Shalom Brother,
It is written:
1Th 5:16 Rejoice evermore.
1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1Th 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
I encourage you read my blog called "Giving Thanks For All Things".
The following is a portion from a teaching I am listening to and transcribing into the written word.
In the Book of Amos 3:3 how can two walk together except they be agreed? So many people say, 'Oh I want to have a close walk with the Lord' but if you desire a close walk with the Lord but your mouth, your thoughts and your self talk are contrary to the word of God, how can you walk close walk with God? So you have the choice to make, to either agree to speak or think in harmony with God's word or disagree. And if you do agree to disagree, then do you know what happens? It will created disagreeable conditions within yourself, in your being, in your spirit being first, and then disagreeable conditions in your soul and then eventually disagreeable conditions in your body. That's where the sicknesses and diseases start to come and then this will extend with your human relationships with each other. If it's something disagreeable brewing inside of you, then it's going to emanate to outer circumstances and then your human relationships with others is going to be affected and it's going to be disagreeable, also. That's the reason I'm saying, we have the free will choice, either to agree or disagree with God, but if you choose to agree with God and disagree with whatever the devil is saying to you. He may be telling you through your symptoms, through your bank account, through your friends and what other people saying to you and upset you or resent you or reject you or any of these things. If you agree with that and if you drawn to pay attention more and more on these things that are happening around you then you made your choice to dwell on those things, then, there's nothing God can do about it even though God wants you to be happy, He wants you to have happy life and have a prosperous and successful life. But on the other hand, the other side of the coin, the good news is if you choose to agree with God, regardless of your circumstances, regardless of your feelings, regardless of what the symptoms and other things, your sense perceptions are telling you, then the good news is there's nothing the devil can do about it. Amen! Amen!
Things may not turn around 180% over night, because a lot of things that you have built up in your own mind for a long time and those things have built up the bottom of the iceberg, so to speak, a lot of things have been stored away in your subconscious and subconscious levels and they have been accumulated over many years, therefore that's the reason you're not going to change those things overnight, but if you're diligent and you choose to agree and harmonize your thoughts with God's thoughts and God's words, then you're going to start seeing the difference; and you'll actually start seeing your own body, your own thoughts, your own relationships, finances and all these other things are going to start to change. Amen. And so alignment and the integration of your spirit, soul and body is most important and what I'm trying to share with you today is exactly that.
When we experience this and enter into this alignment by ministering unto the Lord, then we will experience that and experience ONENESS with God.
Father God, thank you for being I AM that I AM to us. Whatever our need has already been deposited inside of us because your word tells us, according as His divine power has (already happened) given us EVERY THING we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises that by these we might be made partakers of His divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 1 Peter 1:3,4.
Thank you Father for all things have been given us. Thank you that as your children we have been blessed beyond meausure and that we agree with your word. We will rejoice evermore and we will give thanks for all things, for this is your will for us.
Isa 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isa 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Isa 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Holy Spirit, minister this word to this amazing godly family. In Yeshua's name. Amen.
