THANKS FOR SENDING THE MESSENGERS
When we enter the presence of God, the things we may be going through, we feel we have hope. Knowing that God is present and we have hIm at our disposal changes our perspective and attitude. That’s the reason I always pray, reading the Bible. I also listen to CDs and read the faith-filled materials I collected from the five-fold ministries or anointing Christian authors because I expect the Lord to give me revelation knowledge behind those sentences and sermons, even if I am listening in the afternoon or evening while I am sleeping. God speaks to me through the anointing of preachers and authors.
The Psalmist said, I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears, and those who see the Lord shall not lack any good thing (Psalm 34:4, 10). Seeking the Lord to enter His presence is not only an act of the will. It’s also an act of faith.
Finally, I want to thank all the Ministries I partnered with for several years for all they have DIVINE TEACHING imparted into my life and their associates. I learned many lessons from them for references in my divine assignment and mission for book writing. This book has been in my spirit for many years. I have waited patiently to tell my story.
DIVINE TEACHERS
I want to express my thanksgiving to these following heroes who impacted my life for several years, the mentors whom I learned from these fivefold anointing ministries such as the ff: Joyce and David Meyers, Benny Hinn, Billy Graham Ministries, Kenneth, and Gloria, Kellie Copeland that includes George and Terri Pearson, Jerry, and Carolyn Savelle, Jesse and Cathy Duplantis, Creflo and Taffi Dollar Ministries and many anointed Christian authors (Bill Johnson, Joseph Prince, Brian, Candice, Simmons, & Gretchen Rodriguez-co-author) that helped me from their teachings. I also thank other ministries, the Hillsong Church, Koorong On-Line Christian bookstore, and many more preacher evangelists and anointing Christian authors who preached the Gospel through their church service! The old revivalist authors are very fantastic to learn as well.
“Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be known unto God. (Phil. 4:6).
In AMP, “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”
Your prayers ought to be part of thanksgiving. Paul made it clear how essential to be thankful to God. It is wise to enter into God’s presence with thanksgiving and make it the first you can do. It’s like when you meet someone for the first time and want to say “Hello,” How are you? You wouldn’t be rude to blurt out; I got these problems and troubles. Hey! I’d like to talk to you about my needs. In other words, we must be polite before we introduce ourselves, ask them how their family and how they are, and talk with them for a bit. Right! Of course, it would! Engaging in an introductory conversation is a courtesy and a sign of respect. As for me, when I happen to be in the prayer closet. I wait, and then, “Good Morning, Lord? What is our plan today? Any message that you want to say to me. So, I open the Bible, which I always do. Opening the Bible is always advantageous, not putting it on the bookshelf and coffee table. I wait for His Presence.
Of course, you want to ask me. What! I can’t see God that I have to wait for Him. I usually do it in the morning. I learned this from Benny Hinn, Jerry Savelle, and others. I want to share it with you. The best entrance is playing the Worship PRAISE Song. I have to say, maybe not the rock and noisy one but the soft and solemn one. Then, I read this Psalm 100. Later on, the other Psalms. It’s like inviting the Lord to come to His throne of grace. Thanksgiving carries a lot of weight and glory. Psalm 100:4.
When God observes an attitude of gratitude in us, it moves Him.
God wants the same kind of courtesy and respect. When you go into your prayer closet, he appreciates it when you start your prayers by thanking Him. So, we thank Him for who He is and what He has done.
