For I consider that the sufferings of this present time

are not worth comparing with the glory

that is going to be revealed to us.”

Romans 8:18

 

Funny how it is okay to blame God

for evil and suffering in the world,

but it is not necessary to thank Him

for what is good and pleasant.

Just take a look at Job and Joseph in the Bible. Suffering is from the curse of sin from Adam and Eve. God has a plan for our lives and that includes our suffering

Romans 8:28

 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

These words a wonderful man named Derek Prince has changed the way I pray for the very reason you have stated. Who thanks Abba-Yah when the good things happen? If you search the YouTube you can find his video. I highly recommend it!

Thanksgiving, Praise & Worship

Part 1 – Thanksgiving
A. The different aspects of thanksgiving, praise and worship
  1. By thanksgiving we acknowledge God’s goodness
  2. By praise we acknowledge God’s greatness
  3. By worship we acknowledge God’s holiness
B. Compare NKJV/NIV (Heb. 12:28)
  1. “Let us have grace” (NKJV)
    a. To “have grace” is to say thank you
    b. To “have grace” is to have thankfulness
    c. French: grace; Italian: grazie; Spanish: gracias (all words for “thank you”)
  2. “Let us be thankful” (NIV)
We cannot have grace without being thankful
C. Statements about thankfulness
  1. God commands us to be thankful (Col. 3:15–17)
  2. Do nothing without giving thanks for it
  3. Natural overflow of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18)
  4. Failure to give thanks quenches the Holy Spirit (1 Thess. 5:16–18)
  5. Necessary to make other forms of prayer effective (Phil. 4:6)
  6. First stage of approaching God (Ps. 100:4)
  7. Three unchanging reasons for thanking God (Ps. 100:5)
    a. The Lord is good
    b. His mercy is everlasting
    c. His truth endures to all generations
8. Key to release of supernatural power: (John 6:11, 23)
D. The opposite of being thankful
  1. Downward steps of human race (Rom. 1:21)
    a. Not glorifying God
    b. Not being thankful
  2. To be unthankful is to be unholy (2 Tim. 3:2)
  3. Murmuring is a sin that invites the destroyer (2 Cor. 10:10 [Num. 21:4–9])

Part 2 – Praise
A. Our praise should be in proportion to His greatness (Ps. 48:1)
B. Second stage in approaching God (Ps. 100:4)
C. Gateway to the presence of God (Is. 60:18)
D. Seven scriptural facts about praise
  1. Our praise offers God a throne (Ps. 22:3)
  2. Praise is purpose for which God blesses us and brings victory (Ps. 106:47 [compare 2 Cor. 2:14])
  3. Our tongue is our glory which gives praise to God (Ps. 30:11–12 [compare Ps. 16:9 & Acts 2:26])
  4. Praise is a beautiful garment of our spirit (Is. 61:3 [compare Ps. 33:1])
  5. Praise is a sacrifice (Jer. 33:11 [compare Heb. 13:15–16])
  6. Spiritual weapon to silence and bind Satan (Ps. 8:2; Matt. 21:16 [compare Ps. 149:5–9])
  7. Praise prepares the way for God’s supernatural intervention (Ps. 50:23; 2 Chron. 20:21–22; Jonah 2:9–10; Acts 16:25–26)
E. When to praise God
  1. Every day—forever and ever (Ps. 145:2)
  2. At all times—continually (Ps. 34:1)
F. How to praise God
  1. With the whole heart (Ps. 111:1)
  2. With understanding (Ps. 47:7)
  3. With lifted hands—joyful mouth and lips (Ps. 63:4–5)
  4. Lifting the hands—as an evening sacrifice (Ps. 141:2)
  5. With the dance (Ps. 149:3)
  6. With the timbrel and dance (Ps. 150:4)
G. Who is to praise God
  1. 29 kinds of creatures who are to praise the Lord (Ps. 148:2)
  2. Everything that has breath (Ps. 150:6)
H. Who does not praise God? The dead (Ps. 115:7)

Part 3 – Worship
A. Worship plus praise (Is. 6:2–3)
  1. Worship (attitude) plus praise (utterance)
  2. Covering face and feet is worship
  3. Flying is service
  4. Four wings for worship, two for service
  5. Service should proceed out of worship
B. Worship without service is hypocrisy (Matt. 4:10)
C. Entering into worship (Ps. 95:1–7)
  1. Loud jubilant praise
  2. Reasons for praise
  3. Worship = bow down and kneel
D. Worship with our spirit through the Holy Spirit—truth requires sincerity (John 4:23–24)
  1. Frankincense (worship) is made fragrant by fire (Lev. 2:1–2)
  2. Honey cannot stand fire (Lev. 2:11)
E. Worship unites our spirit directly with God (1 Cor. 6:16–17)—fruitfulness comes from union [compare 2 Cor. 2:14])

I had been through a test not even as harsh as Job's and failed. I could only pray that I would have the unwavering faith of Job if ever tested again...

The Bible talks about how people were complaining and the earth split open and swallowed them up alive. The people were scratching at the earth trying to dig them up and rescue them. We still see things like this happen today.

I listen to Derek Prince for many years on my AM radio in my truck driving to work, and on my job site AM radio while I worked. I attribute a lot of my growth to the voices coming out from Christian radio, those in the past. Thanks for this list,Bawb.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
