We are walking in today:  A Sacrifice Of Thanksgiving!

Leviticus 22:29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.  Fiveamprayer offer up a sacrifice of Thanksgiving unto the Lord this morning!  Psalm 50:12-17, 23 12) If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13) Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14) Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15) And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 16) But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17) Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee. 23) Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.  I read Psalm 50 the other day as I was making my way through the Psalms.  And two particular sections struck me with penetrating truth and sweetness: offer to God a sacrifice of Thanksgiving (verse 14), the one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me (verse 23).  There is a refreshing, unburdening confidence that washes over my soul when I consider that God is most pleased by simple, humble gratitude.  There are two simple ways to glorify God: to ask (as in verse 15) and to thank (as in verse 23).  "Offer to God a sacrifice of Thanksgiving."  This is a precious admonition to the humble in heart, to those who tremble at God's holiness and find themselves desperate before His perfect law.  He is pleased most of all when we need Him, when we cry out to Him, when we call upon His name.  In Psalm 50, God does not want our devotion--He wants our desperation, so that grace can overflow into gratitude.  Amen!  Offer your sacrifice of Thanksgiving!!
On this Thanksgiving morning I was thinking about Priscilla, how she said that she was gonna fast all day today.  She is offering a sacrifice of thanksgiving.  God is truly gonna use her to glorify Him.  Priscilla, share your testimony, with us:   She has so much to be thankful for.  He has been so good and changed her life.  She wants to give God a sacrifice of thanksgiving because, her sons are saved and are turning to God in prayer.  She is thankful for being saved and blessed by God.  She is made stronger in her faith with what she has gone through.  She knows God better, that He is a mighty and powerful God!  Priscilla found fiveamprayer, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, through a new radio that she had not used before, where she heard the broadcast and got the information for the line.  That radio has not worked since.  She was at the library typing up  a letter in Word and she was gonna close out the letter and God wrote out the scripture, how He will go after the lost sheep, leaving the 99 to bring back that one that is lost.  And God has done that for her, bringing back her sons and that is why she is fasting today.  Malika has just gotten her GED, can you share your testimony with us?  She is so thankful this morning because God has given her the recipe.  He has truly changed her life.  She is so thankful that she really knows Him, not just of Him.  She is in relationship with God.  That He has proven His word to be true.  In January He said this is our year of abundance, not because of finances but of knowing and being in relationship with Him.  She has accomplished so much by relying on Him.  Because His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways.  She had to decrease so that He could increase.  She is thankful for knowing the Almighty God.  One thing that she was trying to do for years was to go back to school.  She had dropped out of school in the 8th grade and was trying to get her GED.  Every time she went back to school, the pressures of live weighed her down and she would get discouraged and quit.  She even tried to get a medical assistant's degree and that didn't work either.  She finally gave it all over to Him.  It is the Lord that keeps her strong no matter what comes up in her life, even in her marriage.  Because she let God be in control--on Saturday she graduated!!  He has done so much for her!  Give it to Him, He knows the plans that He has for you!  He knows our beginning and our end!  Mr. Brown can you share your testimony with us?  God has done so much for him!  It is so much where can he start?!  He is thankful to God for bringing together fiveamprayer, it has done so much for him.  Thankful for the Lord keeping him everyday.  He has been kept for 2 years without a job, God kept him in unemployment--with a roof over his head.  There was a point when he lost his lights and electricity, God turned right around and turned them back on!  He is awesome and amazing.  He is thankful for what he has, there are so many that don't have what he has.  He is so grateful for God waking him up to be able to participate in any fashion.  God keeps him everyday, He keeps his health.  He had given him so much and he is so thankful to Him!!
Father we come before You with thanksgiving in our hearts!  Your word says, Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.  It is You, O Lord that makes us more than able, You are our Jehovah Jireh, You are our way out of no way, You bring us out of darkness into Your marvelous light!  You sent Your only begotten Son to die for us!   We offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to You!!  We now know that You are glorified when we humble ourselves.  If it wasn't for Your grace and mercy, where would we be?  Thank You Lord for Your protection!  If it had not been for the Lord on our side, where would we be?  Thank You Lord for showing up and doing a new thing--You told us that this year is our year of abundance and You are worthy of all of the praise!!  Fiveamprayer, take a look around, it doesn't look the same.  You woke us up this morning, give Him your thanks!  Not everyone woke up this morning.  Thank Him for the activity of your limbs and waking up in your right mind.  He gets gooder and gooder.  It is the Lord that carried you through the wilderness to bring you out.  We have so much to be thankful for!!  We offer up a sacrifice of thanksgiving.  Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.  Thank You, Lord we lift up Your name, magnify and glorify You.  There is no name above Your name, Jesus!  We lift up fiveamprayer, for this sacrifice of thanksgiving.  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown.  Let their hearts be full of thanks for all that You have done and all that is already done!  Thank You Lord for forgiving us and casting our sins as far as the east is from the west--they are cast into the sea and remembered no more.  Thank You Lord for teaching us how to forgive so that our prayers are not hindered.  

We seal this prayer in His precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

Welcome to the overflow...
You gotta make your sacrifice of thanksgiving!  God has granted every request that we have made.  He will answer every prayer!  Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.  He is um, um good!  Tell God thank You for yourself.  Don't have no rocks crying out for you!  Thank Him this morning, in the name of Jesus!  We have so much to be thankful for!  All that the Lord has done for us, and brought us through!!  We are standing together giving Him thanks this morning.  You know that in unity there is commanded blessings!  Think about what God has brought you through!!  Give Him thanks!  Give Him praise!  We come to thank You Lord!  You have been so good to us!  Better than we have been to ourselves!!  Thank You Lord for Your peace that surpasses all understanding!  Thank You for the power to speak to the storms, Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  Thank You Jesus!!  Thank You for Your grace!!  Let us walk in this scripture like Paul writes:  2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Thank You Lord!!  Give Him the glory!  Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving.  To God be the glory for the things that He has done!  Glory!  Glory!  Thank You Lord for showing up mighty this morning!  Praise His holy name!!  Thank You Lord, thank You!  Have a blessed day, continue in this spirit of thanksgiving, share His love with all that you meet today!  Amen, amen!
