So happy Thanksgiving to allthose ones.
I know you had a goodThanksgiving and if you still

Okay, Because Thanksgiving wasthree, four days ago, so it's

Hey, if we still eating on it,that means it's a really okay,
because I'm not a left over typeperson.
But anyways, I just want to sayhappy Thanksgiving, make sure

So I want to get on here and doa little quick message, happy
Thanksgiving message, you know,and it's not going to be long, I
(03:31):
put this acronym together.
God gave me this acronym If youknow, I love acronyms because
you know it helps us grow and soI put this acronym together for
be thankful.
All right, we want to make surethat we are being thankful in
everything that God gave us, notjust Thanksgiving season.
(03:54):
Okay, we want to be thankfulthroughout the year, every day
of our life.
So if you, you know, can lookat this acronym or look at this
phrase be thankful, you can puttogether and you can say oh, my
God, you know if I can keep thisin mind, we do this over and
(04:15):
over that we will always stay inthat thankful mode, okay, that
God wants us to stay in, becausewe have to be grateful for
whatever God gives us.
Everything he gives us is aprivilege.
We don't get that opportunityto just say, okay, you know,
yeah, we don't, you know, wedon't want to be entitled,
(04:37):
thanks, we want to be grateful,thanks, all right.
So, anyways, I put together anacronym for be thankful, all
right, and I'm gonna.
I'm gonna try to make thisreally quick because I, like I
said, I didn't want to be wantto hold you too long.
So I just want to give you thisquick acronym and I'm gonna
(05:00):
give you a scripture to go withit.
All right, so I'm gonna prayreally quick before I do that.
I just feel the need to praybecause, whether you believe in
that, yeah, I'm free.
I do these videos pre, ahead oftime.
These are pre videos, but, toget nervous, I want to make sure
(05:20):
that I go before the throne.
All right, dear Heavenly Father,I come to you.
First.
I want to say thank you, god.
I thank you for this moment,this time and this opportunity
that you have carved out foryour people.
God, I thank you now forallowing me to even be able to
speak to your people.
(05:41):
God, we know that the enemy islurking, seeking whom he may
devour God, but we know that youare hearing your there, god.
God, we know that you arealways with us, no matter what
we do, no matter what's going onin our life.
God, we just want to give yourname the praise and the honor.
God, god, I ask you to hide mebehind the cross.
(06:02):
Allow me to speak what needs tobe spoken to your people, god,
on this day.
God, we thank you now for justbeing who you are.
We know you are always seekingand always here.
You're always looking out forus, and so we thank you now, god
, for allowing me to speak.
We thank you now for somebodyto understand and get this word
(06:25):
that I am going to give to yourpeople.
God, I ask you to hide mebehind the cross and allow your
word to be spoken.
All right, I thank you, god, Ilove you and I give your name to
praise and the honor.
It's in Jesus' name that I pray.
Amen, all right.
Okay, so, like I said, I amgoing to give you an acronym for
(06:48):
Be Thankful.
All right, and it's gonna bereally quick.
I'm gonna give you a scriptureto go with it and then I'll be
out your way, okay, so the firstone that God gave me is Beauty
(07:10):
for Ashes, all right.
So the letter V is Beauty forAshes, and, as we know that we
can always have those terriblethings that we go through and
our life may look like it's beenburnt down, but God will always
give us beauty for everythingthat we have endured, okay, and
(07:34):
so the scripture that I have anda lot of these scriptures are
going to be familiar.
So the scripture that I have isIsaiah 61 and three.
It says To grant to those whomourn in Zion, to give them a
beautiful headdress instead ofashes, the oil of gladness
(07:54):
instead of mourning, the garmentof praise instead of a faint
spirit, that they may be calledOaks of Righteousness, the
planting of the Lord, that hemay be glorified.
And I'm gonna give you that inKing James version because I
know everybody's like, wait aminute, that is that with the
(08:16):
same and that's, you know, forthose real, real, real King
James version readers.
So I'm gonna read it in theKing James version instead, to
appoint unto them that mount inZion, to give unto them beauty
for ashes, the oil of joy formourning, the garment of praise
(08:37):
for the spirit of heaviness,that they might be called Trees
of Righteousness, the plantingof the Lord, that he might be
glorified.
Okay, and, as you know, we knowthat God is gonna get the glory
from everything, okay, so weknow that once he take
(08:57):
everything, he will take awaythat mourning he would give us,
he would give us gladness, hewould take away that faint
spirit and give us a praise onour heart, okay.
So we have to know that youknow when you're thinking about
being thankful.
We know that God is gonna takeall that pain away.
He's gonna turn it intobeautiful.
(09:21):
He's gonna turn it into beauty,all right.
Okay.
So moving right along.
The next thing is we have toknow that we have to give
everything to God.
Okay, we cannot hold that.
We cannot hold the grudges, wecannot hold everything.
We cannot allow the enemy tojust take anything you know for
(09:48):
us to hold it.
We wanna give everything to God.
The Bible says in James 4-7,submit yourself, therefore, to
God, resist the devil, and hewill flee from you.
Okay, and also in Ephesians 5and 20, giving thanks always and
for everything to God, theFather, in the name of our Lord
(10:11):
Jesus Christ.
So we wanna give everything tohim.
Okay, I know that's easier saidthan done, but guess what, when
you are a child of God, you cangive it all to him.
You can allow him to take thatyou know, all those ashes that's
just like with the first oneand give you beauty for ashes.
(10:33):
So you wanna give him all theashes.
You don't wanna keep somethingof them?
What you gonna keep somethingof them, for that's almost like
what you gonna do with themNothing.
So you know, it's just.
You know you wanna be able togive everything to God, okay,
and so then the next one is tobe thankful, which is so I mean?
(10:54):
Well, we wanna thank God everyday, all right?
The Bible says in 1Thessalonians, 5 and 18, it says
give thanks in allcircumstances, for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus foryou, and we wanna make sure that
we are giving everything thatconcerns us.
(11:17):
All right, that's what it saysin King James Version.
But we wanna give everythingthat we want to give thanks in
everything, everything that isgoing on.
We don't wanna ever findourselves not giving thanks, all
right.
So we have to be thankful andwe have to give it every day.
(11:38):
You know, one of those thingsthat we can do is to thank God
for life, health and strength.
I'm telling you, I've beenthanking God all week for
feeling better.
I don't think y'all understand,I was feeling bad, but thank
God.
I thank God every day, everyday that he has given me the
(11:59):
peace, that he has given me myhealing, he has given me the joy
.
He has given it to me.
So I have to be thankful in allcircumstances.
Even when I was sick, I wastelling God thank you for this,
because he allowed me to rest,he allowed me to be downloaded
some new information in me whereI can be able to do what needs
(12:21):
to be done.
All right, so we don't have toworry about it.
And so once we are beingthankful, that makes us moving
on, makes us be happy.
Okay, we have to know that wecan be happy and be glad because
now we have been thankful, wehave thanked him every day, so
(12:43):
might as well be happy becauseyou know God is gonna give it to
you.
So the Bible says in Proverbs 15and 13, a glad heart makes a
cheerful face.
But by sorrow of heart thespirit is crushed.
So if you are walking aroundwith that sad face and not happy
, then guess what your spirit isgonna feel, the same way that
(13:06):
your face looks.
Okay, I know you heard peoplesay oh, you look how I feel and
the thing about it.
They looking happy, but youdon't see it.
You know what I'm saying.
So you have to make sure thatyou have a glad heart because it
makes your face be cheerful.
(13:28):
And even though those peoplethat say you look like how I
look.
They heart must be glad becausethey ain't looking that bad.
Ooh, that right.
But the Bible says in Proverbs17 and 22, a joyful heart is
good medicine, but a crushedspirit drives up the bones.
So you might as well be happy,you might as well have a joyful
(13:48):
heart.
Might as well go ahead and justbe happy.
I know it's easier said thandone, because I know people be
like ooh, I don't like happy forall the time and, trust me, I
ain't happy all the time.
All right, you can ask mychildren.
They'd be like okay, wait aminute, hold up mommy, hold up,
(14:11):
cute for Christ.
But you know the thing about ityou wanna be happy the majority
of the time.
That's what I'm saying.
Happiness, happiness, okay, and, like I said, I'm trying to
move through these fairly quicks, like get you outta here, all
right.
So, and the next one is the A,which is acknowledge that God is
(14:36):
the one that is doingeverything.
Okay, we have to know that Godis the one that is making our
way, he is the one that is goingbefore us.
Like the Bible says in Proverbs3 and 6, in all your ways,
acknowledge Him and he will makestraight your path and he will
(14:58):
open up those doors for you.
So we have to be able to know.
In order to stay in thankfulmode, we have to be able to
acknowledge the fact that God isdoing everything in our life.
We cannot take the credit foranything.
All right, we don't want to.
You know, we wanna know thatGod is the one that's doing it.
(15:20):
The Bible says in Matthew 6 and33, but seek first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness,and all these things will be
added to you.
So we know that we canacknowledge God, we know that we
can tell Him what it is,because, you know, we thank Him
every day.
Well, going back, we, you know,we gave.
(15:44):
We brought Him our ashes.
We brought Him that and he is.
He's gonna turn it into beauty.
We gave Him everything.
We didn't keep anything.
We didn't keep none of theashes.
We didn't keep none of that.
We gave it to Him.
And then we turned around andthanked Him every day, because
we know we can praise Him inadvance.
And then we're happy and thenwe acknowledge the fact that God
(16:06):
is the one that is doing it.
You know the Bible says inEcclesiastes 12 and 1, remember
also your Creator in the days ofyour youth, before the evil
days come and the years drawnear, of which you will say I
have no pleasure in them,because we know we don't have to
worry about the days, about you.
We don't have to worry about itbecause now we don't give it to
(16:29):
God.
Okay, so I'm moving right alongand the end is we will never
give in.
And I know, like I said, I knowthat it's easier said than done
, but we know that we cannotgive in because we know that
(16:50):
greater is in me, okay, greateris he that is in me.
The Bible says in 1 John, 4 and4, little children, you are
from God and have overcome them,for he who is in you is greater
than he who is in the world.
Okay, so we don't have to worryabout that.
(17:12):
So we don't have to never givein, you know, even in good time.
You know we don't have to getweary, we don't have to give in.
You know we have to know thatGod is always with us.
You know he will guide us, hewill lead us.
The Bible says in John 16, 13,when the spirit of truth comes,
(17:35):
he will guide you into all thetruth, for he will not speak on
His authority, but whatever hehears, he will speak and he will
declare to you the things thatare to come.
So you don't have to worry, youdon't have to give in, you
don't have to.
You know that.
You know, don't ever give in,we will never give in.
(17:57):
And I know a lot of people tryto say, oh, don't use the word
never.
Well, I ain't gonna never givein to God.
Why would people bring up theword never if we can't use the
word never?
You know what I'm saying.
So we, I will never give in toGod.
I mean to the end of me.
I will never give in because Iknow that God is the one that is
(18:19):
leading and guiding me.
So I'm not gonna give in.
I mean, you know.
So, anyways, we're moving rightalong, and the next one is to
know that God is always there,he is always with you in those
times of trouble.
The Bible says, in Psalms 41and 6, to the choir master of
(18:42):
the sons of Korah, according toAlba, a song God is our refuge
and strength, a very presenthelp in trouble.
Okay, so we know that we don'thave to worry, we know that we
do not have to be afraid.
(19:03):
The Bible says in Deuteronomy31 and 6, be strong and
courageous, do not fear or be indread of them, for it is the
Lord, your God, who goes withyou.
He will not leave you orforsake you.
So we know that God will alwaysbe there.
We know that he is always gonnabe with us.
(19:26):
We don't have to fear at all.
Like the Bible says in Isaiah41 and 10, fear not, for I am
with you.
Be not dismayed, for I am yourGod.
I will strengthen you, I willhelp you, I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand.
So we know that God is going tobe that one that is going to be
(19:50):
with us always.
Okay, we have to know this.
This is something that you needto know, because we know that
the Bible says though gay,though I walk through the valley
, the shadow of death, I fear noevil because we know that God
is with us.
All right, so we know that heis with us always and we don't
(20:11):
have to worry about that at all,because we don't have to be
afraid.
We don't have to be afraid ofhim.
So, moving right along, we aregoing really well today, and so
the next one is we have to knowthat we have our fam.
(20:38):
Okay.
So, after we know that God isalways with us, we always know
that our family is with us.
Okay, we know that we can haveour family there with us.
And so the Bible says in 1Thessalonians, 5 and 11,
(21:00):
therefore, encourage one anotherand build one another up, just
as you are doing so.
And we always know, like I said, ecclesiastes 4 and 9, two are
better than one because theyhave a good reward for their
toil.
So we know our family is there.
(21:20):
We have to always stay thankfulfor our family, thankful for the
ones that God give us, the onesthat God has placed us with.
The Bible says Proverbs 27 and17, iron sharpens iron and one
man sharpens another.
So our family is the one thatcompletes us, the ones that we
(21:44):
can be together because we havethe same mind.
Like Philippians 2 and 2 sayscomplete my joy by being of the
same mind, having the same love,being in full accord and of one
mind.
Okay.
So we know that being together,being in our family, you know
(22:09):
that is one.
So, like I said, we have to goback.
We know that thankful or bethankful can.
We can be beauty for ashes.
We know that we give everythingto God, we know that we are
(22:29):
thankful every day, we know thatwe are happy, we know that we
can acknowledge God in all hisways.
We know that we're never givenup.
We know that he is, we can knowthat he is always there, and
then we know our family is there.
And then next you go tounderstanding that God, that
(22:52):
without God it is impossible.
Okay.
The Bible says, of course,proverbs 3 and 5, trust in the
Lord with all your heart and donot lean to your own
understanding.
So we understand that Godwithout God it is impossible.
All right, can you say that,yeah, I can't say it, type it in
(23:16):
the chat, it is impossible,okay.
But the Bible says in Proverbs4 and 7, the beginning of wisdom
is this get wisdom, andwhatever you get, get insight.
Okay.
And we know that the Bible saysin all you get, get understand.
That's what it is.
(23:36):
So we wanna understand that,god, that it is impossible to be
thankful without God by our.
I don't see how you can bethankful if you it's hard to
live a life that you knowwithout God and say that you're
(23:57):
thankful.
I don't know so.
But anyways, the last one islove God with all your heart.
Okay, love Him with all yourheart.
The Bible says we love becausehe first loved us.
(24:18):
That's in 1 John 4 and 19.
We love because he first lovedus.
Okay, we have to know that wehave to love God with our whole
heart.
We cannot, you know, bethankful without loving God,
without it, it says.
(24:39):
The Bible says the 1 John 4, hey, anyone who does not love does
not know God, because God islove.
So you cannot have, you cannotbe thankful, without saying that
you don't love God.
You know what I'm sayingWithout saying that you have to
love God, or saying that youdon't love God, you cannot be
(25:00):
thankful.
So you wanna make sure that youare loving God with your whole
heart and not giving Him half ofyour heart.
You wanna love God, you know.
You wanna love God like howChrist did for us.
The Bible says in Romans 5 and8,.
But God shows His love for usin that while we were still
(25:21):
sinners, christ died for us.
So we wanna show the love thatChrist gave for us.
The Bible says in John 3, 16,.
For God so loved the world thathe gave His only Son, that
whoever believes in Him shouldnot perish but have eternal life
or everlasting life.
So we know that God is love.
(25:43):
Right, that's all I wanted tosay.
We have to make sure that we arethankful for what God is doing
in our life.
We have to make sure that weare thankful.
We have to know that God cantake the beauty for ashes and he
will exchange with us.
(26:05):
We know that we can giveeverything to God we can, and
then we can be thankful everyday and happy, and then we can
acknowledge Him in all our waysand then we can never give up
and know that he's always thereand then always keep in mind
that our family is there for usand we can understand what God
(26:29):
is doing and then we can lovelike how he loves for us.
All right, that's it.
That's all I wanted to say.
I wanna say happy Thanksgivingagain.
I am going to say a quickprayer and then I am going to
let you go.
All right, dear Heavenly Father, I come to you first.
(26:51):
I want to say thank you.
Thank you for this opportunityto say thank you, god, god, we
just thank you for the thingsthat you have done for us.
God, god, we just thank you forthat moment that you have given
us, god, to be able to comebefore you, god, to be able to

we can give you these ashes thatwe have.
We don't want to keep nothing,god.
We want you to be able torestore us back to life.
(27:32):
God, god, give us that beautyfor the ashes.
God, god, we thank you now forbringing everything to you and
not holding anything back.
God, god, we want to be thankful.
Every day, god, every day thatwe come to you, we want to be
able to say thank you, god.

Okay, Because Thanksgiving wasthree, four days ago, so it's

So I want to get on here and doa little quick message, happy
Thanksgiving message, you know,and it's not going to be long, I
(03:31):
put this acronym together.
God gave me this acronym If youknow, I love acronyms because
you know it helps us grow and soI put this acronym together for
be thankful.
All right, we want to make surethat we are being thankful in
everything that God gave us, notjust Thanksgiving season.
(03:54):
Okay, we want to be thankfulthroughout the year, every day
of our life.
So if you, you know, can lookat this acronym or look at this
phrase be thankful, you can puttogether and you can say oh, my
God, you know if I can keep thisin mind, we do this over and
(04:15):
over that we will always stay inthat thankful mode, okay, that
God wants us to stay in, becausewe have to be grateful for
whatever God gives us.
Everything he gives us is aprivilege.
We don't get that opportunityto just say, okay, you know,
yeah, we don't, you know, wedon't want to be entitled,
(04:37):
thanks, we want to be grateful,thanks, all right.
So, anyways, I put together anacronym for be thankful, all
right, and I'm gonna.
I'm gonna try to make thisreally quick because I, like I
said, I didn't want to be wantto hold you too long.
So I just want to give you thisquick acronym and I'm gonna
(05:00):
give you a scripture to go withit.
All right, so I'm gonna prayreally quick before I do that.
I just feel the need to praybecause, whether you believe in
that, yeah, I'm free.
I do these videos pre, ahead oftime.
These are pre videos, but, toget nervous, I want to make sure
(05:20):
that I go before the throne.
All right, dear Heavenly Father,I come to you.
First.
I want to say thank you, god.
I thank you for this moment,this time and this opportunity
that you have carved out foryour people.
God, I thank you now forallowing me to even be able to
speak to your people.
(05:41):
God, we know that the enemy islurking, seeking whom he may
devour God, but we know that youare hearing your there, god.
God, we know that you arealways with us, no matter what
we do, no matter what's going onin our life.
God, we just want to give yourname the praise and the honor.
God, god, I ask you to hide mebehind the cross.
(06:02):
Allow me to speak what needs tobe spoken to your people, god,
on this day.
God, we thank you now for justbeing who you are.
We know you are always seekingand always here.
You're always looking out forus, and so we thank you now, god
, for allowing me to speak.
We thank you now for somebodyto understand and get this word
(06:25):
that I am going to give to yourpeople.
God, I ask you to hide mebehind the cross and allow your
word to be spoken.
All right, I thank you, god, Ilove you and I give your name to
praise and the honor.
It's in Jesus' name that I pray.
Amen, all right.
Okay, so, like I said, I amgoing to give you an acronym for
(06:48):
Be Thankful.
All right, and it's gonna bereally quick.
I'm gonna give you a scriptureto go with it and then I'll be
out your way, okay, so the firstone that God gave me is Beauty
(07:10):
for Ashes, all right.
So the letter V is Beauty forAshes, and, as we know that we
can always have those terriblethings that we go through and
our life may look like it's beenburnt down, but God will always
give us beauty for everythingthat we have endured, okay, and
(07:34):
so the scripture that I have anda lot of these scriptures are
going to be familiar.
So the scripture that I have isIsaiah 61 and three.
It says To grant to those whomourn in Zion, to give them a
beautiful headdress instead ofashes, the oil of gladness
(07:54):
instead of mourning, the garmentof praise instead of a faint
spirit, that they may be calledOaks of Righteousness, the
planting of the Lord, that hemay be glorified.
And I'm gonna give you that inKing James version because I
know everybody's like, wait aminute, that is that with the
(08:16):
same and that's, you know, forthose real, real, real King
James version readers.
So I'm gonna read it in theKing James version instead, to
appoint unto them that mount inZion, to give unto them beauty
for ashes, the oil of joy formourning, the garment of praise
(08:37):
for the spirit of heaviness,that they might be called Trees
of Righteousness, the plantingof the Lord, that he might be
glorified.
Okay, and, as you know, we knowthat God is gonna get the glory
from everything, okay, so weknow that once he take
(08:57):
everything, he will take awaythat mourning he would give us,
he would give us gladness, hewould take away that faint
spirit and give us a praise onour heart, okay.
So we have to know that youknow when you're thinking about
being thankful.
We know that God is gonna takeall that pain away.
He's gonna turn it intobeautiful.
(09:21):
He's gonna turn it into beauty,all right.
Okay.
So moving right along.
The next thing is we have toknow that we have to give
everything to God.
Okay, we cannot hold that.
We cannot hold the grudges, wecannot hold everything.
We cannot allow the enemy tojust take anything you know for
(09:48):
us to hold it.
We wanna give everything to God.
The Bible says in James 4-7,submit yourself, therefore, to
God, resist the devil, and hewill flee from you.
Okay, and also in Ephesians 5and 20, giving thanks always and
for everything to God, theFather, in the name of our Lord
(10:11):
Jesus Christ.
So we wanna give everything tohim.
Okay, I know that's easier saidthan done, but guess what, when
you are a child of God, you cangive it all to him.
You can allow him to take thatyou know, all those ashes that's
just like with the first oneand give you beauty for ashes.
(10:33):
So you wanna give him all theashes.
You don't wanna keep somethingof them?
What you gonna keep somethingof them, for that's almost like
what you gonna do with themNothing.
So you know, it's just.
You know you wanna be able togive everything to God, okay,
and so then the next one is tobe thankful, which is so I mean?
(10:54):
Well, we wanna thank God everyday, all right?
The Bible says in 1Thessalonians, 5 and 18, it says
give thanks in allcircumstances, for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus foryou, and we wanna make sure that
we are giving everything thatconcerns us.
(11:17):
All right, that's what it saysin King James Version.
But we wanna give everythingthat we want to give thanks in
everything, everything that isgoing on.
We don't wanna ever findourselves not giving thanks, all
right.
So we have to be thankful andwe have to give it every day.
(11:38):
You know, one of those thingsthat we can do is to thank God
for life, health and strength.
I'm telling you, I've beenthanking God all week for
feeling better.
I don't think y'all understand,I was feeling bad, but thank
God.
I thank God every day, everyday that he has given me the
(11:59):
peace, that he has given me myhealing, he has given me the joy
.
He has given it to me.
So I have to be thankful in allcircumstances.
Even when I was sick, I wastelling God thank you for this,
because he allowed me to rest,he allowed me to be downloaded
some new information in me whereI can be able to do what needs
(12:21):
to be done.
All right, so we don't have toworry about it.
And so once we are beingthankful, that makes us moving
on, makes us be happy.
Okay, we have to know that wecan be happy and be glad because
now we have been thankful, wehave thanked him every day, so
(12:43):
might as well be happy becauseyou know God is gonna give it to
you.
So the Bible says in Proverbs 15and 13, a glad heart makes a
cheerful face.
But by sorrow of heart thespirit is crushed.
So if you are walking aroundwith that sad face and not happy
, then guess what your spirit isgonna feel, the same way that
(13:06):
your face looks.
Okay, I know you heard peoplesay oh, you look how I feel and
the thing about it.
They looking happy, but youdon't see it.
You know what I'm saying.
So you have to make sure thatyou have a glad heart because it
makes your face be cheerful.
(13:28):
And even though those peoplethat say you look like how I
look.
They heart must be glad becausethey ain't looking that bad.
Ooh, that right.
But the Bible says in Proverbs17 and 22, a joyful heart is
good medicine, but a crushedspirit drives up the bones.
So you might as well be happy,you might as well have a joyful
(13:48):
heart.
Might as well go ahead and justbe happy.
I know it's easier said thandone, because I know people be
like ooh, I don't like happy forall the time and, trust me, I
ain't happy all the time.
All right, you can ask mychildren.
They'd be like okay, wait aminute, hold up mommy, hold up,
(14:11):
cute for Christ.
But you know the thing about ityou wanna be happy the majority
of the time.
That's what I'm saying.
Happiness, happiness, okay, and, like I said, I'm trying to
move through these fairly quicks, like get you outta here, all
right.
So, and the next one is the A,which is acknowledge that God is
(14:36):
the one that is doingeverything.
Okay, we have to know that Godis the one that is making our
way, he is the one that is goingbefore us.
Like the Bible says in Proverbs3 and 6, in all your ways,
acknowledge Him and he will makestraight your path and he will
(14:58):
open up those doors for you.
So we have to be able to know.
In order to stay in thankfulmode, we have to be able to
acknowledge the fact that God isdoing everything in our life.
We cannot take the credit foranything.
All right, we don't want to.
You know, we wanna know thatGod is the one that's doing it.
(15:20):
The Bible says in Matthew 6 and33, but seek first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness,and all these things will be
added to you.
So we know that we canacknowledge God, we know that we
can tell Him what it is,because, you know, we thank Him
every day.
Well, going back, we, you know,we gave.
(15:44):
We brought Him our ashes.
We brought Him that and he is.
He's gonna turn it into beauty.
We gave Him everything.
We didn't keep anything.
We didn't keep none of theashes.
We didn't keep none of that.
We gave it to Him.
And then we turned around andthanked Him every day, because
we know we can praise Him inadvance.
And then we're happy and thenwe acknowledge the fact that God
(16:06):
is the one that is doing it.
You know the Bible says inEcclesiastes 12 and 1, remember
also your Creator in the days ofyour youth, before the evil
days come and the years drawnear, of which you will say I
have no pleasure in them,because we know we don't have to
worry about the days, about you.
We don't have to worry about itbecause now we don't give it to
(16:29):
God.
Okay, so I'm moving right alongand the end is we will never
give in.
And I know, like I said, I knowthat it's easier said than done
, but we know that we cannotgive in because we know that
(16:50):
greater is in me, okay, greateris he that is in me.
The Bible says in 1 John, 4 and4, little children, you are
from God and have overcome them,for he who is in you is greater
than he who is in the world.
Okay, so we don't have to worryabout that.
(17:12):
So we don't have to never givein, you know, even in good time.
You know we don't have to getweary, we don't have to give in.
You know we have to know thatGod is always with us.
You know he will guide us, hewill lead us.
The Bible says in John 16, 13,when the spirit of truth comes,
(17:35):
he will guide you into all thetruth, for he will not speak on
His authority, but whatever hehears, he will speak and he will
declare to you the things thatare to come.
So you don't have to worry, youdon't have to give in, you
don't have to.
You know that.
You know, don't ever give in,we will never give in.
(17:57):
And I know a lot of people tryto say, oh, don't use the word
never.
Well, I ain't gonna never givein to God.
Why would people bring up theword never if we can't use the
word never?
You know what I'm saying.
So we, I will never give in toGod.
I mean to the end of me.
I will never give in because Iknow that God is the one that is
(18:19):
leading and guiding me.
So I'm not gonna give in.
I mean, you know.
So, anyways, we're moving rightalong, and the next one is to
know that God is always there,he is always with you in those
times of trouble.
The Bible says, in Psalms 41and 6, to the choir master of
(18:42):
the sons of Korah, according toAlba, a song God is our refuge
and strength, a very presenthelp in trouble.
Okay, so we know that we don'thave to worry, we know that we
do not have to be afraid.
(19:03):
The Bible says in Deuteronomy31 and 6, be strong and
courageous, do not fear or be indread of them, for it is the
Lord, your God, who goes withyou.
He will not leave you orforsake you.
So we know that God will alwaysbe there.
We know that he is always gonnabe with us.
(19:26):
We don't have to fear at all.
Like the Bible says in Isaiah41 and 10, fear not, for I am
with you.
Be not dismayed, for I am yourGod.
I will strengthen you, I willhelp you, I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand.
So we know that God is going tobe that one that is going to be
(19:50):
with us always.
Okay, we have to know this.
This is something that you needto know, because we know that
the Bible says though gay,though I walk through the valley
, the shadow of death, I fear noevil because we know that God
is with us.
All right, so we know that heis with us always and we don't
(20:11):
have to worry about that at all,because we don't have to be
afraid.
We don't have to be afraid ofhim.
So, moving right along, we aregoing really well today, and so
the next one is we have to knowthat we have our fam.
(20:38):
Okay.
So, after we know that God isalways with us, we always know
that our family is with us.
Okay, we know that we can haveour family there with us.
And so the Bible says in 1Thessalonians, 5 and 11,
(21:00):
therefore, encourage one anotherand build one another up, just
as you are doing so.
And we always know, like I said, ecclesiastes 4 and 9, two are
better than one because theyhave a good reward for their
toil.
So we know our family is there.
(21:20):
We have to always stay thankfulfor our family, thankful for the
ones that God give us, the onesthat God has placed us with.
The Bible says Proverbs 27 and17, iron sharpens iron and one
man sharpens another.
So our family is the one thatcompletes us, the ones that we
(21:44):
can be together because we havethe same mind.
Like Philippians 2 and 2 sayscomplete my joy by being of the
same mind, having the same love,being in full accord and of one
mind.
Okay.
So we know that being together,being in our family, you know
(22:09):
that is one.
So, like I said, we have to goback.
We know that thankful or bethankful can.
We can be beauty for ashes.
We know that we give everythingto God, we know that we are
(22:29):
thankful every day, we know thatwe are happy, we know that we
can acknowledge God in all hisways.
We know that we're never givenup.
We know that he is, we can knowthat he is always there, and
then we know our family is there.
And then next you go tounderstanding that God, that
(22:52):
without God it is impossible.
Okay.
The Bible says, of course,proverbs 3 and 5, trust in the
Lord with all your heart and donot lean to your own
understanding.
So we understand that Godwithout God it is impossible.
All right, can you say that,yeah, I can't say it, type it in
(23:16):
the chat, it is impossible,okay.
But the Bible says in Proverbs4 and 7, the beginning of wisdom
is this get wisdom, andwhatever you get, get insight.
Okay.
And we know that the Bible saysin all you get, get understand.
That's what it is.
(23:36):
So we wanna understand that,god, that it is impossible to be
thankful without God by our.
I don't see how you can bethankful if you it's hard to
live a life that you knowwithout God and say that you're
(23:57):
thankful.
I don't know so.
But anyways, the last one islove God with all your heart.
Okay, love Him with all yourheart.
The Bible says we love becausehe first loved us.
(24:18):
That's in 1 John 4 and 19.
We love because he first lovedus.
Okay, we have to know that wehave to love God with our whole
heart.
We cannot, you know, bethankful without loving God,
without it, it says.
(24:39):
The Bible says the 1 John 4, hey, anyone who does not love does
not know God, because God islove.
So you cannot have, you cannotbe thankful, without saying that
you don't love God.
You know what I'm sayingWithout saying that you have to
love God, or saying that youdon't love God, you cannot be
(25:00):
thankful.
So you wanna make sure that youare loving God with your whole
heart and not giving Him half ofyour heart.
You wanna love God, you know.
You wanna love God like howChrist did for us.
The Bible says in Romans 5 and8,.
But God shows His love for usin that while we were still
(25:21):
sinners, christ died for us.
So we wanna show the love thatChrist gave for us.
The Bible says in John 3, 16,.
For God so loved the world thathe gave His only Son, that
whoever believes in Him shouldnot perish but have eternal life
or everlasting life.
So we know that God is love.
(25:43):
Right, that's all I wanted tosay.
We have to make sure that we arethankful for what God is doing
in our life.
We have to make sure that weare thankful.
We have to know that God cantake the beauty for ashes and he
will exchange with us.
(26:05):
We know that we can giveeverything to God we can, and
then we can be thankful everyday and happy, and then we can
acknowledge Him in all our waysand then we can never give up
and know that he's always thereand then always keep in mind
that our family is there for usand we can understand what God
(26:29):
is doing and then we can lovelike how he loves for us.
All right, that's it.
That's all I wanted to say.
I wanna say happy Thanksgivingagain.
I am going to say a quickprayer and then I am going to
let you go.
All right, dear Heavenly Father, I come to you first.
(26:51):
I want to say thank you.
Thank you for this opportunityto say thank you, god, god, we
just thank you for the thingsthat you have done for us.
God, god, we just thank you forthat moment that you have given
us, god, to be able to comebefore you, god, to be able to

anything to hinder us from beingable to be in your presence.
God, we just thank you for whoyou are on this day.
God, god, we know that if we canbring everything to you, god,
we can give you these ashes thatwe have.
We don't want to keep nothing,god.
We want you to be able torestore us back to life.
(27:32):
God, god, give us that beautyfor the ashes.
God, god, we thank you now forbringing everything to you and
not holding anything back.
God, god, we want to be thankful.
Every day, god, every day thatwe come to you, we want to be
able to say thank you, god.
God, it's nothing but to saythank you, god.
(27:53):
We don't want anything, but wedesire to be close to you.
So we thank you now, god.
God, we want to thank you so wecan be happy.
God, we want to be happy, andthen we want to be able to
acknowledge you and to let youknow that we'll never give up.
God, we thank you now forknowing that you are there with
(28:14):
us, god, hallelujah.
We thank you now for our family, god, and understanding what
you're doing, god, and we thankyou now for your love, god.
We just thank you now for beingthankful.
We want to be thankful in allour ways, god, and so we thank
you now, god, god, we love younow for touching our bodies, god
(28:35):
, God.
We thank you now for healing usfrom the crown of our head to
the soul of our feet, god, god.

(28:56):
you are diverting it from us,god, and so we thank you now,
god, in this moment.
God, we thank you now, god, forthe life and the health and the
strength that you are giving toyour people.
God, god, we thank you now,hallelujah.
We thank you now, god, god.
We know that the enemy wants tokeep us from getting this
(29:16):

that you have given us, god.
