Bill Johnson teaches on thankfulness as a daily habit that can turn our difficult situations around. Gratitude is a simple yet powerful tool that takes what the enemy meant for evil, and puts into God’s hand, who is using and working all things together for our good. Scripture instructs us to give thanks in everything. Choosing to give thanks in everything allows you to bypass the limitations of your own emotions and reconnect with God’s heart and hope for your life. While we don’t give thanks for evil, we can give thanks IN everything when we see and trust that God is working all things together for our good.

[Laughter]
[Applause]
boats I’m sorry
but
yeah yeah you’re very kind all right
let’s get going we’ve got we got 30
minutes to go um I want you to go to 1
Timothy chapter
4
one of the most significant truths
to really be embraced and taught on in
the last 20 plus
years has been the whole concept of
impartation it’s it’s just such a rich
truth because there can be a Grace an
anointing a gifting on one person’s life
and they can pray for someone else and
they actually start functioning in that
area but what’s kind of humorous to me
I just forgive me for my sense of humor
again but what’s kind of humorous to me
is oftentimes people will come and ask
for prayer for something that is
actually a mark of maturity you can’t
get through maturity through impartation
if only that were true man we could just
line up and be like Paul tomorrow you
know maturity comes from choices making
decisions so you can pray for someone
you can be one minute old in Jesus Jesus
and pray for somebody who has cancer and
they can be
healed it didn’t come the gifting didn’t
come from maturity uh excuse me the
gifting yeah didn’t come from years in
Christ it just came from Grace the
maturity comes when you are not faced
with decisions what are you going to do
with the fact somebody just got healed
through you do you think it’s your
significance do you think you are the
source of the gift do you think you are
the source of the faith how is the story
shared is it shared with you at the
Center or Jesus and all all we do in
those moments is we’re we’re allow the
Lord is actually measuring what realm or
measure of Glory can we live with can we
carry see the original Target of the
Lord for every person was to actually
live in the glory of God and just for
Simplicity sake we Define the glory as
the manifested presence of Jesus it’s
the actualized presence of
God and so the scripture says all have
fallen short of the glory of God so sin
means to miss the mark So sin causes
people to miss God’s intended target
what was the intended target the glory
of God to live in the manifested
presence of Christ not just as a point
of theology not just as a point of
Doctrine I am in Christ he is in me but
more than that and actualize realize
reality that we live
from where we see the god of scripture
appear in unusual ways and rest upon
people in unusual ways the
manifestations and the temple or
Tabernacle that is actually the
manifestation that is
potentially a part of everybody in this
life who has a personal relationship
with
Jesus so all have sinned and fall short
of the glory missed the mark what does
salvation do it restores us to the
Target it doesn’t restore us halfway to
the Target so that in heaven we can get
the
rest when Jesus said it was enough he
actually meant I did everything needed
to accomplish the original
plan and so
Jesus intends to live is it lives Among
Us lives in US rests upon us but there
are measures of presence that are yet to
be discovered that have been discovered
in Prior
Generations this this isn’t the subject
today so I’ve got to be careful not to
get too lost into that but let let me
just say this his desire is to fully
reveal himself who who he is upon his
people fully but the weightiness of that
Revelation would crush many people who
are following the Lord because there are
fractures in their thinking fractures in
their values it’s not that they don’t
genuinely love Jesus it’s just they have
a weakness in their Foundation that
needs to be revealed gently and
carefully so that the Lord can bring
healing
there it is true it is true the Lord’s
not afraid of bringing junk up in our
life bringing it to the surface but he
brings it to the surface so it can be
dealt with he never brings it to the
surface to shame us or to mock us he
only brings it out so that we will see
what he’s been seeing all
along what confession is is we just make
agreement with what he already knows to
be
true oh God forgive me I’m so arrogant
and proud he says yeah I I knew that
that’s not a shock to me I just allowed
you to see it in this situation that
you’re just very self-centered so we’re
going to break that and what happens he
brings it to the surface so that we can
acknowledge it because once we deeply
confess and repent he gives us the grace
to forsake that which kept us in
bondage all right back to the subject
so the choices that we have uh
throughout life are where where the the
muscle of Integrity the muscle of
character is
developed in uh in lifting weights for
example if you if you lift a light
weight 100 times it’s not going to build
muscle it’s when you build something
that it’s when you lift something that
really pushes Your
Capacity and maybe you can only lift
that thing three times but it’s the
third time that works the most it’s the
hardest lift that’s that’s what actually
accomplish the most and when we have
difficult situations rise up in our life
it’s always for the purpose of building
character it’s never to shame it’s never
to mock it’s never to intimidate or
humiliate it’s always the invitation to
come into Christ into a place of Greater
strength
that’s why in
U
um 1 Thessalonians 5 he says Rejoice
always pray without ceasing and
everything give thanks for this is God’s
will in Christ Jesus concerning
you think through this now Rejoice
always pray without ceasing in
everything give thanks for this is God’s
will in Christ concerning
you one of the most overwhelming or I
shouldn’t say overwhelming one of the
most frequently repeated prayers or
requests from this family of Believers
especially including our school is this
heart uh to know God’s will for our life
and generally what that is reduced to is
God do you want me to be a missionary or
veterinarian or school teacher or Pastor
or whatever we we want to do what he
wants us to do it’s a legitimate prayer
it’s a legitimate
request I’m not sure God’s as concerned
about that as he is about this this says
rejoice always pray without ceasing in
everything give thanks for this is God’s
will in Christ concerning
you this is the will of God for my life
I remember as a young man you know just
pass starting to pastor and weberville
as reading through Thessalonians reading
through these verses and and these
verses just jumped out at me Rejoice
always pray without ceasing and
everything give thanks and I I came face
to face with the fact man
I could only have those three verses and
it would take the rest of my life for me
to learn it I mean if I had nothing else
to read with those three verses I’d have
a full-time job ahead of me because to
Rejoice always to pray without ceasing
and everything give thanks it just means
you have you have disciplined responses
to levels of difficulty and challenges
and opportunities that you face you have
disciplined responses that help to form
and to shape the character in us
remember it’s that it’s that it’s that
character that is able to carry the
weightiness of what God is doing in the
Earth yeah he’s looking for people he
can entrust himself
to the holy impartation idea came I I’ve
been thinking for years I wish if
there’s one thing I could ask of the
Lord to be able to impart to people it
would be a thankful
heart you just don’t get it through
impartation you get it through
choices
do you know in in the in Nehemiah it’s
kind of a to me it’s it’s an awkward uh
part of a story it’s in chapter 11 the
end of chapter 11 and all of chapter 12
it has this reoccurring theme there were
people that were assigned to give thanks
to
God what do you do for a living oh I I I
give thanks I give thanks yeah like what
does that look like well they just give
me a list and uh and I I stand before
God and I say thank you and I and I
mention what we’re thankful for that
sounds that sounds so formal and so so
ritualistic that there’s no life in it
and yet there is a secret in that
routine
yeah you
bypass the limitation of your own
emotional
condition and you make mature choices
which activate your emotional condition
to get into line with what you’re
doing see complaining empowers the
inferior to undermine your
faith complaining only happens when we
are more mindful of a problem than we
are of God it’s impossible to complain
when you’re more aware of the goodness
of God than you are of a problem you
actually violate to do that you’d have
to violate your your conscience your
your sense of purpose your sense of
being the sense of God’s presence you
have to violate all of that just to
start
complaining
I’m glad I’ve never done that I
I says Rejoice always that means like in
the original language always actually
means
always just always just just you know no
matter what happened choose Joy well I
don’t feel like it that’s why it’s a
choice do you think he would have to
command it if we did it
naturally the only reason it’s a command
is because here’s a chance for you to
flex a muscle you said you want to grow
you said you want to carry the
weightiness of God into the Earth here’s
something you can learn to do well what
is it well you’re going to miss your
flight
no no not that not that here I’m I’m I’m
taking you deep into my personal
life when I miss a flight I come up to
the gate this has happened I’ve sat on
the tarmac for
ever CU they can’t find a place to park
my plane and I look at my clock I
go my other flight’s boarding right
now boy am I
thankful boy am I feeling rejoicing
right
now and I just sit there for a half hour
while my plane boards and we’re just
sitting there on the tarmac and then I
noticed my
plane and then the one I’m on finds a
place to
park my first response is not rejoicing
and I’ve got to admit you it’s not my
second
either it’s rejoicing is like way down
the L I’ve got to experience a few other
things first I got to explore the
emotional Tundra before I end up in
rejoicing when that happens to
me when somebody passes you on a
freeway no problem you go as fast as you
want not a problem for me pulls in front
of you and then slows
[Applause]
down it’s not a big deal it’s just wrong
it’s just wrong have they no
[Laughter]
conscience where’s the conviction of the
spirit of God when we need
it Rejoice always pray without ceasing
Rejoice always is is choosing Joy it’s
it’s actually it wouldn’t be commanded
if it wasn’t within the
reach of a choice that’s good Joy is is
like is the part of the Kingdom so it’s
it’s it’s at hand it is always Within
Reach I have I’m a powerful person I say
this with me I am a powerful
person Joy is always Within Reach
join Joy is always Within
Reach pray without ceasing is kind of
like the same as Rejoice always without
ceasing means just
always just pray and don’t
stop interestingly Philippians says
um Philippians Bas I’ll just quote it to
you it’s make reference to it
Philippians 4:6 talks about
supplications and prayers that’s the
earnest getting before the Lord
contending with God for a breakthrough
and he says with Thanksgiving why
Thanksgiving creates the context to keep
prayer unfocus that’s
good I mean I know this is a dumb
question because all of us would say yes
but how many of you want to have
effective prayers of course we do we
want to have we don’t pray just to you
know we’re not running on a treadmill
just trying to cover the miles we we
want to bring impact our heart is to
bring change to see it in our own lives
our families the world around us we want
to see uh things take place because
we’ve
prayed thankfulness is what helps to
keep prayers in
Target there are times where I’m praying
for somebody ministering to somebody
let’s say that’s sick let’s say they
have a a certain problem or arthritis
let’s just say throughout their arm and
and I’m praying for them and nothing’s
happening zero breakthrough and then the
Lord will give me an Insight of a more
precise way to pray and when I change my
prayer from a general prayer of God heal
the arthritis that’s in the arm and I
get down to a very specific or precise
prayer then the Breakthrough comes I
can’t tell you why but I can tell you
this for me to stand up here and just
say oh Jesus please heal everyone in the
room today amen we give you thanks
nothing’s going to
happen why because it’s got to be more
precise and what thankfulness does is it
hones the Precision of our prayer life
because it keeps it about him because is
is that place of dependency place of
acknowledgement the the strength in
prayer is not that you complain or belly
ache about a problem W is that you’ve
joined your heart with his to see his
kingdom come and his purposes worked out
in the earth and thankfulness is what
keeps us engaged with
Precision Rejoice always pray without
ceasing in everything give thanks I you
know I don’t know that anybody’s
supposed to give thanks for a bad report
from the doctor that wouldn’t be doesn’t
make any sense to
me but it does make sense to me to
remain thankful to to keep my list of
blessings stronger than my list of needs
that’s
good how many of you have a you’ve ever
made a prayer list out how many of you
if you’ve not written one you certainly
have one in your mind I mean I I’ve got
them in my iPads I’ve got goodness I’ve
got lists in there of things that I pray
for and you know just stuff stuff that I
can contend for I just get before the
Lord God we’ve got to see breakthrough
we got to see breakthrough there and I I
believe in it but but how many of you
have thankfulness
lists probably not as many there’s
there’s a few and it’s wonderful but but
the point is is we stay more conscious
of need than conscious of
blessing and when I stay more conscious
of need than I am conscious of blessing
I will tend to pray out of a hole
instead of from Heavenly places I will
St I’ll tend to pray more out of a place
desperation is not bad so I I I don’t
have the best language so give me a
little Grace with this but I will tend
to pray out of a place of desperation
instead of a place of
authority thankfulness thankfulness is
what HS that take a look at me with h 1
Timothy Chapter 5 excuse me chapter
4 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 1 we’re
going to read five
verses verse one now the spirit
expressly says that in latter times some
will depart from the
faith giving heed to deceiving spirits
and doctrines of demons speaking lies in
hypocrisy having their own conscience
seared with a hot iron forbidding to
marry commanding to abstain from foods
which God created to be received with
thank Thanksgiving by those who believe
and know the
truth
um
look at this again verses 1 and two
gives us
warning I don’t know how your Bible
reading goes I I just want to encourage
you don’t skip over the hard
stuff it’s it’s so vital here’s the
difference there’s meat and milk of the
word are you with me in that analogy
there’s meat of the word there’s the
milk milk Comforts meat provokes change
meat is called in Hebrews the word of
righteousness so it is the word that
equips enables and provokes it cuts to
about change and we all want to be
comforted but we’ve also be got to be
changed through the reading of word the
embracing of what God has said and
sometimes it’s just it’s meditating on
receiving dwelling slowing down in the
hard places he who gains his life will
lose it but he who loses his life for my
sake will gain it slow down in those
passages because it needs to cut deep
it’s got to cut deep if it doesn’t cut
if it if it doesn’t bring pain it’s not
it’s not the word of righteousness that
brings change there’s got to be that
that point where you go oh it’s
necessary it it’s let me illustrate this
way there are people who have certain
kinds of uh afflictions difficulties in
their body and perhaps you go to a
doctor and the doctor says uh man you
have no feeling your foot he says no so
takes a sock and shoe off and he takes a
needle and he’ll just prick the bottom
of the foot and there’s no pain see it’s
not a good sign to not feel pain it’s
not positive it’s actually actually it’s
a sign of a problem is when is when
something should hurt and it doesn’t you
don’t ever want to read through this
stuff and go oh yeah all is well not a
good sign not a good sign you want that
thing to prick you want to
go that hurts so good but it’s it’s it
it’s that it’s that word that makes you
know you’re
alive
so he talks about those who fall away
from the faith interestingly verse three
says forbidding to marry commanding to
obstain from foods which God created to
receive with thanks Thanksgiving let me
just stop there this is kind of a a a
weird deal Paul’s warning Timothy and
the group that he leads he’s warning
them he said listen um we know people’s
hearts going to grow cold they’re going
to be come deceived by demons this all
this Junk’s going to happen and out of
that group is going to come a list of
rules non-biblical rules now remember
the Bible does give us commands and
don’t ignore them just because you live
under
Grace Grace doesn’t give you a pass to
skip the rules Grace gives you the power
to do the
[Applause]
rules so here’s a list of rules that’s
created out of this deceptive movement
and what is it they are rules that make
you more pleasing to God
that’s what they say so in other words
you’re going to obtain favor if you do
this if you don’t marry you don’t eat
these certain foods you do this this and
this You observe this particular day in
Romans he he expands the list says you
you follow this day instead of this day
you eat this instead of this you drink
this instead of this these list of rules
if you do everything just right then
you’ll have favor with god what happened
to Adam and Eve the serpent crawled up
to him and said if you partake of this
fruit you’ll be like god’ they already
were
yeah the enemy tried to get them to
obtain through Works what they already
had by
Grace which they already had by Design
so Shifting the focus from what God has
done for me that now enables me to be to
live freely for him the focus now shifts
to what I must do to somehow apprehend
and gain God’s favor the focus shifts
and whenever whenever that happens it
becomes a flesh empowered movement and
that was the deception of this
movement yes amen verse four I I didn’t
plan this but having gone hunting this
last week is just the perfect verse to
read for every creature of God is good I
believe that right next to the potatoes
I
I’m I I went on an Outreach with my boys
this week
we reached out and touched the
[Applause]
heart harvested protein to sustain a
Revival is what it is all right it’s
enough every creature of God is good for
nothing is to be refused if it is
received with Thanksgiving for it is
Sanctified by the word of God In Prayer
this is amazing here’s what he says
nothing is to be refused what’s the
point is this not something you bought
at the
store what’s the implication what Paul
had to deal with with a group of people
is they would be invited to somebody
else’s home and they would hear they
were being served a food that was either
unclean pork or whatever or it was
actually food that was offered to an
idol and and here he’s giving him
instruction don’t
refuse anything that you would determine
is unclean why because that which is
used to be against you becomes
Sanctified by your own thankfulness your
thankfulness takes the sting out of what
the enemy attempt to destroy you and is
now used for your benefit because it is
Sanctified with prayer in the word of
God Sanctified Sanctified is an
interesting word because it means
separate separate from sin separate from
Darkness
separated to God but it doesn’t stop
there it actually implies that when I am
made holy when I as I am as I am
separated from my own lifestyle to to
the Lord it means it implies I actually
become like the one I am separated too
wow we should know this just in the
natural husbands and wives have been
married a long time they start thinking
alike they start acting alike I mean
there’s there’s just this this this time
of just being together where they they
change because they’ve been separated
from everyone else unto this person and
they actually in many ways pick up some
of their characteristics and Natures
well this is even more profound in our
relationship with Christ because we are
separated from a dark World system that
is self- serving unto the Lord we
actually in the relationship become like
the one we’re separated
to now follow that
thought when you are offered something
in this case it was food that would
contaminate you with
thankfulness it enables the word of God
In Prayer to sanctify that which was
released against you and now BEC
something that is for
you
um thankfulness takes the
sting out of something sent your way to
harm
you oh goodness I am almost out of time
I’m going to go over a couple minutes
because we can afford it on this service
but just a couple
minutes I take it thank you I receive
it
thankfulness I had a a friend
acquaintance
in dialogue with this last summer was
writing a
book at least part of the book against
me and against
us and uh so I wrote him and I told him
I welcome the
book I welcome it not because I think it
will add to the health of the body of
Christ but because what I want in life
is on the other side of facing
difficulty well
navigating betrayal or criticism you
know you can’t be trusted with praise if
you don’t trust him with
criticism you can’t TR you can’t be
trusted with gain if you don’t trust him
in
loss you can’t be trusted with loyal
friends if you don’t trust him in
betrayal and so while I don’t think any
of these things are designed of the Lord
I’m going to embrace them and learn how
to navigate life through those
challenging situations why because of
the prayers I’ve prayed I’ve prayed the
same scary prayers you’ve prayed God I
want to see everyone that we come into
contact with healed I want to see
everybody saved in our city God we want
to see Nations discipled these are huge
prayers but they are not released upon
careless people because careless people
become preoccupied with themselves in
the midst of the glory being manifest
the glory being poured out and so
difficulties come our way what is it
it’s just simply an O opportunity to
learn how to monitor my heart to give
thanks in all things rejoice in all
things pray in every situation absolute
dependency on him why this is what we
were born for and what I want is on the
other end of adverse winds and I’ve got
to learn how to use my sail and the
rudder if you will to attack until I can
make the advancements necessary to get
me to where I want to
go so I I I told him I said I I don’t
welcome it cuz I I think it’ll help us
but I do welcome it you know he wrote
back very kindly ended up a long long
dialogue that isn’t the point of the
discussion today except that he he
openly openly repented and and changed
that particular part of his
book and uh it’s not up for discuss it’s
not necessary for today but the the
point is is being thankful for
things that you think the enemy sent you
away it doesn’t mean I’m thankful for
the book I am thankful for the
opportunity to
grow I’m thankful that if I learn to
navigate this right he can trust me with
more I don’t like it it’s not something
I’d volunteer for but I gave up my
rights when I said
yes when I said the big yes I gave up my
right to to bargain for what kind of
circumstances I’m willing to
face and thankfulness is like man it’s
like the number one virtue that changes
a person’s life and dare I say the
entire nature of a
city I think thankfulness can change the
nature of a family
line yeah yeah amen all right Happy
Thanksgiving want you stand
up
I do wish it was something it could be
imparted through prayer though and I I
think I’d walk all through town just
going receive
receive
receive he said I enter his gates with
Thanksgiving in my heart courts with
praise a thankful heart remains aware of
his
presence thankful heart brings
breakthrough refines the focus of
prayer I I you know to be honest I feel
like
I’m I live pretty
thankful almost all the time except when
I’m
flying that’s just a joke I’m very
thankful sitting in the air at 40,000 ft
gr I’m just sitting up here really high
off the ground I’m thankful this plane
is working
yes I better
stop
thankful but I I can feel it in my heart
the
need for the always
you know when he says always most of the
time doesn’t cut
it
good can you imagine him saying Rejoice
always you know just try just if if you
get most of the time you and I both know
that’s
progress so father I do pray for just a
heightened
awareness of the privilege to live in
the virtue of
thankfulness I thank you God that you’ve
already impacted our City Church in our
city with your presence your purpose
your will but I ask even more this week
through thankful hearts in Jesus name
