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.

still be in their

[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
