GIVING THANKS TO THE LORD

"Thanksgiving"

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882















Give us this day our daily bread, O Father in heaven, and grant that we who are filled with good things from Your open hand, may never close our hearts to the hungry, the homeless, and the poor; in the name of the Father, and of the Sone, and of the Holy Spirit.
- from the abbey of New Clairvaux, Viña, California


Jesus Storm wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving 2008.

GOD'S UNCHANGING HAND

Keep holding onto God’s unchanging hand. Don’t let anything get you down, and keep your head to the sky. There is someone always watching over you, but you have to take out the Word and read it to stay strong. When you get to Heaven, you’re going to have a good time. That’s why I myself keep holding on to God’s unchanging hand.

Tell Satan, “Get thee behind me!” because you have a power stronger than his, and his name is Jesus . Praise the Lord! Give your heart to Jesus. He can fix anything you are going though, so just call on Him. Whatever your problem is Jesus can fix it. That is a blessing, so just keep on holding onto God’s unchanging hand .

Ask God to stay with you . If you want to walk right, the Lord will give you the key to His house. Make yourself at home with Jesus as long as you want. He will be their for both me and you, but we have to put our trust in Him. The Lord will make everything all right. Just keep Him first…by holding on to His unchanging hand.

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

Lord, I thank You for your word, and I declare right now that it is the final authority in my life. I believe I can change my life though the power You have made available to me. Through your word, Lord, I ask you to reveal all Truth to me as I seek You. I know that you are perfecting everything that concerns me. I thank You in advance for the great life You have planned for me. It is more than I could ask, think, or imagine.

From this day forward, I will choose the words carefully I speak, hear, and see. I propose in my heart to speak Your word daily. Thank you for Your word. I believe it will change my life and enable me to fulfill my purpose.

I declare these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.

THE GLORY OF THE LORD

Get on your knees, and praise the glory of the Lord. The Lord has the all the glory and all the power. The Lord will give you the glory if you just give Him the chance.

If you don’t believe it, know that the time to get to know the Lord is now because His glory is so great. But today, in 2008, it is the devil who wants you to think that he is in control. But it is God that has all glory and power and gives you the glory to share. So, keep praising Him every chance you can.

Come into the House of the Lord, praise Him, and receive His glory. Amen!

JESUS IS YOUR FRIEND

Jesus will take care of you when your friends let you down . There have been times in my life when things weren’t going right. However, the Lord stepped in and made a way. That is why Jesus is my friend.

I can call on Jesus anytime. I ask Him to send is Holy Spirit down on me everyday so that I can continue to keep Jesus as my friend. There is no one else than Jesus to confess my sins to. It isn’t what I say to Jesus as long as I continue to ask Him to take control over my life. I always give God thanks for everything I do and say.

When your day is finished, make sure you get down on your knees to give God glory for that day. That is why you should give Jesus all the praise… because he your friend, too. Jesus is worthy to be praised.

When Jesus cracks the sky, all those who are dead will rise up to see the King. The trumpet will sound. Lift up your hands and give God all glory . There is no friend like Jesus

God sees everything that we go through so just call on Him when things get rough. He will fix it; just believe in Jesus Ask god to lead you each and every day. Read the word that Jesus has written so you can have a good time with Him in Heaven. Jesus is your friend! God cares for you. Amen!

LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED

Remember that Jesus is the way to go. When your heart is troubled, get down on your knees and pray. Ask God to take the problems out of your heart.

My heart was troubled when I lost my job. I has been working at a hotel for seven years. A new company took over, and they said, "We have to let you go." I broke down. I was traumatized, and I didn’t know what to do. Then I just kept praying and asking God what I should do. I kept on going out looking for jobs. Finally, God came to me and said, "My child, let not your heart be troubled. For there is something I have in store for you. So whatever problems you are going through, remember God is there. Let not your heart be troubled."

Then God opened the door for me! I got a job at a care center. I know that my prayers were answered. And that’s when my troubles were relieved. When things gets rough for you, remember John’s words: “Let not you heart be troubled,” and just keep on praying:

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14, 1

ONE MORE DAY

Thank you, Lord, for waking me up every morning so I can get down on my knees to give you praise. I thank you for the sunshine and for the air that I breathe everyday. Thank you for giving your life so that I can live.

Thank you for keeping me safe when I was going through a rough time. It was the time when you kept your angel over me…when I lost my job. You said, “My child, hold on. This is only a test .” Never has the Lord failed me. He said, “the storm is just beginning. Just hold on, my child, because I have something good in store for you:” Thank you, Lord, for letting me know that in order to get to heaven I must be baptized.

Thank you, Lord, for one more day. For I know the next time, things will be better. So I will just keep working for Jesus, and things will get better as long I keep running towards Him. I ask God to please keep filling up my cup with the Holy Word. Each morning I thank the Lord that I am still alive. Some things I have left undone, but I won’t complain because the Lord gave me one more day.
