GRATITUDE 7-19-24 VIDEO SKIT GUYS THANKS
A heart filled with gratitude will be so prominent in the days to come. It’s the prominent feeling the Spirit will bring during praise and worship. Gratitude is humility. It reaches the heart of God. It is deeper than thankfulness. A grateful heart in us opens the heavens. Prayer is supposed to be used to express our gratitude. Our gratitude is not only for what God gives, but for who He is.
Hezekiah 2 Chron 32:24 Some time later Hezekiah became deathly sick. He prayed to God and was given a reassuring sign.
25 But the sign, instead of making Hezekiah grateful, made him arrogant. This made God angry, and his anger spilled over on Judah and Jerusalem.
26 But then Hezekiah, and Jerusalem with him, repented of his arrogance, and God withdrew his anger while Hezekiah lived.
27 Hezekiah ended up very wealthy and much honored. He built treasuries for all his silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and valuables,
28 barns for the grain, new wine, and olive oil, stalls for his various breeds of cattle, and pens for his flocks.
29 He founded royal cities for himself and built up huge stocks of sheep and cattle. God saw to it that he was extravagantly rich. MSG

LUKE 7:44 He then turned to the woman and said to Simon, “While you are both equally debt free and neither of you are under any obligation, 1look at her, consider how much affection and love she bestows on me! When I arrived at your house, no water was given me for my feet; but this lady washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but since I arrived, she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet with affection!
46 You did not even anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with fragrant ointment!
47 Do you now see what 1grace means? However much out of sync with her blueprint she was and however many her distortions were, she had been perfectly freed of all! To be forgiven means that whatever your sins were, they no longer define you! They were and never can be who you really are! She arrived here earlier, purposefully prepared with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, to show how extravagantly much she loved me! He who does not understand the full extent of forgiveness, is like the man who shows only polite appreciation. MIRROR

Rom 12:3 I’m speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it’s important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him. MSG

14 Grace mixed with faith and love poured over me and into me. And all because of Jesus.
15 Here’s a word you can take to heart and depend on: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. I’m proof — Public Sinner Number One —
16 of someone who could never have made it apart from sheer mercy. And now he shows me off — evidence of his endless patience — to those who are right on the edge of trusting him forever. MSG
