Pastor Steven Furtick – Graduating in Gratitude – 3 Levels of Worship

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJqHMDdKQgw

Biblical Reference = Deuteronomy 8:7-18

For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.

Practicing Gratitude = Putting my Attitudes into Actions!

There is NOTHING natural about practicing Gratitude! We must have Grateful habits!

How do we get up from Kiddie table to Banquet Table?

Even though . . .  Thank You LORD even though . . . .

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

Even my heart is broken   IT IS WELL

We must LEARN to trust GOD for what I cannot see!  Do we ONLY thank Him for food and things I can see? At the Kiddie table we thanked Him for His PROVISION!

At the Banquet Table, we Thank Him for His PRESENCE!

Psalm 23:5  I will fear NO EVIL, for You are with me – LORD!

We can adapt to eating with enemies both personal and corporate all around me!

Jesus is at the table with me and He knows my confusion, my doubts, my fears – I am still looking to Jesus seated at this table that He has prepared for me!

We can set the table with a heart of Praise even though my enemies surround me on all sides

Whenever I have difficulties – I will Praise the LORD at ALL times – His PRAISE will be continually be on my lips. Psalm 34:1     My mouth shall show forth Thy Praise! 

I have got a seat at His Banquet TABLE in His PRESENCE!

Greater is HE that is in me than he that is in this world.  1John 4:4
