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 Banquet Table to Worshipping His Holy Name!

Next level is to Praise God is while eating prison food! Philippians 1:17-18

People are stirring up troubles for me!  No matter the circumstances I still stand on His Promises as it is written in my Bible!

I have my priorities and I know my purpose! – In every way Christ is preached!

The phrase we must be in our soul is   Because of . . .

Because of . . . . Because of this I WILL REJOICE!

People may mistakenly say that we are to Thank the LORD FOR ALL things

The Bible actually says to Thank the LORD IN ALL things – not for all things

I do not praise Him for the pain – I praise Him for the increase of purpose that the pain is doing in me. I have focused my attention that I am totally dependent upon Jesus!

Do we trust the COOK enough to give Praise in the kitchen! He knows how much ‘garlic’ I need. We get to the point that we TRUST whatever God serves up it is going to be GOOD!

Thank You for every ingredient in my life that will serve Your Purpose of what You are preparing in me and for me.

Stir myself up in the LORD, Oh TASTE and SEE that the LORD is GOOD!

Bless the LORD Oh my soul – Let ALL that is within me Bless His Holy Name!

Bless the LORD Oh my soul and forget NOT ALL of His Benefits!
