Thankfulness Focuses Your Heart Again by Pastor Brent Lokker

Suzanne and I are so grateful to be part of the family of God on the earth today and to run with passion along side of all of you as we gaze on the beaming face of Jesus who leads us in a triumphal procession:
 
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place. 
(2 Corinthians 2:14)
 
Continue to be the real you—the one who Jesus inhabited and lives through to bring His light and tangible hope wherever you go.  Remember that even though we face challenges in this life, we possess an unshakable Kingdom!
 
Choosing to be thankful is a great way to focus your heart back onto what is true and to find courage again. I encourage you to say out loud this thanksgiving declaration we spoke out together last Saturday night:
 
  • We thank you our good, good Father in heaven for choosing us to be your very own dearly loved children!
  • We thank you our precious Savior, Jesus, for paying a price for our freedom that we could not pay!
  • We thank you wonderful Holy Spirit for making your home in us and giving us comfort as well as dunamis power for living a supernatural life!
  • Thank you for blessing the United States of America to be all that you have intended for her to be!
  • Thank you that light is winning over darkness and love is winning over hate!
  • Thank you that you are bringing revival and reformation to the earth!
  • Thank you that your Kingdom is coming because heaven is invading earth!
  • Thank you for the unity that is ours in Christ!
  • Thank you for continually blessing us with your sweet, sweet presence!
  • Thank you that we are alive for such a time as this!!!
 
 HEALING IS BREAKING OUT!
I also want to encourage you with how much the healing power of God has been increasing in recent weeks. Matthew and Karis Guillot, who brilliantly lead our healing ministry teams, experienced these miracles in their prayer line just this past Saturday. There were many others healed last Saturday as well (physically as well as emotional healing) beyond these testimonies:
 
  • A woman with right shoulder pain. When we first prayed for her shoulder nothing happened. Then we discovered that she was bearing too much responsibility for someone else. She broke agreement and partnership with taking on someone else's responsibility. We prayed for the shoulder again and the pain went 100% away!
 
  • A woman with a hearing aid. We prayed for her ear and at first nothing happened. There was some inner healing and belief systems that we worked through. We prayed for the ear again. She took her hearing aid off and from a distance, could hear me whispering to her even with all the background noise. She didn't need to wear her hearing aid anymore! 
 
  • A woman with a blocked ear--couldn't hear very well. We discovered that she had a belief that she couldn't hear very well from God. So she broke agreement from believing the lie. Immediately, she said she felt a pop in her ear and she could hear normally again! 
 
  • A woman had shoulder pain because her top rib would pop out. It was sore before prayer. After prayer, 100% of the soreness left! 
 
  • A woman was wearing a brace on her wrist due to carpal tunnel. Prayed for her 3 times. The pain started as an 8, and went down to a 0 by the time we were done praying! 
 
  • A woman had a headache, a dull ache. She was willing to grin and bear it calling it a "no big deal" headache. When we got her to see that she didn't have to live with pain, she had to renounce her agreement that the headache could stay. We had to pray 3 times because she was attached to having the pain. But by the time we were done praying, all the headache pain was 100% gone! 
 
Thank you, Jesus!!! You are the same yesterday, today and forever!
 
Declaring a peaceful and joyful Thanksgiving to each one of you.
