START WITH THANKS

What this episode covers

Psalm 118:24 (KJV) "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Pride is the lie you believe about yourself, and the greatest form of pride on Earth is a person who wakes up and does not pray. Every morning when you wake up, you enter into a day that belongs to God. It is HIS day! He owns it, and everything He owns, He protects. God graciously allows you to enter His day and function in it as though it were your own. That is something to rejoice about! From the moment your eyes open, your mouth should also open in a prayer of thanksgiving to God. The Word of God encourages us to bless the Lord at all times and not to forget all his benefits. Sleep is a benefit. Protection as you sleep is a benefit. Waking up is a benefit. Having the strength to turn over, sit up, or rise up are all benefits. There is so much to be grateful for right from the very start of your day. From today onwards, make it your practice to give thanks to God the moment you wake up. As you develop this attitude of gratitude, you will become more aware of the blessings in your life. God will reciprocate your praise and thanksgiving with His own joy, and His joy will create a fortified place for you in each day. You will go out and come in under His divine protection, strength, and enablement. PROPHETIC DECLARATION I am so thankful that I have entered into God's day, where I am fortified, strengthened, and defended. No demon can touch me in this day. I am heavily guarded, heavily protected, God protected, in Jesus' mighty name!
