Deep thinking Great Thanksgiving Sunday

<p>A beautiful Sunday to you in the name of Jesus. All this week we’ve been talking about “Deep Thinking, Great Thanksgiving”. The deeper you think the easier and the better your thanksgiving will be. And like we said yesterday thanksgiving is good for you; it’s not for God’s benefit it’s good for you. It opens your heart it opens your mind, it allows the forces of grace, the forces of life, the forces of change to flow out if your life and change your life.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Today we’ll be read from Philippians 1:3(NLT) and (NKJV).</p> <p><br></p> <p>3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. (NLT)</p> <p><br></p> <p>3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, (NKJV)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Notice the connection between thinking and thanking in the bible verse. The better you think the easier you thank, that is the direct connection. We also see that the better we remember things, the easier and the better it is to give thanks.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sometimes when we’ve gone through the challenges of life, we forget all about what God has done and all He’s doing for us. It’s important we take advantage of our memory and use it in the face of life’s challenges. Why?&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>There is a direct connection between Thanksgiving and thinking.</p> <p><br></p> <p>If we forget the things God has done for us, then we forget His grace, His power and His ability in our lives. Sometimes it is possible for us to forget, but that’s why the Holy Spirit is there to help us remember. It is interesting that one of the assignments Jesus says the Holy Spirit performs in our lives is to remind us of things.</p> <p><br></p> <p>John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>It’s not only the things He has said that the Spirit reminds us of, He also reminds us of the things he has done.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Why does He want to help you remember things?&nbsp
