Daily Devotional for Thursday November 25, 2021

A most blessed Thanksgiving!

May you and your family enjoy a most blessed Thanksgiving!!!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY NOVEMBER 25, 2021

(1 Thessalonians 5:18)

***NOVEMBER FINANCIAL UPDATE: We entered November with the $55,000 required for our October ministry operations PLUS the $55,000 we require for November. Thanks to the prayers and sacrifice of many of our friends, we have covered the first $45,000 of the October shortfall leaving the final $10,000.

I AM PRAYING FOR ONE OF OUR FRIENDS WHO THE LORD HAS ENABLED TO MAKE A SPECIAL YEAR-END GIFT TO LIVEPRAYER OF $10,000 TO CLEAN-UP THE BALANCE OF OUR OCTOBER SHORTFALL!!! GOD IS SPEAKING TO SOMEONE WHO HE HAS BLESSED ABOUT THIS NEED, POSSIBLY SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN BLESSED FOR YEARS BY LIVEPRAYER AND IS BEING CALLED TO MAKE THIS SPECIAL SACRIFICE!!!

The challenge we face every November is due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we lose 4-5 days with people off work, traveling, enjoying their holiday. I am praying we can clear up the last $10,000, leaving us the final days of the month to take care of the $55,000 we require for November's ministry operations.

That is a total of $65,000 by the end of November so we can enter the final month of 2021 with all of our ministry obligations current!!! GOD IS ABLE!!!

Also, we are just 36 days from the end of the year! Taking the $65,000 we require to end November with our budget current, plus the $55,000 we will require for December's operations, that is a total of $120,000 to end the year current! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

Please be praying about a special year-end gift to Livprayer. The Bible teaches us to �give according to our ability to give.� For some that may be $10 or $20. For others it may be $50 or $100. Still others it may be $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000 or more. For many, a gift to God's work here will help on your taxes since you are either going to give the money to the government to waste, or to Liveprayer to get HIS Truth out to the masses and save souls!!!

TO GIVE A GIFT TO LIVEPRAYER, you can use your major credit card at: http://liveprayer.com/donate.cfm or you can mail your gift to: Liveprayer, 6660 46th Ave. North, St. Petersburg, FL 33709. All gifts to Liveprayer are 100% tax deductible!

***LIVE ON AFTER YOU ARE IN HEAVEN!!! By remembering God's work here at Liveprayer in your will/estate planning, you can still help me share His Truth with the masses, be here for people in their time of greatest need, and help lead the lost to faith in Jesus even after God has called you home!!! God has led many of our friends in the Liveprayer family to remember His work here in their will. Please pray about this opportunity to continue and partner with me in the Lord's work at Liveprayer, even after you are enjoying your rewards and the eternal peace of Heaven!

On this day we celebrate as Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for. I want to point out an aspect of this great verse in Paul's letter to the church at Thessalonica that is usually overlooked and almost never preached on. While we are so thankful today for all of God's blessings, this verse requires a great amount of maturity because it says "give thanks IN all circumstances!" How quickly we run over those words without ever thinking about the true meaning. In this society where we are so focused on winning, so focused on the positive, so focused on things being in a state of perfection....God tries His best to help us be realistic about this sinful world we live in.

Aside from our own sinfulness, we live in a world that is infested with sin in every nook and cranny of our existence. Jesus, trying to prepare His disciples for the reality of living in this world without Him, trying to make them understand that despite the close intimate relationship they had, told them that in this world they would have problems and things would not always be perfect. This verse tell us that every day we should "give thanks IN all circumstances."

Spiritual maturity comes in when you understand that this verse is actually telling you to give thanks not only for those things you look at as good, but also IN the difficult things that happen to you as well. That is hard for us to understand why we should be thankful IN those terrible things that happen to us along life's journey, but we have no way of knowing the mind of God, we have no way of understanding completely His plan or purpose, we just can't comprehend all of the things God does IN the situations we live through. It is hard to imagine giving thanks IN things like marriage problems, divorce, the death of a loved one, financial difficulties, health problems, strife with friends, problems in your local fellowship, difficulties on the job, and any other bad things we experience in life. Hard to imagine.

But when you realize that God is still on the throne, that He is still in control, then you by faith, have to thank Him and trust Him even IN those bad situations. He is working on your behalf and will not let you down. As painful as the experience must be, we have to thank Him because He is often perfecting us for work in the future IN what we are facing today. We give thanks out of obedience, and out of faith that God knows what He is doing IN allowing those bad things we live through in our life to occur. Remember a man named Job?

I realize that today would be a great day to just say some warm and fuzzy things to make us feel good. It is a holiday, many are with family. The Christmas season is upon us. We have so much to be thankful for. But the job God gave me was not to give you something each day to just make you feel good, but to challenge you to a closer daily walk and to help you grow spiritually. Many problems that I see each day occur because people have been given too much "feel good" talk, and not adequately prepared for the reality of this life in relationship to their life in Christ. When the storms come, they just aren't equipped to handle the onslaught.

The one thing that I will never do is hold back, compromise the Word of God, or tell you something just to make you feel good. I will tell you the truth, God's Truth right from the Bible, in an attempt to help you be prepared for living a victorious and productive life for Christ. In these last days, He needs bold, mature, fearless men and women to do the work necessary here on earth. It is no accident that you are getting these Devotionals, and no accident that you read them. God is speaking to you through these daily writings to sharpen you, prepare you, encourage you to be all He has called you to be.

I love you and care about you so much. I am so grateful for you. Your love and prayers have been an inspiration to me personally and to our people here at Liveprayer.com. We are pressing forward each day. Thank you again for standing with me, for praying, for giving, for helping us add people to our Daily Devotional list and letting others know about Liveprayer.com and the Liveprayer TV program. My thoughts and prayers are with you this day. I am truly thankful for you. For those traveling, may His mercies be with you as you go to and from your destinations. For those of you going through the fire today, remember... "give thanks IN all circumstances!"

May you and your family enjoy a most blessed Thanksgiving!!!
