- Try imagining various atmospheres within your heart during prayers: In a very cold atmosphere, my spirit will receive what kind of contents and results? What about under an atmosphere of being accused as a result of guilt? How about communion in an atmosphere of discontentment and grumbling? How about communing with the Father God who loves me under the atmosphere full of thanksgiving and praises?

- Will see: My spirit has extremely swift transformation\u2192 therefore I know: forces of darkness are removed quickly /Holy Spirit works swiftly, God already gladly accepted my thanksgiving offering\u2192 following that, God\u2019s loving kindness and perfect will continue to be revealed to me\u2192 As a result, my spirit is strengthened, and restores the authority and power bestowed by God\u2192 In my thoughts, words, deeds, God\u2019s power is manifested\u2192 at the same time when my spirit restores the perfect will and power of God, God also opens important opportunities and doors\u2026

# The testimony of the son of a pastor in Australia, Brother Nick: He was born without 4 limbs, but only the head and body\u2026When he sang \u201cJesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so\u201d at the church Sunday school when he was 6, 7 years old, his heart felt very contradicting, he did not know [what did Jesus love about him]\u2026until he was 16 years old, when he was born again and discovered the unique everlasting love and plans that God prepared for him in Jesus Christ, he started to give thanks for all the conditions that God gave him\u2026from that moment onwards, doors of evangelism opened greatly. Currently, he is travelling round the whole world, using the love of the Lord to testify, save, comfort, heal the spirits of many others\u2026

- One very serious spiritual problem of man is [not knowing that he is already in blessings], [do not know how to enjoy, do not know how to give thanks, do not know how to repay kindness]; actually, everyone lives in [millions and millions of (infinite) blessings], but our perspective is always bounded by [one small little problem], such that small matters expand to [big problems that influence our whole day and everything]; not only can we not enjoy or display the infinite blessings bestowed by God, but we also bury the blessings in non-beneficial gloom instead\u2026

4) Therefore, after believing the Lord Jesus, need to properly format for once: the [absolute reason] why I should give thanks and praise in any circumstances, then etch that content in my heart, so that it will become the [foundation of thanksgiving and praises], then can discover the reason to [give thanks and praises] in any time and place and in all things\u2026

- Thank God for revealing the mystery of the gospel of Jesus Christ to me, committing the living and active sacred word to me, so that I can enjoy all the power of the infinite Holy Spirit, sending heavenly angels and hosts to help me, so that I can drive out demons, raise the dead, heal others, nurture others, send others, and gather the people of heavenly kingdom, build churches, expand heavenly kingdom; these are the ministries which the angels cannot do but yet envy\u2026

- Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well <Mt 6:33>. The Lord will fully supply the power I need for my ministry. According to the strength provided by the Lord, just need to serve faithfully with all my heart and strength in the ministry that I am in\u2026

And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it\u2026] <1 Co 10:13>

- [Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church] <Co 1:24>, [So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God] <2 Ti 1:8>

- At anytime and anywhere, can enjoy [all the blessings God prepared for me], all the things I have met become miracles as well as blessings

- This is the blessing enjoyed by the humble ; [Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven] <Mt 5:3>, they can always enjoy [the blessings brought about by contentment]\u2192 although the [vision from heaven] has to be big, the heart to accept [little things] every day with contentment and thanksgiving, the cheerful heart to do things faithfully, serve man, is the driving force to fulfill great things

- Those who are solely contented because of the eternity, loving kindness, perfect will, completeness, never-changing ways of Jehovah, can enjoy [contented joy] in any circumstances; [The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing] <Zep 3:17>; [Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior] <Hab 3:17-18>
