A Lifestyle of Thanksgiving.

Faith is God's prescribed way for the just to live, it is Gods prescription for the righteous.
Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is
written, The just shall live by faith. There is no other way for the just to live other than by
faith. I have always said that faith is not just what we use to get something from God,
unfortunately that is how many believers sees faith or use faith. The truth is that you are
always exercising faith, faith in the problem, or faith in the circumstances.
*The operations of the law of faith.
*nothing weakens faith like complaining and grumbling.
*Thanksgiving strengthen faith.
In fact someone described unbelief as faith in reverse.
To also say that the just shall live by Praise and Thanksgiving will not be out of place. Praise
and Thanksgiving must become our lifestyle.
Just as faith is God's prescription for the just, so also is Praise and thanksgiving.
Introduction:- A Lifestyle of thanksgiving is essential(extremely important) to the faith life.
You cannot successfully be in faith outside/without a lifestyle of Thanksgiving. You cannot
separate the two.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe
that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
When you believe that you receive, the most natural thing to do is to give thanks. That's why
thanksgiving is very essential to the faith life.
Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Romans 4:20 He staggered not at the
promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Colossians 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught,
abounding therein with thanksgiving. If you are not full of Praise and thanksgiving, you are
not in faith.
The word Abound means: to be full to overflowing, to be wealthy, to be highly productive.

Faith works best in an atmosphere of Praise, an atmosphere of thanksgiving. Faith thrives in

an atmosphere of Praise.

Thankfulness is a powerful force that works with our faith (our trust in God). When we live
by being thankful, it helps our faith to be strong so that we can receive more blessings from
the Lord. Romans 4:20; Luke 17:17; Jeremiah 30:19
