WE HONOR YOU TODAY, AND WE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE DONE. WE THANK YOU, YOU ARE A GOOD GOD, AND WE WILL WORSHIP YOU ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE. IN JESUS’S NAME, AMEN. YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER, AND I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU WITH THIS THOUGHT. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IN LIFE WE TRY TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN ON OUR OWN.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR OUR GOOD BREAKS, WE’RE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE, WE’RE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES, AND THAT’S ALL GOOD. BUT WHEN WE’RE STRUGGLING TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, I BELIEVE THAT THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR US, SO LET’S TAKE ANOTHER APPROACH, AND THAT APPROACH WOULD BE ALL THROUGH THE DAY, JUST UNDER YOUR BREATH, WHEN YOU’RE FEELING LIKE YOU’RE STRUGGLING, WHEN YOU’RE WONDERING WHEN YOU’RE GOING TO GET THAT GOOD BREAK, WHEN ARE YOUR PRAYERS GOING TO BE ANSWERED, IF YOU’LL JUST STOP AND SAY, “GOD, I RECEIVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE FOR ME.
GOD, YOU’VE GOT GOOD THINGS STORED UP FOR ME TODAY, AND I AM NOT GOING TO STRUGGLE, AND I’M NOT GOING TO WORRY, BUT I’M JUST GOING TO BE IN A RECEIVING MODE.” WHEN YOU GO INTO A MEETING, “THANK YOU, FATHER. I RECEIVE EVERYTHING I NEED FOR THIS MEETING.” WHEN YOU GO IN TO SEE YOUR FAMILY AFTER A LONG DAY’S WORK, TAKE ONE DEEP BREATH AND SAY, “GOD, THANK YOU I’M RECEIVING EVERYTHING I NEED TO BE A GOOD HUSBAND, A GOOD WIFE, A GOOD MOTHER.
THANK YOU, FATHER, THAT I DON’T HAVE TO STRUGGLE, BUT I’M JUST RECEIVING.” YOU SEE, THE BIBLE SAYS NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FOR THOSE WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY. GOD’S NOT WITHHOLDING YOUR ANSWERS. GOD’S NOT WITHHOLDING THOSE GOOD BREAKS. HE’S NOT HOLDING ON TO THOSE PRAYERS, WAITING FOR YOU TO GET IT RIGHT. IF YOU SEE IT OR YOU DON’T SEE IT, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE RECEIVING WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU.
