Changing Your World Podcast with Creflo Dollar

We are at war with Satan, and the stakes are high. He and his army of demons are after our souls, our minds, and our emotions. His plan involves trapping us in the world’s way of thinking; however, we render him powerless by renewing our minds to conform to God’s way of thinking instead. In this fight we can use precision as a weapon; specifically, we are to renew our minds according to the teachings of grace, not according to the Law of Moses. What was true under the law is not necessarily true anymore under grace; we need a solid understanding of this if we are to escape the devil’s lies. Therefore, it is essential to focus on the proper covenant if we want successful lives. We win by giving our attention to the finished works of Jesus instead of our own performance.

The state of our hearts matters greatly to God. It is certainly important to do the morally right things that please Him; however, He wants even more for us to have thankful hearts. Outward obedience just for appearance does not matter if we are not grateful. Genuinely giving thanks with the proper attitude has a way of working itself outward for others to see. Giving thanks in our circumstances is the best thing for us because it keeps us in the right frame of mind and is a powerful weapon to protect us emotionally and spiritually from situations. Thankfulness is how we keep the world’s adversity and bad things around us from getting inside us. Turning our attention to good things aligns our perspective with God’s instead of the enemy’s and forces out negative emotions trying to enter our souls. Maintaining our gratitude brings an anointing from God that removes burdens, destroys yokes, and changes our way of thinking for the better.

Knowing how to handle our feelings is part of being emotionally mature. It is necessary not just during the holiday season, but on a daily basis as well. We all experience struggles, disappointments, and anxieties, but we do not have to let them dominate us. The ability to give thanks is a powerful tool in exerting our authority over our emotions. Doing this gives us strength, peace, and joy even in the midst of life’s challenges. We can learn much from the grateful attitudes that Job, David, Paul, and Silas displayed despite adversity. Learning how to be thankful no matter what the circumstances are gives us great power. To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org.

Regardless of whatever situation we are going through or any challenges facing us, pausing in the midst of it to give thanks helps us to keep our perspective. God gives us good things we do not deserve; there is no need for us to look very far to find something to be thankful for. Having a grateful heart is important and reminds us of everything we have been blessed with. Our attitude is a powerful choice we make; an attitude of gratitude benefits us physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and brings us into blessings. Giving thanks enriches our lives and is God’s will for us. It empowers us to accomplish what we need to do. Thankfulness has the power to change our entire outlook on life.
