“This month is the month that many include and will speak of thankfulness..Amen..but honestly aren’t we and shouldn’t we be thankful every month?..and more than that I think for us all that we should really begin to be thankful and to redirect our minds to being thankful and remembering all that the Lord has done especially on days as to where you may feel a little down..a little sad..ya know on them days where the enemy wants to flood you with doubt..and make you feel sorry for yourself..and take your mind back to what you were..or what you did..or what you failed at..and on and on..it is most important on them days that you take yourself to a place of thankfulness..and you start thinking of everything in your life that you have to be thankful for..Amen..and start telling the Lord all that He has done for you..and start thanking Him for all the times He has been there and showed up and showed out for you in your life..for guys we serve a great God..and its easy for us to get down and sad..and depressed..but we must truly be careful to not entertain them thoughts and those feelings..because for some this will start a pattern and this pattern will continue..so again..be careful as I say to not entertain everything that the enemy brings your way..Amen!”

“For they say it like this..your mind is like a Television set..and you control the remote..Amen..and if you don’t like whats playing on that TV..then you have the right to change the channel..Amen..so give the enemy an inch and we all know he will take a mile..he always does..Amen..but when we stop it and take ourselves and turn that channel so to speak..and start thinking good thoughts..start thanking Jesus for everything..and begin to get up and do something..start making dinner..turn your music on..and just take your attention somewhere else..other than to a place of sadness..and loneliness..Amen..for we are to guard ourselves..for the bible says to guard your heart above all else for everything flows from them..Proverbs 4:23..Amen..and we know when the enemy is there trying to get us to have a bad day..a sad day..a feel sorry for me kind of day..Amen..and when he comes you call on Jesus..Amen..and you let the Lord deal with that ole devil..Amen..for the Lord says when the enemy comes in like a flood that He will lift up a standard against him..Isaiah 59:19..Amen..for guys we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against rulers and wickedness in high places..Ephesians 6:12-13..so we put on the armor of God..and we protect ourselves..and we don’t let the enemy steal away anything from us and or our day that God our Father has made and given to us to enjoy..Amen..so be thankful always..and keep your heart and your mind in a state of thankfulness..for it is a great place to live your life..when you consider your blessings..and you take thought of them..Amen..its not so easy to be distracted by that ole evil one..and his evil scheme or plans that he may have..so again help yourself by helping yourself..by staying thankful..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
