12.18 Testimony – Receiving miracles through thanksgiving

I knew of a couple in Singapore who went into business which then failed. He lost all that he had. Because he needed finances to get married, he had to go back to the job market. All he had was God, his wife and a small old car that had rain-water dripping through.

But he believed in the power of thanksgiving. So together with his wife, as they drove home from church in their humble car, they would give thanks to God for all that did not exist yet.

They thanked God for financial restoration. They thanked God for a wonderful home. They thanked God for promotion at their workplace. They thanked God for a new car. They thanked God for lovely children. They thanked God for wonderful health. They thanked God for growth in their spiritual walk. They called forth every promise of God that they could find in the Bible.

As they thanked God, something happened. Their perspective of God changed. Their attitude changed to be very positive. Their faith level rose. They started walking by faith instead of circumstances. When they started walking in the realm of faith through thanksgiving, they started to experience the miracles of God.

As each year passed, the things that they had thanked God for became a reality. God restored them financially. God gave them a wonderful home miraculously. They experienced favor and promotion at their workplace. God gave them a new car. God gave them lovely children. God gave them good health. They grew spiritually.

Thanksgiving changed their lives. This is why it is God’s will for us to give thanks at all times. Circumstances change when we give thanks – but first of all, change happens inside us.
