faced an overwhelming Army in 2 Chronicles 20 verses 20 to 22 he did something extraordinary he appointed singers to praise the Lord saying praise the Lord for his Mercy endures forever and God caused confusion among the enemy this act of gratitude in the midst of battle unleashed the power of God to bring Victory my friends gratitude shifts the atmosphere of spiritual warfare it turns our Focus From the enemy's threats to God's faithfulness when the enemy Whispers lies of fear and discouragement gratitude declares the truth of God's promises it reminds us that no weapon formed against

God into our lives it creates a Sacred Space where God's glory can manifest in ways that transform us gratitude positions us to receive more than we could ever ask or imagine when Jesus stood before lazarus's tomb in John 11 ver 41 he thanked the father mother before commanding Lazarus to rise his act of Thanksgiving preceded the miraculous demonstrating that gratitude has the power to call forth life where death once reigned my friends gratitude is the bridge between our prayers and God's answers it says Lord I trust you to do what only you can do the
