The Power of Thanksgiving!

The Power of Thanksgiving!
Give Thanks to the Lord for He is Good....
Thanksgiving is the motivation that brings each of us into the most intimate fellowship and relationship with the Living God who Loves YOU.
Thanksgiving was the original "Feast of Tabernacles" for America. It was America's First Fruits Celebration of their first crops.
Thanks is a grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, especially to God. Gratefulness and the demonstrated acknowledgement are part of the power of Thanksgiving. The expression of thanks produces power. Thanks and praise go hand in hand. Our God inhabits the praises of His people! Thanksgiving is a public prophetic celebration in acknowledgment of God's divine favor and kindness
.
Thanksgiving is a day set apart for giving thanks to God. God has a Divine Order and principles of which He has established on the earth.
It is good to be a people of Great Thanksgiving and it is an acceptable and wonderful offering to the Lord.
One of my favorite scriptures showing us the power of Thanksgiving is from Luke 17. Ten lepers were all healed. One returned, gave thanks and worshiped the One who healed him. The Lord said to that one, "You are now made whole"!
From Healing to Wholeness! A thankful heart opened the way to the GREATER! That is the power of Thanksgiving!
With Great Thanksgiving and Joy

Reception for Chad Heil and Elizabeth McElroy
|
|
|
Dear Beloved Kingdom Rain Family,
We are overwhelmed in the goodness of God in celebrating
the coming union of Covenant Marriage of our daughter,
Miss Elizabeth McElroy to Mr. Chad Heil.
Chad and Elizabeth chose a beautiful venue for their
wedding on Saturday, December 5. This venue has limited seating
and capacity; therefore, the invitation list to the wedding is also limited.
It is in our hearts for All to celebrate with us in great thanksgiving
this beautiful gift of marriage. Thus, we will have a reception with our Kingdom Rain Family on Sunday, December 13th at 4:30 PM.
This will be a time to share in praise and worship together with the
Heil's as well as release blessings and inspired prophecy by
the Holy Spirit. We will move into our Sunday dinner and worship
at our normal time of 5:30 PM.
With all our love,
Rick and Mary Beth McElroy

The Festival of Lights: Hanukkah (Chanukah)
By: Celebration: The Book Of Jewish Festivals
Put together by Linda Hardacre
Beginning at Sundown December 6, 2015
Ending at Sundown December 14, 2015
Dear Kingdom Rain, I would like to share with you the whole story of how "The Festival of Lights" HANUKKAH came about. There was more than one incident that led up to the MIRACLE, and I didn't know which one to tell you so I'm including them all as an attachment. If you would read one or two sections a night up to when Hanukkah begins you will then understand the MIRACLE that happened to cause this wonderful celebration. Enjoy!
Blessings, Linda Hardacre
The Festival of Lights: Hanukkah (Chanukah)
Hanukkah which was Romanized as the Festival of Lights, is at once the best known and least known to the Jewish holidays. The customs of Chanukah, such as lighting the menorah, playing dreidel, eating potato latkes, and giving and getting Chanukah gelt (money) and gifts are familiar to all its celebrants. The story behind the holiday, of how the menorah in the Holy Temple stayed lit for eight days with very little oil, is recounted each year as we light the Chanukah candles.
The events that led up to this miracle, however, as well as the historical setting of Hanukkah (Chanukah), are often forgotten.
The Story Behind Hanukkah (Chanukah)
The story of Hanukkah (Chanukah) actually begins in year 336 B.C. when Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire, which included Judea (modern-day Israel).
The Jews' relationship with Alexander was long and fruitful. He sponsored many sacrifices in the Temple. Alexander promised the Jews that his empire would not interfere with their religious practices both in Judea and in the Diaspora which is the area outside Palestine settled by Jews, and he exempted the Jews from the royal tribute during the Sabbatical year. The Jews were also invited to participate in the Greek army, which shows that their loyalties were not suspect.
Alexander requested, as was the custom, that his statue be placed on the Temple mount as a symbol of Jewish loyalty to the Empire. The Jews, with their strong aversion to graven images, demurred but offered instead to name all their first-born male children Alexander.
There is so much more history about "What Is the Festival of Lights?".

How's Your Relationship With the Spirit?
By: Joyce Meyer
The Holy Spirit is speaking to you, but you must learn to recognize His voice.
As born-again believers in Jesus Christ, we serve a triune God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Genesis 1:26, God says, "Let us make man in our image." This verse reveals God as the Trinity, and we need to worship and have relationship with each person of the Godhead.
It seems more common to hear people talk about the Father and Jesus, but the Holy Spirit does not get enough of our attention. It is important to understand that He is a person who has a personality, a will, knowledge, a mind, and He thinks and knows things. For example, I Corinthians 2:11 tells us that "no one knows the things of God, except the Spirit."
In John 16:7, we learn some of the facets of His personality and how we need Him to work in our lives. In this verse, Jesus says: "For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you."
