Several years ago someone whom I loved very much went through a confusing time. I prayed and prayed, but soon became angry at the slow progress the individual was making. Suddenly, the presence of the Lord descended into my spirit and my eyes were opened. God was working, but because of my anger, I couldn't perceive the working of God. This is why we must remain thankful.
Thanksgiving is the language of faith.
The moment we spend time thanking the Lord, we begin to see more clearly what He is actually doing. As a result, God gave them over to a depraved mind. Theirs is a world in darkness. This is a spirit that has penetrated many throughout the body of Christ. Gossip is so prevalent in the church today it has been elevated to the status of a church tradition.
