Psalm 9:1-2: "I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds”

It says give thanks with your heart, NOT YOUR HEAD OR MIND.

**This verse is in the context of Davids enemies coming to get him.

??? What does he do he gives thanks and pulls the video of all the times God came through in the past!

Recount/play the video

  -  I should have died or been paralyzed when I broke my neck

  -  I was unjustly fired from a job and it opened the door to a better job 3 minutes from college

  -  I was asked to prophecy over 70 college students

How many people talk about having an out of body experience… thats easy - give thanks. Your body your mind does not want to give thanks - IT DOESN’T WANT TO BELIVE GOD WILL DO SOMETHING AMAZING. It has to come from your spirit… your heart. 

When did the children of Israel make the golden calf? Waiting on Moses… they were unable to step out of the flesh and into the spirit… so they acted out on their own. 

Abraham and Sarah - sleep with Hagar…= Ishmael 

King Saul waiting for the Prophet Samuel… makes a sacrifice waiting and God rejects him.

UNLIKE IN JOHN 6 - there are over 10K people hungry. The disciples want to send them away…

The disciples… learned to think…”you never know”

The storm…

The 2 fish and five loaves John 6:1-15 Jesus asks Phillip where we could get food. Because Phillip was from Bethesda the nearest town… he wanted to make a point of human wisdom, critical thinking and problem solving with simple trust in God and his power.
