THANKFULNESS immediately breaks that.

I am not married yet… but I am thankful for Gods process that will make me more like him and give him glory!

**You will yield to the process of God in order to become a part of his work.  You are thanking him for what you are going through, for what you need and the process behind it, because the process is making you more like him and making him look good. - i.e. glorifying God. 

 - 1 THANKS FOR NOTHING… Luke 9:16 15K mouths to feed!

And Jesus took the loaves and the fishes; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the 

fragments that remain, that nothing be lost 

 - 2 THANKS FOR DEAD THINGS

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus 

lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me 

 - 3 THANKS A MILLION 

In his lifetime, David never lost a battle. He was consistently victorious because the supernatural was always at work in his favor. David always intentionally gave thanks to God. David was constantly in the sanctuary… but most of the times it was for thanksgiving and not prayer!

• 4 THANKSGIVING REFILLS AND REFUELS 

PETER AND JOHN ARE FLOGGED BY THE PHARISEES AND THEY GIVE THANKS THAT THERE WERE COUNTED WORTHY….

• when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is...And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS. Acts 4:24,31

5  - Thanksgiving causes the supernatural to show up. 

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands 

were loosed (Acts 16:25, 26). 

6 The ultimate THANKSGIVING

Luke 22:14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”

17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

Thanks GK 2168 euxaristéō (from 2095 /eú, "good" and 5485/xaris, "grace") – properly, acknowledging that "God's grace works well," i.e. for our eternal gain and His glory; to give thanks – literally, "thankful for God's good grace.”

Grace is His Process - its best for us and makes him look good. Glorifies him.
