Praise Be Jesus Christ

And then it says, thanks—and then we'll say thanksgiving is another tremendous weapon. Let me point out to you something very interesting about the ministry of Jesus.

In John chapter 6, when Jesus fed the 5,000, verse 11, it says,

“Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks he distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down.”

Jesus did not pray. All he did was give thanks. And giving thanks over five loaves and two fishes made them sufficient to feed 5,000 people.

And a little further on, in John 6:23, it says,

“Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks.”

What released the miracle? Giving thanks.

And then, praise. Psalm 8, verse 2, God says,

“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have ordained praise, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger.”
