Holy Thanksgiving Declarations You Can Proclaim Every Day

Thanksgiving (eucharisteo, from which we get the word Eucharist) means to be aware of our blessings and be filled with gratitude. Thanksgiving opens the treasure vaults of the kingdom.

As I write this article, another story about in John 11:41-43 about Jesus "lifting up His eyes" came to mind.

At the tomb of His dear friend Lazarus, Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have already heard me" (see John 11:42).

Imagine this kind of assurance! Jesus didn't need to beg or intercede. A command to the dead was all that was needed: "Lazarus, come forth" (John 11:43b, NKJV).

We see that the Father hears us before we pray (John 17:1-2).

Thanksgiving is a holy declaration of what we see when we lift up our eyes. Let the fruit of our lips give thanks as we confess our Eucharist blessings out loud together:

— I am a brand-new creation in Christ.
