One of the major keys to walking in dominion is called Thanksgiving. You have no business with God until you learn to give thanks. Read Psalm 100: 4 MSG. If “Thank You” is missing, you will not see God’s face. Thanklessness has become a plague in this end-time ~ 2 Timothy 3: 1 – 2 NKJV.
Reading: Psalm 105: 1 – 5 KJV | Psalm 34: 1 KJV
What does thanksgiving communicate?
