Activate Surplus | Pastor Greg Mohr

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of gratitude in our spiritual lives. The central theme revolves around 1 Thessalonians 5:18, which instructs us to 'give thanks in everything.' We're challenged to shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, recognizing that complaining opens the door to demonic influence. The message draws a fascinating parallel between Adam and Eve's temptation and our own struggles with dissatisfaction. Just as they were tempted by focusing on the one thing they couldn't have, we too can fall into the trap of fixating on our perceived deficits. This insight invites us to examine our own hearts and attitudes, encouraging us to cultivate a spirit of thankfulness regardless of our circumstances. As we embrace this perspective, we position ourselves to experience God's presence more fully and to move into the spaces He has prepared for us.
