-Once we become thankful for everything, even problems evaporate:.Psalms 69:30. How's this work?

This is true:.if things seem to be 'taking you away' from joy in life, one isn't thankful. The ancient Israelites were very unthankful for the good that was done:.Judges 8:34,35. Today it's much the same.

Changing to a mind of being thankful causes negatives to cease and reverse. That's because being grateful.aligns one with this higher consciousness quality of the Infinite Intelligence and thereby draws power from this Everliving Energy Field of Supreme Intelligence into your life, thus, washing you, cleaning you up as the now unnecessary physical form of baptism used to signify:.1Corinthians 6:11; Hebrews 10:22; Revelation 1:5.

And here we realize that Creator-God is over all things good.

Everything good is of the oneness, that is, this oneness is below the atom, below and in the invisible, the invisible from where all life comes and from which all is maintained. Everything has a purpose and all towards higher consciousness. Even the evil, by its contrast with that which is good, points toward a better consciousness, a better way for people to focus upon, because having it in one's consciousness brings it into reality. See the move The Grand Self on this and see also Bob Proctor.

What have we got to be thankful for? Well, you have an annual free trip around the Sun. And, every year in northern climates you get a free large size outdoor refrigerator/freezer, no electricity necessary. Every year you get free flowers in the spring and free amazing colored 'paintings' in the fall when the tree leaves change color. You get free food from the Sun. Hey! What more do you want? Ha ha! Free opposite sex? noun or verb or both? Find someone you can like.

One fellow I know of who has cerebral palsy and walked and spoke so poorly, so much so that, when he spoke, few could make out what he was saying, began to apply.1Thessalonians 5:18. He now can speak clearly enough and walk properly enough to be an effective member of society and he continues to improve.

Being thankful for the negatives causes them to begin to evaporate because it destroys negative frequencies bound to you. Because all is frequencies, one can replace the ones not wanted with ones wanted. The darkness of illness can't be where the high consciousness of light is.

If you have a greed problem, poverty problem, sex problem, anger problem or what have you? Stop wrestling with your problem:.Matthew 11:29,30. Be thankful for it. Say "God, thank you that I'm a sex pervert. Somehow I know you are using all this to turn it to good for me and in some way for the good of others:.Romans 8:28. The fact you have thankful attention on your weaknesses causes them to dissipate. Thankfulness puts you in a different mind toward others and things that seem like serious problems at the time.

Sound crazy huh! But know this, the Creator can remove not one, but every single problem you may have in a second of time.(actually no time, as He dwells in eternity; time is only for the human experience); but He does not, because of concern for our character growth. It's up to us. Creator doesn't override anyone. So try being thankful for them and see what happens!.Colossians 3:15; John 3:17.

A nice story on it:
The story is told of a king in Africa who had a close friend with whom he grew up. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life.(positive or negative).and remarking "This is good!"

One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation, the friend remarked as usual "This is good!"

To which the king replied "No, this is not good!" and proceeded to send his friend to jail.

About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took him to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to it. 

As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone who was less than whole. So untying the king, they sent him on his way.

As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend.

"You were right" he said "it was good that my thumb was blown off". And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. "And so, I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this."

"No" his friend replied "This is good"!

"What do you mean 'This is good'? How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?"

"If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you and not here with you right now. And, being whole, they would have taken me."

From Paramahansa Yogananda:."Beholding goodness in everything.(*), you will certainly find that one day the Invisible Power will shatter all the little windows of thoughts and sensations and feelings through which you have been seeing only glimpses of the divine harmony in creation; you will behold through an infinite opening the omnipresent Goodness, God.(*). 

"You must be a divine bee, tasting nothing but the sweetness, the goodness, of the honey of God. Remember that and try to absorb in yourself the good qualities of others. By adoring and tasting human goodness, we can find God. He is the honey and in His honeyed qualities in others we will taste His presence everywhere. 

"Thinking, reading and repeating statements of truth with deep attention will help to clear away negation and to establish a positive attitude in your mind. Repeat your prayers and affirmations with deep concentration until you establish a habit of thought, until it becomes as natural for you to think in the right way as it previously was for you to think negatively. 

"O Father….Bless me, that I may find Thee in the temple of each thought and activity. Finding Thee within, I shall find Thee without, in all people and all conditions."

In a very unusual way, the message here unfolds into exposing the following principle about life.

"Absolutely everything happens for a purpose and out of what seems like adversity at the time always comes good":.Romans 8:28. Be thankful.for everything:.1Thessalonians 5:18 "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Emmanuel concerning you.".Guess who's in charge?

I'm sure that if any of us care to reflect back on the tragedies, the heartaches, the 'bad times' in our lives, we'll discover that we have really grown or developed during that period of time, even though the reflection may still cause us discomfort in some way. 

It is in this way that we slowly gather experience and wisdom and even though we may think or feel that it is unfair, that's the way it is.

"This is good". Many of our life's experiences have saved us from some form of cannibals; it's just that we often don't know that they have at the time.

So, for a simple example to help with awareness: next time you may begin to feel you are being 'wronged' by being stuck in a traffic jam, think about the cannibals that could be lurking down the road a bit, but will be gone by the time you get there.

Now that's a bit different, but worth trying: "this is good" despite the circumstances.

Remember: "What others do or say is their stuff; how we react or not, is our stuff"!

-A prayer to help you move from being a mostly externally programmed individual and onward to a higher realm: 'Father, increase your effective presence in me so that the I's, the me's, the ifs, the doubts of my life, evaporate in the light of your indwelling presence. Help me to have responsibility. Just take me over with your love.'.1Thessalonians 3:12; John 3:30; Luke 17:5.

Ancient Jacob remained good hearted in spite of the trials he had in life.
