WHEN YOU SEE THE CONNECTION, YOU REGAIN YOUR DOMINION!

John 8:32 –

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

I. Life Feels Out of Control When the Cause Seems Invisible

• You cannot govern what you think is accidental.

Hosea 4:6 – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have

rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you

have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

II. God Built All Human Life on the Law of Connection

• Your outcomes are attached to your actions by design.

Galatians 6:7-8 – 7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows,

that he will also reap. 8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap

corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

III. When You Don’t See the Connection, You Blame

• Blame relieves your feeling of responsibility, but it steals your authority.

Proverbs 19:3 – The foolishness of a man twists his way, and his heart frets against

the LORD.

I. You Have to Clear the Launchpad

• Nothing launches until something is removed.

Hebrews 12:1 – Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

WHAT IS STILL BOLTED TO YOUR LIFE THAT GOD ALREADY TOLD YOU TO REMOVE?

Remember: Launch is not about effort—it’s about release.

II. You Need Thrust, and Thrust Has a Cost

• Nothing lifts without force, and force is never comfortable.

Acts 1:8 – “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

James 1:2-3 – 2My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Launch is not about effort—it’s about release.

I. Thanksgiving began with a Church, not a Country.

II. Thanksgiving was born out of Suffering, not Abundance.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

III. Thanksgiving was a display of God’s Providence.

Isaiah 65:24 – “It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”

Genesis 50:20 – “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.”

IV. Thanksgiving is a call for families to come back to Unity.

Psalm 133:1, 3b – 1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! . . . 3for there the Lord commanded the blessing—Live forevermore.

V. Gratitude is our most powerful Spiritual

I. Emotion – God’s design and Satan’s distortion - God has a Divine Order

Mark 4:28 . . . For the earth yields crops by itself: FIRST the blade, THEN the head, AFTER THAT the full grain in the head.

Genesis 3:6 . . . So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was

pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and

ate.

• Emotion was created to serve truth, not shape it

- The SPIRIT received truth from God.

- The MIND translated that truth into understanding.

- The EMOTIONS gave that understanding energy and expression.

- And the BODY carries it out in the world.

This is God’s divine order and governance: Spirit → Mind → Emotion → Body.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 . . . Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit,
