Grateful in the Battle

🎙️ Kingdom Now with Dr. John Carmichael – Grateful in the Battle

In this timely message, Dr. John Carmichael preaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, teaching that gratitude is not the “extra” of the Christian life—it is a weapon in spiritual warfare. Written to a persecuted church, Paul’s words remind us that thanksgiving isn’t something we offer after breakthrough but something we practice during the battle. Gratitude transforms fear into faith, chaos into clarity, and pressure into supernatural peace.

From this passage, Dr. Carmichael reveals four truths about what it means to be grateful in the battle:
1️⃣ Gratitude Refuses to Let the Battle Steal Your Joy — Joy isn’t an emotion; it’s strength. Gratitude protects it.
2️⃣ Gratitude Keeps You Connected to God Through Prayer — Prayer and thanksgiving work together to calm the heart and invite God’s peace.
3️⃣ Gratitude Declares Victory Before You See It — Scripture teaches us to give thanks in all things and even for what God is doing through all things.
4️⃣ Gratitude Rebuilds Your Trust in God’s Will — Gratitude affirms that God is working all things together for good, even in the conflict.

This message reminds every believer that gratitude is not polite—it’s powerful. When you stay grateful in the battle, you position yourself for God’s breakthrough.
