Do you feel like life is getting the best of you?  Are you worn out, weary, tired, discouraged, have no joy or you've lost your motivation.  It seems like you have run out of gas.  Then your tank needs a fill up.  You need to get your tank full. 

Tank Less = Thankless
Mirriam Webster Dictionary says this about thankless.  "Not likely to obtain thanks: unappreciated."  It also means "not expressing or feeling gratitude; ungrateful." 

The Bible reveals in Proverbs 23:7 an amazing truth.  It says, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."  So what you think, focus, meditate upon in your inner most being AFFECTS your world.  For as you think, so are you.

Thankless is connected to think-less.  You think less about all of the good things God has done for you and focus more upon things that ultimately rob and drain your love tank. Why do I focus on your "love tank?"  It's because Galatians 5:9 reveals that faith works by love.  The key to overcoming your challenges is your faith.  

Thankful is the Key to Getting Your Tank Filled Up!

We've just returned from missions trip to India and Myanmar and I am thrilled to report long term fruit.  Paul shares with us a concept in Philippians 4 about the benefit that accrues to those who partnered with him and his outreach to Thessalonica.  In verse 17 he says, "Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account."  

You see, God is faithful.  There is an eternal reward and there is also a concept in scripture wherein we want to see fruit and fruit that remains.  It's like a seed of a plant that when full grown continues to bear fruit time and again.  That's what we have here in India and Myanmar. 

I want everyone who has partnered with us to recognize that you've invested wisely into a kingdom endeavor that is producing long term results.  You know, it is one thing to present a vision but it is quite another to see a strategy employed that leads to long term proven transformational results that is affecting the destiny of a nation. For years we've stewarded a corporate strategy modeled after what King David did on Mount Zion in the Tabernacle of David. This trip was especially satisfying as we saw some of the long term fruit being produced in two of some of the most persecuted nations on the planet.  Open Doors listed India as the 10th worst and Myanmar as number 18 on the list of the top twenty nations.

A young minister named Kawl in Myanmar found me in 2006.  When we first started working with him we had to use an alias as his nation was still under control of a military junta at the time.  Our training equipped him to help ministers from seven denominations to work together to fulfill a 20 year vision.  They began using ORT (1Church1Day) in 2008 and by 2010 it led to their acquisition of a mountain which became home to MT Horeb Prayer Center.  By 2011 the government began to change and that liberty led to us being able to visit them in 2013.  

Now this is where it gets really exciting.
