The Sacrifice of thanksgiving
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.

The sacrifice of thanksgiving goes way beyond the old testament
type of sacrificial offering to YHVH. In the spiritual sense it is a
simple thank you to Dad for achieving something in your life may it be
material or immaterial. The reason why it is a sacrifice
is because you're admitting that it wasn't anything you did towards an
achievement and that it was all him. You are sacrificing your ego
because you are not feeding it.
When you stop giving sacrifices of thanksgiving to the one who
deserves them (Dad), then you start worshiping the works of your hands.
It is very easy to land in this snare even as a believer from time to
time, so be cognate of your works. The ones who
worship their works will believe that they DESERVE their achievements
and this leads to entitlement and pride. It's not always the outcome
they idolize but it is how they got there and showing to others that
they work hard to achieve their greatness. When
actually it is a blessing from the father to get fruits from our work
unlike when Israel were slaves in Egypt.
For many of us this might be easy for us to understand, but for the
Patriot/Conservative class of people they can't let this go. And yes,
Conservatives have many other issues like worshiping Babylonian idols
and politicians (Trump, DeSantis etc.). Also,
being a Lukewarm Christian that is having a devastating impact on the
image of the Church of Christ. But the worshiping the works of their
hands is a consistent denominator fighting their surrender to Yeshua.
Because it is a SURRENDER and the EGO doesn't
want to sacrifice to anything but itself.
Dad revealed to me a few weeks ago that Conservatives worship
Babylon all the same as Liberals. It was quiet profound when He told me.
Their Idols and lack of faith were just a valley compared to the
insurmountable mountain of worshiping the works of
their hands. It took me a while to realize this but through
experiencing conservatives around me it dawned, especially on the older
generation. We have probably heard a saying like "This generation isn't
deserving enough because they are given everything".
When do we deserve anything? We deserve tormenting judgement but Yeshua
gave us the gift of life.
When I receive blessings and gifts from Dad, I receive the most
flak from Conservatives making comments like "You don't deserve it" or
"What did you do to deserve that, you didn't work for it". Many of us
have friends and family like this and the don't
understand that we have CHEAT CODES FOR LIFE (LOL). It is hard for them
to understand until their works won't deliver them from what is coming.
When tribulation gets very difficult these people will be around us and
they will see that we have cheats and are
successful without our works but by almighty Dad, then they will
repent.
Enoch 50:2
2 On the day of affliction on which evil shall have been treasured up against the sinners.
And the righteous shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
And He will cause the others to witness (this)
That they may repent
And forgo the works of their hands.
Jeremiah 46:15-17
15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the Lord did drive them.
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said,
Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our
nativity, from the oppressing sword.
