The Stronghold of God by Francis Frangipane

“The very quality of your life, whether you love it or hate it, is based upon how thankful you are toward God.  Our attitude determines whether life to us is a place of blessedness or wretchedness and misery (81).”

“This is the only life you will have before you enter eternity.  If you want joy, you must first find thankfulness (81).”

“It does not matter what your circumstances are; the instant you begin to thank God, even though your situation has not changed, you begin to change (83).”

“The key that unlocks the gates of heaven is a thankful heart (83);”

“When God gives us less than we desire, it is not because He is teaching us poverty; He is teaching us thankfulness (85).”

“This covenant of thanksgiving is the key that shuts and bolts the door to demonic oppression in a person’s life (87).”
