Summary
Gratitude is a posture. Thanksgiving is an action. When you understand how they work together, you begin to see clearly, move boldly, and respond to life from a place of divine strength.
This Walk It Out Wednesday message dives into how a grateful heart and thankful lips release transforming power that grounds you, fuels your purpose, and realigns you with God’s design for your life.
In this message, you’ll find out how to:
• Use gratitude to stabilize your heart when life feels uncertain.
• Let thanksgiving propel you through draining and difficult seasons.
• See the opportunities God hides inside your challenges.
• Break cycles of discouragement by shifting your spiritual position.
• Rebuild confidence through your identity and design in Christ.
When combined, the feeling of gratitude and the outward expression of thanksgiving unlock a spiritual momentum that shifts everything in your life.

| 0:00.0 | You're tuned into the Potter's House podcast where we are encouraged by powerful testimonies and |
| 0:07.8 | life-changing truth. Let's go. If you tapped in online, listen, welcome to the Potter's House of |
| 0:16.9 | Dallas, Texas. Anything, anything is subject to happen. Praise, worship, deliverance, your |
| 0:25.2 | marriage could get healed tonight. You could meet your husband or your wife right here in the |
| 0:31.5 | sanctuary. Somebody could be DM and you online. Now, just check them out, but I'm just, I'm just. |
| 0:40.2 | Dr. Cora, what is your saying? Is it? |
| 0:43.5 | Money chase me, husband, finds me. |
| 0:50.2 | It's going to happen. Listen, y'all, on this eve of Thanksgiving, as we push over our gratitude into gratefulness, we thought we'd start by dialogueing. |
| 1:07.2 | First of all, Dr. Vow, we were talking in a meeting yesterday or the other day, and she was saying there's a difference between Thanksgiving and gratitude. |

| 2:07.3 | the outward expression of that gratitude. It's when you open your mouth and say, Lord, I thank you. |
| 2:16.4 | Lord, I bless you. Lord, I give you the praise. It's when you |
