Where Are the Nine

Power Hour Recap
“Where Are the Nine?”

Tonight’s Power Hour reminded us that gratitude is more than words — it is a response of the heart. Jesus healed ten lepers, restoring their lives, dignity, and future. Yet only one returned to give Him thanks. His gratitude set him apart, not just as someone healed, but as someone transformed.

We reflected on three powerful truths:
1. Many receive God’s blessings, but few return with gratitude.
All ten lepers were healed, but only one paused long enough to acknowledge the Source of his blessing. Gratitude requires recognition.
2. Gratitude draws us closer to Jesus.
When the one returned, he didn’t just say “thank You” — he fell at Jesus’ feet. Thanksgiving shifts us from receiving God’s gifts to deepening our relationship with the Giver.
3. Gratitude opens the door to greater wholeness.
Jesus said to the one who returned, “Your faith has made you whole.”

The other nine received healing, but only the grateful one received wholeness — spiritual, emotional, and relational restoration. As we move through the week, we are invited to pray, “Lord, help me be the one who comes back.”Because gratitude keeps our hearts soft, our spirits open, and our lives aligned with the One who continues to bless, restore, and renew.
