Background of the Movement:
The idea for this “revolution” began in August 2014, when I realized very clearly that there is neither a reason nor a biblical basis for Christians to complain or grumble about anything. Simply trying to stop isn’t the solution – it doesn’t work. Complaining must be replaced, otherwise a vacuum remains. Every complaint, grumble, or act of ingratitude must be replaced with true, heartfelt, and spoken gratitude toward Jesus.
This insight led to the idea of starting the “Thank You Jesus Revolution” – a movement where as many people as possible carry a “Thank You Jesus” in their daily lives, constantly expressing it on their lips and honoring Jesus in the process. This is not about a new formula or religious ritual, but about a deep conviction of the heart, continually expressed through “Thank You Jesus.” The goal of this revolution is to make Jesus’ unique goodness and love known, who gave His life for everyone.
How it works:
🙌Thank You Jesus Revolution🙌 (Englisch)
1. First, put the bracelet on your left wrist, because that’s the side of your heart. Every time you whine, complain, or feel ungrateful – no matter what it’s about – switch the bracelet immediately to your right wrist. No excuses or explanations are allowed, otherwise the whole exercise doesn’t work. Keep it on your right wrist until the next morning. Then, move it back to your left wrist, where it stays until you whine again. Repeat this every time.
2. When the bracelet is on your right wrist, don’t let feelings of guilt or self-blame take over. Push away any thoughts of failure and don’t focus on the bracelet. Instead, be happy all day that the Lord will give you a fresh start tomorrow, and that you will have the chance to practice this habit again.
3. Involve your friends, family, and fellow believers. Invite them to join the revolution by giving them a bracelet along with the flyer. Ask them to let you know immediately if you say something ungrateful or start to whine. Ideally, this should be reciprocal, so that you can also point out to them when they are ungrateful. Of course, you can also ask other people who are not part of the activity to support you with feedback
