Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

The bird is roasting, the potatoes are baking; so is the dressing, the green beans will be in the pan soon and the cranberry sauce is chilling. 
It’s been a laid-back morning so the meal is a little later than normal; but, hey, we are giving many thanks. And we hope you all are as well. 

With JESUS love and kindest regards to you all,
JT and Kathie

Day 26

Day 26 of The Giving of Thanks

The United States of America.
I am giving thanks today that even though Academia and others of Influence have sought diligently to hid away America’s true history, I am grateful for the Documents, the Letters, and the Books that have been secured.
We can KNOW our real history.
We can know the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
The Good to rejoice over and there is much Good to thank GOD for.

There is more than enough Bad and Ugly to learn from and make sure it is not repeated. 

I would to The Great LORD that we as a people would come to understand that The Mayflower Compact, The Declaration of Independence, and our Constitution were and are GIFTS from ALMIGHTY GOD.
These documents were birthed in the heart of people led by GOD HIMSELF.
And to every soul who does not believe this, I have to say You don’t know History, not the real History of America.
Here is an excellent place to begin.

There are MANY more! I praise JESUS for David Barton. 

And you might want to visit my November 24, 2020 post for another wonderful video, if you missed it at the post date. 

Again, Happy Thanksgiving. GOD has given us so much!! 

Day 25

Day 25 of The Giving of Thanks

Taste
The sense of tasting.
To sit, taste, and share bread with family, friends, or even an acquaintance we want to know better; it’s a pleasure and a gift for which we give thanks. Tomorrow is a day here in America set aside to give Thanks. It’s a day to remember an event occurring centuries ago and to bring it forward. GOD is still GOD. He has not changed and for that, we can surely give THANKS. 

Hebrews 13:8  (NKJV) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. source

James 1:17 (AMP) 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes]. source

Here’s a video. I hope you enjoy it. 

Question Answered

I asked a question recently at my Facebook feed (in summary) if Christians should just let evil flourish. 
I am here with an answer. 

2 Thessalonians 2:5-8
1 John 3:8
Romans 8:9

There may be other passages but these helped me with the question. 

I heard a Minister of the Gospel say we are to stand against evil to prolong the time we can have to preach the Gospel of Salvation. Other than because GOD said so, that’s the best reason I’ve heard to date. 

We know from 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8 that HOLY SPIRIT restrains the Evil One from being fully revealed in this world and He restrains the rise of the Anti-Christ to power at this time. He will not always do that. 
From 1 John 3:8 I know that JESUS came to earth to destroy the works of the Devil, the Evil One. 
From Romans 8:9 I know that every SAVED person is indwelt by HOLY SPIRIT.

So, since HOLY SPIRIT is here to restrain the evil one; since JESUS came to destroy the works of the devil, and since all true Christians have HOLY SPIRIT living within us; it stands to reason that Christians must allow HOLY SPIRIT to resist and restrain evil in this world through us. 

So, what evil do we resist, restrain?
Every stinky form of it that is in this world.
How?
However, HOLY SPIRIT provides us individually and collectively with a way to stand.
