“Thanksgiving 2013 – 101” …Blog.
*** (Romans
10:17) Then Faith comes by Hearing, and Hearing by the Word of God.
***
(2Corinthians 7:10) For having sorrow in a godly way results in
Repentance that leads to Salvation and leaves no regrets. But the sorrow of the
World produces Death.
***
(Romans 8:24-25) For we are
saved by Hope. But hope that is seen is Not hope; for what anyone sees, why
does he also hope for it?
(Rom 8:25) But
if we Hope for that which we do Not see, then
we Wait for it with Patience.
*** (Habakkuk 3:17-18-19) Though the
fig tree shall Not blossom, and fruit is Not on the vines; the labor of the
olive Fails, and the fields yield No food. The flock is cut Off from the fold,
and No herd is in the stalls;
(Hab 3:18) yet I will rejoice in Jehovah the LORD; I
will joy in the God of my salvation.
(Hab 3:19) Jehovah the Lord is my strength, and He
will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk on my high
places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Thanksgiving in America, is truly a real American holiday. Most who do
Not know History: do not realize the “Religious Persecution” by the Catholic
Church and others! This caused the ‘Many’ to seek a “Freedom of Worship”: in a
new land Not ruled by a “Pseudo Religious Church State”. Of course, because our
current History books used to teach the youth, have been: “Politically
Corrected”, this fact has been “Obscured & Obfuscated!” [Lied about!] There
are those, who have been Born Again, by the Holy Spirit of God: who are a
Minority here in America. “Religious & Sexual Liberties” have been extended
to many of the ‘Debauched’ minority! And yet, those who Truly Love the LORD,
see their freedoms disappearing. School boards throughout America, provide for
Muslim religious practices! “Homosexual & Perverted Sexuality” is now toted
as the… ‘New American Minority Rights!’ Yes, those Christians see the “Opposite
to their Rights”: which are guaranteed by the US Constitution. May I ask a simple
Question…? Have You adopted the “Habakkuk
3:17-18-19” attitude to your Mindset? Remember our Hope is “NOT of this World”,
but of the… “Next”…!
*** (Revelation
21:1-to-8) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first
heaven and the first earth had passed away. And the sea no longer is.
(Rev 21:2) And
I, John, saw the holy city, New
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her Husband.
(Rev 21:3) And
I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is
with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God
Himself will be with them and be their God.
(Rev 21:4) And God will wipe away all tears from their
eyes. And there will be No more death, Nor mourning, Nor crying out, Nor
will there be any more pain; For the first things passed away.
(Rev 21:5) And He sitting on the throne said, Behold,
I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and
faithful.
(Rev 21:6) And He said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and
the End. To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the Water of
Life freely.
(Rev 21:7) He
who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My
son.
(Rev 21:8) But
the Fearful, and the Unbelieving, and the Abominable, and Murderers, and
Whoremongers, and Sorcerers, and Idolaters, and ALL LIARS, will have their
part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
*** (1Thessalonians 5:18) In
Everything give thanks, for this is
the Will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
***
(Job 2:9-10) And his wife Said to him, Do you still hold to
your integrity? Curse God and die!
(Job 2:10) But
he said to her, You speak as one of the Foolish ones speak. What? Shall we receive Good at the hand of
God, and shall we Not [also] receive Evil? In all this Job did Not sin with
his lips. [Isaiah 45:5-6-7]
*** (Hebrews 13:5-6) Keep your lives free from the love of
money, and be content with what you have,
for God has said, "I will Never Leave you or Abandon you."
(Heb 13:6)
Hence we can confidently say, "The
Lord is my helper; I will Not be afraid. What can Anyone do to me?"
***
(Romans 8:28) And we know that All Things work together for Good: to those who love God, to those who are Called according to His
purpose.
May I ask a simple “Thanksgiving Question”…? Do You meet with Christ Jesus in His
Holy Word, each morning? Before the “Press of the Day”, comes upon your “Heart,
Mind & Soul”…? Christ Jesus met with His Heavenly Father, GOD… ‘each &
every’ morning. The Children of Israel, had to get the Manna before the sun
arose and it evaporated. What could be more important in “Any Life”… than to
Meet with the “Holy Living Word of God”, in His Written Word? Absolutely
Nothing! Having the “Mind of Christ” [Philippians 2:5]… simple means having a
mind “Yielded to His Holy Word”, by His Indwelling Holy Spirit. One cannot ‘Walk
in the Spirit’, without knowing His Holy Word! Did You know about, “Sins of
Omission?” Not waking in the Spirit, is such a one. Perhaps this Thanksgiving
week… “Repurpose your TIME”… and begin a new walk with Him, in His Holy Word…?
***
(Proverbs 30:4) Who has
gone up to Heaven and has come
down? Who has gathered the wind in
His fists? Who has bound the waters
in His garments? Who has established all the ends of
the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's
name? Surely you know.

*** (Mark 1:35) And in the morning, rising up a great
while before day, HE [Jesus] went out,
and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. [Worshiped]
*** (2Corinthains 4:16) That's why we are Not discouraged. No,
even IF our outer man is wearing out, our
Inner man is being Renewed: Day by Day. [2Timothy
2:15-16]
*** (1Samuel 2:30) And the LORD Jehovah, the God of Israel
says, I said indeed, Your house and the house of your father should walk before
Me forever. = But now Jehovah the LORD says, = Be it far from Me! = For those who honor Me [God] I will honor,
= and those that think little of Me shall be lightly regarded.
***
(Isaiah 29:13) And the LORD Jehovah said, Because this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their
lips honor Me, but have Removed their
heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the command of men;
*** (Psalms 138:2) I will worship toward Your holy temple,
and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth's sake; for You have magnified = Your Word = above all Your name.

Spiritual ‘Decisions’ – 101”…Blog.
*** (1Corinthains 4:2) And the rest, it is sought
among stewards that one be found “FAITHFUL”.
Did Anyone Notice, how the “Thanksgiving Holiday”…
is being Replaced with: “Black Friday Greed”…? How many are taking
time to thank God, for His “Love, Mercy & Grace?” Have You thanked HIM, for
providing your Salvation, in the “Finished Work of Redemption” by Christ Jesus…?
Did You thank HIM… for being the “LORD of Lords” & the “KING of Kings”…? And
for HOW: He has placed You in such a country with such temporal blessings? When
was the last time, You thanked your Earthly Parents, for raising You? Or
thanked your Mate, for what they have provided for You? Or even your Children
for being a part of your Family in obedience? Too many have “Replaced
THANKSGIVING”… with temporal passing ‘pleasures & things’. Many I
personally believe, Do NOT understand “True Thanksgiving”… because they do NOT
know their Bibles…! Could it simply be: that their Minds & Hearts… have
grown “Cold”… towards the LORD…?
*** (Romans
10:17) Then Faith comes by Hearing, and Hearing by the Word of God.
*** (2Peter 2:20-21-22) For
if, after escaping the world's corruptions through a full knowledge of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled and conquered by them,
then their last condition is worse than their former one.
(2Pet 2:21)
It would have been better for them Not to have known the way of righteousness than
to know it and turn their backs on the holy commandment that was committed to
them.
(2Pet 2:22) The
proverb is true that describes what has happened to them: "A dog returns
to its vomit," and "A pig that is washed goes back to wallow in the
mud."
*** (2Corinthains
10:3-to-6) Of course, we are living in the flesh, but we do not fight in a
fleshly way.
(2Cor 10:4) For the weapons of our warfare are not those of the flesh.
Instead, they have the power of God to
demolish fortresses. We tear down arguments
(2Cor 10:5) and every proud
obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive in order to obey Christ.
(2Cor 10:6) We are ready to punish every act of Disobedience [Romans 6:1-2 & Proverbs 28:13] when
your Obedience is complete. [1John
1:5-to-10]
***
(Romans 8:15-16-17) For you
have Not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba,
Father! [Daddy]
(Rom 8:16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with
our spirit that we are the children of God.
(Rom 8:17) And if we are children, then we are
heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with
Christ; so that if we suffer with Him,
we may also be glorified together.
“Whose
your ‘Daddy’ – 101?”…Blog.
Perhaps this Thanksgiving 2013… that we All, [myself included]: take a
realistic look… at our “Thanksgiving Attitude”…? One will Not grow spiritually,
with a cold heart of “Un-Thankfulness”...! Only when our Focus is on “Him &
His Holy Word”, can we easily… “Walk in the Spirit”…! Remember God has given us
‘Free Will!’ It is ONLY YOU… who can make those Choices for “Good or Evil”…!
Which one will You… Make this “Thanksgiving 2013”…?
*** (1Corinthians
9:27) No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I
have preached to others, I myself will NOT somehow be disqualified.
***
(Hebrews 3:12-to-19) Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any
of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
(Heb 3:13) But exhort one another daily, while it
is called today, lest any of you be
hardened through the
deceitfulness of sin.
(Heb 3:14) For
we are made partakers of Christ, if
we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
(Heb 3:15) while
it is said, "Today if you will hear
His voice, harden Not your hearts, as in the provocation."
(Heb 3:16) For
some, when they had heard, did provoke; however, Not all who came out of Egypt
by Moses.
(Heb 3:17) But with whom was He grieved forty years?
Was it not with those who had
sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
(Heb 3:18) And to whom did He swear that they should Not enter into His
rest, but to those who did Not believe?
(Heb 3:19) So we see that they could Not enter in
because of unbelief.
*** (Hebrews 9:14) how much more will the blood of Christ, Who
through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God; cleanse our
consciences from dead works so that we may serve the “Living God!”
*** (Rev 21:4) And God shall wipe away ALL tears from their eyes; and there shall
be No more death, Neither sorrow, Nor crying, Neither shall there be any more
pain: FOR the former things are passed
away.
