Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, the Spirit of the LORD is upon US, because the LORD has anointed US to speak of GLAD tidings of Comfort & JOY! Yahweh wants US to PROCLAIM Liberty to the captives of their own self-centered minds and to PROCLAIM that this IS the acceptable Year of our LORD!

A Day of Thanksgiving

The pilgrims first celebrated the holiday Americans call Thanksgiving after their first harvest in 1621. History says it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. The gathering lasted three days. In 1789, our first President, George Washington, issued a national proclamation of “Public Thanksgiving and Prayer, acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God.” Abraham Lincoln issued another proclamation in 1863 and made it a national holiday, referring to it as “A day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.” In their proclamations, they refer to God as the: Almighty God (three times); that Great and Glorious Being; beneficent Author of ALL the GOOD that was, that is, or that will be; the great Lord and Ruler of the Nations; Most High God; and beneficent Father. So much for the myth of separating God from America’s government.

Heavenly Father, we in the U.S. pause today to acknowledge Your Gracious and Omnipotent Hand. America was Your IDEA. You had in Your Heart to form a nation of nations - Native Americans, Asians, Europeans, Africans, Latinos, Middle Easterners, and more. Though our journey included the inevitable challenges associated with human frailties, including evil actions, Your Sovereign Power overcame our flaws and formed the United States of America. We are very aware that this miracle was not just for our blessing and benefit; we were called to a covenantal partnership with You to release Your Redemption from sin’s horrible curse. We acknowledge and agree with the words of Robert Hunt at Cape Henry in 1607: “The Gospel of the Kingdom will go forth from these shores, not only to this land, but to all the nations of the earth.” We agree with the words from Holy Scripture inscribed on the Liberty Bell: “Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof,” (Leviticus 25:10). This is our Destiny and great Honor. 

We are THANKFUL, Father, for the Covenants our Christian Forefathers and Founders entered into with You. They sacrificed much in order to fulfill Your Will, knowing they were drawn here – not just to enjoy Liberty – but to accomplish Your Divine Purposes. We are Grateful for their sacrifices made so long ago, and the incredible Prosperity we have enjoyed due to their Covenantal Partnership with You. May they be forever Honored and always see Righteous Fruit from their labors.

Thank You for preserving us in times of war, disease, sin, and rebellion. In the war of our birth, we were saved through appealing to heaven; in the horrific Civil War, we fought one another and lost half a million sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers, yet You kept the dream alive; in two world wars, You preserved us from evil despots intent on ruling the world. Through all the difficulties and trials of four centuries, YOU have been faithful to preserve us. “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchmen waketh but in vain” (Psalm 127:1). You have blessed this nation - of You, through You, and to You are all things. Thank You, gracious and beneficent God!

Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man, on this day, we as a nation THANK You for Your great Sacrifice in becoming one of us - a member of the human race. Thank You for experiencing the gnawing pangs of hunger, for feeling the heartbreaking pain of a loved one’s death. THANK You for walking dusty roads to heal diseased bodies, taking detours to redeem thirsty hearts, and spending sleepless nights in prayer. THANK You for exposing the wiles and hatred of the serpent, the destructive power of pride, and modeling true love. THANK You for revealing the Father to us once again and creating the Way for us to reconnect with Him as our Abba, our Papa. THANK You for paying such an incredibly high price: the incarnation, the beatings and lashing, Gethsemane, the mocking, the crown of thorns, the wrath of Hell, the hideous Cross, the stain of sin, and sting of death. THANK You!

Gracious Father, wonderful Savior, and Blessed Holy Spirit, though we as a nation have dishonored, rejected, and even mocked You, Your LOVE endures. We have worshiped idols, embraced false religions, shed innocent blood, defiled Your Marriage Covenant, and expelled You from our schools - yet Your Mercies endure. Our government has risen up against You in pride and rebellion, rewritten Your Laws, legislated murderous and immoral rights, and declared that You are no longer welcome in their functions and procedures - yet You have demonstrated amazing Grace and Patience. And while the church should have been Your instrument of preservation from these ills, she became lukewarm, complacent, and ineffective. 

In spite of these and many more evils, You have promised to SAVE America, healing our brokenness, returning our hearts to You, and preserving our Destiny. THANK You, Gracious Father. THANK You for the Restoration occurring in the church; THANK You for the army of intercessors You have raised up here and around the world - we owe them so much. THANK You for the awakening that has begun in America, regarding both our spiritual condition and the horrible fruit this has produced. THANK You for the overthrowing of evil in our government that has begun. THANK You, in advance, for the greatest worldwide outpouring of Holy Spirit in all of history. Because of Your Mercy, America will once again be a strong voice for the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the earth. For all of this and more, we give You THANKS.

Dear ones, now it is your time to write down exactly WHAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR!

Please BE specific and then read them out loud around the table or during commercials on the football games

HALLELUJAH!!!

THANKS BE to GOD for His overwhelming Grace Mercy & Truth!

Enjoy this Feast Day – Happy Thanksgiving and BE Grateful for His abundant Blessings ALL year long!
