As Thanksgiving approaches with a turkey now in the oven, we want to wish you all a wonderful day of thankful celebration.
Great thanks to God for whose glory we live our lives. We Pray that He will continue to Bless the United States of America, the only nation on earth whose people declared their destiny in Sovereignty under God on July 4th 1776, whose ancestors, the Pilgrims, had the great accident of discovering capitalism and the birth of an entirely new world order, an order void of feudal tenures, and subject servitude was discarded in exchange for individual Liberty-Responsibility.
Today is a day to start an exceptionally good habit. The Soldiers are to be commended and thanked daily for their service, their courage, and exceptional capability to achieve their objectives, often without being acknowledged at all except maybe by their own. Thanksgiving is a great day to begin saying thank you to every soldier you meet. Our debt to them is one that cannot be repaid, and is exactly why they should hear a thank you from one of us every single day, one they can share with those of their family who sacrificed also.
When we celebrate this day with family, friends, and other Americans throughout our nation and the world, we're a testament to the relevance of this history, the vibrant character of America is carried throughout this day amongst us in our showing thanks, gratitude, and appreciation. What we do today, how we are to each other in remembrance of those who began the settlement of what would become our precious America, is our reclaiming their Spirit, reclaiming their reasons for coming here, recognizing their hopes and their dreams of freedom remain our own, to assure these for ourselves and future generations. We are also embracing the outcome of their coming here and being on their own: The establishment of America, a Nation Of Individual Liberty, where sovereignty is a matter of unalienable rights from God in every individual.
Our nation's founding is the outcome of a people oppressed long before they arrived—the reason for their Dutch attire being that only the Dutch would harbor them, they lived there for a short time before coming to America—a people who understood all too well that their relationship with God is no one else's business. And for all the mystery that accompanies notions of God, this moment of God's Hand directing the course of mankind is rather obvious.
An oppressed people in feudal subject-servitude by fief, people who were oppressed in every way, and eventually, once the Monarch had exhausted all means of control and things to tax in the realm of the temporal, to be oppressed in their sincerely held religious beliefs as a people as the realm of the spiritual is sought as a possession by the Monarch in directing how one is Faithful.
Something we've begun to see in our lifetime by the denial of symbols of Faith, to which is promoted the legally recognized religion of Atheism, is what was endured by our nation's first settlers. Government telling people what there beliefs can and will be, and tell them they shall be subject to the prescribed punishment for failure to believe as government has told them to, to act in a way that demonstrates their beliefs are held secondary to Government's dictates.
The oppressive character of this was exacerbated for the Pilgrims by further explanation, that, according to government, only by believing as told will a person be seen by God as Faithful, that anything else makes them a non-believer and God will punish them. Today it is obvious this was merely a feudal government justifying their actions by purporting a knowledge in certainty of the mind of God, when a mere mortal or group of them who has run out of things to control and tax and impose fines for violation of is all that is at hand, and it is this which is a direct invocation of God's Will, an attack on His relationship with His Creation, each and every single one of us.
His message, that tap on the shoulder, happens every day each of us, often we don't even notice because His respect for individual liberty, for His Creation, is of paramount necessity to the authority of God's Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. But this tap needs no assistance from men seeking to exploit God for their own designs.
When you consider the road of oppressive rule, with its echos against “witches,” and the continuance of slavery, to eventually come to Truths to be self-evident of July 4th 1776, resulting in a worldwide knowledge of the end of legal and commercial acceptance of subject servitude and slavery being imposed by anyone, ending a practice of feudal entitlement based on exploitation of religion, a practice older than, and well demonstrated by, the Hammurabi Code, http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/MESO/CODE.HTM, you come to one conclusion:
Our entire freedom based on those Truths to be self-evident, that affected the entire world, to have achieve some type of representative government in less than 100 years in every nation exercising any claims of authority and power in the world is an event that could only happen by God's Will invoked merely by keeping Our Faith.
I submit to you that of all to give thanks for, the means of God's Hand through the Faithful is most important. With a longevity of infinity, God through Christ is a consistent certainty that we can have Faith in.
And A. Dru Kristenev, the author of the books we have available at our org website, and I a mere researcher of some of the information you'll read in those books, must thank all of you for coming to our organization website, http://changingwind.org. We're a simple Church whose interest has been to share what information we can with others in hopes of it finding its way to all who value their Freedom by Faith in Christ.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
