Sunday November 24th, Episode 34. Why Celebrate Thanksgiving? I’m your host Zane Lawhorn.

As the season of Advent approaches, we stop for a day to return thanks.

Thanksgiving is a time to remember what God has done for us.

We want to discover the significance of Thanksgiving, a cherished tradition for patriotic Christians, celebrating gratitude, faith, and family.

Thanksgiving is a beloved occasion that holds a special place in the hearts of patriotic Christians. This cherished holiday is more than just a day for feasting; it’s a time for expressing gratitude, reflecting on faith, and strengthening family bonds. But why exactly do we celebrate Thanksgiving? Let’s delve into the rich history, spiritual significance, and the traditions that make this holiday so meaningful.

Thanksgiving traces its origins back to 1621 when the Pilgrims celebrated a successful harvest with the Wampanoag tribe. This event laid the foundation for the Thanksgiving we know today, symbolizing cooperation and gratitude. The holiday became officially recognized when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday in 1863, amid the Civil War, as a way to foster unity and thankfulness.

The Pilgrims, who were devout Christians, left England seeking religious freedom. Their journey to the New World was fraught with challenges, yet their faith remained strong. The first Thanksgiving was not just a celebration of the harvest but also a testament to their resilience and divine providence. For patriotic Christians, Thanksgiving is a powerful reminder of their ancestors' faith and determination.

It is a reminder that God Almighty was present as our country was born.

For Christians, Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate the many blessings bestowed upon them by God. This includes not only material wealth but also spiritual growth and familial love. The holiday encourages believers to reflect on their faith journey and express gratitude for the guidance and support they’ve received.

Many families incorporate prayers and scripture readings into their Thanksgiving traditions. This practice underscores the day’s religious significance and emphasizes the importance of giving thanks in all circumstances, as urged in

1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”

If you are not including prayer and praise in your Thanksgiving celebration then make it part of your day’s activities.

Thanksgiving offers a unique opportunity for families to come together, share stories, and create lasting memories. In our fast-paced lives, it's a chance to pause, reconnect with loved ones, and foster a spirit of gratitude. It’s really hard in my opinion to celebrate Thanksgiving without family being together.

Each family has its unique traditions, from classic turkey feasts to volunteering in local communities. New traditions can help reinforce family bonds and ensure Thanksgiving remains a meaningful, cherished holiday for future generations.

Thanksgiving is also a day to appreciate the freedoms and opportunities available in our country. It encourages us to reflect on the nation's history, values, and the sacrifices made by those who have protected our liberties. For patriotic Christians, this holiday is a reminder of the blessings of living in a land where they can freely practice their faith.

The most important SUPER-SIGN that must take place first has already happened. Over 75 years ago, a generation ago the nation of Israel was reborn after 2500 years of silence. Israel must exist for the rest of the events to take place. No one living before 1948 could expect the Messiah's return. It wasn't until that rebirth that we entered the final last days the very last hours leading up to the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS.

I wrote about this in my book, "Final Countdown to the Kingdom".

In the book I list a dozen super-signs that must take place leading up to the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Five of those have already occurred and a few more are in the works.

Here is the take-home message for this part of the podcast: This world we live in looks exactly like the world as described in the Bible as the time, the season of His return.

If you are not familiar with these passages in the Bible, I suggest you start with the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24 and read the whole chapter. It is pretty straight forward as Jesus is asked by His disciples what signs to look for. He answered them, let's start with that.

Instead of saying something like, 'you ain't supposed to know', Jesus went into great detail about the season of His return. The Last Days are not a complete secret and taboo. We are to know. Jesus said say Himself here in Mark 13:37

"What I say to you, I say to everyone; WATCH! “ --Mark 13:37.

So let's explore God's Truth with a brief summary of what our world looks like and how it relates to the Bible. This is not an extensive study, you are encouraged to read God's Word yourself to find all the references to our time. Know this, you are here right now for a purpose. God has SENT YOU HERE TO THIS LITTLE PODCAST FOR A REASON. He has 'called' you to know this much and to ignite the flickering flame of Revival in your heart into a raging fire.

To begin, I will repeat, the nation of Israel exists again. No other nation has died and then been reborn after 2500 years. Think about it, we basically killed off the Cherokee Nation with the Trail of Tears in 1838. So what do you think the chances are of them being reborn as a nation in the year 4,338?

In 70 A.D., Roman soldiers destroyed the Temple and Jerusalem when they put down a Jewish rebellion. The Jewish people were disbursed to various nations ending any legal tie to the Promised Land.

To make matters even worse, they renamed Israel after their mortal enemies the Philistines, calling it Palestine. Not that 'Palestine' came AFTER the nation of Israel owned the Land. Land given to them by God Almighty Himself.

So Israel was FIRST.

The Palestinians are the squatters on the land and don't deserve one inch of the land. They are occupying the Promised Land of Israel and don't have any real legitimate claim to the land from 'Sea to Sea'.

The Roman Empire tried but failed to erase every trace of Israel and it's people. Only God's chosen people could have been reborn 2500 years later as a nation.

God's Truth knew better, for thousands of years ago, God foretold of the impending exile of His Chosen People. In one passage He promises to call them back from "among the nations" (Ezekiel 39:28). In the Prophet Isaiah's book, God clearly indicates they will return, from "the farthest corners of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12). All directions are included in Psalm 107 verse 3, from "north, south, east and west". God covered every aspect of the planet where a Jewish person might live.

November 5th, 2024 will be remembered as the Day the Gates of Hell did NOT prevail against America.

November 5th will be known as the turning point of Revival, Return and Restoration of the united States of America.

No it won’t happen overnight, there are still a lot and I mean a LOT of issues, sins and abominations that have to be removed from our land. But God will be merciful and patient with us as we remove the idolatry and perversion from our land.

The Presidential Election is over. Praise the Lord.

President Donald Trump will now be our Commander in Chief and Executive Officer for the future of America.

Christians need to pray for our president. These are dark days as predicted, for the Last Days of this wicked world. The Bible is clear that as the end approaches tribulations would increase. That while the Gospel would be preached to the ends of the earth, those with faith will fall away.

A Great Falling Away with people turning to those who tell them what they want to hear. Others, just ignore the Gospel turning instead to the world for hope and answers. Yet, they live in despair with depression, anxiety and no real hope.

The truth is; that no president, no member of Congress is the answer to our problems. Some are obviously better for us than others. And I hope you prayed about your votes before they were cast. We the People have to do a better job of selecting God-Fearing candidates.

For when the righteous rule the people rejoice (Proverbs 29:2), but when the wicked are in power we will all mourn.

Seems like we have been in mourning for quite some time doesn’t it…..?

The new president will have to deal with a massive spending problem at the same time we have a massive military need, social services need and are being flooded by illegal immigrants. I don’t envy their task ahead, we must pray for these problems to be addressed quickly and decisively.

But America will never prosper or realize true greatness again, until we put Jesus Christ FIRST in America through a Revival and return to Jesus Christ as Lord.

The good news is that Revival is spreading across America like a wildfire!

A recent CBN article on October 30th reads;

“Signs of Revival: Nearly 400 People Choose Christ at Mississippi State Fair.”

Nearly 400 people gave their life to Christ at the State Fair after hearing the Gospel preached….

Evangelism at the State Fair, that’s a great concept. Hopefully that will happen at the West Virginia State Fair next August too.

And as I have shared with listeners, Revival is happening in other places as well.

Another CBN article published on Halloween reports on another Revival event held on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

Thousands of Christians gathered on the National Mall to take part in what was called “One Nation Under God Revival” event.

And while thousands were marching towards our nation’s capitol. 10,000 students were packing a college arena.

According to the article, get this, it reads “We’ve seen over 70,000 students gather on 11 campuses representing 400 universities. We’ve seen around 5,000 saved and close to 2,000 baptized.”

Revival is happening in big numbers but the individual ones are just as important. God works through various ways to reach the lost, and each one is important, just as important. Revival is the spark in one’s heart that when fanned into a flame, ignites the spirit of that person to become bold and leave their sinful life behind.

Revival is our only hope and it is being flamed into a raging fire right now all across America.
