Share The Truths About Thanksgiving--Before You Lose It All

"I don't want to stand before the Throne of Grace, in front of the LORD saying-- Lord, I know who you are. You've shown yourself to me and I know who you are but I was afraid to tell people. And I know of the truth about America but I was afraid to tell people."  Patriot Pastor Garrett Lear

If all of us had such a fear of God, we would turn this nation back on the right track.  The Founding Fathers left us a legacy and they wanted us to live in it.  But for too long, the enemy has turned the truths into lies and hid the true history from children for they are the future.  It has worked as today most Americans do not learn true history from their schools and have been like puppets on a string.  But the winds are changing and the winds of truth are blowing.  Hear the 11-28-09 show as the Patriot Pastor Garrett Lear will present to you the truths about Thanksgiving.  At the end is a special conversation between him and one key to our future.  We in this nation are so blessed--hear this and the truths we have been missing out on.  May you share this podcast and may it be a blessing to your family and friends.  Audio link...

{A Poem for Thanksgiving and for all Time.}

The embers burned so softly, while the night convinced no companion to comfort him. He had been a weary traveler, looking for a place to rest his hungry shell, once a man. All the darkness could offer him was crumbs. Mankind had turned the other cheek, inside a heated and down- filled blanket that could not be for two.
Hiding by a once lit garbage can sleep came unwillingly. I had no knowledge of this hunger, while a chill ran across my legs, oblivious to any discomforts of a real sence. No explanation can be given to the phenomenan, could this be only a choice? NO. Desperation. As the embers crackled with a vengence, at a life slipping away. So the night turned it's lights down low, hiding from the traveler, behind the once lit garbage can, while he was pecked, and fed some crumbs from a world that did not want him.

I think about all the times that God has taken me thru: sickness, financial difficulties and lonliness, and it reminds me that His word never changes! He is not a man that He should lie! When I learned and then beleived that God really does hear me, I began to pray for others, and their needs as well. Now with understanding, and even on this upcoming Thanksgiving, with continued challenges of a physical nature as well as a bit of lonliness without any family around close by, I know God is my constant companion, and I am His friend. You see God created a people unto His own who were the Jews. Now with the completed promise of His son Jesus who came into the world to redeem us, save us, and love us with all our imperfections, and sins, we are free to now understand that we are always in His constant care. God wants us to be His friend and companion. We are always a people unto His own, Jew and Gentile alike. Come and celebrate the season of Thanksgiving with an understanding that the Lord is with you. Call upon His name. Give thanks with a grateful heart for the things He has done. Remember no matter how hard at times your situation may become, there is always someone out there who is hurting, hungry, and lonely. Perhaps it is time we looked to the God in each of us to reach others who need what we have. Perhaps if we would do this, even if it were for only one, every need of ours would be met, especially the one of spirit and truth. It is truely better to give than to recieve! Happy Thanksgiving!

I give the Lord God thanks for my family, friends, my job, my salvation. I also give thanks for the men and women who are fighting for our freedom. WE should all be thankful for them. I am saved and I live in a free nation. THank you Lord Jesus for giving your only son so that I might live.

I have believed in Jesus Christ as the son of God and as the world's redeemer my whole life, but at around the age of 13 I put walls up around my heart and went my own way. I still prayed, sure, and fervently at that, but I didn't allow Him in to love me. I didn't think I was loveable...or worthy of such a love. My life became ... ... See MoreRead Moredefined by this anger, hopelessness, and self destructive lifestyle...until the Spring of 2004. I had had enough of the bitterness and empty promises of this world and I surrendered my life to Him...I layed it all down at the foot of the cross...and Jesus Himself gathered me up in His arms and I felt His love and forgiveness overwhelm me. I will never be the same and I will never be content until everyone I meet and love knows Him!

God is such a blessing to the entire world. We have the sunlight, we have the air to breathe, food and water, we have clothing and shelter. This is not so for all of the world, but as Christians, we are to be light in the darkness and to care for the less fortunate. In doing so, we may have to go to war to stop the evil from spreading. In the early years of Israel, they were to kill all that was in the land before they inhabitated it. Israel failed to do that and even made allies with those God didn't instruct them to make covenants with...and paid the price. Why do we think we are not under the same laws. The old testament and new testament walks hand in hand. Jesus fullfilled the penalty of the law, but did not do away with the law. We must learn the Word for life and to be a light. God is so good to us.

We must be wearing our armor and head out to the battle upon us. It isn't in Afganistand or Iran or .... it is in our land, state, city, neighborhood or maybe our own home....we must destroy the evil in our midst...remove the tv, stereo, magazines...anything that will take you from God. We must save our children and our families....the blood on the lintel and door posts saved the children of Israel in the Exodus, but we need to place the blood upon the lintel and doorposts of our hearts.... it is war.
May His blessings be upon you.

Paying The Price For Political Correctness/Veteran's Day

Hear Mr. Wayne Wood, historian, former teacher, also a veteran speak about Ft. Hood.  Please visit our website www.cityonahill.tv for more info such as the video of a message from the Ft. Hood attacker. Also hear speech on Veterans Day from Mr John Eidsmoe who is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel former Professor of Constitutional Law at the Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in Montgomery, Alabama.  He has authored 12 books, including Christianity & the Constitution, Columbus & Cortez, and the video series titled The Institute on the Constitution

Veteran's Day After Ft. Hood Shooting

Veteran's Day 2009 was bittersweet.  It's hard to believe, just last week, 43 people's lives were changed forever in a battle that raged for 10 minutes in the heart of America's largest military base.  Our hearts ached as it did on 9/11 at the incredible act of hatred that caused mindless cold-blooded murder in our soil.  We have heard of the call of Bin Laden for Jihad and we've seen a glimpse of it-- but last week it hit home and it hit hard.  More and more are speaking of it as an act of terror and why not--it is exactly what the terrorists have been calling for. 

So Veteran's day though it was celebrated with a lot of cheers and smiles--I believe, there is also new found determination in the hearts of Americans to honor our freedom fighters by helping ensure they do not get massacred within their camp.   We have seen the scale tip too heavily when we ignore the obvious.  

It was a day for solemn thanksgiving to the legacy of freedom fought by all our soldiers in the past and present.  Freedom indeed isn't free and it can be lost if the enemy comes in because America is swallowing a sleeping pill called "political correctnes." 

Hope Americans remember that being politically involved is part of honoring God's blessings of letting us live in this shining "city on a hill."  So please call Congress  at 202 224-3121 to support Lieberman's call for an investigation.  It's a small thing to do for our brave men and women.

May God bless our soldiers and may God bless America.

Video of Moslem Saying The Message of Ft. Hood Shooter

The Lord gave me this passage on Sat. 10-3-09--it is very encouraging for He is with us and is something to remember in these times--

Jeremiah 50:34--Yet their Redeemer is strong;
       the LORD Almighty is his name.
       He will vigorously defend their cause 
       so that he may bring rest to their land...

We do have to pray for these who live in darkness

From the video:"...The message that should be taken from yesterday in Ft. Hood where 12 American soldiers were killed-this war that America begged for, they instigated and they started will not be simply fought in Moslem soil, Moslem lands-.....-this war will be fought on American soil....this is what the attacker wanted you to understand..."

  More to read and please pray over these things also:

Fight for your right while this is still your country:  "This is not my opinion; federal law enforcement confirms there exists a network of wealthy Islamic organizations within the U.S. dedicated to supporting terrorist groups and subverting our constitutional government."  Read this other WND article also.

On 9/11 they came in large planes--this time around they think they have found a better way.  Americans can't afford to be asleep on this issue.  We know not all  mean us harm but neither can we deny that those that do are very devout and very determined to use any weapons they can and even their very own family is not safe.  

The story of Rifqa Bary (link to report from former FBI on flawed report) a former Moslem who knows the truth and the repercussions that can come even from her own family needs to also be held by us in prayer. Due to political correctness her life now hangs in the balance.  Hear one of our podcast of an interview with a missionary who says honor killing is commonplace and yet we doubt Rifqa's fears. This is another warning--can we really afford to look the other way when signs are there?  Some people did in the case of Maj Hasan, and the price was paid with so many lives whose breath and dreams have been taken away because of the power of "one" sincerely wrong.  To their children, their mothers and fathers, their spouses, their best friends, their families and many in this nation-- those that died were very important people.   It is easy for some to overlook this but to many citizens of this great nation and those whose grief and pain we can only imagine--they wish someone had not looked the other way.

I pray for supernatural wisdom and discernment for our leaders and as in the days of the Foundation of this nation--I pray for boldness to seek the truth for all of us.  The problems were great too at that time and was insurmountable.  As I heard it said--a betting man would not have bet on US but because we serve Jehovah-God what is impossible with men is possible with Him.  He blessed America then--supernaturally--so don't forget to pray as well as act.  Thank you

Ft. Hood Shootings-The Victims

Pvt. Francheska Velez, 21, Chicago--daughter of a Colombian immigrant who had wanted to join the military.  Francheska had told her father  'Papi, lo voy hacer' ('I will do it')."  She had re-enlisted and was on her way home early from Iraq due to her maternity leave.  It was her and her father's dream for her to serve in the military but Thursday that dream was shattered.

Velez was from Chicago and had attended Kelvyn Park High School and was in ROTC.  She had a wonderful fun personality and even worked for free as a clown at parties as she loved making people laugh specially her father.  They had a love together for the US military.  Her father asks "What I don't understand is how this demented man could do this. ... How could she die at the hands of her own people?  That's what I don't understand, and I will never understand."  This is a sad testimony of these politically correct times when the enemy is allowed to be amongst the brave soldiers and do them harm.  I pray we will learn something from this as statistics are showing the enemies tactics of working from within is an efficient tool for them especially when so many looks the other way.  It is time America wakes up--too many signs overlooked by those fearful of a backlash and that should not be--amongst the brave.  May we stand in the gap and say "never again."

List of others whose lived were ended on Thursday’s shooting at Fort Hood, Texas:

Maj. Libardo Caraveo, 52, Woodbridge, Va.
