Thanksgiving evening, cool out moon is up, no wind and wood smoke in the yard. Maple wood smoke, smells like when we smoke sausage only I’d have a rough time eating any sausage or anything else tonight for that matter. I’m stuffed and the funny thing was I didn’t think I ate all that much! Just one big plate full and some pumpkin pie to top it off. Must be the lack of work not burning the food away at the normal pace. There was still chores and I was moving pretty slow, but I guess there wasn’t quite enough calories burned yet. But despite the severe drought this year there’s so much to be thankful for that I’m just in awe at it all. We’ll survive the aftermath of the drought one way or another and when mid-May rolls around I hope it’ll be all said and done with cattle out on green lush grass. Crops growing with no lack of water in sight, what a dream after these last couple of years, (three really), what a vision to see corn taller than our largest tractor and silage boxes. Chopping down the field and the wagon runner can’t even see where in the field I’m chopping from such massive corn. The wagon driver looking for traces of diesel smoke somewhere above the field in order to get a handle on where I’m at chopping. This isn’t some wild dream, it’s just looking forward to normal days returning once again. And they will.

And all is in good health around here in our immediate family. Praise Jesus our healer! I was thinking about that today while doing morning chores and thinking about all the blessing bestowed upon us these last couple of years. You just about name it and our Lord took care of it. I won’t go down the list of direct healings in our family, but one thing is for sure, every sickness was stopped, every injury and past injuries that were diagnosed as having to be operated on have been erased from this world. Just like the Bible says. I know some won’t agree with me and that’s OK. Won’t change my mind and never will change my mind from the truth. And I have compassion for folks that don’t believe what God says about it. I used to be the same way when burdened under the yoke of man’s religion. They used to say that it was God’s will for us to have sickness. That’s theology from hell itself. (I’m writing this calm tonight, not ranting, I know on a computer a person can’t tell the difference so I figure I’d set the tone here first). These last couple of years I’ve thought allot about this subject because sickness happens to everyone sooner or later. There’s a massive system today taking billions if not trillions of dollars from just about every person in this country to support one of the most over bloated systems in the history of the earth. This is one of the major hurdles for people wanting to simplify they’re living, the slavery of medical care. It affects almost everyone that comes around to this blog. Now we call ourselves Christian, well anyway allot of reader do here but still trust the world for our ills. Some religious who say that it is the will of God that they are struck down with sickness and disease aren’t quite on track. That’s not what the Bible says. And if this would be the truth, that it’s the will of God, then when a person tries to treat the sickness or disease with doctors, herbs, whatever, they are directly going against the will of God and sinning against God and will be condemned to an eternity in hell, right? Because if it is God’s will that we are sick or crippled what right have we got to try and treat it? Anybody getting this? And how does God get glory from one of His children rotting away, unable to do the real will of God?

Truthfully, I love this subject, I love it as much as salvation. The gift of God, oh we can be so thankful this Thanksgiving for what Jesus Christ did for us, He died for every person on earth, every one, He took away there sickness, the sickness of all who believe in Him. What would happen if the church would believe God once again instead of religion? Now this isn’t some fantasy that I’m writing about tonight, this is fact. What would happen when Christians who are being drawn away from the system realize what God’s promise to them consists of? Because I can tell you, when times get rough, which they will, there’s be two things that snare a person into an anti-Christ system, I’m talking Christian believers here, food and medical care. We write about the food aspect all the time on various blogs, the getting back to the land out of the system stuff. But pretty much everyone is still hooked into the system because of medical issues. There have been many discussions on many blogs about the medical insurance issue, how it keeps one from being totally free of the system which is correct. But I’ve never seen this answer, or even proposal, “trust God”.

So if we come to accept the “fact” that the Bible promises to heal and to say otherwise would be to call God a liar, there’s a starting point. But is this just some fantasy from some fanatics? Should folks keep praying the prayer of unbelief, “if it be Thy will”. The Word says what God’s will is and it’s to heal over and over and over. And with the will of God clearly written in the Bible how can we go off in the opposite direction? Faith is the key here, belief and faith. Not dead humdrum man made religion which not only makes one a slave here on earth but afterwards also. Religion says we have to trust in man, thus Christians entangled in the world’s system to the hilt. And to try and step away from the system means, (without belief in God’s will to heal all), to live a substandard life as far as health goes. Get sick, then die, pretty Glorifying to God right?

After experiencing all that our family has experienced these last few years and seeing healings almost every week at church I’m convinced that Jesus is the same today as He was back then. This will be our position in our family, on this blog and everywhere we go, that Christ is our healer. In church there’s all sorts of sicknesses being destroyed weekly, healings of injuries that were scheduled for surgery only to have the surgeries canceled. This is becoming the norm, slowly picking up pace as belief is setting into people’s hearts and the bondage of man made religions are broken. Just like in the Bible, people are wondering about what they hear, about the healings and getting curious. Can you imagine what would happen if people would only believe God once again, how the shackles would be thrown off and how much faster many could live the simple life of their dreams. Now a person could say “Tom, but what if? Does this mean no more doctors?” I didn’t say that, all I say is just believe God for deliverance and God cannot look away or He would be a liar and all things in existence would cease to exist that very moment. Heavy huh! Well, that’s what comes out of the Word of God, He cannot lie or change His mind and do things differently later on. No, it’s right on course.

One of the biggest drawbacks in this Christian Agrarian thingy is the simple fact that so few trust God to do what He promises to do. People do not submit to God, ( and don’t think I’m anything special because it’s durn hard to submit to God, this stinking flesh!) But one just has to stop and submit, not a popular thought in modern American culture for sure.

I know this will be a post that as I said, might get me classified in the lunatic division, but that’s OK with me because it’s time to declare the truth no matter how it’s received. I’m not worried about it, but the fact that it’s Thanksgiving today has caused me to ponder some facts. And everything laid out here tonight is fact. It is God’s will to heal all, we just have to believe what He says! And believing Him is obeying Him, because how could anybody believe with their heart and then do the opposite? This has been a beautiful Thanksgiving Day out here in no where land. I wanted to write this because it’s very much on my heart to do so.
