A Gratifying Thanksgiving

On this day of giving thanks, we can be gratified. Not in the plundering of turkey or other gourmet delights but in the knowledge that Jesus, God in flesh, took the full punishment for the sins of our flesh, accomplishing what no other work or sacrifice ever could and offering salvation to us. Jesus gave up his Spirit on the cross, but God freely gives His Holy Spirit to all who believe (Ephesians 1:14).

 This grace moves our hearts into true thanksgiving, it makes possible the total and complete fulfilment of our souls by restoring that eternal longing to be next to our savior.   When we walk by the Spirit by acknowledging our true identities, Thanksgiving Day, and every day, we do not need to gratify the flesh, because our spirits have tasted the Bread of Life and the Living Water.

This is Steve and until we meet again, I urge you to Press On by asking the Savior to quench your eternal longing.

  • Red Pill or Blue Pill Part III: Abiding

    20:59|
    Have you noticed how—especially here in the Western world—we crave simplicity and speed?“3 Easy Steps to Lose Weight.”“6 Secrets to a Happy Marriage.”“12 Steps to Financial Freedom.”We’re drawn to whatever promises quick results with minimal discomfort. But when it comes to the Kingdom of God—especially when it comes to seeing with spiritual eyes—it doesn’t work that way. There are no shortcuts. No life hacks. Because spiritual sight doesn’t come through information—it comes through transformation.It’s born in the presence of God. It grows through abiding. And it matures in those who linger with Him when others move on.Today, in Part III of Do You Want the Red Pill or the Blue Pill, Steve shares his personal journey into this kind of sight—not as a formula, but as a relationship. A life lived close to God, where clarity comes not through steps, but through staying.But let me say this—What you’ll hear today is more than reflection.It’s preparation. Because in Part IV, we’ll begin to explore why this kind of vision is so urgently needed. Why Jesus warned us about the Days of Noah...and why only those who truly abide will recognize what’s happening in our time.But for now, let’s begin where all true sight begins:In His presence.
