Benjamin Baruch is the speaker’s website. In this interview he talks about how often prophecy has a two times occurrence and gives examples. He also talks about the USA in bible prophecy and how quickly the nation will fall. Possibly the most interesting thing though is about a word Jesus spoke to him about His 7 year ministry of which we have only seen 3 1/2 years so far. This one was off the charts in resonating with me; both in giving me new things to think about and in some areas reaffirming things we are currently experiencing making clear their meanings and their place in bible prophecy.
Background info: Michael Basham is Don Basham’s grandson. I knew Don and sat under his ministry whenever and wherever possible in the 1960-1970s timeframe. Don Basham was closely connected with the ministry of Derek Prince and Charles Simpson — all gifted bible teachers. Michael is on facebook here. We recently connected there and he frequently does livestream interviews called ‘SpiritWars’ there.
This is a wonderous holiday. It lacks the commercial spin of some of the other holidays. It is a time for getting together with family and friends and remembering the One who made us; the One we are here to serve with thanksgiving in our hearts. May we bless Him and be blessed in the process.
Here is how one of our founding fathers set apart the day in 1789:
THANKSGIVING DAY 1789
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
– A PROCLAMATION
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor – and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”
.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be – That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks – for his kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation – for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war –for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed – for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions – to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually – to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed – to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord – To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and Us – and generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.
This year a general theme for me has been proclamation. It is important what we think. It is important what we say outloud. It is important how we say it and when we say it and how often we say it. If we are really serious about a matter, we repeat it. If we are asking our children to do something, we repeat it until it happens. If we want something from the king (or Congress), we keep bringing up the matter until it occurs. Please consider reading some of these verses around your dinner table and proclaim His word to your family and friends!
Some scriptures about Thanksgiving for you to proclaim:
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
—Psalm 9:1
The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who orders his way rightly
I will show the salvation of God!”
—Psalm 50:23
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
—Psalm 92:1
Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!
—Psalm 97:12
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
—Psalm 100:4
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
—Psalm 105:1-2
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Oklahoma Heritage Farm is located near Vera between Bartlesville and Tulsa on Highway 75. It is the homeplace, family farm, store and project of Mike and Margaret Snow. Recently an article was written about them by Susan Albert in Bartlesville Examiner Enterprise.

Mike and Margaret Snow are carrying on the lifestyle of their five-generation family. Like their parents and grandparents before them, they work the soil, grow the crops, raise the farm animals and provide for themselves.
We were “self-sustaining” before the term became popular, Margaret Snow said.
With the Oklahoma Heritage Farm Store, situated on acreage south of Ramona off U.S. Highway 75, the Snows have opened up their home and farm as a way to share the wealth of homegrown heirloom produce, homemade goodies and gifts and decor that depict the diverse heritage of Oklahoma.
“We feel like we live the good life and want to share that with people,” said Snow, who acknowledged they work long hours in the garden, she cooks every day, and they don’t have a computer in their home.
“We love to work,” she said. “We’re not non-progressive; we like it that way.”
They grow heirloom varieties — the same seed they sell in the store, and they grow it as organically as possible. They sell what is in season from their own backyard and don’t bring in any produce from other vendors. Right now it’s the early vegetables and greens, she said. Later, they will have summer vegetables plus fruit.
What they don’t sell from the garden they preserve — in a jar, in the freezer or in a dehydrator. The Snows also give away a lot of produce to the church, neighbors or elderly who may need fresh produce.
The store has added a new jewelry line featuring ‘Dorinda’s Dabblings’ shared recently on facebook here >>>
A selection of essential oils from doTERRA are also available there at the store. If you don’t see what you need, ask about it!
Fresh produce is available daily and local honey and homemade breads and so much more.
The latest buzz is all the preparation for the Fall Festival…Talk about excitement!
The maze for the fall festival is now a reality, all 7 acres of it. Preparations for the Fall Festival scheduled for late Sept. thru Oct. are in full swing. There is a whole slate of things to do to get ready so they are in festival mode from now until it opens in September. Watch for all the details coming soon including the dates & times the festival will be open, rates, group scheduling, & a list of events.
This festival will be full of real old fashioned family fun with lots of activities. It will be educational too, as we share the story of Oklahoma’s rich history.
We have a great opportunity for grassroots activists to get together again – rehash memories, tell stories, talk victories and defeats. A great way for us to stay connected. Many will be in OKC for the OKGOP state convention and we’d like to get together – you know, get the band back together, so to speak for the evening.
When: Friday, May 13th at 6:30 PM
Where: Old Surety Life Insurance, 5201 N Lincoln Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73105
