"Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here; He has risen!"
(Luke 24:5-6)
Gracious host Arlene Williams reminds us of the true meaning of Easter,
which many Christians today acknowledge as Resurrection Sunday,
while preparing an old-fashioned holiday feast!
"Not My will but Thine."
(Luke 22:42)
And shall I pray Thee change Thy will my Father,
Until it be according to mine?
But no, Lord, no, that shall never be, rather
I pray Thee blend my human will with Thine.
I pray Thee hush the hurrying eager longing
I pray Thee soothe the pangs of keen desire.
See in my quiet places wishes thronging,
Forbid them, Lord, purge, though it be with fire.
And work in me to will and do Thy pleasure.
Let all within me, peaceful, reconciled,
Tarry content my Wellbeloved's leisure,
At last, at last, even as a weaned child.

"He who suffered in Gethsemane will be our strength and our victory too.
We may fear, we may also sink, but let us not be dismayed, and we shall
yet praise Him, and look back from a finished course, and say,
"Not one word hath failed of all the Lord hath spoken."
But in order to do this, we must, like Him, meet the conflict, not with a defiant,
but with a submissive spirit. He had to say, "Not My will, but Thine be done."
but in saying it, He gained the very thing He surrendered. So the submission
of Gethsemane is not a blind and dead submission of a heart that abandons
all its hope; but it is the free submission that bows the head, in order to
get double strength through faith and prayer.
We let go, in order that we may take a firmer hold. We give up, in order
that we may more fully receive. We lay our Isaac on Mount Moriah, and
we ask him back, no longer Isaac, but God's Isaac, and infinitely more
secure, because given back in the resurrection life."

"But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed...
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!'
"You'll never win!"
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, 'This is for My glory".
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth."
"I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will give you counsel and watch over you."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, has
become one of the most controversial government agencies in America today.
The heated debate centered around borders, crime, and national sovereignty
is being used to divide our nation, fueled by spurious accusations within the
duplicitous news media, and the political rhetoric of career politicians, many
of whom chose to look the other way when it came to the egregious abuses
committed through the previous Biden Administration's "open borders" policy.
President Donald Trump is now trying to fix the problems with immigration
which he has inherited, and is being compared to Adolf Hitler, while ICE
agents attempting to enforce the law are being compared to the Gestapo.
Meanwhile, in the state of New Jersey, residents were told by
newly-elected Governor Mikie Sherrill that if they see ICE activity
in their area to "report it" to local or state government officials.
Governor Sherrill claims she wants to keep New Jersey residents "safe"
but what she is really doing is encouraging people to break the law
by obstructing ICE from doing their job.
In this episode of FORGOTTEN HISTORY, host Mike Droberg, himself a son
of immigrants, breaks down how ICE was created after the terror attacks
on September 11th, 2001 and how immigration enforcement actually works.
