Let Them Not Rule.

 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous (deliberate, willful) sins;
Let them not rule and have control over me. Psalm 19:13 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

There are certain inherited sins in us all as well are a fallen race.

The only way to conquer them is through the submission unto the all power of the Holy Spirit.

I know, that is the only way I beat alcoholism.

Have you ever seen a row between two folks and just before it comes to blows a friend steps between one of them and prevents him from getting into a fight? He does so because he knows the other man or woman will beat the snot out of his or her friend. The ringer is laughing at the sucker and egging them on to fight just for the perverted pleasure of fighting.

That is what the man in the above verse is saying.

Satan knows our weakness and will work on it and present it to us in an appealing manner. The temptation is too strong for us. That is when we need to call in the supreme Superman to save the day. His name is The Holy Spirit.

There have been numerous times the temptation was so great I thought my head was going to explode. I called out in desperation :” Come now Holy Spirit, please hurry or all is lost.” It may sound incredible but it is true, the temptation was immediately taken from me.

Satan drools when he sees foolish Christians think they are strong enough to resist him. They are the easiest prey.

That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Without the Holy Spirits help we all fall away from Jehovah and towards satan. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ganan (The Lord is Our Defense) for being my defense against a wily foe who can easily destroy me without You but cannot touch me with You. I give thanks in the name of He who defeated satan on the cross and at the resurrection Jesus Christ. Amen

May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Will Have No Pity For

My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will repay you for your evil ways, while your abominations are among you; and you will know (recognize, understand) [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.’ Ezekiel 7:4 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

An abomination is a extreme disgust and hatred for something or someone.

So just as any sane man or woman will be disgusted with the actions of those that belong to the devils brigade called ISIS. That is an abomination in a civilized world.

So too is homosexuality an abomination before Jehovah and He repays you for your filth (Yes I believe aids, syphilis, and gonorrhea is a result of their filthy behavior. Why else is it confined to mostly the homosexual community?).

When you steal because you are too lazy to work to support your drug habit (most times it is not an addiction it is a lifestyle choice- I have worked a lot with homeless creatures so I speak from a lot of experience).

When you are disrespectful unto your parents (you know, only using them for your ATM machine while giving them nothing in return) is an abomination unto Jehovah.

On the flip side of the coin when parents are abusing their adult children (you know, when they are live in care givers and you have the means to pay them but refuse to do so. You refuse to do so because you are being stupid and being the ATM machine to those mentioned in the preceding paragraph). That is an abomination before Jehovah.

When you use people and worship things (like the latest mobile phone or car or house) that is an abomination before Jehovah.

For each of these and all other abominations you flagrantly commit before Jehovah you shall have seven times more taken from you.

The wise repent of their wicked ways and are forgiven. The fool laughs at Jehovah and pays a very severe price. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohay Mishpat (the God of Justice!) that You always deliverer the right justice at the right time to the wicked to avenge their evil they have inflicted upon the righteous. I praise You in the name of He who is the Supreme Judge Jesus Christ. Amen

May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Why Did You Doubt?

 

Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:31 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

When we are baby Christians it is natural to doubt Christ because we have little to no experience with Him.

As we mature in our walk with Him our faith (which means trust) in Him is to grow until it is as solid as the rock we stand upon. To do otherwise is a willful act of disobedience unto Him. Now there will be times of testing. When we fail and repent the sin is forgiven.

But, the lesson will be continuously repeated until our faith is solidified so we can take the next growth in our relationship with Him.

This pattern continues all the way to our death bed when we have solid faith that He is taking us to the second Heaven ( no we will not be with Christ when we die. That only occurs after that Judgement Day. To preach that we will be in Heaven with Christ immediately after death is a lie).

To doubt Christ is a insult. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us) that You are always with me, guiding me, teaching me, protecting me and providing for me with Your immeasurable love.  May I never doubt the One I know for sure loves me more than anyone else ever could. I praise You in the name of He who walks beside me every day Jesus Christ. Amen

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

There No Longer Remains

 

For if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins Hebrews 10:26 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

When I was a teacher and a student was naughty punishment was meted out. Before the punishment was given the student would cry and promise not to commit the offence again. About ten minutes later they would do the exact same offence. They were warned again. Again they said they were sorry and would cease to be naughty. Ten minutes later they would be back at it again. This time the punishment was much more severe than the original.

So too it is with Jehovah. He will warn us when we are committing an sin willfully and deliberately against Jehovah. His anger will burn like hot coals against us and His hand shall be heavy upon us.

Just read your Bible to confirm that.

Just remember: you cannot con Jehovah.. There will be severe consequences for any fool that is stupid enough to try.

To say you are sorry for offending someone while continuing in the offence is not repentance but is the voice of a hypocrite. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Please Jehovah Ghmolah (The God of Recompense.) bless me to always be attentive to Your word, to understand Your word and to always be obedient unto Your word not just because I fear Your vengeance but also because I do not desire to receive the worse punishment of all, separation from You. When I do sin please have Your hand continuously heavy upon my soul to bring my into repentance. I humbly request this in the name of He who I cherish being so close with every day Jesus Christ. Amen

May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Introverts are Closer To.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left [the house], and went out to a secluded place, and was praying there. Mark 1:35 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

This is why I believe introverts are closer to Jehovah than extroverts.

Introverts thrive on being alone in quiet places. That is the only place to be blessed with true communion with Jehovah.

Extroverts are always busy (usually having fun) and no time to be in quiet solitude with our Beloved.

How are you to worship someone you spend little to no time with?

How are you supposed to listen to His voice if your too busy to sit quietly and listen to Him?

How are you supposed to share the wonders of His creation if you are too busy shopping or doing sports or any other activity that steal time from Him?

Us introverts thrive on solitude with Jehovah. It is the air we breathe. And, it blesses us with extreme closeness with Jehovah and His wonders. And, added benefit is that spending quiet time alone with our Beloved is good for our mental health. It melts away our anxiety, anger, worry and grief (it certainly does me) as He reassures us that everything is okay. He is taking care of it. It is good for our physical health. Because we have less stress on our minds it is beneficial for our bodies. And best of all it is fabulous for our spiritual health. Experiencing Jehovahs Divine love for us renews and strengthens our spirits.

“Solitude matters, and for some people, it’s the air they breathe” Susan Cain

Prayer: All praise and glory unto You Jehovah-‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) for blessing me with always being oh so very close with me in our cherished quiet times. They are the most special times in my life. I praise You in the name of He whom is my best friend that I delight in being with as much as possible Jesus Christ. Amen

Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing

Poured Out My Wrath On

                                   

As silver is melted in the furnace, so will you be melted in the midst of it; and you will know [without any doubt] that I the Lord have poured out My wrath on you [O Israel].’” Ezekiel 22:22 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Yes, Jehovahs patience only lasts so long. And, when it is exhausted look out. He knows how to hand out the appropriate punishment and it is severe.

If we are smart we repent of our offences and the and His heavy hand is lifted.

For the not so bright and the arrogant He delivers the ultimate punishment unto them. He turns His back on them and then His punishment will seem enjoyable compared to what transpires when He turns His back on you.

Just as you turn your back on Christ, so too will He turn His back on you. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Because Jehovah is love, it is impossible for Him to do anything bad. But, He will see disaster coming your way and will not warn you (why should He, you refuse to listen anyway).

I believe we all experience Jehovahs wrath, both those inside His family and those outside of it, After all, we are still mortals and sometimes succumb to fleshly desires. The difference is that those inside His family repent, like David did and are forgiven (although we must still suffer the consequences of our foolish actions). Those outside of the family, their lives at first slowly and then in time accelerates into complete disaster and a living Hell.

Prayer: Oh please Jehovah-Hashopet (The Lord is the supreme Judge) bless those with whom You are putting through the furnace to not abandon You less they suffer the ultimate judgement which is an eternity in damnation in Hell. I plead their case in the whose blood washes all of their filthy condemnable sins Jesus Christ. Amen

May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.

Boast in This.

                                                  

But let the one who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me [and acknowledges Me and honors Me as God and recognizes without any doubt], that I am the Lord who practices loving kindness, justice and righteousness on the earth, for in these things I delight,” says the Lord. Jeremiah 9:24 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

It irritates me to no end to listen to narcissists go on and on and on boasting about how great they are and all of their accomplishments. My patience becomes exhausted and I ask them if they believe the sun revolves around them (well, according to many mommies and grandma’s it does). They become indignant and walk away.

When I get talking with someone and the discussion comes around to where we have been in our lives and our experiences in our lives most folks are in awe of the incredible things I have done and seen and tell me so.

I just laugh and explain to them that it was Jehovah who orchestrated those events for a specific purpose. Sometimes it was to serve Him, sometimes it was to reveal His awesome beauty and majesty to me and sometimes it was just because He wanted to be alone with me and we can share quiet time in loving communion together (those are the times I like the most).

He ALWAYS receives all the glory and honour.

Of course He does, He is the one that is responsible for them. Be polite, give credit to the one deserving it. Joseph a son of Jehovah 

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Eli (The Lord my God ) for presenting me with plentiful opportunities to praise You and share the amazing things You have done in my life and through my life with others. I pray my Love that through the sharing of these events it will encourage others to come unto the Supreme God. I humbly request this in the name of He who always gave praise unto Thee Jesus Christ. Amen

Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing

When They Saw Him.

                           

And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted [that it was really He]. Matthew 28:17 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

We can see Jehovah in nature, we can see Him in other Christians and we can see Him at work in our lives when we submit to Him.

Yet, for all that, how many times do we question His existence?

That is why it is important to daily reflect back on our experiences with Him because it cements itself in our minds and memories.

Because, when we doubt His existence that is the devil whispering in our ears.

When He whispers in my ear and questions Jehovahs existence He better have a lot of time on his hands because I rattle off numerous example of His existence with pure joy, wonder and awe. I think the devil becomes rather bored of it because he quickly leaves the conversation, without even telling me. Is that not rather rude ha ha.

When the devil casts doubt about our Heavenly Beloveds existence, just remind Him of all the abundant love He has showered on you and ask him how his relationship with Jesus is going. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Shammah ( The Lord is Present) for reassuring me that You are always with this child You love so much and always delivers me from my cares. I praise Thee in the name of He who delivered on His promise to always be with His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Worry is Practical Atheism.

                                              

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

It is a disease that plagues us all. It’s name is worry.

We worry about our health, we worry about our finances, we worry about our relationships, we worry about our country. The list goes on.

When we are Christians worry is a sin. That is right, worry is a sin. It indicates we do not have faith (which means trust) in Jehovah to take care of us. Because we do not believe in His promises we are calling Jehovah a liar.

Now when we are baby Christians it is normal to have little faith because we have little experience in our walk with Christ. However, those of us that have walked with Christ for numerous years and decades that still have no trust in Him shows a lack of interpersonal relationship with Him, it is shallow.

Worry is practical atheism put into practice. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Mephalti (The Lord my Deliverer) for always delivering me from all my worries and cares. I exalt The in the name of He who fed the five thousand and delivered them from their cares in that moment Jesus Christ. Amen

May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Why are Doubts Rising?

                        

And He said, “Why are you troubled, and why are doubts rising in your hearts?” Luke 24:38 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

There have been so many times when I called out to Jehovah when trouble was near (like where am I going to get rent money – He blessed me with a contract to more than pay for all bills and put some away for a rainy day- or what is going to happen to me when I retire- He spent three hours explaining to me through Bible verses that He was going to make sure I lived a comfortable life).

Some times the answer was quick and very affirmative.

Sometimes there was waiting. Through it all He was teaching me to have faith in Him.

Just remember this Christian: Jesus loves you, Jesus cares, Jesus is always there. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Roi. You are the God who sees for blessing me that You see all my trials and tribulations. Thank you that You take the appropriate action in Your wise time in Your wise way to lovingly help me resolve the problems. I exalt Thee in the name of He who helped so many when He walked amongst us Jesus Christ. Amen.

May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
