I Will Put a New

“I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart.” Ezekiel 36:26 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Those in the world have hearts of stone towards Jehovah because they are so enraptured with worshiping themselves. They do not see the filth of their wicked ways, they only see entitlement.

The Holy Spirit is the ultimate heart surgeon.

It is with precision that He removes all the blockage in our hearts to loving Jehovah more that loving ourselves. He is an expert and replacing these obstructions with pure arteries that pump Divine spiritual blood through out our spirit.

The difference between a human heart surgeon and the Holy Spirit is that the heart surgeon accomplishes His work in a matter of hours where as the Holy Spirits operation lasts all the way until we reach total purity in our spiritual heart in Heaven home. The more He operates on us the more the ways of the world are detestable unto us and the more communion with Jehovah is our utmost desire.

When you become a Christian, the filthy desires of the world are repugnant to you and are replaced with the desires of Jehovah, Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Ori (the Lord is my Light) that Your Divine light has burned off the filthy dross of the world and replaced it with fantastic desires which is in harmony with You. I exalt You in the name of the light of the world Jesus Christ. Amen

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

Let Us Also Work for It

 And He did this to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service. Ephesians 4:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

I remember when being a tutor in China oh so many times a Chinese would come to me and beg me to help them pass an exam so they could get a visa to Canada. When I asked them when they exam was, most times their reply was in a month. As their level of English was very low they were informed that it would take a lot of work but could be accomplished. Their reaction was that as the teacher that was my responsibility. In other words, they expected me to do all the work while they put minimal effort into the task. Of course they failed miserably and of course their reaction was always they same. They blamed me.

How many have the same attitude towards Jehovah.

Say there is going to be a test at school. Instead of studying for the test the night before you fervently pray for Jehovah to give you the knowledge to pass the test. When you fail you cry baby to Jehovah that it is His fault when in reality it is your own fault for being so lazy and irresponsible.

Here is the way it works properly.

Sometimes Jehovah will do the work for you because the task is too great. This is to reveal His power and wisdom to us which brings praise, respect and adoration.

Sometimes we have to work in conjunction with the Holy Spirit. This is to teach us to put forward and effort while trusting in the Holy Spirits guidance, no matter how unconventional it is.

Sometimes Jehovah provides the tools but we have to do the work. This is to teach us to take responsibility and to teach us to have confidence in the skills Jehovah has blessed us with.

“Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.” — Jeremy Taylor

Prayer: Thank you ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able) for blessing me with being able to determine which form of work is necessary for me to accomplish the task You have assigned for me to do in my privilege of being my Beloved King Jesus in Heavens free will servant. I exalt You in His magnificent name. Amen

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

At the Grocery Store.

On my morning walk today I went to the grocery store. I did not want to go because it is usually very busy but there was a prodding feeling to go. I was blessed that there was a nice roast on mark down and no line ups at the grocery store. Usually there is at least a twenty minute wait and I hate being in crowds.

From there I felt a prodding to go to the Farmers Market and was blessed that the lady that sells me organic honey had just two jars left which is exactly what I wanted to get. I forgot that I was out of honey until putting the jars away at home.

After that I walked to a discount store at the other end of town and was prodded into going in. I looked at some stores in the mall where the grocery store for a watch and could not find anything less than twenty dollars and refused to pay that much. At the discount store there was a really good one for two dollars in the sports section. While there there was a small but powerful light that can be used in the Tabernacle when it is dark to read and write, again for just two dollars.

Finally, during the last stretch of the five mile walk I stopped for a rest in the park. While resting on a bench these swans came and preformed a beautiful ballet for me while song birds were serenading them. Wow, that was so beautiful of a blessing.

Prayer; Thank you Jehovah (El Deah God of knowledge) for blessing me with the knowledge to go where You were prodding me to go. Being obedient unto You brought such wonderful blessings to me today.

Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.

Do you see the difference ?

 The [presence of the] Lord was going before them by day in a pillar (column) of cloud to lead them along the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, so that they could travel by day and by night. Exodus 13:21 The Holy Bible Amplified Version There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit]. Acts 2:3 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Do you see the difference between the old and the new?

In the Old Testament Jehovah lead them by a light at night but He lead as a group

. In the New Testament Jehovah sends the Holy Spirit to the individual.

Now we do not have tongues of fire come upon us when we accept Christ as our Saviour and dedicate our lives to Him as our Divine King but, we do have the Holy Spirit dwell with in us. He speaks to us individually. Of course He uses other methods such as preaching and signs and wonders but it is through Him that He blesses us with insight into how this concerns our walk with Christ.

Jehovah knows you so He knows how to reveal Himself to You in a way in which you will understand. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Shammah ( The Lord is Present) for blessing me with the privilege of having The Holy Spirit dwell with in me. He is the ever present comforter, encourager, teacher, guidance councillor and strengthener. With out Him it would have been impossible for You to accomplish all the amazing feats You have and continue to do in my life and through my life. I exalt You in the name of He with whom look forward to dwelling with in Heaven, Jesus Christ. Amen.

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

It is Unbeatable.

 For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Every time I get in a debate, whether with a member of Jehovahs family or of those which belong to satans, I quote a Bible verse. Then it is explained what it meant in the culture of the day, in my life and how to put it in application in my life. It is unbeatable.

Now I love it when a Christian does the same with me because it expands my knowledge and help me improve my life.

For those that desire to remain in walking with satan to Hell, I have seen them scream like an insane banshee and run away.

For those who are open to the message it opens their eyes. Sometimes they want to learn more. Sometimes they walk away and digest what has been shared with them and come back later, eager to learn more and to begin a commitment to becoming a member of Jehovahs family.

That is why it is imperative that we study our Bibles under the tutorship of the Holy Spirit.

“Defend the Bible? I would just as soon defend a lion. Just turn the Bible loose. It will defend itself.” — Charles H. Spurgeon

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emet (God of truth) for blessing me with the revelation of the supreme truth in Your Holy book. It is my defender, instruction for life manual and reassurer of Your love and the Heavenly home You have prepared for me. I praise You in the name of He who only spoke the truth to us during His earthly ministry Jesus Christ. Amen

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

He Has Not Learned

 While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. Romans 5:6 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

When first baptized by the Holy Spirit I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that there was repeated attempts at attempts to serve Christ to prove worthy of His gift. Yes some of them succeeded but there was a feeling that something was left out. That something was slowly revealed to me by The Holy Spirit that it does not matter how much service committed unto Christ it is not good enough.

It is a gift given and we are to appreciate the gift.

Try living by the Ten Commandments for a day and see how far you fall short of living the life prescribed by Jehovah of the ancient Israelite’s.

“If any man ascribes anything of salvation, even the very least thing, to the free will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ rightly” Martin Luther

So, if you are attempting to make yourselves worthy of Christs sacrifice by service before warned. It is meaningless to Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Now, once you have become a servant of Christ He will have specific work work you to do in His kingdom. That is done out of love and respect for our Heavenly King, not out of obligation for the sacrifice made.

Prayer: Thank you Jesus M’Kaddesh (The Lord is my Sanctifier) for the horrible, agonizing sacrifice You paid on the cross to sanctify me in our Heavenly Fathers presence. I praise You in Your most awesome name. Amen

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

The Tragedy of Life

For I know that the Lord is great Psalm 135:5 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

The longer we walk with Christ, the more we get to know Him (although, we will never really get to know everything about Him because there is just too much of Him to ever have the time to learn it all).

The more we get to know Him the greater He becomes to us. This greatness it exhibited in His love, power, wisdom and provision of which there is none to compare. \

“The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.” William Barclay  

Jehovah reveals Himself to us in many wonderful and awesome ways every day. Because of this revelation we should be drawn towards Him and the deeper the desire to obey Him. After all, it is because He loves us that He wants the best for us.

Therefore, should we not follow the advice of the all knowing God to direct every aspect of our lives?

The reason fools reject Jehovah is because of arrogance and greed. The advice Jehovah blesses them with does not suit what they selfishly desire in their lives so they foolishly reject it and arrogantly follow their own thoughts (which are influenced by the world around then and he who influences the world is satan) to attain what they greedily want. The end result of this pathetic attempt is a worthless life with a huge hole in their heart because that can only be filled with Jehovahs love (which He only blesses those who belong to Him with).

There is no such thing as atheist, there is only intentional idiots. Joseph a son of Jehovah      

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah GELAH RAZ (Revealer of Mysteries) for all of the amazing ways in which You reveal the mystery of You to me. It is truly awesome the manner in which You reveal Your majesty, wisdom, love and compassion. I exalt You in the name of Your awesome Son Jesus Christ. Amen

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

In a Moment

 They In a moment they die Job 34:20 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

In my early twenties I had my life all planned out. Needless to say none of it came to fruition. There were however a few times when but by the grace of Jehovah I would have died.

We know not when, we know not where, we know not how, but we all know we will die. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Realizing this, there was a foolish attempt to get all the gusto there was out of the here and now because tomorrow I could be dead. This was a frustrating occurrence because everything attempted left me with a feeling of incompleteness, like something was missing. Over time the truth came to me that what was missing to make my life complete and meaningful was a loving obedient relationship with Jehovah. There have been many close encounters with death since then.

Then came an experience of what life would be like after death when I lived my life without Christ. Needless to say, it was not pleasant.

Another experience showed me what life will be like after death when my life has been lived in an obedient loving relationship with Christ. Wow, there are no words to describe it but I can tell you this: I look forward to death because there is nothing here that can compare to being with Christ. That does not mean I am suicidal because I know that Christ has work for me here to do until HE chooses to take me home and I am dedicated to preforming my duties to the utmost for Him out my love for Him.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed. Wayne Dyer

Prayer:Thank you Jesus Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) for the honour of being Your humble servant and with the guarantee of spending eternity with the one with whom I love the most: You my Beloved Heavenly Father and my Wise Teacher. It is a destiny I yearn for oh so deeply. I praise You in Your wonderful name. Amen.

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

The Trail Blessings.

 

 Today I have received numerous blessings on the daily hike.

The first one was beautiful weather to go for a long hike.

Instead of going one of the normal routes the Lord directed me to a different route. While walking along the asphalt walkway there was a saying spray painted upon the pavement that was eye catching. It was photographed to be used later for this blog.

Then , the Lord guided me to a small trail up a hill. On top of the hill there was a view of the raised gardens built by some of my detractors that laughed at the design the Lord instilled upon me to build for our raised garden. Upon inspecting it, it was discovered to be all falling apart (while the Lords design is still as good as new. Both were built at the same time).

I then returned to the main trail and continued on my way.    

A short while later the Lord guided me to take a little side street. At the end of that side street, there was another side street. At the end of that side street was a trail. The trail was oh so beautiful with quaint little bridges along petite creeks. It was so beautiful. I had walked this route numerous times and never saw this trail.

As the walk continued along the main route which took me into a bush. At one point there is a resting place beside a quiet little rapids where I usually rest. The Lord opened my eyes to a little trail I never noticed before. There, along the trail was a pile of discarded patio stones in mint condition that can be used for the flower garden which will be retrieved in the spring. I know the owner of the land and he has previously informed me any treasures found back there were mine if I wanted them (that is where some of the materials to build the Lords raised garden came from). Finally, on the other side of the creek is a pile of pressure treated lumber that has been thrown out that, again, can be used in the spring for garden projects.

I find it amazing just what folks throw out.

It is funny when others ask me where I got the building material and they are informed. They think Ia am crazy but I believe in using everything to its most potential.

Jehovah supplies our tomorrows in ways as unusual as He does our todays. It causes us to marvel at Him all the more. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh (God my provider) for blessing me with numerous provisions today that will be used for future projects that I know You have in store for me to accomplish in conjunction with the Holy Spirit, this spring. You constantly amaze me my Love. I praise You in the name of He who fed the four thousand Jesus Christ. Amen

Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.

Will Guide Them

 The integrity and moral courage of the upright will guide them, But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them. Proverbs 11:3 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

I have experienced in my own personal life the benefits of having Godly integrity. Integrity means adherence to moral and ethical principals and being honest. The best place to learn and incorporate integrity is in the Bible under the tutorship of the Holy Spirit. He has never led me wrong.

Yes many times it seemed as if I was standing alone against an overwhelming strong number but stood my ground.

I may not have gained physically but certainly gained tremendously in my relationship with my Heavenly Beloved (which is all that matters to me).

Yes most times it took courage but it also took the power of the Holy Spirit to help me have the strength and fortitude to stand upon the rock of righteousness when all was against me. We have all heard the saying:short term pain for long time gain.

As well I have witnessed the opposite. Short term gain for long time loss. I have witnessed many treacherous folks take unscrupulous means to get gain only to lose it all and suffer worse than when they began when the time of righteousness comes a calling.

I take the high ground because it ultimately leads to Heaven. All others lead to Hell. Joseph a son of Jehovah.

Prayer:Thank you Jehovah-Tsidkenu (The Lord is Righteousness) for blessing me with Your wise tutorship to learn and incorporate into my life Your Divine integrity. It has blessed me with avoiding much pain and sorrow in my life and has brought me ever closer to You as You continue to instruct me in the path of righteousness. I exalt You in the name of He who always walked in righteousness Jesus Christ. Amen.

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