With Those Who Created It

The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Psalm 19:1The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

I do not know which place I love to sit with my Beloved Poppa, Jehovah, my most special friend, Jesus and my most amazing mentor, The Holy Spirit.

Have you ever laid in a tent in the desert at night when there is not a sound? The stars look so close it feels as if you can reach up and touch them.

Have you ever sat on the shore of an ocean and looked at the stars? It looks as if the night sky, the stars and the ocean all melt into one. It is an incredible sight to witness.

Have you ever sat in the forest at night in the winter when there is not a sound to be heard and gaze up into the night sky a been mesmerized by the stars incredible beauty? The only word I can ever say to describe it is Wow.

The thing that makes each of these majestic creations to awesome is that they are being share with the ones I love the most: Jehovah, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. It is the most loving, extraordinary escapade I have ever had.

I do not know which place I love to sit with my Beloved Poppa, Jehovah, my most special friend, Jesus and my most amazing mentor, The Holy Spirit but I do know that they are what makes it so special.

“The most universally awesome experience that mankind knows is to stand alone on a clear night and look at the stars.” J. I. Packer

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for blessing me with so many opportunities to share special time with you in Your special places. I praise You in the name of He with whom I love to share time with in Your wonderful creation, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share in the wondrous beauty of the night sky with those who created it and that love you more than you can ever imagine. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Wonderful Secret Places

“My love speaks and says to me, ‘Get up, my love, my beautiful one, and come with me. For see, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone. The flowers are coming through the ground. The time for singing has come. The voice of the turtle-dove has been heard in our land. The fig tree has its fruits. The flowers on the vines spread their sweet smell. Get up, my love, my beautiful one, and come with me! O my dove, hidden in the rock, in the secret place in the mountain-side, let me see you. Let me hear your voice. For your voice is sweet, and you are beautiful. Song of Solomon 2:10-14 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version

Prayer: Thank you my cherished Father Jehovah Bore (Isaiah 40:28 The LORD Creator ) for blessing me with so many wonderful secret places in Your creation where the two of us can be alone while drinking in the beauty and wonder of Your creation.

It is here that we share the most intimate conversations.

It is here that we are the closest.

It is here with You that I experience the closest thing in Heaven except the real thing.

I thank You for this treasured gift in the name of He who was there when it was created 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

Thank You Jehovah El SIMCHAH GIYL

We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes 2 Peter 1:16 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

I have seen it many times, have you?

The Bible says that Jehovah reveals His splendor through nature.

Here are a few tips to experience it.

To begin with, ask Him to reveal Himself to you. The best times to experience Jehovahs glory is at sunrise and sunset.

Find a nice quiet place, that is safe, relax and enjoy the scenery. When you do, He will open your eyes to His awesome majesty.

Watch a snowfall as each individual snowflake preforms a delicate ballet to the ground, then watch as they all wonderfully choreograph together.

Ask Jehovah to take you to a place where He wants you to experience His beauty, then go there, relax and enjoy the show. It is most certainly better than anything on TV, or in the movies or any computer games.

Nature is Jehovahs beautiful gift to us to reveal His splendor and majesty to us. It is the best place to be bless with a close intimate conversation with Him. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El SIMCHAH GIYL (God my Exceeding Joy John 15:11 ) for blessing me with the greatest gift that can be shared, spending time with You in Your beautiful creation. I love all the beauty, majesty, and choreography You show my in the simplest yet most exquisite creations. As well, I cherish the time spent with You. I exalt You in the name of He with whom I love to walk with in Your creation, Jesus Christ. Amen

May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah

A Mind and Spirit That Is

Please bless me with the strength to accomplish the tasks You have prepared for me to do this day.

I Believe in Christian Evolution.

Here is the reason why I believe in Christian evolution: Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

This transformation takes filthy men and women and transforms them into beautiful children of Jehovah.

It transforms addicts into Jehovahs children.

It transforms the strongest atheists into solid children of Jehovah.

You name the sin and Jesus’ blood transforms that sinner into a loving obedient child of Jehovah.

Now this is not done in the flash of a moment. No, it takes a lifetime of commitment to Jehovahs teaching and surrendering of our will unto His will.

This process does not end at Heavens Gate but continues on in our Heavenly home.

You are in a lifetime evolution when you become a Christian going from a dirty clump of clay to a beautiful work of art. Joseph a son of Jehovah

PRAYER: Thank you Jehovah Bore (Isaiah 40:28) The LORD Creator for being so persistent with this tough lumpy blob of clay and evolving me into the beautiful creation You intended me to be. I exalt You in the name of He whose love is the most beautiful creation that is constantly evolving in my heart 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. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The Pineapple or the Jimsonweed?

 

  Your adornment must not be merely external—with interweaving and elaborate knotting of the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or [being superficially preoccupied with] dressing in expensive clothes; but let it be [the inner beauty of] the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, [one that is calm and self-controlled, not overanxious, but serene and spiritually mature] which is very precious in the sight of God. 1 Peter 3:3-4 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Every time I see these poor souls mutilate their bodies with tattoos or put piercings all over their bodies that make them look like freaks in a side show it makes me want to cry. They are shallow creatures who do this to draw attention to themselves. They are screaming out: “ Look at me, look at me.!”

The same can be said for those that use excessive makeup to make themselves look like whores and are proud of it.

What type of man are you attracting to yourself and guess what he wants from you?

I believe it is an insult to Jehovah.

Jehovah made you the way you are and it is beautiful in His eyes. When you mutilate your body to look like a freak you are saying that you think Jehovah has made junk and you have made it better. What a shame, what a disgrace.

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

I have seen beauty queens that are real Jimsonweed with their personalities. Jimsonweed  is a small beautiful flower that when digested leads to the ultimate slow agonizing death. So too it is being with them. They are beautiful on the outside but on the inside they are cruel, cold hearted, selfish, and self centered.

I have been with Plane Janes who are not much to look at but have a heart but whose heart is sweet like a pineapple and is good for the soul as pineapples are good for the bodies health.

Which one are you?

If you are the jimsonweed be fair warned the time will come when you will be forced to digest you own vile venom. If you are a pineapple you will be blessed with those who are pineapples around you .

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Bara (The Lord Creator) for creating a special pineapple in my heart to nourish and heal those of the world. Please weed out any jimsonweed that begins to poison my heart and choke out the pineapple. I exalt You in the name of He who spoke the most spiritually nourishing and healing words ever Jesus Christ. Amen.

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

All Men have Seen.

 All men have seen God’s work Job 36:25 Holy Bible Amplified Version

Whenever anyone of these so called atheists challenge me to prove there is a God I humbly ask them to spend a day with me.

We will spend it in Gods Cathedral ( nature ).

This can be by a quiet little stream ,in the forest , in a meadow, by the shores of a lake or ocean.

I ask them to close their eyes and take a deep breath. After a few of these they are asked to slowly open their eyes. Then Jehovah reveals Himself to them through the serenade of the wild birds, the singing of the waves as they caress the shore, the beautiful gentle dance of wildflowers in the meadow or the hypnotic soft sway of trees as they preform natures ballet just like the wild flowers do, or look at the clouds as they dance across the sky.

They will drink in the intoxicating fragrance of the wildflowers or the musky scent from the forest. They feel the tender warmth of the sun as it wraps itself around them like a comforting warm blanket on a cold day.

They feel the delicate breeze softly caress them.

In the end they are at one with Jehovah being relaxed and at peace with themselves and the world.

The closer you get to nature, the closer you get to Jehovah. Joseph- Anthony; Green.

The question then is asked if they have experienced Jehovah now. Most will look at me with an expression of awe and wonderment like little children. Later of course the majority will deny this and flippantly mock it saying it was just nature that created this experience not a fairy tale creation in the sky.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bara (The Lord Creator) for blessing me with opening my eyes to all the awesome wonders that You have lovingly created that exists all around me every moment of every day. Please bless me with the wisdom to reveal this to those who are walking blindly of Your majesty. I exalt Thee in the name of He who was there with You in the begging of this incredible creation Jesus Christ. Amen.

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

Joy to the Heart.

The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. Psalm 19:8 New International Version

Precepts: a rule that says how people should behave Merriam Webster Dictionary

Radiant: having or showing an attractive quality of happiness, love, health, etc.  Merriam Webster Dictionary

The laws of Jehovah are right and they bring joy to our hearts when we are obedient unto them. This is because there is no doubt or guilt about our actions. He guides us in our interactions with others. This is all encompassing including our families, classmates, co-workers and everybody else in society. When we ask for Divine action in every aspect of our community He guides us in the proper etiquette to be taken.

The benefits of this are that there is a lot of peace in our lives instead of hate, resentment, bitterness anger and self pity. There is a lot less depression in our lives because we have the gentle strong love of Christ saturating our hearts blessing us with Divine peace. There is a lot less confusion in our lives because He guides us with Holy inspiration which is the ultimate in Holy Guidance.

As well, they bring us into closer communion with Him.

When we begin to obey Jehovahs commands in every aspect of our lives with our relationship with Him He opens our eyes to the right path to take in every aspect of our lives that is pleasing unto Him. He guides us in how to obey him, how to worship Him and how to love Him.

Radiant: having or showing an attractive quality of happiness, love, health, etc.  Merriam Webster Dictionary

The end result in this is a life filled with love, joy, mental and physical health (yes we suffer health problems just like those in the world but we have the rock solid foundation of His love, joy and wisdom in or hearts which emulates unto others) gracefulness, meekness and humbleness. This quality is rewarded with bringing in others who are receptive to desiring such a Heavenly relationship in their lives.

When we have the glow of Jehovahs love in our hearts we emit a glowing love for the dark world to see. Joseph- Anthony: Green

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher) for Your amazing wisdom that creates a heart that blossoms with peace, love and joy in my life and in our eternal loving relationship. I exalt You in the name of my most Beloved big brother Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the love, joy and peace of Jesus bless you today and every day.

He is Awesome.

Come and see the works of God; He is awesome. Psalm 66:5 New King James Version

When I was working on an oil rig one winter in the far north we had the awesome experience of being surrounded by the Northern Lights. They just seemed to perform a deathly quiet gentle ballet all around us.

It was truly awesome.

Who do you think created those magnificent lights?

Jehovah did.He is truly awesome.

When I bicycled through a desert in Southern California it seemed as if the stars were so close to me I could reach out and touch them. It felt as if I was in space floating around them.

It was truly awesome.

Who do you think created all those stars?

Jehovah God did. He is truly awesome.

In the morning it was as quiet as a morgue. The red buttes seemed like long fingers of blood slowly reaching out to me.

It was truly awesome.

Who do you think created all those buttes?

Jehovah God did. He is truly awesome.

When camping in the Baja in Mexico every evening the sun would just hang in the sky and then slowly drift behind an island out to sea. The sea became a kaleidoscope of brilliant colours.

It was truly awesome.

Who do you think created all those buttes?

Jehovah God did. He is truly awesome.

When in Hong Kong I saw the sunrise slowly above some islands out at sea. The waves were like soft gentle waves of brilliant a kaleidoscope. It felt as if it was drawing me in to them.

It was truly awesome.

Who do you think created all those waves and the sun?

Jehovah God did. He is truly awesome.

After an ice storm I love to walk through the forest when the sun comes out. The branches glisten like diamonds and the forest is eerily quiet with the only sound being your foot steps crunching the ice covered ground.

It was truly awesome.

Who do you think created those ice crystals and the sun?

Jehovah God did. He is truly awesome.

In the spring time I love to walk through cheery or apple orchards in the early morning. The sweet delicate fragrance of the blossoms is truly intoxicating.

It was truly awesome.

Who do you think created those blossoms?

Jehovah God did. He is truly awesome.

Are you beginning to get the picture?

I could go on and on but time is limited.

If you desire to see Jehovah’s awesomeness go where He abundantly exhibits it, in His creation, nature.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Bara (The Lord Creator) for blessing me with sharing many of Your awesome creations with me so I can witness Your magnificence, beauty and power. I praise You in the name of He who there with You during this awesome creation Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.

You are a Masterpiece.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 New King James Version

When we accept Christ as our King He begins a process of burning off the dross in our lives that lasts until we reach our Heavenly home. Burning off the dross it the process where the Holy Spirit through life’s circumstances of trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares burns off the undesirable traits in your life to make you acceptable unto Jehovah. We all have numerous undesirable traits which we inherited from our fleshy parents. They must be burned off to make us acceptable to our Heavenly Father. To be sure they are neither fun nor enjoyable. So those who in this world are only interested in having fun and not interested in suffering need not apply. You will not last.  Most times you are not even aware of the changes the Holy Spirit is weaving into the very core of your life but those around you will for sure see it. You are slowly becoming a new beautiful creation in Christ. You are a masterpiece in the making that is unique.

Jehovah does not make junk. Joseph- Anthony: Green

During this process your Devine purpose will be revealed to you. It need not be something big and important like going overseas to be a missionary in the jungle. It may be doing volunteer work in a hospital, visiting seniors in seniors homes, helping in the soup kitchen or food bank or any other numerous Devine assignment. Do not believe yours is less important in Jehovahs eyes or that you are too young or old.

There is no small act of love that is not great in Heaven. Joseph- Anthony: Green

You may have one calling or you may have many. Your calling can change over time. I have had four callings so far in my walk with Christ. The first one was preparing me for the second one. The second one was preparing me for the third and fourth one.

We all have a job to do in Jehovahs kingdom, there is no retirement nor unemployment. Joseph- Anthony: Green

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Jireh  (God is our Provider) for blessing me with oh so many awesome opportunities to serve You in my walk with You and the amazing way in which You have molded this hard lumpy clay into a beautiful vessel of Yours. I exalt You in the name of the Master Potter Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.
