Shone the Brightest In

It was in my darkest moments that Gods love shone the brightest in my heart. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

There are Those Times

There are those times that come along,
When things just don’t go right,
When fairness seems to slip away,
And wrong things fill our sight.

Sometimes it’s hard for us to see,
Beyond the hurt we feel.
It’s hard to see the blessings too,
And know that they are real.

Because the heavy loads you have
Weigh more at times like these,
I ask if I may carry too,
And offer with a “Please?”

I want to make a difference though,
To bring a smile this day,
And maybe if by writing this,
A smile will come your way.

So hold your chin up strong and proud,
‘Cause it’s the thing to do,
And know that I’ll be standing near,
Because I love you!

Your best friend

Jesus

The Flame Thrower of Love

Satan is using the abuse suffered by a tormentor to extinguish Jesus’ light of love and fill it with dark hate. I pray for the Holy Spirit to be the flame thrower of love to destroy satan’s dark matter in our hearts. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Is All You Need.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you Matthew 5:44 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Prayer: Please Jesus bless me with Your grace to forgive those who have abused me so that I am blessed with Your love, joy and peace. In this manner I will be able to serve you better, especially while encountering the wicked ones that love to torment me.

Please bless me to always reply with a gentle answer to extinguish the fires of hate and rage in those I encounter.

Please bless me to always behave in a loving manner to those who are hurt or are unlovable.

May this bless them that through Your grace through me it will bring them unto repentance.

Please Jehovah Jireh ( God will supply ) bless me with Your precious love, joy and peace so that I am be able to serve Jesus by serving others with love, joy, patience, self- control, wisdom and compassion.

I humbly request this in the name of The Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you. indeovi vas ( may you live with Jesus in Latin )

Seleh- stop and think about it.

You Will Always

For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. 2 Corinthians 7:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

The last sentence pierced my heart with great sorrow.

I know someone who is suffering greatly mentally, physically and spiritually every day.

All of her life she has been a user and abuser. She loved to cause fights. She just used and abused men and women. Now, she is old and her body is all broken down and she needs help.

Jesus sent His servant home to take care of her and she did nothing but abuse him and laugh about it.

Now, she is in constant pain.

Godly men and women have tried to get her to repent and stop it but she refuses to even admit her wicked deeds. I know the Lord has spoken to her in dreams and in sermons.

Again she just ignores Him as she did the others.

Jesus’ patience has run out for her.

But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. Romans 1:18–20The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

A catastrophe will strike you suddenly,  one for which you are not prepared. Isaiah 47:11 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

About three years ago her health took a nose dive and she has been suffering every day.

Yet, she still, refuses to repent.

Her son feels no sympathy for her because she showed no sympathy towards him and indeed made jokes about his suffering which she caused.

Warning: be careful of the seeds you sow tomorrow because you will indeed be eating the harvest of them.

Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Galatians 6:7 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ghmolah ( The God of Recompense. Ezekiel 7:9 ) for paying back the wicked for the vile deeds which they delighted in causing the innocent to suffer. I praise You in the name of The Supreme Judge, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you. indeovi vas ( may you live with Jesus in Latin )

Seleh- stop and think about it.

Most Christians Refuse to Live By

To turn the other cheek means to forgive but it does not give license to allow the abuse to continue.

If the offender refuses to repent then have nothing to do with them.

Most Christians refuse to live by the second part which is just as important as the first.

Most abusers use the first part to absolve themselves of responsibility for their actions. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

I Depend Very Heavily Upon

Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Psalms 4: 4 The Holy Bible The New Living Version

Being a live in care giver for a narcissistic mother I depend very heavily upon The Holy Spirit to alert me to whenever this little devil is trying to intentionally push my buttons to get me angry.

Then, she cry babies to others that I am abusive towards her.

If anybody is considering becoming a care giver my advice to you is: DON;T DO IT !! You will be used and abused like no other experience.

This comes not just from my life in Hell but from talking with many other care givers

Fortunately this is a small town so most people know she is a abusive, ungrateful, selfish narcist.

Instead of fuming over her abuse The Holy Spirit soothes my spirit with memories of all of Jehovahs love for me.

After many years of suffering like this He guided me to two video’s on YouTube: 10 tactics to put a narcissist in their place and 10 tactics to make a narcissist respect you.

After listening to them I was shocked at how well and how much she was playing head games with me.

Now, when she tries her games, The Holy Spirit reminds me of what was said in those video’s and I take the appropriate actions which prevents a lot of fights ( she loves to fight and argue ).

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Mephalti (Psalms 18:2 The LORD My Deliverer ) for blessing me with sending The Holy Spirit to rescue me from the grips of satan when he tries to manipulate me into losing control of my temper. All glory to You and Him for this extremely important service. I praise You in the name of He who never allowed satan to control Him, Jesus Christ Amen

Will be Repaid Many Times Over

“Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come.” Luke 18: 29- 30 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

This is the best retirement investment there is.

When we give up everything for Christ, He will give us everything we need to live a comfortable life in our elder years. Joseph a son of Jehovah

I have made plans for my retirement that went up in smoke.

There was land purchased in my younger years that was taken away from me to by the politically correct. I lost all my dreams when I lost that.

Then I fell for what I now believe were scams by an investment company and went broke. Being a slow learner, it took three times before understanding that investment was a scam. Again my dreams were shattered.

When I dedicated my life to service unto our Heavenly King He sent me all over the world serving under very strenuous circumstances with little materially to show for the years of effort. There was deep concern that my final years would be spent living the paupers life with nothing to show for decades of service as old age crept in.

It was taken to my Heavenly Love and He reassured me with Bible verse after Bible verse for about three hours that He would bless me in this life as well as our eternal one.

One night Jesus gave me a dream that I was walking down a dark deserted street and was homeless. Then a rich man came to me and softly demanded I follow Him. He took me to an apartment that had nice clothes in it, the apartment was nice and there was food in the refrigerator and in the cupboards. Then He informed me that as long as I was obedient unto Him I would never be homeless, wear rags or have an empty belly.

He has been true to His word then, I am sure He is good for it now that the elder years are creeping ever faster in this old boys life.

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Ghmolah ( The God of Recompense. Job 11:20 ) that even though it looks like I am being a sucker and many times being abused in my service unto You, I believe Your promise to me to always take care of me including when I am in Your beautiful Heavenly home You have graciously prepared for me. It is in Your wonderful name I thank you. Amen

May you be blessed daily with the faith in our Heavenly provider that He always provides for all your needs. Joseph a son of Jehovah

But Well Worth It.

“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.” Romans 8:1-2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

So many that are suffering from drug addiction and alcoholism are suffering from something deeper and more painful.

It is abuse by parents when we were children. We never recover and kill the pain with booze and drugs.

This of course only makes the situation worse, not better.

When we surrender to the healing power of Christ, He will free us from this pain.

Sometimes it will happen instantly but most times it takes years of Christian counselling.

It is painful but well worth it.

As we are freed from the prison of abuse we surrender our addictions and because we trust Christ as our Saviour, those sins are forgiven. We belong to Him now, not the past that haunts and torments us . The power of the Holy Spirit sets us free.

We may, and most do, suffer from painful memories all their lives but each time this happens, The Holy Spirit comes and comforts and encourages us.

The Holy Spirit frees us from all prisons in our lives. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer : Thank you Jehovah YAHWEH Ropheka ( God our healer Jeremiah 30:17 ) for healing the painful wounds from my past and setting me free from the prison of addiction that was destroying my life. I extol Thee in the name of He who frees all prisoners, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed to be set free from your dungeon by the greatest freedom fighter of all Jesus Christ. Amen

Foolish Folks Who

The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.” Genesis 3: 12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament

I have seen it too many times.

Foolish folks who refuse to man up and confess when they have done wrong whether intentional or not.

At first it used to be so frustrating trying to get them to be mature and admit their wrong. They would tell one lie to cover up for another lie. The whole time they believe they are so smart and you are so stupid. In truth they make themselves look like fools.

Not only that, but they have destroyed my trust so instead of enjoying a loving, mature relationship, now it is a formal one.

As well, if they are parents, they are setting a bad example for their children then get angry when the children do it to them.

“Maturity is not based on age, but on the willingness to accept responsibility.”Dr. Edwin Louis Cole

Eventually, their minds become so distorted they laugh when you speak the truth and firmly believe a lie when it is told to them. This will ultimately cause their downfall.

He who hardens his neck and refuses instruction after being often reproved (corrected, criticized),Will suddenly be broken beyond repair. Proverbs 29:1 The Holy Bible, The Amplified Version

Now, sometimes I make a game of it just to see how many idiotic lies they can make up. It can be quite comical.

Prayer: Oh praise You Holy Spirit Jehovah Emet (God of truth Titus 1:2 ) for blessing me with teaching me the truth and the terrible disastrous consequences of living a lie. May You always convict me when I stray from Jehovahs Divine truth. I humbly request this in the name of He who only spoke the truth when He walked amongst us, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you always be mature enough to walk in the light of Jehovahs truth and avoid the darkness of satans lies. Joseph a son of Jehovah
