Communion with Christ

Constant, Conscious

Christians are to live in constant, conscious communion with Christ. Yes, Jesus Christ literally lives within you if you have put your faith in Him as your personal Savior.

The heart of Christian living is found in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul wrote, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

Christ lives in you (Col. 1:27). That is a fact that is true of every believer.

Jesus prayed for you and me when He prayed, “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in us that the world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given them the glory that You gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and You in Me” (John 17:20-23).

“I in them and You in Me.” Because Jesus Christ lives in you, His strength works in and through you to bring glory to Him. Learn to trust Him moment by moment living in you.

Jesus living in us is like the glove on your hand. I may say to my glove, “Pick up that Bible.” That glove cannot do a thing. But when I slip that glove on my hand it is a perfect fit. Then when I say, “Pick up the Bible” it has perfect control. Jesus Christ living in you is a perfect fit. “Christ in you” is the astonishing reality that He clothes Himself with us and uses you and me for His eternal purposes. As we make ourselves available to the indwelling Christ, He molds us and uses us as He so pleases for His glory.

Jesus said, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me” (John 15:4).

It is essential that we have this confidence in Jesus Christ who will in His divine power, make us partakers of His work, His life, His indwelling. What you and I cannot do, He does in and through us.

Christ our Redeemer is the Almighty One, who is everlasting and unchangeable, and it is He who has chosen to indwell you and me with His holy presence. He effected real cleansing and a putting away of sin, so that He can enter into our inmost being and dwell there.

He alone is the One who can reach your heart and fill it with the power of His eternal Word. Moreover, He can maintain without any shadow of turning in never ceasing fashion His life with you.

“Christ in you,” Christ living in you by faith, has the power to make your circumstances, no matter how difficult, a heavenly discipline, to serve His eternal purposes for His glory and your good.

Christ in us, abiding in us, gives us new life, and fills us with Himself. As we make ourselves available to Him, He makes our inner life the proof of His almighty power. The apostle Paul said, “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord.” Yes, you can have a constant, conscious communion with Christ in a living experiential heart knowledge that comes from faith and fellowship with Him.

Christ living within us works in us every day to lift us up and enables us to live as those who are seated with Him in the heavenlies.Selah!

Just Like Snowball.

Snowball did nothing to deserve having epilepsy. He has always been loving. He is a very good cat.

Just like Snowball, I have done nothing to receive the constant abuse at the hands of my wicked mother.

Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” Luke 11:28

Just as Snowball must take his medicine every day or he will suffer numerous powerful seizures so too must I take my medicine of reciting Bible verses, read them back to Jehovah , Jesus and The Holy Spirit and talking with them about it. I must digest their instruction and obey it for my spiritual, mental and physical health just as Snowball must digest his medicine for his health so too will I be blessed by listening to and obeying the instruction given to me.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

One of the side affects of his medicine is depression. I hold and cuddle with him as we rock in the rocking chair. He looks at me, give a little hurmph, a look of love and melts into my arms content.

So too does Jehovah send The Holy Spirit to comfort and encourage me as I suffer both physically and mentally being a care giver for a wicked Jezebel every day.

Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. Psalm 103:1-2 (New Living Translation)

I sing songs of love, praise and appreciation back to Jehovah , Jesus and The Holy Spirit for their daily love, comfort, encouragement, peace and strength to continue on.

Come close to God, and God will come close to you. James 4:8

Just as Snowball and I have drawn very close to each other through his suffering so too has my suffering drawn Jehovah , Jesus and The Holy Spirit and me drawn us ever closer together. I praise them for these precious treasure gifts every day.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love 1 John 4:16 ) for using unique methods to teach me about Your sweet precious love. I thank you in the name of He who loved me so much He suffered a horrible death so I have the honour of being a member of His royal family, Jesus Christ. Amen

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD SITE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH TOXIC PEOPLE AND GET HEALING IN A CHRISTIAN MANNER PLEASE GO TO https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN6-vUmAO3nNEO5nVIGgLWw HER ADVICE HAS HELPED TREMENDOUSLY

He convicts us.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever the Spirit of truth. John 14:16 New International Version

First the Holy Spirit will convict us of our sins.

This will lead to our repenting of sin.

When we repent of our sin He will give us power to not do the sin.

For example I used to be the type to want revenge when someone did me wrong. There was a man that was very bad to me and we parted ways. A few years later I saw him advertise his services on a Christian web site. I intended to write a very bad review of him to destroy his service.

The Holy Spirit came and convicted me.
He asked me why I intended to do this.
I tried to reason that is the truth.
He would not let it go.
He asked: “Yes. But why do YOU want to do this?”
I had to confess it was for revenge.
“And what does the Bible say about revenge?” He asked?
“Seek not revenge but leave it in My hands says the Lord.” was my reply.

“So, what are you going to do now?” He again inquired?
“I am not going to send the report.” I surrendered to Him.

Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Elohim (Holy Spirit our creator) for creating in me a heart that is open to Your conviction and the wisdom and strength to listen and obey Your guidance. I give thank for this precious blessing in the name of the great convicter Jesus Christ.

Only Happens When

Change only happens when we put up Godly boundaries and demand abusers respect and obey them. Stand your ground. If they refuse, they will see you will not be their toy and leave. They will then look for another victim. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

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

God is Giving Me

God is giving me strength in my weakness… and He will be the One who finishes this fight instead of me. Petr Jasek

It is Impossible for Us To.

Love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. Luke 6:27-28 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

It is humanly impossible for us to forgive someone who has hurt you badly. Especially if they laugh at you instead of ask for forgiveness.

To make matters worse is if you take the punishment because they framed you or cheated you out of money.

What I found is the best recipe is to pray to Jehovah that through the Holy Spirit you are blessed with the power to forgive. Do not think it is a one off experience but rather must be done daily. Believe me it will only be granted through sincere prayers.

I know from a lot of experience.

He will make you strong with power in your hearts through the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 3:16 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Oh and by the way, turn off the repeat button.

You know where you keep on repeating the incident in your mind again and again until it is ingrained in you and rage enslaves you.

Yes, it is natural to want them to be punished but have faith that Jehovah will punish them at the right time and in the proper manner. He will give them time to repent but if they refuse, look out.

If anyone does wrong, he will suffer for it. God does not respect one person more than another. Colossians The Holy Bible, 3:25 New Life Version

It is only by the power of The Holy Spirit that we have the power to forgive. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Please Jehovah Mauzzam (Psalms 37:39) – The LORD Their Strength bless me with Your divine strength to forgive those who have done me wrong, including the unrepentant one. I humbly beseech You in the name of He who forgvae while suffering on a cross, 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.

Depend Upon His Strength To

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

To be strong in the Lord means to make Him your power source.

Depend upon His strength to get you through the day when you feel like you do not have the strength to blow your nose.

Depend upon His power to stand up and speak with wisdom and grace when you see or hear something morally wrong.

Depend upon His power when someone is annoying you so bad you want to strangle them.

Depend upon His strength when you see someone intentionally doing something that will hurt them and they ignore your warning. Especially, if this is a repeated habit ( I have learned to just walk away and tell them their is a reward for their arrogance and stupidity . I do not want to see the disaster or hear them blame everyone but themselves ).

Depend upon His strength and power when temptation is overwhelming you.

Can you think of any other times to call upon the Lord?

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohe Mauzi (Psalms 43:2 GOD of My Strength ) for blessing me with Your Divine power and strength to stand up and defend the weak and to defeat the tempter. I praise You in the name of He who had the strength to suffer on that bloody cross and the power to resist the tempter, 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 )

With Grace and Tact

Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out. Proverbs 17:14 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Have you ever watched water gush over a dam?

Imagine standing under its power. It would be extremely stupid and devastating.

In every relationship there are sore points and unresolved issues. When these sore points are brought up it is opening the flood gates of hurt and pain.

Instead of bringing them up whenever you cannot get your own way the most important thing to do is pray for resolution, preferably with a Christian councillor.

Most times the guilty party refuses to go into counselling, most times it is because of pride. One they do not want to admit they were wrong and two they do not want to take responsibility for their actions and three the injured soul does not want to let go of the hurt, they use it like a crutch and they use it to manipulate.

When the other party begins to go on this stupid wheel of destruction, it does cause deep cuts with the words that are said in the heated battle, just inform them that if they wish to continue the discussion we will do so in a Christian councillors office. If you refuse to do so it is an admission of guilt on your behalf. When you are mature enough and ready for reconciliation let me know and we will go to the Christian councillors office. Other wise this discussion is over. Then just walk away.

If someone refuses to go into mediation with you, walk away. They are not interested in resolution but rather in their favorite hobby, fighting. Joseph a son of Jehovah

It works wonders for me.

Prayer: Please Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper ) please help me to be a wise child of Yours and know how to resolve conflicts with wisdom and grace. When these conflicts involve the spawn of the devil who delight in fighting, manipulation and domineering rather than seeking resolution please bless me with the wise but firm words to inform them I am not playing their perverted little games and until they are ready to behave in a mature manner there is nothing more to be said. I humbly request this in the name of He who quieted the hypocrite Pharisee’s with grace and tact Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with the wisdom to know when to sit down and work things out and when it is time to walk away. Joseph a son of Jehovah

I Thank You Jehovah Eli

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long Ephesians 2:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Prayer: I thank you Jehovah Eli (Psalms 18:2 The LORD My GOD ) for blessing me with meaning and purpose in my life. I need not fret over what to do with my life because I surrender it unto my Beloved King Jesus. Your plans are far superior to mine and much more rewarding.

As the world stumbles in darkness from one disaster to another, I follow the trail You have created me for all the way to Heavens Gate. I look forward to hearing me cherished King say: “ Well done my good and faithful servant. “ as He greets me with open loving arms and a joyful heart. I praise You in His glorious name. Amen

May you be blessed with obeying the Kings choice of service for you for His kingdom. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
