“So don’t worry about tomorrow Matthew 6:34 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Every one of us has it: the worry thief.
We worry about family, we worry about our health, we worry about our country, we worry about our finances. The list just goes on and on.
And what is the result of this?
It destroys our mental and physical health.
There is only one cure and His name is Jesus. When we trust Jesus and place all of our cares into His loving hands He calms the storms around us.
He has done it for me. I used to be the worry wort king, not any more.
Why not give Him a try?
Jesus always provides the solutions for all of our problems. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Shammah (Ezekiel 48:35 The LORD Is There ) for always being there with me every step of my life. Even though I walked through unknown terrifying territory, as I learned to place my fragile hand in Yours, I learned to have confidence in You. This has blessed me with peace and assurance every day of my life and will all the way until reaching Your Heavenly home. I praise You in the name of He who walked through powerful storms and darkest nights with His beloved disciples, Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah

For he has rescued me from the kingdom of darkness and transferred me into the Kingdom of his dear Son,who purchased my freedom and forgave my sins. Colossians 1:13 – 14 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
I believe in the Lord my God, and I will be able to stand firm. 2 Chronicles 20:20 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Some words have been changed to first person so it is us personally that He is speaking to. This makes them far more effective and powerful.
The Holy Spirit is the best cleaner of all. When we daily surrender our dark thoughts to Him that satan places there, He will sweep them clean out of our heads and replace them with the sweet brilliant light of Jehovahs love.
When there is a battle in our mind and it seems as if the devil is going to win, call in the Holy Spirit. The demons run with sparks flying off their feet when the Holy Spirit enters into the fray.
When it appears as if satan is going to win the battle for my mind, I call upon the ultimate Warrior to come to my defense, The Holy Spirit. Satan and his lackeys run like their pants are on fire when He enters the ring. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Gador Milchamah (The Lord is Mighty in Battle Psalms 24:8 ) that You are the ultimate fighter and winner in the constant battle for my mind. I tremble to think of where it would go if not for Your protection. I exalt You in the name of the ultimate victorious Warrior King, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year.Joseph a son of JehovahThis article and photo @ 2020 Joseph a son of Jehovah. All rights reserved. Used only by permission of the author.
The Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai: “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.” Jonah 1: 1-2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Nineveh was not an unknown city to Jonah. They were arch enemies of both the Israelite’s and of Jehovah. The two countries deeply hated each other and were many times at war with each other. They treated each others captives very cruelly. I am sure some of Jonahs family and friends suffered at the Ninevite’s hands.
Now imagine Jehovah commanding a Jew who had family and friends suffer at the hands of the Nazi’s and Jehovah commanding him to go up and tell the Nazi’s if they do not repent they will be destroyed. That is what it was like for Jehovah to command Jonah to go to Nineveh and warn them of the coming destruction if they did not repent.
Okay, now let us make it more personal.
Imagine if Jehovah commanded you to go up and share Jesus with someone who has abused you or cheated you or made you suffer horribly in any other manner, and inform them if they did not repent of their ways they would be condemned to Hell for eternity.
Would you do it?
Although sometimes obeying Jehovahs commands may be like swallowing a turd sideways we, as His children are to be obedient unto Him. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Many times Jehovah will command us to do things which are repugnant to us but has eternal consequences for those He is sending us to.
No where do we see the Ninevite’s and Israelite’s becoming best buddies or and other change in the disposition between the two enemies. I believe there will be little change in the disposition between the two belligerents of today either .
Prayer: Please Jesus Melech Olam (Psalms 10:16 The LORD King Forever ) bless this humble servant of Your to always be obedient unto His masters calling no matter how unpleasant it is. I sincerely request this in Your majestic name. Amen

I am not afraid, for the Holy Spirit is with me. I am not discouraged, for Jehovah is my God. Jesus strengthens me and helps me. He holds me up with His victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Please my Beloved Jehovah Gibbor Milchamah (Psalms 24:8The LORD Mighty In Battle) whenever hard times come always help me to remember that You have promised that You would never leave me nor desert me and that You are always true to Your word.Jesus has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you. ”Hebrews 13:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
I know that when satan is attacking his hardest it is to prevent me from accomplishing important tasks You have prepared for me to do to bring honour to You and to bring the little lost sheep to You.
Keep awake! Watch at all times. The devil is working against me. He is walking around like a hungry lion with his mouth open. He is looking for someone to eat 1Peter 5:6-8 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
When all seems lost, please remind me that You are right there beside me, walking me to glorious victory in Your beautiful name. You have promised that the battle is not mine but Yours to win. I know many battles will not be won instantly but take time.
The Lord my God is with me, a Powerful One Who wins the battle. He has much joy over me. With His love He gives me new life. He has joy over me with loud singing. Zephaniah 3:17 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Please enlarge my faith (trust) in You to bring it to a magnificent completion. Remembering the past victories cause me to sing songs of gratitude and joy for the victory You are bringing me in this battle.
I pray this in the name of my most glorious King of Kings, Jesus Christ. Amen

O Lord, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me. Psalm 35:1 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Here is the Lords reply: The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Exodus 14:14 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
And, may I add, to be patient.
I have learned the hard way that when I go into battle against any foe they have the devil to help them draw up battle plans that will not only defeat me but to humiliate me as well.
When I humbly request the mighty Warrior Kings (Jesus Christ) assistance, He will always bring victory to me.
One way He does this is for me to step back and allow Him to bring humiliating defeat to the wicked.
Another manner in which He brings victory is by working in conjunction with me or by bringing other more experienced Christian warriors to aid me in the battle.
And finally, the other manner in which He brings victory to me is by giving me the battle plans and allowing me to fight the battle myself (which helps me become a more mature Christian so I can help other brothers and sisters when they face the same battle).
In every one of these battles the main ingredient for success is faith (which means trust) in His deliverance.
These battles are not only against flesh and blood opponents but against satan and his minions as well.
Faith is the greatest battle weapon at every Christians disposal. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Do not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you.’ Deuteronomy 3:22 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Maginnenu (Psalms 89:18 The LORD Our Defense) for blessing me with Your unconquerable defense when the wicked one attack me. Thank you that Your battle plans always bring victory. I praise You in the name of He who slam dunked satan Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
For The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. Nahum 1:3 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
We have the neighbours from Hell living beside us. Last year they ripped up a part of our garden then planted their own in it claiming it was no theirs. I think they are jealous because our garden is so beautiful and everyone comments on it They threw rubbish in our back yard. When I would bring friends to look at our garden in the back yard, they would yell and scream at us because (according to them ) we did not have the right to do that. If we did that our friends would see their marijuana and want to steal it (which they had no interest in). We could not trim our roses sharon bushes because then people would see their marijuana and want to steal it.
I prayed to the Lord for deliverance from these wicked creatures and for four months He told me to be brave and the battle was His.
This spring He directed me to have our land surveyed and install a camera so that if they came on our land this year they would be spending their summer behind bars for trespassing, destruction of private property, theft of private property and public nuisance .
They were told to clean up their mess our they would be sued (which they did).
We had to have our septic system cleaned and wanted to put in a new one (which we we informed was not necessary, the line just needed cleaned out). Then we were informed the neighbour put in a new one last year without a permit which would cost him around fifty thousand dollars if the county found out. They know we know about it.
I carry a camera with me so that if they yell and scream at me this year it will be filmed, given to a lawyer and they will be spending the summer in a psychiatric ward. So now they HAVE to behave themselves or else there will be severe consequences.
It is driving them nuts that they HAVE to behave themselves but it sure is a lot more peaceful on this side of the fence.
Each time the Lord reminded me of how He works bring peace to a destructive situation for us while punishing the war mongers.
What gets me is how they can go to church and she teaching children at Sunday School.
The wise man waits for the Lord for it is His fight that will lead to victory. All other paths lead to disaster. Joseph son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohe Yeshuathi (Psalms 88:1 LORD GOD of My Salvation ) for blessing me with Your awesome salvation from wicked beings that steal our land and peace. Thank you for providing the resources to to force the wicked to behave themselves. Thank you that this has brought so much joy to my life. I exalt You in the name of He who will bring peace unto all the world Jesus Christ Shalom (Judges 6:24 The LORD our Peace . Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 Holy Bible New Living Translation
As Christians we are in a continuous war.
There is of course, war with those that are liberal minded (if it feels good do it, there is no absolute right or wrong, there is no God).
There is the constant was against demons who relish nothing more than destroying our loving relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
But, the most brutal of all wars is raged in our hearts and minds.
Thoughts of lust, greed, anger, fear and worry are our ever present foes.
That is why it is so important to be in continuous prayer.
When these thoughts and emotions enter our minds and hearts we are to immediately call out to Jehovah to send the Holy Spirit to sweep these thoughts from us like you sweep dirt out of a house.
Then, to fill our house with the sweet fragrance of love, joy and gratitude to our loving Father Jehovah our precious Savior Jesus Christ and our strong Deliverer the Holy Spirit.
“Who sits in solitude and is quiet has escaped from three wars: hearing, speaking, seeing; yet against one thing shall he continually battle: that is, his own heart.” St. Antony
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Gibbor Milchamah (Psalms 24:8 The LORD Mighty In Battle) for blessing me with the weapons required on a daily basis for the continual battle in my mind and heart. Thank you that through Your strength and wisdom victory is guaranteed. Thank you that when I lose a battle and call out to You, You sooth my soul while blessing me with healing balm for my heart. You are such a wonderful Warrior King. I praise You in Your majestic 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
Today, my Beloved, I choose to receive my joy and strength in You.
Joy in knowing You love me with a Heavenly love as I seek opportunities to bring joy to Your treasured heart.
I know that in the cold dark world out there the devil reigns in bringing chaos and difficulties to everyone’s life but his aim is on the bulls eye of my heart because it belongs to You. He will do everything in His power to destroy our loving relationship.
I have great joy in knowing You are a force field that his evil wicked arrows cannot pierce when I place me confidence in You. Please bless me to never be in such a hurry I cannot be loving and respectful to others even when they are not respective unto me.
Please bless me to be forgiving instead of holding petty grudges and resentments.
I know that I am weak and gullible and as such an easy target for satan .
I also know that no one is as strong nor as intelligent as you. Therefore my loving Poppa in Heaven will protect me from the manipulative schemes of the wcked as I venture through this day. For that my heart dances with songs of praise for You through out the day.
Thank you my love for blessing me with all that is needed to live a victorious life in You and through You this day and every day.
It is in the name of the best Sheppard that guides this little lamb of His to Your Heavenly home that I humbly ask for these blessings and joyfully praise You them, Jesus Christ. Amen

Prayer: Please Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide) bless me with providing me with warning when satan is tempting me so that I may prepare to defeat him.
Please prepare me with victory verses to cause him and his goons to sprint away from me in terror of hearing Your victory verses defeat them.
Please Father provide me with numerous opportunities, both big and small, to serve You this day and every day.
Please provide me with wisdom in all of my words and actions this day so that my they may please You and bring glory unto You.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
What is your problem?
Is it fear?
Believe me, I have been there more times than I can count. The majority of times it was for nothing.
Fear is a lack of trust in Jehovah. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Being mere mortals we will always have moments of fear.
The difference is that those of us who have walked with Christ long enough know enough to conquer that fear by immediately praying unto Jesus and having the confidence He will take care of it for us. That does not mean that we will just sit back on out buts and wait for Him to do all the work.
Faith means that sometimes we sit back and allow Jehovah to work His will through the problem with the belief that He will take care of it. It also means that we are willing to follow His commands, even though, many times we do not see nor understand what He is doing.
At first this was a terrifying experience for me. Now, I just laugh a wait to see just how unusual a way He will resolve the issue (and in my life it is always in unusual ways).
Are you discouraged?
Boy have I traveled down that road with that heavy load on my back.
Again at first it is difficult to have faith that Jehovah will lift us up. Sometimes He allows us to endure through the experience to build our character up.
“Talents are best nurtured in solitude: character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.” — Goethe
Sometimes, He lovingly comforts, encourages and strengthens us to continue on. Jehovah is always there to help us in the best manner for victory over the challenges of life. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Tsuri (Psalms 19:14 O LORD My Strength) for blessing me with the strength to continue on when I feel as if there is nothing left in me to give. Thank you for Your powerful strength to carry me when I am too exhausted to continue on. I praise You in the name of He who had the strength to endure the horrors of the cross for me, Jesus Christ. Amen
Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
