I do not act like the sinful people of the world. I allow the Holy Spirit to change my life. First of all, I allow Him give me a new mind. Then I know what God wants me to do. And the things I do will be good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
The Holy Spirit is like a surgeon.
He is the best surgeon because He is a brain surgeon, spirit surgeon and physical surgeon.
He operates on our minds to cut out the disease of sinful thoughts like a surgeon digs out cancer with amazing precision that would make all other surgeons drool.
He slices out the darkness in our spirit to replace it with Jehovahs loving light. Through this He changes our bodies to live a more healthy lifestyle which helps us to to transform ever more to do the things that are good and pleasing to our Heavenly Poppa.
Wow, He truly is the best surgeon.
The Holy Spirit is the best make over artist there is. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Rophe (Exodus 15:26 The LORD (our) Healer) for preforming precision surgery on my mind and heart to remove the diseased parts filled with the filth of satan and healing me with the balm of Jehovahs love. I exalt You in the name of the greatest Healer of all, Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
I remember what the Lord Jesus said, ‘I am more happy when I give than when I receive.’ ” Acts 20:35 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
I have been blessed that it has always been easy to help others.
Sometimes, when reflecting back on the days activities with my Beloved, He reminds me of little things as well as big ones that have been done for others. Many times these good deeds are done out of second nature. We both share a good laugh and He is greatly thanked for the opportunity to share and help others He presented me with through out the day.
Helping others every day bring joy and meaning to my day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
But, here is the thing though.
You can be a revolutionary.
By observing your actions you can encourage others to be helpful and giving as well.
It is scary to begin this habit and we always need the Holy Spirits direction in where to go and who to help. When we surrender out will to His, He takes us to amazing places and helps us accomplish amazing feats. Oh, they will not make the six o’clock news but you can bet Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are clapping their hands in Heavens and smiling as they say: “What a wonderful child of mine they are. I love them so much and am so proud of them.”
Now, you do not need to do good deeds to attain Jehovah, Jesus or the Holy Spirits love and approval but just as they are good to you, so too are you to be good to others.
Have you ever though of all the good deeds you have done through out the day?
Can you count them?
Prayer: Thank you El Simchath Gili (Psalms 43:4 GOD My Exceeding Joy) for blessing me with oh so many opportunities to gain spiritual wealth by giving and sharing with those who are worthy of assistance. It makes my heart dance with ecstasy to know this brings joy to Your loving heart. I praise You in the name of He who gave His blood for me to experience the joy of being a child of Yours, Jesus Christ. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
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.
Please my Beloved bless me with provision to spend quiet time with You, my most treasured confidant. Not just to share my problems with You, but just to be blessed to be in Your presence.

I humble request these blessings in the name of He whose blood has provided an entrance into Your Holy throne room Jesus Christ. Amen

As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should! Psalm 119:7 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Righteous: acting in an moral way and virtuous manner ( Moral: founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom, concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical) ( Virtuous: conforming to moral and ethical principles; morally excellent; upright ) Dictionary. com
We are to be grateful for the blessing of being adopted into Jehovahs family.
The best manner of doing this is to live as He desires us to be. To accomplish this we must emulate Christs demeanour.
We need the Holy Spirit to teach us morality (although we all know right from wrong in its basics, He takes us ever deeper into it). As well as the tools to live it out in our daily life. As this new creation in Christ takes form in our mental, physical and spiritual being we become more and more virtuous.
This is not a one off experience but rather a lifetime commitment.
I have been following Christ for decades and He is still transforming me.
We are a work in progress all the way up to Heavens Gate where Christ will perfect us into the beautiful creation Jehovah intends for s to be. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Now, to the world that walks in darkness, this is extremely offensive. It is great to see someone walk with these qualities as long as they do not step upon that individuals toes.
When you are welcomed into Jehovahs family, you will be bitterly rejected by satans family including your family and old friends. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Believe me I have had plenty of experience where the very same man or woman that commends me for behavior with another becomes extremely offended and offensive when the same situation happens between them and me.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Tsidkenu (Jeremiah 23:6 The LORD Our Righteousness( for blessing me with teaching me Your inflatable righteousness and guiding me in the manner in which to incorporate it into my daily life. Thank you for helping me live this life even when it goes against the current of the politically correct in this world. I know Your righteousness leads to a more secure and better life that leads all the way to the Heavenly home You have lovingly prepared for me. I exalt You in the name of He who I love to emulate in righteous living Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Oh my Love, thank you that no matter how strong the storms lash at me whenever I recollect all the blessings You have generously bestowed upon me, my heart cannot but dance with joy. With each stanza of thanks Your bright light of love comes ever more powerful and evaporates the most stubborn of darkness in my heart.
And, of course, there is the greatest gift You bless me with which creates an euphoria in my heart, that is when You bless me with communion with You.
Thank you that whatever the burden is that is heavy upon my shoulders I go into a quiet place to be with You and You bless me with a lightened heart that dances a jig of gratitude for all of Your graciousness You have generously bestowed upon me and this strengthens me to continue on.
I thank you in the name of He who understands what I am going through because He has walked in my shoes, my closest confidant with whom I share all my challenges with because He understand Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every dayJoseph a son of Jehovah
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
Prayer: Please Jehovah Shalom (Judges 6:24 The LORD (our) Peace) bless me with peace when the prince of war comes (satan) to tempts me into battle. When he tempts me into battle against my neighbors, co-workers, fellow students or teachers, family members please bless me with words of peace, love, respect and integrity so that those who satan is using to commit to warfare are defeated with Your words of truth.
Please my Love, when the wicked one comes to wage war against my mind please bless me with reassurance of Your unfailing love, encouragement and strength.
Please bless me with remembrance of how You have forgiven my sins when he brings them up, how I have placed in Your righteous hands to deliver justice to those with whom have abused me when he reminds me of wrongs committed to me and the guilty ones are seemingly getting away with it.
Please my Provider bless me with assurance that You always provide for me both here and now and when I am aged and no longer able to work when the evil one taunts me of my meager living arrangements and thoughts of living in abject poverty after a lifetime of serving You.
I humbly request this in the name of He who has provided entrance into You and Your Holy Kingdom through His priceless blood Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today.

He is there to warn us when danger lies ahead, He is better than any horoscope.
When someone tries to wage war against us, He is there to fight the battle for us or gives us the weapons to defeat our foes. He is there to share in our victories.
