There is No Busy Signal
Put Me In the Furnace
“Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men , unbound , walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!” Daniel 3: 25 The Holy Bible , The New Living Translation
Every Christian must all go through the burning off of the dross. The dross is impurities with in our heart like greed , arrogance , impatience. It certainly is not enjoyable. The longer we fight it , the longer we will be in the fire.
For me it lasted a year. For some others I know , it lasted for up to five years.
Trust me , it is better to surrender to Christ.
But , Jesus said He will never leave us and He will not. He is right in the furnace with us. Although it is extremely unpleasant at the time , we praise Jehovah for this blessing every day of our lives afterwards.
This experience brings us ever closer to our Heavenly Beloved and because the dross is gone , our personal , social and communal live with Jehovah , Jesus and The Holy Spirit is much better.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You Judges 6:12 ) that You have blessed me to put me in the furnace to burn off the impurities that come between You and me. An added benefit it that these impurities are also bad for me as well so my life is better without them. I thank you in the name of He who has walked the walk with me through out this ordeal, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed to know you are not walking through the furnace alone. Joseph a son of Jehovah

In Gods Economy
The Lord supports the humble , but he brings the wicked down into the dust. Psalms 147:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There once was a child of Jehovah who was a live in care giver for a evil wicked mother that fits like a glove 2 Timothy 3: 1-5
The child was brought to the mother at the direction of Jehovah. The poor soul suffered many years.
Many both in the Christian community and those not of that family were infuriated to watch this abuse and tried to counsel the wicked creature but she just laughed and arrogantly ignored their pleas.
The Lord supported His child emotionally , physically and mentally through all those horrible years.
Finally the Lord had enough.
The abuse was an insult to the love and care the adult child was giving the mother. It was also an insult to the Lord and it angered the Lord to see His child abused. The Lords anger burned like a raging fire against the wicked one. Every day her agony increased. There was no reprieve even though she cried out for it daily.
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
Do you notice it says the wicked will be broken beyond repair?
That does not mean they will die a horrible death but rather they will suffer for a set amount of time to pay for the injustice they have committed.
I have seen that come true with so many elderly to know that is true. Do not be deceived , in Gods economy , you always reap seven times more than you receive.
Prayer: Oh Jehovah Ghmolah ( The God of Recompense. The God of vengeance Job 11:20 ) I know You are a loving God, but , You are also a God of justice. My heart weeps with Yours as the stubborn fools refuse to correct their evil ways. But we both know they must reap what they have sown. Neither of us enjoys it but knows it must be done. I thank you for Your justice even though I do not enjoy watching it. I pray in the name of He whose heart breaks every time the fools must pay the penalty for their arrogance , Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with Divine strength to endure the abuse of the wicked and not weep to much when witnessing Jehovahs strong hand against them Joseph a son of Jehovah

I Ask You Jehovah Uzzi
Give your burdens to the Lord , and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Psalms 55:22 The Holy Bible , The New Living Translation
Oh my Beloved Jehovah Rophe ( Exodus 15:26 The LORD (our) Healer ) it is with exhaustion , frustration anger and fear that it is with rivers of tears that I call out unto You. I am at the end of my rope. I want to quit , wash my hands and walk away.
But , I am where you want me to be.
So , my Father, this feeble broken child of Your cries out unto You to not only heal me of the numerous wounds upon my body and heart to not only heal me but to protect me from the horrible tormentors.
I humbly ask You to be my fortress against their wicked persistent attacks.
I ask You Jehovah Shalom ( Judges 6:24 The LORD (our) Peace ) to envelope me in Your healing , loving arms to quiet my soul while filling me with Your Divine peace. I ask You Jehovah Uzzi (Psalms 28:7 The LORD My Strength ) to bless me with Your Divine strength to carry on the duties You have assigned me to accomplish in this difficult circumstance.
Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) that I know You are walking through this with me and will bring it to a glorious conclusion.
Thank you Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher 2 Timothy 3:16 ) that You are using this experience to teach me and to mould me into a stronger more mature child of Your.
It is in the name of Your glorious son who has experienced it all Jesus Christ I pray. Amen
May you be blessed to know that Jesus has walked the path you are on right now so He knows best on how to guide you through it. Joseph a son of Jehovah

To Disaster Proof Your Life.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart ; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do , and he will show you which path to take .Do not be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead , fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Proverbs 3:5-7 The Holy Bible , The New Living Translation
This is the best advice to disaster proof your life.
One of the best lessons in life learned so far is that going my own way always leads to disaster. So many times there was the foolish belief that I knew what was best for me. It was met with much egg on the face.
Following The Holy Spirits guidance always leads to successes. Again , so many times The Holy Spirit would suggest something to me that sounded absolutely absurd. It was unbelievable what happened upon obedience and pitiful what happened upon refusal to obey.
Believe me , it has taken decades to learn it and to obey it.
When a tree planter it was always hilarious to watch the university kids who thought they were so much smarter that us hicks make fools out of themselves.
The bigger the head , the more the hot air inside it. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer : Than you Holy Spirit Emunah (God is faithful 1 John 1:9, 2 Thessalonians 3:3 ) that You always faithfully lead me to victory in following Your mentoring. I exalt You in the name of the greatest mentor , Jesus Christ. Amen
May you always humbly submit to the best mentors advice. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
Would you please pray for please pray that focus on the family finds a suitable president ?

Be Glad in It.
This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 The Holy Bible , The New Living Translation
Each and every new day is just that , a new day. We can always start anew with the Holy Spirits help.
That does not mean that yesterdays problems magically disappear but rather when we submit to The Holy Spirit guidance , He will reveal and guide us on the best way to solve them. For this we are to rejoice in the Lords gifts and be glad for it.
As well , if we open our eyes to it , Jehovah graciously , abundantly blesses us through out the day every day.
Why not keep a diary and make a list of every good things , no matter how big or small , that occurs to you through out the day?
Then before you go to bed , thank our gracious Heavenly Poppa for them. See how it affects your sleep.
Now for that , we are to be grateful for and always rejoice in Poppas beautiful gifts He graciously blesses us with.
Our Heavenly Poppa blesses us every day. We should be respectful and thank Him for them. Joseph a son a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El SIMCHAH GIYL ( God my Exceeding Joy John 15:11 ) for the bountiful gifts You lovingly share with me every day.

Amen

The Lord Detests
Sing Praises to The
I Know the Lord Is
I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. Psalm 16:8 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
This is something that needs to be drilled into every Christians head until it just becomes second nature.
Being a Christian means suffering and hard times. It means being picked on and abused by society and friends.
The worst part is when you are treated like a freak in church because you want to talk about Jesus in your life. I have experienced that in every church I have attended down through the decades.
Yes , we all go through tough times , welcome to life. Suffering for Jesus means you stand for godliness instead of following the world. You stick out like a huge pimple on someones nose. Joseph a son of Jehovah
You also make yourself a target for the liberals who enjoy dancing with the devil. Your lifestyle convicts them of how wicked and foolish they are and that greatly offends them.
But , through it all , The Holy Spirit is walking right beside you. He blesses you with strength , wisdom , gracefulness and meekfulness , to not only endure it but to prosper through it.
No , I do not mean in material wealth but rather in spiritual wealth.
Because of your hardship , it brings you ever closer to Jehovah , Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Not only that , but , your example encourages other Christians.
And , there are those in the world that will be drawn to Jehovahs family by your example.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble Isaiah 49:26 ) for blessing me with Your Divine strength to not only endure but to grow stronger through the abuse heaped upon me by those that prefer to dance with the devil than walk with You. Thank you for blessing me with the honour that my example leads some to You. I exalt You in the name of He whose example I follow al the way to our Heavenly Home , Jesus Christ. Amen
May your example guide many to Jesus Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah
