Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you (Psalm 51:12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament ).
We all get in the rut of taking our salvation for granted.
That is why it is so important to read Christian devotionals every day, to watch Christian TV show and movies. When we read and watch others testimony it bring the joy of salvation back into our hearts.
It is very unpleasant when Jehovah makes us be obedient unto Him but we can always be assured He is only doing it for our own good.
There has been many times His hand has been very heavy upon me and it was hated. I thought He was picking on me. When it was over and I realized what He was doing and why, I felt ashamed and promptly apologized. There also was a lot of gratitude and awe .
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Christ Elohe Tishuathi (Psalms 18:46&51:14 God of My Salvation ) for the extreme act of love You surrendered to for my salvation. May I never stop singing songs of joy and praise unto You oh gracious one for such an amazing gift. It is in Your blessed name I praise You joyfully. Amen
Sing a song of Heavenly joy for the amazing gift Christ provided for security into Your Heavenly home. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
May I suggest we Christians start voting for politicians that have Christian morals like The Christian Heritage Party for the election here in Ontario Canada. Our rights and freedoms depend upon it.

You will teach me how to live a holy life. Psalms 16:11 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
When we accept Jesus Christ as our King He sends the Royal Tutor ( The Holy Spirit ) to educate us on the proper manner in which to conduct ourselves that is befitting a child of Jehovah.
This is one school you never graduate from.
To be holy means to we are to separate ourselves from the world. This takes time and is very painful.
Just think, you have to walk away from everything you love into an unknown world.
We need The Holy Spirit to comfort us when our heart is being ripped apart because many times we have to leave those we love, we have to give up so much of our favourite past times.
We are going into a completely different world with different customs and culture.
We are also going to be under constant attack.
Sometimes covertly, some time brutally confrontational.
Sometimes it will be by evil wicked ones some times it will be by satan or his minions.
We need The Holy Spirit to teach us how to defend ourselves from these attacks and we need Him to protect us when they are too strong against us.
Jehovahs school of Divine etiquette is a lifetime commitment that will continue on even when we are in our Heavenly home. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Deah ( God of knowledge. Romans 11:33 ) for blessing me with the supreme tutor, The Holy Spirit to teach me how to be a holy child of Yours. I praise You in the name of the wisest tutor, Jesus Christ. Amen

I keep the Lord before me always.Because he is close by my side,I will not be hurt. Psalms 16:8 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
Every morning I pray for the Lord to send The Holy Spirit to guide me.
At first it was very difficult to obey His guidance because it did not make sense to me or because I thought my way was better.
Every time I disobeyed Him it came at a very heavy cost.
Even now, decades later I sometimes still disobey Him with the same results.
The Holy Spirit does not get angry but neither does He laugh at me. He just waits for me to get up and this time obey Him.
Oh how I love Poppa for sending me such a wonderful Guidance Councillor as The Holy Spirit and oh how grateful I am to The Holy Spirit not just for His wisdom but for His awesome patience as well.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) Isaiah 30:21) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit who speaks to me to guide me through the day. He prevents disaster and guides me to victory every day. I praise You in the name of He whose blood guides me to Heavens gate, Jesus Christ. Amen

I asked the Lord for help, and he answered me.He saved me from all that I feared.Those who go to him for help are happy. Psalms 34:4-5 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
The other night our gift from God ( and if you knew this cat and how much support he provides both my mom and I you would agree with that statement ) behaved strangely. He kept on bugging me for affection. I would cuddle with him for five minutes and then he would want to cuddle in a diiferent postion ( usually he will lay there for a long time ) or he would jump up on a chair for a couple of minutes and then come back for more cuddle. This went on all afternoon. Finally, he ran upstair and kept on running cirles crying until he puked. When he finished he ran all around the house like he did not know where he was ( he has lived with us for about five years ).
Being late on Easter Sunday there was no vet available for us to take him to. I wanted to desperately pray but thought that would be insulting to Poppa.
So, I just laid it out to Him and sincerely asked Him to heal Snowball tonight or take him in his sleep because I do not want him to suffer. Then I cried and went to sleep trusting Poppa would do the right thing.
I did not pray for what I wanted but prayed for what was best for my special buddy knowing Jehovah would comply.
He did, of course.
As soon as I came in the house ( I sleep outside ) my buddy came running to me a purring away. I hugged him and said a joyous song of praise to my Beloved for His gracious kind gift of healing.
Some folks say Jehovah and Jesus do not care about animals. Ohh yes He does. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Oh praise You Jehovah Rophe (Exodus 15:26 The LORD our Healer ) for blessing us with healing the precious gift of love You had mercy upon and healed him. I praise You in the name of the greatest healer, Jesus Christ. Amen

P.S. The white cat in the photo is Snowball. And boy has he ever brought a lot of happiness to us.
Be wise in the way you live around those who are not Christians. Make good use of your time. Colossians 4:5 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Every day for the last month I have asked Poppa to help me get closer to Him
His reply was to read one Psalms a day. When that is finished read a chapter a day from Proverbs. Next is to meditate on verses that says: Gods says ( there are over four hundred ) and then Jesus says there are over six hundred ). Psalms 1 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Here is what Psalms one says: If you want mental health, stay away from associating with sinners, especially those that laugh at Jehovah.
We are to be respectful towards them at work but to socialize with them is the quickest way to get on the Highway to Hell.
Boy do I know that to be true.
May I suggest the best way to constantly think about the Law all the time is to turn off the garbage on TV, the movies, the music and non-Christian social web sites.
Instead, go to the internet library and download free ebooks, go to sermon audio and listen to great preachers.
Write down what is being said in these books and sermons and talk it over with Jesus.
Pray that The Holy Spirit leads you to Godly mentors and for the privilege of you being one to someone as well.
When we do this not only will it bring you closer to Poppa and other members of His family, it will also heal you from stress, worry and fear.
When we walk with Christ, we walk in confidence while the world walks in confusion. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Bara (The Lord Creator Isaiah 40:28 ) send The Holy Spirit to create a mind set that emulates my idol Jesus Christ in all of my thoughts words and deeds this day so that I may entice the lost to desire to join Your Holy family. I humbly ask this in my idols name, Jesus Christ. Amen

In the past we also were foolish. We did not obey, we were wrong, and we were slaves to many things our bodies wanted and enjoyed. We spent our lives doing evil and being jealous. People hated us, and we hated each other. Titus 3:3 The Holy Bible The New Century Testament
I have found most bad habits start out small but become second nature. Then our minds and bodies crave them like a thirsty man craves a cool drink of water. Many times the cravings become so strong our minds feel as if they are going to explode in a ball of fire. Our bodies feel as if they are on fire and we feel weak and sick. Yes, our minds and bodies wanted them and enjoyed them. When they were not appeased, they punished us with a living fiery living Hell.
When those who belong to Christ do not join in their perverted dance with the devil, they hate us because our living a holy life convicts them of their evil lifestyle.
They hate others because they blame them for their addictions rather than take responsibility for their own actions.
Not my fault it is your fault is the battle cry of every narcissist when things go wrong, even though we tried to warn them. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
I find the worlds pleasures boring, stupid and a waste of time and money. I find The Holy Spirit is the best make over artist there is Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
We all have bad habits and dispositions. They are all centred in the mind. Some willingly some are inherited. They all eventually destroy us.
Unless, we surrender our will to the greatest make over artist there is. His name is: The Holy Spirit.
When we accept Christ as our Savior and King, He sends The Holy Spirit to burn off the bad attributes in our lives. Many are difficult and take time.
Some can only be accomplished by the power of The Holy Spirit. From my experience,these are usually done instantaneously.
Then, there are the ones that are accomplished with team work in harmony with The Holy Spirit. They are more difficult but always victorious in freeing you from that slavery of the addiction. This takes more time.
The last is when we get into counselling with Christian councillors that have walked the walk of your addiction so they understand what you are going through. It is a very painful experience that can take years. Again The Holy Spirit helps us along the difficult parts.
Do not act like the sinful people of the world. Let God change your life. First of all, let Him give you a new mind. Romans 12:2 The Holy Bible The New Life Version
The greatest blessing is Jesus who paid the price for my admission into Heaven.
The second greatest blessing is The Holy Spirit who transforms us from filthy rags into amazingly beautiful worthy to be called children of Jehovah. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) for blessing me with sending The Holy Spirit to either help me conquer my bad habits or the ones that are too strong, He easily smashes their chains upon me as He sets me free of them. I exalt You in the name of the best healer there is Jesus Christ. Amen

Wait for the Lord’s help. Be strong and brave, and wait for the Lord’s help. Psalm 27:14 The Holy Bible The New Century Testament
How can I be brave and strong when troubles are crashing down all around me?
First we must have confidence that the Lord will indeed help us.
To do this we need to read our Bibles about how Jehovah led His people through difficult times.
We must listen to Holy Spirit guided sermons that teach us that Jesus is right there walking through the storms with us.
We must pray to be guided to more mature Christians that have walked through the fire before us so they can encourage us.
Then we must ask for the Lord to bless us with the strength to endure the hard times.
When we pour out our hearts to Him in our pain, fear and anger, He washes away these loathsome destroyers of faith and blesses us with His wonderful peace, assurance and strength.
We must also surrender to Him to mold us during these difficult times to burn off the dross and make our trust in Him ever stronger. This will bless us with a love that grows deeper.
And yes, He is teaching us patience and confidence through these trials.
But the people who trust the Lord will become strong again. Isaiah 40:31 The Holy Bible The New Century Testament
Many times it is when all seems lost that our Love comes to save the day in most unusual ways.
It is times like these that our hearts leap and dance like a crane with joy and cannot stop praising Him.
This is the Lord. We waited for him, so we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us. Isaiah 25:9 The Holy Bible The New Century Testament
We all need The Holy Spirits power to instill in our minds and hearts patience, self control, strength and power every day. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Chatsahi (The Lord is my Strength Psalm 27:1 ) with strengthening my trust in You when You create circumstances where I must have patience and strength to wait for Your timing in Your way for certain events to happen. I praise You in the name of the strongest of them all, Jesus Christ. Amen

God is working in you to help you want to do and be able to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
It is circumstances, music, teachers and dreams that guides us to know the will of Jehovah.
There has been so many times Jehovah desired for me to do something and I had no intention of obeying Him. Then He brought about severe circumstances that forced me to obey Him.
Once such incidence was when I lost a good job and could not get another until moving to the place where He wanted me to be to do the task He desired me to do.
I cannot count the number of times music spoke to me about circumstances that needed to be changed in my life in order for The Holy Spirit to move me to go where He wanted me to be to do the task He desired me to do.
There has been so many mentors in my life either through listening to sermons or talking with a good Christian mentor that move me to go where He wanted me to be to do the task He desired me to do.
As far as dreams are concerned, I have had so many dreams that when I woke up they were burned in my mind and I could not get rid of them until I obeyed what the dream said.
In order to do the will of God, we need Him to guide us on the how, when and where to do it. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You Judges 6:12 )that You are always here patiently conforming me to desire to excel at the work You have prepared for me to do. I praise You in the name of the greatest potter, Jesus Christ. Amen
Surrender your life to Jesus and be prepared for Him to do amazing things in your life and through your life. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 The Holy Bible The New International Version
We are sure of Jehovahs promises of the future that He will always take care of our daily needs like every good Poppa does.
This is not just material things like a place to live, food and clothes but also for our mental and spiritual health as well.
This involves our personal relationships, our employment relationships and our financial relationships.
We need be concerned about them all equally.
It is assurance in Jehovah directing events with our problems. Because we are obedient free will servants of Jesus we have confidence of His promise of a Heavenly home which we cannot even imagine.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful 1 John 1:9, 2 Thessalonians 3:3 ) that I can and do trust Your word that You are faithful to excel at taking care of Your child with whom You love so deeply as we walk this earth and that You have prepared a beautiful home for us in Heaven which we cannot see nor imagine now but have confidence in You that it is there waiting for us. I praise You in the name of He who will greet us with loving arms upon arrival at Heavens Gate, Jesus Christ. Amen
It is because Jehovah loves us so deeply that He always takes the best care of us. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

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.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Yotsero (God our maker Psalm 139:13-16 ) for making me into Your beautiful child. I praise You in the name of my big brother, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with the greatest make over there could ever be at the hands of the greatest make over artist, The Holy Spirit. Joseph a son of Jehovah
