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

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.

Sing Praises to The

They Have No Right

But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

In todays world we true Christians are becoming public enemy # one. The reason for this is because we stand on the solid rock of truth found within the pages of the Bible while society is standing on the shifting sands of immorality.

What is sick and disgusting to Jehovah is not only accepted by society but encouraged by it. When we stand for the truth they are offended and want to silence us.

In many so called democratic countries they abuse our rights to silence us by calling us intolerant , fining us , having get fired from our job and even imprisoning us.

Yes men and women have a right to choose the lifestyle they desire to live. But , they have no right shoving down our throats in our personal lives , family lives , societal lives or in our businesses.

I say you can beat me , imprison me , and torture me but in the end , the truth is still the truth. You cannot change that. Joseph a son of Jehovah

And yes , there were many times where those events came close to happening to me for standing on the solid ground of Jesus Christ. Through it all , the Holy Spirit blessed me with peace , love , joy , wisdom and strength. Truly, what can mere mortals do to me when I have someone like Him standing right there beside me?

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emet (God of truthTitus 1:2 ) for blessing me with revealing Your truth in my mind and heart. Thank you for blessing me with the courage , wisdom and grace to stand on Your holy solid ground of truth even when the world tries to drag me off of it and into the sewer of sin where they love it dwell. I thank you in the name of He whom I always try to emulate in the walk of truth , Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with walking the road of truth instead of swimming in the sewer of filthy lies that ends at Hells Gate. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Would you please pray that focus on the family finds a suitable president ?

These Lies Can Destroy Your

You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again. Psalm 71:21 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

In this instance honor means good name or public esteem , a showing of respect Merriam Webster Dictionary

Many times our honour is dragged through the mud for the sake of Jesus Christ.

There are men and women who love to gossip. Gossip is a little truth and a whole lot of lies. These lies can destroy your reputation and even cost you your job. Joseph a son of Jehovah

When I was a teacher , I would have the children sit in a circle. Then a sentence would be written down on a piece of paper I would whisper the sentence to a child and they would whisper it to the next and so on until it came back to me. It NEVER came back the same as what was originally said. That , is what gossip is like.

Then , there are those who hate us for belonging to Jesus and will deliberately spread vicious lies about us. What I have experienced though is that the truth always comes out. We are not only vindicated but respected more because we did not viciously attempt to defend ourselves but silently waited for Jehovah to work it out.

The Holy Spirit comforts us , encourages us , strengthens us and teaches us throughout this ordeal.

The more the world drags your honour through the mud , the more it is exalted in Heaven Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Roi ( You are the God who sees Proverbs 15:3 ) for seeing the disgusting manner in which my good name is callously dragged through the mud by those who detest You and because I belong to You , they detest me just as much. Thank you that You will pick it up though the mud , clean it off and place it in a mantle of honour in our Heavenly home. I thank you in the name of He who has the place of greatest honour , Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with confidence that Jehovah places your name of honour in a place of dignity in His eternal home. Joseph a son of Jehovah

With Each Step Of

Your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing. 2 Thessalonians 1:3 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Flourish means to to grow abundantly , to achieve success , to be in a state of activity or production , to reach a height of development or influence , to make bold and sweeping gestures Merriam Webster Dictionary

To me faith also means to trust.

The more you walk with Jesus Christ , the more you are going to go through very difficult times because of it.

With each step of maturity you are going to experience The Holy Spirit leading you to go places you never dreamed of and preforming duties unto Jesus you never though capable of.

Each step of the way The Holy Spirit either helps you develop your God given skills, teaches you to work in harmony with Him or to step back and surrender your will to His and let Him do the work.

Each step builds your faith and helps you become more mature and confident. Each step leads to bigger and bigger challenges.

Your suffering for Jesus is not in vain.

It moulds you ever closer to the Heavenly Trio. Joseph a son of Jehovah

With Jesus Christ as our King our service unto Him is to guide others to His kingdom. This can only be accomplished through love.

Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Jehovah Immeka ( Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for walking with me on the rugged road to Heaven. Thank you for blessing me with You Divine strength , encouragement and guidance on this difficult journey. Thank you that You have helped me draw ever closer in my amazing loving relationship with my Beloved Poppa Jehovah , amazing best friend Jesus Christ and of course , You , the most awesome mentor. I exalt Youse all in the name of He with whom I worship Jesus Christ. Amen

May your difficulties draw you ever closer to Jehovah , Jesus Christ , and the Holy Spirit. Joseph a son of Jehovah

I Cannot Unfold The

It is only a tiny rosebud
A flower of God’s design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
Yet in my hands, they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
The flower of God’s design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So, I’ll trust in Him for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the Pilgrim’s way. Anonymous

Is Walking Right There Beside You

Do not be afraid , for I am with you. Do not 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 , The New Living Testament

One time during a particular tribulation I began to meditate upon on the goodness our Heavenly Beloved has bestowed upon me and oh so many times He was walked with me through the hard times. My heart was transformed from one of desperation , and weeping to explosive joy.

Now I understand where it says to sing joyfully during difficult experiences. I understand now how we can rejoice and sing praises in our suffering. As we suffer we call out to our Beloved. He reminds us of all the times He has rescued us before and it gladdens our heart. We cannot help but sing out in praise and joy songs of adulation.

Then we reflect on how He will deliver us from what ever trails and troubles , sorrows and snares we are experiencing now. This leads us to sing ever more exuberantly of joy and love for such an amazing Heavenly Father.

Jesus loves you , Jesus Cares , Jesus is always there. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohim Ozer Li ( Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper ) For always helping me through my trials and tribulations , sorrows and snares. Thank you for Your loving comfort , strength and encouragement through it all. Thank you that these terrible times have been a blessing in that it draws us ever closer to each other and for them maturing me into the child You know I can be. I praise You in the name of He who has walked the walk before me , Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with knowing that He whose love none can compare is walking right there beside you during the most difficult times and will guide you through them all. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Follow the Leading of the Greatest

And you will know the truth , and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

I am sure that most of us know about the underground railroad that helped slaves reach freedom. The manner in which they reached it was through the sharing of knowledge of where to go to get to states where they were free.

Jesus helps us understand how that sin is wrong and leads to a life of misery and eternal damnation. He guides us on how to free ourselves of its destructive enslavement to our minds, bodies and spirits ( through the guidance of the Holy Spirit ).

We however must be obedient unto the Holy Spirits guidance.

Just as the slaves took great risk in obeying while not knowing where they were going so too must we.

Just as their final destination was rewarded with freedom, so too is ours.

Theirs was temporary freedom in a physical body while ours is an eternal one in Jehovahs home for us.

Following the greatest leader, leads us to a Heavenly home. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Oh thank you ever so much my Beloved Jehovah Hoshe’ah ( The Lord Saves Psalm 20:9 ) for saving me from a destructive lifestyle that leads to eternal damnation. Please bless me with complete and total faith in You even though I know not where You are leading me down the pathway to Heaven or how. I respectfully request this and thank you for this in the name of the greatest pathfinder of them all, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed to always follow the leading of the greatest pathfinder ever. Joseph a son of Jehovah
