He is Close to Those Who

The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

When tornadoes hit the best place to be is in the basement. Even though the winds may pick up the house, fling it around and totally destroy it, you are safe in the basement.

So too it is with Jehovah. When financial, physical or mental troubles come, always run into His strong yet gentle arms for protection.

One time I felt the Lord instructing me to take a different route to go to the school I was teaching at. I argued that it was longer but He was insistent. I obeyed and was glad for it. There was a terrible car accident and I would have had to take an even longer route around the disaster.

Even though a lot of times it does not make sense, obey Jehovahs instructions for you. It will prevent a lot of hardship and sorrow later. Joseph a son of Jehovah

But, there is no sense in calling out for help if you do not trust Him.

So if you call out to the Lord for protection and refuse to listen then why blame Him when things go south.

So, if someone is abusing you and He instructs you to get away from them and you refuse to leave, why blame Him for not rescuing you from an abusive relationship?

I know some one who is a live in care giver for a abusive mother. Finally the Lord gave them instructions on how to be loving but firm with their charge. As well, they are to keep their interaction with them to a limited amount. Since obeying Him, there is a lot less stress in my their.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohe Yeshuathi (Psalms 88:1 LORD GOD of My Salvation ) for blessing me with salvation from an abusive relationship. Thank you for teaching me how to behave in a loving but firm manner so that I can shine Your love while refusing to be abused. I greatly appreciate You in the name of He who stood up to bullies, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be greatly blessed with the knowledge of the proper manner to respond to a bully to shine Jesus’ love while protecting yourself from abuse. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Then You Will Learn to Know

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

We all inherit bad dispositions from our ancestors. Some are good. Some are bad.

We know we should not do the bad things but no matter how hard we try to stop doing them, we fail every time. The only way to cleanse ourselves of these destructive forces with in us is to totally surrender them unto Jehovah.

There are three ways this is accomplished. One, He blesses us with the strength to conquer them ourselves.

Two we work in conjunction with The Holy Spirit to destroy them. To do these first two means we must surrender our will to The Holy Spirits will.

Not my will, but Thy will be done is the only way for true success. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The third way is when the sin is too powerful with in us. It can only be eradicated through the power of The Holy Spirit who is sent by Jehovah.

When this has happened with me there was nothing dramatic about it. One day I woke up and the Lord softy whispered in my ear : “ It is finished.” and I never partook of that destructive habit again.

It is important for everyone to research their ancestry to understand why they are the way they are. It is more important to surrender our will to allow the Holy Spirit to mold us into the beautiful children Jehovah desires us to be. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper ) for blessing me with the best helper of all to assist me in becoming what I know You desire for me to be, The Holy Spirit. I praise You in the name of He with whom I deeply desire to emulate, Jesus Christ. Amen.

May you be blessed with the washing away of the filth of destructive habits to be replaced with the Holy ones Jehovah knows we are

Be Committed Unto Him

The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Do not ever think that Jehovah is sleeping or does not care about the trials and tribulations or your sorrows.

However, there is an important prerequisite to receiving His help.

You must first be committed to Him.

So if you behave like a spoiled brat and only go to Him when you want something from Him, why should you expect anything from Him?

He desires a loving relationship with you.

If you do not love Him, why should He love you?

If you do not love Jehovah, Jesus or The Holy Spirit, why should you expect them to love you? Joseph a son of Jehovah

The second part is that you must be obedient unto Him.

Because He is all wise He knows what is best for you.

Because He loves you , He only wants what is best for you.

But, He cannot do anything if you refuse to listen to and obey Him.

So if you want to save money for a down payment for a house or to go to school and He instructs you to stop foolishly wasting your money in coffee shops and you refuse to listen, why cry baby because you have no money for a house or school?

As well, as Jesus Christ is our King that makes us His free willed servants.

The servant does not tell the King what to do but rather is obedient unto the King. Joseph a son of Jehovah

So, if Jesus is telling you to forgive someone and you refuse, then why expect His help?

It is a fact that anger and bitterness causes many illnesses in both the body and the mind.

Therefore, if you need the Lords strength, be committed unto Him and will become immeasurably more committed unto you.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Emunah (Deuteronomy 7:9 The Faithful GOD ) for blessing me with always being faithful in Your love towards me. Please bless me with the same dedication unto You because I love You so dearly. I humbly thank You and request this in the name of He who is faithful in His love for me all the way to the cross, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with an eternal affair with the most faithful lover Jesus Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The Holy Spirit Elohim Ozer Li

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. James 1:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

There has been oh so many times I have tried to figure things out for myself. I mistakenly believed that was part of being a mature man. I thought I was weak if I asked for help.

Boy, was I wrong.

The Holy Spirit patiently waited for me to exhaust myself and in complete surrender call out to Jehovah to send Him to me to straighten out the mess. It was amazing the simple yet effective suggestions He blessed me with that brought about a successful resolution to the matter.

The Holy Spirit is the best Guidance Councilor there ever was, is or can be. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you my Beloved Poppa for sending the best Mentor, The Holy Spirit Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper ) for helping me solve difficult situations in my life. I love the simple, yet effective manner in which He leads me to victory over the challenging situation. I praise You both in the name of He who always blesses with the best advice, Jesus Christ. Amen

Thank you Awesome Jehovah Bore

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster , to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray , I will listen. Jeremiah 29:10-12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

If anybody had of informed me or anyone who knew me when I was a child , just what Jehovah was going to do with my life , I think we would have rolled on the ground laughing our heads off. You are going to do what with that sick shy little boy.

Today I am amazed at just what He has accomplished in my life and through my life. Where He has taken me all over the world and the things accomplished through Him. Both , in my life , and in my service unto Him. At that time there was no idea of what prayer meant.

It has taken decades to learn to enjoy the most beautiful of conversations with those I dearly love : Jehovah , Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Give your life completely to Jehovah our Heavenly Poppa , Jesus Christ , our Heavenly King and The Holy Spirit , our most amazing mentor. You will be amazed at just what they will accomplish in your life and through your life. Joseph a son of Jehovah.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bore ( Isaiah 40:28 The LORD Creator ) for the honour of being created as Your holy child. The world looks for meaning and purpose in life. You have given me a meaning of being a member of Your sanctified family and a purpose of being a servant of the most majestic King, Jesus Christ. This is the most fulfilling reason of existence there ever can be. I exalt You in the name of the King I am honoured to serve, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed to be grafted into the most beautiful family there can ever be, Jehovahs and find meaning in your life by serving the most exalted of all kings, Jesus Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah. This article and photo @ 2021 Joseph a son of Jehovah.

Will Set You Free.

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

There is so much disinformation out there it is difficult to know the truth.

Well, not really.

All it takes to learn the truth is a Bible , a willing heart , commitment and an obedient heart unto Jehovah , Jesus and The Holy Spirit.

Now you may say that is all well and done learning about God but what about the rest of my life?

Again , take time to read your Bible every day , pray that The Holy Spirit guides you to understanding along the way. There is not one part of your life that is not covered in the Bible. Get daily devotionals like Our Daily Bread or go to crosswalk.com/ devotionals. Now there is a treasure trove of devotionals that can be sent right to your email box every morning. There is also a great site called https://www.5minutediscipleship.com/ you can listen to every day. You can go on sermonadio.com and find fantastic preachers that will speak to your heart and mind. Personally , my preference is for the old puritan ones like Charles Spurgeon or Jonathan Edwards . For modern ones I like Allister Begg.

While you are reading the Bible will free you of depression , anger , confusion , worry and fear. It will guide on every step of your life , if you are willing to submit to its guidance.

I know , I have been following it for over forty years.

Sometimes , I refused to listen and obey what was being said to me. Boy did I pay the price for it too.

There have been so many times it took a huge leap of faith ( trust ) to put into practice what was being said because it did not make sense to me at the time. When all was said and done, revelation came to me what was happening and why. And , boy was I ever glad to have been obedient unto The Holy Spirits direction in the matter.

Many times in a Christians life obedience comes before understanding. Joseph a son of Jehovah.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah for blessing me with The Holy Spirit Rabbi (God our Teacher 2 Timothy 3:16 ) to educate me and tutor me in the manner in which to incorporate Your Divine wisdom into my daily life. It has prevented many disasters and led me to brilliant victories. I exalt You in the name of the greatest Teacher of all , Jesus Christ. Amen

Lead Me in The

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 ?

More Blessed are All Who

Jesus replied,“ But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” Luke 11:28 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

I have seen so many men and women that listen intently to what is being taught in a sermon or Bible class. They ask great questions. They take notes of the lesson.

Then, they walk out and do whatever they want and ignore what was just taught to them.

Those type are also the type to be proud and arrogant as they carry around their Bible. The finger pointing type that is quick to condemn others while ignoring worse filth in their own lives.

I shake my head in astonishment at them.

Do not just listen to the word, put it into practice in your daily life or you are only fooling yourself. You are not impressing true believers and you most certainly are not impressing Jehovah Joseph a son of Jehovah

Now mind you, we are all guilty to a degree in this which is why when revelation comes to me I almost beg The Holy Spirit to incorporate it into my life because it is for my own good.

Prayer: Please Holy Spirit Rabbi (God our Teacher)2 Timothy 3:16 thank you for helping me improve my life through Your wise teachings but please also bless me with incorporating them into my daily life.

I humbly request this in the name of He who walked the walk He taught, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with a receptive and obedient heart unto the great Teacher to help you live a holy life that is pleasing to our Heavenly Poppa, Jehovah

The Same Thing as A

A man who makes a vow to the Lord or makes a pledge under oath must never break it. He must do exactly what he said he would do. Numbers 30:2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

A pledge is the same thing as a contract.

A contract can be verbal as well as written.

It can be between friends, or family as well as an employer. When you make a pledge to do something or not do something you should work your hardest to fulfill that pledge to the letter.

Anything else is a lie and Jehovah detests liars. Jehovah takes your word seriously, so you better as well.

The Lord detests lying lips. Proverbs 12:22 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

A man or woman is only as good as their word. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Now if circumstances beyond your control happen and you cannot fulfill the pledge that is forgivable.

Prayer: Please Holy Spirit El Emunah (Deuteronomy 7:9 The Faithful GOD ) bless me with the wisdom of when to say yes and when to say no. Please bless me with the fortitude to let my word be law in my life. I deeply implore this of You in the name of He whose word is the supreme law, Jesus Christ. Amen

May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every day Joseph a son of Jehovah
