Before We Pray for Ourselves

The more we pray for others before we pray for ourselves, the more heart felt our prayers are. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Is it Not Logical That

You are not a God who is pleased with the wicked; you do not live with those who do evil. Those people who make fun of you cannot stand before you. You hate all those who do evil. You destroy liars; the Lord hates those who kill and trick others. Psalms 4: 4-6 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

Another word for not pleased is very angry.

Is it not logical that a God of love and justice be very angry and those who are selfish and corrupt, the two go hand in hand?

Does not The Holy Spirit dwell in those who belong to Christ?

Then how can He dwell in those who are following satan to Hell?

Do not the stupid, and to reject Jehovah has to be the stupidest thing anyone can do, laugh at Poppa and His children?

Because Poppa is a God of Justice do you not think the wicked are going to suffer both in this life and in the eternal one for their vile deeds?

History dictates that they will.

Seleh- stop and think about it.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohim Shophtim Ba-arets (Psalms 58:11 GOD that Judgeth in the Earth ) that You are a true God of Justice. Thank you that the wicked shall receive what is their just due while the righteous will be rewarded for their due. I praise You in the Righteous name of the Supreme Judge, Jesus Christ. Amen

That is the Best Medicine

 I will lie down and sleep in peace. O Lord, You alone keep me safe. Psalms 4: 8 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

No matter what the stressful situation every time I take it to Poppa, He blesses me with assurance, comfort and peace. That is the best medicine to take. You do not need to see a psychiatrist or start popping poison called pharmaceutical pills which only get you addicted and breaks down your body so you have to take more poison. Yeah the pharma shareholders like it but your body sure does not.

Now of course the second part of the equation is that we must have faith and obey what Poppa instructs us to do.

So we will say you have gallstones and Poppa instructs you to cut back on your coffee.

Your reply is up yours.

Then you cry because you have gallstone.

Duh?

This morning, I prayed because my cat ( my comforter which is needed because of the challenge of being a live in care giver which is the most stressful thing I have ever done ) due to concerns he was still having elliptic seizure even though he has started taking medication. Because I love him there was a concern of putting him down because I do not want him to suffer.

I left the choice in Poppas loving hands and trusted Him while having rivers of tears flowing down my cheeks.

When I got on the internet later in the day, He guided me to a site that explained the medication much more in depth and that it would take a while for the medication to take effect. I greatly praised Him as now my heart beats with joy again.

The reason worriers die sooner than non-worriers is because we have peace of mind that can only come from trusting Jehovah in every aspect of our lives. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide ) for blessing me with the medicine to help my buddy and the knowledge that everything will be alright and it will just take a while. I praise You in the name of He who raised Lazarus when the time was right, Jesus Christ, Amen

Seleh- stop and think about it.

Lessons Satan Taught Me

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

I have found satan constantly torments me when I am swimming laps.

I do three different types of strokes for fifteen minutes each.

He constantly torments me that I am too tiered, the time is too long, my body is too old to do these anymore. You almost did fifteen minutes why not quit now.

I persist in continuing and at the end feel pretty good about the accomplishment.

If satan constantly torments me in the pool, think of how much he torments each of us in our daily walk with Jesus and to just slack off a little bit here and there or not bother with this or that as Christ is directing us. We can put it off or quit early.

I do not believe The Holy Spirit will help us but that we must make the commitment ourselves to be obedient unto Christ rather than the world.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to encourage me to succeed while satan it tormenting me to surrender in defeat. I praise You in the name of He who defeated satan on the cross, Jesus Christ.

AmenSeleh- stop and think about it.

Sponges are Like Christian Testimony

There are 5 sponges laying on your kitchen counter top. Each member of your family has been cleaning up different areas of your home, but all the sponges look the same. You are curious as to what was cleaned in your home, but you can’t tell by looking…they all look the same…so what do you do?

You squeeze each sponge to see what comes out.

As you squeeze the first sponge, you see that cola comes out, and so you decide that someone cleaned the kitchen with that one. Upon squeezing the second sponge, you find tub and tile cleaner – that one was used to clean the bathroom. Next, in the third sponge, you find motor oil – hubby was cleaning the garage! In the fourth sponge, baby powder puffs out when it is squeezed – yep, the baby’s nursery was done with that one! And finally, in the last one, is floor wax – that was the one you used on the hall floor!

As you lay the last one down, you look again at their similarity – and they all look the same until they’re squeezed.

Christians are the same way.

As life squeezes us, different things come out; anger from one, a need for revenge from another, tears from one, remorse from yet another – also greed, untruth, lust – and finally, from one saint, pours forth the love of Christ.

Just like the sponge, we can only squeeze out what is put in – stay in the Word daily, and be in continuous prayer, so that when life puts the squeeze on you (and it WILL), Jesus, and Jesus ALONE will shine forth from you!

Have a blessed, squeaky clean day!

The Reason for That Is

You have filled my heart with more happiness than they have when there is much grain and wine. Psalms 4: 7 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

I would like to change happiness to joyfulness.

The reason for that is that happiness is dependent upon physical thing while joyfulness is spiritual.

Happiness cannot ever compare to joyfulness. It is like comparing a hot dog to a steak.

I am grateful for the physical blessing Poppa has blessed me with but remember the spiritual ones far longer and when I remember them it still makes my heart dance with joy. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Simchath Gili (Psalms 43:4 GOD My Exceeding Joy ) for blessing me with Your Heavenly treasure of joy through out the day, every day. I praise You in the name of He with whom I find the greatest joy in spending time with, Jesus Christ. Amen

Seleh- stop and think about it.

To Help Me Imitate Everything I

Take time to be holy, let him be thy guide, and run not before him, whatever be tide. In joy or in sorrow, still follow the Lord, and, looking to Jesus, still trust in his word.

Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul, each thought and each motive beneath his control. Thus led by his spirit to fountains of love, thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.

We all imitate that which we love. That is why every morning I pray for Jesus to bless me to help me imitate everything I say and do through out the day Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

You Could See it in Their Eyes.

There are things about him that people cannot see—his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy to understand by what God has made. So people have no excuse for the bad things they do. Romans 1:20 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

I believe there is some point in everyone’s life where Jehovah reveals Himself through creation.

I personally witnessed it every year when a tree planter. You could see it in their eyes. But it was only for a few fleeting moments.

The wicked choose to believe in the theory of evolution, even that they evolved from monkeys, rather than give glory to Jehovah. That is the ultimate act of stupidity. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bore (Isaiah 40:28 The LORD Creator ) for blessing me with revealing Yourself to me in Your wonderful creation. It showed how awesome, magnificent, creative and all powerful You are. I praise You in the name of He who created giants of disciples who were timid little mice, Jesus Christ. Amen

Seleh- stop and think about it.

It is That Time Again.

I agree with Winston Churchill who said: “ The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn.’

If you read history we always go in cycles of when societies become liberal it is always followed by wars, disease that wipes out millions, financial markets collapse, crops fail. This leads to total disaster world wide.

It is that time again.

Terrible things will happen to you in the future when you do what the Lord says is evil, and you will make him angry with the idols you have made.” Deuteronomy 31:29 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

Now is the future.

What idols do we have?

Well, we have consumerism where many in society place more value on things and little on each other. They use people and worship things.

As well, we worship homosexuality. When society embraces such unnatural things it always brings destruction upon families ( which is the back bone of any good society ) and disease to the populations like syphilis. The society becomes weak and collapses. Look it up in the past two hundred years and see the pattern.

We have corrupt judges that make decisions based upon their feelings instead of based upon Gods Law and take bribes to boot.

Jehovah will only tolerate this for so long and then look out. We encourage destructive behaviour like drug abuse.

How much drug abuse is because of big pharma so they can make the all mighty dollar?

They encourage laziness.

Look how the governments are handing out money for some to sit at home and get drunk or high.

I will pour out my anger against you; I will carry out my anger against you. I will judge you for the way you have lived and will make you pay for everything you have done that I hate. I will show no pity, and I will not hold back punishment. I will pay you back for the way you have lived and the things you have done that I hate. Then you will know that I am the Lord who punishes. Ezekiel 7:8–9 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

That is why the Lord says: “Look, I am planning trouble against such people, and you won’t be able to save yourselves. You will no longer walk proudly, because it will be a terrible time. Micah 2:3 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

Jesus said: “I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well.” Luke 13:5 The Holy Bible The Christian Standard Bible

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Machsi (Psalms 91:9 The LORD My Refuge ) that when the self inflicted disaster strikes the liberal minded in punishment for their rejection of following You directions, You shall be a refuge for Your children and protect us from this calamity. I praise You in the name of He who protected His disciples in the storm on the lake, Jesus Christ. Amen

Seleh- stop and think about it.

To Find Out If

The Bereans were eager to hear what Paul and Silas said and studied the Scriptures every day to find out if these things were true. Acts 17:11 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

If everybody behaved like the Bereans did, do you think we would have suffered through two years of the covid scam?

How many other scams and suffering could be prevented if men and women would stop being so lazy and take the time and energy to listen to the opposing side of a debate?

And of course if we all searched the scriptures every day and obeyed what The Holy Spirit is speaking to us how many of us would not fall for scams because Jehovah was warning us about them?

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for blessing me with the best tutor, The Holy Spirit to guide me to verses in Your Book of wisdom ( the Bible ) and explaining them to me in a easy manner for me to understand how to live by Gods Law which affects every aspect f my mental, physical, financial, and spiritual welfare. I praise You in the name of the best Rabbi, Jesus Christ. Amen

Seleh- stop and think about it.
