I will never fail you. I will never abandon you. Hebrews 13:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
This promise has brought light to my darkest days.
When I was planting trees, the camps were like Sodom and Gomorrah a lot of sex, drugs and booze. Their morals fit the description as well. That is why I camped outside of it. So many times there was such an overpowering feeling of loneliness and as if it was the world against me. Upon praying to my Beloved, He would comfort me with this verse.
The same was true in China where morals were considered stupid and for fools. This was true not just with most Chinese but with the majority of foreign teachers as well.
Then, there was the crucifixion. That is where whatever or whomever you love must have that love crucified. That does not mean you do not love them anymore ( although it may ) it means you do not put them above Christ. It was my most painful experience and it was when Christ softly whispered this verse in my ear that there was strength to carry on.
No matter what you are going through our loving strong Christ is walking through it with you. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Pyyrand (Jesus my best friend John 15:15 ) that You are the truest friend ever. You are always by my side through thick and thin. Through the sunshine and through the storms. I exalt You in Your loving name. Amen.
May you take comfort and gain strength that Christ is with you always.

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There has been so many times in my life when I was so discouraged there was no peace to be found anywhere. UNTIL, I got down on my knees and poured my heart out to our Heavenly Poppa. He sent the Holy Spirit to me and was blessed with an all encompassing peace which can only come from God.
There has been so many times in my life where it was one failure after another or , one disaster after another. It felt as if a huge boulder was being dragged around with me pulling it. Then, I got down on my knees and poured my heart out to our Beloved Heavenly Poppa. He sent The Holy Spirit to not only encourage me but to follow Him . Obedience brought success. Not instantly and most times not without a lot of pain but with great rejoicing at the success when completed.
Following the Holy Spirit’s guidance always brings to success. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
There has been so many times when it felt as if I was the only one on the planet, feeling extremely depressed. Then, I poured out my heart to our Heavenly, Beloved Poppa. He softly gently so spoke to me with reassuring words that affirmed He would never leave me nor forsake me because He loves me so much. An overwhelming all encompassing experience of peace and love filled every molecule in my body. No matter the situation, pour it out completely at Jehovahs loving feet. He loves you so much He cannot but help offer you the best remedy for whatever ails you. He is the best Heavenly loving Poppa. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
Prayer: With the deepest respect, awe, admiration and love I thank you Jehovah Abba (God our Father 1 John 3:1 ) for blessing me into Your holy family. The most precious treasure in my life is the loving relationship shared between You, Jesus and The Holy Spirit and me.
Thank you my love. Oh thank you. I praise You in the name of my big brother, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with being adopted into the greatest family ever and with spending copious amounts of time with they who love you ever so dearly. Joseph a son of Jehovah.

Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. Hebrews 2:18 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Many folks feel it is senseless to come to Christ with our worries, hurts and problems because He is the big god in Heaven and does not care about mere mortals.
Yes He does.
There is not one crisis that you encounter that Christ has not been through.
He experienced the death of a good friend, was betrayed by another. He experienced homelessness and hunger. He was rejected by loved ones and was hated by the politically correct, even though He was trying to help them. He helped so many yet so few thanked Him. Even then, it was outsiders that thanked Him and not those in His national family ( the Jews ) . And of course, let us not forget the temptation in the wilderness when He was weak, hungry and exhausted.
No matter the situation, Jesus has been there, Jesus cares and when you depend upon Him, He will guide you through them all. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: It is with the greatest gratitude that I thank you Jesus Immanuel (God is with us John 15:1-27 ) that You have suffered like we do and so much more. Because of this, who better to run to when lifes tragedies come crashing down upon us.
Thank You.
Thank you for always being there.
Thank you for Your gentle, soft reassurance during these difficult times.
Thank you for Your encouragement, strength and guidance in resolving these catastrophes.
It is in Your magnificent loving name I exalt You. Amen May you always run to the loving arms of Christ when calamity comes a crashing through your door. Joseph a son of Jehovah T

This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:15-16 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you kindly Jehovah Chatsahi (The Lord is my Strength Psalm 27:1 ) for walking amongst us so You understand the trials and temptations, the tribulations and sorrows we experience in our daily life.
As such, when I come to You seeking help You bless ME with: strength where I am weak and the opportunity to use this strength to help others. The mercy to forgive me when I succumb to my weakness and repent of them.
May I extend that to those who repent when they have wronged me. The gentleness of a loving friend to teach others how to be members of Jehovahs holy family when they are uneducated in the proper etiquette befitting such a noble family.
May I guide others to behave in such a regal manner.
I humbly implore You to grant this petition this in Your gracious name. Amen.
May you be blessed with copious amounts of tutoring at the Masters feet to enable you to be a grand example of a noble family and plenty of opportunities to use them.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Oh Jehovah Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace Isaiah 9:6, Rom 8:31-35 ) I thank you so much that I can always come to you with whatever is upsetting me. Every time You calm me down with Your gentle loving Divine peace and then softly speak to me and help relieve the stress I am experiencing.
Then You wisely explain the answer to all my questions and stressful situations. I am grateful that You have taught me to always come to You before I take any action.
I praise You in the name of the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ. Amen
Those who pray first, wait for the Lords answer and then be obedient unto His instruction have a lot less stress in their lives. Joseph a son of Jehovah

May the LORD, calm your anxious heart and the urgent demand for quick results. May He help you to wait on Him, trusting that His timing is perfect.” Joseph a son of Jehovah
For simpletons turn away from me—to death. Fools are destroyed by their own complacency. Proverbs 1:32 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
I find it happens slowly without you even realizing it.
It is the same with the individual as with a nation.
Just look around. Even twenty years ago you would not see the filth on TV that you see today. We call it tolerance but it is filth.
Today we see homosexuals in Boy Scouts as scout leaders because we have to be tolerant of their lifestyle and then the scouts getting sued because children are being abused by these disgusting creatures. We call it tolerance but it is filth and innocent children are getting hurt because of it.
“People don’t drift toward holiness, they drift toward compromise and call it tolerance, and drift toward disobedience and call it freedom.” D. A. Carson
We see folks living as they want to live instead of the constraints of civilized society and now we see the break up of families and folks stupidly going in debt of which they will never get out of. That is the reward for your freedom.
We see liberoltards suggesting there be no constraints on illegal drugs and then cry baby because of increasing poverty and increasing crime. Instead of trying to get them off of the drugs and becoming contributing members of society.
The further we get away from Jehovahs guidelines of what is right and what is wrong, the closer we get to destruction of the individual and of society. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah KalEl (voice of God Isaiah 30:21 ) for speaking the truth to me and for blessing me with Your Divine guidance in my life. It may not be politcally correct but it is certainly Christ correct. I praise You in the name of He who always lived a life of truth Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Jehovahs truth always guide your steps. Joseph a son of Jehovah

“Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” Galatians 1:10 New International; Version.
I remember in the sixties and seventies when the mantra was: sex, drugs and rock and roll. Being an infant in Christ I knew this was wrong and refused to go along with the crowd. Yes I was laughed at and bullied a lot, but still wouldn’t back down.
Now over forty years later when I go back home sometimes I run into that crowd. Boy do they look ancient. Their bodies are all broken down from living in the fast lane. They are shells of human beings. They have no family or real friends. They have no real purpose in life, yet stubbornly cling to those destructive dogmas. Many of them are either homeless or living in decrepit buildings. I look at them and ask them: “So how’s that going now eh, with your sex, drugs and rock and roll?”
It is not that I am being arrogant towards them but am asking if they have had enough of this life and am willing to come to Christ. They all laugh and are proud of their lifestyle (although I do not know why) and mock me for being a Christian.
No man is free who is a slave to the flesh. Seneca
I on the other hand have slowly over decades blossomed into a beautiful flower for Christ. Yes my service to Him has been hard, but He was and is with me every step of the way. We have planted a lot of seeds all over the world. Walking with Jesus brings a life filled with divine love, joy and hope.
If someone is trying to manipulate you into doing drugs or having premarital sex don’t walk away from them, RUN.
As surely as the sun rises is the east so too will the vile wickeds lifestyle lead to pain, emptiness, heartache and loneliness. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Take it from an old fart that has both lived it and seen it. You are too precious to Jesus to throw your life away.
”If we (freely) admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins (dismiss our lawlessness) and (continuously) cleanse us from all unrighteousness (everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action)” 1 John 1:9The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
If you are living that lifestyle now call out to Jesus now. He is always there, He always cares. He loves you.
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him firm in your faith, the God of all grace, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.” 1 Peter 5: 6-10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Tsidkenu (The Lord is Righteousness) I Cor 1:30 for blessing me with the wisdom of what is righteous and the strength to walk in its path and to not deviate from it. Thank you for being so gracious as to forgive me when I stray from that path and realize it and repent You eagerly help me to regain my footing upon the Path of Righteousness. I exalt You in the name of He who is the epitimy of righteousness Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with peace and joy every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah
“I want to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering” Philippians 3:10 The Holy Bible, The New Transaltion Version
Have you been there yet?
You know, have you walked through the valley of Hell. A place of fire and torment.
I have. It was during a toxic relationship. The person was terribly abusive, mean spirited,selfish and cruel. I stayed believing I could help this person. Of course they must want to resolve their issues and take action themselves. This person did not want to change their behavior. Finally I walked away.
Then, came another time of hell, the time of recovering from the abuse. I kept on calling out to God, but He was silent.
Thankfully God did direct me to the resources needed to recover. It took a year.
Through that time I developed a very deep and personal relationship with God. There was no other way for this relationship to exist except my going through the hell first to get rid of the toxic relationship that put a chasm between us.
In time the wounds were healed and my spirit resurrected into the family of Christ.
If you are going through the fire right now perhaps it in necessary to burn off bad habits or beliefs.
My trying to serve this abusive person prevented me from serving God. So, He just stepped back and allowed the abusive person to do their worst (a boy did they do a job on me) to burn off my feeling of obligation to them. Once the relationship ended, then came the healing.
Through the healing came a deep love for and respect for God.
So too is it possible for you.
If you are going through that hell, whether it be an addiction or toxic relationship or health or financial problems perhaps it is because you need to have something burned off that restricts you from your relationship with God.
Yes definitely get help.
I am so happy I did.
They helped open my eyes to a lot of things that has helped me ever since. At the completion of this time your spirit will be resurrected into a close relationship with God.
Believe me it hurts God too to have to step back and watch you go through this, but it is necessary.
Even though it hurts our Beloved to watch, He does step back and allow us to go through Hell to get us into Heaven. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) Judges 6:12 for blessing me with walking through my time of torment and agony. Thank you for healing me when You finally had enough and guided me away from the tormentor. I would never had made it without You. With my deepest gratitude I thank you in the name of the greatest Healer of all, Jesus Christ. Amen
May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ.Joseph a son of Jehovah
“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. “ Proverbs 12:25 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Anxiousness is described as feeling or showing uncomfortable feelings of uncertainty .
We have all encountered those around us that are suffering. How many have reached out and touched them with healing kindness ?
How can we help them ?
The best thing to do is to show you care by listening to their problems ( Jehovah takes the time to listen to our problems should we not emulate Him by doing the same for those that are suffering around us ? ) .
We are not just talking about the homeless .
We are talking about those that are suffering a disease . Yes , for many , going into a hospital is an uncomfortable experience but how comfortable do you think it is for them. Why not go in and reminisce with them about the good ol days . Why not go in with some photo’s of happy times . Speaking from experience you will be amazed at the amount of good you accomplish.
We are talking about those who are having difficulty in their studies or at work. Those of us who are older can relate and provide encouraging words to strengthen , guide them and encourage them. What about those that are experiencing relationship problems like with marriage or children? Again , those of us who are older have walked that walk and can provide positive affirmation to them by our experiences which will guide them , strengthen them and reassure them .
There are so many other opportunities available unto you Christian. All you have to do is be available , pray and be obedient unto Jehovahs guidance where your help is needed.
Prayer: Please Jehovah-Machsi – Lord my Refuge bless me with the opportunity to be a refuge unto those enduring trials and tribulations , sorrows and snares just as You are for me. Bless me with Your divine wisdom , grace , meekness and humbleness to help them as You have aboundingly done for me . I humbly request this in the name of He who was a refuge to the poor , the sick and the weak when He walked amongst us Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. Matthew 11:29 Holy Bible Amplified Version
We all suffer from trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares.
The difference between the ones walking in darkness and those of us that are walking in the light is that we have a Father in Heaven that loves us, cares for us and about us.
We have a choice. We can carry the world on our shoulders, or we can say, “I give up, Lord; here’s my life. I give you my world, the whole world.” –Bruce Larson
They have no one that has the perfect healing touch. Jesus loves you.
Jesus cares. Jesus is always there. Joseph- Anthony: Green
When we suffer the loss of a loved one we can always take our pain and sadness to Jesus. Do not forget how he weeped at His friends grave.
When we have lost our homes do not forget that Jesus was homeless.
When we are sick do not forget the sick Jesus healed.
When we have been betrayed do not forget how one of His own disciples betrayed Him. When our family and or friends reject us because of our walk towards our heavenly home do not forget how Jesus’ own family rejected and bitterly mocked Him.
When we suffer from exhaustion do not forget how exhausted Jesus was from his preaching and healing.
When we are facing death from a slow disease killer do not forget how Jesus knew about the type of death He must suffer.
Because Jesus walked amongst us He has experienced everything we have and so much more.
Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him and expect help from Him, He will never fail you. —George Müller
So when we are experiencing our difficulties remember to focus on He who is the light of the world. He will comfort you, heal you, encourage you and walk with you through it all because He loves you.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. –Anonymous
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Ori (the Lord is my Light) for lighting my world with Your Divine love, assurance, comfort and strength in my darkest moments. I praise You for this blessing in the name of the light of the world Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
