This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version
I have encountered too many Christians that are determined to save the world.
Yeah, and then what?
Well, then they say praise Jesus when someone accepts Christ as their Saviour and then walk away.
That is like asking Jehovah to bless you with a child and when the baby is born the parents walk away.
How are they going to learn to live like Christians if you are not prepared to mentor them?
How are they going to learn to serve their King if you do not teach them?
No, that is not someone elses job, you brought them to Christ, now you are to educate them. This is a huge commitment that is going to take a long time, effort and suffering on your behalf. If you are not prepared to make that commitment then just shut up. You do more damage than any good because the newbies are left hanging out to dry and walk away from Jesus feeling angry and bitter towards both Him and His followers.
Bringing one to Jesus is only half of the equation. You must also teach them about Jesus. You must teach them to conform to His will. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us John 15:1-27 ) bless me to always be there for anybody that You bless me with the privledge of bringing them into Your Holy family as You are always there for me.
I humbly request this in the name of He who always walked with His disciples when He journeyed this earth Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be a blessing unto others as Christ has been a blessing unto you. Joseph a son of Jehovah

If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 1 John 1:8 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Believe it or not there are folks that live as if they believe they are sinless.
Whenever the do something wrong they quickly make up excuses for why A: that it not what really happened,
B: it was not their fault or
C: it is okay because everyone else is doing it.
Trying to convince them of their wrong doing is exhaustive.
I have found the best last response to these lies is :
“You may lie to me and if you repeat the lie enough, even convince yourself, but you cannot con Jesus.” Joseph a son of Jehovah
and then walk away.
It shocks even the so called “unbelievers”.
Many times we commit sins without even knowing it. That is why we need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirits guidance and quickly repent of the sin before its roots grow too deep. Then, it is a real battle to conquer them. With the help of the Holy Spirit this can be accomplished.
Pull out your sins when they first occur to prevent them from taking root unless you want a real battle on your hands. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The beautiful thing is though, that when we repent ( which means we are to admit what we did, admit it was wrong, ask for forgiveness, stop committing the sin and make restitution for the offence committed- so if we sold something from someone we are to give it back), Jehovah is quick to forgive us.
But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:9 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Please Jehovah Mekaddishkem (Exodus 31:13 The LORD that Sanctifies Me) bless me with the Holy Spirits help to convict me when I grieve You and the help me repent so as to remain a child of Your with whom You are well pleased. I sincerely request this in the name of He whose blood brought me redemption Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

My laptop like most has a battery in it. In the evening I unplug the computer. In the morning when it is turned on it is run on the battery. When the battery is getting low a warning comes on informing me there is ten minutes left, if the computer is not plugged in immediately the computer will shut off.
So too it is with Jesus.
He has given us a warning. There is no salvation except through Him and Him alone. If we accept His invitation we are guaranteed a place in Heaven for eternity.
Jesus said, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one can go to the Father except by Me. John 14:6 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version
If we reject Him we are also guaranteed an eternal place in hell.
The Bible is our warning light. We should read it and obey the word that God in His divine infinite wisdom, love and grace has given us. It leads us to Heaven.
I have no desire to go to the other destination.
Jesus leads to Heaven, all others lead to Hell. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:24 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Go’el (The Lord is my Redeemer) Is. 49:26, 60:16 for paying such a high price as Your suffering and the shedding of Your precious holy blood to redeem this adoring servant of Your. By doing so You have blessed me with adoption into Jehovahs family and being Your humble loyal servant. I laud You in Your awesome name. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah
For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Make no mistake about it Christian, we are at war. Our enemy is stronger than we are, smarter than we are and more numerous that we are.
All is lost then, you say.
No, we have complete victory in our grasp every time the enemy attacks. Our weapons are few but guaranteed to defeat the foe every time.
Number one: when the evil one or his minions come with a direct attack our Heavenly Father sends in reinforcements.
For He will command His angels in regard to you, To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. Psalm 91:11 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Who do you think will win that battle?
He and his goonies are far smarter the we but we have a weapon to defeat them every time. Do not believe you battle them and win for then defeat is certain.
It is a wise man that trusts Jehovah, it is a foolish man that depends upon himself. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you]; Bind them [securely] around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Know your Bible, eat its words, carry it with you, write down victory verses and be prepared to use them. Then satan and his goons will flee from you. Joseph- Anthony: Green
The Lord is near to all who call on Him, To all who call on Him in truth (without guile). Psalm 145:18 Amplified Bible
Satan will work on your conscience and try to convict you of pass sins.
Do not listen to him but instead listen to our Heavenly Father.
Thanks be it is by Christs blood when we repent that we are acquitted of our sins. Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Satan will try to defeat us with soul and spiritual destructive habits. Clasp solidly unto Christs power to defeat this weakling.
No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken orenticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]. 1 Corinthians 10:13 Holy Bible Amplified Bible
“We’re in spiritual combat – cosmic combat for the heart and soul of humankind.” — Chuck Colson
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Gador Milchamah ( The Lord is Mighty in Battle) for blessing me with Your Heavenly protection whenever I am being attacked by demonic forces. Thank you for providing with Your Divine word to defeat the demons when they come for battle. I praise You in the name of the King of the Heavenly armies Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation]. Ephesians 2:8-9 Holy Bible , Amplified Version.
We will never understand it. How Jehovah in His amazing love allowed His most cherished Son to be humiliated, beaten, tortured, mocked and allowed to die an agonizing death and be cast into hell for three days because of His awesome love for us.
Most of us were less than holy when He graciously came to us, indeed many of us were downright scoundrels.
Scoundrels make the best saints because they realize the magnificence of Jehovahs love. Joseph- Anthony: Green
In the world you have to earn it if you want it (except of course in “liberal” societies were the bums expect the government to do everything for them because of the “you owe me” attitude which is destroying some many societies in the world today). Yet Jehovah, in His miraculous love, came unto us with such an fabulous offer that we would be insane to refuse.
This, of course, is not just salvation but also an astounding love affair of which is impossible to match anywhere else. As we progress in this relationship he slowly burns off the dross (sometimes he expels destructive addictions and behaviour on His own and some times He walks through it with it with us) to mold us into a truly new creation. Those that formerly new us are stunned and confused about the change. Of course this process will continue until we reach our heavenly home. As a result our love, respect and admiration for Him is constantly expanding.
“I do not understand the mystery of grace; only that it meets us where we are and doesn’t leave us where it found us.”Anne Lamott
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love) for the most wonderful blessing of Your magnificent gift of grace unto a undeserving child such as I. Oh a great big thank you for your incredible transformation of a filthy little rag a bound into a beautiful child of Yours through a slow but steady hand of the Heavenly Molder. I exalt You in the name of he whose stunning gift of His cherished blood made all this possible Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]. 1 John 4:18 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
I believe that John was referring to repentant Christians in this passage.
Those who do not belong to Christ and unrepentant Christians have every right to fear Jehovahs punishment.
Hell is real, it is not pleasant and is for an eternity. There is no plea bargaining before Jehovah nor parole. Joseph- Anthony: Green
On the other hand, there is no need for a repentant Christian to worry about Jehovahs wrath. Christ has paid for our ransom and repentance is the second key.
Yes, Jesus’ blood has paid the price for our sins but if we continue in them that sacrifice is made null and void.
When we love Jehovah we desire to please Him and that means living a righteous life.
No one lives without sin. If that was possible Christ would not have made His horrifying sacrifice.
However when we sin and come before Jehovah with a sincere heart that is remorseful for what we have done and pray for the Holy Spirits power to be in us to overcome this weakness not only will our sins be forgiven but the Holy Spirit will bless us to conquer our habitual sins which are too strong for us to defeat on our own.
I know, there were many strong habitual sinful habits that I tried to conquer on my own only to crash and burn. When they were surrendered to the Holy Spirit He INSTANTLY forever destroyed them.
Now sometimes we must work in conjunction with the Holy Spirit by say getting into good Christian counseling to deal with the underlying reasons for the weakness (so sometimes someone abuses alcohol and or drugs to kill the pain of something tragic and painful earlier in our lives that they have not dealt with).
Again, I know of that of which I speak because I was blessed with Godly Christian councilors that took a year of counseling to deal with those issues. Many others it takes two or three years.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus-M’Kaddesh (The Lord is my Sanctifier) for Your cherished gift of sanctification (sanctify: topurifyorfreefromsin) through Your holy blood when we repent of our weakness (sin) and thank you through the gift of the Holy Spirits ultimate power of forever smashing the destructive addictions in my life. I am eternally grateful in Your wonderful name. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” Job 2:10 Holy Bible, New King James Version Sorry to bust the bubble of those who believe Jesus is a genie who only live to give us our hearts desires but when you are a true Christian expect to experience a lot of adversity in your walk to Heaven. “Persecution for righteousness’ sake is what every child of God must expect.” Charles Simeon That however is a blessing not a curse. You see in my life this is the pattern that has been with me since my walk to Heaven began: The closer you get to Jehovah the more satan is going to torment you and persecute you in the belief that you will be weak and the suffering too strong and give up your walk with Christ. That is partly true. We are weaker than satan but nothing or no one is stronger that Christ. So when persecution and hard times come it drives a Christian to our knees in prayer to Christ. He will abundantly supply us with the power to overcome. That in turn creates a heart that overflows with love and respect for Jesus which draws us closer to Him. The closer we get to Christ the more we are going to suffer. The more we suffer, the closer we get to Christ. Joseph- Anthony: Green When I was in Asia and informed Christians there that I was a Christian the first question they asked was:” How much have you suffered for Christ?” Returning to the west it is sad to say that the majority of so called Christians I have met are marshmallow Christians. They want the blessings of Christ but are not prepared to endure the sufferings. “The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity Leonard Ravenhill Although I do not enjoy the suffering I am eternally grateful for them because it is through them that I have been blessed with a close intimacy with Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit that could not and would not have occurred any other way. Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with Your divine strength, comfort and peace during the times of satanic attack by his wicked disciples. I praise You in the name of He who defeated satan in the empty grave Jesus Christ. Amen. May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9:26 New King James Version
Because Jehovah is perfect and we are not we cannot come into His presence.
Think of a filthy beggar.
Would you bring him into Buckingham Palace to have a meal with the queen?
If that would not happen with the queen, how much more with us and God?
It is only through the sacrifice of a perfect offering in our place that we can be washed clean enough to come to Him.
That is why Jesus had to die.
We need to accept that we are sinners and the only way to God is through Jesus’ blood, that we repent and accept Jesus as the only way to God.
When we do that the Holy Spirit will teach us how to have a loving relationship with them and then will we obedient children of God and servants of our King Christ and our teacher the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my friend) for the truly most amazing display of love there ever has been in Your suffering and death on the cross so that I am blessed with the most awesome relationship there ever was, is or could be. That being the one I am bestowed with, with our Father, our King and our Teacher. I humbly in great adoration thank you in the most deepest part of my heart. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
O You who hear prayer. Psalm 65:2 New King James Version
When you pray you are not praying to a dead idol made of wood or metal or some make believe fellow like Santa Claus or to dead souls, like the saints. That is foolishness.
Instead with reverence, love and sincerity pray to the living God whose throne is in Heaven.
He hears your cry when suffering sorrow. He blesses you with answers that give reassurance and healing.
He hears your cry when you need help. He answers with protection and resources to conquer your adversary.
He hears your cry when you are alone and feel dejected. He blesses you with filling you with His Divine love, comfort and encouragement. He hears your cry when you need guidance in your life. He blesses you with resources and guidance councilors to show you the path you must take.
He hears your cry when you are remorseful He not only forgives you but guides you in the proper manner to reconcile with the one you have done wrong. This blesses you with peace in your spirit.
He hears your cry when you need to learn something. He blesses you with wise teachers and mentors that reveal the knowledge you need. And of course it is with pure delight he hears your song of praise for His love. To Him that is the sweetest song that ever exists. Of course when we are in a loving relationship we delight in sharing with the one we love how much we love them.
He cherishes your prayer of thank you when He blesses you. That is the respectful thing to do is it not? When you help someone does it not feel good when they thank you? How much more than should we thank our Beloved Father in Heaven when He blesses us?
You do not need to make an appointment and he is never too busy. Jehovah is always there, Jehovah always cares. Joseph- Anthony: Green
When you continuously continue in a weakness (like being short tempered) He does not become exasperated with you and give up on you. When you honesty are repentant and humbly ask for forgiveness He will forgive you and thousand times a thousand.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love) for being such a loving Father to this cherished child of Yours. Thank you for Your blessings of Your Hoy love, strength, wisdom, comfort and encouragement as Your never end provisions. I praise You in the name of Your most special blessing Your Holy Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.
To him who is able to keep you from stumbling. Jude 24 New King James Version
We all have them.
We have inherited them from our parents.
Sinful disposition traits are handed down from one generation to the next. This is why it is important to trace your ancestors. Doing so helps you understand why you are the way you are.
So if say you have relatives in your family tree that were alcoholics you would know it to be very wise to abstain from drinking.
As well it is also of extreme importance to pass this knowledge onto your children to help them avoid much grief and destruction in their lives.
Now there are some bad traits that try as we may we can never conquer them.
So say you are short tempered it does not matter how hard you try to control your temper you will always be short tempered.
All is not lost however.
We are blessed with the gift of the power of the Holy Spirit when we accept Christ as our savior and surrender these weaknesses to Him in complete faith that He shall conquer them.
As well He will bless you with knowledge of what triggers your temper to go off and the necessary steps to avoid these ruinous situations. There will come occasions when you cannot escape them. Then it is time to run to the safety of the Holy Spirit. Call upon Him quickly with complete faith He shall deliver you and He will.
I speak from personal experience on both of these weaknesses.
There were inherited weaknesses that were destroying my life that I had no power over. It was only when I completely surrendered them to Christ that I was saved.
There are ruinous dispositions that require daily prayer to prevent me from disastrous situation that the Holy Spirit either prevent from occurring or guided me through them when they do occur.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Chatsahi (The Lord is my Strength) for blessing me with Your Devine strength to eternally conquer the fleshly weaknesses in my life that was spiritually destroying me and making my life a living Hell. Thank you for blessing me with wisdom and strength on how to keep them at bay. I exalt You in the name of Your strong Son my Beloved Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.
