Prayer: Please Jehovah Jehovah Tsori ( Lord my Strength Psalm 19:14 ) help me.
You know my weaknesses and how to strengthen them.
Where I am wavering please send the Holy Spirits strong hand to hold me up. I do not need the worlds feeble efforts to strengthen me when I have Your supreme power with in me.
Please open my eyes to see the wonderful things You are doing in my life and through it.
When the world points its self righteous fingers at me in condemnation, my precious Jesus, show me Your pierced hands to show me Your loving forgiveness when I repent.
I desire nothing of the emptiness the world considers valuable but rather I prefer the riches of Thy precious love.
Please increase my faith every moment of every day. Always remind me to come unto You for strength and wisdom and perseverance. Your way is the way to victory.
May I always follow the path You have chosen for me to walk, no matter how difficult, no matter if I cannot see where it is leading me in the situation I am in. I know it ultimately leads to victory.
It is in the name of my victorious King Jesus Christ that I humbly present this request unto You. Amen
May you always walk hand in hand with the Holy Spirit all the way to our Heavenly home. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Please my Beloved Jehovah Gibbor Milchamah (Psalms 24:8The LORD Mighty In Battle) whenever hard times come always help me to remember that You have promised that You would never leave me nor desert me and that You are always true to Your word.Jesus has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you. ”Hebrews 13:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

For every wrongdoer hates the Light John 3:20 Holy Bible Amplified Version
I believe the reason the liberals attack Christians so vehemently is because we live the truth are walking in the light of Christ and they hate it because it exposes their wickedness which is walking in darkness. Our lives are the living Gospel and they hate us because it convicts them of their wickedness.
“The Gospel cannot be truly preached without offense and tumult.” Martin Luther
It is also the reason the wolves amongst Christs flock hate and persecute those that are walking in Christs light.
A sure sign of whether you are walking in the light is the way others behave around you. Can they not say your name without spitting, do they viciously gossip about you, do they do everything they can to make your life miserable? I find that the most true when it is family.
The wicked always oppose those who are doing what is right. They are afraid of them and cruelly mock them. Indeed, if they could they would even kill them. Joseph a son of Jehovah
So if you are being treated like dung do not have a pity party or cry out to Christ to deliver you from the abuse. Rather rejoice in it as it is a sure sign that you are walking close with the Heavenly Light.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with the strength and wisdom to with stand the vicious attacks by the wicked ones. It is indeed an honour my King to be hated for walking in righteousness just as You were. I praise You in the name of He who was crucified by the wicked because of their hatred for Him which brought about my salvation Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of [your association with] the Son of Man. Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for their fathers used to treat the prophets in the same way. Luke 6:22-23 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Since becoming a Christian do you find many in your family actually hate you?
I have, it is common. Most of them will not even talk with me anymore and cannot stand to be around me. I am not a Bible thumper and shove the Bible in their faces. Yes I will correct them when they try to get me to participate in their wickedness with Bible verses and explain to them what it means. I do not condemn them, I leave that up to the Holy Spirit. I just explain to them why I will not walk that walk with them when they are selfish, self centered, conniving, and gossiping. They walk in the world and when they see me walk in righteousness they hate me because my walk convicts them of their wickedness.
The same is said with those with whom I chummed around with. They will make spiteful remarks towards me and look for any little thing to criticize me and be judgmental towards me. They will cruelly mock ( make fun of me ) me.
As they did to Christ so too will they do unto those that belong to Christ. Joseph son of Jehovah
The thing is though that since walking in Christ there is a whole lot less stress and emptiness in my life. It is filled with Divine love, joy and peace, which is something sorely lacking in their lives. A prophet is, in its simplest form, one who speaks the Word of God to the world around them.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Machsi ( Lord my Refuge ) for blessing me with a Holy Tabernacle to take refuge in while the wicked ones are assaulting me because of my walk with You. I extol Thee in the name of He who was constantly attacked during His walk here on earth Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic]of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what it natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths. John 8:44 Holy Bible Amplified Version
The longer we live the more we will encounter the wicked snakes in the grass, they are manipulators. They will try to enslave you with tactics like: “ If you love me you will ___ ” or “If you love me you will allow me to ___________ “ or If you are my friends you will ____ “ or “ If you want more hours or a pay raise you will_______” Do not fall for their trap. Do not fall for their scams.
Personally I turn the tables on them and ask them : “ If you love me you will _____” and the you will entails them doing something for me first or respecting my opinion.
If they ask if I do not trust them my reply is that “ Trust is earned not given. What have you done to earn my trust? “
It shuts them up.
When they make exorbitant promises that I know is impossible for them to keep if I do something for them first my reply is that seeing as how they came to me first I will allow them the privilege of exhibiting to everyone their honesty and honour in fulfilling their promise first. They hate me for that but it causes a lot less grief in my life. They are the children of Satan and we are to avoid them at all possible costs.
“Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss, he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.” — Thomas Brooks
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Mephalti (The Lord my Deliverer) for blessing me with the wisdom, craftiness, meekness and humbleness to defeat the wicked enemy when they attempt to enslave me with their evil schemes. I exalt Thee in the name of He whose wisdom defeated satan in the wilderness Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
Have you ever been set up by someone ?
You know , they are angry with you with out just cause or they are jealous of you so they set you up to embarrass you or to shame you in front of a crowd weather it be at school ,at work, at a family get together or in a social setting.
They think they are so smart don’t they ?
The trap the evil ones lay for the righteous the wicked will fall into themselves. Joseph- Anthony ;Green
We who are of Christ know that the Holy Spirit dwells with in us. We must pray for wisdom ,gracefulness, meekness and humbleness.
When confronted with their evil schemes the Holy Spirit will bless us with such to shoot them down and the shame shall come pouring down upon their heads like fiery coals.
I have read articles on how to deal with narcissists and stubborn folks which have helped me enormously. It is difficult to put into action at first but with practice it hones my skills and confidence. We are filled with peace and calm, wisdom and security during the confrontation.
Now we are not to become like them and be cruel, vindictive or arrogant. Then we shame our Beloved in Heaven.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Hoshe’ah – ( The Lord Saves ) for blessing me with Your incredible providence to escape the traps the wicked ones so arrogantly prepare for me in their evil schemes which they fall into themselves . I praise You in the name that escaped the wicked Pharasee’s traps Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the Lord will be exalted and safe. Proverbs 29:25 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
Here are four very important words we all need to remember : “ What do I care. “
There are plenty of wolves ( those who like to prey upon the weak and tear them down ) both inside inside the church ( as a matter of fact , I have encountered more inside the church than outside ) and outside ( most of the ones I have met outside the church are the satanic politically correct whose idea of free speech and thought is that you are entitled to your opinion as long as it agrees with mine. If you disagree with mine your are intolerant , racist , homophobic or sexist ) .
When they attack you unfairly for standing up to for the Truth just reply : You are the intolerant one who refuses to listen to the truth. Therefore as pertaining to your “ opinion” “ What do I care. “ and just stand there and allow them to scream at you and look like fools. Either that or they will shut up and walk away.
When they try to gang up on you just ask the ring leader why they are afraid to debate with you one on one. I have used this quite successfully numerous times.
Indeed most times after the confrontation many folks come up to me and thank me for standing up for the Truth ( even if they are not Christians ).
The Lord is my light and my salvation— Whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
Then there are the ones that laugh at you because you do not follow them down the road of despair. They are in despair because they try to keep up with the Jones and the Jones keep on changing the rules. I dress as I feel comfortable and respectable.
When someone mocks me because I do not keep up with the “in crowd” I reason with them like why they “have to have “ the latest mobile phone when there is nothing wrong with the one they have now. It makes them look silly. The conversation is ended when they ask me what others think of me because I do not keep up with the crowd with “ What do I care. “
I then ask them if they are nurturing their spirit as much as they are big business’ wallet. They are informed that I care what Jesus believes in me not what the “ in crowd “ thinks of me. It is a great opportunity to open up a dialogue on the Christian walk.
I care not what my fellow man thinks of me, I care what my Heavenly King believes in me. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (God our Father) for blessing me with the assurance that it is only what You believe me to be in being Your cherished , loved child that is important not what the delusional think about me that is important in my life. I extol Thee in the name whose only concern when walking amongst us was in the belief of His Heavenly Father that mattered Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
I said, “ I will guard my ways That I may not sin with my tongue; I will muzzle my mouth While the wicked are in my presence.” Psalm 39:1 Holy Bible Amplified Version
This is great advice because the wicked love to trap you in your words and misquote you to start fights and then sit back and laugh.
I have encountered many who have a conversation with me about someone else only to take what I said and twist it around when they relay it to the person talked about. The purpose of this is to cause a fight which satisfies their perverted pleasure.
I have learned the hard way that when someone gossips about someone to me I just ask them a simple question which ends the filth right there and there : “ And what do you say about me when I am not around ? “ They have a look of shock and the conversation is abruptly ended.
Another thing I like to do is get a pen and paper and start to write down what they are saying. When they ask me what I am doing my reply is that I am documenting what they are saying so as not to misquote them if the other person comes to me about what was said. They squirm like a worm on a hot frying pan.
And finally try this one : “ It has nothing to do with me . “
I like to live by the saying : “ Be quick to listen and slow to speak. “ it keeps me out of a lot of trouble.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Mephalti (The Lord my Deliverer) for blessing me with Your Divine wisdom to keep my mouth shut around the wicked ones. In this way You have delivered me from their wicked schemes. I praise You in the name of He who refused to be trapped by Satan in the wilderness Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
But they lie in wait for theirownblood,They lurk secretly for theirownlives.Soarethe ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners.Proverbs 1:18-19 New King James Version
As I grow older the more I see the righteous hand of Jehovah in the wicked ones lives. When they are young they laugh and believe they are getting away with scamming others. They become bitter, lonely and poor financially. Many in their old age cry and beg to die to end their pain but they must live on in a daily life of living hell. In life, they lose more than they gain. Go to a seniors home and watch those who have no visitors ( now some times they are far from family and friends so they miss them), ask those who knew them in their younger age and you will find they were scammers, deceivers and manipulators who cared about nothing and no one but themselves. Now in their final years that is all they have, themselves. In life, they lose more than they gain.
As well, I have seen those whose only goal in life is to get the most toys. They will lie, cheat and steal to get what they want. At some time they realize that those toys cannot love them in return and they have wasted their lives on what is actually very frivolous. In life, they lose more than they gain.
The problem is that the heart of the greedy and Hell have this in common: they always scream”I want more, more, more, they are never satisfied.” Joseph- Anthony:Green
Prayer:Thank you Jehovah-Naheh (the Lord who Smites) for delivering true justice to the wicked ones for their evil ways. I humbly exalt You in the name of he who defeats all evil Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.
