“Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. Daniel 10:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
From the first day we set our hearts to understanding Jehovah, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and our loving relationship with them we begin a life long journey of deep knowledge in this quest. Jehovah will always bless this request with amazing revelations.
Now we must also maintain a attitude of humbleness towards them which in this case represents deep respect and awe.
As we continue on this quest we go deeper and deeper into Jehovahs Holy presence. Our bond grows stronger and stronger. We metamorphose into souls of which is confusing to the world.
Indeed whenever we reflect back on where we were to where we are now the transformation is stunning to us.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher) for blessing me with divulging Your awesomeness to me and for the amazing transformation You have accomplished in my life into being the loving child You know I am cable of being in Your Holy family. I extol Thee in the name of He whom has taught me so much Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Do not neglect to do good, to contribute [to the needy of the church as an expression of fellowship], for such sacrifices are always pleasing to God. Hebrews 13:15-16 Amplified Bible
Have you ever held the door open for someone and they do not say thank you (indeed, I have had many women become down right nasty about it) and you feel hurt by it?
Do not feel hurt by it, take comfort that Jehovah sees your act of goodness and is well pleased by it.
Do not seek to please man (or woman) for it can lead to disappointment, rather seek to please Jehovah. He always appreciates it. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Have you ever helped someone that is having difficulty on a project and when it is completed they take all the credit for it, not even acknowledging your contribution? You feel used and abused.
Do not feel angry or hurt take comfort that Jehovah sees your act of goodness and is well pleased by it.
Have you ever worked hard to make a great meal for your family and they do not even say thank you for the effort and time you put into it?
Do not feel angry or hurt take comfort that Jehovah sees your act of goodness and is well pleased by it.
The list goes on.
Learning to do things to please Jehovah and not just to be kind and considerate to others comforts and encourages me all the time because I know it is appreciated to the one I love the most. That is why I enjoy doing good for others even when it is not appreciated.
No matter how big or small the good you do here on earth, they are all great in Heaven. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love) for blessing me with an amazing loving relationship with You. Thank you for the most awesome teacher (the Holy Spirit) who has mentored me into emulating Your love unto others. Just knowing my words and actions are pleasing to You my cherished love is all the reward I need. I exalt You in the name of He who pleased You the most by shedding His precious blood for my entrance fee into Your holy family Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 Holy Bible, New King James Version
I believe that when you break down the family, you break down society. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Now that does not mean you are to remain in an abusive relationship.
“Train your child in the way in which you know you should have gone yourself.” Charles H. Spurgeon
How many times have we reflected on our past and wish we could change it?
When you are a parent you can pass these mistakes as well as your triumphs onto your children to help guide them through life.
“The tasks connected with the home are the fundamental tasks of humanity.” Theodore Roosevelt
For those of us that are old enough to remember do you remember those that in my opinion are destroyer of the family the (womens lib) spewing on how they were on a biological clock and wanted to get pregnant ? Because they relegated men to the trash can they wanted to get pregnant by artificial insemination because they said they did not need a father in the family. Look at the results. Could it be boys raised by feminists are confused as how to be a man because there were none in their family life? Could that be why so many males today are so feminine?
In many Asian countries the mother raises the children and could that by why there is so much homosexuality there and the men are so feminine there?
“There is only one way to bring up a child in the way he should go and that is to travel that way yourself.” Abraham Lincoln
We need to walk with our children through life not shove them off to babysitters like sports teams or other extra curricular activities. We need to spend time with them not just having fun but teaching them life lessons. Other wise, when they leave the nest they will be completely unprepared for the world out there.
The most important duty of every parent and grandparent is to teach them about Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. To help them become adopted members of a Holy Family.
Prayer: Oh Jehovah Abba (God our Father) please bless those who were raised fatherless to be introduced unto You so that will be blessed to know what a father is. This blessing they will in turn teach their children and may it restore Godly families to our society which so desperately needs it. I humbly request this in the name of my adored bib brother Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you …Philippians 2:12-13 King James Bible
Once we have accepted Jesus that isn’t the end of it. Going to church once a week isn’t the end of it. No, brothers and sisters salvation is not a one off encounter.
It is a weekly, a daily, an hourly and indeed a moment by moment event.
We must surrender all aspects of our lives to Christ in order to maintain our salvation. If we do not it may happen as slow as molasses or it may be as fast and powerful as an avalanche. One thing is certain though, we WILL, lose our salvation when it is not directed and controlled by Christ.
Fear and trembling is referring to awe and respect. We should be in awe of Gods love for us and respect His decisions on what is right for us. Let His thoughts direct every aspect of our lives.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Psalm 139:17, New International Version
They are not only jewels of wisdom, but daily guidance references as well.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. — Ephesians 3:20-21 the new international version
Prayer: Jehovah Yahew (God of His people) thank you for your gracious gift of salvation. Please help me to surrender every aspect to your intelligent guidance in my life. In the name of the consummate councilor Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ love bless you today and every day
I love those who love me,And those who seek me diligently will find me.Proverbs 8:17 Holy Bible, New King James Version
Think about your most loving relationship whether it is with your wife or husband, whether it is with your children, or whoever.
How much time do you spend with them?
How much time do you spend sharing a conversation with them?
How much do you enjoy doing things for them to make them happy because you love them?
Now think if you were separated from each other with no contact for tens years and met again. Think of how much you have changed so that you do not even know each other any more.
Now think about how much time you spend with Jehovah, how much time you spend in conversation with Him, how much you enjoy doing things for Him to make them happy because you love Him. Is your relationship with Him warm and loving or cold and dead? Whose fault is that?
It is not whether Jehovah is far from you but rather whether you are far from Jehovah. Joseph- Anthony: Green
The more you read your Bible the more Jehovah reveals Himself to us and the only way we can share a magnificent loving relationship with Him.
“A knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life.” Billy Graham
Prayer is enjoying an open, honest sincere talk with your best friend, most special lover and wisest teacher. Relax in His presence. Listen and obey what He says to you because He only wants what is best for the child He so deeply loves. Joseph- Anthony: Green
How much time do you spend just talking with Jehovah and listening to Him, not just whining for Him to give you things like a spoiled brat but talking with your best and most intimate friend? Reading our Bible every day and talking with our most intimate friend is the core essential to enjoying a close loving relationship with Jehovah.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (our loving Heavenly Father) for blessing me with the most amazing loving relation there could ever be. I praise You in the name of my big brother Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.Matthew 10:38-39 New King James Version
How many for eons have folks wondered the meaning of life?
They foolishly waste their time amassing material wealth.
Those with the most toys when they die are not the happiest nor the riches, they are the saddest and poorest in spirit., Joseph- Anthony: Green
Chasing after satanic religions like buddihism or new agers still leaves them with a empty feeling and purpose.
There is only one way to enlightenment and that is through the Holy Spirit. All else is satan disguised as light as he leads you down to an eternal Hell. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Some try to maintain a super fit body all of their lives, sorry but you will be in for quite the shock on your death bed when you realize it was all for naught. We all die and then go to our eternal rewards’. That is not to say we should not take proper care of our bodies, just do not worship them.
Some find it in raising a family. Oh the deep sadness when their children grow up and they are left with an empty nest and an empty heart, especially if they distance themselves from you which is all too common today. There is nothing wrong with enjoying having a Christian family but those who worship their children and grand children are raising selfish, self centered child which grow into selfish, self centered adults. The only time they call mommy or daddy or grandma or grandpa is when they want money. They do not appreciate it and give nothing in return. They never call, come to visit or help. They are waiting for them to die so they can get their inheritance and spend it foolishly. I unfortunately see all too often as seniors live a daily hell of loneliness and deep sadness in isolation. This is a shame upon the children and a disgrace.
Others worship their careers. It is all for naught. They will lose it when their career is out dated, which happens all too common today. In many instances people are replaced by robots. How about when you retire, then what are you going to do with your life if it has been centered on your career?
But when we become free willing servant to Christ our King we will find the true meaning of their lives when Jehovah blesses us with revealing it to them. It will not be easy the following path Jehovah has chosen for you but well worth it in our daily lives and in our eternal ones.
Following Christ is not easy but the rewards are Heavenly. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Rohi – Shepherd for being such a patient and wise Shepherd to this at times obstinate little , sheep. Please bless all who place their faith in You with guiding them to the lives You have purposed for them before they were even born. I exalt You and humble beseech You in the name of the greatest shepherd Jesus Christ. Amen.
May Jehovah bless you today and every day with His precious love, joy and peace.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:1-4 New International Version
This is the abundant precious gift Jehovah gives all who receive Christ as their savior and live by Gods Law.
Now what is grace?
1a: unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification b: a virtue coming from God c: a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine grace
2a:approval, favor <stayed in his good graces> barchaic:mercy, pardonc: a special favor :privilege <each in his place, by right, not grace, shall rule his heritage — Rudyard Kipling
disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency Webster’s Dictionary
Isn’t that incredible? Jehovah is always there to help us and there is nothing too big or complicated for Him to handle. He loves to shower us with His Divine kindness.
Jehovah is always there, Jehovah always cares. Joseph- Anthony: Green
And, we can have it too. It just takes accepting Jesus as our Savior.
What is peace?
Peace : a state of tranquillity or quiet: as a: freedom from civil disturbance b:a state of security or order within a community
: freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions
: harmony in personal relations
These are all provided in generous amounts when we enjoy a loving obedient relationship with Christ. He will bless us with His Divine peace in the roughest of storms and quiet us in His cherished love, comfort, strength and encouragement.
What is Devine?
relating to or coming from God or a god
very good
When we are blessed with a loving obedient relationship coming from Jehovah is it so much more than just good and there are no words to describe it.
All of these definitions are from Webster’s Dictionary
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh ( God our Provider) for the abundant magnificent treasure You unceasingly shower upon us as You reveal Your awesomeness to for us to feast upon. In the name of the Heavenly King Jesus Christ we give thanks. Amen
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ love bless you today and every day.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 New King James Version
When we accept Christ as our King He begins a process of burning off the dross in our lives that lasts until we reach our Heavenly home. Burning off the dross it the process where the Holy Spirit through life’s circumstances of trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares burns off the undesirable traits in your life to make you acceptable unto Jehovah. We all have numerous undesirable traits which we inherited from our fleshy parents. They must be burned off to make us acceptable to our Heavenly Father. To be sure they are neither fun nor enjoyable. So those who in this world are only interested in having fun and not interested in suffering need not apply. You will not last. Most times you are not even aware of the changes the Holy Spirit is weaving into the very core of your life but those around you will for sure see it. You are slowly becoming a new beautiful creation in Christ. You are a masterpiece in the making that is unique.
Jehovah does not make junk. Joseph- Anthony: Green
During this process your Devine purpose will be revealed to you. It need not be something big and important like going overseas to be a missionary in the jungle. It may be doing volunteer work in a hospital, visiting seniors in seniors homes, helping in the soup kitchen or food bank or any other numerous Devine assignment. Do not believe yours is less important in Jehovahs eyes or that you are too young or old.
There is no small act of love that is not great in Heaven. Joseph- Anthony: Green
You may have one calling or you may have many. Your calling can change over time. I have had four callings so far in my walk with Christ. The first one was preparing me for the second one. The second one was preparing me for the third and fourth one.
We all have a job to do in Jehovahs kingdom, there is no retirement nor unemployment. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Jireh (God is our Provider) for blessing me with oh so many awesome opportunities to serve You in my walk with You and the amazing way in which You have molded this hard lumpy clay into a beautiful vessel of Yours. I exalt You in the name of the Master Potter Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.
How can you find God if you are not looking for Him?
“And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. 1 Chronicles 28:9 New International Version
How can you find God if you are not looking for Him?
How can you find God?
When you read your Bible and daily devotionals like : Our Daily Bread and Acts International by Dick Innes, when you listen to sermons online like sermonsaudio.com, when you talk with other Christians and listen to Christian music like on JoyFmonline.org or Prasie1065.com God will speak to you.
When He speaks to you listen to Him, talk with Him about like He is your best friend. Then obey what He is guiding you to do. Then you will develop the most amazing love affair. You will enjoy spending time with Him
He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joys we share as we tarry there None other has ever known.C. Austin Miles
Prayer: Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my friend) please guide me how to experience the most astounding love affair there ever could be, the one with You. I humbly request this in Your beloved name Amen.
May you be blessed with Gods divine love, peace and joy.
What do you look forward to experiencing when you go home? What do you think Heaven will be like? I look forward to going home.
H=Home is Heaven. It is where we will be with our beloved family and friends and with our most beloved, Jesus, forever. There we will meet new friends and everybody will share joyous meals together. It will not matter your race, if you are tall or short, fat or skinny, boy or girl. There will be no rich or poor there. We will all be in joyful harmony together. No family fights there.
O= Overjoyed to be where we will face no more sorrow or pain. We shall be constantly over filled with joy every moment for eternity. There will be joy being with Jesus. There will be joy being with old and new friends. There will be joy in a truly fulfilling career Jesus has planned just for us.
M=Meditation, where we can truly sit at the feet of Jesus and share in His marvelous wisdom. It will be a never ending education where we will run to class in eager anticipation of drinking in the wisdom of the greatest teacher. Imagine sitting at the feet of Noah and Moses sharing incredible stories with us. There will be no tests we will be graded on because what we eagerly learn will become a part of us.
E=Employment, this where we will all be employed with a specific career that will be fulfilling and we will look forward to going to forever more. No getting laid off there. No retirement there. Everyone will have a special job suited just for you waiting for you.
Oh how I look forward to going home.
How about you?
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 New International Version
This is what I believe our home will be like. I can’t even imagine what our mansion Jesus has prepared for us looks like. Just think no mortgage or foreclosure there. No burglars or fires or storms to destroy that home. We will always be safe and secure there.
I have not even got into all the fun we will have playing with all the animals there.
Although we look forward to going to Heaven to be with Jesus when we die, we should work hard to bring as many with us as we can. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Oh sweet Jesus Pryyand (Jesus our best friend) I do ever so much look forward to that special time spent with You and the rest of Your holy family in Heaven.
I long to sit at your feet and listen to Your delicious words of wisdom.
I can’t wait to see what wonderful career You have planned for me in this fantastic kingdom to serve You.
What a privilege it will be to share a meal with all the saints of Your incredible family.
I wait in eager anticipation in the name of our great, mighty and loving king Jesus Christ. Amen.
May you be blessed with Gods divine love, peace and joy.
