At all times through Him, therefore, let us at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. Hebrews 13:15 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
That can be a difficult one can’t it?
You are going through a divorce or death of a loved one. How can you give thanks in that circumstance?
Give thanks that through Jesus He will guide you, heal you, comfort you, encourage you and strengthen you. The world does not have this blessing.
The same can be said in every situation in life.
I thank my Beloved best Friend Jesus Christ for walking with me through my many trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares. I never would have made it without Him.
Whenever theses events are shared with another they are glorifying His awesome name.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) for blessing me with walking with me through the firestorms in my life encouraging me, strengthening me, comforting me and healing me. I extol Thee in the name of He who calmed the raging storms for His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God]. 1 Timothy 6:6 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Living a simple Godly life is the key to contentment. Joseph son of Jehovah
My life is very simple and there is great contentment.
I find the greatest delight in the simple beauty that Jehovah surrounds us with each and every day like listening to Jehovahs symphony of wild birds or the wind dancing through the leaves. I love to watch Jehovahs ballet of snowflakes gently swirling and twirling to the ground like tiny ballerinas. I love to drink in the sweetest fragrance there is, wildflowers in the early morning. What a wonderful blessing exceedingly blesses us with daily.
It is too bad most people are in too much of a rush serving their dead gods ( going to work to pay for the things you have gone in debt for which cannot love you back and which you soon become bored with).
“I am content; that is a blessing greater than riches; and he whom that is given need ask no more.” -Henry Fielding
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bara (The Lord Creator) for blessing me with the amazing treasures You reveal to me in Your stunning creation. Thank you that at those times we walk together and talk together in wonderful loving communion. I praise You in the name of He with whom I cherish looking forward to walking through Heaven with 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.
Let us approach [God] with a true and sincere heart in unqualified assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience ( bad). Hebrews 10:22 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
The older we get the more of the dark chapters there are in our lives. This is a time when we intentionally walked away from Jehovah and satisfied the flesh. Many times we have said or did things we are ashamed of later.
Not me.
I use that as a testimony of how magnanimous Jehovahs loves is for us when we repent.
Nothing can erase the dark chapters in our life like the Light. Joseph- Anthony: Green
As well it is an opportunity to share just how fabulous of a cleaner Christ is, because it is by Jesus’ blood that I am cleaned of that filth.
There are the wicked ones that take delight in causing others to suffer. These filth will through our dark chapters in our face to shame us and try to manipulate us. When ever those feeble mined fools fools fools attempt this with me, I just smile and inform them loudly how over joyed that Christ has washed that from me and if they humble themselves instead of being a self righteous twit He will forgive them of their filth as well. The look of shock is hilarious and it instantly shuts them up.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus M’Kaddesh (The Lord is my Sanctifier) for shedding Your precious blood to wash away my filth and make me pure in our Beloveds eyes. I love to share our story with others to bring them unto You. I exalt You in Your brilliant shining name. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
“For God pays a man according to his work, And He will make every man find [appropriate] compensation according to his way. Job 34:11 Holy Bible Amplified Version
According to His Work.
I do not know about you but that gives me a feeling of joy , peace, and assurance. Now in my later years and slowing down it is good to know Jehovah will reward me for my faithful service. There is no expectation of living in a mansion with babes waiting on my every whim. There is no expectation of living like a strong twenty something. There is no expectation of living surrounded by luxury gained at some mall. There is expectation of living a life dedicated unto Jehovah and sharing fond memories with Him. A life filled with peace, love and joy.
On the other hand I see so many wicked ones whose body has been destroyed living the sex, drugs and rock and roll nonsense. They lived for the good times and for themselves. Now the good times are over. They are a shell of a living being. I see those who worked very hard to attain wealth and took great delight in cheating others to enlarge their treasure only to see their treasure mean nothing to them because it cannot love them back.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful) for Your faithful promise to reward me for all my freely given service unto You. May You move the wicked ones unto turning from their dark deed unto Your righteous deeds so they will not suffer Your terrible wrath. I reverently request this in the name of He who will be handing out the drowns in Heaven Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
And you shall know [with an understanding based on personal experience] that I am the Lord; For they shall not be put to shame who wait and hope expectantly for Me. Isaiah 49:23 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Have you ever experienced confirmation from Jehovah from a Bible Verse or from Christians councilors of a certain event that is going to occur in your life?
I have.
Everybody laughed at me and informed me it was certain failure to attempt to follow Christs lead. In all honesty when this first began I doubted myself the outcome. In due course of time Christ did indeed accomplish in me and through me His Divine purpose in my life and through my life.
Now when my Beloved informs me of an impossible occurrence that will happen in my life I have confidence in His providential completion of it. The wonderful thing though, is that He never does it in a predictable manner. I believe this is so no one can claim it is just a coincidence. I always laugh and say: “ You are truly an awesome God and Your ways are so much higher than mine my Love.” with reverential love and joy.
I believe Jehovah does the impossible in strange ways to remind us of just how awesome He truly is. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. Hebrews 11:1Holy Bible Amplified Version
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Rohi ( Jesus is our Divine Shepherd ) for the amazing manner in which You have led and helped this sheep of Yours to accomplish incredible things for the glory of Your kingdom and the enlargement of it through those You have blessed me with guiding them unto You. I glorify You in You magnificent name. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Then I said to them, “You see the bad situation that we are in—how Jerusalem is desolate and lies in ruins and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, and let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, so that we will no longer be a disgrace.” Nehemiah 2:17 Holy Bible Amplified Version
It is we not me.
Those that stand alone fall, those that stand together will with stand the strongest storms. Joseph- Anthony: Green
This is an important ingredient on your road to recovery. We all have destructive addictions. We cannot resolve them on our own, we need help. Therefore, it is we as in Jehovah and you not me that will provide the resolution.
How many of us make silly New Years Resolutions to quit these habits only to crash and burn when they try to accomplish it on their own?
How many succeed when they have councilors and trainers helping them?
The way to determine who is the best trainer and or councilor for you is to take it to Jehovah in prayer and be obedient unto His wise guidance. After all, who know you better the creator or the creation?
We will always fail in our attempts to live a Holy life because we are all imperfect.
Satan will use this opportunity to tear you down in an attempt to make you feel unworthy of being a member of Jehovah’s Holy family.
All is not lost.
Christ will never desert you. He will provide a way of restitution unto Him.
That , again , is why we need to surround ourselves with Godly councilors when we fall. They will not only help us deal with the reason for the fall but also help us to stand upon the Holy rock of Christ.
The wise will hear and increase their learning, And the person of understanding will acquire wise counsel and the skill [to steer his course wisely and lead others to the truth]. Proverbs 1:5 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Jireh (God is our Provider) for blessing me with wise councilors and trainers for my daily walk with You. They lead me away from catastrophes and towards Heavenly success towards my loving relationship with You and the Divine service unto You that You have chosen for me to take in my life dedicated unto You. I exalt You for this treasure in the name of the greatest provider Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Cast your burden on the Lord [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you. Psalm 55:22 Holy Bible Amplified Version
We all encounter problems in our lives.
Too many of us falsely believe that we are weak if we cannot solve these challenges on our own ( especially men ).
Indeed in many countries it is considered a shame and disgrace to even admit you have a problem.
It is too heavy for you to carry on your own shoulders. That is where we Christians are blessed with an advantage over those of the world.
How many folks go to a psychiatrist with their problems only to be prescribed drugs , which of course only makes the problem worse. Look at all those who commit hienious offenses like mass murderers only to find out they were diagnosed with mental problems and were only given drugs. I have seen it numerous times in big cites.
How many go to psychiatrists only to be told it is not your fault but societies or your families while being absolved of their responsibility?
To sustain means to give support as does uphold.
The best councilor to go to is of course Jehovah. He is all wise and will help you the best and support you though the difficult experience. That will probably mean He will guide you to Christian councilors.
I have been blessed with this guidance and it was the most beneficial to me.
When you encounter problems in your life and we all will continually experience these plagues until Christ takes us to our Heavenly home ,you have a choice ; one try to deal with it on your own , good luck with that one two go to those in the world with limited knowledge , which usually is useless from those I have seen go that route or go to the best source form wisdom ,strength and healing Jehovah God Almighty. That is the most successful route I have taken as well as many others I have encountered.
Jehovah or the world choose wisely. Your life depends upon it. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you YAHWEH- Ropheka :“The Lord Who Healsfor blessing me with Your gently loving healing whenever I encounter any and all problems in my life whether it be through Your Divine will or whether it be through Your Divine providence to Christian guidance councilors and others that will assist me. I extol Thee in the name of the best Healer of them all Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] John 14 27 Holy Bible Amplified Version
It amazes me when I reflect back on my times of trouble and see the Holy Spirits awesome hand silently at work through it even though it did not feel as if He even cared much less was there . We have been through financial drought , fire of sickness, anguish of losing a loved one so very close to my heart , the strength for battle when the forces against me out numbered me and out powered me .
In every circumstance Jesus is there even though many times it does not feel like it. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Oh cherished beloved child of Jehovah take hold of this promise and clasp it close to your precious heart , especially when it feels as if He is not there , during the raging storms and tempestuous fire storms that rage in your difficulties.
Do you truly believe that Christ would suffer that beating and the agony of hanging on the cross for six long tortuous hours while His precious blood ran down His Divine body because His love for you yet desert you in you time of need ?
Nay, say I , how foolish would that be ?
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Uzam ( The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with Your Divine strength and provision in my numerous time of trials and tribulations , sorrow and snares. I praise You in the name of He who calmed the storms for His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith and confidence [in Me] ?” Mark 4: 40 Holy Bible Amplified Version
I believe that even the strongest Christian will still have doubts in a crisis. That is okay because we after all weak.
However, as we progress in our walk with Christ and experience His awesome guidance, protection and provision our faith and confidence will grow.
As well, when we experience doubt and fear in unknown crisis’ we know we can go to Jesus with our fears and doubts and He will not be angry with us.
For me personally I find He guides me to bible verses which comforts and reassures me.
It is not a one off experience but one which will be repeated until we are taken to our Heavenly home.
“Knowing that I am not the one in control gives great encouragement. Knowing the One who is in control is everything.” — Alexander Michael
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace) for blessing me with Your Divine peace during the numerous storms in my life and in the process strengthening my weak faith in Your amazing ultimate powers. I humbly praise You inn the name of the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ . Amen .
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
