But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Prayer: Please Jehovah Ganan (The Lord is Our Defense Psalms 89:18 ) protect me this day from wicked folks and unseen evil spirits as I walk the path You have chosen for me to travel this day.
I know You are a good and loving Father who protects His children.
Please guide me away from where evil lurks and send angels to protect me from the evil spirits.
Please instruct me with the proper words to say when the despicable politically correct attack me for walking in Your righteousness.
I humbly request this in the name of Lord of Your holy armies Jesus Christ. Amen
‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’ Numbers 6:22-27 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love will find life. Proverbs 21:21 New Living Translation
There was a comical saying in the seventies that said the devil made me do it, in reference to why we do bad things.
That is a lie.
The devil tempts us but it is in our own free will that knowingly, willingly commit the sin.
When temptation comes our way we should use the Christian weapons Jehovah supplies us with for victory.
Number one on the list is common sense. The number one rule is that if you are single, or married never be alone with anyone of the opposite sex (unless they are your husband or wife). You can be alone in the library or in a restaurant but never in a place where there is no one else there.
Number two is if Jesus would not be there neither should you be. So if your buddies are doing drugs or going to the bar to pick up babes (or hunks if they are women) do you think Jesus would join them for that activity?
Number three is to memorize victory verses so when the devil temps you like he did Jesus in the wilderness we, like Jesus use Bible verses to defeat our opponent. And yes that is very effective from personal experience.
Number four is to have a close relationship with Jehovah so that when the temptation is too strong for you, your first defence will be to call upon our mighty Heavenly Daddy who will come to our rescue. Again speaking from personal experience this is very effective. Using these effective Christian weapons will bring life to us that is close to our Heavenly Father and oh what a marvellous life that is.
“Only he who flings himself upward when the pull comes to drag him down, can hope to break the force of temptation. Temptation may be an invitation to hell, but much more is it an opportunity to reach heaven. At the moment of temptation, sin and righteousness are both very near the Christian; but, of the two, the latter is the nearer.” — Charles H. Brent
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Chereb (Lord the is my Sword) for blessing me with the ultimate weapon to defeat satan and his minions with that is always victorious. I exalt You in the name of the unbeatable warrior King Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Galatians 6:9 New Living Translation
Do you foolishly believe satan is going to roll over and allow you to destroy his handi- work?
If not (and we should not) then when you are serving others by serving Christ expect a fight.
It was the first century Christians that began to stop infanticide. Babies used to be thrown into the garbage dump like trash. Sound familiar with abortion today? Yes they had to fight against it, including giving up their own lives. Instead of getting into yelling contests with the baby murderers (you are taking a innocent life, that is murder) we need to have a loving conversation with those going in for an abortion. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Before you do that learn our rights under international law. Get a copy of the The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at http://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights at https://www.ohchr.org/en/professionalinterest/pages/cescr.aspx Learn them and always carry a copy with you. As well have a cam recorder with you at all times so that when the opponent films you and changes it to make you look bad you have your own copy to defend yourself with.
The same goes to defend our rights to protect our children against the perverts of the homosexual community teaching this filth in schools. We can engage in respectful conversation with the homosexual community but when they try to illegally force it on us we are to fight for our children legally. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Next use it to defend our rights to have Bible classes in schools. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Every time one of the politically correct, whether they be an individual, organization or a government figure trying to suppress your Christian rights bring these documents out and defend not just yourself but the Christian community at large.
Instead of encouraging abusive lifestyle of drugs, booze and welfare Christians should organize and help these folks become contributing members of society and they gain self respect. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Every one of these are going to be battles but our society depends upon them to prevent it from self destructing. Do not give up. Even if just one listens, that is one you have saved from eternal damnation in Hell.
Look at the Roman Empire and see what a degenerate society they were in the times of Jesus and how it slowly caused its collapse. Societies that become degenerate collapses from with in not from outside forces. Just study history to confirm it. Watch this video about Roman society being perverts and look at your society today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhP-OUt1Eos
We Christians can change our society at the grassroots. Soon the grass will choke out the weeds. Joseph a son of Jehovah
“Christians are supposed to not merely endure change, not even to profit by it, but to cause it.” — Henry Emerson Fosdick
Prayer: Please Jehovah Ganan (The Lord is Our Defense) instill in me wisdom, strength and grace to defend both my rights but also the rights of all Christians in our society to express Your truth unto those walking in darkness. I humbly beseech You in the name of the Superior Warrior King Jesus Christ. Amen.
For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse andwithout defense. Romans 1:20 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Have you ever seen anyone that has been touched by Jehovah?
I have.
I have seen drunkards become sober and never touch a drop again. Everything else they attempted to smash the chains of their addiction failed miserably, especially the politically correct that says if you just try hard enough you will succeed. Only Christs power freed them from this horrible slavery. The same can be said of other addictions as well.
I have seen those who were selfish and self centered become very loving, sharing and caring children of Jehovah. Nothing but Christs love could accomplish such a feat.
I have seen shy timid folks become roaring lions for Christ with Divine power and and confidence that astounds those that knew them previously. Nothing but Jehovahs power could accomplish such an impossible feat.
I have seen those that cursed and mocked Jehovahs word now preach it with wisdom and authority that amazes those that knew them previously. Nothing but Jehovahs wisdom could succeed in this inconceivable marvel.
“I believe in God like I believe in the sun rise. Not because I can see it, but because I can see all that it touches.” — C. S. Lewis
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Shammah ( The Lord is Present) for the numerous ways in which You have touched me in so many aspects of my life. In the way You burned off the dross and the ways in which You have molded me with expert hands. I exalt You in the name of the best potter ever Jesus Christ. Amen
May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah
But test all things carefully [so you can recognize what is good]. Hold firmly to that which is good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
In my younger days I was very naive and trusting. A sucker in waiting you might say.
As there was maturity in my Christian walk there was not a spirit of cynicism but rather one of wisdom.
One of the traits learned was of an old Jewish tradition that dictated the before any deal was made first there must be three days of prayer. Following this simple procedure has prevented a lot of grief and frustration.
As we pray Jehovah leads us to Bible verses or when reading a contract to notice things which were overlooked the first time which ensnares us. This has prevented me from entering into horrible contracts which would have brought nothing of benefit to me and considerable loss.
He leads us to be patient and look at the character of those around us which prevents us from mixing with the wrong company as He opens our eyes to their attitudes and disposition. This has prevented me from getting entangled in disastrous relationships.
“Don’t trust everything you see. Even salt looks like sugar.” Unknown
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Ori (the Lord is my Light) for blessing me with the light of Your Divine wisdom in every aspect of my life. It leads me from trouble and onto the path of righteousness. I extol Thee in the name of the wisest king of them all Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed 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
Satan the greatest conner always make poo poo look like sugar. Then when you get addicted to it he tries to convince you that you are not strong enough to resist the temptation.
He is partly right.
Sometimes when temptation comes our way Jehovah will allow to endure it to see how much we have grown ( that is not so much for Him but to show us how weak our strength can be so we do not become arrogant). Sometimes He will deliver us from it to revel to us just how great He is.
The best defence is offence and the best offensive weapon is to know Bible verses and use them to defeat the not so great a deceiver.
“The history of every temptation, and of every sin, is the same; the outward object of attraction, the inward commotion of mind, the increase and triumph of passionate desires, ending in the degradation, slavery, and ruin of the soul.”Unknown
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ganan (The Lord is Our Defense) for blessing me with Your strong impenetrable defense both in Your Divine word and with Your omnipotent presence to defeat the wily sneak satan when he craftily tempts me. I rejoice in this reassurance in the name of He who used the word to defeat the wicked one in the wilderness during His temptation Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Have you ever experienced a voice telling you not to go a certain route to school or work?
I have.
When I listened and obeyed certain disaster was avoided. When the warning was ignored I paid the price.
Have you ever heard a voice warning you about a deal or about someone you just met?
I have.
When I listened and obeyed certain disaster was avoided. When the warning was ignored I paid the price.
Now of course there will be times the devil uses this tactic to trick you.
So how are you to avoid this snare?
For me I take it to the Lord in prayer and inform His that I am calling on Him to protect me from the wicked ones wiles and if the feeling is still strong obedience is followed. If the feeling goes away I know it is the trickster.
Another tactic is to know your Bible and refer to it when the voice comes.
There truly is nothing new under the sun, including the devils tactics. Another tactic is to contemplate why I will or will not do this. Am I doing this for selfish reasons, if so it is not from Christ but from Satan.
‘I value all things only by the price they will bring in eternity ‘” John Wesley
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Kal El (voice of God) for blessing me with Your comforting, strengthening, guiding and healing wise words to encourage me and direct me upon Your most Holy path. I praise You in the name of He who followed Your path all the way to Calvary Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful. Joshua 1:8 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
It is amazing that no matter how many decades we read the Bible it always teaches us new things and reminds us of lessons taught so long ago. I love to tape meditation verses and Christian quotes and listen to them every day. Soon they are ingrained in my very core.
The fruition in this is of course being prosperous in being successful in dealings with others.
It is used to teach others in a manner in which is helpful to them, it is used to strengthen and encourage those enduring trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares.
It is also the greatest weapon used to not only defend myself when attacked by the devils minions but to totally destroy them ( Yes we are in a battle against these vile creatures and no quarter is to be given unto them. When this happens they flee from you and never bother you again and you also protect the innocent ones being attacked by them. In the west we call them liberals and the politically correct. They are a plague upon society ).
It is impossible to be Christ correct and liberal at the same time. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher) for teaching me the meaning of Your righteous Word and how to implement it in my life to be spiritually and mentally prosperous and successful in my daily walk with You. I thank you in the name of He who taught and used the word most successfully Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
“When my soul was fainting within me, I remembered the Lord, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple. Jonah 2:7 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
The older we get the more our soul faints with in, except, for those of us who belong to Christ.
You know why our soul does not grow weak?
Because we have the greatest strengthener there can ever be. His name is Jehovah.
I cannot count the number of times my finances were exhausted and I had no job because of a recession. Yes money was put away for this inevitability but it was put into investments that a naive one like me did not realize that the investment firm would charge exorbitant charges for cashing in the investment and the blood sucker government would take a huge chunk as well leaving me with a pittance to hold me over. That is what happens when you trust in corporations in my opinion, they are out to make money off of you and do not want to pay out. It took many years to walk away from these scoundrels and depend upon the best investment councilor there is. His name is Jehovah. Since listening to His wise advice and obeying His guidance there has never been a shortage of fiances ( mind you part of that is learning to live frugally and not to be a part of the foolish materialistic world).
In my younger days I used to read a lot of self help books to improve myself. Some were good and are still referenced to today ( especially because they confirm what the Bible says) but most were complete rubbish (especially the ones written by the “ new agers” ).
Self help is no where near as effective as Jehovahs help. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Today I depend upon the wisest Guidance Councilor there is.
His name is Jehovah.
Through His guidance book ( the Holy Bible), good Christian councilors and preachers He has remolded me in so many incredible ways so that there is no semblance of the old creature but only a new and much improved child of His.
The same is said in dealing with interpersonal relationships. Yes there are still times when my soul becomes weak within me but when those times come ( and they always do ) the proper course of action is taken and the soul is strengthened. The proper course of course is taking it to my loving, wise Councilor.
His name is Jehovah.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Chatsahi (The Lord is my Strength) for blessing me with Your ultimate strength in my times of weaknesses. I would have never made it without You my love. I extol Thee in the name of my strong Savior Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
When I am afraid,I will put my trust and faith in You. In God, whose word I praise;In God I have put my trust; I shall not fear. Psalms 56: 3-4 Holy Bible Amplified Version
We all encounter trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares.
I have experienced such intense tribulation it was difficult sleeping, eating and functioning in society. Nothing helped me, not words from friends or councilors, nor self help books. It was only when I got down on my knees and in deep anguish cried out to Jehovah that He blessed me with an all encompassing love which strengthened me and stilled my heart with peace. The fear slowly ebbed away like darkness with the rising sun. There was no fear just peace and assurance of Jehovahs firm but gentle hand upon my life. I trusted Him and had faith in Him. He did not let me down, He never does. He filled me with confidence and an eagerness to attack and destroy the troubles. This process has been repeated every time trial and tribulation, sorrow and snares come my way.
When trouble comes my way I get down on my knees and pray. Joseph- Anthony; Green
Christian, no matter what you are enduring now get down on your knees and pray with all your heart. Jehovah loves you, He cares about you and longs to comfort you, fill you with peace, love, strength and confidence. But, first, you must ask for His divine intervention and then be obedient unto His counsel if you are to experience assured victory.
Prayer helps us to respond to misfortune with courage, to react with confidence and to rebound with enthusiasm. –William Arthur Ward
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us) that You are always there, that You always care, that You bless me with strength, wisdom, peace, assurance and love whenever trouble great and small come crushing down upon me. I exalt The in the name of He who calmed the violent storm for His loved disciples Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
