Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. Romans 2:14-15 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There is no such thing as an atheist. It is not that they do not believe in Jesus but rather because of selfishness, they reject Him. After all, where do you think the Gods Law comes from in every culture?
Gods Law states that we are to do unto others as we want them to do unto us. Do not do unto others as we do not want them to do to us. Every culture and every country has this law.
Even if they seem to be getting away with breaking these laws ( and they do not because Jesus is a God of Justice, they will be punished. If not here on earth, most certainly in Hell for eternity. ) their conscience convicts them of it.
No one can or ever will escape Jesus’ true justice. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The next time you meet a so called atheist why not have a conversation asking them to explain this to you. Make sure you are both obeying Gods Law (it is also called Common Law) by being respectful with each other.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Deah ( God of knowledge. Romans 11:33 ) for blessing me with the knowledge of Your supreme law and the way to obey it. Please bless me with the opportunity to teach others in a way that the will respect You and obey Your Laws as well. I meekly request this in the name of my Savior whose blood made this all possible, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with peace and joy every day.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

“If any of your lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Please my Beloved Heavenly King Jesus send the Holy Spirit to remind me that I am Your free will servant in every aspect of my life.
Please bless me with a deep conviction to obey Your every command.
Please bless me with many opportunities to spend quiet time with You every day.
Please send the Holy Spirit to teach me Your live according to Your way with wisdom, grace, and steadfast duty to You.
I humbly request this in Your majestic name. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
Recently I was convicted while reading a morning devotional. The Holy Spirit convicted me that the words of my mouth did not match the meditation of my heart. Someone was terribly abusive to me and I said some very unchristian words in anger and frustration (the abuser did not care that her actions caused me great physical pain).
I promptly repented and even though she is still abusive my meditations with my Beloved are in love again.
It does not matter how much anyone is physically and or mentally abusive to me. All that matters is my loving obedient relationship with my Heavenly Beloved. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Heseh (God is love) bless me to always keep my focus on our loving relationship no matter how abusive those around me are. It is the anchor that hows me close to You in those horrible storms. I humbly request this in the name of He who calmed the violent storm on the seas for His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
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 New Living Translation
Have you ever suffered from constipation for a few days?
It feels as if hands of fire are gripping your guts, and your head is going to explode.
Think of how relieved you feel when you finally have a bowel movement. Afterwards you feel light as air and feels pretty good huh?
Now think about how you feel when you repent of your sins. Think of how those sins eat at your soul affecting not only it but your physical health as well. When you repent, that filth is excreted from your soul like a spiritual bowel movement. Should we not be grateful to the one who makes forgiveness possible just as we are relieved from physical constipation?
The Holy Spirits conviction is the best spiritual enema you will ever have for better spiritual health. It flushes the filth of sin form the spirit quite effectively.Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Go’el (The Lord is my Redeemer) – Is. 49:26, 60:16 for blessing me with conviction which brings me unto repentance which blesses me with redemption. I exalt You in the name of He whose blood made redemption possible Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.
Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment Hebrews 10: 26-27 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Here it is, in black and white.
There are those that are either gullible or down right liars when they preach that when we accept Christ as our Savior we can live how ever we desire without any consequences. That is a big lie that only leads to Hell.
The thing to notice is these are deliberate sins which indicates that we know they are wrong yet continue to enjoy participating in them. It covers a whole range of issues such as gossiping, homosexuality, stealing, getting drunk (or stoned) and many other issues.
Now we all have weaknesses that are too strong for us to handle. That is why they must be laid at the feet of Christ.
BUT, once freed from them if you willingly go back to them you are no different than from those outside of Christs family. Once Christ frees us, only a fool returns to the Hell that He freed them from. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer : Thank you Jehovah Go’el (The Lord is my Redeemer) – Is. 49:26, 60:16 for paying a very high sacrifice to free me from my filthy sins. Please send the Holy Spirit to convict me when I begin to stray because our loving relationship is the greatest treasure You have blessed me with and I do not want to destroy it by works of the flesh. In Your beautiful name I exalt You and beseech You. 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
Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided. Proverbs 16: 6 Holy Bible New Living Translation
There are two important steps in this verse.
The first part is that through our love for Jehovah we feel shame for our sin so we repent of it. Jehovah for His part then forgives us of that sin.
“The truth is, living in agreement with God will bring His conviction when we are disobedient. Conviction may feel like a negative thing, but it’s just as much a part of God as His smile. He is committed to making our lives work in Him, and He will use the strength and power of His conviction to let us know when we are outside His will. It may feel bad, but conviction is God at work in us.” — David Edwards
The second part is when we are obedient unto the Holy Spirits guidance He directs us away from places and things that would tempt us to sin. It does not mean we will be protected from evil because it is all around us and sometimes strikes us personally.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Rohi ( Jesus is our Divine Shepherd )- Psalm 23 for blessing me with Your gracious forgiveness when I mess up and honestly repent. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to guide me along the road to Heaven You have chosen for me to take and for helping me to stay upon said road. I praise You in Your wise name. 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
The Lord works out everything to its proper end— even the wicked for a day of disaster. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16: 4-5 Holy Bible New Living Translation
This is the best revenge you do not want to see.
Speaking from personal experience, yes I have desired revenge upon more than a few folks in my time.
Many times I got it on my own until the Lord convicted me that is a strong no, no for a Christian. We are to trust that Jehovah is a God of Justice and He will give vengeance in His way, in His time. Every time.
He has allowed me to witness His vengeance it has brought about the same three reactions.
One: a feeling of terror. Terror that that could be me one day because we all offend Jehovah because we are all sinners.
Repent or face the consequences. There is no plea bargaining or parole with Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Two: a feeling of overwhelming joy that the blood of my Saviour along with my repentance (unrepentant sin is forgiven sin Joseph a son of Jehovah) exonerates me from receiving what the Law says (Jehovahs court, not mans) will be my punishment.
Three: Deep heart cutting agony at seeing the wicked suffer because of receiving Divine punishment.
You cannot love and rejoice at seeing Jehovahs justice. Joseph a son of Jehovah
And, if you think it causes agony for us to witness it, imagine how it makes Jehovah feel.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hashopet (Judges 11:27) The LORD the Judge for the amazing blessing of forgiveness when I sincerely repent. Thank you that there is inescapable justice for the wicked when they refuse to repent. I extol You in Your fair name. Amen
May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ.
Confront people directly so you will not be held guilty for their sin. Leviticus 19:17 Holy Bible New Living Translation
Yes, we are to call out wickedness when we encounter it. Other wise, we will be just as guilty as the one committing the offense.
In most countries if you witness a crime and refuse to report it to the police you will be convicted of being an accomplice.
So too it is with Christ.
If you see someone living in habitual sin and do nothing to lovingly, graciously and, when needed, bluntly call them out for it, you are just as guilty as they are. Now discretion is required. You do not call out a spaced out druggie or there will be dire consequences.
We must follow the Holy Spirit’s leading. If He suggests we intervene we must do so under His tutelage.
We can only help others with the help of the Holy Spirit. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Holy Spirit Elohim Ozer Li (GOD My Helper) bless me that You will help me to convict the sinners in a manner in which it will bring them unto repentance. I humbly request this in the name of He who used wisdom and discretion in bringing those souls that were receptive to repentance unto Holy repentance Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
And who may stand in His holy place?He who has clean hands and a pure heart,Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false,Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully. Psalm 24:3-4Holy Bible Amplified Version
The mountain was the meeting place with Jehovah.
If we desire an intimaterelationship with Him, when we come to Him in prayer it is necessaryfor us to not be worshipinganything or anyone else other that Him.
We need to have integrity in our lives. It is necessary that our hands are clean. That is, that we have dealt honestly with everyone and not been deceitful.
Our hearts are to be pure. That means that we are not thinking about fleshly lust or revenge or being arrogant towards others.
To lift up our soul falsely means that we are not to gossip (which is spreading lies about others and spreading rumours, which can hurt or destroy others) and are not to give false testimony about others which will hurt them in court or in relationships.
To swear an oath in deceit means that we make promises that we have no intention of keeping. That is a form of lying. All of these things are detestable to Jehovah.
What right do you have to come to the temple of Jehovah when you are practicing the rituals of satan? Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord is Righteousness) for teaching me and helping me to be righteous enough to enter into You most Holy Tabernacle (we have our own which is a great story). I love spending time with You more than anything else in this world and look forward to spending eternity with You. Thank you for convicting me of any offences and the proper manner in which to repent of them. I praise You in the name of He whose blood opened the door to our Tabernacle Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.
