I know of nothing which so stimulates my faith in my heavenly Father as to look back and reflect on His faithfulness to me in every crisis and every chilling circumstance of life.

It Is in Reflecting Back
I will never leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 The Holy Bible, The New International Version
Oh my Heavenly Love I ,with great glee, love to praise You in the good times.
In the difficult times I look forward to understanding what You are teaching me in them and thank You for them.
It is in reflecting back on Your guidance and protection during the previous crisis which calms my heart, blesses me with assurance You are there now during the present hard times. This fills my heart with bubbling over songs of love, praise, gratitude and adoration for my most precious Heavenly Love.
In the name of He who sang songs of praise to You on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus Christ I exalt You. Amen
May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ.Joseph a son of Jehovah

Thank Him For It And
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
Do you truly have confidence in our Heavenly Father?
Then when you go to Him with a problem when you are finished talking with Him about it, thank Him for it and drop it. I do not mean to never mention it again but rather do not whine about it consistently to Jehovah. That is annoying when someone does that to me, I can only imagine how annoying it is to Jehovah when untold numbers of His children do it to Him.
For me, I mention it every morning to Him more as a way for me to remember it than to remind Him of it. Many times I tend to forget the problem (unless it is persistent or is a crisis) and then one day something happens and it pops into my mind that that is Jehovah answering my prayers in unusual and unique ways. It always makes me laugh and thank Him for His wonderful humour as well as His loving Providence.
For the rest of my life I am going to trust that Jehovah is always at work in all things and give Him thanks long before my simplest prayers are answered. Nancy Parker Brummet
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace) for blessing me with peace every time I place my confidence in You, no matter how dire the situation. You are truly the most awesome Father of them all. I extol You in the name of He who placed His life in Your Divine hands with complete confidence, as I deeply desire to, all the way to the cross, Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.
It is Impossible for That.
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The [omnipotent] Lord has made both of them. Proverbs 20:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
The difference between the world and us Christians is that when the hard times come those in the world cry out unto their gods and it is impossible for them to help them.
If you worship money how much good will it do you when your health is plagued by and incurable disease?
If you worship your car how much good will that do you when you encounter personal problems?
If you worship your body how much good will that do you when you are unemployed with no money?
The list goes on.
On the other hand, we who belong unto Christ have the assurance that He always see’s us when we are enduring a crisis and He always hears us when we call out unto Him. He has unlimited resources to help us where no one or nothing else can.
“It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.” — Jeremy Taylor
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with Your Divine strength, help, comfort and assurance during the hard times that come my way. It is the only thing that gets me through them but it is also the only blessing required at those times.
I exalt Thee in the name of He who was there to strengthen His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing
Remind Me How Much I Need
When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears And rescues them from all their distress and troubles. Psalm 34:17 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
It is in our greatest time of need that we grow the closest to Christ. The problem is to grow in our relationship with Him during the good times.
We see it not only in history but also in private lives.
Is it not curios that during the depression there was the greatest amount of church attendance but during the good times there is the least attendance in churches?
If you only call upon Jehovah when you need Him and neglect Him during the good times what makes you foolishly believe He will come to your aid at all?
“There’s nothing like a good crisis to increase my energy and remind me how much I need God.” Anne Christian Buchanan
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with always being there with me through all my troubles. Thank You my love for always being there. I cherish our times spent together both in the good times and the bad. Thank you that it is in the times of trouble that You teach me so much. I praise Thee in the name of He who calmed the troubled seas for His disciples 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
He Wants to Show Himself.
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 11:1 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Another word for faith is trust.
This does not occur naturally to us, especially the older we get. In our walk with Jehovah trust will not happen the instant we become Christians and I do not believe we will ever completely trust Him until we get to Heaven. The more we trust Him, the more experiences
He will present unto us to challenge us to grow stronger in our faith in Him.
Even when we do not have faith in Him, He will show Himself to be faithful unto us.
We will feel shame because of our lack of faith but even in our failures they will be used to strengthen our faith in Him.
I know in my decades long walk with Him my faith in Him grows stronger and stronger but, sometimes a crisis occurs and even though I have faith in Him there is still some worry in my heart.
Faith is also spiritual so as long as you are looking for Jehovah in your physical life ( like always whining to Him gimme gimme gimme like He is a genie in a bottle or you only call upon Him in a catastrophe) you will never attain strong faith in Him.
“God doesn’t want us to know that He is faithful just because the Bible says so, but He wants to show Himself faithful in our lives.” Robert Ekh
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Pryyand God is my friend, for blessing me with a true friend that always guides me and stands beside me in every step of my walk with You. Please bless me with more and stronger faith in Your guidance upon the path we walk, especially when I cannot see where You are guiding me. I exalt You in the name of my best friend with whom I cherish walking with every day Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Your Comforts Delight Me.
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comforts delight me. Psalm 94:19 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
I recently heard a report about mental illness that stated one in five folks suffer from mental illness such as depression.
Why do you want to poison your mind and body with chemicals ( some like those with ADHS do require daily medication ) to treat this ailment?
Why not go to the best source for mental healing?
His name is Jehovah and He is deeply in love with you.
When you pour your heart out to Him when suffering depression , anguish, anger and confusion He will guide you.
He may guide you to Bible verses which encourage and strengthen you , He may guide you to resources like Christian therapists or guidance councillors which will help you deal with the core issues and help you make the right decisions.
As your healing begins and continues you will become more and more delighted with the results.
This will increase your love , respect and admiration for our amazing Heavenly Fathers love for you.
It sickens me to hear these liars spew forth this nonsense that if you just believe in yourself and try harder you will succeed.
That is wrong, misguided , satanic and downright evil.
Even if I believe in myself and try real hard I will not grown wings and fly like an eagle.
Follow the worlds advice and increase your suffering or follow Jehovahs advice and be eternally healed. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher) for blessing me with Your Divine word , strength, encouragement and guidance through my numerous trials and tribulations . If not for You my believed I would never have survived the ordeals. I exalt You in the name of the wisest Teacher Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
He Will Save You.
Say to those with an anxious and panic-stricken heart, “Be strong, fear not! He will save you.” Isaiah 35:4 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Anxious is described as feeling or showing uncomfortable feelings of uncertainty.
We have all experienced anxiousness in our lives.
The difference between Christians and those of the world is that they have no where to turn to to provide them with concrete assurances that those they go to for help are in control and to fill them with peace.
We as Christians have the confidence in Jehovah who controls everything.
When we are obedient unto His guidance He will sooth out fears, comfort us and guide us to the best path to take out of the dark forest of uncertainty that envelopes us in whatever the circumstance is that is causing us apprehension.
Panic is defined as the emotion experienced in the presence or threat of danger.
Again those who are of the world panic when disaster is looming or is striking them. Those of us who belong unto Christ have His assurance that He will either walk through the fire with us like He did with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
He answered, “Look! I see four men untied, walking around in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt! And the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!” Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing furnace and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, servants of the Most High God, come out [of there]! Come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire. The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king’s counselors gathered around them and saw that in regard to these men the fire had no effect on their bodies — their hair was not singed, their clothes were not scorched or damaged, even the smell of smoke was not on them Daniel 3:25-27 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Or , He will deliver us from the storm like He did His disciples.
But as they were sailing, He fell asleep. And a fierce gale of wind swept down [ as if through a wind tunnel ] on the lake, and they began to be swamped, and were in great danger. 24 They came to Jesus and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are about to die!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging, violent waves, and they ceased, and it became calm [a perfect peacefulness]. Luke 8:23-25 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Those were real events Christian and are available unto You Jehovahs cherished child when you , in faith , call out unto Him.
I know , I have been through many furnaces and raging storms with Him in our walk towards the Heavenly home He has prepared for me.
“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-‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) for always being there with me through my numerous trials and tribulations , sorrows and snares . Through all my pain and hardships . I could not have made it without Your comforting , reassuring and strengthening presence. I exalt You in the name of He who calmed the stroms of His disciples storms Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Satisfy the Heart
In peace [and with a tranquil heart] I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety and confident trust. Psalm 4:8 Holy Bible Amplified Bible
Today I see so much anger, depression and stress.
Do you wonder why?
Many say it is because we live in such a fast paced world where folks want instant gratification.
When I walk, sit down and enjoy communion with my Beloved in Gods Cathedral (nature) I experience peace and tranquility such as may be blessed in no other manner.
Many say it is because with the electronic and internet world there is no face to face conversations anymore and society does not nurture personal relationships.
No matter where I am Jehovah is always there and we share casual and deep conversations. He never puts me on hold, is too busy or bored to share communion with me. We enjoy a deep loving, respectful relationship.
Many face deep depression because they have no one to talk with and listen to them or bless them with wise advice.
Jehovah is always there, Jehovah always cares. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Jehovah is always there for me when I need Him. He patiently listens to my cries and when I am exhausted he blesses me with His gentle love ans peace. Then He blesses me with Divine wisdom to resolve all my problems.
Read your Bible about what Jesus experienced when he walked amongst us. There is not one thing you are going through that he has not experienced.
What are you waiting for Child?
Jehovah is waiting for you with open loving arms. Go to Him and He will bless you with Heavenly peace, love and joy.
“Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart?” Gerard Majella
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace) for blessing me with peace through the many storms in my life. Thank you with blessing me with Your Heavenly joy that is only nurtured through daily communion with You. Thank you for blessing me with the most awesome love affair there ever was, is and can be. I thank you for these cherished treasures through the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
It Is Normal to Christians
Some Christians believe that miracles do not occur today through Christians.
I disagree and here is why: Jesus Himself promised that we could and would do miracles when we have strong faith. I do not see where he specifically says it will end with the disciples. Indeed does the Bible not state that old men would have dreams as a sign of the end of times? Matthew 10:1, Mark 16:16-18, 2 John 14:12 The purpose of the miracles is to confirm the pastors calling. Exodus 4:3-9, 30:7:10, 12 Numbers 16:28-35 I Samuel 12:17, 18 I Kings 17:24 Mark 9:39; 16:17-18 John 3:2:6:14, 36; 11:42 Acts 2:22 2 Corinthians 12:12
I had one experience in Asia where I was witnessing to a woman. She kept on laughing and questioning what made me so sure there was a God and that he had arranged for us to meet and share a Bible study. One day she informed me she had a friend whose husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I informed her I would pray for him. After the third day the doctors examined him only to discover that there was no cancer even though he was not taking any medication. She was ecstatic when she emailed me so that is why I know it is true.
That the message is from God Exodus 4:3-9, 30; 7:10, 12 Judges 6:11-21 I Kings 17:24; 18:37-39 2 Kings 20:8-11 Matthew 11:2-5 Mark 16:2 John 5:36 Acts 2:22; 8:6
Hebrews 2:3-4
That the miracles increase faith. John 2:11, 23; 5:53:7:31; 11:45;20:30-31 Numbers 14:11 Acts 9:42
There was an Asian man who I was witnessing to that was a new believer. One day he shared with me that being middle aged he was afraid of losing his job because the company he was working for was going bankrupt and he would be unable to get another job. After three days of my praying a company called him to offer him a job where he did not have to travel (he was a salesman who was always travelling about the country),had good benefits and more wages. Considering there are millions of younger unemployed men and women in his field with the latest skills and he was nearing retirement age wouldn’t you consider that a miracle?
No matter who is the vessel God uses to bring about a miracle or healing,it is God Who is to get the glory for it.
Chronicles 7:3 Matthew _:8; 15:31 Mark 2:12 Luke 5:25-26; 7:15-16:13 13; 17:15-16; 18:43 Acts 4:21; 14:11-15 John 2:11; 11:4
This is a hard one for me. I have had people repeatedly praise me for the wonderful things that occur to them when associating with me. I always inform them to give praise to Jehovah, not to me. I feel very uncomfortable with it.
Prayer: Please Jehovah Jireh (God our provider) bless me to be alert to those with whom You have given signs and wonders to to point us to You. Please bless me to humbly and wisely use these awesome tools You have given me the responsibility to use to point others to You. I sincerely ask this in the name of He who used them in a wise manner Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
