The ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world Revelation 12:9 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
“Satan never sells his poisons naked — he always gilds them before he vends them.” — Charles H. Spurgeon
This is how addiction begins.
Satan is a great fisherman. He makes deadly lures look like delightful delicacies. Sure it feels good to begins with but once he has you hooked you can squirm all you like but you are his. That is addiction
There is only one way to escape his deadly lure. His name is Jesus.
When you repent of your sins and depend upon the power of Christ, Jesus will smash those chains and set you free.
So if the Son makes you free, you will be free for sure. John 8:36 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version
That was the only way I was freed from alcoholism. I was and alcoholic for over forty years. I tried diet, counselling, meditation all to no avail. When I finally surrendered it to Christ the chains were instantly smashed and I have been free of them for ten years now. It was the same experience with smoking.
Prayer:Thank you Jehovah Moshiekh (Isaiah 49:26&60:16) The LORD my Savior for blessing me with smashing the chains of addiction which satan tricked me into enslaving me. Thank you for Your salvation which lead me away from satans wiles and into Your Holy loving sphere that leads me ever closer to You. I exalt You in the name of He who defeated satan on resurrection day Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with peace and joy every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah
People loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. John 3:19-20 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
When I first became a Christian it confused me why certain folks hated me with a passion even though I did nothing to offend them.
After reading this first the Lord blessed me with understanding.
They hate all Christians because we who walk in the Light convict those that enjoy walking in the darkness. They know what they are doing is wrong ( the Holy Spirit convicts them ) yet steadfastly refuse to repent of their wicked ways. They laugh and say that either there is no God or He does not care.
When they encounter us true Christians their conscience is pricked and they do not like it.
Then in their evil perverted minds they conceive every torment they can upon us and laugh at our discomfort. They foolishly believe they are getting away with it.
Time and again it clearly states that Jehovah is a God of justice and He will deliver terrifying justice on His time and in His way.
From my experience those whom the wicked tormented will be witnesses to it. I certainly did not enjoy it, indeed , many times I wanted to cry watching them suffer, but accept that Jehovah cannot allow the wicked to go unpunished.
Those who walk in Christ will be avenged in Gods time in Gods way. Joseph- Anthony: Green
We do not gloat over it but allow it to digest into our heart and mind so that we can share this testimony with other tormentors in the hopes that they will repent.
As well, it is encouraging to those who are being wickedly persecuted. The Lord is on my side, He is among those who help me;
Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me. Psalm 118:6-7 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
Prayer: Thank You Jehovah-Hashopet (The Lord is the supreme Judge) for condemning the wicked ones and delivering true justice to the wicked ones that inflict pain and suffering upon the innocent ones. I praise You in the name of the Supreme Judge Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness ? 2 Corinthians 6:14Holy Bible, Amplified Version
Can a wolf live together with a deer ?
Of course not.
Why not ?
Because the first chance given the wolf will attack and devour the deer.
Can the antelope live together with the lion ? Of course not.
Why not ?
Because the first chance given the lion will attack and devour the antelope.
Can those who walk in the light of Christ be friends of those who walk in the darkness of Satan ?
Of course not.
Why not ?
Because everything they love we Christians hate and everything we Christians hate everything they love. It is even more important not to be unevenly yoked with unbelievers in marriage. That is a recipe for certain disaster and heart ache.
That does not mean we cannot work with them and be respectful towards them but we are to avoid friendships with them as their destructive manner and disposition will slowly destroy our divine manner and disposition. It will start out slowly without you even noticing it like a small patch of rust on a vehicle. But, just as the rust will slowly destroy the vehicle if not eradicated immediately so too will the uncircumcised of heart destroy our heart towards Christ slowly but surely un-noticed until it is too late for the foolish ones that play with the devils fire.
Do not be deceived:Bad company corrupts good morals.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 Holy Bible , Amplified Version
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Pryyand ( God is my friend ) for blessing me with Your Divine Heavenly and Your guidance towards those who are walking in the light. Thank you for Your Divine providence in warning me of the destructive wolfs out there that only seek to use and abuse others for their own wicked ends and to drive us away from You. I exalt You in the name of my bestest friend Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:34-36 New King James Version
Satan always deceives you into thinking sin is fun. Then you become addicted to it and it becomes a living hell leading you into a permanent hell. Joseph- Anthony: Green
When I was a boy the neighbours and certain family member used to think it was fun to get me drunk. As I grew I became addicted to alcohol.
At one point I decided to quit all to no avail. I tried therapy, hypnosis, herbal medicine, proper diet. I tried it all.
Finally one night with my head hanging over a bucket puking my eyeballs out in a drunken stupor I called out to Jesus:” My Lord, save me from this living Hell, it is too strong for me to conquer on my own. I need you to rescue me.” At that moment I became sober and have no touched a drop since.
Many times I hear recovered alcoholics say they did it on their own but am reminded of what a drunk once told me:” Be careful; we are all one step from the gutter.” I hear how they fall off the wagon and their lives are totally destroyed.
We all have our addictions which we cannot conquer on our own. I believe it is a gift from Jehovah to make us realize how much we need Him. It is only when we surrender to Him that He truly sets us free and smashes the chains of addiction that are dragging us into a living Hell.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Yeshua (God my rescuer) for smashing the chains that were dragging me into Hell and blessing me with an amazing love relationship with You that leads to Heaven. I praise You in the name of He who has freed so many captive Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 New King James Version
There is no exclusion clause in this statement.
This may include family. This may include teachers or co-workers.
If there is someone who enjoys walking with the devil you are best to keep your distance from them less they take you to hell with them. Joseph- Anthony: Green .
This means excluding them in your life.
So if you have a brother or sister that loves to watch porno you do not go over to their house for supper and then watch pornos. It will corrupt you.
If there is a relative that is self centered and rude no matter how cool you think they are have no contact with, them will drag you into hell with them.
This is especially important for parents to instill with their children.
Do not be cow towed by political correctness.
If there is a homosexual for a scoutmaster I would not allow my children near them (I do not condemn them for their lifestyle, that is up to Jesus not me but I will protect my children from a corrupt lifestyle). I may lose some readers on this but it is the truth.
If there is a cool fellow at school or work that loves to go to the bars for one night stands and invites you politely refuse.
If there is a popular girl at school or work that loves to put others down, keep your distance.
Prayer: Please Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my best friend) guide me to fellowship with Godly children and warn me of wicked ones so that I will grow in our divine loving relationship. In Your loving name I do pray. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
[Jesus said,] “For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24 New Living Testament
Saying a prayer to a dead saint ain’t gonna do it. Reciting some cathisism like a parrot ain’t gonna do it. Doing volunteer work ain’t gonna do it.
If you truly desire to worship Jehovah it must be done from your heart (spirit).
If you have or had children and they kept on saying the same prayer like a recording every time they talked with you, would you not think there was something mentally wrong with them?
Would you accept that for love?
If you are married would you like it if your wife or husband only talked with you through a mediator?
Then how do you think Jehovah feels when you go to a priest?
You think Jehovah is a dumbo?
Then why do you think you can con Him or deceive Him? You know: God if you do this for me, I promise I will do that for you. When Jehovah upholds His end of the deal you get amnesia.
If someone did that to you, you would not be too happy would you?
Then when you speak with our Beloved speak from the heart and speak the truth. Anything else is an insult.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my friend) for the most treasured blessing of all, the blessing of always being able to come to You and be able to always speak the truth from my heart. I magnamously praise You in Your loving name. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
