He Never Thinks He

Pride comes before being destroyed and a proud spirit comes before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 The Holy Bible, The New Life Version

“Pride slays thanksgiving . . . a proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.” H. W. Beecher

Leads the Body.

 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. Romans 8:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Version

The spirit leads the body. What your spirit desires is what the body goes after.

When you are of the world, your spirit leads you to fleshly desires (which leads you to do stupid things).

Why do you think there are so many different types of addictions, all of which destroy not only the body but the mind as well.

The Christian spirit is to be harmony with Christ’s. The Holy Spirit will be the guide on how to accomplish this in our thoughts, words and deeds. When we have a vigorous love for Christ, we will have a vigorous desire to follow the Holy Spirits leading in our life.

“The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.” George Müller

Prayer: Please Holy Spirit Mauzzi (Jeremiah 16:19 The LORD My Fortress) bless me to be my fortress to keep fleshly thoughts from destroying the temple You have created for my King Jesus. Please build a impenetrable foundation of our fortress build on the Bibles morale’s and integrity in my thoughts and deeds. I humbly request this in the name of my strong  unconquerable King, Jesus Christ. 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

Going Down the Road To

And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. Matthew 6:13 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

My Beloved Father,this world is changing ever faster every day. It seems as if everywhere I turn whether it is on the computer, TV or radio alls that is on is evil and filth. Many times it raises anger in my heart at seeing society going down the road to Hell and determined to take as many as they can with them.

However, I know You are in control and have complete trust in You. Please protect my loved ones and myself from the devils evil schemes with these tools of destruction he uses so craftily.

Please send angles to protect my loved ones and myself from satans minions.

Please send the Holy Spirit to guide me them and myself away from the devils temptation and towards Your loving, safe protective arms.

Thank you that in our weak moments when we turn to You, You rescue us from temptation .

I humbly request this in Jesus Christs mighty name. Amen

May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every day Joseph a son of Jehovah

If They Did Not Repent.

 The Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai:  “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.” Jonah 1: 1-2 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Nineveh was not an unknown city to Jonah. They were arch enemies of both the Israelite’s and of Jehovah. The two countries deeply hated each other and were many times at war with each other. They treated each others captives very cruelly. I am sure some of Jonahs family and friends suffered at the Ninevite’s hands.

Now imagine Jehovah commanding a Jew who had family and friends suffer at the hands of the Nazi’s and Jehovah commanding him to go up and tell the Nazi’s if they do not repent they will be destroyed. That is what it was like for Jehovah to command Jonah to go to Nineveh and warn them of the coming destruction if they did not repent.

Okay, now let us make it more personal.

Imagine if Jehovah commanded you to go up and share Jesus with someone who has abused you or cheated you or made you suffer horribly in any other manner, and inform them if they did not repent of their ways they would be condemned to Hell for eternity.

Would you do it?

Although sometimes obeying Jehovahs commands may be like swallowing a turd sideways we, as His children are to be obedient unto Him. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Many times Jehovah will command us to do things which are repugnant to us but has eternal consequences for those He is sending us to.

No where do we see the Ninevite’s and Israelite’s becoming best buddies or and other change in the disposition between the two enemies. I believe there will be little change in the disposition between the two belligerents of today either .

Prayer: Please Jesus Melech Olam (Psalms 10:16 The LORD King Forever ) bless this humble servant of Your to always be obedient unto His masters calling no matter how unpleasant it is. I sincerely request this in Your majestic name. Amen

May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every day Joseph a son of Jehovah

Once and Forever

Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. Hebrews 7:25 The Holy Bible, The New Living Standard

We all have them.

Wars, yes they are cruel wars that inflict a lot of pain, torment and destruction in our lives. They are called addictions. Yes, there are the obvious ones like alcoholism, but there are also the ones like having constant negative thoughts.

There are the constant Worry Wort Willies that worry about everything and Negative Nellies that can always find something to complain about.

We know these addictions are wrong.

However, no matter how hard we try to stop doing them, we fall flat on our faces.

The only way to complete and total victory is to completely surrender them to Jesus. Then and only them will there be complete and total victory.

There are some wars that only the Holy Spirit can win. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Our response for this amazing gift is total joy, gratitude and dedication to our Saviour.

I believe that is why Jehovah allows imperfections in us, to teach us what a wonderful, loving, caring and generous Father He is. That creates a loving heart in us towards Him. This is the object of Jehovah, to bless us with the most Heavenly of love affairs.

PRAYER: Thank you Jehovah Gibbor Milchamah (Psalms 24:8 The LORD Mighty In Battle) for blessing me with victory over foes that are too strong for me to conquer. Thank you for smashing those cruel chains that enslaved me. I forever sing praises of gratitude unto You in the name of the Victorious King of Kings, Jesus Christ. 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

When Trouble Comes

 The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Those of us that have walked with Christ for a while know full well the difficulty in trusting in Him. There are times it seems as if there is nothing but trouble a woe in our lives. It seems as if the world is crushing down on us and we are going to explode. We cry out unto Jehovah but He is silent. This is the most difficult time to trust in Him. Even those of us that have walked the trail for a long time have at times difficulty trusting in Him during crushing crises.

That is okay though.

As long as we call out unto Him, trusting He will answer (and He always does).

For me I have experienced Jehovah delivering me from the tsunami of pain (mental, physical and spiritual) as well as being blessed with His presence during the tornadoes of life, when my life is being ripped apart by unemployment, destruction of relationships. One thing that is the same in each is His Spirit being with me through it all.

The Holy Spirit encourages, reassures and strengthens me through it all. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Elohim Machase Lanu (Psalms 62:8 GOD Our Refuge) for blessing me with Your impenetrable refuge from the fire storms of life that try to burn me to nothing through trials and temptations that come my way.                                                                                                               Thank you that You are my impenetrable refuge when the tsunamis of trouble and worry come crashing down upon me with little to no warning.                                                                            I praise You in the name of He who calmed the seas of trouble in His disciples lives Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The Good Fight

 Fight the good fight for the true faith. 1Timothy 6:12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

We are in a daily battle with a sneaky, dirty filthy strong foe. His name is satan and his goal is the complete and total destruction of every Christian he can. He is smarter that us and stronger than us.

Our three weapons that defeat him are to be constantly by our side.

The first is our Bibles. We are to ask Jehovah to speak with us through it to bless us with battle verses to defeat our foe. After all, is that not how Jesus defeated satan in the wilderness. Are we not to emulate our King? So, if He defeated the devil with the Holy Bible should we not do so as well.

The second weapon is prayer. After all, how can satan attack us if we are talking with our Heavenly Father? When he attacks we go to Him and satan runs like a scared dog.

The third is obedience. Who knows better how to defeat satan than Jehovah? So who better to listen to to defeat satan than the eternal victorious One?

Every Christian is involved in a daily battle with no holds barred. Our victory comes from team work. The Holy Spirit and the Christian united is an unbeatable force to be reckoned with. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer:Thank you Jehovah Gibbor Milchamah (Psalms 24:8) – The LORD Mighty In Battle for blessing me with the unbeatable weapons necessary to defeat my worst and most dangerous foe who is always lurking to seek the right moment to attack me. These weapons always guarantee me success. I applaud You in the name of my victorious King Jesus Christ. Amen

Stop Before A

  Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out. Proverbs 17:14 Holy Bible, New Living Translation  

Have you ever watched water gush over a dam? Imagine standing under its power. It would be extremely stupid and devastating.

In every relationship there are sore points and unresolved issues. When these sore points are brought up it is opening the flood gates of hurt and pain. Instead of bringing them up whenever you cannot get your own way the most important thing to do is pray for resolution, preferably with a Christian Councillor.

Most times the guilty party refuses to go into counseling, most times it is because of pride. One they do not want to admit they were wrong and two they do not want to take responsibility for their actions and three the injured soul does not want to let go of the hurt, they use it like a crutch and they use it to manipulate.

When the other party begins to go on this stupid wheel of destruction, it does cause deep cuts with the words that are said in the heated battle, just inform them that if they wish to continue the discussion we will do so in a Christian councilors office. If you refuse to do so it is an admission of guilt on your behalf. When you are mature enough and ready for reconciliation let me know and we will go to the Christian councilors office. Other wise this discussion is over. Then just walk away. It works wonders for me.

If you value a relationship, you must be willing to go into counseling. If it is not important enough for you to go into counseling, then this relationship is over. This prevents a lot of unnecessary trouble in our lives. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Please Jehovah El-Deah (God of knowledge) bless me with the knowledge to know when to shut up, when to pray for words of healing and reconciliation and when to seek out good Christian councilors when in a dispute. I sincerely request this in the name of He who knew when to speak and the right words to say 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
