Is Not at All The

“To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.”- G. K. Chesterton

Poor Imitation of Him I Am

God had an only Son, and He was a missionary and physician. A poor, poor imitation of Him I am, or wish to be. David Livingstone

Like an Octopus on Roller Skates.

“Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know [where] it’s going.” H. Jackson Brown Jr.

I Devote Myself To

Today I devote myself to prayer.

To devote yourself means to make a commitment.

Right after I wake up very morning I devote myself to prayer.

To devote myself to pray and say good morning I love you to those that are nearest to my heart: Jehovah, Jesus and The Holy Spirit.

To devote myself for thanking them for watching over me while I slept.

To devote myself to thank them for a good nights sleep.

To devote myself to ask them for guidance throughout the day.

To devote myself to thanking them throughout the day for all the abundant blessings they give me both big and small.

To devote myself to praying to them and repenting when I do wrong and guide me on how to make it right if I have offended them or others.

To devote myself to praying to them and thanking them for walking with me through out the day.

I pray with complete confidence they enjoy listening to me and indeed answering me. I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray. Psalms 17:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

So, for all of you that are curious why I am almost always happy ( even when it seems like everything is going to Hell in a hand cart ) , now you know the reason why.

Yes, there are times of sadness, pain and or fear but when I devote myself to talking it out with Jesus, He always blesses me with peace and confidence that everything is under His control. And, because He loves me, everything is going to be all right.

Why not give it a try every day for a month and see how much your life transforms for the better?

But Some Went To

Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen. But some went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. John 11: 45-46 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Even after Jesus rose the dead there were still those who witnessed it that refused to accept Him as the Messiah.

Imagine seeing someone rise out of a coffin and say lets go for a pizza after Jesus commanded them to arise. Would you still doubt that He was indeed the Christ?

Yet, here they were, running like lapdogs squealing on Jesus as if He just did something naughty.

Men and women reject Christ because they refuse to submit to Him. They are afraid of surrendering their life to Him. They fear men more than they do the Son of Man.

Men and women refuse to accept Christ because they are too busy worshipping themselves. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Then, how can we expect those with hard hearts to accept Him no matter how hard we try.

I say, if they will not listen to The Holy Spirit, they most certainly will not listen to us.

So, do not take it personally when others reject you when you try to introduce them to Jesus.

Prayer: Oh my Beloved Jesus Yasha ( Lord my Savior – Isaiah 49:26 ) it rips me heart apart when others reject you and it is so hard to walk away from them knowing there is nothing I can say or do to accept You as their Savior. I weep with You in Your Beautiful name. Amen

May you always be wise enough to accept Christ as your Savior Joseph a son of Jehovah

Is the Most Priceless Treasure.

Dear Father,

Your love is the most priceless treasure.

You have mysteriously and wonderfully created me. You have ordained all the days of my life and written them in Your book before I was even born. All your thoughts towards me are precious.

I praise You because I am Your handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, You have prepared in advance for me to do.

I come before You today to humble myself before You, submitting to Your will for my life. Because of You, Father, surely goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life.

I am devoted to living out Your will on earth, to be more concerned with storing up treasures in Heaven than on earth.

Lead me, Lord, in the way I should go. Direct my steps and fulfill Your plans for my life. Thank you for guiding upon Your path for me to follow to Your Heavenly home You have graciously prepared for me.

In Jesus name I pray. Amen

 Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today.   Joseph a son of Jehovah

Why do You?

 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will. John 9:31 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

If you desire for your prayer to be answered you must be wholly devoted unto Jehovah. You must devote your mind, body and spirit to Him.

There is no Christian with one foot in Heaven while the other foot is in Hell that can expect Jehovah to answer their prayer. Joseph a son of Jehovah

There is no wanting to fly like an angel while swimming with the pigs in the cesspool of sin. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Why do you gorge yourself on fleshly desires and expect Jehovah to bless you with more valuable spiritual blessings?

Why do you expect Jehovah to deliver you from sorrows, worry and or pain when you are dancing with the devil?

Just as you cannot be a bird and be a fish at the same time, neither can you be a child of Jehovah while befriending the devil. You cannot expect a gift from Jehovah if you are carousing with the devil.

If you sincerely want your prayers to be answered get away from the prince of darkness and begin walking with the King of Light. Joseph a son of Jehovah

PRAYER: Thank you Jehovah Elohim Tsebaoth (Psalms 59:5, Isaiah 28:22) LORD GOD of Hosts for blessing me with being a member of the holy host of saints and angels that worship You both now and for eternity. I praise You in the name of who I look forward to worship in person in our Heavenly home 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

You Want to See Some

“Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions. ” Psalm 119:18 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation

You want to see some amazing things?

When you read the Bible God can reveal some pretty amazing things He has done.

And, you know what?

When you give your life to Him and trust Him He will do incredible things for you as well. It is team work though.

First you have to believe Him and trust Him.

Second you must read His instruction manual for your life. When He reveals something to you, write it down. Later after prayer, contemplate the special secrets He has shown you. I say secrets because He will only share them with men and women who trust Him.

Third again in trust you must trust Him and obey what He has advised you to do. I say advised because God NEVER tells you to do anything. He respects your free will in your life.

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. ” Philippians 2:13 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation

Try reading the Bible every morning for a month and writing down the thoughts that come to you and take action on them. See how it affects your day to day decisions.

We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 2 Corinthians 2:12 The New International Version

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. Proverbs 9:9 New International Version

Finally, remember your manners. Say thank you to our loving gracious God for all the wonderful gifts He has given us

I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak His praises” (Psalm 34:1) The Holy Bible, Amplified Version.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah GELAH RAZ ( the God of the Revealer of Mysteries) for blessing me with Your amazing wisdom in such a manner that a simple child like I can understand it because my heart, mind and body is devoted to You. I praise You in the name of He who spoke confusing truth to those who were willingly ignorant Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today.

In Physical Form.

 So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, just as the Lord had said. Deuteronomy 34:5 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament

Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus. Luke 9:30 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament

Moses and Elijah appeared in physical form. To me this proves we will have physical bodies when we are in Heaven (which will be on earth.

The Bible says that Heaven comes down to earth where we will dwell with Jesus not that we will go up there). We will not be just sitting idly by on clouds in the sky. We will have physical bodies and we will each be assigned a specif task which will bring fulfillment and great delight to us in our God given field.  Salutation

The one thing I look forward to the most upon reaching Heavens Gate is sharing the biggest hug with He with whom I adore the most, Jesus Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bara (The Lord Creator) Isaiah 40:28 for blessing me with a physical body in which to preform physical acts of devotion unto You in our Heavenly home You have so graciously prepared for me. It is in the name of He whose arms shall be there to welcome me home, Jesus Christ, I praise You. Amen

May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today.

This Verse Says It All.

 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God Titus 2:11-12 The Holy Bible New Living Translation

This verse says it all.

There are those that foolishly believe that once they are saved by grace alone they can go out and do whatever their flesh desires and it is okay because Jesus died for their sins.

You cannot have it both ways.

Either you will be a slave to fleshly desires or you will obediently serve Christ of your own free will.

The first one is a cruel slave master which kills the spirit and slowly painfully destroys the soul.

The second one brings life to the body and brings joyous eternity to the spirit. Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy, the world curses us with anger, fear, depression, worry and unfulfillment. I choose Christ. Which one do you choose? Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) Ps10:16 for blessing me with the honour of being Your humble obedient servant. I thank You in Your majestic name. Amen

Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today.
