I thank You,Jehovah Rapha (God my healer Jeremiah 33:6 ) the Healer of all our diseases. My body is the temple of Your Spirit, so I pray for protection from that which could bring harm to me physically. Please guard me from and all stresses that steal my emotional strength and lower my immunity to fight infection. Please me of all past traumas that affect my present or future mental and physical health. Please teach me to discipline my mind and body so that I will grow stronger and increase my mental and physical stamina. When challenges arise, I am not afraid because You have blessed me with a spirit of power, of love, and a sound mind.
As the Great Physician, You know me so well. You have ordained every part of my body even before I was born. Please help me to treat my body with respect as Your beloved creation. I desire to serve You with excellence, so in my weakness, grant me strength and good health so that nothing will prevent Your plan for me live. Please protect me from all contagions and diseases that can riddle the body and bring dangerous results. Please protect me with wisdom to use well the rest You provide as I wait on You with You to spend quiet time with You every day.
My life and health are in Your secure hands, Lord, and my trust and faith are in You. In the name of the best physician Jesus Christs name I pray Amen.
‘May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’ Numbers 6:22-27 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

In For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 Holy Bible New Living Translation
This is not a one off experience but is a daily requirement in our walk with Christ.
Every day we are going to experience a time when we need the Holy Spirits power to conquer fear and speak up when we encounter something that is wrong.
Ask the Lord to guide you to resources to help you in your battle.
So for example research homosexuality and find out all the destructive behaviors that accompany it like syphilis and gonorrhea. How about how there is a lot of depression and anger that is a part of their attitude as well. Learn the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Covenant of Social, Economic and Cultural Rights and keep them with you. You have rights to speak up just like they have.
Then there is self discipline. Not just to resist temptation like pigging out on unhealthy foods but for discipline to resist losing your temper when the wicked ones are taunting you.
Yes, there is love. Love is not a feel good emotion but an action to get in there and get dirty to help someone.
So say a family member or friend is constantly borrowing money from you and not repaying it. This gives them a habit of dependence on you instead of maturing and taking financial responsibility for their own actions. Be loving and help them learn to handle their own money without using yours. If they refuse then let them suffer. That may help them as well (although with some folks they just cannot handle money, that does not give them the right to free load off of you though).
We need the daily portions of the Holy Spirits love, self discipline and power to succeed in our daily spiritual battle. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Mauzzam (Psalms 37:39 The LORD Their Strength) for blessing me with the strength to maintain self control when the devil and his wicked buddies are attacking me. Thank you for blessing me with the strength to say no to abusers and scammers. Thank you for blessing me with the strength to stand up for Your truth when those walking in darkness are spewing their toxic lies to the gullible. I praise You in the ultimate super man Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with peace and joy every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah
I do not act like the sinful people of the world. I allow the Holy Spirit to change my life. First of all, I allow Him give me a new mind. Then I know what God wants me to do. And the things I do will be good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
The Holy Spirit is like a surgeon. He is the best surgeon because He is a brain surgeon, spirit surgeon and physical surgeon.
He operates on our minds to cut out the disease of sinful thoughts like a surgeon digs out cancer with amazing precision that would make all other surgeons drool.
He slices out the darkness in our spirit to replace it with Jehovahs loving light.
Through this He changes our bodies to live a more healthy lifestyle which helps us to to transform ever more to do the things that are good and pleasing to our Heavenly Poppa.
Wow, He truly is the best surgeon.
The Holy Spirit slice and dices to create in us a Heavenly work of art. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah for blessing me with sending me the best make over artist of all, The Holy Spirit Bore (Isaiah 40:28 The LORD Creator) for moulding me into the work of art You intend me to be. I thank you in the name of He who remoulded a group of insignificant men into men who set the world on fire with Your gift of the ultimate make over 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.
Have nothing to do with foolish talk and those who want to argue. It can only lead to trouble. 2 Timothy 2:23 The Holy Bible, The New Living Version.
At some time in everyone’s life we meet those who love to argue. They will argue about anything and everything. Chances are, these same folks will never admit they are wrong.
Avoid them like the plague. Because, that is exactly what they are, a disease to the heart and mind to all they come in contact with.
Unless absolutely necessary do not even say hello to such perverts because doing so opens the door for another argument about nothing that will get you all worked up. Seeing this brings these sicko’s the greatest delight and make you look like a fool.
Not only that but when you lose control you make Jesus and all Christians look bad which, when they know you are a Christian, is their intention.
So, for Christs sake and your sanity stay away from them.
Stay away from mental and spiritual thieves. They will dance the dance of fury with you all the way to Hell. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Metsudhathi (Psalms 18:2 The LORD My High Tower ) bless me to stand guard in Your high tower for the low lifes that enjoy nothing more than to tear down others, myself included. Please bless me to never open the welcoming gates of entering into my social grace because they bring nothing with them but destruction. I sincerely request this in the name of He who only open the gates to His heart to those who were prepared to participate with Him in a loving relationship, Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation
How can praying for others heal you?
I believe that when we pray for others it heals our spirit of hatred,anger and fear ( I know it does me). In the process that causes less stress upon the mind and body. This can cause healing as the body repairs itself from the tension of the stress.
I have seen many angry, spiteful folks full of disease while also seeing many prayerful folks very healthful. especially, in their elder years.Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rapha (God my healer) that in some mysterious way when I pray out of love and concern for others it brings healing to me. I praise You in the name of the greatest Healer Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every day
Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. Hebrews 12:15 New Living Translation Bible
I have seen hatred and bitterness age many before their time. It has robbed them of the joy of life, it has robbed them of peace of mind. It has robbed them of contentment in life. It seems to me that bitterness is one of the biggest thief of all, yet so many worship it in their daily lives.
Bitterness always starts out small like a peppermint seed, yet if you allow it to take root it slowly chokes out all the vegetation around it.
I know some folks that have held grudge over small insignificant acts for over sixty years. It has spread to every aspect of their once vibrant life so bad that if they ever smiled it would crack their face. It is very pitiful to see. Many times the ones they are bitter towards are either dead or have moved away and know nothing of the hatred towards them. Many of the folks were big and strong but this vile disease has sucked the vitality out of their bodies as well as their minds and spirits. Now they are empty, pitiful, angry folks that have allowed this disease to destroy their lives. “
We cannot live with bitterness because it will first manifest itself in our spirit, then in our emotions, and finally in our bodies.” — Tom Drout
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rapha (God my healer) for generously applying Your Divine healing balm which purged the vileness of bitterness from my heart. I adore You in the name of He who was and is the greatest healer of them all, Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.
So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.John 8:36The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Some folks invest money to be free from worries when they retire. Many times their investment falls flat and they are left penniless.
Those who are blessed with a loving obedient relationship with Christ knows He will always take care of our retirement needs. We are free from that worry.
Some folks invest in property for security. Then the market collapses and their property is worth nothing compared to the amount they paid for it or their home is destroyed through natural resources.
Those who are blessed with a loving obedient relationship with Christ knows He will always make sure we have a comfortable place to live on this earth until He takes us home.
Some folks exercise and eat properly to stay healthy in their elder years. Then a disease racks their bodies and they are left crippled the rest of their years. They are left hopeless.
Those who are blessed with a loving obedient relationship with Christ knows He will always take care of our spirits which is far more important than our bodies.
There is nothing wrong with these investments in of themselves but when they are used to be independent of Jehovah they are very fragile and those who depend upon them left void of all freedom of worry and need.
“We find freedom when we find God; we lose it when we lose Him.” Paul E. Scherer
“You have made us for yourself [Lord], and our hearts are restless till they find rest in you” St. Augustine
Prayer: Oh my most Beloved Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) thank you for coming into my life and freeing me from the unmerciful bonds of fleshly slavery (lusts).And, to be free to love You and be loved by You in the divine manner which You desired from the fist man and woman to have communion with You. I praise You in the name of He whose blood made this most treasured gifts a possibility Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every day
For to me, to live is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity].If, however, it is to be life here andI am to go on living, this will meanuseful andproductive service for me; so I do not know which to choose [if I am given that choice]. But I am hard-pressed between the two. I have the desire to leave [this world] and be with Christ, for that is far, far better Philippians1:21 23The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Do not cry when a loved one is dying, they are going to a far better place. It amazes me when folks what to keep a suffering loved one alive. I think keeping suffering loved ones alive is selfish and cruel. I have watched loved ones die a slow agonizing death from diseases and let me tell you, it is no picnic for wither them or their loved ones.
Contrast that with being in communion with other saints in Christs kingdom in the second Heaven (the Bible mentions three Heavens and when those in Christ die before His return they go to the second Heaven awaiting their masters return to His Kingdom here on earth, which is one of the other Heavens).
I look forward to physical death to be in spiritual Heaven with Christ. Until that blessed event happens I shall do the work He has assigned to me with all the gusto I have. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Oh my cherished Jehovah Heseh (God is love) how my heart aches to be with the supreme love of my life for eternity. While waiting may I always preform my duties unto You with all the gusto there is in me. I pray this in the name of my best friend that I shall spend eternity together with in pure delight Jesus Christ. Amen
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.
“Indeed, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested and chosen you in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
He loves you too much to allow it to grow.
That is why Jehovah refines us in the furnace of affliction. When there are (and there always is) ungodly behavior, belief or dispositions in a Christians life.
Jehovah first bring it to His child’s attention and inform them of the way to correct this disease.
When the child stubbornly refuse to obey our Heavenly Father, then He brings afflictions to them to encourage them to reform their ways.
The longer the child refuses the Fathers disciple, the stronger the discipline becomes until it crushes the disobedience in the child. It is not pleasant but it is what is best for us in the walk to Heaven.
I have been through it and every Christian will go through it as well. Sometimes we learn quick, sometimes (like me) we learn slow so we endure a lot of afflictions until the lesson of obedience is learned in every aspect of our life.
“Labour to grow better under all your afflictions, lest your afflictions grow worse, lest God mingle them with more darkness, bitterness and terror.” — John Owen
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bara (The Lord Creator) for patiently creating this child of Yours into a obedient, loving child through many afflictions when I was a stubborn and obstinate child. I pray I never have to hurt Your precious heart by forcing You to discipline me in such a manner every again because I love You so much. I exalt You in the name of He who disciplines those He loves so dearly 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
How long are you going to waver between two opinions? If Jehovah is God, follow Him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” 1 Kings 18:21 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Christ will not accept anything but total worship, there is no half way with Him. Either dedicate your life totally to Him or do not waste your time because He only accepts all of your devotion.
There are many Baals in life that are thieves and steal worship that only belongs to Jesus in many Christians lives.
Many worship sensuality,it pollutes in movies, music and on TV. They change bed partners more than they change their underwear. What is the end of this destructive god you worship? You will not get to pick your poison, syphilis, gonorrhea or aids but you do get to accept in full the reward of following this harlot all the way to Hell.
Many worship worldly pleasures like mobile phones, fancy clothes, expensive cars, and houses they cannot afford, which means they become slaves to the bank to attain these dead gods. Go ahead fool, look at these gods and say: “I love you.” and see what their reply is.
Many sacrifice their souls on the alter of material wealth. They slave away for that extra dollar because they want to depend upon this useless god to take care of them in luxury. Where are they when you have sacrificed your mind, body and spirit to them and they are taken from you like dainty snow under the blistering heat of the noon day sun.
Many treat the scriptures like dung and worship faulty worldly knowledge over Jehovahs supreme pure Divine wisdom. They mock it, call it absurd and foolishly laugh at it. Jehovah has the last laugh as His word confuses you and you realize that those who profess to be so wise are actually nit wits.
Many worship creation (putting animals on equal ground as humans. How many foolishly call infant animals babies and treat them as a child and have more devotion towards them than they do their fellow man or woman?). Oh how they wail when they have to put their gods down because of old age or disease. When you become sick or in need of help to pay your bills where are they to help you?
How many absurdly call it mother nature instead of Jehovahs creation? Can mother nature bring you rain in season, sun in season or snow in season? Yes, I have prayed for rain and the prayer was answered in the affirmative. The weather forecast indicated that mother nature was going to bring us a hot sunny day. Whose god was more reliable?
These are all idols
Jehovah refuses to play second fiddle to any of them.
“Their hearts were devoted to their idols!” Ezekiel 20:16 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
There is only one idol in my life and to which I dedicate my life to. His name is Jesus. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Unto You and You alone do I swear my utmost alligence to Jehovah Eli (Lord my God). There is none equal to You much less supreme to You in my life. You are indeed the most cherished of all the treasures in my life. Thank you for this esteemed privilege in the name of He with whom I adore as much as I do You, Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
