Have You Noticed How Much

 Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of [your association with] the Son of Man. Luke 6:22 Holy Bible, Amplified Version

Have you noticed how much hate there is in the western world today for those that live Christian lives with Christian morals? We are vilified on social media and socially isolated in every day life. It is like we have some disgusting plague like leprosy. What is truly heartbreaking is when this happens with in the Christian community.

Why do folks hate us so much?

Could it be that seeing us pricks their conscience and they know their lifestyle is wrong?

Could it be that seeing us causes the fire of hate to flame in every molecule of their body and mind because they know that their lifestyle is condemning them to Hell?

From my experience yes, those are the two main reasons for their unjustified hate of those of us that are obedient children of Jehovah.

The further society gets from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it. George Orwell.

Prayer: Please Jehovah Emet (God of truth) bless me to always speak Your words of truth with wisdom, grace, meekness and fortitude to not back down when challenged by the wicked ones. I sincerely request this in the name of He who is the epitome of truth 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.

James Was Right.

                                

For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him. Colossians 1:16 Holy Bible Amplified Version

I remember reading about King James and during his trial He said that He was ordained by God to be the king. James was right. Oliver Cromwell was wrong. Some misinterpret what he said as to falsely believe he was claiming to be a god. Now that does not excuse his actions but it is Jehovah that will judge him not us.

By the same standards we are to trust Jehovah to put in place righteous leaders in our countries. We are to have faith (which means trust) that any of their wicked action will not come to fruition or that Jehovah will help us protect ourselves from them. As well they shall be judged by their actions.

So, instead of taking to the streets and screaming like lunatics why not try something much more productive: get on your knees every morning and pray for your leaders instead of having a hissy fit because they do not bow to your demands that they do what you want.

The same is true of any Christian leader in the church. We are to constantly pray for the Holy Spirit to guide their actions and that we will have the wisdom, fortitude and grace to correct them when they go astray.

Prayer is the most effective weapon in the Christian arsenal. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Please Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) bless all authorities both in government and in churches that You speak with them and guide their actions. I humbly request this in the name of Your most obedient Son and my cherished Heavenly King Jesus Christ. Amen

May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.

Do Not Become a Polluted Well.

A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well. Proverbs 25: 26 New King James Version

Have you ever been put on the spot to risk losing it all because you have to take a stand.

The consequences are very high.

If you have and you gave in you became a murky spring. A murky spring cannot be drank from. You will find others cannot drink from your wisdom or be helped by your compassion. The reason for this is that when you compromised your morals that grieved the Holy Spirit and He will depart from you until you repent.

A polluted well cannot be drank from either. |If you continue your ways your thinking will become polluted and you will lead many astray.

The longer this continues the worse your condition becomes until you have completely become estranged form Jehovah.

Prayer: Please Jehovah Yeshua (God our rescuer) I sincerely request that you bless me with the fortitude to never surrender, no matter how high the cost, the morals my mentor (the Holy Spirit) has instilled in me. I meekly request this in the name of He who never compromised His high morals Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
