We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.” 2 Chronicles 20:12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Oh Boy, how many times has this been my experience.
When a teenager, I thought I was going to go insane. All the relatives wanted me to do different things with my life. Being a people pleaser was impossible but it was given a hard try. All was met with failure and huge guilt on my behalf because of everyone calling me a failure.
Thankfully the Lord guided me to a city far from them and slowly taught me to please Him rather than folks.
Whenever there was a fork in the road to Heaven with no knowledge of which to take there was only one smart thing to do; get on my knees and pray. By Jehovahs blessings The Holy Spirit always guided me to the proper road to take. Slowly over the decades He guided me more and more. Through this I became more and more sensitive to His voice. He has never led me wrong.
The Holy Spirit is the answer man to all of lives problems. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer : Thank you Jehovah for sending me The Holy Spirit Kal El (voice of God) Isaiah 30:21 ) to speak with me and guide me in every aspect of my life to give glory to You and bless me with a fulfilling life. I laud You in the name of the greatest Sheppard, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with ears that are attentive to The Holy Spirits voice and feet to follow the path He guides for you to travel on your journey to Heaven Joseph a son of Jehovah

Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Why not give this a try: Say thank you to the stock boys and girls as well as the cashiers at stores. They work hard for little money and receive little gratitude for their hard work.
Give your doctor and thank you card and a home made gift in appreciation for all their hard work. Think about it, they put in long hours and listen to nothing but complaining all day long. That is depressing.
Why not shake a cops hand and thank them for their difficult job. They get crapped on for doing their job and crapped on for not intervening when they cannot.
How about adding pastors, choirs masters, teachers to the list. And you know what?
In doing so, you will find you have a much happier life and mentality.
A grateful life is a joyous life. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Oh, and do not forget to say thank you to our Heavenly Poppa when He blesses you. As well, begin and end your day with saying thank you to Him for all the blessing great and small and see how good of a nights sleep you get.
Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Please Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) enable my heart to be gracious and grateful to all those I encounter this day so as to emulate You and be an encourager. I humbly ask this in the name of the greatest encourager of all, 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 to be shared with others.
May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

All Scripture is God breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]. 2 Timothy 3:16 Holy Bible Amplified Version
A desire to know merely to know, is curiosity.
But a desire to know in order to do, is godliness.
I have met many that can quote any Bible verse for any situation. When asked if they put it into application in their lives they just give me a dumb look and walk away.
I have met a few of the wise that can quote a Bible verse for any situation and explain what it means and how the Holy Spirit helped them to put it into application in their lives. Those are the ones I will listen to and respect.
“To know God is to know that our obedience is due to Him.”C. S. Lewis
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) for blessing me with the wisdom and fortitude to obey what has been taught to me by Your wise teacher The Holy Spirit. Doing so blesses me with being a good and faithful servant. I edify You in the name of Your most obedient son 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.
So from one man, though he was [physically] as good as dead, were born as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as the sand on the seashore. Hebrews 11:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Think of it.
Imagine an article in the news stating that a couple of old geezers (and I can get away with calling them that because I am one) are going to have a child. It would confound everyone.
Now think of it in Abraham’s days when there was no artificial insemination. Not only would it seem impossible to Abraham and Sarah but imagine those in other countries and even their own family. The question on everyone’s mind would be:How can this be?”
I can imagine Jehovah rolling in the Heavens laughing. I love His sense of humour.
So many times I think He is sending me here to do this when in reality He is sending me there to do that.
So imagine you think Jehovah is sending you out for pizza in the west end of town and you end up in the north east end of town going canoeing. I end up laughing and laughing and telling Him I love His sense of humour. I can imagine Jehovah rolling in the Heavens laughing with me. Jehovah has the greatest sense of humour of all.
“Whence comes this idea that if what we are doing is fun, it can’t be God’s will? The God who made giraffes, a baby’s fingernails, a puppy’s tail, a crook necked squash, the bobwhite’s call, and a young girl’s giggle, has a sense of humour. Make no mistake about that.” — Catherine Marshall
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El SIMCHAH GIYL (God my Exceeding Joy) for blessing me with explosive joy every time You bless me with sharing Your amazing humour with me. I praise You in the name of He who showed His wonderful sense of humour to His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Holy Bible Amplified Version
The doctrines of Scripture are at once . . .the source of consolation, and the means of sanctification. It is in our worse agony that we experience the greatest consolation from our Heavenly Beloved. Sometimes He speaks to us in His loving word (the Bible) and sometimes He comes to us in spirit and comforts us personally. Either way we experience Divine comfort and encouragement.
To sanctify someone or something is to set that person or thing apart for the use intended by its designer according to the dictionary. We as Jehovahs children are set apart from the world in our thinking, living and actions. We are to be beautiful lights that glow from our Heavenly relationship with our Divine Designer, Jehovah, so that we are beacons guiding those stumbling in the dark world into the Celestial Light, Jesus Christ.
The doctrines of Scripture . . .come into the mind as knowledge, produce peace and love in the heart, spread the beauties of holiness over the character and conduct. These Holy doctrines are taught to us individually by the supreme teacher, The Holy Spirit. They are not taught as a system of religion but rather are taught as a manner in which the child of Jehovah become holy.
One of the fruitations of growing in knowledge and application of scripture in Heavenly peace and love as we emulate our best friend Jesus Christ.
The doctrines of Scripture are light; and like the rays of the sun, they sustain life at the root of the vine, and produce fruit on its branches.
Just as sunlight bring live giving vitality unto the vine so too does scripture enlarge spiritual life in the child of Jehovah. This life produces abundant harvests in the society it dwells in.
This heavenly light of truth gives . . . spiritual vitality to the soul, and holy conduct to the life. The truth will truly set us free from the lies in the world around us and fill us with vitality to share this light with others. This is first accomplished in the conduct of the saint.
The doctrines of Scripture are facts, which involve corresponding emotions and principles of action, and must, from their very nature, if believed, be operative upon the heart and the life.
Prayer: Thank you El-Deah God of knowledge for blessing me with Your abundant Divine knowledge in the proper manner in which to conduct myself according to Your wise principals.
Please bless me with the strength to consistently incorporate them into my daily life.
I gratefully thank You and humbly beseech You in the name of the wisest most obedient man to ever walk the earth 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
Am I now ]trying to win the favor andapproval of men, or of God? Or am I seeking toplease someone? If I were still trying to be popular with men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.Galatians 1:10 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
It does not matter what he says, she says or they say. What matters is what Jesus says.
For those who claim that the prophesies in the Bible were written by man they have to have a very vivid imagination. How could the prophets thousands of years before hand prophesy about Jesus’ coming?
How could they prophesy about things they could not even would exist thousands of years ahead of time (like global warming (which is what John was talking about)? \
How could Daniel even imagine the Roman Empire when they were just primitive villagers at that time?
For those who claim.no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will here is what Jehovah says to them but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from GodGiven by Divine Inspiration .2 Peter 1 : 21 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
For those who claim that the Bible was written by man upon his own inclination this verse refutes that claim. This verse destroys those who claim the Bible was written by man for his own ends. Being a Christian writer myself I speak from person experiencewhere Jehovah guides my writing. If it does not meet His approval He lets me know and guides me to write what He wants to be said. Just read all of my article to see if this is true.
All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage];so that the man of God may be complete andproficient, outfitted andthoroughly equipped for every good work.2 Timothy 3 : 16 – 17 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) for blessing me with Your Divine wisdom which You shared with ordinary men and women like me to speak through the ages to Your children. I pray I always listen, understand and submit to the prudence You speak to me using their writings to continue to grow into a obedient, loving child of Yours. I meekly request this in the name of the wisest of all 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
But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name John 1:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Do you adhere to Christ?
To adhere to means to maintain loyalty and to bind oneself to observance ( adhere to the rules)
Are you loyal unto Christ?
Do you place your allegiance unto Him above your family, career and or possessions? Yes there are rules when you are a child of Jehovah (mainly Gods Law which states we are to do unto others as we would like them to do to us and to not do to others as we do not want them to do to us). Do you do to others as you would like them to do to you? That means to be respectful and to help others when you see they need help ( That does not mean to support those who refuse to take responsibility for their actions and refuse to help themselves. We “ owe “ them nothing ). Do you not do unto others as you do not want them to do to you ( that means no bullying or gossiping, backstabbing or cheating ) ? Do you trust Christ? Do you trust Christ with your finances? When He directs you to give of your finances even though it will hurt do you obey Him? Do you trust Him in your relationships? So say you meet someone you like but He sees what they are really like and directs you to end the relationship, do you trust Him to obey?
Do you rely upon Christ?
Do you daily rely upon Christ for guidance? So say you want a job and a good one is offered to you but you feel Christ saying no, will you walk away from it? Do you rely upon Christ in your interpersonal relationships? So say someone has done you wrong, do you rely upon Christ to give you the power to forgive them? If the abuse is habitual and Christ directs you to walk away from the relationship ( even if it is family ) will you walk away from them? Do you rely upon Him to find the proper spouse for you ( instead of the on line dating service where people can be as phony as a three dollar bill ) And, if He direct you to remain single will you rely upon Him to fill the void a spouse can fill?
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ezer (The LORD our Helper) for helping me adhere to Your righteous Holy manner in my behaviour in my relationship to You. I exalt You in the name of He whose total manner emulated His complete adherence unto You Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. Philippians 1:10 New Living Translation Bible
Having all the toys does not really matter in the big picture. Indeed, they make you slaves. You have to work to make payments on what you bought. Then, if you leave the house for vacation you worry if they will be stolen while you are gone.
Having the latest mobile phone with all the gadgets does not really matter in the big picture.
The list goes on and on.
Indeed, they make you slaves. You have to give of your earnings every month for the down payment and are stuck with phone companies that , in my opinion, overcharge.
Really, why do you need these things anyway?
One word: vanity, which is selfish pride. You are self centered and saying: Look at me, look at me.
When you care only about yourself you end up with no one but yourself. Joseph son of Jehovah
In the big picture if you really desire satisfaction in your life, know the meaning of life and why you are here there is only one answer: become a slave. When we become Christians that make Jesus our king. If he is our king then we are His bondsmen and women. A bondsman is someone who freely gives his service unto another in exchange for something else. In Christ when we are His bondsmen or women our benefits are all the blessing He has promised.
Serving Christ has unlimited valuable blessings. Joseph son of Jehovah
“Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.” — William Barclay
Everyone that yields to selfishness, will find it the most enchaining tyranny on earth, it is always demanding more and gives no lasting satisfaction in return Joseph son of Jehovah
Which do you choose?
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus is my Lord King ) for blessing this humble servant with the privilege of serving You daily in my life. This blessing assures me of my purpose and meaning in life. I praise You in You glorious name. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and faithfulness. Psalm 31:5 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
This does not make sense.
These are the words spoken by every Christian. I can not count the number of times my Beloved ask me to do something that made no sense.
There were the ones He asked me to go up against were more powerful than me and had all the cards stacked in their favour. Except for the winning card of course, Jehovah had that card. Yes I was terrified but obedient. When the time came for the showdown Jehovah blessed me with courage and wisdom that brought the haughty crashing down.
The first few times that happened I was in shock and awe. The more frequent it happens the stronger my faith came in Jehovah the warrior being by my side.
There were many times when I felt my Beloved asking me to make huge changes in my life that were way out of my comfort zone. Yes, I was terrified but obedient. In the end I praise Him every day for that blessing because it made me grow in trust in Him and changed me so much for the better.
“Sometimes when we are called to obey, the fear does not subside and we are expected to move against the fear. One must choose to do it afraid.”Elisabeth Elliot
Yes there are many times Jehovah will ask you to do things that make no sense to you but make perfect sense to Him. Obey and watch and experience the amazing things that will happen in your life when you are obedient.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Kal El (voice of God) for blessing me with Your voice gently speaking to me in my daily life and for blessing me with increased trust in You when You ask me to do that which I do not understand. I extol Thee in the name of He who trusted You all the way to the cross Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’ Jeremiah 33:3 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
The best education you can get is in the University of Jehovah. Man the courses provided there are unimaginable. One of the benefits of attending this university is that the courses are never ending. Just as you complete one another one begins. Just when you naively belief there is nothing else to learn something pops up that stuns and amazes you.
Yes there are exams but you cannot study for them. Either you have learned them or you have to repeat the course. There is no failing just that you need more tutoring to digest what is being taught.
Of course we have our mentor ( The Holy Spirit ) is on twenty four hour call. He may not answer your call all the time though. That is because He does not want you to get lazy and have Him do all your thinking for you. As you progress at this university you fall deeper and deeper in love with the faculty:
The headmaster is a kindly Father called Jehovah, the Head Teacher is a patient teacher by the name of Jesus Christ and the mentor is truly awesome the manner in which He tutors to each of us individually by the name of The Holy Spirit.
The more you are at this university the more time you desire to talk with these three incredible deans ( some call it prayer).
The admission price is accepting Jesus Christ as your savior, king and best friend. That you as such, have become His bondsman or woman ( which means you freely serve them out of love ). The invitation is open to all, rich and poor, young and old of every nationality.
Why do you not come join us?
The graduation services are held in a beautiful place that will be our eternal home, it is called Heaven.
“What wings are to a bird and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul.” Corrie Ten Boom
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher) for blessing me with entry into the most amazing school there can every be with the most awesome teachers. Thank you for the free life time enrolment and for the patience with this some times dull witted student. I praise You in the name of He whose blood paid the tuition fee Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
