Always Attracts a Few That

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us—so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations (Psalm 67:1-2, New International Version).

The reason that Jehovahs blessing makes us shine is because we have the power of The Holy Spirit shine with in us. We stick out like a light house beam on a cold dark evening.

We are different from those around us, which is extremely difficult.

The reason it is difficult is because we are ostracized by those around us if. We are treated as if we had the plague. We have a bullseye on us by the narcissists as easy targets to bully and abuse. They enjoy making us suffer.

But, through it all, our mannerism always attracts a few that are open to accepting Christ.

This makes all of the hardships worth while.

Yes our Christian lifestyle makes us targets for the wicked but also magnets for those open to accepting Christ. The latter more than makes up for the first part. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Ori (the Lord is my Light Psalm 27:1) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to light the path You have chosen for me. May my light be a beacon that draws others unto You. I greatly thank you and humbly ask this in the name of the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. Amen

We Need to Sincerely Ask For

You, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high (Psalm 3:3, New International Version).

Every day we need to sincerely ask for The Holy Spirit to be a shield around us before we even get out of bed. There are plenty of wolves looking to destroy us without warning. That is why we need The Holy Spirit’s protection like a shield that will protect us from the fiery darts hurled at us ( which is false accusations and cruel insults ).

We also need The Holy Spirit to guide us in the proper manner in which to reply to these vicious attacks.

When we defend ourselves with dignity, respect and wisdom that brings glory unto Jehovah and attracts others to Him though our actions.

Instead of hanging our heads when the wicked attack us we hold our head high in dignity and respect.

We need The Holy Spirits shield every day to protect us when attacked by satans minions. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Magen (Lord my Shield Deuteronomy. 33:29 ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to be a shield to protect me from the wicked narcissists in this world that seek nothing but ill will for me. I thank you in the name of He who conquers all evil doers, Jesus Christ. Amen

Then the Lord God Of

Let Me Know Your Ways.

Let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor (Exodus 33:13, New Living Translation ).

Anyone who has lived amongst the locals while living in a foreign country knows our customs are different than the culture we are living in.

For example it was very bad for a man to talk with a woman when I was living in Mexico. For a long time I thought Mexican women were snobs because of this. It was only when one of the locals I was working with building a church laughed and explained it to me that I understood.

So too it is for us that are Christians.

We are in a different culture than the world when we are in Christ’s kingdom. We need The Holy Spirit to tutor us in the proper manner in which to conduct ourselves.

The difference between a countries different culture and Jesus’ is that we are constantly learning in Jesus’ kingdom compared to a few years to learn a different countries.

Of course the more we learn to assimilate into Jesus’ culture the more we become a part of it. This brings much joy to Jesus’ heart and draws us closer to Him which is the greatest favour we can be blessed with.

Even at the end of our earthly journey we are still just beginning to understand Jesus but boy what an adventure that is. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher 2 Timothy 3:16 ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to instruct me in the proper manner to be a child of Yours. To know the customs and culture and the correct way to conduct myself. I praise You in the name of the greatest teacher of all, Jesus Christ. Amen

Can You Think of Anyone Who

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I (Psalm 61:2, New International Version).

What what it means to call God “my Rock” is to say He is my Savior. My refresher. My restorer. My deliverer.

Can you think of anyone who matches that description?

I can. His name is Jesus.

He certainly has not only saved me from Hell with His blood on the cross but has saved me from many disasters in my life when I was obedient unto His guidance.

There has been so many times when I had given all there was to give. The well was dry. After spending some time with Him, He refreshed my spirit, mind and body to not only carry on but to excel.

There has been so many times when my mind, body and spirit were ravished and in tatters. Jesus always lovingly, gently restored me.

It was only by Christ power that so many destructive addictions were defeated as He permanently delivered me from then.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Hoshe’ah ( The Lord Saves Psalm 20:9 ) for being my rock in every aspect of my life. It is one of the greatest blessing You lovingly share with me. I extol Thee in the name of the most amazing rock, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you always have the firm, strong rock in your life every day. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Comfort and Console Me

Whose Hand are You Holding?

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (Matthew 6:13, English Standard Version).

Whose hand are you holding?

Satan takes you by the hand and tempts you with what looks inviting, exciting and fun. Of course being a deceiver what he is really doing is leading you into a destructive trap that will destroy your mental, physical and spiritual health. Then, being the sadist he is, he laughs at your suffering and taunts you which increases the suffering.

The other hand of course belongs to The Holy Spirit who has been sent by our loving Heavenly Poppa to guide you away from the prince of darkness, satan, the evil one and towards the brilliant light of Jehovahs, Jesus’ and The Holy Spirit’s most amazing love.

I do not know about you, but I prefer to be holding The Holy Spirits loving, gentle but strong hand which bring me love, comfort, strength, guidance and healing than satans filthy, hand that feels like dung and brings nothing but misery. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer : Thank you Jesus Shammah (Ezekiel 48:35 The LORD Is There ) that when I place my hand in Your firm but tender hand, You guide me away from the traps the devil and his minions lay before me and towards the land of holy honey which is life giving. I extol Thee in Your loving name. Amen

I trust Jesus to guide me away from destruction and towards the land of milk and honey. Joseph a son of Jehovah

So That I Will be Free From

Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain. (1 Chronicles 4:10, New International Version).

I find that the more obedient we are to The Holy Spirits guidance the more sensitive we are to hearing His voice through out the day. As a consequence He leads away from mental, physical and spiritual disasters. This, of course, leads us away from mental, physical and spiritual pain.

I have experienced it on both sides of the coin.

There were times when I though I knew better than The Holy Spirit and refused to be obedient unto His voice. The end result was a lot of unnecessary pain and suffering.

I wish I could say that I have learned my lesson but unfortunately there are still occasions when I refuse to obey His guidance and always pay for it.

On the other side of the coin, there are so many times when The Holy Spirit is guiding me where either I think it is the wrong direction or I do not know where He is guiding me. Having, through experience, learned to trust Him ( which is what having faith is ) I obey His guidance. On the other side of the experience many times I laugh and thank Him because He knew He was leading me away from disaster that I did not know was there.

Trust The Holy Spirit, you will be glad you did. He knows so much more than you do and see’s things you do not. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer : Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for blessing me with the assurance that when I put my hand in Your strong yet gentle hand You shall guide me away from trouble and towards peace. I exalt You in the name of The Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. Amen

Put your hand in the hand of The Prince of Peace to be guided away from the valley of trouble and towards the green pastures of peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah

He Led You Through

Do not forget that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He gave you water from the rock! He fed you with manna in the wilderness. Deuteronomy 8:15-16 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

We have all traversed the great and terrifying wilderness. It comes in many forms. Moving away from home for the first time ( especially if it is in another city or country ), starting a new job, a sickness that incapacitates us, financial distress. It seems as if we are all alone in a big, terrifying place with no shelter available to us.

That is when those of us who belong to Christ draw all the closer to Him. That is a good thing because it matures us and develops an ever closer relationship with Him.

Every time we step out the door we are travelling into unknown territory where snakes with venom await us. Their venom is evil, wicked words that are meant to hurts us or enrage us. That is what these vile creatures love to do.

That is why we need to depend upon The Holy Spirit to be a shield from their venom and teach us how to use Bible verses like a sword to pierce deeply within these filthy perverts hearts.

The scorpions sting slowly envelopes the whole body and mind. That is the wicked who make dung look like sugar and when we partake of it, it destroys our minds, spirits and bodies. These come in the form of sexual perverseness ( like homosexuality ), alcohol and drug abuse and numerous other destructive vices.

That is why we need The Holy Spirit to open our eyes to the trap, how to avoid it and how to protect ourselves from its influence.

The greatest leader of which we need to follow is The Holy Spirit. He leads us away from destructive vices and how to be victorious over evil men and women Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Rohi ( Jesus is our Divine Shepherd Psalm 23 ) that You bless me with The Holy Spirit to guide me away from the snakes and scorpions, and towards Your Heavenly home. I exalt You in the name of the greatest Sheppard, Jesus Christ. Amen

May you always follow the directions of The Holy Spirit in your life to guide you away from the vipers and scorpions. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Put All of Your Fears at The.

But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

When you put all of your fears at the feet of Jehovah, He will send The Holy Spirit to calm your fears. Have a Bible handy because He will guide you to verses that comfort, encourage and strengthen you.

Sometimes, you have to just be still and allow His presence to calm you. Oh what peace there will be in your heart even though the waves are crashing down all around you. This has happened to me so many times in my walk with Jesus.

No matter how big or overpowering the problem is, it is minute to The Holy Spirit.

Be polite, thank Jehovah for sending you The Holy Spirit to comfort you. Be sure to thank The Holy Spirit as well.

Once your fear is calmed The Holy Spirit will guide you on the proper course to take in dealing with the situation that causes you to be afraid.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace Isaiah 9:6, Rom 8:31-35 ) that whenever the raging fires of temptation or the battering waves of hurricane for calamity engulfs me I can always take shelter in Your strong yet gentle wings. I praise You in the name of He who calms the fiercest storms, Jesus Christ. Amen

No matter the calamity you can always take shelter under Jehovahs strong yet gentle wings. Joseph a son of Jehovah
