“So when you spread out your hands [in prayer, pleading for My help], I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you offer many prayers, I will not be listening. Your hands are full of blood!” Isaiah 1:15The Holy Bible Amplified Version
When your hands are soaked with the blood of innocent folks do you absurdly believe He will listen to your prayers?
What blood, I have not murdered anyone you may say. Maybe not with a knife or pistol but have you cheated anyone lately? Because of this could it be that you are taking food from their mouth because they now do not have money for groceries?
Have you viciously gossiped about anyone lately? Does this not pierce their hearts like a knife while you wickedly laugh at their discomfort? What if it drove them to suicide? Their blood is on your hands.
Have you ever said a mean cruel word to someone just to intentionally hurt them? Again that is like piercing their hearts with a knife?
Every time you intentionally hurt someone with your words or actions that is like piercing their hearts. That blood is on your hands in the eyes of Jehovah and your prayers are like dung to Him.
How can a God of love bless anyone with a heart of vile hate and greed? Your prayers are in vain Joseph son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah El Roi. ( You are the God who sees ) correct me when I begin to stray from Your holy code of conduct because I never want to depart from our loving relationship. I cherish the times we spend every day in communion. I humbly ask this in the name of He who always walked in accordance to Your sanctified manner of conduct Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
An arrogant and greedy man stirs up strife. Proverbs 28:25 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
To cause strife is to cause fights.
Watching a documentary about what caused World War 1 there were two blatant conclusions.
One the one king wanted his son to cause a war with a weaker one so that he could overthrow that government. That is greed. He never imagined the consequences of his actions. Your greed will cause untold innocent ones to suffer. You will be held accountable for that.
The other reason was hate. The man that executed the prince had a hatred for his nationality that goes back centuries. He never dreamed that his one shot would cause landscapes across Europe to be soaked with innocent blood.
A heart filled with love builds others up. A heart filled with hate only destroys. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Your hate will cause many innocent to suffer. You will be held accountable for that. Your hatred will not only destroy you but many innocent ones. For that you will suffer worse than the one you inflicted your hate upon by Divine judgment.
Prayer: Please Jehovah Heseh (God is love) fill me daily with Your Divine love so that hatred has no place to be nurtured in my heart. I dread the damage it will do.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the Lord will be exalted and safe. Proverbs 29:25 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
Here are four very important words we all need to remember : “ What do I care. “
There are plenty of wolves ( those who like to prey upon the weak and tear them down ) both inside inside the church ( as a matter of fact , I have encountered more inside the church than outside ) and outside ( most of the ones I have met outside the church are the satanic politically correct whose idea of free speech and thought is that you are entitled to your opinion as long as it agrees with mine. If you disagree with mine your are intolerant , racist , homophobic or sexist ) .
When they attack you unfairly for standing up to for the Truth just reply : You are the intolerant one who refuses to listen to the truth. Therefore as pertaining to your “ opinion” “ What do I care. “ and just stand there and allow them to scream at you and look like fools. Either that or they will shut up and walk away.
When they try to gang up on you just ask the ring leader why they are afraid to debate with you one on one. I have used this quite successfully numerous times.
Indeed most times after the confrontation many folks come up to me and thank me for standing up for the Truth ( even if they are not Christians ).
The Lord is my light and my salvation— Whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1 Holy Bible Amplified Version.
Then there are the ones that laugh at you because you do not follow them down the road of despair. They are in despair because they try to keep up with the Jones and the Jones keep on changing the rules. I dress as I feel comfortable and respectable.
When someone mocks me because I do not keep up with the “in crowd” I reason with them like why they “have to have “ the latest mobile phone when there is nothing wrong with the one they have now. It makes them look silly. The conversation is ended when they ask me what others think of me because I do not keep up with the crowd with “ What do I care. “
I then ask them if they are nurturing their spirit as much as they are big business’ wallet. They are informed that I care what Jesus believes in me not what the “ in crowd “ thinks of me. It is a great opportunity to open up a dialogue on the Christian walk.
I care not what my fellow man thinks of me, I care what my Heavenly King believes in me. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (God our Father) for blessing me with the assurance that it is only what You believe me to be in being Your cherished , loved child that is important not what the delusional think about me that is important in my life. I extol Thee in the name whose only concern when walking amongst us was in the belief of His Heavenly Father that mattered Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
I said, “ I will guard my ways That I may not sin with my tongue; I will muzzle my mouth While the wicked are in my presence.” Psalm 39:1 Holy Bible Amplified Version
This is great advice because the wicked love to trap you in your words and misquote you to start fights and then sit back and laugh.
I have encountered many who have a conversation with me about someone else only to take what I said and twist it around when they relay it to the person talked about. The purpose of this is to cause a fight which satisfies their perverted pleasure.
I have learned the hard way that when someone gossips about someone to me I just ask them a simple question which ends the filth right there and there : “ And what do you say about me when I am not around ? “ They have a look of shock and the conversation is abruptly ended.
Another thing I like to do is get a pen and paper and start to write down what they are saying. When they ask me what I am doing my reply is that I am documenting what they are saying so as not to misquote them if the other person comes to me about what was said. They squirm like a worm on a hot frying pan.
And finally try this one : “ It has nothing to do with me . “
I like to live by the saying : “ Be quick to listen and slow to speak. “ it keeps me out of a lot of trouble.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Mephalti (The Lord my Deliverer) for blessing me with Your Divine wisdom to keep my mouth shut around the wicked ones. In this way You have delivered me from their wicked schemes. I praise You in the name of He who refused to be trapped by Satan in the wilderness Jesus Christ . Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
I am witnessing the suffering of certain family members. For years I have tried to share with them that their selfish, greedy, lying cheating lifestyle is going to come back to bite them. Over the past few years I have witnessed them slowly descending into a living Hell of their own making. Their financial situation is worsening by the day. Their health is slowly ebbing away (once they were very active but now because of health problems they can go out less and less). They are suffering intensely. There is constant fighting in the home.
Even though they have abused me when I witness this catastrophe it is agonizing (agony is mush more intense than pain).
I want to gather them in my arms and explain to them that this is their own undoing and if they do not repent their future will only get worse. Alas, it will be to no avail. I know in my heart they will not listen. I know exactly how Jesus felt when he said: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who murders the prophets and stones [to death] those [messengers]who are sent to her [by God]! How often I wanted to gather your children together [around Me], as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.” Matthew 23:37 Holy Bible, Amplified Version Holy Bible, Amplified Version
I am sure the Holy Spirit has spoken to their hearts but they laughed and said there is no God. Even now I am sure the Holy Spirit is convicting them but in their stubbornness and pride they refuse to repent of their wicked ways.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord. Isaiah 1:18
I recently read an article about a man who traveled across either Canada or the U.S and spoke with folks from all ages, finical groups and ethnic groups. His findings confirmed what they Bible says when it says that as you do unto others, so too will it be done unto you. It also says that when you obey Jehovah He will bless you seven times. When you disobey Jehovah, He will curse you seven times.
‘And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but actwith hostility against Me,then I also will act with hostility against you, and I will strike you seven times for your sins. Leviticus 26:23-25 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
I am seeing it in my family and it is like a knife piercing my heart.
Are you living a lying, cheating,conniving, back biting, self centered life right now?
Beware, Jehovah is a God of justice and you will suffer much more than you gain in the long run. It may take years or it may take decades but Jehovahs justice will prevail. And when that justice happens, there is no conning Him, no plea bargaining or parole. Justice will be served to its fullest extent. I have seen it happen repeatedly through the last decade with numerous others so do not laugh and say it will not happen to you.
Gods justice will be done in Gods time, in Gods way. You will not escape it. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Please Jehovah-Hashopet (The Lord is the supreme Judge) send the Holy Spirit to convict the wicked ones of their evil ways unto repentance so they do not continue to suffer in their lives for their obstinance and cheating of others. May this be done so they do not suffer the supreme price for their evil in the damnation of eternal torment in Hell. I humbly request this in the name of the supreme judge Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day. Amen
Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, Yet Your commandments are my delights. Psalm 119:143 New King James Version
It ain’t easy being a Christian.
You are going against the tide.
As such you can expect to experience a lot of ridicule, prejustice, and hostility including from your own family.
When I was in China many Chinese who became Christians were completely cut off from their families. If they went back home they were ridiculed, ostracized and even suffered violence by their own families. At school and work no one will even talk with them and they are constantly ridiculed. They had truly given up everything for Christ.
I wonder how many Christians in the west would suffer like that?
When you become a Christian Satan is not going to celebrate he is going to attack and the closer you get to Christ the more the attacks and the more severe they are. Joseph- Anthony: Green
“Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of His Cross. He hath many desirous of consolation, but few of tribulation. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities befall them.” — Thomas à Kempis
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Shalom (God of our peace) for blessing me with Your divine strength, peace and wisdom to withstand the attack that satan throws at me and for the most delightful experience of helping me be an obedient child to the One who loves me with a divine love. I praise You in the name of He who showed me Your most beautiful love Jesus Christ Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
I have become a stranger to my brothers, And an alien to my mother’s children. Psalm 69:8New King James Version
When you become close friends many times you regard yourselves as brothers or sisters.
When you become a Christian you do not fit in with the old crowd. Your likes and dislikes change. Soon you become like a stranger to the old crowd. Many times they will become your most difficult adversaries. It will become difficult to walk away from them because you were so close but now you belong to the Christian brother and sisterhood.
That does not mean you cannot enjoy friendship with unbelievers. It means that many times you will have to walk away from friendships that were at one time very close.
Have you ever lived in another country where they have different cultures, customs and languages? Many times they look at you and think you are crazy because you do things differently than they do. Why do you not do the things we do (after living in China for about ten years I experienced a lot of this) will be a common mantra.
The same will occur with your biological family.
They will see the change in you and cannot figure out why you have changed. Many times they will become hostile to the changes and indeed you will find yourself ostracized from family get togethers.
It will be painful but just remember, now you are a member of a Holy family. What is taken away from you in the world Jehovah will more than replace in His divine family. That does not mean it will be a family where everybody holds hands and sings Jesus loves me. There is always problems in every family, including the Christian one.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Yehew (God of His people) for the wonderful blessing of adopting me into Your precious holy family. Please heal the wounds that are caused by separation from those with whom I was once close with but they have distanced themselves from me since becoming one of Your righteous children. I gratefully offer this prayer in the name of my best friend Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
