So he got up and ate and drank, and with the strength of that food he travelled forty days and nights to Horeb (Sinai), the mountain of God. 1 Kings 19:8 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Before Jehovah sends us to where He has something important to share with us He knows we need to be nourished. Most times it will not be physical nourishment but spiritual and mental.
From personal experience it can be a couple of hours or days or months and in some instances it took years. Jehovah is in no hurry and knows what you need to be ready to hear what He desires to share with you. The amount of time it takes depends upon you. It is important so He is in no hurry.
Notice that it was Mount Sinai which is the same place Moses received the Ten Commandments.
So yes where Jehovah is sending you is someplace quiet and isolated where there will be no interruption. He needs you to be in communion with Him because He has something important to discuss with you.
For me it was deep in the forest in a very isolated place. And yes, it was very important what we discussed. It could not have happened any other place that that isolated area. The amount of time spent in that place was three months.
That may not happen to you but you can be assured it will be in an isolated place and it is important what He has to say to you.
We need to go on Gods time not our own. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ezer (The LORD our Helper) for blessing me with Your Divine help to be prepared for the time in which You chose to speak important matters to me in Your Holy place. I exalt Thee in the name of He who had the strength to go to the cross for me Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Romans 12:9 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Being a volunteer in a seniors home I see many spouses, both men and women daily come in to care for their loved ones. I see the same thing with adult children come in and care for their elderly parent or parents. It is extremely difficult for them but of no consequence to them. They gladly serve out of love.
“Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it.”Thomas à Kempis
As well the same can be said for those that care for disabled children or parents at home. It is a heavy burden on them which they gladly bear because of love. Sometimes it costs them a marriage or separation. They lose everything. Many times they serve with no help from the other family members.
I believe that those that love the deepest are those that serve the best during difficult times in anothers life. Joseph- Anthony: Green
For me I am blessed with strength, encouragement, patience, wisdom and peace in the gentle, strong, loving arms of Jehovah while caring for my disabled elderly mother. When the burden feels to heavy I go to Him and He blesses me with unending strength, peace, love, joy and wisdom to carry on.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ezer (The LORD our Helper) for blessing me with a loving, patient, caring heart to encourage, strengthen and comfort those that are enduring trials and tribulations, sorrows and snares just as You have helped me through my numerous ones in my life. I thank You in the name of He who I always try to emulate in helping others Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.Matthew 10:38-39 New King James Version
How many for eons have folks wondered the meaning of life?
They foolishly waste their time amassing material wealth.
Those with the most toys when they die are not the happiest nor the riches, they are the saddest and poorest in spirit., Joseph- Anthony: Green
Chasing after satanic religions like buddihism or new agers still leaves them with a empty feeling and purpose.
There is only one way to enlightenment and that is through the Holy Spirit. All else is satan disguised as light as he leads you down to an eternal Hell. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Some try to maintain a super fit body all of their lives, sorry but you will be in for quite the shock on your death bed when you realize it was all for naught. We all die and then go to our eternal rewards’. That is not to say we should not take proper care of our bodies, just do not worship them.
Some find it in raising a family. Oh the deep sadness when their children grow up and they are left with an empty nest and an empty heart, especially if they distance themselves from you which is all too common today. There is nothing wrong with enjoying having a Christian family but those who worship their children and grand children are raising selfish, self centered child which grow into selfish, self centered adults. The only time they call mommy or daddy or grandma or grandpa is when they want money. They do not appreciate it and give nothing in return. They never call, come to visit or help. They are waiting for them to die so they can get their inheritance and spend it foolishly. I unfortunately see all too often as seniors live a daily hell of loneliness and deep sadness in isolation. This is a shame upon the children and a disgrace.
Others worship their careers. It is all for naught. They will lose it when their career is out dated, which happens all too common today. In many instances people are replaced by robots. How about when you retire, then what are you going to do with your life if it has been centered on your career?
But when we become free willing servant to Christ our King we will find the true meaning of their lives when Jehovah blesses us with revealing it to them. It will not be easy the following path Jehovah has chosen for you but well worth it in our daily lives and in our eternal ones.
Following Christ is not easy but the rewards are Heavenly. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Rohi – Shepherd for being such a patient and wise Shepherd to this at times obstinate little , sheep. Please bless all who place their faith in You with guiding them to the lives You have purposed for them before they were even born. I exalt You and humble beseech You in the name of the greatest shepherd Jesus Christ. Amen.
May Jehovah bless you today and every day with His precious love, joy and peace.
We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.Hebrews 10-10 New King James Version
Sanctified: to set apart to a sacred purpose or to religious use. Merriam- Webster Dictionary
When we accept Christ’s sacrifice of His precious blood to gain entry into Jehovahs Kingdom we become sanctified.
This means we walk away from all worldly desires such as self centeredness, selfishness, arrogance, and disrespect to name a few and dedicate ourselves to being servants of our Heavenly King Jesus Christ.
You were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 New King James Version
Yes we are Christ’s servants and yes He has a specific career for each of us.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand. Ephesians 2:10 New King James Version
So before you accept Christ as your Savior you had better weigh the consequences of it.
It will mean sacrifices which are very difficult. It means you may have to walk away from family and friends (Yes most of your most strongest opposition will come from your family and friends). It may mean the sacrifice of your lifestyle. You may be called to move to another area and even another country.
Your sole devotion is to be unto our Heavenly King. He is to be above everything and everyone else.
For me it meant sacrificing relationships that I was extremely close with. We still have a close relationship but it was difficult for all involved to come to terms that Jesus came first in my life.
And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him. Luke 14:7-29 New King James Version
If you take up the offer but then realize the price is too high and decide to drop out of Christ’s kingdom you will be laughed at for sure.
There is no such thing as accepting Christ’s offer without sacrifice on your behalf.
Those who are misguided believe falsely that once they accept Jesus they just sit back and do nothing and wait for Him to take them to Heaven are in for a very shocking revelation come Judgment Day.
Prayer: Thank youJehovah Ezer (The LORD our Helper) for blessing me with Your Divine help and strength to be an obedient child of Yours when it was difficult to do so. I praise You in the name of He who preformed the most difficult taks on the cross for my sake Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ beautiful love bless you today and every day.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Timothy 3:2-5 New King James Version
One day in the supermarket line up the headline in a national magazine caught my eyes. It read:” Hurry Up and Die.”
The jist of the article is that many people that went through the great depression of the nineteen thirties scrunched and saved their money.
Their foolish materialistic children have gone in debt way over their heads. The children are not concerned because they believe the money they will get from their parents inheritance will pay their debts.
A consequence of this is many of the elderly are abuse by their children and grand children. They cheat their parents out of money, throw them into a seniors home and only come around when they want money. I have seen and witnessed this pathetic scenario too many times.
As I was reading the article 2 Timothy 3:2-5 flashed into my mind and pretty much every word there describes these low life’s I have met.
Now mind you, there are a lot of abusive parents that are unrepentant towards their now adult children so I believe they are getting their just due (although that does not excuse the children any more than the Pharisees were excused for nailing Christ to the cross).
Prayer: Please Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) whisper in the ears of the ingrates that the commandment after loving you is loving our parents. Abusing parents is hideous to You. As well my Beloved whisper in the ear of the parents whose children lovingly respectfully care for them to not be so difficult towards them but to be appreciative of them. I humbly ask this in the name of Your most loving and respectful son Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
These articles are dedicated to the wonderful and amazing way Jehovah Jireh (the Lord our provider) answers prayers. It is a simple journal that I would like to use as an example for others to list their sincere prayer requests and then how our Beloved answers them.
It will amaze you and create a heart of gratitude and respect for our gracious Jehovah Heseh (Our God of love).
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows James 1:27 New King James Version
It has been three weeks since I did volunteer work at a seniors home because of a flu outbreak.
I prayed to Jehovah to bless me with an answer if they wanted me to return.
That day as mom and I were doing errands she picked up a bundle of community newspapers and took them to the seniors home. I did not know she intended to do this.
As we were delivering the papers I encountered many of the residents and the staff I volunteer with. They were all very happy to see me and the staff informed me that the flu epidemic was over and they want me to return this week.
When I got home there was a feeling like Jehovah saying:” Does that answer your question?”
I laughed and thanked Him for His wonderful way of answering my prayer.
Now I have returned to volunteering at the seniors home and we are all very glad things have gotten back to “normal”.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ropheka (God our Healer) for healing those sick in the seniors home and thank you that I can at long last return to serving you there to bring glory to Your marvelous name. I exalt you in the name of He who healed Peters sick mother Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20 New King James Bible
Being a Christian means you will never be politically correct.
You cannot be politically correct and Christ correct. Joseph- Anthony: Green
That means standing against what is wrong and standing for what is right.
This will leave you ostracized at work, at school and many times especially in your family. Many times it will feel as if it is you against the world.
Take heart, comfort and strength in the knowledge that Christ is there with you.
You can pour your heart out to Him because He has already been there.
While He waked amongst us He was hated and despised by many. His family rejected Him and made fun of Him. So He understands exactly how you feel.
The Holy Spirit will comfort you and strengthen you.
There have been many times I have experienced it and the Holy Spirit helped me through it all.
“You will never stand alone while standing on the Word of God.” Kathryn Souza-Wine
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my friend) for walking with me through all my trial and tribulations as I stand for what You deem to be correct not what society falsely believes is politically correct. I praise you in Your wonderful loving name. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. Proverbs 20:3 New International Version
Have you ever met those who love to start a fight. They think it is funny to watch you get angry.
Whenever I encounter such perverts I just inform them I do waste my time talking with fools and you are a fool and then walk away. It gets the point across and they watch themselves around me and most times go looking for easier victims.
Whenever they try to befriend me I politely inform them I am not interested as they are nothing but trouble.
If I have to work with them and they refuse to work together I just do the work myself and discreetly inform the supervisor of the problem and inform them I refuse to work with the troublemakers again. They usually do not last long at any jobs for this reason.
As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome person for kindling strife. Proverbs 26:21 New International Version
They are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions. 1 Timothy 6:4 New International Version
As for the Gossiping Gerties whenever they come around and try to gossip about someone I just ask them what they say about me when I am not around and then get out a mp3 or something to record the conversation. When they ask me what I am doing I inform them I am recording the conversation to share with the person being talked about so as there is no misunderstanding of what they said (that way they cannot deny they said it). They quickly shut up and leave me alone. It may mean that I do not talk with many but that is okay as it avoids a lot of un-necessary fights.
And you know what?
As they age they become more and more isolated. That is usually when they become homebodies and addicted to TV and shopping and gambling.
I have seen it with a lot of seniors.
Prayer: Please Jehovah Yeshua (God our rescuer) rescue me from those whose tongues are like vipers (full of poison) and guide my words and actions to convict them of their sin so as to lead to repentance. I humbly pray this in the name of He who did not tolerate such vipers Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
