Those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. —1 Corinthians 12:22 New Living Translation.
Now if we are a family of Christ as Jehovah as our Father then there are big brothers and sisters and little brothers and sisters. The big brothers and sisters are the ones that have a deep understanding and experience with God. Their walk with God is strong. The babies are the new members of our family or the ones through no fault of their own are weak.
The big brothers and sisters should not be critical or haughty of the babies. They should nurture them, encourage them and be respectful towards them.
The more mature Christian is to be loving, patient, encouraging, and mentoring to those who are not as far along the walk to Heaven as themselves. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The babies should listen to and obey their big brothers and sisters. When they speak to them with love about areas in their life that needs to be corrected they should not be insulted or hurt by the actions.
If we all behaved like this in the churches the churches would not decrease. Many churches are losing members because of the mean spiritedness of other members. Those hypocritical members are judgmental and condescending to the babies in the family. The babies are hurt and give the middle finger to the church and walk away. Indeed how many new members of the family walk away from Jesus because of this? I tell you true, their blood will be on the guiltiest hands (yes blood. Because they walk away from Jesus because of you, you are the reason they are going to hell.).
How do you think that makes Jesus feel?
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love) for lovingly blessing me with the Holy Spirit to teach me and help me to be the child You desire me to be. Please bless me to emulate Him to come along side those who are not as mature in their walk with You as I am (that does not mean childish but rather inexperienced) and to lovingly guide them to a deeper loving, obedient relationship with You. Thank you for the big brothers and sisters whom You have sent to mentor me and may I emulate them as well. I sincerely request this in the name of the greatest Teacher Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
“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.
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.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 New Living Translation
Whether it is with a Christian or non Christian, when you are being pompously judgmental with others what opinion will others have of Christ when you claim to be a Christian?
Is Satan laughing while your words pierce the hearts of others?
Could this attitude drive people away from Christ rather than too Him?
Are you being a sword of Satan and driving through the receptive hearts of others?
When I was a teacher I would encourage students to come to church with me. Every Sunday it was the same filth of Satans followers pretending to be Christians with their arrogant self righteous behavior that would spew forth their poison (and most of them were elders in the congregation) . When my students saw this they refused to ever go to church again. Many refused to even discuss Jesus. They would say: “Jesus is supposed to be love, teacher that was anything but love.”
Whether you want to accept it or not, your words and deeds reflect Jesus when you claim to be one of His servants.
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Galatians 5:26 New Living Translation
Prayer: Please Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) guide my words to be encouraging and healing so that they will bring praise and glory to Your loving name. In the name of the greatest orator Jesus Christ I humbly ask. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s templeand that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 New King James Version
Do you see the important part of these verses?
Anyone who destroys Jehovahs temple, He will destroy you.
As we Christians are the temple then it stands to reason that the offense is anyone that does anything to destroy another’s Christian walk. That includes false teachers and the wolves.
Some examples of false teachers are those who teach that we do not need to accept the fact that Christ died and slow agonizing death while shedding His Divine love for us.
Another example of anti-Christ teaching is that because Jesus loves us we can do what ever we desire with no consequences. Because He loves us we are all going to Heaven, hold hands in a circle and sing come by ya my Lord in Heavenly bliss. This satanic teaching is very popular in todays culture.
An additional satanic teaching is that there is no difference between Christ and the satanic cults of the world like islam There is a false teaching going around that there is no difference between Christianity and muslims. Christians believe Jesus is the son of God, muslims do not. Christians believe Jesus has been with Jehovah for all eternity, muslims do not. Christians believe that it is only through Christs sacrifice on the cross and our acceptance of Him as our Savior that gains us entry into Heaven, muslims do not.
Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall inourbrother’s way.Romans 14:13 New King James Version
The most wicked ones in any church are the wolves. They worship their god satan by driving more people from the church and Christ than anything or anyone else. These filth are the ones that are so high and mighty. They are quick to pounce upon others weaknesses in a superior judgmental way. I have seen too much of these wicked cursed ones in church and been the recipient of too many of their attacks. The perverse thing is that these are the ones that are the biggest sinners.
There are three types of folks that attend church. The biggest should be the smallest and the smallest should be the biggest.
The biggest group is the wolves, those seeking to attack others in a judgmental attitude and behavior. They drive more people from Christ and His church than any other contributing factor.
The next group is the groupies. They are not in church to worship or serve Christ, they are there to socialize in their little groups. If you are a new comer they will seldom welcome you to their group.
The last and smallest group are those who congregate to worship the Holy Trinity and to serve them.
When you attack a Christian, you attack Christ. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer:Thank you Jehovah-Ganan (The Lord is Our Defense) for protecting and defending me against attacks by the wicked ones who knowingly or unknowingly attack Your precious child. Even though it was hard You taught me to depend upon You to defend me instead of foolishly being a hot head and attempting this feat with my own limited power and knowledge. Please bless them my love with seeing how wicked their behavior and attitude is and repenting of it. I praise You in the name of He who will be the ultimate victor in this battle Jesus Christ. Amen.
May Jehovah bless you today and every day with His precious love, joy and peace.
“Christ will have no one deluded into thinking that He calls believers to a life free from conflict” John MacArthur
I do not know about you, but from my experience, it always comes with no warning at the worst time.
It also many times comes the worst from those closest to me and that is when it is the most intense.
Although conflict happens to everyone, when it come to a Christian it comes because we are succeeding in Christ’s duty and Satan is doing his best to destroy both our duty and our Christian life.
“The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household! ” Matthew 10: 24–25 New International Version
Now today they are not likely to call us Satan, they are more likely to call us insane, stupid, intolerant, backwards thinking or discriminating.
To choose to be honest at work or school they will laugh at us and call us insane and losers because we refuse to cheat. I have noticed this in increasing attitudes over the past five years and it is getting worse. To choose to go to a Bible study after school or work instead of going to watch a sports game and get drunk they will mockingly call us stupid.
Taking a Christ centered stand against homosexuality and saying no Jesus does not say this is okay and He will still allow you into Heaven but rather He condemns you to Hell they will say you are discriminating and intolerable of others rights. It is the same with abortion. Another satanic attack is when they are saying there is no difference between the islam religion and Christianity. The ignorant fall for it but try to explain the difference and see how many call you intolerant.
When you feel the intense pressure because you refuse to compromise your Christian life, remember Jesus has already been there. So take it to Him in prayer and He will comfort and strengthen you.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Shalom (God of our Peace) for enveloping me in Your beautiful peace when I am in the midst of Satan and his demonic minions attacks. Thank you Jesus that You have already been there so You understand. I give thanks in the name of the greatest comforter and encourager Jesus Christ Amen
May the sweet sunshine of Jesus’ precious love bless you today and every day.
When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. John 16:13 New King James Version
There are two types of guilt.
One comes from the conviction from the Holy Spirit when we have done wrong.
The other comes from Satan which gives you a wrong impression that your sins are not forgiven when you repent.
One is healthy, the other destructive.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 New King James Version Many times the Holy Spirit has convicted me when I have been mean spirited (said or done nasty things to others). He will not leave me alone until I repent. This is good for our relational life, spiritual life with Jehovah and physical health.
Whenever Satan tries to bring up this past sin to lay an unwarranted guilt conscience on me I just remind him of Christ’s forgiveness. If we listen to Satan we will constantly be worried if we have been forgiven (some people will bring up past wrongs to try to manipulate me which is how Satan uses them. I wisely, meekly and humbly remind them of my repentance and that it is they who are committing the sin now not me by trying to enslave me to past wrongs so they can get something from me they do not deserve) and constantly trying to seek forgiveness where there is none to be sought.
Satan will work in other areas of your life as well i.e. you are fat, you do not spend enough time with family, your grades are not good enough, you do not make enough money.
Can you list any others?
Listening to him will destroy our spiritual life, our physical and mental health.
When Satan tries to lay a guilt conscience on me I just remind him that because I have repented I am forgiven. Then I ask him if he has repented to Jesus for all the wrong he has done to Jehovahs children. Joseph- Anthony: Green
That is when it is best to go to Jehovah in prayer and He will guide you to the truth and destroy Satans wicked schemes.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Hashopet (The Lord is my Judge) for acquitting me of my filthy sin when I honestly repent unto You, the Supreme Judge. Thank you for teaching not to fall for the wicked filthy ones lies when he tries to lay a guilt conscience on me. I sing halleluiah to You in the name of He whose blood has washed me clean as fresh morning snow Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.”
So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. Genesis 19: 4- 9 New King James Version
Do you notice that the men of Sodom were so wicked they wanted to rape the two angels even though they knew it to be wicked?
So too it is with so many today.
The politically correct, the homosexuals, the womens libbers, the so called educators (from what see I do not know what they are teaching but it is not anything useful in my opinion ), the doctors that insist on trying to force people to take poison they call immunization shots ( have you wondered why they say we must get the flu shot and then they come out and say it is a different strain or why the people I know that get the flu shots get sicker than us that do not (at least that has been my experience) , why there are so many diseases in our children now a days) know their lifestyle is wicked but they do not want to admit it.
When the righteous try to stand up to them to protect our rights and our families rights, the wicked become enraged because they are denied their “right” to do what they want and force us to adhere to their version of what is right or wrong and try to destroy the righteous. Who are you to tell me what is right or wrong is their motto? The Bible is just a book of fairy tales. You are intolerant and prejudiced they cry. The satanic liberal media just gobble it up and make the righteous appear to be intolerant and stupid of our rights. They try to create fear mongering. They just write what they are told.
We must not be intimidated by them and continue to speak the truth with wisdom, gracefulness and meekness.
It is not possible to be Christ correct and politically correct. .Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Please Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) bless me with the wisdom, grace, meekness, humbleness and strength to always speak Your truth into the ever powerful wicked world that is becoming more and more like Sodom every day. Please use me witness to be a light from darkness into Your Heavenly light of truth and life. I ask this in the name of He who was never politically correct Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue. Keeps his soul from troubles.Proverbs 21:23 New King James Version
We have all done it haven’t we?
Put our foots in our mouths.
That is where we speak thinking we have insight only to be shamed by another when we are proven wrong.
The best way to cure foot in mouth disease is to watch your mouth. Personally many times someone has tried to argue with me and it looks like they have won. Later upon reflecting on what was said I believe the Holy Spirit guides me into knowledge on the subject and the next day I challenge the agitator and they are shamed. I do not intend to shame them but to correct erroneous thought.
The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil. Proverbs 15:28 New King James Version
At the same time there are many wolves out there that like nothing more than to be agitators and laugh at watching someone go off. They try to get under your skin to cause a fight. On the internet they are known as trolls. They troll like a fisherman.
Many times a fish will bite the lure just because the fisherman keeps on casting in their face.
Trolls do the same thing. They troll for the weak to pick fights with.
I just ask them if they have personal problems and if they would like me to offer information on how to deal with their issues. As well I let them know I am praying for them. They quickly leave me alone.
Before you speak ask yourself these questions: Is it necessary? If not then shut up.
Is this the right place?
I prefer to speak with someone one on one instead of in a crowd. If they are in a crowd their pride can be hurt which will back them into a wall and they become defensive.
Is it the right time?
If it is at work and it is personal choose a quiet place like a café to talk with them instead of causing an incident at work.
Is it being said in love?
Remember Christ is love, satan is war. If you are looking to pick a fight guess which one you are serving? Joseph- Anthony: Green
Am I qualified to talk about the subject?
I have met many who thought they were Mr. Know It Alls only to be made to look foolish because they did not know anything about the subject (myself included on occasion).
Prayer: Please KalEl (voice of God) bless me with the wisdom to know when to speak and how to speak to help others and there by bring glory to Your Holy name as I am a representative of You. I humbly request this in the name of the most eloquent speaker of all Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
