Comes from You.

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord. Every good thing I have comes from you.” Psalms 16:2 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

Yes we are to seek spiritual blessings more than physical ones but there is nothing wrong with physical blessings.

Did Jehovah not bless Jacob, Solomon and Job?

Then if Poppa is never changing why would we think He would not bless us with physical blessings as well ( as long as they do not consume us or to take Jehovahs place of worship ).

We have a friend that has bee hives. She is a very caring and sharing Christian woman. This year she harvested two tons of honey while all of the other bee hive owners only harvested one ton. We were talking about it and she remarked that she believes this is a blessing because she shares so much with others ( she does not share to get Jehovahs blessing but rather because that is in her heart to share ) and so Jehovah blessed her because she is a blessing to others.

I am a firm believer in this doctrine as well.

Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. Luke 6:38 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

Those who give generously shall receive generously. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ghmolah ( The God of Recompense. Job 11:20 ) for compensating me seven time more in return for my generosity towards others. I do not do good deeds to receive this gift but rather because I enjoy helping others which is a reward in of itself. I praise You in the name of the greatest gift You have blessed me with, Jesus Christ. Amen

He Will Not Leave Those Who

Those who know the Lord trust him,because he will not leave those who come to him.Psalms 9: 10 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

Just as with any relationship, it takes time to know Jesus’ character and to know Him personally.

Through this journey we all learn to trust Him more and more as we mature in our relationship with Him.

There will be so many times we feel as if everyone has deserted us.

That is when we go to Christ and we over time, become more and more confident, that He will never leave us nor desert us.

There has been so many times I felt as if everyone has deserted me but Jesus. Then it slowly became evident that I do not need anyone but Jesus when times are tough. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank You Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to always walk with me through both the good times and the tough ones. That is such a comforting knowledge to me every day. I praise You in the name of He with whom I look forward to walking through the garden with in Heaven, Jesus Christ. Amen

They Will be Ashamed That

Then my enemies will see that the Lord is on my side. They will be ashamed that they taunted me, saying, “So where is the Lord that God of yours?” With my own eyes I will see their downfall;  they will be trampled like mud in the streets. Micah 7:10 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

There have been so many times when I stood against the crowd on righteous principals. In every one of those times I was viciously mocked by the crowd. It seemed as if the whole world was against me.

This was not a one off experience but sometimes lasted every day for months.

The temptation to give in to the crowd was huge a times.

That is when I prayed for The Holy Spirit to bless me with the strength and courage to not back down.

Numerous times I was not vindicated right then and there but I was always vindicated and rejoiced at not giving in to the pressure.

You may not be vindicated today but in Christ’s time you will see that standing upon the rock of the Bible was worth it. You will also see your tormentors face Divine retribution. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Makkeh (Ezekiel 7:9 The LORD that Smiteth ) for mercilessly destroying my wicked tormentor while delivering just punishment to them for the pain and misery they inflicted upon me. I praise You in the name of The Supreme Judge, Jesus Christ. Amen

Will Come to Nothing.

You will look in vain for those who tried to conquer you. Those who attack you will come to nothing. Isaiah 41:12 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation

There has been so many times unethical employers or co-workers tried to brow beat me into submission to get me to do something unethical.

The pressure was so great many times it felt as if my head was going to explode.

Many times I asked Jehovah if I could compromise just this once to which He said no. I asked Him to help but there none forth coming.

Eventually the crisis blew over.

In reflection I realized Jehovah did not help me because He knew I could take the pressure and it helped me mature and grow stronger.

As for those villains their plans looked to succeed for a while and it cast doubt in my mind.

And then, disaster came crashing down upon them suddenly and destroyed them.

Boy was I glad I stood on that solid ground then.

Stand your ground upon the solid rock of The Holy Bible. It may not seem worth it now but it sure will in the future. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Mephalti (Psalms 18: 2 The LORD My Deliverer ) for delivering me from my tormentor and eternally banishing them from my life. I praise You in the name of the greatest deliverer, Jesus Christ. Amen

I Will be Happy Because Of

I will be happy because of you;God Most High, I will sing praises to your name. Psalms 9:2 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

Have you ever in exuberant joy sung songs to Jehovah, Jesus or The Holy Spirit?

I have many times.

Have you ever been happy because of your relationship with Jehovah, Jesus or The Holy Spirit?

I have many times.

I love to express my love and adoration towards the beautiful Trinity by playing melodies of love to them on my flute, usually at sunrise or sun set or while sitting beside a gentle waterfalls.

Many times I start just singing simple tunes to them that comes out in joyous thunderous exhalations of love and joy.

Many times while walking on a trail or working in the garden I just sing bright little diddlies for them of my gratitude and love for them like a child walking with their most special friend.

How about you?

Where do you sing your best praises to Jehovah, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit? Feeling blue?

Sing a song of love to Jesus and experience His Divine joy permeate you through and through. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Oh Poppa Jehovah El Simchath Gili (Psalms 43:4 GOD My Exceeding Joy ), my greatest joy comes from singing songs of praise, love and joy to You who bless me with a precious treasure of Heavenly joy at being the God of my life. I praise You in the name of the sunshine of my heart, Jesus Christ. Amen

To be My Companions.

I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Psalms 101: 6 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation

I am glad that I take it slow in relationships.

Because of that I have avoided a lot of unnecessary pain and heartache. That goes for friendship and for love affairs.

Friendship takes time to nurture and grow but when Jehovah blesses you with one, you are eternally grateful for the gift.

When someone tries to manipulate you into doing something like lending them money my reply is that if you were a true friend you would be respectful and accept my caution in not giving you what you want. If they want something a quick way to see if they are sincere is to make a written contract. If they accuse you of not trusting them just explain that trust is earned not given. If you intend upon honouring your word why do you reject putting it in writing?

Stay away from those parasites because they are users and abusers. The only time they want anything to do with you is when they want something from you while offering nothing in return.

The number of friends I have I can count on one hand. I can also always count on them to respect me and help me. They are worth more than a thousand good time friends. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Faithful friends are few and far between which makes them such a special treasure. Jesus is my best friend. Who is yours? Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Christ Pyrrand ( God my friend John 15:14 ) for blessing me with the most special friendship there could ever be and thank you for those with whom You have brought into my life to be true friends as well. I praise You in Your most gracious name. Amen

Sing a Song of Love To

You Did Not Choose

You did not choose me; I chose you. John 15:16 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

Please do not say that you came to Jesus because you did not.

Jesus knows those that are receptive to Him and those are the ones He goes to.

Oh He offers His salvation to everyone but He knows those whose hearts are receptive to Him.

Upon becoming a member of Jehovahs family He has a specific plan for your life. It is not something that will occur once and quickly. It will take years before you are of service.

Moses spent how many years in the wilderness before returning to Egypt?

How long before Paul become one of the greatest evangelists?

Prayer: Thank you Ha-Melech Jehovah (Psalms 98:6 The LORD the King) for blessing me with the honour of choosing me with the privilege of being a free will servant of Yours. It is a great treasure of my life. I praise You in Your majestic name. Amen

There are Four Ways

Jehovah You silence your enemies and destroy those who try to get even. Psalms 8:2 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

There are four ways Jehovah silences our enemies.

One is to have circumstances destroy and humiliate them. The evil they intended to crush and destroy us comes back on their ow head. This always happens in public as a warning to others.

Two is to allow themselves be so consumed with hate and revenge they cannot think straight. This causes them to behave in a manner in which the destruction they intended for Jehovah children destroys them instead. Again, this always happens in public as a warning to others.

Three is that others will see what is happening and take action to use their evil schemes to destroy them instead of the righteous ones. This always happens in public as a warning to others.

And finally there is the fourth which is Divine intervention. This is where Jehovah Himself steps in to intervene. This is the most terrifying to experience and to witness.

I have witnessed it a few times and it caused me to have nightmare about it for weeks afterwards.

This punishment is reserved for the most evil of the lot.

Fighting against Jehovah or His children is a sure fire method of certain destruction. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Gador Milchamah (The Lord is Mighty in Battle Psalm 24:8 ) for blessing me with Your unconquerable battle victories when I am attacked. There has been so many times it looked like the wicked were going to win when You struck quickly and strongly. The end result was my foes were utterly and totally defeated. I praise You in the name of my mighty Warrior King, Jesus Christ. Amen

Jehovah Blesses Us with So Many

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell all the miracles you have done. Psalms 9:1 The Holy Bible The New Century Version

When you begin and end your day with prayers saying thank you to Jehovah for all the blessing He has abundantly given you that day you begin to become more and more sensitive to them. This causes you to praise Poppa continually through out the day.

It even enlightens you to the fact that good comes out of bad which means no matter how bad an event there is always something in it to praise Jehovah for.

As well you become more sensitive to the miracles Jehovah preforms so many times in your life that you would otherwise not have been aware of.

They do not have to be earth shattering but can be simple ones like say you trip and are heading straight for a crash through a glass door when suddenly you regain your composure. It can be when you are narrowly missed by a car running a red light. It can be waking up cured of some disease like a horrible cold. This list is endless.

Jehovah blesses us with so many miracles throughout the day that we are not even aware of unless we are walking close with Him. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh ( God provides Philippians 4:19 ) for blessing me with abundant blessings of miracles both big and small. Thank you for the ones I see and the once that go unnoticed. I thank you in the name of Your most special blessing, Jesus Christ. Amen
