“There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting!” Luke 17:1 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There was a TV show back in the day that when someone did something bad the main character would always say: “ God will get you for that.”
Boy is that ever true.
Many decades have past since I was a gullible teen (and I thank Jehovah He protected me from the scam artists).
Those that tried to tempt me into doing drugs, having premarital sex, getting drunk all the time just to mention a few are complete and total wrecks. Their bodies are shot, their minds are shot. They live in horrible abject poverty. In their time they lived the high life, many admired them and followed them. They are not so cool now.
You can do as you like with your body but you will also pay the price for it. Joseph a son of Jehovah
I tremble at what so many school teachers, homosexuals and others are going to get when they preach their lies to impressionable children.
Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Tsuri (Psalms 19:14 O LORD My Strength ) for blessing me with the strength to resist temptation. Yes the apple looks enticing when it is presented but it is really a deadly poison which destroys, mind, body and spirit when indulged in. I praise You in the name of He who resisted the devil when He was at His weakest, Jesus Christ. AMEN
May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace today and every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah

Thank you Jehovah GELAH RAZ ( the God of the Revealer of Mysteries Colossians 1:26 ) for all the amazing revelations You have blessed me with.
Thank you that You did so in a simple manner in which was easy to understand.
Thank you for sending me the best teacher, the Holy Spirit. He has taught me so many important lessons in walking in accordance with Your will.
These have healed me, strengthened me, encouraged me and matured me.
They have also joined our hearts ever closer and stronger than any man made glue.
Thank you that He also taught me how to be blessed with having a heart to heart conversation with You as well as just enjoying walking and talking with You.
I thank you in the name of He with whom I have the most enjoyable conversations with, my best friend, Jesus Christ. Amen
May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. Romans 2:14-15 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There is no such thing as an atheist. It is not that they do not believe in Jesus but rather because of selfishness, they reject Him. After all, where do you think the Gods Law comes from in every culture?
Gods Law states that we are to do unto others as we want them to do unto us. Do not do unto others as we do not want them to do to us. Every culture and every country has this law.
Even if they seem to be getting away with breaking these laws ( and they do not because Jesus is a God of Justice, they will be punished. If not here on earth, most certainly in Hell for eternity. ) their conscience convicts them of it.
No one can or ever will escape Jesus’ true justice. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The next time you meet a so called atheist why not have a conversation asking them to explain this to you. Make sure you are both obeying Gods Law (it is also called Common Law) by being respectful with each other.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Deah ( God of knowledge. Romans 11:33 ) for blessing me with the knowledge of Your supreme law and the way to obey it. Please bless me with the opportunity to teach others in a way that the will respect You and obey Your Laws as well. I meekly request this in the name of my Savior whose blood made this all possible, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with peace and joy every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Being independent is satans trick to get us to plunge ourselves into painful failures and distance ourselves from Jehovah Joseph a son of Jehovah
In my infancy in Jehovahs family it was exceedingly difficult to trust in Jehovah and leave it in His hands. It is inherent in the fleshly family to be fiercely independent, which of course leads to many unnecessary disasters and hard times. It took many years and suffering to finally surrender it all to Him.
Even now, even though I know this is the right thing to do , sometimes it takes great battles to surrender my will to His.
There is great battle, which the weapons of Christ is memorizing Bible verses and intense prayer. These are guaranteed to bring victory to the soul, mind and spirit of every Christian.
When You give your problem unto Jehovah, leave it in His hands. Trust Him that He will do what is right, not what you want.
There is no sense in asking Him for His advice if you insist on not waiting for Him but going out and doing what you think is right. That always leads to disaster. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The other problem with depending upon yourself is that it lulls you into the false sense of security in your own intellect and physical prowess. This causes us to refuse to include Jehovah in our daily living. This only leads to catastrophe.
Self achievement brings a false sense of assurance that somehow we can live a pure life in our own ability. This attitude ultimately leads us to cut ourselves off from the heart of God and, in turn, to deny our true identity in Christ.” David Edwards
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah for blessing me with sending me The Holy Spirit Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper) to help guide me along the trail of life You have chosen for me to travel. May it always glorify Your name and help guide others along the path You have chosen for them to travel. I praise You in the name of He who obeyed You all the way to the path that lead to Calvary Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day along the path He has chosen for you to walk with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah

I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ. Galatians 3:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Have you experienced any miracles in your Christian walk?
The Bible verse above does not apply just to first century Christians but to all, down through the ages that have committed their lives to Jesus. That includes those of us today.
One miracle I experienced was when I prayed for a man dying of cancer and three days later he was completely purged of all of it on his death bed, got up and walked out of the hospital. When my friend informed me of it, I did not believe it but the Bible says that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective and this proved it.
We can be partakers of miracles today if we are willing to submit to Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) for blessing me with privildge of witnessing and experiencing Your miracles. I thank you in the name of Your most priceless miracle Jesus Christ. Amen
Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing

For he has rescued me from the kingdom of darkness and transferred me into the Kingdom of his dear Son,who purchased my freedom and forgave my sins. Colossians 1:13 – 14 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
I believe in the Lord my God, and I will be able to stand firm. 2 Chronicles 20:20 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Some words have been changed to first person so it is us personally that He is speaking to. This makes them far more effective and powerful.
The Holy Spirit is the best cleaner of all. When we daily surrender our dark thoughts to Him that satan places there, He will sweep them clean out of our heads and replace them with the sweet brilliant light of Jehovahs love.
When there is a battle in our mind and it seems as if the devil is going to win, call in the Holy Spirit. The demons run with sparks flying off their feet when the Holy Spirit enters into the fray.
When it appears as if satan is going to win the battle for my mind, I call upon the ultimate Warrior to come to my defense, The Holy Spirit. Satan and his lackeys run like their pants are on fire when He enters the ring. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Gador Milchamah (The Lord is Mighty in Battle Psalms 24:8 ) that You are the ultimate fighter and winner in the constant battle for my mind. I tremble to think of where it would go if not for Your protection. I exalt You in the name of the ultimate victorious Warrior King, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year.Joseph a son of JehovahThis article and photo @ 2020 Joseph a son of Jehovah. All rights reserved. Used only by permission of the author.
Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him. And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. The No matter what the situation leave it in Gods hands. Proverbs 3:5-6 The Holy Bible, The Amplified Version
Are you concerned about not having enough money at the end of the month, leave it in Gods hands (now He may suggest you stop wasting money in restaurants and start making your own coffee and start brown bagging it). When I was working I would make meals on my day off to last me the rest of the week. They were not all the same. You can get every creative with the Holy Spirit as your cooking guide as well.
Are you concerned about a health issue, leave it in Gods hands (now He may suggest you change your diet and start getting exercise). He did with me and boy do I ever feel much healthier.
Are you concerned about relationship problems, leave it in Gods hands (now He may suggest you get rid of those who are nothing but problems and are users and abusers in your life which may be hard but is best for you).
I leave it in Gods hands. He loves me, He always wants what is best for me and will work it out for my best interest. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ori (Psalms 27:1 The LORD My Light) that as I trust in You, You always light the proper way to go in very aspect of my life. I praise You in the deepest gratitude in the name of the light of the world, Jesus Christ. Amen

Lazy people are soon poor Proverbs 10:4 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
We are bombarded with feel good stories on the TV news of giving to help the poor, giving to help those with sicknesses and disease.
BUT, what is at the heart of the giver?
Do they genuinely give because of their concern or do they give to feel good and to be prideful on social media look at me, look at me. Or to brag to friends, family and co-workers? Do they participate to be a part of the crowd or because they are peer pressured to give?
Yes the Lord loves a cheerful giver BUT, we must first take it to Him in prayer where to give, how much to give and when to give. Then, we will be giving to please the Lord which is the only reason any Christian should give.
Give joyfully and thankfully to the Lord in abundance as a sacrifice of love and appreciation as He has given in abundance sometimes with great cost (like the cross) to you.
Give, but give to bring glory to Christ not to self Joseph a son of Jehovah
Why do you give?
Prayer:Thank you Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide) for blessing me with the tools and the opportunities to help those that are worthy of help. May these opportunities be a conduit to guide the needy into Your gracious loving arms. I praise You in the name of He who gave His blood for my redemption, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Matthew 19:26 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Oh my awesome majestic King, You constantly amaze me with Your supreme prowess.
There have been countless situations where I am at wits end and know not where to turn nor what to do in oh so many difficult circumstances in my service unto You.
Then, I upon my knees, with rivers of tears streaming down my weary cheeks in desperation I call out to You for Your gracious Divine providence.
Then, You compassionately softly answer my prayer, You extinguish the searing sun of frustration boiling in my brain. You either take control of the situation and bring about solutions to these contentious issues or situations or, You guide me on how to resolve them myself. Sometimes, You help me with the resolution or sometimes You have trust in my competency and allow me to resolve them myself when You have kindly supplied me with the wisdom and tools needed for victory.
No matter which method You use my Love, I know Your gentle but firm hand extinguishes the scorching flames with in my mind and replaces them with soft gentle assurance that the situation is under Your control and because You love me, it will always work out for my good.
I thank You in the name of He who always took good care of those under His care (His disciples), Jesus Christ. Amen
Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Thank you Jehovah Shalom (Judges 6:24 The LORD (our) Peace ) for blessing me with a good nights sleep and the gift of a new day filled with plenty of opportunities to bring You glory.
At the end of the day may my prayers be filled with praise for all the gifts great and small that You have given me. As a contented kitten may I lay my head to rest reflecting upon all of Your wonderful love You have shared with me this day.
In the name of my loving big brother that I walk with through out the day I humbly ask and give praise, Jesus Christ unto You my adoring Heavenly Father. Amen
May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah
