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

As you help us by your prayers. 2 Corinthians 1:11 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Some folks mistakenly think that praying for others does not do any good.
They do so. I can recall numerous times when my prayer for others was answered in miraculous ways (and yes, they were miracles).
You need not look far to see folks that need a prayer. Ask them if you can pray for them and what their prayer request is. Then write it down. Keep in touch at least once a week. Let them know you are continuing to pray for them and see if there is anything else you can do for them (Jehovah will usually provide you with resources to help them and even if He does not the request often encourages them as much as the prayer).
Praying for others every day is an important intricate part of every Christians prayer. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Holy Spirit Shammah ( The Lord is Present) Hebrews 13:5 always be present during my intersession for other saints and guide me to those who need me to be their prayer warrior. I humbly request this in the name of He who taught me how to pray for others 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
P. T. Forsythe said, “The purpose of life is not to find your freedom. The purpose of life is to find your Master.”
Jesus is the best master
“He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.” Psalm 23:3 New International Version
I choose not to choose my own path, but to follow the Holy Spirits guidance. Yes we should take it to God in prayer and honest Bible study before making a career choice.
This should be our Christian motto: “I choose not to choose.”
“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure and full of quiet gentleness. Then it is peace-loving and courteous. It allows discussion and is willing to yield to others; it is full of mercy and good deeds. It is wholehearted and straightforward and sincere”James 3:17 The Holy Bible King James Version
Take it to Jehovah for all of our life’s decisions. Whether it be a school to attend, a course to take a life mate or an investment.
“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass” (Psalms. 37:5).The Holy Bible King James Version
Whatever, I believe in doing as the Jews do. Before making any decisions always take it to Jehovah in prayer for three days. See what the results may be. You may not like them in the short run. But, over time it may be revealed to you just how horrible a mistake you could have made if you went with what you thought was right .
“He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” (Psalm 25:9 The Holy Bible New International Version)
Independence is opening the door to allow satan into your life. We all know of course he is the master of destruction. Only a fool believes they are independent. They are easy prey for satan.
“All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own” (Isaiah 53:6a The Holy Bible New Living Translation).
We therefore, have two choices in life: 1) Choose to allow the loving Father to guide our choices or
2) Let the destroyer and torturer (satan) make the choice by tricking us into believing it is our own choice.
“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” Proverbs 14:12 (The Holy Bible New International Version).
I choose to let Jehovah choose, it is the smartest choice I have ever made.Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah for blessing me with sending the Holy Spirit El Deah (God of knowledge) to guide me through out the challenging discourse of life. May I always listen , understand and obey His wise guidance. I exalt You and humbly request this in the name of He who is the wisest of all 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
The mouth of an immoral woman is a dangerous trap; those who make the Lord angry will fall into it. Proverbs 22:14 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
I have noticed that immoral folks are demanding ungrateful creatures. They only call you when they want something and never help you in return.
Perhaps that is Jehovahs manner in which He delivers justice to those who anger Him.
The way to anger Jehovah is to be selfish, self centered and cold hearted.
Be careful of how you treat others because Jehovah will allow someone worse to come into your life and give you back seven times worse than what you gave another. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves. The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads. Psalms 7:14-16The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
The Lord is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Psalm 9:16 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
Prayer: Please Jehovah Ghmolah (The God of Recompense) bless me to live a life of integrity, compassion and respect. I have a deep desire to imitate my Beloved best friend Jesus Christ. I humbly request this in His amazing name. Amen.
May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ. Photo and article @ Joseph a son of Jehovah 2019
Weeping may last through the night but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
When we are sad, discouraged and or heavy burdened it seems as if clouds of darkness envelope us in the darkest of darkness.
Yet, when the Lord come to help us, encourage us and lifts that burden from our shoulders when we surrender to them, the dark clouds dissipate and flutter away. They are replaced with the sunshine of Jehovahs love and joy which make our hearts dance with delight and praise.
“The greater my knowledge of the goodness and grace of God on my life, the more likely I am to praise Him in the storm.” Matt Chandler
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) Judges 6:12 for blessing me with Your encouragement, strength, comfort and guidance not just in the dark days but in all my days. Thank is one of the greatest blessings there can ever be. I exalt You in the name of my most cherished blessing Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.
The godly can look forward to a reward, while the wicked can expect only judgment. Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you! Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring. Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise. The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends. If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, what will happen to wicked sinners? Proverbs 11:23-31 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
One day while volunteering with a Christian organization delivering furniture to the needy we delivered furniture to welfare bums. They were so lazy they refused to even carry the free blankets used to keep them warm. They were ungrateful.
But, you know what else they were?
Very sad and ashamed .
It was because they knew their lifestyle was wrong not because of us.
We were respectful and friendly with them. Listening to them talk amongst themselves we hear them constantly brag about themselves while drinking and smoking cigarettes.
This is vanity and it comes from a selfish heart.
But the sad thing is that: When you surround yourself with yourself you end up with nobody but yourself. That is a very lonely place to be. Joseph a son of Jehovah
They were living a destructive lifestyle and it was only destroying themselves.
For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. 2 Corinthians 5:10 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Later we did deliver furniture to low income folks who were very grateful so it more than evened out for being a rewarding day knowing that we helped the truly needy.
And, because we are Christians and those we helped were not, we gave glory to Jesus and by His grace used this as a conduit to guide them to Him.
And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God. Hebrews 13:16The Holy Bible New Living Translation
There is a difference between those in need and those who are too lazy to support themselves. Supporting the later is a waste of the resources Jehovah has given you to help those who are truly in need. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah El Deah (God of knowledge) bless me with the knowledge of discernment on how to share with those in need and not those who are lazy and ungrateful. I sincerely request this in the name of the wisest of all Jesus Christ. Amen

So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, just as the Lord had said. Deuteronomy 34:5 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus. Luke 9:30 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
Moses and Elijah appeared in physical form. To me this proves we will have physical bodies when we are in Heaven (which will be on earth.
The Bible says that Heaven comes down to earth where we will dwell with Jesus not that we will go up there). We will not be just sitting idly by on clouds in the sky. We will have physical bodies and we will each be assigned a specif task which will bring fulfillment and great delight to us in our God given field. Salutation
The one thing I look forward to the most upon reaching Heavens Gate is sharing the biggest hug with He with whom I adore the most, Jesus Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bara (The Lord Creator) Isaiah 40:28 for blessing me with a physical body in which to preform physical acts of devotion unto You in our Heavenly home You have so graciously prepared for me. It is in the name of He whose arms shall be there to welcome me home, Jesus Christ, I praise You. 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.
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
When we accept Jesus not just as our Savior but as our King we are members of an exclusive organization.
We are excluded from judgement because even though we mess up (as we all do) when we repent (which means admitting what we did, admitting it was wrong, asking for forgiveness and stop committing the offense we are forgiven) we repent unto our King and Heavenly Father because we know our short comings hurt them. Because we love and respect them when we do something that hurts their heart, it hurts ours as well. That is why we repent.
That is why there is no condemnation for us, because we repent. Because we love Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit when we grieve them it grieves us. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Go’el (The Lord is my Redeemer) – Is. 49:26, 60:16 for blessing me with redemption through Your precious blood. Please Holy Spirit bless me to always walk in accordance with Your Holy will so as to always bring joy to those with whom I love and adore most: Jehovah, Jesus and You. It is in the name of my most Beloved best friend I ask Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus," Ephesians 2:4-6
