Jesus went up on a mountain and called out the ones he wanted to go with him. And they came to him. Mark 3:13 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament
The other day I heard a couple calling out for their beloved little dog. They walked the whole neighborhood looking for it- I do not know if the found it.
Jehovah spoke to me about how He calls out to us when we are lost.
The difference is that the owners of the dog did not know where it was and exhaustively looked for it. Jehovah knows where we are and calls out to us to bring us into His or back into His family if we have strayed.
Some stubbornly refuse to heed the call to their own peril both in this life and in their eternal one.
Jesus is calling, are you prepared to answer the call? Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Pyyrand (Jesus my best friend) for blessing me with calling out to me. It has blessed me with the most awesome friendship there could ever be. I exalt You in Your most fantastic name. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. Joshua 1:7 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Another way of putting this is to say: Be confident that Jesus has your back, victory is guaranteed. Then, do it.
That does not mean it will be easy but it does mean you will have victory.
Instead of obeying the instruction given by Moses change it to instructions given by the Holy Spirit. After all, He is the original Mr. Know it All because He knows it all. And, because He loves you and cares about you there is no other motive in His instructions than that which is for your own good.
“Because the indwelling Christ resides in us, God is literally establishing His rule in the world through us. As we say yes to God and live our lives in agreement with Him, He lives, rules, and reigns through us everywhere we go and in everything we do.” — David Edwards
Prayer : Thank you Jehovah Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) for blessing me with the awesome experience of always having Your presence with me all the way to the Heavenly Home You have prepared for me to enjoy communing with You with. Thank you for the wisdom on how to live a successful life. It is in You stunning name I praise You. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Respect everyone, and love the family of believers.1 Peter 2:17 Holy Bible New Living Translation
This is great relationship advice.
I’ve heard it said don’t go to bed while hanging on to sorrow, you may not have the chance to laugh with those you love tomorrow.
You may not mean the words you speak when anger takes its toll, you may regret your actions once you’ve lost your self control.
When you’ve lost your temper and you’ve said some hurtful things, think about the heartache that your actions sometime bring.
You’ll never get those moments back, such precious time to waste, and all because of things you said in anger and in haste.
So if you’re loving someone and your pride has settled in, you may not ever have the chance to say to them again…
“I love you and I miss you and although we don’t agree, I’ll try to see your point of view, please do the same for me.” Author Unknown
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4) – GOD My Helper for blessing me the Holy Spirit to help me through difficult situations with those around me with grace, wisdom and respect. I greatly exalt You in the name of He who was always gracious with those around Him, Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13 Holy Bible New Living Translation
At some point in everyones life we all ask the same question:” Why am I here?”
Now you do not build a car to drive on rail road tracks do you?
Why?
Because it was not built to travel on rail road track but on roads that is why.
So many folks waste their lives going out and trying to drive their cars (lives) on railroad tracks and then wonder why their lives have no meaning.
Jesus Christ is our King.As such, He has specif planned for our lives. We can only find fulfillment in life when we stop trying to find meaning in life by following what we want to do and we start doing what Christ designed for us to do.
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 Holy Bible New Living Translation
So, get off of the railroad tracks and get on the Road to Heaven Christ has chosen for you to travel on.
“God left you on earth for a purpose. Do it.” Unknown
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Bara (The Lord Creator) for creating me for a unique purpose in service to You.Please guide me to fulfill Your purpose in my life, which blesses me with meaning in my life. I meekly request this in the name of He who followed Your purpose for Him on earth all the way to the cross Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in [union with] Him [reflecting His character in the things you do and say—living lives that lead others away from sin],having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude. Colossians 2:6-7 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Do you walk in union with Christ every day?
Now how you gonna do that?
For me it begins with morning prayer and Bible reading. I begin by saying a prayer of thank you which then proceeds with a prayer for Divine providential care and guidance for myself and for others. Yes it is just as important for you to have a prayer list where you pray for brothers and sisters as well as for yourself. Yes make it personal and for me it becomes even more sincere when I include those that require the same assistance as I.
Prayer is having a respectful loving conversation every day with our most cherished lovers ( Jehovah , Jesus and the Holy Spirit ). Joseph- Anthony: Green
Next comes my spiritual breakfast. I have daily devotions sent to my inbox and read them like I would eat a physical meal ( sometimes , I must confess to fast to digest just like a rushed meal. I find the meal is not enjoyed in that manner). When my Holy Teacher speaks to me through these I stop reading and talk it through with Him ( which means shutting up and listening. How many of us are so busy talking there is no time for listening? ) There is always a pen and paper handy to write down what is being said to contemplate it later and discuss it later if there is too much to digest at that time.
The Bible is the Best Spiritual food every Christian needs to feast upon every day. Joseph- Anthony: Green
When we do this we naturally reflect Christs character by default. We are not even aware of it most times. I joyfully thank my Beloved every night before closing my eyes in a peaceful sleep after giving thanks for all His amazing blessings showered upon me during the course of the day.
Prayer is the best medicine for insomnia. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: I thank you Jehovah-Bara (The Lord Creator) for being so patient and encouraging in the process of creating this wicked filthy lost soul into a pure beautiful child of Your. I exalt You in the name of He whose blood created this blessing Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
God who gives endurance and who supplies encouragement. Romans 15:5 Holy Bible Amplified Version
In many group sports they have cheerleaders. Their purpose is to encourage the team, especially when they are down in the score.
The best cheerleader for life of course is The Holy Spirit.
He provides us with physical, mental and spiritual endurance for the race Jehovah has chosen for us to run. He has various methods to accomplish this from the Holy Bible , to preachers to fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
It is when we are at our lowest that we appreciate the most Jehovahs helping hand. Joseph- Anthony: Green
The same can be said for encouragement.
I cannot count the number of times I was ready to quit and then someone came and blessed me with encouraging words and help to see me through the tough times. I cannot count the number of times when a preacher sounded as if he was speaking directly to me from Jehovah that it lifted me up and strengthen me to carry on with zest. This is repeated through music as well as just spending quiet time with Him.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ezer (The LORD our Helper) for blessing me with the many wonderful ways You have encouraged me when I was ready to give up. Thank you for helping me regain my strength to carry on Your Holy path You have chosen for me to travel down. I exalt You in the name of He who encouraged His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Cast your burden on the Lord [release it] and He will sustain and uphold you. Psalm 55:22 Holy Bible Amplified Version
We all encounter problems in our lives.
Too many of us falsely believe that we are weak if we cannot solve these challenges on our own ( especially men ).
Indeed in many countries it is considered a shame and disgrace to even admit you have a problem.
It is too heavy for you to carry on your own shoulders. That is where we Christians are blessed with an advantage over those of the world.
How many folks go to a psychiatrist with their problems only to be prescribed drugs , which of course only makes the problem worse. Look at all those who commit hienious offenses like mass murderers only to find out they were diagnosed with mental problems and were only given drugs. I have seen it numerous times in big cites.
How many go to psychiatrists only to be told it is not your fault but societies or your families while being absolved of their responsibility?
To sustain means to give support as does uphold.
The best councilor to go to is of course Jehovah. He is all wise and will help you the best and support you though the difficult experience. That will probably mean He will guide you to Christian councilors.
I have been blessed with this guidance and it was the most beneficial to me.
When you encounter problems in your life and we all will continually experience these plagues until Christ takes us to our Heavenly home ,you have a choice ; one try to deal with it on your own , good luck with that one two go to those in the world with limited knowledge , which usually is useless from those I have seen go that route or go to the best source form wisdom ,strength and healing Jehovah God Almighty. That is the most successful route I have taken as well as many others I have encountered.
Jehovah or the world choose wisely. Your life depends upon it. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you YAHWEH- Ropheka :“The Lord Who Healsfor blessing me with Your gently loving healing whenever I encounter any and all problems in my life whether it be through Your Divine will or whether it be through Your Divine providence to Christian guidance councilors and others that will assist me. I extol Thee in the name of the best Healer of them all 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.
Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you restless and disturbed within me?
Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him. Psalm 42:5 Holy Bible Amplified Version
Despair is the state of being discouraged.
Is your head hurting from walking into walls ? You know the feeling , like no matter what you try it is like walking into a wall. You are pounding the pavement looking for employment yet it seems as if every door is closed. You have tried all kinds of different medical treatment yet your ailment is getting worse. Of course there is the wonderful experience of raising teenagers and they refuse to listen to you ( that has been going on for eons. ) .
The list could continue for a long time couldn’t it ?
To hope for something is to believe in the future occurrence of (something).
We are children of the Supreme God , children. Take hope that He loves you and because He loves you He will come to your aid in Him time in His way. His answer may not be what you desire however He is far more wiser than you. As a consequence He knows what is best for you far better that you do.
I know, there have been many times when I desired something in my life and passionately prayed for our Beloveds blessing to have it come to fruition. He did not. At the time I was bitterly disappointed. In reflection I see the wise providence of His hand that if He had of granted me my desire it would have been a disaster.
On the other hand there have been event that I fervently prayed for every day for decades. Finally He blessed me that they blossomed into reality. Again I understand why it took Him so long to grant my request and am joyously grateful for His blessings.
“Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.” – Henry Ward Beecher
Prayer : Thank you Jehovah-Jireh (God is our Provider) for Your Divine abundant assistance throughout my life. I thank you that You refused some requests that would have led to certain disaster and for answering those that bring about joyous events that will glorify You. I exuberantly praise You in the name He whose sacrifice answered my call for salvation Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] John 14 27 Holy Bible Amplified Version
It amazes me when I reflect back on my times of trouble and see the Holy Spirits awesome hand silently at work through it even though it did not feel as if He even cared much less was there . We have been through financial drought , fire of sickness, anguish of losing a loved one so very close to my heart , the strength for battle when the forces against me out numbered me and out powered me .
In every circumstance Jesus is there even though many times it does not feel like it. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Oh cherished beloved child of Jehovah take hold of this promise and clasp it close to your precious heart , especially when it feels as if He is not there , during the raging storms and tempestuous fire storms that rage in your difficulties.
Do you truly believe that Christ would suffer that beating and the agony of hanging on the cross for six long tortuous hours while His precious blood ran down His Divine body because His love for you yet desert you in you time of need ?
Nay, say I , how foolish would that be ?
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Uzam ( The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with Your Divine strength and provision in my numerous time of trials and tribulations , sorrow and snares. I praise You in the name of He who calmed the storms for His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
