Jesus Christ is all-sufficient to meet our every need, but if He is going to meet our needs we must be willing to recognize our needs and call upon Him. There must be a turning to Him for help. He can supply every spiritual need we face in life if we respond to His abiding presence.
At the feeding of the five thousand Jesus provided food in abundance, and it is always that way with God (Matt. 14:15-21; Mk. 6:33-44; Lk. 9:12-17; Jn. 6:1-15). The interesting thing is Jesus initiated the feeding of the people. He knew in advance that He was going to meet their need. He was interested in their welfare. He was able to do it.
What is your attitude toward being fed by God? Do you feed upon Him?
God never ceases granting our petitions until we cease asking. True, He does not always answer the way we would choose, but it is always with our very best in His mind. I thank God that He has not always granted my requests from my selfish, ignorant perspective. He often says no, in order to give me His very best.
Jesus is ever coming to bankrupt sinners and placing His hand on the bank draft of heaven and says to us, “Write on it what you need.”
We have so little faith in things unseen and eternal. We draw so little on the resources of our heavenly Intercessor. “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.”
Have you humbly asked God to supply your needs from His all-sufficiency? He is able. Jesus tells us He is always willing to fill our empty buckets.
The wise person recognizes his need and asks God to meet every need as it arises.
God has not forgotten where you are. He is fully aware of your need and He is vitally concerned about your Christian life. He will supply all your need according to His abundant resources in accordance with His eternal purpose.
How do the circumstances of your life fit into His will? Is He not committed to your very best? Does He not see the full span of your life and your current life situation?
Has God forgotten you? Indeed not.
He does not base His giving on our merits, yet He invites us to come to Him again and again. His abundant supply never runs out.
“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).Selah!

Have you ever wondered what Jesus felt like while He was hanging on the cross?
I tried hanging on a set of monkey bars with my feet suspended. Did it ever hurt after just a few minutes.
Will you dare to hang on the monkey bars to experience what Jesus endured for you?
Just think, Jesus hung like that on a cross because He loves us for six hours.
It does not matter what you did in your past. It does not matter how bad you were. It does not matter if you are young or old. It does not matter if you are rich or poor. It does not matter your nationality.
Jesus loves us all so much He suffered that most horrible death so that we can enjoy the most loving relationship with our God in Heaven.
“Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” Anna Bartlett Warner
Prayer: Thank you our beloved Jesus for the tremendous sacrifice you paid so that we have the privilege of enjoying the most wonderful love affair there ever was, is or will be. I give thanks in Your treasured name. Amen.

There was a woman in Europe that set out on a ninety mile trip to pick up a friend at a train station. She set her GPS for directions to the train station. Three days later and many countries later she stopped a figured out she was lost. When asked why it took so long to figure out she was lost her reply was she was not paying attention. She was paying more attention to the scenery than listening to the GPS.
How about us?
Do we look around and see all the fun the “In crowd” is having and take their advice to join them in their drinking and partying and where do we end up?
With hangovers, empty pockets and in bed with someone we don’t even know.
Could that not lead us to addictions and diseases?
Could that not destroy our lives?
There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12. New International Version
Where as, if we listen and follow to the advice in the Bible we will avoid these problems.
Oh sure we will look like geeks to the in crowd, but in the long run we have a loving relationship with Christ which far out shines anything the in crowd can offer. It may seem crazy to your friends and family but it will be smiled upon by our Heavenly loving wise Father.
The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things John 14:26 New International Version
Thank you Poppa for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to be my Guidance Councillor. He is the best. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender. Psalms 18:2 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
When we walk close with Christ He will send us The Holy Spirit to guide and protect us.
Do you need strength? Peace? Wisdom? Direction? Discipline? Ask for it! God will hear you and send you His helper, The Holy Spirit Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
There have been so many times The Holy Spirit has guided me away form disasters and from con men and women.
There has been so many times I thought my way was the better way and argued with The Holy Spirit because I thought He was wrong. Against my mind saying ignore His advice I obeyed and boy was I ever glad I did.
When we walk in obedience with The Holy Spirit , He will shield us from the arrows that the wicked fire at us ( words said to upset us because they think it is funny ) and many times He will guide us with words that pierce the wicked like a flaming arrow or words that convict them and it is like burning coals upon their perverted minds. They become insane and start yelling and screaming like someone who is insane.
There are so many times we are exhausted, confused and afraid.
The Holy Spirit blesses us with strength, and confidence to continue on to victory ( I find it is when we are the closest to victory that satan comes at us the hardest to cause us to fail ).
There has been so many times when it seems as if there are more of them than me and they have more power than me. Then, events happen that destroys them that cannot be explained. That is the hand of The Holy Spirit defending us ( boy have I ever experienced a lot of those ).
Obey The Holy Spirit even when it does not make sense. You will always be glad you did. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh ( God provides Philippians 4:19 ) for blessing me with providing me with The Holy Spirit to guide me, comfort me, encourage me and strengthen me. He is the best. I praise You in the name of He whose precious blood made this possible Jesus Christ. Amen

By your power you save those who trust you from their enemies. Psalms 17:7 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
Although the wicked may make your life a living Hell or may cause physical, mental and or financial grief they cannot destroy those who walk with Christ.
Indeed because of their abuse they make us much more wealthier. We become wealthier spiritually and mentally which no one can take from us. We become richer in our relationship with Christ.
We all suffer but those of us who suffer for Christ become the richest of all. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
In my life there has been so many times the wicked have sought my destruction. For a while it looks as if they are succeeding. They mock me and Jesus saying where is your Christ to protect you now Christian ( I have heard that one oh so many times ) ?
But then, the hand of Christ strikes back at them.
They face a humiliating painful destruction from which they never recover.
I, on the other hand, am healed and rewarded for being loyal through the tribulation. It does not have to monumental but it is always given.
Of course the greatest reward is hearing Jesus say well done good and faithful servant. I am walking on clouds when that happens and it makes all the suffering pale in comparison.
And, in the end, those who trust Christ always live their final years out in comfort and security. I have seen it so many times.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Almakafi ( the lord our rewarder Hebrews 11:6 ) for the confidence that my suffering for You will be rewarded in this life and a hundred times more in Heaven. I praise You in the name of He who suffered so much for me to have this reward, Jesus Christ. Amen

“We must suffer many things to enter God’s kingdom.” Acts 14:22 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
After accepting Jesus as your Saviour, best friend and King, satan will do everything he can to destroy this relationship.
He knows you and so he know your weaknesses.
He will entice you to sin and then condemn you and say Jesus hates you because of the sin.
He will try to cause you to doubt the authenticity of the Bible and that it is not Gods word but made up by man.
He will cause you to doubt that Jesus loves you, Jesus cares about you.
He will cause you to doubt about His protection and provision.
We are in a true holy war when we become Christians.
A man and womans character is strengthen and matured through adversity. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Our ace in the hole though is The Holy Spirit.
When you repent He will reassure you of your forgiveness. He will guide you and supply all of your need. He comforts you, encourages you, teaches you and guides you into an ever deeper loving relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and Himself.
Satan cannot and will never beat The Holy Spirit.
The closer you get to Jesus, the more you are going to suffer. The more you suffer, the closer you get to Jesus. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) that You bless me with The Holy Spirit to help me endure the suffering that always comes because of Being Your child. Thank you that You are able to reward me a hundred times more than the suffering. I praise You in the name of He who suffered for me on the cross, Jesus Christ. Amen

But the wicked are filled with terror,because God is with those who do what is right. Psalms 14:5 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
When the wicked abuse the righteous they laugh when warned of Jesus’ vengeance that will come hurling down upon them with disastrous, destructive force. They laugh and dare Jesus’ to come and get them.
Then, Christ strikes fast, hard and with no warning. In a short time the wicked ones behaviour is changed from one of arrogant contemptuousness to one of pure terror.
This is in done in public not only to humiliate the arrogant proud ones but also as a warning to those who witness it.
The wicked laugh now but weep in agony later for their vile deeds. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Christ Hashopet (Judges 11:27 The LORD the Judge 0 for being the Supreme Judge of Righteousness. Thank you that the arrogant who abuse others with seeming impunity shall receive their just due in Your Imperial Court. I praise You in Your Righteous name. Amen

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

But if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favourites. Colossians 3:25 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
Let this be a warning to big pharma ex, government leaders, doctors and police officers all over the world.
You are working on a plan to enslave us which is pure evil. It will fail as those before you have failed.
Look it up in history books all the previous perverted egotistic that tried what you are attempting now to see your fate. It is doomed to crash and burn on your heads.
You may think you are demi gods but you are going to meet the real almighty God and Supreme Judge. Your punishment shall be severe.
There will be no plea bargaining. There will be no parole.
You will suffer seven times worse the agony you have thrust upon innocent millions.
When the time of your punishment is complete you will be hurled into the darkest bowels of Hell to be tormented for eternity for your immoral behaviour.
Being old now I see it replayed so many times with those I grew up with.
In their younger years the wicked think they are invincible and can get away with everything. But, the time will come and it will come quickly when they face Divine punishment and there shall be no mercy shown to them. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Christ El Nekamoth (Psalms 18:47 GOD that Avengeth ) that You will avenge all the innocent who have suffered because of the evil parasites that caused it just for their filthy greed and pride. Thank you that they shall suffer seven times worse than they gave for eternity in Hell, where they belong. I praise You in Your Righteous name. Amen

As you do, look at what is happening in your own country’s history.
You will see it in these verses and see what is happening right now in your own country.
We have sinned just as our ancestors did. We have done wrong; we have done evil. Our ancestors in Egypt did not learn from your miracles. They did not remember all your kindnesses, so they turned against you at the Red Sea.
But the Lord saved them for his own sake, to show his great power. He commanded the Red Sea, and it dried up. He led them through the deep sea as if it were a desert. He saved them from those who hated them. He saved them from their enemies, and the water covered their foes. Not one of them escaped.
Then the people believed what the Lord said, and they sang praises to him.
But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his advice. They became greedy for food in the desert,and they tested God there.
So he gave them what they wanted, but he also sent a terrible disease among them.
The people in the camp were jealous of Moses and of Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord. Then the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and closed over Abiram’s group. A fire burned among their followers, and flames burned up the wicked.The people made a gold calf at Mount Sinai and worshipped a metal statue. They exchanged their glorious God for a statue of a bull that eats grass. They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, who had done miracles in Egypt and amazing things by the Red Sea.
So God said he would destroy them.
But Moses, his chosen one, stood before him and stopped God’s anger from destroying them.
Then they refused to go into the beautiful land of Canaan; they did not believe what God promised. They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the Lord. So he swore to them that they would die in the desert. He said their children would be killed by other nations and that they would be scattered among other countries.They joined in worshipping Baal at Peor and ate meat that had been sacrificed to lifeless statues. They made the Lord angry by what they did, so many people became sick with a terrible disease.
But Phinehas prayed to the Lord, and the disease stopped. Phinehas did what was right, and it will be remembered from now on.
The people also made the Lord angry at Meribah, and Moses was in trouble because of them. The people turned against the Spirit of God, so Moses spoke without stopping to think.The people did not destroy the other nations as the Lord had told them to do. Instead, they mixed with the other nations and learned their customs. They worshipped other nations’ idols and were trapped by them. They even killed their sons and daughters as sacrifices to demons. They killed innocent people, their own sons and daughters, as sacrifices to the idols of Canaan. So the land was made unholy by their blood. The people became unholy by their sins; they were unfaithful to God in what they did.
So the Lord became angry with his people and hated his own children. He handed them over to other nations and let their enemies rule over them. Their enemies were cruel to them and kept them under their power.
The Lord saved his people many times, but they continued to turn against him. So they became even more wicked. Psalms 106: 6- 43 The Holy Bible The New Century Version
I have met many Christians upon seeing what is happening around the world are crying like Chicken Little that the sky is falling, only to the Christians they are saying it is the end of times.
I say ; “ Relax.” Just look in the Book of Judges and you will see a cycle.
A society bands together and becomes prosperous because of Jehovahs blessings.
Then, they become wealthy and turn their back on Him, become greedy and perverted.
He warns them of His Divine judgment but they refuse to listen.
He brings judgment upon them.
We see this all through out history in every region of the world in every one hundred year cycles.
We are now in the cycle where most of the societies in the world has turned their backs upon Jesus.
He says:” Fine, now pay the price.”
Because you belong to Christ you will not suffer the punishment.
Times will be tough but He is right there beside us all the way. Those that refuse to take heed of Jehovahs warning do pay the price. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Oh Jesus Christ El Gemuwal (Jeremiah 51:56 The LORD GOD of Recompenses ) I am sure it breaks Your heart much more than it does mine to see the world become a cesspool of sin and debauchery. I am sure it pierces Your heart with great sorrow to see them mock you and ignore Your warnings. I am sure it wounds You deeply to have to administer justice to them but it must be done. I wish I could comfort You my love. I pray my love and dedication unto You bring rays of sunshine into Your broken heart. It is in Your precious name I pray. Amen
