How Much Less Will We

 See to it that you do not refuse [to listen to] Him who is speaking [to you now]. For if those [sons of Israel] did not escape when they refused [to listen to] him who warned them on earth [revealing God’s will], how much less will we escape if we turn our backs on Him who warns from heaven? Hebrews 12:25 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Be fair warned. Just as Jehovah gave ample warning to the Israelites before the hammer came down on them hard so too does He warn us. You ignore Him at your own peril.

Now I do not believe Jehovah will curse you with plagues however what He does is just tell you: “Okay, you refuse to listen to me and stubbornly insist on going your own ways, fine. I will just step back and allow you to reap the rewards of your destructive lifestyle.” Then you will suffer like you have never suffered before. In your suffering you will cry out unto Him to deliver you from these catastrophes but just as you turned your back on Him and refused to listen to Him, so too does He turn His back on you and refuse to listen to you.

Now if you repent with sincerity (repent means you admit what you did, admit it was wrong, ask for forgiveness and stop doing it), He is loving and will forgive you. You must however still pay the price for your wicked ways. So say you murdered someone and are on death row. He will not deliver you from the execution but when you die you will not face His eternal judgment for that crime when you sincerely repent.

I have seen it so much in my life.

Some folks when they were young they laughed and thought they were getting away with it but they paid a very heavy price for their sins in their elder years. It aches the heart to watch to happen to those you know but they are harvesting what they planted. 

Turn your back on Jehovah and He will turn His back on you. Joseph a son of Jehovah

 Prayer: I pray my Beloved Jehovah Ghmolah (The God of Recompense) that I may never be idiotic enough to turn my back on You. I have witnessed the terrible consequences of such foolishness and it fills me with terror. As well my love, our loving relationship is the most priceless treasure You have blessed me with and I would be left in a spiritual lonely desert if I was ever that stupid to turn my back on You. I sincerely request this in the name of the light that guides me into an ever deeper sphere of Divine love with You 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.  

Lived Out in Me.

 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith [our ability to confidently trust in God and in His power].”Luke 17:5 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

There is a reason we need to humbly request the Lord to increase our faith.

The number one reason is because as we increase our faith (which means trust) in our Beloved we get to know Him ,love Him and worship Him more and more thereby getting ever closer to Him.

The number two reason is that when our faith increases so too does our confidence in the Lord whenever satan comes a knocking. Having confidence in the Lord terrifies satan and his minions. Number three is because when others observe our faith it is a great witness to the power of Christ. This is a powerful witnessing tool.

Show me the way, Lord, let my light shine As an example of good to mankind; Help them to see the patterns of Thee, Shining in beauty, lived out in me. —Neuer

Mind you, we cannot increase our faith without suffering but in the aftermath of our sufferings we are every deeper in gratitude for Jehovahs loving providence. This brings us closer to Him not just on special occasion but in beautiful daily communion with Him. What a blessing that is.

“God delights to increase the faith of his children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God’s hands as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.” — George Müller

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful) for being faithful unto this loving child of Yours that You have delivered the right amount of trials and tribulations, sorrows and pain to bring me ever closer to You in faith, understanding and love. I exalt You in the name of He who suffered these in extremes all the to and including the cross for me Jesus Christ. Amen.

Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today.

One Bad Night At

 And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus Ephesians 2:6 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Have you ever spent the night in a dive motel?

I have and boy it was a nightmare. When I was a tree planter we would sleep in tents six nights a week in the forest and come to town one night. That was our shift. When the university kids got a room all’s they did was have loud drunken parities and trash the rooms. There was no sleep that night and it seemed as if the night would never end. The next week I went to a motel that refused to accept tree planters. When it was explained to them all’s that was wanted was a quiet room for me to sleep in, they took a gamble and gave me a room. I did not let them down and enjoyed a fantastic nights sleep.

So too will it be when we are in Heaven.

The life we suffer here will seem like but a quick moment in time compared to the unimaginable love, joy and peace we will be blessed with as we continuously commune with Jesus and each other.

“From heaven even the most miserable life will look like one bad night at an inconvenient hotel.” — Teresa of Avila

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us) for blessing me with the promise that when I depart this groaning earth I shall be in loving communion with You for an eternity. That magnificent experience there shall make all the worst living nightmares here on earth seem like just a bad nights dream to awaken to a wonderful world with You. I praise You in the name of He with who I relish walking and talking with throughout eternity Jesus Christ. Amen

May Christ bless you with love, joy and peace.

This is Especially Relevant as Our Time Of.

 “Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, For the Lord God is my strength and song; Yes, He has become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

This is especially relevant as our time of death comes nigh. The devil will come especially strong as the time to depart closes nigh. He will softly whisper subtle doubts in our minds if what we have lived for, sacrificed for and suffered for is real or is it really just a fairy tale.

At this time the Holy Spirit will come to our aid. He shall reminisce with us all the times Jehovah has preformed amazing feats both in our lives and through our lives. He shall remind us of the danger Jehovah walked us through. The times of trial and temptation when His strength guided us through this blazing fire. He shall remind us of Jehovahs gentle love that healed us of the deep slashes inflicted upon our hearts. He shall remind us of the amazing times of communion with Jehovah when every molecule in our bodies screamed with explosive love and joy. That this time that experience will last an eternity.

At this time we shall be filled with complete confidence in Jehovah and His promises unto us.

With our dying lips we shall thank Jehovah for the privilege of serving Him while in this fleshly body and hold out our weak trembling arms to embraced by our loving Heavenly Father as He joyfully welcomes us to the Heavenly home He has prepared for you, His child He loves so dearly.

Just as Jehovah guides our walk here on earth, so too shall He guide us to our Heavenly home and into His loving arms. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) for blessing Your darling children with reassurance that at the moment the breath of life in our fleshly bodies is extinguished you shall assign an angel to be instantaneously in the eternal presence of the the one who loves us as His most precious treasure, You. I exalt You in the name of my best friend with whom I yearn to spend an eternity walking with and talking with 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 Fools Laugh.

 “I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless” (Malachi 3:5). The Holy Bible Amplified Version

The sorcerers pretend they have power equal to or superior to Jehovah and use to to fleece the weak minded out of their money. They may get away with it for a while but Jehovah is a God of justice and will strike them swiftly with no warning and show no mercy towards them.

The adulterers stupidly believe they will not get caught nor become infected with sexual diseases like syphilis or aids. If they do they do not care if they infect their mates. They are playing a fools game and Jehovah is a God of justice and will strike them swiftly with no warning and show no mercy towards them.

There are those who will swear that lies are the truth to cover up for their lies or lies of their family or friends to escape punishment. They do not care if innocent ones go to jail or have their lives destroyed. Jehovah is a God of justice and will strike them swiftly with no warning and show no mercy towards them. The end result will be their lives are demolished and their will be no remedy for the pain they shall suffer.

There are many employers that cheat their workers out of their wages and laugh because they are getting away with it. They are living a fools dream. Jehovah is a God of justice and will strike them swiftly with no warning and show no mercy towards them. They will be left with nothing and end up living in the gutter where they belong.

There are many children that constantly cheat their parents out of money even when they are widows or widowers so they can live a life of luxury while their mom or dads do without. Jehovah is a God of justice and will strike them swiftly with no warning and show no mercy towards them. When their parents dies there will be nobody for them to free load off of and they will lose everything. I cannot speak for orphans because I have not seen it.

Oh the extreme wailing that occurs when Jehovahs strong merciless hand comes crushing down on the wicked and they pay for their vile deeds. When the wicked rip the innocent off the fools laugh because they foolishly believe they are getting away with it. They are living in a fools dream which will suddenly turn into an unimaginable Hell both here on earth and for an eternity in Hell. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohay Mishpat (the God of Justice!) for delivering appropriate justice in Your time, in Your manner. It is reassuring to know that justice will be done by Your hands even though it appears as though the wicked are going unpunished. I exalt You in the name of the Supreme Judge 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

Will Guide Them

 The integrity and moral courage of the upright will guide them, But the crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them. Proverbs 11:3 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

I have experienced in my own personal life the benefits of having Godly integrity. Integrity means adherence to moral and ethical principals and being honest. The best place to learn and incorporate integrity is in the Bible under the tutorship of the Holy Spirit. He has never led me wrong.

Yes many times it seemed as if I was standing alone against an overwhelming strong number but stood my ground.

I may not have gained physically but certainly gained tremendously in my relationship with my Heavenly Beloved (which is all that matters to me).

Yes most times it took courage but it also took the power of the Holy Spirit to help me have the strength and fortitude to stand upon the rock of righteousness when all was against me. We have all heard the saying:short term pain for long time gain.

As well I have witnessed the opposite. Short term gain for long time loss. I have witnessed many treacherous folks take unscrupulous means to get gain only to lose it all and suffer worse than when they began when the time of righteousness comes a calling.

I take the high ground because it ultimately leads to Heaven. All others lead to Hell. Joseph a son of Jehovah.

Prayer:Thank you Jehovah-Tsidkenu (The Lord is Righteousness) for blessing me with Your wise tutorship to learn and incorporate into my life Your Divine integrity. It has blessed me with avoiding much pain and sorrow in my life and has brought me ever closer to You as You continue to instruct me in the path of righteousness. I exalt You in the name of He who always walked in righteousness Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Shall Come Upon Them Like a Flash

 And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf?  I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. Luke 18:7-8 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

There was a popular show in the seventies where the main character would say : “God will get you for that” when they said or did something bad. Even though it was said as a punch line for a laugh at the time, truer words were never said. Oh, the wicked may seem as if they are getting away with it and indeed even profiting by it when they scheme and scam others or perpetrate any other type of abuse , but Jehovahs justice shall come upon them like a flash and power of a lightening bolt.

It may take decades for Jehovahs fury to be inflicted upon the perpetrators, but that is because He is giving them time to repent, but they shall indeed suffer Jehovahs true vengeance when He tires of their wickedness.

Yes we are to pray for those who have wronged us to come unto repentance when they have wronged us.                                                                                                                    

But, yes we as Christians have every right to call out onto Jehovah for vengeance when we have been wronged and then trust Jehovah to deliver true justice unto them when they are unrepentant. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: I humbly plead with You oh Jehovah Ghmolah (The God of Recompense. The God of vengeance) to send the Holy Spirit to speak into the hearts of those who have wronged me less they suffer Your recompense hurling into their lives. If they refuse to rectify their wicked ways may Your vengeance convince them to repent of their vile lifestyle less they suffer eternal damnation in Hell. I request this in the name of the Supreme Judge Jesus Christ. Amen May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
