    Well hello again my brothers and sisters in Christ. I seem to be using this vlog more as a prayer request line than anything else, but I want to tell everybody. I do appreciate you listening to me and I appreciate your prayers and encouraging words. I had the opportunity last night to speak to a man about the overcoming power that the Holy Spirit gives you when you accept Christ as your savior. I believe I may be getting through to him, but he reminds me of myself whenever I was in the world. He's heavier set with long facial hair and long hair on his head. He smokes marijuana and he's all about being peaceful and loving. But he has low self-esteem because of his drug addiction and because of his weight I can relate because I was the same way. For those of you who have seen my post with my picture, you know I was no small man and it does weigh on you physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. And when you have an addiction on top of that usually caused by the depression of being heavyset or from rejection, whatever the reason may be, it hurts. But like I told him until you realize that you are worth somebody, you are worth something until you come to the realization that you like yourself the way you are for who you are free of any drug induced feeling. You'll never amount to the feeling that you are worthy of somebody or of something better. It's a depressive state. I said all that to say this I have fallen hard. The more I preach the word, the more the devil attacks. As soon as I preach the word of overcoming I myself fell weak to temptation. I ask myself how can I preach the word and then fell in the same area that I've been preaching. I didn't use drugs. There's still no desire there, but I fell into sexual lust if we're going to be completely honest and I'm going to be open as a book with you. I gave into the devil's biggest lie which is I wanted that which is natural but in the way that is unnatural to the kingdom workers lifestyle but very natural to the devilish worlds lifestyle. I beat myself down because of this because it seems to be the one area of my life that I cannot seem to get under control it bothers me because of my calling but the main reason it messes with me isn't nothing to do with a calling or a fear of man 's society and ruling. It bothers me because I fear losing out with God. I know this is a good thing because if I didn't have that fear I would have to question. If I ever truly had God to begin with, I'll cut this short so that people don't get tired of reading before it's finished. But I want to ask each one of you to please keep me in your prayers at Jehovah would destroy this demon off of me that when it comes to tempt me, there's no temptation at all. Only frustration that leads me to casting it out in Jesus name. I also thank you for your prayers for me to be able to spread the word and for your opportunity to spread the word on here as well. It is paying off but I am being fought against tooth and nail. I know I have the victory in Christ Jesus and I know I'm more than a conqueror through the blood of the lamp and the word of my testimony keep me lifted up that through my weaknesses Christ will be made strong in me. Thank you and God bless!

    Hi Roland,

    keep walking by spirit and you will carry out no fleshly desire at all, for the flesh is against the spirit in its desire, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so let them fight it out, you are no longer under obligation to the flesh, you have been bought for Christ and set free, just engage the Holy Spirit, it works like power steering; you still need to turn the wheel, but you no longer have to struggle with it, as you would without it. Ga 5:16

    I will keep praying for you, brother, cheers


    Harry

    Hello everybody, it's been a minute since I've posted anything. I strongly apologize for being so absent for so long. I've been going through the fire And I've been facing battles. Some I win and some I lose as it goes!

    Through it all Jehovah has held me and Jesus has helped me. The Holy Spirit has empowered me and even in my falls He shows me where I have grown.

    I would like to say that it's because my job keeps me so busy that I haven't posted but that would only be a partial truth because even though my job keeps me busy, I should always find time to preach the Word of God.

    My failure to preach is more towards the fact that I've just been negligent of my duty and for that I'm sorry. I hope that Jehovah will help me in the future to do better about being vigilant at spreading His Word with the world!

    I have still continued to love Jesus and to lift the name of Jehovah to the highest degree and to believe all that He has promised and received it by Holy Spirit power, but I have not prayed or preached nearly as much as I know I should and I have felt the effects of it in my spiritual life, but all of this can be used as a witnessing tool!

    You see, it shows that if we want to maintain a spiritual strength we must continue in the good works that Jehovah has called us to or we will pay the consequences. Though they may not be physical imprisonment or any such punishment, we will fill the effects in our spirit of weakness and failures!

    So it goes to prove scripture accurate when the apostle Paul says that we are to walk in newness of life and to be sober, vigilant, instant and season out of season. Always ready to give a good report and a reason for our faith!

    When we neglect to do this, our Spirit man suffers and the punishment is that we feel miserable. We feel weak, inadequate and sometimes just plum sorry for ourselves if we're not careful.

    I've always believed that if you fail to continue walking in your faith and obeying the word of God that your salvation can be lost. But I'm beginning to understand that He will strive with you to bring you back in alignment with his word.

    The only time hope is ever lost is when our final breath is drawn and we take it without going back to our first love and beginning to do the good works and obeying the Word of God, both spoken and written!

    But knowing this, we shouldn't continue to sin by disobeying God through neglecting to preach, teach, sing, or share the gospel in whichever way He has called you to, for we are all unique and each of us have our own unique style and method of witnessing, but rather we should become truly repentant and return to the Good Shepherd and begin our first works over because tomorrow is not promised to a single soul. And if today was our last, the question we should ask ourselves is this:

    Am I ready to meet Jehovah and hear the words? Well done. You good and faithful servant? Or would I see Jesus point to the flames of hell and hear him say depart from me you worker of lawlessness into the torment prepared for Satan and his followers!?

    My friends, it's a serious question but only you can answer for you and only I can answer for me.

    I'm thankful that I realize this now because that means that through the fire that I'm going through I have and am being saved. My prayer for each one is that they realize it as well and become saved as through the fire. Amen!

    God bless each one of you continue to keep me in your prayers as I can continue to keep you in mine and let us lead each other through example and through word into the everlasting Kingdom of Jehovah God that we may see each other in Paradise at the last day!

    I've been reading your posts here I can certainly identify with them I remember when I was your age. I'll give you the council straight from the Bible rejoice young man and be glad in your youth.

    But no this that everything you do in your youth God has his eye on you and will judge you for it.


    This is your time to build your house and your foundation whatever you concentrate your mind on right now that's going to be your house you're dwelling place for the rest of your life.

    I can only tell you don't do what I did in my younger life and devote yourself to drugs and women and fast cars.

    In the end it bites you in the butt and you get a jail cell.

    Find yourself a good woman a good job settle down and get married and both of you go to the same Church believe the same thing in Jehovah God and in Jesus Christ.


    Don't do like I did and think I'm going to get me a woman and I'll get her to think righteous and to go to my church and live happily ever after.


    But keep up the good work keep praying to Jehovah on a daily basis in the name of Jesus if you keep doing that things will work out

    LOL. I like fast cars too! And good food. It shows in my physique!!

    But on a serious note, I wouldn't have anything that I have in life If it wasn't for Jehovah God and for Jesus Christ my Lord, so for even the slow cars and the good food that I have I'm very thankful and I just want to do everything I can to show God that I'm thankful.

    I don't want to be the one that says thank you but doesn't show it. I want to be the one that shows my Thanksgiving, because Christ showed his Thanksgiving for mankind being made in his image, And for those who truly desired to know our Father in heaven by giving his life, the ultimate sacrifice. He didn't just say I love you. He showed his love.

    Good morning everybody I pray Jehovah's blessing rains upon you in abundance throughout this day in Jesus name.
    I haven't been on here in quite a while but I was talking to my good friend, JehovahIsGod, yesterday and he encouraged me to use my phone and the web as a tool to witness. And as I have felt the urge and the call to both teach and preach the word of God to the world I figured I would heed that great advice, so here I am!
    My job requires of me to be up and starting my route at 2:00 a.m. every morning so I use that time to talk to Jehovah and to pray. And once I have finished dropping all of my workers out at their job I use that time alone to hear the Word of God preached to me. And this morning I heard a sermon that really touched home for me.
    The preacher was speaking on being brought from the land of nothing as a nobody into the land of promise and being made into a somebody.
    The sermon got me thinking of how the devil will sneak in and try to make you doubt who you are in Christ and who Jehovah God has made you to be.
    Because of this sermon I wanted to briefly post and tell somebody that you are a somebody in Christ, made in the image of His likeness for the good works which he has prepared for you from the foundation of the world. And you have something in your land called prosperity because we are all made to prosper in Christ, as the scripture says, we are given life abundantly now and life eternally at the last day!
    I have been guilty of allowing the enemy to sneak into my camp and whisper in my ear that I'm nobody and I have nothing. He has told me that what I thought I had was all a dream, a fantasy, something not to be believed because of my failures and flaws. But I can tell you first hand that as humans we all sin and fall short of the glory of Jehovah!
    It's not our righteousness that saves us, it's the righteousness of Christ which we have been clothed with that saves us! It's all because of what Jesus has done that we are saved by grace through faith. We cannot be perfect. That's why Jesus had to come and be the propitiation for our sins and give his life for us on that Roman cross and rise again from the grave to defeat Satan and take the keys of death, hell, and the grave. And it's only because of that reason that we can be saved if we truly believe, put our faith in God Jehovah, except the gift of his only begotten son and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost!
    Don't listen to that old serpent tell you that you will not surely die if you eat of the forbidden fruit! It's the oldest trick in the book, but stand instead and scripturally rebuke him! It is written, I have all power and authority over you in the name of Jesus! And again it is written, I have been made more than a conqueror through Christ, and I have been made an overcomer by the Blood of the Lamb, the word of my testimony, and because I love not my life even unto death!
    My friend I promise you, if you stand steadfast upon these words and stand upon God's promises in faith, you will make it! We may be in Gethsemane right now, but there will come a day when we will be in Eden, and all things will be made new. But remember, the Word tells us we must endure to the end if we want to be saved!
    I pray these words help somebody today to be encouraged, knowing, as the Word says, The brothers worldwide are facing the same types of trials and tribulations. But count it all joy when you fall in to these temptations knowing that the testing of your faith works patience, and patience brings forth a betterment of your state of being and equips you to be able to stand against all of the tricks of the evil one, that the man of God may be blameless and wanting of nothing!
    May Jehovah God bless you and may you all have a great day, in Jesus name, Amen!

    Thank you for posting Mr Roland. I'm glad that you found some time during the daytime to post. You have to realize not all of us like to be up at 2:00 in the morning LOL.

    But yes we can be up at 2:00 in the middle of the morning smoking crystal meth or crack cocaine.

    We can also be up at 2:00 in the morning working a real job taking people back and forth to their jobs when no one else will help!

    That's quite a change! I've been there I've done that well I'm done being a night owl I'm an old man it's 64. I'm ready to go to Royal Palm Beach and set on the beach.

    And watch the sharks roll by LOL.


    Well I can certainly appreciate what you said cuz I've been there I've done that and I'm glad that you saw the light and that you decided I don't want to be part of that old world.


    What the heck I might tell you over to the Saturday field service and drop you off and let you go out knock on some doors.

    Let a few Pitbull chase you let some people chase you down the road with baseball bats and chainsaws LOL.

    And then they go to church and swear that they're Christian LOL.

    Anyway thank you for posting I enjoyed reading it

    Good evening. I pray everyone is doing well..
    I just returned from going to the gym and I'm sitting at the house waiting to start my evening route but I have a testimony that I would like to share.
    While I was at the gym the question was posed is there only one choice that brings glory to God and my answer to that is yes there's only one choice you can make that is the right choice.
    I've said it before and I'll reiterate it once again, there are not a multiverse of truths, there is one definite absolute truth.And what that being said, there is not a multiverse of correct answers or actions, there is one correct path and numerous incorrect paths.
    Anyways this question brought about a conversation between me and two other people in the gym and it gave me opportunity to preach the Word of God to share the truth of his holy word and to share my unfeigned belief that using the name of Jehovah brings about answered prayers and glorifies God better than calling him Lord.
    My testimony is this: I woke up this morning feeling weak, depressed and in despair. I was losing to battles, I was falling on my face flat and I just felt as if my salvation was not sure because the devil was beating me up like I was a raggedy Andy. I cried out to God on the way to the gym and I told him how I felt. I told him Father I believe you. I know that I'm saved even though the devil's telling me I'm not, but why can't I beat these demons and why do I feel like things are just not happening? I told him I was feeling defeated basically.
    And then I get to the gym and this conversation breaks forth and I felt just a reviving of the Holy Spirit within me that caused me to realize the fire in my loins that I've been missing is preaching the word and sharing my testimony and my faith with others!
    Jesus gave the great commission to go into all the world and to preach the gospel to every nation, making disciples of all men and baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
    After today I understand the importance of this commission better than I ever have!!
    When you become saved you don't become saved to hoard it to yourself, you become saved so that you can share your testimony with the world. You study the Word of God because it helps you to share with the world how they can be saved as well, and whenever you do it it strengthens you as well as those you have preached to.
    No wonder when we set quietly in the shadows only praising God in our hearts and with our mouths in private we seem so weak and so vulnerable to the enemy's attacks, because we are! We are weak and vulnerable to his attacks because we're not obeying the great commission that Jehovah has given us through his only begotten son!
    My encouragement to you today through this testimony on is this: seek Justice, Love Mercy, Walk humbly with your God and perform the great commission that Jesus Christ our Lord gave us to perform if you want to feel the power of the Holy Spirit surging through you and be pulled out of the pit of despair that the enemy has trapped you in!
    I must listen to my own advice and do just that! So with Jehovah as my witness you will see more posts from me in the future.
    Jehovah God bless you all and keep you safe through this day, is my prayer, in Jesus name, Amen!

    Good morning everybody, I pray Jehovah's blessing upon you all.

    As I said last time I promise to post more often so here I am this morning to post something and the only thing that keeps popping in my mind to post is a question. That question is simply this: what is our duty and obligation to the world as a Christian?

    I'll make it simple and short. Our duty and obligation as a Christian is to show the love of Christ and to accept others even in their flaws and failures, so that we might win some to Christ.

    I remember back before I accepted Christ into my heart and became a man of God that I grew up in a certain church and denomination which I will leave unspecified for Godly sake, that only judged you for every wrong that you done and was never willing to commend you on those things that you are doing right. They didn't correct you in love and show a caring spirit about your wrongs, but rather they showed a judgmental spirit and treated you with an attitude of judgment.

    I remember this pushing me away rather than drawing me in to God and to his kingdom.
    It wasn't until I began to start with the Jehovah's witnesses and to look around at different churches and how they operated that I began to understand there was more to Christianity than sitting back in your better than thou art attitude and judging others for not being as well as you.
    In fact I learned that that was not true Christianity at all but rather showing the love of God and sharing the true message of the gospel of Christ was Christianity in its purest form.
    We must love and accept others no matter how bad they are so that we can win them over to Christ and Jehovah can change their mindset and set them free of their wrongs.
    This is my simple message but I hope that it helps somebody made Jehovah bless you all with a good day and may he keep us all safe and the shelter of his care in Jesus name. Amen.

    Good morning everybody. I pray everyone had a safe holiday season through Christmas and New years.
    Now that we're in a new year I have made some resolutions as is customary but my resolutions goes beyond the physical realm and reaches into the spiritual because I realized as the apostle Paul says bodily exercise does profit a little but spiritual exercise profits a whole lot.
    One resolution that I've made in the physical realm is to be more assertive about eating a healthier diet because I want to be around a long time for my family and to share the gospel of Christ Jesus and to spread the name of Jehovah without any reserve but without spiritual strength and enlightenment and growth all of the physical training and dieting in the world is doing me no good.
    This is a truth that I wish more Christians would realize just as I wish that more Christians would realize that just because you pray and read your Bible and maybe share a verse or two or testimony or to with somebody doesn't make you a healthy man or woman of God.
    You see Faith without works is dead is what we're told in the Word of God therefore spiritual growth without physical maintenance is a dead form of spiritual life because we are to be good stewards of what God has placed us over and that includes our physical well-being.
    We have to balance them feed your body something good feed your spirit something good exercise your physical body exercise your spiritual body this is the only way you're ever going to see true growth and real success as a man of God or as a man in life period.
    I guess in a roundabout way what I'm getting at is that I encourage you all to make healthy choices for your lifestyle both spiritually and physically for this year started out right and end strong even if there are some failures in between but know this that all things are possible with God that includes starting strong ending strong and staying strong everywhere in between.
    The only fall that you'll make is a father that you want to make and this is the truth spoken from a man who has experienced both failure and success as any other man has but through spiritualize have seen even when I have fallen I could have stood had I have kept my faith and God's ability to keep me from falling instead of taking my eyes off of Jesus and looking at the circumstances around me as Peter did when he was walking on the water and begin to sink.
    God bless you my brothers May you have a blessed new year and may Jehovah use you modeling for his glory every step of the way in Jesus name Amen.
