Finding Strength In Jehovah God Through His Son Jesus Christ

Being impatient has taken a heavy toll on the human race, because of impatience kingdoms have fallen; nations have gone to war, and thousand upon thousand of fatalities have occurred on our highways. That is why the author of the book of Proverbs could say, “A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense” (Proverbs 19:11).

Whether you’re sitting at a conference table as a cabinet member of a powerful nation or a cement finisher heading down the freeway late for work; it would be wise to heed the advice of King Solomon the author of the book of proverbs (one of the sixty-six books in the “Holy Bible”) that tells us to get wisdom, which in turn; will stress the importance of cultivating a patient and humble spirit.

Today more so than any other time in history our chances of becoming a victim of “road rage” is extremely high and what’s worse our chances of being an executor of road rage is almost as high. We are living in very stressful times that are producing stressed-out individuals that are at the brink of destruction. All around us we see the fruits of stressful living: anxiety, depression, discontent, emotional instability, and in all too many cases paranoid schizophrenia

Even in small school age children you see unsettling cases of emotional and psychological stress that day to day living has brought on. We need to understand that there is a real solution to living in a world that is fast pace and unforgiving. The apostle Paul taught us that,”the fruit of the Spirit (Holy Spirit) is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (patience); against such there is no law” (Galatians 5:22,23).

Choosing to exercise the fruits of the Spirit will not only bring about inner peace in our lives but it could very well save our lives too–both physically and spiritually. With so many people walking around; driving around, filled with frustration and anger it’s imperative that as Christians we stay calm and unprovoked to avoid escalating an already dangerous situation.

The apostle Paul went on to say, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, sedition, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in the past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:19-21).

As “Born Again” Christians we must not allow the fruits of the flesh to be manifested in our character or practice. We should strive to fight against those tendencies to exhibit the fruits of the flesh; instead, the apostle Paul said that if we live in the Spirit, we should also walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:25). Although we were conceived in sin, thereby inheriting sin; through the Holy Spirit we still can wage a successful battle against sin in our daily living.

No man is perfect and no man is without sin but with the help of Jehovah God’s “Holy Spirit” we can triumph over willful sinning by being obedient to the directions and instructions of the Holy Spirit. Christians that show intolerance and impatience are not following Jesus Christ; in fact, they are following the prince of darkness—Satan the devil. When we forsake the right way to follow the wrong way we submit ourselves at the throne of darkness.

Our conduct as Christians must exemplify Christ Jesus, and we cannot allow room for wickedness to take seed and grow. Jesus said, “If you love me keep my commandments” (John14:15). Jesus taught us to love one another but He also taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us. Therefore, not only must we show tolerance and patience but we must also show love. Jesus said “Honor thy father and mother: and ‘Thy shall love thy neighbor as thyself’ “(Matthew 19:19).

If we are really Christians; if we truly belong to Christ, we must follow His commandments and cease not to follow them. There are many who call themselves Christians but their works are the works of darkness: anger, strife, murders, lies, witchcraft, hatred; yet they confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Saviour.

Well, we all know that actions speak louder than words and it’s easy to identify a tree by the fruit it bears. Christians must pray always without fail, our fight is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, wickedness in high places, according to the apostle Paul (Ephesians 6:12), and the only way we can successfully fight this fight is through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

We are no match for Satanic forces unless we are imbued with the power from on high–the Holy Spirit. Through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit the powers of darkness are no match for us! Apostle Paul so eloquently stated, “I can do all things through Christ who strengeneth me” (Philippians 4:13) and that does not exclude Satan and his demons.

After repenting of all our sins and confessing with our mouth that Jesus Christ, the Son of God was raised from the dead, and we believed it in our heart—we were saved (Romans 10:9). Hallelujah!  And through prayer and faith in the word of God we received the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised He would send after His departure (Luke 24:49).

Now those of us who have received this gracious gift from Jehovah God our heavenly Father through His Son Jesus Christ; we must bring forth the fruits of the Spirit. We must not conduct ourselves as if we do not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and live a life that is contrary to the will of God. That is why we were admonished by the apostle Peter to make sure of our calling and election (2Peter 1:9).

We can’t afford to live a life that is displeasing to the author of our salvation–Jesus Christ. We must pick up our cross and follow Jesus even though it will mean persecution and rejection by many. Our walk must be such that it bring honor and glory to our heavenly Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In order to do this we must rid ourselves of pride because it is the pride of life that manifest itself in all manner of wickedness (Proverbs 16:18).

In order to be a Christian you must follow Jesus Christ; there is no other way. You might attend church regularly; you might be one that is held in high esteem by other church members for the good works that you do and have done; you might even have given your body to be burned to show your love for Christ, but Jesus said, “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not may sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father (Jehovah God) which sent me (John 14:23,24).

In conclusion, as Christians we have been given the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to guide us and instruct us on how to live holy lives. If we avail ourselves of this precious gift that Jehovah God Almighty has given to all Christians through Jesus Christ, we can and will bring forth good works that will result in the edification, glorification, exaltation and the vindication of our great and wonderful God Jehovah, and our dear Lord and Saviour–the prince of light, Jesus Christ.

If you have never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, please consider doing so today–right now. Jesus is a loving and gracious saviour that waits patiently at the door of your heart for you to invite Him into your life as your Lord and Saviour. He does not force Himself upon anyone; yet, he is always ready and willing to accept you as His own; all you have to do is ask Him to.

Please pray with me: Holy Father, Almighty Jehovah God, creator of heaven and earth and all that is within it, I bow down as humbly as I know how to ask for forgiveness for the sins and transgressions that I have committed in my life. Have mercy on my soul and deliver me from the clutches of hell and the power of darkness that have held me in captivity all my life. I repent of all my sins and transgressions, and I ask that your Son, Jesus Christ come into my life and be my Lord and Saviour forever.

Wash me in the precious blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ) and cleanse me of all my sins and transgressions. Give me your Holy Spirit to guide and lead me into doing your will. Amen.

The Holy Bible reassures us that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead we shall be saved (Romans 10:9). Hallelujah! Praise God Almighty. Now go forth as a new person in Christ Jesus. You are saved! Study the word of God every single day and pray that His Holy Spirit will give you understanding when you read and study the word of God. Fail not to give testimony to others about your newly found salvation in Christ.

If you have received Jesus Christ in the past but returned to follow Satan, please accept this invitation to return to your Lord and Saviour today before it is too late. It is a terrible thing to crucify Jesus Christ all over again through wicked and evil practices, after professing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour (Hebrews 10:31).

Please pray with me: Holy Father, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I repent of all the sins and transgression that I have committed after receiving Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, only to turn back to follow Satan the devil. Father God, have mercy upon my soul and deliver me from the powers of darkness that have held me in captivity. Wash me in the precious blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ), and cleanse me of all wrongdoings. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit (Holy Spirit) within me.

I recommit my life to Jesus Christ and I pick up my cross to follow my Lord and Saviour all over again. Thank you Father God for being so merciful and forgiving toward me a wretched sinner that have done abominable things before God. Thank you Father God for your undeserved kindness. Amen.

Now go forth as a new person in Jesus Christ. Study the word of God and pray without ceasing. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you in the way Jehovah God will have you to go. Remember, Jesus is always with you until the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Hallelujah! Praise God Almighty.

May the one true God of heaven and earth—the great Jehovah God and His life giving Son Jesus Christ be with you until we meet again. Amen and amen.

Note: Please understand that over time new revelations are given to me to pass on to all that take the time to read the articles/sermons that I post. Therefore, I believe it is imperative that I share these revelations to all who will listen.

In this article/sermon as with all my articles/sermons I use the name Jehovah when referring to the one true God, and I use the name Jesus Christ when referring to the Son of God. However, I want to set the record straight now, and correct this error.

The true historic name of the Father is “Yahawah” spoken in the ancient Hebrew tongue; Jehovah is a translation of that name. Jesus Christ is a modern day misinterpretation of the messiah “Yahawashi”. It is important that we learn to call upon the true name of the Father and the Son. Thank you.
