“You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live.” Exodus 33:20 ??????? Seeing God; Jesus. Spirit creatures, angels, are able to behold the brilliance of Jehovah (Mt 18:10; Lu 1:19), an experience that no human eyes could endure. "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 18:10).

Jesus Set the Pattern of Humility IT IS the final night of JesusÂ’ life on earth, and he spends it with his apostles in the upper room of a house in Jerusalem.

Do Not Give Up in Doing What Is Fine ??????????? •Galatians 6:9 —"So let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due time we will reap if we do not tire out." ??????????? AS JehovahÂ’s Witnesses, we delight in doing GodÂ’s will. We also find refreshment in taking on the “yoke” of discipleship. (Matthew 11:29) Nevertheless, serving Jehovah with Christ is not always easy. The apostle Paul made this plain when he urged fellow Christians: “You have need of endurance, in order that, after you have done the will of God, you may receive the fulfillment of the promise.” (Hebrews 10:36) Endurance is needed because serving God can be challenging. …

Hello to all my spiritual brothers and sisters! It's been a while since I've posted a topic! I chose the topic "Never Give Up on Jehovah" because three weeks ago my life changed! I was involved in a car wreck! This guy was speeding down his street, I stopped at the stop sign, then I proceeded to go, then he hit me! I hit my chest and couldn't breathe! Someone called 911, the ambulance came, I just suffered some bruises! I'm ok now, thanks to Jehovah, physically, and not as sore as I was! The police came and wrote down our insurance information! My car had to be towed to the Dallas Police Pound where it's still there! I filed a claim against him, he filed a claim against …

The eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him.—2 Chron. 16:9. Note the case of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. On one occasion, Jehoshaphat unwisely agreed to accompany King Ahab of Israel in a military venture. Although 400 false prophets assured wicked Ahab of success, JehovahÂ’s true prophet Micaiah foretold certain defeat. Ahab died in battle, and Jehoshaphat barely escaped with his life. Upon returning to Jerusalem, he was reproved for allying himself with Ahab. Even so, Jehu, the son of Hanani the visionary, told Jehoshaphat: “There are good things that have been found in you.”…

  This applies more to young ones, but can really apply to any one of us. In the world we live in today there are many people looking to take advantage of us by means of social media. There have been many sad stories about people who were robbed or worse because they gave away too much personal information on social media. Some may give out their information that it becomes like posting your private info on the screens in Times Square. Young ones with free and unmonitored access to smart phones and computers have at times found themselves speaking with strangers who seek to do them harm. It's so important that on our personal private accounts we are ca…

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I have kidnapped @The Librarian If you ever want to see her again, (and I know I am taking a risk in saying this) you are going to have to dig down into your pockets and pony up. I figure if each reader pays $1000, that should be enough to secure her release. There will be no special rates for those in full time service. I'm playing hardball. Updates periodically.

The Watchman’s Heavy Responsibility Literal watchmen were often stationed on the city walls and towers to warn of approaching danger. Jehovah appointed Ezekiel as a figurative “watchman to the house of Israel.” ??? Jehovah appointed Ezekiel as a watchman – Eze.33:7. Eze 33:8, 9—The watchman avoided bloodguilt by sounding the warning ??? Jehovah raised up prophets who served as figurative watchmen to the nation of Israel (Jer 6:17), and they, in turn, sometimes spoke of watchmen in a symbolic way. (Isa 21:6, 8; 52:8; 62:6; Ho 9:8) ??? These prophet-watchmen had the responsibility to warn the wicked of impending destruction, and if…

“The Blessing of Jehovah—That Is What Makes One Rich!" ?????????? New World Translation Proverbs 10:22 22 It is the blessing of Jehovah that makes one rich, And He adds no pain* with it."  ALL of us want to be blessed.

In no way are we giving any cause for stumbling, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.—2 Cor. 6:3. Christians have to train their mind and conscience to respond appropriately when neutrality-related issues arise. (Rom. 14:19) Take, for example, Mirjeta from a region of the former Yugoslavia. She was raised to hate Serbians. On learning that Jehovah is impartial and that Satan is responsible for inciting ethnic problems, she strove to rid herself of nationalistic sentiments. Yet, when ethnic violence broke out in her area, old hatreds began to resurface in her, causing Mirjeta to find it difficult to preach to Serbs. She realized, though, that she could not…

The Tempter approached.—Matt. 4:3. It is up to each individual whether he will allow himself to be brought into temptation or not. (Matt. 6:13; Jas. 1:13-15) For his part, Jesus immediately rejected each temptation from the Devil by the use of a relevant quotation from GodÂ’s Word. Thus, Jesus upheld GodÂ’s rightful sovereignty. But Satan did not give up. He waited “until another convenient time.” (Luke 4:13) Jesus continued to resist all of SatanÂ’s efforts to break his integrity. However, Satan attempts to ensnare JesusÂ’ followers, including you. Because of the ongoing issue regarding GodÂ’s sovereignty, Jehovah allows the Tempter to use this world to tempt us. …
