Jehovah Gives Power to the Tired One 31 But those hoping in Jehovah will regain power. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; They will walk and not tire out.” (Isaiah 40:31) Isaiah 40:29-31 An eagle can stay aloft for hours, using thermals, or columns of rising warm air. Once a thermal is found, the eagle circles within the column, which carries the eagle higher and higher. When it attains a certain height, it glides to the next thermal, and the process is repeated The eagle’s seemingly effortless flight beautifully illustrates how we are able to carry on in our worship with the strength…

LONG - SUFFERING - What is Long Suffering mean? Does it mean to suffer for a long time? MAYBE! - Just think how long Jehovah has suffered with the wicked ones? Christ suffered on earth and was put to the test. Yet, He was Faithful to God His Father. We too must learn how to be LONG-SUFFERING in our lives, no matter how bad things can be. LONG-SUFFERING The patient endurance of wrong or provocation, combined with a refusal to give up hope for improvement in the disturbed relationship. Long-suffering therefore has a purpose, looking particularly to the welfare of the one causing the disagreeable situation. It does not mean the condoning of wrong, howeve…

Romans 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” This would be a contradiction to the statement in the book of Acts. Compare Acts 4:10 "let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·rene..." verse 12 "there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved. It is a contradiction in the 'New World Translation.' But Romans 10:13 from the Koine Greek(common Greek manuscripts as close as you can get to the original) you find in the Kingdom Interlinear Bible as …

BENGALURU: A 50-year-old Nigerian national underwent an awake craniotomy, a surgery performed while keeping the patient awake, allowing doctors to test the patient’s functions throughout the operation. The surgery was performed on April 14 at Columbia Asia Hospital in Hebbal. Doctors performed cortical mapping that helps identify important regions of the brain that can be avoided and protected during the surgery. “Stimulating various areas of the brain to have different effects on the body, like touching the motor region results in twitching and touching the speech areas would prevent the patient from speaking briefly. This helped the surgeons navigate through t…

Hundreds of people in Russia have to leave your house. Who are they? An unprecedented step in the history of Russia. There are hundreds of citizens of the Russian Federation who have not committed crimes, and no offense, they want to seize their property, which they built on their funds, with their own hands. The state of the Russian Federation wants to take away even the property that belongs to the document with their international colleagues. Who are these people? In Russia, these people have repeatedly been victims of criminal prosecution only because of their religion - it is Jehovah's Witnesses. Dozens of buildings of …

Jehovah Blesses and Protects Those Who Are Obedient Listen, Obey Be Blessed! “As for the one listening to me, he will reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity.” (Proverbs 1:33) THE fluffy, yellow hatchlings are busily pecking for food in the short grass, totally unaware of a hawk hovering high above. Suddenly, the mother hen gives a tremulous, high-pitched warning call and spreads her wings. Her chicks run to her, and in seconds they are safely concealed beneath her pinions. The hawk aborts its attack. The lesson? Obedience saves lives! That lesson is especially important to Christians today, for Satan is making an all-out effort t…

Look! Jehovah’s slave girl! May it happen to me according to your declaration.—Luke 1:38. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/6 Mary was to conceive, give birth to, and raise the only-begotten Son of God! It is easy to think only of Mary’s wonderful privilege and fail to consider some of the practical concerns that might have seemed daunting. God’s angel Gabriel told her that she would become pregnant miraculously—without having relations with a man. Gabriel did not offer to go to Mary’s family and neighbors to explain the cause of her pregnancy. What would they think? Mary must have been concerned about her fiancé, Joseph. How could she convince him tha…

"Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day of your military force." Psalm 110:3 ? ? ? People Who Preach—Ministers Offer Themselves Willingly POLITICAL RULERS often make promises that go unfulfilled. Even those with the best of intentions may be unable to carry out their promises. In refreshing contrast, the Messianic King, Jesus Christ, always proves true to his word. After he became King in 1914, Jesus was ready to fulfill a prophecy he had made some 1,900 years earlier. Shortly before he died, Jesus foretold: “This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth.” (Matt. 24:14) The fulfillment of those words would b…

WE CAN WAKE UP FROM DEATH! When Jesus was on earth, he showed that Jehovah cares for little children. You will remember that Jesus took time to talk to children about God. But did you know that God gave Jesus the power to bring young ones back from the dead?— Let’s talk about the time Jesus resurrected the 12-year-old daughter of a man named Jairus. Jairus lives with his wife and their only child near the Sea of Galilee. One day the young girl gets very sick, and Jairus can see that she is going to die. He begins to think about Jesus, that wonderful man Jairus has heard about who can heal people. So Jairus goes to look for him. He finds Jesus on the shore of the…

Feeding Many Through the Hands of a Few ?????? “After breaking the loaves, [Jesus] distributed them to the disciples, the disciples in turn to the crowds.”—MATTHEW 14:19. ??????? IMAGINE the scene. (Read Matthew 14:14-21.) It was just before the Passover of the year 32. A crowd of about 5,000 men, along with women and young children, had followed Jesus and his disciples to an isolated place near Bethsaida, a village on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. ??????? When Jesus saw the crowd, he felt sorry for the people, so he healed the sick among them and taught them many things about God’s Kingdom. When it got late, the disciples asked Jesus to …

God put Abraham to the test.—Gen. 22:1. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/5/5 Picture an elderly man trudging up a mountainside. He is making what must be the hardest journey of his life. It is not his age that makes this trek so daunting. Abraham may be about 125 years old, but he is still vigorous. Following him is a younger man, perhaps 25 years of age. It is his son Isaac, who is carrying firewood. Abraham has a knife and the means to start a fire. Jehovah has asked him to sacrifice his own son! (Gen. 22:1-8) Abraham was facing what was likely the greatest test of his faith. Abraham did not obey God blindly. Instead, he obeyed because he could see. W…

Where Is This World Headed? No Fear Jehovah God Is In Charge!' A Morally Upright Society The Bible says that when this world passes away, “the wicked one will be no more.” It also says: “The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it.” (Psalm 37:10, 11; Proverbs 2:20-22) So the earth will be cleansed of all remnants of immorality, including all those who refuse to abide by the wholesome teachings of our Creator. An earthly paradise, similar to that in which God placed the first human pair, will then gradually be cultivated earth wide by lovers of God.—Genesis 2:7-9. Consider the pleas…

"He goes away and immediately forgets what sort of person he is."—Jas. 1:24. Do You Allow God to Speak to You Every Day? ? HOW often do you look at yourself in a mirror? For most of us, this is a daily practice—perhaps something we do several times every day. Why? Because we are concerned about our appearance. ? Reading the Bible can be likened to peering into a mirror. (James 1:23-25) The message recorded in God’s Word has the power to allow us to see ourselves as we really are. It “pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit.” (Hebrews 4:12) ? In other words, it divides what we appear to be on the outside from what we really are o…

News source in Russian Far East speaks up for Jehovah's Witnesses JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: ARE THEY BANNED OR NOT? by Katerina Chernova Suchan, 26 April 2017 Like a stormy wave throughout all the news media of Russia rolled some triumphant articles to the effect that supposedly the "sect" of Jehovah's Witnesses had been banned on the legislative level. . . . This is not true. It was an amazing fact that this news was picked up literally on the fly by everybody who was not too lazy, referring to the fact that the Supreme Court ruled the organization "Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia" to be extremist and banned its act…
