    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in "I Will Call Loud To Jehovah And He Will Answer Me.." ???   
    "I will call aloud to Jehovah,
    And he will answer me from his holy mountain." I will lie down and sleep;

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in "I, Jehovah, am searching the heart, Examining the innermost thoughts."   
    10 "I, Jehovah, am searching the heart, Examining the innermost thoughts, To give to each one according to his ways, According to the fruitage of his works. (Jeremiah 17:10).
    ❣️❣️❣️
    “Keep Testing . . . Keep Proving . . .” HOW can we examine the motives and the inclinations of our heart? The Bible admonishes us: “Keep testing whether you are in the faith; keep proving what you yourselves are.” (2 Cor. 13:5)
    ❣️❣️❣️
    There may be specific areas of our conduct that from time to time deserve careful scrutiny in order for us to make sure that our worship remains free of hypocrisy. Consider the following questions we might use in self-examination:
    ❣️❣️❣️
    Are my expressions of commendation and affection heartfelt and sincere?—Ps. 12:2, 3; 1 Pet. 1:22.
    ❣️❣️❣️
    Do I show hospitality and give gifts with unselfish motives?—Matt. 6:2-4.
    ❣️❣️❣️
    Do I treat my family members with love and consideration both in the privacy of our home and in public?—Col. 3:18-21.
    ❣️❣️❣️
    Is my conduct always in harmony with the Bible principles I zealously teach others?—Rom. 2:21-23.
    ❣️❣️❣️
    If we discover unwholesome tendencies, we do well to uproot them before they become dominant aspects of our personality. Then, like the apostle Paul, we may stand before God and say that “we never used flattering speech or put on any false front with greedy motives.”—1 Thess. 2:5.

    Pray to Jehovah he Give us Help Anytime! ???????? 
    2 "My help comes from Jehovah, The Maker of heaven and earth."(Psalms 121:2).
    An Unfailing Source of Help
    The psalmist began by pointing to Jehovah’s creatorship as a basis for confidence: “I shall raise my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come? My help is from Jehovah, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1, 2) 
    The psalmist did not raise his eyes to just any mountain. When these words were recorded, Jehovah’s temple was situated in Jerusalem. That city, located high in the mountains of Judah, was Jehovah’s figurative place of dwelling. (Psalm 135:21) 
    The psalmist may have raised his eyes to the mountains of Jerusalem on which Jehovah’s temple was built, confidently looking to Jehovah for help. 
    Why was the psalmist so sure that Jehovah could help him? Because He is “the Maker of heaven and earth.” In effect, the psalmist was saying, ‘Surely there is nothing that can prevent the all-powerful Creator from helping me!’—Isaiah 40:26.
    Indeed, the writer of Psalm 121 was confident that the almighty Creator watches over his servants with the gentleness of a caring shepherd and the vigilance of an alert guard. We have every reason to share the psalmist’s confidence, for Jehovah does not change. (Malachi 3:6) 
    Does this mean that we will always receive physical protection? No, but as long as we look to him as our Helper, he will safeguard us against all things that could bring us spiritual harm. 
    In what ways did Jehovah provide help—
    • by means of the angels?
    • through his holy spirit?
    • with his inspired Word?
    • through fellow believers?

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in Have Intense Love For One Another! ❤️????   
    Love is everything is it not?If Jehovah did not Love us, then He would not have given us His Son so we could live forever? Never enough Love! We Love cause He first Loved us! Surround yourself with Love, you will never fail!    ????❤️
      1 Peter 4:7,
    7 "But the end of all things has drawn close. Therefore, be sound in mind,and be vigilant with a view to prayers. 8 Above all things, have intense love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins."(1 Peter 4:7,8).
    Why Should We Love One Another?  First, “because love is from God.” (1 John 4:7) Jehovah, the Source of this endearing quality, loved us first. The apostle John says: “By this the love of God was made manifest in our case, because God sent forth his only-begotten Son into the world that we might gain life through him.” (1 John 4:9) God’s Son was “sent forth” by becoming a human, carrying out his ministry, and dying on a torture stake—all so “that we might gain life.” How should we respond to this supreme expression of God’s love? John says: “If this is how God loved us, then we are ourselves under obligation to love one another.” (1 John 4:11) Note that John writes, “If this is how God loved us”—not just you but us. The point is clear: If God loves our fellow worshipers, then we ought to love them too.
    Second, it is especially vital that we love one another more now in order to extend help to our brothers in need because “the end of all things has drawn close.” (1 Peter 4:7) We are living in “critical times hard to deal with.” (2 Timothy 3:1) World conditions, natural disasters, and opposition bring hardships upon us. Under trying circumstances, we need to draw ever closer to one another. Intense love will bind us together and motivate us to “care for one another.”—1 Corinthians 12:25, 26.
    Third, we need to love one another because we do not want to “allow place for the Devil” to take advantage of us. (Ephesians 4:27) Satan is quick to use the imperfections of fellow believers—their weaknesses, faults, and mistakes—as stumbling blocks. Will a thoughtless remark or an unkind act cause us to withdraw from the congregation? (Proverbs 12:18) Not if we have intense love for one another! Such love helps us to maintain peace and unitedly to serve God “shoulder to shoulder.”—Zephaniah 3:9.

    “Our Father in the heavens, let your named be sanctified.10 Let your Kingdom come." Matthew 6:9,10 NWT 2013
    ???
    God’s Will to Take Place on Earth? 
    “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:10) 
    ???
    How will this part of Jesus’ model prayer be fulfilled? Most people imagine heaven as a realm of peace and tranquillity. The Scriptures refer to heaven as Jehovah’s “lofty abode of holiness and beauty.” (Isaiah 63:15) 
    ???
    No wonder we pray that God’s will take place upon earth “as in heaven”! But will this ever happen?
    ???
    Jehovah’s prophet Daniel foretold: “The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these [earthly] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.” (Daniel 2:44) This heavenly Kingdom, or government, will soon take action to bring about global peace under righteous rule.—2 Peter 3:13
    ???
    Praying for God’s Kingdom to come and for his will to be done on earth is an expression of faith that will not lead to disappointment. 
    ???
    The Christian apostle John wrote: “I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’” Then John added: “And the One seated on the throne said: . . . ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’”—Revelation 21:3-5
    ???
    Faith in God Essential
    ???
    How heartwarming it is to know that our heavenly Father is interested in each one of us! He even had his Son, Jesus Christ, teach us how to pray. Surely this makes us want to please Jehovah God. How can we do so?
    ???
    The Bible states: “Without faith it is impossible to please [God] well, for he that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.” (Hebrews 11:6) How can such faith be acquired? “Faith follows the thing heard,” says the Bible. (Romans 10:17) Jehovah’s Witnesses are delighted to talk about Scriptural matters with all who yearn to serve God in true faith.
    ???
    It is hoped that this discussion of the Lord’s Prayer has deepened your appreciation for its meaning. By taking in further knowledge of Jehovah and his rewards for “those earnestly seeking him,” you can strengthen your faith in God. May you learn more about him and his purposes so that you can enjoy a close relationship with your heavenly Father forever.—John 17:3

    Bible Speaks reacted to JW Insider in FBI questions Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, buyer of WTBTS properties   
    At about 4:50 pm, yesterday, WNYC introduced a story with a lead that included something like: 'Next, we'll discuss the purchase of the Watchtower buildings and Jared Kushner.'
    At the time it was on the radio, Kushner had not yet been made a part of the FBI story that gained traction to be a bigger part of the political news just a couple hours later.
    This story does not reflect negatively on the Watchtower, of course.
    But there is no doubt that if this particularly venture fails as one of Kushner's bad deals (he's made other bad deals along with good ones) the Watchtower will continue to be mentioned. (A comedian, John Oliver, spoke of these bad deals while making fun of the Watchtower deal just a couple weeks ago. He used Kushner's quotes about what he wanted to do with the Watchtower buildings, but Oliver never mentioned the "Watchtower" itself.) What makes some people worry about Kushner's deal, is that Kushner buys the Watchtower's multi-block complex down by the Brooklyn Bridge for more than a third of a BILLION dollars. Then he gives the Watchtower Society even MORE, another third of a BILLION, for a single parking lot!
