EU IS GONNA FREEZE

[BARNABY THE DOG.]

Contemplating the fast approaching famines and wars that will engulf the earth, I have to wonder how Jehovah will provide for those who look to him.
After all the psalmist did declare
“I have been young and now I am old,yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned or his children begging for bread.
Ps.37.25
Can we expect to personally experience miraculous provision that we’ve often read about in scripture?
Jehovah met the needs for over a million people in an inhospitable wilderness for over forty years.
Will that container of grain in our pantry mysteriously replenish itself?
Will birds drop off morsels of food to eat?
Will we awaken, as a despondent Elijah did, to a freshly cooked meal prepared by an angel?
Will we simply be energized for long periods of time with little to no food as in the account of Elijah where in the power of that one angel prepared meal was sustained for over a month?
Or perhaps we do succumb to a death of starvation where we are given the dignity ,grace and peace to our last breath to then be mercifully concealed in death?
Who knows for sure what will happen to each of us but whatever our fate will be we can be sure Jehovah is always sovereign over every last minute detail of our life and death and that something good will always result from the outcome.
We may not see what that good is, at the moment, but one day it will be crystal clear to us and we’ll be thankful beyond words.

Try not to get too despondent Ken. I know it’s a rough road for you and yours but everyone is thinking of you, even if unable to help. As you know, the truth of the matter is that Jehovah will provide. He cannot lie, and so to be recipient of help, we have first to demonstrate our faith. That seems pretty strong with you given your recent comments, and the yoke of Christ is ‘easy’ on the shoulders. I, along with many others here, have given much thought to your comment content in one way or another and the truth is, that we are all pretty well stumped as to what the future holds and how we will cope and I have little doubt, that the subject is well warn in prayer. I bought a fishing rod a couple of years back as ‘preparation’, as it does not involve walking too far and involves a lot of sitting and waiting, (good for me!) and is a biblically proven way to get help when your hungry judging by the apostles’ outcome simply by casting their net over the other side of their boat. So clearly, yes, Jehovah will provide, just as He has steered everyone who wants it, towards the source of life’s water. Prayer and faith. Faith through prayer. Prayer for faith. 👍

I have always been inspired by your faith Ken.
Remember last year when I was limping you gave me scriptures Ken. I said to myself well if Ken has this faith then shame on me for getting fearful.

Day-time tv is a bit of a problem in this country, not known for its IQ status and less still for its content. Naturally then, if you have half a mind to watch it, that is probably all you will need. Needless to say, these two are prime examples and certainly not known for their intellect and as with any other ‘freebie‘ the cost is offset in their tax bill.

I pray for you Barnaby as well as all my brothers and sisters in the EU who are on the front lines of the madness your leaders are subjecting you to.
May God help us all.

That seems to be all you see on TV today everywhere, people that don't have any brains or are just there to read a script and get a pay cheque. The content tends toward the puerile and/or the obvious. I can't watch TV.

Thanks for those kind words Mick.
And you have gone on to be a powerhouse of encouragement to all in our humble group.
Thankyou for that.
It really seems like we’re starting the downward spiral and with all that’s going on not only in the world but in my personal circumstances with Donna’s illness , I strongly believe that our Father is teaching us obedience through our suffering and are being readied for the storm about to hit.
God bless you brother.
You and all here are in our prayers.

Game changer: With Russia's referendom on the way the dynamics have changed. For Donbas to sign up with Russia then it is war if any of Nato's alliance nations provide weaponry they will be deemed a target! 48min

I do appreciate all the well wishing and prayers from you and the friends here.
What does the scripture say? A righteous man’s or woman’s prayer when at work exerts great influence?
Its been said that suffering will either draw you closer to God or cause you to turn and run away from Him.
Fact is He won’t always intervene in a matter the way we’d like Him to.
I guess a lot of people consider Him a genie to be at their beck and call whenever the need arises.
Sometimes the answer to our prayers is no or wait or not yet cause He’s got something better for us we just can’t see yet.
If only we could see the big picture the way Jehovah does.
One day we will.
You have a fishing pole! Good for you.
I know you live by the channel right?
Or do you frequent a nearby lake.
Anyway thanks for your encouragement Barnaby.
Hope your family and your dog(s) are well.

True. You know when you have been ‘Muldooned’. Rather like leaning against a couple of tons of granite or 1000 year old oak tree. I have been a tree-hugger my whole life. I have often thought of writing a wanderers guide to tree leaning or hugging.

 

[MickHewitt]

I have been a tree-hugger my whole life.

Why it's enough to want to be a tree!

It was only late in my life that the question as to whether Jehovah sees our needs and responds was answered. I could reel off an anthology of my life, to illustrate the point but that is hardly of value. Nevertheless, The intervention of Jehovah in our lives is seen at its completion - where and when we arrive at it. Not at death, but in the completion of our lives when we have accomplished our reason for living, for want of a better term. We reach a stasis, a pause between whom we are, when we have done with what we were. I find it’s rather a nice place to be, a place of solid values where life makes sense because of the Creator being in it - only we know the degrees of that. Each to his own and thus in judgement. ( The pooch is fine. He is sitting right next to me snoring).

I am not sure that Jehovah would choose to teach us through suffering - though of course I understand the point you are making here Ken. When I trod the road you are on Ken some 40 years ago, and though I look back in anger at times, I have come to realise that it was the love of Jehovah that supported me. That, I suppose, is a common thing to say of the witness I then was, but in fact, during that time, Jehovah and the watchtower did not figure in my life. I was on my own, or so it felt. It is only in retrospect when the mind is stilled and the heart numbed by this world, that we achieve a degree of insight into the open hand of Jehovah and Christ. We are not always in need of discipline as the watchtower has taught us. Sometimes we just need someone to hold our hand, and Jesus knew this when his feet were washed and he was anointed with precious oil that could have been sold for money. He accepted that sometimes, it was his turn to feel love and to sense the value even though those very acts of kindness were symbolic of greater things. Well, we grow to greater things if we first recognise that Jehovah and Christ love us and the hand is open for us to draw on that strength.

We never know what Jehovah is doing with our lives. We are like chess pieces on a board in his great game against Satan. Sometimes we're maneuvered into position to do great good, or at least save our lives. Sometimes we're sacrificed for the greater good, or to lessen our suffering. But most of the time it's a waiting game to see where we'll end up.

The main thing is to remember that all the suffering and bad that happens in life will be undone as easily as flipping a switch(for Jah). Be excited because we never know what Jehovah will use us for.

And you may end up...

Great song kirmmy thanks brother.
Can definitely relate to the what’s being said about how’d we get to where we are.
Chess pieces! Love that.

You’re so good with words Barnaby.
“Well, we grow to greater things if we first recognise that Jehovah and Christ love us and the hand is open for us to draw on that strength.”
The .org would have you believe that when you leave it you’re doomed and spiritually dead awaiting the certain second death execution that it’s leaders have sanctioned ones to.
And yet here we, and a growing number of other cast off sheep, have gathered and are richly blessed with authentic truth and warm Christian encouragement.
I’ve always doubted the .orgs exclusivity notions.
Doesn’t Robert point out in a recent talk about Zephaniah’s words to seek meekness “all you nations”.
If we were cast off by Jehovah, then we wouldn’t be able to possess the fruits of His spirit and yet here those fruits are in full bloom everyday.

You know the silly things that go on in your mind? Today I am looking around the flat for some warm clothing, finding a suitable garment I try it on mmmmm..nice and warm but very tight! That silly voice in back of mind says 'Never mind you will grow into it'.......madness or truth?
