BLESSEDJIA

A Day In The Life of Jiyah

Today seems to be another wonderful day, as most of the prior ones. Cappuccino is Italy's national morning beverage, preferrably, hot. Coffeebars are inevitably the most popular meeting point, both for the locals and visiting tourists. This morning I ordered the usual cappuccino and croissant, and the male cashier asked if I was to consume it seated at a table (paying an extra twenty cents), or if I will have them at the bar counter. I hesitated, I would have preferred the comfort of the table and chair, but I answered "bar counter". Thankfully, the owner or the cashier changed his mind and allowed me to sit at no extra cost. Then I paid a sincere compliment to the very pretty young lady, serving at the counter, and her older co-worker jokingly asked the same, for himself. Twice or thrice. I also noticed, that the artistic design on the top cream of the cappuccino has remained, even after sipping it to the last drops. Somehow, it kind of reminds of our FATHER 's inexhaustible and abounding Love. This is just a mundane day 's activity but made inspirational by remembering our FATHER.

Now, I had a clear idea of today 's menu, considering the cold and rainy weather, I thought of making soup, but buying processed broth was not an option. I was wondering if I could find fresh meat or meat scraps for the sole purpose of making broth, I was even given to the idea of requesting the butcher for meat scraps. Again, thankfully I found just what I needed, at the supermarket (thirty cents) . It 's like a GOD-wink to me. Just like yesterday, I was desperately looking for something for half an hour, to no avail. I had to go out at 11 p.m. to buy it . I said, I'm sure I will find it when I don't need it anymore, or there's less need for it. Sure enough, and thankfully, I found it today (a day after).

This is absolutely another ordinary day, but regardless, we can always find our FATHER 's Love in our day. In a warm smile, in a favor, in GOD-winks.

"I, MYSELF said,

"How gladly would I treat you like MY children and give you a pleasant land, the most beautiful inheritance of any nation. I thought you would call ME 'FATHER'

and not turn away from following ME." jer 3:19

The Case for Tesla and Electric Vehicles (EV's)

Tesla 2024 reviews

THE BEGINNING OF TESLA INCORPORATED

Nowadays, when Tesla (Motors) is mentioned, the name Elon Musk would automatically be associated with it.

But it hasn't always been that way. Tesla Inc. was founded by American entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in 2003. Its market consists of solar panels, car batteries and, home power storage. Funding has always been a challenge for start-up companies and so it was, also for the infant days of Tesla Incorporated. Eventually, it obtained its major financial support from Paypal co-founder Elon Musk who, later became the major shareholder and chairman of Tesla Motors in 2004.

THE MOTOR COMPETITION AND INNOVATION

Tesla has revolutionized the automobile industry in an unprecedented style since its official launch in 2008. Their first car model was the Roadster, the launch of which brought quick criticisms and rivalry-inspired media campaign. (watch video)

As it is, hybrid and non-hybrid (classic automobiles) remain a challenge to motorists. On one hand, you have environment protection and preservation, as justification for Tesla patronage, on the other hand, you deal with the politically colored uncertainty affecting the economy of things, including technological development.

Whether Tesla or electric vehicles will suffer the same plight as that of hover boards', only time or, digital trends can tell. (We all remember how lightning-fast hoverboard craze has come and crashed). Hopefully it wouldn't be the same for Tesla cars or other (China manufactured) electric vehicles. We must also give credit to Tesla founders, particularly to Elon Musk for paving the way to an alternative source of automobile energy. But given the speed of innovation turn-around in this present generation, thanks to AI and, the myriads of unprecedented and contemporary digital start-ups on all fronts, one can only hope for the best.

Tesla and EV Connectivity and Elon's Starlink

It's no secret to electric vehicle drivers, that their prized automobile relies heavily on internet connectivity. This must be the main reason why Elon Musk launched his own Starlink satellite network covering over a hundred countries. It can be affirmed that whoever controls the air controls the surface, not only in times of war but now, more than ever, the war on information technology. The major question or challenge is; can constant connectivity be guaranteed? Just imagine the repercussion, if you or more people suddenly lose internet connection in a significant situation. And, where technology spree is concerned, wouldn't it be safe for consumers to ask if it's worth it? Remember the hoverboard craze? Not that it (Tesla electric cars) would be wiped out so quickly, but the constant upgrades and the laws surrounding them, somehow should drive the consumers to weigh their decisions first.

Physical Infrastructures Must Adapt to The Weight of E. V. 's

Electric vehicles generally weigh thirty percent more than a regular car. In view of this, road infrastructures must be reinforced or upgraded, to provide safety to the increasing number of heavy electric cars, particularly where bridges, flyovers and, trafficked roads are concerned. Does this mean, that all the countries being served by electric cars, must consider this additional expenditure and all operations tied to it?

Power vs Distance

Another pivotal concern for the feasibility of electric cars is the battery life. The regular EV battery can run for 336 miles on a single full charge, which converts to roughly seven hours. Obviously, you can enjoy a longer battery life at the right price. Again, the question begs to be asked, if it can stand long range trips, much more so, in areas where connectivity is still remote. And what role will the expanding solar panel business play in this generation's automobile industry? This is in supplement to the energy sources, which are constantly modified and, enhanced. The road to electric vehicles stability is still long and winding, there are so many aspects to be settled, it pays to be very cautious where you put your money.

The LORD will guide you always; HE will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. isa 58:11

THREE THINGS THAT CHANGED HISTORY Forever

christian faith

Rome Baptist Church

I don't know about others, but almost every Sunday morning I struggle to get up early, (even to spend time with The LORD) to worship in the The House of The FATHER. Some Sundays I couldn't go to church, but it's a personal rule that I must be in church every Sunday morning. And as King David declared "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go into the House of The LORD.' " I realize that the Sunday morning struggle would eventually vanish like magic once you are immersed in that spiritual environment, where people smile and are welcoming, as if there were no issues in their personal lives, but the truth is, those would be set-aside and left behind at the back of our minds, in the face of worship that is part of our personal relationship with our Lord JESUS Christ.

And so, this particular Sunday morning I (we) learned about the real struggles of the early Christian church or believers. Evidently, the Pastors are highly knowledgeable about world history in general, as it is studied in academic schools, and they've got this divine expertise to bind The Truth of The Scriptures with the historical facts.

THE BIRTH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

This Truth will forever be mind-boggling not just for me, but for everyone. For many, as well as the Jews, this has turned into a stumbling block that can't be overcome. How can The Eternal, All-Powerful Creator of the cosmic universes, galaxies, the beautiful majestic mountains like the Matterhorn of Switzerland, the little and big sea creatures like The Big Whale that swallowed Jonah of the Bible. All of these creations obey our Loving GOD and FATHER.

In the Beginning was The WORD, and The WORD Was with GOD, and The WORD Was GOD. . . . The WORD became Flesh and made HIS dwelling among us.

john 1:1-2, :14

Try so much, as others would, there is no denying that The Lord JESUS indeed was born, all historical facts (backed by archeological evidence) testify to this. The Lord JESUS Christ is the only human being born to die. All people who were ever born on this earth, were destined to live their lives to the fullest. This, actually is the will, plan, and desire of our Loving FATHER, as The Lord JESUS said;

"I AM come that they might have Life, and have it More, Abundantly."

john 10:10

The Lord JESUS was born as a human being, lived a 'normal' childhood as any of us, showing obedience and respect to HIS appointed earthly 'guardians' or parents.

THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST

Once again, the yearly global celebrations of Holy Week (secularly referred to as, Easter which is pagan in nature) is, nothing more than our earthly way of remembering this awesome act of GOD, re-enacting the Passion of Christ in HIS last week of suffering on earth leading to HIS appointed or prophesied death. He was not murdered. The Romans, neither did the Jews nor anyone kill HIM. HE willingly laid down HIS Life to save you and me from the eternal punishment of hell, which is the wages of sin (innate or sin-nature in a person). The nation of Israel (and also Egypt and other nations) holds many infallible, or irrefutable evidence of JESUS Christ and all people around or relative to HIM; (i.e. The Empty Tomb of Christ, HIS birthplace Bethlehem, Jerusalem which is called The CIty of David, where HE Was crucified and buried). This, to me, must be the main or real reason, why the enemy is trying his best to erase or annihilate Israel.

No one takes MY Life from ME, I give MY Life of MY Own free will. I have the authority to give MY Life, and I have the authority to take MY Life back again.

john 10:18

THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

All Christianity would never exist without this single most significant event in human history. Believers in CHRIST would have no reasonable justification to follow those early Christians who willingly laid down their lives in exchange for the Hope and in faith of what they, themselves have been eyewitnesses, of HIS tangible glory. Which Glory has never passed away, and never will, even in my life. This is the most powerful justification and conviction of The Power of HIS Tangible Love. The Three Things That Changed HIstory. The same three things that changed my own life. And (of) those who believed and believe in HIM, The Lord JESUS Christ. And change, yours too, if you dare (believe).

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins. . . . But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruit of them that slept. 1 cor. 15:14

LOOK WHAT HE HAS DONE! #healingtestimony

Healer

YOUR WORDS CARRY POWER

Your words and thoughts carry power in your life, and it will be just a matter of time before you see the manifestations of what you have been habitually declaring over yourself, your life (and also over others, your family or children). The WORD OF GOD, The Holy Scriptures teach us through many passages, in particular in the book of Mark 11:23 "Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain 'Be taken up and be thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him." There have been many experiments conducted to prove this truth. One such experiment is demonstrated by a Singaporean Pastor Mark of New Creation Church, when he took three glasses filled with soybean seeds. Each glass was labeled with appointed declarations and so, the corresponding declarations (cursing, blessing, and praying in tonques, or Spirit, respectively) were pronounced for a period of 30 days, the glasses were kept apart at a distance during this experiment.

(see photo below)

WORD-Power

The Glass of Blessings, in the middle, was exposed to worship of GOD and all the declarations of Blessings derived from The Bible or The Holy Scriptures (from The Old Testament through the New Testament) for 30 days. Growth and life matched the declarations of Blessings spoken over it, as evidenced by its height and healthy springing up.

(See photo below)

WORD-Power

In the third photo (below) the soybean seeds in the glass that received cursing for 30 days, showed no growth or development at all. It may even be possible that the seeds choked or died.

Biblical Truth documented by the fact produced by this secular experiment.

WORD-Power

The great irony in life is, that we can tame animals, we can tame people, our subordinates or students, our family or friends. But the tonque can not be tamed without CHRIST, because the tongue is bound to expose what is inside the person. Much like a computer which is designed after the human nature. Input in, output out, or it will Only print out what has been programmed into it. The Lord JESUS said; "FIRST wash the Inside of the cup and the dish, then the outside will be clean, too." No one can really clean his or her heart or soul, the Inside of us; with all its greed, immorality, violence, hatred, anger, disobdience, rebellion, unbelief and other destructive thoughts. For this reason, our Lord JESUS came. To wash us clean, clean indeed, Inside FIRSt, then the outside manifestations will inevitably or naturally follow. It might not be in an instant nor automatically. But you will have begun a wonderful walk through your lifetime, with your Creator and FATHER WHO Has promised "I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR, FORSAKE YOU." WHO GAVE NOTHING LESS, OR NONE LESS THAN HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, our Lord JESUS. HE Will give you HIS Own Peace that is not worldly, but inwardly and heavenly.

SEE WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE, (Again) !

I have testified some years back, how my husband has undergone twice, (over a gap of three years), critical open heart surgeries. Anyone would have expected the worst outcome, considering his age (61, first open heart surgery) and previous medical documents point to a critical health compromise, relative to all the serious procedures. I, in the face of all the hopeless physical evidences and situations, was tempted to give in or give up hope for healing . . . it was 2017.

This year 2024, the challenge came around, this time with an equally life-threatening disease we all recognize as pneumonia. This year, at the age of seventy, in the month of April he was struck with a severe case of pneumonia, we rushed to the Emergency ward and he was eventually confined for three weeks. He got better but, the hospital discharged him on April 22, 2024, even when he has not yet fully recovered. To alleviate the situation, the doctors prescribed twenty-four hour oxygen support, which necessitated an oxygen tank and a supplement portable oxygen machine.

During that period, there was a healthcare crisis in Italy. There were less health personnel and, many patients awaiting to be treated of diverse, even critical diseases.

My husband was put on a protected or Elective hospital confinement, in which, we had to administer all the necessary medications at home, the patient would only present him/herself to the hospital for necessary lab tests, such as blood tests, X-ray, or ultrasound, CT scan and, other machine-assisted tests.

On May 05, 2024 (two weeks) after the release from hospital, the life-threatening symptoms were back; such as shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing, over-all weakness in that he couldn't speak a word without severe coughing, he didn't have energy to even make one step, let alone stand up. All day and night he coughed strongly that it kept neighbors, and us awake. We were back at the emergency ward and he was again, admitted. The same night or dawn of three a.m. or so, the doctor from the emergency ward called me, and asked casual questions, like if we had children, if I was the wife . . I felt something was odd, about the Doctor calling at this strange hour of the night, only to ask such questions. I asked how my husband was doing, he answered that my husband was in a discreet situation, which I interpreted as, 'not good'. All those times, I was full of anxiety and fear, but most of all, prayers and worship of my Lord JESUS, The Healer. Our Healer.

This is what The LORD says-HE Who created you, O Jacob, HE Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine. " When you pass throught he waters, I will be with you; when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you." isa43:1-3

Once again, HE came through with Healing in HIS wings. I must add, that there have been diverse physical attacks, minor nonetheless, that were nullified just Because HE Loved us. Absolutely, no merit of our own. On the contrary, we don't deserve any of HIS goodness. But just, because HE loves us, HE has healed once again HIS child. HE will always be our Healer. Past, Present and Future.

JESUS Christ, The Same, yesterday, today and forever.

hebrews 13:8

Friend, if you need all HIS Peace, Healing, Goodness, Provisions, forgiveness, Life everlasting and, Love; you can have all these FREE gifts. Salvation is a Divine, Spiritual gift which cost HIM The Life of HIS Only Begotten SON our Lord JESUS Christ. Just receive HIM in your heart and begin a wonderful walk with YOUR Heavenly FATHER through HIS Holy Spirit.

The WORD Of GOD IS Living And Powerul, and Sharper Than Any Two-Edged-SWORD, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow, and IS A Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. heb4:12

THE Only MAN-MADE Token in Heaven!

about JESUS

"Just Because YOU Love me."

This is categorically an unparalleled and unprecedented declaration any human can make, it can only be acknowledged where heaven is concerned. It's too powerful in that it connects heaven to earth, you to HIM. Try as I may, I can never wrap my human brain around this truth.

Considering all that is happening around us, the wars, the plagues, crises, moral decay of society; all prophetic precursors to our Lord JESUS' return to the earth that HE HIMSELF, created. Above all, for HIS children. There is no way anyone can exactly explain HIS Love, HIS Grace (unmerited favor), HIS Power, HIS Wisdom, HIS Patience and, goodness . . . it is something that frustrates pride. We, as humans are, by nature proud.

Let me invite you to a moment of reflection when all earthly existence as we know it, will be over. Either you will find yourself here or there, with HIM or without HIM. Let's consider being in heaven with HIM, and all sufferings and degradations will just be earthly memories. You will be your real, perfect, and, immortal self. Just perfect as Christ has intended you to be for all eternity. I can almost choke on parking my brain along this thought; you are absolutely perfect, as HIS Love has conceived you. But look at HIS Hands, when HE dries your tears, when HE touches your face, look at HIS Hands. They literally bear the marks of the cross, The Only Man-Made Token in heaven. HE took the marks of The cross on HIS Hands, forever in heaven, if you choose to be with HIM. You will witness the tangible but incomprehensible Love that literally crosses all known boundaries, universes, from earth to heaven.

Just Because HE Loves you.

No merit on our part, as The scriptures declare HE gave salvation voluntarily, it cost HIM, HIS Only Begotten SON, HIS Sacrifice to redeem you and me. HE did it while we were in our sin, living our carefree lives, not even looking for HIM. Salvation. HE did it! He didn't wait for us to clean-up our acts. Or to change our sinful ways.

"While we were yet (still) sinners, Christ died for us." rom 5:8

Just Because HE loves me, HE IS returning to take me home with HIM to enjoy Life with HIM forever. I won't go alone. You will never be alone. HE HAS NEVER LEFT US ONE MILLI-SECOND. HE IS AS REAL AS YOUR OWN BREATH. HE IS IN YOU IF YOU LET HIM IN YOUR HEART.

And one shall say to HIM, what are these wounds in YOUR Hands? Then HE shall answer, "Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends."

zech 13:6

Nobody's Blushing Anymore!

2024 changes

There's a famous saying that goes; "The only thing that's permanent in life is change." Nothing in life is immune to change; technology, beliefs, standards, relationships, principles. And the greatest part of life with which change has perennially bonded is, time. Times have changed: we have always acknowledged this truth with every generation that comes and goes. And the changes are appalling, particularly in this generation's moral and psychological inclinations. As Pastor Billy Graham once put it; 'People are generally more careful about offending men, than offending GOD.' The things that used to be morally shocking or unacceptable before the internet or digital age, are now, not only normal-but seem to exceed known limits, every time.

Nobody's blushing anymore at the thought of offending the morality that Christ has instituted for mankind. No one is embarrassed by the blatant perversion. Because time has changed, we can call it an excuse to justify what The Holy Scriptures call an abomination, a sin. We have been accustomed to more nudity in public, moral decay, satanic rituals in music and movies, violence, TV ads that promote homosexuality, trans-genderism, governments being run by corrupt politicians who lack integrity, abortions, LGBTQ, The world never seem to run out of new things to invent, and sometimes they're done in a spectacular and unprecedented creativeness which leads to popularity. It's mostly how a concept find its way to the heart of the world. Everyone is quick to justify and make an excuse for a shameless principle, without even considering what The Holy Bible says. Now, we are seeing the scary aftermath of tolerating everyone's strong opinion- based on personal experiences. We listen to many, many awe-inspiring, touching stories of triumph and we think that we could build our future on others' experiences.

Make it Simple

We all, as humans, will always be limited as long as sin exists. The day will come, and to say the least, it's almost at our doorstep, when we all will step into immortality whether to damnation or to redemption. In the meantime technological or digital advancements benefit our health, robots are acceptable as long as there is a tight regulation and monitoring of scientific activities. All changes are welcome but it is up to you and me to decide what changes are beneficial for us. We are free moral agents that have been given the right to choose for our own. The simplest and most important choice anyone can take (or make) is the gift of salvation by The GOD Who made HIMSELF a man for us to be able to enjoy Life as HE intended it. HE makes Life simple, but more Abundant.

The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it More Abundantly.

🟢 I JUST EXPERIENCED A FINANCIAL MIRACLE! 💖

PDF Editing

Over a week ago, while preparing my lesson with a six-year old Italian boy, I needed to download images and quiz sheets from the internet, as a part of the games and quizzes that I play with very young or little kids in our online lessons. I also usually download diverse kinds of short videos, PDF image sheets and kiddie songs, to be used for my students with varying levels of English skills, and most services are free if you have the time and patience to browse through each related link. As it is, I am not new to downloading diverse documents from internet.

But that particular time, just the last week of January 2024, in a hurry I was preparing the lesson about twenty or fifteen minutes before the lesson start, with a myriad of personal tasks I had to complete here and there, I ended up with so little time to prepare my lesson for this adorable young boy. And so I downloaded the needed PDF images and edited them through PDFGuru.com . The cost was supposed to be .99 cents per document which I really didn't mind paying, due to the rush I was in. But, the error on my part was, overlooking the option of a pending automatic subscription which must be cancelled within seven days. As a result I was surprised to receive a message from my bank that I had been debited Eur 49.99 by this service. So in frustration I quickly e-mailed and demanded them to refund me the money. Someone told me it was a hopeless case and this is the usual online scam that people fall prey to without the possibility of recovering the money, which I reluctantly believed. Even my own daughter was scammed of the same amount, online, and never recovered the money.

Cut the story short, it took only two angry demand e-mails before the prompt refund came within 24 hours. The reply for the cancellation of (automatic) subscription was cancelled and, the refund process was done. I thanked them for being kind, in spite of my angry demand for refund.

But the greatest factor, is Prayer. Yes, I prayed and prayed and prayed, that The LORD would talk to the hearts of the people in-charge of this internet service. And as my Lord JESUS Lives, HE answered and that is the reason for the title of this blog.

So yes, I will still go back and use and, even recommend PDFGuru.com to users who need to edit PDF documents. They have integrity and sincerity in their service. It was so easy and fast to edit the PDF documents through PDFGuru.com. But as users, we should be very careful before clicking any buttons, so as not to get-into automatic subscription issues. PDFGuru.com offers varied document editing services at an affordable cost, and they are both important and beneficial to many online or office workers/users,
