Nwsltr-082210-How Can I Wait
“I ask myself and the LORD, “HOW Can I Wait?”

Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

There is always a sense of urgency when listening to an Evangelist, on fire Preachers, and others who have been relegated responsibility by the Lord. It seems there is always a place where we must be, finding ourselves outside of where were supposed to be. In this there seems to be a game of catch-up. We are never satisfied and in fact, for many of us, we are downright hard on ourselves.  Between listening to preachers hit us on the head, or prophetic words telling us when destruction comes, or our own critical attitudes towards our own mistakes, we get tired.  The attitude for many in the warning America crowd is described by the phrase “How Can I Wait?”

I mean by this we are in tune to destruction, chaos, and at times we seem to be saying to ourselves and many others, “how can I enjoy life, how can I plan a future, or what am I going to do?” All of this represents the end time thinking that with the situation we find ourselves in, there simply is nothing to do except face catastrophe. Take, for example 2012, the pundits and others have the whole world practically destroyed. I have seen and done news on our radio of people buying real estate, special shelters, and readying themselves for the end of the world.

Gone are the days of enjoyment, unless you’re outside of what is known as ‘these people are all crazy crowd.’ This is the crowd that totally rejects any judgment coming at all. For the most part this crowd are the ones who do not accept any of this at all and spend their time enjoying personal pleasurable pursuits. They “love their pleasure and make their plans” over and above any commitment to a God. Among these people are those who wonders if God cares, let alone a supreme being who would send judgment. They don’t accept the wrath of God teaching, nor understand the salvation that many thrust out like jelly beans at a party. In short, they don’t understand it and don’t want to spend time with it either. They want to live their life, enjoyably and if they die, well at least they would go happy. After all many of these people reason, there is no hell. After this life, these people see themselves graduating to a new level of spiritual man or woman. Some even see themselves being reincarnated into some other human or species which is all part of plan of some super God who enjoys sending humans into the endless cycle of birth and death.

I see all this and wonder how God can save anyone at all! After all people today have their own ideas. Many have their own churches and won’t even accept a word from anyone outside of it.  I get bombarded on all fronts by doctrines, people, teachers, pastors, believers, and unbelievers. I see them daily. From the Mormans who go two by two to the Jehovah witnesses that do this as well. I am called upon by the local Baptist boys who recently went door to door and sought us out to ask us where we went to church.  Well, if you boys really need to know, my shabbat is the one found in Gen chapter one. Of course, I did not tell them that, I patted them on the back and said God bless you and sent them on. They could find some ardent sinner to save and leave me alone. For they are not ready for what I do or what I believe. Neither is the church and certainly most pastors.

I have spoken with many people over the years and have had good conversations with many Mormons, Muslims, and others over what is coming. As I talk to them, they also have their prophets, their teachers, and their idea of who Jesus Christ is. As with all of them, their version of Jesus Christ is only good with their denomination or religious format they are pushing.  They do not seem to be interested in anything that I say. They are only interested in getting me to agree that they know what they are talking about and I should join them. To this, I say; NO! The divisions of the end days in which we live are real.

Moreover, these divisions are there and won’t come down. They have years of people building upon them and are made of stuff harder than concrete. What is harder than concrete you ask? Steel? NO! It is stuff that even Jesus could not break through, it is called traditions of men!

Mark 7:9  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

They had them in the time of our Lord when he came to die on the cross for our sins. They had them after he died and ascended to heaven. They have them today just before his arrival again. In this I ask myself, “How Can I Wait?” Am I in a hurry to see the LORD? Well, Yes and No! I am wanting to see him, but I know I have much work to do. Many people are not ready and at the rate we are going its going to take awhile to break through the man made nonsense that people put around themselves.  I mean I have had people speak to me nicely, lovingly, and say “Pastor”, “You don’t mind if I call you Pastor do you?” they say to me. “I consider you my Pastor thats all.” Well I say to them, “NO” go ahead. I don’t tell them that when people want to call me or anyone a “Pastor” you had better get ready to duck! For it will occur soon, usually within a year or two of them saying that and calling you their “Pastor” that it occurs. They end up becoming offended for some reason, stabbing you in the back, and then leaving. Of course, it is always your fault, but then, this is the way it is in Ministry. Yet, it is hard to believe that the sheep actually butcher the very “Shepherds” that are to be guarding, teaching, and guiding them. Yet they do it all the time.

Then there is the famed evangelists who are on the who’s who list of successful people. They are rich, the crowds who listen to them are huge, and they openly profess things that are outright lies and blasphemy against the Lord.  For instance, one said that “you cannot have happiness without money.  It doesn’t take the Holy Ghost, it takes money, without Money you can’t be happy.” These along with their doctrines are what many want to hear and follow today. It is a get rich carnality, with a special spirituality attached to it. It allows a believer to get rich so they can make the unbeliever want to be a Christian. They don’t become Christians because they are sinners saved by grace so to speak. Many become one so they can be rich and have it all, plus salvation just like the one they see preaching it.  Again, I ask myself the question “How Can I Wait?”

2 Peter 2:3  ¶And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not

Into this mix are the people who believe the Lord is coming soon and they want to be ready. They spend their time trying to follow the Word of God, praying, and working hard to be that perfect ideal disciple. When they make a mistake, others forgive them, usually, but they cannot forgive themselves. They spend endless hours over it, fretting about it, and considering what they should of done. They have kids that don’t follow the Lord, friends that think their nuts, and overall are left without a church because most churches don’t believe as they do.  I get email from people and communication from our social sites. This mail is usually from believers who are lost in the end time shuffle. They have no friends, church, or a place to fellowship. They believe yes, but they also hold to different ideas than that of many churches. I see this especially true if you hold to the Apostolic and early church teachings of  shabbat and feasts. This really puts you in a corner alone. Then if you tell them anything at all regarding their rapture ideas, well this blows the lid off the thing and your in deep odds with them. They will drag out every teaching and false prophet they can think of to convince you your wrong. Yet they will not consider these doctrines that the church follows are pure man made teachings and philosophies made into doctrines.

Here we find more divisions and trouble. It is here I ask myself and the LORD again, “How Can I wait for your coming?” Only the Lord can bring unity! The Spirit of God can unite us, but he won’t be able too until trouble and tribulation hits. When the sifting sands of man made doctrines become swallowed up in the fire of the Smelter of the LORD then men will seek the LORD over the false ways they have followed. It will be then, that the eye will see clearer, for the fire has cleansed the bias of their ways and doctrines from their heart. It will be then that men and women will be able to love as the LORD commanded. Right now our doctrines, ideas, and pride keep us from truly loving one another. Just like those who call me “Pastor” one moment then later won’t have a thing to do with us, our web sites, or radio show. They turn on us all the while telling us how much they love us as they call us “Pastor” while making plans to junk any emails we send them and to sever any relationship with us.

I saw this in the church back in the 80′s as well when two board members stopped me on the stairs of the church. It was in between Sunday school and the main church service. They were mad as hell and they were not going to take it anymore. They both looked at me, pointing and angry saying, “take your bag of ideas and leave. We don’t want your kind around here. Your too Zealous for the LORD.” Now this was a new church with much growth. The Pastor was a former insurance salesman and knew how to sell a church. The only thing they could not tolerate I guess was a guy and his family who were Zealous for the LORD. Go figure. The church is the same today as it was then, only worse. Christians are the same as well, the only trouble is many of them are suffering from this carnal, lukewarm, and secularized church. It is a church that likes a modern Christianity, a modern Cain type religious church. It is one that has modern man made philosophies in it. One that lacks the power of God to deliver. One that has no clue to the real Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach.  In this is caught up many a believer who like the church they are attending have no clue as to what is really going to happen, and very soon! Again I ask, “How Can I wait?”  The Answer, is in patience and faith!

James 1:3  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

I leave you with these words that the Apostle Paul told Timothy:

1 Timothy 6:8  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13  ¶I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14  That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Where do you stand?

Know God!
No God?

Know the LORD!
No LORD?

Know Jesus Christ!
No Jesus Christ?

Know Heaven!
Headed for a Devils Hell!

Nwsltr-101710-When Hell Comes Knocking
“When Hell comes knocking, a message for the times in which we live, preparing for what is coming, that  which shall come to pass shortly”

By the Watchman
Dana G Smith
Keywords: hell, hell comes knocking, devil, kingdoms, men, nations, Jesus Christ, Lord, believers, word, faith, patience, Satan, world, end times

Words: 2873

Luke 4:5  And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6  And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7  If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Revelation 1:9 ¶I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ

When one considers hell, it is true, many do not consider it at all. The fact is, as Americans anyway, hell is that somewhat vague representative of a bygone era. One where death, destruction, and ever lasting torment reside. It gives forth the belching of fire, volcano’s, heat, sulfur, and darkness.  As for Americans, sinners and hell have been replaced by fun and a do it your way mentality that has even invaded the church.   The question then must be asked is America too civil to become a devil’s house? If it does become such or maybe as many believe it has already become one, what then? Will events in the nation become to change the very structure of this American society? I tell you and many who have seen the current political landscape have already seen the change. For years we have seen all forms of invasion to this nation, from outright debauchery to the illegals who have come to these shores to obtain what they can from this country.

Case in point here is Obama’s Aunt, who up till recently, was an illegal resident living on the east coast. In one interview that I saw, she mentioned in so many words, ‘that this country is under God and her living free on the nation here is part of God taking care of her’. Well she and many in this country also see things this way. They never consider the fact that free money doesn’t exist and it comes not from Obama and the government, but from the working men and women of the nation called America. Of course, the current Prez as I call him was brought into power to foment that change. We have witnessed this change in the form of a gradual coast into socialism. It seems like Stalinism has moved into the White House. The current situation in America is one where I tell you that “Hell will come knocking.” When it does, those who did not listen before will have to take notice of it. For the escape from it will be difficult if not impossible. For the America you and I have come to know, is for all intents dead. Many try to bring it to life again as they pump air, give it mouth to mouth, and put it on life support systems. But even if it does manage to stand up, it will be a mere shell. It will more ‘the walking dead’ that the nation our forefathers came to see arise from the dust.

Indeed, as I write this the cool October chill is reminding me of the November elections. Many are hoping that in this will bring the order of Obama’s change to an abrupt halt. But on Obama’s side and many in the Democratic and even among Republicans, the hop toward a gradual socialist agenda has been in the works for some time. Many do indeed want what Obama offers, especially many illegals in the country who see it as their ticket to all those things America has become to the nations. That is wealth and prosperity.  But the one thing many forget, that is, many who don’t believe in hell, judgment, sin, or even God, and that is the nations are not in control. The one who governs is in control. Whose that you ask? Need I say, well here it is!  What occurs will be in the hands of Almighty God, the LORD! In the end, there is no man, woman, or child that can keep alive their own soul. All is in the hands of this God. Even nations cannot keep their own soul, when the governor of the nations has sent down judicial judgments upon it. Surely, if you don’t know it by now, it has already been sent! That doesn’t mean the end tomorrow, but it means, all that is in this nation will be subject to and affected by the Word of the LORD that has gone out in regard to America.

Psalms 22:28  For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.
29  All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul

There was another time when “hell came knocking”. Jesus was in the wilderness and after a 40 day fast and prayer, the enemy showed up. Hell itself dressed in subtlety, the devil saith to the Lord; “All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.” All of the nations, the men, the thrones, the gold, silver, armies, and all the glory that a man or even a woman could obtain belong to the devil, according to his word anyway! Now you who are believers, know today that things are different. That in fact, the LORD destroyed all the power of this evil one and brought down all principalities and powers.  All in one fell swoop that began before the foundation of the world.

Colossians 2:15  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Ephesians 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

But make no mistake here, the devil was the chief opposition to the freeing of man from sin, death, and the grave. Not to mention, that many men and women today are also the chief opponent to the freeing of mankind from their sins.  That is why today, as it was in Jesus time, “hell came knocking”, not to really win, for I believe the devil knew all along he would not win. The idea was to see this one who called himself the “Son of God” and challenge him. Maybe he could get lucky again, like when he deceived Eve and thus brought down both Adam and Eve with one fell temptation. Nevertheless, it really doesn’t matter whether the devil knew he could win or not. The fact was, he was used of God to demonstrate power and authority. The devil was one of the main principals that Jesus “spoiled” having made a “shew openly of them”.  The battle was not even close, the devil lost scoring not a point to his side.  Today, though, his lies and his minions who follow him have succeeded in scoring victories in the world. These have been to bring the battle of the “faith of the Gospel” and the “kingdom of our Lord” to a forefront. The devil will and has come knocking again. This time, he has won over America. Maybe not lock, stock, and barrel so to speak. But he has “powers in the high places” of this nation. Men and women who are sold out to his ways, for gain, glory, and led by a blindness that only God can remove. As you and I walk in the faith of the Lord and follow him, those in power in this nation are already making plans to shut up the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his followers.

Ephesians 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Within this is the media. Examples of what I speak about can be found on our www.ddayforamerica.com, video blog. Here we have many short video’s of news, and related clips of people that have their purposes to follow. For example one post is of ABC News which recently did a 20/20 special titled “Islam: Questions and Answers,” with Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and Lama Hasan. The program drew attention to moderate Muslims who will serve as America’s “first line of defense” against terrorism. The problem was that one major Muslim they portrayed was on video time and again on the streets of America denouncing our country and speaking of Islam.

In another example we have Robert Steele, a CIA Officer who tells it like it is
on the New world order, government, secrecy, congress, conspiracies, central banking, and Military Industrial complex. In it he warns us of America, the government, the CIA, and the New world order. In still another post we feature Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT), who had just released a video showing 6th graders from Wellesley, MA as they rise from prostrating themselves alongside Muslim men in a prayer to Allah while on a public school field trip to the largest mosque in the Northeast. Teachers did not intervene. Parents have not been told. While Christians can barely speak of Christ, testify, and read bibles, let alone have the Ten commandments in public, our nation and schools are indoctrinating kids to Islam.  Finally,[and this is not all that we have], here is one more example. It is found on our www.wingswatchman.org site. It features a very short clip, under one minute and it features Anjem Choudary saying to a forum sponsored by a UK media with Christiane Amanpoure on it, saying that the “Flag of Islam will fly over the White House.”

You see “When Hell comes knocking” and it already has, your world, not only in America, but the nations of men themselves shall be engulfed in it. When this occurs, the question needs to be asked, what about you? What are you going to do? What will be your answer to the many warnings of which we and others have spoken.

We have been warning for years. The first time I spoke about what was coming to this nation was to my wife around 1973 when I told her of a series of visions I had as a young man. The full extent was not known then, only that “life as we knew it in America would cease.” Not that life, or man would cease, but that life as we Americans knew it, would no more exist. This is just one aspect of what we warn today, but the substance of what we have been warning is knocking on the doors of your house. They are shouting through the airwaves and coming into your home via television, radio, and shortwave. You read their stories, voices, and their messages in the news.

Yet for all this, I believe the listeners fall into these camps. The first camp are the ones who know it is coming. They are preparing both spiritually and physically. They know to make it, it will be by the Grace of the LORD and his provision. The second camp are those who can be called believers, and may or not be actually born again, but they either think they will be gone at the time of this or they think it will not occur till the very end of all things prophetic. Then there are those who don’t think this will occur at all.  These are the main camps of those who live today, spread in these are smaller groups of varied philosophies and persuasions on this matter.

One thing for sure, it is coming and to this, we must also be sure, that the Lord is the key and who is the Lord to you? For me, it is Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach. He is the only begotten of the Father. He came to this earth, revealed the Love of the Father, fulfilled prophecy and the law, did many miracles, testified to the generation, was cruelly treated, even to death, the death of the cross. Was buried, rose again, and ascended to heaven and is on the right hand of the Father. He is coming soon again to establish the Throne of David, and the Kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 15:3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5  And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6  After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7  After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8  And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

It is to this I testify and will continue to testify to all men as God gives me strength. For the kingdom builders and the men who build them hate the LORD. They hate that there is only One Savior between God and man. That savior, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach, the only begotten of the Father. They hate that “all men have sinned” and thus need a savior. They hate that there is a hell and know by themselves they cannot make heaven. But they continue in their delusion.

Today, there are many religions with their own brand of ‘Savior’ with people who wait for them. One of these kingdoms, is the ‘Islamic Madhi’. It is their belief in a one world Islamic sharia rule. They also believe it will become a real one world rule and very soon! In that rule, they see America and the ‘Madhi’s flag’ over the White House. What people don’t really know is, the “flag of Islam” already flies over the White House! I did a Newsletter on this some time back. In that kingdom, only their way counts. Anyone not making allegiance to their God will die!  Others believe in a ‘Catholic’ reign on earth, where the ‘Catholic church’ directed from the Vatican will rule all its children, the gentile churches. Still there are others who see man’s technology and mans knowledge as the true ‘heaven on earth’. It will be through man, they say, that the world will find peace, safety, and harmony. To this end, many plot to bring in their kingdoms on earth.

I do not plot. I know the Lord will bring in his Kingdom in a given time. When the “Kingdom and Patience” of the Lord has been fulfilled we will see it on this earth. I intend to stick to what I must do, keep his Word,  walk with Patience, and keep the faith of Jesus Christ. Even to the end. When Hell comes knocking what will I be doing?

Revelation 1:9  ¶I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

I intend to be praying, seeking the Lord, speaking his word of truth, and doing all I can to be accepted of him. To be found in him faithful. Do I worry, I try not. If my flesh thinks upon it, the flesh is weak and I rebuke it, then quote scripture. For I stand not upon Flesh and Blood, but upon the Word of God; the Son of God and his faithfulness.  For when the nations meet the Rock, the Stone which the builders rejected, it is the nations and the men in them that will lose. All those, however, who have put their hope in him, shall be with him, in his kingdom, forever.
So when Hell comes knocking, remember these words, “faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” What will he do?  “The Lord will preserve your whole spirit and body and soul unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23  ¶And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24  Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Ephesians 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places
