With all that is going on today it is easy to get mad! But today I tell you “Don’t get Mad, Get G-d!”. I don’t mean just any mamby pamby god.  I mean G-d the Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is the ‘mystery of ages’ and has come!

Photo of  “prison rail cars”  rolling to its destination. Such evidence is seen all over america as people more and more are asking why our government needs such things as these. Remember WWII and the imprisonment of the Japanese?  In perspective such prison rail cars for transporting large groups of hostiles from one place to another. From one city to a closer ‘prison camp’! Today we are not at war with Americans, or are we?  Many questions are asked, but none to few answers are forthcoming.  If you are looking for Truth and truthful answers, we have our Lord and he is the “way, the TrUth, and th eLife”. TrUth has ‘U’ in it!

John 14:5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8  Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Don’t get fear either, get trust in our G-d, who is able to keep you from falling as Jude says in summing up his epistle!

Jude 1:24  Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25  To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

But this kind of faith and trust can only come when ‘U’ are in the ‘TrUth’ of Jesus Christ and his Father.  The whole world can have a panic attack, in fact scripture says  Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”-Luke 21:26. It is the natural man, those in the world who cling to their idols, gold, silver, nations, churches, false religions and saviors, that will experience this ‘failing of hearts’. But for those who are the ‘U’, in ‘TrUth’ of Christ, they have the ‘peace of G-d’ and his Word as assurance. We are in Him, who is able to keep us, and even if we should perish from this mortal coil of perditious trouble in the world, we have hope, salvation, and glory awaiting us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus Christ is the only Way of Salvation, the ‘Truth’ of G-d who came to reveal our Fathers Love. It is this G-d and Father who loved us so much as to deliver us from death and the grave. The power of G-d in us through Jesus Christ, with the promises of G-d in our hearts, powered by his Spirit, the Ruach Chodesh, will finds us in his arms even in trouble in the world. It is that ‘light’, the Christ, the Messiach, Yeshua, Jesus who has come to reveal what ‘True Light’ really is. The enemy has plenty of delusions and lies, but he cannot touch our G-ds power, love, might, honor, strength, wisdom, and salvation for the beloved.

This is ‘TrUth’ my friends. ‘YoU’ are in his declaration, His Word, and in His promises. We are in troubled times, but we are not to be troubled. The world may be mad, or even make us mad. But we need not be mad, instead, “Don’t get mad, Get G-d”.  Same as Fear, the world may be fearful, worried, and uncertain about tomorrow, but we know who holds tomorrow. It is high time we as the ‘people of G-d, the bride of Jesus Christ’ started believing and walking in the power and purpose of Him who has called us to Salvation and Glory in Christ Jesus. We are in the world, the world better not be in us or our hearts. We are his light, his salt, and as such, our voices and faith should ring out against the corridors of every nation, every government, and every leader that we stand for Christ, and Christ is G-d, and in Him is Salvation! He is coming back to establish the Throne of David. He will make us Kings and Priests to our G-D!  It is these truths that should hit all who hear us or oppose us. Our voices and witness needs to be clear, loud, consistent, and with power hitting those who hear us smack dab in their heart and spirit.

Revelation 3:21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne

Revelation 5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth

Today, if you will hear His voice, ‘harden not your hearts’, this is what the world needs to hear! He is alive, we are his children. They may hate us, beat us, imprison us, or kill us, but we will only go as our G-d leads or directs us. We are his, as such, nothing will happen without his commandment.

Hebrews 3:15  While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Hebrews 4:7  Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day If ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

It is also true today that for the world, RedeeMEr, as ‘ME’ in it. The redeemer of mankind, Jesus Christ, has already come to the earth to redeem men unto G-d through his work on the cross. It is this ‘blood of the covenant’ shed for their sins that will bring them out of desolation and destruction to our G-d the Father of all mercies and hope. For you and I, we already know ‘
Christ died for ME!’ So our ‘ReedeeMEr’ and Savior is Christ, we believe and have received him. As with Job, we can say this “I know my redeeMEr liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.”  Further Job said, ‘after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see G-d.” Now that is faith! You know this man knew his G-d!

Job 19:25  For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26  And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God

Finally my friends remember also that ‘FaIth’ has ‘I’ in it! If we are truly born of God, then we will overcome the world. The victory that enables and ensures this is our ‘FaIth’. That ‘FaIth’ is solidly rooted in the ‘I’, which is you and “I” who believe that Jesus is the Son of G-d! For this scripture says, is the ‘victory that overcometh the world, even our FaIth’.

1 John 5:4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Today, my friends it is raining. Troubles are all over the world. Israel is in the center of it, as America strikes her hand to control and manage it all. Our leaders are deluded, the system is broken, and the world is heading to chaos. But we have the victory that ‘overcomes the world, even our “FaIth”, believing and trusting in this fact: JESUS CHRIST is the Son of God, the Only begotten of the Father, full of Grace and Truth, and he alone is the Savior of all the world.

Be found in him, our Savior.

Lamentations of America

A Psalm By the Watchman
Dana G Smith
Keywords: America, lament, G-d, deliverance, anguish, sins, Jesus Christ

Psalms 2:1  ¶Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

I watched it,
I am living it,
Yet at times, it is hard to behold!
Like the death of a friend,
So too, is the America I grew up in.

Enemies have done this,
Yet, they are here because of sin.
Yea, because of our sins,
We are stubborn, proud, and rebellious.
We hate righteousness as we serve our idols.
We loathe the G-d of righteousness,
As we embrace the god of this world!
Psalms 2:4  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Many if not all, are blinded,
Done so by their own conceit!
Too proud to admit wrong!
Too busy to look up!
Too set on the error of their ways!

The People look to many things.
They have the appearance of righteousness.
They hope, though, in things other than this G-d!
Some hope in riches to save them.
Some hope in their churches to save them.
Some hope still in America to save them.
Some, meanwhile, hope in man.

Psalms 2:6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7  ¶I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

But I hope in the G-d of Jacob, the G-d of Abraham, The G-d of Isaac,
The Father of the blessed One, who provided Salvation through  Jesus Christ,
Yeshua Ha Massiach, his only begotten Son as the Savior of the world, and it is in his Son
do I hope, believe, trust, and follow!

Again, let me refrain, I hope in the Father, the L-rd G-d;
And in his Son, the savior of all men, Jesus Christ!

We have gone astray and do not see;
They hope in deliverance,
They will see anguish,
For they hope in vanity and in lies do they trust!
Arise from your deceit, shake it off.

For surely this is a warning and a cure,
Lest you come close to our G-d and his son
You will perish,
Therefore;
Shake off the slumber,
For the Harlot has taken over,
She is established,
She is not your friend!

Psalms 2:8  Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10  ¶Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

She will make war.
She will destroy.
She will kill with death,
All who oppose her.

She revels in drunkenness.
She drinks your blood,
Yea, she bathes in it,
From darkness has she come,
Death is in her.

Make peace with her if you dare.
For her end is misery and death.
She hates the L-rd G-d of truth and righteousness.
She rejects his reign,
She hates his children,
She will kill, steal, and destroy!

I have seen and beheld.
I have warned.
You have not listened.
You argue in repeated terms of mans wisdom,
You sit in the place of your own idea’s,
Your belief in the wisdom that you perceive to be true,
You follow men who themselves are deluded, yet you are blind!

Psalms 2: 11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

This is your downfall,
You reject the L-rds warning,
You reject the L-rds call!
Because of this, unless you repent,
You will find anguish, misery, and in the end death.

But those who have called upon the L-rd our G-d,
Believing in son Yeshua, Jesus Christ,
Yea and have walked in his ways,
Keeping his word in faith and obedience,
Yea, they will find shelter in Him,
In the trusted One, whose arms gather and protect.
