The Day of the LORD, it has Come!

The Day when judgment comes, upon the city, nation, and people!

The “naked indifference’ of a society and a people to the things of God, i.e. “ to his laws, to his ordinances, and to his warnings of the Wrath to come.”

I stood in the hall of the Hospital as he approached. He was an older man, graying hair that formed into a pony tail in the back. He came directly to me. As He came up, he spoke as if he knew I was a believer. After some small talk about seeing me around, he said, “I died and went to heaven. I stood in front of the throne, there was God the Father and Jesus on standing on the side of him.” He told me of his wife and her trouble with collapsed lungs. “The Lord told me I would never again be sick” he said looking me in the eye. “Did you know that Jesus never did say he was God?” He waited for a response as I looked him in the eye. “You can look it up, nowhere does he say, he was God!” After a few seconds, he took off, as quick as he came up to me. I saw him only once more while I was there, but he did not give me a second glance. Now while many people such as this one have had a dream or experience, the truth is revealed in scripture. It is our final source of authority. What is written and who writes it, and under what inspiration is it? The Word of God, given to us, through the Prophets and Apostles, are given as a record and testimony to the Christ, the Son of God. It is this authority, written under God-breathed inspiration to us which should formulate for us as to what is true or not. It is not to be dictated by a dream, vision, or even a miracle we may see.

The Testimony of Christ, What did he say?

I have heard others use that same phrase, “Jesus never did say he was God”, to say Jesus was not God. There is no doubt that some people do not understand how to begin with this idea. First, let me say, Jesus did not come to testify that he was God, only that he was the Son of God, revealing the Father. Second let me also say, the word Jesus is our English transliteration for the greek is IESOUS and is the Hebrew Yehoshua or Yeshua, meaning ‘Yahweh saves’. Christ (Christos) is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew Messiah, Massiach or Mashiah, meaning ‘anointed’. So if you were on the streets of Jerusalem and saw a young preacher who many thought was the ‘anointed one’, they would not call him Jesus, nor would he respond to your calling him Jesus. That said, today in the English speaking world, we call the Jewish Messiah, the son of David, the son of God, Jesus. His Hebrew title would be Yeshua HaMassiach or Ha Massiah, meaning “Yahweh saves’, the anointed one.

Jesus did tell the Jews in John Eight, verse twenty-four b, saying “ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” In this passage, Jesus was directly referring to the prophets who spoke of the coming Messiah. In looking at this, let us see first what the Apostle John had to say about this Christ, the son of God. John describes, as does the Apostle Paul of Jesus being at the beginning of Creation, and not only being there, but instrumental in its creation.

John 1:1  ¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In the above phrase the Apostle John uses the verbage ‘Word’, and capitalizes its first letter. The verbage ‘Word’ is used three times in the first sentence of John as an introduction to those who would read it and what the gospel of John would be about. The apostle flatly states in the first sentence and uses the verbage ‘Word’ as a proper name or title. This book, John wrote is about the ‘Word’ being made flesh. It is about the anointed one, the Christ. Thus, the verbage ‘Word’ is a title of Christ, and is capitalized meaning a proper name.

Thus emphasizing the diety of Christ and communication of who God is and what he is like. [Strongs 3056.]

The Apostle John says in chapter one, verse one “theos en ho logos”, meaning that the Logos or Word is God. In This first glimpse of the testimony of John, we find that the Word is God. Again let me emphasize that the verbage ‘Word’ is capitalized, meaning a name. It is a title, describing that the Word was with God in the very beginning, the Word was God, and nothing was made without him. God the Father, created all things, through the Word, whom we know as Christ Jesus. This alone makes the divinity of Christ as God a legitimate aspect of his being. That said, while he was God, he was also man.

John further recounts his testimony in his first epistle referring to Christ, as being “that which was from the beginning.” It was Christ, John refers to as also saying the one “which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the Word of life.” This powerful testimony directly relates to John the first chapter.

1 John 1:1  ¶That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2  (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
3  That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul calls him “the first born of all creation” Col 1:15. From the Messianic verse found in Psalms 89:27, which states “Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.”

The title “first born” does not mean that Christ himself was the first one created; what the title does mean is that Christ, existing as he did before all creation, exercises the privilege of primogeniture [Right of inheritance belongs exclusively to the eldest son] as the Lord of all creation, the divinely appointed heir of all things. [Lectures in Systematic Theology, Thiessen, p209]

Hebrews 1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
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:
John 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
1 Corinthians 8:6b one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Colossians 1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

I Saw and Bore Record

The Messiah

“A dynamic testimony for anyone would be able to say, ‘I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God,’ but for us today, we live by faith and have not seen personally this Son of God, but we still believe, based on this testimony and others like it. For with this testimony, and the work of the Spirit of God, the anointing breaks open the darkness in our hearts to let in the light of the Gospel, the good news of salvation. That good news is, God sent forth his Son to save sinners, of which, I am; but thanks to God, through the ‘Lamb of God, I now have been rescued by the ‘blood of the covenant’.  God has also given us his Spirit, which bears witness in our hearts, that we are the children of God! ”

John 1:34  And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

Romans 8:16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

1 John 5:6  ¶This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

There are so many passages in the Word of God that stand out to me. The Word of God, reveals to us the very heart of God. Through His Spirit, it is made real, with the anointing that the Word has in itself.  One passage, or should I say section of scripture stands out today as I write this. I read this, say this, and meditate on it. It is the first thirty four verses of John.

We find that John writes of the ‘logos’, the eternal Word made flesh. Jesus, Yeshua, the Son of God was in the Word or ‘logos’ in the beginning, the Word or ‘logos’ with God, and the Word or ‘logos’ was God. John points out in these verses that the Word here, used three times in the first sentence was ‘in the beginning with God’. He uses that thought twice in two verses. He makes sure, led by the Holy Spirit to pin point what the whole ‘testimony’ will be about that he is writing. He is not just writing about a carpenters son born in Israel at the time of the Roman occupation. He is writing about the ‘Word or Logos’, the only begotten Son of God. The Man, and he uses the delineation of “by him”, “without him”, “In him”, was life and this life was the light of men!

The One who was God, was with God and all things were made by him. He created in the beginning as the ‘Son of God’, who God the Father worked with calling all things into existence.  Now the very One in the beginning was coming as ‘the only begotten of the Father’, full of ‘grace and truth’, revealing his glory to all. Now coming to Man whom he created, man received him not. Now coming to Israel whom God chose, his own rejected him But here John puts in a caveat Those who did receive, believe on, trust in, and follow, to these, “he gave the power and right to become the children or sons of God.”  It is a process where human efforts fail. Human religious expression fail. Human exercises in good will and works fail. All fail, for man was under the law condemned. Man was in sin, missing the mark, now the Son of God, the ‘lamb of God’, would take away that sin. He was on a mission for his Father, directed by the fullness of the Spirit, anointing, and the Father himself, Jesus Christ was, is, and always will be the ‘life’ which gives ‘light’. Note here that in him was ‘life’, that is, to bring to ‘life’ that which is decaying, going to die, and under penalty of death. To redeem them from a curse, from the devil, from themselves. He had ‘life’ in himself to do this. To give life, bring life, establish life, and to allow that life to shed ‘light’ on the darkened hearts of men and women so they would see the heavenly truth of Love. The love of the truth that the Father, our God, so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever would believe on him [trust in , rely on, cling too] would not perish but have everlasting life [read whole context of John 3]. So important is this ‘love of the truth’ that in the last days the whole delusion upon the earth is a ‘society that has rejected the love of the truth’ and therefore God will send them a delusion so they will believe a lie [read 2 Thess 2] .

This testimony of John called the Gospel of John, or the good news of John, is meant to bring forth the ‘testimony’ of John and those things he saw, heard, and experienced with the Word or ‘logos’, the ‘Lamb of God’, the ‘Son of God’, the carpenters son of Joseph and Mary, the Son of God, the Son of Joseph, the line of David, the Branch of Judah. What especially points us to who this One is and always will be is the testimony of John the Baptist.

The Prophets of God spent time with the Lord God. Many times their messages were tough and hard, meant to bring Revelation truth to those they were sent. This truth as in the case of Israel was to bring them to repentance before God, so they would not see his wrath. They were in personal contact with the Lord God. They knew his presence, his voice, and the power of His Spirit.  Thus, what they received, came not by man, but from God himself in direct revelation. So too, did John the Baptist. John was the cousin of Jesus, Yeshua, but the God who had sent him to baptize did not tell him it would be your cousin who is the Son of God, the one who Baptizes in the Holy Spirit. He told him the one whom you see the Spirit of God descending like a Dove from heaven and resting upon, staying there, is he who Baptizes with the Holy Spirit, the Son of God.

On two fronts God moved. Upon John the Baptist to be baptizing in Jordan directed by God to be a witness to what God was doing. By doing so, Men and women, boys and girls could see and hear first hand of what God was going. Israel, the religious Jews, and all others would have a solid testimony of two or three  witnesses according to law. Meanwhile, Jesus directed by His Father and the Spirit, went also to Jordan to be baptized, fulfilling all righteous requirements before God at this time. He appeared as Jesus, Yeshua, the carpenters Son, who preaches and left with a solid witness of being the “Lamb of God” that taketh away the sins of the World and “the beloved Son of God”. Here we find the voice of the Father saying “thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”, plus the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and the Son of God himself. This is a picture of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, along with the testimony of John the Baptist, the Father, and the visible testimonial sign of the Spirit of God. All of these plus the witness of the crowd around them who saw and heard these things form an undeniable testimonial as to veracity of the Father whom sent the ‘Son of God’.

Mark 1:9  ¶And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10  And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11  And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

One poignant verse in this, although, there are many; is verse 34 of John 1, which says “ And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” This man, a prophet of God, says he saw all this, he saw the Son of God, he further puts it on record that the one whom he baptized that day was in fact the one and only, ‘Begotten Son of God.’ This man, again a prophet, one in whom is the Spirit of God, who receives direct revelation from God, was told whom it was that God had sent!  I mean can you even think about this for a moment. He stood there, knee or waist deep in water flowing, called the Jordan. He had been baptizing people, after they heeded his call for ‘repentance’. He looks up and see’s his cousin standing there, then suddenly a dove descends and lights upon his head, but this was not a bird, but the Holy Spirit. Then a voice booms out of nowhere, “Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” He was literally baptizing the One who was in the beginning with God, and was God, and all things were created through Him. This is awesome and a powerful picture. This is an outstanding testimony as well!

One day, we too shall see this one whom John baptized and testified that “this is the Son of God.” We also will say on that day, “this is the Son of God, I have been waiting for Him, he will save us”, for we will see him as he is! In all his glory! Just the thought of all of it should give us hope. For many of us, we have more work to do for him. We overcame by the ‘blood of the Lamb’, and also by our own ‘Testimony of Jesus’, but added to that is the fact as his followers, we in love keep his Word, obeying his instructions to us, his commandments, loving not our lives to the death.

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

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

“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

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

Watchman Nwsltr-080110-A House Divided
“It is true, a house or kingdom divided cannot stand, take heed therefore where you stand in this, lest ye fall”

By the Watchman
Dana G Smith

Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

A House Divided
“It is true, a house or kingdom divided cannot stand, take heed therefore where you stand in this, lest ye fall”

I take a deep breath, heave a little, sigh some as I write this, knowing the full measure of what is coming. What is coming is judgment, yet, over the years all the warning has fallen on many deaf ears. Our Lord warned us by his Spirit saying to us; “let those that hear, hear what the Spirit sayeth to the churches.” Jesus said it this way “let those that hear, let him hear”. It is hard to believe at times the trouble which is upon the nations and even in America. Many believers in church denominations, fellowships, and groups don’t really believe what is coming will bring with it death, plagues, destruction, and more upon America. Here I speak specifically to America and her ‘ecclesia’ the called out ones. I speak to both denominations and anyone else who is a follower of and pledges allegiance to our Savior and Lord.

Matthew 13:9  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 11:17  But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

In America we have a propensity to become divided. This is seen through the myriad of denominations, name classifications of believers: i.e. Christian, believer, Baptist, Pentecostal, catholic, and much more. Matter of fact I suppose the number of denominations are so massive and unless one has a thorough record of them, this number would be unknown to many. But suffice to say, safely speaking that is, there are probably by anyone’s guess, tens of thousands of such denominations in the church realm in America today.

Over the years I have seen Christians pledge themselves to friendship, loyalty, and to love each other. I have witnessed them praying and weeping at the altar on Sunday nights, then a short time later we find them in the midst of gossip, back biting, and even holding grudges against each other. Christians wearing their feelings on their sleeves, many still carnal and having no root, become bitter, full of hate, and even leave the faith all together because of what they find in church. We personally have seen Christians love us and then go behind us to backbite us or talk about us in a personally hurtful way.  This has also been the norm for others we have come in contact with. Only in America can one call himself a Christian while at the same time playing headmaster in the throne room of judging each another. Only an American Christian and I believe this also goes for many other believers in other nations can say “I love you”, while holding a knife to the persons back.

I write this today to let you know, “my brethren” this ought not to be so! It is hard to figure this in America except to say, the ‘glory’ has departed from the midst of the churches for the most part. The lack of conviction by the Holy Spirit in a church is one reason we see this. The lack therefore is due to lack of prayer, fasting, reading and obeying Gods word. Many Christians today are in sad lack of true knowledge of holiness, and find themselves in that category of ‘no root’ in the faith. All the devil has to do is stir up the ‘tares’ in many congregations today and they take care of the rest. Many times we blame Satan for the troubles in the churches. Satan is not the problem, the lack of belief, and not being where we are supposed to be. I.E., in Christ, for he said in John “without me you can do nothing.” Its hard to figure from any standpoint unless you’re a tare that it is okay to say you love someone while trashing them at the same time.

John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

I have heard from people as they talk to me, “I consider you my Pastor”. Those are dangerous words as there were those who believed Jesus was the good shepherd and the Messiah. One week they escorted him in victory through the streets of Jerusalem praising God as he went. Shortly after that, they were shouting for his death, saying “his blood be on us and on our children”.

Matthew 27:25  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

I have seen experienced deacons, pastors, head pastors, senior pastors, evangelists, and normal everyday believers all go through this. Yet as I write this the church in many corners of the world considers herself an ‘overcomer’ and headed for ‘victory’. At the same time, they declare power, healing virtue, and look for signs and wonders to be done in Jesus name. But yet, these same people walk the plank of an idealistic attitude that claims the promises of God for power and authority but rejects the cross that brought it to us. The deny his very name by crossing over into the alleys of judgment and crossing the streets of pride.

I tell you today that the church is divided and it will not stand. But then I hear those voices screaming to me from the very streets who ran joyously around our Lord declaring him to be the “coming Messiah”, and they are crying “crucify him.” The church doesn’t want to hear it. Christians don’t believe it. Some understand what I say, but to everyone I say, “Let him who has ears to hear, let him hear.” The truth is, the Lord will call out from among those groups who say they are followers of our Lord, only those who truly listen and do what he says. The time is short and the “judgment will begin at Gods house.” The Lord of glory will not put up with his sheep crucifying one another. He will put an end to those who are “biting and devouring each another.”

It is our Lord who will see to it, that the royal law will be met, that is “love thy neighbor as thyself.” It will not be a law that says, “I love you, while plotting evil the next day.” It is a law fulfilled by walking in the Spirit and seeing the fruits fulfilled in your life.

Galatians 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

In America we have had the flesh crucify the things of the Spirit. Divisions, backbiting, lusting, decadence, immorality, splits, divisions, and in spite of this, we still claim to be the ‘church’ God has called us to be. Yes, I know we are not perfect, but please, it is as if we are so accustomed to it, as the adage goes, “we cannot see the forest for the tree’s”.

We are divided over doctrines, church names, whether you think sister this or brother that is a real Christian, or whether you can find a way to get back at the person who offended you and still be a good Christian.  It has become so ludicrous today that people come and go from churches, fellowships, and anywhere else so called believers gather. They come and go because they are like gnats caught in a wind. If the wind is down, they buzz around your head for awhile, light quickly, and then they are off. When a wind comes up, they are pushed to the next place. All the while when the wind quits, they again find somewhere to light.  They come and go, never getting true biblical foundations nor walking as true grounded believers. Then when trouble comes, they blame the devil. Now I know the devil is a liar and causes trouble, but the real trouble is not the devil, it is us. We simply do not listen. We don’t listen to the Word of God. We don’t listen to the Spirit of God. We don’t listen to anointed messengers giving the anointed word of God. In short, we will only listen as long as it doesn’t get too uncomfortable. If it gets that way, we leave!

A true Spirit filled church will be have people who know the true convicting power of the Holy Ghost and fire. They will know and are familar with weeping, seeking the LORD, and praying till they get through. They walk in faith, trusting God. If they find themselves in trouble, surrounded by enemies, or if they just need something, these people know how to seek God to find an answer. Their sleeves are for shirts, not their feelings. Their love is for all people, and even if they are hurt, they still love. They leave the judgment to God and seek him for understanding a matter.

I have seen so called Christians judge ministries and minsters harshly. I have been to web sites where the one who puts up this trash spends their time reporting all the false prophets. When you read the names on the list, the only name they are missing is theirs. Everyone else is a false prophet, wrong, or just in trouble by this persons standards. I have seen people trash a ministry that has been faithful for decades. They did so just because they could not accept what they did or said in regards to ministry practice or doctrine. They spent less than an hour or two in the presence of this or that ministry and they have a person judged, convicted, and sent to hell on their say so alone. Oh, yes they can find a scripture to match their belief’s.  They can justify their way about them, but I ask you, do you think this is just a small matter. I say NO! I have seen it for years and years!

Be warned, which is forearmed, The Lord will judge people for this. With the same measure, you mete, it will be meted to you!

Matthew 7:2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

The truth is, the Lord will remove this from his church. He will remove those who do it. They will belong to the first church of immorality. But for those who keep his word, walk in his ways, and keep his faith and testimony, he will bring unto himself. For everyone in the church, understand the judgment is beginning with us! I mean real judgment! You think you will escape to some foo foo land where all is peaceful and pretty while you have defiled yourselves in this way.  The truth lies here, in the word, “if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” Or this word that says “what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”

1 Peter 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

2 Peter 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11  ¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Moreover, let me also say, the Lord God gave us a clue as to what his church was like. Here it is!

John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Love, it is more than a word, it is a command, an experience. It says to the flesh and the pride, be off with you. I know the true wisdom and your wisdom is fleshly and contaminates my soul. You are of your boss the devil. It comes from the bonds of the fruits of the flesh. There are those who know this, that the Love wherewith God calls us too is beyond what the carnal church can even understand. It is beyond a harlot church that finds solice in the flesh. This is about those who have God’s love spread abundantly in their hearts by the Holy Ghost within them. It is about those who love more than others hate. They understand more than they will criticize, and see the Jesus in people more than the devil.  I know this sounds high and lofty, but it is not! It is brought to by the very Lord who bought us with his blood shed on the cross for our sins. He loved us so much he died. The Father loved us so much he sent his only begotten Son to redeem us!

Finally, if you are truly a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, hear this word. Many Jews followed Jesus for they saw the signs and wonders he did. They listened to his words of authority as he taught the crowds. But even though they heard him, he said to them all, even to those who believed on him, “if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” To be truly free, to truly know the truth, and to have that truth set you free, well this comes only from one thing! Yes, according to the Lord, “you must continue in his word”

Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, if you continue in my word!

John 8:31  ¶Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Hear the Word of God and do it!

Luke 8:21  And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

Having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience!

Luke 8:15  But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience
