THEMES FOR THE WEEK (Weekly Index for easy reference)
September

1.
“I am set forth to be a PREACHER...” The
Herald-er--Proclaim-er Vested With Authority From The KING.
A.
2Ti
1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a
teacher of the Gentiles
B.
“Keryx”; Greek word translated as “preacher”
in 2Tim 1:11.
C. Authorized speaker, proclaimer of the message
of God to a specific audience.
1)
a herald or messenger vested with public authority, who conveyed the
official messages of kings, magistrates, princes, military
commanders, or who gave a public summons or demand, and performed
various other duties. In the NT God's ambassador, and the herald or
proclaimer of the divine word
D.
“Preacher” has come to have a negative connotation in my
opinion. Preachers have a long history of being men who spoke with an
affectatious religious sound but had too much of the time no power or
authority in what they spoke. A preacher, in the scriptural sense, is
a person who is authorized with power and authority to speak on
behalf and in the name of Jesus Christ the King of Kings.
A

Lexicon--"keryx"
translated as PREACHER 2Tim 1:11 1) a herald or messenger vested with
public authority, who conveyed the official messages of kings,
magistrates, princes, military commanders, or who gave a public
summons or demand, and performed various other duties. In the NT
God's ambassador, and the herald or proclaimer of the divine
word.
E.
The Proclaimers of the Word of God are speaking the Word of God and
not man's words.
F. Paul was “appointed” or set,
fixed
2.
Again, What Is A Watchman Of The LORD?
A.
Eze
3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning
from me.
B.
A watchman is made by
God.
Man does not make himself a watchman.
C. A watchman hears the
word, the message, from
the
mouth of God. He does not make it up or conjecture based on his
natural senses. Recently I heard a radio personality state he was a
watchman of the LORD and he analyzed the past to determine the
future. THAT IS NOT A WATCHMAN!
D.
A watchman warns those he is sent to warn authorized from the Lord
Himself.
E. In the last days, the LORD has said that His
watchmen will see eye to eye.
Isa
52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together
shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall
bring again Zion.
3.
“WARN” Them From Me. Scriptures Call To Warn, Exhort,
Admonish, Reprove, And Rebuke
A.
As I was sleeping one night this week, this is what came to me.
“Warn”.
I looked up this word. I was recalling in the
night that we are told to warn in many instances. Warn the
wicked. Warn the rich. Warn.
Eze
33:7 So thou, O son 1121 of man 120, I have set 5414 thee a watchman
6822 unto the house 1004 of Israel 3478; therefore thou shalt hear
8085 the word 1697 at my mouth 6310, and warn 2094 them from me.
1Th
5:14 Now 1161 we exhort 3870 you 5209, brethren 80, warn 3560 them
that are unruly 813, comfort 3888 the feebleminded 3642, support 472
the weak 772, be patient 3114 toward 4314 all 3956 [men].
B.
Lexicon
("C" box on BlueLetterbible.org)to admonish, warn, teach,
shine, send out light, be light, be shining,,a) (Niphal) to be
taught, be admonished,,b) (Hiphil),,1) to teach, warn,,2) to shine,
send out light (fig.)
Isn't this very interesting? To "warn" is to admonish
yes; but it also indicates to "shine, to send out light".
It is the light of the Word of God. The light of the quickened
Rhema Word of God spoken from the mouth of God that all must eat.
We can not eat of bread alone, but we must eat every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God. The entrance of God's Word
gives light. So warn. Bring to light the truth to the
people. And as God told Ezekiel, speak what I command you.
Go where I send you and tell them for Me all that I bid you.
But do not fear them. Speak whether they hear or forbear.

4.
Radio Personalities Of Religious Themes Acting As Watchman: Watch
Out.
A.
My concern here is that too many professing Christians are taken in
by radio personalities that use a religious motif instead of being
authentic ministries of Jesus Christ.
B. There are many
personas masquerading as Prophets or Watchman who are not servants of
Jesus Christ. They serve their own belly as the scriptures outline.
They speak their own words, their own dreams and visions, their own
illusions most of the time. But there are also radio personalities
that use the “buzz words” of the true authentic message
such as repentance that I have previously described.
C. I am
urging again to watch out and beware of the Prognosticators. These
are they who focus on time lines and events and emphasize these
things over the true message of God and the gospel. Sometimes they do
not even mention Jesus or the gospel. Take note! How can a person
serve the Lord and not mention Him? It is so obvious it is quite
silly but if one does not have a true childlike sincere heart before
the Lord, they may lose the ability to discern.
D. “D”
for Duh Prognosticators. Their words most generally do not come to
pass. “Oops, how 'bout this one? Or this? Maybe this? Or could
it be that? They grab for straws and throw mud on the wall hoping
something sticks. This is not being a sanctified God fearing servant
of Jesus Christ.
E. The Guess-a-lot-ers. How many times have
you heard so-called prophetic talk surmising on things? 'This may
happen
or that?' This vein is feeding the fleshly desire of people who want
to be titillated and fascinated by the new and latest dream, prophecy
and vision. Ooooo.....so spooky.
F. The prophets speak from
the same Spirit, the same God, the same Lord. It is the same voice of
the LORD that the true prophets are speaking. It is His Word and not
this prophet's and that prophet's word as is commonly sold in
Apostasy-ville.
G. Make a distinction between true servants of
Christ from those who serve their own belly and self. Make a
distinction between he that speaks from the Lord from he that speaks
from his mind, seeing nothing, going—but not being sent by the
LORD. They went, says the LORD, but not by Me. They spoke, but spoke
a lying vision of their own imaginations. Be not deceived. This is
the hour of the lie. Believe not every spirit but try the spirits to
see if they are of God.
H. I have recently written about the
program where professing watchmen never mentioned Jesus once in an
hour, nor the gospel nor gave any scripture during an entire hour
long broadcast. While I am not stating they are false, I am stating
that this is a great error that will lead to becoming a false
ministry if one does not stay crucified to their flesh, humble and
obedient to the Lordship of Jesus, and seek to glorify Him and not
their own self.
I. A long time ago the Lord had shown me and
I had reported this to others in radio ministry that the prophets
will “drop off like flies” as they forsake the Lord and
became entangled and snared in the ways of the world and flesh. Some
secret sin can take away the heart from the first love Jesus and
corruption takes root. The Lord had shown me that these erring
“prophets” or watchman will “steal the word”
from other true prophetic voices. This is what Jeremiah has
prophesied.
Jer
23:30 ¶ Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith
the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour
and,
This
is what God says on this topic of the phoney prophet watchman that
steal the word and make up fanciful predictions, prognostications and
fascinate with their latest dream and vision: Jer 23:31 Behold, I
[am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues,
and say, He saith. Jer 23:32 Behold, I [am] against them that
prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my
people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them
not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people
at all, saith the LORD.
5.
The Sad Fact Of Poor Inadequate Teaching For Those In The Church
Land.
A.
Mistaught.
B. Not taught.
C. The Misguided Misled.
D.
Deceived on Purpose.
E. Don't rely on teachers. Sit under THE
Teacher Jesus Christ and draw on the Holy Spirit the spirit of truth.
F. He that is under a teacher is a “babe”, unskilled
in the word of righteousness and is on milk.
Grow
Up! Grow up in Jesus Christ. Hbr 5:12 ¶ For when for the time ye
ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which
[be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such
as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. Hbr 5:13 For every one
that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he
is a babe. Hbr 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of
full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern both good and evil.
6.
Sins Of The US Empire Against Its Own Citizens And Humanity.
A.
A
Compilation of Historic Testing the USA has done on people.
B.
The USA tests drugs and weapons on unsuspecting citizens: US
tested bio warfare weapons on SF citizens: Link
US
tests drugs on unsuspecting on its own military. History
C.
The USA tests weapons on its military.
D. "A
little LSD with your French Bread?" The USA tested LSD on French
citizens by dosing the bread.
E. The
USA tested syphilis on South Americans.
F.
The USA and its MK ULTRA madman experiments: Mind controlled assets
of the agency: MK
Ultra Mind controlled "assets of the alphabet agencies"
G.
“G” for the Nazi's response at Nuremberg trials. Why,
they said, the USA did these kind of tests after all---”G”...
Long
history of US experiments on people. Brothers to the Nazi madmen of
Hitler.
7.
The Wicked Plot Against The Just And Gnashes With Their Teeth...
A.
Psa
37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him
with his teeth. Psa 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth
that his day is coming. Psa 37:14 The wicked have drawn out the
sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy,
[and] to slay such as be of upright conversation. Psa 37:15 Their
sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be
broken. Psa 37:16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than
the riches of many wicked. Psa 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall
be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous
8.
Why Was John The Baptist Proclaiming The Message Of God From The
Wilderness?
A.
2,000 years ago God sent a man named John to prepare the way of the
Son of God. He ministered outside the religious system declaring the
call of God to repent and bring forth fruit worthy of repentance.
The
ministry of John the Baptist in the spirit of Elijah--preparing the
way of the coming of the Lord, the first time. A voice in the
wilderness, crying, decrying the Word of the LORD. NOTE: Matthew 3
B.
When the religious leaders the Pharisees and elders came to “sniff
out” John, he chided them and asked them who had warned them to
flee from the wrath to come(?).
C. The axe is now laid to the
tree that is not bearing fruit unto God and hewn down to be thrown
into the fire of eternal judgment.
D. Nothing is new under the
sun. The same is true today in the religious world. God is
ministering outside the religious order and institutions of religious
men.
E. God will still speak to the religious ones if they will
see and hear from Him then perhaps they may recover themselves from
the snare of the evil one. Jesus Himself ministered to Nicodemus a
leader of the Jews.
F. In recent days I shared with another
believer my concern for those in institutional Christianity. These
churches, ministries, organizations and such that are implementing
secular governmental input through their relationship as a “501c3”
tax status with the Internal Revenue Service, are in great jeopardy
before God. To do so, is to violate the Kingdom of God and its call
to serve the Lord in fear and submit totally to His Lordship. We can
not serve God and Caesar. We can not minister Caesar's word and God's
Word. These in these systems must choose who they will serve.
G.
Will it be Jesus Christ or the antichrist?
H. Today, I dare say
that leaders in Church land are either preparing the people for Jesus
Christ or the Antichrist. Whether you know it or not, you will take
one of these two powers as your lord. Are you looking for Jesus?
Those who are not looking for Jesus are already set up to find the
antichrist as their master. Herein is the great grieving of the
Spirit of God that has called the beloved to make ready for the
Bridegroom, yet the masses of the religious world have already left
the Lord in their hearts, minds and proven so by their lifestyle.
I.
“I” is for me. As for me and my house, I will serve the
Lord. I is for individual. You and I as individuals must serve the
Lord regardless what others about us do. We can not rely on a church
to serve the Lord. We can not depend on our spouses, our families,
neighbors or friends. It is up to each of us as an individual
disciple to follow the Lord regardless of the cost.
9.
The Scriptural Relationship With Israel And the Jews For
Christians.
A.
What saith the scriptures first and foremost?
B. What does
scripture say regarding “standing with Israel?”.
C.
How does a Christian “stand with Israel and the Jews”?
D.
Hope at the end for Israel, the Jews and Jerusalem. After the time of
the gentiles, those who do not remain in UNBELIEF...
E. What
was Jesus testimony regarding those who professed to be Abraham's
children?
F. The flesh profits nothing.
G. What was
Paul the apostle's testimony regarding his own countrymen that were
yet unrepentant and unbelieving?
H. Real Christians are of the
circumcision made without hands. A circumcision of the spirit and not
the flesh.
I. You must be born again. You must be born from
above to enter and see the Kingdom of God according to Jesus.
J.
Scriptural faith in Christ calls for the proclamation of the gospel
of Jesus to the Jews and the entire nations of the world.
K.
From what I wrote in an email today:
(answering a sincere
question)
No,
I do not believe it is "standing with Israel" when
professing Christians do exploits without ministering the gospel of
Jesus. I do not believe it is standing with Israel by doing
these exploits with iniquitous partnerships of unbelievers and
worldly schemes, that in reality, are antichrist in spirit, deed and
doctrine.
I agree with you that we "should morally stand
with Israel against attack". Yes, I agree with Romans 11
and understand this truth.
I believe what I am really
urging against is believers being caught up in a plot to synthesize
Christians in order to bring about a new synthesis and world agenda
that is antichrist. We should love Israel, pray for their
salvation, peace, and that they receive and believe on Jesus.
Today is my writing day and I got a bit long writing due to my desire
to express these things. I gently write you and encourage your
weighing of these things. I do believe that we are generally
saying the same thing. (Howse quotes UN leader Julius Huxley in
the 1940's who expressed the desire to 'take opposites, destroy them
and synthesize--blend them into a new synthesized belief. THIS
IS WHAT IS UNDERWAY WITH Rick Warren, Tony Blair, Rick Joyner, NAR,
Chuck Pierce, Emergent Christianity, IHOP, etal. They are
synthesizing and joining together with unbelievers. Wow.
They are not holding the "Head" Jesus Christ by which the
whole body is built up and nourished. So, they are broken off
and withering...deceiving and being deceived)
May
I encourage you to listen to the following audios?
(I am finding
God is further expanding my perception on what is transpiring in
these days. The LORD had showed me in 2005 (The ALARM) that the
government would place men as "ministers" and give them a
message that was not from God. The goal would be to corral the
minds of religious populace to bring them into their desired One
World Antichrist Government. Crowd Control. (Peter
Drucker and his influence)
This is why I am so against the
people that profess faith in Jesus to be joining with other people of
other gospels and Jesus' for the sake of politics and Americanism,
or, "standing with Israel". We are not to have
fellowship with darkness, nor associate with the wicked, and people
of other gospels. This is undermining the sanctity of
professing Christians and setting them up for deception.

ISRAEL and the Jews:
1. I sincerely pray
for Israel and the Jews that they will repent, receive and believe on
Jesus Christ the Messiah.
2. I believe as Romans 11 outlines
that they have a calling and election in which God will through
"mercy" graft them back into the "olive tree" "if
they remain not in unbelief". Ro 11:23
3. I do not hate
any people.
4. I believe God is not willing that any should
perish. It is God's will that the gospel of Jesus be proclaimed
unto all the world and to all the nations including Israel.
5. I
believe that Israel is largely unrepentant and still in unbelief and
have not believed in Jesus Christ who is the Door to the Father, who
is the only name in which we must be saved. He is the way, the
truth and the life and no one can find their way to the Father except
by Him. Jo 14:6.
6. I do
not believe
that it is right to oppose Israel or the Jews by any type of
persecution, harm or any manner of evil.
7. I do
not believe
that it is wise to participate in the mixed
bag political agendas
that
are more using religion for effect than authentic godly Kingdom of
God support for Israel. In other words, I believe the powers
that be that have an antichrist agenda for world government,
economics, religion, and societal control are more using religious
unsuspecting and undiscerning people for there own outcome. The
world and the political world has always used religious props for
visual effect such as the "big name" ministers. I do
not believe that is God's will for His disciples to be used in this
manner for evil or deceptive appearances. I believe we should
be separate to the Lord and proclaim His Word.
8. I
absolutely believe that the Word of God makes it clear what will
happen to Israel, the Jews, and these people as they continue to
resist the Spirit of God in believing the gospel of Jesus and His
Kingdom.
Dark
Days for Unrepentant Unbelieving Israel:
a.
Luk
23:28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. ,,, Luk
23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say,
Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps
which never gave suck. ,,, Luk 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to
the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. ,,, Luk 23:31
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in
the dry?
b.
Zec
12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
though
all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
,,, Zec 12:4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse
with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine
eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the
people with blindness. ,,, Zec 12:5 And the governors of Judah shall
say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my
strength in the LORD of hosts their God. ,,, Zec 12:6 In that day
will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the
wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all
the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and
Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in
Jerusalem. ,,, Zec 12:7 ¶ The LORD also shall save the tents of
Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of
the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against
Judah. ,,, Zec 12:8 In
that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and
he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the
house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before
them. ,,, Zec 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I
will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. ,,,
Zec 12:10 ¶ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of
supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,
and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son],
and
shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for
[his] firstborn.
1.According
to these two texts, it will be woeful for Israel with the armies of
the nations gathered against it. (Similar to what is going on
now in the Middle East. The same behind the scenes men and
their agenda will attempt to take Israel but the Lord will stop
it)
2.The Lord shall defend Israel against the armies of the
world who come against her. They shall behold the Lord Jesus
whom they pierced, mourn, repent and believe on Him. Praise
God!
Concluding:
I believe it is God's will for all
people to be saved through the gospel. I pray for Israel and
the Jews to be saved, repent, and have faith in Jesus. I
believe at the end, after the events outlined by Daniel and John in
Revelation, and of course all the prophets, that there will be great
things happening in Israel as God gets their attention. The
earthquake that kills 7,000 and they actually stop and give glory to
God!
They will experience the prophesy of the 2
witnesses though they resist. But when they are surrounded by
the world's armies, at the end of this age, the Lord Himself will
come with 10 thousands of His saints and make war against them.
They shall behold Him whom they pierced, mourning, repenting and
having faith. Praise God!
I believe that all
truth of God is a fine line truth. Adding, subtracting from the
Word of God is forbidden by God. Extremes to the left or to the
right are always error. So, we must have a true authentic
scriptural understanding of all things especially this issue of our
relationship with unregenerated natural Israel and the Jews.
The flesh profits nothing according to Jesus and Paul. A Jew is
one inwardly. We are of the circumcision of the Spirit; not the
flesh. While those who were born of the genealogies of the
patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, they still must be born again
in order to enter the Kingdom of God as Jesus stated in John 3.
Jesus chided the religious Jews for thinking they were sons of God
based on their flesh genealogy. He stated they were sons of the
devil due to their manner and conduct. So, I believe this is
the truth in this regard. Yes, there is a calling and election
of God for Israel and the Jews. Yet, they are in a state of
unbelief.
We
should pray for them, provide the gospel, which is largely not done,
but we should be like the apostles in Acts which proclaim the truth
of the gospel of Jesus, thus truly standing with Israel. But in
due time, after the fulness of the times of the gentiles, God will
move in a mighty way to fulfill His Word and those who have faith in
Jesus calling upon Him shall be saved.
(Note
from Trevor Davis:
Someone asked me today, “The question I
have is as the nations of the world and Islam unite together against
Israel. you don't like the morality of standing with them and
against the Satanic onslaught (Revelation 12) ?
My
answer to this is that I believe that the Word of God is going to be
fulfilled with the armies of the world uniting against Israel, the
Jews and against God Himself including the Lord Jesus. There is
no stopping this.
From
an eternal perspective, we should pray for their conversion.
Conversion to God through the gospel. I do not believe joining
in fleshly worldly endeavors through politics with others of false
gospels and religions is what God is leading us to do as disciples of
Jesus. Again, the apostles Paul, Peter, James and John would
never be involved in these tactics.
I am convinced that
the powers that be, the "rich men", and those rebelling
governmental leaders are being allowed by God to bring their wicked
Babylonian End Times Beast System to the fore right now as we speak.
They are using religion. They are using the undiscerning
religious people for their goals of uniting the world under the
Dragon the Devil Satan. We have to have discerning eyes, and
sensitive ears to the voice of the LORD and be of understanding of
these things. Our Lord's coming draws nigh. We must rise
and shine in His name and hold forth His Word being filled with the
Spirit of God and all boldness.
So, I am against those
who would unite to harm Israel and the Jews. I would warn them
not to lift a finger against this people. That is the most that
I can do besides praying and looking forward to God to fulfill His
will. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Minister the Word
of God. Warn the wicked against banding together to do the evil
outlined in scripture. I believe this is sound.
10.
The Letters Of Paul To Timothy.
A.
Today I read through 1Timothy and 2Timothy.
1Timothy:
Read and note--"Doctrine, Study, preach, and much more...
B.
Paul “commanded” that we teach no other doctrine!
C.
Study the doctrine, give yourself to reading, exhorting and
ministering the Word of God.
D. Study as a workman that needs
not be ashamed. Rightly dividing the Word of truth.
11.
Be A Good Soldier Of Jesus Christ!
A.
2Ti
2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus
Christ. Be
a soldier. Endure.
B. Good soldiers are not entangled in the
ways of the world or its affairs.
2Ti
2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this]
life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. .
C.
Good soldiers fight for the right side—heaven. This is a
spiritual battle against spiritual forces. It is not carnal against
flesh and blood.
D. Good soldiers pick their battles
carefully. They are the LORD's battles, not their own or carnal wars
of the flesh.
E. Good soldiers do not go AWOL. They are not
missing in action.
Definition--AWOL:
AWOL or awol (wôl)adj.Absent without leave.n.One who is absent
without leave.
F.
Good soldiers use their weaponry properly.
Eph
6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
G.
Good soldiers submit to their authority. They follow their command.
Is not Jesus the Lord. Are you following orders?
H. Good
soldiers pay the price.
I. Good soldiers are disciplined,
focused and ready for battle.
J. Good soldiers observe all of
these principles. Today, in Christian Land we are in a state of
apostasy and heresy that has wandered far from these principles. Too
many professing Christians are entangled with the affairs of this
world. Too many are promoting a worldly faith that is not according
to the way of the Lord. Too many Christians are fighting for the
wrong side thinking theyare serving the LORD. Too many have sided
with God's enemies and enemies of the cross. Too many Christians are
not submitted to the Lordship of Christ. They serve their own belly
or their own imaginations.
K. To get the reward with the Lord
we must do the battle according to His dictates. To receive the
reward of the masteries we must do so according His ways. 2Ti
2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned,
except he strive lawfully
I.
We must understand that the Lord is telling us to serve Him on His
terms. Follow Him. Do things His way. Do what He says. Serve the Lord
rightly. Walk the strait and narrow way that leads to life. Very few
will. Very few will make it. But, if you chose so, trust the Lord
Jesus to make the way and to keep you in the way. For it is the Lord
Jesus Himself Who is the Way.
