* WATCHMAN WARNING! - SILENCE

 “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

 
 
The famous German pastor killed by the Nazi government in WWII wrote this many years ago.  It applied directly to what he was seeing around him.  And its truth applies to us today.
 
I would suggest all believers in the Lord will have ample opportunity to deal with this observation in these last days and to decide whether they are going to be silent or to speak out and act.
 
Evil abounds in our society. The movement to the one-world government is going ahead full steam.  What do you think this global warming movement is all about?  Yes, I know, naïve and confused people – especially young college students – are ardent about the subject.  But the fact remains it is an effort to bring the world under one government.   And much more.  At the recent meeting in Egypt of world leaders on this subject, the issue of population again came up.  Some of these leaders and other elite firmly believe there are too many people in the world.  Terrifying.  These are terrifying leaders.  The World Economic Forum which is so at the front of this movement is terrifying.  The UN is terrifying.  
 
At least, all these should be terrifying to all believers who realize what they are doing and where this is heading. 
 
Sadly, most people on earth haven’t got a clue.
 
Many millions in the US just elected or reelected persons fully supporting this movement, whether they realize that or not.  They reelected persons fully behind the terrible policies of the transgender movement, including all that is being taught and brought before children in public schools.  They reelected persons who fully back the LGBTQ movement, although this lifestyle is anathema to God.
 
They reelected persons who back the recent government actions that are destroying the American economy and society.
 
They reelected persons who are ok with violent criminals being released back on the streets and thus the soaring crime rate in many large cities.
 
They haven’t got a clue.
 
In the last days so many are deceived.  And to those who refuse to accept the truth (of the gospel, of Jesus), God sends a spirit of delusion.  These people thus eventually are lost people.  I fear many we see and hear doing such irrational things and speaking and backing such bizarre and irrational and harmful actions are just those people.
 
So how are you going to live and act these remaining days before Jesus comes? 
 
Are you going to be out there seeking to do what you can to help God the Father draw others to Jesus, always with the guidance of the Holy Spirit?
 
Are you going to stand up for Jesus wherever and whenever needed?  You never know when the moment will be that suddenly the Lord is being trashed and dumped on and you are the only one in the room who knows him and can speak up or act in opposition to all that.  You need to decide now how you are going to act and what you are going to do.
 
Remember  Matthew 10:32-33:
 
“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
 
Obviously in all your words and actions you must be guided by the Holy Spirit.  So pray about all this.  Every day ask the Holy Spirit to orchestrate your day, to arrange all the encounters he would have you have.  Ask for more and more wisdom in representing Jesus in every situation.
 
Silence in the face of evil is evil.  We don’t need Dietrich Bonhoeffer to tell us that.

* TIME TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST ANOTHER STORM - NICOLE!

We are in mid-November and there is still another serious storm in the Atlantic heading straight for Florida and the Southeast of the US.  Once again believers need to take a stand against this storm Nicole.

 
Again remember, Jesus said believers can do the same thing he did, even greater.  He also said he would do whatever believers ask him in his name.  And the Father will give us whatever we ask him in Jesus' name.  And that we can order mountains in our life away.  We can order them thrown into the sea and if we believe and do not doubt it will be done.  (See John 14:12-14; John 16:23: Mark 11:22-23).
 
The mountain right now for those living in the target areas is the storm Nicole. 
 
So I ask everyone wherever you are to pray against this storm, to take a stand (I personally like to step outside and face in the direction of the storm, raising arm and hand with palm to the storm.  For most of us, that direction would be facing southeast.).
 
Declare:

In Jesus' name, I order the storm named Nicole to turn aside from land, to go out to sea and to diminish in power and disappear.  No storm surge, strong winds, or flooding rain.  In Jesus' name, I order the storm named Nicole to harm no people, animals, land, buildings, or boats!

You can put this in your own words, but that is what Jesus said we can do.  Be bold! Remember, he changed the weather.
 
Do it now!

WATCHMAN WARNING: MOMENTOUS

 
A momentous election is upon us in the United States.
 
Far more important than that of course is the imminent return of Jesus.  But surely all believers want Jesus to find us out there working for him and the gospel right up to the time he comes.  And don’t we all want to be living in as good and decent a place as possible these remaining days?
 
This election gives us all that opportunity.  It gives us a chance to take a stand against the out and out evil and wrong-thinking of many politicians in our government these past months.  It gives us all a chance to vote for what we can perceive are the best candidates, the ones who are true Christians or at least have basic Christian values and who have the backbone to stand up for honesty and decency and truth.
 
On the local and national level we have seen action after action supporting issues that bring the country down, destroy the economy, damage the basic fundamental values of America that come from the Bible and the Constitution.  We have seen apparently confused or flat out evil politicians take stands that support criminals over the victims of crime, with the result that in many cities today citizens fear to go about the city, to ride public transportation, basically just to live.  We have seen local district attorneys elected who will not support law and order but over and over release terrible criminals onto the streets. 
 
Throughout the land many good citizens are volunteering to take positions such as poll observer during the election in the hope of having fairer and more honest elections than we have seen in recent years.  Let’s pray that indeed happens.
 
The goals right now should be to turn around many governments at all levels – governor, mayor, local school boards and councils, and Congress itself.  Many Americans throughout my lifetime have tried to focus on working to support their families, on having a home and a car and a vacation and perhaps going to sports events or some other recreation.  Those are all good things in themselves.  But these Americans have not wanted to focus on issues of politics and government, with the result being we have ended up with the atrocious leaders the nation and many cities and states have now.
 
There are still people who think the nation is doing well, and we only have to wonder how they think.  We still even have some Christians who just seem not to be aware of all that is happening.  Well, we know from prophecy and scripture what I have written often about, how Jesus warned us not to be deceived in these last days in which we are living.  Deception is rampant on earth today. 
 
I just write to encourage you to vote and to think seriously about each position.  Seek God's guidance.   It is not about whose personality you like the most.  It is about who you think would do the best for you and your family, for your children, for your community, and for the nation.  We all should try to make these last days as good as we possibly can, instead of a steadily deteriorating society heading toward an apparent lawless, godless, out of control hell on earth.  We know from the Bible that times get tougher and tougher as we near the return, but surely we can stand against that tide to the extent possible and be doing so when the Lord returns.  And of course, always, we surely can and should be representing Jesus in all opportunities and as the Holy Spirit guides.

*SIGN OF THE TIMES: SOMETHING IS PROFOUNDLY WRONG

I recently saw the above phrase in the heading of a news article.  The author was referring to the terrible truly random acts of atrocious violence in NY City.  Really crazy violence is occurring steadily there, such as groups suddenly beating up teenage girls on subways or an individual suddenly punching an old lady in the face or sculling some man with a hard object. 


Well, something is profoundly wrong is an obvious conclusion from any rational person looking at such acts there and in many other large cities.  It makes no sense.  Where did all these truly evil people come from?  What is going on?

You know there is more of an answer to this.  We are in the last days before Jesus’ return.  The devil is running amuck.  His time is limited.  People who are not born again and do not have the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit have no discernment of truth versus falsehood – they are ready prey for the evil one and his demons.  They are easily led astray.  They are easily deceived.  That’s who these people are who are committing these atrocious acts. You are not going to be able to sit down and reason with them.  I think you and any sane person know that.  These are people who truly need to be dealt with by serious law and order steps.  They need to be arrested and taken off the streets so they will not be in a position to harm others.

Yet there are people we know on the far left of the political spectrum and occupying seats high in government and in media and elsewhere who think  that enforcement of law and order needs to be diminished.  They think a move in favor of the criminal is called for – less punishment, free violent people on bail, and so forth.

How can anyone think like that in light of what is happening?  Well, I write again – people who are not born again and do not have the Holy Spirit and his gifts cannot discern truth from falsehood.  They are easily deceived and led astray.  Who specializes in doing that?  The devil of course.  And thus these people are truly deceived.  You are not going to be able to sit and have a rational discussion with them either.  They are just as dangerous, maybe more than the individuals committing the violent acts.

As the Bible states, people who refuse to accept the truth – God’s truth – are eventually given over to delusion.  That’s where many of these bizarre people are today.  We have never seen this before have we?  No we haven’t.  It is frightening and terrible.  And it is amazing so many have achieved such positions of power.

These are the last days.  Jesus is coming soon.  Believers wish he would come tonight.  Well, maybe he will.  We don’t know the specific time, just that obviously his coming is soon.  Of course, believers also hope and wish more would see the light and become true believers in Jesus.

All of us still must represent Jesus on this earth.  We must stand up for him.  We must help the Father in his leading others to Jesus by speaking to them anytime the Holy Spirit draws us to do so, anytime he arranges his divine encounters.  And all of us must pray to the Father that he would draw these people – specific ones by name, more general ones by group – to a saving knowledge of Jesus.  No one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws that person to Jesus.  But we can help in this.

*TAKE A STAND AGAINST HURRICANE IAN!

Here we are again in the fall of the year needing to apply the truths and the authority the Lord has given us believers to take a stand against a very dangerous storm.  There is a growing hurricane called Ian in the Caribbean apparently on course to cross the western tip of Cuba soon and then move into the Gulf of Mexico and on to Florida and other states.

 
Remember, Jesus said believers can do the same thing he did, even greater.  He also said he would do whatever believers ask him in his name.  And the Father will give us whatever we ask him in Jesus' name.  And that we can order mountains in our life away.  We can order them thrown into the sea (See John 14:12-14; John 16:23: Mark 11:22-23).
 
The mountain right now for those living in the target areas is the storm Ian.  It's time right now once again to use these truths and the authority the Lord has given us and to put our faith into action.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of power and not just words!
 
So I ask now everyone wherever you are to pray against this storm, to take a stand (I personally like to step outside and face in the direction of the storm, raising arm and hand with palm to the storm.  For most of us, that direction would be facing south.).
 
Then declare:
 
In Jesus' name, I order the storm named Ian to turn aside from land, to go out to sea and to diminish in power and disappear.  In Jesus' name, I order the storm named Ian to harm no people and animals and to touch no land, no buildings, and no boats!
 
Be bold! You can put this in your own words, but that is what Jesus said we can do.  Remember, he changed the weather.
 
Do it now!

* GOD MOMENT - CLEMENT

 

I was in the office many years ago when suddenly there was a knock at the outside door.  I opened the door and there stood a young man about thirty in shorts and flip flops.
 
“What kind of ministry?” the man asked.
 
“Come in and see,” I responded.
 
Once inside we sat down, and he said he was from Africa. 
 
“I’ve been to Africa,” I said.
 
“I’m from Ghana,” he replied.
 
“I’ve been to Ghana,” I said.  I think he was starting to smile.
 
“Accra,” he said.
 
“I’ve been to Accra.”
 
He liked that.  And then he said, “I’m a missionary from Ghana to the United States.”
 
And he said his name was Clement.
 
He talked about Christians in Ghana and divine healing.
 
I said, “we heal people.”
 
He seemed incredulous about that, that anyone in the US did that.  He just couldn’t believe from what he had seen of American churches and Christians that anyone in America healed anyone.  Evidently he had not yet seen any ministry in the US that operated in the gift of healings, in the Holy Spirit.  He certainly had not seen our ministry.
 
And we talked some more.  He even gave his insight on what was wrong in our area, and in his words it was the large protestant denomination that dominated the area and is not spirit filled and does not operate in the Spirit or the gifts.  I understood his point – the issue was the people not knowing the Holy Spirit.
 
I continued to talk about our ministry, our working to fulfill God’s call on my life, healings and such and soon we were warm and friendly.
 
I think we said a prayer together.  He gave me a telephone number where he could be contacted.
 
Then he walked out the door.  I went immediately to the door and looked out, but he was not anywhere to be seen even though there was an open parking area outside our office door.
 
Some months later we were dealing with a large number of young people – mainly middle school age – in Ghana who were following our ministry and had requested CDs and Bibles.  We had been sending them these things.  I had some questions about all this, and I thought of Clement from Ghana.
 
So I called the number he had left.  I left a message on a recording. I asked that whoever received the message get it to Clement, and said that I wanted to see him.
 
A few days went by.  Then a telephone call.
 
“This is Clement,” a deep voice said.  I invited him to the office.
 
The next day the doorbell rang and there he was again, dressed exactly as before.  He came in.  We talked about the young people and their requests, about what was going on with them, about Ghana.  Cathy came by the office and sat in with us.  And then we all held hands and prayed.   The Holy Spirit presence was strong, and Clement had tears in his eyes
 
Then he left again.  As soon as he left, I went to the door and looked out.  Just like before, no one was there.  Nothing as far as I could see.
 
I had one more contact with Clement.  One night at our weekly program Spend an Evening with Jesus, I was speaking to the group when I saw him sitting halfway back.  I was talking and moving down the aisle, maybe praying, and I put my hand on his back.  He smiled.  A few moments later as I talked I noticed he was no longer there.
 
That was the last time I have seen him.  I think you know who Clement was.  Another of God’s messengers sent to encourage us in the role God has called us to and to help us move on.
 
It is an amazing life – and often a challenging one – once you make that decision to follow the Lord at all costs.  But the benefits, the blessings, the peace, the revelations, are all beyond compare.  And the wonders have never stopped.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: AN ASTOUNDING LAST DAYS EVANGELICAL EVENT


We have just witnessed and even participated in the largest evangelical event of our time.

I hope you realize this.

In the events of the funerals and mourning period of about ten days for Queen Elizabeth key truths of the gospel have gotten out and been heard by millions upon millions of people throughout the world.  It is amazing what God has just done.

In the several funeral services key wonderful scriptures about Jesus, about his coming to get his believers, about the new Jerusalem, about God’s love, and so much more have been read by priests and others.  They have been sung in numerous hymns.  In fact, I would say the great bulk of the services were all scripture, read or sung.  In addition, countless people have spoken in interviews about their faith or the Queen’s faith.

Just for example consider these couple examples:

The first scripture I remember hearing read earlier in the week in one of the services was from John 14:1-6, where Jesus talks about there being so many rooms in his father’s house and how he has gone to prepare a place for his believers and how he will come and get those believers and take them to him so they can be where he is.  The priest concluded his reading by quoting the wonderful verse “I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  These verses were read again later in another service.

And then in one of the services a priest read scripture from the next to last chapter in the book of Revelation, which talks about the new Jerusalem and about no more tears!

And more than once I heard read directly or included as part of some other message the wonderful words from John 11 in which Jesus says “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, yet shall he live.   And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.”

Amazing is it not how God had these priests and others read important passages about Heaven, about Jesus coming to get his believers, about what awaits believers, about God and love and more.

Think that was a coincidence?  Think again.

A few days ago I wrote a Sign of the Times and asked regarding these days of the Queen’s farewell, “why is it here in the last moments before Jesus returns to collect his believers we have been given such a massive display of love and affection, of caring, a massive display of millions of people getting along well with each other?” 

I think you know why. 

We are so very near the Lord’s returning.  And God is still working to wake people up to his truths, to get as many as possible into the Kingdom.   Those scriptures weren’t read just for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.  They were for all living people, those who wonderfully are believers in the Lord and those who could be and might be saved in the short time remaining, if they can only hear and recognize and receive the truth and repent and accept Jesus as their Lord.

Queen Elizabeth herself planned the services we are told, or had a large part in putting it all together.  But obviously we all know who picked these scriptures and guided her and others in putting it all together.

Wonder how many people throughout the world have heard the great truths and have been led by God now to seek out the gospel, to accept Jesus as their Lord, to ask some believer for help in understanding and in their journey to Christ?  Even the very behavior of the giant crowds as they waited long hours for a glimpse of the Queen’s coffin surely have caused many to wonder just what was going on here.

We are on the threshold, right at the door. 

Yes, Jesus really is coming soon.
