The LORD is with His Watchmen [podcast]
This is a Highly Encouraging
Message to all Who are Christ’s
In this message we use the word “watchmen” carefully. The word appears 12 times in Scripture and refers to the truly sanctified men of God who watched out for the people of God. This word was used carefully, partly due to wanting to stay away from putting “watchman” into a title category to boast of and also because there are lots of fake watchmen who’ve built ministries peddling lying deceptions. Youtube and the internet in general is full of them. True servant elders of Christ are prayerfully, and with Holy Scripture, leading Christ’s true Bride in preparation for His soon return – just as Paul and all the apostles did. Example: Ephesians 5:25-27; 2 Peter 3:10-17, etc.
—- BEWARE of some who claim to be Christ’s watchmen (they come in His name but don’t bear His fruit) and are in reality wicked. In fact, these are the most insidious snakes on the planet. They hide behind the guise of representing Christ while actually misrepresenting and disrupting His work in the lives of those He died to purchase to Himself. In most cases, they once knew Him and that’s how they gained access. They know the right things to say to gain the ears of the undiscerning. The apostle Paul warned us of this exact thing.
“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” Acts 20:29-31
They are departed from Christ and apostate (1 Timothy 4:1-3). Those who don’t love God’s people do not know Christ – “He that loveth not knoweth not God.” (1 John 4:8) They begin to beat the menservants – the fellow servants of Christ – which Jesus taught was a sin that indicated one was departed from Him and not ready to meet Him. Specifically speaking of being ready for His soon return, Jesus says “But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;” (Luke 12:45) Those who mistreat His people are doing so because they are at odds with Him – “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” (Matthew 25:40) Make no mistake: To attack Christ’s people is to attack Christ.
Watchmen, Fear Not
“Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. … I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; 13 And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?” Isaiah 51:7, 12, 13
“Yep. I am hated where I live simply for speaking and teaching truth from the King James Bible. The very people who hate me the most are from the “church”. The very ones who are supposed to espouse truth themselves. BUT, with them it is not so. They hide from truth as it exposes them and their hidden sins, and their sin of being carnal, worldly, having as false Gods, image, wealth, public acclaim. The golden calves of the Pharisees. Yes, I am hated by these false brethren.” Theodore W.
—– GOD HAS HIS WATCHMEN – “I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know (discern) and try (test) their way.” (Jeremiah 6:27)
Those true watchmen of the LORD love and fear the LORD first and foremost and they love you with His love and will not pamper you in your sins or lukewarm backslidden state (Revelation 3:14-21). Their calling is to equip and prepare you for ministry (Eph. 4:11-15), to teach you the right ways of the LORD, to teach you discernment (Ezek. 44:23), and to expose the wicked ministers who pose as those who represent Christ while misrepresenting Him. The true watchmen of Christ will expose the false watchmen, false pastors, false apostles, and false prophets who are known by refusing to teach the full counsel of God’s Word (Acts 17:11; Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4, etc.). Listen to this and pass it on.
IF you pretend to be a watchman for Jesus and yet are doing nothing but using breaking news stories to bring attention to yourself and ministry and put people in a panic, you are false (Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:27; 16:33; 2 Thessalonians 1:7). If you are not relentlessly preaching and teaching the Word (that’s the Great Commission Jesus gave), establishing people in Christ, feeding and equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, and evangelizing, you are a false prophet (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; John 21:15-17; Ephesians 4:11-16, etc).
—- The wolves of Christ’s day said He, the Son of God, had a devil (John 6:70; 8:48, 52, etc.). The apostle Paul said he and those believers who ministered with him were “deceivers, and yet true” … in other words the false brethren and wolves who poses as watchmen call him a deceiver and yet God and the true body of Christ knew Paul was an authentic servant of Jesus … “By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; ” 2 Cor. 6:8 .. “rejoice”! says Jesus because this only proves your place with Him! Matt. 5:10-12
“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” Ezekiel 33:6
There are our beloved brothers, fellow watchmen in Christ who are under severe attack from the forces of the enemy of all souls and his false watchmen. Please lift them up in prayer today beloved saints.
