TRUMPETER'S CALL

OPENING PRAYER by Robert  

Heavenly Father, I come before you as a humble servant and lay before your Throne my petitions for your intercession on behalf of those who are seeking to work out their walk in your footsteps. I pray Lord, you fill them with the spirit of knowledge, Truth, Self-appraisal, the sense of acceptance. I ask Lord, you would remove from them the spirits of pride, self-indulgence, vanity, haughtiness, worldly lusts, fill them with humility and the strength to control their will. Give them an open mind to hear the teaching and guidance of the Holy Spirit with discernment and acceptance.  I further ask Father, you fill them with the spirit of boldness and the spirit of fearlessness. I pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen.

OPENING COMMENTS “I KEEP UNDER” by Robert

 If you’re wondering about the comment “I KEEP UNDER,” it is a technical term the Greeks used when preparing for the ISTHMIAN games, which were the most ancient glories of Corinth. They were celebrated every second year and fostered the feeling of brotherhood in the Hellenic race.

The athletes to enter these games had to be Greeks of pure blood and done nothing to forfeit their citizenship. Scarcely any more significant distinction could be earned by a Greek citizen than victory in these games. These games were the greatest of national gatherings, and even when one State was at war with another, hostilities became suspended.

So what does this have to do with our drawing closer to Yeshua and his teachings? If you recall, I made reference to a Crown in the closing comments of “The Ultimate Distraction Is It Worth It?”

That casual comment is the premise of this article, and what we as followers of Yeshua who are seeking to get our walk in order are going to learn about what it’s going to take to remain in this current footprint and earn that Crown and what it represents.     

So far, our lessons have been to self-analyze our walk learn about our weaknesses and strengths, assess where we believe we stand and reinforce our decision to follow God and return to His laws as He has called us to do. Well, with the knowledge we have gained about being distracted.

The Holy Spirit is showing me we are now going to leave the surface part of our walk and delve into what makes us tick as far as our commitment to Yahweh and Yeshua.  

Remember, I referred to God having Moses lead the people into the desert; they wandered for 40 years to rid themselves of the false gods and temptations.

During that time, God removed two generations to prepare them for their entry into the promised land. Here is where we step away from the Worldly teachings, myths and temptations and get right down to the nitty-gritty.

Here is where the Holy Spirit takes off the kid gloves bringing forward truths we need to know, which is going to become a part of our walk but don’t want to accept or do anything.

The Holy Spirit is going to show us we’re comfortable, even complacent. This footprint represents our cleansing of those worldly temptations our Body continually brings to us.

This footprint is our 40 years in the desert. For those who have done the audit, you will understand, for those who have not read the earlier writings may find this information a bit confusing.

I ask you to go to my site romboughrobert.com start with the first article in this series, Truth will be evil, Lies will be Truth, and then the others to catch up. Each item is a step bringing you closer to recognizing your strengths and weaknesses in your walk. They will reveal truths as tools in preparation for this article and the revelations about to be revealed.    

Here the Holy Spirit shows that subtle statement about our Body being a temple (1 Cor. 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?) comes into play, he is revealing a truth known or unknown by all.

The Holy Spirit points out many are taking our bodies for granted and shouldn’t be, as they are a Temple that houses our spirit and the Spirit of God.  

The question then is, “How well are you maintaining your Temple?” Next question, “Is the lusts of your body in control of you, or do you think you’re in control”?

Here should be our best reassessment of our position on caring for our temple. As Paul points out in 2 Cor 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk-in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

What comes to mind is the closing quote I offered from Isaiah 35:8, And a highway shall be there, and the way, and it shall be called “The Way of Holiness.” The unclean shall not Passover it, but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools shall not err therein. 

I believe in that passage, Isaiah was defining the narrow path Yeshua spoke of  Matt 7:14 “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be to find it .”

To travel this road according to Isaiah on our part will take hard work, determination and a passionate commitment on the part of those who desire the life Yeshua spoke of, as well as the Crown, offered in the victory of finding the narrow path.

Even Paul realized this Truth:  In opening Paul in previous chapters of 1 Corinthians has proven his right to claim remuneration from those to whom he preached the Gospel, and he has also given his reasons for declining to urge this assertion.

He was resolved that no one should have any ground for misapprehending his motive in preaching the Gospel. Paul had another reason, namely, “that he might be himself a partaker of the benefits he taught” (1 Corinthians 9:23).

Apostle though he was, he had his Salvation to work out. He was not himself saved by proclaiming Salvation to others, any more than the baker is fed making bread for others, or the physician kept in health by prescribing for others.

Paul was resolved persistently to do, lest that by any means when he had preached to others, he should be a castaway.”  This goes back to my description of Hell as I see it; even Paul an Apostle feared it “Godly Rejection” and “Eternal Separation” from YESHUA  because of being Distracted by worldly temptations.

Reflecting on the start of this journey, God called us to return to His Laws, did you throughout this journey not wonder why He called us back? What purpose was there in having us do an audit? Well, I believe the answers to these questions are right before us here.

Those who have had an ear to hear and an eye to see are possibly realizing they may have strayed but may be off base in working out there Salvation and maintaining their walk on the narrow path. 

Hard work, personal honesty, commitment to finish and the knowledge of what will be available to those willing to endure and go forward is what the Holy Spirit is revealing.

The hard work will be first gaining control over your body and cleaning up the temple, so it falls under our control, not control us through the lusts of the world the Body desires. It is essential to acknowledge the Body was not created for pleasure. It is a temple, and those who defile it will suffer its destruction.

Paul mentions the one enemy, namely our “BODY,”; which must be kept under, thereby brought into subjection. By the Body, we are to understand fleshly appetites and inclinations.

These the apostle set himself to curb and conquer, and in this, the Corinthians and as well ourselves are bound to imitate him.  Note: Those who would pursue the interests of their souls must beat down their bodies and keep them under control.

There must be hard combat with fleshly lusts, and not indulge a wanton appetite, and want for heathenish sacrifices, nor eat them, to please their flesh, at the hazard of their brethren’s souls. The Body must be made to serve the mind, not suffered to be lorded by it. 

The Apostle Paul chose “The ISTHMIAN games” as a comparison because the contestants were pure Greeks. As we are discovering, we need to be refined in our commitment to Yeshua and our desire to follow God’s laws to obtain the Crown promised.

These comments should give you an expectation of what is to come. If you recall in the first declaration made, what the Holy Spirit revealed, I did not fully comprehend the expectations of my commitment. Now I am discerning, recognizing and understanding what he meant. I was missing the mark and didn’t realize how much or more importantly [why]. 

Paul had evidently felt this danger to be a serious one. He had found himself tempted from time to time to rest in the name and call of an apostle, to take for granted that his Salvation was a thing past doubt and on which no more thought or effort need be extended.

He saw in a slightly altered form this temptation was common to all Christians. All have the name, not all the reality. And the mere possession of the name is a temptation to forget the Truth. 

Here I am wondering how many reading this article have honestly found themselves falling prey to this very same temptation? The Holy Spirits words are now echoing somewhat loud in my mind, how much I didn’t understand about my walk.  

I know, we must work out our Salvation daily; however, for some reason, never fully comprehended the depth of those words or completely understood the depth of why.

I knew I had Salvation and desired to draw closer to Yeshua by creating a deeper relationship. I lived giving all my love to the Lord with my heart, with my soul and with all my might.

It never dawned on me the actual reason behind that effort; I never questioned why I just believed and committed to it, believing I was fighting the good fight. When in reality, I was like those in the games who fought with each other who prepared themselves by beating the air, Paul says there is no room for such exercise in the Christian warfare. He points out Christians are ever in close combat. Our enemies make fierce and hearty opposition and are always at hand. 

Isaiah made it quite clear there is a highway that can be travelled on, but only those who are fully committed to God can travel “The Way of Holiness.” Yeshua spells out what alternative route is available for those who can’t or won’t move. “The Way of Holiness” is quite evident in Matt.7:13 Enter ye at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. 

We have a choice about which route we want to follow. For some, the broad path will be their choice because they have stopped working on their Salvation (distracted), others are not entirely committed, and for many, they just don’t believe.

What the Holy Spirit revealed there will be some who believe they are on the narrow path but, in reality, are on the broadway as they go forward in delusional false teachings.   

Earlier I had eluded to the fact, I believe Isaiah was defining, how we could travel the narrow path which Yeshua described, and as well revealed why many do not travel this road, “the unclean shall not Passover it.” Now Yeshua’s words “and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be to find it” is beginning to make sense.

It isn’t easy to find this road, but once you do to travel it, you must be of an obedient nature following God’s Laws. Suddenly His love for us is like a flashing neon sign showing us, “here is the path to Life” it’s your choice to travel it.

But recognize there’s a huge commitment, one that must be fulfilled right until we pass into Eternity. Isaiah spelled it out the “unclean shall not Passover it.”

Here is the reason God called us to follow His laws (Ten Commandments as a template to eternal life) and fulfilling the challenge to obtain the Crown of Eternal life. Are you up to it? Note Isaiah said the unclean; I take that to mean those who are not always working to deepen their Salvation and develop a personal relationship with Yeshua, who is the only way unto life.

The words work out your Salvation are now becoming even clearer. Paul’s efforts to work on his Salvation even though he was an Apostle make sense. You cannot, for one moment, believe that your position in heaven is ever guaranteed.

The Crown of Eternal life is there for those who are willing to earn it through obedience to our Father’s call to live in His laws (Ten Commandments as a template). Happy am I that I heard the Holy Spirit sound God’s Call to Return to His Laws and, as a Watchman, sound the Trumpet about God’s Call to Return. 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert 

Having placed my foot into Yeshua’s footprint and having the Holy Spirit reveal this Truth about his sacrifice. It guaranteed I have Salvation and, as a reborn spirit, can live under Salvation. While working out my Salvation, the Holy Spirit offers an opportunity to receive a heavenly prize of an Eternal crown and guidance by the Holy Spirit to find the narrow path which leads to Eternal life with Yeshua.

Revealing just how much work lies ahead and what perils and hardships we are going to encounter and face.  “Remember, I said he was taking the kid gloves off.” “Well, they are off.”

“However,” there’s a feeling of peace, anticipated joy, and a sense of satisfaction. The Holy Spirit has opened my eyes as the past months have been a preparation period. So I would be prepared for what I’ve learned about the work involved to receive Eternal life and how much determination and use of my will it’s going to take. How many changes there must be in my life and personal walk and commitment to Yeshua. 

The Holy Spirit is about to show me what I didn’t know about my walk and what I didn’t realize I had blindly accepted. He is revealing a gap between Yeshua and Christians.

However, the Holy Spirit is also revealing that gap being closed, by using the discernment. He has brought to us over the last months, connecting it to our discernment and then applying it to those areas of our life and walk he is revealing which need His and our attention.  

Paul outlines the dangers of yielding to fleshly inclinations and pampering the Body and its lusts and appetites. He explains we need a Holy fear of ourselves and not presumptuous confidence, is the best security against apostasy from God, and final rejection by Him. As well as defining what Isaiah meant about “unclean”  now work out your Salvation is becoming clearly defined. 

To those who would win the Crown, Paul gives these directions: 

1. Be Temperate: Temperance must be continuous as well as complete. One day’s debauch was enough to undo the result of weeks during which the athlete had carefully attended to the rules prescribed. In comparison, one fraud spoils the character for honesty, which years of upright living have earned. Beware then of giving place to the world or the flesh at any point. Recognize that if you are to succeed in winning eternal life, all the spiritual energy discernment, understanding and wisdom you can command will regularly be required. You can’t be striking empty air; your blows must be sufficient at all times, keeping the Body under submission.  
2. Be Decided: To be among those who win as well as among those who run, we must know where we are going, and be quite sure we mean to be there. We have all some idea of what God offers and calls for. No man can run straight to a will-o’-the wisp. We must count the cost and see clearly what we are to gain and what we must lose by making for the incorruptible prize. We must be resolved to win and have no thought of defeat, of failure, of doing something better. It is the absence of deliberate choice and reasonable decision, which causes such “uncertain” running on the part of many who profess to be in the race. Paul set a personal example for us to live in the world but continue in the competition by not pursuing comfort, money, respect, position, but to seek first the Kingdom of God. Like Paul, we are to know where we are going and to what all our efforts tended. Paul shows every life is unsatisfactory until its owner has made up his mind what he means to do with it until governed by a conceived and firmly held aim. Then it flies like the arrow to its mark. He cautions we should not seek after worldly wisdom, which will lead us to foolishness and the broad way to destruction.  
3. Be in Earnest: In most Christian people, there is an enormous expenditure of thought and of feeling about sin; their spirit is probably more expended in the shape of shame, compunction, penitence, resolve, self-restraint, watchfulness, prayer. All this, were it brought directly to bear on some definite object, would produce a significant effect, but in many cases, no good whatever seems to result. Paul’s thoughts are the reason may be that there remains in the heart some reluctance entirely to kill and put an end to sin, to beat all the life out of it. The soul and life of every sin are some lust of our own, and while quite anxious to put an end to some of the evils this passion produces in our life, we may not be prepared to extinguish the desire itself. We pray God, for example, to preserve us from the evils of praise or of success, and yet we continue to court praise and success. We are unable to sacrifice the pleasure for the sake of safety. Therefore our warfare against sin becomes unreal.  Paul’s thoughts here reveal how victory will be accomplished by coming to the realization our Body is the real enemy instead of being his servant, it has become his master. The proper function of the Body is to serve the will to bring the inner man into contact with the outer world and enable him to influence it. Paul reveals when his Body presumed to dictate to his spirit and demand comforts and indulgences, and shrank from hardship; he beat it down. The word he uses is a powerful one: “I keep under”; it is a technical term of the games, and means to strike full in the face. It was the word used of the most damaging blow one boxer could give another. This unmerciful, overpowering blow Paul dealt his Body, resisting its assaults and making it helpless to tempt him. He thus brought it into subjection, made it his slave, as the winner in some of the games had a right to carry the vanquished into slavery.

CLOSING PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I lay before your Throne the gratefulness of those who have prospered from your teachings. I ask Father at this time for your blessings to be upon them and further strengthening their resolve to bring their bodies into submission.

I lay a further plea Father for your wisdom to flow over them, Lord bringing further recognition of the journey ahead as we follow your Son Yeshua’s footsteps. I pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen.

Remember, I am only a humble servant of Yeshua doing His bidding as a messenger. In doing the research for this writing, I must admit I have been spiritually convicted and pray this message will do the same for you. Working out my Salvation has taken on a very new meaning and purpose. I want to walk on Isaiah’s “THE WAY OF HOLINESS.,” which is entirely up to me, so I submit this challenge to those who are reading these writings to desire the same a place on the narrow road. God’s blessings and strength be with you all.

Robert

All this, were it brought directly to bear on some definite object, would produce a significant effect, but in many cases, no good whatever seems to result. Paul’s thoughts are the reason may be that there remains in the heart some reluctance entirely to kill and put an end to sin, to beat all the life out of it. The soul and life of every sin are some lust of our own, and while quite anxious to put an end to some of the evils this passion produces in our life, we may not be prepared to extinguish the desire itself. We pray God, for example, to preserve us from the evils of praise or of success, and yet we continue to court praise and success. We are unable to sacrifice the pleasure for the sake of safety. Therefore our warfare against sin becomes unreal.  Paul’s thoughts here reveal how victory will be accomplished by coming to the realization our Body is the real enemy instead of being his servant, it has become his master. The proper function of the Body is to serve the will to bring the inner man into contact with the outer world and enable him to influence it. Paul reveals when his Body presumed to dictate to his spirit and demand comforts and indulgences, and shrank from hardship; he beat it down. The word he uses is a powerful one: “I keep under”; it is a technical term of the games, and means to strike full in the face. It was the word used of the most damaging blow one boxer could give another. This unmerciful, overpowering blow Paul dealt his Body, resisting its assaults and making it helpless to tempt him. He thus brought it into subjection, made it his slave, as the winner in some of the games had a right to carry the vanquished into slavery.

CLOSING PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I lay before your Throne the gratefulness of those who have prospered from your teachings. I ask Father at this time for your blessings to be upon them and further strengthening their resolve to bring their bodies into submission.

I lay a further plea Father for your wisdom to flow over them, Lord bringing further recognition of the journey ahead as we follow your Son Yeshua’s footsteps. I pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen.

Remember, I am only a humble servant of Yeshua doing His bidding as a messenger. In doing the research for this writing, I must admit I have been spiritually convicted and pray this message will do the same for you. Working out my Salvation has taken on a very new meaning and purpose. I want to walk on Isaiah’s “THE WAY OF HOLINESS.,” which is entirely up to me, so I submit this challenge to those who are reading these writings to desire the same a place on the narrow road. God’s blessings and strength be with you all.

PRE-AMBLE by Robert
We have witnessed through the Scriptures and testimonies of the Apostles the resurrection and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and now the working of the Holy Spirit following Pentecost of Peter’s sermon where 3000 were converted.
Here and now the enemy is already at work bringing forward material which is worldly candy to the human mind and flesh acting as a distraction for many. I wrote the following article in January 2017 and now believe it is most appropriate to describe how Satan will attempt to distract those who have the word and are about to receive the word.
https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2017/07/19/the-ultimate-distraction-is-it-worth-it/
We have witnessed the truth in action how God used evil to complete his plan of bringing Salvation into the world through the wrongful crucifixion of his son Yeshua. We are now about to see how wickedness will attempt to stop God’s army of modern day disciples from spreading the truth with distractions, lies and even in some cases physical violence. To preface this statement, I went to Romans 1:21-23 citing Paul’s warning and am quoting commentary from Matthew Henry (1662-1774) v.21 Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. v.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools V.23 and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Matthew Henry (1662-1774) What discoveries they had: That which may be known of God is manifest, en autois–among them, that is, there were some even among them that had the knowledge of God, were convinced of the existence of one supreme Numen. The philosophy of Pythagoras, Plato, and the Stoics, discovered a great deal of the knowledge of God, as appears by an abundance of testimonies. That which may be known, which implies that there is a great deal which may not be known.
This is a warning for those who might think they are enhancing their personal knowledge seeking information from a movement known as Gaia which if you preview their movement will realize it falls right into these scriptures and commentary.
However, we have a free will to choose our path to eternity, but sometimes there are temptations which will cause us to deviate from our path, by what I call “brain candy.” Which are distractions and are described in the above scripture and commentary. Make your choices wisely as they will affect your eternity and which path you will follow. Remember Satan uses our curiosity to cause us to stumble. I’m placing a huge sign saying major sinkhole ahead take care. Your choice to heed or go around and proceed note you have been warned. The Trumpet has sounded “Amen.”
I say to all, Joel’s warning is a genuine warning for us today and is being put in place by Satan’s minions who are appearing as worldly wise individuals. Bringing you mundane questions and false teachings to fill your minds with gratifying bits of information. Sort of like an appetizer teasing you into desiring more worldly wonders and knowledge. Ultimately drawing you away from God’s truth, love and protection, you need to ask is it worth it?
In the book of Joel “The prophet Joel” describes how an attack will take place. First as a palmerworm, then locust then cankerworm and finally the caterpillar. Each will destroy what the first had left behind. He says For a nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

But in reality, what he was warning about was a human invasion. Followers of Yeshua we are in a spiritual war which has actively manifested into a physical conflict. I am here asking all who read this to note what occurred in Europe in 2015 the mass invasion of so-called immigrants Joel predicted, no one heeded and they were eagerly welcomed by nieve citizens.

We are seeing the results now of how Europe is being devastated, their culture and identity being destroyed internally. These were the palmerworm.
Individual countries have lost control of their government and police forces.

There is more devastation to come as the next wave is to appear from within and destroy the infrastructure of these countries through changing the laws by which each country is governed by.

The enemy knows he cannot continue this influx to the western continent, so they are conducting a different buildup in Canada through its deluded leader
Justin Trudeau is seen here in a mosque praying to Allah as a Muslim.

What does this have to do with our spiritual journey forward? Are God’s people not protected as we proceed in our missions?
Yes, we are if we remain walking within God’s laws and draw closer to Yeshua and his teachings through the Holy Spirit. What I am warning about has two sides to it first the enemy is going to distract then destroy the lifestyle many have become accustomed too. If you recall Joel warned us in Joel 1:8-13 Matthew Henry commented as follows: All who labor for the meat which perishes, will, sooner or later, be ashamed of their labor. Those that place their happiness in the delights of sense, when deprived of them, or disturbed in the enjoyment, lose their joy. Whereas spiritual pleasure then flourishes more than ever. See what perishing, uncertain things our creature-comforts are. See how we need to live in continued dependence upon God and his providence. See what ruinous work sin makes. As far as poverty occasions the decay of deity of piety, and starves the cause of religion among people, it is a very severe judgment. But how blessed are the awakening judgments of God, in rousing his people and calling home the heart to Yeshua, and his salvation?
“The other is a warning to all who walk in peace not to become complacent in that walk as we are being shown severe turmoil and in some cases, destruction just lies ahead without warning, so we need to be aware and prepared for it. The “Trumpet” has been sounded it is now your choice which path you follow.”

Remember my position with Yeshua is that of a “Watchmen” and it is my calling to bring warnings of future events which might put Yeshua’s children in peril. This is my anointing From Ezekiel 33:1-7 v.1 Again the word of the Lord came upon me, saying v2. Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them. When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the nation take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman. v3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blows the Trumpet and warns the people; v.4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet and taketh not warning. If the sword comes, and take him away his blood shall be upon his own head. v.5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and received not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

So in conclusion to my pre-amble, what it boils down to is the “Trumpet” has been sounded and the warning of future events given. Whether you believe and act on it is up to you. This notice is given to all to hear, however also has some very pertinent information for the modern day disciples.

This morning in a prolonged meditation the Holy Spirit lead me to Proverbs 22:1-5 A GOOD name is preferable to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. v2.the rich and poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all. v3. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. v4. By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor and life. v5.Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. v6. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. v7. The rich ruleth over the poor and the borrower is a servant to the lender.
Take heed remember your choice of which path you follow is in your hands now. Once you go forward when you’re looking back at the events as they have unfolded check your thoughts as it was your decision based on the information you had at the time. God’s blessings.
OPENING PRAYER by Robert
Heavenly Father we thank thee for all the assistance you have provided as well as the warning of events to come. We ask for all to be strengthened and protected according to your word. Thank you, Father, for your patience and the lead time you have given all plus the wisdom to your disciples in preparation to go forward. We ask Father for you to strengthen them and protect them from any and all forms of evil. Lord we know many will rebuke your soldiers and their word, and there will be those who will try to deceive them. We ask you to fill their hearts and minds with your wisdom to discern those who are deceivers. We pray for their interior mirrors to be polished so your light will penetrate the dark shroud which covers this world today. Give them the words Father to draw those still deceived and lost to break down their barriers. This we pray in the name of Yeshua. Amen
OPENING STATEMENT by Robert
In my preamble, I stated my position which I have sounded the Trumpet as a warning. I ask all to check the facts shown, I pray you will discern what the prophet Joel warned the Israelites about which came true and is being repeated today as a warning to Yeshua’s current followers who will find it already in action around the world.
The following is for Yeshua’s brethren receiving his teachings through the Holy Spirit. I am going to relate commentary from the KJV bible authors unknown. We will hear the Apostle Paul’s instructions in Romans 14:19-23 Many wish for peace, and talk loudly for it, who do not follow the things that make for peace. Meekness, humility, self-denial, and love, make for peace. We cannot edify one another while quarreling and contending. Many for meat and drink, destroy the work of God in themselves. Nothing more destroys the soul than pampering and pleasing the flesh, and fulfilling the lusts of it. So others are hurt, by wilful offense given. Lawful things may be done unlawfully, by giving offense to brethren. This takes in all indifferent things, whereby a brother is drawn into sin or trouble; or has his graces, his comforts, or his resolutions weakened. Hast thou faith? It is meant of knowledge and clearness as to our Christian liberty. Enjoy the comfort of it, but do not trouble others by a wrong use of it.
I was then lead to 2Peter 1:1-4 and shown to share these exhortations v2. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, an of Yeshua our Lord. v3. According to his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. v4 Whereby is given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
We find further information coming from Matthew Henry (1662-1774) as he describes who the people are Peter’s epistle is written to. They are described in the former epistle as elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, and here as having obtained precious faith in our Lord Yeshua.
For the faith here mentioned is vastly different from the false faith of the heretic, and the feigned faith of the hypocrite, and the fruitless faith of the formal professor, how orthodox soever he is. It is the faith of God’s elect (Titus 1:1), wrought by the Spirit of God in effectual calling. True faith is very excellent and of very high use and advantage to those who have it.
The Just lives by faith, a truly divine spiritual life; faith procures all the necessary supports and comforts of this excellent life; faith goes to Yeshua and buys the wine and milk (Isaiah 55:1) which are the proper nourishment of the new creature. Faith acquires and brings home the tried gold, the heavenly treasure that enriches. Faith takes and puts on the white raiment, the royal robes that clothe and adorn (Rev.2:18)
Faith is alike precious in the private believer and in the apostle. It produces the same precious effects in the one and in the other. Faith unites the weak believer to Yeshua as really as it does the strong one and purifies the heart of one as truly as of another. And every sincere believer is by faith-justified in the sight of God, and that from all sins (Acts 13:39).
Faith, in whomsoever it exists, takes hold of the same precious Saviour and applies the same precious promises. This precious faith is obtained from God. Faith is the gift of God, wrought by the Spirit, who raised up Yeshua from the dead.
The preciousness of faith, as well as our obtaining it, is through the righteousness of Yeshua. The satisfactory meritorious righteousness and obedience of Yeshua gives faith all its value and preciousness. And the righteousness of such a person cannot but be of infinite value to those who by faith receive it.
So we have been given the answer to the warning Joel spoke about coveting the worldly pleasures we have become accustomed to. Raise your faith to learn how precious it is to you, know where it is coming from, know that it will sustain you through troubled times. Let go of your worldly beliefs that Silver and Gold is going to comfort and provide for you during the turmoil ahead, it won’t you can’t spend what you don’t have. Remember all is going to be stripped including our comforts and that which we trust was going to comfort us. And finally the Caterpillar.
CLOSING STATEMENT by Robert
We have been forwarned and given time to get our spiritual house in order assess our walk, but more than anything time to make a choice which is more precious than anything. God has seen fit to demonstrate His patience, allow us time to gather information discern it and use it to make a choice which will affect our walk as we approach passing into eternal life. Brothers and sisters, I believe we should not take any of this for granted and think we have tons of time because we don’t be wise gather your info discern and move forward.
Begin practicing living with faith experience it become familiar with it, make it your walk. Truly and consciously letting go of what you believe is essential to your worldly and material comfort let go of the thoughts the things we think are essential to us, know in your heart if it goes it was only on loan anyway a momentary gift from God.
I am not suggesting to sell everything or jettison material things which bring us comfort and ease of life. What I am saying consciously become aware that our real comfort comes from our faith and who provided us with that faith. Know in your heart you will not grieve the loss of material nor fight to keep it, as it is just material. When this loss occurs know you will see as a follower and true believer having precious faith be provided for more than abundantly as promised.
The preciousness of faith, as well as our obtaining it, is through the righteousness of Yeshua. The satisfactory meritorious righteousness and obedience of Yeshua gives faith all its value and preciousness. And the righteousness of such a person cannot but be of infinite value to those who by faith receive it. Again I say be very careful of your choice knowing the truth as there will be many who will try to deceive you.
CLOSING PRAYER By Robert
The Holy Spirit lead me to Psalm 16:1-8 Preserve me O God: for in thee do I put my trust. v2. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord my goodness extendeth not to thee. v3. But to saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all delight. v4. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. v5. The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup thou maintainest my lot. v6. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places, yea, I have a goodly heritage. v7. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. v8. I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. This we pray in the name of Yeshua Amen.

For those who believe they are alone in life know this if you walk with our Father, he is with you all the time you are never alone you just need to call out to him and listen for his voice through the Holy Spirit.
Take a moment to put life on pause hear what is around you on a spiritual level, we are more than our fleshly body, remember we were formed in His likeness which is in the Spirit as he is, learn to connect with God in the spirit which you are. The flesh is just a vessel housing our spirit while we journey through this life. Be at peace brothers and sisters in Yeshua.
God’s speed in a beautiful day that our Lord has blessed us with.
Remember I am just the messenger bringing what is provided by the Holy Spirit, what you do with it is up to you. May our Lord keep you in peace and His love.

OPENING COMMENT’s by Robert

Today I placed my foot in Yeshua’s second footprint and what I was shown brought me to complete humility. The Holy Spirit revealed why Yahweh was calling us out of the worldly churches and their delusional walk. What became apparent was the Worldly churches have some knowledge of Scripture and some knowledge of Yeshua’s walk but really have no real understanding of the love and compassion Yahweh has for His children.  What is being passed to parishioners has no real depth to it no reasoning, no solid content, which brought me to fully understand why I loved Yeshua as deeply as I have.

My thinking brought me to know what Spiros Zodhiates, Th.D. related “how by looking at nature, one can observe God is indeed all-powerful, but creation does not necessarily reveal that He is an all-loving God of righteousness and justice. There is only so much of God one can know from God’s creation. However, to know the essence of God as a triune Deity one needs to receive His revelation by faith“.  

Reality set in ” I didn’t clearly understand what my walk was about nor did I fully understand what work Yahweh was performing in me through His Son Yeshua and the Holy Spirit.”  

I am doing the audit Yahweh called me to do, I’m revealing myself and the things in my walk which are out of line, and the Holy Spirit revealed I really don’t know as much as I believe I do.  

What became apparent Yahweh called us out to measure our walk, and through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit learn what we don’t understand and teach us how to gain what we are missing in our steps, to fully appreciate the depth of Yahweh’s love.  

We are being brought to a point individually, where each of us is going to realize just how much we don’t know about God’s love and how far we need to go to actually draw closer to Him in that love.  

In other words, we have just been Spiritually chastised by Yahweh and shown how important we are in God’s eyes. Is it possible complacency has drawn us to be blinded to what we actually have fallen into as a walk with Yeshua? Have we become so famous in our own minds we like the Israelites who were lead out of Egypt have been subjected to doing what is right in our own minds? 

Remember that thou was a servant, and God brought thee out. Deuteronomy 5:15 

“Wow,” newly found spiritual freedom with a flood of feelings as well a mental rush to recognize and accept, that in my previous walk it was not realized I was a servant to Evil. My last journey was leading me away from walking in God’s Laws and Covenants.

Like the Israelites who through, their Exodus were freed from Service to Egypt as slaves, we have just experienced a similar Exodus, not as slaves, however as unknowing captives to an evil ideology.

Just think, what must have gone through their minds, when they first left Egypt, leaving everything they saw as comfort, to follow Moses through the wilderness (Exodus 13:18). So in comparison, we have chosen to leave all we perceived as comfortable to go forward into a form of spiritual wilderness which is allowing us to search our walk, commitment, faith, find and improve our walk and relationships with God and His Son Yeshua. 

Let’s look at the similarity, recognize, God brought the Israelites through the wilderness to rid them of generations of idol worshippers of Baal, Moab, Aphrodite, and other pagan beliefs taken up and adopted during their period of slavery.

I am not suggesting Yahweh will do that with us. However, I am suggesting by having us go through a spiritual form of wilderness while stepping into Yeshua’s footprint. Many of our shortcomings will be revealed, assisting in removing them from our walkthrough, as well, allowing us to discover the depth of God’s love while drawing us closer to Yeshua, the Holy Spirit and through their teachings draw us deeper into Yahweh’s Love, strengthening our newfound connection to our Father in heaven.  

Matthew Henry’s comments about Exodus 14 where he explains how God protected the Israelites as they prepared to cross the Red Sea reveals the knowledge, we must have to never doubt God’s presence and protection. “The angel of God, whose ministry was made use of in the pillar of cloud and fire, went from before the camp of Israel. Where they did not now need a guide (there was no danger of missing their way through the sea, nor needed they any other word of command than to go forward), and it came behind them where now they needed a guard.“ 

Through this commentary, I recognized God was placing Yeshua and the Holy Spirit before us like the pillar to guide, protect and teach, showing it is our responsibility like the Israelites to continue moving forward spiritually to gain the rewards promised through living within God’s laws.  

Now knowing and being reassured, moving forward is important, the Israelites now understood the promised Land and covenants from God, so moving forward would become easier, but not without trials. 

The big question “What did God mean by follow my Laws”? What comes to mind, the Ten Commandments, and in that, I further question because we walk under Salvation, not the Law. Not so quick, Yeshua, from the Sermon on the Mount explains in Matthew 5:17   Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. v18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled. 

In looking for further understanding, I am drawing from Matthew Henry’s commentary which explains v17 and v18 “Let not the pious Jews, who have an affection for the Law and the prophets, fear that I come to destroy them.” The Saviour of souls is the destroyer of nothing but the works of the devil, of nothing that comes from God, much less of those excellent dictates which we have from Moses and the prophets. No, he came to fulfill them. That is, [1] to obey the commandments of the law, for he was made under the law. Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, made of woman, made under the law, 

It is becoming clearer what God is saying when he calls for us to follow His rules. Bishop Tillotson comments “he did not make void, but make right, the ceremonial law, and manifested himself to be the Substance of all those shadows. To fill up the defects of it, and so to complete and perfect it.” 

Of course, I’m going to hear, I know all this stuff, why are you reviewing in such detail? To answer accurately, like the Israelites, who God took through the wilderness for 40 years, removing those who continued to follow Baal, Moab, and other false religions.

God has asked us to remove ourselves from false teachings, He’s not going to take us through 40 yrs of cleansing, but is giving us a chance to seriously look at our walk and return to Him. Some will attempt to walk in both camps because they believe they know better and can do what they think is right. My reminder if you follow God then follow God if you follow Baal then follow Baal there is no middle ground it’s one or the other.

Here is where the Holy Spirit is working overtime reminding me how much I don’t understand and is desiring for me to begin listening. He leads me to Deuteronomy 12:3-4 In the commentaries Matthew Henry reveals  V.3: “And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of place. V.4: Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.” Further, in his comments, Matthew Henry relates, which I believe is very important and possibly would be missed by many “To prevent a revolt to false gods, we are forbidden to worship the true God in such a manner as the false gods were worshiped in .” 

The Holy Spirit placed the first commandment on my heart now when I read Matthew Henry’s comments not to worship God in the same manner as we did in the Worldly Churches. It appeared difficult as the Worldly Churches even though in error have adopted similar characteristics as a spirit-filled church.

However, I recognize the Worldly Church is missing the love God puts in His laws because the Holy Spirit is not there to teach about that love and the followers in those churches will not receive God’s promises or the covenants.  

The Worldly Church sees God’s laws as guidelines to perform within. Whereas the Holy Spirit filled church sees God’s Law as a way to recognize and understand the depth of His laws and the promises they bring if followed.  What comes to mind is expressed through this prayer in Luke 11:2-4 “And he said unto them. When ye pray, say. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” 

I am sure we all recognize the commitment God has for us and also, the love which supports that commitment. Which if we understand, accept and walk-in, we will expand that love to those who pass through our lives.

God is demonstrating through the prayer, how He is sharing that love through His forgiveness of our sins. But how for us as well to share that love by asking for forgiveness for others we spread His Love even further. It is in these actions of caring gentleness and compassion God’s Love is deepened.

Through God’s love, His children are being provided, for, daily, which demonstrates how we might through sharing God’s love, do the same for those who surround us daily by showing compassion and praying for their spiritual and physical needs.

We should recognize, there is a hedge of protection around us, always keeping us safe through His love which brings knowledge and draws us out of those moments of temptation, to be a brat. We all have that “when nobody is looking moment” and need God’s love to overcome those temptations due to knowing God is watching because He does love us. Now, I understand why  “Thou shalt have none other Gods before me.” God wants to pour his love into me into my spirit, soul and whole being so I might be a beacon for others to see how much love God has for them.

CLOSING COMMENTS By Robert The First Commandment now makes a whole lot more sense, I don’t see it as just a directive to worship God and only God and no other God. Yes, that is what He is commanding, however, I now have a different perspective and understanding of what I believe my Father in heaven really wants from all as His beloved children.

In desiring to have all His children, saved and unsaved, given an opportunity to receive His love. I feel the Holy Spirit placed this piece of inspiration on my heart some three years ago which I shared but never fully understood what it represented till now, It’s Titled                    

 “RECEIVING GODS LOVE.” 

People pass through our lives their life crosses over around and finally through. We know them as friends, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, daughters, sons, wives husbands, acquaintances or just someone we casually meet each fills a small detail leaving a mark or memory. Through their appearance, they were small pieces of Love, Joy, Fulfillment, a Question or Answer, a Statement or just a Word. Which stays with us as a part of our lives needed to complete our life’s’ journey sharing those little parts of ourselves as God’s messenger crossing through others lives in order to share those parts of us meant for them through God’s Love. 

I have always maintained that no one enters our lives by chance. I firmly believe all are lead into it for a purpose which we are not aware of and may never find out. But what we have gained from God to share with them will be there, and they will receive it whether it’s something we say or do it will be passed on.  

This writing has passed through your life, and a small part of it will remain to nurture answer or fulfill some of your needs as Gods Love.  THOU SHALT HAVE NONE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. Why would I want to have any other God before me My heart is filled with God’s Love? I have His promises and covenants to receive if I stay in His Love and obey Him as my Father Loving and Chaste

May you all be blessed 

Remember, these messages are given by a humble

servant obedient to our Lord Yeshua as a “Watchman.” I pray for all. ”Our Heavenly Father brings us to the river which bringeth forth fruit so we may partake of its sustenance and be filled spiritually with nurturing wisdom, and humble dedication in service to Yeshua.“ “Blessings to All.” As you go forward in peace, knowledge, and strength. In the name of Yeshua, we pray Amen and Amen.

Like the Israelites who through, their Exodus were freed from Service to Egypt as slaves, we have just experienced a similar Exodus, not as slaves, however as unknowing captives to an evil ideology.

Just think, what must have gone through their minds, when they first left Egypt, leaving everything they saw as comfort, to follow Moses through the wilderness (Exodus 13:18). So in comparison, we have chosen to leave all we perceived as comfortable to go forward into a form of spiritual wilderness which is allowing us to search our walk, commitment, faith, find and improve our walk and relationships with God and His Son Yeshua. 

Let’s look at the similarity, recognize, God brought the Israelites through the wilderness to rid them of generations of idol worshippers of Baal, Moab, Aphrodite, and other pagan beliefs taken up and adopted during their period of slavery.

I am not suggesting Yahweh will do that with us. However, I am suggesting by having us go through a spiritual form of wilderness while stepping into Yeshua’s footprint. Many of our shortcomings will be revealed, assisting in removing them from our walkthrough, as well, allowing us to discover the depth of God’s love while drawing us closer to Yeshua, the Holy Spirit and through their teachings draw us deeper into Yahweh’s Love, strengthening our newfound connection to our Father in heaven.  

Matthew Henry’s comments about Exodus 14 where he explains how God protected the Israelites as they prepared to cross the Red Sea reveals the knowledge, we must have to never doubt God’s presence and protection. “The angel of God, whose ministry was made use of in the pillar of cloud and fire, went from before the camp of Israel. Where they did not now need a guide (there was no danger of missing their way through the sea, nor needed they any other word of command than to go forward), and it came behind them where now they needed a guard.“ 

Through this commentary, I recognized God was placing Yeshua and the Holy Spirit before us like the pillar to guide, protect and teach, showing it is our responsibility like the Israelites to continue moving forward spiritually to gain the rewards promised through living within God’s laws.  

Now knowing and being reassured, moving forward is important, the Israelites now understood the promised Land and covenants from God, so moving forward would become easier, but not without trials. 

The big question “What did God mean by follow my Laws”? What comes to mind, the Ten Commandments, and in that, I further question because we walk under Salvation, not the Law. Not so quick, Yeshua, from the Sermon on the Mount explains in Matthew 5:17   Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. v18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled. 

In looking for further understanding, I am drawing from Matthew Henry’s commentary which explains v17 and v18 “Let not the pious Jews, who have an affection for the Law and the prophets, fear that I come to destroy them.” The Saviour of souls is the destroyer of nothing but the works of the devil, of nothing that comes from God, much less of those excellent dictates which we have from Moses and the prophets. No, he came to fulfill them. That is, [1] to obey the commandments of the law, for he was made under the law. Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, made of woman, made under the law, 

It is becoming clearer what God is saying when he calls for us to follow His rules. Bishop Tillotson comments “he did not make void, but make right, the ceremonial law, and manifested himself to be the Substance of all those shadows. To fill up the defects of it, and so to complete and perfect it.” 

Of course, I’m going to hear, I know all this stuff, why are you reviewing in such detail? To answer accurately, like the Israelites, who God took through the wilderness for 40 years, removing those who continued to follow Baal, Moab, and other false religions.

God has asked us to remove ourselves from false teachings, He’s not going to take us through 40 yrs of cleansing, but is giving us a chance to seriously look at our walk and return to Him. Some will attempt to walk in both camps because they believe they know better and can do what they think is right. My reminder if you follow God then follow God if you follow Baal then follow Baal there is no middle ground it’s one or the other.

Here is where the Holy Spirit is working overtime reminding me how much I don’t understand and is desiring for me to begin listening. He leads me to Deuteronomy 12:3-4 In the commentaries Matthew Henry reveals  V.3: “And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of place. V.4: Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.” Further, in his comments, Matthew Henry relates, which I believe is very important and possibly would be missed by many “To prevent a revolt to false gods, we are forbidden to worship the true God in such a manner as the false gods were worshiped in .” 

The Holy Spirit placed the first commandment on my heart now when I read Matthew Henry’s comments not to worship God in the same manner as we did in the Worldly Churches. It appeared difficult as the Worldly Churches even though in error have adopted similar characteristics as a spirit-filled church.

However, I recognize the Worldly Church is missing the love God puts in His laws because the Holy Spirit is not there to teach about that love and the followers in those churches will not receive God’s promises or the covenants.  

The Worldly Church sees God’s laws as guidelines to perform within. Whereas the Holy Spirit filled church sees God’s Law as a way to recognize and understand the depth of His laws and the promises they bring if followed.  What comes to mind is expressed through this prayer in Luke 11:2-4 “And he said unto them. When ye pray, say. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” 

I am sure we all recognize the commitment God has for us and also, the love which supports that commitment. Which if we understand, accept and walk-in, we will expand that love to those who pass through our lives.

God is demonstrating through the prayer, how He is sharing that love through His forgiveness of our sins. But how for us as well to share that love by asking for forgiveness for others we spread His Love even further. It is in these actions of caring gentleness and compassion God’s Love is deepened.

Through God’s love, His children are being provided, for, daily, which demonstrates how we might through sharing God’s love, do the same for those who surround us daily by showing compassion and praying for their spiritual and physical needs.

We should recognize, there is a hedge of protection around us, always keeping us safe through His love which brings knowledge and draws us out of those moments of temptation, to be a brat. We all have that “when nobody is looking moment” and need God’s love to overcome those temptations due to knowing God is watching because He does love us. Now, I understand why  “Thou shalt have none other Gods before me.” God wants to pour his love into me into my spirit, soul and whole being so I might be a beacon for others to see how much love God has for them.

CLOSING COMMENTS By Robert The First Commandment now makes a whole lot more sense, I don’t see it as just a directive to worship God and only God and no other God. Yes, that is what He is commanding, however, I now have a different perspective and understanding of what I believe my Father in heaven really wants from all as His beloved children.

In desiring to have all His children, saved and unsaved, given an opportunity to receive His love. I feel the Holy Spirit placed this piece of inspiration on my heart some three years ago which I shared but never fully understood what it represented till now, It’s Titled                    

 “RECEIVING GODS LOVE.” 

People pass through our lives their life crosses over around and finally through. We know them as friends, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, daughters, sons, wives husbands, acquaintances or just someone we casually meet each fills a small detail leaving a mark or memory. Through their appearance, they were small pieces of Love, Joy, Fulfillment, a Question or Answer, a Statement or just a Word. Which stays with us as a part of our lives needed to complete our life’s’ journey sharing those little parts of ourselves as God’s messenger crossing through others lives in order to share those parts of us meant for them through God’s Love. 

I have always maintained that no one enters our lives by chance. I firmly believe all are lead into it for a purpose which we are not aware of and may never find out. But what we have gained from God to share with them will be there, and they will receive it whether it’s something we say or do it will be passed on.  

This writing has passed through your life, and a small part of it will remain to nurture answer or fulfill some of your needs as Gods Love.  THOU SHALT HAVE NONE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME. Why would I want to have any other God before me My heart is filled with God’s Love? I have His promises and covenants to receive if I stay in His Love and obey Him as my Father Loving and Chaste

May you all be blessed
