PRE-AMBLE by Robert

I published the following expose on January 11th, 2018, the intent was to show discerning businessmen how to succeed using the following template. What I have come to realize is this template is applicable for today’s “Modern Day Disciples” doing God’s work.

We wonder, where some garner success in business and as well in their spiritual walk. I believe many who walk in the light and hold to spiritual discernment see the advantages of this template to success both physically and especially Spiritually. It becomes a personal choice. However, I see it as an excellent guide to succeeding in all aspects of our spiritual life, a blueprint to achieve, “yes!”

“Have you ever approached a responsibility with this kind of single-mindedness and careful planning, while ultimately depending on God?”

  • 1). Accepted the challenge?
  • 2). Examine alternatives?
  • 3)Promise to follow instructions?
  • 4). Made a plan?
  • 5). Submitted the plan to God?
  • 6). Prayed for guidance?TORAH 1
  • 7). Devised a strategy with room for God to operate?
  • 8). Waited?
  • 9). Watched closely?
  • 10). Accepted the answer thankfully?
  • 11). Explained the situation to concerned parties?
  • 12). Refused unnecessary delay?
  • 13). Followed through with the entire plan?
  • “It’s your move,” but keep in mind follow all the steps no shortcuts, they won’t work here.

If you recall, we were shown by the Holy Spirit in ‘THERE CAN BE NO TRUE PEACE WITHOUT GRACE.” where he revealed, “For our Salvation to have any value in God’s eyes, it must be shared.  

FRUIT 002OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father we have found in our walk your fruits of the Spirit which nourish and strengthen us. We thank you “Oh Lord” for all which has been shared through the Holy Spirit your wisdom, understanding, discernment, courage, and patience.

We continue to ask Father for your knowledge to be with us so we would substantiate your Love and compassion. We pray, Father, that which we sow through our examples of your work will mature and bear fruit in your name. Gather us into your fold so we will walk in your shadow Father reflecting your light into the world and sharing the living water you have placed in us, Lord. We pray this in your name Yeshua Amen and Amen

OPENING COMMENTS by Robert  

The Lord has filled us His “Modern Day Disciples” with Love and Compassion, but he has also provided us with a strong, caring character filled with courage. As I see and hear the cries from God’s children about being destitute, vexed, wearied, confused and searching. It becomes apparent they recognize the lack of essential scriptural teachings and are looking for a shepherd for leadership and guidance but have not found many which are suitable for shepherding or as leaders to follow. 

BAPTISM 11We find Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) in his commentary on Matthew 9:35 explaining as “Modern Day Disciples what should be happening and to whom. “Christ came to teach us, not only what we are to know and believe, but what we are to do; not only toward God but toward men; not only toward those of our party and persuasion but toward men in general, all with whom we have to do. We must do that to our neighbour which we acknowledge being fit and reasonable. We must, in our dealings with men, suppose ourselves in the same case and circumstances with those we have to do with and act accordingly. There are but two ways right and wrong, good and evil; the way to heaven and the road to hell; in the one or other of these all are walking: there is no middle place hereafter, no middle way now“. 

We will find as we go forward it is common with people not to apply to Yeshua till they have tried in vain all other helpers, and see them, as undoubtedly they will, physicians of no value. Some run to diversions; others plunge into business, or even into intemperance; others go about to establish their own righteousness or torment themselves by vain superstitions. Many perish in these ways; but none will ever find rest to the soul by such devices; while those whom Yeshua heals of the disease of sin, find in themselves an entire change for the better. As secret acts of sin, so secret acts of faith, are known to Yeshua. 

We again hear from Matthew Henry (1662 -1774) Christian liberty was allowed, not for our pleasure, but for the glory of God, and the good of others. We must please our neighbour, for the good of his soul; not by serving his wicked will, and sinfully humoring him; if we thus seek to please men, we are not the servants of Yeshua. Yeshua’s whole life was a self-denying, self-displeasing life. And he is the most advanced Believer, who is the most conformed to Yeshua“. 

PLANTING GARDEN“Modern Day Disciples,” should look upon themselves as God’s servants, and act in everything suitably to that character. The apostle did so, by much patience in afflictions, by acting on sound principles, and by due temper and behaviour. Believers, in this world, need the grace of God, to arm them against temptations, to bear the excellent report of men without pride; and to take their reproaches with patience. 

 

In Luke 8:15 Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) shows how we flourish. Happy are we, and forever indebted to free grace, if the same thing that is a parable to others, with which they are only amused, is a plain truth to us, by which we are taught and governed. We ought to take heed of the things that will hinder our profiting by the word. We hear; to take heed lest we understand IMG_20180305_1653568.jpgcarelessly and slightly, lest we entertain prejudices against the word we hear; and to take heed to our spirits after we have listened to the word, lest we lose what we have gained. The gifts we have will be continued to us or not, as we use them for the glory of God, and the good of our brethren. Nor is it enough not to hold the truth in unrighteousness; we should desire to hold forth the word of life, and to shine, giving light to all around.  

We see from the words “purifying their hearts by faith,” and the address of  Peter, that justification by faith, and sanctification by the Holy Ghost, cannot be separated; and that both are the gift of God. We have great cause to bless God that we have heard the gospel. May we have that faith which the great Searcher of hearts approves, and attests by the seal of the Holy Spirit. Then our hearts and consciences will be purified from the guilt of sin, and we shall be freed from the burdens some try to lay upon the disciples of Christ.

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert 

CLOUDS & SKY 002 - CopyWe have found it is our responsibility to understand how important it is to sow good seeds to produce fruit worthy to be presented before our Lords throne. As “FISHER’S OF MEN,” or as “MODERN DAY DISCIPLES” which we find ourselves being both in different situations. We must have the discernment to fully understand what Yeshua’s meaning was in Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”  Do we realize only God could speak these words as it is a testimony of His omnipresence? And it is essential to note Yeshua is not there to spy out their sins, or to mark down the imperfections of their worship. But to enlighten, strengthen, comfort, and most importantly to save them.

I desire to close this article by quoting Matthew Henry’s (1662 – 1774) comments on Matthew 18:20 as they have given me and I hope those who have read this article a fresh perspective and approach to casting your nets into the darkness. I believe in his words we have found Apostle Paul’s answer to how he dealt with the abuses he suffered.

If a professed Believer is wronged by another, he ought not to complain of it to others, as is often done merely upon report, but to go to the offender privately, state the matter kindly, and show him his conduct. This would generally have all the desired effect with a True Believer, and the parties would be reconciled. The principles of these rules may be practiced everywhere, and under all circumstances, though they are too much neglected by all. But how few try the method which Yeshua has expressly enjoined to all his disciples! In all our proceedings we should seek direction in prayer; we cannot too highly prize the promises of God. Wherever and whenever we meet in the name of Yeshua, we should consider him as present in the midst of us.

SHEPHERDNow having this example before us, you would think to go forward should be a whole lot less complicated and with fewer distractions. How better to diffuse the enemy then by confronting him directly and actually demonstrating God’s strength, love, compassion and desire to save all especially having Yeshua present to make it happen.  

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Father in heaven we thank you for all your precious teachings, guidance, and patience as we learn to walk as your “Modern Day Disciples.” We relish your presence at all times when we are demonstrating and sharing your words with those who need to see them in action and eventually hear them. We find your blessings as food for our spirits strengthening us and lifting our words and actions. Our reservoir of living water is always full for the sharing to those who are thirsting for your eternal quenching of their thirst. Father, we thank you for our health and strengths, this we pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen.

Please remember these articles are shared by a humble, obedient servant doing ourwp-15783844314577572800858183375246.jpg Lord’s bidding to share His words and warnings as shown. May our Father continue to bless all as they go forward in doing his bidding. Matthew 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.”

God’s blessings.

“WHO WILL THREAD THE NEEDLE?”

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

Having, been shown about passivity and how to deal with it, the Holy Spirit is now bringing us to a new level of discernment and decision-making. We will be brought to a position that is going to not only challenge the depth of our walk but as well our profession of Faith. Peter in the last article “NOW THE WORK BEGINS” where he is speaking about faith and the many different levels of those professing faith clearly show’s many are trying to fool God

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) comments on Peter’s teachings (1Peter 1:1). “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 (Titus1:1), wrought by the Spirit of God in effectual calling.” 

I’m now cautioning those about to partake in this article initially you will be challenged by what you’re about to be shown. However, understand our Lord speaks only the truth and what is being revealed by the Holy Spirit we all need to see, recognize, accept, and work with. These articles are being furnished for all to read as warnings from a “WATCHMAN” who has been shown there is trouble in the flock which needs tending to, and those hearing our “Father’s” call to return to His teachings will be shown what it is, who is affected, and how to use their free will to repair it.  (Ezekiel 3:17 – 21) 

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father, hear my petition for your children Lord. Bring upon them your spirit of understanding, loose onto them Father a spiritual lifting of the veils covering their eyes so they can see the truth. Take all thoughts of false glory Father, religious pride, loose unto them Father your spirit of humility peace and joy. Bring forward the spirit of discernment that their minds will be clear and receiving of your truth through the Holy Spirit as he reveals your Truth. This I pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen. 

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert 

Yeshua was sharing with his disciples, I believe, possibly one of the most difficult lessons they may have had to face. Matthew 19:23 -26 Then said Yeshua unto his disciples, verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. v24. And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. v25. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? v26. But Yeshua beheld them, and said unto them, With men, this is impossible but with God all things are possible.

Matthew Henry ( 1662 – 1774) gives a rendition of why it is difficult for a rich man to be a good Christian, and to be saved to enter into the kingdom of heaven, either here or hereafter. The way to heaven is to all a narrow way, and the gate that leads into it, a strait gate but it is particularly so to rich people. More duties are expected from them than from others, which they can hardly do and more sins do easily beset them, which they can hardly avoid. Rich people have great temptations to resist, and such as are very insinuating it is hard not to be charmed with a smiling world very hard, when we are filled with these hid treasures, not to take up with them for a portion. It must be a great measure of divine grace that will enable a man to break through these difficulties.

So, we now have a reason explained which gives us the ground work as soldiers to lay out a plan of how we are going to approach this battle as a family. You see I believe we are all a part of the family no matter our worldly position like the Lord says with God all things are possible. So let’s look for some resources we can use as a foundation to build on keeping in mind all in the family must daily be working out our salvation. But now we know it may be a bit more difficult for some, however they are still a part of the family needing our support.  

Here, I’m turning to who I believe is a seasoned warrior and can shed some light on this picture of who we are in our spiritual regeneration. Jesse Penn Lewis (1861 -1927) in her book “WAR ON THE SAINTS” on pages 209 & 210 shares some thought-provoking facts of how The “NATURAL” Verses The “SPIRITUAL Man. she wrote At first the regenerated man is but a “babe in Christ,” manifesting many of the characteristics of the natural man in jealousy, strife, etc (1Cor.3:1-4) until he apprehends the need of a fuller reception of the Holy Spirit to dwell in the regenerated spirit as His sanctuary. The unregenerate man is wholly dominated by soul and body. The regenerate man has his spirit (1) quickened, and (2) indwelt by the Holy Spirit, yet may be governed by soul and body because his spirit is compressed and bound. The Spiritual man has his spirit liberated from bondage to the soul (Heb. 4: 12) to be the organ of the Holy Spirit in mind and body.

“It is then that, by the Holy Spirit’s power, his volition is brought into harmony with God in all His laws and purposes, and the whole outer man into self-control. Thus it is written “The fruit of the Spirit… is self-control. (Gal. 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law). It is not only love,joy, peace, long-suffering, and gentleness, manifested through the channel of the soul –the personality — but in a true dominion over the world of himself, (1) every thought brought into captivity, in the same obedience to the will of the Father as was manifested in Yeshua (2Cor. 10:5 Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Yeshua). (2) His spirit “ruled” also from the chamber of the will, so that he is of a “cool spirit” and can “keep back” or utter at his will what is in his spirit as well as what is in his mind, (Prov. 17:27) and (3) his body so obedient to the helm of the will, that it is a disciplined and alert instrument to be handled intelligently as a vehicle for service, and not any longer master of the man, or the mere tool of Satan and unruly desires.”

We are going to move onto Hebrews 6 1-8 where Matthew Henry (1662 – 1771) asks “why did Paul set strong meat before the Hebrews, when he knew they were but babes? Answer Though some of them were but weak, yet others of them had gained more strength and they must be provided for suitably. And as those who are grown Christians must be willing to hear the plainest truths preached for the sake of the weak, so the weak must be willing to hear the more difficult and mysterious truths preached for the sake of those who are strong. He hoped they would be growing in their spiritual strength and stature, and so be able to digest stronger meat.” 

The premise of Paul’s, letter to the Hebrews was to persuade and press the believing Hebrews to a constant adherence to the Christian faith, and perseverance in it, notwithstanding all the sufferings they might meet with in so doing. The comparison I make here is to the initial reference that it is difficult for the Rich to walk as Christians. I believe with the tools and knowledge being provided that statement would only be true due to individual choice to succumb to the temptations. I also believe that those who are successful because of their individual intellect would if given proper leadership have no difficulty in following Yeshua.  

Jesse Penn Lewis (1861 – 1927) adds to our weapons and plan of attack remember Peter talked about all the different levels of faith being demonstrated. Ms. Penn Lewis draws our attention to use our free will and faith combination. She states the following on pg 211 – 212 in “WAR ON THE SAINTS”  In the hour of his regeneration God gives to man the decisive liberty of will to rule over himself, as he walks in fellowship with God. And by this restoration of a will free to act in choosing for God, SATAN LOSES HIS POWER. Satan is the god of this world, and he rules the world through the will of men enslaved by, him, enslaved not only directly, but indirectly, by inciting men to enslave one another and to covet the power of “influence,” whereas they should work with God to restore to every man the freedom of his own personal volition, and the power of choice to do right because it is right, obtained for them at Calvary. 

What I’m recognizing at this point is just how important having the proper understanding of what it is Yeshua was speaking about in the parable of rich men. As like most my mind jumped to all the material things of the world. Specifically, that is only part of what Yeshua wants us to see the second part of this information is spiritual as it involves all those who are following the Lord and have received his spiritual gifts.  Once we receive the gifts from Yeshua it places us in the category of being a rich man spiritually and in the eyes of Satan as such a special target. because as stated more is expected of the rich whether material or spiritual. We are shown In James 2:3 – 5 how easy it is to fall into Satan’s trap v3. And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool. v4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? v5. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?  

These verses show the makeup of God’s family and how Satan can and does divide us by planting sinful divisive thoughts (2Cor:10:4-5) where we despise the poor causing many to forget the poor are spiritually rich and heirs of the kingdom. I stated in the beginning of this article as a family in Yeshua we were going to obtain as many weapons as we can to do battle against the enemy placing temptations before the rich (2Cor 10:3-4).  I believe the Holy Spirit has brought us information who the rich Yeshua is speaking about in the parable, those in the world who are blessed materially and those in the world who are poor but blessed Spiritually and made heirs to the kingdom.  

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) gives us a look at who we would become as a part of Yeshua’s family falling for Satan’s subtle temptations. Consider how often riches lead to vice and mischief, and what great reproaches are thrown upon God and religion, by men of wealth, power, and worldly greatness; and it will make this sin appear very sinful and foolish. The scripture gives us a law, to love our neighbour as ourselvesThis is a royal law, it comes from the King of kings; and if Christians act unjustly, they are convicted by the law as transgressors. This shows the happiness of those that are in Yeshua. We may serve him without slavish fear. God’s restraints are not a bondage, but our own corruptions are so. 

Our search for more weapons and details to add to our plan of attack and defence bring us to 2 Timothy 2: 1 – 7  where Paul was encouraging Timothy, “the first of the weapons we are going to find, to constancy and perseverance in his work. Here is a major weapon being identified be strong in the grace that is in Yeshua. (2Timothy 2:1) Paul then advises Timothy those who have work to do for God must stir up themselves to do it, and strengthen themselves for it. Being strong in the grace that is in Yeshua may be understood in opposition to the weakness of grace. Where there is the truth of grace there must be a labouring after the strength of graceAs our trials increase, we have need to grow stronger and stronger in that which is good; our faith stronger, our resolution stronger, our love to God and Yeshua stronger.  

We were initially warned those who are perceived as prosperous more is expected of them this was first applied to worldly prosperity and through our definition, spiritual prosperity falls in that area as well. Our enemy Satan has by now realized how strong the family is becoming and is going to shift his attack into a higher level of deceptions, temptations and subtleties. Paul wrote about this in Romans 16:18 and John Gill (1697 – 1771) gives us a very clear picture of what form the new attacks will take. And by good words, and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple, they were deceivers; they lay in wait to deceive, made use of the hidden things of dishonesty, walked in craftiness, and handled the word of God deceitfully, and therefore to be marked and avoided: they deceived “the simple”, harmless, and innocent, that thinks no evil, nor are aware of any; who have a little understanding of things; persons of weak minds, easy to be imposed upon; very credulous, ready to believe every word, so the simple man does, as Solomon says, Proverbs 14:15 and such teachers choose to tamper with, and make their attacks upon, being able to gain upon them the most easily, as their father the devil, the old serpent, did, when he first assailed human nature: the “hearts” of these they deceive; they work upon their affections, blind their understandings, impose on their judgments, and corrupt their minds from the simplicity that is in Yeshua: and this they do “by good words and fair speeches.”

Mr Gill has given a description of how the attacks will take place, I’m turning to Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) to describe what weapons we need to use in this battle To be wise unto that which is good, that is, to be skillful and intelligent in the truths and ways of God. “Be wise to try the spirits, to prove all things, and then to hold fast that only which is good.” There is need of a great deal of wisdom in our adherence to good truths, and good duties, and good people, lest in any of these we be imposed upon and deluded. Be ye, therefore, wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16), wise to discern that which is really good and that which is counterfeit wise to distinguish things that differ, to improve opportunities. While we are in the midst of so many deceivers, we have great need of that wisdom of the prudent which is to understand his way (Proverbs 14:8. 

Now, capping this off with some instructions on how to use the weapons Mr. Gill and Mr. Henry have provided I’m turning to Jesse Penn Lewis (1861 -1927) to guide us in how to connect our spirit with the Holy Spirit and know we are in God’s will. Ms. Lewis on pages 214 – 215 in WAR ON THE SAINTS relates the following: The believer’s life is, therefore, to be a walk “after the spirit” minding “the things of the spirit” (Romans 8: 4-5). The word “spirit” is not written with a capital “S” denoting the Spirit of God, but with a small “s” as referring to the spirit of man. But the believer can only thus walk “after the spirit,” if the Spirit of God dwells in him (Romans 8:9), the Holy Spirit lifting his spirit to the place of rule over soul and body—” flesh,” both ethically and physically—by joining it to the Risen Lord, and making it “one spirit” with Him (1Cor. 6:17). 

That the believer retains volitional control over his own spirit is the important point to note, and through ignorance he can withdraw his spirit from co-operation with the Holy Spirit, and thus, so to speak, “walk” after the soul, or after the flesh unwittingly. 

The knowledge that the Spirit of God has come to indwell the shrine of the spirit, is not enough to guarantee that the believer will continue to walk in the spirit, and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. (Gal. 5:16). If he lives by the spirit he must learn how to walk by the Spirit, and for this understand how to “combine” and “compare” spiritual things with spiritual (1Cor. 2:13) so as to interpret truly the things of the Spirit of God, exercising the spirit faculty by which he is able to examine all things, and discern the mind of the Lord.  

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

 What, can I say that this article hasn’t already stated, possibly know that our walks ae going to get deeper and deeper remember I said we are being shown the same material the original disciples were taught during their three years with Yeshua. Something referenced tonight was the Lord sent the disciples out without anything and they survived. I say to all learn to study the word seek information, if you have a question don’t be shy please ask I’m on Facebook (Watchman’s Trumpet), twitter (@robertrombough) as well I would hope and pray you will share. I find it amazing that commentators from 16th century are describing our churches of today. that shows me they truly were walking with Yeshua. Blessings to all. 

CLOSING PRAYER

“THE COMFORTING HAND OF GOD”


PETER 1

And he said, come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on water, to go to Yeshua. v.30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid and beginning to sink, he cried saying, Lord, save me, v.31 And immediately Yeshua stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, ‘O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt.’  (Matthew 29 – 31)

PRE-AMBLE by Robert 

As “Modern Day Disciples,” our walk, faith, and discernment like the early “Apostles” have been deepened, we are being drawn into a very deep personal relationship with Yeshua. Having been shown there will be moments of turmoil which like Peter will frighten us, as we may not entirely comprehend, and because of our relationship with our Lord, call out for his assistance when we believe we are failing not realizing we have in our spirit doubted what we have received as truth.PEOPLE 8

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) brings to light a reflection we need to ponder on in his commentary. “Special supports are promised and are to be expected, but only in spiritual pursuits; nor can we ever come to Yeshua, unless we are upheld by his power. Yeshua bade Peter come, not only that he might walk upon the water, and so know his Lord’s power, but that he might know his own weakness. And the Lord often lets his servants have their choice, to humble and prove them, and to show the greatness of his power and grace. When we look off from Yeshua and look at the greatness of opposing difficulties, we shall begin to fall; but when we call to him, he will stretch out his arm, and save us. Yeshua is the great Saviour; those who would be saved, must come to him, and cry to him, for salvation; we are never brought to this, till we find ourselves sinking: the sense of need drives us to him. He rebuked Peter. Could we but believe more, we should suffer less. The weakness of faith and the prevailing of our doubts displease our Lord, for there is no good reason why Yeshua’s disciples should be of a doubtful mind. Even on a stormy day, he is to them a very present help. None but the world’s Creator could multiply the loaves, none but its Governor could tread upon the waters of the sea: the disciples yield to the evidence, and confess their faith. They were suitably affected and worshipped, Yeshua. He that comes to God must believe, and he that believes in God will come (Hebrews 11:6.)”

PEOPLE 7Full satisfaction is reserved for the future state. Your joys shall be constant. God not only works in them a gracious desire for these pleasures but by his Spirit fills your souls with joy and peace in believing. He quickens whom he will; and whoever will, may come, and take from him of the waters of life freely. May we know, and love, and uprightly serve the Lord; then no proud enemy, on earth or from hell, shall separate us from his love. Faith calleth things that are not, as though they were. It carries us forward to the end of time; it shows us the Lord, on his throne of judgment; the empire of sin fallen to rise no more.

OPENING PRAYER by Robert   

All things are in your control heavenly Father, including our walk to eternal life CANADIAN MARITIME 014with you. We ask Lord for you to reveal through the Holy Spirit how to appropriately share our gift with those trapped in the darkness of this world. We pray for Father a deep discernment and understanding of how to use your gifts to be the most effective example of reflecting your light love and compassion to them. Deepen our enthusiasm and determination to withstand the wiles of the enemy preventing us from approaching them. Fill us with determination to expel our doubts and fears. We give thanks to you Lord and pray this in your name Yeshua. Amen and Amen,”  

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert 

Is it not curious how we hold ourselves back from utilizing the wondrous gifts PEOPLE 2which have been offered. When I think about how many who surround me declaring their love and desire to serve and be with our Saviour Yeshua. Yet suffer shortcomings in their walk daily when they should be walking in peace and joy praising God for His gifts while using and sharing them. What was shown in “THERE CAN BE NO TRUE PEACE WITHOUT GRACE” published Jan 20, 2020,” For our Salvation to have any value in God’s eyes, it must be shared.Is now revealing where some of our weaknesses are. This article is going to introduce us on how to recognize we are in God’s Hands and why we should not have doubt in our lives. We are going to find how Yeshua while walking in this world was able through his faith, and without doubt, was through His Father performing all His miracles. (John 8:54).

Yeshua through the Holy Spirit is allowing us to look deep into our commitment to see our weaknesses and fears. He is going to allow us to follow our choices until we recognize our failing ways and will then lift us up so we might truly witness His power that we may obtain a greater level of acceptance thus removing doubt from our being and walk. (Acts 10:38) “How God anointed Yeshua of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him.”  

Our past articles I believe, have, lead us to this position in our walks. Yeshua called Peter to come to him and he was walking on water until he took his eyes off of Him. After rescuing Peter Yeshua pointed out why he failed,  O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt.’  (Matthew 29 – 31). In that quick statement to Peter, Yeshua is identifying with us why we are not able to utilize all of God’s gifts. It is a lack of faith and doubt, along with the acceptance of our enemies lies that the time for Healings and Miracles has passed.

I believe Peter in Acts 10:34 dispells this lie by saying “Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.  So, in my humble opinion “for what it is worth,” do not believe God has stopped bestowing the Gifts received at Pentecost through the Fingers of fireBaptism of “The Holy Ghost.” and here is why! When we read the following (Acts 10:42) ” And he commanded us to preach unto the people and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. v.43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins, v.44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard the word. v.45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. v.46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, v.47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?  

Well I, know there will be those who will question my position which is their right. However, I cannot nor will not set aside this evidence showing as Yeshua states      O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt.’  (Matthew 29 – 31). I am calling all those walking as “Modern Day Apostles” to recognize what Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) revealed “Yeshua bade Peter come, not only that he might walk upon the water, and so know his Lord’s power, but that he might know his own weakness. And the Lord often lets his servants have their choice, to humble and prove them, and to show the greatness of his power and grace.” 

This article “THE COMFORTING HAND OF GOD” for me relates where I am with God, and there should be no “DOUBT” in my walk which will affect my performance as His obedient servant. Meaning, and remember, it is up to God who he bestows His SHEPHERD 4heavenly gifts too, not as a respecter of men, but as the omnipotent Father who knows the true position of a believer’s heart, faith and journey.

So it now becomes clear why we were lead to analyze our walk through the past article “ARE YOU KNOWN BY YOUR FRUITS” published Jan.14, 2020? Here, it is becoming clear how God is leading us to follow His Son’s footsteps and those of the early Apostles. Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) explained it “Christ came to teach us, not only what we are to know and believe, but what we are to do. Not only toward God but toward men, not only toward those of our party but toward all men.” The Holy Ghost fell upon others after they were baptized, to confirm them in the faith; but upon these Gentiles, before they were baptized, to show that God does STAFF 1not confine himself to outward signs. The Holy Ghost fell upon those who were neither circumcised nor baptized; it is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. They magnified God and spake of Christ and the benefits of redemption. Whatever gift we are endued with, we ought to honour God with it. The believing Jews who were present were astonished that the gift of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.

By mistaken notions of things, we make difficult for ourselves as to the methods of Divine providence and grace. As they were undeniably baptized with the Holy Ghost, Peter concluded they were not to be refused the baptism of water, and the ordinance was administered. The argument is conclusive; can we deny the sign to those who have received the things signified? Those who have some acquaintance with Christ, cannot but desire more. Even those who have received the Holy Ghost must see their need of daily learning more of the truth. Peter then commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert 

I truly believe the following comments quoted here best describes how the early assemblies were being established through the devotion of the Apostle Peter as described in the Expositor’s Bible Commentary. Our lives may be very ordinary and commonplace, the events may succeed one another in the most matter-of-fact style. There may seem in them nothing at all worth the attention of a Divine Ruler, yet those ordinary lives are just as much planned and guided by supernatural wisdom as the careers of men concerning whom all the world is talking. Only let us take care to follow Peter’s example. He yielded himself completely to the Divine guidance, trusted himself completely to the Divine love and wisdom, and then found in such trust not only life and safety but what is far better, perfect peace and sweetest calm.

There are men never tired of running from one committee to another, and never weary of seeing their names in the morning papers. They count they have been busily and usefully employed if their names are perpetually appearing in newspaper reports as speaking, or at any rate being present, at innumerable meetings, leaving themselves no time for that quiet meditation whereby Peter gained the closest communion with heaven.

Pure and undefiled religion is sometimes found where we least expect it. Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and of PETER 5piety, neither will excuse from the other. Doubtless, Cornelius had true faith in God’s word, as far as he understood it, though not as yet clear faith in Yeshua. This was the work of the Spirit of God, through the mediation of Yeshua, even before Cornelius knew him, as is the case with us all when we, who before were dead in sin, are made alive. Through Yeshua also his prayers and alms were accepted, which otherwise would have been rejected. Without dispute or delay, Cornelius was obedient to the heavenly vision. In the affairs of our souls, let us not lose time.

Like Peter as “Modern Day Disciples, “we should follow his leadership, Peter was successful in opening the door of faith for many. Because he prepared himself for doing the Divine work by the discipline of meditation, deliberation, and prayer with his Risen Lord. Here I will remind you of the template I revealed at the start of the article. We must recognize a period of pause, repose, and quietness should proceed with a new onward movement of development and of action. 

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

PEOPLE 778Father as you have us in your presence and hold us in your hands we ask for your gentleness to be upon us that we may know how it feels and are able to share it. Receive our devotion and submission to your will as dedicated servants humbly bowing before your throne, Shape and mould us into the disciples you desire Father. Fill us with your wisdom that we might hold no fear or doubt as we go forward sharing your light, living water, love, compassion, and healings as your “Modern Day Disciples. This we pray in your name Yeshua Amen and Amen. 

R_DSC0145-27emember these articles are from a humble obedient servant doing Yeshua’s bidding as He reveals His warnings. I pray our Lord Yeshua blesses each and everyone along with your families. Go in peace.

Genesis 12:3 “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

THIRD SOUNDING OF TRUMPET OF SIGNS AND PERSECUTION


This message was received and first published on June 28, 1993, by Robert. It goes as follows. On the 3rd of December 2020, and on 9th of April 2021, I put this message into a letter form and offered it as a sounding Trumpet issuing a current warning. The following needs to be sent out again, as the Lord is pressing on me to do so.

The Lord brought me to a place (spiritually) where His word came to me “Son of Man,” thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see and see not; they have ears to hear and hear not: for they are rebellious (Ezek.12:1). 

I have made thee a Watchman, therefore hear the word at My mouth, and give warning from Me” (Ezek. 3:16 -22). I Say unto you, “when I bring the sword, sound the Trumpet and warn the people.”

“Then, when they hear the trumpet and not heed the warning if the sword comes and take them away, their blood shall not be upon your head.” “But if you see the sword and do not sound the Trumpet and they be not warned, and the sword comes and take them, then their blood will be upon your head” (Ezekiel. 33:1-9).

The message goes as follows:

Over the past years, our Spiritual Battles have deepened and become even more intense. The Lord has shown that every ministry is going to go through an intense fire. There will be a drying up of all things which are unfruitful in His eyes.

God has shown that He intends only two remnants to remain, one Worldly and the other Godly. The worldly remnant will consist of those who have performed His commandments to the glory of self or walked with the World in their beliefs (John 8:42-43).

They will be deepened in those beliefs, prospering annually as they never have before. Their churches will be filled to the brim with those looking to be entertained.

Because of this, the churches will advance even deeper into their carnal ways by turning to amalgamation (Ecumenical Movement [John 8:34- 44] to continue. They will openly accept and worship the gods of this world (psychology programs, environmentalism programs, and gimmicky evangelism).

Our Heavenly Father will permit these events to occur because these churches have chosen to follow false prophets and their carnality (Matt. 7:21-33; Luke 13:24-27), rather than remain in faith, suffer in Christ’s name, and call out to God for His guidance and comfort.

What lies ahead, even for those who believe and remain in hope, is turmoil. The Lord brings this spiritual drought to purge His True Church of the legalists, mouth professors and glory seekers (1Peter 2:7-8).

To survive this Spiritual drought, ALL will need to draw from the deepest part of their faith (the well of living water John 4:14). Those that give the appearance of having faith will dry up and wither away quickly (the unfruitful fig tree [Luke 13:6-9] ). Whether shallow or deep (1Peter 2:9;3:13), those who have sincere faith will find the Lord’s love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance (Gal.5:22-25) supporting their walk, ministry and work.

The Lord has pressed me to share this warning (2Peter 1:19-21;1Thess.2:4). This is not a matter of personalities. It is not for my glory, but I believe it is the preparation of the saints coming together for the edifying of Yeshua’s (Christ’s) Church under His Grace, Love, and Truth (Eph.4:11-16).

This spiritual drought will cause shock waves throughout Christendom, affecting the unprepared because they are blinded by legalism’s power and authority. They will go on believing in their heart of hearts that they are serving the Lord and that their prayers are being answered, but do not realize they are not doing it through Grace.

There is no judgement on any church or leader in this message, but pray that those who have an ear to hear will hear and those who have an eye to see will see.

I pray that this message is passed on to those you believe will prosper through it. So we may all have fellowship with God the Father and His son Yeshua (Jesus Christ), through what we have heard declared, which is the Word of Life (1John 1:1-3) that God is light, and in Him is no darkness (1John 1:5), so if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yeshua (Jesus Christ) his Son cleanseth us from all sin (1John1:7).

May God richly bless all

YESHUA’S THIRD FOOTPRINT “WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION DAILY”


Note: This release is not just a re-release it is the sounding of  the Watchman’s “TRUMPET” as a deep warning concerning those walking in Faith. Your decision whether to read should not be made thinking you have heard this before and ignore it. “Your Choice.” Robert

Here is a prayer for all who are working their Audit to locate their path in the darkness that has encompassed all;

Father in heaven polish their internal lens and brighten the light within their hearts, so it may shine forth, for those trapped in the dark, so they may see and come forward. “Lord”, I come before thee as a humble servant seeking your strength to reflect your light into this dark world, that I may share what thou has bestowed as gifts.

As your humble servant, Lord, I have placed my foot in your footprint. And ask you loose unto all who follow and step into your footprint the spirits of discernment, understanding, courage, grace, pardoning mercy, goodness, kindness, and mercies towards all who enter their life’s journey, deepen their conversations so they are Godly and Holy.

I pray for this Father, so your children who Love Cherish and Honour your Deity will not cease in this world. This I place before thy throne for you to hear as a petition for your mercies to be upon all, Father, as we discern the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Amen and Amen, in the name of Yeshua, I pray.

OPENING COMMENTARY by Robert 

In the closing comments of “FINDING YOURSELF IN THE WILDERNESS.”  

https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2017/01/04/finding-yourself-in-the-wilderness/

I related to the condition of the world and the society we live in. I believe Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) gave us a description of how far from God our current society has drifted. Or you can say have allowed ourselves to be drawn into the conditions he describes in 2Timothy3; “For men shall be lovers of their selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful. Unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away.” 

What comes to mind is the warning God spoke to the Israelite’s do not fall into doing what is right in your own minds. I will ask you again, “HAVE YOU BEEN COMPLETELY HONEST,” in your assessment; I pray you have because, in this footprint, we are going to find truths which I know are going to definitely change your walk and, ultimately, your persona as a believer following Yeshua. 

The lessons we are about to receive are coming from Yeshua’s answers to questions brought to Him by the Pharisees and his disciples. As I have always maintained, we must, and I emphasize, they must develop and seek after a very personal relationship with Yeshua.

Again, I ask you to imagine we are in the presence of the Lord, and He is speaking to us directly.  I believe this is the real church, and as proof cite Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. We don’t need to be in a vast building or group to learn how to draw nearer to Yeshua. In John 8:12, Yeshua states his position. Then spake Yeshua again unto them saying I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) comments on Yeshua’s declaration Christ’s doctrine was from heaven. It was copied out of the counsels of infinite wisdom, and the kind intentions of eternal Love. Yeshua states I speak that which I have seen. The discoveries Yeshua has made to us of God and another world are not grounded upon guess and hearsay but upon visual inspection so that he was thoroughly apprised of nature, and assured of the truth, of all he said. 

We hear from Yeshua what he is teaching comes directly from Yahweh and should not be questioned because it is what he has seen and knows to be true and is sharing it with those who are drawing near to hear and believe.

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) continues The Lord recognizes virtue has gone out of him and turns his discourse from the proud Pharisee’s. Addressing himself to those weak believers. When he had denounced wrath against those that were hardened in unbelief, then he spoke comfort to those few feeble Jews that believed in him. 

How carefully he cherishes the beginnings of grace and meets those that are coming towards him. These Jews that believed were yet but weak, but Yeshua did not, therefore, cast them off, for he gathers the lambs in his arms.

When faith is in its infancy, he has knees to prevent it, breasts for it to suck, that it may not die from the womb. In what he said to them, we have two things, which he saith to all that should at any time believe. 

The character of a true disciple of Christ “if you continue in my word, then are you, my disciples, indeed.” When they believed in him, as the great prophet, they gave up themselves to be his disciples. 

Now it is becoming clearer why Yahweh was calling us to return to following His laws and placing our foot in the footprints [Yeshua] left behind for those who like the Jews drew nearer and believed.

Once committed to doing God’s Audit and refreshing our walk, recognizing how much we really don’t understand why the absolute need to draw near to Yeshua and developing a permanent desire for learning as well how to develop a sincerely bonded relationship with Him.

John Gill (Nov. 23 -1697 – Oct. 14, 1771) I believe puts it in words we can understand and know what it is going to take to chose and devote ourselves. As well to creating a profound, lasting relationship with Yeshua:

John Gill relates: Yeshua states if ye continue in my word, meaning the Gospel, called his because he was both the author, and preacher, and sum, and substance of it. Stay in it, is having cordially received it, to abide by it, and hold it fast, and not to be moved from it. Through the temptations of Satan, the cunning of those that lie in wait to deceive; nor by the revilings and persecutions.

The frowns and flatteries of men, and when men continue thus steadfast in it and faithful to it. It is evident that it has come with power, and has a place in their hearts, and that they are faithful followers of Yeshua. Then are ye my disciples indeed.

There are two sorts of disciples of Christ. Some are only nominal, and merely in a profession such, and these sometimes draw back from him, discontinue in his word.

And go out from among his people, which shows that they never were of them, nor are the true disciples of Yeshua. For the genuine followers of Yeshua continue in his Gospel, hold fast to him, the head, and remain with his people, which to do to the end, is evidence of their being disciples indeed.   

Recall, I identified the Holy Spirit revealing that, I really didn’t understand much about my relationship with Yahweh and what it was going to take to walk in His Son, Yeshua’s footsteps. I pray many others found the same.

The Holy Spirit also asked if I was prepared to receive truth and then asked what was I going to do with it once I received it? His next question was, did I really understand what it truly stood for and its power within my journey and working out my Salvation?

After listening to Mr. Gill’s commentary, I profoundly understand what is expected of me as an individual in pursuit of drawing nearer to Yahweh through my personal relationship with His Son Yeshua.

I have always asked anyone who stated they wanted to walk in Yeshua’s footsteps if they knew what commitment was expected of them? I think Mr. Gill has explained quite clearly what it is and how difficult it is to walk in those footprints. I, for one, am prepared to do so knowing the Lord is there with me guiding, supplying answers and uplifting me because I genuinely have him in my heart and totally believe in His promises and teachings. 

What I am about to share is a caution to those who question and think they are already free from the bondage of the world and the darkness enveloping it and them.

Yes, we have received and believe we are living and walking under Salvation. The caution here is not to become haughty like the Pharisee’s who answered Yeshua “we be Abraham’s seed, and as such believing. There is no need to commit to an audit, as you have received Salvation through faith, believing your walk is secure and pure with Yeshua.

For those who are working on their review and stepping into Yeshua’s footprints heeding Yahweh’s call to return to the law and committing to Yeshua’s teachings through the Holy Spirit, here is a strong message you really need to hear.

The following is from the Mount of Olives delivered by Yeshua cited in John 8:13 The Pharisee’s, therefore, said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. V14: Yeshua answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I  go, but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. v15: Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. v16: And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. Then said Yeshua to those Jews which believed on him, v31: If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed. v32: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

  I believe John Gill’s (Nov. 23 -1697 – Oct. 14, 1771) comments ring true as he explains what is in store for those of us who have committed to the Audit. Are now seeking to draw closer, removing the false teachings, religious myths and fables returned to following Yahweh’s Laws and are moving into a profound personal relationship with His Son Yeshua. I believe here is where we discover what truth is and its powers over us. 

“And ye shall know the truth,….. Either the truth of the Gospel, the truth as it is in Yeshua. Meaning that they should have a larger knowledge of it. While others are ever learning and never come to the understanding of the truth. But the spirit of truth should lead them into all truth, and cause them to grow and increase in Gospel light and knowledge, or Yeshua himself.

Who is the way, the truth, and the life, and the sense is that they should know more of him? Of the dignity of his person, of the nature and usefulness of his offices, of the efficacy of his blood. The excellency of his righteousness, and the fulness of his grace, and that for themselves: “And the truth shall make you free.” From ignorance and error, and the prejudices of education, under which the whole nation laboured, and from the thraldom (slavery) of the law.

What is becoming more and more apparent of this particular journey is the need for a guide that I see as the Holy Spirit. The commentator Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) comments relate to this as a journey comparable to the Israelite’s following the column in the day and resting in assurance they were protected by the pillar of fire at night.

As we grow spiritually more rooted in our Audit, it is recognized it will continue as there is no time limit, but strong leadership is required as we have no clue where we are being led and what life situations will present. But know our final destination.

The Israelite’s were venturing into uncharted territory knowing their destination just as we are now journeying into uncharted territories, also knowing we have been set free from ignorance and error, the prejudices of education and slavery of the law having a destination to work at achieving being with our Father in heaven Yahweh. 

We now have a better understanding of how truth works in our lives and a knowledge of what makes one a true disciple of Yeshua devoted dedication and complete commitment.  

So now, again, I see even deeper how much I really didn’t understand my relationship with Yeshua. “Oh,” sure I was coasting along, believing my relationship was deep, and I was doing everything I thought I needed to do to follow and draw closer to Yeshua.

However, when the Holy Spirit revealed I wasn’t where I thought or hoped to be in my relationship with Yeshua, I wondered at first, then submitted to his musings and began to dig deeper. Quickly realized, I was bordering on believing in my mind I was right with God, and promptly understood, I had started to slip toward walking in Pride, Vanity, Luxury, Sensuality. 

Matthew Henry (Oct. 18, 1662 – Jun. 22, 1714) also confirms It is implied that there are many who profess themselves Yeshua’s disciples who may not be his disciples indeed but only in show and name. Then goes on to relate those that are not strong in faith to see to it, they are sound in faith, though not disciples of the highest form, are nevertheless disciples indeed only in show and name. 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert:

The common excuse I’m so busy making a living time is precious (Luxury), then if I make these changes, I won’t be accepted socially (Vanity). Besides, I know God been baptized and declared my Love for Him and always lets everyone know I’m a good Christian (Pride).

The real game breaker is how important the feel of a velvet shirt against my skin is. Recognizing certain fragrances heighten sensual experiences and will attract the opposite sex to have an opportunity (Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.) to appease my fleshly desires (Sensuality).

Without realizing it, I was falling into this worldly trap and slipping away from building my relationship with Yeshua as three of the four temptations were growing in my life, I had sensuality under control. It is not wrong to present yourself professionally.

However when you begin to allow these factors to dictate your walk you have enabled the five natural senses touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing to become the primary factors of how you will approach your walk instead of hearing the Holy Spirit guide, teach, chastise, and lead.

Putting it bluntly, you have become carnal and gather information about the world around you instead of about Yeshua, which is a stumble, but in some cases, it’s a drastic fall.

What was coming to my mind was the warning not to fall into doing what is right in your own minds, which I believe is carnally defined in Websters Dictionary as the capacity for the effective application of the powers of the brain as a basis for action or response: intelligence. Which Yahweh sees as idolatry. Romans 1:21-22

Apostle Paul relates how God deals with this form of belief v21: Because of 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. v22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 

Now understand, we are learning about truth’s power to set us free. But physics tells us where there is an action there is a reaction. Yeshua describes the response, which I believe many do not realize the power of sin has over those who commit crime if they took the time to understand, possibly wouldn’t commit sin. This is Yeshua’s message to all in John 8: 34-35 v34: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. v35: And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  

I’m closing with the following comments, which I firmly believe those reading these writings if doing the Audit and following the Lead of the Holy Spirit. Will, through  teachings, know in their hearts what Yeshua meant when He said: “the truth shall set you free.”

If it doesn’t, then, I believe Mr. Gill described you perfectly as one of the two Disciples, and you will know who you are. Mr. Henry stated what your position is as well, “many who profess themselves Yeshua’s disciples who are not his disciples indeed but only in show and name.”

My question to all, if you are not doing the Audit and cleaning house, why not? Yahweh has given us a chance to return to His flock. He is offering a pathway to Him through Yeshua’s Footprints, and as we have learned, it is going to be “TRUTH,” which is going to educate us and bring us closer to Yahweh and Yeshua.

I can see we are being offered an opportunity to know the truth and all that is needful and profitable for us to know, confirmed in the belief of it and definitely know the certainty of it. The blessing I received through writing this article is knowing I am in the darkness of the world, but God’s truth will feed me as one of God’s children, will bring me into His light and freedom from the darkness forever. I will first be a beacon reflecting His light into the darkness, so as a disciple, I can share His truth and Love.

As a 76-year-old man, I cannot understand how anyone would pass up this tender offer to do what God has called us to do which is simple once you take the time through Yeshua and the Holy Spirit’s leading to hearing Yahweh say “I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE AND OBEDIENCE.”   

From this day forward, when I say God Bless or God’s Speed, they both will have an entirely different meaning to me as both now represent His Truth. 

2868735889749cc41daf2da58f0003123195518346162872989.jpgRemember, these messages are given by a humble servant obedient to our Lord 0103db0c899cd0b8b69538e2367c4fddYeshua 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.

TORN BETWEEN MYTH AND TRUTH!


The clouds have completely shrouded our World and have not revealed all that is within their folds, as they swirl twist and settle into place.
I recognize there is confusion among those in my presence however I recognize this is quite widespread, there is an uneasy and unsettling feeling permeating the air I am sensing in my spirit a resentment towards the messages God is sending forth calling His children back to Him. I sense gross, absurd and overly high self esteem; vain pride in my presence and begin to wonder where and what God is leading me to find and see.

I remind you I am publishing these messages as a Watchman sounding his Trumpet as spiritual warnings of what has been shown through the Holy Spirit in scripture. My messages are for everyone to hear and read and whatever you as an individual decide to do with that information, is strictly up to you. The warnings are delivered without judgement or evangelizing they are simply messages for you to discern personally. I have been shown to publish them in a humanistic manner for many to discern in their own way. “So here goes”.

What was revealed is a great debate between worldly leaders, scholars and spiritual teachers with great fervor and discourse.

I’m too relate this message through the following story about a young person just turning into their early teens. Paul has just turned thirteen he’s full of life and confidence, believes he knows what life has to offer him and that he has the spiritual knowledge to understand how he’s going to live life. We find Paul visiting with a group of his peers and they are having a discussion on whether God is real or not. Paul is listening to one of his acquaintances state he sees his god everyday as he walks by a statue of a great sportsman and gentleman depicted as a statue in his honor. This statement aroused a number of questions in Paul; How do we know of God? What benefit is there to deny God’s existence? How could or what would influence and draw mankind from God’s Truth? The answers to these questions are in the first and second sounding of the Trumpet.
THE FIRST SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET: Mans imaginations, speculations of God’s Sovereignty over mankind allowed them to voluntarily withdraw from His truth and adopt worldly wisdom. They created images of God in human form giving them human passions and called their idols hero’s, and protectors of mankind.

Have we unknowingly condescended our beliefs to Professional Sports figures or Hollywood’s comic book hero’s accepting Myths as substitute god’s, figures on the screens, TV’s, computer’s and wireless devices as our Mythical hero Protectors as part of what we call entertainment, which allows us to Voluntarily walk away from God’s truth. “This represents a very slippery slope when truth is abandoned, the mind develops thousands of Vain, Foolish Fantacies, Errors multiply cloud and darken intellectual powers and faculties, allowing mankind to profess to be wise they become fools.” (Quote taken from The Bethany Parallel Commentary on the New Testament by Matthew Henry commenting on his interpretation of Romans 1: v 21 to 27 supported by Adam Clarke’s Commentary on the same verses.) In doing so mankind opens the door to adopting “Worldly Truth instead of God’s Truth” and falls into deeper errors.

THE SECOND SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET: So why does mankind question God’s Existence or His Deity, when they know by His works His very existence. They know Him as God because He Himself imprinted His very existence on our hearts. Even in unrighteousness mankind knows God because of the Works of Creation.

What benefit then to deny God’s existence? Mankind can now exist in Vanity and in their imaginations, thoughts, notions and speculations regarding God. So now when approached with God’s truth enter into foolishness and thoughtless action and ridicule and laugh at the messenger delivering the message, believing in only their wisdom. Stating that the being of God would not satisfy them. Feeling they were above God’s truth and fall into deeper errors.
“Remember I am just the messenger here doing what the Lord has ask me to do so recognize there is no judgement or evangelizing in these messages. These warnings are given as a measuring stick for your interpretation of where you stand in your walk, what you do with the message is your choice”.

I pray that our Father in Heaven will bring discernment to all mankind and bless them with wisdom, courage and strength to go forward in God’s wisdom and peace, I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ Savior of all mankind Amen and Amen

TRUTH WILL BE EVIL, LIES WILL BE TRUTH!


Children of Yeshua it has been a while since the Father has through the Holy Spirit brought His words upon me. We find ourselves in a mixed-up world having North Korea aggressively threatening war, parts of the Middle East in full rebellion and several Islamic sects causing worldly Terrorism. There is unrest and division in North America as we have a weak leader in Canada and a strong President in the USA. There are Riots in parts of South America and generally unrest fear and uncertainty throughout the world an uneasiness not understood but recognized.
We hear daily of Christians being martyred by Isis bombings as acts of Terrorism in several different parts of the world. It has become apparent why our Father

Military 32

Yahuweh has been calling His children back to His word and teachings, calling us out of the Worldly churches and their mediocre teachings. Movements are permeating the worldly churches, and our society is sliding into evil through many delusions and precepts. I am sorrowed and troubled that so many our Father has and is now calling out to as Matthew Henry put it are “Enemies of the Gospel” in his commentary of Apostle Paul in Romans 9:1. As did Paul state to the Gentiles “I state the truth in Christ” so am I relating to all who will read this warning which was given to me by the “Holy Spirit”.
I now understand why my complete apprehension, great sorrow, and heaviness which has been filling me spiritually and emotionally these past months while I prayed and meditated on the content of this message and how to deliver it.
This message has come to me over the past months in parts to be discerned and shared to all, some who may not be prepared to hear the “Trumpeter’s Call.” Who are God’s children? How do we receive the “blessing of Abraham”? Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree Gal.3:13 so we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. For after Faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by Faith in Yeshua. Gal.3:25-26. Please, I see as the Apostle did in Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Yeshua.
Knowing there are unbelievers among many who have received the Spirit of Christ through faith recognized the blessings of Abraham and now know of God’s covenants and His Laws. Greetings to all and to all I offer this prayer before you embark on this journey.
OPENING PRAYER by Robert
Heavenly Father I come before you in humility thanking you for the words you

ANGELS WITH TRUMPETS

have inspired me to share with your children. I ask Father you rain discernment unto all so they may know understand and share what they have gleaned from your warning. I pray you will fill their spirit with determination and fervour to stand against whatever evil presents itself. I further pray Father you will send the Holy Spirit to nurture and strengthen their minds that it might reflect your light into this dark world as a Beacon. Through the discernment bring knowledge for sharing as those who are drawn to their light may come to you through that experience and example. I pray, this Father in your name and in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen.
“THE SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET”
TTRUMPET 15

he message begins with an earnest question many will not desire to hear or discern once heard. Because of the times, we now live in, what our Father is showing will bring a deeper understanding of the need for a firm, solid foundation.
Our World is being enveloped in a translucent cloud dimming our daily light making surroundings not as brilliant and within the cloud our times very perilous both physically and spiritually. Yeshua has made several attempts to warn His children of impending doom many have ignored each. There is talk in the Christian world, as we know it in the Western Hemisphere. God has something big coming for all believers and unbelievers.
Yet there is little change in the walks of many who believe they are following the teachings of Yeshua. If this sounds Judgmental it is, and it is meant to be, if you are offended by it then perhaps you need to take a closer look at your walk. Ask yourself how much complacency has crept into it? How much overconfidence and swagger has become your daily walk. Ask this question “Am I following Yeshua for Him or for me”? Am I an example drawing others to Yeshua or to my walk as I go forward?
Yahweh through the Holy Spirit showed me I need to place the following question before His children. However, before I do, I wish to set the stage for all to know why this issue is being brought forward. I was shown in the book of 1Kings and in those verses the life of the Prophet Elijah, “one of the greatest Prophets in Scripture.” Elijah’s walk and obedience drew him so close to God “he did not die” “he was raised into heaven by a whirlwind.”
Why is this so important for today’s children of God, what significance does it have to us? Once you gain the question posed for all to see and discern you will hopefully understand. MIAMI 52

Yahewa’s past calls to His Children “come back to His teachings, to get out of the worldly walks and churches” have gone unheard and unheeded. This is where what I am about to relate is going to challenge many and call upon their ability to discern how the previous messages and worldly events were connected for God’s children to know it was He calling out to them through those events.
In 1Kings we are shown Ahab and Jezebel were persecuting God’s Prophets in the

DEVIL 08

name of Baal. How does this correlate to our modern times? I am asking all to use their discernment of our times recognize in comparison believers in Yahewa, and Yeshua are similarly being sought out and persecuted in the name of the modern-day Baal. Who presents several different forms of worship for his followers to worship. One is in the name of The Goddess Gaia Mother of the World. This movement is using Islam and environmentalism among many other platforms for the masses to fall under its doctrines and delusions. Yahweh through the Holy Spirit has instructed me to specifically focus on a particular sector of this movement as its deceptions have captured the minds and souls of multitudes of Yeshua’s followers.
The subtlety of this movement is what makes it so appealing to all who are caught up in its Delusions. The deception appears as a warning of impending doom. It is based on supposed scientific information. Once those within the delusion surrounding the GAIA movement; precisely the illusion of Global Warming (now referred to as Climate Change) are revealed and understood the warning of the message will be revealed. ELIJAH & ALTAR

The Lord Yeshua is making an appeal to His children however it is in a different manner He is asking all non-believer and believers to make a choice of who they are going to follow. (THE MESSAGE) In 1Kings 18;21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow Him: but if Baal, follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Here is where I must bring in the comparison because what I just wrote in the previous paragraph is the question being asked of you and all of those who would read this warning, believer or non-believer.
We are being requested to measure our walk know who we are following and make a choice one or the other there is no middle ground it is either Yeshua or Gaia Mother of The World the modern-day Baal disguised as Global Warming or Climate Change. So looking at what Elijah gave to the people of his time, it becomes apparent Yeshua is looking for a firm decision on who it is we are going to follow Yeshua or Baal and be fervently committed to that choice. There is no middle you cannot sit on the fence or walk-in both it is time for a faithful walk.
https://romboughrobert.wordpress.com/2016/12/01/is-climate-change-a-religion-or-movement/?iframe=true&preview=true&calypso_token=de80c9f5-793d-4cb6-734a7ff3fa4d396b
The warning relates if with Yeshua we must follow God’s will, God’s laws, without exception without adding humanism to them. It is humanism that has drawn multitudes into error and delusions. Scan_20180701

The belief that we can stand before God and argue to alter the consequences of His laws through human compassion for the souls of those who choose to live outside of those laws is now in question. Many refer to how Abraham stood before God and pleaded to save Sodom and Gomorrah as their secular argument slanted to their compassionate pleas. As Abraham spoke, God said if you can find ten righteous among them, I will spare them all, we know the consequences of that appeal.
This warning shows how important we need to take this advice and decide where we stand within God’s laws and measure our walk within those laws. Understand God’s laws are for eternity and the consequences meted out for breaking those laws is no different today than it was in the beginning.
Yes, God is a Loving God but He is also a Chaise God and as a Loving God now warning us to, in the days ahead, know His laws and walk within those laws only, lest we fall into the chastening, which is ahead for those following Baal.
In His teachings, Matt 7:13 we are shown where we need to enter the strait gate (knowing our position in God’s Laws). For the gate is wide and broad is the way that leads to destruction (the walk for those who chose not to heed). For many will enter into the wide gate and go forth in delusion not having made their choice.TEN COMMANDMENTS

God’s Laws? Do they apply to the New Testament, this is the question all will need to discern personally, as no one can answer this for you. Scriptures tell us in Exodus 18:20 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
We recognize in Hebrew 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts and in their minds will I write them; The basics of these would be the Ten Commandments.
The basics of God’s Law to follow and use as the basis of our lives would be the Ten

cropped-sky-space-dark-galaxy

Commandments. While we learn through a personal relationship with Yeshua how to daily walk in His footsteps which draw us closer to Yeshua and ultimately Yahewa our Father in heaven.
According to Hebrews, we know that God has finished what He promised and thus now because He has kept His word now it is our responsibility to know and follow them accordingly while in Salvation. If we choose not to follow those gifts we are reminded in Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Isreal, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world; SHEPHERD 4

Remember this is just a humble servant doing our Lord’s bidding being a “Watchman” delivering messages bringing warnings. What you do with them is your choice. What comes from it will depend on you. I ask our Father to rain blessings on all. The following is a direct message from Yeshua. And he said unto them, “Ye are they which justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” Luke 16:15

“NARROW IS THE WAY WHICH LEADETH UNTO LIFE”! ARE YOU UP TO IT?


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.
