TRUMPETER'S CALL

PREAMBLE by Robert  

I believe God brought us to this point to recognize where and when our journey began under Salvation and Grace. We are to learn the significance of the process or manner of healing our life’s journey will expose us to as we progress through our physical life experience.  There must be a beginning to all things, and God’s work is no different and this day even though it is over 2000+ years we are about to spiritually witness what I believe was the first individual taken into Paradise under Salvation through Yeshua’s Grace by Yahweh’s initial decree through His love of mankind. Here we need to exercise our spiritual discernment apply our wisdom and recognize the fervor of God’s love for one individual. Yahweh enlightened this man’s understanding, wrought faith in him to believe in Yeshua and filled him with the courage to acknowledge Yeshua’s deity. 

In the book of Luke 23:32-43  it is witnessed two others were being crucified with Yeshua that day. Both spoke, one to the Lord berating him as the soldiers and crowd did, the other rebuked the thief saying “they deserved to be where they were, and this man did nothing amiss.”  And asked Yeshua “to remember him when he enters into thy kingdom.” Here right here without pomp and ceremony is when the first individual is taken by faith into Paradise through salvation and grace.  V43: “And Yeshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee. Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.”  

John Gill (1697 -1774) The instance of grace stands on record, not to cherish sloth, indolence, security, and presumption, but to encourage faith and hope insensible sinners, in their last moments, and prevent despair. 

No demonstrated ceremony just compassion for one who would acknowledge Yeshua’s deity through demonstrated faith and was blessed to be with him eternally. Surely a momentous moment for all as the starting point for our journey under Salvation had just been revealed, the action of Faith.

Our Lord declared to the world what had just begun and the world had no idea what door had just been opened. His declaration to his Father “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” was his plea to forgive those who had carried out this wickedness. However, I also believe it was a declaration that they did not realize the doorway to Salvation had been opened and the message, that it was available was about to begin. The time spent with his disciples training them to plant the seeds was about to become a reality that Yahweh’s love for all was about to spread throughout the world. 

Now I understand all the time spent with our Lord over the past months was a preparation for what is yet to come as was for the Apostles at that moment. Like the Apostles and disciples of old, we are about to realize what God’s plan is for the modern-day Disciples, Fishers of Men and Beacons of light.

We will experience the growth of our newborn Spirit as Yeshua fulfills his Father’s plan while our human body ages and slowly perishes and returns to its origin dust, throughout this journey. We will experience the power of God’s heavenly gifts bestowed upon those walking fervently in His love, teachings, compassion, and His Sons footsteps.

We will be a part of God’s modern-day movement to bring His children back into His flock, by again, making the true knowledge of Yeshua’s sacrifice, making Salvation and Grace available, to all as a doorway to an Eternal Life with God, one soul at a time. 

OPENING PRAYER by Robert 

Heavenly Father humbly we approach your throne with this petition Father, fill us with your knowledge, wisdom, patience, and Love. That we may in spirit have the courage to spread your truth and witness about Yeshua’s precious sacrifice as your Son’s Disciples.  Bring us to a place where we may serve as your Disciples and shining Beacons of light, “Fisher’s of Men” capture the hearts and minds of those we gather that we may teach them to come before you. Cover us with your protective wings, strength, discernment and bring your words unto us that we may minister through your Love for all mankind. Fill us with the spirit of “Goodwill unto all men.” In the name of Yeshua, we pray Amen and Amen. 

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert 

Even while in the throes of death Yeshua cried out to his Father to forgive those, who, so wickedly desired his death. John Gill (1697 -1774) commentary explains the depth of Yeshua’s love and compassion and desire to do Yahweh’s will. “When he was crucified between the two thieves, and as he hung upon the cross, and while insulted and abused by all sorts of men, and put to the greatest pain and torture, he addressed himself to God his Father. The Arabic version reads “my father” who was so to him, not as he was a man. For as such he had no father; but as he was God, being a divine person, his beloved, and only begotten Son.

And this he uses, whilst a man, he is praying to him; partly to express his faith of relation to him; his confidence of being heard, and partly to set believers an example of praying, as he has directed saying “Our Father.” The petition put up by him is for forgiveness; which is with God, and with him only, and that for his enemies, his crucifiers. Not for those who sinned the sin unto death, the sin against the Holy Ghost, who knew him to be the Messiah, maliciously crucified him. For whom prayer is not to be made; but for those who were ignorantly concerned in it. Even for his own elect, whom the Father had given him out of the world, which was among his crucifiers; for those and not the world, he prays. And the fruit of this his prayer quickly appeared, in the conversion of three thousand of them under Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost, next following, in six weeks time. Though such might be his affection, as a man, in general, as to wish for, and desire, as such, was it consistent with the divine will, forgiveness for all of them, adding, “for they know not what they do.” or are doing. And they parted his raiment and cast lots: that is upon his vesture or seamless coat, and so fulfilled the prophecy in Psalm 22:18. 

We move forward and see that there was a disciple among the Sanhedrin who was an honourable man who objected to Yeshua’s crucifixion.  John Gill (1697 -1774) And behold, there was a man named Joseph a counsellor he was a good man, and just. The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them, he was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Yeshua, knowing he was dead, that he might bury it, and prevent it’s being inferred with the two malefactors, or abused by the mob. 

And he took it down from the cross with help from the others, having obtained leave from Pilate so to do; and wrapped it in linen as was the custom of the Jews in burying their dead. (Matthew 27:59). And laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in Stone; cut out of a rock; wherein never man before was put so that it could not be said it was another body, and not that of Yeshua’s that was raised from the dead. This circumstance serves to confirm the truth of his resurrection. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. And the women also which came with him from Galilee followed after; Joseph, and those that were with him, when they carried the body of Yeshua, to bury it. And beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid, in what position, form, and order, and observed that it was only wrapped in linen, and not anointed or embalmed.  

In researching the customs of the Jews, I could see that God had put the sequence of the events together that particular actions were set aside. As the traditions would not allow them to be carried out as they would normally. The women returned to their homes to prepare the spices and ointments for the anointing. However, were prevented from doing so as it could not be done till the Sabbath was over, for it was forbidden to be done on a Sabbath day. 

Now on the first day of the week, Yeshua rose from the dead, and which was the third day of his death, and so verified the scriptures and his own predictions. 

 John Gill (1697 -1774) relates the following “Very early in the morning, just as the light began to spring, the day to dawn, and break; the first appearance of the morning; when it first started to dawn. When it was yet dark, this must be understood of the time when the women set out from the city or suburbs; for by that time they got to the sepulchre, it was at sunrise, (Mark 16:2) and shows their great love, zeal, and devotion for Yeshua. And great courage and fearlessness to go out of the city at such a time, without a man with them, and to a grave. 

This research is revealing a fact which I was not aware of, the number of women who had approached the Sepulcher that morning. I had always read there were only two or possibly three. To find there were multiple witnesses to the miracle makes it even more hermetic. 

“They came unto the Sepuchler where Yeshua was laid, that is the women who came with Yeshua from Galilee and who had observed where and how his body was interred. Bringing the spices which they had prepared on the Sabbath eve, to anoint the body, but were prevented because of the Sabbath. And sure others with them; that is other women, besides Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, and Salome, and other Galilean women. There were other Jerusalem women or Bethany, it maybe Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus and of the parts adjacent, as reported in the Syriac, Arabic and Persic versions. 

My question then is how knowing the entrance was blocked by a huge boulder, did they think to move that rock to gain entry to the Sepulcher to anoint Yeshua’s body? 

And they found the stone rolled away from the Sepulcher. Which Joseph had laid there, the security of the body, and in the sight of these women, which gave them concern, as they went along, seeing they were all women, and who should roll away the stone for them. (Mark 16:3). But when they came to the Sepulcher to their great surprise, they found it rolled away. Which was done by an angel (Matthew 28:2) “and behold there was a great earthquake: the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.”

And they entered in being invited, encouraged, and led on by the angel that sat upon the stone. For the Jews sepulchres were built large enough for persons to go into, (Mark 16:5). And found not the body of Yeshua as they expected, having seen him laid there, and had observed in what cave in the sepulchre, and in what form he was laid.

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

We now see the establishing of God’s promises and depth of His love for all being brought forward in the form of two angels who appear to the women in the form of men as witnesses of Yeshua’s resurrection. For by the mouth of two or three witnesses everything is established.  And it came to pass as they were much perplexed thereabout the body of Yeshua, and it’s being gone what should become of it, whiter it was removed, and by what means, and by whom. Whether by a friend or foe, for they had no thought, nor expectation of a resurrection. Behold two men stood by them in shining garments which were angels in the form of men, and as these were the first witnesses of Yeshua’s resurrection. John makes mention of two, as here, seen by Mary Magdalene, though in a different posture; they were sitting, one at the head, the other at the feet, where the body of Yeshua had laid. But when the rest of the women came, they had risen up, and stood close by them, on a sudden, at an unawares, being arrayed in white raiment, as white as snow, as a token of their purity and innocence, and as bringers of good tidings.   

And as they were afraid the women were of these angels these appearances and majestic forms. And bowed down their faces to the earth as not being able to bear the lustre of their countenances and garments they said unto them “why seek ye the living among the dead? “  

“He is not here but is risen, remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee. Saying, the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified and on the third day rise again.” 

And they remembered his words and returned from the Sepulcher. Quickly immediately as soon as ever the angel had done speaking to them. They fled in great haste as persons frightened and amazed, with fear and reverence, on account of the vision they saw, and with joy at what was told them (Matthew 28:8). And said all these things, that the stone was rolled away from the sepulchre and they found not the body of Yeshua in it. That they had seen a vision of angels, who had told them, that Yeshua was risen, and put them in mind of some words of his spoken to the disciples in their hearing in Galilee unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 

Thus, the stage was set for the next round of events, which shortly would occur now that the eleven apostles and 70 disciples and as many others who were assembled together, possibly the 120 (Acts 1:15) had been informed. We know there was skepticism among them all of what these women were telling them, even though Yeshua had told them what would transpire. Peter and John though they did not believe the report ran to the Sepulcher to be satisfied how things were. When he stooped down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves without the body of Yeshua. Peter could see the body was not stolen, or taken away, for neither friends or foes would have taken the time to strip the body, but would have carried it away with the linen. Thus he left for John’s house in Jerusalem now wondering in himself at which was to come to pass, as he had no notion of resurrection. Then Yeshua joins two disciples who are on their way to Emmaus and converses with them as they journey not being aware of who he is. They only realize in whose presence they are when he blesses and breaks bread with them. “I wonder how many of us these days realize who is present in our daily journeys?”

These disciples rushed back to Jerusalem the same night and found the eleven gathered together without Thomas being present and them that were with them. They assembled in this manner for the sake of privacy and for fear of the Jews. As they entered the room the Apostles informed them:

“The Lord Has Risen“ 

In this statement, all the myths and false teachings and worldly customs should be shed from our minds as followers. The reality is Yeshua 2000+ years ago suffered was crucified buried and was resurrected to sit on the right hand of God. Salvation and Grace became obtainable gifts to all mankind because the Lord was resurrected and is recruiting modern-day disciples to again spread the truth afresh without any worldly attachments, myths, or traditional ceremonies.  For those walking in Yeshua’s footsteps, the gifts are on their way until then use your God-given discernment wisdom and precious faith to go forward until we receive God’s blessings. Recognize what Yeshua promised us in the following which is about to be bestowed upon His fervent followers those walking in His Footsteps and spiritually suffered His crucifixion and spiritually will witness to His resurrection that many may come to His truth and eternal life. 

John 14:12 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” 

“God’s Speed” 

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Bless us “Oh Lord” as your humble servants obediently walking in your Sons footsteps having spiritually followed him to the crucifixion and spiritually witness to your son’s resurrection. We pray “Oh Lord” for your wisdom discernment and knowledge to be upon us that we would be prepared to receive your heavenly gifts. We ask this in all humbleness and sincerity Father. This we pray in the name of Yeshua Amen and Amen. 

Please remember these messages are being presented by a humble servant of Yeshua as a “Watchmen” merely sounding his Trumpet drawing your attention to the word our Lord has delivered as a warning. May you prosper and grow

PRE-AMBLE by Robert 

Acts 1:3-5 v3: To whom also he sheweth himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days. And speaking of the things about the kingdom of God: v:4 and being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, ” but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. v5: for John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.  

In my last published article “The Beginning” I related, “The reality is Yeshua 2000+ years ago suffered was crucified buried and was resurrected to sit on the right hand of God.” “Salvation and Grace became obtainable gifts to all mankind because our Lord was resurrected. I believe Yeshua is now recruiting modern-day disciples to again spread the truth afresh without worldly attachments, myths, or traditional ceremonies.” as witnesses to his resurrection and the gifts of Salvation and Grace. 

The emphasis in this article is the preparation Yeshua did with his Apostles during the 40 days he spent with them before his ascension and the receiving of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Yeshua knew in many ways they were still attached to the world, and the Jewish customs and laws. As he knows our thoughts and continued attachments to our modern world and its customs and traditions, which our current day churches or centers of entertainment, calling themselves churches, have attached to the gospel. But Yeshua also knows all these things will fall off once we’re baptized with the Holy Ghost as he did with the Apostles of old. 

OPENING PRAYER by Robert 

 Heavenly Father hear our petition which we place before your throne! We humbly ask for your wisdom, meekness, humility, patience, understanding, strength discernment and courage to fill us as we are being prepared for the Heavenly Gifts you choose to bestow upon us through the “Holy Ghost’s Baptism.” We ask this in all humility and meekness in your name Yeshua. Bring upon us Father your words as promised in times of need remove the spirit of fear from our minds fill it with your knowledge as you did Yeshua in his time of need. We humbly in reverence for your greatness Father petition for your kindness to be upon us.  Amen and Amen. 

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert   

 All truths will be revealed through the Heavenly gifts bestowed at the moment we receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, our spirit will be filled with his knowledge as were the Apostles of old.

Once the Holy Ghost was received the Apostles entered into a dark, wicked and sin-filled world. So will the new Disciples come into a dark, evil and sin-filled world?  As the Prophet, Joel’s prophecies were described by Commentary in the book of Joel 1:8-13 All who labor for the meat which perishes, will, sooner or later, be ashamed of their labor. Those that place their happiness in the delights of sense, when deprived of them, or disturbed in the enjoyment, lose their joy. Whereas spiritual pleasure then flourishes more than ever. See what perishing,  uncertain things our creature-comforts are. See how we need to live in continual dependence upon God and his providence. See what ruinous work sin makes. As far as poverty occasions the decay of deity of piety, and starves the cause of religion among people, it is a very severe judgment. But how blessed are the awakening judgments of God, in rousing his people and calling home the heart to Yeshua, and his salvation?  

The new disciples will do so having the Apostles witness of Yeshua’s Resurrection and Ascension to be seated at the right hand of God. Our mission will be to Re-establish God’s church in the heart’s of Yahweh’s children as a result of them falling away and denying Yeshua through the false teachings which will bring about God’s calamities forecast in the book of Joel Chapter One. As the Prophet, Joel’s prophecies were described by Commentary from the book of Joel 1: 1-7 God is Lord of hosts, has every creature at his command, and, when he pleases, can humble and mortify a proud, rebellious people, by the weakest and most contemptible creatures. It is just with God to take away the comforts which are abused to luxury and excess. And the more men place their happiness in the gratifications of sense, the more severe temporal afflictions are upon them. The more earthly delights we make needful to satisfy us, the more we expose ourselves to trouble. 

However, as Yeshua was ascending our Lord gave the Apostles a severe warning to their question “Lord wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom again to Israel?” And he said unto them “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you. And ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”  

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) “Yeshua came to set up his own kingdom, and that a kingdom of Heaven, not to restore the kingdom to Israel, an earthly kingdom.” As the Apostles had believed Yeshua was going to make the nation of the Jews as tremendous and considerable among the countries as it was in the days of David and Solomon, of Asa and Jehoshaphat.

“How able even good men are to place the happiness of the church too much in external pomp and power. As if Israel could not be glorious unless the kingdom was restored to it, nor Christ’s disciples honored unless they were peers of the realm whereas we are told to expect the cross in this world and to wait for the kingdom in the other world.”

“How we retain what we have imbibed, and how hard it is to get over the prejudices of education.” 

“How apt we are to misunderstand scripture to understand that literally which is spoken figuratively, and to expound scripture by our schemes, whereas we ought to form our schemes by the scriptures.” “But, when the Spirit shall be poured out from on high, our mistakes will be rectified, as the Apostles’ soon after were.”

Yeshua had told them they should sit on thrones (Luke 22:30). And now nothing will serve them but they must be in the throne immediately, and cannot stay the time whereas “he that believeth doth not make haste,” but is satisfied that “God’s time is the best time.” 

Yeshua’s warnings to the Apostles as he ascended were not only for them at the time, but for all his churches over time. His warning applies to the modern day disciples as fervently as it did to the Apostles of old. The warnings came about due to the question asked at that time in regards to setting up of God’s kingdom which they believed would be restoring Israel to its former position.

I believe the question we as followers today are asking is “when will Yeshua return and set up his kingdom” and the same answer he gave the Apostles of old applies here as well. As followers, we know the promise of His return, and we are impatient for the setting up of that kingdom and are inquisitive into that which our Master has never directed or encouraged us to inquire into. Perhaps like the Apostles of old we have promised ourselves a significant share and anticipate the divine counsels.

The check Yeshua gave then is the same today “What is that to thee?” “It is not for you to know the times and seasons.” It is clear we are not to ask this question his rebuke was as he ascended and was intended as a caution to his church in all ages. Take heed of splitting upon the rock which was fatal to our first parents, an inordinate desire of forbidden knowledge, and intruding into things which we have not seen because God has not shown them. Yeshua is showing us, which Matthew Henry (1662 -1774) reveals in the following quote. “It is folly to covet to be wise above what is written, and wisdom to be content to be no wiser.” Yeshua had given his disciples a great deal of knowledge above others (“to you, it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God”) and had promised them his Spirit. To teach them more now, lest they should be puffed up with the abundance of the revelations, he here lets them understand that there were some things which it was not for them to know. We shall see how little reason we have to be proud of our knowledge when we consider how many things we are ignorant of. 

Here it is essential for us to reconcile Yeshua has provided the knowledge and information he knew we could handle as we present ourselves as disciples in His name. The example is illustrated by  Matthew Henry (1662 -1774) Yeshua had given his disciple’s instructions sufficient for the discharge of their duty. Both before his death and since his resurrection, and in this knowledge he will have them to be satisfied for it is enough for a Christian, in whom vain curiosity is a corrupt humor, to be mortified and not gratified.  

Here it is essential those who have followed our articles over the months recognize your current position. Because we in the spirit have gone through the crucifixion as followers and received Yeshua’s teachings as the Apostles did and spiritually through the scriptures seen them performed by Yeshua as teaching examples. We should heed the above rendition which does apply to us as it did to the Apostles. Do not let vain curiosity as a corrupt humor enter into our lives or walk as we go forward. Yeshua has left us through the Scriptures the things about the kingdom of God and had promised that the Spirit should show us things to come concerning it. (John 16:13) “Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.”

Like the Apostles of old, we have through the Scriptures been given signs of the times (the book of Joel), which we need to observe, and know that it is a sin to overlook them (Matt. 24:33, Matt. 16:3). We must not expect or desire to know either all the particulars of future events or the exact times of them. Dr. Henry Hammond (1605 – 1660) explains “It is good for us to be kept in the dark, and left at uncertainty concerning the times and moments of future events concerning the church, as well as concerning ourselves. Concerning all the periods of time and the final period of it, as well as concerning the period of our own time.” 

 CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

So now, Yeshua having left instructions for the Apostles as he has done for us Scripturally.  And said all that he had to say, he blessed them  (Luke 24:50), and while they beheld him and had their eye fixed upon him receiving his blessing, he was gradually taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Dr. Henry Hammond (1605 – 1660) believes “that the clouds receiving him here were angels receiving him for the appearance of angels is ordinarily described by a cloud comparing Exodus 25:22; Leviticus 16:2. By the clouds, there is a sort of communication kept between the upper and lower world in them the vapors are sent up from earth, and the dew sent down from heaven.” 

I know there will be questions or comments on this next paragraph some will say there cannot be the second ascension of Yeshua, and as a follower I already have the Holy Spirit guiding me.

“I in no way am asserting there can or will be the second ascension. 

Here I must explain having spiritually relived the crucifixion due to following Yeshua’s footsteps in preparation for our personal relationship with Yeshua we through the spirit have emotionally relived that day. Now having spiritually relived and witnessed the Crucifixion through the article “THE PRICE OF OUR PERPETUAL GIFTS.” We are now turning to the Scriptures to recognize and spiritually capture the witness of his ascension and leaving the promise of receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as part of “God” initially calling us to return to his laws which started this journey several articles and months back.

You see as we progressed and grew spiritually closer to Yeshua through the articles it has become clear God was preparing us for a great work. Earlier in this article, I revealed what I believe the Holy Spirit brought forward about what the great work was to be. “Our mission is to spread the word of Salvation and grace which will provide guidance and spiritual sustenance to God’s children who have suffered the great Calamities prophesied in the book of Joel 3:9-17“Here is a challenge to all the enemies of God’s people. There is no escaping God’s judgments; hardened sinners, in that day of wrath, shall be cut off from comfort and joy. Most of the prophets foretell the same final victory of the church of God over all that oppose it. To the wicked, it will be a terrible day, but to the righteous, it will be a joyful day. What cause have those who possess an interest in Yeshua, to glory in their Strength and their Redeemer! The acceptable year of the Lord, a day of such great favor to some, will be a day of remarkable vengeance to others: let every one that is out of Yeshua awake and flee from the wrath to come.” 

Recognize what the prophet Joel was describing in Joel 2:1-14 If the alarm of temporal judgments is given to offending nations, how much more should sinners be warned to seek deliverance from the wrath to come! Our business therefore on earth must especially be, to secure an interest in our Lord Yeshua. And we should seek to be weaned from objects which will soon be torn from all who now make idols of them. There must be outward expressions of sorrow and shame, fasting, weeping, and mourning; tears for trouble must be turned into tears for sin that caused it. There is no question but that if we truly repent of our sins, God will forgive them, but whether he will remove affliction is not promised, yet the probability of it should encourage us to repent. 

Thus the preparation for the receiving of the “Baptism of the Holy Ghost” as the final piece of Yeshua’s plan to send his modern-day disciples out to be available to bring his children back to His Father’s laws. And the re-establishment of His church. as prophesied in the book of Joel chapter 3: 18-21. There shall be abundant Divine influences, and the gospel will spread speedily into the remotest corners of the earth. These events are predicted under significant emblems.

Our walk has been a different one but special, and I have always maintained there would be significant rewards for those who continued in God’s call to return to following his laws.  

For those who claim they already have the Holy Spirit “yes” you do. And why you do is explained here by Matthew Henry (1662 -1774) “ Now that Yeshua was about to leave the Apostles and they, since he breathed on them and opened their understandings, were better able to receive the instructions he furnished his disciples with. 

 We acknowledge you must have the Holy Spirit to enact the miracles of God and confess Yeshua as the Lord, so without the Holy Spirit, (1Cor.12:7) There is no discernment. Like the Apostles, “before leaving them,” Yeshua breathed the Holy Spirit on them for them to understand and discern. As he blessed us with the Holy Spirit when we received Salvation, so we might discernment the scriptures and accept the teachings of the Holy Spirit to develop our personal relationship. The preparation for Spiritually receiving the “Baptism of the Holy Spirit” is to further deepen our testimony of Yeshua’s Crucifixion and witness to his resurrection accompanied by God’s heavenly gifts bestowed upon those receiving the “Baptism of the Holy Ghost” as the Apostles of old did at Pentecost. “ARE YOU PREPARED FOR YOUR FUTURE”? 

SPECIAL NOTE: 

They were of one accord. We cannot forget how often, while the Master was with them. There were strifes among them, who should be the greatest. But now all these discords were at an end, we hear no more of them, What they had received already of the Holy Ghost, when Yeshua breathed on them, had in good measure rectified the mistakes upon which those contests were grounded, and had disposed them to holy love. They had prayed more together of late than usual (Acts 1:14) and this made them love one another better. By his grace he thus prepared them for the gift of the Holy Ghost for that blessed dove comes not where there are noise and clamor, but moves upon the face of the still waters, not the rugged ones. 

Let us be all of one accord, and notwithstanding the variety of sentiments and interests, as no doubt, there was among the disciples, let us agree to love one another for, where brethren dwell together in unity, there it is that the Lord commands his blessing. 

The Spirit descended upon our Saviour when he was praying, (Luke 3:21). Those are in the best frame to receive spiritual blessings that are in a praying structure. Yeshua had promised now shortly to send the Holy Ghost now this promise was not to supersede prayer but to quicken and encourage it. God will be enquired of for pledged mercies, and the nearer the performance seems to be the more earnest we should be in prayer for it. They did this in one accord. This intimates that they were together in holy love and that there was no quarrel nor discord among them and those who so keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace are best prepared to receive the comforts of the Holy Ghost. 

A rushing mighty wind came with great force. This was to signify the powerful influences and working of the Spirit of God upon the minds of men and thereby upon the world. Thus the convictions of the Spirit make way for his comforts, and the rough blasts of that blessed wind, prepare the soul for its soft and gentle gales. There was an appearance of something like flaming fire, lighting on every one of them, according to John Baptist’s saying concerning Yeshua. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. The Spirit, like fire, melts the heart, burns the dross, and kindles pious and devout affections in the soul. In which, as in the fire on the altar, the spiritual sacrifices are offered up. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, more than before. They were filled with the graces of the Spirit, and more than ever under his sanctifying influences; more weaned from this world, and better acquainted with the other.They were more filled with the comforts of the Spirit, rejoiced more than ever in the love of Yeshua and the hope of heaven. In it, all their griefs and fears were swallowed up. They were filled with the gifts of the Holy Ghost, they had miraculous powers for the furtherance of the gospel. They spake, not from previous thought or meditation, but as the Spirit gave them utterance.  

As prophesied in the book of Joel chapter 3: 18-21. There shall be abundant Divine influences, and the gospel will spread speedily into the remotest corners of the earth. These events are predicted under significant emblems; there is a day coming when everything amiss shall be amended. The fountain of this plenty is in the house of God, whence the streams take rise. Yeshua is the Fountain. His sufferings, merit, and grace cleanse, refresh, and make fruitful. Gospel grace flowing from Yeshua, shall reach to the Gentile world, to the most remote regions, and make them abound in fruits of righteousness. And from the house of the Lord above, from his heavenly temple, flows all good we daily taste, and hope to enjoy eternally.

 CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

 Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever, Amen.

Bless those Father who have followed your footsteps to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and will now witness your gifts of Salvation and Grace as life unto eternity in your presence Amen. 

As the Watchman, I must sound the Trumpet that in this article not only is it giving information but is providing us with a spiritual warning through the prophet Joel of an upcoming catastrophe. Joel relates to those who would listen to how this calamity is going to unfold by using the cycle of the Locust. Armies of insects were coming upon the land to eat the fruits of it. It is expressed so as to apply also to the destruction of the country by a foreign enemy. God is Lord of hosts, has every creature at his command, and, when he pleases, can humble and mortify a proud, rebellious people, by the weakest and most contemptible creatures. It is just with God to take away the comforts which are abused to luxury and excess, and the more men place their happiness in the gratifications of sense, the more severe the temporal afflictions are upon them. The more earthly delights we make needful to satisfy us, the more we expose ourselves to trouble. 

Our nation (Canada) is under attack not physically but spiritually, and many are confused and do not understand how or why. This calamity is going to occur from within and unfold as follows. It is understood literally as armies of insects but in reality is an invasion of Nations, people, tongues, languages, potentates, and revenging kingdoms. These insects first eat up the fruits of the country, there will be four types each destroying what the other left behind. They initially appear as being vulnerable but grow in numbers and use their vast numbers to destroy everything in their path. Heed the sounding of the “Trumpet” be prepared for our nation to fall into utter destruction and ruin as our enemy is coming with fury and force. We must take note our enemy begins as a simple insect yet becomes a lion when they come armed with a divine commission. Take heed all in this great nation there is a fall about to take place prepare yourselves in the Lord. 

I again remind you these articles are the work of a humble servant merely passing on what the Holy Spirit reveals as a message. May God bless all who partake and share so others may drink from this well of living water. God bless and God’s Speed.

For, God is not the author of confusion. but of peace, as in all assemblies of the saints. (1Corinthians 14:33) Let all things be done decently and in order. (1Corinthians 14:40)
PRE-AMBLE by Robert
There has been an increase in suicides over the past three years, I strongly believe this phenomenon could possibly be connected to the teaching of Coping Techniques rather than offering resolutions by teaching the ability to Deal with life’s challenges both physically and spiritually.
Please note: the following information should, by those who are Secular, be

interpreted on a personal level and those who are believers, Spiritually discerned through the Holy Spirit. I hope and pray there will be those who will recognize this article as a method of personal discovery and freedom which will create a desire to make changes beneficially and personally as well as Spiritually.
OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father, as humble children eager to learn we bow before your throne, pledging our spirit to you, Father, as a servant. We call on you Lord to fill us with discernment, so we may use the courage and integrity you have brought as the rock we stand on receiving the truth. We plead for strength to continue facing the truth about ourselves as we face our faults and shortcomings. Bring a wave of peace to our soul that we may go forward through all the turmoil facing our walk. Lift us up, Father, to see your glorious light shining through the darkness surrounding our world and lives. Lift the darkness from around us so we will know your presence at all times. Give us a dedicated spirit to recognize and help those who have fallen into the deception of emptiness and depression. Brighten our light so it might shine through all darkness sharpen our wisdom that we may cut all the cords emprisoning your fallen children in depression and the fear of loneliness. Bring to us the spirit of kinsmanship that we might lay down our lives for those lost and deceived. This we pray in Yeshua’s name Amen and Amen.
OPENING STATEMENT by Robert
We are at a junction, which is asking to determine how we are running our lives,

careers, and business. What important significance is it to know whether we are Coping or Dealing with Lifes twists and turns.
I am asking the following; is there a difference between Coping and Dealing? “I say Certainly there is.” But Why do the learned and highly developed secularists believe that coping and dealing can be or are one and the same?

When you analyze the word Coping, you quickly find it is a learned method of passive submission. Allowing those using this technique to subjectively justify events or occurrences affecting their lives and surroundings. Giving them a reason to accept into their being and ultimately their lives, a method to function unchallenged no matter what the outcome may hold for them personally and spiritually. Even to the point of creating a battle in their minds as their lifestyle as acceptable & unacceptable.
This leads to the individual actually questioning the very foundation used to support their moral stance and beliefs. What ultimately becomes the standard for Coping is not taking responsibility for any action good or bad. Because I can rationalize anything and everything in or around my being.
In comparison when you analyze Dealing you quickly realize this is not a form of passivity nor acceptance of rationalizations. It becomes immediately apparent that to Deal with a situation, you must first obtain sound and accurate information some of which may not be pleasant, however, it must be accepted.
To Deal means to face the circumstance or situation with all the information provided and take that part which it reveals as your involvement, in other words, what you really are responsible for or have caused to occur. Dealing means to come to a complete and final conclusion where you are done and move forward in stature. Dealing with a situation eliminates excuses and brings personal responsibility to the forefront.
Dealing charges us with accountability and becomes the foundation for truth which then anchors integrity in our ives giving us a clear view of a stable life. So, in conclusion, the choice is yours to define if you’re going to Cope with life or face it head-on and Deal with the events which may present themselves.
CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert
God will neither sever the means from the blessing nor join the blessing with the satisfying of man’s lusts. God’s mercy and blessing were never sought carefully and not obtained.
Personally, I try to deal with all my life situations as quickly and honestly as I can sometimes not liking what I am seeing and hearing. Because I know how easy it is to lie to yourself and just Cope with the problems.
I was inspired to re-publish this article with a few adjustments and tweaks, because of a business acquaintance in Toronto who sent out a plea to raise awareness of how serious the problem of Suicide is growing. Lorne (my friend) pointed out that this problem is usually kept in the quiet. He stated we should be open to conversing as he believes it will stimulate a potential life to turn around, ultimately saving a life, and yes I agree, with a conversation, lives will and can be saved.

Remember, these articles are given as warnings from a humble servant as God’s

Watchman bringing His warnings to the flock of impending dangers. I pray for all to be covered with Yeshua’s blessings. Be at peace and in faith as you journey forward doing God’s calling and work. As Yeshua said, be as wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove. Times are now, we must all be aware of our surroundings, and who it is we are dealing with. “And Yeshua through the Holy Spirit said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
