TRUMPETER'S CALL

Personal Declaration by Robert

The position on my stand with Yeshua and His Father Yahewa is the first commandment. I like Peter may have moments of doubt as he sunk in the water, but like Peter I will call out for Yeshua’s hand. My Stand is to be as dedicated to Yeshua as humanly possible in the spirit. My journey is through this world as a pilgrim knowing it will not be easy, but also know who will be waiting for me when my journey here concludes. What about YOU?

My pledge:  The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:  As I again for the umpteenth time read this commandment recognized God, was letting us know He was not finished with us in having Him solely as our God, in verse 7 commanded: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. My question here on a very serious level, “IS MY STAND, YOUR STAND AS WELL?” 

PRE-AMBLE by Robert 

Leadership begins the very moment we believe in Yeshua for Salvation. Our search for additional information about the gifts within Salvation set us apart from the world. At this point, the direction we choose is in our hands. Will we be savoury Salt, or Salt to be discarded and trod upon.

Leadership is a choice only we can make. Let’s break it down so we can understand what has been shown to us. You will find there are two choices to be chosen from. But, only one identifies a leader in Yeshua’s definitions and eyes, the other is unsavoury and will be discarded.

To further emphasize it is our decision which savours of Salt we will choose to be. It is and always will be our choice.

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert 

The apostle  James shows what is the proper use of the word of God, who they are that do not use it as they ought, and who they are that do make a right use of it, James 1:23-25.

Let us consider each of these distinctly. The use we are to make of God’s word may be learnt from its being compared to a mirror, in which a man may behold his natural face.

As a mirror shows us the spots and defilements upon our faces, so they may be remedied and washed off, the word of God reveals our sins, so we may repent of them and have them pardoned. It shows us what is amiss, that it may be amended. Some mirrors will flatter people, but that which is truly the word of God is no flattering mirror.

If you flatter yourselves, it is your own fault, the truth, as it is in Yeshua (Jesus Christ), flatters no man. Let the word of truth be carefully attended to, and it will set before you the corruption of your nature, the disorders of your hearts and lives, it will tell you plainly what type of salt you are, Savoury to season or Flat, to be trodden upon.

The following is an excerpt from the article “Our World,” published May 22, 2020. Have you noticed how quickly time is passing, not sure if it is old age or time is just speeding up? This matters little when you consider what indeed is occurring right before our eyes. We are busy working and living while our societal moralities are declining. We see the luxuries of our times as beneficial. And, as individuals, they have brought us comfort and instant gratification. However, they, in turn, have taken us into another realm of morality, one which is void of actual human conversation, the togetherness of people who share a commonality, merely being able to reach out and touch a fellow human.

In my youth, while reading Scriptures, I saw a prediction, “man’s consciences would be seared,” and, in the era, I read this, I pondered how this would be possible? 

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, “that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils”. 1Timothy 4:1 As time progressed, it was becoming more evident, how, through the use of convenient tools and the advancement of technology, as a communal society, we’re drawing further apart and further from a sound moral base governing our lives.

Know your position, know your walk, know the depth of your faith, the time is now, your faith is being tested and measured. Do not fall into the delusions that all is peaceful. Do not be fooled, that you can walk both paths, or in half-truths, desiring the comforts and amenities of the world and believing you are under the wings of God while coveting the pleasures of the world.

CLOSING STATEMENT by Robert

If you believe this you’re the bullseye in the center of the target. A fact to remember God will not heal or forgive sins, so we can or will return to a sinful nature, the example I can site which is blatant in the modern-day churches, those who go through life having a “reprobate mind,” believe they can be forgiven and continue to walk within their lifestyle, next to Yeshua, not going to happen.

Know this as a sincere Born Again spirit our slate of sins were wiped away, we start at zero, what we record from there is on a personal level within our walk. We live under Grace having salvation which does not give us the right to continue sinning. Yeshua said you are healed, you are forgiven now go and sin no more. What more reason to use His 10 Commandments as a template to clean up our act (maybe get serious about our walk and commitment, as a believer, if you think you’re without sin, you’re in big trouble) and move through this world as pilgrims just passing through.

In this release, we will find the level of our effectiveness, as a leader identified by Yeshua in Matt.5:13. Leadership comes with the acceptance of the position and through knowledge and understanding of how to demonstrate it. As believers, whether you recognize it or not our walk through this world, is on display as a demonstration of our commitment to truth and Yeshua.

And as such makes us quasi type leaders, so it becomes us to garner the this role and take it seriously as our Father has asked us to do: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. My question here on a very serious level, “IS MY STAND, YOUR STAND AS WELL?” Can you or do you practice this every day, or is your talk about the troubles of the world, just pondering? Thus, righteous children of God, this is a sounding of the Trumpet. I know I am following the commandment when I am told I speak too much about God and His Son. Those in the darkness do not realize I am doing as commanded, but as well as seed planting, you can never sow enough seed. 

Once we embrace the gifts within Salvation, it then becomes our duty to learn what they offer and how to properly use them. This is the working out of our Salvation learning to demonstrate the indwelling of Yeshua, who is constantly shaping and moulding us to be like Salt, which releases it’s savouring when applied. Not always welcome in abundance but always wanted as a flavouring. 

The Lord says to teach the children, and as a Watchman, the Holy Spirit reveals many areas lacking in the Lord’s children’s lives and walk. To satisfy God’s command to teach, I share what the Holy Spirit reveals through the posted articles.

My reasoning is explained in Ezekiel 3: 20 – 21. Again when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because thou hast not given him a warning, he shall die in sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall be remembered, but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned, also thou hast delivered thy soul.

It becomes those who profess the gospel to strive for it, to use a holy violence in taking the kingdom of heaven. The faith of the gospel is the doctrine of faith or the religion of the gospel. There is that in the faith of the gospel which is worth striving for. If religion is worth anything, it is worth everything. There is much opposition, and there is a need for striving. “A man may sleep and go to hell, but he who will go to heaven must look about him and be diligent.“

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father, bring our lives into unison with Yeshua’s teachings and guidance out of the darkness ahead. I pray Father not one believes they have all the answers and humble themselves before you, Father. I ask Father that you shower discernment and recognition unto all of our heads that we may be safe and strengthened as we go forward in Your name. Lord, bring us insight and courage to stand as bright Beacons drawing many unto your light in the days and weeks ahead. Fill us with your wisdom that we might share it as your love and compassion for those lost and confused. We pray in your name Yeshua  AMEN AND AMEN  

Please remember these articles are the work of a humble servant of Yeshua doing HIs bidding as a Watchmen sounding the Trumpet to warn of impending danger or error within the Assembly. May our Father abundantly bless each one of you with wisdom and discernment to go forward as “Modern Day Disciples.”

Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee, Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Yeshua is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:3-4)

MESSAGE DELIVERED DECEMBER 18 2016

PRE-AMBLE: I will begin by using a particular formula to bring forward a better understanding of the verse we are about to discern.

It is an easy formula once the scriptural verse is read we go back three verses and begin reading forward to the verse we are discerning. Once that is completed, we then go back three verses and read forward until we again reach the verse being discerned. It is through the information gathered, we complete the exercise and receive the blessings of the lesson.

Please note some prefer to go further back and forward in the verses to gather even more information and understanding. I prefer the three on three personally. 

Dec 18, 2016, Message Taken from 2Tim 2:7 Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 

When we use our formula of reading three verses before and three verses behind, it becomes clear what is expected of a follower of Yeshua to become a spiritual warrior. the verse we are studying is v4 No man that warreth entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 

I am going to use Matthew Henry’s commentary of the 3 verses before and 3 behind, in this case, we will look at verses 4 – 6. 

V4. Our Father is asking those who are committed to His calling of warfare to be fully at the ready knowing they are going to endure great hardships as modern-day disciples of the word. We know our times are perilous and in taking up the arms for warfare, we must do it in a manner that demonstrates our action so it cannot be seen or spoken of as being evil.

Now we look at V5. A Believer is to strive for masteries; he must aim at mastering his own lusts and corruptions. He must strive according to the laws given to him; he must strive lawfully. Those who do so shall be crowned at last, after a complete victory is obtained.

In V6. we see the believer must be willing to wait for recompense. The Husbandman that laboureth must partake of the fruits, as appears.

Then we reverse and start from V10. Good disciples may and should encourage themselves in the hardest services and the hardest sufferings, with this, that God will certainly bring good to his Flock, and benefit to his elect, out of them. That they may obtain the salvation which is in Yeshua. Next to the salvation of our own soul’s we should be willing to do and suffer anything to promote the salvatio0n of the souls of others. The elect is designed to obtain salvation.

We recognize in V9. Paul was a man who did good, and yet suffered as an evil-doer: we must not think it strange if those who do well fare ill in this world, if the best of men meet with the worst of treatment; but this was his comfort that the word of God was not bound. 

Finally V8. finishes our information gathering so we might better understand and discern V7 we recognize Paul was encouraging Timothy: To encourage Timothy in suffering, the apostle puts him in mind of the resurrection of Yeshua. (2Tim.2:8) Yeshua the seed of David, was raised from the dead, according to my gospel. This is the great proof of his divine mission, and therefore a great confirmation of the truth of the Christian religion, and the consideration of it should make us faithful to the profession of our faith in Yeshua. And should particularly encourage us in suffering for it.

From this one verse and the information of the six verses we just read as additional background information, it becomes clear what v7 is calling for. We must adhere only to the leading of the Lord as it is the duty as a soldier to please his general; so as followers of Yeshua take great care to please Him. It is here we are reminded that our Father will provide understanding for all things bringing us to the knowledge that we will and must endure the hardships upon us still to come.

So as a reminder to all who pick up this mantle of leadership within their walk reflect on the resurrection of Yeshua. Which should make us faithful to our profession of following His teachings the incarnation and resurrection heartily believed and rightly measured will brace us under all sufferings in the present life.

To support this further, we should recognize through the Scriptures the Apostle Paul’s sufferings which he endured and know by these examples that the word of God was not bound. Understand nothing the enemy places before us can hinder the operation of the word of God upon men’s hearts and consciences, which cannot be confined by any human force. It is with this knowledge and assurance we will suffer showing our willingness to do something without complaining, for the salvation of our souls, recognizing this is why we are ready to do and suffer anything to promote the salvation of the souls of others.

I desire to conclude here to end the warning as a Watchman and pray you will recognize this method of discernment is our Lord showing you how to sharpen your Two-Edged Sword to an even keener sharpness as we are passing through the deep darkness shrouding the world today.  Remember discerning and understanding information brings about strength, courage, determination and the removal of fear.  

May our Father bestow His peace and discernment upon you all as you go forward in the name of Yeshua. AMEN AND AMEN.

Robert
