TRUMPETER'S CALL

The way in which God recovers and secures his interest in men is by giving them an understanding; for by that door he enters into the soul and gains possession of it. 2Samuel 22:31 “As for God, his way is perfect, the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.”

PREAMBLE by Robert

December 2017, a dear sister in Christ was in conversation with me, we were discussing should the time of the Lord’s return be known. Like many, she believed we should and felt handling that truth would prepare her for the arrival knowing the date. My explanation was in two parts the first God stated there were heavenly secrets we are not privileged to see. Matt. 24:36 “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” 

The second was our conversation swung to this statement “it seems everybody believes and holds fast they have the truth.”

They all claim the God they understand and worship is the true God. We know in Judaism God had several names and each name drew those holding it to Him. As an example the Israelites knew him as  Elohim (אלוהים) – God or gods – is the generic term for God that we find in the Hebrew Bible.

It might be used as a plural noun if it is applied to the gods of other nations, and it is used as a singular noun when it refers to Israel’s God. On the other hand, Adonai (יהוה) is the absolutely unique and personal name of the God of Israel, and the name most frequently used in the Hebrew Bible. 

Therefore, it is important to notice the difference in the names of God used at the beginning and the end of this story. When the test begins, it is Elohim that commands Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Elohim is the generic term for God or gods, and the command is one that other ‘Elohim’ could make and made: the practice of human sacrifice was well-known to Israel’s neighbours. However, it was Adonai, Abraham’s God, who stopped his hand in the end. 

In today’s worship circle there are many different sects claiming cover under the umbrella of Christian worship and like my friend stated all claim to hold the truth.

My reply is, I do not have the answer to your question, but I do recognize “Yeshua” positively stated there is only one way to eternity and life and that is through Him (Matt.7:14). Just a few will find it, and many will believe they have found it only to see destruction.

As I illustrated earlier when we read the story of Abraham hearing from God (Elohim (אלוהים) to sacrifice Issac he obeyed, and it took the real God of Israel  (Adonai (יהוה) to stop Abraham. These examples of truth are important to our walk they give us a deeper reason to fully research out what we believe to be the truth which is drawing us closer to “Yeshua” through knowing how we are building a relationship with “Yeshua.”

I desire in these releases to bring as much information as I can find forward to share as starting points for research, some from Historical writings, some from scriptural commentaries all from the Scriptures.  

I reminded my friend of our earlier conversation knowing when Yeshua was returning and that there were some Heavenly Secrets we were not privileged to see.

The upcoming information is not one of those, quite to the contrary God wants us to know the truth and desires us to find and build on it so we can understand and share with others.

“Vi.” stated I just want to keep things simple and am only following the Ten Commandments which she believed would keep her in the truth and “Vi,” is right it will. Matthew Henry (1662-1774) comments “God’s dealing with men under the gospel, in the way of grace, assures us, that he will deal with the despisers of the gospel, in the way of judgment.

We cannot worship God acceptably unless we worship him with reverence and godly fear. Only the grace of God enables us to worship God aright. God is the same just and righteous God under the gospel as under the law.

The inheritance of believers is secured to them, and all things about salvation are freely given in answer to prayer. Let us seek for grace, that we may serve God with reverence and godly fear.” 

That should be the Truth we are seeking nothing else. The world presents a number of different paths, and the misguided belief is they all lead to God.

This statement is partially correct as it does lead to a god, just not Yahweh. We are informed by Yeshua there is a broad path many will follow, but it only leads to destruction. However, there is just one path, and it is narrow leading to eternity and life, and few will find it. We should not doubt these words based on the truth we see in 2Samuel 22:31.”As for God, his way is perfect, the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.“

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father we come before your throne and lay our petitions before thee, Lord. Loose upon us Father your grace, that we might do your bidding as you have asked of us that we might be seen as obedient children, Place within us Father wisdom and discernment that we may be pleasing to you as obedient servants.

Fill our hearts Father with a desire to fulfill your willingness to share your love throughout the world. We come before you Lord as humble, meek, obedient children desiring your guidance love and wisdom. This we pray in your name Yeshua (Jesus Christ) Amen and Amen. 

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

“Here is a truth,” we cannot proceed, nor persevere, in the right way. Unless God quickens us and puts life into us; we are therefore here taught to depend upon the grace of God for strength to do every good work, and to rely upon it as grace, as purely the fruit of God’s favour.

“Another truth” which comes from Acts 19:1-7 comments by Spiros Zodhiates: this event took place in Ephesus, and it concerned the disciples of John the Baptist there. These people had received the baptism of John but not the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which would be consequent to their exercise of faith in the Lord. The statement that they made,

“We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost,” reflects their lack of knowledge about the Holy Spirit’s work or ministry, not their denial of His existence.

It is understandable in verses four and five that these people had not believed in Yeshua but in the repentance that John the Baptist had preached. Thus there is no conflict here with the belief that all believers receive the Holy Spirit at Salvation.

I wonder how many today are caught up in the repentance movement? Remember if there is an enmity before God in the church and improper teachings the Holy Spirit cannot and will not be there within it (Matthew 10:13,14,15). 

There possibly would be the teaching of repentance as John the Baptist taught. But it is our responsibility to walk in the truth and know our surroundings as David points out in Psalm 119.

For us to have the facts, we must seek information beyond what is being presented from the pulpit. It is not enough for us to just accept what we hear is providing the full story about our walk and personal relationship with Yeshua (Jesus Christ). 

We are warned by the Lord that false prophets and teachers will infiltrate our churches. 2Peter 2:1: But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom, the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert 

Receive our cries of gratitude Heavenly Father, as we recognize the wisdom thou hast cleaved to our hearts through striving to find your truth. We thank you, Father, for removing the shrouds from our eyes that we may reflect your light into the darkness and see your blessings in truth.

We honour your call to walk in the midst of truth and your commandments. We thank you, Father, for your ongoing protection and the words we require to bring those lost to your glory and promises. This we pray in the name of Yeshua. Amen and Amen. 

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

My intention with my messages is to show some of the missing or incorrect interpretations knowing they were not intentional by those who interpreted.

However, if we can find additional info explaining the definition, so we gain a better understanding of God’s Law and teachings I will strive to bring that forward.

I have always understood the word “ekklesia” to mean the body or members of God’s church. However, my research is showing there are many interpretations that show it as a building.

John McKee Comments in his article ANSWERING: WHAT IS LAW? In the Apostolic Scriptures no reader can deny how (ekklesia) is used as a term to define the Body of Messiah, and so by extension, it is rendered as “church” in most English translations of the New Testament.

But whether this is an appropriate rendering or not is something critical to ask, because when many people encounter the word “church,” they think not of a living and breathing group of Messiah followers, but instead of a building with a steeple.

This Christian commentary says that “assembly” would be the best, consistent translation of the word (ekklesia). The Septuagint, or ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible dating three centuries before Yeshua, frequently translates the Hebrew word (qahal) or assembly/organization, as (ekklesia). Qahal is one of the main Hebrew terms for “assembly” or “congregation” used in the Tanach, which almost exclusively refers to Israel. The reason I brought this information forward is to show who really holds the truth and how we are able to determine what the truth is.   

“Ok”, who why where when and what I believe is answered very simply with this definition of (ekklesia) as assembly and I want to take that one step further.

Please contemplate this scripture from Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” I firmly have aspired to this scripture as my definition of (ekklesia), and the finding and sharing of truth as the gathering is Yeshua’s name where only truth is present.

It may be debatable, discussed, researched historically through the discussions and sharing but one fact has always reigned “God’s word takes precedence over all information.

So, if I sum up this article I would say the truth of God endures forever Ps. 117:2, So when we assemble in our Lord’s name we would find the spirit of truth as spoken of in 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.”

Matthew Henry comments: “The Holy Spirit would be their Comforter, and neither men nor devils, neither sufferings in life nor in death, would ever deprive them of their joy. Believers have joy or sorrow, according to their sight of Christ, and the tokens of his presence. Sorrow is coming on the ungodly, which nothing can lessen; the believer is an heir to joy which no one can take away. Where now is the joy of the murderers of our Lord and the sorrow of his friends?”

Personally, when I read this scripture I believe at this moment the Holy Spirit is the voice of God. Speaking God’s truth to our assembly where two or three gathers in His name, note: [he] the Holy Spirit will speak not of himself, but what he hears from God and will share it with us.

Remember these are the words of a Watchman dedicated to delivering the Lord’s word as received through the Holy Spirit. God’s blessings to all. 

“An outward profession may light a man in this world, but the damps of the valley of the shadow of death will put out such a light. Watch, therefore, attend to the business of your souls. Be in fear of the Lord all the day long.” Matthew Henry (1663 -1774)

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

Where it becomes clear why choosing Right or Left (Ecclesiastes 10:2) is so relevant to our journey as “Modern Day Disciples.” We are about to discover the significance of our choice and the role it plays in essentially obtaining and retaining oil for our lamps

which Yeshua spoke of in His last sermon where he offers the Parable of the Ten Virgins. We as “Modern Day Disciples” will recognize the importance of requiring and seeking a healthy and intensely personal relationship with our Lord Yeshua.

And when requested to share our oil why we should not. We are going to find out who is providing this oil and its purpose within our spiritual journey, along with what cost if there might be hypocrisy or slothfulness in our journey. All of this information must become a part of the light shining through us and the spoken part of our ministry.

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father, hear our cries before your throne, recognize our petitions being placed at the foot of your throne. We ask the Lord for His strength to acknowledge the depth of our walk, the brightness of our light.

We pray, Father you would give us the fervour to remain vigil while waiting for your return, strength to continue our pursuit of your wisdom your love and compassion that we might draw closer to you Yeshua capturing more of your light that we might fill our vessels with your oil. Give us a strength that we may not waver as we wait for your return.

Remove any sliver of doubt or fear which may appear in our walk or testimony. Fill us with overwhelming courage and the joys of heaven that we might share your love and compassion as oil to light the lamps of those preparing to be bridesmaids. We pray this in your name Yeshua. Amen and Amen.

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

Yeshua keeps no servants to be idle: they have

received their all from him, and have nothing they can call their own but sin. Our receiving from Yeshua is to our working for him. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. The day of the account comes at last.

We must all be reckoned with as to what good we have got to our own souls, and have done to others, by the advantages we have enjoyed. It is not meant that the improving of natural powers can entitle a man to Divine grace. It is the real Follower’s liberty and privilege to be employed as his Redeemer’s servant, in promoting his glory, and the good of his people: the love of Yeshua constrains him to live no longer to himself, but to Him, that died for him, and rose again. Those who think it impossible to please God, and in vain to serve him, will do nothing to purpose in religion. They complain that He requires of them more than they are capable of, and punishes them for what they cannot help.

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) brings to light in his commentary a reason: The circumstances of the parable of the ten virgins were taken from the marriage customs among the Jews, and explain the great day of Yeshua’s coming. See the nature of Christianity. As Followers, we profess to attend upon Yeshua, to honour him, also to be waiting for his arrival. Sincere Followers are the wise virgins, and hypocrites the foolish ones. Those are the truly wise or foolish that are so in the affairs of their souls. Many have a lamp of profession in their hands, but have not in their hearts, sound knowledge and settled resolution, which are needed to carry them through the services and trials of the present state. Their hearts are not stored with holy dispositions, by the new-creating Spirit of God. Our light must shine before men in good works; but this is not likely to be done unless there is a fixed, active principle in the heart, of faith in Yeshua, and love to God and our brethren.

As “Modern Day Disciples” our chief concern is to share we all need lanterns in our hands, when we attend the bridegroom, to do him honour and do him service. Followers of Yeshua are children of light. We receive the light from the gospel and those (us) who have received it must not only be enlightened by it but must shine as lights. And hold it forth (Philippians 2:15,16). Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) explains the adopted custom of the ten bride-maids Yeshua used in the parable. “It was a custom sometimes used among the Jews on that occasion, that the bridegroom came, attended with his friends, late at night, to the house of the bride. Where she expected him; accompanied with her bride-maids who, upon notice given of the bridegroom’s approach. Were, to go out with lamps in their hands to light him into the house with ceremony and formality, to the celebrating of the nuptials with great mirth. And some think that on these occasions they had usually ten virgins for the Jews never held a synagogue, circumcised, kept the Passover, or contracted marriage, but ten persons at least were present. Boaz when he married Ruth, had ten witnesses, (Ruth 4:2).

They all slumbered and slept. The delay represents the space between the real or apparent conversion of these professors, and the coming of Yeshua, to take them away by death, or to judge the world. But though Yeshua tarries past our time, he will not wait past the due time. The wise virgins kept their lamps burning, but they did not keep themselves awake.
Too many real Followers grow negligent, and one degree of carelessness makes way for another. Those that allow themselves to become lax will scarcely keep from being slack; therefore dread the beginning of spiritual decrease. A startling summons was given. Go ye forth to meet Him, is a call to those prepared. The notice of Yeshua’s approach and the request to meet him will awaken those who give the appearance of slumbering.

Even those best prepared for death have work to do to get actually ready, 2 Peter 3:14. It will be a day of search and enquiry, and it concerns us to think how we shall then be found. Some wanted the oil to supply their lamps when going out. Those that come up short of true grace will undoubtedly see the want of it one time or another. Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) quotes it best “An outward profession may light a man in this world, but the damps of the valley of the shadow of death will put out such a light. Watch, therefore, attend to the business of your souls. Be in fear of the Lord all the day long.“
At this point, I was shown the parable in Luke 13:6, “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.” This parable of the barren fig-tree is intended to enforce the warning: (“Be in fear of the Lord all the day long.“ ) the barren tree, except it, brings forth fruit, will be cut down. As no place or employment can secure from the stroke of death, we should consider the sudden removals of others as

warnings to ourselves. On these accounts, Yeshua founded a call to repentance. The same Yeshua that bids us repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, calls us to repent, or otherwise, we shall perish. This parable in the first place refers to the nation and people of the Jews. Yet it is, without doubt, for awakening all that enjoy the means of grace, and the privileges of the visible church. When God has borne long, we may hope that he will bear with us yet a little longer, but we cannot expect that he will. We see from research the connection between the two different yet similar parables. The first showing we must be ready, diligently waiting for Yeshua’s return even up to our time of passing into Eternity. And even then realizing, we will need our lanterns and the oil to light them as we prepare to pass through the valley of the shadow of death. Now we see the importance of obtaining the oil and more so recognizing how to share this knowledge, without depleting our supply.

That meaning being diligent and not becoming complacent falling into a slumber where we have our lanterns lit however not replenishing our supply. We receive the light from the gospel and those who have received the light must not only be enlightened by it but must shine as lights. And hold it forth (Philippians 2:15,16). The second parable in Luke 13: Yeshua explains v25.) “When once the master of the house is risen up and hath shut the door. And ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us, and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: v26.) then shall ye begin to say, we have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. v27.) But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
To fully understand our Saviours earlier statement we need to recognize there were scholars in the midst of the crowd who were asking questions of Yeshua to trip him

. One of the questions they asked had to do with who was going to be saved. Yeshua knew no answer would satisfy and not create a stir. The following is Matthew Henry’s commentary on Yeshua’s response: “Our Saviour came to guide men’s consciences, not to gratify their curiosity. Ask not, How many shall be saved? But, Shall I be one of them? Not, What shall become of such and such? But, What shall I do, and what will become of me? Strive to enter in at the strait gate. This is directed to each of us; it is, Strives ye. All that will be saved must enter in at the strait gate, must undergo a change of the whole man. Those that would enter must strive to enter. Here are awakening considerations, to enforce this exhortation. Oh, that we may be all awakened by them! They answer the question, Are there few that shall be saved? But let none despond either as to themselves or others, for there are last who shall be first, and first who shall be last. If we reach heaven, we shall meet many there whom we little thought to meet, and miss many whom we expected to find.” Holding our lanterns and filling them with oil going out to meet

the Bridegroom to honour and serve Him now takes on a special meaning when we add the second parable. It isn’t enp and prepare to do the same. As “Modern Day Disciples,” we must always be diligent never becoming complacent about deepening our personal relationship with Yeshua lest we slumber or fall asleep and fall short of the mark.
In the following commentary, I believe Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) from the book of Matthew 13:36-43) is describing our modern-day churches. “This parable represents the present and future state of the gospel church; Christ’s care of it, the devil’s enmity against it, the mixture there is in it of good and bad in this world and the separation between them in the other world. So prone is fallen man to sin, that if the enemy sows the tares, he may go his way, they will spring up, and do hurt; whereas, when good seed is sown, it must be tended, watered, and fenced. The servants complained to their master; Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? No doubt he did; whatever is amiss in the church, we are sure it is not from Christ. Though gross transgressors, and such as openly oppose the gospel, ought to be separated from the society of the faithful, yet no human skill can make an exact separation. Those who oppose must not be cut off but instructed, and that with meekness. And though good and bad are together in this world, yet at the great day they shall be parted; then the righteous and the wicked shall be plainly known; here sometimes it is hard to distinguish between them. Let us, knowing the terrors of the Lord, not do iniquity. At death, believers shall shine forth to themselves; at the great day, they shall shine forth before all the world. They shall shine by reflection, with light borrowed from the Fountain of light. Their sanctification will be made perfect, and their justification published. May we be found of that happy number.”
Those are not Yeshua’s followers who cannot enjoy being alone with God and their own hearts. It is good, upon special occasions, and when we find our hearts enlarged, to continue long in secret prayer, and in pouring out our hearts before the Lord. It is no new thing for Yeshua’s disciples to meet with storms in the way of duty, but he thereby shows himself with more grace to them and for them.
He can take what way he pleases to save his people. But even appearances of deliverance sometimes occasion trouble and perplexity to God’s people, from mistakes about Yeshua. Nothing ought to affright those that have Yeshua near them, and know he is theirs; not death itself. Peter walked upon the water, not for diversion or to boast of it, but to go to Yeshua; and in that he was thus wonderfully borne up. 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 called Peter to 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 importance 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.
CLOSING PRAYER by Robert
Father in Heaven, hear our prayers of gratitude and praise of your greatness abounding in our souls through the knowledge thou has bestowed upon us. We humbly thank you for the courage, strength, knowledge, and patience you filled our spirit with that we might remain vigilant as we wait for your return. We thank you, Father, for building on our endurance, and determination to serve as humble, obedient servants. We thank you, Lord, for providing your oil for our lanterns through the Holy Spirit so we might come forward on your return to honour and serve you, Lord. In all things father, we thank you and pray in your name Yeshua. Amen and Amen.
CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

Two spectacular celebrations have just finished as the Passover and Resurrection were celebrated this past weekend. Someone asked me what the difference between the two was. My, answer I see no difference as both are celebrating the presence of God and His love and compassion for His children, even though, each is recognizing and expressing their gratitude to God for something miraculous God achieved on their behalf. I see God revealing His eternal presence to each in a manner both have identified and excepted, The bottom line in God’s eyes we are a unique creation of His design.

Which, He filled with His Spirit and wisdom and in His actions showed His Love and compassion for all no matter what we identify ourselves as Jew or Christian. How we pay homage to Him is a personal choice lead by what we have been spiritually taught, the bottom line we all worship Yahewa our creator the one who loves us all. How our final judgment will play out will depend on our choices, made during our

journey through this life. Each personal relationship with God and His Son brings further information for us to seek and find the truth of how to light the path to Eternity and life. As we approach either Yeshua’s return or our final days with lanterns filled with oil to light the way. For us to honour and serve God’s truth will be revealed of whether we have a role to play at the wedding. The choice is ours to make and follow as one of the five with oil and our lanterns shining bright or one of the five desiring oil as their lanterns grow dim and go out.

In all, through the Holy Spirit, we must never lose sight of what we are building within our relationship with God and Yeshua, that being always sharing the Love God holds for all. We must never spiritually slumber or sleep, or allow our lanterns to flicker and go out, always being diligent like the Lord taught us, “wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove,” as we anticipate and wait for His return or eventually pass into our Eternal Life and judgment.

Please, remember these articles are written by a humble servant of our Lord. I pray

that all will find answers in them and they will assist in your journey on the narrow path to eternity and life. Blessings to all who go forward in peace sharing the Love Yeshua has blessed us with, may your lanterns shine long and bright in all parts of your journey in this life. God be with you all in your choices and decisions about your walk. God Bless and keep you safe on your lighted path.

Ecclesiastes 10:2: “ A Wiseman’s heart is at his right hand, but a fool’s heart at his left. Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.” 

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

When it comes to measuring our values what we draw our standards and beliefs societally from are based on carnal knowledge (Debates, Courts, Legislature) none of it matters. Our carnal laws are derived from God’s laws which are the foundation for keeping order within our lives and societies.

I believe God does not see us as the carnal being he created. He sees us as the spirit He breathed into the vessel in His image, the soul which the Holy Spirit filled with God’s knowledge that we would know we were a unique creation connected to God until Satan tempted us through Adam and Eve to know sin and death. 

From the moment we draw our first breath “as one so wonderfully fashioned” by God in the womb (Job 31:15), we enter into our journey through life to reconnect with God Spiritually through Yeshua before our carnal temple expires.

However, as time progresses, we learn that part of our journey to reconnect with God is a personal choice we alone must make to walk to the right or walk to the left (Ecclesiastes 10:2).

In 2016, I watched the final USA presidential candidates debate. In the oration, several quips were exchanged between the candidates. However, there was a woman candidate, who shocked and deeply saddened me. When she openly and pridefully admitted to condoning “Full Term Abortion“(murder of an infant). 

Her brazen statement in my mind brought forward this question; “Have we as a society and followers of Yeshua allowed ourselves to move to the left of reason and condone uncaringly, the acceptance of taking a life?” Two points I desire to make: 1) There cannot be any Enmity before God. 2) If you witness a crime and do or say nothing about it; you are just as guilty as the person committing that offence (sin or Enmity). Let us take heed lest we in any way make ourselves guilty of other men’s sins against God (1Timothy 5:22).

In Gods’ eyes, it matters not what man’s wisdom states is right or wrong or whether you believe a fetus is human or can live outside of the womb or what side you consider to be correct; or what the highest courts of the land say, “God’s law prevails,” and he states “Thou shalt do no murder (Matt. 19:18).” And whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.(Matt. 5:21)” Yeshua warned what would lie ahead for those who harm little ones. Please note: God doesn’t specify born or unborn little ones, check Matt. 18: 6 – 7 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones, which, believe in me, it was better for him that a millstone was hanged about his neck, and that he was drowned in the depth of the sea.V.7: Woe unto the world because of offenses! For it must, needs are that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!   

And then pray for compassion and forgiveness for those who have erred out of silence, inaction and especially out of unbelief or hard-heartedness. Do not err as many will want to dismiss this warning by categorizing it through worldly interpretations. Matthew 24:35 Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Gods commandments apply today as they did in Moses era. They, God’s commandments, like it or not, are the foundation of our Laws and Constitutions which are drawn up through the actions of those who followed and interpreted God’s commandments as our earlier lawmakers, did then and should do now.  

TRUMPETER’S CALL 

Sounding the Trumpet. Ezekiel 33:3 – 5,  v:3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land. He blows the Trumpet, and warn the people; v:4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the Trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword comes, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. v:5 He heard the sound of the Trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 

I was shown to call for all believers to come together as an army to do Spiritual Warfare and prayed the Lord would rain, wisdom and discernment upon all that they might know their enemy and how to fight them. That Trumpet is still sounding for recruits and prayer warriors as the battle deepens.

Hear the “Warning Trumpet,” take it seriously I pray. It matters not what you think of me, or if you believe what I am showing as a sign; know this, it all comes down to your choice to walk to the right or the left.  

Woe unto you leaders who hear and heed not. Woe unto you who would be seen as Hirelings who would shepherd without Spiritual discernment. 

Our nations are in a great battle between Good and Evil being fought under the guise of two different political ideologies. One seen as a movement to restore the countries to Greatness again which is being fervently attacked from all sides and levels. Because as it exposes the underbelly of the nations it as well reveals the depth of corruption and evil which exists and more importantly who is languishing within it.

The party to the left is campaigning under the guise of bringing the countries and people together offering multitudes of empty promises used to maintain absolute control over the masses through discord and poverty. This party and its leaders are being exposed to those who will hear and see to what depth of evil these leaders have sunken into and are willing to sacrifice spiritually to win back power. James 3:16 For where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every evil work. 

That Evil reared its ugly head through a woman who brazenly stood before the nation (USA), and declared its position to millions of people through her declaration that full-term abortions (Murder) were quite alright in the name of preserving a woman’s life. At that very moment, the population she represented placed enmity before God (Proverbs 12:15 “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.“) Keep in mind I am not speaking about a heinous crime committed against people, but against Yeshua, as it is He who fashions us in the womb check out Job 31:15: “Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?”

HERE ENDS THE SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET

OPENING PRAYER by Robert 

Brothers and Sisters in Yeshua (Jesus Christ) I pray for our Heavenly Father to rain discernment unto all believers walking in the teachings of Yeshua. Lord these days are filled with all forms of spirits shrouding the minds of your children. I humbly ask Father you would loose unto them Angels to sever the cords of delusion, and confusion. Have the Angels clear their minds of all hard-heartedness towards unborn children to bring into them a spirit of compassion and understanding of whose children these really are. I pray Yeshua in your name You would once again make the womb a haven for all unborn children. Strengthen those joining the Spiritual battle against the evil fomenting under the guise of carnal knowledge pleasing their fleshly desires. Guide us Father to the right and your light. This I pray in your name Yeshua. Amen and Amen.   

OPENING COMMENTARY by Robert  

Modern-day Disciples, here we are in the Den of Wolves knowing what our mission is, as did the Apostles when they ventured forth. Yeshua has prepared us for the tasks ahead. In this article, he is revealing what depth we will need to take the word to. 

The following is a commentary on King Solomon’s wisdom shown in Ecclesiastes 10:16 – 20: The happiness of a land depends on the character of its rulers. The people cannot be happy when their princes are childish, and lovers of pleasure. Slothfulness is of ill consequence both to private and public affairs. Money, of itself, will neither feed nor clothe, though it answers the occasions of this present life, as what is to be had, may generally be had for money.

But the soul, as it is not redeemed, so it is not maintained with corruptible things, as silver and gold. God sees what men do, and hears what they say in secret; and, when he pleases, brings it to light in strange and unsuspected ways. If there be a hazard in secret thoughts and whispers against earthly rulers, what must be the peril from every deed, word, or thought of rebellion against the King of kings, and Lord of lords! He seeth in secret. His ear is ever open. Sinner! curse not THIS KING in thy inmost thought. Your curses cannot affect Him; but his curse, coming down upon you, will sink you to the lowest hell.

Those especially who make a profession of religion should keep from all appearances of evil. A wise man has a significant advantage over a fool, who is always at a loss when he has anything to do. Sin is the reproach of sinners, wherever they go, and shows their folly.

Of the many who hear the report of the gospel, there are a few, very few, that believe it. It is reported openly and publicly, not whispered in a corner, or confined to the schools, but proclaimed to all and it is so faithful a saying, and so well worthy of all acceptance, that one would think it should be universally received and believed. But it is quite otherwise few believed the prophets who spoke before of Yeshua when he came himself none of the rulers or the Pharisees followed him.

To this day of the many that profess to believe this report, there are few that cordially embrace it and submit to the power. 

If we recognize and understand we can be found in sin and held accountable through our inaction towards a sin. Then we must acknowledge as modern-day disciples there are many who have not chosen to walk to the right of Yeshua and many identify themselves walking on the left. Not recognizing the consequences or not wanting to know them.

Most of mankind do not consider the things of another world at all because they are asleep, or they do not consider them aright because they sleep and dream. Our moderation as to all earthly things should be known to all men. Shall Believers, who have the light of the blessed gospel shining in their faces, be careless about their souls, and unmindful of another world?

Modern-Day Disciples, we must teach We need the spiritual armour, or the three Christian graces, faith, love, and hope. Faith; if we believe that the eye of God is always upon us, that there is another world to prepare for, we shall see a reason to watch and be sober. True and fervent love to God and the things of God will keep us watchful and sober. If we have the hope of salvation, let us take heed of anything that would shake our trust in the Lord. We have ground on which to build unshaken hope, when we consider, that salvation is by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, to atone for our sins and to ransom our souls. We should join in prayer and praise one another. We should set a good example one before another, and this is the best means to answer the end of society. Thus we shall learn how to live with Him, with whom we hope to live forever.

As modern-day disciples of the gospel, we are described by the work of our office, which is to serve and honour the Lord. It is our duty not only to give good counsel, but also to warn the flock of dangers, and reprove for whatever may be amiss. The people should honour and love those who minister because their business is the welfare of men’s souls. And the people should be at peace among themselves, doing all they can to guard against any differences. But the love of peace must not make us wink at sin. The fearful and sorrowful spirits should be encouraged, and a kind word may do much good. We must bear and forbear. We must be long-suffering, and keep down anger, and this to all men. Whatever man does to us, we must do good to others.

We find Solomon sharing his experience so we as modern-day disciples, having received wisdom from Yeshua would know how to use that gift. “Solomon presses the rich to do good to others. Give freely, though it may seem thrown away and lost. Give to many. Excuse not thyself with the good thou hast done, from the good thou hast further to do. It is not lost, but well laid out. We have reason to expect evil, for we are born to trouble; it is wisdom to do good in the day of prosperity. Riches cannot profit us if we do not benefit others.

Every man must labour to be a blessing to that place where the providence of God casts him. Wherever we are, we may find good work to do, if we have but hearts to do it. If we magnify every little difficulty, start objections, and fancy hardships, we shall never go on, much less go through with our work. Winds and clouds of tribulation are, in God’s hands, designed to try us. God’s work shall agree with his word, whether we see it or not. And we may well trust God to provide for us, without our anxious, disquieting cares. Be not weary in well-doing, for in due season, in God’s time, you shall reap.”

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

In all of what has been revealed and taught over these past months, it appears we as “modern-day disciples.” are offering a simple choice. For some, that option is a choice of where they will walk with Yeshua on His right or left. What they are about to recognize is this choice will resonate into eternity for them. I am sure like many who hold on the right of Yeshua I ponder how those who choose the Left cannot see the folly which is their whole life. I wondered why some people were going through life moving from one drama to the next, never finding peace. How they will search their whole life for answers and never see them. How many will substitute carnal knowledge for Godly wisdom, which brings peace, and laughs and mocks peace while never finding it themselves? 

I am closing by quoting Solomon’s advice to all young people. “Life is sweet to bad men because they have their portion in this life; it is sweet to good men because it is the time of preparation for a better; it is sweet to all. Here is a caution to think of death, even when life is most sweet. Solomon makes an affecting address to young people. “If they would desire an opportunity to pursue every pleasure. Then follow your desires, but be assured that God will call you into judgment. How many give loose to every appetite, and rush into every vicious pleasure!”

Here King Solomon cautions: But God registers every one of your sinful thoughts and desires, your idle words, and wicked words. If you would avoid remorse and terror if you would have hope and comfort on a dying bed if you would escape misery here and hereafter, then remember the vanity of youthful pleasures. King Solomon means to condemn the pleasures of sin is evident. His object, draw the young to purer and more lasting joys.

Modern-day Disciples,” we need to relate to the youth, King Solomon’s language is not one grudging youthful pleasures because he can no longer partake of them; but of one who has, by a miracle of mercy, been brought back to safety. Solomon “would persuade the young from trying a course whence so few returns. If the young would live a life of true happiness, if they would secure happiness hereafter, let them remember their Creator in the days of their youth.”

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

May our Heavenly Father have mercy and rain forgiveness unto all the nations, its youth, parents, families, teachers, and leaders. Bestow on them your wisdom and discernment that they will all make the proper choice within their heart of where to follow. This I pray in the name of Yeshua  Amen and Amen.

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.”

PRE-AMBLE by Robert
I always keep my dictionary and KJV Bible by my side to determine the real definition and Spiritual meaning of those words I might not fully comprehend or understand. However, in this article, I am being led beyond the dictionary and secular definitions. The Holy Spirit is revealing as “Modern Day Disciples” our spoken words become alive and represent a greater amount of information and depth, far beyond their secular meanings. And possess more power than we recognize or at times will understand or comprehend.

This article will reveal why all the “Modern Day Disciples” should exercise deep discernment and caution before speaking or writing. (Matthew 12:35 – 36) “v35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. v36. But I say unto you, that every idle word that man shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father we give thanks to you Lord for all blessings and teachings you may have brought to us through the Holy Spirit. Father, we would ask that you build a hedge of protection around those who are reflecting your light into the world as Fishers of Men. Bring to them your wisdom and discernment strengthen them, Lord, fill them with your Love Father so they may continue doing your good work by reflecting your light deeply into this world. Bring discernment and knowledge to them, Lord, so they understand how to effectively use the spiritual Sword you have provided as a heavenly gift. This I pray in the name of YESHUA Amen and Amen.

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

Secular writers use words to create original characters, describe dramatic situations and various depictions of life real and fictitious. Which as humans we can visualize as imaginations in our minds. Scholars use words to teach how to discern or interpret, and most of all stir our minds and memories into activity. Historians use words to capture events and describe our history that it might live on for future generations to study and understand our past societies and events.

I believe all Words should be spoken or written carefully and always with forethought, before being orated or written. I now caution the “Modern Day Disciples,” your spoken words will become alive and definitely, spiritual, and go beyond secular meanings. Scripture shows what the Holy Spirit reveals is meant to touch our soul with Living Words and when spoken or written will have a profound effect, on both the spirit and soul of those they are revealed to in ways we are unable, without the Holy Spirit, to comprehend, discern or understand. We must be wise in the choice of our words so they will awaken the soul of those we are approaching rather than repelling them.

The Holy Spirit reveals what power is behind our spoken and prayed words in Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The Holy Spirit then reveals how to properly use the heavenly gifts of God in Eph. 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Living words are more than just secular dictionary definitions. When accepted through the Holy Spirits tutorings, Living Words will couple

deeper meanings to our words and amplify them. For example, if I speak the word “WORK” the dictionary defines it as “labour, employment, occupation, Job, something produced using a particular material or tool. etc.” So when I take the word “WORK“ and assess it as a Living Word, I see it revealed as a series of specific items “sustenance, savings, success, achievements, self-worth, self-esteem, professionalism and more.” And on a spiritual level, it fills me with accomplishment, uplifting, joy, peace and draws me closer to Yeshua.

It reveals the effect it has on us spiritually as individuals and what effect it is going to present on the physical plane as well. It reveals everything which is occurring within our temple on the physical plane has already occurred within our spiritual realm.

Now with the understanding of the possible effects and consequences by using Living Words. It becomes very clear what power the Scriptures are relating

too and the wisdom we need to exercise when using “Living Words” “For the word of God is quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12).

This statement reveals several things, “however” it identifies two specific things which verify my firm belief our spirit and soul exist as separate entities yet appear as one when the Lord defines the separation of our spirit and soul. Secondly, it shows the words I speak or write are more than secular definitions and we must be very careful of the intent we “foster and hold,” in our soul (mind, will and, emotions) when speaking or writing as those words have become alive. Titus 3:1-2

“Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work v2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.”

Now understanding what has been revealed, it becomes very clear “why” as “Modern Day Disciples” we should never consider or use cursing as a form of communication in any circumstance. I am citing these scriptural verses to further clarify the power, behind, our Living Words, in Mark 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, “No man eat the fruit of thee hereafter forever.” And his disciples heard it. Mark 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. Then Peter in Mark 11:21 “And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold the fig tree which thou cursed is withered away.”

It is here we gain the understanding of what and who the power is in our spoken and written words and why we need to be very careful, and definitely use our

discernment and wisdom, before setting our words in motion either verbally or written. I refer to Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, “Have faith in God.“ Mark 11:23 “For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea: and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass: he shall have whatsoever he saith.“ So it is in these verses we learn who is behind the power of our words and what is required to make them alive “Faith and God.”

Earlier in this article I stated and showed how Living Words have additional meanings and in doing so carry extra power. So when spoken in anger or through disdain these words would act as curses to be fulfilled unwittingly on the part of those who spoke them and unintentionally held contempt in their heart, thus unknowingly will put forth a curse.

Understand once the spoken words of Jesus are applied to our Living Words and are spoken like a curse, it will have set in motion, when we don’t use our wisdom and discernment, events we have no way of controlling or knowing the harm as a result. 1Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.

Something to remember, once a curse goes out it must complete its mission, and if unable, it returns to the one who sent it out (knowingly or unknowingly) and that person will sustain seven times greater discomfort (Luke 11:25 “Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

Also, recognize you do not need to cognitively speak the curse into being, a curse can be developed by anyone not actually understanding what they are creating when they talk using Living Words through contempt or scorn, which they at that moment have no doubt and believe to be true through anger. The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. Proverbs 11:17

The lack of discernment and understanding becomes a gateway for the enemy to use his evil against us, as there is no controlling the tongue pointed out in James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is unruly evil, full of deadly poison. James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
The Living Word is not just extended to the New Testament, as God’s Word is still alive in the Old Testament and applies to God’s Law’s as they were written, Matt. 24:35 “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass

away.“ especially those outlining curses. In Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Those curses are listed in Deuteronomy 28:16 to 67.

I believe the world as it stands apart from God and His commandments is currently suffering and growing deeper into those described curses. Through what is described in Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

When we take Living Words lightly and do not recognize, how through our abuse of them, we won’t realize what actions have been set in place and what the eventual consequences will be on others and ourselves. Once we realize what is occurring we should find the answer of why and how to rectify it in Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever.

It becomes apparent what action must be taken to rectify this position and know not all will return to the truth or will be willing to accept the truth. As they will remain trapped in their own vanities and imaginations remaining in the darkness of their hearts. The answer caution must be taken when speaking or writing, but most of all know your exact position with God, not some justified or rationalized belief supported by vanities and imaginations. We are instructed in James 1:19 “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” James 1:20 “for the wrath of man worketh not to the righteousness of God.“

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father, hear our prayers to bring your wisdom, understanding, and discernment into our being so we might be as you have guided us to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Fill us with your patience love and compassion so we go forward sharing your light and living water that many will never thirst again. Be our strength Father as we know you are behind our words and are shining your light through us Lord so we can and will expose your truth to the multitudes we walk among as living examples of your mercy filling us with faith. Allow us to demonstrate the healing you have performed in us to bring us to eternity and everlasting life. This we pray in the name of Yeshua. Amen and Amen.

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

I am going to close by using Matthew Henry’s commentary on John 8:41 – 47 to explain how easy it is for Satan to work in our lives if we are not vigilant with our thought process.

Matthew Henry (1662 -1774) ” Satan prompts men to excesses by which they murder themselves and others, while what he puts into the mind tends to ruin men’s souls. He is the great promoter of falsehood of every kind. He is a liar, all his temptations are carried on by his calling evil good, and good evil, and promising freedom in sin. He is the author of all lies; whom liars resemble and obey, with whom all liars shall have their portion forever.

The special lusts of the devil are spiritual wickedness, the lusts of the mind, and corrupt reasonings, pride and envy, wrath and malice, enmity to good, and enticing others to evil. By the truth, here understand the revealed will of God as to the salvation of men by Yeshua, the truth Yeshua was now preaching, and which the Jews opposed.“

The key I believe Modern Day Disciples should draw from this commentary is in the first two sentences. What evil action are we exposing our souls too when we lose control over our position in spirituality and open the door to evil ever so slightly? I recognize nobody in the flesh can be 100%, we are all going to be tempted and at times weak. What I am attempting to explain is it is going to occur and when it does use the knowledge gained to stop it and correct your position in it as quickly as you can knowing no one has a pass.

Know your position within your walk and be truthful to it. If you err admit it and correct it. We must walk as examples and in all things demonstrate God’s forgiving Love and Compassion.

“Please,” remember these writings are sent as warnings to those willing to read and use them to assess their real position in following Yeshua’s footsteps. They are offered without any judgment or condemnation to any individual or church leader.
It is with a gentle heart I received this message, and with the same kind heart, I pray you will receive it and will be edified in your walk. I pray that the Holy Spirit will fill all with his discernment to recognize all Living Words and teach all how to use them within the Love of God The Father, in the name of Yeshua, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit Amen, and Amen.
