TRUMPETER'S CALL

James 4:2-3 KJV
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. [3] Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

How often I hear the comments on why the Lord is not answering prayer? What must I say or do to gain his attention? Have I not been loyal and performed to his will? If we discern the opening verses and take some time to ponder its wisdom, we may recognize our answer.

Since all wars and fightings come from the corruptions of our own hearts, it is right to mortify those lusts that war in the members. Wordly and fleshly lusts are distempers, which will not allow content or satisfaction. Sinful desires and affections stop prayer and the working of our desires toward God.

And let us beware that we do not abuse or misuse the mercies received, by the disposition of the heart when prayers are granted When men ask of God prosperity, they often ask with wrong aims and intentions. If we thus seek the things of this world, it is just in God to deny them. Unbelieving and cold desires beg denials; and we may be sure that when prayers are rather the language of lusts than of graces, they will return empty.

Here is a decided warning to avoid all criminal friendships with this world. Worldly-mindedness is enmity to God. An enemy may be reconciled, but “enmity” never can be reconciled.

We should love the Lord, with our Strength, and our Salvation; we should call on him in every trouble, and praise him for every deliverance; we should aim to walk with him in all deliverance righteousness and true holiness, keeping from sin. If we belong to him, he conquers and reigns for us, and we shall conquer and reign through him, and partake of the mercy of our anointed King, which is promised to all his seed for evermore. Amen.

What comes to mind that might unfold some hidden enmity within the lives of believers is the following parable Matthew 19:20-22 KJV
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? [21] Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. [22] But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

So, when I discern this parable, I recognize our Lord was asking this young man to give up his worldly luxuries and comforts in exchange for heavenly ones. I question how many of us have been asked to perform the same actions as that young man? Now, my question is how many of us responded in the same manner?

Giving up our worldly luxuries and comforts is not a simple task! As you ponder this spiritual request, you must keep in mind our Lord is measuring the intent of your heart as he did Solomon. 1 Kings 3:11-13 NKJV
Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, [12] behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. [13] And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.
1 Kings 3:14 NKJV
So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”

In these verses, we should recognize the importance of being obedient and submissive to our Lord’s calling and requests. I am not suggesting we will be made as rich as Solomon, but our blessings will be in the same manner befitting our situation.

We know not the depth of heavenly blessings nor what may be available and this is where our trust and faith must enter in as a part of our obedience in answering our Lord’s request similar to  Matthew 19:21 KJV 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Or will our response in the spirit be similar to the young man’s Matthew 19:22 KJV But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions

Matthew 7:14 KJV
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa.

PRE-AMBLE by Robert 

“The worldly churches told you, and you believed this was going to be a walk in the park enjoying the scenery.” This article has proven to be very challenging once I entered into the front line prepared to do battle, but more so in being readied to share what I have been shown. For example, old soldiers wore shoes of brass to defend their feet against the gall-traps (three-pronged metal pieces) and sharp sticks, which were wont to be laid privily in the way, to obstruct the marching of the enemy, those who fell upon them being unfit to march. This is a preview of what is to be revealed, and not to be taken lightly as the enemy is going to tempt you, be prepared to be outfitted for battle. Please note the Holy Spirit has removed the kid gloves and is providing us with Warfare weaponry, Armory and how to use it. “Are you ready”? 

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father in humility and awe I approach your throne to place this petition before you for all who have taken on the armor of light in preparation for our future battles in the spirit. I ask Father for the placing of courage in their hearts the removal of fear through your knowledge, compassion, and love for all your children. Place in them Father your desire to serve as faithful soldiers bearing the protection and weapons, you have made available for us Lord through the Holy Spirits guidance and teachings. This I pray in your name in the name of Yeshua, Amen, and Amen.

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

The past articles have brought us to the position we are currently in, preparing or actually engaging in spiritual battles preserving our salvation or assisting others to find their footing in Salvation. We have received instructions from the Holy Spirit and the Apostles of what we must be doing and how we should be doing it. What I personally am questioning is how to recognize the tools or weapons to conduct those battles as well how to actually use them when engaged in combat. I prayed and here is what I believe the Holy Spirit is providing as answers for our preparation. 

On a personal note: “all previous articles have caused changes in my walk through the convictions found in researching and posting of the articles, I pray they have done the same for those reading them. God’s Blessings are attached to them all and meant for those who learn to discern, understand each one and their purpose. Bring conviction and change to your lives and walk in the Spirit.” 

As a result of growing spiritually, I have as well recognized a deepening of my ability to discern, understand and know the subtle temptations the enemy is placing before me. The frequency of his attempts and the deepening of their appearance and depth of allure as my understanding is broadened. What I am now recognizing is how many followers of Yeshua are going into battle with fervency but being naked and without the Armor of God and are quickly disabled by the enemies “fiery darts.”   

The temptations are just the tip of his assaults on us as Beacons and Fisher’s of Men once we enter into battle we are immediately hit with “fiery darts” of the evil, and as naked warriors, we suffer many casualties and multiple defeats which we should not.  

My question is “Why are Gods Warriors not being prepared for battle?” Are modern day churches teaching how to protect yourselves when you enter the battle?” We are asked to shed the covering of evil bring our bodies into submission gaining control over them to walk in the light of God as warriors. However, without the proper armament, we become a target in the spot light, easy to hit easy to wound and to take out of the battle with “fiery darts.”  

There is a saying in the Martial Arts which defines the individual’s position as a participant and at what level he will perform as a combatant. I believe this applies to all who would enter into a battle “Recognize your enemies strengths and weaknesses.” “Recognize your strengths, weaknesses, and level of ability and how to use them against your enemy.” I am paraphrasing these quotes from memory. However, I think their value will be understood and discerned. 

What are these fiery darts? How can we recognize them or defeat them? I believe Jesse Penn Lewis (1861 – 1927) in her book “War on The Saints” on pages 216 – 217 gives us a detailed description of how they are loosed against us and how we can recognize them. “ If the man becomes “spiritual” through the Baptism of the Spirit, and yet is ignorant of the laws of the spirit, especially the tactics of Satan, he is liable to yield to an onslaught of deceiving spirits. When the believer understands these direct assaults of wicked spirits, he becomes able to discern the condition of his soul, and to retain control over it, refusing all weights and pressure to drive it below the usual poise, in which it is capable of cooperation with the Spirit of God.”

In Ephesians 6: 10 – 18 Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) comments on the Apostle Pauls instruction to all followers of Yeshua to participate in the following in order I believe to be prepared to go into spiritual warfare armed and protected. Keep this in mind this information is going to be of very particular importance. Even if you choose not to take on the mantle of a “Fisher of Men,” and just continue working out your own Salvation: v10: “Finally, my brethren, be active in the Lord, and in the power of His might. v11: Put on the whole armor of God, that ye be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. v12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. v13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. v14: Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. v15: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. v16: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. v17: And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: v18: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.  

Is not our life a warfare? It is so, for we struggle with the frequent calamities of human life. Is not our spiritual walks much more a warfare? It is, for we struggle with the opposition of the powers of darkness, and with many enemies who would keep us from God and heaven. Now it is requisite that a soldier is both stout-hearted and well armed. If followers are soldiers of Yeshua. 

They must see that they are stout-hearted. This is prescribed here: be strong in the Lord, &. Those who have such battles to fight, and who in their way to heaven, must dispute every pass, with the dint of sword, have need of a great deal of courage. Let a soldier be ever so well armed without, if he has not within a good heart, his armor will stand him in little stead. Note, spiritual strength and courage are essential for our spiritual warfare. Be strong in the Lord, either in his cause and for his sake or rather in his power. 

Jesse Penn Lewis (1861 – 1927) in her book “War on The Saints” on page 217 further describes the importance what Paul points out in Ephesians 6:12 who it is we really are battling with and how powerful and skilled they are as opponents. We need to recognize we are no match for this enemy when we step away from the leading of the Holy Spirit and Yeshua. I believe Ms. Lewis in her description of the enemy shows our weaknesses against them, however as well how to defeat them using the armor of God. This comes down to knowing your enemy as well your limitations and working with both to obtain victory. 

” The influence on the human spirit by evil spirits counterfeiting the Divine workings, or even the workings of the man himself, because he is out of co-working with the Holy Spirit, needs to be understood and detected by the believer who seeks to walk with God. He needs to know that because he is spiritual his “spirit” is open to two forces of the spiritual realm if he thinks that only the Holy Spirit can influence him in the spiritual sphere, he is sure to be misled. If it were so, he would become infallible, but he needs to watch and pray seek to have his eyes of understanding enlightened to know the actual workings of God

Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) re-enforces Ms. Lewis’s statements we have no power in ourselves “We have no sufficient strength of our own. Our natural courage is as perfect cowardice, and our natural strength as a perfect weakness but all our sufficiency is of God. We must fetch in grace and help from heaven to enable us to do that which of ourselves we cannot do, in our Christian work and warfare. 

To further understand what both are talking about Jesse Penn Lewis (1861 – 1927) in her book “War on The Saints” on page 218 ” gives us a description of some of our enemies tactics. She first states “ Some of the laws governing the spirit life may be summarized briefly as follows: 1). The believer must know what spirit, is and how to give heed to the demands of the spirit, and not quench it. 2). He should be able to read his spirit and know at once when it is out of cooperation with the HOLY SPIRIT, refusing all attacks which are drawing his spirit out of poise of fellowship with God. 3). He should know when his spirit is touched by the poison of the spirits of evil; by the injection, for instance, of sadness, soreness, complaint, grumbling, fault finding, touchiness, bitterness, feeling hurt, jealousy, etc. all direct from the enemy to the spirit. He should resist all sadness, gloom and grumbling injected into his spirit, for the victory life of a freed spirit means joyfulness (Gal.5:22). Believers think that sadness has to do with their disposition, and yield to it without a thought of resistance or reasoning out the cause. If they are asked if a man with a strong disposition to steal should yield to it, they would at once answer “no,” yet they yield to other dispositions” less manifestly wrong, without question. In the stress of conflict, when the believer finds that the enemy succeeds in reaching his spirit with any of these “fiery darts” he should know how to pray immediately against the attack asking God to destroy the cause of it. Note: that this touching of the spirit by the various things just named is not the manifestation of the “works of the flesh. When the believer is one who knows the life after the spirit; although they will quickly reach the sphere of the flesh if not recognized, and dealt with in sharp refusal and resistance. 4). He should know when his spirit is in the right position of dominance over soul and body, and yet not driven beyond due measure by the exigencies of conflict or environment. There are three conditions of the spirit which the believer should be able to discern and deal with, i.e., 1). The spirit depressed crushed or “down.” 2). the spirit in its right position in poise and calm control. 3). The spirit drawn out beyond “poise,” or in “flight.”  When the man walks after the spirit and discerns it to be in either of these conditions. He knows how to “lift” it when it is depressed; and how to check the over-action by a quiet act of his volition, when it is drawn out of poise by over-eagerness, or drive of spiritual foes.  

We have just had the foundation of how important putting on the whole armor of God is and some insight of how the enemy is going to attack us and the effectiveness of the armor. Also if you have the armor on and don’t have your walk in the right place otherwise a fervent heart for Yeshua, you might as well not put it on. So we need the whole outfit to withstand the wiles of the enemy and join the front line. Remember Jesse Penn Lewis advised we need to connect spiritually with Yeshua in Heaven. Well, Our enemies strive to prevent our spiritual ascent to heaven, to deprive us of those heavenly blessings and obstruct our communion with Yeshua. As the archangel, Michael contended with the devil over the body of Moses (Jude 1:9). We must recognize and deepen our faith to partake in our Spiritual Warfare as we grapple with our spiritual enemies. And have faith in our Christian work because we have the spiritual strength to fetch in. To recognize our danger and through God’s grace not yield to Satan Resist him and he will flee.  If in any way we distrust our cause or leader or the armor we give Satan the advantage. We must in all cases withstand his assaults stick it out to the end of the battle having done that as soldiers of Yeshua the warfare will be accomplished, and we shall be victorious.  To understand how to use the armor both offensive and defensive here is  Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) giving a description piece by piece ” The military girdle or belt, the breast plate the greaves ( or soldiers shoes), the shield, the helmet, and the sword. There is none for the back if we turn our back upon the enemy, we lie exposed. Truth or sincerity is our girdle (Ephesians 6:14). It was prophesied of Yeshua (Isaiah 11:5) that righteousness should be the girdle of his loins and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. That which Yeshua was girdled with all Christians must be girded with. God desires truth, that is, sincerity, in the inwards parts. Righteousness must be our breast-plate. The breast-plate secures the vitals, shelters the heart. The righteousness of Yeshua imputed to us is our breastplate against the arrows of divine wrath. It fortifies the heart against the attacks which Satan makes against us. The breastplate of faith and love include all Christian graces for by faith we are united to Yeshua and by love to our brethren. These will infer a diligent observance of our duty to God, and an honorable deportment towards men, in all the offices of justice, truth, and charity.  

Resolution must be the greaves to our legs. The preparation of the gospel of peace signifies a prepared and resolved frame of heart, to adhere to the doctrine and abide by it, which will enable us to walk with a steady pace in the way of religion, notwithstanding the difficulties and dangers that may be in it.  Faith must be our shield: above all, or chiefly taking the shield of faith (Eph 6:16). This more necessary than any of them. Faith is all in all to us in an hour of temptation. The breast-plate secures the vitals, but with the shield, we turn every way. This is the victory over the world, even our faith. We are to be fully persuaded of the truth of all God’s promises and threatenings, such as faith being of great use against temptations. Faith, as receiving Yeshua and the benefits of redemption, so deriving grace from him, is like a shield, a sort of stellar defense. Violent temptations, by which the soul is set on fire of hell, are the darts which Satan shoots at us. Faith is the shield with which we must quench these “fiery darts,” wherein we should receive them, and so render them ineffectual, that they may not hit us, or at least that they may not hurt us. Faith acted upon the word of God and applying that, acted upon the grace of Christ and improving that, quenches the darts of temptation. 

Salvation must be our helmet (Eph.6:17) that is, hope, which has salvation for its object so (1Thess.5:8). The helmet secures the head. A real hope of Salvation. Well-founded and well built, will both purify the soul and keep it from being defiled by Satan, and it will comfort the heart and keep it from being troubled and tormented by Satan. He would tempt us to despair, but real hope keeps us trusting in God, and rejoicing in Him.

The word of God is the Sword of the Spirit. The sword is a vital, and useful part of a soldier’s furniture. The Word of God is essential, and of great use to the Christian, to his maintaining the spiritual warfare and succeeding in it. It is called the sword of the Spirit because it is the Spirit’s inditing and he renders it efficacious and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword. Scripture arguments are the most persuasive arguments to repel temptation with. Christ himself resisted Satan’s temptations with, It is written, (Matt. 4:4,6,7,10). 

Prayer must buckle on all the other parts of our Christian armor, (Eph. 6:18) We must join prayer with all these graces, for our defense against these spiritual enemies, imploring help and assistance of God, as the cases require: and we must pray always.

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

Here, we have been shown how to take off the clothes of evil and replace them with the armor of God. These pieces of armor have come with very explicit instructions on how to wear them and how to use them once in place as well just how powerful they are. We also learned that if our hearts are not sincere, the armor is useless. Please recognize there is no middle ground you cannot be luke warm and remain on the narrow path to Life and Eternity. 

I realize there will be those who will read this either part way and fall into their own minds of believing the Worldly teachings God is Love and protects all of His children once they are born again and baptized. One thing they forget we are instructed to work out our Salvation daily, and there are no exceptions not even Apostles were exempt. Earlier I said there are many wounded and disabled Christians know this on your journey you will see them on the broad path waving their swords ineffectively but believing they are in the real battle. I say “cast your nets in their direction in the hope they will see the pure light and true freedom as they are fallen comrades needing guidance, correction, and help.  

Jesse Penn-Lewis (1861 – 1927) brings this warning to all no matter the length of time we have walked with our Lord if we are just having our eyes opened to the real spiritual world and the battles lying ahead, please recognize this is our most dangerous time. It is just here that the ignorance of the believer about (1). The spiritual world now opened to him, (2). The workings of evil powers in that realm, and (3). The conditions upon which God works in and through him gives the enemy his opportunity. It is the time of greatest peril for every believer, unless he is instructed and prepared, as the disciples were for three whole years by the Lord. The danger lies along the lines of supernatural “guidance,” through not knowing the condition of cooperation with the Holy Spirit, and how to discern the will of God.

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Father, it is with a humility I approach your throne with this prayer of thanksgiving and appreciation for your guidance and teachings through the Holy Spirit. I thank you, Father, for the knowledge you have bestowed upon us and the lifting of the veils of darkness from our eyes so we are to discern the evil in our lives and who our real enemy is. We thank you, Father,, for providing us with your armor to face our enemy with and the instructions of how to use those weapon’s to remain safe in your service. We thank you, Father, for the very life we have and those things which enhance our walk reflecting your light into the darkness allowing us to remain casting our nets as”Fisher’s of Men.” This I pray in the name of Yeshua. Amen and Amen. Member, I am just a humble servant bringing this to you as a messenger of Yeshua. God’s blessings and God’s Speed.

The spirit depressed crushed or “down.” 2). the spirit in its right position in poise and calm control. 3). The spirit drawn out beyond “poise,” or in “flight.”  When the man walks after the spirit and discerns it to be in either of these conditions. He knows how to “lift” it when it is depressed; and how to check the over-action by a quiet act of his volition, when it is drawn out of poise by over-eagerness, or drive of spiritual foes.  

We have just had the foundation of how important putting on the whole armor of God is and some insight of how the enemy is going to attack us and the effectiveness of the armor. Also if you have the armor on and don’t have your walk in the right place otherwise a fervent heart for Yeshua, you might as well not put it on. So we need the whole outfit to withstand the wiles of the enemy and join the front line. Remember Jesse Penn Lewis advised we need to connect spiritually with Yeshua in Heaven. Well, Our enemies strive to prevent our spiritual ascent to heaven, to deprive us of those heavenly blessings and obstruct our communion with Yeshua. As the archangel, Michael contended with the devil over the body of Moses (Jude 1:9). We must recognize and deepen our faith to partake in our Spiritual Warfare as we grapple with our spiritual enemies. And have faith in our Christian work because we have the spiritual strength to fetch in. To recognize our danger and through God’s grace not yield to Satan Resist him and he will flee.  If in any way we distrust our cause or leader or the armor we give Satan the advantage. We must in all cases withstand his assaults stick it out to the end of the battle having done that as soldiers of Yeshua the warfare will be accomplished, and we shall be victorious.  To understand how to use the armor both offensive and defensive here is  Matthew Henry (1662 – 1774) giving a description piece by piece ” The military girdle or belt, the breast plate the greaves ( or soldiers shoes), the shield, the helmet, and the sword. There is none for the back if we turn our back upon the enemy, we lie exposed. Truth or sincerity is our girdle (Ephesians 6:14). It was prophesied of Yeshua (Isaiah 11:5) that righteousness should be the girdle of his loins and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. That which Yeshua was girdled with all Christians must be girded with. God desires truth, that is, sincerity, in the inwards parts. Righteousness must be our breast-plate. The breast-plate secures the vitals, shelters the heart. The righteousness of Yeshua imputed to us is our breastplate against the arrows of divine wrath. It fortifies the heart against the attacks which Satan makes against us. The breastplate of faith and love include all Christian graces for by faith we are united to Yeshua and by love to our brethren. These will infer a diligent observance of our duty to God, and an honorable deportment towards men, in all the offices of justice, truth, and charity.  

Resolution must be the greaves to our legs. The preparation of the gospel of peace signifies a prepared and resolved frame of heart, to adhere to the doctrine and abide by it, which will enable us to walk with a steady pace in the way of religion, notwithstanding the difficulties and dangers that may be in it.  Faith must be our shield: above all, or chiefly taking the shield of faith (Eph 6:16). This more necessary than any of them. Faith is all in all to us in an hour of temptation. The breast-plate secures the vitals, but with the shield, we turn every way. This is the victory over the world, even our faith. We are to be fully persuaded of the truth of all God’s promises and threatenings, such as faith being of great use against temptations. Faith, as receiving Yeshua and the benefits of redemption, so deriving grace from him, is like a shield, a sort of stellar defense. Violent temptations, by which the soul is set on fire of hell, are the darts which Satan shoots at us. Faith is the shield with which we must quench these “fiery darts,” wherein we should receive them, and so render them ineffectual, that they may not hit us, or at least that they may not hurt us. Faith acted upon the word of God and applying that, acted upon the grace of Christ and improving that, quenches the darts of temptation. 

Salvation must be our helmet (Eph.6:17) that is, hope, which has salvation for its object so (1Thess.5:8). The helmet secures the head. A real hope of Salvation. Well-founded and well built, will both purify the soul and keep it from being defiled by Satan, and it will comfort the heart and keep it from being troubled and tormented by Satan. He would tempt us to despair, but real hope keeps us trusting in God, and rejoicing in Him.

The word of God is the Sword of the Spirit. The sword is a vital, and useful part of a soldier’s furniture. The Word of God is essential, and of great use to the Christian, to his maintaining the spiritual warfare and succeeding in it. It is called the sword of the Spirit because it is the Spirit’s inditing and he renders it efficacious and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword. Scripture arguments are the most persuasive arguments to repel temptation with. Christ himself resisted Satan’s temptations with, It is written, (Matt. 4:4,6,7,10). 

Prayer must buckle on all the other parts of our Christian armor, (Eph. 6:18) We must join prayer with all these graces, for our defense against these spiritual enemies, imploring help and assistance of God, as the cases require: and we must pray always.

CLOSING COMMENTS by Robert

Here, we have been shown how to take off the clothes of evil and replace them with the armor of God. These pieces of armor have come with very explicit instructions on how to wear them and how to use them once in place as well just how powerful they are. We also learned that if our hearts are not sincere, the armor is useless. Please recognize there is no middle ground you cannot be luke warm and remain on the narrow path to Life and Eternity. 

I realize there will be those who will read this either part way and fall into their own minds of believing the Worldly teachings God is Love and protects all of His children once they are born again and baptized. One thing they forget we are instructed to work out our Salvation daily, and there are no exceptions not even Apostles were exempt. Earlier I said there are many wounded and disabled Christians know this on your journey you will see them on the broad path waving their swords ineffectively but believing they are in the real battle. I say “cast your nets in their direction in the hope they will see the pure light and true freedom as they are fallen comrades needing guidance, correction, and help.  

Jesse Penn-Lewis (1861 – 1927) brings this warning to all no matter the length of time we have walked with our Lord if we are just having our eyes opened to the real spiritual world and the battles lying ahead, please recognize this is our most dangerous time. It is just here that the ignorance of the believer about (1). The spiritual world now opened to him, (2). The workings of evil powers in that realm, and (3). The conditions upon which God works in and through him gives the enemy his opportunity. It is the time of greatest peril for every believer, unless he is instructed and prepared, as the disciples were for three whole years by the Lord. The danger lies along the lines of supernatural “guidance,” through not knowing the condition of cooperation with the Holy Spirit, and how to discern the will of God.

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert

Father, it is with a humility I approach your throne with this prayer of thanksgiving and appreciation for your guidance and teachings through the Holy Spirit. I thank you, Father, for the knowledge you have bestowed upon us and the lifting of the veils of darkness from our eyes so we are to discern the evil in our lives and who our real enemy is. We thank you, Father,, for providing us with your armor to face our enemy with and the instructions of how to use those weapon’s to remain safe in your service. We thank you, Father, for the very life we have and those things which enhance our walk reflecting your light into the darkness allowing us to remain casting our nets as”Fisher’s of Men.” This I pray in the name of Yeshua. Amen and Amen. Member, I am just a humble servant bringing this to you as a messenger of Yeshua. God’s blessings and God’s Speed.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Matthew 24:42-43 

PRE-AMBLE by Robert

I am writing this article as a follower of Yeshua, not after any literary fashion but from the heart after meditation and fervent prayer, my answer I am about to put on paper is not in the spirit of judgment. The Lord has shown me the following question to share with all who would read hear and discern whether non-believer or follower of Yeshua, Jew or proclaimed Christian WHY DO YOU FOLLOW GOD, YESHUA? This sounding of the Trumpet is a spiritual audit for all and may the Lord bring discernment, understanding, and acceptance through it.

Yeshua has laid before me a question which appears as pure as possible yet when I am about to state my answer it becomes the most in-depth question I have ever faced. Initially, when I approach this issue, it appears to be one about my faith and obtaining salvation. I recognize and accept salvation comes to me through grace, hope, faith and my acceptance of Yeshua as my saviour and the only way to be in the presence of God. I recognize there are multitudes of gifts, crowns and all will be before the throne of God facing the final judgment. 

What I’m about to express is part of my answer of why I follow Yeshua and His teachings. When I study the scriptures, I see that God cannot nor will He have enmity in His presence.  So what I have surmised from the Scriptures is all will be judged. (Heb 10:12 – 23). 

Why is this important for all to know these days? What does this have to do with those who have accepted Yeshua and in hope and faith received Salvation? Why, would the Lord pose this question to all? Why would He have His Watchmen Sound their Trumpets, what is there to be warned about? 

OPENING PRAYER by Robert

Heavenly Father, thank you for searching the depth of our faith. I petition you Lord for wisdom to be upon those reading this article, lift them and deepen their discernment and understanding. Bring unto them a spirit of calm so any decision they make in respect to their spiritual walk and relationship with you Lord would be an informed one,  void of emotions and worldly desires. I ask Father for you to remove any cords and bindings causing confusion within their minds. So, they might receive all and any information the Holy Spirit, will reveal to be used as the foundation of their future spiritual decisions,  as they continue their journey. I pray this in your name in the name of Yeshua AMEN and AMEN.“ 

OPENING STATEMENT by Robert

When I first looked at this question, I quickly understood there was not going to be a right or wrong answer. And there would be millions of answers each being correct, as it would represent the personal feelings of each individual towards his walk with Yeshua. It became apparent what our Father was asking was personal yet He wanted it shared as a warning.

After taking the time to thoroughly look at this question, from a worldly perspective, clearly, it was a call to not become complacent in our walks, as followers and believers. Knowing non-believer’s would not understand this calling nor receive it unless those believers who heard the Trumpet would share and interpret it.   

The question takes on the point of view of how deep Faith is and how it becomes a part of our walk and believe it or not non-believers have a form of faith they hold onto it’s just channelled towards another way of understanding or accepting what they think and believe how God fits in their lives.

While ministering to a follower of our Lord who was [ I emphasize] suffering from a serious debilitating malady. The Lord revealed, why we do not always receive healings in the flesh. I have in earlier articles stated nothing happens in the flesh that it has not already occurred in the Spirit.

Thus if we desire through prayer for the Lord to heal us in the flesh and we pray for it through the flesh it will not happen, (James 4:3) Ye ask, and receive not because ye ask amiss that ye may consume it upon your lusts.  Being in the flesh, we have the following with us at all times Pride, Vanity, Luxury, and Sensuality.

These are the things being in the flesh will negate prayer, only, because we do not recognize them as part of our lives or simply believe they are a part of our personality. So realizing that even with Salvation for the Lord to operate fully in my life I need to develop and deepen my Faith. 

Knowing my walk now must be in the spirit and not after the flesh, which is Pride, Vanity, Luxury, and Sensuality. These would be what I would be serving if Yeshua healed me through the flesh. 

Then my awareness of having Yeshua in my life through hope and exercising Faith and accepting Yeshua as my Saviour allowed me to obtain Salvation, but nothing further at that time.

What the Lord revealed when asking “WHY DO YOU FOLLOW  GOD, and HIS SON YESHUA,” was, I should be observing the depth of my faith and what am I doing to deepen it or more so strengthen it, as well learning how to use it without a doubt.

Yeshua desires his followers to audit how many dependencies are they placing on Pride, Vanity, Luxury, and Sensuality as we further our walk without recognizing, sensing or realizing these are what we are relying and depending on.

CLOSING PRAYER by Robert 

Father in heaven, in placing this petition before your throne, through the new heart you have given us. We are grieved and saddened, many are not hearing your words. We are brought to tears, Lord, seeing so many will face you in Eternity and will suffer a second death. We are now asking Father for more profound knowledge, a greater desire to continue sharing and warning. “Oh,” Lord, fill us with more of your compassion, determination, and understanding of your Grace. We plead Lord for your Grace and Patience to continue, while you have the Holy Spirit instructing us on how to use your parables and sayings to bring forward your love and forgiveness. In all of this Lord, we ask that in our desire to serve, it be only in your will, Father. This we pray in your name Yeshua, Amen, and Amen.

CLOSING STATEMENT by Robert

 The following is my answer to the question and I believe they are the most accurate assessment I can share, “why”, I follow Yeshua. As Bunnie Marie (my wife of 28 years) and I go through the scriptures sharing our findings, discernments, and interpretations. We recognize Faith has become the most important item in our walk and quest to deepen and draw closer to “Yeshua.”

So to understand how deep our walk was becoming, I needed to seriously look at whether I had just taken faith for granted. Because we had hope and faith and received Salvation, and the Lord changing our walk and deepening our seeking after Yeshua, so were we thinking our faith was automatically going to deepen. 

What I quickly realized was the desire I had developed in the early stages of my walk to draw closer to Yeshua, however,  I hadn’t actually taken the time to develop a way of knowing how deep my faith was while drawing closer. Remember I was assuming it would automatically deepen and grow. As I looked at answering this question I realized there was still a dependency on the faith which drew me into following Yeshua, which is not wrong just not deep enough. 

But there was no depth to it as it stood it was strong and permanently in place, however, if I was called to actually rely on my faith as Peter did when he stepped from the boat to walk on water when Yeshua called him. Would I even be able to do as Peter did until he doubted and sank? You see Peter’s faith when he stepped out of the boat was deep and without doubt initially, then he realized what he was doing and sunk. Even Peter didn’t know how deep his faith had become while following and learning from Yeshua and what profound effect it had on him and his faith.

Yeshua, by calling on Peter to walk over to him on the water was demonstrating how powerful, personal faith, can be without a doubt, once we learn to exercise and accept it as such. 

When we take for granted, where our walk is, and where we believe it to be headed, unless we stop and answer “WHY DO YOU FOLLOW GOD, and YESHUA” we may never see realize or understand the true depth of and about our faith and its effect on our walk.

I ponder how Yeshua endured what he did while walking this earth and did so as an example of what it is going to take for us to truly follow in His footsteps. Our times are perilous and becoming even more so with the political and religious carrying on occurring. None of us should take for granted what may transpire in the very near future and begin measuring whether you have the depth of faith to step out onto the water as Peter did and walk towards our Father or heed His call to us for whatever matter. 

 We can Verbalize our faith and believe in our minds there is no doubt or fear but until we truly are tested, and measured, will we know. What I am trying to understand, is how our Lord while walking through the crowds knowing there were some who hated him and what he stood for. I see Him in my mind, Yeshua, walking peacefully exercising His faith, knowing His Father was with Him, protecting Him guiding Him.

It is here, I recognize how to deepen my faith, learn when and why to use it, without a doubt, knowing that in all things I do are in the Spirit, through Yeshua. As Yeshua knew His Father, was working through His flesh, so will He do through our flesh!

Remember I stated nothing happens in the flesh that has not already occurred in the Spirit. This principle applies to all things Spiritually in our lives. So like Peter we need to step out onto the water in faith without a doubt and begin walking without a doubt in our Faith, knowing, Yeshua is with us in all things. 

Why is the Lord asking us to do an audit on our Faith drawing us into searching our walks? Teaching us how to deepen our understanding of how to use that faith no matter how deep our walk is or will become. Why is He including non-believers in this sounding of the TRUMPETERS horn, what is it He is preparing all for? 

“ALL HEAR THE SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET!”

 The times are perilous, and the clouds of deception have become darker deeper and carrying greater craftiness, cunningness, deceitfulness, fakery and wiliness. They are going to trap and ensnare, those who are not prepared to battle, within the spirit, who do not or have not prepared themselves to walk in Faith without a doubt that Yeshua is working through their flesh to guide and protect. There will be many who will begin a good fight but like Peter when doubt enters will succumb to the evil presented to them. Know ye this all are going to be tested in their faith no matter what form believer or non-believer. 

HERE ENDS THE TRUMPET’S SOUNDING!

I pray all will hear prepare and share, as there is a great “Spiritual Battle” developing to occur in the very near future. This evil is not taking prisoners and is the foulest our time has ever seen showing no mercy. 

HEAVENLY FATHER I come before you as a humble servant and petition you Father to rain discernment unto all in this world that they would know and understand what is about to rain down on them Spiritually. Show them Father as in the days of Noah where they were dancing and partying what is about to befall them. I pray this in your name Lord in the name of Yeshua. Amen and Amen.

For what it is worth, I am communicating this preparatory information as a call to arms for those in the “Advanced Guard.”   Please note, most followers will not recognize this danger, until it is possibly too late. Brothers and Sisters in Yeshua this is our calling as the “Advance Guard” to bring this call show our brothers and sisters not take this lightly, heed it do their audit, to know the depth of their faith, as it is going to be spiritually tested, the evil is going to manifest itself physically against you and them. Whether they believe it or not and I pray you and they will hear acknowledge and move forward in prayer, discernment and understanding as the guard, not the 500.

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