Watchman: Daily Devotional, It’s Better to Confront Danger Beside the Lord Than to Run and Hide From It

Devotional: Acts 9:1-20 How risk-averse or daring are you while making decisions? Because of the potential for loss or other unfavorable outcomes, many Christians avoid taking risks. The elimination of risks makes intuitive sense from a human perspective. Uncertainty, however, is a normal aspect of the Christian life of faith. Obedience may seem hazardous to us, but God sees no such thing since He is in complete charge of everything and will use it for His good. In the Bible, we read of actual individuals who trusted God even when faced with the unexpected. Ananias is one of them; he is a disciple whom God has sent to help the freshly converted Saul. By paying a visit to this well-known antichrist, Ananias put his life in danger. After his conversion, Saul too faced danger on a daily basis as he diligently…

IF SAVED BY GRACE IT CAN NOT BE BY WORKS!- Rom.11

As in all of Paul’s letters, here too he is emphasizing that salvation is by grace and not by works. Doing so because the flesh naturally gravitates toward works when trying to attain anything. So the problem with the flesh is that it works to attain what it wants. And not that it is evil in and of itself as so many falsely proclaim. And this works oriented nature is why Paul says in Rom.8 the flesh is at enmity with the spirit. And why in Rom.9 Paul cites where God said Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated to illustrate this enmity. So in vs.1 what causes Paul to ask whether God has forsaken Israel in the first few verses of this chapter? It is because he is following up on what he said in ch 10.…

Watchman Says Once the Events of the End Times Begin, They Will Happen Quickly During the Tribulation Period, The World Will Be Ruled by a Godless Man Presiding Over an Evil Governmental System

Update 3/11/24: The Coming War of Gog and Magog The passage in Ezekiel 38 through 39 details an imminent invasion of Israel by a significant coalition of neighboring nations. Considering the current news and conflicts in the Middle East, it’s fascinating to think about how ancient prophecies might be coming to pass. In Ezekiel 36–37, a prophecy discusses the gathering of the Jewish people to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by a major invasion. For almost 2000 years, the Jewish people were scattered around the world, and it was only on May 14, 1948, that Israel was established as a nation. With the nation of Israel now established, the stage appears to be prepared for a significant conflict that will mark the beginning of a period of turmoil and the emergence of a powerful figure—a conflict that…

Watchman: The Antichrist Spirit Has Begun to Move, the Rule of Law Has Collapsed

HNewsWire: The AntiChrist Will Make His Appearance Soon, The World Stage Has Made Preparations He will be strong-willed and reckless in his determination to have his way. He will show contempt for human traditions and will, of course, change even the calendar so that it will no longer be related to the birth of Jesus (Daniel 7:25). The Word of God Is Quick and Powerful, Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword, the Word of God Has Been Subject to Almost Continuous Attack by Its Enemies, (the Un-goldy ) but they have not been able to censor or destroy it. “The Word of God is quick, and 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.”—Heb.…

WE DO NOT IMPUTE SIN WHEN WE LOVE AS GOD DOES

Edward O’Hara Do you believe that God is love as John says in 1John4:7,8? And that because He is love He loves just as He instructs His children to? If you do then you must also believe that His forgiveness is given as freely as He tells us to forgive. Because to forgive is an expression of His love. That He does not hold trespasses against us just as He instructs us not to hold them against one another. The reason I ask is, if we have believed that God is only able to express His love for us because His requirement of a penalty being paid for our offenses has been met by the torturous and bloody death of Christ as so many teach, then to love as God does shouldn’t we require the same “pound of flesh” God did,…

THE GARDEN- ISOLATION? OR OPPORTUNITY?

By Edward O’HARA When God placed Adam in the garden did He tell him he was to live only in the garden? Were there boundaries for the garden that he was not to pass? Is there any place in the Bible that says Adam had to stay in the garden when God placed him there? Or was Adam able to go anywhere in the earth he chose? Is there in the Genesis account, or anywhere else in the Bible, anything that tells us that Adam had access to the whole earth? The answer is yes. Because in Gen.1:29 God told Adam and Eve they were to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. He said, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl…

THE BELIEVER’S GUIDE FOR SHARING GOD’S LOVE WITH THE WORLD

Edward O’Hara In witnessing to the unbelieving world we can come to know how to read the Bible for all it’s worth. And how to take what we read and apply it to our witness when we are trying to help someone understand their need for Jesus. And how that when we do all of this we learn that it is not about bringing them under the condemnation of the devil by telling them that they are guilty before God for anything they or someone else may have done. Because Paul taught that it is the goodness of God, not severity, that leads a man to repentance. To do this, 1st We need to understand that it is because Adam was natural, not spiritual when God made him that creates our need for Jesus. “And so it is written, The first man Adam…

HOW THE “MYSTERY HID FROM ALL AGES PAST” TELLS US WHEN THE CHURCH WILL BE “CAUGHT UP”

Edward O’Hara Did you know that Paul’s teaching that he calls “the mystery that was hidden from ages past” in Col.1 speaks of the church leaving this place for heaven? We can only see this when we understand correctly who the “he who withholds” is that Paul says holds back “the man of sin” so he will be revealed “in his time” in 2Thes.2:6-9. This is a clue to the timing of the “caught up” that is our blessed hope. Because only in this dispensation do men have the indwelling Holy Spirit. So when that is to be no more then the rapture happens. When we add to this the message in John16:7-11 where Jesus told the disciples He had to leave or the Holy Spirit could not come we see another clue to this timing. It is from this message, coupled…

HOW IS THE LAW SPIRITUAL? AND WHO IS CARNAL, SOLD UNDER SIN? FIND OUT IN THIS STUDY OF ROM.7:14

By Edward O’Hara, Many people have difficulty understanding how the law is both spiritual and temporal. In this study we will see why this is true. And how this spiritual law is a ministration of death and condemnation. A “spiritual law” that can never give life. Rom.7- 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. To understand this passage correctly is to recognize first and foremost the context in which it is written. This is discovered by reading what was said before, that led up to this. We see this when we read Paul using “For” at the beginning of each of these statements. For having the meaning…
