WATCHMAN: FAITH HAS NO PLAN B…

Matthew 8:1-3 (NIV) 1When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 3Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. The Jews lumped all types of skin diseases under one category. God had given Moses specific instruction about quarantining those who had skin disease. They were to live apart from others. If anyone approached them they had to warn them by shouting, “Unclean!”. To touch a person that had a skin disease required the one who touched them to go through a cleansing ritual to see if they had contracted the disease. This man’s disease must have been quite obvious. He…

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: The Journey Is Full of Trials. Those Trials Cause Grief, but They Also Accomplish a Purpose. They Prove Our Faith, Like Precious Metal Is Purified by Fire. They Burn out the Impurities of Our Worldly Ideas and Misguided Doctrines

1 Peter 1:6-8 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, Peter is discussing the paradox of the Christian life. We have a promising future awaiting us. The strength of the divine is sustaining us until we reach our destination. He mentions that this leads to great rejoicing. If you’re not filled with joy, you may not have fully…

Judges 14:4 4 His father and mother did not know that it was from the LORD, for he was seeking an opportunity against the Philistines. At that time the Philistines ruled over Israel. Samson experienced a situation that is all too common today: “lust at first sight.” Even though God had given Samson a wonderful skill, he was unable to control his emotions. The story begins with him asking his father to arrange a marriage for a Philistine woman he spotted. The father begs him to pick a wife from his own people, but Samson insists on the Philistine woman since she is attractive in his eyes. I’d call this idolatry. He believed that a specific form would provide him satisfaction. Woman after woman, Samson never seemed to realize that true beauty is found within. However, as our text today…

Watchman’s Daily Devotional

Leviticus 6:5-6 states that if a person fraudulently swears about something, they must refund it in full, add a fifth, and return it to the rightful owner on the day they recognize their mistake. 6 And he shall bring to the priest as recompense to the LORD a ram without blemish from the flock, or its equal as a guilt offering. Leviticus is a book of regulations governing worship and social order. The law we’ll look at today concerns theft. If someone took a deposit, secured something for someone, discovered something that belonged to someone else, or simply stole something and then lied about it in order to profit financially, there was a law in place to govern how they should recompense the victim. The individual in the wrong may have been discovered, or they may have elected to make…

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: At Times, God Employs the Most Unlikely Individuals to Ensure That People Acknowledge His Divine Intervention.

By SRH, Judges 6:24 24 Then Gideon constructed an altar in that place dedicated to the LORD, naming it The LORD Is Peace. Even now, it remains in Ophrah, a place that is owned by the Abiezrites. A divine presence manifested itself to Gideon, entrusting him with the responsibility of guiding his people in a battle against the Midianites. Gideon wondered, “Why me?” He mentioned that his clan was considered the most vulnerable within the tribe, and he considered himself to be the least significant member of his family. Perhaps there was a mistake made by a higher power. He was assured of divine presence, as the LORD promised, “I will be by your side!” That truly changes everything. There is a prevailing belief that the presence of God and the support of even one person can greatly influence any…

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: The Language Employed by God to Describe Their Unfaithfulness Is Powerful, Labeling It as “Whoredom.” They Had Vowed to Love God Wholeheartedly.

17 However, they disregarded the advice of their judges and Whored themselves before other gods. They quickly strayed from the path taken by their fathers, who had walked in obedience to the LORD’s commands, but they chose not to do so. The following generation turned to idols after Joshua and the elders of his generation passed away because they were blind to everything that God had done for them. God appointed leaders to be judges. These men and women were well-respected for their wisdom and discernment. They arbitrated conflicts between individuals and led the troops into combat. God speaks of their transgressions as instructional, or as “whored.” They made a vow to love God above all else. The country looked up to him like a husband. If they followed His excellent laws, He would take care of them and protect…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Every Challenge in Life Is a Test to Discover if We Will Face It With Faith or Skepticism. Falling Into the Lake Was the Last Thing Peter Wanted to Do, but the Distraction of the Physical Caused Him to Do Just That

Matthew 14:31-33 (NIV) 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” While Jesus walked up the mountain to pray, He dispatched the disciples ahead. They rowed against the wind, which prevented them from crossing the lake. During the last few hours before dawn, Jesus appeared to them, walking on the lake. The Jews called the lake’s depths the Abyss. They were terrified to see a figure walking on the water, but Jesus explained who He was and that they need not be afraid. (Job 9:8) Peter requested to meet Jesus on the lake. He was invited to come…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, When You Are Yoked With Jesus, You Will Discover That God Has Everything Under Control. Jesus Teaches Us to Have Faith in the Father and to Follow His Leading. When We Do This, Everything Works Out in the End

Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) 28″ Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Have you had enough of life? Tired of attempting to do everything? Tired of attempting to satisfy God, feed your family, assist a friend, and attend to the million tiny demanding details that life can throw at you? Come to Jesus! He will provide you with rest. Take up His yoke and learn from Him. Yokes are typically used for tandem pairs of oxen. Juvenile oxen would frequently plow alongside more seasoned ones. Consider what it would be like to grow up with…

Watchman’s Daily Devotional: Peter and Jude Clearly Laid Out the Marks of False Teachers: Which Are Sensuality, Greed, and Pride (Jude 10,1137; 2 Peter 2:1438). They Are the Same Today

To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’ Revelation 2:17b The conqueror or overcomer, the meanings are the same, is the one who will hear and obey what the Spirit says. We yield to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and change our ways. We persist in what has been commended. When we refuse to hear, it is rebellion against our Creator and Sustainer. That is to declare our self to be Lord. It is the pride that caused Lucifer to fall (Isaiah 14:1340). It ensures that God will resist you, for He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (James 4:641). “Where is the line that…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, The Great Tribulation Referred to in the New Testament Book of Revelation (chapters 6-11) is Unfolding Before Our Eyes, Get Prepared!

If You Read the Book of Revelation, Even in a Cursory Fashion, the “World Population” Will Be Diminished Greatly During the Tribulation… There Are Multiple Verses That Speak to the Death of Mankind American health care, as we call it today, and for all its high-tech miracles, has evolved into one of the most atrocious rackets the world has ever seen. By racket, I mean an enterprise organized explicitly to make money dishonestly. All the official reassurances won’t be worth a bucket of warm spit. The Globals are behind the Corona-virus, It Is a Man-Made Bioweapon. Reprobate and “rejected” are the same word here. Webster’s dictionary defines this word as “not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fitness; disallowed; rejected.” “When the History of This Madness is Written, Reputations Will Be Slaughtered and There Will Be Blood…
