“Forgive Us Our Debts” (Matt. 6:12). Believers Confess Their Sins; Unbelievers Satan Soldiers Deny Theirs
Believers in Christ have a hard time dealing with sin. You probably weren’t surprised to hear that. Sin becomes less of a problem, but you become more aware of it as you grow in Christ. This does not make you more susceptible to temptation; rather, it makes you more cognizant of the subtle ways in which sin dishonors God. Some people think you should never confess your sins or seek forgiveness, but the Lord instructed us to do so when He said for us to pray, “Forgive us our debts” (Matt. 6:12). That’s the believer’s prayer for the Father’s forgiveness. John said, “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us […]
Watchman’s Daily Devotional: When Jesus Finally Came, Israel Was in a Dire Spiritual State. The Jewish Nation Was Enslaved by the Burdensome Legalism of the Pharisees, Who Had Established a Set of Laws That No One Could Fulfill. Does This Ring a Bell?
The people were filled with uncertainty, seeking a deliverer to bring them peace and freedom from their sins. They were aware of God’s promise of a savior who would forgive their transgressions and purify their souls (Ezek. 36:25-27), yet they were unsure of His arrival and how to recognize Him. The overwhelming response to John the Baptist’s preaching reflects the anticipation among the people. Matthew 3:5-6 tells us, “Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and all Judea, and all the district around the Jordan; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.” The burning question on everyone’s mind was, “How can I enter the kingdom of heaven?” Jesus Himself was approached with this question in various forms. In Luke 10:25, a lawyer inquires, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” […]
Watchman: If the Holy Spirit Were to Bring Conviction to Our Country, What Might That Look Like? What if for a Month Everything Came to a Halt—Stores Closed, Entertainment Ceased—as People Cried Themselves to the Ground Over the Hardness of Their Hearts and the Falling State of the Nation?
The impact of the Second Coming on each of our individual lives will be determined by the state of our faith in Jesus. How each nation interacts with God will determine how they are judged. Our hope rests in God’s pity. We pray that our efforts will help us shine more light on a country that is descending into darkness. The Holy Spirit equips us with the ability to answer thoughtfully and respectfully any question about the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15). There are those who believe we have stumbled too far and wasted our second chance. That said, historical accounts of revivals paint a similar picture. Truthfully, only God can provide it. However, I believe that you and I can always pray earnestly to the Lord while we are still alive and ask Him to give […]
Watchman: Daily Devotional, Mayhem: End-Time Demonic Activities, Watchman: “A Large Scale False Flag Cyber-Attack Is Now Imminent.” Find Solace in Christ
Satan’s Synagogue atop the New World Order The evil Empire of Secret Societies’ relentless and tragic climb to supremacy has led mankind to the point in its history when practically every person in the highest positions is a member of Secret Societies. There are only two historical perspectives: one in which everything happens by coincidence and the other in which everything happens on purpose. The first is held by the ignorant, dumb, and liars, whereas the second is held by the smart. History is constructed on purpose, not by happenstance. Two public personalities separated by time realized this. “Nothing happens by chance in politics,” said Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1955), the 32nd President of the United States. If anything happens, you can bet it was designed that way.” “The world is run by people who are extremely different from those who […]
Watchman: Daily Devotional, Jesus Warned Us to Be Wary of False Prophets. Many People Claim to Have Received a Divine Message. They Are Difficult to Notice From the Outside. The’Sheep’s Clothes’ Frequently Leads Us to Believe They Are One of God’s Children
Matthew 7:15-16 15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Jesus warned us to be wary of false prophets. Many people claim to have received a divine message. They are difficult to notice from the outside. The’sheep’s clothes’ frequently leads us to believe they are one of God’s children. However, the outside and inside are completely different. Most people recognize someone who yells and screams and condemns everyone as being off track, but what about those who appear to be kind and meek? How are we expected to recognize them? The leaf is one technique to identify a plant, however even this method is susceptible to error. Many of the leaves are […]
Watchman: Daily Devotional, An Invasion of Demons (Transhumans) Is Coming in the Last Days, Satan, Who Leads the Whole World Astray
Revelation 9:4 says, “They’re commanded not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing of any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” Third thing I want to say about demons, and I’m done, demons flee at the name of Jesus Christ. They flee at the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us in Philippians 2 at the name of Jesus Christ, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess of things in the earth and things under the earth that Jesus Christ is the Lord to the glory of God the Father.” According to Revelation 12:9, “that great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the Devil.or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.”He and his angels were thrown to the ground.”As a result, […]
Watchman’s Daily Devotional: Scripture Shows That Those Whom God Blessed Most Abundantly Were Abundantly Merciful to Others
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy” (Matt. 5:7). God commends merciful people but condemns the merciless. The teachings in Scripture reveal that those who received great blessings from God also demonstrated great mercy towards others. Abraham, for instance, selflessly aided his nephew Lot, despite the previous conflict between them. Joseph showed compassion towards his brothers despite the betrayal they had inflicted upon him. On two occasions, David showed remarkable mercy by sparing Saul’s life, despite Saul’s attempts to take his own. Just as certain as the divine approval for those who display mercy, there is divine disapproval for those who lack mercy. In Psalm 109:14-16, it is written that the actions of the merciless person’s ancestors should be brought to the attention of the Lord. The sin of the person’s mother should not be forgotten, as they […]
Watchman: Daily Devotional, He Will Allow Pestilence,Plagues That, in the End, Will Be for Our Good, if We Will Heed the Message in Them
Exodus 12:37-38 37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 38 Many other people went up with them, as well as large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. Archaeologists have discovered Hebrew homes from this historical period in the neighborhood of what was once Rameses, where the Israelites dwelt. Never forget that you are reading true stories as well as God’s hand on human history, revealing Himself to anyone who will look. One plague after another descended on the Egyptian gods, but God spared the Children of Israel. With each plague, God demonstrated the truth to the Egyptian people. If favors (Joseph and the Pharaoh’s dreams) do not bring us to Him, He will allow plagues that, in the end, will be for our advantage if […]
Watchman Daily Devotional: A Great Number in the Body of Christ Live Under the Threat of Persecution. We Should Remember Them in Our Prayers and Do What We Can to Assist Them as if We Were There Among Them
Hebrews 13:3-5, 8 3 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. 4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. The New Testament letters often conclude with concise instructions, and this is true for the book of Hebrews. I have selected a few of these instructions, and they are all valuable and worthy of our attention. In the body of Christ, there are many who face persecution and […]
Watchman: Daily Devotional, Woe to Those Who Call Evil Good and Good Evil, Who Put Darkness for Light and Light for Darkness, Who Put Bitter for Sweet and Sweet for Bitter!
HNewsWire: It seems that, over time, our society has reached a conclusion: There is no right or wrong, good or evil. Truth is based on one’s own opinions and preferences, and it can be adapted according to certain situations. But those of us in Christ know that, without placing our faith in the absolute truth of the gospel, we will not have a solid foundation on which to stand. As long as our principles are rooted and grounded in God’s Word, we are saved from potential destruction that can be reaped from sinful lifestyles. So how can we keep our principles and values from slowly morphing into that of the world’s? And what did the prophet mean in Isaiah 5:20 when he wrote: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil”? What Is the Context of Isaiah 5:20 and ‘Woe to Those Who Call Evil Good […]
