The Wait And The Reward

Patience is a virtue and it is learned in the trial.
No prayer needed and experienced in due time.
Rebuke, tribulation, need, distress and righteousness, godliness, faith, love, gentleness.

HELLO? Strength for endurance, the wait and the reward!

Step By Step IV 'Watchman On The Wall'

Watchman On The Wall

NKJV Jer. 20:9 Then I said, "I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name." But [His word] was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding [it] back, And I could not.

In Direction one finds themselves in Strange and Uncomfortable Places. At this time & place I need to reiterate my main calling and commission, (more for those that think I have set it aside) because of the passion I have for this current Direction.

Allow me to say, “If you do not know Jesus God’s Anointed as your Savior, you are on your way to hell. Any questions, please add comment.”

Now to the direction at hand, before my bones burst into flames! But first to another Parentheses.

(This AM I was given Ezekiel 33:1-6;)

I have this ongoing pressing need to wake up the Americans from the brain numbing of continual blasting from TV. (Regardless of the venue) To express their manhood relating to the {Roman} ‘Sports Coliseum’ Productions and do not want to know what is “Really Going On”, because they do not want to deal with it. To Continue With The Bluntness: WAKE UP AMERICA!

Tho, not able to put my finger on it at first, the last few days I know that I have been Placed On The Wall, As A Watchman. This is what HE has said to me:

1. Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

So many times in the last 31 years I hear believers spout out without any understanding of what it means to be a ‘False Prophet, “The Lord told me … (What ever was their fancy at the time.)” Nevertheless, Every time I have been spoken to, it has not been something that I want to do and I find myself relating to Jonah. Then reluctantly not wanting to find myself in some kind of ‘Great Fish’, I find that ‘Obedience is (Far) better than sacrifice’! (1Sm 15:22;)

2. "Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: 'When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman,

If you find yourself reading this far, then you have made me your watchman.

3. when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,

Let me just say, “The United States is not mentioned in Scripture. Nevertheless, I see ‘The Sword’ upon us & Pray I am not too late!”

4. then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

To begin with, I find myself aching for my family & friends who I love so much, who deliberately have placed ‘Trumpet Numbing Plugs’ in their ears.

Next are the believers who, either believe that they will be taken out, before anything happens (Just ask the Christians in Germany, China, the Middle East and most of Africa how come they suffered so much at the hand of other men!) or that The Holy Spirit will direct them, should danger approach. (Balaam did not hear God speak to him thru his ass.) {I have been called worse than that.}

And I have a compassion for all Americans whether believers or not to know what is going on, so they at least have a choice to prepare or not.

Now to all of you, (Regardless of the group you find yourself in) … Do your due diligence and research these things that have been put before you. You may find that with that responsibility, (That of knowing) you are a watchman for those you love and care for.

5. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life.

Here is where we all have the opportunity to choose! Weigh it carefully.

6. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.'

Here is a place that looks like I have fulfilled my Direction and should you choose not to do your due diligence, I am satisfied.

As I continue I will decribe ‘The Sword’ as I see it for those who seem to hear a trumpet sound even in the distance and want to study the melody.

Be Blessed, ‘Loved of the LORD’ (i.e. all 3 groups Because HE Does!) at what HE has you doing. DrDP

Back To Things At Hand! ~ Happy New Years!

2009 = Mighty Fine!

'Out The Gate', allow me 2 apologize for my Laxity in keeping current!

Now that done, (Honestly!) want 2 wish You, (Especially You Who Visit And Pray For This Won {1} Preacher) A Very Prosperous, Plentiful and Pleasant New Years!

I believe (To Be Knowing!) that 2009 Will Be Mighty Fine! Just being able to think this to begin with and of course to be able to say this out loud to everyone in my path, makes it even more so. Another Factor is Luke 11:34-36. See Filters.

Since the last post, I have been many different places on line and in 'The Here & Now' and have visited places that I would not have ventured in the near past. No not any 'Houses Of Ill Repute', as yet, though those of the 'First Group' might look upon them the same way. IYKWIM? In fact I have not ruled out those 'HOIR' altogether and would be obedient thus Directed! Another Sermon for another day!

The important thing to elaborate on, is that I see people searching for enlightenment for &/or to their Personal Spiritual Journey.

To offer help in these cases from my established perspective, would initially have them run for cover. So I am on my own ... trek ... quest ... to approach these souls in (At least from my perspective.) the dilemma they have at hand, in order to have the peace and assurance to rest in the promised revelation and peace I have come to know and be assured of.

All of this of course, is to remain true to my 'Given Theme': To be Making A Difference And Helping Other People Reach Their Goals!

Several have reported that they embrace 'The JESUS or Christ Concept', yet only along the several other paths they are traveling on. Many at the same time expressed that 'All Roads' lead to God, not realizing that only one to The Bema Seat and the rest to 'The Great White Throne Of Judgment'.

Now before I move on to the next 'Thought', as you swing by and partake, the 'Creative Juices' you have been given, may hone in on an angle &/or even an empirical experience that may help me on my way. Jump in and get your feet wet, as the water is fine and leave a comment.

I have never been fond of the money changers etc in the Temple that are legitimatized by calling them "The Book Store, The Coffee/Snack Bar, Etc.", though have had to give them more room then I have in the past.

Nor have I come right out and asked God for money, to publish the portion HE has given to me. With that let me invite you to come into my 'Coffee shop / Book store' and peruse some of the other things I enjoy doing.

Again, as I post these links, feel free to comment on your Thoughts about me doing this. Here are some to start with:

Food for Thought! ~Skepticism~ ‘The Good The Bad And the Responsible’

Food for Thought! ~Skepticism~

Have you ever stopped long enough, to evaluate all … well maybe not all, as that would take to long, the negative, … well what each one of us would catalog as negative, … things that happen around us, ‘Day In & Day Out’? I bet you were wondering if I was EVER gonna get that thought out!

Allow me to hone in on “Skepticism” today and go ahead and run with it, so when I bring this thought to it’s culmination, you will already be there with whether you agree or not.

New Innovations normally come up against skepticism inasmuch as, they contravene personal and/or social credence. Established beliefs are so compelling and forceful, that wars are and will be fought over them. They become the foundational base for philosophies, psychology, political systems and even medical concepts to develop. Some own their own Memorials. Sometimes they are only imaginary tales and are not even true. We just hope and think that they are.

Nevertheless, for a moment, let us look at ‘The Good’ that is derived from some of it! Skepticism to new innovations, are usually resistance to change. Including, "it's too good to be true" attitude... or "That sounds too Spooky" or anything that resembles that... This is healthy and normally to be expected. New concepts should always be scrutinized rigorously. It will make them stronger in the over all, should they prevail.

When one possesses a major development that is founded on the most convincing of known axioms, being different to traditional understandings will always and expectantly be met with skepticism.

Here are a few quotes to make this point:

"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power
of the atom." Robert Milikan, Nobel Laureate in
Physics, 1923

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
Lord Kelvin, President Royal Society

"Sensible and responsible women do not want to
vote." Grover Cleveland, 1905

"Who the heck wants to hear actors talk?" Harry M.
Warner, Warner Brothers Pictures, 1927

"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
Charles H. Duell, Director of U.S. Patent Office, 1899

Now ‘The Bad’!
We may as well start here with my standard Response:
"You can always tell a skeptic, BUT you cannot tell them much!" There are many more and no doubt you may come up with a few yourself. Let that suffice, as I would like to get on to the main reason that I have been giving this so much thought.

As I am being blessed, with being ‘more’ knowledgeable, it in itself makes me ‘more’ aware to be ‘more’ “Responsible”. To many times in the past, I have just passed on by an opportunity to make a difference, because my intolerance to skepticism. Almost a case of ‘The Pot Calling The Kettle Black’!

Having studied ‘Skepticism’ to this degree allows me to back up an not Write the Skeptic Off and leave another opportunity to minister to them at another time, with many of the times with the very innovation that they would not have no part of before.

Now IT IS your turn! Tell me where you believe that I am wrong … or maybe you were already there, waiting on me to get my head screwed on right. Talk to me and continue to be Blessed, 1 aka DP

~Food for Thought !~ Perry The Peacock~

What about ‘ol’ Perry The Peacock and the ordeals that one with a positive attitude has to deal with, when confronting a stagnant status quo mindset? A lot of issues are evaluated here and sometimes one with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, who is creative and has imagination to see opportnities is some what accepted for a season. Even a temporary partnership, seems to have a potential of co-opporative development.

B U T ! As soon as the status quo is made uncomfortable for any reason, trouble will appear. Trying to get conformity will rob all the positive aspects from any creative individual. CHANGE is always uncomfortable!

The creative individual is sad, to disappointed that there seems to be no way to break through the staus quo into bigger and better innovations.

Anyplace in the world can be “The Land Of Opportunity” depending on one’s perspective and those who are their associates.

Let me give you Scripture to confirm this last perspective:
Luk 11:34
"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
Luk 11:35
"Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.
Luk 11:36
"If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

Also see: Mat 6:21-23

For some reason there will always be those, whose glass is only half full. Regardless of what side the get up from, it is the wrong side of the bed.

Not that I am all the way there as yet, But my glass is over half full, in fact, “I am drinking from the saucer, because my cup runneth over!”

Be Blessd, Loved of The LORD! 1 aka DP
