Day Of Reckoning

Yes, the day is dawning with confirmation in its wings. Others judge to no avail. How sweet the fruition of obedience ratified. OH, the standing firm and doing nothing of one's own effort. Any self labor will be undressed, as insignificancy. Naked comfort knowing no adversary prevailing.

HELLO? Intestinal fortitude weaken by concern-able time. Seasons of wonderment of durability ... ... ... never lost or hidden. Only hope for those who endure!

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

Step By Step

Loved Of The LORD,

It has been a long time since I have posted here and I have truly gone through a transformation.

When I am Done! You Will have something to whet your appetite, tickle your pallet if not to really chew on!

HOPEFULLY Not an antidote for insomnia, as a Presidential Press Conference tho far from being innocuous. (I will not be using a ‘TelePrompter!)

I have no desire to proselytize you, nor to change your political persuasion. Only to inform for your evaluation.

I am not an Evangelist per se, Tho I would be remiss not to bring my conviction of THE TRUTH found is Holy Writ that no man comes to the Father, Except thru the SON. The ‘Lake of Fire’ Eternally for those that pass by God’s provision thru Jesus The Anointed.

Preaching The Good News Of my Lord Jesus Christ is my Profession, But my Love and Hobby is Teaching The Truths found in Scripture to those who are interested and at Funerals and occasions like at Toastmasters where I have a Captive Audience.

There are those who say, The Bible is Not The Word Of God! Why would they say that? "Contradictions!", says one! "Name one?", Say I. They Never read in its entirety, if even read it all.

The Bible will confirm itself. 2 Cor. 13:1 "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."

Now that that is established again, I will endeavor to explain what has happened to me over the last two years or so. It Kinda, Sorta snuck up on me as I was pretty well established in my perspective of “What Is!”

To parenthesize a current event of a Memorial Service of a long time Friend That I had encouraged to accept God’ s Provision for around thirty years. He had moved back to his home town about 4 years ago and not in contact with him, I was Called on to officiate at this local memorial last night. He passed on last May. I asked his widow who Jesus was to him and she responded with, “El Senor y Salvador!”

He had a nominal Spiritual Understanding, being a baby Baptized Catholic. Eventually after dropping off his wife and daughter at church for several months while he went for coffee he accepted his wife’s invitation to come to Church with them. The preacher was explaining that the only worthwhile thing to accomplish here was to serve God! I am betting on Ecc. 12:1 ff.

The video of his baptism, he explains that is was like going from Black & White to Technicolor. This is a type of the process we (Who are seeking more of HIM) go thru who are “Just Passing Thru!” MORE ON ITS WAY!

Spiritual Battles In The Heavenlies!

This was 1st posted at www.dpgatten.com

So many times I am asked to be praying for something &/or to be put on my prayer list. First of all I quit having a prayer list, as I always ran out of paper. I do know there are many who have and keep up 'Prayer Journals' and are Blessed accordingly.

I will pray right then and usually ask that when there is further need I will be quicken to pray at that time and sometimes I am and sometimes I am not.

Nevertheless there is always prayers going on and is Another reason when asked, I say we are in prayer, (Before The Throne & 2 or more together in HIS Name!) and we will be looking for the "Good Report!" in JESUS' Name!

I do not know why I am telling you this. [At the time I 1st wrote this I was in the Dark though you will be able to see the light come in steps and/or stages.]

Earlier today (around 9 AM onMonday the 26th of Jan. 2009) I become aware of gargantuan activity in the spiritual realm and around 3 PM, I told Marilyn that there is a battle going on & it will soon become obvious to those sensitive, as it breaks out & forth in the here & now. Those who are not plugged in will only be able to see havoc & turmoil and thus not able to be of service.

I am always aware that a prophet never misses. One miss and you are out. In other words; Not a Prophet Of God! ... A False Prophet.

I was also checked earlier [Around 10 AM], not to use the word 'Ministry' during a phone conversation with a brother that is being taken in an explosive expansion, as a servant of the most high GOD and was prompted to use 'Service' instead, not knowing then what it meant at the time.

During the different activities during the day I was aware of the military and the reference of being in the service and quicken to this:

Jesus told us in Matt. 10:34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword."

For what it is worth:


Tell me it is presumption; Amos 3:7

Continuing as a servant serving The Most High GOD!

As usual , looking 4 'The Good Report!

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:

Thoughts ~ Philippian Stop Sign

As I continue to write, I periodically Mention “The Philippian Stop Sign” and how importantly it becomes, as I seek direction and Revelation. Many times there is a necessity to recapitulate how I come across some of theses Jewels that are a part of my walk with The Living GOD! Please understand that this is not from “The Gnostic Mindset”, But as The HOLY SPIRIT Reveals.



Times past it is just to give credit to the Individual that the tidbit comes from, though that is not always the case and /or necessary. In fact in my conversations with HIM, I have even repented for going on as if the revelation was given directly to me, and was told, “Where Do You Think That They Got It From, To Begin With?!”



In this case, I want to back up and introduce you to one of my dear friends, who has been at times a subtle Mentor (Humbly, not suggesting that what he had to say had any purpose.) and many times one used to allow me to make quantum leaps in Faith.



Of course we share many trips where we have been (You might say,) hand in hand, as GOD has spoke to both of us through both of us. Oh, before I pass it by, his name is Doug.




I will start this writing with a perspective he gave me over thirty years ago, that though it was beyond my understanding at the time has allowed me to interact with so many of my brethren over the years.



Picture if you can a Dumbbell with two round hollow balls at each end of a hollow tube. You are in one ball (Your World) looking through the hollow tube at any other person in (Their World) the other ball. The only thing one may see of the other ball (Through The Tube.) is very limited and visa versa. Somewhat resembling 'The Shadows' of Plato’s “Cave Allegory”, Another Subject For Another Time!”



In other words, one cannot really understand the uniqueness of another’s Perspective of the physical Realm to begin with, let alone Spiritual Understanding. Oh yes, from what we can see, we can agree on many aspects of the worlds (Balls) of others, especially if we want to.



My Question at the time was how can I be sure that what I am doing at any time, is the perfect Will of God? This was a quandary for many years for me, as another perspective Doug used was that he chose not to believe anything that was not revealed by The Spirit of God! This included many verses of Scripture that I had wrapped up with a bow and made my own. (Emphasis Mine!)



Nevertheless, several years ago, as I was questioning him again, out of the Blue he referred to ‘The Philippian Stop Sign” and the assurance it afforded.



So if you are ready let us take that Mystical Trip that Paul explains in the third Chapter of Philippians. I will use the New King James Version for this explanation.



Paul’s exhortation is to not to have any confidence in the flesh and you have to admit that this has been … the norm for The Traditional Church to have us major in. Nevertheless, Paul goes on to explain one of the main reasons is so that we may Fellowship in our LORD’s Sufferings.



Keep in mind that these words we have mouthed over the centuries. The Goal is to attain to the resurrection from the dead. This is something that is ongoing in the here and now! Phil. 3: 10 & 11. Paul has tasted something that is sweet … maybe flavorful would be a better word. In that morsel is the promise of even more of the same. Now at the same time, as Socrates’ philosophers are blinded by the sun when coming out of the cave and their former cave neighbors now think they are crazy, they can now see and describe what are no longer shadows. Paul is doing his best to encourage The Philippians, as well as us today to partake of what has been placed before us.



No way is Paul bragging or elevating himself, more than likely savoring the pain of Christ’s Suffering, he continues in the 12th verse with:

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

He is continuing in what he now knows he has been called to and he, also has a need/desire to grasp even more.

[13] Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, [14] I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Allow me to leave the significance of partaking of “The Suffering” and address the Philippian Stop Sign. As we learn to “PRESS In” to that goal, we KNOW that we are on that ‘Path’ and we have what is called, “The Mind Of Christ”:

1 Cor. 2:16 For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

This Maturity, Perfection is on going process that still brings us to the place of absolute assurance of our walk and we know:

[Phil. 3:15] Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

(This Is The Stop Sign, should it be used.) It now becomes GOD’s right, … job, … and even pleasure to straighten us out! The rest of the Chapter Paul’s Exhortation is again to imitate him, as he imitates Christ. (1 Cor. 4:16; 1 Cor. 11:1;)

Take the time to allow the last six verses to speak to you in that very special way and I will stop here so I can post this to the Blog.

Now no doubt there will be some of you who will not see it this way and all I can do is to encourage you to continue to look down that “Hollow Tube” and wonder until you become a Partaker of HIS Kingdom Now!

Preachers In An Insane Asylum! ~ ~ Or Crazy Preachers!

‘The Book’

Loved of The LORD, There does not seem to be any Chronological Order to this ‘The Book’ so far. Writing as given Direction for now, then some order when it is put together to be published.

We continue, this week, with our ‘Mission Adventure’ and one of our trips to a ‘Mental Hospital’! I have to tell you that when Pat told the Ministry Group he had made arrangements to visit the ‘Clients’ in the local asylum, it was hard to hold a straight face. At first it was ‘Mission Impossible’ to me.

The young folks in our crew seem to be happy about the opportunity. The paid interpreter was always happy no matter where we went to minister. Keeping my mouth closed and again trusting God to receive The Glory was by this time a disciplined routine. At least until Pat and I were alone to discuss it more in depth.

My Mother had a nervous breakdown when I was 10. She found herself admitted into the State Facility for patients with mental disorders and problems. Family and friends housed my siblings and me for a little over a year. This was the nearest situation to the mental issue per se in my experience.

My wife and I were a part of some meetings about demonology and had an understanding about how to recognize and then minister when confronted by the enemy. Nevertheless, we did not pursue it any and was blessed not being called to that ministry full time, though found ourselves there several different times. Always blessed by seeing the results, yet we never really looked for those kinds of opportunities.

With the apprehension leaving in stages, we easily gained entrance to the hospital. Patrick arranged our meeting before hand and we moved into sort of an assembly room. Here many of the patients were waiting in what seem to be great expectation. At times radical behavior consisting of erratic physical actions and/or vocal exclamations ensued, of which some, learning later, were Russian expletives.

Our group taught the patients and encouraged them to sing, Russian Praise and Worship songs to The Lord with us even with the outbreaks of extreme conduct. Patrick would preach, with the translator interpreting in between the songs.

We had one and a half hours to minister and then lunchtime for the patients. Patrick promised that we would pray for healing and other needs. When the singing was over the patients wanting prayer then formed a line, immediately almost without any direction.

Everyone wanting prayer received it from Patrick and myself, as others in the group would interpret and of course agree.

I am writing this as, if being some kind of expert in Demon possession and oppression, yet keep in mind the experience in the past, had been sporadic and only at a few different occasions. To tell you the truth I am still glad that God had not called us to full time ministry in demonology and practice, though those times, for sure, were examples to trust Him now. At this time, I was not comfortable at all, probably why, so much success. To God Be The Glory!

There was one young woman that was convinced that the devil owned her soul and she knew she was bound for hell. She was coherent and cognitive to a certain extent, yet periodically showed signs of multiple personality disorder. She had been abused over the years and been taken advantage of. The Holy Spirit gave direction for the right questions to ask.

She answered the questions with her understanding of Whom God was and what she guessed HE would do when asked. The ‘Addresses’ of where the quoted Scripture’s were, flowed almost magically. Continually guided to refute her premises with the Word and those with me would look up the scriptures, when quoted and showing them to her, in a Russian Bible, as confirmation of what God had said. (Was Saying.)

Her right hand crippled over the years, we learned, by a gradual response to her proclamations of the bondage to the devil’s influence over her life. The only way to describe it is to take your left hand and pull the right thumb tight as you can to your wrist with your left thumb. See picture below.

After forty-five minutes or so, we were making progress, having come against the evil influence whenever it hindered in Jesus’ Name. The other patients went to lunch, as Patrick now join us in prayer and agreement.

She finally came to a place to understand that the influence would not have any power when she renounced it in Jesus’ Name. We continued binding the enemy and loosing the understanding and she confesses Jesus as her Savior and The Lord of her life.

Explaining that now she was a child of The Living God, we encouraged her now to see HIM as The Great Physician too. I took her right hand in both of mine and given direction to come against the enemy’s bondage of her crippled hand, in Jesus’ Name.

You might be wondering about being redundant about using Jesus’ name, Nevertheless, every thing that was accomplished while being over there was done in Jesus’ Name and for HIS Glory!

Satan was bound and healing was loosed, we all watched amazed as her hand started to straighten itself and in two or three minutes it was normal. We all rejoiced with her, as she was now thanking God and giving HIM the glory. She had gained full use of her hand and now she shook hands with all of us to prove the completeness of use.

We encouraged her to read the bible we gave her and to be where she could hear The Word taught to strengthen her in her walk. Romans 10:17 So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Saying good-bye and promising to come back again in a few weeks, we left the warmness of the facility and were never bothered by the two and a half feet of snow. We waited the hour for the next bus back to our part of town, laughing and rejoicing in what we had seen God do that day.

There were several patients had confessed Christ through Pat’s Preaching and as far as we were concerned it had been a ‘Mission Accomplished’. To Him Be The Glory!

Next week Back to Moldova & ‘Mix, The Russian Cowboy Missionary’!

To Get Things Going!

In answer to E-Mail request on: “Hearing GOD for direction.” Please make query to any terms that you are not familiar with. I will let this develop accordingly.

070109 A lot on my plate, yet I want to give you my 'Honest Opinion' and I do not want to alert 'The Blab It & Grab It ' Police, IYKWIM?
1st let me re-establish my position. We (@ least U & me) have been put here, (Where ever that may be @ the Time) to find out how much GOD Loves us, ... to 'Know' (Somewhat) what 'Price Was Paid' and to 'Also Know' that U & I are debtors and that the accruing interest thru the past has been paid, by our obedience to HIS Direction, i.e. accepting what HE has done all (At The Cross) that all has been paid., Now as HE Publishes (Thru Us) that Truth to every other human being on the face of the earth, as HE directs. (BTW! Not as others expect &/or demand us to do!)
That being said!
The more I study, the more I am learning that we have more to do with (The OnGoing) Creation in 'The Here & Now' that meets the Proverbial Eye! You especially 'Know' that I have been teaching for many moons that we hear @ least 5 voices. GOD, if we have our ears on, the devil for sure & need to recognize that one, our Peers, (Family, Friends & Associates), The World and all of its offers &/or Traps, and the "Subtle One", which is 'Self' Itself"!!!
"Sub Divide", as U desire. ... ... ... Now I have a "Whole Lot More" to say about our part of creation here & now, yet will leave it for another curiosity. One thing I do Know, (@ least @ this time) is that I need to Hear HIS Voice above all ... ... ... and that HE Confirms my Direction (with 2 or more { I have so many daily that I can bet w/out gambling!}) and that as long as I am seeking (HIS) Direction that I can & will count on " Philippian Stop Sign " (Philip. 3:15; ) should I venture off ... ... ... this exciting path!
A N D ! Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing,
Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
N O W ! Yes there are many voices, thoughts, ideas that go thru our minds, AND like birds ... that we can do nothing about ... flying over our heads, Yet 'We Can Choose' which ones we will allow to build nests in our hair! IYKWIM?
Believing that this will help ... I am '1' ... ... ... ORU12?
