the watcher

Psalm 11:1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain? When things look overwhelming the believer should very well be careful of the type of advice they accept, for many speak out of ignorance. At the time of writing Psalm 11, it is obvious that David was facing an impending threat and most likely from Saul, the advice from his friends was to run. However the most important thing is: "what was God saying?" We shouldn't get carried away with the challenges and feel God doesn't cater for His own. NO Psalm 11:4 The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is] in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. He is displeased with those who walked in unrighteousness: Psalm 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Yes this was what Prophet Isaiah prophesied: Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: becau...

Psalm 10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. The origin of sin, is the lack of the fear of God! Yes, even from the garden of Eden. Listen, how dare they discuss God behind His back! Psalm 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts. Psalms 10:11 The wicked think, “God isn’t watching us! He has closed his eyes and won’t even see what we do!” In Genesis chapter 3, this is exactly what played out. Almost all who walk in iniquity think the same way. However, what the Messiah taught us was different: John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. This Paul emphasized: Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Yes it is all about our Heavenly Father, for He gave us...

Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. The subject of hell and the punishment of the wicked has been discussed in many circles from three perspectives: * It's existence or non existence * It's intensity and duration * What could lead one to end up there. The first ideology should not be an issue, unless they decide to disbelieve the bible: Mark 9:43-44 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. James 3:6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto j...

Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. One of the biggest challenges of man is pride. The very thing the bible teaches us brought Satan down. We are called of God to humble ourselves to Him, in that we defeat all our enemies and enjoy His glory. Many who claimed to be called of God allow themselves to become so self conscious that they attempt to take God's place. "beware" Psalm 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? When we say we must grow as believers, our maturity is not the growth of pride but in faith and in the knowledge of God. However in wrath we must remain babes. Not man of God, but children of God! Selah Matthew 18:3-4 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as...

Matthew 26:41 Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” Why do we pray? One major reason the Messiah gave was that we do not fall into temptation! Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak. Prayer goes beyond just staying at a place mumbling words. Where is your heart? I talked to a brother from a certain denomination some time ago, the word of the Lord came to him "how long will you keep fighting battles I have already won for you, a child cries when they need something, for they still do not know how to speak. However when an adult cries when they need something you rebuke them. We must outgrow certain things if we are believers, else we get to meet our Heavenly Father at the end to find that our files are empty, for we spent the whole time fighting unnecessary battles. When do we fulfill our assignment?" We must understand that if...

Psalms 5:12 For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love. Psalms 5:5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil. When we read through the book of Psalms we see a clear cut between those who work in righteousness (the godly) and those who choose to walk in iniquity (the ungodly). There has always been this demarcation, for Christ when teaching Nicodemus compared it to the contrast between light and darkness: John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Furthermore He explained: John 3:20&21 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John still declared: 1John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you...
