We are walking in today: You Are To Warn!
Ezekiel 3:17-2517 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. 22 And the hand of the Lord was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face. 24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house. 25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them. Warn is defined to inform in advance of and impending or possible danger; give some one forceful or cautionary advice; to give notice before hand of danger or evil. Think about it, this morning. We are commissioned, we are on assignment. God has chosen us to speak His truth and only His truth! In his vision Ezekiel ate God's message and found spiritual food not only good food for him but also sweet as honey. If you digest God's word, you will find that it not only makes you stronger in your faith but it's wisdom also sweetens your life. You need to feed yourself spiritually just as you do physically! This means doing more than simply giving God's word a casual glance. You must make digesting God's word a regular part of your life. Belief in God is not a crutch for those too weak to stand on their own! God makes His followers strong enough to stand against anything or anyone. Including those who hate what is right. Just as God gave Ezekiel through faith, He wants to give you stability, perseverance and insight you need to live up to the great task that He has given you. Give yourself over to God's conditioning and let Him get your life in shape! Ezekiel needed God's word to hear, before preaching to others. God's message must sink deep into your heart and show in your actions before you can effectively help others understand and apply the gospel. Ezekiel was bitter and angry, not at God but at the sins of the people. Ezekiel's extraordinary vision has ended and He had to begin this tedious job of prophesying among His people. The same people who cared little about God's messages. Before the exile, the people had heard Jeremiah but they would not listen. Here Ezekiel has to give a similar message--expected to be rejected as well but proceeded in obedience to God. He had nothing to fear because God was with him! Despite knowing the probable outcome, Ezekiel obeyed God. As we grow, we will have times of great joy when we feel close to God. Then other times when sins and struggles of every day tasks overwhelm us. Like Ezekiel--we should obey God even when we don't feel like it. Don't let your feelings hinder your obedience! Ezekiel sat quietly among the people for seven days. This was the customary period of mourning for the dead. Ezekiel was mourning for those that were spiritually dead. A watchman's job was to stand on the city wall and to warn the people of approaching danger. Ezekiel's role was to be the spiritual watchman, warning the people of judgment to come. Some think the phrase I will hold you responsible for their deaths, means that just as the watchman on the wall, will pay with his life if he failed to warn the city of the enemy approaching. Ezekiel would pay with his life, if he refused to warn the people of the coming judgment. Others believe that this phrase simply means that God would hold Ezekiel accountable. God had already told Ezekiel that the people would not listen, so why should he bother, to tell them God's message? God wanted the people to know that they had been warned! Ezekiel's job was to obey God. We are responsible to tell others about God's judgement and His message of salvation. All though we are not held responsible for how they respond. If we refuse to tell others, what we know however--God will judge us! Remember God's words to Ezekiel when you are tempted to remain silent, among those who don't believe. In this verse God is not talking about loss of salvation but rather about physical death. If the people in Judah, continue in their sins: they, their land and their cities would be destroyed by an army brought against them. If on the other hand, the people returned to God--God would spare them. God would hold Ezekiel responsible for his fellow Jews if He failed to warn them of the consequences of their sin. All people individually are held responsible to God. But believers have a special responsibility to warn unbelievers of the consequences of rejecting God. If we fail to do this, God will hold us responsible for what happens to them. This should motivate us to begin sharing our faith with others! In word, deed and avoid becoming unconcerned in our attitudes! Ezekiel recognized his helplessness before God and fell down on His face in His presence! Some times our prosperity, popularity, or physical strength blinds us to our spiritual helplessness. But nothing we do on our own can accomplish much for God, only when God is in control of our wills can we accomplish great tasks for Him! The first step in being God's person is to admit that we need His help! Then you can begin to see what God can really do in your life! Ezekiel was allowed to speak only when God had a message for the people. Thus the people knew that whatever Ezekiel said was God's message! They did not have to wonder if Ezekiel was speaking by God's authority or of his own. It is time to warn. You are to warn!
When you know the truth about God's word, tell others! When you know the truth, that a very soul could be lost, speak the truth. When you know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth---you got to tell the truth! When you know the truth about God's word, you have to share it that a soul is not lost. God is coming back--we must walk in the truth! We shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free! Walk in the knowledge of God! It is time to warn, we are held accountable. Tell the truth about that situation, tell the truth about God's word! If not there is blood on your hands! The devil is a liar! Fiveamprayer, is sounding the alarm, there are alarms going of in the spiritual! Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you! Walk in truth! It is the truth that makes you free! Know Him, Yahshua and be made free! Stand, be a watchman on the wall. When God gives you a message, sent it out! The warning is going forth. Get right with God and do it now! He is coming back. Don't tell them what they want to hear. 2 Timothy 4:2-4 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. The enemy is the father of all lies! Tell the truth! Warn! Be the watchman on the wall! What does God's word say? Don't add to or take away. If you are not walking in the truth, if you are not worshiping in the truth--I can't walk with you! If you are not giving me God's word, unaltered! I can't go! Romans 8:31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He comes through right on time! He is the maker of the way out of no way. He gives us wisdom and knowledge--go do your own research! Know the truth for yourself! Seek Him and find Him! He brings us out of darkness into His marvelous light! Eat the word! The Holy Spirit leads and guides us! Hold on the the word of God! I don't care about tradition, call on Yahshua the name that is above every name and at this name every knee shall bow and tongue confess! Thank You for revelation knowledge! We have gone to a new dimension in God! Thank You for filling us with Your Holy Spirit! You give us daily bread. Feed us until we want no more! Thank You God. Thank You Jesus! Thank You Holy Spirit! Hold on to His word! Keep seeking the Lord. We want Your truth! Your word! Taste and see that the Lord is good! Eat the book! Ezekiel was in a place where the people didn't want to listen. Don't be afraid--God did not give you the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind! Tell the truth, we have been lied to and deceived too long! Get free, the truth makes you free! Go back and dig deeper--find out for yourself! We are to study to show ourselves approved! Eat the word! Hold on to His life changing word! Men are changing stuff! God changes not! He doesn't change His word! He watches over it to perform it! Why would God change His word, He changes not! He doesn't change His word and it is never reversed! Send out a warning! Tell them the truth! Search and find! It is in the His word. Don't let people feed you just anything! Go and find out for yourself! Don't tell me that the church is not ready! Woe to the pastors who destroy and scatter the sheep! Many are walking in tradition--we got to walk with God in the truth! Yahshua was persecuted--they did not believe Him, then many may not believe you. Take them to the word of God. We study everything else. Watch everything! We must be watchmen! This is why Jeremiah was crying and how many feel that they are by themselves. When you find out the truth! Where do you stand? Who is on the Lord's side?! Forsake everything--friends may fall off and you may loose stuff. But God gets the glory--walk in the truth! No longer a mystery! The unseen clearly seen! He has prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies. He is taking us into truth turning your world upside down. Who will line up and walk in this truth? Be not deceived, know God's word! Get it for yourself! Seek Him and not merely look or glance at Him. Warn someone today! Go back do some research! It has been a lie! Thank You God for teaching and correcting us! We are the watchmen! We are a force to be reckoned with! We are the remnant. We are in the upper room and the Holy Ghost has fallen on us. He will not leave us in darkness. This is no time to walk in error! The seventh seal has been opened. This is Revelation time! Time to walk in the truth. Sound the alarm. Your life, your children, and friends lives depend on warning them. Give them what God says! Go back and look again! Research go deeper to know God. Know for yourself. Be in relationship with Him for yourself! Stop listening to man. What did God say? Walk with God. The tares and the wheat are coming up together. It is being separated right now! Thank You God! We are the children of Israel coming over into the truth. No longer in bondage. God's grace is sufficient--I refuse to walk in lies anymore! Thank You God! Go back to the old testament. We got to know who God is! Find out who He is! I had asked many ministers, pastors and bishops--and one replied that the purest form of the name of the Son of God is Yahshua! Due to the translations and people not being able to read or the name was hard to say--were reasons given why the name was changed. We must have the purest name--I don't wanna be 55% saved! Give me 100% of the true name, Yahshua! With all of the Bible versions out there, there is even a queen James bible for gay people?! Ask your pastor what is His name? You are held accountable! Know that we are walking in this together! Watch as well as pray! He is Yahovah! Hallelujah! Take me to the King! All churched out, tired and confused! Why be surprised, the word says that people will have itchy ears, seeking only what they want to hear. Do your own research and find out for yourself that it is the truth! Even I said that it wasn't true! In speaking to doctors, pastors and bishops who confirmed the truth, said that it would confuse the people. Once you have the truth you won't be confused! I can't do it just any old way. I gotta do this God's way! With same sex marriages and all the sin in the world while the church sits quiet. There is a shift going on, a radical move. Take a stand on God's word. It is revelation time! Go do your own research! Know the truth for yourself. Warn the people. Send out a warning. Thank You God! We lift You up, You are so awesome and amazing God! You won't leave us in the darkness. You love us so much to speak to us daily. Because of who you are! We lift up prayer requests, so many don't understand--Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Ask for forgiveness, some of us are staggering--have us line up and walk in Your truth! To hear this again click here.
We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: You are to warn! You are a watchman on the wall. Eat the book!
Welcome to the overflow...
Feed your spirit man--Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. We praise Your name Lord! Glory to Your name! Hallelujah! Fear not nor be dismayed. For God is with you! Thank You God! Thank You Holy Spirit! We are doing a study of the name of Yahshua and are bringing it to the line. We are in prayer that we can have a bishop come on the line to teach on this. Matthew 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? Luke 15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? What is precious, what is true--don't you seek it out! Seek until you find it and share the treasure with all your family and friends? Why would we settle for less than the purest form of His name?! 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
