"The Day of Realization"
THE DUTIES OF THE WATCHMAN - ARE YOU ONE TOO?
This Series Is Under Construction and I have No Idea Where It Will Go!
 
Having lived long enough to become an old "DUDE" ... Sixty Three Years ... I looked around and realized I had no family, no friends and no survivors. Upon this realization, I thought, "not bad, I'm gonna break even!" (reference)

While this may seem to be a 'bit' arrogant, I meant every word of that thought. I learned years ago that we are owed nothing in this life. I realized that the same mentality and character that drove humans to kill the Son of God, had also possessed many, if not most of my friends, family and enemies. What chance should we have for kindness and compassion? It has occurred to me that if you receive those things such as kindness or compassion, from the "world" you must be of the "world." If you need further proof, you must know that Jesus told us the same thing.

It is my inherent nature that I tell people "things." I came to know this many years ago but I didn't understand that the reason was of a spiritual nature. I thought it was simply a personality trait. In my later years I have learned that this is the trait of a messenger.

I am led to speak of things that are important to some who are in His service or will be in His service in this realm or the next. I believe that in some cases it is to give the recipient of the message the opportunity to do the "right" thing. I have seen this on various occasions. It is weird, spooky, strange ... one could use other descriptive terms to express the supernatural nature of the happenings. I have seen some people miss the trip into the Kingdom for not making the "right" decision... Of course I never really know what transpires between God and the subject prior to taking their last breath, so I do not really know if they missed the boat but it appears they did just that. However, I do not truly know what all went on between Eternal God and the person. I would like to think that to all I have delivered messages made it! That is a nice thought! However, from all outward appearances it appears to NOT be the case all the time. BUT WHO KNOWS?

I am to make no exceptions... "tell everybody the same truth." I know that is not done without destroying the messenger (me) in this society. The messenger of such harsh truths is not well received! It's not a popular job! When you see him, ask John The Baptist... to mention the most highly decorated of such messengers. People of the world just don't like messengers. Makes me know just how few are truly God's children.

It is of extreme interest to me to know how many "Messengers" or "Watchmen" are currently in service. I wonder how many are appointed and serve but do not understand their appointment? It was by accident that the role of "Watchman" was called to my attention. A friend suggested that my drive and obvious calling was that of a Watchman. I knew I was driven to deliver messages that were revealed to me but I never considered the role of "Watchman." There were ocassions that the message was for a particular person... most times the message was for the mass... Not intended for any one individual (to my knowledge) but just to announce it.

Great people of the past who are now worshipped and revered that were instructed in this mission are well known and only history makes them accepted and honored. In their day they were crucified, beheaded and persecuted... God is a natural God. Because (Adam & Eve) the original creation of God sold earth and all within it to Satan, it appears that God abides by those rules laid down by the Prince of Air... or Satan as we commonly know him. The book of Genesis is a beautifully written explanation of this event. However, there is much that is not written... things that some of us need to know to dig deeper into understanding. Simple faith is adequate preparation for the transistion into the Kingdom but many of us crave more understanding.

To mention a "few" of the better known messengers are as follow:

1) The Son of God, Jesus... and His twelve closest friends. Those "12" that He entrusted to establish the "truth!" The "truth" that most Christians agree is the "key" required to enter heaven.

2) The prophets of old were killed and treated like common criminals... Imagine that! The key personnel who established the word of God were killed for their contribution to heaven-bound followers.

When I state it like that I feel better about the whole mission! In another few hundred years, someone might have something nice to say about present day messengers! Although, I doubt that anybody will remember my name in a few dozen years. So much for greatness! (chuckles) In many ways I wish they would all forget my name as of right now.

Do I compare myself to Jesus, His 12 or the Prophets? NO! I use them as examples because I am pretty sure you will recognize them. "Can we talk?"

In the future if someone tells you something about that which you have asked guidance or a crisis in which you or someone else needs help, pay careful attention and take it to God, through prayer. That messenger may be on a mission... for you or a loved one. Above all, do not malign the messenger or compromise the effectiveness of the message... All of that is covered under His penalty of law. If you do create doubt and negate the message and cause someone to miss the Kingdom, the blood is on your hands. Not something you want! I am afraid I have seen this happen too. I hope not but am afraid so!

Because I can only say it face-to-face to a few, I feel compelled to write it. Who knows? Somebody might read this and it could actually bring about some understanding for them.

Our Lord tells us that the road is narrow and few will ever find the path, so be mindful. Above all, be careful of your input into any situation. Don't meddle with messengers, their job is hard enough!

 
I Hope This Series Helps or Constructively Entertains A "Few" Of You.
Remember, I have no idea where it is headed!
