We are "Kickin' the Tires, lightn' the fires, Stirrn' the melting pot of America and the World, You are listening to The Watchman On Warn Radio!"
 The Truth, One Hope, One Salvation Go HERE! |
 Living Waters, Psalms of the Watchman, Go HERE! |
- Summary: The trusting in the arm of the flesh is what we do best in the USA. Our lives are so entwined with our gadgets, technology, massive food supplies, overstocked stores that we do not know as our forefathers did, who is our God. This casting away of the Lord God and trusting in ourselves will bring our fears upon us along with desolation.
Psalms 56:4 Â In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?
Jeremiah 17:5  ¶Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
These days can be extremely trying. The many voices that want to be heard can overwhelm anyone seeking to find knowledge and truth. For those in
America, hard times is not what we are used too. Our forefathers from the start of this great nation faced the times with the knowledge that death
and suffering lay ahead. My grandmother came to our part of the country in a covered wagon, before the 1900’s and times were tough. There were no
cars, roads to speak of, nice comfortable houses with forced air heat in winter and air conditioning in the summer. Frozen foods were those things
left in the ice house or left out in the cold of the winter’s night. This was a time when the Indian wars, cowboys, drinking, and violence were the
way of life out here. The war between the cattlemen and the sheep men had just gotten over, while the civil war was still in the minds of many.
Moreover, today we find that many of this generation simply doesn’t know what is coming or don’t seem to care. The many prophets speaking smooth
things and casting their lines for profit are many. The preachers and churches follow up with their own brand of psycho-babble. If it has an introduction,
three points, and a conclusion, we call it good preaching. Of course don’t leave out the fact that we don’t want to hear repentance or that we are sinners.
We especially don’t want to hear that we must follow the Lords commandments.
For many they have simply learned to trust in man. They trust in doctors for healing, lawyers for the courts, cooks for the food to be prepared, preachers
for the church, and the USA for a safe haven. Everywhere we look in America; our lives depend on technology, freedoms, and other people. Our lives are so entwined
that if something did happen, most would not know what to do. If the food was not in Wal-Mart, what then? Where would we go? If our Cars needed to fuel up and the
gas was not in the station down the street, then what? Â For many, they would simply look to the government and those men or women in charge to help them. Just like
Katrina, many would wait in a corral like sheep or cattle, waiting for man to arrive with help.
That is the problem we have today. Our trust must be in the Lord. The times are coming when just what we feared will come upon us. Why, because we have cast off the
Lord our God and his commandments. Â
Isaiah 66:4 Â I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they
did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
When there are no doctors, trust in the Lord. When the food is short, seek the Lord. Violence erupts and the nation is in chaos, trust in the Lord. This kind of trust does
not just arrive. You must work at it. It comes from following the Lord, keeping his commands, and seeking Him in prayer and fasting. The Lord will make himself known to those
who truly seek him with their whole heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 Â And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
As you learn to develop your relationship with the Lord today, then tomorrow you will be ready. For the Lord doesn’t leave his people without hope. He is the deliverer,
provider, and salvation for those who trust in Him. This is the living God I am talking about. We are not talking about Buddha, Allah, or the millions of Hindu Gods. We are
not talking about a Catholic God or a protestant God. We are talking about the Lord God, who sent His son, Messiah Yeshua to die on the cross for your sins and mine. It is this
God, whom we belong to, as a result of repentance and faith. It is this seeking the Lord, following Him, and keeping those things he wants us to do, which reveals the Lord God in us.
Today, I call upon you to seek the Lord, without which no one will make it through the coming calamity. He is calling you to seek Him today, for tomorrow; you may not be able to
find him. Â The stark warning out of Proverbs should awaken everyone to hearken to the Lord today. For when your fear cometh as desolation and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish comes upon you, then you will surely call upon the Lord God.
Proverbs 1:27 Â When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Â Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 Â For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 Â They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Â Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 Â For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 Â But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
That is why today, you need to call upon the Lord.
Romans 10:12  ¶For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 Â For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
For if your hearts are so taken up in this life, the snare which is to come will arrive and find you not prepared. For it is given to this people as a warning that you need to take heed.Â
Luke 21:34 Â And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 Â For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Â Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
