The Watchman

If I run across a person who has a gun and shooting people, I can pretty much say this person is a bad person. I can see that. Do you want to go walking downtown on the streets of Birmingham at midnight? Why? Because you have decerned there are bad people there, stay away.

I grew up just outside of Atlanta, it was well known that when the sun went down you best be getting out of that city. Those people there will kill you and not even lose any sleep over it. They are some bad people there.

So, you see you have judged people, you do it every day in fact. But Satan want you to believe that you cannot judge people and find out they do not know Jesus and you want to warn them.

Back to Verse 3 here. Look at the words, “IF WE SEETH”, that is a big word right there, this watchman will see it coming but will he blow his horn?

It makes me wonder what we are doing today, I ask you, are we in danger of forgetting to warn people about the coming judgement of God?

#2- DANGER OF TAKING GODS SERVANT TO LIGHTY.

Let’s look at verse 4 here,

4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

Look how this verse starts out, “THEN”, we see that something has or is happening.

Churches today, preachers are warning the people of an upcoming rapture. Well, those that even believe it !

They are preaching that without Christ and Hell awaits them and mind you a Hell that will last forever and forever for all of eternity.

Here in Verse 4 the bible says, “WHOSOVER HEARATH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET AND TAKETH NO WARNING”

I believe that churches today are in danger of taking God’s servant to lightly. I have heard over the course on many years people saying preachers have been preaching the last days for over a thousand years, even longer and it has not happened yet! What makes you think today or tomorrow will be any different?

I have been in churches where the congregation has been more worried about what they are going to have to eat after service than worry about where you and your loved ones will spend eternity.

Some even fall asleep in the pews and start snoring while the preaching is preaching and sounding the horn of warning of danger coming.

Churches today are running off pastors right and left, now there might be a very good reason why of course. Some may have lost that zeal or excitement for God. Some may just have decided that the fight was harder than they could bear or carry…it happens church.

I have sat with pastors when I was a full time, Evangelist. I have listened to those pastors tell me how their church is falling to the wayside, and it seem no one cares that it is happening.

I have sat with those pastors, and they have told me, if God does not move in this Revival I will be turning in my letter of resignation. I cannot carry the load anymore.

I have watch them weep, I have watch them just throw their hands up and tell me that they just can’t go on. They are beat up, they have been lambasted, lampooned and jeered at and properly cursed at, its not worth it anymore. I have seen it, yea, I have even felt some of that myself.
