The Watchman

But I believe the vast majority of pastors that are ask to leave they have stepped on some toes, stirred up some hearts to make themselves see themselves as the sinner they really are.

These type churches want those “feel good” preachers or pastors in the pulpit. They want some water down version of the bible preached to them. They want to leave church a feel good about themselves even when they know they are not ready for this upcoming judgement.

They are in danger of taking the servant of God to lightly.

Look around and see if you are notice any young man that is just starting out preaching. If you do, it is very rare indeed. I think I have more pastor friends that have left the ministries that are in it now. They have been broken by the very people that he was to love and shepherd over.

Yes church, God’s servant are being thrown to the side even though they have warned them of the dangers forthcoming.

#3- DANGER OF BEING DECIVED BY THE DEVIL

Let’s look in Verse 5,

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

These people heard the trumpet and did not take warning.

We all know that the Devil goes about to and fro devouring whom he may.

The devil will even mix in a little truth with lies to deceive you.

Here in this verse, we see that the warning was issued but they just did not take it as serious as they should have.

Today people are getting that same mind set. Oh, nothing is going to happen for at least another 20 years or much longer. Jesus isn’t coming back that soon.

You see the Devil will deceive you. What you do Not know is that tomorrow your life will be cut short by some unforeseen reason which you had never planned for.

THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?

We must be ready at this very moment to take the call of that trumpet.

I cannot count the lives that have been deceived by that wicked liar, Satan. He has deceived many a person throughout history that followed along his path to destruction.

Are you, are we in danger of the devil deceiving us?

I do rejoice in that last part of that verse, (BUT), I’m glad for that Heavenly conjunction, business picks up when Jesus butts in.

“But” He that taketh warning, shall deliver his soul- Hey church I want to deliver my soul to Jesus.

The raiser of dead

The one that can make the lame to walk.

The one that can make the blinded eyes see.

The one that walk on the water.

The one that can feed thousands with just a few fish and bread.

The one that rose from the grave after three days.

The one that has defeated Hell and the grave.

The one that is standing on the right hand of God interceding on our behalf.

Do not let the devil deceive you for he wants your soul, he will fight to keep you away from Jesus.

#4- THE DANGER IN LOOSING YOUR JOY OF SALVATION.

That joy in salvation that happiness in knowing God and all the fullness there is.

Here in verse 6.

6 But if the watchman sees the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
