AN LP/OP is a military term for a Listening Post/Observation Post. And when assigned that duty you only relinquish when properly relieved of that duty.

2:1 I will stand at my watch-

God has appointed watchman, with a specific purpose, and for a specific time. We are in a time such as that. I AM a Watchman, so I will fulfill my duty with integrity and devotion.

-and station myself on the ramparts; I will LOOK to see what He will Say

A place of unobscured vision, to see out past the gates. Where are you positioned my fellow watchmen. A watchman, is much like a sheepdog to The Good Shepherd. He keeps a steady eye on the sheep, mindful and watchful for the silent attack of the predator. He also is Always aware of the location of The Good Shepherd, and awaits His Masters voice. His activity, His comings and goings.

In the Book of Habakkuk we find the prophet complaining or questioning The Lord Almighty in regards to Wickedness, unrighteousness, and Justice. We are in a Time in which we might find ourselves in that same predicament. We are in a Time much speculated about what God is doing, what it appear is happening in America and really around the planet. God is setting the table for what He is about to reveal.

2:2

Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald (messenger) may run with it. For the Revelation of it (Reveal, or to Unveil) awaits an “Appointed Time”; it speaks of the End and will not prove False.

The world is being set for the appearance of one who will be like a breath of fresh air, with wonderous words and miraculous deeds. Yet he is not as he appears. Lies, and deception are his craft. His zeal for power will ultimately reveal his true nature. We are in an “Appointed Time” . As we are beholding in our day the implementation of that which was declared, in ancient days. One who is puffed up, prideful, arrogant; one who desires not righteousness, but greed drives him so that he will continuously take more from you, stealing and extorting until all are his captives. This should not take us by surprise, should not instill fear. As the Watchman has seen his coming for a time.

Though it Linger wait for it; it Will certainly come and not delay.

The End is rapidly approaching, the end of one period of time , is just the beginning of another period of time. For some the waiting is the difficult part. Will Righteousness prevail? Or will the continued lies and deception for the ultimate confrontation be allowed to continue? I will declare to you that we will see something miraculous in our day, to where it should leave no doubt. That God is in control of kingdoms and nations and rulers. This pause or respite will not be a long term occasion, it like Lot having time to be removed from Sodom and Gomorrah, is for a sovereign move of God by His Holy Spirit moving in and through a revitalized empowered church (body of believers) for the salvation of many. Prior to The Good Shepherd coming to receive that which belongs to Him.

Habakkuk ends in declaration of the sovereignty of The Lord God Almighty, and states;

3:18-19 Yet I Will REJOICE in The LORD, I will be Joyful in God My Savior. The Sovereign Lord IS My Strength…

We MUST always rely on The Lord Our God, and Praise, Exalt, Adore, and Worship His Holy Name for He alone is Worthy.

Habakkuk means He who embraces or he who clings to. We must CLING to and hold onto The Lord for our FAITH in HIM will sustain us.

May The Sound of the Shofar pierce and penetrate the Atmosphere. A recurring theme has been in my daily readings and devotional time for the past week or so, it is this. Although we see with the natural eye the perceived prosperity of the wicked; and supposed fruition of the plans of the deceitful. The Word of The Lord is this, They will not succeed as long as there is a righteous stance in opposition to those plans. I do not wish to imply that The Lord God is not sovereign or that He is not able to do all He has planned and purposed to accomplish all by Himself. But rather to urge fellow believers to Trust in His Word, and to look to His Word, and to gain an understanding by His Spirit for the time in which we are living. I do not believe for a moment God has abandoned the United States, but that He is allowing us this moment of Grace to REPENT, from ALL the sins of the Church, as well as those of a wicked generation. So that a Righteous generation would emerge. One that would see a move of the Holy Spirit in Truth and in Power. Not bridled by man made regulations or institutions. As free as the Wind to move and blow as He pleases. For some scripture reference to my point I submit the following: Psalms 5 and Is. 44/45, 2 Chr. 15:1-7, Dan.5:27. God is more than able to do a miracle in our day. We shall see it as Righteousness sweeps across this land. For those who Stand in the Gap, to travail as in labor giving birth, crying and weeping for this nation, putting it ALL on the line. As a Cyrus; President Trump stands in the gap between A global dominating spirit of oppression and control on one side and on the other the Awakening of a long dormant, sleeping church, a body of believers in God Almighty through Christ Jesus, that would proclaim and stand for the righteousness of The Lord. Having Eyes to See and Ears to Hear what The Lord of Hosts is revealing to any and all that hunger and thirst for Righteousness.

How can we become so overwhelmingly pre-occupied with the busyness of life. Forgetting to take the important time to refresh and restore our souls, our minds and spirits. This morning I was overwhelmed with this thought or perspective of the majestic nature and awesomeness of God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit. His Glory has nothing to compare to it. Yet, the psalmist sings “The heavens Declare the glory of God”. Ps 19. Then again , The Whole earth is Full of of Your Glory. Ps 72

I know sometimes although not intentionally we forget the Awesomeness, and the Amazingly Powerfully Majestic nature and attributes of Our God. In this moment in time what I believe The Spirit is doing, moving, and speaking to His people is this. Precious stones do not simply appear, that are created through a process of extreme pressure and intense heat. God is purifying the Church and getting His promise made ready, for those who will not fade away, shrink back or give up! But will press in, cling ever more desperately to the Branch, the vine. Lifting our voice in One accord.

Psalms 66, along with Isaiah 43; testify to this process and this promise, when we go through the FIRE, and the WATERS, they will NOT overtake us if we would just believe and trust in Him.

66:10 For YOU, O God, TESTED US, you refined us like silver. v 12(b) we went through FIRE and WATER, but You brought US to a place of ABUNDANCE!

Praise The Lord Oh My Soul, I will Extol Your Great Name and Praise You in spite of what my eyes see. For Great are YOU LORD. Have your Way and Do your Good work in me. Though “persecution” trials and tribulations will come; Gird up my loins that I might Stand!

Have you ever noticed and I find it quite interesting how All major Liberal Anti -God and Anti-Jesus cities in the United States, boast in regard to the “Christmas Tree” and faithfully erect the tree that was cut down in the forest and secured that it not move, adorn it with silver and gold, and then have celebrations underneath its glow?

What is the history , the origin of this ancient tribute? I mean not to put a damper on your festive occasions, but to me something seems clearly wrong with the removal of God; His Ten Commandments, and Christ Jesus and The Bible from almost every aspect of our society and yet this, as well the abominable symbols of eggs and bunnies (fertility) for the celebration of Passover and Resurrection Sunday, the Feast of First Fruits. Could it be these idolatrous observances have been implemented into church culture for so long now we dare not rock the boat nor ask the question; is this pleasing to God Our Father and His Son Christ Jesus (Yeshua) Our Redeemer? So as you hang your stocking this year and light your lights, forget the traditional “symbolism” we’ve been taught, via the doctrines of men and devils, and humbly ask The Lord to show (reveal) and lead you into truth. It is often described that December 25th aka The Winter solstice an ancient pagan observance celebrated this day as the day of the birth of Tammuz (Saturn) a re-born Nimrod by his wife-mother Semiramis (Ishtar/Asherah/Isis). Pagan Rome followed as did Egypt the gods of Babylon.

No longer should we walk in darkness, for He has called us into His Kingdom of Light!

Happy Thanksgiving: from Our Founding til Today. LORD GOD , BLESS AMERICA.

Praise God from Whom ALL Blessings FLOW. May each of you know the fulness of His grace, and may your family be Blessed in Him.

The story, a parable, of The Good Samaritan as told by Jesus the Messiah. Lk. 10:30-36 NIV

The Road to Jericho, also known as The Valley of the Shadow of Death (Ps.23), and The Bloody Way. This story at face value is a simple parable to understand as we are to Love our neighbor. I would like to pay a bit closer attention to the persons and names in the story, and perhaps pose a slightly deeper more spiritual impact as it unfolds, as to Who is the Good Samaritan. A “man” was going down from “Jerusalem” to “Jericho”

First lets look at Jericho, presumably the oldest city in the world.

Aside from being the “Oldest City in the World” it also happened to be as noted in the photo below, a “high” place. This is where Jesus overcame Satan’s temptation to have All the glory of the kingdom’s of the world if he would worship him, Satan. This is also the high place of astronomical worship to the Moon God, from where Jericho derives its name (Moon or lunar month). Coincidence? I think not. The oldest city, ruled by the deed holder of all the kingdoms of the world. How did he (Satan) acquire the deed? At the Fall of “Man” Adam whose name means “man” and his number is 6. In The Garden of Eden in Genesis Adam (man) rebelled against God and took from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This left Adam (man) in a HALF DEAD state of being, as he was now separated from God due to SIN, and delivered dominion of the world to the enemy of our souls. So back to our parable, a “man” Robbed, beaten left half dead, by a thief, a murderer, a destroyer, again sounding coincidental?

The Devil is a Liar, A Thief, A Murderer, A Destroyer. He deceived man in the Garden, left him half dead, and robbed him of the dominion that was decreed to him at creation. Setting the stage for the arrival of The Good Samaritan. Seeing “Fallen” man (Adam) He (The Son of God) came to bind up the broken hearted, to heal the sick, to restore sight to the blind, the lame walk, to set the captive free. The Samaritan had compassion and bandaged his wounds, anointed the man with “Oil and Wine” to obvious here as for the elements of Holy Spirit anointing and Blood of The Covenant. We must now point out this story is about Jerusalem, Jericho, man, and a Good Samaritan. Jerusalem, most would say means The City of Peace which it does but that is only part of its defining framework. Jeru at its root means to instruct, teach, or show the way. Salem; means peace, but also implies in its root form; to complete to restore, to be safe in mind and body. What a powerful name! What a POWERFUL story that Christ Jesus laid out. So what I have attempted to point you to in this story this parable is not only was the Good Samaritan a parable to show us how we ought to Love one another, it reveals the truer understanding of John 3:16. Now as Jesus wraps up the parable, let us All take heart as we understand the day we live in. The man (Adam restored) was taken to an Inn to be cared for by the Inn Keeper for about two days, The Samaritan left a deposit to cover that until His return. After Jesus was crucified, died, buried, and resurrected. He sent a “deposit” a seal of guarantee, that He would return for those He has “restored”. That Deposit is the Holy Spirit, and we have been under His care for approximately two days, For a day unto the Lord is as a thousand years.

[2Cor. 1:21,22 5:5, Eph. 1:13,14 4:30, 2Ti. 2:19]

Glory to God Most High! We hunger and are longing for Your Return!!

Luke 6:46-49

The house we are building, is it from wood, hay and stubble? Or is it made of gold silver, and other precious materials? Now is that house we are constructing set upon a Firm Foundation…A ROCK? Or is it built upon the ever shifting sands of time, the ebb and flow of the kingdoms of this world? The ROCK, the foundation, He changes not. The Chief Cornerstone is the stone that sets True and Straight the rest of the house, He it is that we Trust in and build upon. We can withstand the Storm that approaches as we remain Firmly fastened and secured, anchored to HIM!

In this Crazy hectic, often chaotic at times, world we are attempting to survive and live in; COVID, p(l)andemic, world economies crumbling, 4 years of Anti-Trump to now a perhaps “altered” elections, lockdowns and mandates. Even in regards to congregating to celebrate an honoring for the blessings of liberty, although we are keeping our eyes on the Lord! Yet even in 2020; It is Always a Good thing to make sure to Stop and take a very good look at the blessings we have. Lord God, Our Good Shepherd in Heaven! I would like to just Thank you Lord God for the wonderful Richness of All Your Blessings in MY Life. For if were not for You I would be LOST.

My Life, my FAMILY, the country of my heart, friends, acquaintances, and the ability to work, and wage warfare (Eph. 6:10). The beauty of All the life you have displayed for us to behold, and the majesty of this place we call our TEMPORARY home. What splendor Awaits those who have accepted your gracious bounty of salvation. May The Lord Be Gracious To You All, and Give You Peace!

I Thank You Lord Jesus for not only All the Wonderful blessings, but I want to Thank You and Praise you simply for WHO You Are!!! King Of KINGS!!! Majesty!

With ALL I am LORD I Thank and Bless Your Holy NAME!

Isaiah 11:1-2

The Spirit of The LORD will rest upon Him- The Spirit of Wisdom and of Understanding. The Spirit of Counsel and of POWER. The Spirit of Knowledge and the Fear of The LORD.

What begins as a small and seemingly insignificant appearance (SHOOT) time or moment (event) with God when established, strengthened, and matured. Has in its very DNA (ROOT) the potential to become a Mighty and Powerful and Glorious Instrument (Branch) of Use for The Kingdom of God . As Followers of Christ Jesus may we continue in the pursuit of being established, strengthened, and matured; Anointed by The Holy Spirit in Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge. That we might bare the Fruit of Godly Council, Godly Fear, and Divine Power.

I would like to lay out for you a unique building, designed by a Master Architect, and Master builder. This building has been under construction for many many years, but its Blueprint was established and determined in ancient days. Please allow me to paraphrase God’s Word in order to walk us through this massive building project, in several phases of construction.

In Exodus 24:9-12, 32:15 Moses and the elders went up Mt. Sinai, and they saw God. Under his feet was like a pavement of Sapphire. The Lord told Moses to come up to Him and receive The tablets [Luchot ha-Berit in Hebrew has some ancient rabbinical teachings and as well as the Talmud describes them as a translucent blue cube or that when set together formed a 1 cubit cube] of Stone on which His WORD had been written-revealed on BOTH sides. This is the initial phase of Gods Dwelling Place, The establishment of His Foundation the Stone; His Law where His Throne abides.

Moses then asks to see The Glory of God; His Face, the reply given was; there is a Rock and a “cleft in The Rock” where I might hide you, and cover you as I pass by. Exodus 33,34. A Rock where man might stand in God’s Presence, a Blue (2:1) Cube, His Word to guide us and layout the precepts, the building code if you will. Jumping forward many centuries later we are presented with some striking imagery.

In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a statue of gold, silver, bronze, iron and clay, representing the kingdoms of the world, when in the fullness of time A Rock hewn out the The Mountain of God not by human hands was cast at the base of the statue representing the “kingdoms of the world ” were disintegrated and were no more. And the Rock grew until it filled the earth. Daniel 2:24-45 . A Glorious event and a glorious building is now under construction.

Whom do you say I am? You are The Christ (Messiah) Simon declared. And Jesus stated you are Peter (Petros: stone or piece of a bigger rock), and upon this Rock (Petra: Christ….) I will build MY ecclesia (church-Tabernacle/Temple/Tent ). Mt. 16:15-17

This Rock is the cornerstone, the one the builders rejected. We are the living precious stones the “petros” that are fitted together into a Holy tabernacle (Tent, Dwelling place for Gods Glory) 1Pt. 2:4-8; we are the Bride, the Tabernacle of the Lamb. The Fallen Tent of David (Amos 9:11). That which John saw coming down out of heaven The New Jerusalem, is the same cube Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream, that which is shown destroying the kingdoms of this world. Is the same Cube handed to Moses. We must all reach the fullness of Christ in us that is the Hope of Glory. His Word that is Christ Jesus, given in symbolism on a fiery Mountain top, just as He came in the Flesh, to establish His Kingdom, His Will conveyed through His Word/LAW, to build Stone by Precious Stone as we mature and become Like Him, the Word made flesh written on our hearts and minds a building not built with human hands. A Dwelling Place on earth for Him to inhabit while we the Living Precious Stones encircle in Worship our Glorious God and King. Eph. 2:20-22, Ps. 118:22, Is 28:16, Zech 3:8-9

Revelation 21: 15-19
