Chronicles of a Watchman by Dr. James P. Norman Jr.

Satan is the God of this world. Satan as that God has installed into every area of leadership (in the whole world) his form of leadership. A goat or ram’s head on a human body represent the sign of satanic dominance. The church in most places has some form of this from top to bottom. These leaders will make sure that the ministry never will get involved in the biblical purpose of that ministry.           They are not willing to hear the teaching on subjects like faith in the absolute ministry of Jesus. Topics like holiness, healing, deliverance from sin, sickness, and immoral activities they do not want to hear.           Jesus discussed the opposite characteristics of sheep and goats in  Matthew 25 , in the context of the final judgment a shepherd must divide his sheep from the goats. The goat head is the one who leads the sheep to the slaughter. The goat that walks and talks lik...

What on Earth am I here for? PART 2 The second approach to discovering the purpose of life is what I call the Self-help approach.There are thousands and thousands of self-help books. They can be helpful in certain areas but not in the area of knowing your purpose. ~Rick Warren The purpose driven life. From this group you get those who want to be a leader but no committed to see it through. If we do not follow their advice, they leave. These are the same folks who say if it's legal, permitted, and okay in the whole it should be the same in the church (crazy). What on earth am I here for? Why can't we tell God what we want and what he needs to do to answer our faith requests? The "Ecclesia" (ministry gifts) are meant to have a sphere / region of influence where the church impacts society in a far more tangible way and negate the operation of the devil in their designated region. Jesus’ mandate was to destroy the works of the devil. John 3:8 Jeremiah 29:...

Hebrews 4:16 (MSG) The High Priest Who Cried Out in Pain 14-16  Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help. Hebrews 4:11-12 (NKJV) The Word Discovers Our Condition 11  Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12  For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Joshua 24:15  (NKJV) 15  And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord , choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether ...

What do Angels know? Where do Angels get their knowledge from?  Directly from God himself. They know him personally, They have a vital, intimate relationship with the creator of all things. We have already seen time and time again in the lives of saints, Angels dwelling in God’s presence, surrounding his throne, and  worshiping  him. When we consider further that true knowledge of God requires obedience to his commandments (see I John 2:3-5), we can better appreciate the ability of the holy angels to know God. Because they obey his commandments, they can more fully know him.  Our minds were darkened by the fall of the Garden of Eden, but those angels remained loyal to God in the rebellion of Lucifer have had no such shades drawn over their understanding. 1 John 2:3-5 King James Version (KJV) 3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and ...

Today before we enter into this new kind of ministry, there is a matter that needs consideration because a shortcoming here can mean failure elsewhere. I refer to a minister’s capacity to understand people, to work with them, and to get along with them, this ability is necessarily in the realm of the ministry as in any other profession. A warning not to allow yourself to be trained by political correct speech. This will make you common in your effectiveness. To get along with people does not mean that a person has to compromise his principles. Indeed, if he does that, in the end he will probably lose favor with both God and man. But he must be able to win people’s confidence before he can help them. You must always be open to use unusual faith for real miracles, and by no means allow yourself to fail in sins that are accepted by the norm. There is a success by mans standards and one that is accepted by the working of God’s word. The gospel is good news, the greatest story ...

The Lord of the Harvest Who controls the harvest?  For churches who will wage the war and garner the harvest, there will be colossal growth. We must come to expect churches of ten thousand plus. There will be colossal growth.  Yet, many Christians have been so beat down that they find it difficult to believe God for such a harvest More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.  This earth and its inhabitants by judicial right belongs to God. Although, the devil is the Prince of the Power of the Air, this planet does not belong to him. This earth and it’s inhabitants by judicial right belongs to God. “The earth is the Lords and all its fullness.” Psalms 24:1              Humanity does not belong to Satan but to God. If smart ideas could get the job done, then our seminaries should be lighthouses of evangelistic genius, with no unevangelized people for miles around.  No, Satan is not in...

Col. 4: 2-4. 5 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; With all praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of the utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let my speech be, always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. Jesus Christ is preeminent in the church as its creator and savior. He is its life and leader, and to him alone may the church submit. The whole body must remain rooted and grounded in him. Rather than become enchanted with empty speculation and traditions. Jesus Christ is supreme in salvation. Man and church doctrine have become the real savior as if God just supplies the words and the atmosphere. In him (Jesus) all man-made distinctions fade and barriers fall. Man is deciding what is truth for the day. The barriers ...

An Artesian Well is a pump-less “water source” that uses pipes to allow underground water that is under pressure to rise to the surface. This type of well seems to defy gravity because the pressure that builds up between layers of rock gets relieved when water finds a path to the open air.  In addition, the water has been naturally filtered because it passes through porous rock as it seeps into the earth to reach the aquifer, which is the underground water source. For centuries, people have drilled artesian wells to drink filtered water that doesn't need to be manually or mechanically hauled up from the depths. Porous stone is sandwiched between a top and bottom layer of an impermeable substance, such as clay, soil or shale rock. This keeps the water pressure high, so that at a point below the entryway of the flow, there is enough pressure to bring the water up when the pressure is released. Natural springs form in the same way when a gap in the impermeable rock perhaps triggere...
