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:...

THE BIBLE, YOUR DAILY NEWSPAPER As a bible teacher, I read the bible like it was a daily newspaper of current events. Mark 13:14 Holy Scripture- Great Inspired Tribulation 14: Jesus picked up the inspired apocalyptic language of Daniel’s prophecy. Apparently Jesus pointed to the Roman destruction of the Jewish temple in A.D 10 and beyond that to the second coming, showing scripture is opened to renewed understanding and fulfillment for different generations. God has new things to reveal from his word. Last things, great tribulation-the phrase abomination that causes desolation comes verbatim from Dan. 9:27; 11:31;12:11. Abomination is a term that describes sacrilege such as the profaning of a holy place. Many believe Daniel’s prophecy had immediate reference to the unclean sacrifices in the Jerusalem temple by the Romans in A.D 10 Romans 1:28-32 28-Intellectual Nature- Turning to Abominations Abomination (depraved) normally descr...

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 ...

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 ...

Exodus 15:26 reveals I am Jehovah that Healeth Thee. The purpose of this message is to establish within you the fact that beyond all shadow of doubt God Wants to Heal You.   God has no tolerance for the destructive behavior of wicked Christians, but rather they turn to righteousness.   He has placed in the Body of Christ that will, the raising the dead, healing the sick, destroying the false prophets, and can see revival spread out through their land.   Those who accepted walked with great favor, great anointing, and God was their friend.   The early Church believed in miracles.   They prayed for miracles and expected them.   This was not expectancy by a few, but by everyone, and according to their faith, it was done unto them: They were healed. Everyone.   They had never seen our Lord Jesus Christ refuse anyone.   He never turned any away.   None ever applied to Him for healing in vain.   The early Church was following His...
