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

TO BE IN CHRIST – SALT (PART FOUR) Salt speaks of the risen life of Jesus Christ, imparted by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to the redeemed sinner. It is the salt for barrenness! As you have been reconciled to God by his death, you are constantly to be saved by his life. It is only the life of the Lord Jesus, his activity, clothed with you and displayed through you that ultimately will find the approval of God. As a forgiven sinner, you are a member of a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ (I Peter 2:5). It is that Lord Jesus Christ alone who makes your sacrifices acceptable to God. Only what he does in you and through you merits his approval and God can and will accept nothing less!

HEALING AND DIVINE HEALTH If one wants healing, health, success, happiness and prosperity from God through the gospel, he must first of all learn the lesson and learn it well.

God has made it very plain that he giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; ask in Faith and it shall be given him. Most churches today, (denominations...

People often ask me, “How are you all still standing?” Those who walk by sight and crunch numbers are befuddled as to why we at Artesian Well Church, are thoroughly prepared to advance the Kingdom of God. We do so by carefully arming ourselves with praise and worship, filling our spirit with the Words of Jesus, and by crying out to the Lord as we seek Him earnestly. The importance of winning the battle against the spiritual forces of evil is a necessary prerequisite for unlocking our spiritual sight (Ephesians 6:12). Our Opponents: Demonic Spirits and Their Schemes The spiritual battle with evil supernatural forces far surpasses all of our imagination. Satan’s subordinates come singly. The demons repeatedly scatter and reunite to attack according to the situation. The when one is chased away, by a prayer, the evil spirit moves on to the next target with teasing, poking, tempting and sometimes with whispers of sweet-talk, and finally, when their identity is exposed, the qui...
