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

There are two kinds of wisdom the first being from The Holy Spirit. It has distinctive marks. It is pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated and full of mercy. It produces good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. The second is not from the Holy Spirit. It is ungodly and has envy strife, boastfulness, lying and confusion as its distinctive marks. (1 Corinthians 14:33) True Revelation and Direction comes from a Believer’s Spirit and is from the Holy Spirit. If revelation comes from the soul it is worldly, if it comes from the body it is lustful False revelation and false direction comes from demonic control. The “spiritual” man receives the “hidden wisdom”, the “soulish” man cannot receive it. For further study, see break down and related scriptures (nkjv and comp) of 1 Corinthians 2:7-15 below. 1 Corinthians 2:1-3 Not with human oratory of wisdom. 1 Corinthians 2:.4-5 - Human weakness supernaturally attested and empowered by the Holy Spirit (comp. Rom. 15:18-19; Co...

We are going to confront a stronghold of immense proportions. It is a way of thinking that exists unchecked in most churches from top to bottom. We will expose, and then destroy, the hiding places of Jezebel. Rev. 2:20 - Understanding The Spirit Of Jezebel But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads my bond-servants astray, so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. Spiritual Warfare And Prayer The spirit of Jezebel doesn’t work alone, she has a network. The Jezebel spirit is the most wicked of spirits. Historically, the rise and fall of spiritual power within the Church of Christ has been related to the acknowledgement and opposition toward demonic principalities and powers.   You are in a spiritual war whether you want to be or not. There are high level spiritual assignments against you and the Church. One of the most powerful is the Jezebel spi...

  In a fact of God Holiness is moral purity, not only in the sense of absence of all moral stain, but of complacency in all moral good. God is holy in that he is the source and standard of the right. The only rule for the divine will is the divine reason: the divine reason prescribes everything that is befitting. God is not under law, nor above law. God is law.   Let’s talk for a moment what Satan has chosen to do in the face of this. He has chosen to kill and to steal anything that would allow the works of God to lead us. He will try to destroy the true church and undertake the development of true holiness the way God is.The Word of God is not paper and ink. It is God’s plan for man. God is righteous by nature and necessity…God is the source and author of law for all moral beings. Satan has been so clever in keeping our saints attention on things that look so easy and so humanly natural.   We may have a better definition of holiness by saying that holiness is that...

THE SPIRIT FILLED LIFE (part one) You know when God comes in he doesn’t come in to abide. He comes in to take over! Where there is holy worship, he takes over. Let’s try some problem solving by the word of God! 1.       See that there is a problem 2.       Examine the problem 3.       See what the word says about the  problem 4.       Put yourself in the problem as a problem solver 5.       Solve the problem with strong ACTION 6.       Then move to the next problem CHURCH GOING CHRISTIANS   Jesus had a role to play in the Christian. Jesus is in our lives, as savior but Jesus Christ has been the object but not the origin. My moves must come from him as the origin. My moves must come from him as the origin not just going to heaven. He must be the object as well as the origin of all my activity. He must...

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! Every oblation of the meat offering shall though season with salt; neither shall you suffer the salt of the covenant of the God to be lacking from the meat offering, with all your offerings you shall offer salt. (Lev 2:13) Under no circ...

Women in Holiness (Inner & Outward Peace) 1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." First let's look at the Dictionary's meaning of a few words. Holiness : The quality or state of being holy; sanctity. Holy: Dedicated or devoted to the service of God, the church, or religion: a holy man. saintly; godly; pious; devout: a holy life. Having a spiritually pure quality: Sanctified : To set apart to a sacred purpose or to religious use: consecrate: to free from sin: purify: to impart or impute sacredness, inviolability, or respect to: to give moral or ...

The spirit of Jezebel doesn't work alone, she has a network.  This spirit is the most wicked of spirits.  Historically, the rise and fall of spiritual power within the Church of Christ Jesus has been related to the acknowledgement and opposition toward demonic principalities and powers.  When church leaders tell you what you can read, who you can and cannot fellowship with because you are with the only ones who have the truth you must run for the door and find deliverance in the Gifts of the Spirit, and the total word of God.  One of the strongest spirits that begin to distort the Word of God is that which changes your stand on moral, and family issues.  Remember no one has ever saved anyone without Jesus' ministry, and no one has ever delivered anyone but by the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit.  If this is not enough, they say they are operating under the authority, and anointing of the ministry of Jesus.  The spirit of whoredom and Jezebe...

The three constituents of faith may be illustrated from the (1) thoughts, (2) feelings, (3) actions of a person who stand by a boat, upon a little island which the rising stream threatens to submerge. He first regards the boat from a purely intellectual point of view which it is merely an actual existing boat.  Second, as the stream rises, he looks at it with some accession of emotion, his prospective danger awakens in him the conviction that it is a good boat for a time of need though he is not yet ready to make use of it. Third, when he feels that the rushing tide must otherwise sweep him away, a volitional element is added, he then gets into the boat, trusts himself to it, accepts it as his present and only means of safety. Only this last faith in the boat is faith that saves.  Although this last includes the preceding.  It is equally clear that the getting into the boat may actually save the man, while at the same time, he may be full of fears that the boat will n...

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...

We should be allowing the Spirit of Faith to advance us further, and further into the victories against evil, and satanic spirits.   This revelation is still made available to us who are called into the Five-Fold ministry.   Each office, by title and call, still has that access into another’s office, or call to profit the whole body of Christ.   1 Thessalonians 2:1 says that it’s obvious that our coming here was no waste of time.   We have been given a lot of rough treatment over the years, as you know, but that hasn’t slowed us down or stopped us to this day.   We are sure of ourselves in God, and are going right ahead presenting God’s message to you in defiant opposition to evil and biblical error.   God is constantly training us thoroughly to make sure we are qualified to be trusted with this message.   Be assured that when we speak to you we are not after crowd approval but God’s approval.   Since we’ve been put through the battery of...
