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...

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 ...

Sin makes the blood of Jesus Christ precious, and valuable.  The blood of Jesus Christ is precious because of its redeeming power.  It's power to acquire back everything that was lost by Adam.  According to Hebrews 9:22, without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. Had Christ possessed only a human nature, he could not have been without sin.  But life can draw out of the putrid clod materials for its own living.  Having the odor of decaying flesh.  Divine life appropriates the human.  What with us is regeneration the saving the soul, re-activating the spirit of man, is with Him (Christ) the incarnation of God.  The power of that regeneration to be in the cleansing of the sins by the precious blood (Acts 20:28).  Many years ago as our ministry grew, one of many set-backs came when we lost a building.  The late Dr. Roy Hicks called Kathy and I and asked us to meet him at that empty church for prayer.  The main thing...
