the new watchman’s adventure: a night of many tongues and messages.

2022-10-26 A-Life

An abridged account on a spiritual adventure praying in tongue from the recent new watchman’s notes. Woke at 3am after two hours of sleep. Caught up with a few days’ arrears in one year of Bible reading.

Reading of the day (42nd Week Day2): Psalm 116:7 restore to your rest, o my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. Continued with 8, 9, 10, 15.

42nd Week Day 3: Jeremiah (30-31) 30:10,11,12,13,15,17,18-20; 31:2,3,6,10,11,12,13,14,16,17.

For three hours the watchman prayed in tongues while reading the Bible verses and in understanding from time to time to say Amen to the promises as prompted in his spirit. Assured in 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him (Jesus Christ) are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. God has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 1:22.

Excerpts of spoken tongues in interpretations (word by word as they came) towards the last part of the three hours in the presence of the Lord.

“The void is filled by God.”

“Do not stray your thoughts, come back, and stay your rest with Me, wait in Me.”

“the dawn, the dawn light has come.”

“lift up your voice and sing to the Lord.”

“wait a while, rest a while, and be re-charged.”

(“thank you Lord”, said the watchman in the spirit and interpreted too!)

“”say to my soul, don’t you know? “

“The hills are full of stocks. And the Shepherd is shepherding. Leading, leading. leading. And His sheep hear His voice and keep in steps. They hear, and they step, they hear, and they step, step by step, step by step, to the green pasture, the river of living water.”

“The blind will see, the lame will leap forward, never stumble, never fall.”

“Hear the trumpet sound, in the East, in the West, in the islands.”

“The Lord is God, the Lord is God, praise Him, praise Him, praise the Lord!”

The second part came in messages in the heart (as thoughts) after the tongues and interpretation:

“Your work is not wasted., the voice of your work.”

“I have programmed your voice in your belly. I have set the algorithm voice in your belly. That’s how you know Me. That’s why you know Me. My Spirit sets off the charge.”

“Soul, don’t be proud, Don’t make noise that means nothing. Don’t think that it’s hard to know Me.”.

P/s: the watchman recalled that prior going to bed on the previous night before the above session in tongues, he was reading 2 Corinthians 1:20, 22, and 24 which read: for by faith you stand.

After the session, the watchman re-read the verse from Jeremiah who seemed to have the same issue with sleeping less hours than needed. 31:26 After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was sweet to me. O that he too could have sweet sleep after the work that the Lord assured was not in vain.

Vision: Colossians (1-3) in diagrams

2022-05-03 A-Life

Last night I asked the Lord to let me see vision, and I was told to read Colossians 3. I asked why. And I received this answer in my heart: This is how I made you, a person of words. You can see the visions through the words. Here they are. My visions through the Word.

Colossians 1-3

How do we know whether everlasting is really everlasting?

2021-12-232021-12-23 A-Life

Why do some see and some cannot? For example, when we come to the word “everlasting”, can I believe without seeing it with my physical eyes? How do I know it will take place if I cannot see it manifesting and besides no one has been through everlasting, so how can anyone know it is true? These were the questions I have asked before I became convinced that there is an everlasting in terms of time.

There is a character in Lewis’ Narnia book named Lucy who can see and hear what others cannot. And she knows what she sees is true. It took her siblings sometime to see and hear the audible voice of the supernatural being Aslan, the Lion. This is Aslan’s explanation to another two children Digory and friend Polly who can see him and receive comfort from him, the miserable uncle Andrew cannot:

“But I cannot tell that to this old sinner, and I cannot comfort him either; he has made himself unable to hear my voice. If I spoke to him, he would hear only growling and roarings. Oh, Adam’s son, how cleverly you defend yourself against all that might do you good!”― C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

Either you want to see, hear and believe God, or you can make yourself unable to hear Him and discard the truth about His existence. The same for belief or unbelief of His words, such as, everlasting does exists.

A dictionary for navigators on spiritual rough waters chapter 6: continuing indefinitely -from everlasting to everlasting

God’s everlasting love

“Everlasting” means continuing indefinitely.

These words have been used with the adjective Everlasting in the Bible: love, life, covenant, possession, joy, God, Father, King, light, rule, righteousness. They are all about God. Who He is and what He has given us.

All verses are quoted from New King James Version

2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

Romans 8:30-32 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

John 3:15-17 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:

“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;

Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

4 Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt,

O virgin of Israel!

You shall again be adorned with your tambourines,

And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.

Isaiah 61:7-9 7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,

And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.

Therefore in their land they shall possess double;

Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;

I hate robbery for burnt offering;

I will direct their work in truth,

And will make with them an everlasting covenant.

9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,

And their offspring among the people.

All who see them shall acknowledge them,

That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”

I am convinced of the existence of everlasting. All to do with God. Who He is and what He gives. That is why I must include this word in the selection of Bible words starting with E. In my previous post I studied the word END, which is not the end. Today’s everlasting word tells us that there is an existence for us to go on indefinitely. Be comforted. “Courage, dear heart!”

Daniel 12:11the day the worship ends

2021-12-042021-12-04 A-Life

Has “the day when worship stops” already started? Why does anyone want to stop the praise and worship of God? Is there a spiritual power in the physical congregation worshiping God together giving the sacrifices of our voices singing in unison? Can believers be spiritually united in attending virtual Sunday services? Or is there a veil in the virtual digitally accessed “space” that has blocked our worship? Is there a power in human sound made without AI(digital) interference?

Note the key phrase in Daniel 12:11 is “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away“.

What kind of sacrifice? Is there a spiritual power in the physical congregation worshiping God together giving the sacrifices of our voices singing in unison? Jesus has declared that God is Spirit and requires worship in spirit and in truth. Jesus repeatedly commanded the disciples to be united in His love and stay united. Can believers be spiritually united in attending virtual Sunday services? Or is there a veil in the virtual digitally accessed “space” that has blocked our worship? What does the Holy Spirit remind us of this requirement of worshiping together unity (in physical worship) in Hebrews 10:25?

Why does the Holy Spirit speak at length about the sacrifice of Jesus, the kind of worship (sacrifice) we are giving together with the heavenly company in Hebrews 12:22-24, and concludes in Hebrews 13:15 “Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to His name” ?

Hebrews 12:22-28

²²No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. ²³You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect. ²⁴You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel.

²⁵Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! ²⁶When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.”^[k] ²⁷This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.

²⁸Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. ²⁹For our God is a devouring fire.

Some clues from several randomly selected often traditionally read and quoted commentaries about the time referred to by the messenger of God in Daniel 12:11.

Quote: “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.And from the time – Though the angel had said Daniel 12:4, Daniel 12:9 that his communication was closed, and that he imparted all that he was commissioned to communicate to Daniel, yet, as it would seem, in reply to the earnest request of Daniel, he volunteers an additional statement, in regard to certain important periods that were to occur in the future…The statement relates to certain periods that would succeed the time when the daily sacrifice would be taken away. Two such periods are mentioned as marking important epochs in the future. That the daily sacrifice shall be taken away – This is the point of reckoning – the terminus a quo. The “taking away of the daily sacrifice” refers, undoubtedly, to some act, or some state of things, by which it would be made to cease. ” Unquote (Barnes)

Quote: “The abomination that maketh desolate set up – I believe, with Bp. Newton, that this is a proverbial phrase; and may be applied to any thing substituted in the place of, or set up in opposition to, the ordinances of God, his worship, his truth, etc.” Unquote (Adam Clarke)

Quote: “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,…. This is in part an answer to the above questions, as they relate to the end of things: some dates are given, by which it might in general be known when and how these things would end: and these dates begin with the removal of the daily sacrifice; that is, the doctrine of atonement and satisfaction for sin by the sacrifice of Christ, the antitype of the daily sacrifice under the law; this was taken away by antichrist, when he got to his height; when he established the doctrine of works, and opposed the merits of men to the merits of Christ, and his own pardons, indulgences, penances, &c. to the satisfaction of Christ:

and the abomination that maketh desolate; …there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days; from the beginning of the reign of antichrist to the end of it are one thousand two hundred and sixty days or years, or forty two months, which is the same, according to Revelation 13:5, here thirty days or years are added, which begin where the other end, and is the time allotted for the conversion of the Jews, and other things, making way for the kingdom of Christ; and which the reign of antichrist was an hinderance of, but should now immediately take place.

A Shelter in the Time of Storm (hymn) 0n this 2021-12-01 day

2021-12-01 A-Life

’tis the season to remember the old days of singing, Scripture based hymns. Here is one on the supernatural Shelter in the time of storm.

The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide,A Shelter in the time of storm;Secure whatever ill betide,A Shelter in the time of storm.Refrain:Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,A weary land, a weary land;Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,A Shelter in the time of storm.A shade by day, defense by night,A Shelter in the time of storm;No fears alarm, no foes afright, A Shelter in the time of storm.The raging storms may round us beat,A Shelter in the time of storm;We’ll never leave our safe Retreat,A Shelter in the time of storm.O Rock divine, O Refuge dear,A Shelter in the time of storm;Be Thou our Helper ever near,A Shelter in the time of storm. (Vernon J. Charlesworth, ca.1880) Scripture: Psalm 94:22; Isaiah 25:4; 32:2

Great hymns are never outdated. As I listened to the instrument without watching the screen, some lyrics appeared from the depth of my heart which imprint did not age even after decades of being surrounded by Christian media of contemporary Christian worship songs. These are the Bible verses that arise as the music leads me to think about God’s reality in my life.

In Deuteronomy 31:6,8 God spoke to Joshua about His plan for him: ⁶So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” ⁸Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” God spoke the same words twice.

In Hebrews 13:5-6 God again reiterated that His people should not be afraid of what other men might do to them (e.g. the threat of forced poverty and deprivation of worldly goods). “For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ⁶So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”” God is not a God of lack. God is the Shelter. Our Shelter.
