End Times Witnessing: Let your heart burst forth with new songs for the Lord amidst the stormy waves

Today the watchman heard, “Let your heart burst forth with songs amidst the storm! sing, O watchman!!

Isaiah 25:5 You will reduce the noise of aliens, As heat in a dry place; As heat in the shadow of a cloud, The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.”
Psalm 68:1 [ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. ] “Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.”

He was surrounded by unceasing broadcasting waves of alien prayers and festive proclamations of the greatness of alien god(s). He knew in his spirit that the noise could become more and more intensive until the earth is swarmed with these noises (like locusts). So he drove away from the city and burst into a new song for the Lord God Almighty in heaven, his strength, his shield, his rock.
The melodies come without his own effort. He has never read music. He merely let the Spirit of Christ take charge and submit to the beautiful sound in his spirit.
Singing to the Lord is required of all Christians. “Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.” (Col.3:16)
Having been given this gift of effortless singing (with a ‘divine voice-box’), he is able to fulfill this requirement miraculously, considering his previous ‘handicap’ in this area of specialty.
He sang and prayed that the same new songs be burst forth in every Christian. He believes this is a free gift for all believers of Jesus Christ, since everyone is required to sing according to the Scripture.
He heard in his spirit, “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” (Zech.4:10)
Yes, your mission is to sing new songs to the Lord. You don’t need any musical instrument. You only need the Holy Spirit. “Then he said to me, “This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” (Zech.4:6)
In a recent vision, he saw the power in spiritual song sung as the Spirit of Christ moved. The song was in praise of the goodness of the Lord God Almighty. In the spiritual realm the light of God manifested and destroyed all darkness hidden in the midst of God’s people.
O Christians, believe! Sing! (You need to practice now as one day soon you will need it to survive)

You are honored to sing for the Lord as described in Revelation 14:3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”

End Times Witnessing: Testimony of a Highly Favored Captive Teacher

Ezra The priest, the highly favored teacher of the lawof the God of heaven (Chapters 7-8)

Being a captive in the enemy’s campis not exactly the life anyone could expect to be successful. Yet there are people of God who have been greatly favored and well established in their professions even in such adverse environment.
The person Ezra, a Jewish scribe well versed in the law of Moses lived in Babylon, the captor’s nation. However, the Persian king regarded him highly and gave him everything he asked for. Ezra attributed this unusual favor to his God, “because the gracious hand of His God was on him” (“because he was determined to study and obey and teach the people of Israel God’s laws”). (7:6,9-10)
The Book of Ezra recorded two major historical break-through for Israel: (1) The Restoration of the Temple (destroyed with the city of Jerusalem in 586 BC by the armies of Babylon). Chapters 1-6 describe God stirred the heart of a Persian king, Cyrus, to issue a decree and Zerubbabel led the first group (49,897 exiles) return to Jerusalem in 538 BC to re-build the temple of God (which was delayed and took 22 years to complete 538-516 BC).
(2) The Reformation of the people of God. Chapters 7-10 describe how God empowered Ezra, a priest teacher of the laws of God, to return to Jerusalem (with a small group of 1,754 exiles) to give spiritual guidance and support to re-build the people of God in 458-457 BC (1 Year). The followings reveal the mighty work of the Lord (the gracious hand of the Lord-the Holy Spirit) in this supernatural episode of Ezra’s life.

In matters concerning God: God moved the heart of another Persian king, Artaxerxes, to sponsor Ezra (with legal authority and financial aid) to return to Jerusalem to enhance temple worship. The king commissioned him to take with him appropriate personnel and treasures for the temple worship. The king also decreed that his official treasurers give Ezra whatever he requests and that no personnel related to the temple of God be required to pay taxes.
In matters concerning the people:
The king commissioned Ezra to appoint magistrates and judges to govern all the people in the province west of the Euphrates River. The only requirement is that they must know the Israelite God’s laws! The king also commissioned Ezra to teach the law to anyone who does not know it. “Anyone who refuses to obey the law of your God and law of the king will be punished immediately, either by death, banishment, confiscation of goods or imprisonment.” (Ezra 7:26)
CHAPTER EIGHT describes a physical journey of faith in action: the journey took over four months on foot from Ahava Canal to Jerusalem : Ezra was indeed a man of God with godly wisdom (as commended by the king). He waited upon the Lord before making big decisions and knew how to listen to the Holy Spirit. This is illustrated as follows:
STRATEGY FOR RIGHT RECRUITS
1. He assembled the exiles who volunteered to return with him at the Ahava Canal and camped there three days. He went over the list to identify whether he had all the personnel needed according to the requirement of God. He took immediate action to fill the gap when he found that there was no Levite exile volunteer.
2.  He identified nine appropriate leaders of the people and two men of discernment to be special envoys to invite Levite exiles to join them. He sent them to the right place for the right recruits. Indeed they succeeded.
STRATEGY FOR RIGHT (SAFE) JOURNEY
1. Fast: He gave orders to all to fast and humble themselves before God.
2. Pray: He led others to earnestly pray that God give a safe journey and protect them, their children, and their goods as they traveled.
3. Faith Confession: He gave testimony to the king, “Our God’s hand of protection is on all who worship Him, but His fierce anger rages against those who abandoned Him.” (8:22)
4. Faith in Action: He appointed 12 leaders of the priests to take charge of transporting the treasures to the temple of God: He declared positively, “You and these treasures have been set apart as holy to the Lord”, “guard these treasures well“. (8:24-25,28-29,30)
RESULTS
(1) PHYSICAL SAFETY: “And the gracious hand of our God protected us and saved us from enemies and bandits along the way. So we arrived safely in Jerusalem, where we rested for three days.” (8:31-32)
(2) SPIRITUAL ACCOUNTABILITY: “On the fourth day after our arrival, the silver, gold and other valuables were weighed at the temple of our God..”, “eeverything was accounted for by number and weight, and the total weight was officially recorded.” (8:33, 34)
(Watchman’s Application: The treasures must be verified by both number and weight. Teaching is same. The outcome (fruit) will be judged according to its quality as well as the quantity assigned to the watchman. Be faithful and be alert to the Holy Spirit’s guidance!)

End Times Witnessing: How do the true worshippers worship God?

The watchman has an urgent message for churches today. Are you a true worshipper?


Jesus states that “true worshipers worship God in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24). Thus only the spiritual man who lives by the Spirit knows how to worship God according to God’s spiritual requirement.


Jesus also states that the Spirit alone gives eternal life, Human effort accomplishes nothing. His words are spirit and life. The Holy Spirit reveals God to us in God’s words (truth). Thus only the spiritual man who discerns and understands the truth in the Word of God know how to worship God according to the plumb line standard of God.


Someone may feel unfairly left behind. How can such a rule be set? But Jesus says, God is Spirit. God is the Word (John 1:1). This is the reason. How else do you think you can reach Him or His wave length unless you become like Him? if you believe in God you just have to follow His standard (plumb line). Otherwise you need not attempt to reach Him as He does not know you.


The watchman too had once been worshipping in his soul (mind and emotion) for a long time, until one day when his spirit man was waken as he submitted to the Holy Spirit. God does not want anyone left behind. He has given every believer of Jesus the Holy Spirit and a measure of faith.


2 Corinthians 5:7 “We live by faith, not by sight.” Indeed, by faith, you too can receive the benefits of the Holy Spirit just as any other believers who submit themselves to God. Many have lived by faith and worshipped God in the way He wants.


Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:27 By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. 11:28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel. 11:29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned. 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.


Who would in his sane mind would leave his long established successful and prosperous home ground and want to go to a place which location he does not even know? Who would in his sane mind forego all the palace prestige and comfort as a prince and go into the desert as a fugitive? Who would in his sane mind would want to carry out the cumbersome rituals involving the passover lamb-sprinkling of blood? Who would in their sane mind would want to walk on the sudden appearance of land in the midst of roaring deep blue sea to the shore beyond? Who in their sane mind would want to march in silence seven times round a strong fortified city for seven days expecting the walls to fall by themselves amidst trumpet sound and people shouting?


No one with ‘sane’ mind (according to the natural standard of this world) would do any of the above acts. But they are all acts of faith by people of faith. They believe in a supernatural God wholeheartedly. They cannot see the Holy Spirit but they believe. They follow obediently and faithfully.


When acts of faith take shape in the physical realm, they in fact mirror supernatural actions in the spiritual realm.


God has given every believer of Jesus the same capacity to receive good gifts by faith. Galatians 3:14 He (Jesus) redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.


Yes, you can be the true worshipper God is looking for. Today, when you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. There may not be another opportunity. Open your heart and receive. Submit and let the Holy Spirit and the Word of God raise you to the faith level He has already given you.


There is no option but to worship the true God Almighty, because you need protection from all evil (more so in this end time). Ezra 8:22 “Our God’s hand of protection is on all who worship Him.” The priest teacher so declared to the alien king (who believed too). 8:23 “So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and He heard our prayer.” Thus, Ezra and company traveled for four months on foot and arrived safely with their children, their goods and above all the treasures that the priests were entrusted to carry to the temple of God in Jerusalem.


“And the gracious hand of our God protected us and saved us from enemies and bandits along the way.” (Ezra 8:31)


In spirit means in spirit, not in mind, not in emotion. Worship in spirit today! In truth means in the Word of God, not in your words, not in man’s words, not in words from your own mind. Worship in truth today! Otherwise, You have no effective protection.

End Times Witnessing: Overcome hard times, tap into God and Live!

The intercessor/watchman speaker says, “On the Last Day, if you don’t know how to tap into God, you won’t survive.”
This statement has the greatest impact on the watchman during a recent conference.On this journey in the Holy Spirit, the more he walked the narrow path, and watch, the more he knew, every word said by the Lord is true and real. No flesh can survive. If your spirit man does not wake up soon you will perish like the rest. Now that hard times are here to stay, how does a Christian expect to withstand the even harder times ahead? No option except being part of the body of Christ, living by faith and by the Holy Spirit.
On the other hand, if you tap into the living God just as Yeshua (Jesus) said, be the branches of His vine, you will not only survive, you will live supernaturally and above the world-wide crumbling systems and structures made by mortal men.Your supplies of resources will never run dry. Your barns will be always full. You will be a blessing to many. You will be the head and not the tail. You will be the lender and not the borrower. Apart from Jesus you can do nothing. (John 15:5)
Men are created to live supernaturally. When men fell into sin in the Garden of Eden, men lost the sensitivity to the spiritual realm and its reality, and could only rely on brute strength (flesh: i.e. body and mind) to survive. But Jesus came and changed that limitation. He brought men back to the spiritual realm and its power to overcome the mortal man’s limitations (in flesh).
John 1:12-13 “But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn-not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.”
There are however two spiritual realms: that of God and that of the devil. Choose the Jesus Gate and you will enter the right spiritual realm through having the Holy Spirit in you. Only the Holy Spirit in you can point you to the truth of God and the truth of God can set you free.
Choose the Jesus Gate and you will enter into God’s rest. Only by abiding in Christ Jesus, you will have security in this life and the next, i.e. in eternity. Through the Holy Spirit, you can tap into God and live the super-abundant life Jesus has promised to His believers and followers. (John 10:10)
__________________________________
The following are relevant verses spoken by Jesus for His own people (Christians and Messianic Jews) to know and practice:
John 6:63 “The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.”
John 16:13 “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. he will not speak on His own but will tell you what He has heard. He will tell you about the future. He will bring Me glory by telling you whatever He receives from Me.”
John 15:7-8 ” But if you remain in Me and My words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted When you produce much fruit, you are My true disciples. This bring great glory to My Father! “
John 14:21 “Those who accept My commandments and obey them are the ones who love Me. And because they love Me, My Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal Myself to each of them.
John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
John 14:12I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!”
John 17:3 (Jesus’ prayer to the Father in heaven for His disciples and all believers) “And this is the way to eternal life-to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the One You sent to earth.” 17:11 “Holy Father, You have given Me Your name; now protect them by the power of Your name so that they will be united just as We are.”
John 17:17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. 18 Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. 19 And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.
20I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. 21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
22I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. 23 I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.”
There are such depths and reality in these words of the Lord. Read them over and over and ask the Holy Spirit to burn them in your hearts, my brethren. Be the supernatural man the Lord has designed us to be!
In His prayer to the Father, Jesus promised that He will continue to reveal the Father to us.Then Your love for Me will be in them, and I will be in them.” (John 17:26)
Clues and Keys for Christian End Times Survival:
1. Abide in Christ Yeshua (Jesus); let His Word abide in you.
2. Live supernaturally by the Spirit of Christ (the Holy Spirit)
3. Ask for supplies from heaven in the name of the Lord (Yeshua Christ)
4. Ask for revelations from the Holy Spirit.
5. Align with God through listening and obeying the Holy Spirit (in the Word of God)
6. Submit to and obey you Commander-in-Chief, the Holy Spirit.

End Times Witnessing: three days of many visions for a watchman

The night of many (eight) visions could only happen to Zechariah, the watchman once thought. He had once seen about eight or nine visions on one sleepless night. Some of them related to family matters and some on matters pertaining to God. But he was young in the Spirit then and could not understand.

Recently he was given the same opportunity when he attended three-days conference for intercessors/watchmen. The number of visions and the frequency overwhelmed him. He tried to record some and most times he could only give thanks to the awesome God.

The  visions came as soon as he closed his eyes. There were so many and he just could not keep count or ask the Lord what they meant. However, some were clear and meant something so important that he had recalled and recorded them.
Vision One: Vision of Fiery Darts and Fishes
During the time when the name of Yeshua (Jesus) was lifted high (in songs) and the prayer leader (an elderly veteran grandma intercessor) led the group and cried out the name of the Lord over and over, while singing and praying in the Spirit, the watchman saw fiery darts like meteoric shower flying at lightning speed at a shield above the leader's head. They were coming at full force but were all quenched. Then he saw numerous fishes (countless like the meteoric shower) flowing toward the entrance of a large pipeline in the ocean, all being drawn and sucked into the entrance from all over the ocean. All these went on as the name of Yeshua was being lifted up.
Vision Two:  Vision of crosses and churches
The watchman asked the Lord to show him a cross. Then he saw a cross in shadow. So he asked the Lord what it meant. He was told that it was a sum total of the the crosses in the participants. The next day he saw a cross outline. The second day afternoon he saw a cross with bright light and one stained with spots. He was told the bright one was a sum total. But the one with spot was one stained with the blood of the Lamb of God (prior to that vision he was reading the verses of the Lord's shedding His blood to save us as he was concerned by the 'holy laughter' (the joy of the Holy Spirit manifesting) of some members. The lone cross (with the blood) was in answer to his concern.
He also asked to see his own cross: on the first day he saw half a cross. The second day he saw the whole cross (wooden with grains) and it was really close-up like a 3-D screen being scrolled showing parts of it stretching from top to bottom. But he could not see the foot of the cross as it reached down to further depth.
Vision Three: Different perspectives of church building and crosses
On the last day he saw two perspective of  church (individual and corporate body of Christ) buildings. In the first scene he saw a huge wall with a small gate. The wall is so huge and tall and he could not see its top. He was told that he is building this in his Bible class and for himself (and his family) too. The walls stretch heaven-ward and will totally separate them from the world (its system) and fulfill God's requirement.
In the second scene he saw an aerial view of churches. They are blocks of squarish buildings, all in darkness and have no details. Everyone looks the same, all lining up like factory buildings. But they all have a cross-shape empty courtyard space in the center. The cross is what the Lord sees from above. As the watchman looked, he saw one cross-shape starting to build a fire (altar?) and he could see golden flames sparkling and thin line of the top of it to reach upward to heaven (the flames are the prayers of the church like the altar of incense). In another church instead of bright golden flames, black smoke came out and also rose to the sky. It was really quite a frightful sight to see from the aerial view. Nothing matters except the sum total of what matters to the Lord.
None of the church stood out for their building structures and constructions or sizes (number of congregation). They were all the same square boxes, same dark colors, all line up like waiting to be inspected. Viewing from heaven, only the cross is visible. The rest is blurred and undistinguished.
Vision Four: Snow and Winter everywhere
It was the first time the watchman saw snow scenes occurring so often in his visions. Wilderness. Snow-covered  streets emptied of lives. Snow-covered landscapes. During the teaching by a speaker on end times, he saw her standing in the wilderness, half shielded by dark trees (or bushes), while an avalanche of snow rolled toward her and soon her leg were half covered in snow but she continued preaching.
Vision Five:  The Lord on His throne on eagle wings
This was a wonderful and beautiful vision.  The watchman saw the Lord Yeshua (the King of kings) sitting on His throne, in brilliant light and the throne was on a pair of eagles wings. The eagle wings stretched across the whole horizon and there was no end to its tips. The wings covered the whole ocean and the bright light was atop the wings. The ocean could not even stir a wave. It was totally subdued.
Vision Six: Crystal Sword of the Spirit
He saw a Crystal sword when a speaker was preaching the Words of God.  The beautiful transparent sword appeared behind and and he was astounded. He was told it is what the Sword of the Spirit look like, not like human sword but pure and sharp (like diamond) and cuts through every stronghold.
Vision Seven: Spirit Song Banner
While a person burst into a spirit song, it was soft and gentle, but indeed powerful. He saw a vision of a banner (sort of golden) above her. Then it began to suck in a long thick line of black cloud (or smoke), like a magnate and the dark thing was simply sucked in to the golden banner and vanished as soon as it touched the banner. Soon there was no darkness left!
Vision Eight:  The Vision of end times star war
It was a puzzle at first when the watchman saw an outer space shuttle scrolling over the screen of his vision. Then he realized it was because the songs and prayers for all nations were sung and prayed.  This is the first time he sees such high tech vision of how all nations are being covered. The earth is merely a tiny globe and it is a view from above that he has never seen before in the spiritual realm.
