Hello I am watchman

I get my nic from Ezekiel 33 When god spoke to mne just as He did Ezekiel and said

Ezekiel 33
7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

So how is it watching over Israel?

And standing on the wall?

Well i do not think Ezekiel ever stood on the wall himself, and I am watching over the church. How is it, you ask? Heart breaking, warning the disobedient, supporting the feeble minded, comforting the weak doing good in the sight of all men is harder than it sounds.

The whole church?

That must be some wall...

So if God said the same thing to you that he did to Ezekiel did he cut and paste and forget to change Israel to the church?

Ok so that is your position, certainly not the only position.

But are you the watchman for the whole church?

Oh, he's not a smart guy. You just need to get to know him...after only a couple posts you could not possibly know him that well....

Re: Hello I am watchman

I am a watchman to the bride, and a missionary to the luke warm, apostate church. To try and turn them to the truth before they are expelled from body.
