3 Elul in Isra’el – Rosh Hashanah is September 29!

IN THIS ISSUE – We hope you had a great and blessed Labor Day Weekend! In this issue of The Night Watch News there is a critical article for all of us in the Blessing Section. There are great monthly and other reports, below, too. Be sure and pray for Isra'el. It's critical as stated in the Messianic section. God Bless You and enjoy this issue of The Night Watch News!

THOUGHT – “Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers.” - John Jay, Founding Father, Patriot, and America’s First Supreme Court Justice

SCRIPTURE – “…One more time I will shake not only the Earth, but Heaven, too!” Hebrews 12:26

BLESSING – We often discuss and teach concerning “Radical True Biblical Christianity,” but it goes much much deeper than that. In fact, the true root issue is actually “Radical True Biblical Salvation.” Radical True Biblical Salvation” will always generate “Radical True Biblical Christianity and lifestyle.” There is a passion and zeal that naturally flows when a person is truly regenerated, and thus saved, by Holy Spirit. There is fruit that one can see most of the time that comes from a truly saved person. I think it is especially true in the Last Days that we will really know one another by the Spirit. There is a key in all this. It is found in the words “Born Again.” We need to begin taking this phrase literally and not just as a metaphor. When we are truly born again, we are really born again. Everything in our lives just changed. We were born all over again, and this time in the Spirit. If there is no real regeneration of born again experience, there was and is no salvation. It's that cut and dried. It's that simple.

I know this will be controversial, but someone has to say it. At Night Watch Ministries we love you, and we are dedicated and obligated to the truth and giving you what God has for you. So here goes.... We get e-mails almost every day that go like this. “My son is saved, but he has been an alcoholic for 30 years, and he has this problem with drugs, and he has been a homosexual for 25 years married to two women and now two guys, divorced several times. Pray for his deliverance. He is a Christian who does not know any better, and he is all bound up. He was baptized when he was nine years old, and I know his soul is saved.” This is simply not true according to the Word of God. It is true only in our imaginations and badly wrong interpretation of Scripture. God’s Word says blessed in the man who finishes well, but woe to he who does not. It does not matter where anyone starts. What matters is how he finishes. The Bible says clearly that if we stay in our sins, we are not truly saved and will not not see Heaven. I understand that there really are people with life-long issues who struggle but love God. I am so glad that God is judge and will sort it all out Himself. But there are two issues that are huge in these kinds of situations. First, this thinking comes from the natural idea that we just do not want to say or think that our sons and daughters, our relatives, or our close friends could go to hell. We cannot face that reality because it is just so painful. To sweep their lives and sin under the rug is total denial and unscriptural. The other reason we get into these untrue belief systems is due to false doctrines of demons, and heresies that have been around for many many years. There are many teachings that do not hold a person accountable for their lives after their supposed “salvation experience.” These include “unconditional eternal salvation,” “Holy Election and Selection,” wrong definitions, foundations, and teachings on grace, and so on. Paul wrote that God did not give us grace so we could go on sinning. It is NOT a license to sin, period. Really good people believe all this false stuff and mostly because they were taught it growing up or somewhere in their Christian walk. But nothing could be further from the truth. Many passionate and skillful people can make the Bible say anything they want. We need to be honest and not only pray for deliverance, but really also pray for actual true salvation in these cases. Most of the time, the issue is that the person is simply NOT saved.

I know a pastor in Arizona who was quizzing many people and several couples before allowing them to join his church (Modern Church membership is yet another false tradition of man – for another newsletter.). He reported how it broke his heart when he realized all these people were sitting in his church for many years and were not saved. They did not know Jesus with an intimate relationship. It broke his heart as he had to turn most of the applicants down. Some he even led to Jesus in the process. I know two other preachers who had radical salvation experiences well into their ministries many years later. Part of the problem is lack of true discipleship in the Body. God never asked us to make converts. Many ministries are after numbers, especially the bigger ones. After all, that’s how those ministries got bigger. But in the Great Commission, Jesus did not say make "converts." He said to make “disciples.” We need spiritual parents who will work with people to make disciples. Disciple-makers will always take someone deeper, and a person who has been truly and properly discipled will usually not fall away.

So back to true salvation…. I prayed about this many years ago, and the Lord gave me this guideline. “I am not taking anyone to Heaven who does not want to go.” Surely there are many people who will barely make it to the other side by the skin of their teeth, so to speak. But why take the chance and cut it so short? Eternity and where you live forever is the most decision a human will ever make. God has so much for us. He is saving those who radically are for Him and love Him and willing to live for Him and radically want to be with Him. We want to throw out Scriptures that say He can blot our names out of the Lamb’s Book of Life. We ignore Scriptures that say if we do not forgive, there is no forgiveness for us. The Bible says to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. My Complete Jewish Bible says we are saved only as long as we are faithful to our original salvation experience. In other words, showing behavior and actions as fruit of our true salvation experience. I am NOT advocating a works salvation. Salvation is the great Gift of God lest any of us boast. And there are many more Scriptures we could quote. James challenges us to prove our salvation by our works and the fruit of our lives. It is not about your baptism 35 years ago. It is about where you are today, and what did you do since your baptism, and what have you done with your life in Christ? This is why the Fruit of the Spirit is so much more important than the Gifts of the Spirit. Did we allow Him to change us into His image, His character, His servitude, and more? Are we God’s, or are we ourselves actually masquerading as God’s?? There is a huge difference.

One of the scariest passages in Scripture can be found in Matthew. He says that at the Judgment many will come before Him who try and justify their lives by saying that they raised the dead and healed the sick and did all the commanded stuff in the Name of the Lord. They will actually be so bold and arrogant to say our works go before us, and we deserve Heaven. But He will actually say for those people to depart from His presence because He never knew them. These are many people, even leaders, in ministries and churches sitting in our pews who look like they have it all together, and even work miracles in our midst. Many are considered heroes and looked up to with "rock star celebrity status.” Yet, inside they are dead. They do not know Jesus, only the power in His Name. Scripture says we must have the right marriage garments to get into the wedding. God has requirements. We must come His way. We must have relationship and not religion or works, even good works. Abba, take this truth and brand it in our hearts. Help us to find radical true Biblical relationship with You. We don’t want to just slip thru the cracks and make Heaven. We want to know You, and know your blessings, and we want our full inheritance in You. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of an angry God, and we want to be on the side of kindness and love and radical true salvation. We want to truly live forever in Your favor. Please deliver us today from all the traditions of men and the false doctrines and false knowledge of God that we may carry. We want truth, and reality, and we want to live there all the time, 24/7. Show us how. Show us truth. Save our loved ones, our co-workers, our relatives and families, our cities, and acquaintances, and even our churches. Save them for real, and fill them will the Spirit unto a radical lifestyle in You. Also Lord, please release clear revelation on discipleship unto the Church. Lord, give us grace to make real disciples who will NOT fall away. Grant us mommas and poppas in the Spirit. Forgive us Lord, we repent, for we have failed many people in this area. Blood is on our hands, Lord. We have let so many people down through our lack of discipleship and our unwillingness to make disciples because it was too messy or time consuming. Show us how to make it right. In the Name of the Lord we pray! Grace, Love, Favor & Shalom! May the Lord empty you of you, and fill you with Him! Have a blessed September!

TESTIMONY – Whoever said God is dead was sadly mistaken. We are getting reports of outpourings and miracles all over the Earth. People are being saved. The sick are healed. The bound are being set free and answers to prayer are rampant. God is completely out of control! Then again, Marcia reminded me that He is not a tame lion. Hallelujah! Outpourings are going on everywhere. Laos, Tibet, and Libya just declared freedom for Christians. Things are being set in place, and God is moving all over the planet. Here is a partial list of testimonies concerning Night Watch that we received in the last 10 days….

- Will you be adding a viewing stream? Or is there anything to watch? I was given this stream yesterday and have listened for 2 nights. I love the worship music and being a part of prayer. This has touched my heart, I'm part of the Healing Team at my church, and my heart pours out for the sick and needy I want to see them all healed of every area of there life and serving Jesus. Blessings to your Ministry. – Maria

- Yes, God did not tell me to stop giving you $50 per month. So I will continue to give you $50 a month till God tells me to stop it. God bless you. And thank you very much for TheNightWatch.com! – Anonymous, in Germany

- I wish I had words to tell you how much I am enjoying the worship. Can I download the songs? – Ravi, in India

- You are truly called to what you do ...thank you for all you do ...Blessings on The Night Watch – Linda, in the Northwest United States

- I am so happy about this ministry – I would fill a whole page to tell you how much it means to me and my growing humble ministry. But I have it on almost 24 hours a day. Please send me your newsletter. – Johannes, in Germany

- Hello Night Watch! Wow! What an encouragement. I was praying about the Alabama connection toward you! From my position on the Wall in Montgomery, Alabama!!!! hmmm. I did not realize this was a NOW thing! I thought it was something in the Spirit I kept being drawn to. I thought it was future! – Jan, in Alabama

- Night Watch, I just had to say again what a blessing The Night Watch is ...I have been listening to the worship music each morning and worshipping as I compose and send out the Devotional. It is a tremendous blessing ...not to mention the blessing each time I get to intercede with and for you all ...have a great day in the Lord ...take care ...Blessings!! - Linda

MESSIANIC – Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year comes up this month. It starts on sundown in the States on September 29. It is followed by Yom Kippur and Succot, the Lord’s birthday. But in the meantime, something really serious is going on that needs our prayers if not our fasting, too, and immediately. Prime Minister Olmert is requesting meetings with Abbas of Palestine in which both would sign documents concerning the history and agreements between Isra’el and Palestine for after Mr. Olmert leaves office in a few days. I have such a strong check in my spirit that this is evil and not for good. It is a sinister betrayal of Isra’el and the Jewish people. Please pray this does NOT happen. On The Night Watch we have been praying that both Mr. Olmert and Mr. Bush not be allowed to cause any lasting trouble in Isra’el before they leave office in September and in January. Please join us in prayer that no lasing agreements will be signed or added pressure come to the mix in changing Isra’el’s borders, the dividing of Yerushalayim, or the giving away of our Christian and Jewish shrines and relics in the “Shelf Agreements.” Oh Abba! Let it not be so in the land you love so much. Look upon the threats. You never sleep nor slumber, and you know what is going on. Continue watching over Isra’el, and protect her from the plans and schemes of foolish men. We bless you Isra’el, now and always, in the Name of the Adonai! Shalom Shalom!

Now, The Night Watch News….

MONTHLY REPORT – August started slowly, but we were saved by The Night Watch Season of Giving & Worship. We just missed our monthly budget of $5,500, as we finished August with an income of $5,196 combined. That was an average of over $167 a day. As far as total web hits, we were just about where we were in July, finishing with 75,185. That’s an average of 2,425 a day. The big news is that we have now eclipsed the 8 million web hits mark. In just over 7.5 years, we have received a grand total of 8,003,576 web hits on our website. This does not include hundreds of thousands of e-mails received over the years, and to this day well over 2,500 most weeks. Thank you so much for your prayers and your support that have made us what we are today. And the best is still yet to come….

SEASON OF GIVING & WORSHIP – The Night Watch Season of Giving & Worship ended Sunday night. That was 14 days of intense prayer and fundraising. We raised $655 in monthly pledges from 15 people, families, and businesses who are standing with us every single month to give us a foundation to work with that we can count on. This is over 10% of our monthly budget as well as 10% of our yearly budget when you consider it over a year. We also received over $3,720 in one-time love offerings. This helped us pay off all our bills both past due and current, and get us free going into September. Praise the Lord! We want to thank all those who have prayed for us during this time as well as all those who have partnered with the Lord and us financially. Your offerings and prayers go all over the world and please God! They are alive in every nation on the planet. So thank you, and we also want to acknowledge and thank all those who give to us financially every month or as they can, but do not pledge. All of you are an integral and important part of this ministry. Thanks, and God bless you!

SPECIAL NETWORKS NEWS – Lately, we have published many life-altering items on our networks, especially our Prophetic and Teaching Networks. I had a mind-blowing recurring dream last week about France, Russia, and the United States. The bear is out of hibernation for sure. This experience from God lasted well over six hours and ran over and over in my mind as I dreamed and slept. This dream is on our Prophetic Network. It’s a must read. Then we have published many articles on our Teaching Network about what is coming out of Lakeland and the truth about what has and is happening there. We published an article on this Network from Dutch Sheets, writing and repenting as an Apostolic Father. This is an incredible article that every believer should read. This man showed more courage in this one article of repentance to tell the truth about modern issues in the Charismatic Church that it left me in tears and literally trembling. There is also a radical prayer statement to pray over yourself and your family on our Teaching Network, as well. It is life-changing! These are all must reads. They are found at Teaching # 175 and #176. To get on our Networks, start on our Home Page at TheNightWatch.com. On the left side, go down until you see the text links all on top of one another, and then click on the network of interest. Once on the page, you may have to release your pop-up blocker to allow the articles to come up. Once you see the first one, scroll down until you find the ones of interest. Of course, you can always help us by praying for the issues and people on our Worldwide Prayer Network or our World News Prayer Network, too. These change like every 24 to 48 hours. May God change your life every time you visit one of our powerful and amazing networks!

______________________________________________________________________

PRAYER REQUESTS – Keep praying for us as we continue our search for a lawyer who will work on a contingency basis. We talked to a few large Christian law firms who say we definitely have a case in the issues of our bank account situation. But none would take us on, as they do not feel our case is big enough or even a national case. Most are far too busy, anyway. One nice man said this is a local issue and that we have to find a Georgia lawyer who will take this on, so we’re looking. In case you have forgotten, we are not allowed to have a bank account with any local banks, because their policies all say we have to bow and be a 501 C3 and register with the state. None will even give us a business account either. This is ridiculous and violates our rights, and is extremely discriminatory. There are at least 20 ways for a ministry to be tax-exempt, and legitimate, and NOT be a 501 C3. All these banks have to do is make two phone calls to see that we are totally legitimate. There are three banks involved, primarily, and it is strictly bank policy and NOT state law. We had none of these problems in Arkansas or Missouri. We have talked with two lawyers locally, but to no avail. So pray…. Continue to pray about our technical issues as well as our finances. Sometimes I feel we are held together by paper clips, rubber banks, and whole lot of prayer and supporters. Ha! There are so many things we need, and things we need to cover, but we cannot afford them. For example, we wanted to go to the big double conference at Rick Joyner Ministries in South Carolina, but we missed our deadlines financially, so we cannot go. This would have exposed us to thousands of people and also more than paid for itself in gifts and offerings. Also, pray we begin receiving enough finances to move into a radio station shortly…. Continue praying for our health and the workload here at Night Watch Ministries…. Pray for greater anointing and reach worldwide. Pray for wisdom and discernment…. Thanks so much for praying for us, and you are always free to pray as the Spirit leads. There is plenty to pray for. Thanks again….
