LIVING
PARABLE OF FAITHFUL WATCHMEN 4/29/07
Tonight I was watching a documentary about how they made
the Planet Earth series, only 5 world wide impacting one
hour programs in 5 years. I was thinking about the
spectacular shots they have in their series and the
hours and hours and hours they spend trying to capture
the right shot.
In this one scene, the poor photographer sat in his
hidden hut for 8 hours a day for 5 weeks to finally get
the shot of the blue bird of paradise doing his dance.
It made me realize that a watchman is full time and we
spend all our hearts and time listening, and those hours
are finally rewarded for the impacting messages we share
that make a difference in the world.
Jer 31:3-6 NKJV
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. 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. You shall yet
plant vines on the mountains of Samaria; The planters
shall plant and eat them as ordinary food. For there
shall be a day when the watchmen will cry on Mount
Ephraim, 'Arise, and let us go up to Zion, To the LORD
our God.'"
RHEMA 4/29/07 OUR FAITHFUL FRIEND
HEARD: Faithful. Your best friend. Volunteer.
[He is our Friend and He awaits us to volunteer to be
His friend. As we are faithful to Him, we learn to be
faithful to oneanother.]
1 Sam 2:35 KJV
And I will raise me up a faithful (539) priest, that
shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in
my mind: and I will build him a sure (539) house; and he
shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

of your lord.'

1 Peter 4:17-19 NKJV
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house
of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the
end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now "If
the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the
ungodly and the sinner appear?" Therefore let those who
suffer according to the will of God commit their souls
to Him in doing good, as to a faithful (4103) Creator.
FAITHLESS
2 Tim 2:11-13 NKJV
This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We
shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also

we are faithless, (569) He remains faithful (4103); He
cannot deny Himself.

Num 11:11-15 KJV
And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou
afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found
favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all
this people upon me? Have I conceived all this people?
have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me,
Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father (539)
beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou
swarest unto their fathers? Whence should I have flesh
to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me,
saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. I am not able to
bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for
me. And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee,
out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and
let me not see my wretchedness.
Num 12:6-8 NKJV
"Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I,
the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak
to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; He is
faithful (539) in all My house. I speak with him face to
face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees
the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To
speak against My servant Moses?"
1 Sam 2:35 KJV
And I will raise me up a faithful (539) priest, that
shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in
my mind: and I will build him a sure (539) house; and he
shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel
had been established (539) as a prophet of the LORD.

Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you,
walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to
keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant
David did, then I will be with you and build for you an
enduring (539) house, as I built for David, and will
give Israel to you.
1 Chron 17:24 NKJV
So let it be established (539) , that Your name may be
magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts, the God
of Israel, is Israel's God.' And let the house of Your

Prov 27:6 NKJV
Faithful (539) are the wounds of a friend; but the
kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
