It sounds like you have opened yo...Your Welcome :)<br /><br />It sounds like you have opened yourself up as a nice avenue for many. I believe the lack of response on e-mail may be due to this fast paced world we live in. That zippidty...zappidty approach to life by many. It may not be on your end at all but by their mere impatience. Needing to look for that quick fix, quick answers etc. If they can't find it with you let's say then they will go to the next source. That doesn't make it right or wrong but sadly that is the world we live in and glory be to God that at least they are seeking. :)<br /><br />Those who seem to operate under the spirit of the Lord and choose to cultivate that relationship will see life from different eyes and a different heart. They love to exchange with others, slow down to the rhythm of life and more. They feel more in sync than they do out of sorts. Don't get me wrong there are many Christians I know that go to the other extreme too and can be too uptight or judgmental and have no time to help anyone now they have found their way home.<br /><br />Once you choose the purpose and plan with the help of the HS, just leave loves door open and be that vessel letting it flow. Who knows on that particular day you may respond to someone they may have lost their courage to open up and went back in their shell. They will pop up again, I promise. If it's not with you, they will take what they gain from you and learn from the next witness the Lord sends.<br /><br />Sometimes our assignments are very brief in life. We never have a way other than working with the HS to tell as our navigator. If you don't have peace about something, it is not from him. :)<br /><br />God Bless!!<br /><br />GGGGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-86634552362998520162011-08-24T14:00:40.282-04:002011-08-24T14:00:40.282-04:00GG

If they want immediate help, they could always email me privately using their own email. This is why I make it available. All blog comments also go to my email address. I regularly check my email (several times every day), so I know if someone has left a comment or emailed me.<br /><br />Sometimes a comment is left (but as I do not have their email address) I can only reply on the blog. I reply to simple questions promptly, so shouldn't be a problem, but to complex ones (which need much investigation) it may take me a while.<br /><br />Problem is that by the time I have answered they may have lost interest in waiting and disappeared (as you rightly state).<br /><br />However, if they are genuine enough and need an urgent answer surely they could have emailed me, instead, couldn't they?<br /><br />I have a few who email me but not many.<br /><br />I do find it frustrating because there are some comments (which I cannot publish for varying reasons) but I am keen to respond to them by email, but cannot because I don't have their email address. I have actually written a comment (on the blog)to one or two asking them to email me, but they haven't.<br /><br />I also take the position that "all who the Father calls WILL come to Jesus". I don't believe anything can turn a person away from Christ if the Father is drawing them. It is the Holy Spirit who convicts of righteousness, sin and judgement - not me. therefore, I am trusting that God will use our blogs according to His good pleasure to win people.<br /><br />There again, God gives us wisdom as to how to do this and often does so through our brothers and sisters. This is why I am writing about it, here.<br /><br />Thanks againJohn Chingfordhttp://www.watchmanforjesus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-67253616151378002202011-08-24T11:58:53.969-04:002011-08-24T11:58:53.969-04:00Hi John~
I really admire that you are trying to f...Hi John~<br /><br />I really admire that you are trying to find the right fit. I strongly believe going to the Lord in prayer and with the HS will give you the right answer. Together with his guidance and your time constraints you may be traveling down a whole new road that stretches you and hopefully for the better as we all like to see in ourselves. :)<br /><br />I can see how you are torn on this topic. Pray for wisdom to know which way to turn. I am concerned with the amount of time you may have and when people are starting to seek answers, I am not sure they will wait long. It has to be a relationship like nurturing a baby or a lost teen? Does that makes sense? I do feel a conviction that it can't be a dabbling effort, whichever way you choose. Remember quality not quantity.<br /><br />Maybe God right now is seeing if you are willing to answer the call. He will provide the rest through the help of the HS. Follow only him, not man as you know.<br /><br />For example my heart is geared toward bridging the non-saved and backsliders in a slow methodical approach. That is where my heart is. I believe they will fall through the cracks. In a world of technology we have to find a platform that runs parallel to their old thinking and cross them over to salvation. I feel like I am saying this all wrong, I hope you get what I am trying to say here. I also don't overstretch myself leaping out of the box and corrupt his overall goal for his children. We are all in different seasons of life. Sometimes we can be so eager to help we actually hurt the purpose that he had designed for our lives.<br /><br />That is why I like this format Scott has. Who can dispute worldly news and events? Either way it's happening but the next step is what is next? That is the point to help bridge the gap and show many the way. At least that is where my heart is right now and why I love coming here. Yours may be to awaken the sleeping Christians and show them some self-reflections and rekindle their old flames. Help them to get off self and get right with the Lord while not following false teachers, prophets, etc.<br /><br />I will pray for you. I am sure God won't let all this desire go to waste my friend.<br /><br />God Bless!!<br /><br />GGGGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-66090602927586585512011-08-24T11:33:03.666-04:002011-08-24T11:33:03.666-04:00Thanks GG

Really appreciated.<br /><br />I sometimes wonder if I should have 3 blogs. One for the unsaved, one for those caught up in Deception and one to give watchman warnings.<br /><br />I would like to do that but just do not have the time to do so. Do you think the unsaved might be turned away from the blog because of too much talk on false Christianity?<br /><br />My thought is that true seekers need to be aware of false groups because (if not pre warned,ie pre armed)they may get sucked into these groups making it far more difficult to win them later.

I was thinking of your latest question l...Hi John~<br /><br />I was thinking of your latest question last night pertaining to what sets this site apart from the others and draws many to itself. I did have a chance to go to your site. It looks like you have been doing a lot of fine work yourself. :) I wasn't sure if you are looking for input on how to draw in others but that is what I have been taking from your recent posts. Please forgive me if I mis-understood.<br /><br />In the spirit of love and providing helpful hints, I can say for me going to a site that has an easy reading format is very helpful. This pertains to any of the sights I may become an active part of. If my eyes have to scan over too much information with time constraints, I may just be inclined to look for something easier at that time. The layout and design are key factors for me. The spirit of dialog on any site is a critical for me. Does it have love, trust and understanding among its members? How is the site monitored for the well-being of all? Does the sites owner or Moderator reflect only their view points and allows a safe mutual exchange among its members or does it have its own slant to the daily post thus limiting the potential growth in the word of God, which is supposed to be the primary goal. Lastly, what type of conflict resolution is maintained daily on the site.<br /><br />We have so many people today starting to seek answers to greater things. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for all to spread the good news :) In the days ahead many will be looking to connect the dots from worldly events to something greater. This can be a wonderful time for all to help those who are lost. The key is where is this newcomer in their walk?<br /><br />Scott's site has all of the above and with each daily posting of news he ties it into scripture. He doesn't add to it or take away from it. Others will then share their view point's lovingly and together we seek to see what the Lord says about these things. It's all about open dialogue and God's word is the final authority. Now in the spirit of learning many will have tons of questions or even may have a great mis-understanding to the breakdown of the actual verse at hand or daily post; again that is where everyone here comes together in a listening, not telling type of approach to teach and stay within the parameters of being the messenger for God. I think that helps a lot to keep the dissention out among the masses.<br /><br />Your site has a wonderful opportunity to help the lost in the days ahead. The question may not be about the numbers as it may be about the audience you desire to reach? Do you want the non-saved or beginners and are you willing to spoon feed them scripture and take a slow walk with them daily to help them come to know the Lord? Or do you wish to draw in the more seasoned Christians or even fallen Christian brothers and sisters and help to show them greater teachings at a more advanced level? In these last days once things start moving and shaking people are going to be seeking answers. The topics or type of format one may have on their forum can draw them near or overwhelm them and send them away. Think about what message you will be leaving after we are gone. What can you leave behind to help those who will be seeking answers then. Christ is love, we want them to know love as well as discernment.<br /><br />I hope this helps. You are trying so hard to do the right thing. :) Pray about it and set new parameters on what the desired goal is and the rest will be blessed if that is what God has asked you to do. <br /><br />God Bless!!!<br /><br />GGGGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-8875752664493846492011-08-23T19:15:35.608-04:002011-08-23T19:15:35.608-04:00Mrs C --- WELL STATED!Mrs C --- WELL STATED!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403649419538752058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-2795408766406271852011-08-23T19:07:45.741-04:002011-08-23T19:07:45.741-04:00When the site was listed as "best" proph...When the site was listed as "best" prophecy site, somebody around here alerted me to it and gave a link, or I would have never known<br /><br />As far as other sites linking - it was based on my having written a commentary on certain topics that they included in their list of articles - pertaining to whatever related topic that site had.

Yes indeed Sis, things are...Morning GG Dear Sis, :)<br />Yes indeed Sis, things are moving very fast now. You are very welcome, and please know that it is my great privilege, and all credit Truly is to the Holy Spirit :) Yes Sis, I have felt the same way, both excited, and yes scared sometimes too! After all, we are “children”, but take great, great comfort in knowing we are HIS children, and we have the Best, Awesome, Glorious Father in the whole universe, who loves us so very much. <br /> Yes indeed, it will be very quick for Damascus, and what follows. The Holy Spirit has absolutely convicted me for some time now, on Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38-39 in particular. Mr.C has witnessed this walk, and believe me it has not been easy. I am truly humbled, and there have been some intense battles with other “Christians” no less, when it came to these Scriptures. The battles (I call them because that’s what they ended up being), were intense. There is a lot of false teaching out there, and a lot of Brothers and Sisters sadly, are quick to buy into some of these teachings. Every single time, the Holy Spirit convicted me to answer some of these statements others made, and believe me, it took a lot of His strength and assurance to hit the “enter” key, knowing full well I would be attacked for my response. That is the level of stronghold these false teachings have on folks these days.<br /> I share all this, because He has convicted me of something else. All of us have said, in utter amazement, how we don’t understand why other “Christians” cant “see” the obvious fulfillment of Prophecy occurring right now, today! They are either blind to it, or chose to be blind to it. The conviction the Lord placed in my heart, is that there is a “shake down” to put it in slang terms, or a sifting of the Church that is happening before our eyes also. It is just as He said it would be!<br /> There is no more “fence sitting” for folks. He is cleaning us up to meet our Bride Groom! He convicted me that the closer we are to His coming, the more the Church will return to its original Faith. Like our first Brothers and Sisters in Christ were, from centuries ago. Should the Lord tarry, we may be through a short time, of rough times. The Isaiah 17 war for example, will indeed effect our everyday lives greatly. We as Watchers, having been so incredibly Blessed with the studying of His Prophetic Word, will have been given the greatest privilege! That Blessing, that Privilege, is to be there…to comfort…to teach others, whether they be uninformed Brothers and Sisters, or the lost. To be there for them, to be His Light, at the very edge of all time! WOW! For me, I’m so incredibly humbled by such a privilege to serve Him!<br /> Just think…we would be the last to Witness for Him, for His Son Our Lord Jesus, before the Rapture! How awesome is that! We have to fight the good fight, finish the race! We can do this! Not in our own strength, but in His Strength…He has great confidence in us…as He is our Loving Father Forever!

As paul said "forgetting what lies behind, I press on".<br /><br />However, remember "unless the Lord builds the house we labour in vain who try to build it" and from Jesus "without me, you can do nothing". The context was to abide in the vine.<br /><br />Sometimes our inactivity is designed by God to transform us and prepare us for the future. Of course, if the Holy Spirit prompts us to move and we don't then I would agree that it is not good. However, God is long suffering towards us and will continue to prompt us as/when the time is right.<br /><br />"He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion until the Day of Christ". (one of my favorite verses as it encourages me not to give up.<br /><br />If means that (if we are born-again) He will never give up on us and will continue to motivate us to acts of service.

Interesting ex...Hi Waterer<br /><br />"Land Sakes"<br /><br />Interesting expression! Is that like our expression "snakes alive"?<br /><br />Just to clarify. Scott has millions of hits but that is not the same as millions of visitors. Everytime you visit a page it is a hit. So, if you visited say 20 articles over a period of (I think it is 1 hour)and went back/forwards on each article 5 times, the blog would record 100 hits, even though just one visitor.<br /><br />So "hits" is rather misleading. However, just one million hits could represent about 5-10,000 visitors or even much more. As Scott has had more than one million hits (Can't remember how many I saw)I would take a rough wild guess to suggest that Scott has had at least about 50,000 separate visitors. That is STILL massive.John Chingfordhttp://www.watchmanforjesus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-6502768889772164932011-08-23T08:53:38.818-04:002011-08-23T08:53:38.818-04:00Thanks everybody for all your contributions.

I do like your attitude too.<br /><br />I agree that "whatever you do, do as unto the Lord". You are absolutely right that we should NEVER push ourselves forward and should ALWAYS seek to glorify Jesus. The reason I am seeking your help is because I would like to see my blog (or should I say, His blog) grow for HIS glory, so that the message of the blog will reach those who need to see it. I take your point that IF my blog is of God it will grow without the need to advertise. Praise God how He miraculously caused yours to grow without extra effort on your part but by Him causing the "right people" to notice it and advertise for you.<br /><br />Therefore, I feel a little embarrassed to ask you to advertise my blog as one of your links. <br /><br />However, maybe God has brought me to your site (because you have immense traffic)and He wanted to use yours to help mine grow. Please pray about that and see if it is <br />God's Will to advertise my blog.<br /><br />I am so glad I have stumbled on this blog. You and your contributors seem so gracious and kind. Your blog seems to be attracting the right people who do not send nasty and contentious replies.

At first I was tempted to go and see what the other sites were reporting on, but its quicker and more efficient to go to the original sites myself, and my "net" of news sites grows weekly. I think thats important too - to have a very wide net for news, I am amazed at what you can find that way - and news that other sites may not pick up.

That goes back even further - and its a long story I won;t bore anybody with, but I had an opportunity to take a year off from work, and thought long and hard about what to do with it. I considered that I was in my mid-40's at the time, and hadn't done anything for God, despite the fact that God had done so much for me. The parable of the Talents was calling me. I decided then to write the book and begin talking to groups in earnest.<br /><br />The main fact being - that unlike most Christians I know, I had been in the Church for most of my 40+ years, and I had basically wasted those years (as far as the Kingdom anyway) - and just couldn't continue that way any longer. <br /><br />So most of my years as a Christian were frittered away ad I took care of my needs only - ignoring anything God might have had me doing.<br /><br />So I have a LOT of catching up to do :)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403649419538752058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-7057592691507819772011-08-22T21:57:02.179-04:002011-08-22T21:57:02.179-04:00Hi Sue~

I love having her home but it's time for us both to have some good study time apart. :) I will be working on this next. Thank you for your wonderful posts. It is wonderful to learn so much from others who are much wiser in these areas.<br /><br /><br />If I may ask all to please pray for all the children and teens as they return back to school. I pray hard on this and offer a hedge of protection for the children of the world. I feel in these last days things may be pressing down harder on them which can cause some to press down in other ways on their elders. I pray many of these kids who are at the age of accountability with the Lord come to know him before his return.<br /><br />God Bless!!<br /><br />GGGGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-78604311404491741262011-08-22T21:50:36.098-04:002011-08-22T21:50:36.098-04:00Hi Mrs. C~
Commenting from your last post on Isai...Hi Mrs. C~<br /><br />Commenting from your last post on Isaiah 17 down below. Things are moving so fast now that I don't want to miss thanking you for keeping us updated on what to watch for in these last days. <br /><br />I feel my spirit leaping in excitement and also feeling very scared as I pray that I can be of good service to the Lord in these last days.<br /><br />Thank you for posting and guiding on this topic as we watch things unfold. I will spend some time in prayer with the HS and seek his guidance on how to be of good service to all. <br /><br />I love reading your posts! The thought of Damascus going so quickly is mind-boggling.<br /><br />Thanks for the update from the Caver household on the animals. I heard something with Dutch recently that these signals going into the air have played a huge role on the birds, fish, etc. We wondered if they had returned to their normal activity since you last posted on this.<br /><br />I will be praying for you all in NC during this time.<br /><br />God Bless!!<br /><br />GGGGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-34001467264592015272011-08-22T21:44:04.388-04:002011-08-22T21:44:04.388-04:00Scott, you are very welcome. I don't see you ...Scott, you are very welcome. I don't see you speaking of yourself but witnessing on how the Lord has used you in this life time :)<br /><br />When I hear this story of how this all came to be, I always hear an echo from the HS stating how your such a faithful servant.<br /><br />I looked up that scripture and found this wonderful description that fits all you have done.<br /><br />Matthew 25:23<br />New International Version (NIV)<br /><br /><br /> 23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ <br /><br /><br />Going to serve the few in Charlotte really opened the door to showing God just how far you would go to do his work. You should be proud of yourself for not quitting. It has helped us all out today.<br /><br />I look forward to meeting you all soon. <br /><br />God Bless!!<br /><br />GGGGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-52293752543503754252011-08-22T21:15:18.926-04:002011-08-22T21:15:18.926-04:00Oh...While I'm on "my stuff"

Not that I need to hear nice comments - but the fact that people care enough to take the time to log on and post something so kind - really touches me deeply. (and this isn't soliciting future comments, I promise :) -- I just wanted people to know how much it means and how much I appreciate it. Its really nice. The people here are really unique - in fact, I have associated with a lot of different groups along the way, and I have never seen a collection of people like the folks who frequent the site. Its really something and I'm actually tearing up just writing this.<br /><br />I can't wait to meet everybody that comes here - its going to be such a glorious and awesome reunion.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403649419538752058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432851080052468710.post-56327396051578722232011-08-22T21:04:26.795-04:002011-08-22T21:04:26.795-04:00But I have never advertised or done anything to pr...But I have never advertised or done anything to promote the site, but a few things happened along the way.<br /><br />The site somehow got onto another site that reviews prophecy related blogs and websites. SOmebody or some group declared this site as the "Best" prophecy site for the month, or week or whatever - and the # hits really went up at that time (that was a couple of years ago)<br /><br />Then, a few times over the last couple of years, some big websites (non-prophecy) linked my article (for that day) - and on those days the # hits skyrocketed dramatically, and each time that happens, around 10% stick around 'permanently'.<br /><br />And someone also mentioned (and I am just figuring this out - but I;m always slow to learn things :) - certain keywords in the title will do the same. <br /><br />I have no idea what the keywords are - its always after the fact - I think "Soros" is often searched, but as the readers here know, I'm semi-obsessed with Soros anyway....:)<br /><br />But the long and the short of it is - I have no idea. I don't do anything to actively increase readership - I figure God will do with it what He wants - its all for Him anyway.<br /><br />One important point - and I am not trying to "lecture" or "preach" by ANY means....But one thing I have learned over the years:<br /><br />I do it strictly for God. And if there was only one reader who needed it; I'd probably do exactly the same as I do now. (don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that you would do otherwise, or anything like that - I'm just sharing this)<br /><br />I had an epiphany moment a few years ago, as I was driving down to Charlotte to "preach" to a church on prophecy (as I do as often as possible) - and I knew it would be a small crowd. In fact, before the sunday, I was called by the pastor and "warned" that it might be a very small group because of some problems within the church.<br /><br />I had been there once before and it was a new church that was growing, and when I had been there earlier, there was 50-60 people there. So I assumed there may be as few as 15-20 people - but maybe far less.<br /><br />For a very brief period I thought "Do I really want to go all the way to Charlotte and do this? For so few people?"<br /><br />And at that moment, I considered the importance of one single soul, and how could I NOT go, even if it was one person? Was I doing this for my glory (via big crowds) or was I doing it for God? And if for God, what does the size of the crowd matter?<br /><br />I also felt that it may be some kind of test. I immediately decided I should do it even if one person needed to hear this message.<br /><br />There ended up being about 5 people, and it was an awesome experience for a bunch of reasons, but I have gone on for way too long. <br /><br />This is the last time I talk about myself :)<br /><br />I try not to do that - as this is all about JESUS and His coming and thats all that matters. Its definitely not about me - (for some reason I felt compelled to share that stuff above) - but honestly, I really try to keep 'my stuff' out of this arena. <br /><br />I don't EVER want to be the focus in any way. <br /><br />I want JESUS to be the focus and watching for Him. <br /><br />Anyway - I hope some of that helps. <br /><br />I also agree that frequent updates are important - especially now, as things are happening so fast all around us. <br /><br />Oh - and good luck :)Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403649419538752058noreply@blogger.com
