All Along the Watchtower

Season 9, Ep. 190

If you're familiar with the series of children's books and animated videos that followed (which are VERY ENJOYABLE and well done on AMAZON Prime Video), you hear the similarities..."If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" started it all. If you don't know about the series, let the YouTube video read it to you (be sure to get a warm glass of milk and some hot tollhouse cookies!), or lets just say that in the episode your about to hear demonstrates why I named this podcast show what I did. Stay with me as I connect the dots...in the end it will all come full circle and hopefully make sense and advance peace in your life, in the midst of this agitated world!

Isaiah 21:5-9 Report from the Watchtower results in the fall and destruction of Babylon.

  • 410. The Sphere of Temptation.

    22:21
    In this episode I share with you a major impactive truth that "into temptation" is a place. You have to listen to fully grasp what I am sharing with you. On the front end of the episode is a major call for you to stay the course...to keep on keeping on, in spite of what appears to be happening on our planet. We must stay in the game. This podcast will greatly encourage you as you listen to it. In the podcast it sounds like I say "we're not liquid, we're solid" My garbled speech was saying "we're not liquid, we're not solid." It is in reference to the scripture that tells us our life is but a vapor.DONATE You can help support this podcast by clicking our secure PayPal account.

  • 407. Lead Us Not Into Temptatiion

    08:13
    During these trying days, we do best to evaluate our walk with Jesus Christ and focus our mind on Him. To enjoy the full benefits of His good pleasure, we should do as he told us to do, and ask Our Father to "lead us not into temptation, but to deliver us from evil." As individuals on the planet, walking among power brokers who have the ability to cause us great harm, one thing we can do and excel in is to avoid sin and honor Jesus with our obedience that makes Him happy and pays eternal dividends.
