What Happened to the Watchmen?

Wednesday, August 22, 2018 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments

(Re-published from October 16, 2015 )

There is a very unfortunate report with unedited video. Several prominent ministers prophesied over, and laid hands on, billionaire GOP candidate Donald J. Trump as if he were a sitting elected leader or confirmed nominee for President of the United States.

Given Mr. Trump's documented pattern of vulgarity, misogyny, disrespectful, and narcissistic behavior, one would expect preachers and prophets of God to raise a righteous standard, rather than appear to endorse or commend the thrice-married Trump.

Notwithstanding our present era of brand-oriented, hedonistic and compromising Christianity, we should consider the words of the Prophet Isaiah to his generation, and Holy Scripture to our generation.

"For the leaders of my people--the LORD's watchmen, his shepherds--are blind and ignorant. They are like silent watchdogs that give no warning when danger comes." Isaiah 56:10

Watch the video:



We preachers are called to be "watchmen" who are not subject to the influence of political partisanship, personalities, or eagerness to consort with seemingly powerful people.

The motivation for this commendation of Mr. Trump by laying on of hands is difficult to discern. This was much different than a meeting featuring questions and answers. It's hard to believe that laying on of hands would have been offered to someone who was not a celebrity front-runner (as of this writing) for the Republican party presidential nomination and a billionaire. Will prayer/prophesy sessions be offered to all candidates?

It would be most disturbing if any preacher participated because of having received, or had hope of receiving, money from Mr. Trump. It would be helpful to know the justifications of participating ministers in light of this Scripture text that we hold in high regard:

"Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure." 1 Tim. 5:22

I believe that in these matters, biblical, kingdom principles must "trump" any commendation or spiritual endorsement of Donald J. Trump. Our necessary election process is carnal and constitutional, not Christ-centered and spiritual. It seems the more Christians align with political candidates and parties, the least spiritual impact and authority they end up possessing. This confluence of worldly politics and religious conviction has produced many unbiblical and spurious beliefs.

Rather than being strong prophetic voices, too many of us preachers have become pawns in the game of partisan politics or promoters of lesser people and their self-serving agendas.

Listen to "I Press On" on Firm Foundation Podcast:

Podbean: https://bryanhudson.podbean.com/e/i-press-on-1534111554/
iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/firm-foundation-with-bryan-hudson/id81271386?mt=2#

In Christ you have the power, grace, and ability to press forward no matter how short or long the path! The best part is this; you don’t have to use your own strength! You will learn about the principles and strategies for pressing forward in God’s grace and power!

On the surface, the phrase “I press” feels like hardship and extreme difficulty on the way somewhere. The level of effort is not the thing to focus on. The thing to focus on is the prize or the goal, which is a higher call in life.

Watch a special lyric video: "I Press" by Fred Hammond.

Philippians 3:13-14 
“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” 

Philippians 3:14 Good News Translation (GNT)
"So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above."

Law & Legalism vs. Grace | Study of Romans Chapter 4

Listen on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/firm-foundation-with-bryan-hudson/id81271386?mt=2
Listen on Podbean: https://bryanhudson.podbean.com/e/law-legalism-vs-grace-study-of-romans-chapter-4/

This verse by verse study from the Book of Romans Chapter Four highlights one of the most key foundations of our Christian faith: What is the basis of our righteousness, transformation, and acceptance before God?

This teaching is simple in presentation, but profound in its significance to believers in Christ and to anyone who wants understanding. There are a lot of questions today about grace and about what is commonly called "law." The Apostle Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, settles the question of Law v. Grace. You will also learn how law and legalism are different.
