About The Watchfire

The Church of Jesus Christ has opened its arms wide and welcomed the ways of the world, defiling itself in the process. The original gospel of sin and repentance as commissioned by Christ Himself has been exchanged for a variety of anthropocentric (man-centered) messages. “Gloom and Doom” pastors have been given the sack for the want of theatrical skills in favor of the more nurturing psychologist, the mystical New-Age Guru, the comical clown, the inspiring self-help motivator and the sensational rock star. Like it or not, this is not pessimistic or cynical thinking, this is reality unaltered.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 2 Timothy 4:3,4

This blog is not aimed at condemning anyone. Rather, as its name suggest, The Watchfire serves as a lookout for activities of the Enemy be it day or night. Like it or not, the Enemy is actively prowling around and scheming against the Church of Jesus Christ! If you should find yourself offended, examine yourself closely to see if the person has judged you or was merely pointing out your errors.

This blog is intended to function as its name suggests, a watchfire; to keep a lookout and raise the alarm when enemy activity is detected. As the Apostle Paul said, behind all the preaching and evangelizing, we as Christians are waging the true war on the spiritual front. Our true enemies are not believers with secular or liberal leanings or those outside Christianity who seek to annihilate it. Rather, it is the “spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” that we are engaging in battle against. It is these demons which bind, blind and hold people, even Christians captives to sin.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. 1 John 5:19

Our Lord Jesus Christ succinctly listed our task as His servants:

To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. Acts 26:18
