And You Shall Know That I Am the Lord

Gatekeepers take three primary roles

1. To protect the Lord's house.  This means they defend the gospel, the truth of the Word and Protect the holiness of God's firm. Their hearts are on burn with the Fear of the Lord. They want the Lord's house to exist a house of Prayer and they are not content until they see the Lord's will come to identify. The gatekeeper protects the House. They know the scriptures well and are total of understanding. They are bold to speak out against the sins of the church- even if it ways they will exist mocked, hated or fifty-fifty kicked out of the church building. They stay close to the House of the Lord
2. They keep the Lord'due south people on the right path, keeping them from drifting from the Lord. Every bit a staff or sheepdog would keep the sheep together from straying, and then the role of gatekeeper is the same. He is responsible to oversee the people, gently guide the drifter dorsum and proceed those on the threshold of evil paths from taking another stride in the wrong direction. They are bold and not afraid to tell the truth of God;s discussion, knowing full well they are saving many from the fires of eternal hell.They are prayer warriors and intercessors for the people
3. They keep watch for the primary's return; ready to usher in the King of Glory

Who is a gatekeeper?
Co-ordinate to the Sometime Attestation, a gatekeeper was a Levite. Gatekeepers where also watchmen on the walls.They were ministering priests from the tribe of Levi. Gatekeepers were trusted officials and high priests in the servant function of protecting the Lord's house. They were stationed at all 4 gates (N,S, E, Due west). They also appointed and taught others around them to guard the gate likewise. Their hearts were fully committed to the Lords will. Today's gatekeepers hope and pray for revival and eagerly await the Lord's render. They are always prepared and continually remind others to exist ready. Gatekeepers made sure that aught unholy entered into God's house and nothing was immune to leave unless it had approving. They were in charge of the Temple items and treasuries of the Business firm of the Lord.

RUNNING Away FROM THIS IS Not AN OPTION (Jonah didn't win) You are commanded to speak out and warn them

Pay attention : (Ez) The Lord'due south Bulletin came to me: "Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them, 'If I bring war on this country and the people accept one of their citizens and brand him their watchman, and if the watchman sees war coming and blows the trumpet, warning the people, and so if anyone hears the sound of the trumpet and ignores it and state of war comes and takes him off, it's his own error. He heard the alarm, he ignored it—it's his own fault. If he had listened, he would have saved his life.
⁶"'But if the watchman sees war coming and doesn't blow the trumpet, warning the people, and war comes and takes anyone off, I'll hold the watchman responsible for the bloodshed of whatever unwarned sinner.'
"You, son of man, are the watchman. I've made y'all a watchman for Israel. The minute you hear a message from me, warn them. If I say to the wicked, 'Wicked man, wicked woman, you're on the fast track to death!' and you don't speak upwards and warn the wicked to change their ways, the wicked volition die unwarned in their sins and I'll hold you responsible for their bloodshed. Simply if you warn the wicked to change their ways and they don't exercise it, they'll die in their sins well-warned and at least yous volition have saved your own life.
"Son of human, I've made y'all a watchman for the family of State of israel. Whenever you hear me say something, warn them for me. If I say to the wicked, 'You are going to dice,' and you don't sound the alert warning them that it's a matter of life or death, they volition die and it will exist your error. I'll hold y'all responsible. But if you lot warn the wicked and they keep correct on sinning anyway, they'll most certainly die for their sin, only you won't die. You'll have saved your life.
"And if the righteous plow back from living righteously and take up with evil when I footstep in and put them in a difficult place, they'll die. If you haven't warned them, they'll dice because of their sins, and none of the right things they've done volition count for anything—and I'll hold you responsible. But if you warn these righteous people not to sin and they listen to you, they'll live because they took the warning—and again, you'll have saved your life."

"Gatekeepers: gather the drifters and prove them the right way"

Gatekeepers role of protecting the people :  The gatekeepers of these terminal days accept been commissioned to protect the sheep. You are to devote yourselves to holiness and to protect the sheep from globe-trotting away.

   I saw a great crowd of people and no 1 was going the right way. Great crowds were everywhere. Not ane person was facing the aforementioned manner as another. Anybody was going and looking in different directions, handful themselves. They weren't concerned with where they were headed and kept walking in whatsoever direction they turned without any consideration. At that place was a lot of racket, and as I looked around I heard deep within my middle and all effectually me "Gatekeepers for the drifting".

This is not a topic I would accept written about nor accept I ever considered the term gatekeeper of the drifters. All the same when I did research I institute information technology quite interesting. If you lot are reading this,  information technology may be your fourth dimension to stand and speak in the righteousness of the Lord- not for our own self-righteousness, merely for the Honor of the Lord and for the salvation of those who are about to perish. We can no longer fear what human being thinks, what he may say, practise, or even detect their countenance – Fear God and what lies ahead for all of us. Take your stand and don't turn to look effectually to the correct or left, who cares what people think- ask yourself this "What does the Lord say?".  Will he telephone call yous "Good and true-blue servant" or an "evil coward". Yikes, I know, that sounds harsh, but that's what the scripture says. Don't we all wish we could be make everyone happy with our words, only that is not our chore. Our duty is to speak the truth in Beloved, snatching up those about to perish. Amen? Amen.

How can I help my fallen brother?

9. • Remind them that we must all apologize of our sins Revelation 2:5 Call up therefore from whence m art autumnen, and repent, and do the beginning works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his identify, except yard repent.
   • Teach them to listen carefully and cling tightly to the Good News : But you lot must go on to believe this truth and stand firmly in information technology. Don't drift away from the balls you lot received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God's retainer to proclaim it.  Then we must mind very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift abroad from it.
   • Warn them of faux teachings and doctrines: 2 Thessalonians 2:3Let no human deceive you past whatsoever ways: for that solar day shall non come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin exist revealed, the son of perdition;
   • Tell them they have to choose. Do you belong to the World or to the Lord. Warn them of the dangers of beingness lukewarm. Luke 8:13They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall abroad.
   • Go on to minister to them: Colossians ane:23If ye keep in the faith grounded and settled, and be not motiond away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
   • Praying always for believers everywhere, without ceasing

TELL THE PEOPLE: Tell them, 'As sure every bit I am the living God, I take no pleasure from the death of the wicked. I want the wicked to modify their ways and live. Turn your life around! Reverse your evil means! Why dice, State of israel?'
TELL THE PEOPLE: At that place's more, son of man. Tell your people, 'A good person's practiced life won't salvage him when he decides to insubordinate, and a bad person'southward bad life won't prevent him from repenting of his rebellion. A good person who sins can't wait to live when he chooses to sin. It's true that I tell practiced people, "Live! Be alive!" Merely if they trust in their proficient deeds and plow to evil, that skillful life won't amount to a hill of beans. They'll dice for their evil life.

TELL THE PEOPLE : On the other hand, if I tell a wicked person, "You'll dice for your wicked life," and he repents of his sin and starts living a righteous and just life—being generous to the down-and-out, restoring what he had stolen, cultivating life-nourishing ways that don't hurt others—he'll live. He won't dice. None of his sins will exist kept on the books. He's doing what'due south right, living a good life. He'll alive.

'Your people say, "The Primary's way isn't fair." Just it's the way they're living that isn't fair. When good people turn back from living skillful lives and plunge into sin, they'll dice for it. And when a wicked person turns away from his wicked life and starts living a just and righteous life, he'll come alive.

A gatekeeper protects the business firm of the Lord from corruption and worldly ideas. Stand up truthful to the Give-and-take of God and do not waver. Protect the people from following lies, false ideas and wrong doctrine. Protect and cling tightly to the Word of God, protecting the Lord's house and His Ways. You must proceed the people from stumbling off the narrow path. Keep the Lord's sheep condom until He comes back once again, e'er staying ready and looking out for your master to return.  He has commanded u.s.a. to watch for His return.
