The Eastern Regional Watch is a discernment/apologetics resource ministry founded on the Word of God, specifically Ezekiel 33:7; to stand watch and guard against deception, false teachings and the philosophies of men that attempt to infiltrate the church body and to warn of heresies that have infected the church body from within. We are followers and disciples of Jesus Christ here to represent Him to others in love and humility, in the fear of God with a message that is rightly dividing the Word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15) It is written in Matthew 7:13-21, we are to: enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. This ministry is reaching out to those who are attempting to grow in their relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, walking in the truth and desiring to mature in Him, learning to discern good from evil. We call upon the church to recognize the need to examine the spiritual house from the inside out, and as the word says, Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 1 Corinthians 5:6-7 The Apostle Paul said, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 The Apostle Paul also stated: For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 2 Corinthians 11:2-4
