11-28-2015 - The Watchman lesson learned

I promised to share the lesson I learned last winter after Father had given me the 'Watchman' and circumstances surrounding it.

For the past six months our pastor has held classes for several of us helping to brush up and make sure we understand certain theological concepts so I've had the pleasure to read Kenneth Hagin's book "Understanding the Anointing" which has helped me to understand many things that have been going on in my life, especially fairly recently (last couple of years). I mention this because I'm going to share what happened to me as God shared the 'Watchman' with me and I was looking for confirmation that I indeed had heard from Him.

As i said in the last post, Father gave me the Watchman over three different days over a six day period in September 2014. I do my 'main' prayer in the morning and each offering of the Watchman fit neatly into that scenario - during my AM prayer session. And interestingly enough (not that it means anything that I'm aware of) each came at the beginning of that session. Father would start sharing the word with me and send me downstairs to the computer to type it out. Everything was fine as I made my entry. I felt just I do any other day, that is until I stood up to go back upstairs. On the first day, I stood up and sat right back down in the chair. My legs were like two strands of cooked spaghetti and they didn't want to support me. A warm feeling was over my body and nothing bothered me. Nothing. Not even the usual little twinges and aches I normally feel. But I soon realized I had problem - I had to get back upstairs and use the bathroom.

I stood back up looked at the basement steps, all of ten feet away, and wondered if I could make it. I literally 'inched' my way to the steps holding on to the things that were nearby and even though I couldn't say exactly how long it took, it had to have been at least five or six minutes. I looked at the steps and my legs seemed to say to me "you want us to climb that?" I did - On my hands and knees. I literally crawled up the stairs. Still on my hands and knees, in the kitchen, I still had about ten or twelve feet to the bathroom. My situation was getting desperate. I thought to myself "Once I get to the bathroom I still have to stand up." So I grabbed hold of the refrigerator door handle (beside me) and pulled myself to my feet. I shuffled to the bathroom door. Yes, I did make it. Afterwards I shuffled out into the living room and traversing the ten or twelve feet I flopped, or should I say plopped, into my green chair. And there I sat. I made several futile attempts to get up but it was a full forty-five minutes before I was able to get back up onto my feet again and move about with reasonable ease. Mind you, I felt GREAT during all this. Virtually nothing bothered me but I just had a very hard time getting to my feet to stand up.

The same thing happened again when I received the other two segments of the Watchman but they weren't quite as intense and didn't last as long. On the two subsequent episodes I returned to 'normal' after about fifteen or twenty minutes.

Father reminded me that this wasn't the first time this happened. He reminded of one time in my 'old' house (I moved in March 2015 to where I am now) when He laid me out prone, face down on the living room floor for about fifteen or twenty minutes before I could get back up. I knew, for sure, if anyone peeked in my living room window and saw me laying there they would have thought I had suffered a heart attack or something. And it has happened many times since, to lesser degrees. I started calling this my 'zone' and I had and have no problems getting into the 'zone'. It doesn't happen every time I pray but it does seem to happen whenever the Lord shares something significant with me. And I usually don't realize I'm in the 'zone' until I go to stand up. Sometimes the 'zone' lasts a couple of minutes, sometimes it lasts considerably longer and like I said, most times I don't even realize that I've entered into the 'zone' until I realize that I can't stand up.

I mentioned that we were studying Kenneth Hagin's book on the 'anointing' so I've come to realize this experience is an anointing as Father shares something with me He wants me to know. I love it. I learn something and I feel pretty good at the same time!

I knew in my heart that the word on the 'Watchman' was supposed to be shared with others so I asked the Lord 'how!'? I've been reading Doug Addison's e-mailed "Daily Prophetic Word" for over a year now so, at the Lord's direction I e-mailed a copy of the Watchman to Doug's e-mail address (from the website).

We had a special speaker come in for our Fall Harvest banquet in October so Father prompted me to share the prophecy with the fellowship so with the Pastor's agreement I did AND I gave a written copy to our guest speaker who just happened to be a relative of our pastor.

Also in October I went to the "Elijah's List Conference in Frederick, Md. where I handed the pastor of that church a copy of the prophecy (in envelopes) for each of the guest speakers there, Doug Addison, Jane Hamon and Steve Shultz. I don't know if the copies were ever delivered, but I gave them to pastor.

We had a prophetess come and speak at our Christmas Banquet in December. No I didn't give her a copy but I mention this because her presence feeds into the situation.

I was doing what I knew to get the Watchman 'out' and I was feeling pretty god about my efforts. Before I went to the Elijah's List Conference in October Father sent me to a local store, 2nd and Charles, saying "find a book by either Doug Addison or Bill Hamon and buy it. Right around that time I was learning that Bill Hamon was one of the 'founding fathers' of the 'prophetic' movement so I went looking. Nothing on their shelves by Doug but I found one book (yes one, not one title, just one book) by Hamon - 'The Day of the Saints'. So I bought it. Father said to read it before I went to the conference in Frederick, so I did, all but the last chapter and Father said 'no problem, we'll catch it later'.

So here's my situation:

In September Father gives me the "Watchamn'

In October I go to our Banquet AND the conference in Frederick

In December we have our Christmas banquet

Every word our Pastor brought on Sunday since the end of September contained elements from the Watchman

I'm around a lot of people who operate in the 'prophetic'. Surely Father will speak to one (if not all) of them and tell them what He has done with and for me (the Watchman). I thought for sure. Even though I was prayed over no one, nada, nil, nary a soul, mentioned the Watchman. Even through the end of the year, not even my pastor mentioned the Watchman.

I do have a vivid imagination (always have). I found myself in the first couple of weeks of January (2015) feeling pretty sorry for myself. Why had no one mentioned it? I KNEW one of these people would confirm what the Lord had given me but no one did. I began to wonder if all this wasn't just my imagination and the Lord really hadn't spoken to me. I challenged Him "Why didn't you confirm what you had given me through any of all these resources I've been around?" I was beginning to conclude if I had been wrong about the Watchman what else have I been wrong about. I was considering 'shutting down'. I was going to back down to just doing the tasks I do with the fellowship and of course I would continue to pray and read the bible but if I'm not really hearing from the Lord why should I pursue the prophetic operations within me. After all, I apparently wasn't as prophetic as I thought.

Then Father took His turn to speak.

Buck!What was the book "Day of the Saints" about.
Father, it was about how the saints rise up and not just live for You but do Your will and it was laced with elements from the Watchman

What about the speaker at the Harvest Banquet?
He included several elements contained in the Watchman in the word he shared.

What about the Frederick conference?

Again I heard a lot of the elements from the Watchman in the words each of the speakers brought.

And what about the speaker at the Christmas banquet?

Huh! She also had elements from the Watchman in the word she brought.

And the words your pastor has been bringing in October, November and December?

Every message she has brought from October on have contained elements also in the Watchman.

So, let Me see if I understand this. Twice in October, once in November and in December NOT to mention how many times the pastor has spoken during the same time, they have all brought a word that contained elements from the Watchman. Am I right?
Ugh! Yes, I guess You're right, Lord.

How much confirmation do you need?!!!
Several months later I finally as able to get a copy of the Elijah List Conference DVD. I watched most of the presentations including the one Jane Hamon gave on Friday night. As I listened to it I said to myself "Holy smokes!" Now I was there on Friday night and heard her speak but watching the DVD I saw where most of the word she brought could have come straight from the Watchman. I mean it was loaded with elements from the Watchman but I surely never realized it that Friday.

The enemy had come very close to not just stealing what God had given me but came very close to shutting down any future attempts to share what Father was sharing with me.

I was looking for confirmation, but I was looking in all the wrong places!

Lesson learned - God does't always speak to us the way WE think He should. Father speaks to us in the way He wants to and that is dependent on what He's trying to teach us.

When I've considered how God confirms things with me, He has reminded me 1) When I learn something new, God exposes me to that idea through man but then He teaches me through scripture how He wants me to understand it and 2) I have received 'prophetic' word (personal prophecy) via many sources (people) and every time Father has used it to confirm what He has already told me - except three times. Once my pastor prophesied that I would speak before a large group of people wearing a suit - I don't like anything up around my neck, it chokes me, not likely but not impossible and the other two times two different people gave me the same prophecy, my pastor and a prophetess, a dear sister in Christ. They both prophesied a wife for me. My wife went to be with the Lord in 2005 and frankly I'm not looking for another wife. Even though originally I was motivated not to seek because financial reasons, since then I've used Paul's argument about splitting time between the Lord and a spouse, no spouse = moe time with he Lord.

Point to all this is Father doesn't seem to do things with me as He does with other people but I must admit that after reading Hagin's 'Anointing' I realize that I'm not the only one in this boat. Paul was not taught by the other apostles and neither was Kenneth Hagin taught by his peers. I appreciate how God has dealt with me over the years and Father has shown me that I don't operate under 'man's' teaching but rather through God's revelation.

I thank Father for what He has done in me and how He's done it and my prayer will always be that putting this out there, just as I have needed to realize that I'm not an island, the things I share in the blog will help someone else come to a realization of our relationship with the Father. In Jesus' name.

I apologize for the lineup on this post and previous posts.  I have been trying to copy and paste into the blog from a word document and I thought I had the misalignment figured via the fonts.  it didn't work.

Future posts will be entered directly into the blog and I'll see how that goes.  Thank you for bearing with me.

11-14-2015          The Watchman part 3

Again, what the Lord said to me is in bold. Take note that everything is in bold this time except in the
scriptural references and the summary. I’ve used italics in the summary to indicate my additions.
And, as in part one and two, I have separated lines out for easier reading.
This is the final part of the Watchman, so I’ll share what Father has shared with me pertaining
to this particular prophecy at the end.

On 9-30-2014 Father gave me the third and final installment of the Watchman. Didn’t know
that this was the final part until He gave it to me and “that’s it. There is no more.”

Next time I’ll share some of the events that God put before me so as to confirm that this
prophecy indeed came from Him.

I AM the Lord God who created the heavens and the earth.

I have set all things in their respective places at My good pleasure.

I know the beginning and I know the end.

I have established the beginning yet I have given man a choice.

Man can choose to follow Me or go his own way.

To choose to go his own way, man opens himself up to the promptings and temptations of the Evil One, to fall into his snares, the end of which is man’s own destruction.

What is destruction, My children?

Separation from Me and My love – forever.

Have you considered forever?

Consider pain and torment.

Consider lusting after something and never being able to attain it or to be satisfied or fulfilled. All to which there is no end.

What is eternal life, My children?

Living in Me and in My love.

Being always satisfied, never wanting.

And because you abide in My will, freedom – to do what you will because you abide in My will, which is My love.

As you consider the well-being of others, I will lift you up before them (in this world and in Mine).

I AM –

all that you ever need,

all that you should truly desire.

I know your hearts and I will open My storehouses of blessings unto you My children because of your obedience.

Let My angels guide you.

Let My angels serve you.

I have set them about you,

let them perform their appointed tasks.


Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was
God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him there was nothing made.

Rev. 4:11 You are worthy, oh Lord, to receive glory and honor and power for You have created all things and for your pleasure they are created.

Rev. 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending says the Lord …

Prov. 3:19 The Lord by wisdom has founded the earth and by understanding He has established the heavens.

Josh 24:15 If it seems evil to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve … as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

Matt. 6:24 No man can serve two masters, he will hate one and love the other or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Matt. 25:31-46 … (the sheep served God and were welcomed into His kingdom. The goats did not serve God and were cast out) … (v46) and these (the goats) will go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous (the sheep) into life eternal.

1 Corinth. 2:9 … Eye has not seen no ear heard nor has it entered into the heart of man the things God has prepared for those who love him.

Rev. 20:11-15 I saw a great white throne … and every man was judged according to their works and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death …

Matt. 25:31-46 (v34-40) come, blessed of My Father, … fed Me, gave Me drink, clothed Me, visited Me when I was sick, visited Me in jail … because you have done it to the least of My brothers, you have done it to Me.

Romans 15:2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good so that he is edified.

Phil. 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ.

Phil. 1:20-24 … for I am torn between the two, desiring to be with Christ, which is far better or to stay here (in this world) which is more needful for you.

Heb. 4:12 The Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing, even dividing apart the soul and spirit, the joints and the marrow, discerning the thoughts the intents of the heart.

Deut. 28:1-9 And it will come to pass if you listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God and do all His commandments … the Lord shall command His blessings upon your storehouses … if you keep His commandments and walk in His ways.

Heb. 1:13-14 But to which of His angels did He say at any time “Sit on My right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”? Aren’t they all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who are the heirs of salvation?

Psalms 91:1-16 (v11) He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. (read the full psalm to see its full effect)

Heb. 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God must believe that He is and He rewards those who diligently seek Him.

We allow angels to perform their tasks in our lives because we believe God desires what is best for us.


As promised – what Father has shared with me about the ‘Watchman’:

Father shared the Watchman with me in September 2014 on three separate days. The month and days
are significant, that is the numbers that represent the dates have significant meaning, though I didn’t
realize that until after receiving the third segment.


There are several listings for number meanings but they all pretty much agree with the two I narrowed it down to, both of which proclaim biblical foundations indicating that is the meaning of the number is based on passages from the bible. One of the lists I use may be found on
www.biblenumbersforlife.com.

September is the ninth month. Nine represents ‘completeness from the Father’. This means that
Father has declared it in Heaven, therefore it already is, we now just wait for the manifestation here on earth. Just as with creation, Father declared it and it was so, the heavens, the earth, water, land, etc. and He continues to declare things to be (Gen. chapter 1 & 2) – even if we don’t see the manifestation of it right away, It doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t true – it just hasn’t happened yet.

Daniel (Dan. Chapter 4) Daniel interprets one of Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams where the king would live in the fields like a wild animal, which came to pass during the king’s lifetime. The prophet interpreted another dream for the king (Daniel chapter 2) pertaining to a stature made of gold, silver, brass, iron and clay. Part of this dream was for Nebuchadnezzar’ current kingdom and part was for future kingdoms. 

Isaiah 7:14 God promises the birth of Jesus which didn’t happen for over 700 years. 

 God is timeless – 1Peter 3:8:… one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, that is to say He is not bound by our concepts of time, and 

Isaiah 46:9-10 … I am God … declaring the end … from the beginning … God knows the beginning and the end and time is meaningless to Him.

Father gave me the first segment of the Watchman on 9/24. The date represents the ‘priesthood’, we
are a royal priesthood (1:Peter 2:9) and the 24th represents “We are a royal priesthood before God
Almighty designated to bring God’s redemption to the world, at His timing, through creative works. We will experience a break with tradition and Father will provide new methods of reaching the lost.”

As believers, we are called to bring the gospel to the world. Not everyone will do it in the same way but God will provide unique ways for his ‘priests’, individually, to bring the Word to the lost and He will do it in His timing.. Even where people may have a similar, God has given each a unique way to perform that task.

The second segment came on 9/26. This date represents ‘redemption’. God desires ALL to come to
repentance (2 Peter 3:9). “In God’s perfect timing and through and maybe even because of man’s
weakness, the Gospel of Jesus Christ will bring redemption not just to the lost but the church as well.

Not only does the ‘world’ need to come into God’s kingdom, but his church (the body of Christ) has
gotten off track and needs to come back into true fellowship with the Father.

The third segment came on 9/30 and represents ‘commitment’. We need to offer sincere reverence and ‘Godly fear’ for the Lord (Heb. 12:28). “There is a new responsibility to God’s Law. Not just the Ten Commandments (as such) but His ‘Law of Love’. Those who are truly washed in the blood of Jesus Christ will find a new dedication in serving God. We need to push forward and not falter.

Christians will start living for God as ‘God intended. We will know that He is the only true and living God and we will live our lives accordingly. We will also operate in God’s will sharing what we have with those around us (John 21:15-17)

In the Priesthood (day 1)

Father reminds us the duties of the watchman (see Ezek. Chpt. 37) and gives us
some encouragement that the enemy is not overpowering (2 Kings chpt. 6). He reminds us that Gideon (Judges chpt. 7) and Elijah (1 Kings chpt. 18) faced seemingly insurmountable odds, God gave them victory. As an extra added measure, He reminds of the walls of Jericho (Josh. Chpt. 6). He reminds us that if we keep Him first, He will give us victory (Matt. Chpt. 6) and that He inhabits our efforts (James chpt. 2). He also reminds us that things are going to start happening in the ‘near future’.

He asks us if we are ready for battle – prepare our hearts, prepare our souls (Mark chpt. 12) and put on the armor of God (Eph. Chpt 6).

He also shared with me that He has raised up many children for this time, not just one particular
individual or one particular church but ‘many’. He caps it all with encouragement to trust Him
completely and put our faith into action.

We are His royal priesthood, called to do His work in this world, no matter what that task may be for
each individual.

The Redemption (day 2).

I like the way this one starts: it started out as a brief conversation although as He started with
‘remember the Watchman?’ which indicated it was more than just a ‘how are ya doin’ today?’ thing.

I understood that the ‘darkness’ wasn’t just storm clouds in the sky. Father showed me it wasn’t just
the darkness the world is in but it also represented the darkness in which the church (body of Christ) is operating in, for the most part. The rays of sunshine streaking those clouds was a reminder that God
hasn’t forgotten us. There is still hope. There is always hope – as long as we take a breath or Father
hasn’t called us home yet.

I related to Elijah’s loneliness (1 Kings cpt. 19) where he told God that Israel had walked away, the
prophets were slain and he was the only one left and they wanted to kill him! I relate in that last winter (Nov./Dec. 2014) I was looking for confirmation as to that which Father was saying to me and I felt that I wasn’t getting that confirmation. I was feeling pretty alone then. I’ll relate this incident in another entry, later. This is what I indicated I would share next time – my confirmation between Nov. & Dec.

What we have to remember today is that all the gifts, all the talents, all the capabilities which God gives us are to encourage us to press on and to help others to do the same. They are tools teaching us how to live in God’s love (John chpt. 15) and help others to do the same. He says ‘don’t quench the Spirit’ (1 Thess. 5:19), that means don’t prohibit the Spirit (the Holy Ghost) from working in you and through you but rather allow Him permission to operate in our lives so we might be edified as well as those around us. Faith without works is dead (James chpt. 2) so we should allow the Holy Ghost to work through us to accomplish God’s will.

God has an army. He’s always has an army. That’s why, when Judas brought the soldiers from the priest to arrest Him and Peter and the other disciples were ready to defend Him, Jesus could declare “Don’t you think that I can, even now, pray to the Father and He will quickly give me more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matt. chpt. 26). But Father wants us to live in His love (John chpt. 15) so we can be true exponents of that love to the world.

We are called to show the way in which the world should go to attain eternal life.

The Commitment (day 3)

Father reminds us of who He is and what He has done. He is Creator. He has set everything that is into motion and He has given man a choice so we can freely choose to follow Him – or not (Gen. chpt. 2) God gave Adam & Eve freedom to eat of all the trees in the garden except one and that one was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (a choice – to do or not to do). He tells us the results of which choice we make – living in God’s love or eternal life (Rev. chpt. 21-22) or disobedience which is eternal death, the lake of fire (Rev. chpt 20).

As an expression of His love living in and through us Father encourages to always consider others to the edification of everyone (Rom. Chpt. 14, 15 & Eph. Chpt. 4).

God reminds us that He is all that we need because He already knows those needs even before we ask. (Matt. chpt. 6) therefore we should desire Him above all else (Matt. chpt. 22 & Exod. Chpt 20).

Through our obedience, He will bless us (1 Corinth. 2:9).

He has set His angels charge over us. Let them help us.

Psalms 91 Though ‘angels’ here refer to bearing up Jesus (remember Jesus in the wilderness (Luke chpt. 4))

We are joint heirs with Jesus, then if heirs we also can say ‘Abba (Daddy)’ and even though we may suffer persecution with Him, we shall also be glorified with Him (Rom. Chpt.8) thereby enjoying many of the same privileges Jesus has (had) especially in this world.

Matt. 18:10 Be careful not to despise one of these little ones for I tell you, in heaven, their angels always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven.

If children have angels, why should we suppose those angels leave us as we grow older? Unless, of course, we choose to walk away from the Lord.

In the ‘Watchman’ God establishes who He is, what He has done and what He intends to do.

We are His royal priesthood intended to carry His gospel of love to the world.
So that the world might come to the Father, through Jesus Christ, repenting its sins and be repatriated
(saved with the Father.

There is a life to live so there are choices to make:

Learn to live in His love

Come to an understanding of our relationship with Him (and with those around us)

We (believers) are sons and daughters of the Most High God through our ‘big brother’ Jesus Christ.

Draw closer to Father in that relationship because the Holy Ghost is alive and well within us.

Put our faith into action by believing God and serving and edifying those around us

Because we now know, beyond a shadow of any doubt that God is indeed God and we are
indeed His children we should be living like we not only know this (intellectually) but understand in our hearts it as well.
