Some people believe God has assigned them as watchmen
on the wall. In that assignment they feel their primary job is to announce what
is approaching. Isaiah the prophet wrote
just the opposite. He said, "O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your
walls; they will pray day and night continually." (Isaiah 62:6) The
watchman’s primary assignment is prayer.
In this season of Church history we are doing a lot of
announcing. Some of this announcing has
been without inquiring prayer. Inquiring prayer will actually reveal the
substance of the word the Lord wants you to announce from your place of
prophetic insight. Prayer that accurately discerns a Kingdom reality brings
forth the discernment required to craft a wise announcement.
If you are called as one who stands watch on the wall, make
sure you spend the majority of your time in prayer seeking the heart of
God. You may find yourself standing silent
in the darkness while other watchmen are shouting unfounded warnings based only
on moving shadows of suspicion. In the end,
when you finally speak, your prayerful announcement will carry the authority and
wisdom of God because it will separate truth from error and suspicion from fact.
Thank you for this wisdom.
