Time Text
Ezekiel's Watchman Call 00:02:28
Jennifer, how were you called to be a watchman?
All right.
Let me give you the short version.
I was at a church.
They used to go to Nicaragua every year to do missions.
And I asked, I was so excited.
I said, can I go?
Can I go?
And they're like, of course.
I got there.
I'm like, can I go home, please?
I mean, it was so hot.
So, I've been on those missions trips many times.
Oh, my God.
I was starving.
I was exhausted.
I was doing the media.
Yes.
And I came in really like we were staying on the side of an orphanage, and we had like bunk beds, and there was like a hot tin roof, and there was a mosquito net, and you could hear the iguanas, you know, going over there.
I'm like, oh, my God, please get me out of here.
You know, rapture me, get me out of here.
And the Lord, I was exhausted.
And the Lord said, get your Bible.
And I'm like, Lord, you know, I'm exhausted.
He said, get your Bible.
I said, yes, Lord.
He said, get your flashlight.
Everyone else is asleep in the whole dorm.
And I began to read.
I began to open my Bible and he said, go to Ezekiel 3.
And I'm like, I'd never even read Ezekiel.
I was two years old in the Lord.
I mean, you know, you're not reading that kind of thing.
Yeah, what is this Ezekiel?
It's that wheel within the wheel.
And so I read Ezekiel 3 and it says, you know, warn them for me.
If you warn them and they turn from their wicked ways, then they'll be saved.
But if you don't warn them, the blood will be on your hands.
And the fear of the Lord just rested upon the spirit of the fear of the Lord.
I was shaking.
And then the Lord said, now go to Ezekiel 33.
And I'm twisting over the pages.
And it essentially says the same thing.
It was a double confirmation.
Amazing.
The Ezekiel 33 message, the blood on our hands.
God is always looking for someone who is brave and bold enough to speak forth the truth to a people who have no willingness to hear it.
But at least God gives them the chance.
That's why the warning, the watchman, is so important.
God is trying to wake up the church.
He's trying to wake up the world.
And the watchman may be persecuted, but it is worth the price because in heaven, I'm telling you, the eternal rewards for the watchman intercessor are great.
Amen.
Amen.
So how does a watchman get a higher perspective?
I call it building towers of prayer.
And so it all starts with prayer.
You know, it starts with prayer.
It ends with prayer.
Our whole entire relationship with the Lord is predicated on prayer.
Wings Like Eagles 00:00:45
That's our communication with him.
That's our lifeline.
And so we need to sit and wait upon the Lord.
I love what Cindy said when I was talking with her.
I was with her at the Deborah's United conference.
And she says, you know, anymore, she says, I just go in my prayer closet and I just wait.
I don't even pray.
I don't ask.
I just wait upon the Lord.
And that's so difficult for so many people to do in our society because your phone is at Facebook and ding, ding, ding, ding.
She says, I just wait on the Lord.
And you ascend as you wait.
You ascend as you pray.
And you're able to get that bird's eye view.
You know, the Bible says those who wait on the Lord, he'll renew their strength.
They'll mount up with wings like eagles, right?
And that mounting up with wings like eagles, the eagles a symbol of the prophetic.
And so when we mount up with wings like eagles, we are gaining that overview.
