=== Ezekiel's Watchman Call (02:28) ===

[00:00:00]  Jennifer, how were you called to be a watchman?
[00:00:03]  All right.
[00:00:03]  Let me give you the short version.
[00:00:05]  I was at a church.
[00:00:07]  They used to go to Nicaragua every year to do missions.
[00:00:09]  And I asked, I was so excited.
[00:00:10]  I said, can I go?
[00:00:11]  Can I go?
[00:00:12]  And they're like, of course.
[00:00:13]  I got there.
[00:00:13]  I'm like, can I go home, please?
[00:00:14]  I mean, it was so hot.
[00:00:18]  So, I've been on those missions trips many times.
[00:00:20]  Oh, my God.
[00:00:21]  I was starving.
[00:00:22]  I was exhausted.
[00:00:23]  I was doing the media.
[00:00:25]  Yes.
[00:00:28]  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.
[00:00:38]  I'm like, oh, my God, please get me out of here.
[00:00:39]  You know, rapture me, get me out of here.
[00:00:41]  And the Lord, I was exhausted.
[00:00:44]  And the Lord said, get your Bible.
[00:00:46]  And I'm like, Lord, you know, I'm exhausted.
[00:00:48]  He said, get your Bible.
[00:00:49]  I said, yes, Lord.
[00:00:50]  He said, get your flashlight.
[00:00:51]  Everyone else is asleep in the whole dorm.
[00:00:53]  And I began to read.
[00:00:54]  I began to open my Bible and he said, go to Ezekiel 3.
[00:00:56]  And I'm like, I'd never even read Ezekiel.
[00:00:58]  I was two years old in the Lord.
[00:00:59]  I mean, you know, you're not reading that kind of thing.
[00:01:01]  Yeah, what is this Ezekiel?
[00:01:02]  It's that wheel within the wheel.
[00:01:04]  And so I read Ezekiel 3 and it says, you know, warn them for me.
[00:01:08]  If you warn them and they turn from their wicked ways, then they'll be saved.
[00:01:13]  But if you don't warn them, the blood will be on your hands.
[00:01:16]  And the fear of the Lord just rested upon the spirit of the fear of the Lord.
[00:01:21]  I was shaking.
[00:01:22]  And then the Lord said, now go to Ezekiel 33.
[00:01:25]  And I'm twisting over the pages.
[00:01:27]  And it essentially says the same thing.
[00:01:29]  It was a double confirmation.
[00:01:31]  Amazing.
[00:01:31]  The Ezekiel 33 message, the blood on our hands.
[00:01:34]  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.
[00:01:42]  But at least God gives them the chance.
[00:01:44]  That's why the warning, the watchman, is so important.
[00:01:46]  God is trying to wake up the church.
[00:01:48]  He's trying to wake up the world.
[00:01:50]  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.
[00:01:58]  Amen.
[00:01:59]  Amen.
[00:02:00]  So how does a watchman get a higher perspective?
[00:02:04]  I call it building towers of prayer.
[00:02:06]  And so it all starts with prayer.
[00:02:08]  You know, it starts with prayer.
[00:02:10]  It ends with prayer.
[00:02:10]  Our whole entire relationship with the Lord is predicated on prayer.

=== Wings Like Eagles (00:45) ===

[00:02:13]  That's our communication with him.
[00:02:14]  That's our lifeline.
[00:02:16]  And so we need to sit and wait upon the Lord.
[00:02:18]  I love what Cindy said when I was talking with her.
[00:02:21]  I was with her at the Deborah's United conference.
[00:02:23]  And she says, you know, anymore, she says, I just go in my prayer closet and I just wait.
[00:02:27]  I don't even pray.
[00:02:28]  I don't ask.
[00:02:29]  I just wait upon the Lord.
[00:02:31]  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.
[00:02:37]  She says, I just wait on the Lord.
[00:02:38]  And you ascend as you wait.
[00:02:40]  You ascend as you pray.
[00:02:42]  And you're able to get that bird's eye view.
[00:02:44]  You know, the Bible says those who wait on the Lord, he'll renew their strength.
[00:02:47]  They'll mount up with wings like eagles, right?
[00:02:50]  And that mounting up with wings like eagles, the eagles a symbol of the prophetic.
[00:02:54]  And so when we mount up with wings like eagles, we are gaining that overview.
