In Jerusalem there were those who stood upon the
walls of the city to watch to see what was coming. They were the eyes and ears
of the city when there was darkness. There were segments with the 4th watch
being three hours before the dawn. Prophetically, those who took the 4th watch
were preparers for the coming dawn for the city.
In this day and age, the Lord is asking prophets
to prepare the body of Christ for the dawn of a new season by being the eyes
and ears of the bride. The body of
Christ benefits from the gifting of the prophet/seer and we have a responsibility
to hear their words and take them into account in our perceptions and decision
making.
In my home church, and ministry network, we are
blessed with several mature prophets who hear and see beyond the walls of our
building and physical location. As an Apostolic ministry we partner with them
and provide a platform for the voice of the Lord to go forth through them.
We will periodically be posting words from
contributing authors who are trusted prophet/seers who have influence in and
beyond our ministry. We will be sub-titling these posts as "A 4th Watch
Post" to identify them clearly and will include a mini-bio of the
authoring prophet/seer at the base of the post.
Following is the third post contributed as A 4th
Watch Post. May it bring you life more abundantly to see beyond the walls!
In Him,
Harvey Wittmier
Pastor CrossFire Church, Englewood CO

"Do not blame others
for your circumstances, either specifically or as a people group."
|
"
I am impressed in my spirit that there is
a spirit of accusation in our nation and in God's people. Do not be deceived my
friends. We are not to be a part of this
deceptive spirit which comes to us as righteous judgement but in truth is a
deception with the temptation toward self- righteousness and pride. Our
judgement has been shaded by our culture’s lies and victim-hood teaching. Do
not blame others for your circumstances, either specifically or as a people
group. Stop participating in the accuser’s spirit and ways. The work of the
deceiver to kill, steal and destroy God's work in our nation has been at work
since our founding; teaching lies about our nation, our faith and God's design
for our lives and attitudes toward one another.
Let God shine His light of truth into your heart. He is your deliverer
and hope. (THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN in Rev 12:7-12)".
