The Hour of the Watch . . . Proph= et Phyllis Ford Decem= ber 4, 2011

Prophetic Insights:=

As prayer begins to take center stage in the midst of the hour that we have approached, I believe th= at we are probably standing at the most important time of release that we will receive from the Lord. Prayer is key to obtaining the secret anointing oil = in these last days. We will need it more than ever during this month. The abil= ity to hear God, find out where we need to be and how we need to get there is a priority now. The best vehicle to help us understand as we navigate through trouble times will be found in our (GPS) God’s Prayer System. Through that layered system of prayer, our watching before Him and our receiving the tim= es of refreshing many things will become clear, revealed and properly discerne= d. Our understanding will increase as our love deepens for the Lord with whom we f= ellowship and receive counsel.

Utilizing our GPS will b= ecome the most effective way to replenish what we are missing. It will strengthen areas of us where we lack the ability/wisdom in a matter. It is definitely a door we must enter into, in order to understand what is going around us. If= we lack discipline in our life, in the future it might determine whether we wi= ll overcome the perils of tomorrow or succumb to the challenges of the day. We are approaching the new day and there= are many challenges before us, it is the time that we utilize even brandish key weapons and strategies that the work of God may be accomplished in us.=

God wants us, unconditio= nally, not on our time, but on His time. It's important for us to be what He has c= alled us to be--The walk, the calling, gifting’s are all being fine-tuned now as = we press in before His presence---His Heart is to prepare us for this next hou= r. We are turning a major corner and we will now see God’s wisdom activated in= us (that was already there) come alive so that we may walk purposefully. Much = to be done—and the clock is ticking. What we are looking for in areas of manif= estation has so much to do with us and what are we doing. Will we prepare? Will we g= et ready? Is what we are doing lining up with what we are expecting God to do = for us?

The Hour of the Watch

The Lord spoke in me tha= t in this month of December that we have now entered into the hour of the watch—= when the watch in times of prayer before Him can be extremely significance but a= lso powerfully effective in this hour. In the word of God there are scriptures = that point to very important events, battles, and victories. At these particular= times (the hour of that watch) conveyed significant events that could give us gui= delines and strategies in prayer. In military terms “watch” was referred to as the = time that various military personnel were to stand guard to make sure there were= no surprise attacks from the approaching enemy. The watchman, in the word of G= od, was uniquely positioned so they could warn the city as to what was coming a= nd to prepare the people before it arrived.

Many of God’s people are= in watch mode in this hour. They are watching, waiting before the presence of = the Lord. They are crying out before the Lord in prayer over their nations. I am going to share the two watches that the Lord spoke to me and instructed that they would be very significant in this hour. Prayer at whatever time we pra= y is always strategic whenever it is released. Let’s look at the following two w= atches—and they relate to the prayers that we should pray during this month of Decembe= r.

God’s manifold wisdom ca= rry within it His counsel concerning us, it includes His plan of redemption, it speaks into our destinies, and carries within it timing and manifestation of things to come. Let me qualify, th= ere are many interpretations, versions, patterns on “watches.” I will be sharing the one guideline that I use and some of its strategies. I encourage you to pray for greater revelation, dig deeper, and ask God to teach you concerning prayer watches.

As you look closer in Go= d’s word we see Jesus praying during the night before the Father. (Matthew 14:22-23, Mark 1:35, Luke 11:4, Mark 14:32, Luke 5:15-16 and more). Paul sp= eaks of his time of watchings. (2 Corinthians 6:5, 2 Corinthians 11:27). These scriptures will enlighten you—encourage you to come closer to Him your time= of prayer and consecration. Many of you are already watchmen on the wall. Let’= s now pray for those learning about prayer watches. Because the Lord is raising u= p a powerful army of prayer warriors that are serious about the things of God a= nd are ready to be deployed for duty in this hour.

The Prayer Strategy

December is the 12^th month and we are appr= oaching the year 2012. The Lord showed me a strategy that during (December) the 12th month that we should pray during the 2^nd & 3^rd wa= tch hour. (They both contain midnight-the 12^th hour.) The 2^nd watch covers 9pm to 12am midnight. The 3^rd watch covers 12am mid= night and 3am. So we pray through this window of December that these things come = to pass—In Jesus Name.

Praying through the 2^nd Watch <= /b> (9pm to 12am midnight)

At midnight Paul & S= ilas prayed and sang songs of praise. (Acts 23:23) Prayer and Praise will be a mighty weapon in the hands of the God’s people. This is a time to pray to b= reak people free from bondages imposed by man and the enemy. Pray that in the mo= nth of December:

We need to pray for our family members salvation—(the jailer and his family were saved.)

Press in and pray for those who are incarcerated= and are going through their most lonely times. Decree that some of the greatest revivals are going to occur in the prisons.=

Praying through the 2^nd watch which i= ncludes the hour that the Egyptians gave the Children of Israel some of their possessions before they left Egypt. Only God can touch a people to ren= der their substance to others, this was great favor. Pray for Israel’s fav= or and protection in this hour. Pray for favor to be released upon the pe= ople of God. Pray that those who need to transition from the place where th= ey are to places of safety & deliverance, in December.

Pray for the outpouring of prayer in our houses,= our churches, our cities—pray for prayer revivals, prayer gatherings and t= hat blankets & canopies of prayer will be released over the land and t= he people during December.

Pray that God’s people would be awaken out of th= eir slumber and come into the place of Gethsemane where prayer with Jesus = will strengthen them. Pray for protection from trials and temptations that = we might face in this hour.

Pray that things that we need for the kingdom wo= uld be released in this hour. That as the supplies were gathered, for the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness, that the provision for t= he work of God will be released to feed, clothe and provide water, housin= g to people who will most need it in this month of December.<= /li>

Praying through the third watch: (12am mid= night to 3am) in the month of Dec. 2011

Pray that in the month of December people will c= ome out of slumber and awaken to salvation, their destinies, their purpose= s as well as fulfillment of the work of the Kingdom. (There are several biblical references of slumber happened during midnight (Acts 20:7-12, Matthew 13:25, Ruth 3:1-10). =

This is a time of heighten level of satanic activity. Come against the spirit of violence & terrors in the nig= ht. Psalm 91—pray Ps 68:1 Let God arise and His enemies be scattered, let = them also that hate him flee before him. Ps 68:4 Praise the name of the Lor= d. Ps 68:9 Pray down the rain of heaven. So much in that Psalm to pray fo= rth in December.

Pray that the leadership of God would come toget= her to pray, break bread until the breaking of the day (even through the breaking into 2012). Pray in December that unity, commitment, fellowship, dedi= cation for the work of God would supersede titles, and our own shortcomings. = Pray for a divine intervention to come upon the people of God as they gathe= r. Miracles, signs and wonders, (Act 20:7-12)

Pray that the people of God hearts would turn to= wards the understanding of His righteous judgments, and his precepts. In the month of December. Pray that Israel’s heart would turn towards the Mes= siah in this hour. Pray to cover and protect Israel leadership and land in = this time. (Psalms 119:62)

Pray that the spirit of diligence that was upon = Paul and the crew, the mercies of God that the men experienced getting thro= ugh the perils of the night would be upon God’s people to help us in upcoming challenges that we face. (Acts 27:25-44) Speak to every storm of peril, terrorism attacks, violence upon our land in this month. Speak peace in Jesus name.

Pray for a heighten level of consecration in pra= yer would come upon the people. (Mark 1:35) Jesus taught the disciples how= to pray—there is a key for us in this one. (Luke 11:5) State your major cases before= God in the court of heaven in December before 2012. There is so much you c= an pray through with the “The Lord Prayer” including emergency provisions= for coming trouble, the important thing is the praying forth the Kingdom—t= hat God’s Kingdom come, God’s will be done. (Luke 11).
Pray for marriages to be healed and whole, for t= hose who God has ordained to be married in this season, that we all come in= to a new revelation of the mystery of Christ and the church. Pray that in t= he midnight (whenever that might be) when the bridegroom comes—we would be ready & prepared to go out to meet Him. Please note that at midnig= ht Boaz woke up at midnight and saw Ruth at his feet. <= /li>

I have only scraped the surface but my prayer is that you will pray no matter what. If all of us wo= uld be on our watch and pray into various windows during various time zones, can you imagine the effects that could occur? The word of God is packed with ev= ents where men and women prayed and how mighty things begin to happen, shake, ch= ange even rendered help in the course and destinies of God’s people. Let’s not j= ust pray, but pray through. Scriptures about watches: (Ex 14:24, Judges 7:19, 1 Samuel 11:11, Ps 90:4, Lam 2:19, Ps 119:148).

Special Note: Pray over all previous prayer notes especially for Nov.-Dec. Intercessors and watchmen have been feeling serious concerns for our nation. There has been = growing concerns about acts of terrorism, war, preemptive strikes. Food crisis, wat= er crisis, and even livestock have been areas of prayer. Acts of violence with= in our land is also a prayer concerns. Earthquakes are still a major concern, = so we continue to pray.

I remember the Lord said that something would occur during this time that would have a serious effect on the political arena. T= he Lord told me that our economy is on a serious course and may not hold up th= roughout this month of December. There is something unforeseen that will possibly af= fect its present state.

We have a short to almost no window of time left to t= urn around our economy before 2012. The Word of the Lord Nov.—Dec. 2011 stated = that by the end of November the nations would be at a point of confusion as to h= ow to get the economy back on course. (The end of November 2011 we saw that actually play out.) We must pray a= nd the God of Heaven will hear us and reveal to us divine instructions, ways of es= cape and reversals of the enemy’s devices.

Remember at midnight although the system had bound (P= aul & Silas) but God shook that system to its core and that same system had= to release them. It became a testimony to their victory. God prepared a door f= or them to come out of that which imprisoned them. Watch what God is preparing= for us.
