"Eyes Wide Open Pt 2: Ep 4: The Watchers and Their Divine Assignment"

WEBVTT

00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:05.097
Welcome back to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast.

00:00:05.617 --> 00:00:12.377
And what a powerful episode that we've been working through. Eyes wide open.

00:00:12.697 --> 00:00:16.037
And we are finalizing our part two series.

00:00:16.377 --> 00:00:21.557
You are armed and ready. I don't know, I felt like these episodes were like

00:00:21.557 --> 00:00:28.437
training episodes. That's what I felt in the spirit that you guys are ready, ready, ready, trained.

00:00:29.217 --> 00:00:36.837
And so you're all ready to go. So let's get started on Eyes Wide Open Part 2, Episode 4.

00:00:37.097 --> 00:00:39.617
This actually is the last episode of this series.

00:00:40.157 --> 00:00:47.017
It's called The Watchers, Eyes That See What Others Don't. You are well-trained for this episode.

00:00:47.357 --> 00:00:53.157
Not others don't. The Watchers, Eyes That See What Others Ignore. Let's get it right.

00:00:53.977 --> 00:00:57.757
I'm your host, Connie Morris. And today we're going to talk about a prophetic

00:00:57.757 --> 00:01:02.357
assignment that's often overlooked, but deeply powerful.

00:01:02.637 --> 00:01:06.937
It's the watchers, eyes that see what others overlook.

00:01:07.277 --> 00:01:10.677
And so I'll get more into that after we open in prayer.

00:01:10.917 --> 00:01:16.997
What a powerful assignment that you have been given since you are now filled with the Holy Ghost.

00:01:17.297 --> 00:01:22.237
But actually given an assignment, I think it seemed like for this,

00:01:22.417 --> 00:01:25.477
these last episodes, I've been talking a lot.

00:01:25.637 --> 00:01:29.057
They've been a little bit long. They've been 30 minutes or more,

00:01:29.217 --> 00:01:30.737
about 34 minutes on average.

00:01:31.397 --> 00:01:35.977
And I feel like this last episode is going to really charge you up to actually

00:01:35.977 --> 00:01:42.817
begin to pray in the spirit more and get you ready for what's coming for our next series.

00:01:43.477 --> 00:01:50.117
I won't tell you via surprise because I don't know. I got to pray through. I got 241 devotionals.

00:01:50.257 --> 00:01:52.937
I don't know where God's going to lead me, but let's pray.

00:01:53.717 --> 00:01:59.957
Hello and welcome to our podcast, and we're going to pray our opening prayer.

00:02:00.237 --> 00:02:06.377
Father God, just like Jabez, we come to you not timid, but with holy confidence.

00:02:06.377 --> 00:02:11.877
We ask you to bless us indeed, not just with what we need, but with what brings you glory.

00:02:12.137 --> 00:02:16.117
Enlarge our territory, Lord. Stretch us beyond our comfort zones.

00:02:16.557 --> 00:02:21.877
Expand our faith, our purpose, our capacity to influence, to lead,

00:02:21.877 --> 00:02:25.317
and love. Let your hand be upon us.

00:02:25.557 --> 00:02:29.457
Guide every step we take, protecting every listener.

00:02:29.897 --> 00:02:36.857
Tuning in today, O Lord, keep us from evil within us. Keep us and around us.

00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:42.890
And let us not cause any pain, but instead be vessels of healing and wholeness

00:02:42.890 --> 00:02:46.610
wherever you send us. In Jesus' name, amen.

00:02:46.730 --> 00:02:51.690
So let's get going with this new episode, our final episode of this series.

00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:57.210
The Watcher's Eyes That See What Others Ignore.

00:02:58.450 --> 00:03:02.490
Wow, this isn't about the platform. This is about, once again,

00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:09.890
the posture, because God is raising up women who aren't just gifted, but they are watching.

00:03:10.190 --> 00:03:16.230
They have their eyes wide open. Eyes wide open is eyes wide open in the spirit

00:03:16.230 --> 00:03:19.550
so they can see what God is doing.

00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:22.410
So what does it mean to be a watcher?

00:03:22.930 --> 00:03:28.970
So let's anchor in three powerful passages. Let's go to Ezekiel 37, verse 7.

00:03:29.950 --> 00:03:34.570
Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel.

00:03:35.330 --> 00:03:40.650
So hear the word I speak and give them warning for me.

00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:46.830
Sometimes I feel like a watcher. A watcher isn't a gossip, a gossiper.

00:03:47.270 --> 00:03:51.690
It's not a watcher isn't a gossiper. A watcher isn't just a dreamer.

00:03:51.890 --> 00:03:54.090
A watcher is someone with spiritual

00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:59.290
eyes who sees before and speaks with wisdom. How powerful is that?

00:03:59.470 --> 00:04:01.770
A watcher isn't a gossiper.

00:04:01.970 --> 00:04:03.890
It isn't just a dreamer.

00:04:04.531 --> 00:04:12.771
A watcher is someone with spiritual eyes who sees before and speaks with wisdom. They see a before.

00:04:13.071 --> 00:04:16.771
God told Ezekiel, I made you a watchman.

00:04:17.571 --> 00:04:23.971
I didn't make you a man, not your title. God placed you in a position of insight.

00:04:24.291 --> 00:04:26.811
But here's a part we often miss.

00:04:27.271 --> 00:04:30.671
Being a watcher means being responsible.

00:04:30.971 --> 00:04:36.771
You don't just see it, you must steward it. So we covered that part about how

00:04:36.771 --> 00:04:38.331
to steward what you birth.

00:04:38.671 --> 00:04:43.211
So I'm not going to go over that process. But when you see it and you birth

00:04:43.211 --> 00:04:46.951
it out, you have to be responsible and steward it.

00:04:47.391 --> 00:04:49.371
You know, it's like being a security guard.

00:04:49.971 --> 00:04:53.271
If they hire you to be a security guard or a police officer,

00:04:53.751 --> 00:04:59.091
you're not going to just always run and call for backup. What is your job to do?

00:04:59.231 --> 00:05:02.571
Maybe you're first in call for backup. up, what can you do to maintain that

00:05:02.571 --> 00:05:04.731
security, that security post?

00:05:05.511 --> 00:05:11.751
Habakkuk 2.1 says, I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts.

00:05:11.871 --> 00:05:15.031
I will look to see what he will say to me.

00:05:15.151 --> 00:05:20.771
So as you are praying in the spirit, you will begin to see things that you probably

00:05:20.771 --> 00:05:25.371
thought you would never see or be exposed to because you're in the spirit.

00:05:25.591 --> 00:05:31.371
And so as a watchman in the spirit, some of those things are going to need to be stewarded.

00:05:31.491 --> 00:05:35.131
That means that you won't be able to go run and tell your friend because they

00:05:35.131 --> 00:05:38.791
won't understand it because it's not for them. It's spiritual.

00:05:39.031 --> 00:05:43.831
Maybe your pastor, if you're an intercessory group, maybe that group and pray it through.

00:05:44.051 --> 00:05:51.191
But we see here in Habakkuk, he said, I will stand at my watch and station myself at the raparist.

00:05:51.331 --> 00:05:55.911
So a lot of times as we pray in the spirit, we'll get information for us,

00:05:55.951 --> 00:05:59.011
but we'll also get information about other things.

00:05:59.411 --> 00:06:04.591
So watchers wait. They don't rush to speak. They don't post every vision or

00:06:04.591 --> 00:06:07.091
share every warning. They station themselves and.

00:06:08.186 --> 00:06:13.826
They get still and they expect God to speak and they don't move until he does.

00:06:14.166 --> 00:06:19.526
So as you get spirit to spirit, God will begin to trust you with his secret.

00:06:20.126 --> 00:06:26.186
And so some things are not going to be public information. It's just between

00:06:26.186 --> 00:06:32.846
you and God and that timely who you share it with and God will tell you who to share it with.

00:06:33.246 --> 00:06:37.546
And so you have to be careful as you get deeper in the spirit.

00:06:37.546 --> 00:06:39.286
And you'd be like, well, I need to share that.

00:06:39.566 --> 00:06:42.986
A lot of times people get a revelation and they want to, I'm going to go live

00:06:42.986 --> 00:06:46.386
with this. And God might not have told you to go live with that.

00:06:46.966 --> 00:06:52.406
And so you have to be very, very careful as you begin to pray in the spirit.

00:06:52.766 --> 00:06:57.566
You start to see things and you might want to think that it's time to make it

00:06:57.566 --> 00:07:02.726
a podcast or a book, but you need to continue to pray. Remember, pray until you know.

00:07:03.126 --> 00:07:07.386
Pray until he tells you to go. Pray until he tells you to speak.

00:07:07.546 --> 00:07:10.466
Otherwise, remain silent and just keep journaling.

00:07:11.206 --> 00:07:15.826
Something may be just for you. Some things may be for a special time,

00:07:16.106 --> 00:07:18.126
special place, special season.

00:07:18.506 --> 00:07:24.026
And so that's what it meant by being a steward. Here it says that watchers is

00:07:24.026 --> 00:07:26.546
someone with spiritual eyes. So you have spiritual eyes.

00:07:26.686 --> 00:07:31.286
But here where we miss it, being a watcher means being responsible.

00:07:31.686 --> 00:07:36.046
I remember saying that. But watchers wait. They don't rush to speak.

00:07:36.046 --> 00:07:39.306
They don't post every vision or share every warning.

00:07:39.546 --> 00:07:45.386
They station themselves. They get still and they expect God to speak and they

00:07:45.386 --> 00:07:46.786
don't move until he does.

00:07:46.906 --> 00:07:50.146
We understand that. But when he does move and he does speak,

00:07:50.366 --> 00:07:54.666
you still wait until he tells you when to share that information.

00:07:55.166 --> 00:07:59.586
Okay. You don't just go out because you've got a revelation. You go share it.

00:08:00.126 --> 00:08:05.966
Lately, I've been getting a lot of dreams and stuff. A lot of it is for me,

00:08:06.066 --> 00:08:09.886
but then I'm finding out that he's sharing it and making that dream.

00:08:10.046 --> 00:08:16.206
It's now kind of three-dimensional, and so then he'll tell me who to share it with.

00:08:17.288 --> 00:08:23.128
And so you just have to be very, very careful. Remember, that dream is a baby first.

00:08:23.368 --> 00:08:25.548
Then you want to make sure it's protected.

00:08:27.008 --> 00:08:30.808
Let's go to Luke 2, verse 36 to 38.

00:08:31.608 --> 00:08:36.448
Anna, I don't know why. Okay, there was also a prophet, Anna.

00:08:36.648 --> 00:08:41.848
She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

00:08:42.288 --> 00:08:46.368
She gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all.

00:08:46.908 --> 00:08:49.828
So Anna was a prophet and her goal was to pray.

00:08:50.008 --> 00:08:54.328
And her goal was to pray for the Savior to come into the world.

00:08:54.408 --> 00:08:57.328
So that was her duty, to watch and pray.

00:08:58.228 --> 00:09:02.788
Sometimes as a watcher and as you get closer to God, as you're praying,

00:09:02.988 --> 00:09:06.628
we talked about all the great things that God's going to show you and do through you.

00:09:06.728 --> 00:09:10.988
But sometimes that watching part can get, it can be boring.

00:09:11.548 --> 00:09:15.808
It's exciting because you're seeing things, but you can't share with anyone.

00:09:16.368 --> 00:09:20.428
You see what I'm saying? So it becomes you waiting until the time,

00:09:20.568 --> 00:09:22.348
and then it gets exciting.

00:09:22.548 --> 00:09:27.208
Then you go back and you pray and then you wait because God is very organized

00:09:27.208 --> 00:09:30.048
in his storytelling and his timing.

00:09:30.488 --> 00:09:34.068
And so as you pray in the spirit, but it's exciting.

00:09:34.328 --> 00:09:38.288
It can say it gets boring. If you're one who always have the big mouth that

00:09:38.288 --> 00:09:43.408
always have to run and tell everything that you know, you might not like this part.

00:09:43.408 --> 00:09:46.508
But if you want that love to have communion

00:09:46.508 --> 00:09:49.568
with God and it's not about trying to have a

00:09:49.568 --> 00:09:52.528
podcast or be someone like want

00:09:52.528 --> 00:09:56.728
to be you know you know I'm saying you're not trying to make it I told you if

00:09:56.728 --> 00:10:00.828
you allow the baby to grow God will will grow what he needs to grow in you and

00:10:00.828 --> 00:10:05.808
then who knows you'll be whatever he's called you to be and it might be big

00:10:05.808 --> 00:10:11.088
on a platform I don't know what he's going to do for you. I don't know what is planned for you.

00:10:11.288 --> 00:10:18.788
But in the position of a watcher, Anna waited for years and years until baby Jesus was born.

00:10:19.521 --> 00:10:23.981
Anna was a watcher. She stayed in position for decades, watching,

00:10:24.301 --> 00:10:26.501
praying, fasting, and listening.

00:10:26.821 --> 00:10:32.081
And when the Messiah came, she recognized him before the crowd did.

00:10:32.381 --> 00:10:36.821
That's powerful. She wasn't famous. She was faithful.

00:10:37.061 --> 00:10:41.121
If you're looking to be famous, you're going to be really disappointed.

00:10:42.241 --> 00:10:49.261
God is not into fame. He's into faithfulness, into your faithfulness.

00:10:49.621 --> 00:10:55.321
If you can be faithful with the least, he can reward you with the must, reward you with much.

00:10:55.681 --> 00:10:58.701
He also rewarder those who diligently seek you.

00:10:59.001 --> 00:11:03.461
But if you're looking to be famous, I always think famous is so temporary.

00:11:03.661 --> 00:11:07.061
You know, because who was famous last year ain't famous today.

00:11:07.061 --> 00:11:11.041
So I never looked to be famous because famous to me seemed like temporary.

00:11:11.441 --> 00:11:14.521
I'm looking for a longtime job with the Lord. How about that, you guys?

00:11:15.161 --> 00:11:21.781
Right. And so we see Anna, she wasn't famous. But to me, in my eyes, she made it to the Bible.

00:11:22.461 --> 00:11:27.941
So even though in her eyes, she wasn't famous, in my eyes, she made it to the Bible.

00:11:28.161 --> 00:11:32.521
She did something that God thought had to be listed in the Bible.

00:11:33.261 --> 00:11:38.601
She never left the temple but worshiped day and night, fasting prayer.

00:11:38.821 --> 00:11:40.441
That was her assignment.

00:11:41.501 --> 00:11:47.721
And then when Jesus came, she was able to recognize him. A lot of things are

00:11:47.721 --> 00:11:49.021
happening in this world.

00:11:49.841 --> 00:11:54.661
A lot of things are changing in this world. And yet sometimes we can't even,

00:11:54.921 --> 00:11:58.981
not we, sometimes people can't recognize a lie from a truth,

00:11:59.641 --> 00:12:03.541
a male from a female. because they're not praying.

00:12:03.801 --> 00:12:06.661
They're not watching. They're too busy trying to be famous.

00:12:07.121 --> 00:12:13.541
God asks us to be faithful. So what does it mean to be a watcher?

00:12:13.721 --> 00:12:17.501
A watcher don't just react, they discern.

00:12:18.481 --> 00:12:22.561
Discernment comes from heaven, from praying in the Spirit.

00:12:23.281 --> 00:12:28.661
Discernment is knowing by the Spirit what's good and what's bad.

00:12:29.421 --> 00:12:35.381
What is good and what's gooder? I mean, what is God's good, acceptable,

00:12:35.421 --> 00:12:38.221
and perfect will, right? How do you pick?

00:12:38.481 --> 00:12:40.941
You pick that because you discern.

00:12:41.241 --> 00:12:45.341
So you don't just always react. You discern.

00:12:46.161 --> 00:12:49.521
Watchers don't just shout. They intercede.

00:12:50.301 --> 00:12:55.581
Watchers don't just see, they warn, they war, they wait.

00:12:56.341 --> 00:13:01.121
I'm going to say it again. Watchers don't just react, they discern.

00:13:02.161 --> 00:13:05.681
Watchers don't just shout, they intercede.

00:13:07.101 --> 00:13:12.721
Watchers don't just see, they warn, they war, and they wait.

00:13:13.795 --> 00:13:18.235
You know, I had moments where I knew something was off before anything happened.

00:13:18.235 --> 00:13:21.595
I couldn't explain it, but my spirit was stirred.

00:13:21.855 --> 00:13:24.855
And sure enough, what I sensed was real.

00:13:25.275 --> 00:13:31.055
That's the grace of a watcher's anointing. And if you've been sensing things others ignore,

00:13:31.475 --> 00:13:35.715
if you've been waking up burdened with people in your heart,

00:13:35.835 --> 00:13:41.115
if you've been getting dreams, vision, or nudges from the spirit, you're not crazy.

00:13:41.115 --> 00:13:44.255
You are a watcher.

00:13:45.315 --> 00:13:49.735
Wow. I'm going to read that again in case some out there is wondering like,

00:13:49.975 --> 00:13:51.815
why does this suddenly happen?

00:13:51.835 --> 00:13:55.035
If you are a prayer and you're praying in the spirit and you're keeping your

00:13:55.035 --> 00:13:58.515
appointments with the Lord, it's going to give you more than you expect.

00:13:58.775 --> 00:14:02.535
So if your grace, if that's the grace of a watcher anointing,

00:14:02.635 --> 00:14:05.455
if you've been sensing things others ignore,

00:14:06.215 --> 00:14:09.695
if you've been waking up burdened with people on your heart,

00:14:10.375 --> 00:14:15.455
If you've been getting dreams, vision, or nudges from the Spirit, you're not crazy.

00:14:15.995 --> 00:14:17.995
You are a watcher.

00:14:18.735 --> 00:14:24.475
Let's just see. Let's just pause here and let's see, do some discernment here

00:14:24.475 --> 00:14:25.995
and see if you are a watcher.

00:14:26.255 --> 00:14:30.555
Am I willing to sit in silence to see what others miss?

00:14:31.215 --> 00:14:35.395
Sometimes you can be in a room. I think I know that I'm a watcher.

00:14:35.395 --> 00:14:39.955
You can be in a room and things are going on and you just can see,

00:14:40.195 --> 00:14:44.435
you just notice some things that are off, people that are off,

00:14:44.695 --> 00:14:45.815
things that are being missed.

00:14:46.355 --> 00:14:50.635
Some people are too busy trying to be seen that they don't even get their own

00:14:50.635 --> 00:14:54.715
stuff right, you know, and you're just watching, you know.

00:14:55.055 --> 00:15:00.135
Have I honored the nudges and promptings from God? I can say yes.

00:15:00.935 --> 00:15:06.075
Yes. I don't know if I hit them all. usually I keep them written down and I

00:15:06.075 --> 00:15:09.355
share something like, you know, like I said, a other dream I had,

00:15:09.395 --> 00:15:11.735
I had to share it. I thought it was for me.

00:15:11.895 --> 00:15:15.915
And then the Lord said, I want you to share it with, with your, your leader.

00:15:16.275 --> 00:15:19.715
And I said, okay. I said, and I told him, I said, I usually don't share my dreams,

00:15:19.815 --> 00:15:21.655
but the Lord prompted me to share this one.

00:15:22.475 --> 00:15:27.795
What was shown me that I'm dismissed or delayed, you know?

00:15:27.975 --> 00:15:32.715
And so you start to pay attention to more things and it starts really small,

00:15:32.715 --> 00:15:37.735
You know, God is such a teacher that don't ever feel that you're going to miss

00:15:37.735 --> 00:15:39.495
it because he has a rewind.

00:15:40.135 --> 00:15:43.675
He has a replay. And you go like, what was that? What was that?

00:15:43.715 --> 00:15:45.815
What was that? What was that? And he'll just replay.

00:15:46.435 --> 00:15:49.535
You know, you'll have a dream and you go like, I didn't get that dream.

00:15:49.695 --> 00:15:52.495
And you just kind of pray, Lord, what was that? He'll say, that was that.

00:15:52.635 --> 00:15:54.315
That was that. He'll just explain it to you.

00:15:54.595 --> 00:15:57.035
And because he wants to see if you're paying attention.

00:15:58.249 --> 00:16:03.829
You know, and so that's powerful, right? I know. So I wanted to say this again.

00:16:05.769 --> 00:16:11.329
Have you had moments when something felt off? Have you felt the spirit stirring?

00:16:11.809 --> 00:16:14.609
Are you sensing things that others ignored?

00:16:15.149 --> 00:16:18.529
Are you getting dreams, vision, or nudges from the spirit?

00:16:18.949 --> 00:16:25.649
You're not crazy. You are a watcher. What has God shown me that I've dismissed or delayed?

00:16:26.649 --> 00:16:31.869
You know, hello, write this down. Lord, make me faithful in the secret place.

00:16:32.209 --> 00:16:37.869
Help me to stay on the wall even if no one sees me watching.

00:16:38.329 --> 00:16:45.749
A lot of times it's always good to be part of a, this is something that I see at the church a lot.

00:16:46.389 --> 00:16:49.949
Whatever's famous or whatever's, whatever everybody's doing,

00:16:49.949 --> 00:16:51.429
people want to be part of.

00:16:51.709 --> 00:16:55.349
If it's intercessory prayer, pretty soon the intercessory prayer room is packed.

00:16:55.649 --> 00:16:58.489
And then if you're not there, they go, Connie, I don't see you at intercessory

00:16:58.489 --> 00:17:02.889
prayer. Well, you don't know what I'm doing. I'm just not at that intercessory prayer, right?

00:17:03.309 --> 00:17:07.409
You see what I'm saying? So I never want to be with the group.

00:17:09.149 --> 00:17:14.009
Forced to be with some groups, but I don't ever want to be indifferent in the groups.

00:17:15.589 --> 00:17:19.529
And so, Lord, make me faithful in the secret place.

00:17:19.789 --> 00:17:25.209
Help me to stay on the wall, even if no one sees me watching.

00:17:25.649 --> 00:17:30.189
Help me to stay when no one is watching. That's the hard part.

00:17:30.309 --> 00:17:35.189
A lot of times we want to be seen, and if no one's watching, we won't do that duty.

00:17:36.269 --> 00:17:42.469
So help us to be in that secret place when no one's watching.

00:17:42.669 --> 00:17:47.929
I find it exciting to have prayer time with the Lord, and He gives me something.

00:17:48.449 --> 00:17:54.449
And what started out as one devotional kind of lead to 200-something devotional.

00:17:54.449 --> 00:17:58.009
Know, what started as one download is now over a thousand downloads.

00:17:58.229 --> 00:18:01.229
It's just like God will reward your faithfulness.

00:18:01.909 --> 00:18:04.509
He will reward your faithfulness.

00:18:05.369 --> 00:18:11.089
So if you've sensed any of that, just know that you will start to sense those things.

00:18:11.649 --> 00:18:17.909
And if you haven't already, if you start to sense that, that's okay because you are a watcher.

00:18:18.989 --> 00:18:22.849
This is the decree for the day. It says, I am a watcher.

00:18:23.449 --> 00:18:27.609
My eyes are open. My spirit is alert.

00:18:28.009 --> 00:18:33.609
I guard with what God is birthing. I speak only what heaven reveals.

00:18:34.069 --> 00:18:38.909
I am not led by emotion. I am led by the Spirit.

00:18:39.249 --> 00:18:42.349
I'm going to say that again. I am a watcher.

00:18:42.809 --> 00:18:49.809
My eyes, I'm going to add wide open. My spirit is alert I guard what God is

00:18:49.809 --> 00:18:52.889
birthing I speak only what heaven reveals.

00:18:54.009 --> 00:18:59.209
I am led by, I'm not led by emotions. I'm led by the Spirit.

00:19:00.149 --> 00:19:03.529
Let's pray. Father, I thank you for entrusting me with seeing.

00:19:03.969 --> 00:19:08.909
Open my eyes even more. Sharpen my hearing. Make me steady.

00:19:09.489 --> 00:19:13.789
Make me bold. Keep me hidden if needed, but never distracted.

00:19:14.229 --> 00:19:18.869
Let me love the secret place. Let me honor what I see.

00:19:19.289 --> 00:19:22.229
Let me pray when others sleep.

00:19:23.009 --> 00:19:29.829
Let me stand on the wall, faithful, fearless, and fully yours. In Jesus' name, amen.

00:19:30.509 --> 00:19:36.209
I want to, so this podcast has been, it's been great for me.

00:19:36.309 --> 00:19:37.449
This has been a great series.

00:19:37.729 --> 00:19:42.829
But this is like, seemed like it's more than just a podcast episode for this last five episodes.

00:19:43.009 --> 00:19:47.709
All of it is good, don't get me wrong. But this is an invitation to stay alert,

00:19:48.149 --> 00:19:50.829
to stay postured, to stay in position.

00:19:51.649 --> 00:19:55.509
God is raising up watchers, not to be loud, but to be effective.

00:19:55.909 --> 00:19:59.349
Not to chase platforms, but to protect promises.

00:19:59.809 --> 00:20:03.429
Thank you for walking with me through Eyes Wide Open Part 2.

00:20:03.669 --> 00:20:07.569
This is just the beginning of what God wants to reveal through you.

00:20:07.929 --> 00:20:13.909
Until next time, stay alert, stay available, and keep your eyes wide open.

00:20:14.229 --> 00:20:20.349
And I want to read this, what God has shared with me, that I have set you on the wall.

00:20:21.009 --> 00:20:24.389
Instead of closing out in prayer, I'm going to close out with this.

00:20:25.274 --> 00:20:28.514
It's a word from the Lord. I have set you on the wall. Daughter,

00:20:28.634 --> 00:20:31.814
I have set you in a place, not for applause, but for alignment.

00:20:32.154 --> 00:20:37.874
I have trained your ears to hear what others ignore, your eyes to see before

00:20:37.874 --> 00:20:40.774
the surface, beyond the surface.

00:20:41.114 --> 00:20:44.114
I'm going to say that again. Daughters, I have set you in a place,

00:20:44.234 --> 00:20:46.854
not for applause, but for alignment.

00:20:47.354 --> 00:20:53.994
I have trained your ears to hear what others ignore and your eyes succeed beyond the surface.

00:20:54.354 --> 00:20:58.334
You are not too sensitive. You are spiritually aware.

00:20:58.554 --> 00:21:05.074
You feel what others dismiss because I have placed a burden on you that cannot be shaken.

00:21:05.614 --> 00:21:12.554
In this season, I'm raising up watchers. Not watchers of the world, but watchers of my word.

00:21:13.274 --> 00:21:18.154
Watchers who weep in secret. Watchers who stand when others sleep.

00:21:18.854 --> 00:21:24.894
Watchers who do not need the crowd because they have my counsel.

00:21:25.394 --> 00:21:29.674
Stay on the wall, even when it's quiet, even when it's lonely,

00:21:30.074 --> 00:21:33.614
even when they laugh, scroll past, or forget your name.

00:21:34.014 --> 00:21:40.354
Because what I whisper to you in the secret place will shift nations if you steward it well.

00:21:41.014 --> 00:21:43.854
Do not come down to explain what I've shown you.

00:21:44.294 --> 00:21:49.814
Stay postured, stay planted. For I'm giving you eyes like flint and discernment

00:21:49.814 --> 00:21:51.354
that cut through deception.

00:21:52.034 --> 00:21:58.154
You will see storms before they come. You will intercede for what others won't even recognize.

00:21:58.534 --> 00:22:02.754
And your prayers will be the hedge I use to protect and preserve.

00:22:03.134 --> 00:22:08.594
You are not hidden from me. You are hidden in me. And in this hour,

00:22:08.594 --> 00:22:14.474
I am making a clear distinction between those who perform and those who perceive.

00:22:15.034 --> 00:22:21.574
Watch, listen, intercede, because you are not just a voice, you are a gatekeeper.

00:22:22.094 --> 00:22:28.354
And I have placed you in the Spirit for such a time as this.

00:22:29.938 --> 00:22:34.978
