The 8 Prayer Watches Explained

Biblical Prayer Strategy for Modern Watchmen on the Walls Explained This is about prayer watches Historically, watchmen on walls were individuals charged with protecting their communities from danger. In the Bible, Isaiah 62:6-7 refers to watchmen as people who “shall never rest until her (Jerusalem’s) righteousness goes forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.” This suggests that watchmen have a spiritual role in guarding cities against destruction and evil forces. They would sound warnings when an enemy approached and act as eyes for citizens of their city, alerting them to potential dangers. Watchmen also served an important role by keeping track of who was coming into or leaving the city. By monitoring these activities, they could protect the citizens from false prophets or spies disguised as travelers. In Ezekiel, God warns against those who look out for their own safety instead of sounding an alarm when danger approaches. It shows that it is the responsibility of watchmen to sound the alarm. Ezekiel 33:6-7“But...

The Watches of the Night

What are the Watches of the Night? Introduction The Jews, like the Greeks and Romans, divided the night into military watches instead of hours, each watch representing the period for which sentinels or pickets remained on duty. The proper Jewish reckoning recognized only three such watches, entitled the first or "beginning of the watches" (Lamentations 2:19), the middle watch (Judges 7:19) and the morning watch. (Exodus 14:24; 1 Samuel 11:11) These would last respectively from sunset to 10 P.M.; from 10 P.M. to 2 A.M.; and from 2 A.M. to sunrise. After the establishment of the Roman supremacy, the number of watches was increased to four, which were described either according to their numerical order, as in the case of the "fourth watch" (Matthew 14:25) or by the terms "even," "midnight," "cock-crowing," and "morning." (Mark 13:35) These terminated respectively at 9 P.M., midnight, 3 A.M. and 6 A.M. In the Old Testament times the night was divided into three parts of four hours each,...

Battle With the Bible

Battle Verses of The Bible Over here, I will give you 100 of the best battle verses from the Bible. I simply cannot stress enough the power that is on these particular verses. Here’s a quick list of all the verses: For those of you who have read the entire Old Testament, one of the things that really stands out is how God the Father would not hesitate go into battle for His chosen people, the Jews, when they were walking in good stead with Him. God the Father was absolutely ferocious in His defense of the Jewish people when the situation would warrant Him coming to their aid. The Bible tells us that God, the Father, does not change. And if God is still the same today as He was in the past, then this means that He will also come to the aid of all New Testament Christians who are walking in good stead with Him. The best analogy I can give you on this...

The Battle Prayer to Recover

Recovering What the Enemy Has Stolen In this article, I want to focus on one specific area that Satan and his demons like to operate in. The Bible tells us that Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. I want to focus on how Satan and his demons come “to steal” from us, with the obvious intentions that they will then try and kill what they have just stolen from us. Sometimes, before they can actually kill something or someone, they first have to steal it from us. Here is the specific verse from our Bible that will show us that Satan and his demons will try and do this whenever they can: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) This is where you really get into some of the heavier types of spiritual warfare cases. Here are some specific examples of how the devil is continuing to operate in this horrific realm in this day and age: Your daughter...
