In this season I am releasing a greater anointing upon the watchmen. I am filling the ramparts with those who will look to see. As you sense the upward call, be ready to climb to the higher places. But also look to your sides, for this is not a solitary call. I do not want My watchmen in isolation but I want them firmly rooted in like minded communities.
As I sharpen, hone, and increase you, I am shaping you for community. In watching together, the vision will become more accurate with greater clarity. As you watch developments in the spirit realm together your perception and understanding of timings will be refined. Together you will learn to communicate what you see in a way that guides the church practically, which increases understanding and in a way that will lead others into bold faith, raw passion, and a yearning for holiness.
Application:
With the Holy Spirit, reflect on how you have been led in the call of the watchman. Ask Him to show you what aspect of this calling He wants to develop further in you and how you are to partner with Him in this. Ask Him to reveal who you are to develop alongside.
As Living Stones
4 Come to Him [the risen Lord] as to a living Stone which men rejected and threw away, but which is choice and precious in the sight of God.
5 You [believers], like living stones, are [a]being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:4-5 (AMP)

God Answers the Prophet
I will stand at my guard post And station myself on the tower; And I will keep watch to see what He will say to me, And what answer I will give [as His spokesman] when I am reproved.
My people are living in a place of spiritual division within themselves; their attention constantly being split between the spirit and the flesh. They sing that I am worthy of it all, yet they withhold themselves from full union with Me in the spirit.
They long for My presence and dwell with My Spirit, but then return to their earthly thinking when physical and fleshly challenges arise. It is not enough to hold onto Me with your right hand, yet be entertaining the world with your left.
Jesus challenged His disciples about this – He came with hard teaching to expose the offense within them that caused them to withhold from submitting to the fullness of who He is in Me. The visceral language of eating His flesh and drinking His blood, to literally take Himself inside of yourselves – to join in a spiritual union that secures you to Him. Jesus challenges the religious zeitgeist of the times; My people must relinquish their comfort for completeness.
So I am asking of you now to let go of any offence, control or longing for comfort that is holding you back from full and complete union with Me in spirit. Take the Bread that I offer, literally inside of yourself; make room for Me, join yourself to Me – and understand the freedom and life that comes from this place of union, at all costs.
Activation:
Read the passage in John 6:53-63. Allow Jesus’ words to minister to you, and take note of any offense or discomfort you may feel – ask Holy Spirit to meet you in that place and reveal to you the root cause of these emotions. Spend time dealing with these – repent where you feel led, and submit any areas of your life that are not yet joined fully with Jesus.
Create some space in your day to take communion. Picture the flesh and blood of Jesus joining with your insides as you take it – bonding Himself to you in spirit. Ask Jesus to bring you to a place of security and freedom in your union with Him.
53 And Jesus said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood [unless you believe in Me as Savior and believe in the saving power of My blood which will be shed for you], you do not have life in yourselves.
54 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] has eternal life [that is, now possesses it], and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.
55 For My flesh is true [spiritual] food, and My blood is true [spiritual] drink.
56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] remains in Me, and I [in the same way remain] in him.
57 Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, even so the one who feeds on Me [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will also live because of Me.
58 This is the Bread which came down out of heaven. It is not like [the manna that] our fathers ate and they [eventually] died; the one who eats this Bread [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will live forever.”
Words to the Disciples
59 He said these things in a synagogue while He was teaching in Capernaum.
60 When many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a difficult and harsh and offensive statement. Who can [be expected to] listen to it?”
61 But Jesus, aware that His disciples were complaining about it, asked them, “Does this cause you to stumble and take offense?
62 What then [will you think] if you see the Son of Man ascending to [the realm] where He was before?
63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account].The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life].
My child, I know that you are feeling as if you have suddenly been put inside a beehive. After great battles that you brilliantly overcame by worshipping Me and keeping your feet on the Rock, now the presence of small irritating insects seems like a farce. Yet the bees surround you, they distract you, their buzzing sound annoys you and you have to be alert should they be ready to use their sting against you. “What’s going on?” you ask.
Don’t you worry My beloved; keep trusting Me! In the past I taught you how to vanquish the enemy by using big swords, now is the time to focus on different tactics such as the dagger. Small movements, but the same authority coming from My Spirit. I am expanding your discernment, sharpening your sight, and honing your ability to shift atmospheres in order to be equipped and teach those I will send you.
And since I am the God who always turns situations around for your good, those same bees that tried to hurt you will be the ones dispensing honey for your nourishment.
Activation:
Stay in God’s presence and ask Holy Spirit to highlight where you have “bees” in your life right now. Then see yourself with Jesus as He gives you the strategy on how and when to use your dagger to remove them. Finally, enquire of the Lord where the honey is coming from and how you should feed yourself as He takes you up a notch.
And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.
Romans 8:28 (AMP)
So I have come down to rescue them from the hand (power) of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a land [that is] good and spacious, to a land [a]flowing with milk and honey [a land of plenty]—to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus 3:8 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Exodus 3:8 This phrase referred to the abundant fertility of the land of Canaan. Milk (typically that of goats and sheep) was associated with abundance; “honey” referred mainly to syrups made from dates or grapes and was the epitome of sweetness. Bees’ honey was very rare and was considered the choicest of foods.
As you take hold of the vision I have placed before you, do not be distracted by earthly preparations for I do not prepare you as the world would. I am not filling your bag but emptying it. Why? Because your dependency is on nothing but Me.
I am your provider; do not wait for earthly finances to stack up. Rather, be ready to step out with only what you have in the moment, in full expectation that I will meet your needs.
Do not wait until you’ve achieved a worldly position. It is I that opens doors for you; it is I who releases the favour you need. I have given you more authority than this world has to offer and I will make the way for you.
Do not wait to be impressive in the eyes of man or desire to be clothed in status, for I have already seated you in the heavenly places; what higher standing could you have?
The powers of darkness fear what I have called you to and they seek to slow you down by gathering the wrong things. The world will weigh you down but I will lighten your load, highlight your path and open the way before you.
Activation:
Sit with Holy Spirit and ask Him how you have been preparing. What is His work and what is a distraction sent to weigh you down. Where are you stockpiling the things of this earth and what does He want you to do instead?
14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us spreads and makes evident everywhere the sweet fragrance of the knowledge of Him.
15 For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which ascends] to God, [discernible both] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
2 Corinthians 2:14-15 (AMP)
9 Do not take gold, or silver, or [even] copper money in your money belt,
10 or a provision bag for your journey, or even two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker deserves his support.
My child, I see you. I see your inner struggle of waiting for Me to move and to answer your prayers. But I am not going to do it like you think. Keep your gaze fixed on Me, because I am using this time to transform you.
I do not move like the world does. My timings are not the same as the world. I am using this time to fine-tune and train you. So, step back and take a deep breath. My desire is to release patience like you’ve never experienced before so you may navigate this season with strength and understanding.
Do not get caught up in hurry for I am using this time to realign and readjust you into My timing. Do you understand that I am never anxious or worried? Trust Me when I say that I am never late!
Activation:
Make a list of things you are waiting for and then lay it before the Lord in surrender to Him. Declare: “Not my will, but Your will be done.” As you do this, allow His peace to wash over you.
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure.
Romans 8:25 (AMP)
Wait for and confidently expect the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the LORD.
It’s wedding season, and God is calling you His bride; confident, radiant, and deeply desired. He isn’t ashamed of you. In fact, He takes delight in the way you’ve responded to His invitation to come close. Even the messy, hidden parts of your life – the thoughts, habits, and shame no one else sees – He has gently cleansed.
Just like Esther went through a process of preparation before standing before the king, you’ve been walking through your own season of becoming. You’ve been purified. You’ve been transformed. But maybe you still look in the mirror and see someone unworthy.
The Lord says, “That’s not how I see you. When you speak badly about yourself, I hear it as if you’re criticizing someone I deeply love. I want to show you a different mirror, one that reflects Jesus. This doesn’t erase who you are; it reveals the real you that I made new.
You’re not a clone. You’re not a disappointment. You’re a masterpiece with a new spirit… My Spirit. Put on confidence like a wedding dress. Walk like someone who is fully loved, fully known, and fully accepted. I am waiting for you to believe what I already see.
Application:
Stand in front of a mirror and say out loud, “I am radiant because God cleansed me. I am loved because God demonstrated his love for me. I am new because God put His Spirit in me.” Do this as many times as needed until you can feel yourself accepting this truth.
Moving forward, when the voices of shame rise up, ask God to help you see yourself the way He does. Speak words of life over yourself, especially when your thoughts want to tear you down. Let those truths reshape how you live, walk, and speak.
26 so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God],
27 so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless.
Ephesians 5:26-27 (AMP)
And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.
Don’t believe the enemy whispering that nothing has changed after all. I am calling you individually and as a community to stand and conquer new ground for the enhancement of My Kingdom. Rise up, My people and steward whatever lands I will call you to.
Come to Me and ask to understand what the enemy is doing. For he is already defeated and My strategies will allow you to preempt any snare. So ask Me for discernment, wisdom and an Issachar anointing to gain territory in My Kairos moment. This is not spiritual warfare as it was in previous seasons; you need cutting-edge skills and refined weapons, which I will provide. That is why constant interaction and cooperation with Me is needed now more than ever.
Moreover, as you come and celebrate the victory after each battle, make sure you find time to rest in Me. Come into My presence to be refreshed and empowered. Then go again, for the harvest is plentiful.
Activation:
Find time to pray in tongues and stay in God’s presence, either individually or as a group. Ask Him what’s on His mind and how you can serve Him for the advancement of the Kingdom. Receive the details of the blueprint and write them down. Then continue to pray for timing and thank the Lord for His victory. Remember that worship can be very powerful spiritual warfare.
The Seventy Sent Out
1 Now after this the Lord appointed [a]seventy others, and sent them out ahead of Him, two by two, into every city and place where He was about to go.
2 He was saying to them, “The harvest is abundant [for there are many who need to hear the good news about salvation], but the workers [those available to proclaim the message of salvation] are few. Therefore, [prayerfully] ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.
3 Go your way; listen carefully: I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
Luke 10:1-3 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Luke 10:1 One ancient ms reads seventy-two.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil].
Right now, I am asking My people to push beyond the lines which surround them. When I look at many of My beloved ones, I see them carefully relying upon four or five of the same crayons, carefully keeping within the lines on the page before them. But at this time, I am breaking off limitation and containment as I encourage My people to colour outside the lines!
It is a day to recognize that many of the things which hold you in place and stop you from pushing further are not of Me. It is not My intention to keep My people boxed up and tucked away. But there are false limitations and containment that many of My beloved ones are living under. It is My passion to see these lines of containment pulled away and people pulled afresh into a space of possibility and freedom.
Push beyond the lines that surround you; why settle for 4 crayons when I have a whole box for you to play and create with! Come and play with Me, the one who loves and delights in you. Let Me reawaken your wonder and curiosity as we push beyond what has been and into something new.
Activation:
Ask Holy Spirit to show you where there are lines or boxes of limitation active in your life. Perhaps it’s a label that has been placed on you, how you define your purpose, or a lie that was planted long ago. With the revelation that Holy Spirit reveals to you, spend some time in prayer to break any partnership you have made with these limiting beliefs (both intentionally and unintentionally). Then, envision yourself colouring. Ask Holy Spirit what new colour there is for you to play with. Why that colour? Spend some time in prayer and thanksgiving for God’s care and love for you.
Scene in Heaven
2 At once I was in [special communication with] the Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with One seated on the throne.
3 And He who sat there appeared like [the crystalline sparkle of] [a]a jasper stone and [the fiery redness of] a sardius stone, and encircling the throne there was a rainbow that looked like [the color of an] emerald.
Revelation 4:2-3 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Revelation 4:3 In antiquity this name was given to various kinds and colors of precious stones, while the sardius was a reddish stone. The gems are indicative of royalty.
Out of my distress I called on the LORD; The LORD answered me and set me free.
My people, many of you are rightly filled with expectation to see long awaited answers to prayer and promises fulfilled. Dreams and visions which have been held in the hearts of My sons and daughters for many years are about to be realised in these days.
There is a divine grace to transition as you discover and embrace the alignments and assignments that I have for you. In all of this, I am aware that the days ahead, for some of you, may still be uncertain and uncomfortable as you adapt and stretch to take hold of the new.
Just as a plane takes off for a predetermined destination, often it must first navigate turbulent bumps and poor visibility that come with low lying clouds. In those moments, the pilot is never deterred but understands that as he continues to ascend, the temporary but necessary discomfort will pass, and that visibility will return.
Do not allow the unsettling of transition to cause you to doubt or look back, even for a moment. Take captive every thought which would cause you to second guess or feed fear and anxiety and replace them with Truth. I say to you, there is increased capacity and fresh strength for the new.
Trust wholeheartedly in Me. I know where I am taking you and My plans will unfold.
Determine in your heart to press on in faith and take hold of all that I have for you giving thanks and praise for what is to come.
Activation:
Spend time in the Lord’s presence and remind yourself what you’re believing for in this next season. What answers to prayer or dreams/ prophecy are you expecting to see fulfilled? If you’re stepping into “the new” (workplace, relationships, church, ministry or geographical location) and are experiencing doubts and fear, spend time bringing these to the Lord in prayer and receive His peace. Write out 4 or 5 declarations based on your promises and speak them out daily to help build faith and strength.
11 For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12 Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you.
13 Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 (AMP)
13 [a]Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
