WATCHMEN ON THE WALL
by Bill Burns:
A constant theme has been “The Fourth Watch.”
I believe that the Spirit of the Lord will provide the revelation and anointing that will establish the fourth-watch watchmen.
The “wall” is a spiritually assigned place that the watchman positions him/her self in. It is a place of vision where one “sees” and perceives that which is revealed.
It is the Lord who assigns one’s position on the wall and enables him to see. This is His purpose in this season – to establish fourth watch (last) watchmen because it will now, in the end of the age, be as important to see, hear and know as it was at the beginning of the Church Age.
2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.
Isaiah 22:5 For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord GOD of hosts In the Valley of Vision––Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain.
The walls of the third watch are being broken down, and we are crying out for Zion to be established.
Moving from third to fourth watch.
Isaiah 21:
5 Prepare the table, Set a watchman in the tower, Eat and drink. Arise, you princes, Anoint the shield!
6 For thus has the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees."
7 And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen, A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels, And he listened earnestly with great care.
8 Then he cried, "A lion, my Lord! I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime; I have sat at my post every night.
9 And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!" Then he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground."
10 Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I have declared to you.
11 The burden against Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"
12 The watchman said, "The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; Return! Come back!"
The light of the Morning Star will establish a new watchman on the wall. Those who will “see” and reveal the end-time mysteries.
The process includes four steps.
1. Establish yourself in a position of faith, trusting the Lord to assign and anoint you to become a watchman.
2. Return! Come back (dedication, obedience and faithfulness. (Isaiah 21:12)
3. Inquire of the Lord. (Isaiah 21:12)
4. See and declare what is seen. (Isaiah 21:6) Sound the Alarm!
The Lord is going to bring a third-day resurrection power among His people to establish them as watchmen, gatekeepers and warriors of the morning.
The prophetic progression is as follows:
1. First you must be a watchman on the wall – be alert, watch, and listen because the enemy will come. Sound the alarm to the gatekeepers and warriors.
2. The gatekeepers guard the gates of Zion. They hear the alarm given by the watchmen. They close the gates to keep the enemy out, and they open the gates so the warriors can go out to battle.
Matthew 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
3. Warriors go out to battle to defeat the enemy – go into the spirit world and defeat the enemy.
4. Kings direct and lead the warriors like David led his mighty men.
1 Chronicles 12:21-22 And they helped David against the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army. For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.
Revelation 3:18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
Buy from Me – heaven’s currency is faith.
1. Gold – the divine nature of Christ
2 Peter 1:
1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge…
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
2. White Garments (righteousness)
Revelation 19:7-8 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (White Warriors)
3.
Eye Salve – so you can see!
The oil of the kings so they can have victory over Satan’s kingdom and establish the Lord’s kingdom (spiritual environment) here on earth – Thy kingdom come!
Watchmen must see!
This is the Lord’s purpose for this conference – to anoint the eyes of the fourth-watch watchmen and spiritually establish them on His wall. You are to be the watchmen of the morning (the king’s watch)!
Anoint with the King’s Oil. Victory is assured!
