The Ministry of Watchmen and The Times of Visitations
“For thus has The LORD said to me, “Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.”” Isaiah 21:6.
This verse of Scripture presents such an apt definition of the Ministry of Watchmen set by The LORD, and what they are to bring to The Nations.
“Your Watchmen shall lift up their voices, with their voices they shall sing together, for they shall see eye to eye, when The LORD brings back Zion.” Isaiah 52:8.
Another very profound illustration of the Ministry of The Watchmen.
The Watchmen are a people set up in their towers to watch and to see what is coming into the territories of their jurisdiction, and birth them into the realm of time.
“I will stand my watch, And set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected.” Habakkuk 2:1.
Every thing determined by The Father to be birthed in the earth is factored into the time cycles of the earth.
In other words, for every thing that has been decided to be implemented in the earth, The Kingdom determines a set-time for the delivery and receipt of that word by watchmen — whose mandate is to stand on their appointed watch — receive the proceeding Word from The LORD and declare it into their territories.
The Book of Psalms shows a profound prayer and cry from the heart to discern times and seasons.
“So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12.
To number our days, is to gain insight into Heavens calendar for the earth.
To discern the appointed times when Heaven would visit the earth to deliver to it The Word for that season.
The Scripture show us something very significant in the experience Jacob had when he wrestled.
It shows us Angelic messengers from The LORD have a set time to enter and exit the earth.
“Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” Genesis 32:24-26.
The Angel of The LORD was particular about the time of his departure — he had to leave at the breaking of the day.
Consider this for a moment: This was the Divine Time of Visitation.
Imagine for a moment, Jacob didn’t discern his “watch”, his appointed Time of Visitation; and stayed asleep until the break of day when The Angel was scheduled to depart the earth.
The LORD Jesus Christ chided the Israelites, because they did not discern the time of their visitations,
“Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”” Luke 19:40-44.
Oh my! Because they did not discern the times of their visitation, they missed what was sent to them from Heaven; and The Word not received, could not be birthed, and the promise of salvation suffered a great delay.
There are those called to The Ministry of The Watchmen over individuals, peoples, churches, regions, spheres and nations
Their call is to discern and stand on their watch.
This watch could be an appointed time, date and/or place for consecrated prayer.
Discerning and being stationed at your prayer-watch [your appointed times for consecrated prayer], your prayer-tower [your appointed dates for consecrated prayer], or your prayer-closet [your appointed placed for consecrated prayer] positions you to receive the timed visitations of The LORD Jesus Christ and His Angels from Heaven.
At your prayer-watch, prayer-towers and prayer-closets, you receive The Word of The LORD for the season and birth it into the spheres of time through the proclamations of the edicts of The LORD Jesus Christ.
“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of The LORD, do not keep silent.” Isaiah 62:6.
Your Prayer Watches are the times of important visitations for the delivery of revelation from The LORD.
As a sequel to The Word of The LORD published regarding The Year 2022: “The Year of Disruptions For New Encounters With The LORD Jesus Christ”, this is now being released that you may understand how to be positioned for the seasons of visitations now determined upon The People of The LORD Jesus Christ this season.
This is a time for the understanding of the mystery of the times you have been seeing, as many report seeing reoccurring numbers.
Know this, the recurring times you have been seeing is a prayer watch to you — a call from The LORD to be positioned in prayer at that set time being revealed to you.
To some, significant dates have been revealed — those dates are a prayer tower to you, set aside those dates, for they will be significant times of visitations.
To others, The LORD may reveal important places for personal retreats, fellowship and communion — these are the signs of the calling of The LORD to be in your appointed prayer closets — because a visitation is coming.
Even more; beyond the regular routine of prayer; reach out to The LORD in prayer to reveal to you; significant times of visitations from The LORD predetermined to come; and yield yourself to The LORD Jesus Christ to keep you positioned at your prayer-watches, prayer-towers and prayer-closets; to receive what the Messengers of The LORD Jesus Christ will be delivering to you.
As Jacob discerned his moment; he had seen The Angels of The LORD earlier in the day as Genesis 32:1 revealed.
Then he made haste to send his wives, servant and sons over the brook as in Genesis 32:22-23.
Then he waited patiently all by himself; paying attention to what the visitations would bring; and determined in his heart; that this Angel would not leave at his departure time until he had received what had been sent to him.
This is the heart of watchmen.
Jacob discerned the prayer-watch, the prayer-tower and the prayer-closet appointed for that visitation to take place.
The decision to release the blessing of a Prince upon Jacob was already decided in Heaven.
The decision to send The LORD Jesus Christ to save the nation Israel was already decided.
The Messengers of The Promise were determined to come into the earth and depart at an appointed time.
Yet the manifestation of The Promise depended on the watching heart of those who were to receive the promise.
Dwell deeply on this that you may understand even more what The LORD had been speaking to your heart.
It is time to say as Habakkuk said;
“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.” Habakkuk 2:1.

It is me noting here how satan ‘tried’ to stop me from reading this very post!
Surely hindered but not defeated!
Thank you sir for the depth you went into here we so much need to see.Very needful information is to be gleaned here.
On Dec 30 the Lord had me writing the vision for the new year on the Gregorian calendar. Also Rosh Hashanah is a time I seek to listen closely.
Father’s instructions do not need to be missed. I want to be found on my post, listening warning, and sometimes just being still to what is to be released and when.
Again thank you. God bless you.
Always an honor Dear Joyce.
Sir, I pray for Double Portion of Anointing on you this year & beyond. I strongly believe this year is MY /OUR YEAR of RELEASE of All OVERDUE BLESSINGS. Years ago, i dreamed of the Cloud been brought so low above my Head with countless STAR(s) with electric bulb attached to each of the STAR. I was then insructed by a MAN to COUNT THE STARS which when i lifted my INDEX FINGER to do so but noticed the STARS with electric bulb had MULTIPLIED & i couldnt Count them. I didnt understand the dream but only thought of God’ covenant to my Father Abraham in GENESIS 22. But my question then was why ” the electric bulb attached to each star? After a while, the Lord gave me another dream of 22 put in a circle (22) which I had shared previously on HKP asking for interpretation. Woman of God Kimberly Fuller’s post gave indepth explanation on year 2022 & its promises. Sir, your post has explained & ADDED other VITAL TIPS. Thank you Sir! My Father, My Father, give me a Watching Heart not to miss your time of visitation set for me. I ask for my Prayer Watch, Tower & Closet(s) in Jesus name. Do same for all Brethren on HKP & in the world in Jesus name. AMEN!
Yes, thank you. In 2020 all I saw everywhere was 11:11.(chaos) Then I drew closer to the Lord and it changed over to 44, (chosen) which I see everywhere in a dozen different places. All of a sudden this year it is 22, (sons of light, sonship) starting of course, with the year. I have high hopes for the year!
