All Along The Watchtower

by Debra Burgess  
5/02/2011 / Prophecy

"All along the watchtower" is what I heard during prayer with another, just a single sentence alone. As the prayers continued, I saw a type of fortress with guards upon the walls at stationary posts, and I could see their backs as they looked outward into the distance. In this picture none of the guards were turning about, they were only looking in the one fixed direction from their post. They were sincere in their diligence but something wasn't right.

What I heard in my spirit is we are to be ever watchful but not singularly focused on one area of prayer unless assigned. We are to be led by the Spirit and God will turn our eyes in the right direction. We are free to move about the watchtower so we can "see" from any direction.

I asked the Lord about this word and specifically scriptures

Pro 4:1-21 Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding; For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law. When I was my father's son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, He also taught me, and said to me: "Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you." Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble. Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life. Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil. Avoid it, do not travel on it; Turn away from it and pass on. For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble. My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;

I again share this with you to discern and test the word.

I love to encourage the heart of people to be who they are meant to be in Christ, individually made and uniquely designed.
