Welcome

Watchmen, especially in days of old, were upon the walls of a castle or fortress and assigned to protect their fellow countrymen. The watchman had to be alert and watchful for enemy attacks.

The height of the walls enabled the castle guard to see enemy forces from a great distance. The watchman was a vital part of the defense. Without the watchman, the enemy could launch a surprise attack and possibly breach the defenses of the fortress. 

Unlike computer games of virtual reality, where death and loss are imaginary, in those days when an enemy breached the fortress walls, it could result in death, slavery or total annihilation.

The call to be a "watchman on the walls" can serve as a biblical metaphor and call for you as a believer to watch and pray for that which is important. This would include watching and praying for your own loved ones, community, nation or for whatever and however the Lord leads. 

What Jesus did on earth when He was here  on earth, He will still do today through His Church ... and even greater works..." Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father… "   — John 14:12

    

God intends for His Church to be vibrant and resemble the first century church as it was in the Book of the Acts — because it is the same God performing the acts, through His Church.

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."   — Ephesians 3:20

To qualify, you only need to allow Christ to be Lord, live righteously and pray.  "The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry."  — Psalm 34:15, 

" … men ought always to pray, and not to faint; " — Jesus  — Luke 18:1  

To get nations back on their feet, we must first get down on our knees." — Billy Graham 

"God shapes the world by prayer. The more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil." — Mother Teresa

Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapels once said, “The most important thing a born-again Christian can do is to pray.”

Prayer can not only bring the answer, but often is the answer. Prayer can change you on the inside and make you ready to face anything from the outside. Prayer can reverse the “irreversible,” shake up the “unshakeable” and move the “unmovable.” Prayer can also make you unmovable and unshakable. — Saint Larius
