Welcome to the Watchmen Arise Blog!

Scripture:   The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV One of the many wondrous things God does for me is waking me up with a song of worship in my heart. This morning, the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness" resonated deeply within me. I found myself singing it all the way to work, reflecting on the faithfulness of God. Merriam-Webster defines faithfulness as being steadfast in affection or allegiance (loyalty) or providing strong assurance (binding).  Representing all the qualities and attributes of our relationship with the Father in Heaven.  As I sang the hymn, I remembered all the times God has been faithful, even when I turned away from Him. I recall my high school graduation and the transition to college. During that time, I distanced myself from the church—not because of people, but due to its strictness. In my mind, I sought freedom. The Lifetime...

Scripture:    In whom we have boldness and access  with confidence through faith in Him. Ephesians 3:12 NKJV   Greetings Bloggers  This time I decided to write to you instead of vlogging.  I hope to capture the very essence that I experienced during my travels in August celebrating my birthday.  I pray my experience will empower you as well to "Step Out in Faith."  Life is a journey filled with uncertainties and unexpected turns. At times, we find ourselves standing at the edge of a new chapter, grappling with the choice to step out in faith or remain in the comfort of the known. Stepping out in faith is not about having all the answers but about trusting in a higher purpose and embracing the journey with courage and hope.  I came to the realization when I decided to Zipline at Ruby Falls.  This was my second time ziplining, but it was a little different. The zipline course was a little higher and longer than before.  The perso...

  Scripture: James 1:2 Welcome to the Watchmen Blog! It is my prayer that this post will inspire all but especially intercessors.  Recently, I was on a prayer call with my core team.  That day was challenging for all of us. The enemy was attacking each of us differently from every angle.  We know the enemy’s agenda is to distract us and to get us off the wall.  My crisis on that day was financial.  One of the areas I have been working on is building up my savings account.  So when I discovered a nail in my tire in the most peculiar place; I was livid.  Replacing a tire or tires was not my intention later in the year.  In addition to what I was experiencing; another core team members decided not to join the call as well.  She was having a challenge in her life. Despite my trial, I encouraged her to join the call, so she could be in the midst of the prayer.  Be immersed in God’s presence.  As we began to intercede that night, I h...

In the hustle and bustle of life, where instant gratification is often celebrated, the art of patiently waiting on God can feel like a lost virtue especially as it pertains to receiving answers to our prayers.  As intercessors, it is our assignment to labor in prayer for individuals, communities and/or nations.  In some instances, we desire the answers immediately to our prayers.  How many times have you asked God for something specific in prayer but no response? The psalmist echoes this sentiment in Psalm 37:7a, be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.  In a world where impatience often leads to anxiety and restlessness, the call to stillness before God is revolutionary. It is an invitation to surrender our need for control and our timelines to His perfect plan. As you wait, I encourage you to refrain from anger, doubt, fear, and forsake wrath, trusting that God will respond to your prayers in due season. So, embrace the discipline of waiting on the Lord...

In Fall 2008, while in discipleship class prayer came alive for me. I know this statement may be shocking to some but up until that day my prayer life was minimal. I knew the Lord’s prayer, I knew how to pray over my food, but never would I imagine that I would experience the magnitude of the power of prayer.  That one day changed my life forever, I recognized the gift of intercession within me. Prayer at its core is more than just words whispered into the atmosphere. It is a deep communion with the Almighty, a sacred dialogue between the finite and infinite. It is a journey into our deepest longings, joys, fears and gratitude flow into the arms of the Divine. Prayer is a steadfast anchor, connecting us to our Lord. James 5:16b reminds us of the profound truth: “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This passage of scripture speaks of intensity, of earnestness, of a heart ablaze with passion. When we pray with fervor, we are not just going through ...
