The hour has come for the children of God to take their place upon the watchtower. This is not the hour for spiritual sleep. This is not the hour for compromise, complacency or religious entertainment. The spiritual war is real-and it is no game. Jesus repeatedly commanded His disciples: "Watch and pray." To watch is more than merely looking. It carries the picture of a guard keeping vigil through the night-alert, awake, discerning and ready. A night watchman cannot afford the carelessness of daylight. In the darkness, danger may be concealed until it is almost upon him. He cannot depend solely upon what his eyes can see. He must listen. He must discern. He must remain vigilant. That is the watch to which Christ has called His Church. We are living in a night of increasing deception, violence, rebellion and spiritual darkness. The enemy does not announce every attack. Darkness rarely arrives declaring its intentions. It infiltrates. It deceives. It seduces. It compromises. It numbs. It seeks to lull the people of God into spiritual sleep while the gates are being breached. Therefore, WATCH AND PRAY. The Church must recover the ancient posture of the watchman. Eyes open. Spirit awake. Heart discerning. Sword ready. Knees bent. God is raising an army that refuses to remain silent. An army that will not collapse under pressure. An army that will not retreat when persecution rises. An army that will not flinch when darkness roars. An army that will not bow before the idols of this age. An army that will not exchange truth for acceptance, holiness for popularity, or conviction for comfort. God is raising a remnant.
