Watch and Pray

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Last night as we walked the capital and prayed over our city I was calling out each county, taking dominion over the satanic structure that is in each place...
I was struck by a quote over the north doors of the building by one of architects:
“The Salvation of the State is the Watchfulness in the Citizen”.
Immediately:
37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
Then the command:
38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
We have heard lesson after lesson - message after message - on prayer...
To me point that many feel like they’ve heard it all!
But that is not what jumped out to me…
WATCH!
To stay away, alive and fully ready!
On 6 June 1944, British, US and Canadian forces invaded the coast of Normandy in northern France.
The landings were the first stage of Operation Overlord - the invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe - and aimed to bring an end to World War Two.
By night-time, around 156,000 Allied troops had arrived in Normandy, despite challenging weather and fierce German defences.
At the end of D-Day, the Allies had established a foothold in France and within 11 months Nazi Germany was defeated.
On the morning of June 6th, 1944 - what we call D-day ADOLF HITLER WAS ASLEEP!
His generals feared to send reinforcements while he slept.
His generals feared to wake him while he slept.
After 5 years of way in which Germany would decimate much of Europe, the beginning of the end would begin with a sleeping Adolf Hitler!
Never let it be said that in the Last days of the church, the The Life Church was asleep!
We must watch and pray!
Don’t just pray...
Watch!
What are you seeing in the spirit?
We roll out eyes at some of the things this generation is doing today.
The warning labels not to eat battery acid...
The laziness.. .
The overeducated ignorance...
The being ruled my the emotions rather than common sense…
But spiritually I fear we have become this generation!
Lulled to sleep by an enemy who is fearful of what we will do when awaken!

Personal lives
Families

What do you see around you?
What does your watchful eyes tell you?
While you are perched on the wall, overlooking your city
What perversion do you see?
What violence do you see?
What unrighteousness do you see?
Your watchfulness should guide your prayer!
Does senseless death catch at your heart?
Not because it’s sad… BUT that person is now entering into eternity with no hope of salvation!
How much have you prayed about it?
I can’t drive by a church without binding false doctrine and tradition and loosing a spirit of Truth and Revelation.
I can’t drive past a Dr. John’s with the picture of the woman without binding lust and releasing purity and the Agape love of God into our city.
Curse those sings and ask God to bring them all down in a single night!
I can’t drive past cigarette/vape shop without binding addiction and releasing hope.
Bind violence and release the Peace of the Holy Ghost
Bind the spirit of the anti-Christ and release the spirit of God to fulfil His purpose
3. We have dominion!
Time to walk in it!
Allow what you are seeing around you to direct your prayer!
Difference between say a pray and going into prayer!
Binding violence - no murder until November of that year.
