The Stand Before The Dawn.

 

The Stand Before The Dawn.

I found something out today. It turns out, I’m doing some things right.

Apparently, if a Christian wakes between 3 and 5 am, they’re called the “Watchmen,” the one’s who stand last, just before the dawn.

That’s me. For those of you who know me well, you’ll know I’ve been waking at 4 most mornings, for years and years.

I’m told, between these hours we should try to remember our dreams.

That’s me too. If I don’t jot my dream down as soon as I wake, the devil snatches it away.

So, your dream is your instructions for the day from God. As you would know; dreams are symbolic and so we need to perceive, or interpret what God is saying within the context of our dream. We need to understand the biblical meaning behind numbers, colours and symbols.

And then, we need to pray according to the dream. (I’ve had dreams where family members get hurt and I’ve prayed angels around the situations, or a dissolving of what’s coming against my family). I didn’t know this was a ‘thing’ given to the Watchmen of the hour. That’s just something I do and a new revelation to me.

If we don’t have a dream, or can’t remember our dream, we’re to meditate on God’s word. I have a daily to-do list and this is one of the things on my daily list. I recite verses in the bible, usually for an hour or half an hour in the morning, depending on my time availability.

I ponder on the dream. I write them down, if I have one. I meditation on God’s word if I don’t and all of this causes the information God has for me to enter my spirit man. My spirit retrieves that information. At this time, the soul has to bow, for the lesser always bows to the greater. This makes room for the spirit to retrieve information, which may have come that night, or may have come weeks or months earlier.

As the information is retrieved, we’re to sense, feel and use intuition, perception and an inward knowing. If we do this often enough, we’ll begin to know what’s happening to loved ones and those closest to us.

With that done, we decree and declare – another thing on my morning to-do list, which I run through every morning before getting up. The bible tells us to make declarations without ceasing and I’ll do this throughout the day as well, if I have free mental time.

Prayer is two-way communication. It’s you and God talking together. Declarations are you commanding your day; you, prophetically making declarations about the direction of your life and the life of your loved ones. Job 22:28 states; thou shall also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee...

It’s in these times, and in these hours, you’ll get divine revelation, where new and creative ideas will flow.

The hours between 3 and 5 are the hours of the “Chosen.” I hesitate to call myself one of the ‘chosen,’ but that’s what the minister in the clip said.

I’d have to be the accidental watchman, the accidental chosen, as it’s all happened around me for years and I never knew this to be the case. I always thought I was getting up this early to have uninterrupted bible study. Although I get a lot out of my early morning time, I didn’t realise it was God’s prompting for my daily walk.

At this point in time, I’d almost have to add, I’m also the ‘accidental grey nomad.’ I never expected to have a caravan and be travelling around the countryside – even if it was a long-held dream. A caravan wasn’t something I ever expected to own. I really don’t know how I expected the traveling to unfold, in my dream of trading, writing and traveling. It just happened without me. Lol.

On all counts – prayer watchman, chosen and grey nomad – it had to be God, because it certainly wasn’t me.

The next day, I was looking for something else, when I came across Revelation 17:14 ….and those who are with Him are called the chosen and faithful. Plus, my bible reading today; Ephesians 1:4 He chose us. And even the following morning again, my bible study was on the word chosen. Confirmation, I believe, in the words written above.
