11/04/13 GIFTS WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED
HEARD:
We’re surrounding him with wrapping
paper. His motto, life is a package just waiting to be
discovered. He’s gifted sweet one. I have gifted him
with many gifts. He just doesn’t know it yet.
Pursuit. A holy high calling.
Philippians 3:12-13 Not as though I had already
attained, either were already perfect: but I follow
after, if indeed I may apprehend that for which also I
am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not
myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before,

HEARD:
These are foundations. A alignment one
upon the other. Yes wrapping paper. Be set. I have a
purpose for this.
HEARD:
Need it. What you have got to tell me.
Set the watchman upon the walls. Community, where they
live. As they are faithful. Grace.
Isaiah 21:6 For thus has the Lord said unto me, Go,
set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.
Psalms 130:6 My soul waits for the Lord more than
they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they
that watch for the morning.
WATCHMAN
a primitive root; properly, to hedge about (as with
thorns), i.e. guard; generally, to protect, attend to,
etc.:—beward, be circumspect, take heed (to self),
keep(-er, self), mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve,
regard, reserve, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait
(for), watch(-man).
WATCHMAN, n. watch and man. A sentinel; a guard.
American Tract Society Dictionary
WATCHMEN
Are of as early a date as cities, robbers, and wars,
Ex 14:24;
Jg 7:19. Jerusalem and other cities had
regular guards night and day,
Song 3:1-3;
5:7, to whose hourly cries Isaiah refers in
illustration of the vigilance required by God in his
ministers,
Isa 21:8,11-12;
62:6. At this day the watchmen of Jerusalem
"keep not silence," nor do they "hold their peace day
nor night;" especially at night and when danger is
apprehended, they are required to call to each other
every few minutes, and the cry passes from one to
another entirely around the city walls. Those of Sidon
also do the same. Watchmen always had a station at the
gate of a city and in the adjacent tower,
2Sa 18:24-27;
2Ki 9:27; also on hill-tops overlooking a
large circuit of terraced vineyards, whence they could
"see eye to eye," and "lift up the voice" of warning or
of cheer,
Isa 52:7-8; and their responsible office,
requiring so much vigilance and fidelity, illustrates
that of prophets and ministers,
Jer 6:17;
Eze 33:1-9;
Heb 13:17.
International Standard
Bible Encyclopedia
WATCHMAN
woch'-man (tsopheh, shomer, metsappeh, notser): Used to
designate a sentinel on the city walls (2Sa
18:25;
2Ki 9:18;
Ps 127:1;
Isa 62:6) or on the hilltops (Jer
31:6).
Song 3:3;
5:7 introduces another class, "the watchmen
that go about the city," and thus, it would seem, points
to some system of municipal police. The distinction in
meaning between the various words is clear, tsopheh
having the idea of "outlooker" and notser that of
"careful watcher" (being applied even to besiegers from
outside:
Jer 4:16, "watchers"), while shomer also
embraces the idea of "defending" or "guarding." In
Isa 21:6 metsappeh is to be taken generally
in the sense of "watch." In Sirach 37:14 skopos, means
simply "looker."
WORD TO PONDER: LIFE IS LIKE A PACKAGE WAITING TO BE
OPENED 11/04/13
Dear ones, I AM opening the door for new gifts, new
callings, new mantles, new assignments. Your sense of
hope, anticipation and excitement shall spring forth as
you wait upon Me to be endued with these new gifts. As
you see these gifts begin to emerge, I promise to
confirm your way and establish you in them.
Many are already anointed but have never unwrapped your
presents. You are like a big package, and I will unwrap
what I have deposited within you layer upon layer. As
these rich deposits of My anointing are made manifest to
you – and the more you see Me within you, you shall
explode with the merriment of having My life flow
through you. I shall place you like watchmen on the
walls in your community and you shall be equipped to
share what I have given you to share.
Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask
him?
