WATCHERS DESTINY & SERVANT LEADERS
There has been a shifting and a change that has tangibly taken place in the
Spiritual Realm and in the Physical Realm as well since Rosh Ha Shannah 2009.
Last week, I heard:
Psalm 91, Hidden in the Secret Place!
Pray it again! Important!
Things have changed! There is a greater need for an increase of wisdom and
sensitivity to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit realm is real. Though the Holy Realm is usually hidden from our
sight and experience, it exists just as the Word of God says. The creatures and
angels described there are real!
In 1996-99, I personally saw the Eyes of the Lord watching me many times while I was
in my quiet time before Him.
In the past few months, I have had the sense to look and see if I could see them His eyes again.
I perceived that the Lord's Eyes were near. We were entering into another season
when He was watching and weighing the hearts of men.
EYES OF THE LORD!
Those who abide in the Secret Place with the Most High find that I Peter 3: 12 is promised to them.
"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers!" Amen and
Amen!
Hebrews 4: 13, tells us ,
"And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the
eyes of Him to whom we must give an account."
In this season, God is weighing the hearts of leaders, both in the political as well as in the realm
of Christian leadership.
2 Chronicles 16: 9
"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong
on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him!"
cross ref. Job 34: 21, Prov. 5: 21, Jeremiah 16: 17 and Zechariah 4: 10
Daniel 4 describes a dream/vision of Nebuchadnezzar. In verse 13, he tells of a Watcher, a holy
one coming down from heaven. In verse 17, the decree of the Watcher is given. Nebuchadnezzar
comes under sever judgment for his pride and arrogance.
God is serious about the motivations of the hearts of leaders! He is looking for leaders whom He can
trust in these days! Character, integrity, courage, faithfulness, humility and love are necessary
for the man or woman of God!
There is no place for ego or selfish spiritual ambitions. Self promotion has no place in the Kingdom
of God. It's not about us after all. It's about Him and them. There is a high call! You feel it pulling
at your spirit. You feel that there is something higher for you. There is a hunger in the Spirit for
more of God. He is calling you, wooing you!
THREE TYPES OF LEADERS
I Thess. 5: 23, Spirit, Soul and Body
As leaders we function from one of these three places at all times.
Hirelings (Body)
John 10: 11-13,
This type of minister says, "What's in it for me!" They really don't care about the sheep under their
care. They are self motivated. The ministry is more of a job to them. It's all about the pay and
perks!
An example of this was Baalam in Numbers 22-24. The Prophet for profit!
Jude 11, "The error of Baalam for profit" Those who follow his example are marked for destruction!
Servants (Soul)
Acts 15: 36,
Here we see John Mark early in his life. The attitude when things become difficult is "I didn't sign up
for this!" There is a limit to their commitment to serving Christ. Consequently, there is a limit to the
fruit they wil bear. They pick and choose what they will or will not do. They stay in control of their
lives.
These are motivated by their emotions and their reasoning abilities. They are rational thinkers. In
the soul area, they are still looking out for number one! They will not stick when it gets tough!
Bond Servants (Spirit)
Acts 2: 18,
My Servants! They belong to and obey the Lord! Ownership!
Bond servants can not be bought or sold!
There is a deeper yeildedness and commitment to God.
"Not my will, but Yours!" Jesus and the Apostles!
2 Cor. 4: 5,
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for
Jesus sake."
Romans 8: 14,
Here we are told that mature sons are lead by the Spirit of God.
The Holy Spirit is in control. The soul is submitted to the spirit man, who is submitted to the
Lordship of Jesus Christ!
I Thess. 2: 19, 20,
Paul speaks of his converts as his joy and crown! They are his reward. Paul did not look at the
people whom he was discipling as an opportunity to get money, position or power from himself.
He was only interested in bringing them to Christ and helping them mature as Christians. He did
not use or abuse them!
Unless we give Him to them, His Presence and His Power, we have nothing really to give them!
It is only Jesus who will answer the cry of their heart and answer their deepest needs!
2 Cor. 5: 10,
speaks of the judgment seat of Christ where we receive our rewards for what we have done in this life.
Our eternal destiny is Jesus! He is our prize! He is our goal! No fame or honor will compare
to Him!!!!

Good word - and much food for thought.
Thanks
