The Watchman is one who is assigned a specific list of duties in prayer and warfare that have the following functions for the body of Christ: protection, defense, observation, warning, revelation, offense, execution of written judgments upon principalities and powers, establishing Divine government of the church, preparing the way of the Lord, and carrying out the Word of the Lord.
This ministry is a function of the office of the prophet. Prophets were in old times called "seers" (1 Samuel 9:9) so the watchman had to "see" into the spirit what God wants him to see and take authority over forces of spiritual darkness that hold people in bondage to sin and darkness. As you can see, these duties are consistent with the office of the prophet, and where some duties had a natural execution under the old covenant, they have spiritual executions under the New Covenant.
This book contains foundational tools and insight for your ministry. It clearly outlines the ministry of the watchman from the Word of God, and the necessity for this ministry in the Church. Whether you are in full time ministry, called the ministry, or a believer who wants to fulfill the great commission, this book is for you!
