Watch Focus December 20, 2024 - The Government of the Promised Son


Our Watch Focus Is Prayer for the release of Seven Christmas Promises! 


Comfort 


Isaiah 40:1-3:  Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.  Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.  The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.


Pray that God’s supernatural Presence bring help from His storehouse for every family in distress. Pray God’s justice is served where there is oppression and violence. Pray the Good News of the gospel and forgiveness of sins be shed abroad during this Christmas season in our nation, through the Americas, in Israel, in Syria, in Ukraine, in Russia, Europe, and Asia. 


The Glory of the Lord 


v. 4-5: Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.


Pray that people everywhere will see the glory of the Lord revealed in 2025. Pray the U.S. Congress experience the fear of the Lord. Pray that common sense overrules every self-interest of every representative. Pray a return to righteous decision and lawmaking. Pray deliverance and blessing come where there has been confusion and chaos.


Renewed Strength  


v. 26-31: Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one fails.  Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, my way is hidden from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?  Have you not known? Have you not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding.  He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increases strength.  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


We look to the Throne and pray for an outpouring of renewed strength to revive the American resource and supply. Strength to return to our economy and every system ordained for wholeness of families, economic, academic, recreational, governmental, and human health related.


A Place Prepared


John 14:1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  In My Father’s house are many[a]mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 


Pray the expectation of hope and assurance of eternal life come in waves of great revival as we enter the new year. Pray for the families who have lost their homes to natural disaster, war, and financial hardship, to experience deliverance from their ordeal. Pray for protection and provision to come from unexpected places, especially for survivors in Western North Carolina, Syria, Israel, and Gaza.


Answered Prayer


v. 12-14: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.  And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.


Give Thanks! Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness toward us in every season. We call to mind and give thanks for every answered prayer this past year. We thank You for bringing us to this time of rejoicing in the Gift of Your Son. We ask You to grant further answers to the watch prayers throughout 2024. Sing a new song in your heaven language.


Another Helper


“If you love Me, keep My commandments.  And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.


Welcome the Holy Spirit! Come, Holy Spirit, fall afresh on us! Fill and refresh, inspire and anoint your people. Heal your church across this nation and revive us again! PRAY IN TONGUES! Pray the Father pour out the spirit of adoption as sons through His Son in 2025.


Peace


v. 25-27: “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace, I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.


Proclaim PEACE! We pray The God of all peace come to us in this season. Receive the peace that passes understanding in every area you and your loved ones are experiencing conflict and opposition. We declare the Prince of Peace reigns over all the earth! We pray the wars in Israel, Syria, and Ukraine, CEASE!


“And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.  Nevertheless, the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, as when at first, He lightly esteemed the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward more heavily oppressed her, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.  You have multiplied the nation and increased its joy; they rejoice before You according to the joy of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For You have broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every warrior’s sandal from the noisy battle, and garments rolled in blood, will be used for burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”  Isaiah 8:22-9:7
