In today's episode, the word of God is mental to intercede, and we look into the office of the watchman. Hallo and welcome to today's podcast. So we're looking into what watchmen do. Basically, that's intercession, full-time intercession. Because intercession is a full-time job, it requires full-time focus, because there are places where we go that need prayer before, during, and after getting there. We need to prepare ourselves before going, prepare those places, So then we pray through our time there and after our time there, because we've learned and get new information while there, new intelligence, and this is key, we're not to let any prophetic information go to waste as intercessors. Each piece of spiritual information is a nugget to help us prophesy God's will over the place and people we come across each day. Now, mantles. This is another piece of spiritual hardware. They get activated when they're put to work, put to action. Intercession is everyone's business in the body of Christ as a rule, but some of us have got specific mantles for this as watchmen. So each part of the Body of Christ is to pray in tongues, and every part has to pray in tongues at the same time as the other parts. Each ministry level has to pray in tongues at the same time as the others, because that unlocks realms of revelation that each part does not have access to on its own, but only as one body, one unit. And this is why, you know, Um, the, you know, you, you've got time, times in the Bible where people were together, um, when the Holy Spirit showed up because there was unity. So if, if you're not coming to church, you bring the anointed that you've been stewing during the week in the secret place, your spiritual gifts, talents that you've taken care of during the week through obedience to the voice of God and the Holy Spirit, then what are you doing? You're missing out, and the whole body of Christ is missing out because you don't know which revelation it needs that only your speaking in tongues can unlock. Acts 2:4 from the Amplified Bible: And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out. 1 Corinthians 12:10. And to another the working of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues and to another interpretation of tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:2. For one who speaks in unknown tongues, in unknown tongue, does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands him or catches his meaning, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries. These signs will accompany those who have believed: in my name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues. Speaking in tongues is like a secret code that unlocks the safe, the place of treasure, that is speaking in a language that only our Eternal Father understands and uses in communion, in koinonia, and in agape with us. The deciphering of it is only open to those who have the gift of translating tongues and to ourselves. We get words, visions, or just knowing that we know what to do and its timing. Accuracy while praying in tongues is crucial, and for that we need to receive a daily infill of the Holy Spirit, a daily washing, soaking in the blood of Jesus, and systematic repentance, systematic heart checks, knowing that feelings are not reliable GPS trackers, and that intentions can be birthed from pride, envy, jealousy, rebellion, and submission to leaders. The first thing to do after joining is the daily cleanup, then get an infill of the Holy Spirit, that everything in us, every cell in our bodies, minds, souls, spirits, memory recall included, would be realigned with heaven, and that a guard and watch would be set over our— over every part. And I want to insist on that. Every cell and every DNA strand has to realign because it's no longer us who lives in us, but Christ the King of Glory that lives in us. We have to be glorious vessels, sparkling clean, pure, to host His presence. Praying in tongues is intercession language that can't be understood by unsaved people, unsaved Christians included. It is sacred information that needs to be guarded, studied so well, sometimes that even those who utter it don't get to understand what they say, but the revelation gets opened up, for example, months later or years later, when returning to a place where we prayed in tongues and seeing what the Lord has done there, so He gets the glory and we don't get any, because we're not to get any anyhow, it's all for Him. To go back to the dimension of mantles, some of, um, some of us have their prophetic eyes, ears, and visions open, activated, in full use. Therefore, we get to see those heaps of mantles, crowns, shoes, scepters, swords, signet rings, and staff that have piled up over the centuries because the church has not come after them to grab hold of them. And they're assigned to specific folks. They've got names on them. A mantle is a range of operations: evangelist, pastor, teacher, prophet or apostle, intercessor, businessperson, or king. And you can get several or one at a time, depending on the season you're in. But let me tell you that if you're breaking new ground, you're going to need a bunch. Powerful ones with that. How do you know you're getting equipped, um, that you're going to get a new kit, a new refurbishing? You've probably been browsing for clothes or shoes recently and been feeling dissatisfied with last season's clothes and shoes. That's because you are at a spiritual threshold and that your new gear is already pulling on your spirit. There are appointed times, kairos moments, and to whoever says that there's no such thing as the perfect moment, I call you an outlier. I rebuke you in Jesus' name because the kairos moment is the perfect moment where steps, results, and vision come all together. The new equipment has to happen in the spirit first, then in the natural realm. When you go and you get new equipment for the season, the old has to go, because God is not a God of lack, and the orders are step by step that we never lack. So basically, you will get new equipment, and then after that you can discard the old. You can give away all that has to be given away. So Father, we come to you today, we thank you for all the new things you've got prepared for us in this coming season. Lord, we're just a few months away from Rosh Hashanah, from the heavenly portal season, but we know, we know that July is the time to get the new mantles, to get the new gear, to get refreshed. Thank you, Father, for showing us where to step, where to tread. Because we've been treading where angels fear to tread. Oh, shaya rrrr, pter pter pter, shika rrrr, pter pter pter. We've been in places where angels wouldn't go. Oh, because they're too scared to go there. But we've been oblivious. Ah, shaya rrrr, pter pter pter, shika rrrr, pter pter pter. We've ignored the warnings. We've been anyhow. And we've come back to testify, we've come back to witness. Intercession cannot be stopped. Prophesying cannot be stopped. It's an ongoing thing, huh? It's an ongoing project. Open up the heavens and pour out your righteousness. Open up the heavens and pour out your righteousness. Open up the heavens. Mental's dropping! Mental's dropping! Mental's dropping!
Mentals dropped!
Mentals have dropped!
Hey, grab them while you can and run with them.
Oh, start running, start running, start running.
Don't wait, don't wait. It's a season to wait. It's a season to grab hold of the mantles and run.
Grab hold of the mantles and run. The season of the unwelcomed places and spaces is finished. The season of the unwelcoming spaces and places is finished. The season of rough places and spaces is finished. The season of rough people is finished. The season of inconvenience is finished.
Oh, a new technology download is here. The mantles of this season are your armor. Wrap up, wrap up, wrap up, wrap up.
Start running, start running, start running.
Tuck your mantle in and run. Tuck your mantle in and run.
Run, Prophet, run. Run, Prophet, run. Run, Prophet, run. May the Lord bless you, keep you, make you special, and be gracious to you. Bye for now. Thank you for listening to the Alive Leader Podcast. Like, subscribe, and share this podcast.
