The Address To GAPP Tuesday Night
Apostle Oral Hazell Address to GAPP
Watchmen, as defined by Merriam-Webster's dictionary, are individuals who keep watch and guard.
Watchmen encompass: prophets, prophetic people, intercessors, prayers and others who keenly observe three specific activities:
1. the enemy's actions
2.the work of angels
3. and God's movements.
Jesus Himself instructed all of us to "watch and pray" (Matt. 26:41).
Watchmen play a vital role in keeping watch, discerning the plans of the enemy, anticipating the Lord's coming, recognizing angelic work, and maintaining vigilance.
They give warnings, sound alarms, stand in the gap, and protect spiritual boundaries.
As watchmen, we are crucial in fulfilling the vision of GAPP Global and Nation Watch, actively participating in the mission to watch and pray over nations.

This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

For His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not [b]continue ministering because of the cloud; *for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.What is this cloud- the glory cloud?

WATCHMEN WHO LOOKED FOR THE GLORY
A watchman must understand his role or function as a watchman; this is vital to the success of the watchman’s God-ordained mission.
- A watchman blows the trumpet and sounds the alarm when the enemy approaches.
- (Joel 2:1)”Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;”
- The watchman's role is to pray, seek God's guidance, and stand in the gap for others.
- Ezekiel 33:7 “So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.”
Notes
- Ezekiel is appointed as a watchman to the house of Israel in Ezekiel 33:7, tasked with being a spiritual overseer and guardian for the people.
- At times God will APPOINT YOU AS A WATCHMAN OVER HIS HOUSE/ HIS PEOPLE.
- As a watchman, Ezekiel is instructed to directly hear the word from God's mouth, emphasizing the need for divine revelation to fulfill his role effectively.
- **Ezekiel's primary duty as a watchman is to warn and proclaim God's message to the people of Israel, conveying His warnings and calling them to repentance.
- This verse teaches the importance of spiritual accountability and the role of watchmen in guiding and watching over others, ensuring their faithfulness and obedience to God's commands.
- Isaiah 62:6 “I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,”
- In prayer, the watchman will remind God of His eternal purpose.
Notes

Why do we need Spiritual Watchmen Today?
- Spiritual watchmen are those who observe and warn the church of the states and changes of the spiritual realm.
- *Spiritual watchmen are equipped by God to see what others do not see and to hear the word of God for His people.
- Spiritual watchmen have a role in prayer and warfare against the enemy and in establishing the divine government of the church.
The Work of the Spiritual Watchman
- Spiritual watchmen engage in prayer, interceding on behalf of the church, its members, and its leaders.
- They participate in spiritual warfare, actively combating the strategies and attacks of the enemy through prayer and spiritual discernment.
- Spiritual watchmen contribute to establishing the divine government of the church by aligning with God's will, seeking His guidance, and promoting unity and righteousness among believers.
- Their role involves upholding the principles and values of God's Kingdom within the church, ensuring that it operates in alignment with His purposes and reflects His glory.
- Spiritual watchmen are needed today because we live in a time of great deception, apostasy and danger from the adversary, the devil, who seeks to devour us.
