Being in the night is such a blessing. After about three and a half weeks of doing it I’ve already had an immediate push into the word and prayer and just really feeling a ton of freedom in my life. It’s been awesome. I’m not sure how to wrap up this thought and move on to the next… so I just will.

A few months ago when I was still on days I got this impression, I’m not sure if I want to say word, that healing revival was coming to night watch first. I told a few of my friends why it made sense to me and believed it was from the Lord. And little did I know that the night watch family (my family) has been crying out every night for healing revival in our city and taking multiple times of ministry to pray for the sick in the room. It’s been great, and it is just super encouraging to my heart to see and participate in.

I might stay on nights longer than I planned.

Being in a community where a message is continually lifted up, it is easy to have in my mind, but not have it move my heart. So what it looks like for me right now is taking what the Word says seriously. That five virgins were wise and five were foolish, and I don’t want to be lacking in the day of the Lord’s return. I want to endure through trial and tribulation. I have to truly set my mind on things above, and now that I have a goal I have to set up life to gain it.

This post was short, but this is what has been on my heart the past few nights.

Over the past month I’ve felt more stirred for the hour in which I live more than ever. So I’ve looked at my heart and my life and have made some decisions to, in my own way prepare for the day ahead.

I’ve switched my schedule back to full time night watch, standing on the wall from 12:00-6:00am. I have also more so committed to the youth department here, Student Ministries, attending and helping lead some small groups, prayer meetings and weekend services.

There is just a real fear of the Lord on my heart lately and knowing I don’t want to waste anymore time truly giving myself to the word, standing with Jesus and seeking His heart for me, cities and nations. I want to agree with the plans of his heart and lean on His goodness in this time of shaking.
