Disciples and friends of the ministry are fasting and praying for 21 days, January 10-31, 2012. We are thankful for those who have committed to come before the Father with a surrendered heart. Jo Hancock spoke a Word from God to us beginning the fast last night. This word was powerful! Please join in this blog to add comments to let us know what God is doing in your life during this fast.

Watchmen Praying

Watchmen over the City
Of Montgomery
Prayer is the most important mission we as Christians will ever be called to do. Let me say that again. Prayer is the most important mission we as Christians will ever be called to do! And that is exactly what many in the City of Montgomery, who have a heart for the city, are committed to do. Individuals commit to watching over the city of Montgomery through fasting and praying. Everyday at least one watchman is assigned and committed to praying for the needs of the city. We know, “…unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.”
Watchmen are critical for many reasons. In the Bible, watchmen would pray for repentance in the city (Ezekiel 18:30-32). They were called to wake up the city from its apostasy (Hosea 8:1) and turn from destruction (Amos 3:6). Praying watchmen provide protection from invasion (Jeremiah 4:5) and report any sign of danger approaching the city (II Samuel 18:24-27).
With the continual threat of division, darkness, and terrorism presently on our nation, watchmen are critical for the protection of the city. In fact, it is felt to be a mandate from the throne of God!
Each watchman prays for three specific things: repentance of the city, peace of the city of Montgomery and its authorities, and the peace of Jerusalem. Each watchman is assigned one day out of a 40-day cycle. Every 40 days, a new assignment date is given to each watchman. There is no sign-in or sign-out, each watchman simply reports to God on his/her assigned day! The watchman seeks the leading of the Holy Spirit of God what time of the day to pray, where in downtown of the city to watch and pray, and how long to pray on their assigned day.
The Call…
Any Christian who has a heart for God, a heart for the City of Montgomery, and who is willing to humble themselves before God with a pure heart is encouraged to pray about being a part of this call. At the present, there are over 65 watchmen participating. To obtain additional information, you can email Jo Hancock of His Vessel Ministries at jo@hisvessel.org and indicate in the subject line of your email it is in reference to “watchman mission over the city.”

The people of Montgomery are ready for an outward manifestation of God and know it will only come through prayer from a pure and humbled heart! There is a strong anticipation of a great movement of God in the city of Montgomery, Alabama.

Testimony from Mattie Boswell
January 19, 2011
Filed under His Vessel Blog
A week ago Mattie gave an offering to His Vessel ministry, it was a sacrifice for her but she was obedient to the Lord. Later that week she was pulled over by the police because she had a tail light out. While searching for her registration she found an envelope full of money! You see Mattie had been praying for money to go to the Gathering! Mattie had not driven this car in years as it needed repairs so Mattie doesn’t even remember how many years ago she put that money in there. So God answered her prayers and she is so excited to be able to go to the Gathering and have enough money to pay for car repairs too. God provides! Just pray and believe!

Testimony from God of Order Discipleship
September 16, 2010
Filed under His Vessel Blog
His Vessel Ministries purposes to teach women God’s order for the home. Monthly teachings focus on getting the home in spiritual and physical order according to God’s Word. The teachings follow Titus 2:4-5 and include topics such as ordering the home to become a restful and secure dwelling place, restoring the family altar, loving and submitting to your husband, speaking blessings, loving your children, as well as being a discreet and pure women. Read the words of one disciple who particpated in this discipleship.
For two years I have been involved with the God of Order Order My Home discipleship at His Vessel Ministries. I could not figure out why I was drawn to the teaching considering I am single, have no children, and that is one of the focuses of the teaching. But God has allowed me to see now that my home is in order-as He would have it, and His light shines forth through my home, people are beginning to want to come into my home to “gather.” I can now share His light with others as they come into my home! Being able to allow people to come to my home who have or are facing many of the same struggles I have in the past is a testimony to what God can and is willing to do for us when we seek His will. And when we chase after Him with the urgency like we are looking for our next breath whether or not we understand it, He will use us. He amazes me how good and how awesome He is in all situations when we seek His will and not our own! Juli Johnson
God of Order Order My Home discipleship is a year-long ministry beginning in January of each year. Should you have an interest in particpating in this exciting and rewarding discipleship ministry contact His Vessel Ministries at jo@hisvessel.org. Place in the subject line God of Order Discipleship.
