    I was diagnosed with a detached retina back inOctober, which caused a loss of vision in my right eye.

    underwent emergency surgery and was told my

    ision should improve within 30 days. However, itid not get better. I have followed the Watchman

    Ministry since 2001 and knew that healings occurredn the meetings. Therefore, I went and Pastor Barbrayed for me and I noticed that my vision improved.oday I came back for prayer again and was prayed

    or by Pastor Shirley and I immediately noticed thatmy vision was restored! Gwen Zachary, Cleveland, OH

    For 4 years I have experienced severe swelling andain in both legs. The doctors diagnosed me with

    ymphedema. I had to walk on a cane intermittentlyor several years. I had even been hospitalized for theondition. I was invited to the Cleveland Healingchool as a guest of Pastor Barbs. After the preachingwent to the altar for prayer believing God for healing

    my legs. Two days after the meeting I went to theoctor and he wrapped my legs. I was still trusting

    esus, the He aler. On the Thursday fol lowing the

    ealing school, I went back to the doctor. The doctor

    saw that the swelling was gone and asked, How didthis happen? since she knew she had done nothing. Iimmediately shouted Jesus did it. I am now able towalk without the cane, run and jump without pain.Praise Jesus! Gail McGhee, Inkster, MI

    I have suffered from migraine headaches for severalyears. Before the Gathering of Eagles Conference, Iexperienced a severe migraine headache. I had towear dark glasses due to the increased pain from thelight. Nothing would stop the pain. I had experiencedthe pain for 2 consecutive days on the day of theHealing School. After hearing the Word, I went to thealtar for prayer. I received immediate relief from thepain. I was then able to take off the dark glasses with

    no pain. Since that time, I have confessed the Wordthree times per day as instructed by Pastor Barb. Ihave not had a full-blown migraine since that time.My mother, for all of her adult life, was addicted toalcohol. She had tried to stop several times in the pastwithout success. I had received deliverance throughprayer at the Ministry of the Watchman. She came tothe Ministry of the Watchman to receive prayer.Pastor Shirley prayed and laid hands on her.

    WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH... TAKENFROMTHE PROPHECIES PAGEATMI NI STRYOFTHEWATCHMAN.C

    Scriptures to

    Pray for ProdigalsJob 33:14-30For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man dnot perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When desleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction.

    In order to turn man from his deed, And conceal pride frman, He keeps back his soul from the Pit, And his life frperishing by the sword.

    Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, And with stro

    pain in many of his bones, So that his life abhors bread, Ahis soul succulent food.

    His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones stick owhich once were not seen. Yes, his soul draws near the And his life to the executioners.

    If there is a messenger for him, A mediator, one amonthousand, To show man His uprightness, Then He is gracito him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pihave found a ransom;

    His flesh shall be young like a childs, He shall return to days of his youth. He shall pray to God, and He will delighthim, He shall see His face with joy, For He restores to man Hrighteousness.

    Then he looks at men and says, I have sinned, and perverwhat was right, And it did not profit me. He will redeem soul from going down to the Pit, And his life shall see the lig

    Behold, God works all these things, Twice, in fact, three timwith a man, To bring back his soul from the Pit, That he mbe enlightened with the light of life.

    Hosea 2:6-7Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, Awall her in, So that she cannot find her paths. She will chher lovers, But not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, not find them. Then she will say, I will go and return to first husband, For then it was better for me than now.

    Luke 15:17-21But when he came to himself, he said, How many of fathers hired servants have bread enough and to spare, anperish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and wsay to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and befyou, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Mme like one of your hired servants.

    And he arose and came to his father. But when he was stigreat way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to hiFather, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and no longer worthy to be called your son.

    Pray for the Return of the ProdigaPray for the Return of the ProdigaProphecy Given Through Barbara Williams, December 26, 2010

    The Lord is saying that, My heart is with theprodigal. My heart goes out I weep for the ones who aremissing. I weep for the lost. I leave the 90 and 9 and go

    after the 1 lost one. My heart is always toward the lost,says the Spirit of God.

    And many people are lost and arent aware of it;Sometimes it comes upon them unawares. The enemy setssnares for people. Hes able to trap them in snares. And ittakes prayer and it takes believing and it takes love and ittakes encouragement and it takes all the forces of Mykingdom to retrieve the ones who go astray; to retrieve thelost ones. There are people who have been deceived intothinking that I am merely religion that if they gothrough the motions, then that is the same thing as havingrelationship with the Father.

    And this is what I desire from everybody: relationshipwith Me. There is nothing that is a substitute for relationship

    with Me, says the Lord. Where you call Me Father, and Icall you Son. Where you call Me when you have needs,and I tell you and instruct you how to get those needs met.And you live your life in a comfort and a dignity that comesthrough knowing Me, says the Spirit of God. And Iordained that men would know Me first, and put Me first inall things and never stray from that. NEVER stray fromthat.

    But when straying happens, My heart is toward thatlost one. My heart is toward them, and I go after them,and I send people after them, says the Spirit of God. Isend them in the realm of prayer, and I send them in therealm of My Word, and My prophecy, and My vision that Ihave over that soul, says the Spirit of God. I send themwith a vision to see that soul come back into the securityand the safety of the Fathers house.

    For it is not My will that anybody perish; you canlways pray for salvation for any soul, says the Lord. And I consider all souls

    worth saving, says the Spirit of God. But know that there are snares laid by thenemy, and you who continue with Me are wise in that you didnt fall into thatnare, but there are many snares, says the Lord. Always humble yourself.

    Consider yourself blessed. Never take credit for the fact that youve continuedwith Me, but understand that as a good shepherd I have led you and as a humbleheep you have obeyed My voice.

    So, Take heart! says the Spirit of God. For I am calling many manymany back unto me this year, as I do every year, but especially this year, says thepirit of God. For this year, 2011, is starting a new decade a new 10-yeareriod where there is ample grace to see salvation, ample grace to forgive, amplerace to have repentance in your heart , and ample grace to feel my great love

    ven for those who are lost for whatever reason; those who are astray forwhatever reason.

    So believe Me, says the Lord. Believe Me that I want them back unto Me.want them in the Fathers house, and as they dwell under the shadow of the

    Almighty, then I can bless them with the blessings that they so abundantly need,hat their hearts long for, says the Spirit of the Living God.

    Let them come back. Let them embrace Me. Let them lock in to My Spirit,nd let them be able to abide with Me and learn from Me, says the Spirit of the

    Living God.

    And the empty seats will be filled by those who really love and want toerve Me, says the Lord. Help them to lock in. Be the witness that I know youan be. Live for Me, and live as a good example before men, and surely they willtay and they will grow, and they will flourish just as you do, says the Spirit ofhe Living God.

    Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Luke 18:1

    We continue to pray for our nation during this time of war.There are still troops fighting, there is still a threat of terror,and there are still those enemies who must be apprehended.(Although not as many as when we began! Praise the Lord!)Although we rejoice in the victo ries, it is vital that we praywithout ceasing. We continue to pray for Gods interventionand protection for our rulers, leaders, and protective services.

    SALM 9 1 FOR OUR TROOPS

    e who dwells in the secret place of the Mostigh sha l l ab ide under the shadow o f thelmighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refugend my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.urely He shall deliver you from the snare of the

    owler and from the perilous pestilence. He shallover you with His feathers, and under His wingsou shall take refuge; His truth shall be yourhield and buckler.

    ou shall not be afraid of the terror by night, or ofhe arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilenceat walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall

    at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come nearyou. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High,your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague comenear your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keepyou in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash

    your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, theyoung lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

    Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I willset him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me,

    and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honorhim. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.

    MONDAYFight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto

    thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession beforemany witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12

    he Apostle Paul is writing to Timothy, often described by him as My son in theministry. This implies a that Paul has a relationship to Timothy, not only to a Christianrother, but also to someone in whom he has made an investment of teaching,iendship and fathering. So this command to fight the good fight of faith is one that isven to insure Timothys success by some one who cares about him personally.

    When we care for someone at this level, we want to give them our best counsel. This important information. If Paul gave this admonition to Timothy, then we should takeeed to these words and obey this command. What is the good fight of faith? Why isnecessary for us as Christians to fight? What or whom are we fighting? Is this a

    winnable war?

    erms like fight and war are not popular in this day. We are living in the aftermathf the Peace Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. In order to accept this commando fight the good fight of faith, we have to challenge our normal mode of thinking, andealize that there is something that we must fight. Since Gods word is timeless and

    geless, His commands are to be followed no matter what age it is. So let us examinewhat the good fight of faith is all about and what it is we are fighting.
