NEWSLETTER OF THE MINISTRY OF THE WATCHMAN INTERNATIONAL

Summer 2005

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be made known by the church the manifold wisdom of God. Eph. 3:10

From the President


Dear Friends:
Well, another year has come and gone since our last Newsletter communication with you. I trust that all is well with you and you are growing in the Lord. Can we talk? I am so overjoyed at some of the wonderful doors God has opened for us. As you know, I now reside in Ohio, and many of the new things God is doing He is doing there. First of all, we have acquired a building for our meetings. We are located in the heart of midtown Cleveland. Our address is 4200 Prospect Avenue. Our building is around 3,000 square feet and seats about 125 in the sanctuary. We are still making a few renovation adjustments. Everybody pitched in to make this building exactly what the Lord would have it to be. We have enough space for all the things that we need, plus room to grow when necessary! Everybody who comes in loves it and remarks how nice and solid the building is. We are looking forward to many great meetings there and hope you will come and visit soon. When youre in Cleveland, please stop by wed love to see you. Secondly, we have reconnected with some old friends, one of whom is a very special brother by the name of Mark Olds. Brother Mark is working on a dynamic ministry called The Restoration Movement. The purpose of the ministry is to restore people into the mainstream of society by offering amnesty for many misdemeanor offenses, and the opportunity to have classes to be trained in expungement of their criminal records. Last November the first initiative yielded 14,000 persons paying fines for misdemeanors, and 28 guns turned in. The City of Cleveland was the beneficiary because thousands of dollars in fines were paid. Combining the effort with daily prayer is what makes this ministry work, so we are happy to be a part of whatever the Restoration Movement is doing. In addition to this, we are praying about an offer that I received to periodically cohost a conservative radio talk program. While it is in the planning stages, I would like to ask the Lord if I am involved in it, how much involvement should I have, and of course the program needs sponsors. We thank God that the republican party sees the need to reach out to all segments of society, and we are praying that many persons will see this as a means of restoring a strong moral foundation in the earth. Also, we have agreed to partner with Evangelist David Horton Ministries to host two tent meetings tentatively scheduled for summer, 2006. In preparation for this, I was blessed to work with Brother Horton and his ministry team recently in Jamaica, mon! God did many wonderful miracles there; most notably a boy with a paralytic palsy was able to straighten out his limbs and was saved. As you know, Brother Horton has a ministry in signs and wonders, so we especially want to partner with him. It should be an exciting year for us, as we plan to have tent meetings in both Cleveland and Detroit. We know that these meetings will have a glorious impact in these cities. We praise God for the effort Brother Horton is making to wake up the sleeping church to its role in winning the lost for Christ. We will keep you posted on dates, times, etc. We are looking forward to a tremendous work among Gods people and among the lost. Lastly, I want to encourage you to purchase my new book. It is a healing devotional entitled Seven Weeks to Health and Healing This book is special to me, because the teachings contained in it were done to encourage my late husband, Aubrey, as he fought several terminal diseases before he went home to be with the Lord three years ago. He encouraged me greatly in my writing he enjoyed reading the devotionals. I hope you will order several copies and give them away to those in need of the Masters healing touch. The description of the book is on the bottom of this page of this newsletter.

Until we meet again ~ Pastor Barb

WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH


TAKEN FROM THE PROPHECIES PAGE at WWW.MINISTRYOFTHEWATCHMAN.COM

2005: THE YEAR OF THE HIGHER PLACE

Testing your Love


Excerpt of a Prophecy given through Barbara Williams, January 8, 2005
If you have been encouraged by what you have read here, then visit the PROPHECIES Page on our website and read more of what the Spirit is saying to the Church today. A call to come up higher, says the Lord. This is a call to come up higher. It is a call to a higher dimension in Me, a higher purpose, a higher power, a higher empowerment in your life, says the Lord. It is a time where I will empower in a higher way those who meet My test, says the Lord. And there will come a testing to your life, says the Spirit of God. There will come a testing so that you can know who you trust, says the Lord. For the test is always the same: Do you love Me? Do you trust Me? says the Spirit of God. Do you love Me, and do you trust Me? says the Lord. For I have given unto you all things. And surely, things will be tested. Your love for things will be sorely tested, says the Spirit of God. Your love for the things of this world will be tested, says the Lord. Your love for the things that dont pertain to eternity will be tested, says the Lord. And, Oh, you say you love Me in your heart, and, Oh, you say youll do anything for Me, and, Oh, you say all these things, says the Lord. But you will be tested, and it will be proven, says the Spirit of God. And those of you wholl cry out during the test, I will hear you, and I will provide whatever it is that you need This is a time of great crying out to Me, this is a time of great consecration to Me, of seclusion unto My purpose, says the Spirit of God. This is not a time for your own ideas. This is not a time for clinging to that which gives you comfort, says the Lord. This is not a time for clinging to anything except the inner strength, and the inner resolve to hold on, says the Spirit. those people that survived that great flood of water survived because they held on, says the Spirit. For when the floods of adversity came against them, they found something that they could anchor themselves to, and the survivors hung on, and they lived to give the testimony of the greatness of their God.

And so think not that these tests have come as just a quiz and if you flunk this one, there is another one coming for this is no quiz; this is THE TEST this is the fire this is the refining fire this is the crucible of your life, says the Spirit of God. And this is the test to test your resolve to see if you will let go of that which you hold dear and cling to Me. This is the test of your resolve to see if you will cling to that which you hold dear, or if you will cling to Me, says the Lord. This is the test of your resolve, says the Spirit of God, to see whether you will cling to that which YOU hold dear, or if you will cling to ME, says the Spirit of the Lord. Even if it means letting some things go. Even if it means letting go of Isaac, the promised seed that you dearly love, but I am causing you to kill it, and let it die, says the Spirit of God. (But you know that I will raise it up again. You know that it will return to you. You know I am faithful, and you know that I am good, says the Spirit of God.) And understand that these things must need be, because many of you are standing at the breakthrough point of receiving everything that Ive promised you but youve got to do it in My fashion. For I am fashioning something in you that will cause you to hold on to that which I give you. ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH IN MY KINGDOM JUST TO ACQUIRE, BUT YOU MUST HOLD ON TO IT! says the Spirit of God. So I am putting inner strength in you that you might HOLD ON! That you might HOLD ON to that which I give you! That you might HOLD ON to that which youve prayed for that you might HOLD ON to that which has been promised you, says the Lord. That lifelinethat thing that Ive promised you in your heart that thing that would please you most, says the Spirit of God. You must be strengthened in your inner man so that when I give it to you, you can hold on to it, and you can recognize it as something that is good for your life, says the Spirit of God. So I have much to do in my Bride this year. I have much to do within you. The inner workings of My Spirit will be known. The inner workings of My Spirit will be shown, and those of you who come forth as gold, everyone will know that you held on, says the Spirit, for you will have a testimony and you will have the revelation, and you will possess that which I have promised you the deeper things the things that are dear to your heart the things that are even unspoken the things that you dont even know about that I have for you can be given and will be given for those who pass My test. They will be given to those who pass My test. They will be given to those who pass My test. It is a test of endurance, it is a test of love, it is a test of faithfulness, and it is a test of commitment to Me, says the Spirit of the Living God.

PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS


TAKEN FROM THE PRAY WITH US PAGE at WWW.MINISTRYOFTHEWATCHMAN.COM

An Excerpt from a Daily Teaching,


TAKEN FROM THE DAILY TEACHING PAGE at WWW.MINISTRYOFTHEWATCHMAN.COM

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 victories, it is vital that we pray without ceasing. We continue to pray for Gods intervention and protection for our rulers, leaders, and protective services. PLEASE JOIN US AS IN PRAYING PSALM 91 FOR OUR TROOPS He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that 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 near you. 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 come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you 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, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set 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 honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation."

A teaching by Rev. Barbara Williams, president of the Ministry of the Watchman International

MONDAY

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:1-2
Because the Lord leads me, I have no lack, or want. I am fulfilled. The leading of the Lord brings fulfillment. Does it seem that your life is lacking in any way? I think we all experience this from time to time. We wonder when were going to receive the answer to our prayer. We wonder when God is going to do a certain thing for us. We wonder God never leads us to wonder. He leads us to provision and refreshment. He waters our thirsty To begin receiving The Daily Teaching in your email, write us at souls. He makes it easy for us to ministryofthewatchman@hotmail.com be refreshed. We have peace and or visit the DAILY TEACHING PAGE at our wondering ceases. Take on WWW.MINISTRYOFTHEWATCHMAN.COM His peace like a garment. Trust that as you ask Him to lead you to peace, He will.
==================== If you are in need of healing, there is good news! Proverbs 4:20-22 SAYS: My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. So there is life and health in God's word. Since God's word is medicine, we must take it like we would a prescription. I suggest three times a day, like you would your food. Remember, healing is the children's bread. Consider this your dose for today. Remember, read, and meditate three times a day the following: Rx: Psalm 21:4: He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days forever and ever. ====================

Most Wanted
We are continuing to pray that Iraqs 55 Most Wanted be apprehended and born again. When we began these prayers, we started a checklist to monitor of our progress. According to a Readers Digest article, our Commander in Chief, Pres. George W. Bush keeps a similar list in his desk drawer in the Oval office! When one of the most wanted is is captured, he checks them off his list.
