This book is dedicated
to the One
who called me to be a Watchman
and an End-time Warrior.
I give Glory to God!

Also, to my children,
Larry Jr., Ryan and Bridgette,
who somehow understood the call, and
helped me along the way.

Thank you,
Pastor Barbara A Williams,
my sister, mentor and pastor,
for the Prophets leadership and direction.
Without the Prophets direction,
where are we going?

END-TIMES ARE
EXCITING TIMES
It is an exciting time to serve God. I believe that in
this time that we are living in, God is going to do more
and we are going to do less. It is in this season that God
is training us like never before. We are being trained for
something we've never seen before; something we have
never done before.

This is the ultimate time to be living for God. We will


see God's glory manifest everywhere we look. We are
going to see God really come through for us in situations
we have been praying about. God is doing exceedingly
and abundantly above all we ask or think.

Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by
Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

AWAKE AND PUT ON STRENGTH!

We are Ephesians 3:20 people. This means that He is


going to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we
could ever ask for or think, but it is according to what we
think and believe, according to the power that we possess
on the inside of us.

We are end-time warriors and it is a big responsibility


because God is changing things. He is preparing us for
what is to come. What is to come is going to be greater
than what we could ever imagine.

We should be thankful that He chose us. We are


Gods snipers and sharpshooters. End-time warriors are
handpicked by God and are called to make a difference,
and we do make a difference.

OUR CALLING
Isaiah 60:1-3
Arise, shine; For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be
seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.

End-time warriors are called to set the captives free,


to be a light in the dark place and to never allow the
flame to go out. Don't ever let your flame go out, even if
you feel bad. Never let your flame go out, because there is
someone who needs even what little flicker of light you
have. It still shines, even when you are not feeling all that
powerful.

Someone once said that a bad day with God is better


than a great day just being out there on your own in the
world. So even if you are feeling bad, share what you

9
AWAKE AND PUT ON STRENGTH!

have anyway. Share it even if you don't feel it. Share what
you have, even if you have a little bit of doubt because
the devil is always fighting your faith. Be a light in the
midst of darkness.

Matthew 5:14-16
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and
put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives
light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven.

End-time warriors must submit to the Lord and to


the five-fold ministry gifts.

Ephesians 4:11-13
He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets,
some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for
the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the
unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of
the fullness of Christ;

The leadership ministries of the apostle, prophet,


evangelist, pastor and teacher are His gifts to the church.
I've never seen an end-time warrior or someone who is

10
Our Calling

called to do exploits for God be successful without


submitting to the five-fold ministry gifts. For example,
an end-time warrior must submit to the authority of the
prophet because they need the direction and vision the
prophet provides for the body of Christ. They are
equipped by God to us to give direction and guidance.

Five-fold ministry gifts teach us to use the word of


God skillfully, walk in the spirit, and not obey the lustful
temptations of the flesh.

Galatians 5:16-17
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill
the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are
contrary to one another, so that you do not do the
things that you wish.

The end-time church is not going to have time for


flesh and that is what God is delivering us out of now.

2 Timothy 2:4
No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the
affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted
him as a soldier.

11
AWAKE AND PUT ON STRENGTH!

God is delivering us from anything that would


entangle us and keep us from obeying our calling. He is
delivering us from pettiness and from ourselves. He is
delivering us from being involved in things that we
shouldn't be involved in. God is teaching us by His spirit
to live for Him by faith;, depending on Him. When we
allow God to be our only source, we will be comfortable
in what God is doing and not being concerned about
what the world, other churches or other people are
doing. We will find our satisfaction, knowing we belong
to Him.

Song of Solomon 2:10


My beloved spoke, and said to me: Rise up, my love,
my fair one, and come away."

God is beckoning to the hearts of those whom He has


called to do an end-time work, and we are listening,
learning and believing. We are stepping out in faith,
responding to Gods commission. If we don't do it, who's
going to do it? We are bypassing the fear and the pride
that sometimes ensnares us so that we do not move in
the right direction.

We are living by faith, and faith works by love. The


devil does not want us to show love and mercy on people

12
Our Calling

who need mercy. He wants us to deal with people using


an iron clad fist, and not show compassion.

James 2:13
For judgment is without mercy to the one who has
shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.

The devil wants us to step on people, but God wants


us to extend the hand of mercy.

God has an end-time plan for us, and we know it is as


easy as trusting God and submitting to His headship and
authority. We must practice walking in the spirit, not
obeying the flesh.
