VISION: 
You are invited to join with others  to  "Exalt Jesus Among the Nations" for 21 days, 1-22 January 2021.  Flowing out of the December 31st -January 1st   24 hour Global Upper Room (7am-7am CT) with IHOPKC, we invite you to step forward into 2021 engaging with others from across the nations for daily worship/prayer morning and evening.   Our dependence on Jesus' leadership is crucial in days of increasing conflict and deception. We believe "Exalting Jesus" at the head of the year will be a vital catalyst for Jesus' pre-eminence in our personal and corporate lives for the coming year. God is calling Watchmen to rise, take an Isaiah 62:6 stance, be relentless, and persistent in seeking and declaring His purposes for the nations and Jerusalem.  By gathering together, an Isaiah 52:8 reality is forming where Watchmen will connect, raise their voices, sing together, and see eye to eye as we lay siege to His divine purpose and destiny for the nations and Israel.  This call is a divine invitation to meet one another on a neutral platform, worship, pray, and witness the Isaiah 52:8 reality unfold.  By responding, we will be entering into a rhythm of heaven, with morning and evening prayer, and celebrating Shabbats, for spiritual breakthrough and advance to possess the gates of this coming year. ​

WHAT:  The Global Upper Room will feature the following:
  • Daily prayer/worship  morning and evening, 6am and 3pm Jerusalem time (see below for time conversion)  
  • Friday International Shabbats led by Israel ministries January 1st and  22nd; and the  "Jesus Haus" community in Herrnhut, Germany,  January 8th and 15th.

​​WHY:
Why morning and evening prayer?  Morning and evening prayer is biblical and carry great promises (Joshua 1:8, 1 Kings 8:29, 1 Chron 16:40, 2 Chron 6:20 to name a few).  By engaging in these times, we will be setting a powerful spiritual precedence for spiritual breakthrough and advance.  These hours are biblically significant and catalytic times of prayer.     
Break of dawn prayer is powerful:
  • It is the time when prayer "Shakes the wicked out of the day," Job 38:12-13 
  • It is the time of resurrection power, Psalm 46:5-6,  Matthew 28:1
  • Time of spiritual breakthrough, Genesis 33:24
  • Ignites spiritual awakening:  Psalm 63:1-2;  Psalm 108:1-3
  • Sets the spiritual atmosphere for the day to make way for Kingdom advance:  2 Chron 20:20, Isaiah 58:8
The evening sacrifice or ninth hour prayer is highlighted by the following: 
  • Divine encounters, Ezra 9:4-6, Acts 10:3, 30-31
  • Healing:  The first healing after Pentecost, Acts 3:1
  • Salvation:  Ultimately it was the hour when Jesus gave it all, and the veil was rent in the temple forever.  Matthew 15:34. 
CALL TO FAST:  Isaiah 58:9-12 Fast 21 Days
  • As one of the core values of the "Watch" is developing healthy community, Ekklesia, we are calling for an Isaiah 58:9 fast for the 21 days.  The fast will emphasize fasting from negative thinking or speaking.  The reality of Zechariah 3 and Revelation 12:10 is upon us.  The "Accuser of the Brethren" is raging.  Taking a corporate stance in refusing to speak negatively, will be a powerful stance in this coming season.  Please join us with this focus.  
    • If you take away the pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.  The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.  Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, and the Restorer of Streets to Dwell in.  Isaiah 58:9-12 
  • You may want to fast food along with the discipline and focus towards speaking and thinking life.  
CALL TO PRAY:  Herald the Watchman Call:
In this time of uncertainty and chaos, the prayer movement is being called into a new level of alertness.  God is calling forth a Watchmen movement in response to the prevailing sense of a divine shift.  What does that mean?  How do we respond and walk such a shift out?  Each week we will be emphasizing key concepts of the Watchmen's call, its biblical foundations, revival heritage, and import for today:
  • Week 1 January 1-8  The individual call, Habakkuk 2:1
  • Week 2 January 9-15  The corporate call,  Neh 4:19-20
  • Week 3 January 16-22  The end-time call.   Isaiah 58:2, 62:6-7

Prayer Focuses and Devotionals for 21 Days: 

Week 1
The Individual Call of the Watchmen
Week 2
​The Community Call of the Watchmen
Week 3
The End-time Call of the Watchmen
OUR FAITH EXPECTATIONS FOR THE 21 DAYS: 
  • Participants will be spiritually encouraged and strengthened
  • The revelation of the call to Watch will be solidified through biblical foundations and revelatory insight
  • Voices across the nations will be heard through corporate worship/prayer expressions
  • The family of Watchmen will increase in strength, purpose, and resolve
  • Birth of new connections and collaborative expressions

"Then I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, 'The work is great and extensive, and we are separated far from one another on the wall.  Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there.  Our God will fight for us.'”
