Watchmen, Intercessors & Gatekeepers

What is a Watchmen Prophet

Watchmen, Intercessors & Gatekeepers

January 14, 2025

Spiritually speaking, watchmen, intercessors, and gatekeepers each have distinct but interconnected roles within the Kingdom of God. All three are vital to guarding, protecting, and advancing God’s purposes, but they serve in different capacities.

Let’s break down their roles:

Watchmen

A watchman is spiritually positioned to observe, warn, and guide. They carry a prophetic mantle, often seeing and hearing things in the spirit before manifesting in the natural. Their primary role is to remain vigilant, discerning danger or opportunities, and to warn God’s people accordingly.

Key Responsibilities:

·      Observation and Warning: Like a physical watchman, they “stand on the walls” to watch for approaching spiritual danger or blessings.

(Ezekiel 3:17).

·      Prophetic Insight: They often receive divine revelations, dreams, or visions that guide the Church or individuals. (Habakkuk 2:1).

·      Call to Repentance: Many biblical watchmen, like Ezekiel, warned people to turn from sin.

·      Spiritual Protection: They intercede for people but focus more on perceiving and addressing spiritual threats.

Scriptural Example:

·      Isaiah 62:6-7: “I have set watchmen on your walls…They shall never hold their peace day or night.”
