The Watches of the Night

• The First Watch is the Evening Watch and is from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM. It is a time to regroup and still ourselves from the world. It is a time to quiet our hearts and meditate. Genesis 24:63 says, "Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening. He lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming." Isaac saw his future. Ask the Lord to visit you with visions of your future.
• The Second Watch is the Midnight Watch from 9:00 PM - Midnight. This is a key time in this current initiative because Chuck states, This is a time that God is dealing with our enemies that are trying to keep us from entering into His perfect plan for our lives." He reminds us it was at midnight that the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt. (Ex 11:4; 12:29) Psalms 119:62 says, "At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments." This is a good time to call out for the righteous judgments of the Lord, giving thanks and receiving visitation. This is the time to release decrees, cutting off your enemies.
• The Third Watch is the Breaking of a Day (Cockcrowing) Watch - Midnight - 3 AM. During this watch there is much spiritual activity occurring. This is a time when the Lord would give you dreams. This is a watch that can give you authority over a covenant breaking spirit as well as doubt and unbelief and the direction of your path.
• The Fourth Watch is the Morning Watch - A New Day Dawning from 3:00 AM - 6:00 AM. This watch is linked with the approaching of the morning light and the breaking of the day. The fourth watch is the last portion of the night in which the Lord can prepare you for the day ahead. This is the time to make decrees and to speak into your life, your family and your future. Decree into your work place, your profession, your Church and your Territory.
