About this ebook
The hours between 3AM to 6AM is often a time of tremendous spiritual attack for many Christians. It is during the night watches that the enemy wages his greatest assault on the minds of believers, planting seeds of fear, anxiety and doubt while they sleep. This is also the time of night that the most violent crimes are committed, and that the most self -destructive behavior often occurs. In The Fourth Watch: A Watch for Prophets, Warriors, Intercessors, & Lovesick Believers learn why the fourth watch of the morning is also one of the most powerful times to pray.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
If you picked up this book than you’re probably already a believer, so I don’t need to convince you of the reality of Christ. What I do want to do, is to convince you of your need to participate in corporate prayer. And by corporate prayer I don’t mean praying with folks at your job although that would certainly qualify, I mean joining together with a group of believers for the sole purpose of talking to God.
It is called corporate prayer for two reasons: number one, because it is done in community, and number two, because when the people of God gather together and pray they make legal transactions with Heaven. They conduct the type of business in the heavenly realms that have lifelong implications right here on Earth. Do you realized that every Spirit-filled prayer you ever prayed will remain in the Earth long after you depart this planet for eternity? I want to convince you to do business with God. Furthermore, I want to convince you to do it during a time that most people have literally called the most ungodly hour of the day. The time slot between the hours of 3-6 AM. A time known to intercessors all over the world as the 4th Watch of the morning. A time also known to those who practice occultism as, the witching hour. At the writing of this, myself and a group of intercessors, have been praying at the 4th Watch for the past eleven years. It has tremendously blessed our lives.
For the first four years or so after we were married, my husband and I traveled to and from Milwaukee every Sunday morning to attend Sunday morning service at the church where I grew up. I was ordained in that house, we were married in that house, and I knew that the meat of the Word was being taught there. So, every Sunday morning we would rise at 5AM to be there in time for 7AM service. When our first-born son was born in 2003, the Lord spoke to my husband and said, It’s time for you and your family to set down roots in the city where I have planted you.
We visited some local ministries until we came to the place where we are currently members now. The Lord spoke to my husband again and said, This is the house I’ve called you to join.
We arrived during a pivotal time in the ministry. They were in transition, it was during a time of growth and expansion. The ministry wanted to build. Shortly after we arrived, I was asked to lead the prayer ministry at the church. It was during this season that the Lord began to speak to my heart concerning what He wanted to accomplish in that house. You may hear me use that term house
as you read in place of the traditional word, church. I do so because Jesus is coming back for one body of believers. One unified Church. There are many houses of God all over the world but together we make up one Church. One morning, as I was preparing for Sunday morning service the Lord began to speak to my heart. He said very simply, This building plan is from me.
Let me back up for a moment and say that when we arrived at the ministry and heard that they wanted to build, I thought nothing of it. Just about every church in America has a building fund. I had never heard of a church who didn’t want to expand. The ministry I grew up in has been raising money for the building fund for the last thirty years. As
