Noach: The Noah Company - Sons of Rest

Noach: The Noah Company - Sons of Rest

Ed Watts · Zion Gate Ministries · Torah Portion Noach (Genesis 6:9–11:32) Building the Resting Places of Yahweh Reading The Story Through The Hebraic Lens The common rendering and interpretation of the story of Noah pictures God as angry and fed up with mankind’s sin, and most read the biblical flood narrative as a historical account of God’s judgment on sinfulness with little emphasis on redemption. As we read the stories in the Torah, let us remember they are far more than historical...

AN IMPARTAION OF LAUGHTER

Contending Altars The Altar of Covenant vs. the Altar of Covens Psalm 2:1, 4 Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel and conspire together, against the LORD and against His Anointed… He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision. Impartation from the court at the throne of the Lord today: it’s laughter! Today I see the Lord laughing hysterically. I believe He is saying: “FEEL...

BREAKING CYCLES OF DEATH

A PROPHETIC WORD FROM THE LORD As we watch with the LORD during these 90 days, I pray for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, an impartation of understanding, and eyes to see which doors need to be slammed shut in your life, your family, and your bloodline. Father, I pray that you would reveal to us where the enemy has gained access into our bloodline and family trees, and where we have come into agreement with iniquitous patterns of sin that have been in our blood for generations. Lord, I...

The Remnant - The Stump Of Apostolic Christianity Awakens

As we move through these ninety days, watch the signs of 111. Today is November 1, 11/1 on the calendar, the historical day the traditional church calls All Saints’ Day, sitting right on the heels of Reformation Day. Yesterday I shared about the Reformation Army rising up to reform and restore the covenant Body of Christ back to the original dominion mandate. ANGELS WITH SILVER SHOVELS · ALL SAINTS’ DAY Today, on 11/1 (November 1) I saw angels with silver shovels come and break the ground. I...

Finish the Reformation, Finishers Come Forth

REFORMATION DAY · OCTOBER 31, 2026 · JEREMIAH GENERATION, DAY 19 OF 90 Jeremiah 1:11 “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see the rod of an almond tree.” Luke 24:44–45 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Today, in Duluth, Minnesota, five hundred...

Altars of the Voice - The Tribe/Rod of His Mouth

Altars of the Voice - The Tribe/Rod of His Mouth

Yesterday I said that every believer carries the same commission I do: to stretch the rod of His Word over whatever geography the Lord assigns, because dominion was never meant to stop with one man standing on a mountain. Today I want to go deeper into what that rod is, where it comes from, and to whom it is given, because the Lord is not raising up a single rod-bearer standing alone on a hill somewhere. He is raising up a tribe, a whole governing company carrying the authority of His mouth....

Altars of the Voice -The Rod of God

Yesterday I shared how the Lord is anointing a generation of shepherds with a rod of authority, and how that word became personal for me in 2007, when a single encounter in Ann Arbor sent me home to Flint with a mandate I never asked for: build an altar of worship and prayer at the south gate of our city and release the Voice of the LORD over that geography, as Moses stretched the rod of God over the valley below. I carried that commission faithfully for fifteen years until the Lord asked me...

DAY16 OF 90 DAYS - ALTARS OF THE ROD OF GOD Jeremiah 1:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see the rod of an almond tree.” THE ANOINTED SHEPHERD’S ROD FOR THE FAITHFUL SHEPHERDS I’ve been in full-time pastoral ministry for almost 30 years, and I hope I have some understanding of how church ministry works in our nation. My heart goes out to the faithful shepherds who watch over their flocks, just as the shepherds of Jesus’ day did....

DAY 15 OF 90 WATCHING WITH THE LORD The Place of His Manifested Presence Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is in the secret place; your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Yesterday I shared about the power of the Eternal Altar (the Cross) and my testimony of the miraculous divine exchange that I received on 12/12/1990. I was baptized in the fiery love of God and instantly delivered from tormenting demons. For almost a...

The Eternal Altar

The Place of Divine Exchange 1 Kings 18:38–39 Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, “The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!” THE THRESHOLD OF DEATH I was twenty-four, and my life was in a dark spiritual place. I was literally self-destructing through demonically inspired choices. Without realizing...

Reclaiming the Dominion Mandate

DAY 13 OF 90 DAYS WATCHING WITH THE LORD - JEREMIAH 1:11 GENERATION God's Unchanging Intent for Heavenly Governance on the Earth The modern church has lost its focus by adopting an evacuation mentality, prioritizing getting people to heaven over training them to rule the earth. This misconception directly contradicts Scripture. God did not design mankind to steward the heavenly realm; He created us to govern the physical earth from a place of Holy Communion in the Garden. This original...

DAY 12 OF 90 DAYS Not One Man — But a Corporate Body Revelation 5:9–10 · Psalm 149:1, 6–9 · Jeremiah 23:29 · 2 Corinthians 4:3–4 Yesterday we stood at the door with the lukewarm church, heard Him knocking, and saw that He comes to that threshold with bread and wine, asking to come in and take full possession of a people He already purchased. If that church opens the door, if a people renew their covenant vows and become His habitation, the question standing before us now is what that body...

DAY 11 of 90 Days Watching With The LORD The Corporate Sword, Part Two The Open Door and the Threshold Covenant Scriptures: Revelation 3:17–22; Revelation 4:1; Genesis 14:18; Joshua 5:2–10 Yesterday we saw how the LORD summoned Israel's seventy elders to ascend the mountain, where they stood on a sapphire pavement and ate a meal with God. That meal is unfamiliar to us, but it was common in that culture and era. Two parties ate a meal to confirm and seal a covenant, and you see the same...

The Corporate Sword The Altar Above and the Altar Below

Day 10 of 90 Days Part #1 of 2 Parts on the Corporate Sword Scriptures: Revelation 19:15; Genesis 1:6–7; Daniel 7:9–10; Exodus 24:9–11; Hebrews 8:6; Revelation 8:1–5 I firmly believe a new formation is taking place. The Lord is raising up an authoritative prayer movement, and it will not be the work of one or two anointed people. It will be a corporate covenant body, and I call it the Lord's corporate sword. I call it a sword because that is how John saw Him when the heavens opened and the...

Let Go and Let The LORD Wash Away The Past Season Gateway Hope Center · Sunday 15 October 2017 · edited from the recording of Pastor Ed Watts speaking, prophesying, and singing the prophecy through a prophetic song. The LORD has me in a season of review, and I've been looking back at some of my archived prophetic words from ten years ago. I opened a large 3-ring binder, and this is the first one I came to. I really felt his is a word for right now. We're currently in a very strategic season,...

Tisha B’Av To Tu B’Av: The End Of A Desert Generation

Black Sabbath Has Passed It’s Time for the Saints to Possess The Kingdom Daniel 7:21 As I watched, the horn was waging war against the saints (qedoshim) and defeating them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom. I’m writing this today because the LORD wouldn’t let me pass by this prophetic appointed time without proclaiming the truth of the day called Tisha B’ Av (the 9th of...

Passover 5785 - Will You Watch With Me?

The Decade of PEY As I prepared for a long road trip of ministry during the fall biblical holidays (Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur), I heard the Lord say Go back to 5780 and look at the Prophetic Words for the decade of PEY #80 (5780-5789). The Hebrew letter PEY, in its original pictogram form, is a picture of a MOUTH. What most Christians don’t realize is that the Hebrew alphabet is numerically based. Each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet carries a numerical value attached to it....

“Behold The Place Where I Am Seated - The Mercy Seat”

“I Want You To Enter Into 2025 By Sowing Into Mercy!” Last month, while seeking the LORD concerning 2025, I heard multiple things, but the most impactful statement was, “I want you to enter into 2025 by sowing into Mercy!” I want you to sow financially, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually into MERCY! Mercy is the foundation of the movement that will release the Government of My Kingdom, My Governmental Glory.” That statement from the LORD brought me immediately back to an encounter I...
