Top Highlights

“Third, what else could there have been before the Fall to guard, keep or protect themselves from in the garden? Only the serpent.²¹ The first responsibility of watchmen is to keep the serpent out of their God-given gardens.” (Page 21)

“Let’s understand the ways of God and not credit Him for the results of our actions and Satan’s. Let the responsibility fall where it should fall.” (Page 18)

“As watchmen we do not live in fear of our adversary, nor do we live in ignorance of him. Contrary to what some would teach, alertness and vigilance are not synonymous with preoccupation. I must warn you, it is a common tactic of the enemy to dissuade Christians from watching for him by accusing them of a wrong emphasis.” (Page 32)

“Don’t try to copy these principles as formulas. The key to success is listening to the Holy Spirit give insight on how to accurately implement them in our regions.” (Page 84)

“It isn’t that God so rarely speaks. I believe we’re not hearing Him because we listen so infrequently and have not trained ourselves to hear His voice.” (Page 45)
