International! It has been a while since weve reached out via newsletter. Its good to be in touch with you again to let you know that we are going strong and in our twenty-fifth year! So many of you have been friends of this ministry since we first began, so we want to say thank you for being our friend and as we continue, we want to share our vision for the future. As we go forward, we are focusing more and more on prayer and forecasting events that will keep the body of Christ strong. In keeping with that, we are focusing on the return of the prodigal to the house of God for the year 2011 and beyond. (see pg. 2 for prophecy and prayer). At the start of this year, God impressed upon me the fact that He is calling prodigals home to Himself. God has such a love for us all, and He desires that His children be close to Him. We have focused on praying for prodigals since the beginning of this year, and we have seen God move. It has been so encouraging for us to see this return of the lost sheep into the fold. This is an excellent time to extend your faith for household salvation. Fast and pray for those who have left the safety of the house of the Lord. Begin to believe God to reunite His family as never before. Expect the unexpected. Beleive the unbelieveable. God is with you! With love and prayers, Prophestess Barbara Williams, President and Founder Ministry of the Watchman International GOD WANTS YOU WELL!

He sent His Word, and healed them, & delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20 I was diagnosed with a detached retina back in October, which caused a loss of vision in my right eye. I underwent emergency surgery and was told my vision should improve within 30 days. However, it did not get better. I have followed the Watchman Ministry since 2001 and knew that healings occurred in the meetings. Therefore, I went and Pastor Barb prayed for me and I noticed that my vision improved. Today I came back for prayer again and was prayed for by Pastor Shirley and I immediately noticed that my vision was restored! Gwen Zachary, Cleveland, OH For 4 years I have experienced severe swelling and pain in both legs. The doctors diagnosed me with lymphedema. I had to walk on a cane intermittently for several years. I had even been hospitalized for the condition. I was invited to the Cleveland Healing School as a guest of Pastor Barbs. After the preaching I went to the altar for prayer believing God for healing my legs. Two days after the meeting I went to the doctor and he wrapped my legs. I was still trusting Jesus, the Healer. On the Thursday following the healing school, I went back to the doctor. The doctor saw that the swelling was gone and asked, How did this happen? since she knew she had done nothing. I immediately shouted Jesus did it. I am now able to walk without the cane, run and jump without pain. Praise Jesus! Gail McGhee, Inkster, MI I have suffered from migraine headaches for several years. Before the Gathering of Eagles Conference, I experienced a severe migraine headache. I had to wear dark glasses due to the increased pain from the light. Nothing would stop the pain. I had experienced the pain for 2 consecutive days on the day of the Healing School. After hearing the Word, I went to the altar for prayer. I received immediate relief from the pain. I was then able to take off the dark glasses with no pain. Since that time, I have confessed the Word three times per day as instructed by Pastor Barb. I have not had a full-blown migraine since that time. My mother, for all of her adult life, was addicted to alcohol. She had tried to stop several times in the past without success. I had received deliverance through prayer at the Ministry of the Watchman. She came to the Ministry of the Watchman to receive prayer. Pastor Shirley prayed and laid hands on her. After prayer, she lost the desire for alcohol. She has not had a drink in nearly 2 years. Her life is completely transformed. My father even said, I dont know who she is anymore. He loves our change. It is so good to be FREE! Malorie DiEgidio, Twinsburg, OH I was i n an automobi l e acci dent i n 2002 and suffered a severe back injury with vertebral damage. This was the source of great pain for me. I was in pain during the Detroit Healing School and went to the altar for prayer. After prayer, the minister asked me to do what I could not do before. I started to bend to touch my toes, which I could not do before. As I started to bend I still felt the pain but I followed the instruction of the minister and kept bending down. As I continued to bend, all the pain in my back left. I have no pain!! Donna Singh, Fayetteville, NC I came to the Cleveland Healing School after being invited by another person. After going up for prayer, I noticed strengthening and less pain in both my legs. I could walk better and without assistance. I had been diagnosed with arthritis.

T AKEN FROM THE P ROPHECI ES P AGE AT MI NI STRYOFTHEWATCHMAN . COM Scriptures to Pray for Prodigals Job 33:14-30 For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction. In order to turn man from his deed, And conceal pride from man, He keeps back his soul from the Pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, And with strong pain in many of his bones, So that his life abhors bread, And his soul succulent food. His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones stick out which once were not seen. Yes, his soul draws near the Pit, And his life to the executioners. If there is a messenger for him, A mediator, one among a thousand, To show man His uprightness, Then He is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit; I have found a ransom; His flesh shall be young like a childs, He shall return to the days of his youth. He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him, He shall see His face with joy, For He restores to man His righteousness. Then he looks at men and says, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, And it did not profit me. He will redeem his soul from going down to the Pit, And his life shall see the light. Behold, God works all these things, Twice, in fact, three times with a man, To bring back his soul from the Pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of life. Hosea 2:6-7 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, And wall her in, So that she cannot find her paths. She will chase her lovers, But not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, I will go and return to my first husband, For then it was better for me than now. Luke 15:17-21 But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my fathers hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants. And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. Pray for the Return of the Prodigal Pray for the Return of the Prodigal Prophecy Given Through Barbara Williams, December 26, 2010 The Lord i s s ayi ng t hat , My heart i s wi t h t he prodigal. My heart goes out I weep for the ones who are missing. I weep for the lost. I leave the 90 and 9 and go after the 1 lost one. My heart is always toward the lost, says the Spirit of God. And many people are lost and arent aware of it; Sometimes it comes upon them unawares. The enemy sets snares for people. Hes able to trap them in snares. And it takes prayer and it takes believing and it takes love and it takes encouragement and it takes all the forces of My kingdom to retrieve the ones who go astray; to retrieve the lost ones. There are people who have been deceived into thinking that I am merely religion that if they go through the motions, then that is the same thing as having relationship with the Father. And this is what I desire from everybody: relationship with Me. There is nothing that is a substitute for relationship with Me, says the Lord. Where you call Me Father, and I call you Son. Where you call Me when you have needs, and I tell you and instruct you how to get those needs met. And you live your life in a comfort and a dignity that comes through knowing Me, says the Spirit of God. And I ordained that men would know Me first, and put Me first in all things and never stray from that. NEVER stray from that. But when straying happens, My heart is toward that lost one. My heart is toward them, and I go after them, and I send people after them, says the Spirit of God. I send them in the realm of prayer, and I send them in the realm of My Word, and My prophecy, and My vision that I have over that soul, says the Spirit of God. I send them with a vision to see that soul come back into the security and the safety of the Fathers house. For it is not My will that anybody perish; you can always pray for salvation for any soul, says the Lord. And I consider all souls worth saving, says the Spirit of God. But know that there are snares laid by the enemy, and you who continue with Me are wise in that you didnt fall into that snare, but there are many snares, says the Lord. Always humble yourself. Consider yourself blessed. Never take credit for the fact that youve continued with Me, but understand that as a good shepherd I have led you and as a humble sheep you have obeyed My voice. So, Take heart! says the Spirit of God. For I am calling many many many back unto me this year, as I do every year, but especially this year, says the Spirit of God. For this year, 2011, is starting a new decade a new 10-year period where there is ample grace to see salvation, ample grace to forgive, ample grace to have repentance in your heart, and ample grace to feel my great love even for those who are lost for whatever reason; those who are astray for whatever reason. So believe Me, says the Lord. Believe Me that I want them back unto Me. I want them in the Fathers house, and as they dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, then I can bless them with the blessings that they so abundantly need, that their hearts long for, says the Spirit of the Living God. Let them come back. Let them embrace Me. Let them lock in to My Spirit, and let them be able to abide with Me and learn from Me, says the Spirit of the Living God. And the empty seats will be filled by those who really love and want to serve Me, says the Lord. Help them to lock in. Be the witness that I know you can be. Live for Me, and live as a good example before men, and surely they will stay and they will grow, and they will flourish just as you do, says the Spirit of the Living God. M ORE P ROPHECI ES AND T ESTI MONI ES ONLI NE AT WWW . MI NI STRYOFTHEWATCHMAN . COM Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Luke 18:1 We continue to pray for our nation during this time of war. There are still troops fighting, there is still a threat of terror, and there are still those enemies who must be apprehended. (Although not as many as when we began! Praise the Lord!) Although we rejoice in the victories, it is vital that we pray without ceasing. We continue to pray for Gods intervention and protection for our rulers, leaders, and protective services. PL EASE J OI N US I N PRAYI NG PSALM 91 FOR OUR TROOPS He who dwells in the secret place of the Most Hi gh shal l abi de under t he shadow of t he Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust. Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.

Pray for Our Troops... T AKEN FROM THE P RAYER P AGE AT MI NI STRYOFTHEWATCHMAN . COM . MONDAY Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12 The Apostle Paul is writing to Timothy, often described by him as My son in the ministry. This implies a that Paul has a relationship to Timothy, not only to a Christian brother, but also to someone in whom he has made an investment of teaching, friendship and fathering. So this command to fight the good fight of faith is one that is given to insure Timothys success by some one who cares about him personally. When we care for someone at this level, we want to give them our best counsel. This is important information. If Paul gave this admonition to Timothy, then we should take heed to these words and obey this command. What is the good fight of faith? Why is it necessary for us as Christians to fight? What or whom are we fighting? Is this a winnable war? Terms like fight and war are not popular in this day. We are living in the aftermath of the Peace Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. In order to accept this command to fight the good fight of faith, we have to challenge our normal mode of thinking, and realize that there is something that we must fight. Since Gods word is timeless and ageless, His commands are to be followed no matter what age it is. So let us examine what the good fight of faith is all about and what it is we are fighting.
