Worship at the River Watchmen at the River


Newsletter of Pacific Ministries’ monthly meetings

at Glenn Otto Community Park, Troutdale, Oregon.


Scribe – Freda Emmons January, 2008


We are seekers, Lord.

It is more important to be with you, Lord,

than to hear from You.

We are hungry for you, Lord.

Thank you for leading us to a full knowledge of Jesus.



7 years of Worship at the River, although at first in another location.

This year is one of transition; we are entrusting our steps to the Lord God.

This year is the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end.



8 signifies a new beginning; 2008 is a year for separating ourselves for a holy purpose.



We seek Your Presence in every endeavor.

Unless you are with us, Lord, we do not really want to do it.

Humbled by Your Word and Your Majesty,

we seek Your Glory!



“Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.’ ”

Joshua 3:5



We followed the prophetic act of Joshua, as he led God’s chosen people around the city of Jericho; in silence they marched 7 times and then at the sound of the trumpet, proclaimed victory in God. We marched in silent prayer, and watched in awe the walls that came down as we shouted our victory in Christ Jesus, or Lord and Savior. (Personal walls the Spirit spoke to my heart were walls of sorrow, of loss and of poverty – all busted in the power of His might.) Victory is ours in Christ, for the taking of territory, just as it was for Joshua and the people of God.



Each one of us carries an anointing of the Lord, for His work in us and through us.

Change / Transition - in our government, the election process.

- in this place

- in families



We acknowledge Your Presence as we experience change.

We receive the wind of the Holy Spirit

And trust in your Power to move from the west, even here in the Northwest

To pave the way and develop the platform for Your purpose.

We are a part of the Remnant and the Army of this region.

We are transitioning to be Watchmen at the River.


Our Lord is providing Restoration of the Land, to the purposes He has ordained.

From the civic governing body to the will of His Spirit, we commend this land to Him.

This place at the River is sacred land; we honor it.

We join in unity of the Holy Spirit, in peace, gentleness, humbleness, and in the truth of Him who is our Creator – to be

The Watchmen at the River.


We hold the authority of God over this place;

we have prayed over its gates and anointed them with oil.

In the realm of spiritual authority, we have renamed this place to be

The Land of My Spirit.


Prophetic Words over this re-dedicated and consecrated Land of My Spirit and the work of God through His people here:


1. “Praise be to the Name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are His. He changes time and seasons; He sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.” Daniel 2:20-22


2. The Tent of Meeting, the season and appointed time


3. A Place called Beautiful - the right time

- the right place


4. Bring your children here - a place to bless children


5. “Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring - those who obey God’s commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.” Revelation 12:17


6. Now has come the authority of Christ!


7. “Then the Lord said to Joshua, ‘Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.’ ” Joshua 5:9


8. Whatever our need, God has removed the attacks from Satan and wants to provide generous blessings.


9. God will renew His Spirit in those who are His. Spiritual and physical digestions are similar. The prophetic must be digested. It is refreshing to our spirit.


10. We are a company. God will accompany each of us, releasing funds for all of us.
