A New Resource for the Global Prayer Movement: The Watchman Warfare Handbook

Introducing a powerful new tool from IPC Leadership Council member Jody Wood

What does it mean to be a watchman in the 21st century? How do we move from reactive prayer to strategic intercession that truly shifts the spiritual atmosphere over our cities and nations? These are the questions that have driven Jody Wood's ministry for more than three decades — and they are at the heart of her newly released Watchman Warfare Handbook.

Jody is an internationally respected prayer leader, ordained minister, and teacher based in New York City, where she serves as Director of New York City Intercessors. A valued member of the IPC Leadership Council, she has been a significant voice in global prayer mobilisation since 2000, working tirelessly to unite intercessors across denominational and cultural boundaries for Kingdom impact. Her passion is equipping believers not just to pray, but to pray with biblical insight, spiritual authority, and strategic clarity.

The Watchman Warfare Handbook is the fruit of that lifelong calling. Subtitled ‘A Comprehensive Guide to Empowering Watchmen Teams’, it is a practical, scripture-rooted training resource that takes intercessors from foundational principles through to fully developed strategy.

Across five sections — Prayer and Intercession, Core Principles, Developing Strategy, Pitfalls, and Activation — Jody unpacks what it means to see, hear, and speak from a third-heaven perspective. Topics include understanding the realms of heaven, building spiritual authority through character and holiness, the Watchman Playbook for prayer-walking territory, the four watches of the night, and how to identify and avoid the enemy's tactical pitfalls.

The handbook is written for individuals and teams alike. Whether you are a seasoned intercessor looking to sharpen your prophetic gift, a prayer team leader seeking to build a more unified and effective watchmen team, or a pastor wanting to equip your congregation with strategic prayer frameworks, this resource will meet you where you are. A built-in Prayer DNA Survey helps readers identify their intercession style and prayer burden, making it immediately personal and applicable.

Jody's own vision, shared throughout these pages, is to see a multi-generational global prayer force raised up across the earth — watchmen who are spiritually alert, strategically engaged, and committed to seeing God's Kingdom come in every sphere of society.
