Why should we pray around the midnight hour?
Acts 16 vs 25 -26 says, About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.
The world is full of so many people living in satanic bondage. Many of us and our families are unknowingly struggling with satanic yokes around our necks. There are millions of people walking on the streets with their hands and legs bound in the spirit by a powerful satanic force and they are not even aware of it.
Midnight prayer is the most powerful time to pray for breaking satanic bondage and limitations. No matter the struggles and how difficult the bondage of the enemy over your life, I am here to let you know the enemy cannot resist a praying Christian, specially, at the midnight hours.
The devil knows this very well, and that is the reason why he will do everything to discourage you from getting up during the midnight hours to pray. In Luke 6 vs 12 the bible says Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
Praying during the midnight hours brings many benefits to a believer in Jesus Christ. there is many wickedness that takes place During the hours of 12 am and 3 am in both the kingdom of God and Satan’s army. While you are sleeping the body is naturally weak. This weakness makes you vulnerable to spiritual attacks or manipulation.
In Matthew 13 vs 25 the bible says but while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
The power of midnight prayer will remove all deposits that God did not deposit in you. praying during the midnight hour is so powerful that the Devil and his agents cannot stand it. this is the reason why Paul and Silas prayed at midnight. And because God freed Paul and Silas at midnight when they were praying that is an indication of the power in midnight prayer.
Midnight prayer strengthens our spirit man, since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25).
Midnight prayer strengthens our faith, For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13 NLT)
Midnight prayer gives us have an upper hand in spiritual warfare battle (1 Peter 5:8 says. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Midnight prayer brings supernatural encounters with God through the Holy Spirit and his angels (Joel 2:28). “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
Midnight prayer is a perfect time to hear warnings from God without distractions (Job 33:14-18). For God does speak—now one way, now another—though no one perceives it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride, to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword.
So, my friends I urge you Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
midnight prayer is a battlefield between believers and the devil. These battles are organized by witchcraft powers, marine powers, household powers, strongman, witch doctors etc. Many dangerous things are crawling, moving and flying at the midnight hours. The Bible says, Psalms 91:5 “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day”
Let us pray.
Don't Go to Sleep Without Praying
Psalm 59
Deliver me from my enemies, O God.
be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
2 Deliver me from evildoers
and save me from those who are after my blood.
3 See how they lie in wait for me!
Fierce men conspire against me
for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Arise to help me; look on my plight!
5 You, Lord God Almighty,
you who are the God of Israel,
rouse yourself to punish all the nations.
show no mercy to wicked traitors.
6 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouths—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
and they think, “Who can hear us?”
8 But you laugh at them, Lord;
you scoff at all those nations.
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[d]
or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
