The finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross is a reality that was accomplished in the realm of the spirit but to appropriate such blessings, the believer must observe some protocols in the earth realm. To say there’s no need to make them manifest because Jesus has done it for us already is incorrect. Do we fall sick? If yes, why do we since “by His stripes we were healed”. Are some Christians poor? If yes, why is it so? But hear this the Bible says “ he became poor so we can become rich”. Is the Bible a book of falsehood? In the same vein, when we talk about spiritual warfare, we are not saying we are going to fight from the standpoint of defeat but rather from the standpoint of victory because we are already victorious and “are more than conquerors.
The Arsenal that we rely on in times of battles are not physical but spiritual and there are a myriad of them. One of them is prayer for Jesus said “ men always ought to pray and not faint”. Prayer is part of our Christian walk. It’s not a gift but a disciple. One important tip you cannot overemphasize with regard to spiritual warfare is the time frame you attach to your prayers.
It’s advisable to pray at any of the following times because they are biblical and command so much results ( 3 am, 3pm, 6 am, 6pm, 9am, 9pm, 12 noon and 12 midnight). In fact, these time frames are theologically called prayer watches. These are strategic times to pray because they are portals. You may choose any of the times and make it your prayer time or all depending on your schedules.
Does it mean we can’t choose any other time other than the ones we have listed above? We can and it’s good but it’ll be better you stick to the one(s) we are discussing here.
It was at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to Elohim – Acts 16: 25 -26 ( About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened). Sorcerers and enchanters wake up at midnight to do evil things whilst Christians are asleep and are debating as to whether it’s a must for us to pray at such a time or not. Where did these agents of darkness learn the mystery of communicating with evil spirits at night? Of course from our kingdom but we don’t fraternize with demons but with the Spirit of the Almighty God and his angels. However, agents of darkness perverted this mystery by invoking demons and it works for them.
When praying such prayers you must also live to please the Lord at all times because there will surely be reactions from the devil so if you “break the hedge the serpent will bite you”, the Bible says. I mean don’t give the devil a place in your life through disobedience otherwise he will make your spiritual exercise ineffective.
Time and space wouldn’t permit me to pick each time and prove their biblical origins to you but let’s hear about Cornelius at least before I stop writing.
One day at about three in the afternoon Cornelius had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!” – Acts 10:3. The Bible earlier said this man was a devout man and regularly prayed and gave alms to the poor and needy and as result he had a divine or angelic encounter. Praise God! Could the visit of an angel from God put an end to that barrenness issue in your life? You may have tried everything to no avail. Why not pick one of the strategic time frames and regularly pray at that time to activate angelic presence that will put an end to that reproach in your life?
Let your altar speak on your behalf. Activate it by consistently servicing it through prayer and commitment. There is no way you will be the same when you encounter an angel. That story will change in the name of Jesus. You will know who you are because the angel assigned to your altar will not only mention your name like he did in Cornelius case but tell you what to really do to come out of that debt.
How many times a day did the apostles pray? It is believed that they did focused reading and studying the Bible for 4 years. They prayed 3 times everyday at strategic times. Once at the 3rd hour of sunlight, roughly 9 am, the 6th hour of sunlight, that is midday, and the 9th hour of sunlight, roughly 3 pm, or 15:00 if you use a 24 hour clock etc….
These men were invincible because they were spiritual and full of light. You can become like them if you want to. Cancel that marital delay, satanic covenants etc by giving yourself to prayer and let’s see whether you will be the same again. I dare you, you can’t and wouldn’t be the same again.
Business man, your time could be every 3 am, man of God, yours could be every midnight, lawyers, could yours be every 6 am as you drive your car and pray? Use every opportunity to develop that prayer altar to flash out that diabetes from your system. It’s not only “possible with God” but also possible “to him or her that believes “says the Scriptures. Sister, believe in yourself and most importantly in God and use say every 7 pm after work to prophetically and corrosively and consistently deal with that fibroid that is disturbing you. I see it dematerialize in the name of Jesus as you mount divine pressure on it with healing based scriptures at least for one hour during prayer at a given time. That blood pressure will go down. Blood pressure is like any other disease or sickness that has ears so if by faith, you say “ blood pressure in the name of Jesus, be normalized “ everyday it’ll obey you for “ Psalms 18:44-45 King James Version says
“As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: The strangers ( cancer, terminal diseases, demons) shall submit themselves unto me. The strangers shall fade away, And be afraid out of their close places. I declare and decree, every stranger in your life obey you now in the name of Jesus!
Trust me, evil spirits and even men will see the difference after you have received answers from above. Angelic presence and manifestation will surely become your daily occurrence and you will also become an extension of God’s winning team.
Stay blessed
