Greetings; I hope you are all enjoying your week.
I just wanted to encourage someone going through difficult times and tell you that you can amplify your prayer life in this area.
Midnight prayers coupled with fasting are essential to unblock the iron doors standing in your way. I personally am a huge fan of midnight prayers. I have seen doors unlock right before my eyes because of fervent midnight prayers.
Midnight is a special hour which opens a door to a new day. Midnight hour is between 00.00 and 0300 am; hence the prayers done during this time are very powerful. Whether you are in the midst of a fight for something or everything is going well in your life you can set aside some time every week to do midnight cries. Soldiers are trained during peacetime and not wartime so thereforewe must learn to pray even when we are not in warfare…always…Matthew 11vs 12…. The violent taketh it by force.
Everything you lack in the physical means that there is a strongman binding it in the spiritual and it is your job to release what you need.
Job was busy living his life and we are told the story in Job 1vs 6…this is happening where? This was in the spiritual realm; And he is on earth relaxed going on with his life, meanwhile in the spiritual realm war was coming into his life. Midnight is a good time to pray as humans are sleeping and spirits are active and this is your chance to pray against the devourer.
I love Maths(let’s do some calculations that will open your eyes)
An average person sleeps 8 hours a day multiply that by 365 days a year and you get 2920 hours a year.
An average person will live on earth ( I will use just any amount of years) say for 70 years….so we multiply 2920 hours by 70 and we get 204400 hours….
Now let’s divide this by 24 to see how many days we have. And we get 8516.67 days and then lets divide them by 365
We get 23 years. This means if you live for 70 years you are sleeping for 23 years…interesting….right…?
I just want to challenge you to start praying for 30 minutes every midnight .
The violent taketh it by force.
I have compiled a few verses I picked up where some special things happened during midnight.
Exodus 11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

Acts 27:27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
If you are praying for something that seems like it is never going to change, start this new way of praying pairing it with fasting, asking the Lord to speak to you so that you may know what is standing in the way and ask for his direction for the direction is everything you need to go ahead.
I hope you stay blessed.
