IN YOUR MIDNIGHT HOUR WHEN EVIL IS ALL AROUND WHAT DO YOU DO? DO YOU SIT, WHINE, AND COMPLAIN OR DO YOU CALL ON THE GOOD LORD TO HELP YOU THROUGH?
The Midnight hour is between 12:00am – 3:00am (known to be the most spiritually active period of the day) as far as time of day is concern. But as far as your life is concern it is the seasons in your life when you give your life to Christ and when you begin experiencing all sorts of negative, evil, and ungodly advances, from the evil one, to distract you from God. It is at this time, in your life, that dreams, revelations, attacks, and visitations from the spirit world (both by angels and demonic powers) often come especially when you are sleeping in the Word of God and not aware of what is going on. This is the time when a firm grip of the Master’s hand is vital to your outcome; not letting go no matter what. Because He is the only One who can help you into the Light of day. (Isaiah 41:13 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee). (Romans 8:38-39 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord).
What do you do at your midnight hour? When evil is attacking you from every side – spiritually, mentally, and physically. You want to pray but can’t seem to find the words to say. You want to love, have compassion, give generously, and acknowledge others in their plight but there is this hold on you, that won’t let you go. You are torn between continuing to believe in the glorious and wonderful workings and promises of God, the Father, through God, Jesus, the Son and giving up to make it feel easier to the flesh (it maybe for a while but eventually you will sink down into the lowest pit of hell because the devil has you and do not need to work on you anymore). All attempts, to do the righteous thing, when you are in your midnight hour, seems to be for naught so what do you do? You follow Jesus! (John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life).
Well, you look up, pray, praise, and center all your hope, trust, belief, and focus on the Master, Jesus Christ. Because He is the only one to bring us through the dark patches in our life. When we look through the eyes of Jesus our Christ and know that God, the Father, is the one and only God, then we will see that we are already standing in the middle of our answer, we only need to activate our faith. Take time to examine your situation. Stop and think about who or what you have been entertaining. When you think of what is trying to bring you to ruin (whether physically or spiritually), with the help of the Good Lord you will get a perspective of what you should do. Think on this truth. First, we must believe, hope, and trust in God, in Jesus’ name, removing all ungodly thoughts and replacing with good and godly ones (this won’t be easy but with the Lord’s help, most definitely can be done). We must then charge our own selves to be rooted in our commitment and conviction to walk in faith, braving all the dark hours, which come before the Light; knowing that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour. His Light and through Him we can and will do all things necessary for our physical, mental, and spiritual growth. (Isaiah 60:1 60 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you).
A man or the evil one is limited to what they can do to you. Only when you relinquish your power over to them, are they capable of manipulating and causing harm to you. Until then they are powerless against you. But through the Son, who is the Word, that shines so bright in the darkness, we see what is meant for us to bring us through our midnight hours. And when we are in these hours, our moans and groans become our words, interpreted to God, in Jesus’ name. So, fix your eyes on the One who truly loves and care for you no matter what you are going through. Give Him your mind, ears, heart, and soul and He will strengthen guide, and keep you in the Light of His Love, through all your trials, tests, troubles, and tribulations; your midnight hours.
So, to maintain your righteousness, in your midnight hours, become a selfish child of God and look to Him for the relief and release you need; stay in His will. And you will always see the revelations of His Son, our Lord and Saviour’s ability to dissolve the darkness and make the condition bright. Praise Him no matter what so that He will enter your seasons of darkness, break the chains that want to bind you, and set you free. Pray and ask the Lord, God to steady your heart, mind, and soul: to rock you in His cradle of love all day long. And remember this, that when everyone else is sleeping (at the midnight hour) God is wide awake, He never sleeps, you can rest assured that you can count on Him. So, stop having a meltdown and know that God, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit got you. (Psalm 121:2-4 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep).
Acts 16:25-26 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Psalms 119:62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
Amen.
