  2. THE LATE-NIGHT WATCH OR SECOND WATCH OF THE NIGHT —  (9:00 PM – 12 Midnight) TIME TO HALLOW AND EXALT THE NAME OF THE LORD. TIME OF PRAYER FOR MINISTRIES AND CHURCH   This watch is a special time for divine favor.  (Exo. 3:21-22, 11:3-4; 12:35-36, Psalm 5:12; 45:12, Esther 2:9, 15:17). This is the time to receive your position or supply (strength, abilities, freedom from all limitations, etc.). This is also the time for plundering your oppressors. A time for favor from men. A time for respect from men. If you read Exo.   3:21-22; 11:3-4; 12:35-36 ,  you will see that God made the Egyptians favorably disposed towards the Israelites so that the Egyptians gave them whatever they asked for. This must have been before midnight since by then the angel of death passed through Egypt and no one could go on to the neighbors. It also had to be after supper, since it was after the Passover feast. Automatically it had to be during this watch of the night between 9:...

  UNDERSTANDING THE GATES OF TIME AND SEASONS According to the Bible in Ecclesiastes 3:1; God has ordained seasons and whatever He does He does it in accordance with the gates of time and seasons. The creator of the universe does not operate against the laws of nature. He works in cooperation with nature, and He knows when the gates of the universe will open and when they will close. Because gates are controlled by time, time is controlled by seasons and every season comes with a mandate. Besides,  Acts 17:26  says God has set up a time and a season for the rising of every nation, (People, group, tribe, tongue, and individual).   26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Acts 17:26 This means that the most important thing in the life of a believer is to be able to understand the gates of time and the seasons for his or her rising...

First Watch (The Evening Watch from 6:00 P.M. – 9:00 P.M.)   Lam. 2:18-19; Exo. 27:21; Psalm 119:148. TIME FOR DIVINE BEGINNINGS –  Gen. 1:5, 8, 18. THE MANIFESTATION OF THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD. God said in  Matt. 16:16-19  that the thing you must possess is the gates and one of the keys we need to possess the gates is the key to the knowledge of time. Our day has a gate, our week has a gate, our month has a gate, and our year has a gate. We must possess these gates because whoever possesses the gates possesses and controls everything. The very first watch is the gate for the beginning of the new day. During the first watch, pray along these lines: Pray and silence all the voices (curses) of the enemies on your life, family, church, city, and nation. Witches start flying during this watch, going around the precincts of the city  (Psalm 59),  because they intend to take hold of the gates of the day. We must possess the gate of our new day. Otherwise, it wil...
