2ND WATCH (9PM

2ND WATCH (9PM - 12MN)

- October 24, 2022

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 9:00 pm and 12:00 midnight. In Acts 23:23 we see Paul enjoying favor from the captain of the soldiers during this same period.
Pray for the outpouring of the spirit of prayer upon you and the church in the Philippines. (Zech. 9:12).
Pray also for the spirit of grace and supplication. It is the time to pray for the release or outpouring of the spirit of grace, prayer, and supplication (Matt. 26:33). Recall that on the day Jesus was betrayed, He started praying for God’s grace at 9:00 pm. At 10:00 pm, He came back to His disciples and said, “Could you not watch with me one hour?” At 11:00 pm, He came a second time and said, “Are you still sleeping?” He left them and went back. Then the third time that was 12midnight, He said, “Rise, and let us go for my betrayer is at hand.” This period is the time to pray for strength against all temptations and trials.
Pray for divine protection. (Psalm 3:1-7; 17:8-14, Acts 23:23; Zech. 1:10).
This is also the period to pray and ask for the release of the troops of God to be on patrol and give angelic escort (Zech. 1:10, Acts 9:23). Acts 23:23, the same army general that had arrested Paul, now ended up protecting Paul! As you pray today, God would cause the people who have arrested us before to protect His purpose for our lives. What the governor could not enjoy was given to Paul as he was given 470 soldiers as escorts. So, every provision we need that will enable us to do God’s work would be released at this time. That is why even in Hollywood this is the time they show all the bad films to make provision for you being affected in the next watch.
Pray for provision to do God’s work (Exo. 11:3-4).
This is a time for the supply of all the resources needed for all God-given projects – see Exo. 35 & 36 compared to 12:35,36. Pray for provision.
It was the time that the Israelites got everything that they had to use to build the tabernacle in the wilderness.
This is also the time to ask for the sense of urgency to accomplish whatever God wants us to do. The Israelites ate the Passover standing with their tunics tucked with belts around their waists ready to move. Time of divine and human favor!

***No one knows what day or hour is the Rapture, but God has His own timeline. And we are almost at the borderline, a transition, a shift between now and the coming 7yr tribulation period. While the world is being set up for the coming of the Antichrist, God is preparing the Bride of Christ to be taken away at the Rapture. Don't be left behind!!!

The Importance of Watching

“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
