The Breaking of Day Watch (from 12:00a.m to 3:00a.m)
This is a period of much spiritual activity. This watch hour will strengthen your faith. Matthew 26: 34, 74; Mark 14:30; Luke 22:34; John 13:38
This watch is the darkest and with good reason we have heard it called ‘the witching hour’, especially at midnight. The devil and all his evil operates at this time because this is the time that men are in a deep sleep and there are not as many people praying to oppose him (1 Kings 3:20). This watch calls for seasoned intercessors. If we are awake, we need not be afraid. Whatever situation we may be in, this time is as good as any to meditate in Prayer. It doesn’t matter that we don’t think you may be able to Pray well, this is a time when we are most likely are in our private place and can speak to The Creator, our Father, from our hearts, in love and with truth.
We must not be afraid of witchcraft during this watch. The Creator has given us dominion and authority over all things. This watch is a time when those who already know how to use their spiritual armor and war against the enemy can do so with effect. This is the time to pray against satanic attacks on our life, family members, marriages, fellowships and communities. We are most vulnerable to the devil’s attacks because at this time we are asleep. Declare Psalm 91:5-6 for Divine protection for ourselves and families.
Time to set your day before it begins
This is a powerful watch to be on when commanding the morning and setting things in place before the devil and his demons have a chance to ruin it. Plane crashes, car crashes, deaths, job loss, and many other acts of the devil can be stopped during this watch when intercessors obey the voice of their Creator and saturate this time with powerful, Spirit-led Prayers.
Time for spiritual warfare
This is the time that if you are able to be awake out of sleep, you can confront every storm of destruction and distraction that is robbing you of the annointing and Spiritual and provisions on your life. Also, it is the time to speak peace and calm into every situation of turbulence and confusion.
Time to strengthen yourself spiritually and seek direction
Be vigilant during this time and watch for revelations regarding our breakthroughs and for our Creator’s plans and purposes for our lives and dwelling places.
Time to pray for release from every prison
The Apostle Paul and Silas were released from prison during this time. Acts 16:25 In addition, our Creator released the people of Israel from Egypt at this time. Exodus 12:31 According to Judges 16:3-4, Samson escaped from Gaza at midnight by pulling up the gates of the city and carrying them out with him. We should take this time to exercise faith in our prayers and expect/believe miracles will happen.
Dreams flow during this hour
Often, we are awakened during this time with dreams our Creator has given to us. He uses dreams and visions to bring instruction and counsel to us as we sleep. He also reveals areas where we need to concentrate our prayers and intercession. “In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instructions.” Job 33:15
The devil can also attack us in dreams (nightmares), so we should always pray before we go to sleep and ask our Creator to keep us from the enemy’s devices.
Prayer Decrees for this prayer watch:
- Creator, I call upon You to stand against all demons of the night, nightmares, torment and sleeplessness. My Father, I ask that You protect my mind while I sleep. In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. Psalms 4:8
- Creator, through Your power, I spoil every attack of the enemy. I cancel and forcefully oppose any satanic operations and strategies which are designed to hinder and prevent Your plans and purpose for my life from manifesting.
- Creator, You said in Your Word that whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven; whatever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven. Therefore, through Your power, I bind and break all witchcraft, curses, spells, and powers of darkness working against me and my household. I cancel every attack of oppression, depression, perversion, distraction, hindrance and deception. No evil shall befall me or plague come near my dwelling. No weapon formed against me will prosper, for You order Your angels to protect me wherever I go. They will hold me up in their hands so my foot will not hit against a stone. (Psalm 91: 11-12)
- Creator, You give me the desires and secret petitions of my heart because I delight myself in You Psalm 37:4 I proclaim that You are my provision. I have no lack in my family, my body or my finances. You supply all my needs according to Your glorious riches. Philippians 4:19
