The Power of Persistent Midnights Prayers

 

The Power of Persistent Midnights Prayers

Luke 11:5-8

And He said to them, “which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and he will answer from within and say, ‘do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’?

I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

Jesus is using a parable here to show us one of the most powerful spiritual secrets in the entire Bible.

Remember, He was speaking about prayer here. He’d just taught His disciples what is popularly known as, “The Lord’s Prayer.” Then He quickly followed up with this parable.

What He is saying, in plain English is this:

If you learn to ask for things (pray) at the midnight hour, and persist in this, you will receive answers from God as many times as you want!

This is the time that you can open the back door to heaven… using this golden key. It is the time power changes hands. It is the time to restore lost glory. It is the time to return evil arrows back to senders. It is the time to break chains, and set captives free. It is the time for victorious prayer. And you can do it every single night.

Shalom!
