Psalms 119:62
“At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.”
During one of the hardest seasons of my life the Lord revealed to me the hidden treasure of rising to pray and praise our Father in the midnight hour.
To jumpstart our day afresh, connected with the Source of Life, Jesus the Christ. To arm ourselves with worship, the Word, and the Full Armor of God!
It is sound and biblical wisdom to pray and praise at Midnight.
Paul and Silas delivered themselves and the rest of the prisoners with them when they praised God at midnight! Through worshipping at midnight they were able to save a soldier from killing himself. They even went on to save the soldier's entire household and baptize them in Jesus name! (Acts 16:25-34)
There is just a principle that's available in the midnight hour. Samson even after committing sin with a harlot, was able to intercept the plans of the enemy at midnight! The Gazites laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city. They said that in the morning when it was day they would kill him. Samson waited and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, the post, bar and all! You see while the enemy sleeps you can awake and dismantle their plans. (Judges 16:2-3)
The turning of events occur at midnight! The bible says though weeping may endure for the night, JOY comes in the morning! (Pslams 30:5)
It is imperative that we watch and be vigilant. Much like the five wise virgins, who had their lamps trimmed with oil, ready and available to answer the call of the Lord! The bible says, "at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him." What if they were asleep and didn't hear the call, even if they did have oil? Lord please in JESUS name, allow your children to always hear and meet you with our lamps trimmed with oil. Wide awake and not in stupor or slumber in JESUS Holy name! (Matthew 25:6)
