THe night has been established by covenant:

Jeremiah 33:20
Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

GREAT BREAKTHROUGHS CAN OCCUR WHEN WE PRAISE AND PRAY AT NIGHT. MIDNIGHT is a time when God does supernatural things:

Psalm 119:62: “At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.”

Acts 16:25: “And at MIDNIGHT Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.” You can provoke God with fearful praises at midnight like David and Paul. It is a time of release from every spiritual prison, when you utilize the mystery of midnight prayers, it would initiate the earthquake of deliverance that would set you free.

Exodus 11:4:“And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About MIDNIGHT will I go out into the midst of Egypt:”

God’s deliverance of Israel began at midnight:

Exodus 12:29: “And it came to pass, that at MIDNIGHT the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.”

Destroy the gate of the enemy at midnight:

Judges 16:3: “And Samson lay till MIDNIGHT, and arose at MIDNIGHT, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.”

Ruth was found by Boaz (bridegroom) at midnight:

Ruth 3:8: “And it came to pass at MIDNIGHT, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.”

Matthew 25:6: “And at MIDNIGHT there was a cry made, Behold, the BRIDEGROOM cometh; go ye out to meet him.”

Midnight is a time to ask:

Luke 11:5: “And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at MIDNIGHT, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;”

Catch the thief at midnight:

1 Kings 3:20: “And she arose at MIDNIGHT, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom”

The midnight talks of darkness; absence of light and presence of blindness. It is for rest and unsuitable for labour. It is favourable to the purposes of wickedness, Wild beast seek they prey at night. Shepherds watch over their sheep at night. The midnight is a period of severe calamities. Darkness has binding powers, it limits activities. It has separating powers. That is when all that is evil and unworthy of light is let loose. (Olukoya)

The enemy does not own the night, the night belongs to God:

Psalm 74:16
The day is thine, the NIGHT also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Jesus prayed at night:

Mark 1:35
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

God can instruct us at night:

Psalm 16:7
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.

God can visit us at night:

Psalm 17:3
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

We can meditate on God at night:

Psalm 63:6
When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the NIGHT watches.

The night is a great time to meditate in the Word:

Psalm 119:148
Mine eyes prevent the NIGHT watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

It is good to desire God in the night:

Isaiah 26:9
With my soul have I desired thee in the NIGHT; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Nehemiah viewed the broken walls of the city at night. We can see tyne desolations at night:

Neh.2:15
Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.

The Lord appeared to Solomon at night:

2 Chronicles 7:12
And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

Nicodemus sought Jesus at night:

John 7:50
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

Angels of deliverance can come at night:

Acts 5:19
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

Acts 27:23
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

DESTROYING THE WORKS OF DARKNESS

For the king of Syria to arrest Elisha in 2 Kings 6:13-14, he came in the night. For the kingdom of darkness, night time is conference time. It is when the enemies meet to deliver their reports, re-strategize and take decisions concerning the fate of many-including Christians. It is also when they renew covenants, curses and sacrifices. It is the time they supervise the burdens, punishment and yokes already placed on their victims.

But more importantly, it is the time they alter the destiny of many. Every night activity of the satanic kingdom against you this season will come to nothing in Jesus’ name. Believers must be active participants in the spiritual realm. Praying for one hour at night has great effects on the operations of the dark kingdom, much more all night prayer. Reduce your sleep! As they meet to determine your fate, you go on your kneel and determine theirs, scatter their meeting and strip them powerless. (Pasor E. Adeboye)

The witching hour is a the time of day when supernatural creatures such as witches, demons and ghosts are thought to appear and be at their most powerful, and black magic at its most effective. This hour is typically past midnight or the “time in the middle of the night when magic things are said to happen.

Numbers 23:19-20
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

Balaam could not reverse the blessing he spoke over Israel. God had commanded him to bless and the result was a blessing that could not be reversed. What God said would come to pass.

Gen.27:33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.

Jacob could not reverse the blessing that Jacob received even though Jacob received it through deception. The blessing was irreversible. No man can reverse the blessing that God has given you.

The Kings’s decree could not be changed or altered and Daniel had to go into the lion’s den (Dan.6:8). When God speaks over us his word is authoritative, and cannot be changed, altered or reversed by man. What God COMMANDS cannot be reversed by man.

The KING’S COMMAND CANNOT be REVERSED.

Esther 8:8
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may NO MAN REVERSE.

Gen.12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Those who attempt to curse what God has blessed can become cursed themselves.

There are different kinds of prophetic words for different situations. The prophetic word can deal with past, present, and future. The prophetic word is able to deal with all the issues that we face in life. God has many thoughts toward us, and if we were to speak them, they cannot be numbered (Psa. 40:5) God’s word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path (Psa.119:105)

1. Now- addresses issues that are currently happening in a person’s life. This gives understanding on what a person is dealing with and helps eliminate confusion. I also call this a word in season (Isa.50:
4)

2. Confirmation- establishes and strengthens, builds faith and removes doubt, an example is “ you are on the right track.”

3. Future- speaks to next phase or stage in you life. May map out directions or areas of preparation needed for future tasks. This can include instruction on what to do. God’s words lighten our paths, so we know where to go.

4. Past- these are words that deal with past issues, often bringing understanding and resolving things from the past. These words help launch us into our future. There are many people chained to the past, and they need to be released. Joseph understood his past was necessary for his purpose to his people.

5. New- a new word is something completely new. It may often surprise the recipient. It is usually something they were not thinking or planning. (1 Cor.2:9-10)

6. Warning- these words warn of dangers that may be ahead, and what to avoid.

7. Deliverance- these words deliver people from things such as hurt, rejection, fear, sickness and release healing and restoration to the recipient. (Psa.107:20)

8. Revelation- these words give us insight and revelation into the plans and purpose of God for our lives. (Deut.29:29)

9. Identification- these words identify and help people understand and know who they are and what God created them to be. (Jud.6:12)

10. Correction- these words correct us and cause us to make the necessary adjustments in our lives. (Prov.3:11)

11. Commendation- God commends us when we are doing what is right . Each church in the Revelation was commended and then corrected.

12. Exposure- these words expose and identify the works of sin and darkness. (Heb.4:13)

13. Conditional- these words are conditional on your obedience, an example “if you will pray and seek my face, then I will move you into a new level of breakthrough and blessing.”

14. Impartation- God uses these words, often accompanied with the laying on of hands, to impart gifts into our lives (1 Tim.4:14)

These words can be spoken over individuals and congregations. We must be open and allow God to speak to us in these different ways. Each way will bring great blessing to the church.

SHALLUM (1 Chron 9) was the chief over the porters and his name means:
TO RESTORE, TO PAY RETRIBUTION, TO HAND OUT DESERVED PUNISHMENT FOR EVIL DONE, PERFECT, AGREEABLE.

AKKUB: PURSUER, TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO OVERTAKE AND CAPTURE.

TELEM/TALMON: TO BREAK UPON OR TREAT VIOLENTLY.

MESHELEMIAH(1 Chron 9:21): UNITED WITH JAH FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

JEDIAEL (1 Chron 26): KNOWING GOD.

ZEBADIAH: JAH HAS GIVEN. Intercession is a gift of God.

OTHNI: FORCIBLE, LION OF JEHOVAH. Intercessors are strong.

REPHAEL: GOD HEALS, MEDICINE OF GOD. Intercession releases healing.

ELAM: HIDDEN, CONCEALED, A VIRGIN (1 Chron 26) Intercession takes place behind closed doors. This describes the hidden prayer ministry of all intercessors. Purity is needed.

JOAH: LIKE JEHOVAH

SIMRI: WATCHFUL, ALERT (a definite characteristic of an intercessor)

SHEBUEL: GOD RESCUES, PULLS IN, TAKES BACK, A CAPTIVE OF GOD.

PORTERS ARE DOORKEEPERS

Psalm 84:10
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

We must protect the presence (ark) of God:

1 Chronicles 15:23
And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

1 Chronicles 15:24
And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

Numbers 27:21 
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of URIM before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

Deuteronomy 33:8 
And of Levi he said, Let thy THUMMIM and thy URIM be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

1 Samuel 28:6
 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by URIM, nor by prophets.

God has placed within you a spiritual Urim and Thummim. He has placed within you a sign, a revelation that will cause you to receive a yes answer or a no answer. You can still come to God in prayer with that kind of question. “Lord, must I do this?” And the answer will come up from within your spirit as a, ‘yes, yes,’ or a ‘uh uh, no way.’ You will sense it in your spirit. You will feel it. You will feel it as a surge which says, “Yes, it is good, do it!” Or you will feel a check in your spirit. It is a gut feel, an inner thing. It is a very deep thing, and what is actually taking place is that God is speaking to you out of your (Les D. Crause)

This, however goes beyond a simple yes and no. David enquired of the Ephod, and God told him yes, but also to “pursue, overtake, and recover all.” “Many of God’s people do not seem to understand this. “We have the Word–what more do we need”? is the attitude of many. Let us make it clear: the word of God is all we need to fully equip us for a life of fruitfulness and godliness. But that Word must be illuminated by His Spirit as we walk along in the pathway of life. Also, there will be many times when we will need a very explicit word for particular moments of decision, or some grievous area of conflict, that the Bible was never intended to give us. It does not take from what is written, nor add to it. But we are a people of the Way, just as Israel was. And like them we need clear direction and guidance, and some very specific words from the heart of God from time to time, as we travel the unknown way, and go through areas of conflict and trial. Now Joshua was warned that He must “meditate” in the “book of the law” day and night for his success (Josh. 1:8). Nevertheless he would need some direct counsel from the LORD along the way; and Eleazar the priest was to “ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD” (Num. 27:21). God would be faithful to give him clear and infallible direction–both as he went forth in battle, and as he came home in victory. It was not a game of chance–like the throwing of the dice, or a “yes” or “no” type of thing. It was a pure, clear word from the mouth of the LORD.” (George Warnock)

The word FORTUNATE is derived from a pagan goddess FORTUNA (equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche) was the goddess of fortune and personification of luck in Roman religion. She might bring good luck or bad: she could be represented as veiled and blind, as in modern depictions of Justice, and came to represent life’s capriciousness. She was also a goddess of fate. fortune “chance, luck as a force in human affairs,” from O.Fr. fortune “lot, good fortune, misfortune”, from L. fortuna “chance, fate, good luck,” from fors (gen. fortis) “chance, luck,” Often personified as a goddess; her wheel betokens vicissitude. There were false gods of fortune and luck.

Isaiah 65:11
But you who forsake the Lord, who forget and ignore My holy Mount [Zion], who prepare a table for Gad [the Babylonian god of fortune] and who furnish mixed drinks for Meni [the god of destiny]–

“Troop/number” or “Fortune (Gad)/Destiny (Meni)” in Isaiah 65:11?
Gad and Meni were the Pagan gods of fortune and destiny, but their names literally mean “troop” and “number”. “גּד” (Gad) is matched with Strong’s H1408 but it is the same word as H1410 which means “troop” (Brown, Driver, Briggs Lexicon). “מני” (Meni) is derived from “מנה” (manah) which means “to count, reckon, number, assign, tell, appoint, prepare” (Brown, Driver, Briggs Lexicon). By translating these names as “troop” and “number”, the pun in Hebrew becomes apparent. The passage refers to the names of two deities, Gad and Meni, but the thrust of the passage is that the Israelites had opted for polytheism (“that troop” and “that number”) in defiance to their one God. This pun is lost in the NASB, ESV, NIV, etc. The KJV translators kept in the margin the names “Gad” and “Meni” spelled with upper case letters, so they clearly knew that these were names of deities.

The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy referring to the capricious nature of Fate. The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna, who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel – some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls. Fortune appears on all paintings as a woman, sometimes blindfolded, “puppeteering” a wheel.

(Deut.4:20; Deut.28:48; Judges 1:19; Psa.107:16; Psa.105:18)

The yoke was a symbol of servitude in the Bible. In order to emphasize the weight of oppression, the yoke is sometimes described as of iron (Deut. 28:48). It was also a symbol of the burden of slavery or taxes upon the people (I Kings 12:11), while freedom from oppression was described in poetic and prophetic literature as the breaking of the yoke (Jer. 5:5). Iron represents strength; power; firmness; inflexibility.

An “iron yoke” represents an unusually galling bondage. ( 28:48; Jeremiah 28:13)

There is a strong correlation between the metal, iron, and the subject of bondage in the scriptures.

The Lion and the Hyena

The animal kingdom, when studied with discernment, can give us great insight into the demonic realm. Such is the case of the LION and the HYENA. These two creatures are natural enemies, and they have a hatred for each other, that can be called eternal. The bad blood between lions and spotted hyenas runs deep, and is one of the most celebrated rivalries in nature.

Hyenas are disgusting creatures that represent unclean spirits. Lions can also represent demons, but can also represent Christ and believers.
The hyena has one of the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom and an adult of the species has only the large cats of the family Felidae (Lions, Tigers, etc.) to fear. An adult hyena’s bite pressure can reach 800 lbs. per inch; it can crush bone.

Hyenas are unclean animals which represent sexual deviancy and lawlessness. The hyena is an ugly, vicious scavenger of whose jaws are as twice as powerful as those of a lion. A hyena is a scavenger because it does not mainly kill other animals for its food, but prefers to feed on what has remained of other hunts.

Hyenas are a picture of judgment and desolation. New Living Translation (©2007)”Soon Babylon will be inhabited by desert animals and hyenas. It will be a home for owls. Never again will people live there; it will lie desolate forever. (Jer.50:39)

“A female hyena is a “mastress” of chaos. It is common to see female lions climbing trees in fear of hyenas. Female lions do not intimidate hyenas at — they only fear the males. The Queen hyena only fears the King of each pride.

In the hyena society males are physically smaller, weaker and take the subservient role. They live in fear of the females, especially the matriarch, one dominant female – the queen.

Female hyenas hate and fear the male lion. But they are not the objects of his disdain. His focus is to kill the queen. He knows if he kills her, he has disrupted the entire pack. And only the king of beasts is brave enough to encounter her. In truth, he is eager to confront the hyena queen.

It takes a King male lion to kill the queen Hyena. He stalks the matriarch, she panics — he runs her down, falls on and breaks her back, and with one bite on her neck, deals a death blow. And with mommy dead, the young would-be queen is shunned from the pack to fend for herself. Her not-so-loyal subjects may even murder her. The remaining adult females must now fight for the dominant position of Queen.

The hyena’s hierarchy presents a clear picture of how demonic authority breaks down once a ruling spirit is expelled from a believer. Demons cannot be destroyed. They, once expelled, seek to return or find a new host.” (Thom C. Minnick)
