“I love them that love me; and
those that seek me early shall find me.”—Proverbs 8:1
The believer’s source of power is the Holy Spirit
and the Word of God. We build ourselves
up in faith when we confess the Word of God and pray in the Holy Spirit. “But
you beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the
Holy Spirit” (Jude 20). Satan has
been defeated through the cross.
Principalities and powers have been spoiled, “Having disarmed principalities and powers,
He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians
2:15). We are enforcing this victory
through our prayers, and this honor has been given to all His saints. Prayer is commanded and not a suggestion. Jesus said, “When you pray…” (Luke 11:2). We
are to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, to take the sword
of the spirit, and pray with all manner of prayer (Ephesians 6).
Early Risers, 3 a.m. – 6 a.m., through
prayer command the morning, facilitate
the purposes of God and cancel the plans of the enemy and frustrate him. The following are some scriptures that have
changed my life and ministry when I began to confess and pray them.
“Lord,
You awaken me morning by morning. You waken my ear to hear as the learned’
(Isaiah 50:4).
“Lord,
Your going forth is prepared as the morning, and I pray that You will come as
the rain, the latter and former rain upon the earth” (Hosea 6:3).
“Lord,
You visit me every morning” (Job 7:18).
“I
receive Your lovingkindness every morning” (Psalm 143:8).
“Lord
make the outgoings of the morning to rejoice” (Psalm 65:8).
“Let
Your light break forth in my life as the morning’ (Psalm 58:8).
“I
will have dominion over the devil in the morning” (Psalm 49:14).
“Have you commanded the morning since your
days began, and caused the dawn to know its place, that it might take hold
of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be
shaken out of it?” (Job 28:12-13).
The purpose of the Morning Prayer is to take hold of the
ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it. Pray that the wicked, those who will never
receive Jesus, (fatally wicked) will be shaken out of the earth. It is important to pray that the wickedness be
shaken out of your city, a shaking out of witchcraft, perversion and false doctrine. Commanding
the Morning Prayer sets the day against the powers of hell and against the
powers of darkness. Instead of the day
being set against you, you set the anointing of God against every curse, spell,
jinx, hex, overcome every vex, and all wickedness that would come your way and
you destroy it in the name of Jesus.
“Let
Your judgments come upon the enemy morning by morning” (Isaiah 28:19). God brings His judgment to
light. In the morning, we declare that
God brings his judgment and justice in the earth. Injustice does not change because we complain
it changes because we declare the justice of God’s kingdom. Therefore prayer is setting His kingdom and
His justice in place.
When we
rise up early and command the morning in prayer, God takes hold of the ends of the
earth and shakes the wicked out of it and sets His justice and judgment in
order.
Prayer—Father
I thank You that I am assured that when I seek You early I shall find You. I purpose in my heart to get under the
anointing of the early riser and that the first fruit of my morning is holy;
therefore my entire day will be holy. As
I command the morning and capture the day, time is being redeemed. I degree and
declare a new day, a new season and a fresh anointing, in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
