“And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God” ( Luke 6:12).
Our Lord Jesus Christ continued in prayer the whole night and early in the morning He was found preaching in the synagogue, guiding, delivering and ministering. Similarly, when you wait at that hour the Holy Spirit will prepare you for the day, He will reveal the plot of the devil, He will guide us to tackle men on that day also He will strengthen us at that hour to handle all sorts of temptation that’s waiting for us at that day. No matter what is the temptation that’s waiting for the day, the Lord will prepare us for it and guide us to overcome the temptations.
Waiting at that hour will make us victorious. We will receive physical strength, courage, peace of mind and overcome the weakness in the flesh. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet 5:8). It is at that hour Satan tempts men to indulge in all sorts of sin. Those who slumber fall prey to the devil at that hour. “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matt 26:41). The Lord’s disciples were not prepared to overcome the temptations that day. They not only ran away from the Lord Jesus but vehemently denied Him. Slumber leads to betrayal and shame but being vigilant leads to victory.
“I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me” (Prov 8:17). The Lord reveals Himself for He loves them that love Him. And only those who love Him will wait at the first hour of the day. When Mary Magdalene went early to the grave, she found the Lord, and heard His voice. She was the first person to see the resurrected Lord. So also as Paul and Silas prayed in the prison at the midnight hour there was a great earthquake, the foundations of the prison were shaken, the bondages were broken and they were set free.
When one communicates to the Lord at that early hour one can touch the heart of the Lord. You can express your love to Him. Leaving aside the worldly thoughts, the sinful world and staying focused at Him will please Him immensely. As one continues to wait at that hour, the spiritual eyes will be opened and the Lord will reveal the secrets of the Heaven. He will reveal the revelation and He will reveal Himself to you. It is at that hour He loves to speak to His children.
The ideal time to wait at His feet is midnight. You can experience His presence mightily, hear His loving and compassionate voice, have heavenly visitations and encounter angels. As you close your eyes and meditate on Him, you will truly experience His presence in your room.
The Lord neither slumbers nor sleeps and He watches His children. His eyes move to and fro and He keeps watching them. As you practice waiting regularly, He will wait for you at that hour. He will wake you up by gently tapping you and will make you pray at that hour. That’s the relationship you have to develop with Him by waiting at that hour.
Waiting at that hour made the Lord Jesus Christ victorious and He was able to accomplish the mission successfully for which He was sent by His Father.
Do not miss that hour with the Lord. He is hurt when He finds His children ignorant and nonchalant about the hour of the Lord. We are accountable for missing that hour: the serious, the wonderful, and the beautiful hour with the Lord.
You will be fully controlled by the Lord. Your mind will be free from the worldly thoughts. The Lord will have complete control over you. In that hour is the strength. In that hour are the blessings. Those who wait at that hour will be transformed as a prophet or prophetess. The secrets of the Heaven will be revealed and supernatural blessings will be poured on you.
Waiting at that hour will not only strengthen and encourage your soul, but will heal the body too. Presence of the All Perfect Father will make oneself perfect and He will deliver us from every sickness.
That is an important hour for all those who have surrendered their life to serve the Lord.
According to the schedule given by the Lord to me, the prayer time begins at 00:00 hours and extends to 4:00 A.M. in the morning. During this hour, while I pray the Lord descends, the room gets illuminated and a fresh fragrance fills the room, the intensity of the brightness increases. In that glorious illumination the Lord Jesus Christ appears, He fills me with His Spirit and Power, and starts dictating the day’s message. He guides and counsels at that hour and hours pass by looking at the glorious face of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He desires to reveal Himself to every son and daughter who has dedicated his or her life for Him. He wants to speak to them and personally guide them in the ministry and shower His love and blessings on them. He will embrace you: for you are very precious for Him; you are His chosen vessel.
Let us be the first ones to seek Him like Mary Magdalene and worship Him as Paul and Silas, touch His heart and be faithful to Him like how He was to His Father.
The ministry will be much more meaningful, powerful and fruitful if one sees Him and hears Him. In order to see Him and hear His voice one has to wait at that hour and seek Him diligently. This is for every priest, friar, monk, nun and all other servants of God who wants to serve the Lord sincerely.
The Almighty God found the shepherds waiting at that hour. He sent His angel to them and they were filled with the glory of the Lord. The angel of the Lord brought good tidings of great joy: the birth of our Saviour. The shepherds were able to see the angels, hear them and receive the message from the heaven: for they were vigilant.
Revelations, visitations, visions, glory and grace are for those who spend time with the Lord; specially the first hour of the day. You have to wait at that hour in order to be spiritually mature.
“He who waits at that hour is blessed. Secrets are revealed at that hour. I answer the yearning soul. I quench the thirsty soul. I reveal Myself to the waiting soul” says the Most Holy Spirit.
He waits for you. Wait at that hour and know the love of your Father, your God and the Lord.
