Do Away With This Prayer Myth by noblejames: 1:47pm On Jan 04, 2018
There is this myth surrounding the act of prayer in the church world especially in this part of the world. Christians have been made to believe that for their prayers to be answered one has to pray at a certain hour of the night. Reasons being that these certain hours of the night are the times the demons, witches and wizards gather to have their meeting. I was in a certain church service one day the pastor was issuing order to his members to start praying at 2.00am every night, that it is the most powerful time to pray because that is the time the demons gather. Well, I wonder if he is one of them, that on the side, this statement is not according to knowledge.
Prayer must be a faithful spiritual activity in which the one praying issue orders through his or her mouth in order to turn things around in the spiritual realm. Prayer affects the course of things in the realm of the spirit, and in the realm of the spirit the principalities and powers there acts on what the one praying has commanded. These principalities and powers are spiritual beings and as spiritual being they are not under the control of time and space, which means that they do not exist within time and space. This implies that demons do not know what 2.00am is and are not regulated by any time frame. They are on the loose to do their havoc at any time of the day whether night or daylight. So we see evil occurrences induced, inspired, controlled by demons taking place at any time of the day. The misnomer here is that 2.00am in Nigeria could be afternoon somewhere in any part of the world and in that part of the world some tragic situation could be taking place whereas the people in Nigeria are having a nice time in their sleep.
Recently we heard of a flight that flow from a country that is in 2018 and landed in a country that is still in 2017. This shows that time is not a factor in the realm of the spirit because the beings in the realm of the spirit doesn’t exist within the parameters of time and space. That is why when you pray sickness that is supposed to take five months to heal under medical supervision heals instantly because when the realm of the spirit invades into a matter, time doesn’t matter at all. So is fallacious to wake up or to wake someone up to pray midnight prayer because that is the time the demons are at work. This reason is not according to knowledge! Now don’t get me wrong, I am not against praying midnight prayer or praying at 2.00am. I do pray at any time of the night but not because it is the time the demons are at work but because is comfortable for me, at that times there are no distractions and my spirit can focus and I declare what I want done and happen.

In the write-up the op didn't say that night prayers are not effective but praying with the idea that it's when demons are in operation is wrong.

what I see here is Pentecostal and charismatic manipulation. The Holy Spirit will only direct and correct us through sound teaching that is scripturally rooted not through our emotions and feelings.

A bigger myth than that, in fact, the biggest of them all is that an unrighteous person can pray and get answers from God. And that is one of the major delusions that the religion of Christianity runs on, abandoning Jesus Christ's clear instructions to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness) and then God's righteousness in order that all things — the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) — shall then added onto one. undecided

God is not a fool neither is He gullible that men would decide that by the power of their many prayers and rituals, they can cause God to go back on His Word to grant unrighteous men access to that which He has stored away only for those who are righteous in Him. undecided

Nights are not effective either, not according to God who instead said that the only effect is obtained by way of righteousness. Basically, if God had not approved you as a righteous follower of His, even if you prayed standing on your head, your prayers will never be answered by Him. So, you seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness), and then God's righteousness, so that all these things — the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) — shall be added onto you. There is no other way and these meaningless rituals will never cause God to bend on behalf of any man. undecided

According to Jesus Christ, it is only those who have become Holy as the Father in Heaven is Holy that the Holy Spirit comes to make His Home in - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. undecided
