If Christians of the 21st century don’t adopt urgently the strategy of the OVERNIGHT COMBATTIVE PRAYER as Christ did, the Church will soon lose the war imposed on Her by terrorism. All those attacks conducted in various cities of Europe and America, etc., are simple distractions, for the ultimate goal of terrorism is to reach the fortresses of the Church of Christ in the West and definitely muzzle Her. Are we aware of this? But then why does Jesus Christ under the guidance of the Heavenly Father choose the NIGHT as the propitious time for the COMBATTIVE PRAYER against Satan and his demons?
The Holy Bible tells us that at creation God called the darkness, NIGHT (Genesis 1: 5). Apostle Paul identifies Satan and his demons as “The Rulers of the Darkness of this age”, of the NIGHT (Ephesians 6:12). Thus, it is clear that the intensive OVERNIGHT COMBATTIVE PRAYER constitutes an excellent frontal and direct spiritual attack plan against “these dominions … those rulers of this world of darkness, those spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”. In fact, it is during the NIGHT that all these powers of evil come together and define their plans of attack against the Church and against humanity in general. The destructions carried out by the terrorists are simply executions of the orders dictated by this spiritual empire of evil during the darkness, during the NIGHTS.
The Lord Jesus understood earlier Satan’s malignant strategy of assembling his army to organize and activate it during the NIGHTS while men are tired and fall asleep. Did not Christ say, “The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak”? (Matthew 26:41). Christians, what else are we looking for now? It is time to accept to be also recruited into the ranks of the forces of light, the forces of good, among the intercessors led by Jesus Christ. It is He who gave us the example of OVERNIGHT PRAYER FOR OUR CITY (John 7, Matthew 23:27, etc.). Just as we are, his disciples did not yet understand what the Master was doing. Do we understand it?
2. THE SECOND ARM OF THE BALANCE OF OUR MINISTRY:
The more precisely we pray for our city, for the unbelievers therein and against the plans of satanic forces against it (1 Peter 5: 9), the more God will put on our heart a precise and organized work program equal to the strength He gives us during the OVERNIGHT COMBATTIVE PRAYERS (I Corinthians 10:13).
That is why the Church of Christ with the support of all nations should, at this very crucial juncture of terrorism, seriously think on a strategy of fighting these demons by an organized work of intercessors from all denominations and all nations without distinction. This major project undoubtedly calls for an URGENT organization of a worldwide ecumenical conference dedicated to the issue of terrorism. It shall not be a gathering from which ordinary declarations of condemnation will emerge as usual, but rather a development of a common spiritual strategy OF OVERNIGHT COMBATTIVE PRAYER for our cities ON THE FIVE CONTINENTS.
