Last Friday night, I met a Christian at a prayer
meeting. He was rescued from war-torn Sudan and
brought to the U.S. three years ago. He clearly
loves to pray. He gushed facts.
For example:
I didn't know that George Washington, the first
president of the United States used to pray for
two hours every day - one hour in the morning at
4:00 a.m. and one hour at 9:00 p.m before retiring
to bed.
Or, that Christopher Columbus (who discovered America
in 1492) was so filled with the Spirit of God that he
wrote in his memoirs that he literally felt the Holy
Spirit on his shoulder directing him throughout his
journey to the New World.
And get this: I also did not know that in the book of
Genesis, when they brought Rebecca, the wife of Isaac,
the very first thing she saw him doing was praying.
"Most people just don't know how to pray," he explained.
"Since prayer is a spiritual weapon, it needs to be aimed
at a specific target and fired, like a gun repeatedly,
until you see the results."
He went on to add:
"Christians who have learned that prayer is more than
just communication with God are powerful folks.
They've learnt to make decrees when they are praying.
They've learnt to bind and to loose during prayer.
They've even learnt to speak to spiritual mountains
such as debt,sickness, and poverty... and caused
them to disappear,just like the bible said we would.
All during prayer."
Since I am into that dimension of praying and have been
teaching people how to pray their way out of debt, I
was eager to hear all this. I was so taken by what he
had to say that I spent the next two hours after the
prayer meeting listening to his story.
Here's the really fascinating part...
"You've probably seen people who through unfortunate
circumstances in their homelands were brought here as
refugees," he said. "Would you believe I am one of
them?" he asked me.
"Certainly not," I said. He looked to me more like a
successful physician than the image of poverty and
wretchedness we all see on tv.
"I didn't think you would" he told me. "But less than
three years ago, when I was rescued from a burning
village in the Sudan and airlifted to safety and freedom
here, I looked exactly like what you see on tv!"
I stared at him in disbelief. After a long silence, I
finally asked, "then what happened?"
"The fact that I'm still alive today is a testimony
that God still performs miracles, but I wont go into
that here. Instead I'll tell you how I used only one
strategy in the bible to get from a non-starter and
struggling refugee to the point where I now live in
my own home (worth over $200,000), drive a new car,
and on track to making an income of close to $100,000
this year - all in less than three years."
At this point someone came out and joined us.
He paused, then continued:
"As soon as I set foot on this land, I decided to start
a midnight watch. You see, I'm no physician, engineer,
lawyer, or some high flying professional. I had no
college education. I hated marketing. I knew that I
needed divine intervention in order to rise above the
level I found myself. And midnight prayer seemed to be
the only ticket I had."
"Where did you learn that concept?" I asked.
"It's right there in the bible," he answered quietly.
"David used it. Jesus used it. Paul used it.
When I first arrived here I joined the prayer group in my
local church. It turned out they were not familiar
with the concept.
I really searched around and discovered only
a few Christians knew the secret of the midnight watch.
Then a Christian brother who read one of your books told
me you've been encouraging people to program their
prayers into the midnight hour.
I came here because I've
been using concepts similar to what you teach and
they've worked for me."
He went on:
"In the bible when John's disciples asked Jesus who he
was, the burden of proof was on him (Jesus) to provide
the answer. Jesus did not answer John's question with
mere words; he authenticated his messianic claim by
his actions - which was in fulfilment of the well-known
prophecy in Isaiah concerning the Messiah.
Today, the burden of proof is on every believer... to
authenticate ourselves to the world around us.
If you say God is the Great Provider, prove it...
If you say He is the healer, you better be ready to
prove it... otherwise no one will take you seriously.
Right now, by the grace of God, I can humbly but boldly
tell you it is possible to pray and get into your own
home, or get a new car, or job, or business, or godly
spouse... whatever you desire, provided it is in line
with the will of God.
Because I am living PROOF!"
"I wish more Christians could say that," I began...
"I have just started praying about a project I've had
in mind a long time," he continued. "I need finances
to go back and build a children's hospital in my native
country.
I saw some prayer points you posted on your website
a while ago and the very first week I started praying them,
I received an unusual invitation to participate in a
business venture... that could potentially generate
millions of dollars in the next few years."
"I am here to sharpen my prayer sword so I can pray
this thing into physical manifestation," he concluded.
The prayer points he talked about form part of this 2nd
instalment of praying to get out of debt.
If you are able to program the prayers into the
midnight hour, it will help you to:
* discover yourself and your divine purpose
* gain spiritual momentum, if you find yourself
in one spot year after year
* get out of debt and begin the journey on the
road to financial stability
* achieve financial success
* move from success to significance

Remember, life can be pretty chaotic until you learn to
organize it with prayer.
The Lord will strengthen you in Jesus' name.
Be blessed!
