Battle at Midnight Clarke, Barbara (Monash University, Australia)

The battle at midnight is not just an issue of deliverance, where you are spun around, led to vomit, scream, or contort your face to get material things from the Lord but more to walk in a closer and deeper relationship with the Lord. There are many types of prayer battle that one can enter into, but this particular battle is to help us to crucify the flesh and above all renew our thinking patterns and adjust the way we view the Lord at times. Many times people will go through serious deliverance which at times involves fasting, long hours of prayer and casting out of demonic oppressive spirits, then after the deliverance session, that person will make so many promises to the Lord vowing to serve Him with a devoted and loyal heart, but If the mindset of that individual does not get renewed, after such a sacrifice, that person will become worse off than they were before the deliverance took place and in the end can conclude that the minister that did the deliverance did not know what he/ she was doing. Matt 12:43-45"When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation." (NKJV) About the Author Apostle Barbara Clarke is a native of Guyana and a citizen of Barbados.
