Our Text is taken from the book of Nahum 1:8, Exodus 10:21
From that scripture in Nahum, an entity is introduced there, called “darkness” but if you read it deeper, the darkness has to pursue power. It is treated like a living entity. There is an entity known as darkness. It is a weapon. God uses it, the enemy uses it. Listen very carefully.
There is something called “spiritual aura”. It surrounds a person. The enemy uses the envelope of darkness as an aura that surrounds people. The Bible says “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” Meaning he cannot devour everybody. But once he finds a person that this darkness is upon and within, he becomes a candidate of satanic casualty.
This weapon of darkness is a weapon the enemy uses to very great advantage. Life becomes a lamentable tragedy when the enemy employs the weapon against a person and the weapon is working. It is a terrible weapon. It is a weapon that has masquerading power and mesmerizing power. It is something rarely understood and addressed. When the enemy uses this weapon against a person, the outcome is always very terrible.
Let me tell you some hard facts about darkness. Darkness
– is the absence of light
– starts by sunset. Jesus said something very interesting in John 9:4 – I must work the works of Him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work.
– is considered unsuitable for labor
– is favorable to the purposes of the wicked.
Wild animals go in search of prey at night. Criminals operate at night, under the cover of darkness. In the Bible, shepherds watch their flocks by night because of dangerous animals and thieves. So, darkness is not a positive creature, but the consequence of the absence of the sun.
– is very uncomfortable.
– causes a man to expose himself unconsciously to danger because it is in the dark.
– is silent and is very conducive to satanic operation.
It is in the dark that all the creatures that are unworthy of light come out and start troubling man.
Can you raise up your right hand and shout this as loud as your voice can carry you? This is not a gentleman’s prayer because the entity you are talking to is silent and deaf.
PRAY: 1. (Insert marriage, career, business, academics, or what you want) Darkness over my career, backfire, in the name of Jesus.
2. Darkness over my children, backfire, in the name of Jesus
