TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE
THE VERY FIRST WATCH IS THE GATE FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW DAY.
POSSESS THE GATE OF YOUR DAY. I Ask You Lord of Hosts to come (Psa. 45:4;
Psa. 74:12; Isa. 9:1) and take hold of the gates of my life, my family, home,
business/job, ministry and the nation and judge the spirits of wickedness in the
land (Isa, 17:12-14; Isa. 42:18-22). I pray that You paralyze all the strongholds of
the devil, so Jesus will be enthroned in my life, my family, my generations, and
the Philippines. I ask You Lord to send Your angels to operate these gates so they
can release godliness and righteousness in my life, my family, our city and the
Philippines. (Rev. 3:7, 20; Isa. 22:20-25, 26 ;2, 3) I pray You Take DOMINION and
nullify all the curses that the enemies have released on this new day: on my life,
my family, the Body of Christ (church), city and the Philippines. I Pray God that
You will lead and anoint the Church to pray and subdue all spiritual and physical
strongholds that constitutes the Kingdom Of Darkness in the Philippines (Psalm
60:9, 10; 2 Sam. 5:6-9), ex. Strongholds of false religions, idolatry, witchcraft,
corruption, lust, homosexuality, etc. I RELEASE AND DECLARE GOD'S BLESSINGS
UPON MY LIFE, FAMILY, HOME, BUSINESS/JOB, MINISTRY AND THE NATION ON
THIS NEW DAY.
Time to Pray and Silence all the Voices (curses) of the Enemies of My Life,
Family, Church, City and Nation.
Lord, I take this time to release judgment on the wicked, because this is the time
we have the evening tide in line with Isa. 17:12-14 and Psalm 59. I pray to silence
all the voices and curses that the enemies have released to my life, my family,
home, business/job, ministry, the church, city, and nation. We release and
proclaim into this new day Your blessings, changing the environment or spiritual
equation in my life, family, church, city and nation.
Humility is the greatest secret of Your strength, Lord Jesus: that is the reason why
during this watch, You tied the towel on Your waist and washed Your disciple's
feet. You have shown that Leadership is service.
Lord, I take this time to pray for the fruits of my life, especially the fruits of my
body – my children. I pray, Lord that you protect and preserve my generations. I
pray that You keep my children from harm, injury, damage, sickness and disease
that will prevent them from fulfilling Your purpose and calling for their lives. I
pray that You preserve their destiny and see that it be fulfilled in their life time. I
pray, Lord that You keep their identity in Jesus Christ intact and undefiled.
PRAYING FOR THE PROVISION OF MY GOD-GIVEN PROJECTS
Lord, I pray for every endeavor/project that I have started to live out its divinely
ordained lifespan. I pray your wisdom, vision, empowerment and capability, and
strength, to complete these projects, as You will.

on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”

plundered the Egyptians.”
D. PRAY FOR THE CHURCH AND THE SUPPLY FOR ALL GOD- GIVEN PROJECTS.
Prayer For Supply / Provisions. Lord, I take this time to receive Your provisions
or supply for our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. I Pray for
supply of strength, abilities, freedom from all limitations, etc.) I Pray, Lord for
supply needed for our home, business/job, ministry, and for all our God-given
projects and tasks.
Prayer for Provision to do God's Work. I claim this time to receive from You,
Supply of all Resources needed for every God-given project as this was the time
that the Israelites got everything that they had to use to build the Tabernacle in
the wilderness. Also, just as the Israelites ate the Passover standing with their
tunics tucked with belts around their waists ready to move, I pray and ask for the
sense of urgency to accomplish whatever You want us to do.
Prayer for the Church, The Body of Christ. Lord, I pray for the release of the
mighty wind of the Holy Spirit to heal, restore, refresh, revive and empower Your
people with Your seven-fold Spirit (Isaiah 11, Revelations 5) – (the Spirit of the
Lord, the Spirit of knowledge, the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
Might, Fear Of The Lord) for Your work in these days; for greater love and
intimacy with You, for deeper worship and discipleship, greater service for You,
Lord. I pray for the light from Your presence Lord to come and consume every
iota of darkness, so that we - the church, can enjoy the free release of the Holy
Spirit (Acts 16:24-25); I pray for your empowerment for the church to go and
preach the gospel in the Spirit of the Lord; I pray, Lord that You raise a praying
company who will watch and pray without ceasing (Neh. 4:9); that you may bless
us, Your people with.
Lord, I Pray that the Church will receive the necessary spiritual technology for
spiritual awakening and progress (Hosea 4:6). I Pray, Lord that You raise a crop
of people whose jobs will be to receive from You, Your divine plan for the nation,
the eight pillars, our province, so that all things will be patterned according to
Your standards (Psalm 74:8-9, Exo. 24:12-18)
Lord I pray that You will plant us – Your people, in the mountain of our
inheritance (Exo. 11:3-4, Exo. 15:17; Psa. 44:2). I Pray that You remove every veil
of darkness from our minds so that we can comprehend Your purposes for our
generation (2 Cor. 4:4; Rom. 12:1-3). I Pray, Lord that the specific doors You have
ordained for us, Your people, (1 Cor. 16:9; Isa. 45:1-3) be opened and that You
will deal with Your enemies so that we, Your people can possess our inheritance.

Decrees. I Pray that you release Your people from bondages as You have done with Your
people, Israel when they left Egypt at this watch. I Pray for greater level of concentration
(Mark 1:35; Isa. 17:14) and for angelic intervention. This is also the time the wicked are
wiped out and also the time when I could employ the land to fight for us. Thank You,
Lord that this is the time to rule in the midst of our enemies.
Note:
For Those Who Are Trusting God For Their Marriage Partners: For those of you who are not
married, this is a good time to pray for marriages, so God will give you his assigned marriage
partner. According to Matt. 25:6, it was at midnight that the bridegroom came. In the case of
Ruth, though she had been sleeping at Boaz’s feet, it was at midnight that he noticed that a
woman was sleeping there.
For Those Who Are Married: This the best time to pray for your marriage.
This is also the best time to pray for marriages in the land.
I Pray God that You show things to make my marriage a happy one. I pray also that my
marriage partner and I will discover new and beautiful things in each other. Let there be
love and unity in our marriage. Let honoring and valuing each other be part of the
eternal foundations of our marriage and our family as we make the Lord Jesus Christ our
strong foundation and the center of our relationship.
While this is the watch to enter into our rest (Psa. 67), Lord I pray you enable us to keep
our lamps burning.
In line Lord with this watch, I take this as the best time to make my case in prayer. (Mark
13:35; Luke 11:5-13; Acts 16: 25-34; Acts 20:7-12) [personal requests]
Lord, I also take this period to pray for every emergency provision to be released (Luke
11:5 -13; Acts 16:3).
I also take this time to pray for my God-given dreams (Job 4:13-14); time for miracles or
covenants; and time to apply the Blood of Jesus. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I
confront every storm of destruction and distraction that we are facing. I take this time
to speak peace and calm into every situation of turbulence and confusion, in Jesus’
Name.
I Plead to heaven to unravel insights and revelations to take our rightful place in God.
(Jer. 33:3) I Break every spirit of LIMITATION that has been sitting on me, my family,
home, business/job, ministry. I Throw away all the shackles in the name of Jesus and
move on, for it is time to let the people go (Exo. 4:22-23).
I Ask You Lord to deliver me from spiritual drowsiness. I Pray Lord You bless my
household with both spiritual and physical food (Mark 13:33-37). I Ask Lord that You
arrest every thief sent out to steal from my barn, in Jesus’ Name.
POSSESSING THE GATE OF THE FOURTH NIGHT WATCH / THE LAST WATCH OF THE NIGHT
Lord, I come to take possession of the gate of this Last Watch of the Night – for myself, my
family, church, community, and the Philippines
PRAYER
I declare Your Word, O Lord - Isa. 58:8, “Then your light shall break forth like the
morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go
before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.”
Lord, I take this time to release judgment on the wicked, who remain stiff-necked after
many warnings and rebukes in line with Prov. 29:1.
I take this time for every enemy chariot to have their wheels removed (Exo. 14:24-28)
and all their plans, programs, schemes and policies would fail. I take tihs period to
release the manifestation of the full intensity of the dayspring shaking out the wicked.
Lord Jesus, this was the watch when You came walking on the water and when You
released the disciples from the storm according to Matt. 14:25. I pray now that You
release me and my family from the storm and let us move in the supernatural and in the
miraculous.
This is also the time for resurrection power. So I pray that everything that has died in
me, in my family, business/job, ministry and in the Philippines in terms of potentials
should be released.
I take this time to rise and begin to shine (Isa. 60:1-5). I also take this time for the
resurrection of every dormant gift, every redemptive gift to rise and shine as
immediately after this watch the sun rises and shines (Psa. 18:28).
I Pray Lord that You would light the candle of my family, my generations, my home, and
the Philippines. I pray You enlighten our darkness and our morning star would no more
be dark.
Lord Jesus, it was at this watch when the stone in front of Your tomb was rolled away. So
I pray that every reproach upon me, my family, business/job, ministry, church must be
rolled away.
I Ask Lord that You deliver me, my family, the church, and our nation from the spirit of
fear and inconsistency so we can discover our redemptive gifts as a people. I Pray and
ask Lord that You release Your angels to roll back every stone of limitations and bondage
in our family and the Philippines (Matt. 28:2).
I Pray Lord Your Scepter Of Righteousness will be witnessed and experienced in our
family, church, and nation (Exo.14:24-27). I Pray that this time around, the Philippines
will see You, her Maker and her children will know You.
PRAYER
Lord, I come before You claiming that the spiritual significance of the sunrise is having
Jesus Christ the King of Kings and the Lord lords rise over us. I pray You instruct the sun
that, as it rises over people, it should accurately represent Jesus Christ the Sun of
righteousness and bring healings for the soul: the heart, emotions, minds, bodies,
families, relationships, marriages in our land and also for the land. I Pray that You, the
Sun Of Righteousness would rise with healings in Your wings. I pray there shall be
healings in my prayer life, health, relationships, family, church, community, government,
economy, etc.
TIME OF HARVEST
PRAYER
Lord, in accordance with the time watch in the Bible, I am now in the second hour of the day,
the watch that begins at the third hour. I (we) have started my (our) day for tasks ahead. I (we)
need You to empower me (us) to identify and accomplish Your purpose for each moment of my
(our) life and pursue it. I pray to fulfill the purpose or which I (we) came to earth.
Pray for Forgiveness, Healing of Relationships, Pray for the release of Others.
Lord Jesus, You have taught us in The Lord’s Prayer to ask the Heavenly Father to “Forgive Us for
our Trespasses... as We forgive...” This is the best ime to pray this portion of the model prayer
You have taught Your disciple, Lord Jesus. I pray for healing of relationships. I pray for healing
of grievances, resentments and bitterness.
PRAYER
I take this time to exercise my God given dominion, operating in love, receiving a divine lift from
You, and letting my light shine brighter until the full light of day is attained (Prov. 4:18). In this
midday, the time of the fullness of the day and the beginning of the Sixth hour, the time when
the sun is at its fullest, and should yield its optimum best, I Pray Lord that the sun will yield its
best and precious fruit upon me, my family, my church, in line with Deut. 33:4. I Pray that my
life would be bright. I pray Lord for me (us) not to be led into any temptation, trap or snare of
the enemy.
I take this time for Justice to come to me (Isa. 7:14). Lord, Your Word in Psalm 37:5,6 says,
“Trust in the Lord and He will do this – He will make Your righteousness shine like the dawn, the
justice of your cause like the noonday sun.” Lord I pray my righteousness will shine and be
made known like the springing forth of the sun at dawn, and the Justice of my cause to shine
like the noonday sun.
Time To Be In The Secret Place Of The Most High - For Protection (PSALM 91:1)
I Pray Lord that You deliver me and Your people from all the schemes of the enemy (Psalm 91:5,
Psalm 64:1-10, Psalm 91:3, 2 Cor. 2;11, Jer. 18:22, 20:16). I Plead the covering of the blood of
Jesus over my life and ministry. I Pray God that You will send Your strong angels to guard Your
servants in our nation (Psalm 91:11). I Pray Lord that You rescue the whole Philippines from
the plague that destroy at midday. Instead of destruction, may there be establishment of You
will and purpose O Lord for the land. I Ask Lord that You scatter and disband all the wicked
spirits from the Land (Zeph. 2:4).
PRAYER
Thank You, Lord that this is the watch that ushers in and begins at the hour of prayer
according to Acts 3:1, Acts 10:30, and Isa. 60:11-22. Thank You, Lord that the most
important privilege of the entire church is prayer and the only hour in the Bible that is
specifically referred to as the Hour of Prayer begins at 3:00pm. Thank You, Lord that this
was the time that the veil in front of the Holy of Holies tore from top to bottom. This
watch is the time of direct access to You!
Lord, at the time of this watch, when Jesus was about to give up the ghost, He cried out to You
“Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani” (meaning “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). This
is because You, the Father turned Your back on sin. I pray Lord that the church in the Philippines
will turn her back on sin so that leadership in the family, the government, the church, the
economy, etc. will turn their back on sin.
I Pray God that You baptize every Christian with hatred for sin in our generation (Heb. 12:1-2,
Zech. 3:1, Col. 3:1-5, Heb. 12:1). I Pray that You will deliver Your people from fighting
unnecessary battles and fight only those that are by divine appointment (1Sam. 17:40-58). I
pray that You will deliver us from satanic manipulations and deceptions. I Pray that every wall
of division and personal ambitions in the Body of Christ be pulled down. (Acts 10:23-35).
