DEMONIC DELAYS ARE OVER

Today’s Scripture Readings: Daniel 10:10-19, Luke 18:1-8

Daniel 10:10-21 “Suddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands. 11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling. 12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.” 15 When he had spoken such words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless. 16 And suddenly, one having the likeness of the [b]sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength. 17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.” 18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So, when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” 20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. 21 But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.”

Today you also may feel that your prayers are being delayed and you cannot see a way out of that troubled situation, but God is making a way. Just do not give up and keep standing firm in prayer and fasting. Remember the devil is the father of all liars, who is always in the habit of perverting God's agenda and purpose for our lives. Therefore, we must stand firm and resist all his tactics and advances. Precious saints you also need to be sensitive to God’s Kairos (Divine) timing - that is, what God is doing or about to do in your life and prepare yourself adequately for it. Otherwise, you can miss what God wants to do with you and through you. It is time to redeem the time, for all those lost opportunities that have been missed and wasted.

Imagine the Prophet Daniel had been praying for 21 days without seeing the result of his prayers. The territorial (principality) strongman of Persia had held down the messenger angel which brought a hindrance to answered prayers. Similarly, the miracles of many children of God are hanging, ambushed, delayed, blocked or unclaimed in the second heavens if we quit. But I believe even today, any territorial principality that has arrested your blessings or purpose shall be paralysed and your blessings shall be released to you, in Jesus Mighty name!

So, to delay is to slow down, to retard, to detain, and cause to be late. See God is looking for those that are persistent in prayer even after they receive their breakthrough, that they keep on praying until all of Gods will comes to pass. God is looking for faithful servants that do not give up and the devil does not know what to do with a saint that never gives up hallelujah! Just like the Parable of the Persistent Widow, she did not give up precious saints!

Luke 18:1-8 “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor [a]regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me I will [c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ” 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

We need to be just like this widow, for the Father has promised to avenge His elect and vindicate us from all injustice. So no matter what your delay is today where it is the fruit of the womb, graduation from university and education, promotion in the work place, we are going to believe God will bring a breakthrough. If a strongman is responsible for the delay in your life, God will make a way today. So arise today and fight for what is yours precious saints. As the devil delays us primarily to frustrate us; to afflict us, to create fear, to make us doubt God and consequently, prevent us from receiving our miracles (James 1:5). Some promotion letters have been detained under the table of some demonic bosses, while some have been hidden in a witchcraft cauldron. What about people’s business that they prayed before and then stopped. The angel that was bringing your breakthrough may have been hindered to bring your long-awaited business contract, because it could have been delayed in the second heavens, because of lack of angelic reinforcement. The enemy will not let go without a fight precious saint, but as we keep pushing in prayer we shall receive our deliverance from every demonic hinderance in Jesus Mighty Name!

So how do we break free from these delays:

1. We stand upon and absolute trust in the infallibility of the Word of God.

2. We remain persistent standing in the gap on the altar of strategic warfare prayers.

3. Fasting is key to our breakthrough precious saints.

TODAY'S REVIVAL STORY

German missionary to Africa, Reinhard Bonnke (1940-2019) founded Christ For All Nations (CFAN) which now ministers to millions.

Converted at nine, he had a missionary zeal. As a teenager, Reinhard saw Johannesburg in South Africa in a vision of a map of Africa. At 19 he headed off to the Bible College of Wales to train as a missionary, even though he couldn’t speak English. Three months later he was preaching in English! There he learned practical principles of living by faith.

After a short pastorate in Germany where he married Anna, they left for German Pentecostal missionary work in Africa. Working as traditional missionaries from 1967 to 1974 in Maseru, the capital of the small landlocked country of Lesotho, they saw meager results.

The early days in Lesotho (1974)

Near the end of that time Reinhard’s interpreter broke down during his message at a healing meeting one Sunday morning and sank weeping to the floor because of God’s awesome presence. Waiting for the interpreter to recover Reinhard ‘heard’ the Lord speak ‘words’ which amazed him: “My Words in your mouth are just as powerful as My Words in My own mouth.”

The ‘voice’ repeated the sentence. He ‘saw’ it like a movie in Scripture – Jesus told the disciples to speak in faith and it would happen. “I suddenly realized that the power was not in the mouth – the power was in the Word,” said Reinhard.

Then, when the interpreter had recovered enough to speak, as he was preaching Reinhard ‘heard’ the Spirit say, “Call those who are completely blind and speak the Word of Authority.”

He did. About six blind people stood. He boldly proclaimed, “Now I am going to speak with the authority of God, and you are going to see a white man standing before you. Your eyes are going to open.”

Taking a deep breath Reinhard shouted: “In the name of Jesus, blind eyes open!”

The power of his voice jolted even those on the stage. It felt as though a flaming bolt of lightning was let loose in the building. His voice was still resonating against the bare brick walls when there was another shout. This time it was the shriek of a woman’s voice. What she screamed shattered the silence that hung over the congregation: “I can see! I can see!”

She had been totally blind for years. The other blind people also saw. The place erupted in excited cheers. A woman handed her crippled boy through the milling crowd to Reinhard who sensed the power of God on the boy and watched amazed as his crippled legs shook and straightened. He was healed. The meeting went for hours as people screamed, shouted, danced, and sang.

At the end of 1974, Reinhard relocated to Johannesburg and established Christ for All Nations (CFAN). Early in January, when he was ill, he had a vision of Jesus similar to the Joshua’s vision (Joshua 5:13-15). He wrote: “I was very sick. I didn’t think I would make it. I went to doctors. Nothing helped. I was crying to God: ‘Lord what are you doing? What is your plan?’ One afternoon I retired to my study. A thirst for prayer came over me and I was hardly on my knees when I saw a most wonderful vision. I saw the son of God stand in front of me in full armour, like a general. The armour saw shining like the sun and burning like fire. It was tremendous and I realised that the Lord of Hosts had come. I threw myself at His feet. I laughed and I cried … I don’t know for how long, but when I got up, I was perfectly healed.”

When Reinhard flew to Gaberone in Botswana to buy time on radio there the Lord told him to hire the 10,000-seater sports stadium for a crusade. The local Pentecostal pastor who agreed to help prepare for the crusade was amazed. He had only 40 in his congregation!

The crusade in April 1974 with Reinhard’s evangelist friend Pastor Ngidi started in a hall which could seat 800. On the first night 100 attended. Healings happened every night, and people fell to the floor overwhelmed. That was new to Reinhard.

By the end of the first week 2,000 people were packed into the hall. So they moved into the stadium! Thousands attended. People were saved and healed every night and over 500 people were baptised in water within two weeks.

One night in the stadium, the Holy Spirit urged Reinhard to pray for people to be baptised in the Holy Spirit. So, he asked an African co-worker to give a message on the Holy Spirit. Reinhard felt dissatisfied with talk because it didn’t mention tongues.

About 1,000 people responded to the call to be baptised in the Spirit. As soon as they raised their hands, they were all flattened shouting and praising God in new languages on the ground. Reinhard had never seen anything like that before. It continued to happen in his crusades. Reinhard used an enormous tent which could seat 30,000 people. Then the crowds grew so large that no tent could hold them. Some of CFAN crusades in Africa have reached huge open-air crowds of 600,000 to 800,000 people and even over 1 million.

Precious saints, the Lord has used many of the past Fathers of faith like john G Lake, Benson Idahosa and Reinhard Bookie to stir my faith to go preach the gospel in the continent of Africa. During my early years ministering in Africa (2012), the Lord showed me in a vision revival that would spread all over Africa. Yes, I saw Africa being ignited with a Gods Holy Fire starting as small fire lights and spreading over the whole continent and then onto the rest of the nations in the world. So may we also join in the faith of John G Lake and Reinhard, to believe that millions of souls shall experience this Endtime repentance revival that is coming very soon within meetings across Africa and beyond.
