17Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear
my voice.
Isaiah 6:1

Psalm 18:37-38, 42
37I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till
they were consumed.
38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my
feet…
42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the
dirt in the streets.
In Psalm 7:9a, the psalmist cries out: “Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come TO AN END…” For something to “COME TO AN END” means:
…To cease
…To stop existing
…To be eradicated
…To be put off
…To be put out (Job 18:5)
…To be annihilated
…To discontinue
…To terminate
You see, beloved, God wants to terminate the wickedness in your life. For only until then can you have testimonies. That problem is an evil attachment that God wants to cut off by His mighty power. It stands for the spiritual King Uzziah: and it must die for you to sing a new song, for you to have your VICTORY AT LAST!
Isaiah 6:1
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Zechariah 11:9
Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
Can you see now that it is highly scriptural to address your battles to die so you can fulfill destiny? Every deep problem answers only to deep prayers.
Job 14:1
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and FULL OF TROUBLE (emphasis added).
No life therefore is trouble free. Against every life, storms will rage and they (storms) don’t have respect for your age! Another thing about troubles and problems is that they are in categories: there are SURFACE, SECRET and DEEP troubles.
Daniel 2:22
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Psalm 42:7
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Let this settle deep sink deep into your heart, beloved: Only deep, fervent prayers can tackle deep troubles. Traps used for rats will not work for an elephant. The time is long gone to be wasting time on irrelevances in the Church. No time anymore for fashion parades! The minerals that will give you great wealth are not on the surface of the Earth but are buried deep inside it. And so it is with your deep troubles. You must dig deep—in prayer—to get them!
It is only ignorant people who criticize and speak ill of prayer ministries—and they are suffering in their ignorance! Don’t join them and let pride stand between you and the solution to your problem(s). Let holy anger rise up within you against your deep issues and begin to pray now!
WHY MUST YOU PRAY ALOUD?
Psalm 55:16-17
16As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
Psalm 50:15
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Joel 2:32
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.
Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Mark 3:27
No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
In the light of these Scriptures, therefore, you must understand the following truths about spiritual warfare:
- The enemies don’t grant freedom easily; and even when they do, they don’t do so easily. You must get it forcefully (Matthew 11:12).
- The world is not a playground but a battleground (Ephesians 6:10-18).
- In this battle, it is either you kill or you get killed!
- Soft and apologetic prayers are useless in spiritual warfare (James 5:16b).
- Satan has a highly organised structure and network in the dark kingdom (Ephesians 6:12).
- Until you confront you can’t conquer (1 Peter 5:9a).
- The enemies only want to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (John 10:10a).
- One may make Heaven, but it is a matter of choice whether to die poor like Lazarus or rich like father Abraham! It is in your hands to decide.
- It is a disaster to behold the mountain of promise without getting there.
- Breakthroughs are born in the womb of battles (Matthew 11:12; Luke 22:44; Hebrews 5:7).
- You can’t match the devil’s might with prayers of low potency.
- Only stretched cords can produce melodies.
- Until you put a teabag in hot water, the flavour just won’t come out.
- It is your prayer attitude that will determine your success altitude.
- Satan is always jealous of good things and will fight to stop them. Stop him at all costs now—before he stops you!
- Spiritual violence is equal to aggression expressed to achieve a goal.
- Spiritual force is equal to the right application of power to get something done.
Beloved, pray with STRONG FAITH and GREAT EXPECTATIONS. You will sing a NEW SONG in Jesus’ precious name. YOU ARE THE NEXT TESTIFIER!
