Understanding the Eight Prayer Watches: The Eighth Prayer Watch (3:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.)

The eighth prayer watch is the hour of rejoicing in the power of the Cross. During this prayer watch, Christ willingly became a sin offering. Moreover, He shed His blood for the sins of the world so that all mankind would be reconciled with God, the Father (Colossians 1:20).

Moreover, those who accept Jesus Christ’s sacrifice can now live a triumphant life through Him and are allowed to come boldly before the throne of God, the Father (Hebrews 4:16). To come ‘boldly” means that we can freely speak to God about all that is on our hearts and receive His mercy for our situation.

Time to Change or Shape History

Jesus died on the Cross (3:00 P.M) during the eighth prayer watch. Moreover, He went through six hours of torture and suffering for the deliverance of mankind and the world.  History was changed forever when Christ died. Because of His death, Jesus became our Blood Covenant with God and triumphed over hell, death and the grave. After His resurrection, Jesus Christ gave us the power to experience the same victory as He did. Therefore, pray for deliverance during this watch and rejoice that the Blood of Jesus cleanses you from all sin (1 John 1:7 ).
