Understanding the Eight Prayer Watches: The Sixth Prayer Watch (9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M.)

The sun is at its brightest during the sixth prayer watch. However, while Jesus Christ was dying on the cross, darkness fell across the land until about three in the afternoon (Mark 15:25, Matthew 27:45). This was the darkest period known in human history. However, in spite of this, God’s divine love for mankind shone bright. The blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ redeemed mankind and restored his relationship with God, the Father.

The Apostle Paul says that we should be thankful to God because, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, He “hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins,” (Colossians 1:13, KJV). In light of this, the fifth prayer watch is a time to reflect on the power of the Cross. Because of Christ’s work on the cross, we have direct access to God and His benefits and blessings.

Time to See God’s Promises Fulfilled

It is time for the Word of the Lord to be fulfilled in your life, during this prayer watch. Additionally, this is the time to receive all of the resources needed for every project God has assigned you to fulfill (Exodus 12:35-36). The Israelites used everything that they had to build the Tabernacle in the wilderness (Exodus 25–30; 35–40). Pray for the provisions to accomplish whatever God wants you to do.
