Thanks to Sister Maggie from Ontario Canada. Its great to know, and I am not surprised that Elisha Goodman, my good friend and Ezinearticles.com colleague in the school of midnight watches, who shares the same revelation with me on the subject of the battle of the gate is leading his holy troop to storm the gate of 2010 with us.
After Maggie’s comment pointing to that fact, I went searching and found out that Elisha has already assembled prayer points to handle the battle of the gate, so here you go, I am republishing his methodical prayers here for you who are hungry and ready to burst that gate open in the next few hours.
There are 3 basic fundamentals that you need to arm yourself with, as we prepare to crossover into the new year 2010.
Here’s the VERY first one. And you need to apply it diligently at the “gate” i.e. midnight December 31, 2009. If you’re ready, let’s go…
We’ll open this section with a short prayer. Please just close your eyes where you are now and take this singular prayer point with fire in your spirit:
“O LORD, open my spiritual understanding in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
We’ll take off by looking at the popular story of the ten virgins. In Matthew 25:1-10 we read:
“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.”
I believe we are all familiar with this story. Two phrases are of particular interest to us here:
(i) at midnight there was a cry made…
(ii) and the door was shut…In summary…
Midnight is the time when “doors” are shut in the spirit. It is also a time when a “satanic cry” is made against people by the evil powers of their ancestral lineage.
Please hold these thoughts while we back up to Psalm 24:7-10:
“Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.”Again we see the word “doors” but this time…
Instead of being shut, the door (and gates) are being commanded to “open.” Putting what we’ve read so far together, we arrive at the inescapable conclusion that doors can be opened and shut in the in the spiritual realm.
In many places in the Bible, we come across doors and gates at the entrance to: houses (Acts 3), camps (Exodus. 32), prisons (Acts 12), temples (Acts 3), beaches (Nahum 2), palaces (Esther 5), cities (1 Kings 17).
At the gates of the city, the most important decisions affecting the lives of citizens were made. Courts and meetings were held there. Also, people were judged, and while some were punished, deserving citizens were honored at the gate. Even commercial transactions were conducted at the gate.
It was no coincidence therefore that in times of war, the enemy’s first point of concentration was at the gate.
What’s this got to do with the New Year 2010?
You can liken the new year to a well-fortified city with a strong gate. The gate is the entry point into the city.
For the purpose of this conversation… The door or gate of the New Year is currently shut. It is supposed to swing open IN THE SPIRIT at 12 midnight on December 31st.
Notice that I used the words, “supposed”… that is what should happen in an ideal situation… The reality, however, is that for most people, the gate of the New Year never opens to them spiritually… it remains tightly shut against them year after year, often without their knowledge!
Why is this so? The Bible reveals that there are invisible “horsemen setting themselves in array at the gate” (Isaiah 22:7). And here’s the SECRET:
The entrance or gate to the New Year is the midnight hour of December 31.
The truth remains that this gate is the point of the hottest spiritual battle you can think of. Whoever takes control of the gate in the crucial first few seconds of the New Year determines what happens throughout the entire year!
What I’m sharing with you is well-understood by the children of darkness. No wonder our Lord Jesus once said (in Luke 16:8b): …for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
At the critical midnight hour of December 31st, the children of this world (darkness) that Jesus is referring to here will be busy issuing evil prophetic decrees to capture the entire year (and shut the gates of the next 12 months against ignorant people).
At this exact same time, most modern day believers will be dancing and partying the night away!
Unknown to most people, at this critical hour of midnight when the new year is being “delivered” (think of a woman in labor), whatever decrees are being made (good or bad) have the capacity to alter the destiny of an individual, family or nation.
You remember how many prophecies of greatness that Christians usually receive at the beginning of every year?
How many of them ever come to pass?
You know why?At the most critical first few seconds of the New Year, the enemy gets busy “shutting the gate” against people, using words anointed with satanic power!
No wonder:
• Doors of opportunity remained shut throughout the year.
• The heavens refuse to open and pour out the expected blessings.
• Divine benefits refused to manifest…
• Prayers went unanswered… leaving many believers scratching their heads.If you keep records of these prophecies every year (like I do) you’ll realize that most of them never come to pass. It doesn’t matter how many great men or women of God prophesied.
Why?
Because most Christians allow the enemy to take control of the GATES when it mattered most…
… at the critical moment of transition… when most people are in slumber.You see, in the spiritual realm, just one second’s delay can cost a person an entire year. Like the prayer points you will see shortly, if you were to pray them at any other time of the year, you won’t achieve the same results.
Thankfully, the Lord has not left us ignorant. He has given us a battle plan. If we execute on this plan diligently…
These 90 minutes AT THE GATE can save us 9 months of frustration, disappointment and sorrow.

Shortly after I finished all the sessions on time “the battle of the Gate” and I left church services I drove up to my sister’s house I got there about 1:00 AM she insulted me with along with my other sister telling me that I was not in church that I was getting drunk and maybe prostituting myself and that New Years no church is opened that I had abandoned my kids (ages 12 and 11 whom did not want to attend church and wanted to stay at my sister’s not minding that I was going to be at church at midnight because they knoe I wanted t be praising the Lord-) my sister was yelling at me when I got in, she say all kinds of things the situation got ugly and I too was raising my voice then I cool down as my other sister slapped me on the face I threw something at her and next thing they attacked me. My mother was telling me hit me too hit your mother…it was awful my face is bruised fat lip black eye and scrapes.
Can someone tell me why this happened?
Why did I get attacked one hr after church?
After all this prayers why?? Im so hurt emotionally and physically. I cant sleep its about 5 hrs after the attack my head hurts. I cannot blame God I prayed with faith but my own blood did this. One of them was also chocking me with her thumb on my finger and they say if you camefrom church why dont you have God with you. You liar. … 🙁 I never expected this ever.
veronica, i congratulate you. you should have been more worried if nothing happened and they embraced you. the violent reaction is not from them, it is the devil that you just divorced who became jealous with your new marriaqge to JESUS. he has to use somebody to inflict physical injury, your mother and your sisters were just ready tools in the hands of the powers of your father’s house and powers of your mother’s house which became enraged and threatened that you are saying bye bye to the bondage and satanic chains of the past. don’t forget that it our turn of victory dance, new songs and glorious restorations, begin to dance and sing unto JESUS, congratulations once again.
my relationship with them will never be the same I have cuts on my face when I called the prayer line that prayer warrior told me I should call the police and we prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me if it should be done but my daughter said yes and no and then I thought that it would create more problems, this sister of mine were talking bad about me as I was in church and premeditated not letting me inside and offered my kids wine and champagne on the countdown. I am so shocked. I wanted God and angels to have prevented this. My daughter said “mommy think about how Jesus died on the cross he was nailed” I felt same pain.
I’m a bit comfused but I still love God
Veronica this is a new year just believe God’s will is your portion pray that God reveal the secret of your problem so you can deal with it the spiritual way. May God help you to find a lasting solution to this problem in the name of Jesus. AMEN
sister Veronica, i want to thank god for your faith and i challenge u in the name of Jesus that this is your testing time with the lord….after reading your comments i prayed 4u and the spirit lead to tell u that read Isaiah chpt 16, please havve faith in God and forgive your mum and sister and move on in your life as Lord jesus is with you so why would you care about others, as no one will carry us through only Lord Jesus as his words say, pray for those who use and bless those who curse u…..so pray for your mum n sister and m sure in the name of jesus they will be saved and touch by the spirit. who can be against you when lord jesus is with you, there is no weapon made against u which will proper my sister………..give the battle to our miracle lord jesus and he will do the rest…u move on pls……with love and blessing………i am praying for you…..from the islands of Fiji…………….
Thank you everyone! I have prayed for them I forgiven them through prayer and I am moving on because the gates of blessings for me and my kids are opened I have so much faith on the Lord and I hope that my kids forget seeing the way my sisters attacked me I also hope that God speaks to them and somehow he prooves them that I really wanted to be with them on New Years but God comes first before anything in my life, I did not want to be getting drunk with my sisters and my mom nor did I want to be with any man (otherwise I would have stayed in my own house and send my kids to their father’s house)but I with all my heart wanted to be in church because I also wanted to thank the Lord for helping me out all the 9 yrs I been a single parent >he has walked with me all along.
Thank you for your prayer and responses to all I thank God that you my brother and sisters in spirit have helped me many thanks from Toronto, Canada.
