There are some prayers we need to pray on the first day of this month. Three things are needed for that prayer:
Number one is HOLY ANGER, get angry in your spirit; number two is HOLY CRYING, after the order of the blind Bartimaeus who did not pray his prayer but cried his prayer; the third thing you need is DESPERATE PRAYING, you need to roar in desperate praying, to lay a foundation for this month, that your enemy will see and flee.
It is dangerous to keep quiet in this kind of prayer. It is dangerous to reduce your volume; start it with aggression and end it with aggression. Strike when the iron is hot. Don't negotiate, not in a day like this.
*"Father we are here tonight, we know that blessings abound where you reign, and those who are in captivity are set free. You said the voice of salvation and rejoicing shall be in the house of the righteous. Father we thank you because you hear our prayer: your word say, 'thou that heareth prayer unto thee shall all flesh come'; therefore as many as will raise up their voice tonight, on this first strategic day, of the year and of the month; father release your special angel to attend to the needs of everyone who will cry out; let there be no one who will leave this program with a plastic experience, in the name of Jesus.* Amen!
We have 14 prayers to pray in a few minutes. *"I pray now that the Lord will visit anyone praying."* Amen!

16. Holy Ghost, disgrace the laughter of my enemies, in the name of Jesus.
17. I shall arise, and never go down, in the name of Jesus.
18. The battle, of you shall hear testimony, but you shall not share testimony, die in the name of Jesus.
19. Now, begging to speak into the womb of this month, every good thing you want this month, begin to prophesy it upon your life. In this month of perfection, the Lord should perfect everything that concerns you. Amen!
Let's have our seats God bless you, and listen to me very very carefully.
THE MYSTERIOUS POWER OF HOLY SILENCE: That is, when God commands you to hold your peace. Let's read some scriptures quickly: in Exodus chapter 14 verse 14, it says, *"The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace"*
In the book of Isaiah chapter 30 verse 15, a very key verse for today:
*Isaiah 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.*
Now in Ecclesiastics chapter three verses one and seven:
*Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:*
*A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;*
Beloveth, there is a warfare that is won not by shouting but by stillness. There is a battle that is normally settled not by argument but by silence. So, your silence can become your greatest weapon. The enemy knows this, and so he provokes you to speak when you are really not to speak: the enemy will provoke you to speak when God has commanded you to keep quiet.
He will agitate your spirit, he will send messenger to you to pull words out of your mouth. And if he is able to pull those words out of your mouth, the words you are now saying will abort your miracles. This is because the wrong word at the wrong time, can open a door that God has closed for years. It can open the door of bad things again.
Before we begin to talk about being silent, we must understand why silence is very hard.
The major reason why silence is hard for many people is that the flesh, our flesh loves to explain himself. The flesh is very defensive, it loves to defend itself. The flesh, loves to have the final words in an argument. The flesh forget that nobody will give any award for winning an argument. The flesh always wants the other party to surrender.
When people misunderstand you, the flesh is tempted to want to start speaking, and start complaining. When a situation looks impossible, the flesh wants to panic, and be shouting; and that panic becomes a praise and worship section in the camp of the enemies. This is because, they want you to panic, and now you are panicking.
The enemies knows that when you panic and you are in great fear, faith jumps out. That is why faith and fear, are opposites. That is why you heard Jesus saying, fear not, only believe. Once faith jumps out fear comes in.
Now hear me Beloveth, every word you speak in the flesh, is an ammunition you are handing out to your enemy.
I was in Paris in 1989 and somebody came for prayer. The place she worked she was not promoted. She now came home, somebody gave a magic portion. He said, "you need to spoil some people and get them out of that place, this thing I am giving to you, when you bite it, then you will go and provoke somebody, and any negative things the person will be saying to you will backfire on them." You see, the people who he looks for their troubles will not know they are cursing themselves.
In Proverbs chapter 29 verse 11, look at what this scripture says:
*A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.*
Someone will say, "let me speak my mind, I must speak my mind," and on and on, the Bible calls you a fool. A fool uttereth all his mind, but a wise man keepeth it till afterwards. He will still talk but not then. A fool releases everything but a wise man holds the trigger.
There is power is what you do not say. The person who mastered silence master their destiny. The words are like money, the more you spend the less valuable they become.
Samson spoke when he should keep silent, and Delilah had what she needed to destroy him. How can somebody come to a man and say "Tell me the secret of your power, so that I can torment you and destroy you?" And you are talking!
What enabled Joseph to have some suffering in the house of his father? He would still have achieved his destiny without being thrown into the pit. He opened his mouth and spoke too much about his dreams. When he knew they are not happy about his dreams he kept on saying it.
The ten spies that were send to investigate the land of Canaan, instead of them to trust God, they talked, and talked to cause their generation to die in the wilderness.
So, careless words can cause destiny failure. Words spoken in anger can close the door that God has even opened for you. Words spoken in fear can cancel a miracle on the way.
This is why angel Gabriel made Zechariah dumb and deaf. When the angel said he would have a child, the first statement he made in response was, "how is that possible?" The angel silence him so that he can have his miracle.
Words spoken in bitterness can open the door for the enemy to attack you. The words spoken prematurely can expose what God has covered.
The Bible make it loud and clear, it says, *"death and life are in the power of the power of the tongue."* Your mouth can kill you, your mouth can make you alive. Your words are very powerful, they can heal they can hurt, they can build they can destroy.
Beloveth, listen to me this evening, it's a new month that is why I'm telling you this; I don't want you to lose your breakthroughs and your miracles, in this month of perfection.
You see, many battles, many regret, many broken relationships, many broken marriages, broken friendships, have resulted from speaking at the wrong time.
God want his children not only to know what to say, but also to know when to remain silent.
There is a time to run, there is also a time to fight; if you fight when you are supposed to run, you are in trouble; when you speak when you are supposed to be silent, there will be problem.
The greatest weapon God has given to man is this tongue. The same tongue can bless and curse. The same mouth that can call down fire can also invite trouble.
Many believers have lost battles, many believers have lost opportunities, many believers have lost blessings, many believers have lost breakthroughs, many believers have lost relationships, because they spoke when they should have remained silent.
Beloveth, there is a time to pray aggressively, there is a time to prophecy, there is a time to speak the word, there is also a time to just keep quiet.
Satan sets traps for believers through careless words; every wise child of God must learn the mystery of godly silence. It says, there is a time to keep silent, there is a time to speak up.
As this year is going to an end, we are already in the middle of it, we need to embrace the mystery of godly silence.
Godly silence is the ability to control your tongue, and refused to speak when the speaking will bring more trouble, sin, confusion, spiritual lust, or it will remove your peace of mind.
Godly silence is not weakness, it is not fear, it is not doubt; but it is wisdom under the control of the Holy Spirit.
This is a serious matter! Look at what the Psalmist says in Psalm 39 verse 1; don't forget this scripture for whatever reason. The Psalmist is a prayer warrior, but he knows when to keep quiet. Many of us don't know when to keep quiet, many of us don't know when to talk.
Many of us, when the Holy Spirit is saying, keep quiet...keep quiet....don't respond....keep quiet....keep quiet; but he would respond, but they are provoking me; the Holy Spirit would keep saying, keep quiet....keep quiet....keep quiet!
*Psalms 39:1: I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.*
David recognized that when wicked people are present, there can be a temptation to speak rashly, to reveal too much, to react in anger, therefore he chose to guard his words.
I was teaching at a pastors conference some years back, and I told them saying, "Pastors, if God revealed to you, that somebody is a witch, don't make the mistake of going to confront them, you are a witch." Of course they will deny it, but they will quickly transfer the file to another witch, and the affliction continues.
Nevertheless, when God say, this one is a witch, observe the person, observe her friends, observe the people they are close to, then you will be able to identify everybody in that coven; so that you will be able to know what kind of prayer to pray.
There is a related passage, look at verse 2 of Psalm 39:
*Psalms 39:2: I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.*
Look at that scripture, it is talking about keeping silence, when there is an evil time.
The book of Amos chapter 5 verse 13, see what the scripture say here too, so that you can understand what we are saying here today. It is not everything that answers to prayer; but many things answer to wisdom, and to maintain personal control.
*Amos 5:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.*
The Bible says, *He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life,* Proverbs 13:3. What separate very powerful spiritual people from the powerless, is not what they are saying, but it is what they don't say. So, you understand, by choosing not to speak, when you are being provoked, they are annoying you, they are doing all kinds of things, and the Holy Spirit is saying, keep quiet, don't talk.... keep quiet....don't talk
✍️ The first condition to keep silent is KEEP SILENCE WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY. The Bible says, *a fool uttereth all his mind.* Angry words causes damage that cannot be repaired. When emotions are very high, wisdom is very low. Many people have destroyed marriages, ministries, destinies, because they spoke in anger. Anger is a bad counselor. The words spoken in anger, can create wounds, that cannot be healed.
Moses spoke rashly in anger just once, against those people, and because of the anger he, could not enter the promised land. This is a serious matter.
I told you the story of that man who went to the mountain to do 7 days dry fast, and he told the wife, "I'm coming back on Tuesday, so prepare pap (ogi) for me." The man fasted for 7 days and came back home, and madam was not at home. No pap, no ogi, nothing prepared. After some time madam came back. "Where are you coming from, didn't I tell you that I'm going to the mountain, and that I'm breaking my fasting today, where is the pap I asked you to prepare?" The woman said, "Didn't the angel prepare pap for you when you are coming down?" He got angry and gave the woman a dirty slap. The woman landed on the floor and was dead.
The man broke his fasting in the police station, where he went to report that he had killed his wife. That was a man who went to the mountain to pray, and because he failed to control his anger and his tongue.
Anger is an expensive luxury: anger reveals our true nature. Anger and temper will shorten your life. Your anger is always a weapon for your enemy. *He who angers you conquers you* Anger is temporal madness. If you go to bed angry, the devil becomes your bed fellow that night. Whether you like it or not you are as big as what make you angry. An angry person opens his mouth and closes his mouth, anger manages everything that comes out badly. All anger starts with insanity and then ends in regret.
Anger is like the fire department trying to fight fire with fire. The mystery is this, the emptier the pot, the quicker the boiling; so angry people are really empty people; because if the pot is filled with water, it will take time for the things to be boiling, and be boiling over.
Silence is golden, when you are angry. Anger is like fire, it consumes everything in its path, including the person feeling it. When you speak from anger, you say things you cannot take back; you make decisions you will regret; you will burn bridges that took years to build.
In the other way, when you choose silence over your anger, you give yourself the greatest gift possible: it means you recognized that your angry words will not achieve anything, it will not even achieve what you want it to achieve. You want the person to change, then you are addressing the person in anger, you are not likely to get the person to change, it won't make you feel better, it won't solve the problem you want it to solve. It will only create a new one.
As a pastor for many years, every relationship I have seen destroyed, every opportunity I have watched vanished, every reputation I have seen crumbled, they all have one thing in common, *the word spoken in anger:*
Therefore, develop a golden rule, *when you are angry don't talk.* If you want to demonstrate anger, do only anger you do during prayers. When you feel anger rising, go silent: that silence may save your life; it may prevent you from want to go into resignation when you are not supposed to resign. Many people resigned from their job because of anger, later they are regretting. To get another job like that is now impossible. If you cool down that anger, it can stop you from ending relationship that just needed understanding. It can keep you from making useless decisions that would have caused you everything.
One time never to speak but to remain silent is, when you are angry. Once the enemy knows that it is easy to catch you with anger, then, the enemy will keep using it against you. But when the enemy find out you are resistant to it, that you don't get angry, they will not be able to use that weapon, so they will let you go. This is where we are stopping today, bow down your head where you are, with all eyes closed.
PRAYER POINT AFTER THE MESSAGE:
Battles against my next level, your time is up, die in the name of Jesus.
_*HALLELUJAH, JESUS IS LORD!*_
