Let us read Daniel 10:1-7; 12-14; 20-21
[1] In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. The message [was] true, but the appointed time [was] long; and he understood the message, and had understanding of the vision. [2] In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. [3] I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. [4] Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that [is,] the Tigris.
Let us go to verse [12] Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. [13] But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. [14] Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision [refers] to [many] days yet [to come].
Verse 20, Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. [21] But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.
Today, I have come to join a resistance with anyone who is tired of delays in his/her life. The scripture says, resist the devil and he will free from you [James 4:7]. I came to tell you that delays are not denials. Child of God, I have fasted a lot, but I have never fasted off the lotion. Daniel 10:3[NLT] says All that time I had eaten no rich food. No meat or wine crossed my lips, and I used no fragrant lotions until those three weeks had passed. The word of the LORD says that Daniel changed the strategy and went to the rive r[Tigris]… Fasting and prayer alone may not give you a breakthrough if the Holy Spirit is not involved. Verse [5] says, I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist [was] girded with gold of Uphaz.
In the presence of the Holy Spirit, there is supernatural operations. When Daniel continued to stay in the presence of God, an angel appeared to him, and began to explain to him what had happened in the spiritual realm because the LORD had already handed over Daniel’s package.
God has never failed to deliver, child of God. Some of you have ten thousand packages waiting for you, but the problem for your delay is the principality called the prince of Persia. This prince doesn’t come to destroy the package but to contend with it. Daniel was praying for the package, but he did not know what was happening in the spiritual realm.
The scripture says in Romans 8:26, Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. That is why at the river, Daniel encountered a breakthrough because the Spirit [Holy Spirit] had to intervene for him. I am here to say to you today, that any prayer that has been delayed by the contender, Angel Michael has intervened. Child of God, Ephesians 6:12 is about to come to pass in your life. Angel Michael has been dispatched to contend with the contender. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. Luke 10:19 states, Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The enemy may have power, but you child of God has got the Authority. We stand on the authority in the word of God, and we speak to the spirit of delays; we pull down every stronghold in our lives. Now pull down every stronghold that has been holding your back…pull it down.
I decree and declare a season of delayed prayers coming to existence. The contender has been contended. Everyone who had hidden your stuff is bringing it back to you. The contender is contended too. People are about to come to you and say, we had held your stuff but when we saw the Angel coming to us, here is your stuff. The contender has walked away. There are no more delays. At the river, you are about to have your stuff. We dispatch the archangel to contend our contenders.
As I conclude: I want to welcome you at the river, where the spirit intercedes for us with groaning. I decree and declare, an era of supernatural defense over your life. I decree and declare supernatural intervention in your life. May the angel descend with your packages. The contenders have been contended. Just release the anointing of Michael the archangel, and wage war. There is an invention coming against your problems, delayed marriages, delayed child births, delayed building of houses…. We declare financial independence. We declare weddings and babies to you who are married.
We believe you have been blessed with this message.
