Topic: BREAKING THE LADDERS OF DARKNESS
Text: Matthew 24:28, John 14:30, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
Minister: Dr. Daniel Olukoya (G.O. MFM Worldwide)

We are listening to this very short message, which will go with us into the new year. It is a highly prophetic meeting, so it will be a tragedy if you miss the prayers into 2024.

The prayers are what we will start praying after we enter the year. It is important, because of the nature of the year, to ensure that you participate in the prayers in the new year.

Certainly, if you belong to any of these 7 categories, do not make the mistake of not participating in the prayer that we are going to start praying in 2024:

If you are here and you are listening to me and the whole of 2023, you were caged by satanic prophets who drained you, wasted your time and money on fake and useless prophecies, and held you in bondage.
If, all through this year, you could not remember any moment of celebration or breakthrough, do not make the mistake of leaving. At least I am doing my own function by advising you.
You are from a polygamous home. You must participate in the 70 prayers we are going to start praying in the new year.
Maybe this year, you were kidnapped, or a hypnotic power was used on you.
If you are here and you are a firstborn who has not been finding your feet,
If you are here and the whole of this year, it is like your business was put in the graveyard; do not allow an extension into the coming year. Your participation is very crucial to confronting that year.
If you are here and it is very clear to you that the enemy does not want you to marry or does not want your children to marry, make sure that you pray these prayers we are going to start.
Listen to me very carefully. I am reading three scriptures very carefully, which was something that happened this year and had a lot of people in disarray.

For the enemy to come against you and have an all-round success at attacking you, then there must be a ladder. It is good for us to pray these things out.

Matthew 24:28 (KJV): “For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.”

That is, it is when the corpses are there that they attract the vultures. The vultures will not come there if there are no corpses on ground. Those corpses on the ground represent the ladders attracting the vultures.

I see a woman listening to me now; they did not want you to see today, but you did. Those who are still planning that they will not leave you alone, before we leave this place, they shall be massively disgraced! In the name of Jesus.

John 14:30 (KJV): “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.”

The devil came, brought his scanning machine and x-ray machine to see where he could climb into the life of Jesus, but found nothing. Once these ladders are not broken and the enemy comes in, they build something called a stronghold.

The presence of that stronghold is a disaster if we do not pull it down. That is why 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 is a scripture I recommend that we all memorise.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV): “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

The destiny of strongholds is that they must be pulled down. But it is the ladders that start. Once you do not break that bridge, they cross over and graduate to the stronghold level. Sometimes it is at the stronghold level that people come for deliverance. But if there were no ladders, they would not get there.

I have seen many things in my life that, if I begin to tell you, you will not believe. I have seen someone who was born with a female reproductive organ, and there was no problem until somebody proposed to her, and then a male organ began to grow out. I have seen a talking pregnancy.

I have seen a woman menstruating maggots. I have seen four children, but the father is a spirit. Nobody could identify their father, but they have a mother. I have seen a man with a PhD who, if he slaps his head, cockroaches will come out of it. I have seen a professor who got wedded to a corpse in the cemetery. It was one week to the wedding, and this strange woman died, so he was forced to marry the dead woman. All these strange happenings happen when there is a satanic point of contact or an open door.

Do you have a satanic point of contact in your life? Do you have an open door there? They must be destroyed before we get into the new year. A point of contact is:
-Anything that gives dark powers easy access into your life. 
-Anything that allows the enemy to continue to operate, despite all your efforts to stop them. 
-Anything in somebody’s life that makes it difficult for the enemy to leave.
An area where the enemy wants to hide. 
An open door in a person’s life, which is an attitude or behaviour of sin or habit that allows the enemy to do what he wants.
When you have opened the doors to the enemy, open doors can be removed by repentance and spiritual discipline because your habit, your sin, and your attitude are open doors. They are different from ladders, but the points of contact can only be destroyed by deliverance and warfare prayers.

Unfortunately, the enemy has made so many strongholds in people’s lives, and the Bible says that they must be pulled down. 
What is a stronghold?

A stronghold is a territory that is not easily accessible and that is difficult to attack. Once the enemy gets in, he begins to build a stronghold, and so it is difficult to get them out. 
A position of power in a person’s life. 
A fortress of the enemy. 
A military language. 
A place where the enemy is entrenched. 
Invisible structures erected by the enemy to disturb people’s lives. 
In this meeting, as we enter 2024, we have to:

Pull down the strongholds. 
Eliminate the points of contact. 
Change our lifestyle so that any door we have opened to the enemy this year, like anger, adultery, fornication, or lying, will be closed.
I do not want you to enter the new year with a stronghold, with a satanic point of contact, or with an open door of darkness, and then the person begins to wonder why his prayers are not answered or what is happening.

I know a brother, that anytime a good thing was coming his way, a day before that breakthrough, he would have a dream where they fed him palm wine, and sometimes he would even taste it on his lips when he woke up. Everything he would do the next day was a failure.

He was, first of all, attending a church where they do not believe that there are enemies and that the devil has no power.

So he took it lightly until one day, to his wedding, he had that dream. On the way to the wedding the next day, the vehicle bringing him and the best man stopped working. So they decided to continue with a motorbike. On that motorbike, a vehicle passed through them and poured dirty water on his white suit.

What could they do now? They quickly entered a neighbour’s place, and since he and the best man were about the same size, they swapped suits. He was still trying to approach the church by motorbike when a vehicle hit the motorbike, and he fell into the gutter. The palm wine was the point of contact. It was when he got to MFM that we began to explain to him that he had come from a family where they worship “Ogun,” the god of iron, which they worship with palm wine and all kinds of things. He had to break that foundational pattern.

I am praying for somebody here in this meeting: Any bondage that wants to escort you into 2024 shall die now! in the name of Jesus.
