Vigils are often times of great spiritual intervention. They release angels to come and help us.
Note that there is a vigil of Satan – “…while men slept, the enemy came and sow tares”. The power of Satan is known as the power of darkness. Psalm 91 we often read describes it as “terror by night and pestilence that walketh in darkness”
