And So To War!
What do you do when the enemy strikes? You go to War — Spiritual War!
When Satan and his minions attempt to inflict his ‘rob, kill, and destroy’ policies upon you, then you apply your authority in Christ Jesus and His shed blood upon him.
It’s called Spiritual Warfare and it’s all about enforcing Christ’s victory at Calvary.
When Jesus taught us to pray, “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”, He knew something then that we have to learn for ourselves today.
Jesus knew the Authority given to Him and that this Authority would be passed on to us.
He knew that, if and when we appropriated that Authority, we would heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, and so on. “
“Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” (Matthew 6:10 ) is a reality waiting for us to enforce through Holy Spirit –– His is the power; ours is the faith and belief.
I believe The LORD is calling us to spiritual warfare.
I believe this coming Shavuot is a seminal moment for The Church.
I have seen visions of tongues of fire, just like the originals, falling on people today.
Can we, in unity of mind and purpose, cry out to our Father to send His fire once again for the purpose of once more seeing His will done on earth as it is in heaven?
To reiterate those vastly over quoted words from 2 Chronicles,
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14.
We must mean it this time — we must be obedient to The Holy Spirit’s leading — we must be prepared to sacrifice.
However, if we do, and the fire of God falls on us as it did in the upper room, then we can expect this year to be a Shavuot none of us will ever forget.

He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them!

The corruption of Calendars is a problem. We follow the Gregorian calendar in yhe U.S. and were told Pentecost was May 19th, but I saw no tongues of fire and was saddened. Then it occurred to me to figure out the Julian calendar, in place at the time of Christ. It turns out the Easter Orthodox churches are still following the Julian calendar and Pentecost this year will be celebrated on June 23rd. Oh Lord! Please don’t pass us by!!
We follow the Jewish calendar and Shavuot or Pentecost is on June 12th
