The Heartbeat of Warrior Nations International Ministries: Evangelism!
I want to share with you the heart of Warrior Nations Intl. Ministries. Make no mistake about it, the heartbeat is souls! The very heartbeat of God is that no one should experience the torments of Hell. He does not want one person to go to Hell, so much that He gave His only Son! Everything WNIM has done has always centered around the “Great Commission”. We have seen many testimonies and miracles along the way, but they all followed the preaching of the good news of Jesus Christ!
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink and deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
For years we have targeted evangelism locally, statewide, nationally and internationally. We are celebrating eleven years of ministry in twelve nations and 58,300 decisions for the glory of God. This has always been a part of what God has called us to do. I’m not inclined to pick up snakes, but the apostle Paul put this scripture to work. (I pray I never have to get bit by a snake to believe this scripture … and I sure am not gonna go looking for a real snake to grab!) I’ve eaten food overseas many times and prayed to the Lord that I would not be harmed, in accord with this passage. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t! I’ve seen the Lord do amazing things in the context of these verses many times, all centered around the preaching of the good news of Jesus Christ overseas and in the United States.
Every time I have experienced “signs and wonders” they have caused me to worship Jesus even more. The problem many have with this is when people start following the signs and wonders, instead of Jesus. When this off-balance cycle occurs it will cause a person to become what I call being “spiritually bipolar”. Gifts of the Spirit without the fruit of the Spirit are a byproduct of this dysfunction that is occurring across the Body of Christ. People who are blindly focused on the gifts of the Spirit can fall into error, and because of this many don’t want anything to do with signs and wonders. The fruit of the Spirit will remain forever, but the gifts will fade away one day (see 1 Corinthians 13:8). Where does this leave us?
Make no mistake about it, we are living in the last days, and the Spirit of God is being poured out all over the world on multitudes with undeniable signs and wonders. What do we do? Just because maybe you have never experienced it yourself, don’t speak against it. Never speak against something you don’t understand. If it’s truly the Lord, it will stand. But if it’s not of God, then it won’t. I don’t understand all I’ve seen, but I can find a multitude of Biblical references that validate what happened and that it should be happening. You can’t find any specific text that say these things don’t happen anymore, but an array of verses that say they do and should.
Warrior Nations has long sought to bring a balance to this in the Body of Christ, but our mission is simply to preach the Good News. What is the good news? The word “saved” in the New Testament used in John 3:16-17 means, “to be made whole”. Yes, eternal life is part of the package, but so are healing, deliverance, peace and love! I believe people will experience different things in the process of the new birth. These experiences are based around what they need to bring them to a place of being made whole. Most people haven’t gotten involved with the occult, and many people haven’t had as a dramatic testimony as mine simply because they weren’t as messed up as I was. I believe God meets you at the point of your need. It might be a need for healing, or peace or encouragement, or provision or deliverance from something, but He meets us the same. Thank God He meets us! He meets us at the cross. That’s the place where divinity meets humanity.
Please keep us in prayer. We will be preaching a West Africa World Harvest crusade Sept 13-23rd in Ghana and Nigeria. We still need to raise $1,900 for the trip, and we are looking for quite a few things to take place on the planning side among the host churches in Ghana. Stand with Warrior Nations as we are believing for 100,000 souls in our ministry for the glory of God!
WNIM is praying for new people to make a commitment of new monthly partnership in order to meet the monthly budget!
If you have never given to Warrior Nations, or taken a step of partnership, would you consider taking the challenge?
We are on the front lines and need your help.
If you are a pastor, or leader in a church, would you consider factoring in the evangelistic outreaches of Warrior Nations as part of your outreach budget? We will send regular updates of the details of decisions made for the Lord. We do not have a set fee to come and share with your church. We believe in the old fashioned way of working with churches, which is having a relationship, not a business deal.
