Warrior Nations Missions Alert!
In 2010 Warrior Nations started an initiative for leaders called, Warrior Nations Fellowship. This network of leaders brought together Joel’s Army leaders around the world for connection, encouragement, networking and discipleship. As I began to travel around the nation and the globe to preach revivals and missions, I found a hunger for leaders to connect to an end time mission for the church. We started to see the Holy Spirit develop this network around the same passion and mission WNIM began with.
“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
At this current time WNF has affiliates in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and America. We conduct World Harvest Outreaches all over the world, with Pakistan and New Zealand as important target nations. A WNF affiliate is one of WNIM’s international partners through formal agreements.
The Indian WNF leader has 215 home churches and an orphanage WNF supports monthly covering the food bill. The stateside WNF affiliate outreaches are in NY, NC, SC, FL, TN GA, and PA. We are developing urban outreaches in Atlanta, church planting in NY, FL and PA. The Ghana affiliate missions are 3 mission hubs outside of Accra. The Nigerian affiliate outreaches are different. We have leaders in southern Nigeria, but in the capital something very different is
happening.
Nigeria is the most Christian persecuted nation in the world, as of 2021. Over 71,000 Christians have been killed in the past 13 years. I spoke with the journalist Lara Logan in October and she has been covering this genocide. She challenged 100’s of world leaders to do something at the recent Liberty University CEO event, “Networking the Nations”. I spoke with one of the governors in north Nigeria at this event, as well, about corresponding with the government about
our efforts.
Bishop David Ina, WNF’s Nigerian affiliate, is based in the capital Abuja. He has sent 4000 missionaries from southern Nigeria into the north region in the past 23 years. That’s right. 4000 end time missionaries. He conducts 4 retreats a year to plan with these missionaries and recalibrate there assignments if needed. It takes these missionaries rotating at different times to get all of them through these retreats. As he has done this Christian service, local Muslims sympathetic to the north have caused him great problems. They accused him of being a terrorist, which caused an investigation that went all the way up to the DOJ and Interpol. All because he was a Christian working to send missionaries to this impacted area. Our offices were actually contacted by the DOJ during this investigation.
Please keep us in prayer, as we are working very intentionally to support and equip our affiliates to continue this important work in Nigeria. I will be in New Zealand at the revival summit with Pioneer ministry in November. Remember WNIM during this time of travel and WHO outreach efforts. Thank you for all of those who support this ministry with their monthly donations and prayers!

Word of Warning Against Division in the Body of Christ
As I was driving down the highway recently, I began to speak to the Lord. Before one word was spoken, he stopped me. He said, “There is an attack coming to the Body of Christ that will bring in a spirit of division.” The enemy is sending an attack on speaking in tongues that will be a divider amongst My people.” As I began to pray over this word, the Holy Spirit provided a greater perception of the attack and strategy the enemy has been using to bring division into the church. For revival to be sustained and thrive there must be repentant hearts that unify the Body of Christ. Anytime the Holy Spirit has ever moved significantly in the earth realm, repentance and unification have been the catalysts for God to release His glory.
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:1-4. The enemy knows that when the church gets in “one accord”, heaven responds.
The release of the Glory of the Lord this year has been a significant advance in the church. God has gained more souls and more territory in such a short period of time. The Asbury revival is a key example of the global revival that God is pouring out all over. Not coincidently, a great division came against the church regarding the topic of woman pastors and then another from the topic of homosexual ministers in the church. While this is not a new strategy, it is telling that the enemy re-released them at this strategic time. The Holy Spirit gift of speaking in tongues is another prime target of division in the church that we as Spirit-filled believers must be ready to defend.
The book of Jude tells us, “3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness.” For the next fourteen verses Jude warns against this specific apostasy, which is “the abuse of grace”. He specifically mentions the act of homosexuality in this warning, and then Jude provides the church a divine strategy on how to contend against these things.
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” He told us to pray in tongues, walk in love towards people and hate the apostate teaching of cheap grace that has led to an apostate state of the church.
Many people within the church and many churches themselves have been divided on the topic of speaking in tongues. The people that do not understand this gift have disassociated themselves with those who do it and any type of function in the Body they have. The people who practice it come against those people who don’t with anger out of hurt and rejection. They won’t associate with those people in the Body who don’t speak in tongues and look down on them out of spiritual pride. Thus, the Body of Christ gets more deeply divided on a non-essential issue. We must remember, our salvation and core foundation does not depend upon the issue of speaking in tongues.
If you are in a church service where the pastor is preaching or worship is taking place and the Spirit of the Lord is upon you in the manifestation of speaking in tongues, please be mindful of a few things. One, if no interpretation comes through someone else, do not keep on speaking. You will become a distraction to the service, rather than the edification of the Body. On a Sunday morning service at a traditional church, new believers may be present that have no clue what is going on.
I conduct prayer gatherings all over the world, and I know in these settings at times prayer warriors will speak in tongues, and maybe a word of interpretation will come. The prayer warriors that are praying in the Spirit are standing in the gap on issues that only the Holy Spirit has knowledge of. That setting is fine because most attendees pray in the Spirit and understand what is happening. At a prayer gathering I held in December 2004, we all started weeping, praying in tongues and travailing in prayer. No one really understood what was taking place. This went on for two hours. We all left and knew the Holy Spirit had us standing in the gap for something big. At the same time as we were praying, the country of Indonesia was getting hit with a tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands of people. Praying in tongues allows you to tap into the Miraculous Realm in a powerful yet mysterious way. This gift is a powerful addition to your spiritual growth if you learn how to incorporate it into your life based on scripture and with balance. The devil fights the Body of Christ on this gift, especially if it is practiced out of scriptural context.
Many denominations have put out official statements recently changing their policy on forbidding its missionaries to speak in tongues. So many missionaries needed this powerful gift for their front-line work. An estimated fifty percent of them did speak in tongues, even when their denomination forbade it.
Due to this gift of the Holy Spirit being abused or out of order, speaking in tongues has become a point of contention in the Body of Christ. It is not always from those with a malicious spirit, it is out of a lack of understanding which leads to fear. Fear will fuel this divisive fight. Never come against something that you don’t understand! Stop to consider: What if you are fighting the very hand of God?

20 Year Ministry Update!
Dear Partner and Friend, September 30th 2022
Warrior Nations is celebrating twenty years of being a 501 c-3 nonprofit outreach ministry. Someone gave me and Christy a word when we first stated in ministry that we would have thirty years’ worth of ministry in five to seven years. Wow, were they right! God has been so faithful over these years. We have been able to conduct revivals all over the nation from coast to coast. The Lord has opened a door for us to make appearances on almost every Christian TV network. We have traveled to Central America, Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and the Caribbean many times, preaching the good news of Jesus Christ. The Lord enabled us to write 12 books with five different publishers. Two of these books went into 1200 Family Christian books stores across the nation, Barnes and Noble and Books-a-Million.
We have also been able to start four very significant outreaches. In 2007, World Harvest Outreaches, which are larger crusades and international outreaches, was birthed. In 2008 The One Hour Prayer Alliance was started. It is an international prayer group and holds prayer events on college campuses all over the nation and still prayers an hour a day every day at the prayer wall in the WNIM headquarters and has for over two years. In 2010 the Warrior Nation Fellowship, which is a ministerial network, came to pass. This network help start 45 ministries and churches and has had over 75 ministries and ministers connected to it over the years. In 2014 the i3 Ministry centers, which were in three states, were started and the Greenwood, SC location is where Warrior Nations main headquarters is located. All four are still very active and bringing body wide ministry.
We have seen God move the mountains and we have walked through the valleys. We have had times when we have thought we were born for such a time as this and we have had times when we thought God why are you allowing this to happen. From the very beginning the devil has tried to stop this ministry from carrying out its mission of sharing the gospel “from the neighbors to the nations” and raising up Joel’s Army. I can tell you stories of how right before, during or right after an outreach event the enemy would do something to “slow the go”. I’ve been detained twice overseas for preaching the Gospel and preached my way out of holding. I’ve been confronted by the Taliban, confronted by witches and confronted by religious leaders, as well. Everything I love has been hit at some point. My family, friends, finances and faith have been tested and tried. But I also need to tell you that I’ve seen the lame walk, the deaf hear, the blind see, the broken whole, the sick healed, the addict free, the hopeless hope and the lost saved. I’ve seen 100’s of devils come out of people and 100,000’s of people repent and come to the cross. There is nothing like seeing a person filled with the Spirit of Jesus Christ for the first time!
“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
I give God thanks for all! Somewhere in eternity God has a providential plan for everything that takes place in our life. God doesn’t wish or will evil to happen, but He works all things together for our good! I want to thank every person that has had a part in sending us, praying for us, sowing into trips or projects and simply supporting our family when we are home.
All of these things would have never happened without faithful prayer partners and financial partners. God has used you over the years to be a sense of encouragement and strength to help us keep going. Because of your partnership we all have a reward in Christ through these outreaches. We did it as a team and I wanted to thank you. As an expression of my gratitude we wanted to give you a prayer journal and pen. Prayer is the way to get victory and this ministry has been committed to the ministry of prayer all through these two decades. We simply say thank you! I believe the Lord is coming soon and now is the time for God’s people to be gathering the harvest for the King. While we are waiting on the Lord’s return We are committed to seeing the years ahead even more fruitful than the last twenty. Thank you in advance for standing with Warrior Nations Intl. Ministries to gather the harvest for our King.

Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
Dear Partners and Friends, July31 st , 2023
Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? Psalm 78:19
Many people are going through tough times in our nation, but I want you to
remember who your God is. He is able to cause water to flow out of a rock in
the desert. There is nothing short of impossible for God to do. Rehearse
God’s promises over your life and bind up the fiery darts that try to make
your agree with all the potential problems. God is going to do all He has
promised over your life!
What an awesome time to be serving Jesus Christ! God has done so much in
a short time. The New York City outreach was a powerful time of ministry.
One lady got set free from demonic oppression and the room temperature
changed 10 degrees at that very second. In Milwaukee the Holy Spirit gave a
word of knowledge about a woman whose son was incarcerated for man
slaughter only recently and was innocent and the Lord was working things
out. The woman jumped up right at the front of the staging area and
confirmed this. That set off hours of team ministry from area leaders. Many
were saved, healed and set free! John, my son, and I were able to drive
4500 miles, in 12 states and witness to many people in varies states
proclaiming the goodness of Jesus Christ. We got a chance to visit the Ark
Encounter, as well.
I want to give an update on the i3 ministry center in Greenwood, SC. In May
revival rivers have released and we are currently in our ninth week of
spontaneous meetings. People have been getting saved, healed, and
baptized in the Holy Spirit and water. People have been relocating from out
of state to be a part of this and the leadership team has doubled. It has
been one of the most powerful seasons at the center yet! We are gearing up
to go to Atlanta, Virginia and New Zealand in the months to come. Thank
you to all who give to this ministry. We are honored that you support the
work of Jesus taking place in WNIM. If you have never partnered with this
ministry, please prayerfully consider to become a monthly partner.
“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly, or of

abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may
have an abundance for every good work”2 Corinthians 9:7-8.

Mid Year 2023 Ministry Update!
Dear Partners and Friends, June 10th, 2023
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 4-7
There has been so much uncertainty and change in the societal norms take place over the past few years that It has caused much anxiety, fear, doubt and unbelief to cloud the perception of God’s promises over God’s people. Yes, we are living in challenging times, but God’s people have been here before. Even in times like this God has always come through. When the Israelites were in Egypt God made a way. When Ester stood in the gap for her generation, God made a way. Shall I remind you of David and his giant, Gideon and his army, Lazarus and his tomb, Jesus and His three and a half years of displaying God’s salvation, healing, provision and deliverance? Your anxiety levels are a direct reflection of your trust levels. If you do not have peace in an area of your life that is the area you are struggling to trust God in. God will perform every promise He has made in your life. Trust Him!
Keep us in prayer. We have had some awesome meetings this year in GA, TN, SC, NYC, and some awesome TV and online outreaches! In face meetings we have seen 100’s of salvations and rededications so far. We have reached more people through social media than ever before this year. WNIM still has meeting in SC, GA, VA, and GA in 2023. We are scheduled to go to Ghana, West Africa with my youngest daughter Ada Grace and New Zealand in Nov. Thank you to all who give to this ministry. We are honored that you support the work of Jesus taking place in WNIM.

A Mercy Harvest by Shawn Patrick Williams
A Mercy Harvest
I was in the sanctuary of our ministry center in Greenwood SC praying about what has happened in Asbury, America, and around the nations in the past few months and the Lord spoke to me. “I am sending a mercy harvest.”
What is currently taking place around the four corners of the world is nothing less than God’s divine mercy, before His divine judgment is released upon the earth. We cannot ignore the providential timing of this release of God’s Spirit, at the same time that all the players in bible
prophecy are on the chess board moving around and getting in place for the great battle at Megiddo. God is holy and judgment is coming to the earth, but God is merciful and still has a heart that not one soul be lost.
This is what Compassion International describes mercy as, “Mercy is the compassionate treatment of those in distress, especially when it is within one’s power to punish or harm them.
The word “mercy” derives from the medieval Latin merced or merces, which means “price paid.” It has the connotation of forgiveness, benevolence and kindness. Mercy is often used in a religious context of giving alms, caring for the sick or the poor. In the legal sense, mercy often refers to compassionate behavior from a person in power, such as when a judge shows clemency, leniency or mercy during sentencing.” God’s mercy and judgment collides and mercy wins. God is about to move in mercy like we have not seen before.
As the Most High is bringing into alignment nations and peoples that are sheep nations and goat nations, He is separating the wheat and the tares. Matthew 13:24-43
1 Peter 4:17-18 KJV
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1 Peter 4:17-18 The Message
17-19 It’s judgment time for God’s own family. We’re first in line. If it starts with us, think what it’s going to be like for those who refuse God’s Message! If good people barely make it, What’s in store for the bad?
What I believe is taking place in this current outpouring of the Holy Spirit is God is preparing His church to receive the largest harvest the church has ever seen! He is cleaning and reviving the Body of Christ, while bringing in a new generation of Joel’s Army. Three things are being release upon the church during this outpouring. 1. A deep repentance. This repentance goes back to root causes trauma points and mother wounds. The Holy Spirit is getting very detailed in identification repentance in this hour. 2. There is fresh oil being release upon the Body through new believers receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the older believers being refreshed by this fresh oil. 3. A mass movement of deliverance is taking place across the earth. This is
preparing and purifying the Bride with a spirit of burning. As you look at the current revivals these are the main traits.
Why is this revival taking place?
Acts 1:8 NLT
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Let us not forget that the main purpose of the Holy Spirit is not just to prophesy, or speak in an unknown tongue. Signs and wonders follow believers as we follow Jesus. So what is the main reason God is releasing this great river of revival. The main purpose of the Holy Spirit is to empower the church to be a witness!
This river is flowing from the mercy seat out through the Throne room into the streets of gold and out into the rivers of heaven. These rivers flow from heaven to earth. And out of our bellies. Everywhere a believer is, there is potential for revival.
John 7:38 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
As this river increases throughout the nations, this mercy harvest will touch regions, nations and peoples that were though unreachable. This mercy harvest will bring in the largest revival and numerical amount of souls the church has ever seen. This is going to hit Sydney, Christchurch, Aden, Islamabad, Tehran, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Karachi, Rio de Janeiro, Havana, Abu Dhabi, Cape Town, Accra and even Singapore. This river will start in the unknown areas of the earth. From Dubbo, Darfield, Damt, Sangla Hill, Rafsanjan, New Jersey, Sugar Hill, Pasadena and even Garfield Heights.
This will usher in increase and not a few. Churches that have had 10’s will now have 100’s and 100’s will now have 1000’s and 1000’s will now have 10,000’s. There will be an increase of media ministry. God will increase theater ministry, social media ministry, documentaries and
evangelical media production hubs across the world. Mercy is being released in this hour. The heart of the Father is torn to see His kids, but broken because of rejection of His grace. Mercy will triumph.

Your Aldersgate!
Dear Partner and Friend, 2-22-2023
“ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.” Joel 2:28-29
These are exciting times we are living in! All over the world God is pouring His Spirit out and people are coming into His Kingdom like never before! Reports from leaders in Asia, Africa and here in America are coming in with revival updates! God is fulfilling His promise for renewal and revival! He is coming back soon, so what do we do?The name “Aldersgate” has significance in the Methodist faith because of its founder, John Wesley. His experience in a worship setting at Aldersgate Street in London on May 24, 1783, radically changed the course of his walk with Jesus. From that point on, churches were named “Aldersgate” in memorium to the stories that were told of Wesley’s experience. Over the following years the message became that you don’t have to go to London to have an “Aldersgate” experience, God is near to all who will seek Him.
In the same way, this current move of the Holy Spirit that started at Asbury University is taking shape on college campuses in America. The good news is, you don’t have to go to one of these meetings to experience this outpouring, as much as you just must seek His face. He will show up and give you your own “Aldersgate” , or Asbury if you seek Him.
Keep us in prayer. WNIM has not had doors open like we are seeing now in many years. You can see an evident shift in the Spirit. From now until June we are preaching in GA, TN, SC, and Nigeria via Zoom. Ada Grace and I will be travelling to Ghana, West Africa in June. Your prayers are greatly appreciated, and we cannot begin to thank you enough for your continued support.

The Grinch That Stole Christmas, by Shawn Patrick Williams
As a child one of my favorite Christmas movies was “The Grinch That Stole Christmas.” The Grinch came and stole all the Christmas presents from the little town, but he couldn’t steal their Christmas joy!
I know that it is just a movie, but imagine with me if you will how that same scenario is played out not only during Christmas but all year around.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23. As a spirit-filled born again believer, we have the power living inside of us to bear the fruit of the spirit at all times! When you live the Christian life, led by the Spirit, the character of the Holy Spirit flows through yours. It is a very powerful thing and Satan knows it. He doesn’t want the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit flowing out of your life. When a believer has this revelation and applies it, miracles start to take place.
That is why Jesus said the greatest commandment was to live by the law of love, toward God and man. When you live by this law, the very essence of God Himself (Love) lives through you!
Satan will do anything he can to keep you from living out love, joy, and peace by the Spirit. He will try to offend you, get you to judge people, and harbor unforgiveness or bitterness in your heart. He might use someone close to you like a family member or friend or even an incident that has happened sometime ago.
Early in my life, I had a false perception of an incident that happened in the church my family was attending. It was my perception of what happened and was very real to me. I became offended by the incident and judged all Christians and churches by that situation. Bitterness took root overtime and I swore off “church.” I’ve met hundreds of people who have had a very similar experience. As a result, I walked with bitterness and unforgiveness in my heart for years, because of this incident. It affected every area of my life, not just “church.”
Satan will do anything he can to steal your supernatural love, joy, and peace. Just like the Grinch that stole Christmas, the Devil will try to do this to you all the time. Don’t let Satan steal your joy!
Colossians 3:14-15 says, “And above all these things put on charity (love), which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”
What’s ruling your heart today? Is it the fruit of the Holy Spirit, or has the “Grinch” made a visit to your house? Let go and let the Spirit of God rule your heart today.
Memoirs of the Miraculous: New Testament Spiritual Gift Teaching and Experiences
Are the gifts of the Holy Spirit still in operation today? Is the spirit world real?
Are the gifts of the Spirit still occurring today? Do miracles still happen? Do angels really exist? Are demons real, and if so, can they affect things in the natural? Can a person see into the spirit realm? Many people have asked these questions. In his book Memoirs of the Miraculous Realm, Dr. Shawn Patrick Williams documents over two decades of stories and spiritual encounters. From America, Asia, Africa, and Australia, Williams shows people coming out of wheelchairs to angelic and demonic encounters. Williams takes you right into his thirty-nation travels to see the wonder-working power of the cross.
