World Harvest Outreach Panama Central America

/in /by

 The very first mission trip I went on was in Costa Rica, Central America in 1999. God began to burden my heart during this trip to evangelize the nations of the world. All through my Christian walk and early ministry development, the seed of this trip never left my life.  For many years the Holy Spirit has been burdening WNIM with WHO outreaches to the Latino nations. Revivals are taking place in other Latin American countries such as Brazil, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador and many parts of Central and South America, such as Panama. The church is growing exponentially in the Latino community. According to a Pew Research Study, tens of millions of Latin Americans have left the Roman Catholic Church in recent decades to embrace spirit filled Christianity. The study projects that by 2025, the number of Pentecostals and charismatics in Latin America will surpass 202 million. Jesus is coming back soon and the Latin American cultures are responding to the call of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Many church leaders in America have been declaring that the main stream American church prepare for a huge shift in the demographics of our nation. “Even here in America, the majority of Christ-followers will be of Latino descent by 2030,” Pastor Samuel Rodriguez stated. Peter Wagner, who was a missionary for many years to the Latino community, has long declared to the American church to prepare itself for this harvest of souls in its midst.

“Therefore said he unto them, the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2

One church that is embracing the move of the Holy Spirit is Temple El Dios Vivienne led by Pastor L. Cruz. He was Warrior Nations host for this Panama outreach. We held 4 nights of spiritual warfare meetings, with people worshiping and praying through the midnight hour. These meetings were launched after a group of local witches confronted the pastor and the church. Pastor Cruz is a mighty man of God and did not back down after these confrontations. He invited WNIM to come four months into these events occurring. The Holy Spirit was as faithful as many people were touched by His Spirit in amazing ways. The youth group encountered God and it was such a beautiful thing to watch an altar full of youth crying under the power of the Spirit. Many people were saved and recommitted their lives to the Lord. We had a man testify that the Lord healed his eyes and ears by the fire of the Holy Spirit. One lady gave a testimony that a tumor had disappeared as after she felt the heat of the Holy Spirit touching her during the worship time.

Pastor Cruz has been focused on building cell groups all over the city for a strategic evangelism plan. He travels to Venezuela and Columbia often for meetings and testifies that God is pouring His Spirit out in these nations like never before. He said that the reason why a 25,000 or 35,000 member church in the Latino world is not uncommon is because the mobilization of these cell groups spreading the name of Jesus throughout these areas. He said, “Everyone that attends becomes a potential evangelist for Christ.”

Panama has an infrastructure that has the impression of the United States all over it and even uses the U.S. dollar as its currency. From the time of the construction of the canal until now, world are focused on Panama’s success. The canal has changed maritime shipping and world trade forever. Because of this, Panama City is positioned to be the next major city of trade in South/Central America regions. The city has the feel of all of the major economic cities in the world. Panama is not only a center for trade, but because of its significance, evangelism, as well.

Warrior Nations has been blessed to be a part of this wonderful outreach and is prayerfully planning outreaches in the near future during this Latino revival. Please keep us in prayer, as we seek the Lord on our involvement and I want to thank everyone that supported this outreach.

Gathering the Harvest for our King,

Shawn Patrick Williams

P.S. This Summer WNIM will hold three “Third Watch” prayer services at our SC headquarters. Please feel free to come and pray with us during these events. They start from 6pm and last until 3 am the next day. We invite prayer warriors and worshippers to help us during these meetings. Please call the office or message us to let us know you are coming. Also, thank you for those who are giving on a monthly basis. We can’t do the work without your faithful giving!

Raise That Wall by Shawn Patrick Williams

/in /by

Raise That Wall

 

“Raise That Wall, Raise That Wall” chanted the supporters of our newly elected President Donald Trump in the November campaigning period. I felt such a sense of urgency, as many of my constituents did, to pray fervently for America and the elections. I was able to lead five prayer rallies in five states over the two weeks leading up to Election Day.  As the days grew near for the election many could feel a deep warfare taking place in the spirit realm. I have never seen such a unity in the Body of Christ as I did during this time. Our nation was and is under attack not only in the natural, but also in the supernatural.

Watching the presidential inauguration was a relief for many. My 77-year-old mother said in all of her life she had never seen Jesus Christ lifted up as much as He was in this ceremony. In the midst of watching this the Lord spoke to me. “Son, Donald Trump needs your prayers after this election more than he did before it because of the spiritual warfare that is coming to him and America.”

Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV)

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

 

All truth is parallel.  What happens in the spirit will manifest in the natural. We began to hear the cry, “Secure our Borders,” and we sensed more warfare around this cry from around the world as well. God began to deal with me about this critical moment in our nation.  Satan is trying to release a final blow of terror over America. I believe that there are multiple plans from pockets of Islamic extremists to attack America on a scale larger than 9/11. The Holy Spirit started to reveal that the enemy is trying to release multiple waves of terror on America in this season. The devil wants to use ISIS to release a simultaneous attack in every major city to cause America to be overcome with a spirit of fear like never before in history. Overnight small town America would double in size because of the mass exodus of Americans leaving major cities.

Luke 21:25-26King James Version (KJV)

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

God began to deal with me about the ability of the church to reverse Satan’s plans through the Power of prayer. God began to give me a revelation on how the church needs to raise the wall in the spirit realm around our nation in the very critical hour to stop the plans of the enemy, just like in the book of Nehemiah.

 

I want to share with you an exciting new project our ministry is about to release. It’s called, “Raise the Wall.” We have been conducting this outreach in local churches for years, but now we are bringing the concept to you! We feel the urgency in the Spirit for this project to come out on a broader level.

The average American Christian prays one minute a day, and the average Christian pastor prays five minutes a day. Since 1963 the prayer wall has been slowly dismantled in America. We have seen the effort to take prayer out of schools, the effort to take the Bible out of our national heritage, and attacks on freedom of speech as we know it. Godless socialism and secularism are knocking on America’s door, and the moral fabric of our nation is being unraveled!

From 1963 until today, there has been a 500% increase in teen violence, a 400% increase in the occult, 50% of teens are having sex, 67% of teens that grow up in a Christian home leave the faith when attending a secular university, and more teens have lost their lives to suicide than all the American combat casualties in the Vietnam war! Schools shootings are not uncommon on our universities any longer! The prayer wall has fallen around America! Will you “Raise the Wall”?

“Raise the Wall” is a multi-level prayer initiative that Warrior Nations has launched in churches of America. Shawn Patrick teaches a seminar based out of the book of Nehemiah and lays out a simple multi-level prayer initiative for any church to apply within their congregation.  The “Raise the Wall” 52 day prayer journal is a guide for individuals, families, churches and cities to raise the wall of prayer back around America.

So the wall was completed… in fifty-two days. When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God. ~ Nehemiah 6:15-16 KJV

In this journal there are two pages for each day. One page is to write your prayer request, but the second page it to write down what the Holy Spirit it saying to you. I firmly believe prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. It’s a two-way conversation. My prayer is that whatever your prayer life is like, this project would inspire you to go deeper with Jesus Christ through the power of prayer. God did something so powerful for an entire nation through Nehemiah in just 52 days. What could God do for your situation, family, church and city if you give Him 52 days of prayer?

Warrior Nations International Ministries facilitates a Raise The Wall weekend for churches. This involves a Saturday night teaching session on prayer fundamentals from Nehemiah. We follow up in the Sunday morning service by teaching ten prayer principles. We ask the entire church to sign a commitment card to pray through seven points as a family for the 52 days. On Sunday night we have a special prayer service with the prayer group and help set up  focus and structure for the group. Then we have a special time of ministry over the prayer team as we ask for an impartation for powerful prayer.

I pray that you get this project for your children, new believers and people who are struggling with their prayer life. In addition to spurring a deeper prayer and devotional life, it is also a great way to break the ice for outreach. If your prayer group, or church needs help kicking off a prayer group, this is a great way to get it started. WNIM will even help you do it! Contact our ministry for more information. I pray you are empowered today through this awesome privilege we enjoy called prayer.

 

Gathering the Harvest for our King,

Celebrating 14 Years of Revival and World Evangelism!

As I think back to Oct 2002 and remember the Lord burning in my heart a passion to see America come back to Christ and the commissioning He birthed in Warrior Nations this 14 years ago I would have never imagined all the things He had prepared for us!

1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV), “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

As I look back and see how many other people God had in mind when He started Warrior Nations, I understand that it was really was on His mind the entire time. This October marks 14 years, 27 nations, 26 denominations and over 115,100 decisions for the glory of the Lord.  We have seen well over 1100 minister’s surrender into a call into the ministry over this time. Warrior Nations has helped over 37 “para-church” and ministers launch during this time, as well. We are still preaching and believe that God is not done yet!  Will you stand with us?

I want to thank all the partners that have stood with Warrior Nations through the years. We all have a reward in Heaven because of these decisions.  When we stepped out from a job to go full-time, you were there. When we decided to go to the nations in 2007, you were there. When we started writing critical books to empower the saints, you were there.  When we started doing the rethinking evangelism street outreaches, prisons, prayer or the media outreaches- you were there! Thank you for the prayers, love and support. Our family thanks you, as well as, all the people that have been touched through this ministry.

                                            I want to share some stories with you.

Chris wrote a letter to us from a prison in TX. He said, “I didn’t even realize the cycles the devil had over my life and how he deceived me, until someone in jail gave me one of your books. I read your testimony and some of the teaching. It was like a light bulb came on. I could see the cycles and now God has set me free. Thank you! Please send more books.”

Pastor Jeff from The Bridge Church in Kentucky wrote this, “Thank you Shawn Patrick for your obedience and tenacity in the faith. So many lives saved, changed and reconciled this weekend.”

Russ wrote, “I found myself at the end of the road for my life. I felt abandon and all alone. I had to pull over a parking because I could not see to drive because of the tears streaming down my face and Shawn Patrick Williams called on the phone. He was able to pick up on the spirit of suicide that I was really struggling with at that time and was able to counsel me and pray with me through that situation. One of the biggest things that I love about Shawn and Christy is that they are real genuine/transparent leaders that show the love of Jesus to the people that they come in contact with. Without them I probably would not be sitting here today.”

Francine called our office one day and said, “You came to a rehab where I was in GA to share your testimony. I gave my life to Jesus then, but had a struggle when I got out.  I moved 2 or 3 times after I got out, but these annoying Warriors’ Word newsletters seemed to keep following me. One day I read a message on radical grace in the newsletter. God touched me and now I am in full time ministry. Thank you for not giving up on me.”

Philip, a teen from FL said, “I went to one of your Beyond the Darkness meetings. You were talking about the power of music, good and bad. I thought you were crazy at first, but God began to show me how I made compromises in my music that led to compromises in my life. No more half way in, for me. I’ve closed that door and can see a major difference in my life.”

A lady from TN came into one of our meetings recently. She had tried to stab two pastors and church members with a knife over the past two years in a small town called, Harriman. One of the church elders brought her to one of our meetings. When we prayed for her in the name of Jesus Christ, a spirit was broke off her life. She got up a brand new woman and testified in her right mind the next night that Jesus Christ set her free from mental torment and sleepless nights! You couldn’t even tell she was the same woman.

“You believe in Jesus. I want to know more. Tell me about eternal life and what will happen after death. Tell me about heaven.” Johan Van Jaersveld from South Africa

This year Warrior Nations has been awarded a $120,000 Google ads grant and guess what we are spending the free ads on? That’s right, the message of salvation. This message above and many more are coming in daily to WNIM.  In four months’ time Warrior Nations has presented the Gospel to 2.39 million people with 25,000 thousand second clicking on the message of salvation and many of those have reached out directly to our ministry for help! So much that we have commissioned a volunteer to help me just with the follow ups. Praise the Lord! We are currently only using half the budget at this point, but are developing the program to maximize the grant and the landing pages and ad words. We need help and your support. The grant only covers the ads, not the man power to admin the follow ups.  We are reaching millions through this new online outreach. We are also partnered with a liaison of Campus Crusade to place any decision made online straight into a bible believing church anywhere in the world. Please keep us in prayer as the Holy Spirit is developing this outreach. It has the potential to make a massive impact online and we need to hire another person for administration.

In August 2014 the Holy Spirit started dealing with me about our ministries’ international focus being more in the Asian Pacific area and the 10/40 window in the years ahead. After 10 years of major evangelism in Africa, the Holy Spirit shifted our focus. The 10/40 window has 3 billion un-reached Muslims, Buddhist and Hindus! The last days harvest and the fastest church growth the world has ever known will come from this area. Since that time we have been to Australia, Pakistan, China, The United Arab Emirates, The Philippines, and India which are all in the 10/40 window. We have seen 1000’s come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ since that time. Home church planting strategies are growing fast there because of persecution and WNIM has been working with indigenous leaders to plant new churches were there have been previously none. God is moving on this project and we want to keep moving with Him.

Warrior Nations needs your help!

Fourteen years ago, my wife Christy and I launched Warrior Nations. We took all of her $500 of retirement and paid for the IRS fee to become a non-profit organization recognized by our Federal government. We have been traveling and sharing this radical message of grace and holiness ever since!  We now have four kids, a small army of volunteer staff and the mission is still the same. I want to thank the Remnant Partners of Warrior Nations for standing with this ministry to preach the Gospel in these last days. We have a handful of people who have stood with us since the beginning in 2002 and we want to say thank you so much. We can’t do it without your continual prayers and monthly support. My family thanks you for all your prayers and support. Thirty-five percent of the ministry budget comes from love offerings, five percent from book sales and sixty percent of the ministry budget is from partners and people just like you that believe we are in the last days and believe in the fruit of salvations God has harvested through this ministry. We can’t do it without you. Please continue to stand with WNIM in these last days!

If you have partnered with us, or given a one-time donation in the past,

would you consider standing with this ministry again?

WNIM is praying for 100 new people to make a commitment of new monthly partnership in order to meet the 2017 budget and continue the WNIM outreaches! 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.

“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And is able to make all grace 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.

Please prayerfully consider taking the Warrior’s challenge!

  1. Commit to PRAY for the ministry, outreaches, & the staff regularly!
  2. Commit to SUPPORT the WNIM outreaches financially every month with $30, $50, $100,  $200, $500, $1,000 or more. No amount is too small! Thank you so much!

Religious “Ice Melt” in Iceland by Shawn Patrick Williams

/in /by

iceland

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. Buthis word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. ~ Jerimiah 20:9

“There is a fire coming to Iceland that is going to burn in the nation a refining fire. It will melt the ice of religion off the nation. It will burn from Reykjavik to Vik, all the wat to Akureyri and to Isafjoraur yes and even Baenahusio. This fire is commissioned from the Throne room, because of the cries of intercessors that have been going up. A star has been commissioned to light the flame in the candlestick of Iceland for this great last days awakening for the land.  The Church is about to experience a major time of growth. Watch tradition and denominational walls fall in this season. I will use my end time warriors there to revive the church. Yes, they will have no fear and a boldness to speak forth the oracles of heaven without fear. Iceland will become an international hub for revival. Yes. Many have said, ‘What good could come out of this little nation’, but I say this nation will rise up voices to the nations. There is a new sound of worship coming from Iceland and it will be majestic and release healing.

Iceland holds a key to refuge. In this nation there is refuge for the saints. It is a place of safety and strategy. A bridge from Iceland to the USA, Europe, Asia, Australia and Russia will be built through the work of the saints in this mighty nation.”

Recognized nationally and internationally as an end time evangelist, Shawn Patrick has traveled to 26 nations and ministered in 27 denominations. He has also authored several books. He passionately speaks each year through radio, TV, conferences, festivals, concerts, churches and international crusades.

A Recalibration Coming to Australia

A Re-calibration Coming to Australia

“Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth as your possession.” Psalm 2:8

I sense a re-calibration for the economy in Australia.  Witty ideas and inventions are coming forth. A technical software revolution is coming. Some things are about to reset. In the long term it will advance the kingdom of Christ. Some ministries have been in a holding pattern regionally and logistically up until now. This re-calibration will loose the delay in these areas and advance their vision. The re-calibration will create a shift in the church that will break a glass ceiling that has been over much of the churches of the nation. This is a ceiling of religion. Once the new level of Glory is released, it will cause a new generation of evangelist to be released to the nations of the earth. They will have fire in their belly and the Word of the Lord on their lips.

A marriage of the church and the mountain of government is about to take place. Spirit filled believers executing the laws of the land, with grace. This will balance the shock and fear that is trying to come upon the land because of the spirit driving Islam and it’s stronghold in Australia. A divine marriage of the two.

I see apostles, prophets and intercessors gathering. They will provoke heaven with prayers and crying for redemption of the nations. Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast. Geelong, Arbury, New Castle, Adelaide, Toowoomba, Alice Springs and yes, even Mildura. A wave of new apostolic centers in this nation. Awakening for the land and reviving for the church!

Understanding the Political Mountain

/in /by

Understanding the Political Mountain

By Dr. Shawn Patrick Williams

We are at a political tipping point in the United States of America. Jesus Christ told the church to “occupy” until He comes and it is part of the church’s “Great Commission” to go into all the world and make disciples. That directive was articulated in the seven mountains strategy that Campus Crusade founder Bill Bright received in 1975, confirmed by other prolific voices in the Body.

These seven mountains are business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion. It is so phenomenally critical for the church to have a sound biblical understanding of the political climate of our nation and what our stance should be as a Body and a believer when we are assessing the political mountain of culture.  There has not been such a vicious and divisive political climate that I’m aware of for the past sixty-five years.  Not only has this year’s election been dividing the political parties, but it has brought division in the Body of Christ. A house divided cannot stand! I know people are angry about the current state of America’s government. How do we navigate through all of the rhetoric and noise coming from the media? How do we understand our duty as the New Testament church?

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”

-1 Timothy 2:1-8 (KJV)

students

I am convinced that the failed results of the past eight years that the political mountain has produced , is directly because the majority of the church spent more time complaining about the current administration, instead of following the biblical instruction to lift our leaders up in prayer, even if we do not like them or agree with them. A follower of Christ must resolve not to get caught up in political drama. People in all parties should be affected by godly character and deep commitment to pray for the governmental leaders. Throughout the history of the church God has placed His people around totalitarian governments and difficult political atmospheres for the very purpose of having their prayers change the governmental mountains of the day.

To gain a deeper understanding of this dynamic, we must grasp the commission of those who are sent to the governmental realm with a kingdom assignment. God has sent many over the centuries to be a “voice of change” and a “root of righteousness” in world powers. God had Daniel influence the shape of Babylon. The Lord used Paul to impact Rome and the entire known world. Moses was a tool God used to shut one nation down and re-birth another. Ultimately Father God sent Jesus to carry the government upon His shoulders.

Let’s look to Moses for a few examples of the commission to the mountain of government. Moses was raised in the known ruler of the world’s house in order to navigate in that established governmental system, but sent to deliver God’s people from the bondage that that same system produced. The most interesting thing is Moses was not received by either party.

”And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.”

-Exodus 2:14 (KJV)

In context, Moses started to mobilize into his mountain for the first time and that’s when the attack and identity crisis came. “What party is he really for? Is he trying to deceive us? How can we trust someone that has Egypt in his political DNA?” All of these questions came to life as he stepped into the realm of government. I want to make it clear that I am not endorsing any candidate in this article.

If you are a believer that feels the call to this governmental mountain, you too will be challenged in these same areas. You will be attacked with all the temptations of idolatry, and your spiritual identity will be tested. You will have to learn to eat lunch with an enemy, but have a resolve to bring the Kingdom into new territory. You will need to be rooted and grounded in your spiritual DNA, in order to not take on a party DNA, as your true source of guidance. The difficult thing will be establishing the kingdom within the party to which you are assigned. There must be believers commissioned in this mountain in order to occupy it! Ignoring the responsibility of the church to influence this mountain would be a grave injustice. Separation of church and state was instituted to keep government out of church, not to keep believers of government. The first Congress in 1776 was a prayer session.

We must understand two critical things. 1. God can use and has used evil kings to establish His purposes under the sun. Do not fret about who gets elected or who does not. He used king Cyrus, Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar for His purposes. God is still the King of kings and Lord of lords. 2. A believer has an obligation to pray for those in government and the responsibility to research the men of God in this political mountain and vote for the candidate that they feel the Holy Spirit has led them to support.

When you vote, vote your morals. Vote guided by biblical truth. Vote your convictions. Above all, pray for all parties and government leaders so we can see unity and a spiritual awakening in our nation!

Plastic Platforms and False Foundations

Plastic Platforms and False Foundations

images

by Dr. Shawn Patrick Williams

When I traveled to the Philippines last December, I had the chance to go to a place in Manila called Touch of Glory Prayer Mountain. This prayer retreat has prayer closets, huts and even an apartment complex for those who are in a 40-day fast and prayer. They promote spending an hour or more praying with no TV, cell phones, or internet. This was an uncommon opportunity to seek the face of God without distractions.

Don’t Speak

As I went into a prayer closet, the Spirit of God said, “Don’t speak. Simply listen. Call My people to pray! Call the people of America to repent,” says the Spirit of Grace. “My will is grace. My righteousness has to judge. I must judge that which is wood, hay and stubble, and that which is silver, gold and precious stone. I deal with every man pure, true and righteous. I am just and reward the faithful man with covenant promises, even in the middle of the storms.

As I began to think about what the Spirit of God was saying, this teaching from the apostle Paul came to mind.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” 1 Corinthians 3:10-15

Just Stand

We are in the last days. Christians and churches across the globe are being tested. The foundations of each person’s walk and each church’s works are being revealed. We must pray to see any necessary foundational adjustments and make them. Fire will reveal what kind of character you really have. We can shout, “Praise the Lord!” when things are going well, but can the Western church praise God in the middle of persecution? I’ve been to Pakistan where whole churches have been burned to the ground by the Taliban and seen people continue to keep the faith. At one church in Lahore that is normally attended by about twelve hundred people, Al-Qaida set off a bomb killing one hundred and twenty people. The next week twenty-two thousand Christians showed up for worship, even while facing another bomb threat! Fox News reports that two hundred and seventy three people die each day for their faith in Christ. Does the Western church have the kind of foundation laid in its discipleship of believers to thrive under persecution like much of the rest of the world? The apostle Paul even said in the context of this passage from Corinthians that he was still dealing with babies in Christ drinking spiritual milk. Has the American church been on the milk bottle too long? Has the American church made so many scriptural compromises to have large platforms that they are really made of plastic and can’t stand the test of fire?

America has before it an opportunity to see the largest unchurched generation it’s ever had accept Jesus Christ and experience the greatest awakening to date. Seventy-seven million Millennials are in America and only 18% claim to be Christian. America has become the third largest mission field in the world. What are we going to do in our hour of decision? God sent “The spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning” to the nation of Israel in Isaiah 4:4 to correct their hard hearts and prepare them for the coming of the Messiah. In the New Testament this same spirit of judgment and of fire is what the apostle Paul was referring to. We see Peter make an extraordinary statement about what the church can expect before God deals with the world.

“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?” 1 Peter 4:17 (KJV)

The Western church can expect more things like the Charleston church shooting and the eight African American churches burned in South Carolina three weeks after to happen somewhere again. Ferguson, MO and Baltimore, MD are just small examples of what the enemy wants to do to this nation. The assignment of one of the four horsemen from the book of Revelation chapter six is to bring civil unrest. Incidents like the shootings in San Bernardino, CA, Columbine, Co, or Umpqua Community College, OR are going to be more prevalent in the future. We must have a stronger foundation to stand firm in the atmosphere of persecution like this. I’ve met many foreign missionaries that actually pray for the church in America to experience persecution in order to be purified. When true fire comes to the church, it burns up all the plastic platforms that have been created by shallow teachings and false foundations. When true fire comes it causes revival fires to break out in uncommon ways.

And See the Salvation of the Lord

In the years ahead I believe America will see cites saved, stadiums filled for revivals, hospitals emptied out from healings and even the dead raised from the prayer of faith! This will come through a refined church that has raised up a prayer wall around its families, churches and cites. As a revivalist, I pray for awakenings like this. America’s church has its greatest hour ahead of it, and that is the hour of prayer! We must build an altar in our hearts and in our homes. It’s our hour in the prayer closet that will preserve us in our hour of testing.

Secret Sorcery The Apocalyptic Encryption

/in /by

In his first 2010 fiction book Secret Sorcery the Deception Begins, Shawn Patrick Williams describes the novel like this, “The ancient prophecies of a global release of secret sorcery have been fulfilled!
Crowley’s deceptive efforts to use music as a tool to release a wave of witchcraft over North America have come of age. Paul Heiner, a teen who has fallen under the power of this secret sorcery, runs away from home to join a band in Los Angeles. Reverend Bill Batesburg uncovers occult efforts to carry out Crowley’s plan using front media groups and businesses. Reverend Bill is confronted with a series of demonic battles that drive him to search for answers. As difficult as the search is, the deception runs much deeper than he anticipates. Intriguing characters find themselves in life-threatening battles with known and unknown people and principalities. Right on time, divine providence brings a powerful prayer team together to fight against an unseen satanic army. But their greatest battles are yet to be fought.”

 

“We saw way more many young people touch through this novel than even fifteen years of youth outreaches in churches. It was awesome to see teens read the book through in 24 hours and many times they had never been to a church. God blessed us to have national coverage of this. We did book signings at Book-a-Million and Barnes and Noble stores from Philadelphia to Florida. God placed this novel in twenty plus maximum security prisons across the nation. It was really crazy how so many people seemed to identity with or go through the same spiritual battles that are involved with the drug and music lifestyle.  For five years we have been getting letters from readers that live all over America that have so many similar stories to mine and the characters Paul, Nancy and other characters in this book series.”
In his second fiction book Secret Sorcery The Apocalyptic Encryption to be released at first strictly on amazon on Dec 19th, Williams gives readers some closer and a new adventure. He describes this book as a continuance of the same storyline like this, “Fleeing the Five Points Records initiation, Paul escapes the occult with his life. Rev. Bill and the FBI save Paul and he falls in love with Nancy, the kidnapped teen from Atlanta. They uncover a huge conspiracy with the global illuminati group Mediacom. Paul discovers sorcery embedded in a web of shell entertainment groups. The musical note the diminished fifth was banned in the eighteenth century church for having the repeated pattern of 666 as the numerical value. After recovering new information that ties this Mark of the Beast into almost every scope of modern entertainment Paul is shocked to see everyone involved in this apocalyptic theory. All levels of society are involved, including the law enforcement protecting him. Who can he trust? Where will he go? What will do?”

Williams says, “We have been really blessed to have some awesome people work on these projects. The main editor for the first fiction book was the same guy who edited the book turned into football movie, Facing the Giants. The second book has had an awesome group of people rally around it, as well. If The  Harry Potter and The Twilight book series can be so influential on a generation , I think the avenue of fiction has potential to reach the millennials with the Gospel in our stories. The America public wants to see the good news represent in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. I’ve had meetings with NBC Universal producers looking for Christian content, because the demand has increased so much. We have seen the trends in the past few years and I thank God media is reaching them with non-traditional ways of outreach.

I’m all for church and preaching the gospel. In fact, the reason these books are five years a part is because I’ve travel extensively sharing my testimony and preaching revivals. We are a part of many church and evangelistic efforts, but if the church is going to reach the largest “unchurched” generation America has ever had it will be through unconventional ways. Most people don’t realize this, but America has become the third largest mission field in the world. Only twenty percent of the millennials attend a church on Sunday morning, but eighty eight percent of them read fiction. If the church is going to reach them it won’t be in the church. We have to ‘Go to the highways and byways’ before they will come in the doors of the church.”

“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”  Luke 14:32 KJV

The Church and Same Sex Marriage by Shawn Patrick Williams

The Church and Same Sex Marriage

by Shawn Patrick Williams

The Church is faced with its biggest challenge in decades. In global ecclesia, there is pressure to take a stance one way or the other on same sex relationships. People are drawing lines, and denominations have been split over this relevant cultural issue. The scripture is the church’s ultimate guidebook to make decisions about cultural issues people are facing. Culture may change, but God’s Word does not. If you’re in a church where the Bible is not your main basis for guidance, get out! That being said, let’s look at some of the scripture church bases protocol for homosexual relationships.

“Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone… So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs… And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man…”

Genesis 2:18-25 ESV

“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”

Leviticus 18:22 ESV

“For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.”

Romans 1:26-28 ESV

“The sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine.”

1 Timothy 1:10 ESV

“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality.”

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV

“Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.”

Jude 1:7 ESV

It is fair to say that both the Old and the New Testament scriptures agree that homosexual behavior is sinful. There are dozens of references in the Bible on this issue. Even the human reproductive system will testify that a man and a man cannot reproduce naturally, nor can a woman reproduce with a woman. The scripture goes on to show us that it is a sign before the judgment on a culture. Our culture has accepted this as normal and the Supreme Court has made this issue at the forefront of marriage. So how should the church respond?

Celebration

While many people in America are celebrating the equal rights of all humans, which I’m for, it is important that the church does not celebrate the sin in which this act represents.  I am thankful that I live in a nation that protects the rights of all individuals regardless of race, social status or sexual orientation. However, the church is responsible to lead upholding Biblical truth and instruct culture on spiritual matters, not the government.  If the church celebrates homosexual expression in our society, than we set the example to the society that scriptural compromise is okay on any cultural topic.

Retaliation

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:8 ESV

For too long the church has been hypocritical in our approach to reaching the LGBT community. If someone dealing with this issue walks in most churches in America, the outcome has been unacceptable. We rebuke the gay couple while we hate, gossip, judge and lie right beside them. Unfortunately, we have called out the same sex couple in public, but not even addressed the other issues sitting right beside them that are Biblically defined as sin, which in God’s eyes are no different from homosexuality.  People who operate out of hate will continue to bring shame to the Body of Christ and cause the world to see an improper representation of Jesus. Hate is the opposite nature of God. He is love. I apologize on behalf of the church to anyone who has ever been singled out or persecuted by the church because they were gay. When the church can love the world instead of retaliating against it we will see the greatest revival the USA has ever known.

 

Toleration

“ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Mark 12:30-31 (ESV)

 

What is toleration? Toleration is “the practice of deliberately allowing or permitting a thing of which one disapproves.” God hates sin, but loves the sinner. God sent Jesus to redeem me from my sin, and God tolerated my sin until I made a choice to follow Jesus. The two highest laws in the kingdom of Christ are love God and man. Who is your neighbor? Yes, the LGBT community is your neighbor.  While God is love, He does not compromise. The church must learn love and interact in culture without compromising what they believe the scripture teaches.

I lived in midtown Atlanta, Georgia when I was selling drugs and going through some of the darkest times in my life. Midtown has one of the highest percentages of LBGT people among the communities in the South. Some of the nicest, most nurturing and accepting people are found in the homosexual communities. I have many people in my life that are homosexual, and I love them. I may not agree with them, but I do love them. I will talk about my beliefs as I have opportunity, but I always show the love that brought me to Jesus in the first place.

As a minister, I welcome the LGBT community to my services. I teach the Bible and won’t apologize; however I won’t hate or condemn anyone for anything. It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict.  We have many people who follow the cause of Jesus Christ that used to follow the cause of the LGBT community.  If we spend more time fighting for the cause of Christ, we spend less time fighting for the lesser causes and much less time fighting with each other.  Jesus Christ wants a cultural revolution to take place in the church of America. This is a love revolution that allows all people to receive the love and forgiveness of the cross regardless of their past sins. When we, as the church, can have a community of believers that create an atmosphere that is easy for people, regardless of their past sin, to come hear God’s Word and receive the power of the cross for their life, that’s when people change and the greatest awakening this nation has ever known will take place. Jesus loves you and has an awesome plan for your life, no matter what your past is.

Cultivating a Kingdom Culture By Shawn Patrick Williams

Cultivating a Kingdom Culture

By Shawn Patrick Williams

As I have traveled around the world to share my testimony, one of the most significant blessings has been seeing the amazing diversity in the Body of Christ. I grew up in a denominational setting and I praise God that I did, because it was a very evangelical environment. I attribute my passion for souls to the deposit that was given to me during that time. However, I have grown to appreciate all the amazing facets of Christ’s Kingdom on this earth.

”Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Matthew 6:10 (KJV)

 

The word kingdom in this verse introduces a new concept, as Christ was establishing the New Testament Church. The word means “Realm.” In this context, the word is referring to a royal heavenly realm. Jesus was laying a foundation for all His followers to continue in and that was bringing unity between Christ’s heavenly kingdom and this fallen earth. Denominations have done the opposite of that. Over two millennia the kingdom of Christ become extremely divided. Jesus established the Church, not denominationalism.

There have been seven major groups of denominations which have arisen from the Biblical historical Christian faith: Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and four Protestant families. No matter what Protestant belief you are it was a byproduct of one of these groups: Pre-Reformer, Lutheran, Anglican, or Reformed.

The doctrine of the Christian faith is universal, but the philosophies that carry that doctrine vary greatly. It is extremely significant to understand the difference between doctrine and philosophy. I belong to a denomination that very much mirrors the philosophy and understanding of how I demonstrate my faith in Christ. However my basic doctrine is the same as all followers of Jesus Christ in the global Christian church. I have been to 23 nations and preached in 26 different denominations of the Christian church without compromising what I believe to do so. I have learned to focus on their strength instead of their weakness, and the teachings, practices and protocols I have learned have been extremely beneficial to my ministry.

The Apostle Paul made some important statements in his letter to Philemon (a leader in the home church in the home church in Colossae) in order to establish how followers of Christ’s kingdom should view each other. Paul was writing to reconcile a converted slave name Onesimus, who is believed to have left Philemon, his wealthy owner and ran away for his freedom. Paul was trying to neutralize Philemon from looking at Onesimus as an investment and view him as a newly converted brother in the family of God. When Paul addresses Philemon, I believe God was speaking intentionally about how we are to perceive our brothers and sisters in the Kingdom, especially those who adhere to a different group or denomination.

Fellow Labourer

“Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer” Philemon 1:1

Fellowlabourer means “coworker”. Paul was establishing that they were working toward the same cause. Christ kingdom being established on earth. At the end of the day their efforts and energy were going toward the same goal. The present day church must learn to work together much like the first century church did.

Fellow Soldier

“And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house” Philemon 1:2

Paul used the term “fellow soldier” to address the believers helping Philemon in the house church. This word literally means, “co-campaigner”. Now the word campaign means, “A series of operations undertaken to achieve a set goal.”  Paul was referencing the fact that they were promoting the same cause. When two opposing politicians get in a campaign fight they are promoting two opposite agendas. The outcome is a zero-sum game: one loses and one wins. In the Body of Christ we are supposed to have the same campaign and the same cause.  Paul had to address this in a different situation with the church of Corinth.

 

“Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:5-9

Paul made it clear that in the functioning of the churches, we are one in God’s eyes. It’s not my ministry or your ministry. It’s Christ’s ministry, and He will judge us according to our heart’s attitude in the way we work together. The spirit of competition is killing the New Testament church in North America. I’ve seen jealousy and envy destroy and divide many churches at their appointed time of the Spirit visiting their church.

However, I have seen prayer, worship and youth pull a city together for the cause of Christ unlike anything else. If you can focus on these topics, almost any Christian group will come together and put their differences aside. If we don’t learn how to work together down here, we are in for a big surprise when we get to heaven.

Fellow Prisoner

“There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:23

Fellow prisoner means, “co-captive” and is a reference to the shared tribulations Christians face. Paul was not stranger to tribulation. He understood what the New Testament Church was facing ahead. John, author of the book of the Revelation, had a peek at this when the angel told him of the martyrs in the last days waiting on the rest of their brothers and sisters that would be killed in Revelation 6:10-11.

According to a 2013 report from the Vatican 237 Christians die a day for their faith. Todd Johnson, director of CSGC, told the BBC, “The truth is two thirds of the 2.3 billion Christians in the world today live… in dangerous neighborhoods. They are often poor. They often belong to ethnic, linguistic and cultural minorities. And they are often at risk.”

Just recently a proposal was made to the United Nations to recognize the current global killing of Christians as this century’s new holocaust. I traveled to Pakistan this January and visited the site of churches burned by the Taliban. I have worked in Nigeria for a decade and heard pastors tell how their churches were burned. Some saw their families and church members martyred for their faith in Christ. As a global church we must stand together in prayer and support in times like this. In speaking to a bishop from Uganda he told me of the national persecution that actually brought the believers in his nation closer together. They learned to stand together to make it through the fire.

My encouragement to the Christian church today is that we lay aside the things that divide us and focus on the things that unite us. If we learn to die to our agendas and prejudices, the love of Christ will be what the world sees in us. We won’t have any problems cultivating healthy and successful churches.
