The Power of the Cross!

/in /by

The Power of the Cross!
You will never become a warrior for Christ, until you understand the power of the cross. My whole life, when I heard someone preach the Cross, I heard about the wonderful promise of Heaven. I also, heard of the tormenting place called Hell. One thing was for sure, I didn’t want to burn! Because I had a “Fire Insurance Faith” it didn’t last. There was no real change in my life. Once I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, in 1998, I learned about the power of the Cross! I want to share with you about the age old, amazingly fresh, and powerfully broad power of the Cross. Let’s look at what it really means.
The power of the Cross destroys sin! John 3:15-17
Sin will take you to a literal burning Hell if the power of the Cross doesn’t destroy it through the forgiveness of your sins. If the blood doesn’t destroy it, this life is as good as it gets. But if you surrender your life to Jesus, this old world is as bad as it will ever be. Amen! If you can’t say that, if you died today, you would go to heaven, ask Jesus to be Lord today. Repent of your sins and turn from them. You’ll never be the same. The power of the Cross doesn’t just forgive your sins, but it destroys the power of that sin over your life. It doesn’t have dominion over you no more. Romans 6:14 When I read that scripture and believed it, I was set free totally from drug addiction.
The power of the Cross protects you from Satan! 1 John 3:8
When I came out of the occult, I had demons that were released through spells and talismans on me that got so angry, that they tried to bully me through death, fear, doubt, addiction and all the dirty stuff they do. Manifestations of demons started and they tried to scare me into giving up on my pursuit of Jesus. I learned how to plead the Blood of Jesus over my mind, my house, my life and everything that I knew. For 6-9 months evils spirits harassed me, but one thing was totally for sure. Every time I called the name of Jesus and spoke out the Blood, devils left in fear of God! I went through a “spiritual boot camp” and I learned, first hand, the untouchable power of the Cross! Demons can’t stay around Jesus. I encourage you to read our book “Warring with the Word”.
The power of the Cross delivers your mind and heals your body! What does the word “saved” really mean? Once I got this realization, everything changed. In John 3:17 the word “saved” in its’ Greek origin sōzō means “safe”; to save, to deliver or protect, to heal, preserve, save, do well, be (make) whole. God can heal your body! He can set you free from mental torment! The power of the Cross is the total package. It doesn’t just mean you get a free pass to Heaven. God wants you in victory now on this Earth. Jesus’ entire ministry was teaching the Apostles how to pray Heaven on Earth. I don’t understand why some people get healed instantly, and I’ve seen 100’s, or why some people never get healed and had the same people pray them same prayers. I can’t answer that, but that’s not gonna keep me from praying the power of the Cross, or from believing in the power of it. All I know is that He is able and His Word says He can. Therefore, I will pray and believe until I see it, or I see Him. Just like Shadrack, Meshack anmd Abendego.
The power of the Cross brings “the Acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19
This was a phrase know by the Hebrews as the year of Jubilee, or debt cancellation to the Jewish people every 50 years. This meant that Jesus brought “the year of Jubilee” to all who believed on His name, not just every 50 years. When you understand the power of giving tithes, offering and alms, God’s economy, it will break the power of lack and poverty. God doesn’t operate like the world system and He isn’t broke, in depression, or recession. The power of giving to God is a wonderful part of the atonement promises.
Jesus didn’t stay on the Cross! Acts 1:8 & 2:1-5
Jesus gave us the power of the Holy Spirit now to live out these promises. You can’t do it without the Holy Spirit. He wants His people to experience the unction of the Holy Spirit working in their lives. It’s His down payment towards eternal life. I pray today that the Lord Jesus Christ cause His Spirit to rise up on inside of you, so that you can walk in the fullness of the power of the cross, in the name of Jesus!

Believe Big in 2013!

/in /by

Dear Partner & Friend of Warrior Nations,

Believe big in 2013! We are in the last days and God wants to do uncommon things for His people in this season. “For with God nothing shall be impossible” Luke 1:37.  Don't let the disappointments, or victories of your past set the expectation for 2013. Have faith & believe bigger! God wants to expand you in 2013 beyond your ability (1 Corinthians 2:9). Come clean in 2013! Don't go into your next without dealing with your now. Now is the time to deal with any unforgiveness, bitterness, addiction, strife, pride, religion, shame, doctrinal arguments and all that keeps you from the fullness of God's covenant. 2013 is the year the Church will excel in the purpose that God put it in Earth for. It's the year for souls, restoration, signs, miracles, and wonders.  The schemes that the devil is plotting in 2013 can't touch you if you know your God and obey Him! “But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” Daniel 11:32. You are a warrior, not a wimp…you are a victor, not a victim…it's your time to be empowered, not entitled!

Ten years ago, my wife Christy and I launched Warrior Nations Intl. Ministries in October 2002. We took her only $500 of retirement and paid for the IRS fee to become a Not-For-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 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 given a one-time donation in 2012, would you

consider standing with this ministry again? Even on a monthly basis?

 

WNIM has everything that we do center around the Great Commission.  Warrior Nations has preached in 10 nations and seen over 58,000 decisions for Christ since 2002. Over 1,000 of those have been people called into the ministry. I was bi-vocational until 2008 and the Holy Spirit confirmed to me to stop my secular job and give more focus to the work of the ministry. The economy dropped shortly after we went into “full time ministry” but we have never looked back. Times have been tough around our nation, but our God is not in recession or depression.  Usually outreach budgets instead of building funds are the first thing t

o get cut when budgets have to adjust in churches during hard times. I’ve got good news for you, Warrior Nations hasn’t slowed down due to a budget cut, nor have we changed or stopped the mission. The WNIM mission is simple.  1. Preach the gracious Gospel of Jesus Christ in all the Earth.  2. Take a strong stand against sin. Even when it’s not popular! 3. Empower the believer in their personal walk as a Warrior of Jesus Christ.

In 2013, WNIM has a full schedule and the nations of the earth are calling out for the harvest of souls. We have meetings scheduled worldwide including: London England, Abuja Nigeria, Accra Ghana, Philadelphia PA , Knoxville TN, Port-A-Prince Haiti, West Palm Beach FL, Chicago IL, Baltimore MD, Los Angeles, CA and others. Because of your partnership, Warrior Nations is able to “GO” and YOU reap the soul winner’s reward for sending us! (Philippians 4:17)

The Grinch That Stole Christmas, by Shawn Patrick Williams

/in /by

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 will flow through your life. It is a very powerful principle 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.

From the Desk of Shawn Patrick Williams: Evangelism Update!

October 30, 2012
Dear Partners and Friends of Warrior Nations,
This is your support update letter, replacing our annual Banquet for this year, to better connect with you, our faithful co-laborers and friends of Warrior Nations. Please take a moment to read this letter and let us share with you our story and update you on the ongoing support of Warrior Nations. As we are all aware, God places mandates on individuals, as well as ministries. We want to be obedient. In order to do all that He has called us to, it takes the prayers of the saints and monetary funds. We have purposed to be good stewards and want to share with you, our Partners and Friends, what the Lord has laid on our hearts. We love you guys!
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall one will lift up his companion, but woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up… though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him and a threefold cord is not easily broken” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.

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 decision made for the Lord. We do not have a set fee to come and share with your church. We believe in the old fashion way of working with churches, which is a relationship, not a business deal.

Day of Atonement

/in /by

“Come now…though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”
Isaiah 1:18
Dear Friends and Partners,
With the Day of Atonement approaching, I can’t help but think about the blood that was shed for us. September 26 is the day that has been appointed by the Lord as a “holy day” set aside to celebrate the covenant that we are blessed to have with the Lord. Also known as Yom Kippur, Leviticus 23:27 says that we are to assemble, deny ourselves, and bring special gifts to the Lord. A day established on Israel’s sacred calendar as a covenant of repentance and promise for you, it is given to release His blessings and presence in your life. Now, I know that through the New Covenant we have access to the Lord and blessings daily through the Cross and that we celebrate as New Testament believers the atonement everyday. However, Jesus came to fulfill the law, not do away with it. If the day of atonement were only for the Old Testament, why would He say and set aside the day to be celebrated forever. We are to forever celebrate His blood shed for us through the lenses of the Old and New Testament.
There is heighten warfare around this holy day and season in the earth realm. Anyone experienced any increased financial turbulence, tribulation, confusion, supernatural activity against you and your families. The earth groans yearly with earthquakes and hurricanes in the three months around this season than any other season of the year. Why? Because the enemy knows that this is the season of atonement when we remember, glorify, celebrate, and sow to the One whose blood defeated the enemy of our souls and specific blessings and breakthroughs are released afresh: increase, revelation, fresh anointing, restoration, prosperity, deliverance, intimacy with the Lord. (Joel 2:23-28).

Your time of struggle- whether it is your marriage, your health, your finances, whatever your turbulence- is overcome through the promises of atonement. Your obedience to the Lord releases your blessings. Just as we celebrate in one day a years worth of love towards our kids for their birthdays, we have this appointed time to sow towards what the Lord did for us through His mercy.
I thank God and celebrate that through the blood, I am saved. I don’t know about you, but I am going to obey Him no matter what comes against me or hurdles I have to overcome! I encourage you to celebrate the Day of Atonement and all that He has ordained. Whatever He tells you to do, say, give, or go- just obey, not out of tradition, but out of grateful hearts. We can never go wrong obeying Him!

Gathering the Harvest for our King,
Christy Williams

Do you understand the scriptural impact of sorcery in our culture?

Beyond The Darkness World Wide Webinar
Exposing Occultism in America
by Shawn Patrick Williams
“Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.”
– John 12:35
Over the past decade there has been over a 400% increase of the occult in America. Beyond the Darkness gives you an in-depth look at how the occult is affecting our American culture. Shawn Patrick Williams brings his personal experiences, extensive research of the social and medical evidence, plus a clear scriptural foundation of how occult teachings and concepts have invaded every level of the American culture. From music to media, fantasy books to video games, Beyond the Darkness covers every major trend in the past decade that has had some measure of occult influence on this generation.
Understanding the spiritual impact sorcery plays in our society in the last days is a must have understanding for every end time believer! “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” Revelations 18:23. This is a deception that Satan will use to deceive the whole earth in and beyond the tribulation period. This “Beyond the Darkness” webinar will break down the Biblical definition of sorcery, how sorcery works, how it looks in our society, how it can deceive believers and how believers are to deal with this end time evil in the land.
Shawn Patrick tells you of his own struggle of American street life and how he became involved in occult groups. He tells of the circumstances that surrounded his dark vow and how the divine intervention of the light of Jesus Christ set him free from addiction, bondage, and the occult.
The Beyond the Darkness webinar is available through our website. Click on the “Any Meeting” Icon and it will take you straight into these webinars. The Webinar is in two parts. Oct 4th is part 1 and Oct 30th is part 2. Each night starts at 7pm. They are free! Invite someone to watch. You can stream the seminar into a sanctuary, or Bible s tudy. You can buy the book and workbook on our website store. It will help support the ministry when you buy directly from the Warrior Nations website.

Our Beyond the Darkness Exposè is another powerful outreach offered by Warrior Nations. Shawn Patrick takes his in-depth research on today’s cultural trends seen in America and exposes them with the light of God’s Word. This outreach is a multi-media experience that will grip the youth of this generation and keep their attention.

PS For the past 2 months WNIM donations have been down by 20% because of a mission schedule and summer time vacations. If you have never partnered with Warrior Nations, or haven”t given in a while, would you consider sowing a seed into revival for America today?

Being Led by the Spirit

/in /by

August 16, 1998 was a pinnacle in my understanding of being led by the Spirit of God. It was the first time I understood that being Christian has nothing to do with joining a religious group, but everything to do with a living relationship with Jesus Christ, through the leading and empowerment of His Spirit.

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Romans 8:14

1. A believer must be filled with the Spirit of God, in order to be led by the Spirit. Many “church” experiences are absent from a true Spirit indwelling and that creates a religious experience rather than a life changing relationship. I firmly believe that when you truly get saved, you receive the Spirit of Christ.

“And do not be drunk with wine, which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18

The word “filled” in Greek is translated “to be continually being filled.” It is an ongoing experience with the person of Christ, through the Spirit. If the only experience I ever had with my wife was at our wedding, I wouldn’t have an intimate relationship with her 11 years later.

2. A believer can’t be led by the Spirit, following after the world. The average young adult consumes 7 hours of media a day in some form. If the content is full of worldly content, their minds will be consumed with the voices of this world. When the voice of the Spirit tries to lead or speak to the individual, the voice of this world can’t be louder. Our Spirit gets born-again, but our mind has to be renewed by God’s word. This generation spends more time on video games and Facebook than praying and reading the Bible. When you follow the world, the world leads you. And it’s not by the Spirit of God.

3. You must be familiar with the Spirit to be led by the Spirit. I’ll never forget the first time I has a true God inspired dream. I woke up to His presence. As first, I was scared because I wasn’t familiar with the experience, nor did I know the verses and chapters of Scripture that validated the experience. Some are in Genesis, Judges, I Kings, Daniel, Job, Matthew, & other books. We must get familiar with the ways the Spirit leads His children or we will miss out on some of the spiritual road signs that He gives.

Years late I have come to understand the more familiar you are with the accounts of God interacting with man in the Bible, the easier it is to recognize the road signs God places along our paths. God never leads you to a place Scripture can’t validate or confirm. God wants to have a deep relationship with His people. That intimacy only comes through the Holy Spirit. Ask God today to touch your life with a fresh unction of the Holy Spirit. He wants to do it for you more than you know!
