This book is a combination of over 30 years in ministry. In its colorful pages, you will find a complete encyclopedia on how to prepare for a great move of God and experience a true life changing revival in your heart and in your ministry
This purpose for writing this book is to share some truth and insight to the body of Christ concerning the lax condition of some churches today.
All one need to do is show up early before a church meeting and observe the attitude of the ones gathered.
There is no regard for the lost, no burden for souls and some are even gathered in their corners of gossip.
Some churches today tend to resemble a social gathering with no regard for the lost but an out-of-control society catching up on the latest trends and this is the breeding ground for the start of apostasy in the church today.
It is like gathering in a movie theater and everyone is waiting for the show to begin. According to scripture being fulfilled before our very eyes, we are living in the Laodicean church age as spoken of in the book of Revelation Chapter 3:14.
Saints, we are ripe for one of the greatest moves of God the world has ever witnessed and this book read prayerfully and put into action will guarantee true life changing revival in your heart and in your ministry.
Excerpt
THE SPIRIT OF TRAVAIL
Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what to pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered."
Beloved, this book would not be complete without addressing the spirit of travail which is lacking in some churches today.
The word speaks in 1 Corinthians the 2nd chapter, that the Spirit of God searcheth all the deep things of God.
In Romans 8:26 we read of the intercession of the Holy Spirit.
This is what we call getting into the spirit of prayer.
The Holy Spirit helps our inability to pray intelligently about situations by praying with unutterable groaning. These groans are not voiced as words but are a special intercession toward God's will in the situation.
God, the Spirit, knows what the Father's will is for our life.
He is able to turn our prayer around and make it more acceptable to God. Church, this is what we call praying in the spirit of travail because we are standing in proxy or place for the one, we are interceding for.
Saints, in many churches today, you will never hear much said about the spirit of intercession and praying until you pray through, but it is real, and it does get results.
There are people in the body of Christ who are called to this special gift. Beloved, I once had a prayer intercessor come to me with tears and a broken spirit.
When I inquired what was bothering her, I was shocked at her answer. Someone had told her that she did not have an important position in the Lord's body being a prayer intercessor.
Saints, sometimes a prayer intercessor will go hours without sleep praying for a ministry to be successful that souls would be saved, and lives would be changed.
I asked this young lady if she could see her heart to which she rightly replied no I cannot see my heart.
I asked her how she knew that it was there, and she replied because she was alive. I replied that if she needed it to pump blood through her body that she might live then it makes her dependent upon its function for her to sustain life.
She replied, "Yes that is right." I said very intently with a loud voice, "You are the heart, without you and others like you; no ministry could stand the onslaughts of the enemy".
Beloved, when a person gets into the spirit of intercession and travail, they are doing spiritual warfare in the heavenly realm.
They sometimes can feel the pain in their belly of some unseen trap or attack aimed against the one they are interceding for.
The spirit of travail in intercession can be likened to the birth pains that a woman soon to give birth would experience.
The word of God in Isaiah 66:8 says that when Zion (church) travailed, she brought forth her children. But the word also gives warning in another place that the children have come to birth and there is not enough strength for the birth.
Church, we all know what happens when this happens in the natural.
The mother could die and pose a threat for what is in her also to die.
Dear God, please help us realize that we are up against a real enemy who does not like us because we are made in the likeness of our creator.
Church, we need to get alone with God and spend some quality time in prayer and intercession. Jesus left us the example to follow as he would be up all-night praying and talking with His heavenly Father.
Saints, I remember having the spirit of travail come upon me while preaching the word.
I was in so much travail that I was stooped over holding my belly from the intense pain.
The church was about to give birth and God was allowing me to experience the battle going on in front of me for the souls gathered in this meeting.
God bless the dear saints of God today who will give up precious sleep to moan and agonize before the throne of God for the souls of men.
Beloved, God knows he can count on these precious warriors at a minute's notice, and they will drop everything to do service for the King.
Beloved, we find in Luke 22 that Jesus speaks informing us that as the Father has given unto him a Kingdom, he has given unto us.
Beloved, it is time to get past the cross and realize who we are in Christ.
We find in John 14 that Jesus speaks of going to prepare us a place and most ministers preach that he is speaking about heaven but in reality, he is speaking about the cross.
He is speaking in John 17 about the Glory which he had with God before the world was.
The scriptures also state that Christ was slain before the foundation of the world.
Beloved, the scriptures also state that all creation is waiting with groans for the Sons of God to be manifested.
Beloved, Christ went to the cross to prepare us away to get to God and all that we lost in Adam we gained through Christ and are now translated out of the fallen kingdom of darkness into the new covenant and kingdom of God where we are recognized as Sons and daughters of the Most-High God.
Beloved, there is no curse in this Kingdom that can keep us in bondage but only blessing where we can rule and reign with Him.
Satan challenged God on justice and that is where and why we exist today. God spoke everything into existence, but He got personal when He made Adam from the dust of the earth and put his cell structure together with a glue-like substance called Laminin which is in the shape of a cross.
Saints, Jesus bore that same cell structure therefore when we need to become an intercessor for someone, we can remember Psalms 91 where God states that he remembers our frame that we are but dust but also visualize who we are in his Kingdom and do spiritual warfare against an enemy that has already been unseated and defeated.
If you long to discover your spiritual gifts, understand your calling, and become more effective in God's Kingdom, this book will provide a solid biblical foundation for your journey.
Warriors is your essential guide to reigniting your spiritual fire, deepening your connection with God, and breaking down the barriers that separate your loved ones from His divine purpose.
