Spirit-filled churches are increasingly falling into the trap of becoming a “typical church.”

(Read the associated article ⁠HERE.⁠)

I've given leadership to revival-style churches and ministries for decades. It's grieving how few Spirit-filled churches are truly taking people unapologetically into the depths of surrender to Jesus. Instead, the preference is to grow wide and shallow in the hopes that the seats stay full, the money keeps coming in and the programs are staffed.

Of course, the majority of churches, Charismatic included, aren't pretending to be concerned about revival at all. The pursuit of a wild-fire, other-worldly, supernatural habitation of the Spirit of God never even comes to mind.

The cost is too high. The chances are too slim.

To most, it's not worth it.

Christians are putting their families at great risk by participating in Halloween at any level.

The level of demonic activity around the world on this night should result in millions of Christians gathering together to pray on fire in response.

We must understand that a key role for us as Christians is to expose darkness. Strangely, instead of doing that with anointing and passion, when October rolls around, Christians—actual blood bought servants of a holy God—are actually enjoying and promoting darkness. If we understood the evil that surrounds this unholy day, we’d shout from the rooftops the danger and evil that is overcoming our culture.

There are things we are being entertained by that required a nail to be driven into the wrist of Jesus. Halloween is one of these things, and not only can we not participate, we must violently tear down this altar to Satan. As Believers we must not dance with the devil. We must expose his lies.

Are you done with this church destroying spirit? It's time to expose and tear down this demonic scheme.

In the aftermath of a covert Absalom attack a few decades ago, I was left stunned, confused and without any real resolution. So, I prayed.

“God, how can I ensure an Absalom-type attack never impacts our church again?”

His answer? Impossible. The spirit of Absalom is the primary demonic strategy against churches. It has always been this way and it will always be this way.

Wonderful. How encouraging.

In truth, I was thankful for God's straightforward honesty.

Since I couldn't avoid the attack, I asked God for a strategy against the attack. In part, this is what he revealed.

A reformation of understanding in church government is necessary.

It's time to wake up, sound the alarm and go to war.

(Read the associated article ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠.⁠)

“The dead are no threat to the enemy. The sleepers are an ally.”

War cries of victory resound from the hoards of Hell when their adversaries slumber. Truly, to be fully dead is less of a concern to the enemy than those who casually saunter through life.

Quite literally, the greatest allies of the kingdom of darkness are not witches, Satanists, murderers or abortionists (though they are on the list), they are sleeping Christians. Lukewarm, careless people who acknowledge Christ and pretend to enjoy allegiance to Jesus, unknowingly spread an eternally deadly virus through an Ichabod church. The glory of God has departed.

If you are looking for a quick and easy guide to experiencing some mystical, satisfying “buzz” called revival, you should stop reading right now. This is an invitation to accept the call to such a radical devotion that the wicked world in which we live begins to tremble.

This most certainly is a call to war.

It's easier than you think to open the door to demonization. We must be wiser than the witches.

The foundation of any ministry must be strategic, intense, fiery praying in tongues. Before any ministry was to be done, Jesus instructed his disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit.

Prayer is more important than serving, than teaching, than any form of ministry. It's foundational and it makes other ministry able to be accomplished.

Advancing toward a fulfilled mission requires a trained army. The church is that army and it requires special training.
