UFO Activity Shuts Down Military Base: What’s Really Happening in Our Skies?

By | Current Events, The Prophetic | No Comments

In an unprecedented development, Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio—one of America’s most critical military installations—temporarily closed its airfield following reports of unauthorized drone activity in restricted airspace. This isn’t just any ordinary base; it houses both the Air Force’s National Air Intelligence Center and the Space Force’s National Air and Space Intelligence Center, making it a crucial hub for analyzing air and space threats for the US intelligence community.

Robert Putterman, a spokesperson for the base, confirmed the sightings of small drones (referred to as unmanned aerial systems) near the military installation. While he assured that no facilities, assets, or residents were impacted, the decision to shut down the airfield marks an unprecedented response to unauthorized aerial activity.

The Controller Audio Evidence

Air traffic control recordings reveal the gravity of the situation. Controllers can be heard warning pilots about “heavy unknown UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) activity” and repeatedly emphasizing the need for “extreme caution.” At one point, they declared Wright Patterson military base closed—an extraordinary measure that highlights the seriousness of these events.

The actual controller transmissions included urgent warnings such as: “Patterson class Delta is sterilized as of 0330 Zulu for heavy unknown UAS activity” and “All aircraft use extreme caution. Patterson Class Delta is now closed for heavy UAS activity.” The urgency in the controllers’ voices and the repeated emphasis on “heavy” activity contradicts initial official statements that characterized the incident as minor.

Historical Context

These events echo other significant incidents of unauthorized aerial activity over sensitive military installations, though with notable differences. The most comparable historical incidents include:

  • The 2019 mysterious drone swarms over US nuclear facilities in Colorado and Nebraska
  • The 2004 USS Nimitz encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena
  • Multiple incidents in 2014-2015 involving drone activity near nuclear power plants in France
  • The 2023 series of unauthorized drone activities over sensitive military sites in Sweden

However, what sets the current situation apart is the scale of the response—the complete closure of a major military installation—and the concurrent observations of unusual orb-like phenomena interacting with the drones.

The Nuclear Connection

Adding another layer of complexity to this situation, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently issued event report #57455 regarding the loss of a radioactive source during transit in Newfield, New Jersey on December 2nd. The source, licensed to a cancer center, was being shipped for disposal when the container arrived damaged and empty—with the radioactive material missing.

This timing coincides with increased drone activity in the New Jersey area, leading some experts to speculate about potential connections. John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace, has noted connections to reports of missing nuclear warheads, though these claims require further verification.

Witness Accounts and Footage Analysis

Multiple witnesses have documented these events, with footage showing various types of aerial phenomena:

New Jersey Sightings

One witness captured footage of what they described as an “SUV-sized” drone interacting with an orb-like object in Lyden, New Jersey. The witness noted that their phone camera experienced unusual interference during filming, with the footage repeatedly blurring when attempting to focus on the objects.

Ohio Footage

Multiple witnesses near Wright Patterson Air Force Base captured footage of what appeared to be dozens of unauthorized drones operating in formation. The footage shows objects performing maneuvers that, according to aviation experts, exceed the capabilities of commercial drone technology.

Orb Interactions

Perhaps most compelling is footage showing what appears to be a luminous orb intercepting and potentially disabling a drone. Aviation experts who’ve analyzed the footage note that the orb’s movements demonstrate acceleration and directional changes that surpass known aircraft capabilities.

Expert Analysis

Several prominent figures have offered their analysis of these events:

John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace and a manufacturer of military drones, provided a detailed assessment highlighting several key points:

  • The drones observed demonstrate capabilities beyond current commercial technology
  • Their behavior suggests coordinated operation rather than individual control
  • The maneuvers observed would require sophisticated navigation systems

Military analysts speaking on condition of anonymity have noted that the response to these incursions—particularly the base closure—indicates a level of concern beyond typical unauthorized drone activity. They point to several factors:

  • The duration of the activity
  • The number of objects involved
  • The apparent technological sophistication of the craft
  • The proximity to sensitive military installations

The Orb Phenomenon

These mysterious orbs, which some experts classify as “plasmids,” have been observed:

  • Maneuvering in ways that exceed known military craft capabilities
  • Appearing to disable or interfere with drones
  • Demonstrating apparently intelligent behavior
  • Emitting unusual light patterns

Scientific definition: A plasmid is described as a coherent structure of plasma and magnetic fields that behaves like a self-contained entity, often appearing as a compact blob-like or spherical formation in a plasma environment. These phenomena can occur:

  • In space as solar flares
  • During magnetic reconnection events
  • In Earth’s atmosphere
  • In laboratory plasma experiments

Potential Explanations

Several theories have emerged to explain these events:

  1. Military Testing: These could be US military drills testing new countermeasures against potential foreign drone threats.
  2. Foreign Surveillance: The activity could represent sophisticated foreign surveillance operations.
  3. Nuclear Detection: Some speculate the drones are searching for missing nuclear materials.
  4. Advanced Technology: The orbs could represent previously unknown military technology being tested in real-world conditions.

Timing and Legislation

The timing of these events is particularly noteworthy, as they coincide with pending legislation that needs to be renewed by December 20th regarding federal authority over airspace restrictions. This has led some observers to question whether these incidents might be used to justify increased regulation of civilian airspace access.

Implications for National Security

The recent surge in unauthorized aerial activity over military installations has exposed significant vulnerabilities in our national defense infrastructure. Military analysts are particularly concerned about the apparent ease with which unknown craft can penetrate restricted airspace, suggesting our current detection and deterrence systems may be inadequate against emerging aerial technologies. This weakness becomes especially concerning when considering the proximity of these incursions to facilities handling sensitive intelligence and military operations.

The current state of our airspace monitoring capabilities has also come under scrutiny. With military officials admitting to spending only $500,000 annually on airspace monitoring, questions arise about whether this level of investment is sufficient given the sophisticated nature of modern aerial threats. The incidents have highlighted a critical gap between our defensive capabilities and the rapidly evolving landscape of drone and autonomous aircraft technology.

Perhaps most alarming is the emergence of new types of aerial threats that don’t conform to conventional understanding of aircraft capabilities. The reported orbs and their apparent ability to disable other aircraft represent a technological leap that current security measures may not be equipped to handle. This raises serious concerns about the protection of critical infrastructure, including nuclear facilities, military bases, and other sensitive installations.

The adequacy of existing regulations and security measures has also been called into question. Current frameworks were largely designed to address traditional aircraft and early-generation drone technology. The appearance of more advanced craft, potentially operated by foreign actors or even non-state entities, suggests a urgent need to reassess and update these protocols. Additionally, the coordination between military and civilian air traffic control systems may need significant enhancement to address these new challenges effectively.

Looking Forward

The trajectory of these events points toward several critical developments that will likely shape the future of aerial security and civilian aviation. The relationship between the observed drones and orbs represents a technological mystery that could fundamentally change our understanding of aerial capabilities. If these phenomena represent previously unknown technology, whether domestic or foreign, their revelation could trigger a significant shift in military doctrine and defensive strategies.

The influence of these incidents on upcoming airspace legislation cannot be overstated. With critical regulations pending renewal, these events may serve as a catalyst for more stringent controls over civilian airspace access. This could lead to a fundamental restructuring of how we manage our skies, potentially limiting private and commercial drone operations in ways that significantly impact emerging industries and technologies.

The military response to these incursions will likely result in substantial changes to installation security protocols. We may see the implementation of new detection systems, enhanced electromagnetic defense capabilities, and more sophisticated anti-drone measures. These changes could extend beyond military facilities to other critical infrastructure, creating a new standard for aerial security in sensitive areas.

The impact on civilian access to airspace may be the most far-reaching consequence of these events. As government agencies grapple with these new threats, we could see the implementation of more restrictive regulations on civilian drone operations, enhanced licensing requirements, and expanded no-fly zones. This could significantly affect industries ranging from commercial delivery services to aerial photography, while also influencing the development of urban air mobility initiatives.

Conclusion

While many questions remain unanswered, one thing is clear: we are witnessing an unprecedented series of events that challenge our understanding of current aerospace capabilities and raise important questions about national security. As more information becomes available, it will be crucial to maintain a balanced approach between security concerns and public access to airspace.

The situation continues to develop, with new reports emerging regularly. This story represents a complex intersection of military security, technological advancement, and public safety that will likely have far-reaching implications for how we manage and monitor our airspace in the future.

Mysterious Drones in New York: Airport Shutdown Raises Questions About Security and Legislation

By | Current Events, The Prophetic | No Comments

Since mid-November 2024, I’ve been closely monitoring an intriguing development in the New York/New Jersey area – numerous reports of unidentified drones observed over military installations and residential areas. As a New York City resident myself, I find these sightings particularly noteworthy because we’re accustomed to all manner of aerial activity around our airports. When NYC metro residents, who regularly see commercial aircraft, helicopters, and normal drone activity, start reporting something unusual – it’s worth paying attention to.

Official Response vs Public Concern

White House National Security Communications advisor John Kirby has stated that many of these sightings are simply misidentified legal aircraft. However, this explanation hasn’t satisfied many local residents or government officials. In fact, New Jersey government officials have publicly requested clarity – if these are US government craft, they believe citizens deserve to know.

DroneAnalyzing Possible Explanations

After extensive research and analysis of thousands of reports, let me break down what I believe are the most likely explanations for these mysterious craft. It’s important to note that we’re likely dealing with multiple phenomena rather than a single explanation.

US Military Operations

The most straightforward explanation could be U.S. military craft conducting training exercises. According to the Department of Defense’s own documentation (defense.gov), military drone capabilities now include:

  • Advanced sensor arrays
  • Long-range surveillance systems
  • Autonomous operation capabilities
  • Stealth technology
  • Swarm coordination abilities

What makes this explanation both compelling and concerning is the scale of operations. If these are indeed U.S. military craft, the scope of testing over civilian areas suggests preparation for significant operations. The military typically conducts such tests at designated facilities like Area 51 or White Sands Missile Range. Moving these operations to populated areas could indicate:

  1. Testing civilian response patterns
  2. Evaluating urban operation capabilities
  3. Preparing for domestic security scenarios
  4. Training for operations in similar urban environments abroad

However, this raises an important question: Why wouldn’t officials simply acknowledge these as military operations to ease public concern? The silence from higher authorities while local officials demand answers suggests either compartmentalization of information or something more complex at play.

Foreign Government Activity

A more concerning possibility is that these could be foreign government craft conducting surveillance or testing US airspace security. This would represent a significant security concern, especially given current global tensions.  Several factors make this scenario plausible:

Chinese Capabilities

China has demonstrated advanced drone swarm technology and has been known to conduct aggressive intelligence operations. Their drones could be:

  • Mapping critical infrastructure
  • Testing U.S. defense responses
  • Gathering electromagnetic intelligence
  • Assessing civilian response patterns

Russian Operations

Given current global tensions, Russian surveillance operations can’t be ruled out. Russia has:

  • Demonstrated sophisticated drone capabilities
  • Shown willingness to probe Western defenses
  • Conducted similar operations in other regions
  • Developed advanced stealth technology

Multi-National Efforts

We might be witnessing coordinated efforts by multiple foreign actors, each testing different aspects of U.S. airspace security.

Commercial/Recreational Drones

While some sightings may be misidentified commercial or recreational drones, many reports describe craft that are significantly larger and more sophisticated than typical civilian drones. Several factors make this an insufficient explanation for all cases:

  1. Size Discrepancy: Many reports describe craft significantly larger than commercial drones
  2. Flight Characteristics: Witnesses report maneuvers beyond typical drone capabilities
  3. Duration: Some observations last longer than typical drone battery life
  4. Altitude: Many sightings occur well above legal drone ceiling limits
  5. Restricted Areas: Several incidents involve highly controlled airspace

Conventional Aircraft Misidentification

As I discovered during my recent visit to Washington DC, some viral photos and videos of alleged mysterious craft can be explained by camera artifacts or misidentified conventional lights and aircraft. I personally recreated one such viral photo near the Capitol, demonstrating how regular aircraft lights could create seemingly mysterious formations.

Some sightings might be explained by:

  • Atmospheric optical effects
  • Weather balloons
  • Light refraction phenomena
  • Camera artifacts
  • Astronomical events

However, multiple radar confirmations and professional observer reports suggest something more tangible in many cases.

Biblical and Spiritual Perspectives

As someone who studies both secular and theological viewpoints, I find it interesting to consider historical biblical accounts of aerial phenomena. Several passages describe events that, to ancient writers, might have appeared similar to modern UFO sightings:

The Elijah Account

In 2 Kings 2:11, we read of Elijah’s departure: “As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.” This account is particularly interesting because it describes a physical vehicle of transport, not just a spiritual vision. The witnesses described it using terms they understood – chariots and horses – but the fiery nature and its ability to travel into the heavens suggests something beyond normal ancient transportation.

Ezekiel’s Vision

Ezekiel 1:4-28 provides one of the most detailed accounts of what modern readers might interpret as an advanced vehicle or craft. The prophet describes “wheels within wheels,” beings with multiple faces, and something “like gleaming metal” (Ezekiel 1:4). The complexity of this description suggests Ezekiel struggled to describe something far beyond his cultural reference points.

The Book of Zechariah

Zechariah 6:1-8 details four chariots emerging from between mountains of bronze. Each chariot had different colored horses and was dispatched to different parts of the earth. This account suggests a global scope of operation and organized deployment, interesting to consider in light of current worldwide drone operations.

The Bigger Picture

What fascinates me most about these sightings is how they fit into broader patterns of unusual events we’re witnessing globally. We’re seeing increasing tensions in the Middle East, particularly around Damascus (which has prophetic significance in Isaiah 17), growing technological capabilities, and rapid social changes.

Exercising Discernment

As someone who values both scientific and spiritual understanding, I believe it’s crucial to approach these phenomena with balanced discernment. When analyzing unusual events, we should:

1. Investigate natural explanations first
2. Consider governmental/military possibilities
3. Maintain awareness of spiritual dimensions
4. Avoid jumping to conclusions
5. Document and verify claims when possible

Preparation vs Panic

I firmly believe we should exchange panic for preparation. Whether these sightings represent military preparations, foreign surveillance, or something else entirely, our response should be measured and wise. As 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Moving Forward

As we continue to monitor these situations, it’s important to stay informed while maintaining perspective. I’ll continue tracking these developments and examining them from both practical and spiritual viewpoints.

For those interested in diving deeper into these topics, I recommend:

  • Following official Department of Defense updates
  • Monitoring local government statements about the sightings
  • Studying historical patterns of similar phenomena
  • Understanding prophetic biblical passages about end-time events
  • Maintaining a balanced approach to unusual phenomena

Conclusion

While some of these sightings may have conventional explanations, others remain mysterious. The key is to avoid both blind skepticism and uncritical acceptance. Instead, we should carefully examine evidence while remaining open to various possibilities – whether natural, technological, or spiritual.

As we move forward, let’s remember that unusual events often serve as catalysts for deeper understanding and preparation. Whether these drones represent military operations, foreign activity, or something else entirely, they remind us to stay vigilant and discerning in these remarkable times.

H5N1 Bird Flu and Biblical Prophecy: A Christian Perspective on Preparation

By | Current Events, The Prophetic | No Comments

As someone who’s been studying both scientific developments and biblical prophecy for years, I feel compelled to address the growing concerns about H5N1 bird flu and its potential implications. Drawing from both scientific research and spiritual insight, I want to share my perspective on why we need to be vigilant yet hopeful in these challenging times.

The Science Behind H5N1: Understanding the Current Threat

Scientists have been warning about the pandemic potential of H5N1 for years, and recent developments have heightened these concerns. This deadly strain of avian influenza has already devastated bird populations worldwide. While human infections have been rare, the virus’s extremely high mortality rate has always been a major concern for the scientific community.

A recent study published in the prestigious journal Science has revealed something particularly alarming: a single mutation in the virus’s genetic code could potentially enable it to spread easily between humans. This mutation would affect the virus’s protein responsible for binding to host cells, essentially changing its target from bird cells to human cells.

Woman wearing mask to avoid H5N1Recent Developments: The Canadian Case Study

One particularly concerning case involves a Canadian teenager who contracted H5N1. Despite having no underlying conditions, this young person ended up in the ICU after experiencing conjunctivitis followed by respiratory symptoms. When scientists sequenced the virus from this case, they found mutations that could enable better infection of human cells and potentially support human-to-human transmission.

What makes this case especially worrying is that the mutation did not reduce the virus’s severity. Typically, when viruses mutate to become more transmissible, they often become less lethal. However, in this case, the virus maintained its high pathogenicity while showing signs of adaptation to human hosts.

Biblical Perspective on Pestilence and Preparation

In Matthew 24:7, we read about nations rising against nations, kingdoms against kingdoms, and the occurrence of famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. While these events have occurred throughout history, we’re seeing an unprecedented convergence of these signs in our current time.

However, it’s crucial to understand that biblical prophecy isn’t just about predicting disasters – it’s about preparing God’s people for challenges while maintaining hope and faith. The Bible consistently shows us that in times of crisis, God positions people strategically to help others and advance His kingdom.

The Difference Between Panic and Preparation

I’ve always emphasized that there’s a crucial difference between panic and preparation. When I warned my staff before the last pandemic to save money and prepare, it wasn’t about creating fear – it was about exercising wisdom. Those who heeded this advice were better positioned to weather the storm that followed.

Practical Steps for Preparation

Spiritual Preparation

  1. Daily Prayer and Devotion
    • Set aside dedicated morning prayer time for protection and guidance
    • Develop a consistent Bible reading plan
    • Keep a prayer journal to track God’s faithfulness
    • Practice praying in the Spirit for enhanced spiritual discernment
    • Memorize key scriptures, especially those about God’s protection like Psalm 91
  2. Community Building
    • Connect with a local church
    • Join a small group for mutual support and accountability
    • Build relationships with other believers who can offer spiritual encouragement

Physical Preparation

  1. Health Optimization
    • Maintain a strong immune system through proper nutrition
    • Get regular exercise to build physical resilience
    • Establish good sleep patterns for overall health
    • Stay properly hydrated daily
  2. Essential Supplies
    • Stock non-perishable food items that your family regularly consumes
    • Store clean water (1 gallon per person per day for at least 2 weeks)
    • Keep basic first aid supplies and over-the-counter medications, as well as a supply of any necessary prescribed medications
    • Have backup power sources for essential devices
  3. Financial Preparation
    • Build an emergency fund covering 3-6 months of expenses
    • Keep some cash on hand in case of banking system disruptions
    • Reduce or eliminate unnecessary debt

Mental and Emotional Preparation

  1. Information Management
    • Stay informed through reliable news sources without becoming overwhelmed
    • Set boundaries on news consumption
    • Verify information before sharing or acting on it
    • Keep important documents organized and easily accessible
    • Maintain a list of emergency contacts
  2. Family Planning
    • Create and regularly review family emergency plans
    • Establish meeting points and communication protocols
    • Practice emergency procedures with family members
    • Keep important documents in a secure, accessible location
    • Ensure all family members know basic emergency procedures
  3. Skill Development
    • Learn basic medical and first-aid skills
    • Develop practical skills like food preservation
    • Understand basic emergency protocols
    • Acquire skills that could be valuable during challenging times

Historical Parallels and Divine Positioning

Throughout biblical history, we see examples of God positioning people during times of crisis. Consider Joseph, who was placed in authority over Egypt during a time of famine. Or David, whose confrontation with Goliath led to his eventual kingship. These examples show us that challenges often become platforms for God’s provision and promotion.

The Role of Prophecy in Modern Times

While we must be careful to test all prophecy, we shouldn’t dismiss it entirely. There’s a balance between biblical discernment and prophetic insight. The key is to anchor all prophetic words in Scripture while remaining open to how God might speak to His people today.

Global Implications and Spiritual Warfare

What we’re witnessing isn’t just a potential health crisis – it’s part of a larger spiritual battle. The convergence of multiple challenges – from potential pandemics to technological advances, from social upheaval to economic uncertainty – points to a time of increasing spiritual warfare and the need for greater spiritual discernment.

Hope in the Midst of Crisis

Despite these sobering realities, we have reason for hope. During the last pandemic, we saw unprecedented opportunities for ministry and spiritual growth. Many churches expanded their reach, new ministries were birthed, and people became more open to spiritual conversations.

Preparing with Purpose

As we face these potential challenges, our response should be neither panic nor passivity, but purposeful preparation. We need to:

1. Stay grounded in Scripture
2. Maintain strong prayer lives
3. Build resilient communities
4. Exercise practical wisdom
5. Trust in God’s sovereignty

Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Whatever challenges lie ahead, we can face them with confidence, knowing that God positions His people strategically during times of crisis.

As we navigate these uncertain times, let’s remain vigilant while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Whether or not H5N1 becomes the next global challenge, our call remains the same: to be light in darkness, to serve others with love, and to stand firm in our faith.

The key isn’t just surviving what’s ahead – it’s being positioned to help others and advance God’s kingdom in the midst of it all. Let’s prepare with wisdom, pray with faith, and trust in God’s faithful provision for whatever lies ahead.

Preparing for Turbulent Times: A Spiritual Perspective on Current Events

By | Current Events | No Comments

As a pastor and spiritual leader, I feel compelled to share my thoughts on the critical times we’re facing. Many of us sense that we’re on the cusp of significant changes, and it’s crucial that we prepare ourselves spiritually and mentally for what’s to come. In this post, I’ll discuss the challenges we’re likely to encounter and offer guidance on how to navigate them from a faith-based perspective.

The Urgency of Our Current Situation

We’re running out of time. Right now, we’re in a narrow window of opportunity to prepare for major events that will shape the future of our nation and the world. As someone who has spent the past year traveling to various countries and meeting with dignitaries, mayors, governors, and government officials behind closed doors, I’ve gained insights I feel compelled to share.

Key Points:

  • We have a limited time to prepare for significant changes
  • Major decisions in the coming months will have far-reaching consequences
  • Spiritual discernment is crucial in recognizing the signs of the times

Three Potential Scenarios

When considering the upcoming major decision in the United States, I see three possible outcomes, each with its own set of challenges:

  1. If one candidate wins, the country could experience mass hysteria.
  2. If another candidate wins, we might see widespread unrest.
  3. A “black swan” event could occur, preventing either candidate from winning and leading to the emergence of an unexpected alternative.

Regardless of which scenario unfolds, we’re likely heading into a period of chaos. It’s essential that we prepare ourselves spiritually and mentally for these possibilities.

The Three Phases of Spiritual Warfare

As we navigate these turbulent times, I believe we’ll experience three distinct phases of spiritual warfare. Understanding these phases can help us prepare and respond effectively.

1. Division

We’re currently in the first phase: division. The enemy is working hard to divide the body of Christ, creating rifts over secondary issues and preferences that ultimately don’t matter. This division weakens us, making us more vulnerable to spiritual attacks.

Why division is dangerous:

  • It isolates believers, making us weaker
  • It contradicts Jesus’ prayer for unity among His followers
  • It hinders our ability to effectively spread the Gospel

2. Mass Deception

Following the period of division, I anticipate we’ll enter a phase of mass deception. With the advent of artificial intelligence and rapidly changing events, it will become increasingly difficult to discern what’s real and what’s not.

Challenges in the deception phase:

  • Difficulty in verifying information
  • Increased confusion and uncertainty
  • Potential for widespread manipulation

3. Destruction

The final phase, if we’re not prepared, could be destruction. This doesn’t necessarily mean physical destruction, but rather the breakdown of social structures, trust, and spiritual foundations.

Potential consequences:

  • Erosion of faith and values
  • Breakdown of social order
  • Spiritual disorientation and loss

God’s Counter-Strategy

While the enemy seeks to divide, deceive, and destroy, I believe God has a counter-strategy to protect and empower His people. This strategy involves three key steps:

1. Destroy the Works of Darkness

God wants to demolish the strongholds of the enemy in our lives, breaking cycles of sin and spiritual oppression.

2. Deliver Us Fully

Once the works of darkness are destroyed, God seeks to deliver us completely from deception and generational bondages.

3. Deploy Us into Our Destiny

Finally, God wants to send us out, equipped and prepared, to fulfill our divine purpose in these critical times.

The Importance of Mental and Spiritual Preparation

While many people are focusing on physical preparations, such as stockpiling food and water, we mustn’t neglect our mental and spiritual readiness. Without a strong foundation in these areas, even the best physical preparations may prove insufficient.

Key areas of preparation:

  • Strengthening our faith through prayer and Bible study
  • Developing discernment to recognize truth in a world of deception
  • Building strong connections with other believers for support and accountability

The Role of Wisdom and Insight

In times like these, we need voices of wisdom and insight to guide us. Many of the spiritual giants of previous generations have passed on, leaving a gap in leadership. I believe God is raising up new voices to provide the strategies and wisdom we need for this season.

Characteristics of godly wisdom:

  • Rooted in Scripture
  • Confirmed by the Holy Spirit
  • Practical and applicable to current challenges

The Power of Unity in the Body of Christ

Despite the enemy’s attempts to divide us, it’s crucial that we strive for unity among believers. Jesus prayed for our unity, and it’s in our togetherness that we find strength and effectiveness in our spiritual warfare.

Ways to promote unity:

  • Focus on core doctrines rather than secondary issues
  • Practice forgiveness and reconciliation
  • Collaborate across denominational lines for kingdom purposes

Preparing for Freedom in Challenging Times

As we face these challenges, it’s important to remember that true freedom comes from God, not from political parties or governments. We must be prepared to stand firm in our faith and live out the genuine freedom that comes from Christ.

Elements of true spiritual freedom:

  • Liberation from sin and its consequences
  • Freedom from fear and anxiety
  • The ability to live according to God’s purposes

A Call to Action

In light of these insights, I want to challenge each of you to take action:

  1. Strengthen your spiritual foundation: Dedicate time daily to prayer, Bible study, and worship.
  2. Develop discernment: Practice evaluating information through the lens of Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
  3. Build community: Connect with other believers for support, encouragement, and accountability.
  4. Prepare your mind: Educate yourself on current events and biblical prophecy, but always filter this knowledge through a spiritual perspective.
  5. Be ready to serve: As challenges arise, look for opportunities to be a light in the darkness and to serve those in need.

Conclusion: Standing Firm in Faith

As we navigate these uncertain times, let’s remember that our hope is not in earthly systems or leaders, but in Jesus Christ. By preparing ourselves spiritually and mentally, we can not only survive the challenges ahead but also thrive as we fulfill God’s purposes for our lives.

Let’s stand firm in our faith, support one another in love, and be ready to shine the light of Christ in even the darkest of times. Together, as the unified body of Christ, we can make a significant impact for the Kingdom of God in this critical moment in history.

Remember, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). Let’s move forward with confidence, knowing that ultimately, God’s purposes will prevail.

A Prophetic Dream Leads to Expansion: V1 Church’s New Manhattan Initiative

By | Current Events, The Prophetic | No Comments

Recently, I experienced a profound prophetic dream that has set in motion a series of events that will shape the future of the church I’m the lead pastor of, V1 Church. In this blog post, I want to share with you this extraordinary journey, from the dream itself to the exciting new initiatives we’re launching. Join me as I recount how a vision is becoming reality and how we’re answering the call to win souls for Christ.

The Prophetic Dream: A Message from Tim Keller

Several months ago, I had a dream that left an indelible mark on my spirit. In this vivid vision, I found myself walking the streets of Roosevelt Island, situated between Brooklyn and Manhattan. As I strolled along, a young man dressed in a 1970s-era suit approached me.

“Hey Mike, it’s me. Don’t you remember me?” he said.

Confused, I replied, “No, who are you?”

“It’s Tim,” he answered.

Still puzzled, I asked, “Tim, who?”

“Tim Keller,” he revealed.

I was astounded. In reality, I had been mentored by Tim Keller and his team years ago as part of a program for young church planters in New York City. Seeing him in this dream was both surprising and significant.

“Tim, what are you doing here?” I inquired.

His response was cryptic yet compelling: “I have to show you something.”

A Divine Direction: The Financial District

Tim led me to the edge of Roosevelt Island and pointed towards the financial district of Manhattan. His words were clear and prophetic:

“Mike, if you’ll enter the financial district of Manhattan and answer their questions, they will answer your prayers.”

With those words echoing in my mind, I awoke from the dream. As with all prophetic experiences, I knew this vision needed to be tested and confirmed.

The Current State of the Body of Christ: A Call to Action

Recently, during a meeting with our church elders, I shared my deep concern about the current state of the global Body of Christ. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the numerous factions, rivalries, divisions, and immaturity that seem to plague our spiritual community.

I felt a strong calling to bring our church, V1, back to the place of radical soul-winning – to win the lost at any cost and bring them to the cross. This vision resonated with our elders, but they raised a practical concern: once fall arrives and people return to their normal rhythms, we already don’t have enough room in our current locations.

A Bold Solution: Evening Services in Manhattan

Without revealing my dream, I proposed a solution: “What if we open up evening services? Instead of burdening Long Island, New Jersey, and Brooklyn with figuring out how to do evening services separately, what if we converged in Manhattan for a shared location?”

The elders were receptive to this idea, stating that if God provided a venue in Manhattan, they would recognize it as a sovereign move.

Divine Confirmation: The Financial District Connection

Guided by this agreement, I reached out to my network of pastors in Manhattan. One suggested I contact the pastor of Liberty Church. When I inquired about venue space for an evening service, his response was nothing short of miraculous:

“Absolutely. We have a fixed installation with all the equipment, all the chairs, it’s ready to go, and we are just waiting for a church. We’ve been looking for a church to do evening services.”

Excited by this opportunity, I asked for the location. His answer sent chills down my spine:

“It’s located in the financial district.”

In that moment, I felt the fear of God grip my heart as I realized that the dream I had months ago was being divinely and sovereignly fulfilled before my eyes.

Launching V1 Manhattan: A Soul-Winning Initiative

With this incredible confirmation, I’m thrilled to announce that we are launching a new initiative this September. We will begin evening services in the financial district of Manhattan, believing that this move will result in 1000 souls being saved.

But our expansion doesn’t stop there. V1 Miami is opening a second location for evening services in another church, fully equipped and ready to go. V1 Indiana is also opening its doors. Across all our revival homes and regions, I believe we will lead 1000 people to Christ.

The Long Island Update

Now, I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting news about our building on Long Island. Here’s where we stand: We’ve already put down hundreds of thousands of dollars for a down payment. Recently, I had to request an extension because what seemed like a bureaucratic block – they’re asking for more architectural plans – I believe is actually demonic resistance.

I’m asking for your prayers. Join me in believing that this hurdle will be overcome and that our next announcement will be about our fixed installation home on Long Island.

Returning to Our Core Mission: Soul-Winning and Discipleship

While we continue to work on our physical expansion, I believe our primary focus must be on becoming a soul-winning church like never before. We need to return to the great commission of making disciples who make disciples.

This is a call to action for all of us. Here’s how you can be part of this exciting new chapter:

  1. Financial Support: Consider sowing financially into this vision. Your contributions will directly support our expansion and soul-winning efforts. You can give to V1 Church here.
  2. Join the Manhattan Team: If you’re feeling called, consider moving to New York City to help us fulfill this mandate. We need passionate believers who are ready to reach the lost in one of the world’s most influential cities.  You can join the V1 Dream Team here.
  3. Prayer Warriors: Whether you’re local or part of our extended V1 family, we need your prayers. Pray for the Manhattan initiative, for the Long Island building, and for the souls we will reach.
  4. Spread the Word: Share this vision with others. The more people who know about what God is doing, the more impact we can have.  Details on our Manhattan location will be available here. 

A Vision for Growth and Impact

With the launch of V1 Manhattan, we’re growing from five locations to six. But more importantly, we’re recommitting ourselves to leaving the 99 for the one – and believing that the one will turn into 1000.

This expansion is not just about numbers or locations. It’s about answering God’s call to reach the lost, to be a light in the darkness, and to bring hope to a world that desperately needs it.

The Significance of the Financial District

The location of our new Manhattan service in the financial district is not a coincidence. As I reflect on the dream and Tim Keller’s words, I believe God is calling us to engage with the heart of New York’s business world.

The financial district represents influence, power, and resources. By establishing our presence there, we’re positioning ourselves to impact decision-makers, leaders, and influencers who can, in turn, impact the world for Christ.

Moreover, this location challenges us to answer the questions of a secular, success-driven world with the truth and love of the Gospel. As we do so, I believe we’ll see God answer our prayers in extraordinary ways.

A Call to Radical Faith and Action

As we embark on this new chapter, I’m reminded of the faith it takes to step out and follow God’s leading. This initiative is not without its challenges. We’re entering one of the most competitive and expensive real estate markets in the world. We’re challenging our congregation to commit to evening services, which may disrupt their usual routines.

But I believe that when we step out in faith, God shows up in power. This is a time for radical faith and bold action. It’s a time to believe that God can use our church to spark a revival in the heart of New York City and beyond.

The Vision for 1000 Souls

When I say we’re believing for 1000 souls to be saved, it’s not just a catchy slogan or an arbitrary goal. It’s a vision that I believe God has placed in my heart. Each of these 1000 represents a life transformed, a family impacted, and a potential world-changer for the Kingdom of God.

Imagine the ripple effect of 1000 new believers in New York City, Miami, Indiana, and across our other locations. Imagine the testimonies, the healings, the restored relationships, and the transformed communities. This is what we’re contending for.

A Personal Invitation

As I close, I want to extend a personal invitation to each of you reading this. Whether you’re a long-time member of V1 Church, a curious visitor, or someone who’s just stumbled upon this blog, you have a part to play in this vision.

If you’re in New York, Miami, or Indiana, I invite you to join us for these new evening services. If you’re elsewhere, I invite you to pray, to support, and to spread the word. And if you’re feeling a stirring in your spirit as you read this, maybe it’s time to consider a bold move – to join us in New York or one of our other locations to be part of this soul-winning movement.

Let’s Go, V1!

As we grow from five locations to six, as we step into the financial district of Manhattan, as we believe for 1000 souls to be saved, I’m filled with anticipation for what God is about to do. This is more than church growth; it’s about fulfilling the Great Commission and being about our Father’s business.

Who’s with me? Let’s go, V1! Let’s answer the call, step out in faith, and watch as God moves in power. The best is yet to come, and I believe we’re on the cusp of seeing a mighty move of God in our cities and beyond.

Are you ready? The harvest is plentiful, and the workers are needed. Let’s win souls, make disciples, and change the world – one life at a time.

The Sonya Massey Shooting: A Spiritual and Law Enforcement Perspective

By | Current Events, Demons, Spiritual Warfare | No Comments

In recent days, a tragic incident has captured national attention and sparked important conversations about police conduct, racial dynamics, and even spiritual warfare. The shooting death of Sonya Massey by a sheriff’s deputy in her own home has raised numerous questions and concerns. As a lead pastor committed to addressing challenging issues through a biblical lens, I recently sat down with Edwin Perez, a retired NYPD officer and fellow pastor at V1 Church, to discuss this event from both a law enforcement and spiritual perspective.

Understanding the Sonya Massey Incident: A Brief Overview

For those unfamiliar with the case, Sonya Massey called the police to her home, reporting concerns about a potential prowler. What should have been a routine call ended in tragedy when Massey was fatally shot by one of the responding officers. The incident was captured on body camera footage, allowing for public scrutiny of the events that transpired.

As we began our discussion, I emphasized the importance of addressing this issue: “Now, why are pastors talking about this? Not only is there a racial component, but also a supernatural one. There is a conversation unfolding right now on TikTok among Gen Z, and we’re going to look at some of the posts and comments about demons.”

Law Enforcement Protocol: What Should Have Happened?

Given Pastor Edwin Perez’s background in law enforcement, I asked him to provide insights into proper police procedures in situations like this. He explained:

“Depending on the nature of the call, it doesn’t seem like it was clear. But at that point, she gave all of the responses that were enough to say, okay, this scene is done with. So it should have really stopped right there.”

Perez went on to express confusion about why the officers continued to press the issue and ultimately entered Massey’s home: “I don’t even know what the rationale was. There’s not enough reasonable suspicion to go into the person’s house, especially if that individual is the 9-1-1 caller and making the claim.”

Escalation of Force: Examining the Officer’s Actions

As we delved deeper into the incident, we discussed the concerning escalation of force used by the officer. Perez highlighted several issues with the officer’s tactics:

1. Poor initial approach: “Even from the beginning of him going into the home, there are poor tactics. She’s allowed to go into her purse.”

2. Skipping levels of force: “As a police officer, we have certain use of deadly physical force, but there are certain levels that you go to. It seems that particular, this officer disregarded all the other levels and just went right for the deadly physical force.”

3. Improper use of lethal force: “I know from my training, I can’t speak to Illinois, but I know for New York City, we are trained to shoot center mass, so there is no shooting in the head.”

The Spiritual Component: Discernment and Demonic Influence

While the racial and procedural aspects of this case are significant, our conversation took an unexpected turn as we explored the spiritual implications being discussed online, particularly among Gen Z viewers on TikTok.

I shared some of the comments I had observed:

“She saw the devil in that man.”

“I don’t really believe in demons and stuff like that, but that video has me questioning.”

This led us to consider the possibility of demonic influence in such extreme acts of violence. As a pastor, I believe it’s crucial to address the spiritual realm when discussing events that seem to defy rational explanations.

Rebuking in Jesus’ Name: A Moment of Spiritual Discernment?

One of the most striking aspects of the incident was Massey’s use of spiritual language just before she was shot. I explained:

“She has the pot of boiling water, and then there’s this dialogue back and forth almost. And it seems as if the cop takes it as a provocation, but she says, I rebuke you in Jesus’ name.”

This moment has sparked significant discussion online, with many viewers, even those who don’t typically believe in the supernatural, questioning whether Massey sensed a spiritual threat.

I read a particularly poignant comment from TikTok:

“I am not religious. But for her to say, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus with no weapon, multiple feet away from the officer, and him immediately saying, you better effing not, I swear, I’ll shoot you in the effing face. And drawing his gun with intent to kill her makes me truly believe that she did see and felt evil in him.”

The Aftermath: Failure to Render Aid

Beyond the shooting itself, Perez pointed out another disturbing aspect of the incident – the officer’s failure to attempt any life-saving measures:

“The Illinois state law for whenever something like this happens, actually says, when the use of force by an officer causes injury to another, the officer will evaluate the subject’s physical condition and render first aid and request emergency medical assistance as soon as practical and safe to do so. The fact that he didn’t even do that was already against what he was taught in the academy.”

This disregard for established protocol further underscores the problematic nature of the officer’s actions throughout the encounter.

Spiritual Warfare: Recognizing the Battle

As we concluded our discussion, I emphasized the importance of recognizing the spiritual battle that underlies many of the conflicts we see in society:

“According to the book of Ephesians, we are in a spiritual battle. And there are not three teams. It’s not God, the devil, and us. It is we either choose we are 100% with Jesus Christ, or you are by default 100% with the devil.”

This perspective challenges us to look beyond surface-level explanations and consider the spiritual forces at work in situations of extreme violence and injustice.

A Wake-Up Call: Demons, God, and Spiritual Reality

While the Sonya Massey shooting is undoubtedly a tragedy, I believe God can use even the darkest moments to awaken people to spiritual realities. I shared my hope for how this incident might impact a generation:

“This to me is awakening a generation to the possibility that demons are real. And if demons are real, then that means God is real. And so I believe that God will take a tragedy like this that seems to have no meaning at all. And out of that cause people to open up the door to the possibility of the demonic, which would then lead to the next door, which is the angelic and God.”

Praying for Healing and Awakening

In light of this tragic event and its potential spiritual implications, I led a prayer for Sonya Massey’s family, our nation, and those who may be struggling with demonic influence:

“Heavenly Father, I pray right now for the United States of America as we prepare for Sonya Massey’s funeral. Lord, that in the midst of this, you would open the eyes of a generation to see that the spiritual realm is real. And Father, I thank you that You’re bringing freedom through the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ.  We thank You that even in the midst of these things that don’t make any sense, You can still get purpose from them. I pray for healing. I pray for restoration and peace in the midst of these difficult times. In Jesus name, amen.”

Finding Freedom and Deliverance

For those who resonated with the spiritual aspects of our discussion, I want to emphasize that there is hope and freedom available through Jesus Christ. If you find yourself struggling with dark impulses or sensing an evil presence in your life, know that deliverance is possible.

Our ministry regularly helps hundreds of people find freedom from spiritual bondage. We offer prayer support and ministry resources to those seeking to break free from demonic influence and find peace in Christ.

A Call for Awareness and Action

The Sonya Massey shooting serves as a stark reminder of the complex issues facing our society – from racial tensions and police conduct to the often-overlooked spiritual dimensions of human behavior.

As we approach turbulent times, including an upcoming election and increasing social division, let us not lose sight of the potential for revival and awakening. By acknowledging both the natural and supernatural forces at work in our world, we can better equip ourselves to be agents of positive change and bearers of God’s light in dark places.

I encourage you to share this message with others who may be seeking understanding or struggling with their own spiritual battles. Together, we can work towards a society that is both just and spiritually aware, guided by the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

The Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump – A Spiritual Perspective

By | Current Events, Spiritual Warfare | No Comments

As a pastor and spiritual leader, I felt compelled to address the recent shocking events that unfolded at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The assassination attempt on the former president has sent shockwaves through the nation. In this blog post, I’ll break down what happened, explore the spiritual implications, and discuss why this event may be a crucial turning point for our nation.

What We Know So Far

Just moments ago, during a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump appeared to have been shot. Eyewitnesses report hearing a loud pop, followed by Trump grabbing his ear and quickly dropping to the ground. When he emerged, surrounded by Secret Service agents, blood was visible on his face and ear.

While details are still emerging, this incident represents a significant escalation in the political tensions gripping our nation. As of now, it seems that Trump is safe, but the implications of this event are far-reaching.

The Spiritual Battle Behind the Headlines

As Christians, we must understand that what we’re witnessing is not merely a political struggle. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:12 that “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.”

This assassination attempt, if confirmed, is a manifestation of a much deeper spiritual battle raging in the heavenly realms. We must open our eyes to discern what’s really happening behind the scenes.

Prophetic Warnings Coming to Pass

It’s worth noting that several respected prophetic voices in the body of Christ, including Perry Stone and Joseph Z, had recently warned of potential attempts on Trump’s life. This incident serves as a sobering reminder of the accuracy of modern-day prophecy and the importance of heeding these warnings.

As believers, we must stay attuned to what the Holy Spirit is saying through His prophets in these tumultuous times.

The Significance of Trump as a Target

We must ask ourselves: Why is Trump such a threat that someone would attempt to assassinate him? What does he represent that poses such a danger to certain powers and principalities?

While I’m not endorsing any political candidate, it’s crucial to understand the spiritual implications of Trump’s policies and positions, particularly regarding issues like support for Israel, pro-life stance, religious freedom, and traditional values.

These positions align with biblical principles and directly challenge many of the demonic agendas at work in our society today.

Discerning the Times: A Call to Spiritual Awareness

Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their inability to discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). As His followers, we must not make the same mistake. This incident is a wake-up call for the body of Christ to:

1. Increase our prayer and intercession
2. Develop greater spiritual discernment
3. Prepare for intensified spiritual warfare
4. Stand firm in our faith and biblical values

The Battle Against Deception and Confusion

One of the hallmarks of satanic activity is deception. We’re living in an era where, as Isaiah 5:20 warns, “evil is called good and good is called evil.” This confusion is evident in many areas of society, including gender identity issues, moral relativism, redefinition of marriage and family, and attacks on religious freedom.

As believers, we must stand firm on the truth of God’s Word and not be swayed by the spirit of deception running rampant in our culture.

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Demonic Influence

A particularly concerning development is the increasing use of AI bots to manipulate public opinion. We’ve recently seen reports of Russia deploying AI bots across social media platforms to sway conversations and shape narratives.

This technological advancement presents a new frontier in spiritual warfare. Many believers may unknowingly be engaging with demonic forces masquerading as human opinions online. We must exercise extreme caution and discernment in our digital interactions.

A Call to Prayer and Intercession

In light of these events, I believe God is calling His people to a renewed focus on prayer and intercession. We must:

1. Pray for the safety and protection of our leaders, regardless of political affiliation
2. Intercede for our nation, asking God for mercy and revival
3. Pray for the exposure of hidden agendas and demonic schemes
4. Ask God for increased discernment and wisdom for His people

The Power of Unity in the Body of Christ

Jesus prayed for the unity of believers in John 17. In these divisive times, it’s more important than ever that we come together as the body of Christ. We must:

  • Focus on our shared faith in Christ
  • Avoid unnecessary divisions over non-essential issues
  • Love one another, even when we disagree
  • Present a united front against the forces of darkness

Preparing for Revival and Harvest

Despite the darkness we see, I believe God is preparing His church for a great revival and harvest of souls. We must stay alert and watchful.  We need to be ready to share the gospel at all times.  It’s important to cultivate a lifestyle of prayer and fasting and operate in the gifts of the Spirit, including prophecy and discernment.

The Importance of Spiritual Disciplines

In these challenging times, it’s crucial that we strengthen our spiritual lives through:

  • Regular Bible study and meditation
  • Consistent prayer and intercession
  • Fasting and self-denial
  • Active participation in a local church body

A Time for Bold Faith and Action

As we navigate these perilous times, God is calling His people to rise up with bold faith and decisive action. We must speak truth in love, even when it’s unpopular.
It is vital that we stand firm on biblical principles.  We need to be willing to suffer for our faith if necessary.  And we must trust in God’s sovereignty and ultimate victory.

A Pivotal Moment in History

The assassination attempt on Donald Trump marks a significant turning point in our nation’s history. As believers, we must recognize the spiritual implications of this event and respond accordingly.

Let us not be caught unaware or unprepared. Instead, let’s rise to the occasion, standing firm in our faith, interceding for our nation, and shining as lights in an increasingly dark world.

Remember, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). No matter what challenges we face, our hope remains secure in Christ. Let us move forward with confidence, knowing that ultimate victory belongs to our Lord.

Will you join me in praying for our nation, for discernment, and for a great outpouring of God’s Spirit in these last days? The time is short, but our God is mighty. Let’s make every moment count for His kingdom.

Breaking Through Demonic Resistance

By | Current Events, Demons | No Comments

Do you ever feel like you’re taking two steps forward, only to be pushed three steps back? Like there’s an invisible force resisting your progress in life? Many of you are experiencing that mental warfare right now, where nothing is physically holding you back, but an unseen resistance keeps you from moving forward.

I’ve been there. Even the Apostle Paul admitted to being “hindered by Satan” (1 Thessalonians 2:18) at times. If someone of Paul’s spiritual authority faced demonic resistance, we shouldn’t be surprised when we encounter it too. The reality is, when you’re doing something big for the Kingdom of God, you’ve got a target on your back.

The Source of Resistance

Sometimes the resistance we face is simply our own flesh or lack of understanding. But often, there’s a demonic element at play, seeking to discourage, tempt, and fill us with doubt and fear. The enemy wants to get inside our heads and convince us to destroy ourselves.

When I stepped out in faith to plant V1 Church in New York City, I experienced incredible resistance. We had barely enough to scrape by from week to week. On the eve of our move, I lacked the funds to secure our first apartment. It wasn’t until a prophetic friend handed me a check for the exact amount needed, with a note saying, “He split the seas so you can walk right through,” that provision came.

The Importance of Covenantal Relationships

One of the key solutions to overcoming demonic resistance is covenantal relationships, not just transactional ones. You can’t do it alone. Just as Jesus sent out the disciples two-by-two, we need each other.

My friend and fellow minister Evan Wilson and I have been through the trenches together. We’ve fought for each other, served each other selflessly, and given each other strength when the other was weak. True covenant says, “I will not leave, no matter what.”

The Power of Knowledge

When Jesus was tempted by Satan, He didn’t sing worship songs – He quoted Scripture, rightly divided. There’s power in knowing and speaking the truth of God’s Word. The enemy comes with lies and false narratives, but we can combat those lies with the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God.

Evan and I have had to endure slander, gossip, and division. But we’ve gone back to the truth of what God said about our vision and calling. We’ve reminded each other of God’s promises when the lies tried to shake our faith.

The Importance of Identity

At the core, our ability to resist demonic resistance comes down to our identity in Christ. Paul didn’t see his title as “Apostle” but as “a servant of Christ Jesus” (Romans 1:1). My titles are “son” and “servant” – I represent the One whose righteousness covers me.

When we’re rooted in that servant identity, clothed in Christ’s righteousness, we realize the resistance isn’t against us personally but against the One we represent. The enemy hates the image of Jesus he sees in us. But we can stand firm, knowing our identity is in Him.

A Prophetic Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank you for touching those who need this word supernaturally. May your grace and anointing cause them to break through every yoke of bondage. We cancel every demonic assignment against them in Jesus’ name.

Father, you are sovereign over their lives – the enemy is not. Release a breakthrough for them, a supernatural persistence to outlast the enemy’s resistance. Shift their identity to see themselves as ministers of the gospel, called to stand firm for the truth in this digital age.

Unite and connect them with a Spirit-led community to cheer them on and help them complete the journey you’ve called them to. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, may they declare, “We will not bow to the things of this world, but we will stand firm for the gospel.”

Thank you for giving us knowledge to combat the enemy’s lies and people to lock arms with in covenant relationship. We praise you for the victory in Jesus’ name! Amen.

The Invitation

The Prophetic Urgency to Become a Digital Tent Maker

By | Current Events, The Prophetic | No Comments

Over the years, the Lord has allowed me to build a significant online platform and reach millions around the world with the gospel. But this assignment wasn’t just for my own “ministry success.” I now believe it was preparation for an urgent mission – to raise up and equip an army of digital tent makers before a major storm hits the global economy.

A Shifting Financial Landscape

I’ll be upfront – my recent conversations with my friend Evan Wilson have been soaked in a sense of prophetic urgency. We’re eyewitnesses to patterns that cannot be ignored:

  • Major bank executives abruptly retiring in 2025-2026.
  • The U.S. dollar’s reign as the global reserve currency nearing its end.
  • Rapid AI proliferation displacing human workers across sectors.

To the natural eye, these seem like simply economic or technological trends. But to those with spiritual discernment, these are signposts marking an inescapable transition on the horizon. An entire system is changing before our eyes.

Just as I warned my staff years ago to “save money” because I sensed something coming before the pandemic, I’m now getting that same gut-punch from the Lord: “Get ready – but saving alone won’t be enough this time.”  

We need additional streams of income and provision models tailored to this new digital landscape. In other words, we need an army of digital tent makers.

The Rise of the Digital Tent Maker

In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul was a tent maker by trade. This allowed him to earn income as he traveled, funding his ministry activities through his own skills and labor. It was the original “business as mission” model.

What if modern-day ministers embraced the same entrepreneurial priority – using legitimate online business activities to provide for themselves while taking the gospel to penetrate new digital territories?

I’m witnessing it happen already through the digital platform God has allowed me to steward. Everyday believers from all walks of life – from mothers and mechanics to teachers and tradesmen – are replacing or supplementing their incomes online. Through consistent content creation, sheer discipline, and Internet-based businesses, they’re becoming modern tentmakers.

Some have been able to leave secular jobs behind completely, like the French woman I met earning a full income from making “soaking music” broadcasts on YouTube! Others use their additional income to invest in missions, support other ministries and kingdom callings, or provide for their families while working from home.  

My heart burns with a vision to raise up and multiply these types of digital tent makers over the next 18 months and beyond. To see one hundred, one thousand, or more Christian content creators, teachers, preachers, and entrepreneurial evangelists operating in abundance and economic freedom. To occupy online spaces and digital territories for the Kingdom instead of merely consuming what’s fed to us.

This isn’t about chasing online fame or wealth for wealth’s sake. It’s about utilizing ethical, innovative income models to strategically reach people with the hope of Jesus – just as Paul used tent making pragmatically to fund his church planting labors.

Embracing Your Digital Tent Making Assignment  

Of course, the journey won’t be easy – any God-assigned goal worth achieving will require diligence and tenacity. My friend Evan and I have put in 9 years of grinding, filming videos daily, and learning on the front lines what works and what doesn’t online.

But you can accelerate the process by receiving the lessons we’ve learned. That’s why we’ve created a free video training to download, unpacking 6 proven strategies tailored specifically to this season’s social media algorithms and digital trends.

I’m calling you to become more than a passive content consumer. Shift your identity to that of a producer, a creator, a digital tent maker forging your own way supported by legitimate online business models and revenue streams.

Let our testimonies awaken your hunger to join this rising breed of entrepreneurs preaching the good news of the Kingdom through lifestyle, education, and digital media.    

This is a divine moment – a sifting between those merely observing and those radically embracing the new landscapes opening up before us. Receive this prophetic urgency. Quit delaying for “perfect circumstances.” If you’ve heard the Lord’s clarity on this subject, I’m inviting you to act now through faithful, bold obedience.

The days of containment and limitation are over. 2024 and beyond beckon a sending of digital tent makers reaching homes, cities and nations previously inaccessible to us.

It’s time to awaken to your full Kingdom assignment and potential. Let’s be found ready for that moment together.
