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.

Prophetic Word: Be Still and Put Down Your Armor

By | Spiritual Warfare, The Prophetic | One Comment

The Urgent Message Few Are Hearing

I’ve been feeling a strong urgency in my spirit lately about a message that God is speaking to His people, but many aren’t listening. It’s both simple and profound: “Be still and know that I am God.” For those of you who are warriors and fighters, I understand that this might be the hardest message to receive. You’ve spent your entire life fighting – but now God is calling you into a different season.

The Time Before the Time

We’re currently in what I call “the time before the time.” There’s a false sense of security spreading across the world. People think everything is settling down, that we’re entering a golden age. But what I’m sensing in the spirit is that we’re actually in a crucial preparation period – the calm before the storm.

The Warrior’s Greatest Challenge

For those of us who have always been fighters, this message presents a unique challenge. I recently received a powerful vision: I saw the Lord trying to remove armor from His soldiers, but their skin had become fused to it. The process of removing it was painful, literally ripping their skin, because they had worn it for so long.

Think about David – we often celebrate his victories against giants, but we rarely talk about his seasons of rest. He knew when to fight, but he also knew when to retreat to the stronghold. This balance is critical for our spiritual journey.

The Divine Pattern of Rest

Consider God’s pattern in creation: He worked for six days and rested on the seventh. Not because He needed to, but to establish a divine principle for us. This Sabbath rest isn’t just a suggestion – it’s a strategy. When our mouths are open, God’s mouth is closed. But when we choose to be still, to listen, that’s when He speaks.

The Metamorphosis of Stillness

I want you to picture a caterpillar entering its cocoon. During this transformation period, everything seems inactive. The caterpillar, once busy foraging and eating, now appears to be doing nothing. But in reality, it’s undergoing the most profound change of its existence – becoming something entirely new.

This is exactly what God is calling many of us into right now. It might feel like inactivity, especially for those of us who are used to constantly strategizing and making things happen. But here’s the revelation: Sabbath is the strategy. Rest is the strategy.

The Trap of Comparison

One of the biggest hindrances to entering this season of stillness is comparison. You might be looking at others advancing, achieving, and moving forward, thinking, “I should be doing more.” But what if God’s calling for you right now is to do less? What if His plan for you requires a season of being still?

Investing in Your Spiritual Growth

This season of stillness isn’t about doing nothing – it’s about investing in yourself spiritually. It’s about allowing God to pour into you instead of always being the one pouring out. Just as I recently enrolled in a master’s of theology program after 25 years of ministry, sometimes we need to position ourselves to receive rather than always give.

Breaking Free from Self-Sabotage

For many of us, the biggest battle isn’t external – it’s internal. We struggle with condemnation, shame, and an orphan spirit that drives us to constantly prove our worth. But here’s the truth: your identity is inherited, not achieved. You don’t earn it through accomplishments or accolades. You receive it as a beloved child of God.

The Promise of Divine Rest

Remember this powerful promise: “He gives His beloved sleep.” God wants to give you not just physical rest, but spiritual renewal. He wants to speak to you through dreams and visions, but first, you need to learn to be still enough to receive them.

A Call to Action

If you’re reading this and feeling a resonance in your spirit, I encourage you to take these steps:

1. Acknowledge where you’ve been relying on your own strength
2. Give yourself permission to rest
3. Create intentional times of stillness
4. Release the need to constantly achieve
5. Trust that God is working even when you’re still

Conclusion

Being still doesn’t mean being inactive – it means positioning yourself to receive from God in a new way. In this season, let’s embrace the challenge of stillness. Let’s allow God to remove our battle-worn armor and heal our wounds. Remember, sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is simply be still and know that He is God.

For those who have always been warriors, this might be your hardest battle yet. But it might also be your most important victory. In the stillness, you’ll find not just rest, but transformation, renewal, and a deeper revelation of who God is and who you are in Him.

Urgent Warning: Prophetic Events Unfolding in Israel and Beyond

By | Spiritual Warfare, The Prophetic | One Comment

As a pastor and apostolic voice, I feel compelled to share an urgent message about the events unfolding in Israel and around the world. We are witnessing prophecy come to life before our eyes, and it’s crucial that we understand the times we’re living in and how to respond as believers.

Breaking News from Israel: Missiles and Ground Attacks

I just received word from my dear friend and fellow minister, Pastor Josh Hamstra, who is currently in Tel Aviv, Israel. He reported that Iran has launched hundreds of missiles towards Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel. Even more alarming, there are reports of ground attacks by terrorists in Jaffa.

Pastor Josh is currently in a bomb shelter with many others, including women and children. The situation is dire, but he remains strong in his faith. He shared a powerful message: what may look like judgment is actually protection. God is using these circumstances to position His people for their divine assignments.

Global Superstorms and Economic Turmoil

While the situation in Israel is grabbing headlines, there are other significant events occurring simultaneously that we must pay attention to:

1. The National Hurricane Center has reported multiple new hurricane formations.
2. U.S. ports have gone on strike, potentially causing major supply chain disruptions.
3. There are reports of widespread cellular network outages across the United States.

These events, happening concurrently, point to a time of great shaking and upheaval. But as believers, we must remember that God is still in control and working all things for His purposes.

The Prophetic Significance of October

I recently shared a prophecy about the month of October being pivotal for those who operate in the spirit. We’re seeing this unfold in real-time. The plans of the enemy are being revealed openly, just as the Lord showed me.

But there’s more to this prophecy. Many believers will enter the “birthing room” by the end of October, stepping into their next assignment before the enemy can fully initiate his plans. Personal prophecies will come to pass, and great doors of opportunity will open for those who have remained faithful.

Preparing for What’s Ahead: Practical and Spiritual Steps

In light of these events, it’s crucial that we prepare ourselves both practically and spiritually. Here are some steps I encourage you to take:

1. Stock up on Essentials

While we don’t operate in fear, we do exercise wisdom. Consider stocking up on non-perishable food items, water, and other essential supplies. This isn’t about panic buying, but about being prepared to care for your family and potentially help others in need.

2. Strengthen Your Spiritual Foundation

Now more than ever, we need to be grounded in God’s Word and walking closely with Him. Make prayer and Bible study a daily priority. If you don’t already have a regular prayer routine, start one today.

3. Discover and Step into Your Purpose

Many of you are being called to step into new assignments in this season. Whether it’s starting an online ministry, launching a business, or serving your community in a new way, now is the time to act on what God has placed in your heart.

4. Spread the Gospel

In times of uncertainty, people are more open to hearing about the hope found in Jesus. Be bold in sharing your faith and leading others to Christ. This is our greatest calling and most important task in these last days.

Understanding the Times: A Black Swan Event?

Recently, there’s been talk of a potential “Black Swan” event – an unforeseen occurrence with significant, far-reaching consequences. While we can’t predict exactly what will happen, we must be vigilant and discerning.

As believers, our ultimate hope isn’t in any earthly leader or system, but in Jesus Christ. No matter what happens in the political realm or on the world stage, we know that God’s purposes will prevail.

The Remnant is Rising

Despite the challenges we’re facing, I’m filled with hope and excitement for what God is doing. The American church as we’ve known it may be declining, but the remnant – those truly sold out for Jesus – is rising up.

We’re seeing a separation of the wheat from the tares, the real from the fake. The power of God is increasing to meet the challenges of our time. Just as Elijah faced off against the prophets of Baal, we’re in a showdown with the forces of darkness. But we know who wins in the end!

A Call to Action: Join the End-Time Army

As we navigate these turbulent times, I want to invite you to join me in being part of God’s end-time army. Here are some ways you can get involved:

1. Subscribe to my channel and stay connected for updates and teachings.
2. Pre-order my new book, “Inherit Your Freedom,” which will equip you for the days ahead.
3. Consider becoming a monthly partner to support our ministry efforts around the world.
4. Join us for upcoming events, like the Breakers Conference in Chicago.

Remember, we’re not just spectators in these last days – we’re active participants in God’s plan. It’s time to rise up, step into our divine assignments, and be the light in a darkening world.

Closing Thoughts: Hope in the Midst of Chaos

As we wrap up, I want to leave you with a message of hope. Yes, the world may be in turmoil, but our God is greater than any storm, any threat, any challenge we may face. He has positioned us for such a time as this.

Just as Jonah emerged from the belly of the whale to fulfill his divine assignment, many of you are about to be thrust into your greatest purpose. What looks like darkness and uncertainty is actually God’s way of positioning you for your finest hour.

Stand firm in your faith. Stay alert and vigilant. And most importantly, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.

Let’s press on together, knowing that our labor in the Lord is not in vain. The best is yet to come for those who remain faithful to the end.

God bless you, and remember – no matter what happens, Jesus is Lord!

spiritual lethargy

Prophetic Word: Overcoming Spiritual Lethargy

By | Spiritual Warfare, The Prophetic | No Comments

Lately, I’ve noticed a concerning trend sweeping across our communities. Many people are experiencing unprecedented levels of exhaustion, lethargy, and what social media has dubbed “couch rot.” This phenomenon goes beyond mere physical tiredness – it’s a spiritual attack designed to keep God’s people from fulfilling their divine purpose. Today, I want to share a powerful word that the Lord gave me for many of you who are struggling with this very issue.

The Enemy’s Attack on Your Energy and Purpose

Let me be clear: I believe the enemy is actively attacking many people with extreme fatigue, passivity, and a lack of motivation. This attack is so potent that it’s defying logical explanations – even those with healthy diets and exercise routines are finding themselves inexplicably drained. If you’re nodding your head right now, know that this message is for you.

Recognizing the Spiritual Battle

The first step in overcoming this attack is recognizing it for what it is – a spiritual battle. The enemy knows your potential and is doing everything in his power to keep you sidelined. But here’s the good news: the very fact that you’re under such intense attack is a testament to the threat you pose to the kingdom of darkness.

God’s Call: From Hard to Impossible

Now, let me share something that might surprise you: God has not called you to do hard things. Stay with me here – I know your life might feel incredibly difficult right now, but that’s not the end of the story. God hasn’t called you to hard things; He’s called you to impossible things.

The Difference Between Hard and Impossible

Here’s the key distinction:
– Hard things require more effort
– Impossible things require more faith

God isn’t asking you to try harder. He’s inviting you to step into the realm of faith, where the impossible becomes possible through His power.

Preparing for Upheaval: The Coming Months

In the next couple of months, we’re facing a significant decision here in the United States. Without going into specifics, I can tell you that we’re headed for some level of chaos regardless of the outcome. But here’s the paradox – it’s precisely in these moments of upheaval that God often draws forth His people into their greatest purpose.

Historical Precedents of Purpose in Chaos

Consider these biblical examples:
– David needed Goliath’s taunts to step into his destiny
– Joseph required a famine to rise to leadership in Egypt
– Daniel faced Nebuchadnezzar’s idol to showcase his faith

Many of you are cursing the very situations that God has designed to propel you into your destiny. That job loss? It might just be God removing your false destiny to align you with your true calling.

From Lethargy to Purpose: Embracing the Impossible

The lethargy and tiredness you’re experiencing? It’s not just a physical issue – it’s a spiritual wake-up call. The enemy is trying to immobilize you because he’s afraid of what will happen when you fully step into your God-given purpose.

Understanding the Enemy’s Strategy

The devil knows how to read a seed. Just as a farmer can distinguish between apple and pear seeds, the enemy can see your potential before it’s fully realized. He’s attacking you now because he knows what you’re capable of becoming.

Preparing for Your Finest Hour

Believe it or not, you’re just months away from stepping into the greatest significance of your life. But to get there, you need to shift your perspective from doing hard things to embracing the impossible through faith.

The Role of “Inherit Your Freedom”

This is why I wrote my book, “Inherit Your Freedom.” It’s not just a book – it’s a playbook for navigating the turbulent times ahead and stepping into your divine purpose. The overwhelming response to this book (over 40,000 pre-orders after a single livestream) confirms to me that God is preparing His people for something big.

Overcoming Physical and Spiritual Attacks

I want to be transparent with you – I’m currently in the midst of a water-only fast because I’ve been experiencing unprecedented attacks on my physical body. The enemy hates when we step out in faith and see miracles happen. But this opposition is just further confirmation that we’re on the right track.

The Power of Prayer and Fasting

If you’re feeling under attack, I encourage you to join me in prayer and fasting. Let’s stand together against the enemy’s schemes and declare God’s victory over our lives.

A Prayer for Healing and Breakthrough

Father, I thank you right now for supernatural healing from the top of their heads down to the soles of their feet. I cancel every assignment of the enemy by the blood of the Lamb. I speak to every demon of infirmity and sickness, commanding them to loose their hold in Jesus’ name.

Lord, I thank you for supernatural energy and strength upon strength in their bodies. Rejuvenate and restore your people. For those struggling with sleep, I declare an increase in both quality and duration of rest.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Embracing God’s Call to the Impossible

As we wrap up, I want to leave you with this final thought: God did not call you to do hard things. The world does hard things. God called you to do the impossible. And here’s the beautiful truth – impossible things don’t require more work; they require more reliance on Him.

Steps to Stepping Into Your Purpose

1. Recognize the spiritual nature of your fatigue
2. Shift your focus from hard work to impossible faith
3. Trust God’s process, even in chaotic times
4. Prepare your mind, spirit, and emotions for what’s ahead
5. Stand firm against the enemy’s attacks through prayer and fasting
6. Lean into God’s strength, not your own

Conclusion: Your Time is Now

You are on the brink of your finest hour. The very opposition you’re facing is proof of the threat you pose to the enemy’s kingdom. Don’t shrink back – lean in. Trust God. And watch as He does the impossible through you.

Remember, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

The world is waiting for you to step into your God-given purpose. It’s time to inherit your freedom and become the answer to the confusion and chaos around us. Your greatest impact lies just ahead. Are you ready to embrace the impossible?

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.

A Million Esthers Breaking Witchcraft & Shifting Nations with Lou Engle

By | Revival, The Prophetic | No Comments

As a pastor in New York City, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing extraordinary moves of God in recent years. But nothing could have prepared me for the profound encounter I recently had with prophetic voice Lou Engle. Our conversation revealed a divine convergence of spiritual streams that I believe will shape the future of our nation. In this blog post, I’ll share the key insights from our dialogue and why I’m convinced we’re on the cusp of a massive spiritual breakthrough.

The Power of the Blood Covenant

Lou Engle began our conversation by emphasizing the centrality of the blood covenant in this season. He shared a dream he received 20 years ago about a “great communion revival” that would break division among believers. Lou believes we’re entering a time when the power of Christ’s blood will manifest in unprecedented ways, bringing revival and awakening.

This resonated deeply with me, as I’ve been led to preach on the blood covenant in recent services. There’s a growing sense that the Church needs a fresh revelation of the power of Christ’s sacrifice. As Lou put it, “I don’t think we’ve had the kind of revelation that we need.” This hunger for deeper understanding is a sign of what’s to come.

New York City: The Heart of Revival

One of the most exciting aspects of our conversation was Lou’s sense of calling to New York City. He feels led to fast for 40 days in our city, from September 1st to October 9th. As he shared this, I was reminded of a prophetic word we recently received about New York being like the heart of the body of Christ for America.

I shared with Lou how we’ve seen incredible favor in the city, including filling Times Square for a massive evangelistic event. The coverage of this gathering went viral in multiple countries. Lou was visibly moved by this, recognizing it as a sign of the spiritual momentum building in our city.

There’s a sense that New York is both “ground zero for the demonic and the heavenly.” The spiritual battle is intense, but the potential for breakthrough is immense. As Lou put it, “New York City is like the heart to squeeze the blood through the body” of our nation.

Breaking the Power of Sexual Immorality

A significant portion of our conversation focused on Lou’s burden for seeing a breakthrough in the area of sexual morality, particularly regarding the LGBTQ+ community. He shared a prophetic word he received about a coming wave of salvation and transformation among this group.

Lou believes we’re in a season where the “Ishtar spirit” – associated with sexual immorality and gender confusion – is being confronted. He sees a parallel between the biblical story of Esther and the current cultural moment. Just as Esther was used by God to overthrow a spirit of death and save her nation, Lou believes God is raising up modern-day “Esthers” to break the power of sexual immorality and bring deliverance.

The Fall of Roe v. Wade and Its Prophetic Significance

Lou shared powerful testimony about his years of prayer and fasting for the overturning of Roe v. Wade. He recounted standing before the Supreme Court, pleading the blood of Jesus for 18 years. Lou believes the recent fall of Roe is not just a political victory, but a prophetic sign of greater breakthroughs to come.

He shared a dream he received in 2012 about two tornadoes threatening to destroy America, labeled with the letters “AHA” – representing abortion and the homosexual agenda. With the fall of Roe, Lou senses that we’re on the verge of seeing the second “tornado” toppled as well.

This perspective challenges us to see current events through a spiritual lens, recognizing the long-term impact of persistent prayer and prophetic declaration.

The Call for a Million Esthers

Perhaps the most stirring part of our conversation was Lou’s vision for mobilizing a million women to fast, pray, and break witchcraft off America. He’s organizing a massive gathering on October 12th, the Day of Atonement, believing it to be a pivotal moment for our nation.

Lou shared how this vision came to him in a moment of divine urgency. On April 13th (4/13), he felt compelled to “seize the defining moment” and begin mobilizing immediately. The confirmations he received, including a chance encounter with a woman reading a book called “The Esther Anointing,” left no doubt that this was a God-ordained mission.

As he shared these details, I was struck by the connection to our church’s name – V1 Church. In aviation, V1 represents the “go/no-go” point, the moment of decision where a pilot must commit to takeoff. It felt like a divine confirmation that we’re entering a season of no turning back.

A Divine Timeline Converging

Throughout our conversation, there was a palpable sense that we’re living in a moment of divine convergence. The very fact that Lou was sharing these insights at our church, just two doors down from a nightclub where people had been partying all night, seemed symbolic of the clash of kingdoms taking place.

I shared with Lou how we’ve been contending for breakthrough in New York City for the past decade, and how encouraged I was by his words. The recent filling of Times Square for our event feels like a precursor to even greater moves of God.

Lou affirmed this, reminding me that New York is a “gate city” – historically the entry point for immigrants and spiritually a place of both great darkness and great light. He emphasized the importance of “standing at the gates” in spiritual warfare, believing that as we do, “the gates of Hades will not prevail.”

A Call to Action

As we concluded our time together, I felt a weighty sense of responsibility to share this message far and wide. This is not a moment for passivity or mere spectating. As Lou put it, we’re either called to be “Mordecais” who release and support modern-day Esthers, or we’re called to be Esthers ourselves, stepping into the frontlines of spiritual battle.

To those reading this blog, I want to emphasize: You are not here by accident. The fact that you’re engaging with this message is a divine confirmation of your role in this unfolding story. Whether you’re called to attend the gathering on October 12th or to support it through prayer and fasting, your participation is crucial.

This is not a time for streaming from the sidelines or staying comfortable at home. We’re in a season that demands our full engagement and sacrifice. The spiritual stakes are too high for half-hearted commitment.

Seizing the Moment

As I reflect on my conversation with Lou Engle, I’m filled with a mixture of sobriety and excitement. The challenges before us are immense, but the potential for breakthrough is even greater. We’re standing at a V1 moment in history – a point of no return where we must commit to “taking off” in faith.

Let this blog post serve as a rallying cry. Whether you’re in New York City or reading this from across the globe, you have a part to play in this unfolding story. Let’s join together in prayer, fasting, and bold action. Let’s believe for the seemingly impossible – for sexual brokenness to be healed, for witchcraft to be broken, and for a great awakening to sweep our land.

The convergence is here. The defining moment has arrived. Will you answer the call?

Standing Strong in the Face of Persecution: Lessons from a Pioneering Pastor in Rome

By | Persecution, The Holy Spirit, The Prophetic | No Comments

As a minister of the gospel, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to many nations and encountering believers from all walks of life. However, my recent trip to Italy left an indelible mark on my soul. In the heart of Rome, I had the honor of sitting down with a true spiritual warrior, Pastor Francesco Basile, a man who has devoted his life to advancing the Kingdom of God in the face of relentless opposition. Our conversation was a powerful reminder of the reality of persecution that countless believers worldwide endure daily, and the unwavering strength required to stand firm in the face of adversity.

A Family Legacy of Faith

Francesco’s story is one that resonates deeply with me. Like many of us, he comes from a lineage of courageous believers who chose to break away from the shackles of tradition and embrace the transformative power of the Gospel. His father, the first in their family to encounter Jesus, faced immense pressure and rejection, even being told he couldn’t marry Francesco’s mother unless he remained within the confines of Catholicism.

Yet, through it all, the Basile family remained steadfast in their commitment to Christ, planting churches and raising a generation of uncompromising believers. Francesco himself is a testament to this legacy, having planted three churches in Italy, a nation where Christianity has long been viewed with skepticism and hostility.

Facing the Storm of Persecution

As we delved deeper into our conversation, Francesco shared the challenges he has faced as a spirit-filled Christian in a predominantly secular society. The secular media, he revealed, often portrays those like him as members of a cult or sect, twisting words and misrepresenting their motives. It’s a tactic reminiscent of the spirit of Jezebel in Scripture, which sought to assassinate the character of those who stood for truth.

Francesco’s story is a sobering reminder that the persecution we face today is not limited to physical violence or overt oppression. The subtle, insidious attacks on our credibility and integrity can be just as damaging, seeking to undermine our witness and discredit the very message we proclaim.

The Power of a Personal Encounter

Despite the onslaught of opposition, Francesco’s resolve remains unwavering, fueled by a deep, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. He recounted how, at the age of 19, amidst the guilt and shame of his past, his eyes were opened to the reality of the spiritual realm. He could discern the thoughts and motives of those around him, a gift that ultimately led him to surrender his life to Christ.

This transformative experience not only delivered Francesco from the chains of addiction and destructive behavior but also ignited a hunger for a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit. It’s a hunger that has sustained him through the storms of persecution, enabling him to persevere and remain steadfast in his calling.

The Weapons of Our Warfare

As we continued our dialogue, Francesco shared profound insights into the weapons we must wield in the face of opposition. He emphasized the importance of being rooted in the Word of God and maintaining an unwavering commitment to prayer and fasting. These spiritual disciplines, he explained, are not mere religious rituals but powerful tools that equip us to discern the enemy’s tactics and stand firm in the truth.

Moreover, Francesco encouraged us to embrace the gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as prophecy, wisdom, and discernment. These supernatural endowments are not mere parlor tricks but essential weapons in our arsenal, enabling us to navigate the challenges of our time with clarity and boldness.

A New Perspective on the Past

One of the most profound revelations Francesco shared was the concept of allowing God to rewrite our past. So often, he explained, we allow our past failures and struggles to define us, giving the enemy a foothold for condemnation and shame. However, when we surrender our lives to Christ, He not only redeems our future but also transforms our understanding of our past.

Francesco’s testimony is a living example of this truth. What the enemy once used as a weapon against him, God has transformed into a powerful tool for His glory. Francesco’s scars have become stars, shining beacons of hope and redemption for those who have endured similar struggles.

The Call to Endure

As our time together drew to a close, Francesco’s words resonated with a profound sense of urgency. He urged us to embrace the call to endure, to dig our heels in and resist the enemy’s attempts to dislodge us from our positions. Like the persecuted Church of Acts, we are called to stand firm, even in the face of opposition, knowing that our trials are but temporary, and our reward is eternal.

Francesco’s life is a testament to this unwavering commitment. Despite the obstacles and challenges he has faced, he has remained steadfast, preaching the Gospel in 27 nations and witnessing the transformative power of Christ in countless lives.

Conclusion

As I reflect on my time with Francesco Basile, I am filled with a profound sense of admiration and gratitude. His story is a powerful reminder that the Church of Jesus Christ is not a mere institution but a living, breathing organism, comprised of men and women who have encountered the risen Savior and chosen to follow Him at all costs.

The challenges we face in this hour may seem daunting, but we are not alone. We are part of a vast army of believers, united in our commitment to advance the Kingdom of God, no matter the cost. And as we stand together, shoulder to shoulder, we can take comfort in the words of our Lord: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

So, let us take courage, my fellow believers. Let us embrace the call to endure, to stand firm in the face of persecution, and to boldly proclaim the message of the Gospel to a world in desperate need of hope and redemption.
