The Fire Has Started

“What’s the best way to start a fire?”  That was the question that was posed to me by the Lord several years ago.  I said, “I don’t know. You just start it and then it goes.”  He said, “No, you start many small fires all over the place and they converge into one massive fire.”  I never thought about it that way but I can see the logic that it would spread faster and engulf more territory.  

Around the same time a friend of mine had a dream or vision where there was a grid or a strong mesh over our city.  It was shown to her that it is a spirit of religiosity.  With prayer, the structure began to cave in, it was coming undone. It was as if prayer was putting a dent into the grid and it was losing its hold over our area.

We both had these revelations independent of each other but it made sense they were about the same thing.  I don’t know where, but I’ve heard it said that Green Bay, Wisconsin is the hardest city in the United States to witness to anyone.  As a personal testimony, I get that.  It is not that people don’t attend churches, a lot do, but to get into a conversation about Jesus is another story.  I’ve come to realize the problem isn’t with the people. it is with the stronghold and spirit of religiosity controlling it.  This confirmed once again that our battle is never against flesh and blood.

I am personally beginning to see the grid fall and the fires start.  If revival were to come to one church and spread, that would be my idea of starting a fire.  But the Lord is raising up His people from many different churches all across the area and the fires are taking hold.  I witnessed it myself on Easter in the small church I attend.  The Holy Spirit came upon a young man and enabled him to sing like he had never sung before.  He had asked the Holy Spirit to help him sing and the songs were breathtakingly beautiful.  

There is a hub, if you want to call it that, and that is New Life Community Church in Pulaski.  Miracles, healings and other spiritual occurrences are happening there.  Each person that comes to the prayer meeting on Tuesday nights is being ignited by the Holy Spirit and taking it back to their home church where they are being fanned into flames.   

I for one have prayed for a long time to see evidence of the Holy Spirit on a large scale and I do believe we are onto something genuine.  At New Life Community Church, they are teaching “Biblical Christianity” as illustrated in the book of Acts in the first century church.  You can’t get past Acts Chapter 2 where you hear of the Holy Spirit’s entrance on the scene, bringing with Him the spiritual gifts.

You might be saying, I’ll believe it when I see it.” Well “Thomas”, go see for yourself.  New Life Community Church is located at 6258 Crest Drive, Pulaski, WI  54162.  Sunday service 10 am, Tuesday Prayer and Praise 6:30 pm. 

I pray for the move of the Holy Spirit in every heart and that we would be open to the teachings of the Bible….all of the Bible.
