She didn’t hesitate. “Well, give it here!” she said.
When you’re desperate, you’ll take all kinds of weird advice.
She took that oil and poured it down that street. Then, a few days later she returned.
“Pastor, guess what?” She was smiling. “The drug dealers came out the next day for one hour, left, and never came back!”
God’s Word didn’t return void, and it never will! How did I know what to do? I accessed specific wisdom for that situation—which was really a spiritual attack—by faith (James 1:5). It all comes back to faith.
Fighting With Spiritual Power
There is not a problem you have that God has not already solved, whether it’s dealing with Dodge City, your finances, your health or anything else.
So why do we have so many problems? We’ve gotten away from the basics. And because we have, our culture has changed. The world has removed the Church from its place of dominion and power. As a result, the Church is trying to compete with the world by doing things the world’s way. But it will never work, because this is a spiritual battle and it takes spiritual power to win.
Ephesians 6:10-12 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For 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.”

“I heard Brother Hagin talk about it…. He said when that glory cloud would come in…everybody in there would get healed. If there was anybody in there that wasn’t born again, they’d just cry out and accept Jesus right there on the spot…. He talked about it, and he prophesied concerning a day when it was going to come and it was going to fall on whole neighborhoods, whole cities. And I believe we’re in the forerunner of that right now.”
