From the desk of Steve Shultz:
Most of us have "fought" battles with satan only when it was necessary.
In our attempt to live in peace, we have often left satan alone. But that has changed, now that God has declared WORLD WAR III in the Church.
This is an "offensive" war, not one in which we only defend ourselves. To put it another way, if we are Believers then we are IN THIS WAR. No longer do we get to leave the fighting to others.
Read through this article once or twice, and then be sure to watch the video by Dr. Hamon, which we've included a video link to his "Word of the Lord" below...they both go together.

"God's World War III"
Bishop Bill Hamon, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
One of the most important things for Christians to know is God's times and seasons in which we live. We must know God's present-day purpose and what Christ Jesus seeks to accomplish in and through His Church in order to be co-laborers with Christ. There is a difference between working for Christ and working with Christ Jesus. Many ministers of past restoration movements faithfully preach the Biblical truths that were restored, including those of their own restoration movement.
God is still restoring and doing new things in His Church. There are still Scriptural truths to be restored and divine purposes that must be fulfilled before Jesus can return from Heaven (Acts 3:21; Hebrews 10:13).
The First and Second World Wars
The Church has now entered God's WWIII. For God to have a third world war, He had to have a first and second.
God's WWI was fought to produce the First reformation of the Church. God sent His Commander-in-Chief of the armies of Heaven to earth as a human baby.
He grew to a man, and at the age of 30, Jesus launched His campaign.
The war was to destroy the works of the devil and provide redemption for mankind.
Jesus fought His first battle with the devil at the temptation in the wilderness. Father God then anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power, as He went about destroying the works of the devils by healing people of their devilish afflictions and casting satan's demons out of people.
Jesus' winning battle was on the Cross where He provided redemption for mankind, and then by His resurrection from the dead, He took the keys of death and Hell from the devil. Jesus then birthed His Church and gave His Church power and authority over the devil and all his demons. Thereby WWI was won.

God's WWII began in 1517 at the beginning of the 2nd Reformation, which was for the purpose of restoring all truth and ministries back to being active in the Church.
The first shot was fired when God's General Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the door of his Church in Wittenberg, Germany.
It took many battle-restoration movements over 490 years to retake all the truths and ministries that the devil had captured during the 1000 year Dark Age of the Church. Most of them were restored back into the Church by the end of 2007.
Thereby God's WWII was won and the Second Reformation of the Church was fulfilled.
Now, God's World War III
Now God's WWIII was declared in 2008 when the 3rd and Final Church Reformation was birthed in the Church. God's warriors and army officers have been intensely tested, trained and equipped for the last seven years for the launching of God's offensive warfare in 2016.
Israel's 7-day march around Jericho typifies these 7 years. The Restoration Movements during the 2nd Reformation are illustrated by Israel's experiences during their journey from Egypt to Canaan. The First being the Protestant Movement that brought the Church out of its Egyptian bondage of religious dead works, the Sixth being the Charismatic movement that brought the Church to its Jordan River, and the Seventh being the Prophetic-Apostolic Movement that crossed the Church over its Jordan River into its Canaan Land.
Israel's inheritance was the land of Canaan. Their challenge was to make the kingdoms of Canaan the Kingdom of Israel. The inheritance of the Church is the Earth. Our challenge is to make the kingdoms of this world the Kingdom of God (Revelation 5:10; 11:15).
When all this is accomplished, God's WWIII will be won and "The 3rd and Final Church Reformation" will be fulfilled.
I have written a book covering the First, Second and Third Reformation, called
Prophetic Scriptures Yet To Be Fulfilled. It mostly covers the Church demonstrating and establishing God's Kingdom. The book I am writing now on God's WWIII covers the warfare, our weapons of warfare and how to use them. The new book will also cover the final battle that will decisively win the war as described in Revelation 19.
The Army of the Lord
We have entered an offensive warfare that will not end until Jesus personally leads His army of saints in the final battle. This is now the time that saints must know their weapons of war and how to use them. Pastors and all fivefold ministers must now function as drill sergeants and generals and diligently train the saints to be soldiers who know how to fight as warriors in the army of our Commander-In-Chief, Jesus Christ our Lord.
We must make sure we are fully dressed in our Protective Defensive Armor: Our helmet of Salvation, breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, and combat boots of the Gospel. The shield of faith is mainly defensive but can be used offensively.
Our Offensive Weapons: Sword of the Spirit, In the Name of Jesus, high praises, shout of faith, praying in tongues, prophetic acts and praying and making apostolic decrees. I have led numerous nations in warfare with the Church's greatest corporate weapon – the shout of faith – which explodes demons in the spirit realm like an atomic bomb exploding in the natural. Many ministers have testified of major changes and a shift in the nation. A few years ago Cindy Jacobs prophesied, "Dr. Bill, Jesus is commissioning you to be a 5-Star General in the Army of the Lord."
Someone gave me some documents stating that 5-Star Generals are only commissioned during a time of war. I lead churches in warfare as a 5-Star General more than as a 5-Fold minister. The reason Prophets are motivated to warfare is because of what God said to Prophet Jeremiah:
"I have set you (prophet) over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down (evil demonic principalities). Then plant and build the Kingdom of God" (Jeremiah 1:10). We absolutely do have weapons of warfare that are mighty in pulling down strongholds of satan (2 Corinthians 10:4: Ephesians 6:12).

I write in my new book, "The next great move of God is the manifest Army of the Lord. It will produce the most manifestations of God's power and glory ever recorded in church history." It will continue until the glory of the Lord fills the earth as the waters cover the sea (Numbers 14:21; Habakkuk 2:14). Jesus is calling forth tried and proven ministers to fulfill His timely present purpose and co-labor with Him to win His WWIII.
Ministers let us now prepare Christian soldiers as men and women of valor and mighty warriors, like David's 30 mighty men, Gideon's 300 and Joshua's conquering army. These special forces of saints will fight along with Jesus, the Commander-in-Chief of His army of angels in Heaven and His warrior saints on earth, until His World War III is won. Be assured that Jesus, with His victorious overcomer warriors, will win this war and triumphant valiantly. Jesus and His overcomer warriors will then rule and reign over everything! (Revelation 2:26-27; 5:10; 21:7; Daniel 7:14, 18, 22, 27.)
