An Invasion of Fire and Glory

By Wendy Braat
Head Intercessor for Master Potter’s Prayer Shield

Fire on the Youth

Youth came from as far away as an hour and a half to attend the regional youth rally at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Akron, Ohio, where Jill ministered. Although it was a youth rally, all ages were represented because of their radical hunger for more of God.

There were three waves of God that hit the room. The first one came with the call and the challenge for them to be carriers of the glory. As the youth stood up and cried out for more of His glory, the fire ignited about half of the people. They came forward and the fire intensified. Desperate cries for more of God resounded throughout the room.

After the people returned to their seats, Jill sensed an anointing of intercession in the room to pray for loved ones who are lost. Without music or prompting, weeping began to break out everywhere. The sovereign hand of God was releasing His heart to His people for the lost and the prodigals. The hearts of the older generation all the way down to the very young were breaking with the burden of God’s heart as the youth cried out in anguish. I was deeply touched by seeing 6-8 year olds sobbing uncontrollably. The Lord is releasing the Samuel anointing!!

The third wave came when Jill began to talk about Elijah and the Nazarite call - it is a call to a lifestyle of consecration to God with prayer and fasting; it is a call to stand in the council of the Lord; it is a call to receive His heart along with fresh strategies for reaching this generation; it is a call to contend until the promises of God are fully realized.

The leaders were very excited about the meeting and said it was a tremendous breakthrough for the youth. This is what they had been crying out to God for and now it happened!

Heaven Touches Earth

The next night the ‘Women in the Harvest’ Conference began at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church as hungry women from many different denominations and cities came expecting a radical encounter with Jesus. I met several women from Pennsylvania and New York. Some were desperate for more of God while others were apprehensive at first, but as the Lord began to touch their hearts, His love and His presence melted away their fears.

Some of the husbands came to the evening meetings and many pastors and leaders attended as well. Jill invited the men to come forward, she released the fire on them, and gave powerful prophetic words to many of them. Later she asked the men to pray for their wives and call forth their destinies. The fire and the glory moved across the front of the room and there were bodies everywhere! It was so wonderful to see them blessing their wives and releasing them into their destiny and gifting.

Pools of glory appeared in different parts of the room and there were many different moods of the Holy Spirit manifested during the conference. Jill had a woman come forward who had not experienced the Manifest Presence of God and asked her to pray for some people. The ones she prayed for were dramatically touched by the power of God and she was astounded! When the power really hit one of the women, the whole room began to roar with excitement and laughter!!

The faith level increased dramatically in the room as they saw that they could all be carriers of His glory. Jill equipped them and built their faith to pray for each other and to take the glory and His Presence into their everyday lives. We need to understand that the goal is not to experience manifestations, but to love Him with all of our being and carry His Presence wherever we go!!!

Generational Anointing

During the last meeting on Saturday, the Lord led Jill to preach on Esther. One of the revelational keys she shared dealt with Mordecai and Esther, who represent the generations coming together to fast and pray to reverse the evil plans of the enemy. Intercession and fasting will bring such reversals!!!

At the end of the meeting, Jill gave an altar call for those who felt like an Esther, living in a beautifully built “palace” but in reality it is a nicely decorated prison. She asked how many had a first born or their seed and knew gallows had been built to destroy them. The response was startling.

Suddenly deep cries, screaming, sobbing and weeping broke out from the grief women were carrying for their seed, many whose lives had already been devastated. It turned into deep intercession and crying out for their loved ones as they broke a vow of silence to chose life. This activated them to fight and intercede for their loved ones in a new way.

It ended with the women moving into a place of great victory. They had the revelation that they are Esthers; they are carriers of the glory; they can take territory and move with strategies; they can cause a reversal of the plans of the enemy. One of the women came to me after the meeting with a tear-stained face as she expressed such gratitude that hope and a resolve had been restored to her personally and for her family.

Breakthrough in Salinas, CA

Jill ministered at a conference in Salinas with Bill Johnson (Bethel Church in Redding, CA) and Che Ahn (Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, CA) where a well of healing and miracles opened up. All three moved in words of knowledge for healing and miracles and many wonderful testimonies came forth throughout the conference.

During one of Jill’s sessions, hunger erupted as she declared that the Lord is calling forth a church without walls to touch suffering humanity with signs, wonders, and miracles. She shared that much of the church today is like the generation of Moses that died in the wilderness, never seeing the fulfillment of their promises, because they had a slave mentality. Even though they witnessed powerful miracles, their hearts were calloused.

In this hour, the Lord is calling forth a Joshua generation who will have great faith in the midst of overwhelming circumstances, like the 9-11 terrorist attack. Yes, there are giants in the land and fortified cities, but we have a big God who will give us strategies for the hour we live in. The Lord is calling us to be like the Joshua generation, leaving the slave mentality behind and becoming a church that is on the move, bringing heaven to earth.

Holy Spirit Powerfully Touches the Children

Friday morning when Jill ministered there was a sovereign outbreak of God, especially with the children. The seventh and eighth grade classes attended the meeting from their church’s Christian school. They all came forward for an altar call and as they were prayed for, the hand of the Lord radically touched every one of them.

It really was a visitation that seemed to target them. You could feel the atmosphere change around them and it was a foretaste of the revival that is to come. Many of them were gripped with weeping and intercession and they stayed through lunch time because the Presence of the Lord remained on them.

Jill ministered that afternoon and the fire that had been started that morning intensified even more. Several other classes from the Christian school also joined us for worship. Children always love the anointing and they filled up the front of the room. The seventh and eighth graders were kneeling before the Lord and many of them were still deeply gripped. It was a powerful and life-changing time!

Holy Spirit Workshop

The presence of the Holy Spirit came with power later that day as Jill taught about the anointing and gave important language and keys to the people. Her heart is for the Lord to give her double portion sons and daughters. The hungry, desperate crowd was thrilled when the glory of the Lord broke out among them over and over again.

Prophecy, Healings and Miracles

Jill also ministered Saturday night, Sunday morning and evening. It was a marathon for her but the Lord moved mightily in each meeting. She gave many significant prophetic words and words of knowledge for healing. As the people lined up to testify, a greater dimension of faith was released!

A woman said she was healed of asthma. A man was healed of allergies and chronic redness in his left eye, which disappeared. Another woman who had suffered from depression since she was a child said that she felt it lift off of her. Full motion of the right knee was restored to a woman who was unable to bend it, due to an injury. A man with a deaf ear was healed and a young woman with scoliosis of the spine was also healed.

Then an older woman who had a head injury from a car accident testified that when she was prayed for the pain got worse. The person praying for her asked if she had unforgiveness toward someone. When she extended forgiveness, the pain disappeared! The people were released to pray for the sick many times and it was very exciting for them.

A Deep Work of the Cross

A group of Presbyterians from Carmel heard about the move of the Lord and came Sunday night. The Lord prompted Jill to preach on the prophetic journey of Mary, the mother of Jesus, highlighting her angelic visitation, the birth of her Son Jesus, her 30 years of hiddenness, and His public ministry - only to have everything end at the cross. There Mary not only agonized over the death of her precious Son, but she also had to face the death of all of her prophetic promises.

Heart-rending sobs gripped the crowd as they identified with the sufferings of the cross and their own pain, hopelessness and grief from their prophetic journeys. The altar was full as deep healing and deliverance took place. The ministry was very powerful as the prayer team held sobbing people in their arms, giving words of destiny and imparting the hope of resurrected promises to many.

During this altar call, Jill discerned a spirit of death and suicide among the teens and those in their early twenties. As she came against that spirit, they began to cry out that they had wanted to die. It was frightening to think that young people who were so radical for God were also battling against such a desire to die! The enemy is targeting this generation with a genocide that tries to come through abortion, suicide and young people murdering each other. May we stand in the gap for this generation!
