Prophetic Worship Event in Warsaw
A friend of ours told us about a worship event that was to take place in Warsaw this week. It was sort of a last minute. I think there are quite a few reasons why this event happened. One reason, is that today is the day that the Catholic Church celebrates “the ascension of Mary,” where they believe that Mary didn’t actually die, but ascended to heaven. Today is the day that thousands and thousands of pilgrims from all over Poland gather in Częstochowa, for this “cult of Mary.” Our team was able to be there for this in 2007. It was very troubling to say the least. Perhaps another reason for the event today, was because Madonna, the American performer, came to Poland today to perform. There have been some prophetic words spoken about her coming, many of which tie in with the fact that what she is spiritually bringing to Poland reinforces this “Jezebel spirit,” in connection with Mary being the “Queen of Poland,” as she was dubbed by Pope John Paul II. It was also mentioned at the meeting that August is a prophetic month in the history of Poland, with the Warsaw uprising happening in the month of August for example. I think that overall, the meeting took place because with all this focus on these other things happening in the lives of the people of Poland, a small group of charismatic Christ-followers wanted to focus in on Jesus, the only One worthy of adoration.

It was an amazing meeting. A group of five of us drove two hours from Piotrków-Trybunalski to Warsaw to take part in this event. There were some words from a key charismatic leader from Kalisz about the importance of this day, telling us some valuable history, even holding up a sword from the Warsaw uprising so many years ago. I believe that during the time while he was speaking, I saw an angel, one of the good ones, fly across the room from the left side to the right side. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. But there was nothing in my eyes. It just caught me off guard. Then there was awesome, free-flowing, Spirit-filled worship for a long time. During the time of worship portions of Scripture were read and prophecies were given from Poles, as well as from a couple of Americans who I got to meet later, one of which, interestingly enough, lives and ministers in Pemba, Mozambique with Heidi Baker and knows the Wilcox family as well as Jesse and Tanya. Small world, eh? Then there was a time when a map of Poland was held up and Christ-followers from all over Poland who were at this event came up and anointed the map with oil, claiming Poland for Jesus, including one of my friends who is from Piotrków-Trybunalski. Then there was a time of praying specifically for pastors and believers in Warsaw. Toward the end there was a time when the worship team began to change rhythms and create their own sound, the “sound of Poland,” and play it, almost as the sound of a battle march, or like horses hoofs galloping. It was amazing! God is truly moving here in Poland, and has a huge destiny for this nation. My prayer is that the Christ-followers in this nation will be able to grab a hold of the inheritance that is theirs in Christ, and truly take the land for Him.
