Not too long ago, a significant non secular service was held in Occasions Sq. in New York Metropolis. However this time it did not embody prayer rugs.
No, it was not one other gathering of Muslims commandeering Occasions Sq. with their prayer rugs and blaring Adhan. This time, it was truly a dynamic Spirit-filled worship service on Easter Sunday that crammed the long-lasting NYC house. Proper there on the identical floor. On the similar location. In a non secular battle for territory.

Recently in our nation, we now have seen the full-blown shows of Islamic conquest in American streets and locations of authority–state capitol complexes, metropolis heart streets, and sure, in Occasions Sq.. Islamists don’t have these sorts of public Islamic prayer classes in Muslim majority nations–why within the U.S.?
It’s an intimidating type of dominance. A show of their numbers and their brazen presence. Within the Islamic tradition, mosques have been constructed as a commemoration of conquest. The Hagia Sophia in Turkey–a former iconic Christian church– is now a Muslim mosque. Islamists in Texas are shopping for up struggling church buildings and changing them to mosques. Conquest. Dominance.
So why maintain Islamic prayer within the metropolis streets, our authorities buildings, and Occasions Sq.. It’s a message. There isn’t a mosque there in the present day, however they’re declaring that there might be.
Again to the imaginative and prescient that Pastor Mike Signorelli needed to maintain Christian worship on the holy day of Resurrection Sunday. Signorelli shared with CBN, “I reside in New York Metropolis with my household, so I’ve obtained two daughters, and my spouse and I are simply making an attempt to be a lightweight within the darkness,” he instructed CBN Information the evening earlier than the occasion. “And naturally, New York Metropolis is getting extremely darkish, and whether or not it’s false religions, whether or not it’s witchcraft and … we’ve simply seen politically it’s an extremely darkish place.”
CBN reported “Signorelli stated he was praying about what he may do on Easter to assist stem the tide of chaos and felt that doing a service in Occasions Sq. could be a robust automobile.”
Give it some thought. Worship is a type of non secular warfare–our audible praises and declarations do carry weight and energy! For a very long time, we now have watched Allah being worshipped, and thru the Adhan–the Islamic name to worship, curses towards infidels have been spoken out into the ambiance. Occasions Sq. (and lots of different websites throughout the nation) is a battleground for non secular warfare. Some have even referred to as it a portal for evil. However on Easter Sunday, it was the location the place the one true God with resurrection energy was declared and worshipped as supreme. Past those that attended in individual, there have been greater than 40,000 watching on-line, and 400 got here ahead to obtain Christ proper there in Occasions Sq..
What a shift within the ambiance!
Intercessor, we’re in a battle–it’s non secular. Islamists are ramping up their motion to extend numbers, plant strategic communities and mosques, infiltrate authorities, demand rewritten historical past in our textbooks, pressure Islamic holidays on our calendars and in our colleges, and to make use of our personal freedom to limit our freedom. The battle has shifted. We, as believers and intercessors, have to be engaged. Not solely in prayer in our prayer closets and prayer teams, but in addition audibly, noticeably and courageously in our communities and in our states. If we don’t carry the Presence of God into these locations, the vacuum might be crammed with no matter is able to usurp. Let’s not give them that likelihood.
Signorelli shared, “The satan is on the transfer,” he stated. “He’s out to kill, steal, and destroy. He’s like this prowling lion. However there’s one other lion — the lion of the tribe of Judah, and he’s roaring over our cities.” Amen!
