The mocking, scourging, and crucifixion of Jesus offends both our intellect and sense of morality. Usually, when a government decides to execute a person, it does so dispassionately. The execution of Jesus, though, had all the hallmarks of a man being slaughtered for stealing someone's wife or killing their small children. It is possibly one of the most cared-for executions in history. There was such great revelry from the actors; people were delighted to see Jesus tortured and murdered. Though one later repented, even the crucified thieves somehow found the strength to mock Jesus with their final breaths. From a purely human perspective, the whole thing is an outrageous scene. But to look at it through merely human eyes is to make a mistake. Behind the spitting, the jeers, the beating, the yelling, the whipping, nailing, contempt, and fear was a demonic realm at feast.

For twenty years I lived the Christian life in my own strength and in ignorance of the Holy Spirit's work. I did not talk to Him, I did not acknowledge what He desired to do in my world or the lives of others, and I drug Him into my sin - grieving Him in the process.Coming out of the Pandemic in 2021, God started to call my wife and I into a form of Christianity resembling the book of Acts - filled with adventure and risk. It wouldn't take long walking with the Holy Spirit for me to see my first instantaneous miraculous healing - a man's broken arm coming back together.Since that day I've seen dozens of miracles. I've seen God burn terminal illnesses out, dissolve kidney stones, realign vertebrae, and drive demons out of people - instantly freeing them of spiritual sickness in the process. I've seen Him save marriages on the brink of collapse, stop a miscarriage, and open the womb of the infertile. Since that day I've had scales fall from my eyes, opening them to the horrors of the spiritual war raging around us. And I have learned the modern church is ill-prepared to deal with the American mission field.This book details a year of my life walking with the Holy Spirit and in miracles. I hope it inspires you to do the same.
