Last Sunday we held our second live streaming video around the topic of Life After Church.

We had a very smooth event with hundreds joining us from around the world. After I taught and did some Q & A, we explored the focus on the Moabite Curse that our tribe would war against for a week.

Then we concluded with Holy Communion with a focus on deliverance. I shared some verses about the shadow of death and how this entity/place causes a spiritual paralysis among people, even when they have a clear understanding of their call.

At one point in this teaching, before Communion, there was a remarkably strong connection in the spirit between me and all the people watching globally. We then took the bread and wine together as I led in a warfare prayer addressing many of the functions of the shadow of death.

Then I raised the Cup of the New Covenant and when I did, for most of the world, the video malfunctioned and never came on for the last few minutes of the service.

Much more to the point, there was a definite severing of the spiritual connection I had with you. One person said, "It was as though someone had died."

I did not know there were technical problems as I finished the Communion prayers, but I sure did know that the spiritual connection had been cut off.

Now, two days later, it is still quite missing.

Clearly the enemy was offended by the group deliverance and was not going to tolerate my leading newly freed people into a renewal of the WHOLE covenant we are a part of. He overtly, defiantly attacked the technology and our spiritual bond.

This is the first time I have experienced that with this particular ungodly entity. I am not quite sure what to do, except that I strongly recommend we not accept this disconnect as inevitable. I suggest you fight back. He started this war. Let's take it to him corporately.

The video WAS recorded without a flaw, so you can go back to the archived version and watch the last ten minutes again to get what you missed. If you watched the live stream, you have a 21-day subscription, so you can go back for free, log into your account, click on My Streams, then scroll down to the bottom to watch the August 7th video.

After it starts, you can grab the button at the bottom of the video screen and drag it to the right until you get to 1:25 and watch the rest.

I don't have a specific technique to undo what the enemy did, but I know the Holy Spirit is utterly unsurprised by the assault. As you watch the transition from the bread to the wine, war however the Spirit leads you in order to restore our vertical connection with God and our horizontal connection with the Tribe, in the way God would want it.

If you have insights from the Lord as you do that, feel free to write me and share the wisdom. We need to compile the insights and fail forward from this big hit.
