Though we may not know it, there is a war in the spiritual realm going on all around us. We may not know it, but we are involved in it whether or not we want to be. This war is for the souls of the all the people on earth. Make no mistake: we are in the last days. Satan knows this and he has unleashed all of his fury against the earth, for he knows that his time is running out. Believers in Christ, we must now rise to the occasion and into all that God has for us. It's time for Believers in Messiah Jesus to walk in the spiritual realm; to embrace the supernatural as a normal way of life expanding the Kingdom of God. It's time for all Christians to use all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and to be filled with His spirit. It's time for every Christian to become intimate through prayer with the Creator of all things, The Great I Am! It's time to enlist in His army and learn how to defeat our enemy, Satan and bring love and peace to our land. And to recover what the enemy has stolen for us. We, as Christians have the authority from Messiah Jesus to do just that. The Army of God is a manual setting up the guidelines to walk in your destiny and the authority given to every believer. Learn how to conduct spiritual warfare and protect yourself from the enemy. Find out who you are in Messiah Jesus and how God sees you. Our battle is not against any person, the scriptures state "Love your neighbor as yourself". It is against spiritual forces that we battle against as stated in Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (KJV) Be strong and stay close to the Lord and see what He is going to do. It's time for all of the believers of Christ to rally the troops, to enlist in the army, and to come forward in the boldness and power that has been given to us by our lord Jesus Christ. We must find our place in his army and we must take this earth for his glory. How do we have this victory in Jesus? Only by the overcoming power that comes through prayer and praise to our God. His church can no longer stand passively by and allow the enemy to run rampant throughout the world. We must take up his banner and his cross. We must dedicate ourselves completely to him. There is a great harvest that must be taken before his return. It is the charge of his church to do this. But the church presently lies in disarray and unbelief, dedicated to the worldly things instead of the heavenly things of God. It is our charge to prepare ourselves as His bride, clean, pure and spotless before Him. It is our charge to speak His word throughout the world, to work toward establishing His kingdom on earth.

Mr Jolly is the first collection of short stories by Michael Stewart, and contains some of the award-winning novelist¿s most extraordinary writing to date. Each tale offers a unique, utterly compelling insight into the human condition, framed by a mind-bendingly original concept that no other writer working today could ¿ or indeed would ¿ have concocted. Readers will meet a conformity-obsessed league of bald men, breaking into homes for an extended debate about the nature of freedom; discuss the nomenclature of the marshmallow with a man whose single goal in life is to witness them accidentally skewered on stiletto heels; and meet God, in perhaps the most frustrating (yet believable) depiction of the divine being in modern literature.Last phone calls, alien abductions, murders and more are grounded in stories of struggling parents, baffled lovers and lost children (some of who may live permanently onthe number 606 bus). However long you live, and however much you read, yoüll never come across another book quite like this.
