I believe that the first first night (Wed. 7/12) of the Sedalia Revival was a blessed event. Over 900 showed up but more importantly so did the Holy Spirit. Tears came to my eyes as the evening progressed—I commented to one of the leaders:

This is what I have been waiting for all of my life.

Here’s the official counts for the first night:

902 people in the main tent
70 in the children’s tent
8 salvations
5 baptisms
1 child dedication
Plus many folks were prayed for.

I have been praying for Revival for years. In 2015 we stopped in Sedalia to visit some relatives, figuring that we would only be here for 3 days or so. But the Lord had different plans for us and we are still here—because he told me that this is where our destiny is and that revival would come here in Sedalia and I would be a part of it.

I believe that last night was just the beginning of a Move of God that will begin with this series and carry on with many future events to come. I believe that all of the churches in this city and area will begin to be blessed in an uncommon way with the Holy Spirit; including healings, and miracles like never before. I also believe that coming soon there will a major Move among the youth in this city and the surrounding area. Come Holy Spirit.

Come tonight at 7pm and experience it for yourself.

Some 4,500 people were baptized over the week-end at Pirates Cove in Newport, California. The scene was reminiscent of the Jesus People Revival were thousands were baptized at this same location during the late 60’s and early 1970’s. The event followed the recent Harvest Crusade in So. California (July 2-4).

Evangelist Greg Laurie called it an event of ‘Biblical proportions:

“On the day of Pentecost, after Peter preached, we read in the Bible that 3,000 people were baptized. At Pirates Cove, we are looking at a baptism of biblical proportions,” Laurie told the Washington Times.

REVIVAL SEDALIA! City-wide Revival. Starting Wednesday, July 12, 2023 – July 16, 2023, every night at 7:00 p.m.

@Northwest corner of 65 Hwy and Eagle View Drive, Sedalia, MO

The pastors and leaders of more than seven churches and five ministries are sponsoring a tent revival in Sedalia ,Missouri. The meetings and preparation leading up to this event have been abundantly blessed by the Holy Spirit. The Words received from the Lord about this series: “Let me do it” and “It will be done with little effort”

Those words have been true in all the details in the preparation; as one group and business after another volunteered their products and services when they heard about the revival. It has been amazing—God is doing this and we are expecting a major move of God in Sedalia this week.

We will be posting about the services. Come Holy Spirit.

-Nearly 7,000 Accept Christ During Harvest Crusade

5364549423538523502

The 34th annual ‘Harvest Crusade,’ held at the Honda Center in Anaheim CA, saw nearly 7,000 people come to Christ in the two day event (July 1-2, 2023) headed by pastor Greg Laurie.

Here’s what Pastor Laurie had to say about the atmosphere during the services:

“There was an electric, revival-like atmosphere in that room both nights. You could sense God’s presence,” Laurie said in a press release sent to Christian Headlines.

“We had an incredible immersive worship experience in the round,” Laurie said. “Thousands of people were turned away each night because every seat was taken by excited believers who wanted to worship. At the same time, this was our most effective evangelistic event that we perhaps have ever had.”

Note that 270 churches from the area participated and partnered in the event. Also the worship music was provided by Chris Tomlin, Michael W. Smith, Taya, Phil Wickham and the Passion worship band.

When Greg Laurie says that: “this was our most effective evangelistic event that we perhaps have ever had,” we should really pay attention. I believe that God is beginning to move in a special way all across America.

-Move of God in Guinea Bissau

pixlr-7623-IMG_7136-200

An unlikely move of God is taking place in Guinea Bissau of northwest Africa. Nearly 70% of the population is Muslim and the small Christian community (11.7%) is being intimidated by Islamic push in the country to convert everyone to Islam. Nevertheless a recent  World Harvest crusade, led by Evangelist Jacob Ebersole resulted in bringing nearly 20,000 to Christ. From the Charisma News article:

The first night of the crusade was a massive success.

“Thousands came far and wide to hear the gospel,” Ebersole says. “Some even traveled in canoes and boats on rough waters from islands off the coast to be a part of this. I’ve never seen anything like it before. We’ve had the privilege of being on the front row witnessing a move of God that seemed impossible at every turn. … God is writing a story and it’s not stopping.”

Night after night, tens of thousands cried out to Jesus in repentance and faith at this crusade. There were over 18,477 documented decisions for Christ. There were thousands more that occurred in the day-to-day evangelization by local Christians.

Amazingly, the President of the country showed up for the first night and actually facilitated in getting the equipment needed for the meetings. Plus the move continues. Read the whole Charisma article.

-"Let Us Worship" Touches Thousands in Alabama

Worship leader Sean Feucht continues to spread revival across America through his ‘Let Us Worship’ events. This time thousands were touched in Alabama. From CBN News:

“Feucht brought his “Let Us Worship” event to Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday where God’s Spirit poured out over thousands of worshippers at Veterans Park.

“Thousands gathered from over 10 states to fill Veterans Park with a NEW SOUND! There is an AWAKENING in America!!! God showed up! Salvations, healing and freedom!”

One of the few encouraging news reports during the pandemic were the worship events that Sean Feucht brought to cities all across America. Many of those events were held in the same places where violence and destruction had taken place. Now is the time for healing, revival, and a new awakening. Let’s pray it in. 

Here’s a link to Sean’s Let Us Worship website.

-The Lord Has Different Plans For America

Devil’s plan: America goes down in November

God’s plan: America has a Revival

You Choose–let’s pray in what we want

A couple of weeks ago two Christian friends of mine, and on the same day another, sent me a link to a YouTube video of a pastor sharing about a dream he had that showed America basically being destroyed starting in November. My friends wanted my input and opinion.

After watching it I was really concerned and asked the Lord—is that dream really true?

He responded immediately saying:

That’s the Devil’s plan. I have different plans for America.

I immediately started praying for God’s plan and for the devil to be defeated once more. You choose-Let’s pray in what we want–Let’s unite in prayer for America.

-Harvest Crusade 2019: A Mighty Move of the Holy Spirit in SoCal

For once, ‘Good News’ out of California. From CBN:

The SoCal Harvest crusade saw 8,670 people give their lives to Christ over the three-night event held over the weekend. 

Greg Laurie, senior pastor of the Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, Calif., said it was an amazing experience with more than 100,000 people total attending the crusade held in Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

<Read the whole article>

Response: I have attended a Harvest crusade in the past. It really is an amazing experience, particularly since leaders from so many local churches participate. A major part of the crusade effort dwells on counseling new believers to seek out continuing discipleship in local churches.

Beyond all of the glitz and great music is a real move of the Holy Spirit that changes lives and brings real hope to Southern California. The churches and leaders there are looking for a new revival looking back to the examples of Azusa Street and the Jesus People Move which actually changed the whole church not only in California but in America and all around the world.
