You have not heard from me in a while, but now there is fire in my bones. And I must speak out!
Something very dangerous is gripping American Christians. The largest percentage of believers we have ever seen now believe revival is impossible. More than ever before, believers are convinced that America is beyond hope.
An anti-God tsunami has swept over our nation, and Christian leaders feel it keenly. The ruling elite who are in D.C. are bearing down on the Church and Christian families. They are exerting illegal force over what we say and how we raise our children. And now they mean to control our money.
Moral depravity is at its zenith in America. Naturally, violence follows immorality—and violence of every kind is increasing in every city.
And in every city where our Tent goes up, we face unprecedented persecution.
And in every city where our Tent goes up, we face unprecedented persecution. Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it is blatant. Applications are strangely misplaced. Permits are delayed. Advertising is banned. Our workers see the resistance on the streets. We have to work twice as hard to get half as much done.
The devil told me I was crazy to do it. I just invested nearly $400,000 in soul winning. We bought a tent that seats 5,000, an arena-rated sound system, a new lighting system, 2,000 new chairs, a television studio trailer, and a semi-truck trailer.

We did this this without holding a fundraiser or taking special offerings. Why? Because we have the best partners in the world—they listen to and obey the Holy Spirit. (God did not have me ask for help this time. But that does not mean He will not in the future!)
God ordered me to see through the noise of this baptism of filth over America. He strictly ordered me to invest in a massive harvest. What a test of faith!
Now I am telling you! Do not go by what you see! Do not count out the idea of revival in America just yet!

Tucker Carlson called out the almost unanimous lying and abuse of power in America. But he showed us why the lie will not survive when he said, “But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink. They become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe: True things prevail.”
Satan has thwarted the American church with a paralyzing lie about revival. There are grave misunderstandings that we have about revival. Let me hit the biggest lie.
We do not realize that mercy causes revival. Yes, we must repent. Yes, there must be fervent prayer. But revival is—in the final definition—an act of mercy. Yes, we must do our part, but the real victory comes directly from the hand of God. And it will come yet again, in America. Why? It is what He does whenever evil is exalted.
When evil is exalted, God looks for deliverers. He scans the nation to see who will cleanse themselves from the carnal church and the intoxicated preachers. He looks for those who will allow God to make them indestructible and irresistible voices to restore America.
Here is a mirror of modern America from Isaiah 59 in the Old Testament:
Isaiah 59:14 “Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) stands far off; for truth has fallen in the street (the city’s forum), and uprightness cannot enter [the courts of justice].
15 Yes, truth is lacking, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.
16 And He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor [no one to intervene on behalf of truth and right]; therefore, His own arm brought Him victory, and His own righteousness [having the Spirit without measure] sustained Him.”
There is a lot to digest in these verses. We are living in that moment where truth has fallen in the streets, justice is not in the courtroom, and anyone who tries to do the right thing makes themselves a target. Not only this, but: We have just uncovered the greatest sin of the modern church—silence! A sin that is justified by taking a verse completely out of context. And that word is ‘intercessor.’
We have just uncovered the greatest sin of the modern church—silence!
We have over 400,000 protestant ministers in America. If only once they would speak out against evil, it would turn the tide. Many Christians believe that Isaiah 59:16 is only about prayer. But it is not. It is about speaking out against wickedness and injustice. It is about silence: “no one to intervene on behalf of truth and right.”
We have too many intercession movements that never get around to confronting the evil. For them, prayer can be abused into an excuse to remain silent. What power we would see if we prayed and obeyed!
Many Christians believe that Isaiah 59:16 is only about prayer. But it is not. It is about speaking out against wickedness and injustice. It is about silence: “no one to intervene on behalf of truth and right.”
Notice that in Isaiah’s day God was shocked by the silence. And He is also shocked today! Shocked at how far perversion can go without any pushback from preachers. But notice what God did next: “…therefore, His own arm brought Him victory.”
God will act out of love and mercy for our nation. But woe to those who were silent!
Revival will still come because a righteous core is still praying, and God will act out of love and mercy for our nation. But woe to those who were silent!
Therefore, I made the massive investment for souls because I know that a massive ingathering of souls is even at the door. You will see it.
But I must close with a word of warning. Those of you in pulpits who refuse to speak out against the evil: beware! Those who have remained silent will not go unpunished. Therefore, repent and declare the truth!
Yes, the revival will come. And yes, the nation will be spared. But those voices that built bunkers by avoiding truth—those who took the Bible out of context to protect their ministries will suffer great loss.
Esther 4:14, “For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?”
