A crusade like no other.
The crusade that opens on Sunday in Phoenix will be like no other. I know this for five reasons. These are not just indicators. They are living proof that something is coming. Something the word “crusade” cannot describe.
What is coming? Some say an awakening. Others say it is a turning point for a massive region. Still others say we will see thousands saved in just four days. I say something completely different. I say only God knows what is coming.
Habakkuk 1:5 says, “Look among the nations and watch—be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you.” But I do know it is something big. And it will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. Here are my reasons:
1. Satan fought this crusade harder than any other.
With only a month left to go we were evicted from our venue. How can any mass crusade come back from that?
Not only did we come back—we came back stronger than we would have if this eviction had never happened. It only intensified our vision!
It would have gone easier for the devil had he not done this. The army of the Lord is more fired up than ever. Now there is a vengeance burning in the hearts of all our team.
Martin Luther said, “Satan only attacks those he fears.” Well, let me tell you—the attack on us was fierce!
Revelations 12:12 tells us, “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time” (NKJV).
Why is hell having conniptions over this? Satan used every dirty trick he knew to try and stop it. What is going on here that frightens him so much?
Does he know something we do not know? Why are the powers of darkness convulsing over the Tent? What is going to fall on the crowd at the Arizona Fairgrounds?
2. The supernatural way we got a new venue.
We rushed an application to the Arizona State Fairgrounds. The day came when we had to have a contract. When their offices closed at 5 PM, we had no contract. The crusade was over.
I got the news at home. I was devastated. Strangely, I heard the voice of God say, “Go upstairs and pray.” Upstairs I felt a strong urge to read page 37 of the book, ‘Born for Battle’, by Arthur Matthews, before praying. These words jumped out at me:
“…deliverance from the power of the evil one comes through definite resistance on the ground of the cross.”
Suddenly, I began to address the enemy just as the book said. I told Satan the Fairgrounds was ours. My prayer turned to God the Father in total agreement with His will for Phoenix. Three minutes later I got a text from Steve Brown our media director. It read, “We have a contract.”
How could this be? It happened because a worker at the Fairgrounds headquarters stayed behind on Friday and worked until 8 PM to get our contract finished.
2 Chronicles 29:36, “Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly.”
3. Shocking surge of volunteers.
Our volunteer numbers with only four weeks to go were the lowest ever. We had 280 volunteers. The last time it was that low we cancelled a crusade. The numbers barely changed with only three weeks left. Then it happened!
The greatest surge of workers on record. We now have over 800 volunteers! Only God could do this.
Psalm 110:3 declares, “Your people will be willing volunteers in the day of Your power…”
4. The greatest hunger we have ever seen on the streets.
Frank Saldana who leads Inner City Action and our volunteer army told me something breathtaking. He told me that in all the street outreaches we have done—he has never seen souls saved on the streets like this.
Think of it! While some are getting saved, others come up and ask to be saved. Many hard cases are being delivered. Phoenix is under a holy siege.
Jesus said, “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” (John 4:35 NKJV).
It is a divine collision between the power of God and deep darkness. The river of God is now flowing where before only a river of fentanyl was flowing.
Who ever heard of this? A homeless camp organized a gathering so we could witness to them and pray for each person. Do you know how many of them gathered for us? 500 homeless people. Who ever heard of such a thing!
5. Our phone lines and emails have exploded.
If you have had trouble getting through there is a good reason. Our phone lines and emails have never been this busy. People are bringing their sick loved ones to the Tent from thousands of miles away.
No marketing can match the work of the Holy Spirit. He is brooding over Phoenix. He is building expectancy like I have never seen before. Is this—at long last—the explosion we have been waiting for?
Only God knows, but who can dare say it is not?
