'Such an evil thing': Online network run by Chinese 'cyber police' agent promotes prostitution, sex trafficking in U.S.

'The CCP uses drugs and sex to undermine target populations while simultaneously reaping enormous illicit profits to fund other nefarious activities'

A Telegram channel used by Chinese nationals to illegally immigrate to the U.S. also appears to be aiding and abetting prostitution and sex trafficking, a months-long Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.

The "American Self-Guided Tour Channel" on Telegram is one of several that facilitates Chinese illegal immigration into the U.S., serving as a hub for documents detailing things like border wall gaps and scripts for obtaining asylum, the DCNF recently reported. The 8,000-member channel is controlled by a self-proclaimed Chinese "cyber police" agent, who regularly bans accounts critical of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The DCNF discovered the Telegram channel after analyzing the contents of a cell phone abandoned by a Chinese illegal immigrant near the border between California and Mexico.

A review of hundreds of Chinese-language posts in the Telegram channel uncovered multiple accounts advertising prostitutes working primarily in California. The majority of the posts translated by the DCNF describe the prostitutes being advertised as illegal immigrants from China.

Likewise, several prominent accounts on the Telegram channel claim to be affiliated with so-called "snakeheads" — which is a Chinese term for human smugglers, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The DCNF also found accounts using the Telegram channel to recruit Chinese illegal immigrants to work in massage parlors that also appear to advertise on various escort websites. The DCNF contacted and even visited the locations of several of the Los Angeles-area businesses mentioned in the Telegram channel's posts, but questions remain as to the exact nature of these establishments.

"Nail salons and massage parlors have been used as fronts for money laundering and sex trafficking operations by Chinese nationals and groups linked to the CCP," Ammon Blair, a former Border Patrol agent and Army veteran, told the DCNF.

"[The CCP uses] drugs and sex to undermine target populations while simultaneously reaping enormous illicit profits to fund other nefarious activities, said Blair, who's now a senior fellow for the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

The U.S. has experienced an 1,100% spike in Chinese illegal immigration since fiscal year 2022, according to the federal government. Moreover, single adults comprise the vast majority of the over 55,000 Chinese illegal immigrants encountered by U.S. authorities so far in 2024, Customs and Border Protection data shows.

Intelligence experts and Republican lawmakers have repeatedly warned that Chinese illegal immigration poses a "national security threat" to the U.S.

"The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is corrupt and self-serving," Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio told the DCNF. "The Party and its officials facilitate sex and labor trafficking across the globe to help advance the goals of the regime."

"The scope of Beijing's efforts is vast and the Biden Administration needs to do more to counter the threat," Rubio said.

Telegram did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

'All From Women Who've Illegally Immigrated'

One of the American Self-Guided Tour Channel's most active accounts promoting prostitution goes by the name "@sungou999." The account routinely expresses pro-CCP views and also serves as an administrator of a related 2,000-member Telegram group with the same name and cover image.

A review of @sungou999's posts, which are mostly written in Chinese, found the account primarily advertises prostitutes and businesses selling sex near Monterey Park, a city north of Los Angeles that's become a hotbed of Chinese illegal immigration.

In one instance, @sungou999 posted several images of Asian women on May 11, 2024. Below one of the photos, he wrote: "Los Angeles prostitutes."

"How much does sex with this trash cost?" another account asked @sungou999.

"140," @sungou999 replied.

In a related Telegram message, @sungou999 put up what appears to be an image of one of the prostitutes engaged in a sex act.

"Massage prices from Chinese women have now fallen to $100 and include sex," @sungou999 wrote above the image.

That same day, @sungou999 posted several other photos showing a naked Asian woman lying on a bed in a room with pink lighting.

"Now many illegal immigrant women are doing this, below, a group member spent $80 to experience love in Fatty Ding Plaza," @sungou999 wrote above the photo, referencing the nickname for a Monterey Park strip mall. 

The DCNF found dozens of other posts and documents in the Telegram channel mentioning the strip mall, which seems to serve as a popular congregation point for Chinese illegal immigrants looking for jobs and other services.

Using a pseudonym, the DCNF messaged @sungou999 to ask about the identity of the woman in the picture.

"I'll give you the contact information for $50," he replied, "and if you're not satisfied I'll return the money."

In addition to promoting prostitutes, @sungou999 has also advertised several massage parlors purportedly engaged in prostitution.

On June 4, 2024, for instance, the account shared the address of a massage parlor in El Monte, California.

"Service from this massage parlor is all from women who've illegally immigrated," @sungou999 wrote in the post before adding, "Blowjob 100, handjob 60, sex 140."

The DCNF matched the address from @sungou999's post with one found on the website of a massage parlor in El Monte, California. The DCNF anonymously contacted the massage parlor via text and asked if their services included any of the sexual acts described in @sungou999's Telegram post.

"$50 for a one hour full body massage," a representative for the business replied, before sharing its El Monte business address. "Come over here and talk."

'Illicit Activities'

The DCNF also discovered accounts in the Telegram channel recruiting for massage parlors that also appear on websites for escort services. The DCNF matched contact information from over half a dozen California massage parlors with advertisements from the American Self-Guided Tour Channel and escort websites, like Skip The Games, Rub Maps and Scarlet Amour.

One such ad was posted in the Telegram channel on February 20, 2024.

"Recruiting part-time female masseuses," the post reads. "One hour drive from San Jose."

The phone number listed in the Telegram recruitment post was also found in multiple ads on escort websites, including Skip The Games, which describes itself as "the world's most popular adult site to find escorts and providers near you."

The DCNF visited the locations of several Los Angeles massage parlors mentioned in the Telegram channel, and, on more than one occasion, observed young Asian women by the businesses' windows appearing to present themselves to potential clients outside.

Accounts within the Telegram channel, including @sungou999, have claimed that Chinese illegal immigrant women work as prostitutes at several of these massage parlors.

Some nail salons and massage parlors "operate as cash-based businesses to launder money from illicit activities, while also trafficking women to provide sexual services under coercion," said Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

'Snakehead'

Several accounts within the American Self-Guided Tour Channel, including @sungou999, have also identified themselves as being affiliated with "snakeheads" or human smugglers.

"I'm very happy to share this industry," @sungou999 posted in the Telegram channel on March 28, 2024.

"Become a snakehead. There's nothing shameful about this trade," he continued, before adding "California Border Patrol all know my big group."

A review of @sungou999's posts also found claims one of his uncles made $900,000 as a snakehead smuggling 15 Chinese illegal immigrants into the U.S.

While it remains unclear what, if any, position @sungou999 holds with Chinese human smuggling organizations, the DCNF found that the account advertises paid "consulting" services on how to illegally immigrate to the U.S.

The account claims to earn $9,000 a month in consulting fees, which he has waived on at least one occasion in exchange for sex from a female Chinese illegal immigrant, according to his posts.

[Image created by the DCNF with screenshot from American Self-Guided Tour Channel]

Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn told the DCNF that Chinese human smugglers and sex traffickers are "doing it because it is lucrative," adding that human trafficking has grown into a "$150 billion-a-year global business."

"You are looking at organizations who don't have our values," said Blackburn, "who are into such an evil thing as trafficking women and children."

Chinese human traffickers "subject [Chinese] men, women and children to forced labor and sex trafficking in more than 80 other countries," the State Department warned in 2023.

While the number of Chinese illegal immigrant sex trafficking victims is unknown, Blackburn said it's "been a consistent increase over the last three years," citing an "8,000% increase" in Chinese illegal immigrants in recent years, which she described as a "national security concern."

And yet, the actual number of Chinese illegal immigrants may be much higher than figures reported by the federal government, North Carolina Republican Rep. Dan Bishop told the DCNF.

"Chinese national illegal migration into the country as a whole, the absolute numbers are larger, " Bishop said.

In May 2024, Bishop chaired the House Homeland Security Committee's oversight subcommittee hearing concerning the unprecedented surge in Chinese illegal immigrants the U.S. has experienced since President Joe Biden took office.

The hearing followed a January 2024 DCNF investigation revealing an email showing that the Biden administration dramatically simplified the vetting process for Chinese illegal immigrants by reducing the number of interview questions Border Patrol agents are required to ask from roughly 40 down to just five.

"It is a shocking and unexplained development," Bishop said.

Kamala called 'most vile anti-Catholic threat of any leading candidate for president in American history'

 WND

'She is a candidate of the hard left. And her record and her words demonstrate a gross bias and bigotry'

By Bob Unruh

July 30, 2024

St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City

Under the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Americans of faith often have fared poorly. 

The leftists have tried to force doctors who oppose abortion to perform those grisly procedures, and company owners who oppose abortion to pay for them.

They have demanded, under the guise of civil rights, endorsement of the radical and injurious transgender ideology.

The Christian Post reported the FBI under Biden and Harris targeted traditional Catholics and Congress found the administration breached "religious freedom."

In fact, the FBI had claimed, wildly, that "radical-traditionalist Catholics" were a national security threat.

Now a faith organization of Catholics is warning Harris, the presumptive Democrat nominee for president, is one of the most anti-Catholic politicians ever.

And CatholicVote.org has launched a campaign in heavily Catholic swing states to warn about her ideologies.

The organization's chief, Brian Burch, in an interview with Fox, explained, "Kamala Harris represents the most vile anti-Catholic threat of any leading candidate for president in American history. 

She is a candidate of the hard left. 

And her record and her words demonstrate a gross anti-Catholic bias and bigotry."

That's significant because since at least 2000, Catholics have been with the victor in every presidential election but one.

They backed George W. Buish in 2000 and 2004, and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.

They went for President Donald Trump 52%-44% in 2016. In 2020 it was a literal tie with 49% of the Catholic vote for Biden and 50% for Trump.

Biden long has claimed to be Catholic, but openly and proudly violates some of the church's basic teachings, including those on abortion.

A spokesman for Harris, James Singer, claimed, "Vice President Harris is proud to serve with the second Catholic president ever. 

Catholic voters are not defined by a single partisan organization, but by their values, communities, faith in each other, and love of our country — and Kamala Harris will fight every day to earn their vote."

Burch explained though, that Harris' opposition to and ridicule of Catholic beliefs dates back years.

It was in 2018 that Harris "vilified" the judicial nomination of Brian Buescher, a member of the Catholic group Knights of Columbus, for his membership.

At the time, she lashed out at KOC as an "all-male" group that opposes "a woman's right to choose."

The report noted, "The Knights of Columbus was founded in 1882 by Fr. Michael McGivney to be a 'mission of charity,' to help widows, orphans and the less fortunate."

And when Harris was attorney general in California, she got a law passed demanding that pro-life pregnancy centers  "promote" abortion, a scheme that later was declared unconstitutional.

Burch, in a message to supporters, said, "Harris shamelessly used Buescher's membership in the world's largest charitable organization to suggest that espousing Catholic teachings on abortion and same-sex 'marriage' disqualifies an individual from serving in public office."

Burch also cited Harris' perfect score from abortion industry giant Planned Parenthood, an organization that violates Catholic church teachings with just about every one of its policies.

The report noted Mathew Schmalz, of the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts claimed Harris wasn't really "anti-Catholic."

She was just "articulating a different kind of political vision than, say, conservative Catholics would be comfortable with."

The media has joined the campaign to vilify Catholics when they discuss their faith, and it doesn't agree with the liberal bent.

"When Kansas City Chief's kicker Harrison Butker expressed his traditional Catholic beliefs about gender, women and life, in a commencement speech last May at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, the mainstream media pounced — calling his remarks controversial, anti-women and anti-LGBTQ," the report said.

And when President Donald Trump picked Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his vice-presidential candidate, media voices called him a "firebrand" Catholic racist.

Burch said CatholicVote's campaign will address voters in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan and Pennsylvania – all critical components of the 2024 vote.

He said, "Obviously, many of them are Democrats. 

Many of them are Republicans. 

But the key segment here is going to be those Catholic voters in the middle, those voters who maybe were Democrat by tradition or family who have been disenchanted with the party and now have moved to the middle — or some of them, of course, are moving to the right with Trump."

HAMAS LEADER ASSASSINATED IN TEHRAN - IRAN VOWS REVENGE ON ISRAEL - FEARS OF ALL-OUT WAR

 

HAMAS LEADER ASSASSINATED IN TEHRAN
IRAN VOWS REVENGE ON ISRAEL
FEARS OF ALL-OUT WAR

A ‘Palestinian’ State Already Exists

A Palestinian state already exists. Israeli officials have, it’s true, seldom mentioned that the land which became the Emirate of Transjordan (today’s Jordan) was originally intended, under the Mandate for Palestine, to be included in the future Jewish National Home. 

That land, on the east side of the Jordan River “out to the desert,” constituted 78% of that territory. 

But in 1921, the British, as holder of the Palestine Mandate, decided to seal off eastern “Palestine” from Jewish immigration, in order to create, as a kind of consolation prize for the Hashemite Emir Abdullah, a state he could call his own, just as the British had made his younger brother Feisal the King of Iraq. 

The Israelis need on every possible occasion to repeat that historical truth: Israel today, with the “West Bank,” consists of only 22% of the territory the Zionists had originally been promised by the League of Nations. 

That should eventually, sink into some minds. 

People like to say that “Lies win out by dint of repetition.” 

But the truth, in this insufficiently informed and credulous age, needs to be repeated just as much. 

The history of the Arab war on Israel is a complicated thing: how many people can be expected to know about the Balfour Declaration, the Treaty of San Remo, the Mandate for Palestine (especially its Preamble and Articles 4 and 6), and so much more? Just keep telling all who will listen that “78% of the original territory of the Mandate for Palestine became the Arab Kingdom of Jordan. 

Now you want to strip Israel of still more territory, in order that there will be a 23rd Arab state?” 

That makes an impression. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Israel cannot entrust its security to peace treaties with Arab states; it has to explain to the world that the model for Muslim treaty-making with non-Muslims is the Treaty of Al-Hudaibiyya that Muhammad made with the Meccans in 628 A.D. The treaty was to have lasted for 10 years. 

But after 18 months, feeling that his side had grown sufficiently strong to defeat his enemies, Muhammad broke the treaty and attacked the Meccans. 

The Hudaibiyya Treaty is a model for Muslims to emulate; they extol Muhammad for his “cleverness” in outsmarting the trusting Meccans. 

Israel has to remember the Treaty of Al-Hudaibiyya every time it is told that it must base its security not on the possession of “secure [i.e. defensible] and recognized borders” (as UN Resolution 242 stipulates), but on the signing of “peace treaties” with the Arabs which may — or may not – last.

The chief drafter of Resolution 242 was Lord Caradon (Hugh M. Foot), the permanent representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations from 1964 to 1970. 

At the time of the Resolution’s discussion and subsequent unanimous passage, and on many occasions since, Lord Caradon always insisted that the phrase “from the territories” quite deliberately did not mean “all the territories,” but merely some of the territories:

Much play has been made of the fact that we didn’t say “the” territories or “all the” territories. But that was deliberate. I myself knew very well the 1967 boundaries and if we had put in the “the” or “all the” that could only have meant that we wished to see the 1967 boundaries perpetuated in the form of a permanent frontier. This I was certainly not prepared to recommend.

On another occasion, to an interviewer from the Journal of Palestine Studies (Spring-Summer 1976), he again insisted on the deliberateness of the wording. He was asked:

The basis for any settlement will be United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, of which you were the architect. Would you say there is a contradiction between the part of the resolution that stresses the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war and that which calls for Israeli withdrawal from “occupied territories,” but not from “the occupied territories”?

Nota bene: “from territories occupied” is not the same thing as “from occupied territories” – the first is neutral, the second a loaded description. Lord Caradon answered:

I defend the resolution as it stands. What it states, as you know, is first the general principle of inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war. That means that you can’t justify holding onto territory merely because you conquered it. We could have said: well, you go back to the 1967 line. But I know the 1967 line, and it’s a rotten line. You couldn’t have a worse line for a permanent international boundary. It’s where the troops happened to be on a certain night in 1948. It’s got no relation to the needs of the situation.

Had we said that you must go back to the 1967 line, which would have resulted if we had specified a retreat from all the occupied territories, we would have been wrong.

Note how Lord Caradon says that “you can’t justify holding onto territory merely because you conquered it,” with that “merely” applying to Jordan, but not to Israel, because of the Mandate’s provisions allocating the territory known now as the “West Bank” to the Jewish state. 

Note, too, the firmness of his dismissal of the 1967 lines as nothing more than “where the troops happened to be on a certain night in 1948,” that is, nothing more than armistice lines and not internationally recognized borders.

Fight Against Treachery

One does not need to embrace religion to recognize that something beyond our understanding saved former President Donald Trump from death.

One does not need to embrace religion to recognize that something beyond our understanding saved former President Donald Trump from death. 

With the FBI confirming that it was, in fact, a bullet that came to within millimeters of a fatal head wound, Trump has survived an assassination attempt that would have changed the course of American history.

Some call it divine intervention. 

Others chalk it up to simply fate. 

It reminds us of those Americans who went to work in the Twin Towers on the morning of 9/11 and those delayed in transit. 

Today, we each must reflect on the forces that had an assassin miss his target by a literal hair's breath.

Trump, shaking off the shock of a failed assassination attempt with an appeal to "fight," stood tall, with blood on his face, his fist in the air and an appeal to "fight," in defiance of treachery. 

It was a response that will go down in history.

Rising Up to a New Level of Power in Eau Claire

by Larry Rutledge | Jul 31, 2024 | Living Proof Tent Crusades

Night three went to yet another level. 

It is incredible to experience what God is doing in Wisconsin! These have been some of the best meetings I have ever been in.

Catherine and her band once again started the night off perfectly. I often tell people that Catherine is the right fit for these meetings because she has the same heart as Mario. 

Her desire to see people saved, healed, and set free matches the desire I watch in Mario. 

And the whole band is incredibly talented, God has prepared them for this precise moment in history.

Mario took the stage. 

He wasted no time, immediately declared that this was a miracle service! 

He said that is what makes us different from any other religion or organization in the world—that we are the only movement in the history of the world where the Founder attends every meeting, adding: 

“He is here! And because of that all things are possible.”

Mario began by talking about pronouns. He read from Acts 16:

“Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day we came to Neapolis” (Acts 16:6-11 NKJV).

Mario pointed out how the pronouns referenced throughout these verses were “they” and “them”. He said if you put the question to deeply divided Christian leaders, “Who is the problem? They will never say the problem is they themselves, it is always “they” and “them” who are the problem. 

In this passage, Paul did not know which direction to go, but when he got a vision of where to go he wrote, “immediately we“. The terms ‘they’ and ‘them’ were instantly replaced with ‘we’.

What turns a city of churches from ‘they’ and ‘them’, into ‘we’, is the most powerful thing there is. He pointed out the final verse where it says Paul arrived in Neapolis in one day. That trip normally takes two days of sailing. Just like when the wind of the Spirit of God fills our sails, a vision causes a unity that turns the ‘they’ and the ‘them’ into ‘we’, and whatever that common group decides to do together will sail before the wind of the Spirit.

Mario then told about a time he got a phone call from a radio station that wanted him to answer a ‘gotcha’ kind of question. There had been a hurricane in Florida and the host began by asking, “If God is love, why did Christians lose their homes along with sinners?” He intended to trap Mario, who started by asking God what he should say. God told him to say, “the foolish man built his house on the sand.” And Mario told God he didn’t want to say that, it would sound unloving. But God refused to give him more to say, until he said those very words.

So when Mario said, “the foolish man built his house on the sand” it immediately made the radio show host angry. Then God told Mario what to say next: “the wise man built his house on the rock.” Again Mario struggled with saying that, but God said the rest would only come if he said those words. So Mario said those two statements again, and again the host was not happy with the answer. Then God revealed the rest to Mario: Jesus said that storms are coming.

Mario said he did not become a Christian because it would mean the end of storms in his life. He became a Christian because storms are coming whether he was a Christian or not. And the way to make it through a storm is with Jesus, not without Him!

The passage says, the wise man built his house on the rock AND the storm came. The man’s wisdom did not prevent the storm. Some think the right politician will save America from destruction, but he cannot. He can only buy time for the Church to wake up, for the pastor’s to quit being divided, for all the entertainment to get out of the Church, and for revival to get in the Church. For us to quit being divided, quit being full of doubt, and get back in the Word of God and be refilled with the fire of Jesus.

Mario talked about how the largest empire on planet Earth was in place at the time of Jesus birth. At that time, the Roman Empire had the most power and control. Caesar Augustus sat at the top and he conducted a census, making the entire world return to their place of birth, just so he could tax them.

He said it’s easy to look at the powers of the world today and as the people of God, to feel insignificant and unable to make a difference. But Augustus Caesar made that decree to fulfill a prophecy from 500 years earlier in the Book of Micah, saying that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. So, the reason the whole world was taxed was to get Jospeh and Mary to Bethlehem.

Armies, weapons, even atomic weapons will not have the final say. The King of kings and Lord of lords will decide the fate of nations.

Mario looked at the people and told them their body is a building, that they are building something and only they know if it’s being built on sand or on rock.

Mario said Christianity is defined only by the Word of God, not by a change of attitude. You do not use Christ as positive thinking, you use Christ as death to self and being raised into new life.

Mario repeated the verse again, “Whoever hears the sayings of Christ and does not do them, is like a man who built his house on the sand. And the storm came.” He said again that the storm is coming. And you will not just go down alone, you will take people with you.

Mario spoke about hell and said the best proof that hell is real is found in John 3:16:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16a NKJV).

And he added that this verse is the best proof of the horrors of hell, because what reveals how bad something is the measures someone will go to keep you from that consequence. For God to give up His Son reveals how horrible hell is: that the Father had to send Jesus to die to save us from the horror of hell.

Then came the time when Mario had everyone close their eyes and compelled those who wanted to build on the rock in order to withstand the storm that is coming, to raise their hands, then to stand, and finally to come forward.

It was another great response. 

Hundreds came forward, many with tears pouring down their face as they walked to the altar to surrender their life.

Mario prayed with them and then released them to be ministered to by our great team of volunteers. 

I always enjoy walking out of the Tent and seeing the joy in the face of our volunteers as they wait for these new members of the family of God to walk out to them.

While they were being ministered to, we celebrated these new births with what has become the theme song, “Look What the Lord Has Done,” led by Catherine and her band.

Mario then told a story that had been told to him one day by Luis Palau. Luis told how one day the onslaught of criticism against Oral Roberts had become too much to bear, and Oral was in a depression, and he locked himself in his room and refused to speak with anyone. When Oral’s wife Evelyn learned that Billy Graham happened to be in the same town where Oral was, she asked him to speak with Oral.

When Billy met with Oral, he asked Oral to share his heart. Oral began by saying that everything people and the media were saying about Billy was positive, but everything they were saying about Oral was negative. He shared how discouraging it was to receive so much criticism and negativity, and to see Billy receive so much praise and encouragement.

Billy began to share with Oral how once when he was in a crusade in Africa and after the meeting, a mother ran up to Billy with her crippled child, thinking Billy was Oral. And Billy said it was devastating to feel unable to do anything to help her. Billy was aware that Oral was blessed to feel the power of God in his right hand, and Billy said that he would trade all the praise and accolades if he could feel the power of God move through his hand just once.

Mario then shared that there is a price to be paid for moving in the Spirit. And many ministers don’t do it simply because of the price. He shared that the ministers who move in true supernatural power are very frustrated because they always want more. To see more and to watch God do more.

He told the people to quit watching these online ministers who have never suffered personal sacrifice, nor have they died to self. He said they are arrogant entertainers and we need to quit following them.

Mario said God gave him a gift that answered the longing of his heart to one day see a meeting where every person is miraculously healed.

He said God pulled back the veil and he was allowed to see the mystery revealed. The Lord showed Mario the story in John that was the only time that, instead of someone being brought to Him, Jesus instead sought out the person to be healed. He read from John 6, the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda.

“When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”” (John 5:6 NKJV).

Mario then emphasized the part of the story that says Jesus knew that the man had already been in that condition a long time.” Adding, “God already knows how long you have been suffering. He knows how long you have been sick, in pain, and in need.”

Then he talked about how the man’s response was all the reasons why he has not been able to be healed. Either the water isn’t troubled, or the water is troubled and no one can lower him in time. And said this is what we’ve done to healing today. We made it complicated, horrible, unreachable, and contradictory.

The problem was the man himself. His heart and attitude. The thing that could be preventing your healing is your heart and attitude. This man was no longer living, he was simply existing and waiting for his healing.

Jesus asked the man if he really wanted to be healed. The man gave his religious excuses why it has not happened. He was resigned to the fact this was his life, and had developed a theology around why it was the case.

But Jesus broke his theology with the next statement, “Rise, take up your bed, and walk.”

Then the atmosphere in the Tent suddenly shifted and Mario turned toward one section of the Tent and called out a woman. He told her this was the end of a lifetime of sickness. That she had been suffering since was a child. He told her she was being healed of so much he could not even recount it all. Her organs, her back, neck, feet, legs, stomach, and eyes. That there were 15 different conditions.

Next he pointed to another person in the middle section. 

The power of God was so strong on this person they could barely stand as they convulsed under the power and glory of what God was doing. J

umping and dancing and shouting to God. 

Heart, lungs, and pancreas all were being healed and restored.

Mario told the people he wanted to see how deep they wanted to go into the things of God and had them begin to pray in the Spirit. And as they did, Mario related that people were being healed and baptized in the Holy Spirit.

He then came back to the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda. He said before Jesus could heal the man of his sickness, he had to heal him of the power the pool had over him. This was a moment where the Old Testament was ending and the New Testament was beginning. Instead of an angel that troubled the water occasionally, it was now the river prophesied by Ezekiel that would flow.

Jesus essentially asked the man if he wanted a miracle or a method? Did he want to go through the process or be healed? God is too great to be bound by a formula.

He then shifted again and pointed to a woman near the back, and had her stand. A growth was vanishing, joints moving back into place, restored balance and breathing, healing for her ears, eyes, and heart.

Once again Mario returned to the scripture and said there were three things Jesus told the man to do: rise, take up his bed, and walk. He had the people repeat these three things.

He said, “Have you ever been in a plane during a storm, and when you finally break through the clouds it is shocking how quickly everything turns peaceful. And this is what Jesus was saying. Rise, come up to my level. Come out of your world and into my world.”

Suddenly Mario stopped and called out a man who was being touched and revealed that the man was being healed because God is going to use him. His spine was straightened and pain left his body.

The second part of the scripture is to take up his bed. In his paralysis, before he had been healed, Jesus commanded the man to do something that was truly impossible. To get out of what has become comfortable, to roll it up. And then to walk.

Mario pointed toward the back of the Tent and revealed that someone was being healed of heart disease. Then he had the people raise their hands and begin praying in the Spirit once again.

He pointed out two women with arthritis, both being healed. The one he had turn and begin to pray for another woman. This third woman was healed through her spinal cord and her ability to move was restored. The power of God went through her stomach and something was being burned out from her abdomen.

Next he had everyone who was battling diabetes and cancer to stand up, and people stood up all over the Tent. Then he had those near them lay hands on them and pray for them.

Next anyone suffering in their spine, legs, neck, or shoulder was told to stand. And they were healed as people laid hands on and prayed for them.

Then the woman who had been prayed for a few moments earlier began to make her way to the front. Practically running, jumping, and dancing. She was barely able to move before and now was dancing with great joy. She was moving her fingers, her arms, and her legs with no pain and no difficulty.

Then another woman in the middle, toward the back, was being restored in her body. Mario told her that she was an athlete who had a sports talent that had been attacked, but that talent was now restored as her ligaments and joints were being healed.

Then Mario had her lay hands on chest of the man next to her, and he was healed of heart disease.

It was such a night of incredible power and revelation. I can’t even imagine how God will finish this crusade tomorrow, on the final night. If you can be there, I would highly recommend it, if not then you should really watch the service online. You don’t want to miss it!

If you can come early, you should, because the Tent is full well before the start time, and we often begin the service as soon as it is full.
