REVIVAL to REVOLUTION: What We Must Do in 2024 | Tony Suarez

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
We're going to get some wins in 2024.

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,280
Tony Suarez, it's great to have you here on Charisma News,

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,040
and we are gathering prophetic words that God is speaking about the year 2024.

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:26,000
And so today we ask you, what is God saying about 2024, and what do we need to do about it as the

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,400
body of Christ? So welcome to Charisma News, Tony.

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:33,120
Well, John, thank you for having me. I'm thankful for you, thankful for Steve and Charisma,

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,080
and the opportunity to share what the Spirit is saying to me. And it was interesting when you

8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:47,520
texted me, I had just heard from the Lord, maybe 48 hours before you got in touch with me. And

9
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:56,240
it was interesting because I wasn't seeking a word for 2024 just yet. This has been our busiest

10
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:02,080
year ever, been traveling. God's blessed. I mean, we're in the middle of a blessing as we speak

11
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:09,360
right now. And so I was focused on the right now. And what happened was I woke up that morning and

12
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,240
decided I was going to go live, but I didn't know what to share. I just felt like I needed to go

13
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,280
live, but I didn't know what I was going to share. And then in the car from my house to the office,

14
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,120
this is what I heard the Lord say. He said, from revival to revolution. That's all he said.

15
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:31,040
And that just got in me. And then it just kind of got like a hook in my heart, my spirit, my mind.

16
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,360
It wouldn't let go. And I started, as I started, as I would say, getting into the word and just

17
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,800
exploring that word for what that would mean. And I mean, this is all within 20 minutes. I mean,

18
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:48,480
it's not that far from my house to the office. I just really started understanding that this is

19
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:57,280
the purpose of the Lord for the body of Christ in this season going into 2024 and 2024. So this is

20
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:05,200
how I contextualize it. Our ministry has been declaring, prophesying and decreeing since 2020

21
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:13,520
that revival is not coming. Revival is here. Again, the context for that context is that all our

22
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,760
lives we've heard revival is coming. There would be a great move of God. And someone would say,

23
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,800
you haven't seen anything yet. Or someone else would get up and say, one day, oh, just wait for

24
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:32,560
that one day. And we've been waiting for that one day since the day of Pentecost, or at least in

25
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,240
modern terms, since, uh, since Topeka and Azusa, we've been hearing about this one day. Well, I

26
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,840
don't believe one day is coming. I believe that today is that one day that we were longing for.

27
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:51,520
Revival is here. We have to step into the current move of God. I'm no longer longing, seeking,

28
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:58,000
expecting another move. This is that move. This is the day that was spoken of by the Prophet Joel.

29
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
It's backed up in the revivals that we're seeing, um, all over the nation and the world,

30
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,560
the mass baptisms in California, the college campus revivals that have broken out, broken out,

31
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,680
churches or, or moves of God that are sparking throughout the land were, um, a year ago, there

32
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,760
was nothing. And now this year, there's thousands or hundreds gathering or supernatural finances

33
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:29,120
that are coming into ministries and they're acquiring land or buildings and real estate. And

34
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,160
you just see the hand of the Lord. These are the days that are, that are poor,

35
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,560
Pentecostal founders were dreaming of when they were called the people of the other side of the

36
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:48,720
tracks were no longer that these are those days. But the Lord impressed on me that we must go from

37
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:56,160
revival to revolution. So the church has been revived. I prophesied in 2020 that the American

38
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:02,000
church was going to see that the fire never died. We just had to fan the flame a little bit second

39
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:09,440
10th, chapter one. So the, the flame was fanned through a pandemic, uh, through whatever you

40
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:17,200
believe about the election, the upheaval in our nation, um, woke agendas. We've seen that flame

41
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:24,960
of, of revival fanned and it's, it's strong. The church is as strong as I've known it to be

42
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,200
in many years. Um, the seeker sensitive movement is no longer, it's no longer something we're

43
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,920
having to look at and say it's taken over the church. Revival has taken over the seeker sensitive

44
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,480
movement. A lot of those that had left have now come back to their roots. They're coming back to

45
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,320
Pentecost. You're hearing about outpourings of the Holy ghost and, uh, major revivals taking place

46
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,120
everywhere. So I said, well, Lord, what does that mean? I mean, we're, our ministry's called

47
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,840
revival makers. We preach revival everywhere we go. We say revival's not coming. Revival is here.

48
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,320
And he said revival has to turn into revolution. And so he likened it to me, the declaration of

49
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,080
independence to winning the war. And this is the second word I heard. He said, the church will no

50
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,680
longer be known for their fight, but they will be known for their victory. We have declared revival.

51
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,720
We have prayed for revival. We have sought revival. And I believe that there are many that have done

52
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,200
the right things to have revival, but now revival must bring about a true revolution. That means it

53
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,960
must leave the four walls of the church. It can no longer be just Christians having revival. We

54
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,320
can't just be rebaptizing people that have already been baptized, praying through those that have

55
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,200
already been prayed through, preaching to those that have already received the gospel, having

56
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,240
another altar call with those that have already had an opportunity to an altar call. But it's now

57
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:53,280
time to have a revolution in the world. And that means take the land, take these strongholds,

58
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:59,280
and claim them for the gospel of Jesus Christ. No longer tell the stories of how the revivals of old

59
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,600
dried up the bars or closed this business or that illicit business or how the police used to report

60
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:14,400
from Mariah Woodworth, Ed or them. There was no crime. Those can no longer be our stories. Those

61
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:22,560
must be our current realities. That is a revolutionizing move of God. So that doesn't mean we're stepping

62
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,640
away from revival because you have, if you don't keep fanning the flame, the flame will start to

63
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,880
die down. Right, right. This is a twofold thing. You got to keep fanning the flame, but now it's

64
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:42,080
time to cook. How about that analogy? Good cheap preacher analogy right now. Which one

65
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,840
does have a flame? Now it's time to cook on it. It's time to produce something from that fire.

66
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:55,520
And for me, that is saying souls saved, souls filled with the Holy Ghost, souls water baptized,

67
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:03,680
seeing people come into the truth of the Word of God. I'm believing, you know, in Hebrews chapter 11,

68
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:10,880
in that great chapter of faith, it talks about how nations were subdued because of the

69
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:17,760
orperials of faith. It's time for us to subdue a nation. It's time for us real time to see God.

70
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:26,560
Right now, I'm not prophesying. I'm just speaking in faith. How about right now, we see a nation known

71
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:35,840
for its Islamic faith so overtaken by revival that a revolution takes place and now the national

72
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:42,400
religion is no longer Islam, but it's Christianity. What about a revolution in the United States?

73
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,320
A Jesus revolution. I think there was a movie about that. What about a Jesus revolution so great

74
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:56,480
that it's not just Christians getting a touch, but it is we can see the evidence of California

75
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:05,760
changing, Washington DC changing. What if revival broke out on the Capitol? I mean, I saw a picture

76
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:13,120
not too long ago of congressmen and women kneeling down in prayer. But what if the fire of God

77
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:19,760
swept into that room? And what if there was a manifestation of the glory of God? I'm just saying

78
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:26,800
what if, but it happens when we go from revival to revolution. So I'm at this place now where I

79
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,440
want to see the change. I don't want to just keep complaining about how bad the schools are. I want

80
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:39,040
a revolution in the schools. I don't want to just keep complaining about how corrupt our government

81
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:45,200
is. I want to see revolution take place. I don't want to keep hearing the polls about how bad it

82
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:53,360
is with Gen Z or Gen Alpha. I want a revolution because if we have fire, if we have the oil,

83
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:59,760
if we have the glory, if we have the manifest presence of God, but the sick aren't being healed

84
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:06,720
and people aren't being saved and we don't see the change in the culture, then what did revival

85
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:13,920
produce? It must go be, and I say that so cautiously because I love the move of God. I love the move

86
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:20,400
of God. But the move of God has to do more than just make me feel good. It's got to be more than

87
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:26,240
just coming out and saying, whoa, man, I got, what are some of the terms they use? Man, I got

88
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:33,360
goosebumps. Yeah. Yeah, I got goosebumps. I got slammed in the glory. I got, you know, whatever

89
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:40,320
the, man, I got hit so hard. I love that. I want to get hit by the glory. I love being, but it's

90
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,400
got to do more than just, I got to turn it into a revolution because I believe that we're going to

91
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:52,320
answer for this time in history before the throne. What did you do with my glory? What did you do

92
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:59,040
with my fire? What did you do with the anointing I gave you? And if we say we kept it, we just kept it.

93
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,360
There's a, there's a parable about that. But if we say, Father, we spread it. We started preaching

94
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,960
and teaching. We didn't use social media to attack one another. We used it as a vehicle to preach the

95
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:17,280
gospel, to prophesy. And because of that, millions came into, then we will have used it and for his

96
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:23,200
glory and turn the revival into a revolution. Amen. You know, Pastor Tony, as you were talking about

97
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,640
this revolution thing, you brought up about the revolutionary war. And I find it very interesting

98
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:38,400
that the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776. And we celebrate the, you know,

99
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:44,000
the founding of our nation as that day of the declaration. Right. But you look at when actually

100
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,440
we've earned the deck, we earned that independence. It wasn't until September 3rd, 1783. Yeah. So

101
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,600
more than six years, they had to fight for it. They had to continue to battle for what they had

102
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,560
declared. Yeah. And I think so many times, I didn't know that number's off the top of my head. I had

103
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:06,480
to look it up as you were talking, because I just felt the word say, go look that up. Because you,

104
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,480
sometimes you can declare a thing and then you need to battle for it until you actually get it.

105
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,720
And sometimes I think we get caught up in the, well, we declared it and it's just not happening.

106
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Yeah. You can't just declare something and you have to battle for it sometimes because

107
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:29,360
there, the Bible says that the kingdom advances and the violent take it by force. Amen. And so

108
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,760
if we're going to have this revolution that God's speaking to you about, then we need to do something

109
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,360
about it. Pastor Tony, what is something, what are two or three things that we can do to put

110
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,840
this in action right now in 2024? Yeah. And let, let, if I can add to that. Go for it. They say

111
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:52,080
the, and again, I'm, this is, this is a quick Google search, right? Yeah. Revolutionary War

112
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:59,760
technically began 1775, even before the declaration. So we begin fighting, we make a declaration,

113
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,960
but we don't ultimately have the victory that you're talking about till 1783. So I would liken

114
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,600
that to this time, there was a fight, there was a remnant that was holding on to the spirit of

115
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,080
revival through this, through the last 30 years of the seeker sensitive movement. I mean, there was

116
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:19,280
somebody holding on and fighting, but then a declaration came out. Phil Muncie told me in

117
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:28,160
2021, he called me and he said, right now you are working to, you're, you're, you're working to

118
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,600
persuade people. He's prophesied to me. He said, you're, you're, you're message, you're trying to

119
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,440
persuade God's using you to persuade. He said, but you're going to live long enough to see the

120
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,800
church convinced that revival is here. Now, when he said you're going to live long enough to see it,

121
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:50,080
I, my mind, okay, this is going to take 50 years, 60 years. It took two years, two years. And now

122
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,680
revival is in vogue. Everybody's talk. Everybody wants revival. Everybody's hungering for it.

123
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:01,920
The church is convinced about revival. So now to get that ultimate victory, because remember,

124
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,960
the Lord said the second word the Lord gave me this year is that for 2024 is we won't be known

125
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,560
by our fight. We'll be known by our victories. We were known in the world for what we fight

126
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:19,360
against or for, okay, whether it's marriage or life or this issue or that we're known for the

127
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,560
fight. We're going to be known by our victories. So in 2024, keep an eye open for victory,

128
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:28,480
significant victories that we're going to say these belong to the body of Christ. It's not

129
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:34,000
going to be a fight. It's going to be a win. We're going to get some wins in 2024. We're also

130
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,200
going to see restitution come our way because of the win. So we're not just going to restore what

131
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,000
was lost. We're going to be given the spoils of war. And for those of you that have stood

132
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,560
for revival, stood for the truth, you're going to see the spoils of war given to your,

133
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:53,280
to your personal life, to your ministry. You're going to see that. So what do we do to turn this

134
00:13:53,280 --> 00:14:01,520
into a revolution? You cannot stay silent. We must practice preach holiness and we have to

135
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:08,800
take it to the world. We need to pray for divine strategies on how to win. All right. Remember

136
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:15,280
the Lord promised to win. How do you win? How do you win souls? How do you win over your neighborhood?

137
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:21,280
How do we win over elected officials? We can't always fight. There is a season to fight against

138
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:28,000
Jezebel and then there is a season to show the promise and the power of God to Nebuchadnezzar.

139
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,560
There's a, there's a time when you need to be a Nehemiah and have enough favor with the King

140
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,960
that you can rebuild the wall and then you got to be Elijah and rebuke the King and the Queen

141
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:43,120
when you need to. This is a season I feel, okay, we've stood against tyranny. We've stood against

142
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,720
Jezebel's. We've stood against these spirits, but we need some favor. We need some favor.

143
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,920
And so we need to be praying for those divine strategies on how to expand the kingdom and see

144
00:14:53,920 --> 00:15:00,800
revolution lead to this victory that I believe is ours in 2024. Amen. Amen. Brother, that's a

145
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:06,240
powerful word with action to back it up too. So thank you so much for taking the time to share

146
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:12,080
with us at Charisma News. What God is speaking to you about 2024 and what we can do about it.

147
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:19,360
Thank you, John.
