Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,800
The ministry of Mario Murillo has been marked by miracles and signs and wonders all the way back to the Jesus movement of the 1970s.
2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:25,320
After a long and fruitful ministry, his ministry exploded on the national scene during the COVID lockdowns when he held tent revivals in California that were attended by thousands, including those who travel from all over the country.
3
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:36,320
The crowds were not justifying the COVID era mandates not to meet for religious services. There was a spiritual stirring, a longing for something supernatural.
4
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:51,640
And while many ministries pulled back during COVID and were timid in the face of cancel culture, Mario Murillo saw his ministry explode and has continued to grow after COVID and even now the ministries continue.
5
00:00:51,640 --> 00:01:11,080
Mario has been a guest on my podcast many times and I invited him back to talk about these verifiable miracles that he's seeing and how that relates to what God is saying to this generation and how it affects your own life, especially if you're believing for your own miracle.
6
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Stay tuned for my interview with evangelist Mario Murillo.
7
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:34,040
Mario, first of all, thank you for fitting this interview in. I want to talk to you today about the miracles, which I've been covering for many years.
8
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:41,680
There are many who don't believe in miracles. There's some people in the church who say they believe in miracles, but they never see any.
9
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,200
And of course, there are some charlatans in some circles who actually fake miracles.
10
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:56,720
I want you to tell me what you see happening in your tent meetings with these verifiable miracles that you're seeing.
11
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Well, first of all, what a joy to be back with you, my brother. And I always love our times together to speak honestly, forthrightly.
12
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,720
Yes, you are correct. In our tent, there are physical miracles happening.
13
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,720
And I want to tell you that the work of the Holy Spirit is in the earth in a mighty way, has never changed.
14
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:31,720
You and I have had a very unique opportunity to watch the years and decades of the move of God in America.
15
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:39,720
What we're watching now is startling healings that happened even in non-Christians under the tent.
16
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:48,720
In fact, I believe we're going to have an example of one later on in the show, a young lady that was practically a death's door
17
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,720
that was studying Buddhism, New Age, trying to find truth, trying to find an answer.
18
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,720
And she was dramatically healed. These miracles are coming because the Bible is being preached.
19
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:07,720
I truly believe that there are two dynamics that are releasing these healings.
20
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,720
One is the faithful preaching of the cross and what Christ died to give us, the atonement.
21
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:26,720
And the second is the absolute surrender to the Holy Spirit as a real person who is in operation and in charge of the event.
22
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,720
Well, we have a clip of that miracle that happened.
23
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,720
It's actually a part of a documentary that's going to come out as a movie in not too long.
24
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,720
So let's watch it. And then I'm going to ask you to explain what we just saw.
25
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:50,720
This thing that's been growing inside of you is dying by the power of God.
26
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,720
She just started getting weaker and weaker. And the next thing you know, I mean, she's in bed for years and it feels like her whole life's passing her by.
27
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Like all dreams stopped. Any capacity to be able to take care of myself stopped. I would crawl to the bathroom sometimes.
28
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,720
It was hard to witness her physical condition just decline daily.
29
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,720
When I looked at her, I was gripped by what was happening to her.
30
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:27,720
I am on the floor and I'm shrieking. I'm feeling this thing as illness, as a substance, more real than my skin in that moment.
31
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,720
I'm feeling it coming out of my body in waves.
32
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,720
The love that came into my body was so strong that the illness couldn't exist there anymore. Like it had to get out.
33
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,720
It's a miracle.
34
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,720
And God said that I want you to get a tent and you'll see miracles.
35
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Wow, that's incredible. Mario, explain what we just saw and also tell us the back story behind it.
36
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Yeah, I think the back story is very powerful. She is a young woman that through a toxic shock condition that affected her immune system, her intestines, her body began to consume itself.
37
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:31,720
She is a young lady that is five foot ten and went to down to ninety four pounds. And when she was at the tent, they wheeled her in and something came over her, Steve, that she couldn't take it anymore.
38
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:39,720
And she forced her way to the front, poured herself out of this wheelchair onto the ground and began shrieking.
39
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,720
And it was the power of God removing this hideous disease from her body.
40
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,720
And she got up, she stood up, she could walk.
41
00:05:49,720 --> 00:06:03,720
This thing was so completely consuming her body that her motor skills were affected, her balance, her her her ability to even have any kind of energy at all.
42
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:12,720
And when that miracle happened, it was so violent, so complete, and it is so amazing that we caught it on film.
43
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,720
And you saw the before and after within a few weeks. She had regained 30 pounds of her weight.
44
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,720
She was back to her normal weight, completely healed on fire for God.
45
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:31,720
And she was converted to Christ right at that same moment. She's being healed and saved in the same moment.
46
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,720
Well, that's incredible. And I've seen that clip a couple of times.
47
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:48,720
And how I'll admit that I almost had to remind myself that the same lady who was giving the testimony was the one that we saw on the ground shrieking just because she had changed so much.
48
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,720
Why do you think that you see so many miracles in your ministry?
49
00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:09,720
And what was your motivation behind doing this documentary? Because Mario, there are many people who just totally discount miracles or to think that there's some kind of fraud or that miracles are not for today.
50
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Well, I truly believe that Psalm 40 verse 10 really burns in my spirit. It says, I have not withheld your mighty acts from the great congregation.
51
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:29,720
We have an obligation and a verse in the New Testament says, providing all things honest between before God and man.
52
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,720
The essential truth of the matter is, is that if God is healing, we need to know and we need to see it.
53
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:50,720
We need to investigate it. And my feeling was, is that I am influenced as I know you are by Miss Kuhlman, Catherine Kuhlman, and anyone watching that doesn't know that name is indeed
54
00:07:50,720 --> 00:08:00,720
deprived of a very wonderful truth. She was a remarkable person because she brought the medical community.
55
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Often in her meetings, there would be dozens of surgeons, doctors, nurses filling the front rows because they knew that something real was happening.
56
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:22,720
And rather than being antagonistic toward healing, many of these medical professionals were relieved to know that these things were happening.
57
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:30,720
And, you know, Johns Hopkins University instituted in their medical school at the end under the era of Miss Kuhlman.
58
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:38,720
I'm not going to say she did it, but it sure is a major coincidence that while she was traveling across the United States,
59
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:45,720
that Johns Hopkins University instituted a class on laying on of hands for doctors.
60
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:55,720
So now what we have, unfortunately, is a hostile spirit that has gotten into the medical community.
61
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,720
And it's happened since the lockdown, since the mask and the vaccination.
62
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,720
There is a spirit. And so I have a challenge that Catherine didn't have.
63
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,720
There is more overt hostility toward the miraculous.
64
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:19,720
So it is an act of courage on our part to produce a documentary.
65
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:30,720
It's going to be called I Am Living Proof. And we're working to put it in the theaters, maybe as many as 800 theaters in which you will see not just a documentary.
66
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:37,720
It's not a cold, dry story. These are three people that have all been undeniably healed by the power of God.
67
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:45,720
I am a small part of that feature, by the way. Their stories are very compelling and they're done with excellence.
68
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,720
And sometimes it's a separate story to tell how that film came about.
69
00:09:50,720 --> 00:10:00,720
But to answer your question directly, God is healing today and it's not just important to prove it's real.
70
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,720
We also need to expose the frauds. And that's what Paul did.
71
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:12,720
You see, there's this unspoken rule that we're supposed to be nice and be sweet. Paul never agreed with that.
72
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:19,720
You know, he believed and he told the Ephesian elders, say, when I leave, wolves are coming and they're not going to spare the sheep.
73
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720
Well, he's relying on an emotion.
74
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:31,720
There is no deeper emotion than what a shepherd in the wild has about wolves appearing to destroy their sheep.
75
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,720
And that's the way ministers need to be. We need to stand for truth.
76
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,720
And at this moment, it's coming at us from two directions.
77
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,720
And I'm going to stop my answer because I'm going too long here.
78
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:51,720
Number one is the skeptical world, the secular world, which is really very biased against it.
79
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,720
And secondly, a segment in the body of Christ that believes these miracles have stopped.
80
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:05,720
And what a strange confederation that is to be a part of helping the world deny that miracles are real today.
81
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,720
And it is very strange, but we are going to meet them both head on.
82
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,720
And we believe God has led us to do it.
83
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Well, you've always been strong to speak up for truth, going all the way back to Resurrection City at Berkeley back in the 70s.
84
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,720
And more recently, you've commented about false prophecies.
85
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,720
In fact, you and I have done a couple of podcasts on that.
86
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:38,720
Yes. But I want to talk to you about this bias, mainly in the media, not just the medical profession, but the media against miracles.
87
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:47,720
And there is an example in the Bible in Acts chapter four that I want to ask you about because it's a very famous, very public miracle that happens.
88
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,720
So expound on that, please.
89
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:58,720
OK, real quickly, you need to understand that the anti-miracle spirit has been in the earth since the beginning.
90
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
And why would that be?
91
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,720
First of all, you got to ask yourself, and this is addressing what you've said about Acts chapter four directly.
92
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Satan hates miracles because they are confirming signs that cause people to be healed.
93
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:27,720
The man at the gate, beautiful, for example, had as many people converted by his testimony as were converted on the day of Pentecost, even though it's only one chapter apart.
94
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,720
Think about that.
95
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:35,720
And it says that when Lazarus was raised from the dead, many believed because of him.
96
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,720
So miracles are a vital aspect of the gospel.
97
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:46,720
David Wilkerson said the gospel is not fully preached without miracles.
98
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,720
And that is exactly right.
99
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,720
So, therefore, in Acts chapter four, you need to see the bias of the media in the book of Acts.
100
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,720
These men saw that the man was healed.
101
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,720
And in the fourth chapter, they say, what are we going to do with these men?
102
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Because indeed, a notable miracle, that's what they called it, a notable miracle has happened and it is known to all the people and we cannot deny it.
103
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,720
So when a healing becomes undeniable, the media is still going to reject it.
104
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,720
And so imagine that sentence.
105
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,720
I'm going to repeat it so that everyone will think about this.
106
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Indeed, a notable miracle has happened and all the people know it and we cannot deny it.
107
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:51,720
Therefore, now imagine anyone else, any human being in the world that would say, wow, somebody was just healed and it's medically verified.
108
00:13:51,720 --> 00:14:01,720
The next statement they would make would be, let's all open our hearts and spread the news that these healings are real.
109
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:12,720
Their reaction was this, therefore, that it spread no further, meaning we know it's real, but we don't want it to spread any further.
110
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,720
And that's because of the loss of power and the loss of money.
111
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,720
That is the spirit of the age we're living in.
112
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Truth does not matter to the elite forces that are woke in America.
113
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,720
Truth doesn't matter.
114
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Facts don't matter.
115
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,720
And what the only thing that matters is, is it a threat to our agenda?
116
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:41,720
They could literally see a miracle that's undeniable and still fight it and still deny it.
117
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:51,720
That's why we who preach have got to understand I'm not really here to take that media individual and try to convert them.
118
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,720
There are millions out there that are suffering that come to our tent.
119
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720
They sit in the tent.
120
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,720
They have cancer.
121
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,720
They have diabetes.
122
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,720
They have children who are sick.
123
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,720
And they are looking at Christ.
124
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:16,720
And we cannot allow the anger, the viciousness, and the undeniable evil of this elite ruling group to stop us.
125
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,720
And I refuse to do it.
126
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:30,720
And I think that's why God has honored us and given us not only crowds that are coming from everywhere, but an amazing demonstration of the power of God.
127
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:37,720
You know, I want to talk to you about what's going on in the culture because your ministry for many years has spanned.
128
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:44,720
And you've seen a lot of things from the riots in the 60s and 70s and the various scandals that have happened over the years
129
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,720
and the culture becoming more and more woke, as you just referred to.
130
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:55,720
Now you have a huge platform, not only in your tents, but on the Victory Channel and doing media like this.
131
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:05,720
And so my question is, Mario, what do you think the Lord is saying during this period that will help our viewers and listeners?
132
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:12,720
You know, I'm actually writing a blog is what is the right thing to say to America right now?
133
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:26,720
And I'm going to tell you that there was a man who reacted to bad news so violently that nobody in history ever reacted to bad news like any more than this man.
134
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,720
It drove him to his knees and he began to cry out and he saved a nation.
135
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,720
That is what we need.
136
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,720
And who is that person? It was Ezra.
137
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:46,720
In the ninth chapter of the Book of Ezra, one man's voice was so piercing, so compelling, so irresistible,
138
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:59,720
so paralyzingly poignant and plaintive that the men around him and the people in the audience began to cry.
139
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,720
America needs that right now desperately.
140
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:17,720
America needs desperately for there to come a voice, voices in pulpits, in media that will stand up and literally declare the will of God.
141
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:27,720
You remember when Hillary Clinton called the Trump supporters a basket of deplorables?
142
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Well, she says that cost her the election and she's probably right.
143
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,720
But what came out of that was a rule.
144
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,720
You never condemn an entire group or anybody's base.
145
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720
And I'll explain why I'm saying this.
146
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:50,720
The reason that that's so important is that pastors no longer talk about national sin.
147
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Now, what does it say in Isaiah 58?
148
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Tell Israel her transgressions and declare her sins to her.
149
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,720
The last voice that we had like that was Billy Graham.
150
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Billy Graham would stand up and tell America, you've turned your back on God.
151
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,720
We don't hear that today.
152
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:17,720
And the reason we don't, Stephen, is because there is this misguided belief that we're supposed to be nice about certain things.
153
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:24,720
I think it's kind of a surprise when people walk into the tent and we deal with sin head on.
154
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,720
We deal with perversion head on.
155
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:35,720
We give biblical imperatives about morals and family and God and hell.
156
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,720
But all that does is amplify the power of the Holy Spirit.
157
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,720
So what America needs to hear today is this.
158
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,720
There's a message for the church.
159
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720
There's a message for the nation.
160
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:56,720
The message to the church is quit copying out by saying that all of these problems of America are in God's hands.
161
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,720
God has set up a system to use prayer to save nations.
162
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,720
He looks for people.
163
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,720
He has put upon himself restraints to work through people.
164
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,720
And anybody that believes we're just going to come out of this, we can turn our back on Israel.
165
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:24,720
We can honor perversion and leave marriage behind and think there's no consequence and open our borders and all of that.
166
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,720
Then there's the other side.
167
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,720
The world needs to know that they are lost.
168
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:38,720
There needs to be preaching that stands up and says, America, you have got to repent because you are under judgment.
169
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,720
You know what John Calvin said?
170
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,720
When God judges a nation, he judges them by giving them wicked rulers.
171
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,720
We're under a wicked ruler because judgment has already begun.
172
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,720
It's already here.
173
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:04,720
And we think that there's some inherent insulation against destruction that America can't be destroyed because there's something unique about us.
174
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,720
That is absolutely false security.
175
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:16,720
That's why the message of this hour is church, wake up because you have a role in saving this nation that no one else has.
176
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Number two, if you think you're a nobody, you better stop and listen.
177
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:30,720
God is raising up no name people looking for a way to use them in an extraordinary manner in a dark time.
178
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,720
And the other message is America.
179
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,720
You are racing toward destruction.
180
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,720
You are racing toward destructions and you need to repent.
181
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:49,720
And so these prophets that you mentioned that I called out, why aren't they speaking to national sin?
182
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,720
They're making predictions about things that don't even matter.
183
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720
And they're missing all of the predictions that do matter.
184
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,720
None of them saw the invasion of Israel by Hamas.
185
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,720
None of them spoke to what was going to happen to Trump and the prosecution in New York.
186
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,720
All of them missed all of the anything that truly affects us.
187
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720
These prophets are missing it.
188
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,720
But the things that do affect us in the word of God are being overlooked.
189
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:28,720
And men and women of God have got to get back and have a private garden of Gethsemane to say to God, what do you want me to preach in this hour?
190
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Because the nation is on the brink and this is no time to play.
191
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,720
Well, Mario, I believe that you're one of the voices that the Lord is raising up.
192
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,720
And what you say is very serious and I believe it's true.
193
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,720
But also you recently published a book that I found hopeful.
194
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,720
The title of it is called It's Our Turn Now.
195
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,720
And it's published by Charisma.
196
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Why did you write that book and how do you believe that the message is so relevant now?
197
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:07,720
I believe that two years ago when that message hit me, It's Our Turn Now, which is a book I'd really highly recommend.
198
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720
And I thank you for publishing it.
199
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,720
That book says what's going on now.
200
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,720
It said it two years ago.
201
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,720
It's precisely where we are right now.
202
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,720
And I'm going to explain where we are.
203
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,720
This may be the last Pride Month.
204
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:25,720
This one right here.
205
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,720
It may be the last one.
206
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Already 10 NFL teams have refused to recognize it.
207
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,720
Major corporations that sponsored it last year aren't.
208
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,720
I was in preaching in California on June the 1st.
209
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,720
There was not a pride flag that I could find anywhere.
210
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,720
So there's something going on and people are sick of it.
211
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:54,720
What I found is that woke has made people vulnerable to Christ.
212
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,720
And there's a massive harvest.
213
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:04,720
We're going to tell you that in our meetings for every five people that come forward to receive Christ, we only have one worker.
214
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,720
And we try to have hundreds of workers.
215
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,720
But people want God on a scale I have not seen since the Jesus movement.
216
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,720
But the book is not simply about how many people want God today.
217
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:26,720
It's about the most awesome and in some ways sobering reality.
218
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,720
The church now has its turn.
219
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,720
It's our turn to influence the culture.
220
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,720
Woke is fading out.
221
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,720
A vacuum is being left.
222
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,720
This is a perfect opportunity.
223
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,720
And there's another movement rising up, Steve, that I think is really key.
224
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,720
Churches are moving away from entertainment based Sunday morning worship.
225
00:23:50,720 --> 00:24:01,720
They're getting back to the narratives and the organic Christian values that cause the Holy Spirit to work.
226
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,720
Because people now are finding the right reason to go to church.
227
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,720
We've appealed to the very wrong reasons to go to church.
228
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,720
Now there's a right reasons.
229
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,720
I want to know God.
230
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,720
I don't want to feel good.
231
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,720
I want to become good.
232
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,720
And it's a deeper yearning for the presence and the word of God, presence of God, the word of God.
233
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:35,720
So our obligation, and that's what this book outlines, it's it's a manual to help you grasp this hour that we're in.
234
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,720
And it's not going to stay.
235
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,720
It's going to pass.
236
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,720
So we got to act now.
237
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,720
I think that's so important.
238
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:52,720
And as we wrap up this short podcast, I want to ask you how is what you're saying relate to the viewer or listener who maybe needs a miracle?
239
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Maybe they're believing God for a miracle, but they've never had it.
240
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:07,720
So what would you say to them? And then also, I'm going to ask you as we end the podcast to pray for those who are watching.
241
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,720
Well, it's a privilege to answer that question and to be allowed to pray for this audience.
242
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,720
If you are seeking healing, I want to cut through all the noise.
243
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:23,720
I'm going to try to take a very deep subject and say in a few moments what you need to do.
244
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,720
Healing comes out of mercy.
245
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,720
God wants to heal you.
246
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,720
And one of the most powerful healing verses is in Romans eight, verse thirty two.
247
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:43,720
He who spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all.
248
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,720
How shall he not, along with him also, freely give us all things?
249
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,720
God has already given you the ultimate gift of salvation.
250
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,720
There's no greater gift.
251
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,720
He can't give you anything more than his name.
252
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,720
And he's done that.
253
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:06,720
That's why healing is very, very doable and very much to be expected.
254
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,720
I'm not going to stand here and answer why everybody isn't healed.
255
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,720
I'm going to rather use the time wisely to tell you God wants to heal you.
256
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,720
And you come to him in mercy.
257
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:28,720
And in a powerful moment, there's this thing that where God imparts faith is something Miss Kuhlman taught so vividly.
258
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,720
You wait and Christ is the author and finisher of faith.
259
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,720
He puts faith in you.
260
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,720
And Peter even said this in Acts three when they asked him how the man was healed.
261
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,720
He said through faith in Acts three, sixteen.
262
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,720
And through faith, this man stands before you whole.
263
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,720
Yes, the faith that comes through him has made him whole.
264
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,720
The faith will come through him to you to receive your healing.
265
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,720
But it's mercy.
266
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:08,720
And when you come humbly and broken, the Bible says he will withhold no good thing from them that walk uprightly.
267
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,720
And the heart of God is toward you in your illness right now.
268
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,720
He is for you to receive.
269
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,720
And now will you pray for the viewers?
270
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,720
Father, I thank you that there are so many watching right now that love America.
271
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,720
They love this country.
272
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Lord, wake them up and show them that they are not bystanders, but that they could be equipped by the Spirit of God to do a miracle for this nation.
273
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:53,720
And secondly, Lord, you know, every individual who is tuned in right now that needs a healing, and I'm going to ask you to give them a miracle, a mighty supernatural healing.
274
00:27:53,720 --> 00:28:04,720
Let the record of multiple miracles around the world, those reports, Lord, let them come in as a result of this podcast.
275
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,720
And we give all the glory to Jesus Christ and no one else.
276
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Amen.
277
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,720
Thank you for watching.
278
00:28:42,720 --> 00:29:10,720
And God bless you.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,800
The ministry of Mario Murillo has been marked by miracles and signs and wonders all the way back to the Jesus movement of the 1970s.
2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:25,320
After a long and fruitful ministry, his ministry exploded on the national scene during the COVID lockdowns when he held tent revivals in California that were attended by thousands, including those who travel from all over the country.
3
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:36,320
The crowds were not justifying the COVID era mandates not to meet for religious services. There was a spiritual stirring, a longing for something supernatural.
4
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:51,640
And while many ministries pulled back during COVID and were timid in the face of cancel culture, Mario Murillo saw his ministry explode and has continued to grow after COVID and even now the ministries continue.
5
00:00:51,640 --> 00:01:11,080
Mario has been a guest on my podcast many times and I invited him back to talk about these verifiable miracles that he's seeing and how that relates to what God is saying to this generation and how it affects your own life, especially if you're believing for your own miracle.
6
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Stay tuned for my interview with evangelist Mario Murillo.
7
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:34,040
Mario, first of all, thank you for fitting this interview in. I want to talk to you today about the miracles, which I've been covering for many years.
8
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:41,680
There are many who don't believe in miracles. There's some people in the church who say they believe in miracles, but they never see any.
9
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,200
And of course, there are some charlatans in some circles who actually fake miracles.
10
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:56,720
I want you to tell me what you see happening in your tent meetings with these verifiable miracles that you're seeing.
11
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Well, first of all, what a joy to be back with you, my brother. And I always love our times together to speak honestly, forthrightly.
12
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,720
Yes, you are correct. In our tent, there are physical miracles happening.
13
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,720
And I want to tell you that the work of the Holy Spirit is in the earth in a mighty way, has never changed.
14
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:31,720
You and I have had a very unique opportunity to watch the years and decades of the move of God in America.
15
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:39,720
What we're watching now is startling healings that happened even in non-Christians under the tent.
16
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:48,720
In fact, I believe we're going to have an example of one later on in the show, a young lady that was practically a death's door
17
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,720
that was studying Buddhism, New Age, trying to find truth, trying to find an answer.
18
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,720
And she was dramatically healed. These miracles are coming because the Bible is being preached.
19
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:07,720
I truly believe that there are two dynamics that are releasing these healings.
20
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,720
One is the faithful preaching of the cross and what Christ died to give us, the atonement.
21
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:26,720
And the second is the absolute surrender to the Holy Spirit as a real person who is in operation and in charge of the event.
22
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,720
Well, we have a clip of that miracle that happened.
23
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,720
It's actually a part of a documentary that's going to come out as a movie in not too long.
24
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,720
So let's watch it. And then I'm going to ask you to explain what we just saw.
25
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:50,720
This thing that's been growing inside of you is dying by the power of God.
26
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,720
She just started getting weaker and weaker. And the next thing you know, I mean, she's in bed for years and it feels like her whole life's passing her by.
27
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Like all dreams stopped. Any capacity to be able to take care of myself stopped. I would crawl to the bathroom sometimes.
28
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:13,720
It was hard to witness her physical condition just decline daily.
29
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,720
When I looked at her, I was gripped by what was happening to her.
30
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:27,720
I am on the floor and I'm shrieking. I'm feeling this thing as illness, as a substance, more real than my skin in that moment.
31
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,720
I'm feeling it coming out of my body in waves.
32
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:37,720
The love that came into my body was so strong that the illness couldn't exist there anymore. Like it had to get out.
33
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,720
It's a miracle.
34
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,720
And God said that I want you to get a tent and you'll see miracles.
35
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,720
Wow, that's incredible. Mario, explain what we just saw and also tell us the back story behind it.
36
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Yeah, I think the back story is very powerful. She is a young woman that through a toxic shock condition that affected her immune system, her intestines, her body began to consume itself.
37
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:31,720
She is a young lady that is five foot ten and went to down to ninety four pounds. And when she was at the tent, they wheeled her in and something came over her, Steve, that she couldn't take it anymore.
38
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:39,720
And she forced her way to the front, poured herself out of this wheelchair onto the ground and began shrieking.
39
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,720
And it was the power of God removing this hideous disease from her body.
40
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,720
And she got up, she stood up, she could walk.
41
00:05:49,720 --> 00:06:03,720
This thing was so completely consuming her body that her motor skills were affected, her balance, her her her ability to even have any kind of energy at all.
42
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:12,720
And when that miracle happened, it was so violent, so complete, and it is so amazing that we caught it on film.
43
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,720
And you saw the before and after within a few weeks. She had regained 30 pounds of her weight.
44
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,720
She was back to her normal weight, completely healed on fire for God.
45
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:31,720
And she was converted to Christ right at that same moment. She's being healed and saved in the same moment.
46
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,720
Well, that's incredible. And I've seen that clip a couple of times.
47
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:48,720
And how I'll admit that I almost had to remind myself that the same lady who was giving the testimony was the one that we saw on the ground shrieking just because she had changed so much.
48
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,720
Why do you think that you see so many miracles in your ministry?
49
00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:09,720
And what was your motivation behind doing this documentary? Because Mario, there are many people who just totally discount miracles or to think that there's some kind of fraud or that miracles are not for today.
50
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Well, I truly believe that Psalm 40 verse 10 really burns in my spirit. It says, I have not withheld your mighty acts from the great congregation.
51
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:29,720
We have an obligation and a verse in the New Testament says, providing all things honest between before God and man.
52
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,720
The essential truth of the matter is, is that if God is healing, we need to know and we need to see it.
53
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:50,720
We need to investigate it. And my feeling was, is that I am influenced as I know you are by Miss Kuhlman, Catherine Kuhlman, and anyone watching that doesn't know that name is indeed
54
00:07:50,720 --> 00:08:00,720
deprived of a very wonderful truth. She was a remarkable person because she brought the medical community.
55
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Often in her meetings, there would be dozens of surgeons, doctors, nurses filling the front rows because they knew that something real was happening.
56
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:22,720
And rather than being antagonistic toward healing, many of these medical professionals were relieved to know that these things were happening.
57
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:30,720
And, you know, Johns Hopkins University instituted in their medical school at the end under the era of Miss Kuhlman.
58
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:38,720
I'm not going to say she did it, but it sure is a major coincidence that while she was traveling across the United States,
59
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:45,720
that Johns Hopkins University instituted a class on laying on of hands for doctors.
60
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:55,720
So now what we have, unfortunately, is a hostile spirit that has gotten into the medical community.
61
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,720
And it's happened since the lockdown, since the mask and the vaccination.
62
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,720
There is a spirit. And so I have a challenge that Catherine didn't have.
63
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,720
There is more overt hostility toward the miraculous.
64
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:19,720
So it is an act of courage on our part to produce a documentary.
65
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:30,720
It's going to be called I Am Living Proof. And we're working to put it in the theaters, maybe as many as 800 theaters in which you will see not just a documentary.
66
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:37,720
It's not a cold, dry story. These are three people that have all been undeniably healed by the power of God.
67
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:45,720
I am a small part of that feature, by the way. Their stories are very compelling and they're done with excellence.
68
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,720
And sometimes it's a separate story to tell how that film came about.
69
00:09:50,720 --> 00:10:00,720
But to answer your question directly, God is healing today and it's not just important to prove it's real.
70
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,720
We also need to expose the frauds. And that's what Paul did.
71
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:12,720
You see, there's this unspoken rule that we're supposed to be nice and be sweet. Paul never agreed with that.
72
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:19,720
You know, he believed and he told the Ephesian elders, say, when I leave, wolves are coming and they're not going to spare the sheep.
73
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720
Well, he's relying on an emotion.
74
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:31,720
There is no deeper emotion than what a shepherd in the wild has about wolves appearing to destroy their sheep.
75
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,720
And that's the way ministers need to be. We need to stand for truth.
76
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,720
And at this moment, it's coming at us from two directions.
77
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,720
And I'm going to stop my answer because I'm going too long here.
78
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:51,720
Number one is the skeptical world, the secular world, which is really very biased against it.
79
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,720
And secondly, a segment in the body of Christ that believes these miracles have stopped.
80
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:05,720
And what a strange confederation that is to be a part of helping the world deny that miracles are real today.
81
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,720
And it is very strange, but we are going to meet them both head on.
82
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,720
And we believe God has led us to do it.
83
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Well, you've always been strong to speak up for truth, going all the way back to Resurrection City at Berkeley back in the 70s.
84
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,720
And more recently, you've commented about false prophecies.
85
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,720
In fact, you and I have done a couple of podcasts on that.
86
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:38,720
Yes. But I want to talk to you about this bias, mainly in the media, not just the medical profession, but the media against miracles.
87
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:47,720
And there is an example in the Bible in Acts chapter four that I want to ask you about because it's a very famous, very public miracle that happens.
88
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,720
So expound on that, please.
89
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:58,720
OK, real quickly, you need to understand that the anti-miracle spirit has been in the earth since the beginning.
90
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
And why would that be?
91
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,720
First of all, you got to ask yourself, and this is addressing what you've said about Acts chapter four directly.
92
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Satan hates miracles because they are confirming signs that cause people to be healed.
93
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:27,720
The man at the gate, beautiful, for example, had as many people converted by his testimony as were converted on the day of Pentecost, even though it's only one chapter apart.
94
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,720
Think about that.
95
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:35,720
And it says that when Lazarus was raised from the dead, many believed because of him.
96
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,720
So miracles are a vital aspect of the gospel.
97
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:46,720
David Wilkerson said the gospel is not fully preached without miracles.
98
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,720
And that is exactly right.
99
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,720
So, therefore, in Acts chapter four, you need to see the bias of the media in the book of Acts.
100
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,720
These men saw that the man was healed.
101
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,720
And in the fourth chapter, they say, what are we going to do with these men?
102
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Because indeed, a notable miracle, that's what they called it, a notable miracle has happened and it is known to all the people and we cannot deny it.
103
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,720
So when a healing becomes undeniable, the media is still going to reject it.
104
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,720
And so imagine that sentence.
105
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,720
I'm going to repeat it so that everyone will think about this.
106
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:40,720
Indeed, a notable miracle has happened and all the people know it and we cannot deny it.
107
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:51,720
Therefore, now imagine anyone else, any human being in the world that would say, wow, somebody was just healed and it's medically verified.
108
00:13:51,720 --> 00:14:01,720
The next statement they would make would be, let's all open our hearts and spread the news that these healings are real.
109
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:12,720
Their reaction was this, therefore, that it spread no further, meaning we know it's real, but we don't want it to spread any further.
110
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,720
And that's because of the loss of power and the loss of money.
111
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,720
That is the spirit of the age we're living in.
112
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Truth does not matter to the elite forces that are woke in America.
113
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,720
Truth doesn't matter.
114
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Facts don't matter.
115
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,720
And what the only thing that matters is, is it a threat to our agenda?
116
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:41,720
They could literally see a miracle that's undeniable and still fight it and still deny it.
117
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:51,720
That's why we who preach have got to understand I'm not really here to take that media individual and try to convert them.
118
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,720
There are millions out there that are suffering that come to our tent.
119
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720
They sit in the tent.
120
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,720
They have cancer.
121
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,720
They have diabetes.
122
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,720
They have children who are sick.
123
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,720
And they are looking at Christ.
124
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:16,720
And we cannot allow the anger, the viciousness, and the undeniable evil of this elite ruling group to stop us.
125
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,720
And I refuse to do it.
126
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:30,720
And I think that's why God has honored us and given us not only crowds that are coming from everywhere, but an amazing demonstration of the power of God.
127
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:37,720
You know, I want to talk to you about what's going on in the culture because your ministry for many years has spanned.
128
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:44,720
And you've seen a lot of things from the riots in the 60s and 70s and the various scandals that have happened over the years
129
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,720
and the culture becoming more and more woke, as you just referred to.
130
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:55,720
Now you have a huge platform, not only in your tents, but on the Victory Channel and doing media like this.
131
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:05,720
And so my question is, Mario, what do you think the Lord is saying during this period that will help our viewers and listeners?
132
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:12,720
You know, I'm actually writing a blog is what is the right thing to say to America right now?
133
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:26,720
And I'm going to tell you that there was a man who reacted to bad news so violently that nobody in history ever reacted to bad news like any more than this man.
134
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,720
It drove him to his knees and he began to cry out and he saved a nation.
135
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,720
That is what we need.
136
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,720
And who is that person? It was Ezra.
137
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:46,720
In the ninth chapter of the Book of Ezra, one man's voice was so piercing, so compelling, so irresistible,
138
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:59,720
so paralyzingly poignant and plaintive that the men around him and the people in the audience began to cry.
139
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,720
America needs that right now desperately.
140
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:17,720
America needs desperately for there to come a voice, voices in pulpits, in media that will stand up and literally declare the will of God.
141
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:27,720
You remember when Hillary Clinton called the Trump supporters a basket of deplorables?
142
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Well, she says that cost her the election and she's probably right.
143
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,720
But what came out of that was a rule.
144
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,720
You never condemn an entire group or anybody's base.
145
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720
And I'll explain why I'm saying this.
146
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:50,720
The reason that that's so important is that pastors no longer talk about national sin.
147
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Now, what does it say in Isaiah 58?
148
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Tell Israel her transgressions and declare her sins to her.
149
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,720
The last voice that we had like that was Billy Graham.
150
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Billy Graham would stand up and tell America, you've turned your back on God.
151
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,720
We don't hear that today.
152
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:17,720
And the reason we don't, Stephen, is because there is this misguided belief that we're supposed to be nice about certain things.
153
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:24,720
I think it's kind of a surprise when people walk into the tent and we deal with sin head on.
154
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,720
We deal with perversion head on.
155
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:35,720
We give biblical imperatives about morals and family and God and hell.
156
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,720
But all that does is amplify the power of the Holy Spirit.
157
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,720
So what America needs to hear today is this.
158
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,720
There's a message for the church.
159
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720
There's a message for the nation.
160
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:56,720
The message to the church is quit copying out by saying that all of these problems of America are in God's hands.
161
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,720
God has set up a system to use prayer to save nations.
162
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,720
He looks for people.
163
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,720
He has put upon himself restraints to work through people.
164
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,720
And anybody that believes we're just going to come out of this, we can turn our back on Israel.
165
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:24,720
We can honor perversion and leave marriage behind and think there's no consequence and open our borders and all of that.
166
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,720
Then there's the other side.
167
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,720
The world needs to know that they are lost.
168
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:38,720
There needs to be preaching that stands up and says, America, you have got to repent because you are under judgment.
169
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,720
You know what John Calvin said?
170
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,720
When God judges a nation, he judges them by giving them wicked rulers.
171
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,720
We're under a wicked ruler because judgment has already begun.
172
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,720
It's already here.
173
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:04,720
And we think that there's some inherent insulation against destruction that America can't be destroyed because there's something unique about us.
174
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,720
That is absolutely false security.
175
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:16,720
That's why the message of this hour is church, wake up because you have a role in saving this nation that no one else has.
176
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Number two, if you think you're a nobody, you better stop and listen.
177
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:30,720
God is raising up no name people looking for a way to use them in an extraordinary manner in a dark time.
178
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,720
And the other message is America.
179
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,720
You are racing toward destruction.
180
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,720
You are racing toward destructions and you need to repent.
181
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:49,720
And so these prophets that you mentioned that I called out, why aren't they speaking to national sin?
182
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,720
They're making predictions about things that don't even matter.
183
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720
And they're missing all of the predictions that do matter.
184
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,720
None of them saw the invasion of Israel by Hamas.
185
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,720
None of them spoke to what was going to happen to Trump and the prosecution in New York.
186
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,720
All of them missed all of the anything that truly affects us.
187
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720
These prophets are missing it.
188
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,720
But the things that do affect us in the word of God are being overlooked.
189
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:28,720
And men and women of God have got to get back and have a private garden of Gethsemane to say to God, what do you want me to preach in this hour?
190
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Because the nation is on the brink and this is no time to play.
191
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,720
Well, Mario, I believe that you're one of the voices that the Lord is raising up.
192
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,720
And what you say is very serious and I believe it's true.
193
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,720
But also you recently published a book that I found hopeful.
194
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,720
The title of it is called It's Our Turn Now.
195
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,720
And it's published by Charisma.
196
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Why did you write that book and how do you believe that the message is so relevant now?
197
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:07,720
I believe that two years ago when that message hit me, It's Our Turn Now, which is a book I'd really highly recommend.
198
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,720
And I thank you for publishing it.
199
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,720
That book says what's going on now.
200
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,720
It said it two years ago.
201
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,720
It's precisely where we are right now.
202
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,720
And I'm going to explain where we are.
203
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,720
This may be the last Pride Month.
204
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:25,720
This one right here.
205
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,720
It may be the last one.
206
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Already 10 NFL teams have refused to recognize it.
207
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,720
Major corporations that sponsored it last year aren't.
208
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,720
I was in preaching in California on June the 1st.
209
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,720
There was not a pride flag that I could find anywhere.
210
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,720
So there's something going on and people are sick of it.
211
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:54,720
What I found is that woke has made people vulnerable to Christ.
212
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,720
And there's a massive harvest.
213
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:04,720
We're going to tell you that in our meetings for every five people that come forward to receive Christ, we only have one worker.
214
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,720
And we try to have hundreds of workers.
215
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,720
But people want God on a scale I have not seen since the Jesus movement.
216
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,720
But the book is not simply about how many people want God today.
217
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:26,720
It's about the most awesome and in some ways sobering reality.
218
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,720
The church now has its turn.
219
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,720
It's our turn to influence the culture.
220
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,720
Woke is fading out.
221
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,720
A vacuum is being left.
222
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,720
This is a perfect opportunity.
223
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,720
And there's another movement rising up, Steve, that I think is really key.
224
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,720
Churches are moving away from entertainment based Sunday morning worship.
225
00:23:50,720 --> 00:24:01,720
They're getting back to the narratives and the organic Christian values that cause the Holy Spirit to work.
226
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,720
Because people now are finding the right reason to go to church.
227
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,720
We've appealed to the very wrong reasons to go to church.
228
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,720
Now there's a right reasons.
229
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,720
I want to know God.
230
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,720
I don't want to feel good.
231
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,720
I want to become good.
232
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,720
And it's a deeper yearning for the presence and the word of God, presence of God, the word of God.
233
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:35,720
So our obligation, and that's what this book outlines, it's it's a manual to help you grasp this hour that we're in.
234
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,720
And it's not going to stay.
235
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,720
It's going to pass.
236
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,720
So we got to act now.
237
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,720
I think that's so important.
238
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:52,720
And as we wrap up this short podcast, I want to ask you how is what you're saying relate to the viewer or listener who maybe needs a miracle?
239
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Maybe they're believing God for a miracle, but they've never had it.
240
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:07,720
So what would you say to them? And then also, I'm going to ask you as we end the podcast to pray for those who are watching.
241
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,720
Well, it's a privilege to answer that question and to be allowed to pray for this audience.
242
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,720
If you are seeking healing, I want to cut through all the noise.
243
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:23,720
I'm going to try to take a very deep subject and say in a few moments what you need to do.
244
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,720
Healing comes out of mercy.
245
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,720
God wants to heal you.
246
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:36,720
And one of the most powerful healing verses is in Romans eight, verse thirty two.
247
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:43,720
He who spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all.
248
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,720
How shall he not, along with him also, freely give us all things?
249
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,720
God has already given you the ultimate gift of salvation.
250
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,720
There's no greater gift.
251
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,720
He can't give you anything more than his name.
252
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,720
And he's done that.
253
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:06,720
That's why healing is very, very doable and very much to be expected.
254
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,720
I'm not going to stand here and answer why everybody isn't healed.
255
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,720
I'm going to rather use the time wisely to tell you God wants to heal you.
256
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,720
And you come to him in mercy.
257
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:28,720
And in a powerful moment, there's this thing that where God imparts faith is something Miss Kuhlman taught so vividly.
258
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,720
You wait and Christ is the author and finisher of faith.
259
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,720
He puts faith in you.
260
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,720
And Peter even said this in Acts three when they asked him how the man was healed.
261
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,720
He said through faith in Acts three, sixteen.
262
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,720
And through faith, this man stands before you whole.
263
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,720
Yes, the faith that comes through him has made him whole.
264
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,720
The faith will come through him to you to receive your healing.
265
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,720
But it's mercy.
266
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:08,720
And when you come humbly and broken, the Bible says he will withhold no good thing from them that walk uprightly.
267
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,720
And the heart of God is toward you in your illness right now.
268
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,720
He is for you to receive.
269
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,720
And now will you pray for the viewers?
270
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,720
Father, I thank you that there are so many watching right now that love America.
271
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,720
They love this country.
272
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Lord, wake them up and show them that they are not bystanders, but that they could be equipped by the Spirit of God to do a miracle for this nation.
273
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:53,720
And secondly, Lord, you know, every individual who is tuned in right now that needs a healing, and I'm going to ask you to give them a miracle, a mighty supernatural healing.
274
00:27:53,720 --> 00:28:04,720
Let the record of multiple miracles around the world, those reports, Lord, let them come in as a result of this podcast.
275
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,720
And we give all the glory to Jesus Christ and no one else.
276
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Amen.
277
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,720
Thank you for watching.
278
00:28:42,720 --> 00:29:10,720
And God bless you.
