00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,800
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and welcome to this very special edition of the Strang Report.

2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:22,400
Today my guest is none other than Mario Marillo and when I have Mario on my numbers go through

3
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,000
the roof and I'm sure that's going to happen this time because we're going to talk about

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,640
miracles and supernatural events that Mario is going to tell us about.

5
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,960
So let me first of all welcome you to my podcast.

6
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,120
Thank you for working it in.

7
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,840
We had a little trouble finding a time but here we are and I'm eager to find out about

8
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,840
these miracles and especially to talk about something that I've just learned about recently

9
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:52,720
and that's a movie that's going to happen in the fall in which you deal with actual

10
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,720
miracles.

11
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Tell us about it.

12
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,480
Well, it's called Living Proof.

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:05,040
It'll be in theaters and we had three healings that were so inescapably verified and the

14
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:12,720
back stories are so compelling that we produced a film telling the story of these three people.

15
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,400
And I'm going to talk somewhat about it because I'm very excited but one of the elements

16
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:28,280
of it that I am excited about is that in instances in the film the doctors of these people that

17
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:35,960
were healed will go on record describing before and after and how the physical changes that

18
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,320
the patient went through when they were healed.

19
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:45,120
All three of these healings happened under our tent and signs and wonders have been a

20
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:52,640
part of our ministry since the very beginning in the 1970s and now we brought it to a point

21
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,240
where the undeniable notable healings, we're going to put it out there because America

22
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,680
needs hope right now and they need proof that there is a God who cares about them and that

23
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,040
the gospel is real.

24
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:14,080
Even the church is backpedaling on the deity of Christ and the inerrancy of Scripture.

25
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:22,340
I think that what we're going to do is be a voice in America to reestablish the inerrancy

26
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:23,600
of the Bible.

27
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Jesus is the Son of God and if you reach out to Him, He will heal you.

28
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,440
Well I agree with you 100% and you know what you're talking about is really a renewal that

29
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:42,160
needs to be constant because the early church which was so powerful that they overcame the

30
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:49,600
evil Roman Empire, probably the most evil empire in the history of mankind with no

31
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,360
armies, no power, no nothing.

32
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,720
They changed the world as we know it.

33
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:05,040
It devolved into the Roman Catholic Church of Martin Luther's day where he had to, and

34
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,880
he said, how do they say it in Latin?

35
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,480
I forget it, but it's only Scripture, sola, scriptura or something like that.

36
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,320
And then there were people who said all these gifts ended with the apostles.

37
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,040
We believe that the modern Pentecostal movement and Charismatic movements is the renewal of

38
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,200
the gifts which include miracles.

39
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:33,360
And people, I believe people want to believe but you know there are people who say they're

40
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,160
healed and it was really wishful thinking.

41
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,840
Or maybe they are healed but there's no real proof to satisfy the critics that something

42
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,920
happened beforehand.

43
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,720
So talk to me about these miracles and then I'll share a personal experience.

44
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Well the first thing I want to do is comment on Dr. Luke.

45
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,400
The Christian movement relied on Dr. Luke to write the book of Acts and the book of Luke

46
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,960
of course.

47
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:09,960
But the interesting thing about his role in the church history is that's what he did.

48
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,640
As a medical doctor he examined the stories.

49
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,040
He gave us a record of what God did through the church in the book of Acts.

50
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,680
We are not in any way supposing to add to Scripture.

51
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,960
I won't do that.

52
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,560
John warns us of that in the book of Revelation.

53
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,440
But what we can do is extend the ministry of Christ in the modern era and verify its

54
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,320
existence to do it with discipline and balance and integrity.

55
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,920
And that's what I feel is important because I'll tell you there are two enemies of the

56
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,440
miraculous.

57
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:56,520
The first is the atheist skeptic on the one hand and the other is the false minister on

58
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,640
the other hand.

59
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,520
And I've often told people that the false preacher is the only true atheist because

60
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:11,200
he's the only individual that's acting fully as if God did not exist because they're stealing

61
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,320
money leading a double life, lying about the gospel.

62
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:21,120
They couldn't do that and sleep at night unless they were convinced there was no God.

63
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:30,560
So the miracles that we are seeing are happening on hearts, bodies, nerves, growths, people

64
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,480
that have been hopelessly ill that have been healed by the power of God.

65
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:43,880
In some instances, Steve, they've been healed watching and were miles away.

66
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,320
I'm going to tell you one story.

67
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,960
It happened in Rockland, which is outside of Sacramento.

68
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,720
Her name is Grace.

69
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:58,280
Grace was watching our tent crusade from an assembly of God church in Lincoln, California.

70
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:01,360
Now I want to listen to this.

71
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,520
She didn't come to the meeting because she was in too much pain.

72
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,280
This is her story.

73
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,520
Her hands were in excruciating pain.

74
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:17,120
Well, she's watching on TV because she found out that locally one of the churches was

75
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,160
going to televise and use a stream from the event.

76
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,440
So I point out at the audience thinking that the individual I'm describing is in the audience.

77
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,880
And I said, there is a woman with excruciating pain in her hands and she's being healed right

78
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,040
now.

79
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,880
She was in a room with 50 other people and she started screaming.

80
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,560
And she said, it's me.

81
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:46,960
And everyone in that audience was absolutely electrified at the power of God for which

82
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,640
we give all the glory to Christ.

83
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,400
These signs and indications of God's power, Grace is one example of that.

84
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:04,080
But in the tent itself, people have been healed, have left, found out later that their symptoms

85
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,400
had vanished, went to their doctor.

86
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,520
Doctors found out that growths were no longer in their body.

87
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,920
These things are happening and the good news is they're happening now.

88
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:26,000
The bad news is why they're happening now, Steve, because America is literally on the

89
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
line.

90
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:35,600
The survival of this nation is down to a moment where we can feel it without a miracle, without

91
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,240
an intervention in our culture.

92
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,080
We're going to lose our freedom.

93
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:47,440
And I think that just as the devil knows his time is short and he's in a rage, God also

94
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:53,480
knows that America's time is short and he is releasing power.

95
00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:00,360
And why I want to counsel any minister, any preacher that's watching us today, let the

96
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,120
spirit of God move in your Sunday morning service.

97
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Get rid of this hermetically sealed, pre-programmed, packaged Sunday service and open the door

98
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,880
for the spirit of God to move.

99
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,520
God will give you miracles and miracles.

100
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:24,920
The news of them will go through a neighborhood like no other social media possibly can and

101
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,000
people will come to God.

102
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760
And I'd love to say it's a glorious moment.

103
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,200
Yeah, we're watching the glory.

104
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,400
But it's because the hour is so late and the nation is in desperate trouble.

105
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,720
Well, I agree with you, of course.

106
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:47,680
And I want to hear more about these miracles, but let's first of all talk about living proof,

107
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,240
which is a movie being made.

108
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,720
And here's a little trailer that people can expect.

109
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:03,520
And then we'll be back to talk about it.

110
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:12,600
This thing that's been growing inside of you is dying by the power of God.

111
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,600
And all of a sudden, God said, that was for you.

112
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,720
And I want you to get a tent and you'll see miracles.

113
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,720
That was like this tent thing.

114
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,720
What is this?

115
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,800
No, this is not for me.

116
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,800
This is all fake.

117
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,680
I'm not doing this.

118
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:29,680
He wasn't living.

119
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,200
He was existing.

120
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,720
When I first met Steve, he was hunched over in a lot of pain.

121
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,120
You know, I was, I really got hooked on the meds.

122
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,800
I did try taking my life with the pills.

123
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920
He just seemed like he was in pain all the time.

124
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,920
He walked into the tent and he encountered a miracle that continues to blow all of our

125
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,920
minds.

126
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,800
And this room, diseases will start to be healed in people's bodies.

127
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,120
The next thing I know, I'm shaking.

128
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,000
I didn't even realize it, but I'm standing straight up and down and I didn't have any

129
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,000
pain.

130
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,280
I looked at everybody in the role.

131
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Like, please, somebody tell me what's happening here.

132
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,720
Steve was just a whole brand new human being.

133
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,320
Like, it was a miracle.

134
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:19,000
One characteristic of the outpouring of the spirit, or what we call revival, is that it's

135
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
not the end.

136
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,120
It's just the beginning.

137
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,120
God is getting his people ready.

138
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,160
Well, that's exciting.

139
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,720
Would you tell me a little bit about the background of this and what you're hoping to accomplish?

140
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Okay.

141
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:45,200
Well, first of all, the young lady, Bree, that you just saw with a condition where a toxic

142
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:52,320
reaction to antibiotics made her body start to consume itself.

143
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,880
She's 5'10", went down to 94 pounds.

144
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,320
And the devastation extended to her motor skills.

145
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,560
And so they wheeled her in and she demanded that she come to the front of the meeting

146
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:12,080
and poured herself out onto the floor and began screaming as you saw in the video.

147
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:18,560
And that miracle is absolutely undeniable and it's just the wonder of Christ.

148
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,640
At the end of the film in the theaters, I'm going to give a 12-minute presentation to

149
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,440
called people to be saved and to be healed.

150
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:34,720
And we're hoping that by the time we get to that portion of the night that the case is

151
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:42,280
so incontrovertibly made for the reality of Jesus that the audience will be moved.

152
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:47,920
And we're expecting many, many people to be saved in theaters and healed.

153
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,320
And so we're thrilled about it.

154
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,160
And we're going to put together a grassroots movement.

155
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,360
You know, a lot of people know our tent crusades.

156
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,640
In fact, right now we're getting ready for Phoenix.

157
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,280
That's the backdrop I've got is Phoenix, Arizona.

158
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,440
And we're fighting a war there in order to get the crusade done.

159
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,240
And it's coming together.

160
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:19,000
But we are hopeful of using the skills that God has given us to create a grassroots volunteer

161
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,640
army.

162
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Sometimes we've had 1,500 volunteers in our tent.

163
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:32,160
Well, we have the ability to put together a national army so that when this film appears

164
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:40,840
in a theater, there will be a grassroots campaign that is so well organized, that will overflow

165
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,840
the theaters.

166
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Wherever the film will be shown, we're expecting to overflow the theaters and for it to take

167
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,840
on a life of its own.

168
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:59,040
And it's thrilling to me as a spirit-filled believer to have a proven something with integrity

169
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:05,600
and decency and quality that really does give out the spirit-filled message of the baptism

170
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,760
in the Holy Spirit and healing and the salvation of Christ.

171
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:19,320
Well, it's important that people become part of this grassroots army because the theaters,

172
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:25,040
which play all kinds of terrible stuff, have actually recently been much more open to what

173
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,400
they call faith-based movies.

174
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Exactly.

175
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:34,640
And Charisma Media even had one with Rabbi Jonathan Kahn that was more or less a documentary

176
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,040
of his book, Harbinger 2.

177
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:43,040
It was called Harbinger of Things to Come, and it played just less than two years ago.

178
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,560
And it was the number two movie.

179
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:47,920
It was on a Tuesday night, as I recall.

180
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:54,040
In the whole country, only Doctor Strange was bigger, and then it came back later.

181
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,280
And it was like revival broke out at the end of the film.

182
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:03,400
It was phenomenal to see people started praising the Lord and all this kind of stuff.

183
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:09,520
And then Greg Locke from Nashville did one out in Jesus' name, a similar kind of thing

184
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,280
happened, except there were actually, in fact, he had a statement toward the end similar

185
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,580
to what you just described in which he started praying deliverance, and people were manifesting

186
00:14:18,580 --> 00:14:20,440
in theaters all over the country.

187
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,640
Now, these are only two examples or a lot of other examples.

188
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,800
CBN has done some things.

189
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,800
Some other ministries.

190
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,960
We need to support them, partly because these theater owners could care less about the Gospel

191
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,960
or anything else.

192
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,240
All they care about is ticket sales, and I'm sorry to be that crass, but that's how it

193
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,240
is.

194
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,320
But do you know, on the other hand, we want positive things to go to, and the price of

195
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,440
a theater ticket is not very much.

196
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,680
We pay it for other things.

197
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:53,760
We need to support ministries like you, and I just applaud you for doing this.

198
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,040
Now I want to hear about some other miracle stories that happened.

199
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,400
I know you were in Sacramento recently.

200
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,640
You've had a lot of miracles, and people are hungry for this.

201
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,040
They are.

202
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,840
Things are so bad in our country.

203
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:14,280
It's almost as if the pendulum is swinging or beginning to swing the other way, but we

204
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,160
are a very precarious situation.

205
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,240
So tell us some other stories of miracles that you've seen in your tent crusades and

206
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,800
also in places like Capitol Christian Center in Sacramento and other churches that you've

207
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:29,800
been to.

208
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:41,160
Well, the miracles we've seen in the tent, ironically, happen often to non-Christians.

209
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,160
That's the element.

210
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:48,480
See, both Brie that you see in the film and then Stephen, the other gentleman, neither

211
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,680
one of them knew Christ at the moment of their healing.

212
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,400
And that's a remarkable statement.

213
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,400
I mean, what in the world are we talking about there?

214
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Well, we have people like Joseph, who I'll tell you about his healing in Fresno.

215
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,560
Joseph was on his way to work driving along Highway 99, which we call the Corridor of Glory

216
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,760
in California.

217
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,960
And as he was driving along Highway 99, he saw the tent at 4.30 in the afternoon, and

218
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,040
a voice told him, get in the tent.

219
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:33,960
Well, he was 19 years old and he's addicted to heroin and he has liver, kidney, and heart

220
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,760
disease.

221
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:41,680
So excuse me, pancreas, liver, and kidneys.

222
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,600
And when he heard that voice, he went straight over to the tent in the parking lot at 4.30.

223
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,320
And strangely enough, even though the meeting didn't begin for two hours, there were already

224
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,400
people there sitting under the tent.

225
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,480
And so he went and sat in the tent and called his boss and said, I'm not coming in today

226
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,840
because I'm going to be in this tent.

227
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
And the boss said, if you don't show up, I'm going to have to fire you.

228
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,600
And he said, well, I guess I'm fired.

229
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,840
So he sat there.

230
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,920
I'm now arriving.

231
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,920
I usually arrive about 45 minutes before start time.

232
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,840
And I'm pacing outside the tent and all of a sudden the Lord says there'll be a young

233
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,800
man.

234
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,880
When you see him, you'll know him.

235
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,400
And I didn't have any pictures.

236
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,800
So I don't know how God was going to let me know who it was.

237
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,360
But he ran down the entire profile that I just described.

238
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:41,080
Well, I walk in.

239
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,600
I'm standing there.

240
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,880
I'm welcoming the people.

241
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:52,760
I look out and they're on the aisle about six rows back on my right side.

242
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,000
Santa Isle is this kid, Joseph.

243
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,320
I walked down to him.

244
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,960
I asked him to stand.

245
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,440
Now, you would never do this, Steve, in a church.

246
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,280
It'd be too raw.

247
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,600
But I looked at him and I said, are you addicted to heroin?

248
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,920
And he says, yes, I am.

249
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,520
And then I began to describe the other illnesses in his body.

250
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:20,920
And I could watch the visible shaking of the power of God on this young man who a demonic

251
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,440
spirit was cast out of him.

252
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,480
His body was healed.

253
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,240
He was saved.

254
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,600
And when I thought I had finished my job, God spun me around and said, go back.

255
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,880
You're not finished yet.

256
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,080
And I told him, you're going to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which is a major

257
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,800
portion of what we believe in under the tent, because we can't have gangsters and drug addicts

258
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,480
saved without leaving.

259
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:53,800
They got to have the power of God to create that degree of separation with their past.

260
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,560
So I put my hand on him.

261
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,560
And all of a sudden, Steve, this beautiful language starts coming out of him.

262
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,000
Well, I didn't miss an opportunity.

263
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:11,520
I lowered the mic near his mouth and that prayer language of the Holy Spirit filled the tent.

264
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,000
And it was like, it just ignited everyone in the room.

265
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,040
The praise that went up to God was amazing.

266
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,520
That was an astonishing miracle.

267
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,280
And we thank God for it.

268
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Amen.

269
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,960
And, you know, you're telling that about the dog addicts and so forth needing the power

270
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,360
of the Holy Spirit brings to mind a story.

271
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:36,000
I'll try to tell it very briefly about David Wilkerson, who started Teen Challenge.

272
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Right.

273
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,640
Well, back in the 60s, Teen Challenge was very small.

274
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,200
They had one center on Clinton Avenue in Brooklyn.

275
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:49,680
And they found that the drug addicts who received the baptism in the Holy Spirit stayed off

276
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,080
of drugs.

277
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,880
And the ones who didn't receive tended to slip back into their old ways.

278
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:01,200
And one day, a Catholic priest who had heard about them, and he came by the center to

279
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,280
kind of get a tour.

280
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,760
He asked David Wilkerson about this.

281
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,880
And so in his book, Cross the Switchblade, you can read it for yourself.

282
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:15,080
They stopped the narrative and he tells this Catholic priest about receiving the baptism

283
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,760
in the Holy Spirit.

284
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Some Catholic students at Duquesne University in 1967 read that chapter and started seeking

285
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:24,800
God.

286
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,960
And that is the beginning of the modern charismatic renewal in the Roman Catholic Church.

287
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,720
Because the people have been swept into the kingdom of God, and it was because of the

288
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:40,560
story about the fact that the drug addicts needed the power of the Holy Spirit to live

289
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,680
a life free.

290
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,160
And really, to some extent, all of us are bound up to something.

291
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,000
If it's not drugs, it's something else.

292
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,240
And we all need to have that power.

293
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,800
That's why the Holy Spirit fell on the day of Pentecost, which was the beginning of the

294
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,280
church.

295
00:20:54,280 --> 00:21:01,000
And we're beginning to come to the end, and I want to hear other stories, but I also want

296
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,480
to encourage people to subscribe to The Strang Report if you don't already.

297
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,080
Hit the little bell so you know when we're on every Tuesday and Thursday, 4 p.m. Eastern

298
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,880
time.

299
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,600
But I'm going to tell a personal story.

300
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:21,080
And if Mario has been my guest several times, and I've told how I've known you since 1971,

301
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,400
which is true.

302
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,560
And you had a powerful, powerful ministry back then, and I said to myself on today's

303
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,560
podcast, you know, I'm not going to tell this story one more time.

304
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,320
People can go back on YouTube or the Chrismas Podcast network and see it.

305
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,880
But you're talking about miracles.

306
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:43,880
And Mario, I've enjoyed good health most of my life, but the most significant healing

307
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:49,240
that I had in the answer to prayer was in your meeting in 1971.

308
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,240
And the story is that I hurt my back when I was about six years old, falling off a swing

309
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,280
set and it damaged one vertebrae.

310
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:05,000
And every once in a while, and so I was 20 years old and having excruciating pain, it

311
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,280
would be triggered by something.

312
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,680
It was really probably a pinched nerve.

313
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,160
And eventually I'd get over it.

314
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:16,080
But I was in excruciating pain at that conference that I was at, sitting on wooden benches,

315
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,560
as I recall.

316
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:23,200
And I felt, you know, it's not like having pancreatic cancer or something.

317
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,280
I mean, everybody's got some level of back problem, I think.

318
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,000
But I went forward and I was instantly healed.

319
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,440
I'm going to say of the pain of the pinched nerve.

320
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,400
And today, occasionally I have a little bit of back problem, but I believe that God really,

321
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,400
really healed me.

322
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,560
And I wanted to give glory to God one more time.

323
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,560
Glory to God.

324
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,800
And, you know, I've told you that story.

325
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,640
In fact, you said you remembered it.

326
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,400
It's hard for me to believe you remembered it was so long ago.

327
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,640
But maybe that just gives a little bit of credibility that you are not new to the scene.

328
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,040
You've been doing this for years and God's been using you.

329
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:08,960
And really, if God can heal me or help me, that was a very impactful time in my life.

330
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,960
He can do it for anyone.

331
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,360
And that's the message I want to communicate in my podcast, is that the things that you

332
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:18,600
see and the things we talk about, God can do in your own life.

333
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,600
And that's right.

334
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,000
So tell us some more stories because we're going to use up all the time.

335
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,560
I want to get as many stories about the miracles and the supernatural because a lot of churches

336
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,080
don't believe the supernatural or they even play it down.

337
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,080
Yes.

338
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,280
Sometimes they actually oppose it.

339
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:42,280
And then people don't know what to think or they know of a time when someone made it up

340
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,600
or they misused the power of God in some way.

341
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:52,600
You even were talking about it before with, you said these pastors, these apostate pastors

342
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,920
were the only atheists because they're acting this way.

343
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,240
If they believed in God, they wouldn't act this way.

344
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,820
So I believe that your testimony is sort of an antidote to that.

345
00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:02,600
Tell me more.

346
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,520
Teresa Stacey was healed in Clear Lake, California.

347
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:16,040
And she tried to get in our meeting three times, but the limited space made it impossible.

348
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,640
She literally had only days left to live.

349
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,160
And the shopping list of her ailments were virtually endless.

350
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,840
90% of her liver was not working.

351
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,800
She had diabetes.

352
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:36,520
She had a condition in her spine where the bone was liquefying and she had lost two inches

353
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,960
of height.

354
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:43,880
She had peripheral neuropathy, a nerve problem that a lot of people have isolated to their

355
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,840
feet, but with her it was all over her body.

356
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,960
And even bed sheets, putting a sheet on top of her would cause her pain.

357
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:58,680
14 years, she and her husband slept in separate bedrooms because of her condition and the pain.

358
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,000
She couldn't be hugged or touched because of this.

359
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Even the doctors finally told her, you know, you don't have any time left and go put your

360
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,000
house in order.

361
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,840
So she comes to the meeting, can't get in because the line was too long, tries a second

362
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:16,840
time.

363
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:23,360
And the third time she's standing in a light rain outside of the facility and finally makes

364
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:24,360
it in.

365
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:27,120
I think she was there 90 minutes early.

366
00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:33,520
And she's sitting on the aisle and this facility we were in had a cement floor.

367
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,440
And you have to remember her condition.

368
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:41,120
And I looked down at her and God said, this is all that's going on in her.

369
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:42,360
And I give him the glory.

370
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:46,880
I'm terrified when I share stories like this because I don't want anyone to think I've

371
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,040
got any power at all because I don't.

372
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:55,000
And I went down there and to make it real quick, I asked her to stand.

373
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,920
And when she began to stand, Steve, I thought I'd done the most cruel thing I'd ever done

374
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:05,840
in my life because when she struggled to get on her feet, it was so excruciating.

375
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:11,040
And then I reached out to pray for her and she fell on that cement floor with no one

376
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,760
to catch her.

377
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,920
And the husband was standing next to her.

378
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,280
Jim is his name.

379
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:25,360
Jim looked at his wife, bounce off cement floor and utterly panicked because he knew

380
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,600
this would kill her.

381
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:34,560
Well, she heard my voice talking to Jim like she was listening from the end of a barrel,

382
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960
you know, just a long tunnel, excuse me.

383
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:43,640
And so she is hearing this and being operated on by God.

384
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:49,800
She was five foot seven when she hit the floor and she was five foot nine when she stood

385
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,800
up.

386
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:57,800
Then all the tests done on her liver, done on her pancreas, her lungs, her heart, she

387
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,240
was totally healed by the power of God.

388
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:08,840
And I'm telling you, it shook people and it shook me even after years of seeing the miraculous.

389
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,560
That shook me to my core.

390
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,320
Well, we just have a couple of minutes left and I want to give you the last word.

391
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:19,840
Tell people how they connect with Mario Murillo Ministries, how they can find out about the

392
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:25,520
meeting you're going to have in Phoenix, about living proof, you know, as things develop

393
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:31,480
and as put on a schedule because it's not going to happen until fall of 2024.

394
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:37,560
And then end with just a positive encouragement to people to believe God.

395
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,040
All in two minutes.

396
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,040
Yes.

397
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,080
You can do it.

398
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,200
Go to mario marillo.org.

399
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,000
That brings you to everything.

400
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,600
That'll tell you about the film, our next 10 crusade right here in Phoenix on April 21st

401
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,960
through the 24th.

402
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,480
You'll find out about the film.

403
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,320
You'll find out how you can volunteer.

404
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,400
You'll find out how you can be active.

405
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:06,080
And I'm going to say this because I really believe that if you were to ask me the number

406
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,920
one thing the devil is doing to people right now is he's trying to get them introverted,

407
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,400
thinking about their problem, thinking about how life affects them.

408
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:22,880
And the instantaneous power against that is to become involved in the needs of other people.

409
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:28,080
And the minute you do, not only are they going to be touched, but it's going to back up on

410
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,280
you and it's going to transform your life.

411
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,880
There is nothing that erases depression as fast as fresh vision.

412
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,560
And a fresh vision to be used of God is the single greatest cure for all this onslaught

413
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,400
of bad news.

414
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Every bit of this evil that's going on right now, my friend, you can solve it just by saying,

415
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,880
God, make me a source of healing, encouragement and power for other people.

416
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:03,680
And the minute you do that, you're going to see an instant relief and the weight of life

417
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,720
is going to come off of you in Jesus' name.

418
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,720
Amen.

419
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,720
Amen.

420
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,720
And Marimorillo, thank you for being with us.

421
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,120
Thank you for taking time.

422
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,560
Thank you for being my friend all these years.

423
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:24,280
In 1971, I would have never dreamed that God would use you or that God would reconnect

424
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,520
our lives all these years later.

425
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,240
Thank you to my viewers and listeners for tuning into the Strang Report.

426
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:37,920
As I said, sign up, subscribe, share this with others, share the link, put it on social

427
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:38,920
media.

428
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,920
Let's get the word out.

429
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,440
Let's be a part of a big army getting out.

430
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,800
We're not so much about Marimorillo and his ministry, but these examples of what God has

431
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,640
done, these miracles that have happened.

432
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,000
Thank you for watching.

433
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,680
God bless you.
