REVIVAL IN THE USA IS A REALITY

Posted on by

Suárez, founder of Revivalmakers Ministries and vice president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), said he’s seeing hunger for God expanding across denominational and cultural lines, sparking what he believes is a spiritual revival in the United States.

“These are the days our parents prayed for,” he said. “Our grandparents prophesied that there would be one last great awakening before Christ’s return, and I believe we’re living it out right now.” I believe Suárez is right. This is the fifth article I have posted on revival in the USA, especially among university students.

While some headlines highlight concerns over dwindling church attendance and cultural disengagement among young people, Suárez said he’s seeing something vastly different.

“Young people are hungry for the real things of God,” Suárez said, stressing that young people are seeing an “authentic” worship experience. “What they don’t want is smoke machines and a concert. My own kids say, ‘If I want a concert, I’ll go to one. But when I go to church, I want it to be church.’”

With five children between the ages of 15 and 21, Suárez sees firsthand what he calls a craving for authentic, Spirit-led worship. His ministry regularly emphasizes a clear message: “Revival is not coming. Revival is here.”

Suárez said while some may contend they haven’t seen it, the spiritual climate in the churches he visits suggests otherwise. “I don’t have concern for the church right now,” he said. “I have a lot of optimism.”

Central to Suárez’s vision for revival is the growing role of the Hispanic church in the United States. According to the NHCLC, Hispanic and Asian Pacific communities represent the fastest-growing segments of nearly every denomination in the country.

“The Hispanic church is pro-life, pro-marriage, and committed to the authority of Scripture,” he said. “There’s a reverence not just for God but for the people of God.”

According to Suárez, this demographic growth is one of the most hopeful signs for the future of American Christianity. “It’s one of those glimmering moments of hope that we’re seeing again within the Church,” he said.

In 2024, Suárez helped lead a series of revival events along the U.S.-Mexico border, hosting large gatherings in Texas, Arizona and California that drew thousands of attendees, including migrants, law enforcement officials and local residents.

“There is an invasion at the southern border,” Suárez said. “But it’s not a political invasion, it’s a spiritual one.”

During the two-week campaign, his team documented more than 10,000 spiritual encounters, including salvations, baptisms and testimonies of healing.

“One of the beautiful things about Christianity is that it’s a gathering place for anyone who wants to drink from the fountain of God,” he said. “We had migrants, Border Patrol agents and residents all worshiping together. Nobody cared who was who. We just wanted people to be legal for Heaven.”

According to Suárez, the movement will continue in 2025, with plans to bring revival events deeper into Mexico.

In addition to his evangelistic work, Suarez advocates with politicians for immigration reform that prioritizes border enforcement, assimilation and a non-amnesty path to legal status. 

The pastor, who served as a member of Donald Trump’s Evangelical Advisory Board and My Faith Votes, acknowledged that fear has gripped many in the Hispanic community in recent months, especially around immigration enforcement.

“After President Trump’s inauguration, Hispanic church attendance fell by nearly 30%,” he said. “There was real fear about mass deportations and raids on churches, something that was never actually proposed but was spread in Spanish-language media.”

Suárez urged people to seek accurate information and encourage their Hispanic friends. “There’s a lot of fear-mongering, and we need to be messengers of truth and hope,” he said.

Born to a Colombian family with deep missionary roots, Suárez has been a longtime advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. He has served on national policy committees and regularly meets with lawmakers through his work with the NHCLC.

“We haven’t had real immigration reform since Ronald Reagan,” Suárez, who was named by Newsmax as one of the 50 most influential Republican Latinos in the United States, said. “That was when I was in kindergarten.”

The pastor stressed he supports border security but believes it must be paired with realistic immigration solutions for the estimated 14 to 20 million undocumented immigrants already in the U.S.

“You can’t deport that many people,” he said. “They’re part of our economy—milking cows picking crops, building homes. We need to remove the criminal element, yes, but we also need to offer a path for others to come out of the shadows.”

He advocated for measures such as background checks, fines, pledges of allegiance and English proficiency. While not all may qualify for full citizenship, he said, a form of legal residency is essential, both for the economy and for national security.

GOD IS AT WORK ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES IN THE USA

Posted on by

This report on an amazing revival at Ohio State University is just one of a number of reports on God at work in American universities that I have posted in February. The first was on 15/02/2025, American Teenagers Open to Jesus and the second on 18/02/2025, Is America on the Brink of Another Jesus Revolution

The organizers said nearly 2,000 Ohio State University students made decisions to commit to following Jesus Christ during a massive campus revival event this week . The event, held at The Schott sports arena, drew a crowd of over 6,500 students.

At Ohio State, the attendees participated despite the chilling temperatures, which dipped into the teens. In an extraordinary display of commitment, students were baptized in the backs of U-Haul trucks parked at the site, CBN News reported. 

On social media, Unite US founder Tonya Prewett expressed awe at the spiritual movement unfolding on college campuses.

“We’ve been in awe of how God has already been moving on this campus over the past year, and He met us here again tonight,” she posted on Instagram. “Over 6,500 students gathered in The Schott to lift the name of Jesus, and almost 2,000 responded to the altar call — experiencing the freedom only He can bring.”

Prewett added, “God is moving in this generation, and we know that He’s just getting started!”

Pastor Matt Brown wrote on X, “At many of these campus events, spontaneous baptisms have broken out from those who’ve responded to the gospel. Last night the temps were cold but that didn’t stop students from getting baptized in the back of U-Haul trucks!”

The Unite US movement’s outreach efforts began in September 2023. Since then, more than 70,000 students across various campuses have participated in the ministry’s events, experiencing the transformative power of the Gospel, according to the ministry.

The revival was the second large-scale event organized by the Unite US movement this year, following a similar gathering last week at the University of Kentucky.

In August 2024, a revival at Ohio State was notably attended by members of the university’s football team. The event saw about 60 attendees baptized, with testimonies from notable players like receiver Emeka Egbuka, running back TreVeyon Henderson, defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau and former wide receiver Kamryn Babb.

The OSU student newspaper, The Lantern, noted that about 800 to 1,000 individuals attended, though some estimates suggest the number might have been as high as 2,000.

“It started spontaneous baptisms, and the football guys were the ones baptizing them,” recounted a faculty member to The Christian Post at the time. “Person after person came. You could just see the Spirit moving in people. It was different, nothing I’ve ever experienced before.”

The upcoming schedule for Unite US includes an outreach event at Purdue University in Indiana, set for March 5, where we expect to see more evidence of God moving amongst the young.

AMERICA’S ONLY HOPE IS REVIVAL

Posted on by

Listen to Jonathan Cahn’s prophetic message at the National Gathering of Prayer on February 6th, 2025 with Members of Congress. It was a Call and Charge to the American people for repentance and prayer. Unless the nation turns back to God the reprieve it has received with the election of President Trump will be temporary. Revival is needed and that will only come with repentance and prayer.

A GOOD NEWS STORY FROM IRELAND AND ENGLAND

Posted on by

The fire of God is spreading across the United Kingdom. From England to Ireland, Christians are witnessing a “shift” and a new hunger for God in the once spiritually dry region. “Something has shifted in the last 6 months, and it feels like it’s a rising river,” said Pastor Craig Cooney who leads Hope Church in Northern Ireland. He believes the spiritual drought brought on by the pandemic is over. “Between 2020 and 2023 I found myself often saying that I’ve never seen the church at such a low ebb that it just felt like we were going through the motions post-Covid, that churches were struggling, their numbers were down. But not only were their numbers down, there was just a lack of zeal, passion, enthusiasm, and growth.

In the latter days, the Lord Will Pour Out His Spirit
“And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit.” Joel 2:28-29

Something shifted around the start of this year and it’s difficult to describe or define,” Cooney said. Cooney, who also reaches more than 100,000 people on Instagram says the most noticeable change is a tangible presence of God and an increase in the number of healings. “There’s this sense of ‘God is in the room’ that has been birthed out of and has probably birthed prayer, an increase in prayer.

We have seen that in our own church. About 20% of our church now come to our weekly prayer meeting at 6:00 PM on a Wednesday. It’s not a convenient time, but it’s just an hour of solid intercession. And there’s just people crying out for the lost people, crying out for their families,” he said. “And every week we are getting testimonies of healing from people who might not even have believed in divine healing six months ago. I mean, it’s not the people you might expect. It’s the people who when they say they’re healed, they’re healed because they wouldn’t be making this stuff up,” Cooney said.

In June, Rev. Franklin Graham brought his “God Loves You Tour” to Glasgow, where more than 7,000 people turned out with many giving their lives to Christ. “God loves you and He’s willing to forgive our sins but we have to come to Him, His way and that’s through the cross of Jesus Christ,” Graham told the crowd.

One young Scottish man in attendance described the experience like this: “I went up tonight because Franklin was so powerful in his word, He said ‘Get out of your seat,’ and I had to get out of my seat! I had to get there! I didn’t realize there was going to be 2-3,000 people behind me. It gives me anxiety, but I didn’t care, I’m going to give it to the cross,” he exclaimed.

Rev. Liz Doyle, founder and director of “She Leads America” just returned from England where she prayed with a group inside Windsor Castle. “And as we were in St. George’s Chapel praying, I felt the Lord speak to me and say, ‘I’m going to bring revival into this place.’ We were there for three days and three nights with 30 of our British counterparts,” Doyle said. “Genesis Chapter 28 is what the Vicar was reading from that day. And right next to us is Queen Elizabeth’s grave.

I felt that when he began to read Genesis chapter 28:13-15, it says on the ground where you’re laid, I’m going to bless the generations. And I felt the Lord saying, ‘I am going to begin to work in your children’s lives, Queen Elizabeth, and they’re going to be a blessing to the world.’”

Doyle and her husband pastored in England for 25 years and for her, this was a full-circle moment. She felt the Lord saying, “I’m going to bring you back to the land and give you the things I’ve promised.” “My husband and I had been church planting in England for 25 years, and we left about 25 years ago. So those two things came together, and I understood it to be that the Lord was going to move in St. George’s Chapel,” Doyle said.

AMERICA IS IN MORAL FREEFALL

Posted on by

Taken from an article by Dr. Michael Brown  America is in Moral Freefall, Op-ed Contributor The Christian Post, Wednesday, April 03, 2024

In 1944, 9 years before the first edition of “Playboy” was published, Rev. Peter Marshall declared, “Surely the time has come, because the hour is late when we must decide. And the choice before us is plain — Yahweh or Baal. Christ or chaos. Conviction or compromise. Discipline or disintegration.”

In 1959, Prof. Robert Coleman proclaimed, “In a day when unprecedented numbers of people have a form of religion while at the same time, the Church seems unable to stem the rising tide of degeneracy that threatens the land, the question must be raised: Why this paradox? Should not the Church have influence for righteousness in proportion to her numbers? However one may seek to answer this question, it is obvious that what is needed is not more religion, but more power. In short, we need real revival!”

In 2010, David Wilkerson stated that in just over 50 years since the decade of the 1960s, we have become a nation in full-blown, open rebellion against God. Today: We worship the Almighty Dollar. Greed has become our national motivator. Sex is our obsession. Gambling is our national pastime. We are the world’s largest consumer of illegal drugs. We have banned God from our schools. We have declared God off-limits in the public arena.

I am confident that we can go all the way back to the American colonies and find similar, thunderous warnings, speaking of our spiritual apostasy and moral rot. After all, the First Great Awakening, which presupposed a great falling away, took place in the 1730s and 1740s, “at a time when the idea of secular rationalism was being emphasized, and passion for religion had grown stale.”

There’s even a danger of becoming so accustomed to our nation’s precipitous condition that we just yawn at the latest example of our depravity.

Drag queens reading to toddlers with the enthusiastic support of the American Library Association? No big deal.

Thirteen-year-old girls having their healthy breasts removed and 11-year-old boys getting chemically castrated because of short-lived struggles with their gender identity? Nothing to fuss about.

Radical feminists launching a “Shout Your Abortion” movement? No big deal.

Christians being canceled because they dare to hold to their biblically-based values in public? Let’s not get too worked up.

How deadly complacency can be!

That’s why we need to feel the full force of the outrage of the moment, as the President of the United States, himself a professing Catholic, uses his bully platform to mock the followers of Jesus worldwide. First, he announced “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Good Friday. Then, he timed things so that it would be celebrated this year on Resurrection (Easter) Sunday.

Wake up, America! It really is revival or we die — and that revival, that awakening, that coming to life again, that returning to the Lord with all our hearts and souls, repenting of our own sins — must begin with each of us.

To pray it again, “Lord, let the awakening begin with me.

The Bible reveals that God refines His church during the last seven years before Jesus returns first to rescue the Saints. The church of Philadelphia represents the church that Jesus raptures before He pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world.

Jesus has nothing but compliments for these survivors of the Great Tribulation, his faithful remnant.

“Jesus says, I have set before you an open door, no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of trial (Rapture) which shall come upon the whole earth (wrath of God).” (Revelation 3:7-13)

“hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown” (Rev. 3:11). There is yet time to fall away and lose their rewards.

MANY YOUNG PEOPLE SEEK GOD

Posted on by

RING IN 2024 WITH REVIVAL: Well over 100,000 young people gathered to seek God over the New Year and to ring in 2024 with revival.

55,000 at Passion in Atlanta 10,000 at Cross Con in Kentucky 7,000 at Cru National Gathering 5,000 at Salt Conference in Iowa 13,500 at Strength to Stand in Tennessee (multiple) 12,000 at Hearts on Fire in Tennessee (Nov) 7,000 at Xtreme in Missouri.

Of course, there is no way to even begin to calculate the millions of people who gathered at local churches to seek God across the nation and worldwide. Also, countless churches are now calling their congregants to fast and pray at the beginning of the new year.


@madisonyoung3493
I was personally there. I’ve never felt the Holy Spirit so strong in a place. 55,000 people came to one place to worship the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD! I will never forget the feeling and connection we all had. This moment I will always remember there is hope in this world.

It is always good to learn of young people who are seeking after God.

“The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand,
who seek after God.” Psalms 14:2

A TIMELY REMINDER CONCERNING THE ASBURY REVIVAL

Posted on by

Greg Stier of Dare 2 Share Ministries International gives us a timely warning: “with all of the talk of a potential revival sweeping the nation right now, I think it’s a good time to discuss the difference between “the fire of spiritual revival” and “the whisper of daily obedience.”

Greg uses the experience Elijah had with Jezebel and the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. What happened after God sent the lightning bolt from heaven to consume the sacrifice?

Shocked and frightened, the people collapsed to the ground and started chanting, “The LORD—He is God! The LORD—He is God!” But Elijah wasn’t finished. He commanded the people to kill all the false prophets of Baal. and that’s exactly what they did.

Elijah scored his victory in an instant. Not only did he win the showdown, but he also wiped out the competition. At that moment, he must have been convinced that the fire of revival would strike in Israel, just as that lightning bolt from Heaven had struck the sacrifice.

Instead, it led to a death threat from the evil queen Jezebel, whose prophets he had humbled and slaughtered on Mt. Carmel that day and what did Elijah do?

“Elijah was afraid and ran for his life… He came to a broom bush, sat down under it, and prayed that he might die. ‘I have had enough, LORD,’ he said. ‘Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.’” 1 Kings 19:3-4

We know that God provided for him miraculously on the journey but fueled by terror and adrenaline, he ran, then walked, and then slogged, ending up in a cave 280 miles away from Mt. Carmel, in the middle of a desolate wilderness. It was in the pitch black of that cold cave that he finally fell asleep, after 40 straight days and nights of weeping, wondering, and wandering.

The lesson

After he awoke the next day, God gave him an earth, wind, and fire object lesson he would never forget. At the mouth of the cave that day, Elijah learned the difference between the fire of spiritual revival and the whisper of daily obedience.

The revelation

We must learn that same lesson, especially as it seems “the prophets of Baal” (the world, the flesh, and the devil) are being defeated at Asbury University and that young people across the nation are increasingly chanting: “The LORD—He is God! The LORD—He is God!”

We all love the fire of revival. We all love it when God seems to send a lightning bolt of awakening, and the people, especially young people, hold high the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We all love it when there seems to be a move of God that brings revival.

But what happened at Mt. Carmel didn’t translate to a true revival that transformed the culture and truly turned it back to God. It was a flash in a pan, and soon after, things went back to the norm.

What does the object lesson God gave to Elijah have to do with all of this?

We tend to look at God’s work primarily as the hurricane-force wind that brings in the Spirit of God and sets everyone’s tongue ablaze with the Gospel (Acts 2:1-4). Or the earth-shaking power of God that rattles the building when His people pray (Acts 4:31). Or the lightning bolt of fire from Heaven that consumes the sacrifice (1 Kings 18).

But, as amazing as those experiences are, they aren’t God’s primary modes of working. Of course, He uses those to accomplish His will and, sometimes, to launch spiritual movements. But His primary mode is in the whisper of daily obedience.

The encouragement

Elijah thought he was alone (“I am the only one left…” 1 Kings 19:10). He thought he’d failed at launching a revival (“I am no better than my ancestors.” 1 Kings 19:4) and that his ministry hadn’t made a difference. Why? Because his dramatic victory on Mt. Carmel didn’t lead to a lasting revival.

But God showed him something different. He whispered encouragement into his soul. He reminded Elijah:

‘Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.’ 1 Kings 19:18

Guess whose example inspired them? Elijah’s!

Guess who was not only their hero but also the hero of a hundred prophets hidden away in caves (1 Kings 18:4)? Elijah!

Guess who most likely inspired the thought of launching a school for prophets? Elijah!

God had used the whisper of daily obedience in Elijah’s life to produce a radicalized remnant of the few rather than triggering a sweeping revival of the many. And God was reminding him of that.

He had made a difference. And that difference had been made long before the showdown on Mt. Carmel.

The takeaway

What does all of this mean for the current revival happening at Asbury and in more and more spots across the nation and around the world? It means we need to keep being obedient, no matter what. We need to be daily fixated on Jesus in our everyday jobs or school classes. We need to make the grind a godly one. We need a relentless consecration of self and dealing with sin in our own lives, making sure we’re not “kissing the baals” of our culture. We need to have a steady flow of outward activation for the Gospel, sharing God’s message with everyone.

If this fire that struck Asbury University a few weeks ago is from God, it will continue to burn. But either way, we must continue to be overcomers.

“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5

And God will use your relentless obedience, boldness, and faith to raise up a radicalized remnant to change the world.

Praise God for the spiritual hurricanes, earthquakes, and lightning bolts when they happen. But don’t underestimate the transforming power of God’s whisper in the dust of everyday life.

Great message from Greg Stier.

REPENTANCE AND HOLINESS ARE HOW REVIVALS START

Posted on by

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6

ASBURY REVIVAL:

How It Started: The Asbury Collegian reported that it began during a call to confession on Wednesday, February 8, when at least 100 people fell to their knees and bowed at the altar.

Since then it has turned into a Holy Spirit outpouring that has only grown larger and larger each day with visitors pouring in from around the U.S. and the world.

Asbury President Kevin J. Brown, Ph.D. posted a four-minute video update posted to Twitter calling these last few weeks at the Christian school, “unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my life.” “Whether you call this a revival, a renewal, an awakening, or an outpouring, what we have experienced on our campus these last few weeks is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my life,” Brown said.

Brown said he believes Asbury is not the keeper or source of this movement, saying it has already gone to other campuses across the U.S. “People are hungry for something more,” he said, quoting Jesus in the New Testament’s Matthew 5:6. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.” “We look to other schools, other churches, or ministry communities as co-commissioners in this movement that’s taking shape for us,” Brown said.

“Whatever happens from here, our deep desire is to see a life-transforming renewal of our younger generation to faithfully serve their communities, their schools, their churches, and their professions. To see them go into the difficult and dark places in the world and to be light.”

In closing, Brown thanked people for praying and asked them to continue to pray that what is happening at Asbury would continue to move across states, countries, and continents so that all may see Christ” he said.

REVIVAL AND PERSECUTION IN THE END TIMES

Posted on by

Both are possible and Jesus told us that this is what will happen before He returns, first to raise the dead in Christ and then rapture the Saints that are alive, before pouring out His wrath upon an unrepentant world.

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:9-14

I met Jonathan Cahn by chance at breakfast at the Leonardo Hotel in Jerusalem. I was ordering an omelette at breakfast when a voice behind me said, I will have one of those too. I looked around and could not believe I was looking at Jonathan Cahn. Surprised, I said, Jonathan Cahn! He replied that’s right. Wanting to keep the conversation going, I asked, what are you doing here, Conference? No! he replied, I am here on vacation, I have not been well. I was handed my omelette, so I returned to my table, but I immediately asked the Holy Spirit why had I met Jonathan at this time. Was there a purpose? Immediately, the Holy Spirit told me to share with Jonathan why I was in Jerusalem and what was happening at the Gathering that I was attending in the large International Convention Centre opposite the Knesset. Jonathan was sitting at a table with his wife and children so my immediate reaction was no, I should not interrupt them, but the Holy Spirit then added why I needed to tell him. He needs to know that 1500 of the 3000 at the Gathering are Chinese. So I went to the table and first apologised for interrupting their breakfast, but I said, that I believed the Holy Spirit wanted Jonathan to know what God was doing in Israel at this time. I then asked him if he knew that 3000 Christians were here in Israel for a Gathering – no speakers just to worship and hear from God. Jonathan said no, he was not aware of the Gathering and was surprised at the number of Christians attending. I then dropped the “bombshell” 1500 of the attendees were Chinese a large portion from mainland China. No way, was Jonathan’s response. 1500 Chinese came to Jerusalem to pray and offer their support to their Jewish brothers and sisters. Jonathan knows what God is doing in America, but had no concept of the extent of how God is using Chinese Christians to impact the world, even Jerusalem.

Jonathan is God’s prophet for America at this time issuing warnings that America needs to turn back to God or receive His judgement. His book The Harbinger warns America that God had already sent nine warnings to America starting with 9/11, the attack on the World Trade Centre and as America has not heeded those warnings further judgement is inevitable.

If you have not heard Jonathan before you will be blown away by his revelation of Biblical prophecies.
