Greetings Beloved! Happy Thursday!
I keep saying it week after week but I’ll say it again- what a time to be alive!
For months now, the good news of what God is doing across America has been making national news in Christian media, but now the move of God is so substantial that even secular media is reporting on it.
Just the other day, USA Today published this article:
In it, the writer even says this…
“as someone who has been an observer of Christian trends for decades….I’ve NEVER seen anything like this”
Come on Jesus!
Also, a few days earlier, FOX News even did an entire segment on how God is moving across America:
Maybe all these people coming to Jesus is why God is giving us a sign like this in the heavens tomorrow:
“I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” Luke 15:7
And how amazing that American Idol even broadcasted a 3-hour worship service on ABC to millions of people on Sunday:
Things like this were the primary subject of my message on Monday night at The Front. I gave example after example of the amazing things God is doing across our land and I shared a now Word regarding how to walk in personal revival and how to take full advantage of the unprecedented opportunity that the Lord is giving us.
I GUARANTEE it will make you more excited to be alive. The message is also preceded by a powerful testimony about something the Lord did at the Saturday outreach. Watch below:
It was such a good weekend too. On Good Friday, we stopped by the big outreach happening in Payne Park, and wow, what a great seed sown into our region. First Baptist Church (whose pastor is Spirit filled) took over a large part of the park and they brought a worship team, had Tim Tebow share the gospel, and even gave an altar call for salvation. Thousands of people gathered, and at one point a woman even shared her testimony of how she was walking by the event last year and she got drawn in and gave her life to Jesus. This is exactly what we’ve been praying for- that more churches would take Jesus outside the building!
Here’s a 1-minute video of some of the worship, the message and the altar call.
We left Payne Park a little after 7, and then went to Bayfront Park, where we heard there were good crowds and good seeds sown. One cool highlight was seeing this 6-year-old boy get activated into preaching open air. Video below:
On Saturday, we had a great service at Woodland Village, where I shared a message about what Jesus reclaimed when He was in the grave and how we can walk in greater authority through understanding the fullness of what it means that He now has the keys of death and hades (Rev. 1:18).
Then, I headed out to Riverwalk, where we linked up with about 25 people from Hope International Ministries (HIM), including Pastor Ron. It was great to have them with us, and it was super cool to have our bro Cody there to do Holy Ghost Rap too. Here’s one video of that:
While there, I also recorded a brief Word about Easter Saturday:
It was a powerful night. I heard reports that people prayed to receive Jesus and that there was even physical healing. So thankful too to partner with a local body like Hope International. The most meaningful moment for me though was seeing Max, a young man whom I led to the Lord at Riverwalk about a month ago. This was us that night:
The night we met, he came up to me and started asking me questions about the Lord and I spoke with him for about an hour. He was super hungry, and he received everything I shared with him. When he came back last Saturday, he told me that he had been implementing the advice I gave him, including breaking up with his unbelieving girlfriend. That night I also introduced him to Pastor Ron, and he is now getting discipleship through Hope International. So cool!
On Resurrection Sunday morning, before we went to FOB, I got super fired up by watching a worship service from outside the empty tomb in Jerusalem, which you can see here:
That night, there were SO many people at Siesta, and we had a powerful time. LOTS of people took tracts- way more than usual, many people stopped to listen, and I personally prayed with about 6 people to receive the Lord including a 14-year-old boy who boldly responded to the altar call, as well as 3 college guys who I ended up talking to for close to an hour at the end of the night.
Another cool thing about Sunday night was that I used an evangelism tool that I’d been thinking about using for a while but never had- the movie the Passion of the Christ. Check out the video below to see how we were able to project it onto the wall of the pavilion:
All in all, it was such a great weekend, and I want to give a BIG thank you to all the mighty warriors who came out- Karson, Gene, Amber, Thom, Laney, Cody, Nina, Ashley and the rest of the crew from HIM, Paul, Chris, Geraldine, Mike V, James, Tom, Julie, Mike M, Jeremiah, Jack and Rachael. You guys rock!
One last thing that has happened lately is that I’ve been invited a few times onto my friend Josh’s podcast to share my personal testimony as well as my ministry testimony. He has even offered to let me use his studio in the days ahead to record discipleship teachings, so please be praying about that.
Here’s my interview about my salvation story:
And here’s the one about the ministry:
We weaved in a number of practical lessons and takeaways into the conversations, so I believe they will both bless and inspire you!
Hope to see you again soon!! Love and blessings,
Chris
