Happy Thursday Fam! Hope all is Glorious!
What a time to be alive.
Lately, I’ve been stirred by the Lord to re-read the testimonies of national revival that took place in the Old Testament, and it truly feels like we are in the midst of one in America.
Not only are there MANY young people coming to Christ across America (like I wrote about last week-Team Jesus Update- January 23rd, 2025 – Awaken941) but we are also seeing modern day versions of altars to other gods being torn down as well.
“Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. He removed the foreign altars and the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles.”
2 Chronicles 14:1-2
Just as a few examples, President Trump has decreed that our official national policy is that there are only 2 sexes:
He’s taken steps to end all “trans” surgeries on minors:
He took down the government website promoting abortion:
He backed our new Secretary of State Marco Rubio (after he preached the gospel in his acceptance speech) as he banned all pride flags and BLM flags being flown at US Embassies.
He implemented 3 pro-life policies, including ending taxpayer funding for abortion:

He pardoned 23 pro-life protestors who were unjustly imprisoned for standing up for the unborn:
And after he spoke briefly at the March for Life in DC, his Vice President JD Vance took the stage and boldly declared that America is a pro-life country:
And, on top of that, at the first White House Press Briefing, his Press Secretary proclaimed that the American “Revival” has already begun:
Interestingly, this is also happening as my hometown Kansas City Chiefs are heading back to the Super Bowl for the 3rd straight year and for the 5th time in 6 years. You may have heard of this, but back in the 80’s and 90’s (when the Chiefs were still terrible and hadn’t won a Super Bowl in decades), a prophetic man based in KC named Bob Jones- shared this prophetic word with several people:
As the Chiefs were preparing to play in the Super Bowl in 2020, this word resurfaced and went into the mainstream. You can read more about it here- Bolz Ministries | Prophet: Chiefs Super Bowl Is Sign of End-Times Revival
As you may know, the Chiefs won the Super Bowl that year and all throughout 2020, we had many signs of revival.
Then, they won again in 2023, on the 4th day of the Asbury Revival.
Then, they won again in 2024, and we saw revival sweep even further across the nation, particularly among the youth.
Now, they are poised to do what no team in history has ever done- win 3 in a row. It makes me think that we are in a time of historic and unprecedented revival.
Below is a message from last year where I shared a more detailed explanation about the fulfillment of this Word, and I think you’ll agree that it’s pretty remarkable how the Lord timed all these things to coincide, even down the exact day.
What else is interesting is that the family who owns the Chiefs, who are on fire for Jesus, actually know about this prophecy and even shared about it publicly after Sunday’s win:
She even shared this powerful testimony about their family and the team:
Pretty cool!
We definitely saw first-hand another sign of revival when we ministered at the Gasparilla Parade on Saturday:
The openness and the hunger for God was amazing to see. We had a team of 6 there for close to 9 hours and there were close to 15 there throughout the day. Most of us had conversations with people one after the other and I personally prayed with about 20 people to receive Jesus.
The interactions varied widely too. One girl who was Jewish, one guy who had never heard the gospel in his life, one woman and her 9-year-old daughter who had just started going to church but didn’t know much about Jesus, 3 college girls who felt like there must be something more, one college girl whose father was a minister and mistreated her, one guy who left the catholic church over their stance on IVF, one new age man who was struggling with the pain of losing his sister and battling thoughts of suicide, one guy who was a lukewarm believer stuck in sexual immorality, and on and on. Honestly, the 9 hours I was there totally flew by.
I also heard testimonies of physical healing, and I saw one guy fall to the ground and get delivered. It was quite a day.
We had some really great weather too. At 7am that morning, it was 37 degrees, and by the time we got there it was super sunny and had warmed up to the 60’s. God was all over the trip and I can’t wait to go back next year.
I was also so proud of the team who stayed behind and held down the Riverwalk while we were gone. I heard there were many Divine appointments there too, which is awesome.
On Sunday, we had more nice weather and the outreach started off with a bang when 5 kids responded to the altar call that I gave right off the bat:
They hung around for a while afterwards and they danced with us to the worship music. It was so fun!
A little while after, these four kids stopped by the gift table and got ministered to. They ended up praying to receive the Lord as well.
People were pretty warm to us throughout the rest of the night too and we got to hand out a lot of tracts. We also got to pray for some other people, including this guy who got touched so strongly by the Holy Spirit, that he was stuck in the position on the right for about 10 minutes:
Another cool thing that happened was that at the end of the night, a man came to me and told me that about a year ago, he walked by me while I was preaching and yelled “F*** God!” He told me that he was very sorry for doing that and he asked for my forgiveness. He told me that since that happened, he came to the Lord and was seeing changes. I commended him on his humility, and I got to minister to him before I left.
Pretty cool!
One other thing worth mentioning from the weekend, was a Divine appointment we had on Friday with a woman who was a believer. She told us that she had decided earlier that day to leave her husband due to her inability to get past old hurts, which were very legitimate. We counseled her for about 30 minutes and encouraged her to forgive her husband and stay with him. She cried as we prayed over her, and she was very thankful. We believe there’s a good chance that she reconsidered her decision because she could see that God had orchestrated it all.
BIG shoutout to all the mighty ones that came out this past weekend- Jack, Rachael, Mike, Rochelle, Chris, Geraldine, Kaitlyn, Ricardo, Renee, Kayla, Nahum, Asa, Brittany, Howie, Michelle, Amber, Mike M, Thom, Dave, Patrick, Anna, Chuck, Debbie and Michelle. Great work everyone!
We’ve got more beautiful weather forecasted for this weekend, so I’m sure we will have many people to minister to. We will definitely need all hands on deck so we hope to see you out there soon!
Love and blessings!
