While ministering in Springfield, Massachusetts, the Lord shifted something in me. What began as a word I believe was first aimed at Habitation Church in New York City, I now believe is a word for the wider body of Christ: We are no longer in the part of Ezekiel 47 where the water is rising to the ankles, the knees, or the waist. We are stepping into the depth where the river becomes uncontainable!
Read MoreWhen I pray, "Do it again," I am not asking for a repeat of revival's greatest hits.
I am not asking God to rewind history and replay 1741 Enfield, or 1904 Wales, or 1906 Azusa Street. Those moves of God were for their moment. They were real, they were weighty, and they changed the world in ways we are still benefiting from today. But I am not praying for a reenactment.
I am asking for the Spirit of God to do something landscape-changing in our world today. In our cities. In our nations. Now.
Read MoreWhat I witnessed at Samford University is not a novelty event or an isolated moment. It is one example of the Holy Spirit picking up a thread that was left when the Jesus People Movement of the 1970s crested — and He is accelerating it. The same hunger. The same raw, unpolished desperation. The same power to transform a life in a single moment. It’s happening… and more is coming!
Read MoreWhen darkness looms — when secularism advances and we find ourselves in seasons where good is called evil and evil is called good — the answer has never been more political strategy, more clever messaging, or more human ingenuity. It has always been this: appeal to Heaven.
Read MoreLarry Sparks shares the message of The River is Rising at Trinity Church (Trinity Young Adults) and during a “prayer tunnel” at the close of the service, they experience a stunning outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon GenZ.
Truly, one of the most powerful services I’ve ever been part of!
Read MoreWhile ministering at All Nations Church in Dublin, Ireland, we witnessed an outstanding outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon Gen Z and the young adults. The River is Rising!
Read MoreTheology without fire is not Biblical. A Christianity marked by all experience and no Bible knowledge is just as dangerous as a Christianity that is all theology and no experience. The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart so clearly, giving what I believe is the solution to a form of godliness without power: Pentecostal Fire. It’s not optional and it’s not a side item. May every word you read in Scripture ignite your heart to burn to experience the fullness of what the Bible says is available.
Read MoreWe need to go back to our Scripture-grounded, supernatural roots in order to move with supernatural momentum into the future. Something shifted in the last 30 years that needs to be corrected so we can pick up where the great Healing Revival of the late 1940’s left off, and move with power and effectiveness into the future—a future that Jesus envisioned for His people when He introduced the possibility of those who believe in His Name doing “even greater works.”
Read MoreDesperate intercession pulls tomorrow into today. Desperation refuses to live without the touch of God. Desperation refuses to be satisfied with daily Bible readings that are not becoming living demonstration in and through our lives. Desperation is not satisfied with the fact that the saints in the Old Testament seemingly enjoyed greater measures of God’s glory and presence then we are experiencing today. Desperation refuses to acknowledge that the healing evangelists of yesteryears, from John G. Lake to Smith Wigglesworth to Oral Roberts represented the ceiling or pinnacle of what’s possible in Christ. Desperation recognizes there is more—and furthermore, compels a person, like the woman in Mark 7, to take desperate action.
Read MoreGod is on the move in New England! In fact, the Holy Spirit poured out with such power and intensity, some of our meetings in West Springfield, MASS went into a whole other dimension… and as a result, some pretty unusual things happened.
Read MoreWhile watching a recent service at Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia (online), the Holy Spirit gripped me deeply. I was not expecting this prophetic word to come forth, but nevertheless, it started to bubble up out of me. I sensed that what I was watching during Hillsong’s “Holy Spirit Night” with Guatemalan apostolic leader, Cash Luna, was a prophetic picture of what the Spirit of the Lord was pouring out to whosoever wanted it in the days ahead. No one is safe from revival and awakening.
Read MoreConstant prayer is what takes us from theology to demonstration. Intercession is what places a demand on what we claim to believe, and says, “Lord, we will not cease or relent in prayer until what You said happens and what You promised is released.” Intercession says, “I’m tired of talking; I want to see what God said actually happen.” Constant prayer is until prayer.

Read MoreIn November of 2012, I had an unforgettable experience at Bethel Church in Redding, Calif., that completely rocked my world. This experience was hardly limited to just me or even those attending that particular service. Supernatural phenomena has been gaining momentum in places like Bethel and in other houses of worship across the globe. The physical, visible glory of God is being revealed in an increasing measure—and rather than approach it with immediate skepticism, I believe we need to adopt an entirely new approach to supernatural phenomena and unusual manifestations of God’s presence.
Read MoreIn the midst of California’s moral darkness and mounting opposition towards the Christian faith, the Holy Spirit is raising up a remnant. Birthed in the fires of revival, these men and women become ignited to carry the power and presence of God into every sphere of society where Satan has had an uncontested and unchallenged stronghold. And I prophesy that out of the most unexpected and adversarial places in the world, the Lord will raise up and deploy His people. Let it be so, and let it begin in California!
Read MoreI prophesy that the Lord is restoring the ROAR of praise, for the ROAR of praise and the SHOUT of the King will empower the people of God to war victoriously against the prevailing spirit of fear that is contaminating the Earth.
Read MoreMany are crying out for another Jesus People Movement. Their intentions are pure and noble, but I’ve got to be honest—I don’t want another Jesus People Movement unless it comes with a moral and cultural reformation. In the 1960’s and 1970’s, we saw two landscape-changing moves of God - the Charismatic Renewal and the Jesus People Movement. Both were meant to be seeds that changed the world and, I believe, prepared the way for Jesus’ return. Sadly, the “third move” that was purposed to follow Renewal and Revival did not happen. Will WE in 2020 and beyond choose to be a people who become this third move of the Holy Spirit?
