Don’t Wait; Prepare for Revival NOW

In this past Friday’s post entitled The Danger of Identity Politics, I stated, “The assassination of Charlie Kirk will now galvanize a movement. He is now a far greater threat to those who hated him than he ever dreamed of being when he was alive on earth. The love of God and country that Charlie possessed – and so infectiously transmitted – will multiply. That which he played a significant role in birthing, will now grow and mature into adulthood. This cannot be stopped – the seed is in the ground, and will be nurtured by God.” 

Later that day, in an incredibly brave and strong statement, Charlie’s wife, Erika, said of his killer and those who may have been involved, “You have no idea what you have unleashed.”

I have known that the great revival God spoke of to me several years ago – and I’m sure to many others – has begun. I also knew it was in its early stages and that somehow a momentum shift would be coming soon. I had no idea whatsoever that it would be through an event like this. Who could have guessed that one man’s martyrdom would light the fuse of worldwide revival? But it has, and it will not be stopped. That is what the Lord spoke to me the week of 9/11/01 when He gave me a vision of this upcoming revival. As I saw the outpouring, blazing with uncontrollable holy fire on campuses all over the nation, He said, “This will not be stopped. I am coming to rescue a generation with the greatest revival in world history.”

Yesterday, a pastor friend of mine, Randy Lopshire, reminded me of a conversation we had a couple of years ago regarding changes the Lord was working within the church, preparing it for the coming harvest of young people. Randy said:

“I shared with you a word that Holy Spirit gave me a few years ago about two waves of spiritual harvest coming. The Lord said the first wave of harvest would be a ‘harvest of harvesters.’

“Holy Spirit said, ‘These are those from Gen Z, to whom I have already been speaking in their hearts, “priming the pump,” though most have had no idea it was even happening.’ The Lord then said, ‘I have also been preparing an element of My church to receive them, a people having no hint of religiosity they would have to encounter when they get there.’

“Randy said the Lord told him this first wave of harvest would grow in the things of God VERY quickly and, in turn, be sent right back out to reap the ‘BIG world-wide harvest of lost and hurting.’”

Randy added, “We’d been praying over and processing that word for about a year when one Sunday, Gina Gholston happened to be attending our service and heard me reference the word. She came to me afterwards and said she’d had a dream the night before where she was looking out from the loft of a barn. Someone approached her and said, ‘What you’re looking at is not the harvest…It’s a “harvest of harvesters.”’

“I woke up this morning around 2:00 A.M.,” Randy said, “and was reminded of that dream. Just before I went to bed, I’d heard several people comment that on this past Sunday, masses of young people attended church all over the world.

“The Lord said to me, ‘This is the first wave!’”

Make no mistake: this is not about Charlie Kirk. And he would say the same thing if he were able to speak to us. It’s not about his popularity, though he was tremendously popular. It’s not about his incredible intellect and abilities, though he possessed those as well. This is supernatural. God has orchestrated and prepared the hearts of millions for what He’s about to do, and He used Charlie’s tragic death to light the fuse. The Lord Himself is overseeing the process, and that is why it will not end. My advice to the church: GET READY!! Prepare now!

Some believers have been preparing their hearts for this revival, even making practical preparations, but others have not. Wake up and see what is coming!!! Yes, there will be opposition; there may be more martyrs here in America, just as there are now in other nations. But this will not stop what God is doing; a generation is being raised up who will love not their lives, even unto death (Revelation 12:11). Just like Charlie, they will gladly pay whatever price is necessary for the cause of Christ. The greatest world-changing generation the world has ever seen is now being raised up. This is what people mean when they say “There will be a million more Charlie Kirks.” They are not saying that people will try to emulate his gifts and methods, but that they will follow his example of commitment, boldness, fearlessness, love for Christ and His cause. 

Do not be distracted by those who spew hate and mock Charlie’s death. Stay focused on the cause, the mission. Even as you process pain and anger, do not allow bitterness and hatred to overtake your heart. Jesus said of those who “martyred” Him, “Father forgive them, they know not what they do,” (Luke 23:34). Early church martyr, Stephen, when the stones were pummeling his body, followed his Master’s example and forgave his murderers (Acts 7:60). We must realize that those people and millions of others have been lied to by dishonest leaders in government, education, and media – both on TV and on social media platforms. They’ve been convinced of things about God and Christians that simply aren’t true. The Lord will bring His light to this and His salvation to many of them. We are about to see Isaiah 60:1-4 (KJV) fulfilled:

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.”

Light. Glory. Life. Get ready!

Pray with me:

Father, we ask You once again to heal hurting hearts across America and the earth. We pray especially for the family and friends of Charlie Kirk. Cause the grief to pass through them gently, infused with Your comfort and grace. Jesus endured the Cross because of the joy it would bring Him later (Hebrews 12:2). Enable Charlie’s friends and family to look beyond the pain and see the good You will bring from His death. We know this will not eliminate the pain, but it will infuse them with hope, purpose, and comfort.

And Father, You told us in Scripture that when we recognized it was time for spiritual rain, the outpouring of Holy Spirit, we were to ask You for it (Zachariah 10:1). It is time, and we are asking: Send the rain! A deluge of spiritual rain, released upon the dry bones of the earth, giving them light and life. We know we’re about to see a fulfillment of Ezekiel 37 – bring it!!!

And we pray for the church. Prepare us further to deal with the harvest that has begun and is increasing. Give us wineskins capable of accepting – not only the excitement – but the problems and changes that come with millions of newborns. And deliver us from all religiosity. The generation coming to You will not want religion, systems, and formalities; they will want to be introduced to YOU and Your ways. Give us great wisdom and flexible wineskins. All of this we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that the wind of Holy Spirit is now blowing on the dry bones of the earth, giving them life. (Ezekiel 37)
