The Gate of Miracles Is Open

My brother, Tim, and several other leaders (myself included) are conducting another Healing Summit tonight in Middletown, Ohio, at the Oasis Church. There are still a few seats available if you would like to join us live, (you can register at OasisWired.org) and thousands will join us via livestream. Also, many churches are planning to join us via livestream and will pray for individuals themselves as we do so in Middletown. We believe many healings will occur throughout the nation tonight, and gifts of the Spirit will be imparted to individuals for their ongoing representation of Christ.

Miracles can be ministered and received in several ways. The anointing of the Holy Spirit in us can be transferred to others through touching them (referred to in the King James translation as “laying on hands;” Mark 16:18). James 5:14 tells believers to call for elders to pray for them: “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” (James 5:14-15; KJV)

Miracles are sometimes ministered through the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians chapter 12. Verses 9 and 10 specifically speak of “gifts of healing” and “the working of miracles.” Another method is seen in the book of Acts where Paul prayed over handkerchiefs that were given to sick people. When applied to their bodies, the anointing that had gone into the handkerchief went into them and they were healed. “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.” (Acts 19:11-12; KJV)

Miracles can also be received directly from Holy Spirit, with no one involved other than the recipient. “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” (Mark 11:23-24; KJV)

Miracles can be released simply through speaking God’s word in faith. “He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions,” (Psalm 107:20; KJV). “The centurion answered and said, ‘Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.’ And Jesus said unto the centurion, ‘Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.’ And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.” (Matthew 8:8, 13)

I encourage all believers to begin stepping out in faith and asking for healings and miracles. Pray for family members, coworkers (with their permission, of course, and at an appropriate place and time), friends, and others. People need not be believers in order to receive a miracle. One of the stated purposes for miracles in Mark 16 and throughout the book of Acts is to provide “signs and wonders.”

Let’s not allow the reason for failing to receive a miracle be that we did not ask for it: “…ye have not, because ye ask not,” (James 4:2; KJV). Although we will not see or experience a miracle every time we pray for someone, I assure you that healings and miracles are beginning to multiply. Allow your faith to be stretched – ask.

It Is Time

In Acts chapter 3, Peter prayed for a man who had been born lame. He was over 40 years old. It was a horrible and sad condition. As a young boy, his family placed him at one of the temple gates named “Beautiful,” where he daily begged for alms (Acts 3:2). Because of the gate’s location, Jesus had to have passed by this man dozens – if not hundreds – of times without healing him. Yet on this day, Peter was led by Holy Spirit to do so.

Interestingly, the Greek word translated “beautiful” in this verse does not mean beauty in the sense of attractiveness. It means “right time” (horaios). The concept of beauty in the word stems from events coming together in the right way, at the right time, and thereby creating something beautiful. It was “The Right Time” gate.

Think about the “beauty” of this. Holy Spirit orchestrated the naming of this gate – “The Right Time;” He made certain that the lame man’s family chose this as his place to daily sit and beg; and He led Jesus not to perform the miracle, saving it for just “the right time.” The early church needed a miracle, a sign and wonder of incredible proportions to verify throughout Jerusalem and all of Israel that Jesus was, indeed, the Messiah, and that He rose from the dead. All of Israel knew of this man, and they knew that the astounding miracle had taken place in the name of Jesus. He was the Messiah, and He was alive!

Many believe we have entered a “right time” season of the miraculous. I am one of them. I encourage you to believe for your healing, and for the healing of others. And please join your faith with us that people will be healed tonight, and that gifts of healing will be released throughout the Earth for ongoing healing and miracles. 

Pray with me:

Father, You are omnipotent, all-powerful. Jesus is the Lord, our Healer. He bore our punishment for the curse of sin and sickness. We thank You, Father, for sending Him to do so; and Jesus, we thank You for paying this price. We ask You now for great manifestations of this redemption to be released into the earth. We ask for signs, wonders, and miracles to occur in the name of Jesus.

We also ask for deliverances to take place, that those who are bound by drugs, habits, confusion, and other types of strongholds would be delivered by Your mighty power. Awaken in the church the spirit of revelation to produce greater faith in Your redeeming work. Bring a fresh revelation of the power of the blood of Jesus to forgive, heal and deliver.

As a fresh wave of evangelism moves across our nation and the nations of the world, give to many believers gifts of healing and the working of miracles. Give them the gift of faith and words of knowledge to accompany these healing gifts. May thousands of “right time” miracles take place around the world. We agree with Your prophets and we state our faith, “It is time for miracles!” We pray these things in the name of Yeshua, our healer.

Our decree:

We declare that the “right time” gate of miracles is open!

Jesus People: Round Two

The Jesus People movement of the 1970s was not merely a fleeting trend or a cultural phenomenon; it was a sovereign move of God, a divine awakening that transformed the hearts of a generation and set the stage for the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit beginning today. The 1960s and early 1970s were tumultuous times. The world was wrestling with war, social upheaval, and a deep sense of disillusionment. The counterculture movement, with its rebellion against authority and traditional values, swept across America and beyond. Young people were searching for meaning, identity, and purpose, amid chaos and confusion. Many turned to drugs, free love, and Eastern philosophies, seeking fulfillment in all the wrong places.

But God planned to use the disillusionment and hunger. In the midst of this spiritual darkness, a divine light was about to dawn. In His mercy, God was about to impact a generation hungry for truth—desperate for salvation—ready to encounter the living Christ.

The Birth of a Movement

The Jesus People movement burst forth in the late 1960s and early 1970s, beginning in California but quickly spreading across the nation and around the world. It was characterized by young people who encountered Jesus Christ and experienced radical life transformation. These were not just casual converts; they were a generation of worshippers set ablaze with divine fire, eager to share the Gospel with passion and authenticity.

At the heart of this movement was a simple yet profound truth: Jesus Christ is Lord, Savior, and King. The streets, campuses, and hippie communes became the battlegrounds of revival. The Jesus People were known for their love, their radical devotion, and their willingness to live out their faith boldly in every sphere of life.

The movement was largely grassroots; however, leaders and moments helped propel it forward. People like Hubert Lindsey, who preached on numerous campuses and led many young people to Christ, Lonnie Frisbee in California, Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel, and many others became prophetic voices, leading young believers into encounters with the Holy Spirit. The “Jesus Festivals,” street evangelism, and house church gatherings became common expressions of this revival.

Explo ’72, held June 12-17, 1972, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, was widely regarded as the apex of the movement, drawing a massive crowd and receiving extensive media attention. Organized by Campus Crusade for Christ, its purpose was to train high school and college students in evangelism. Initially called the “International Student Congress on Evangelism,” it was billed as Explo ’72 and became the largest youth evangelism training conference in church history. Estimates range as high as 200,000 attendees. It was known as “The Christian Woodstock”, with notable participants such as Billy Graham, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Love Song, Larry Norman, Andrae Crouch, and more. This, and other such gatherings, demonstrated that God was doing something unprecedented—His Spirit was pouring out upon a generation that was seeking truth.(1)

The Power of the Holy Spirit

Central to the Jesus People movement was an emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s empowerment. Many young believers experienced the baptism in the Spirit, speaking in tongues, and divine healings. The movement was characterized by an openness to the supernatural, a hunger for the gifts of the Spirit, and a desire to see lives radically transformed by the power of God.

But be assured that this Spirit-led revival was not just about emotionalism; it was about encounters with the living Christ—personal, transforming, and revolutionary. It was about awakening a sleeping church and igniting a new wave of disciples who would carry the Gospel into every corner of society.

The Jesus People movement made a significant cultural impact. It challenged the church to become more relevant and engage with the lost and hurting. It sparked a fresh emphasis on worship, evangelism, prayer, and holiness. Many of the leaders emerging from this movement went on to influence church planting, missions, and revival across the globe.

Moreover, the movement fueled its counterpart, the charismatic renewal, opening the door for a renewed emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s gifts and power within the body of Christ around the world.

Only God could have caused such a phenomenon. It was not merely human effort or cultural rebellion; it was divine orchestration—God’s mercy pouring out upon a generation in desperate need. And the Jesus People movement was a sign, a foretaste, of what God desires to do in our day—the coming of a fresh, sovereign outpouring of His Spirit.

In the words of Joel 2:28, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh.” The Spirit of revival is stirring again. The same Spirit that moved in the 1970s is calling us to rise up, to pray, to evangelize, and to seek His face with renewed fervor. As we reflect on this historic movement, let’s remember that the Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). His purposes are unchanging. He is faithful to awaken the sleeping church and to raise up a new generation of radical followers of Christ.

The Jesus People movement was a divine catalyst—a reminder that no one is beyond salvation, that God specializes in transforming the broken, the lost, and the hopeless. It was a prophetic reminder that revival begins in the hearts of ordinary people who yield to the extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit.

I encourage you to prepare your heart for another, greater movement. Allow the Holy Spirit to ignite a fresh fire within you. Prepare to reach out to our communities, to see people saved, and to see the church awakened to her divine calling. 

Let us renew our commitment to pray, to seek God with all our hearts, and to be His vessels for this revival. Holy Spirit is being poured out once again. The harvest is plentiful, and the fields are white unto harvest (John 4:35). The Lord is looking for willing instruments - people like you and me - who will say, “Yes, Lord, use me.”

In Conclusion

The Jesus People movement of the 1970s was more than a historical event; it was a divine awakening—a spiritual revival that transformed lives, churches, and cultures. It was a sign of God’s grace and power breaking into a generation in desperate need. Today, we stand on the shoulders of those early revivalists, called to carry the flame of revival forward.

Let’s embrace the challenge and be bold in our faith. And let us believe that the best days are still ahead! The Spirit of revival is alive—ready to fall afresh upon us, our nation, and the nations. Let us prepare our hearts and step into the fullness of what God has for us, knowing that His purposes will prevail.

The Lord reigns. His Spirit is moving. Revival is here.

Pray with me:

Father, as we reflect on what You did in the 60s and 70s with the youth of America, we marvel at Your ability to orchestrate, initiate, and coordinate outpourings of Your Spirit. We thank You for the great revivals of the past, but we know they are to lead us to more and greater revivals. You are always in increasing and expanding Your unstoppable Kingdom.

As You promised, You are now moving among the youth of America. Thousands are turning to You, being baptized, attending worship gatherings, and falling in love with Jesus. But not only are You moving among the youth, You are also moving in our nation’s capital, exposing corruption and restoring prayer to the White House, Congress, and many other government agencies. 

We ask for all of this to continue and increase. Cause the harvest to multiply exponentially, and hunger for You to become insatiable. Increase levels of power and the gifts of Your Spirit, causing signs and wonders to take place throughout the earth. Raise up thousands of anointed evangelists, filled with Your Spirit and holy fire. We boldly proclaim that this will take place, and we thank You for it. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Our decree:

We decree that our sovereign and merciful God is sending a tidal wave of redeeming love to the earth.

A Dream Regarding Protection

Holy Spirit gave our friend, Gina Gholston, a dream Monday morning regarding our prayers for protection from terrorist attacks. Here is a portion of the dream. (You can find the entire dream at the end of today’s post.) 

“I dreamed I was sitting at an outdoor table, having dinner with some pastors and church leaders…As we were eating and talking, something came down from the sky, tightly gripped my shoulders, lifted me up, and began carrying me to another location. I wasn’t scared or startled by this. It felt important, and I knew I needed to be alert and attentive. 

“It carried me to what looked like the Hoover Dam. As I hovered over this location, I looked down and could see people walking around at the base of the dam. They were dressed in solid black jumpsuits, and each of them held a black AK-47 and had a weapon strapped to their leg. Covering their heads was a rubber mask that looked like the head of a growling gray wolf. [Wolves symbolize a range of qualities. Different cultures hold varying interpretations, with some viewing wolves as symbols of danger or evil, as in the phrase “lone wolf,” used to refer to terrorists.]

“Next to them, I noticed a large wooden barrel, like a wooden slat wine barrel. I somehow knew this barrel was a large “powder keg” filled with very potent explosives. I also knew it had been set to detonate. 

“On top of the dam, I could see more people walking around. However, I knew these people were intercessors, and they were there on assignment, praying specifically over the dams and the waterways. 

“As I was hovering above the scene, I suddenly saw a huge white sheet come floating down. The sheet covered the wooden barrel filled with explosives just as it was detonated. Though powerful and very loud, the explosion was held within the sheet, and no damage was done. I looked around, and the people in the black jumpsuits were gone. The intercessors continued to pray, unmoved and unshaken by the blast. I’m not sure they were even aware it had happened.”

Dutch’s Comments

The dream continued, and Gina was carried to several more locations where the same scenario was observed: masked people dressed in black, carrying weapons, the barrel of explosives, intercessors, and a white sheet protecting the places and people from the blasts. The other locations where she was carried included a subway transit station, a large church building, an electrical power station, a train station, and a port/shipping yard. After being taken to each of these places and observing the scenes, Gina was returned to dinner with the leaders. She concludes her account of the dream by saying:

“One of the leaders asked, ‘Where did you go?’

“I said, ‘I have seen things that we need to know. Intercessors are alert, positioned, and doing their part; their prayers are working! We need to know what is happening! Intercessors and angels are on assignment, covering the nations, but we need to be alert about what is happening.’

“I then looked at one of the leaders and said, ‘We need to tell Dutch and Ceci what is happening!’

“Then in the dream, Chuck Pierce walked up beside me, and stated, ‘The Lord let you see what is happening, and this is how it will be. No weapon formed will prosper . . . IF we’ll pray. And no weapon yet to be formed will prosper . . . IF we’ll pray.’

“I said, ‘We are praying.’

“Chuck replied, ‘Then, no weapon formed will prosper, and no weapon yet to be formed will prosper.’ (End of dream.)

The meaning of the dream is clear, and I’m sure the part about telling Ceci and me was so that we could inform you. The Lord wants to encourage intercessors that what they have prayed is accomplishing its goal. Prayer “coverings” are in place. Attacks meant to steal, kill, and destroy are being thwarted through our appeals to heaven. Well done! 

He is also saying that we must continue to be diligent in praying, sustaining the prayer coverings we have created. What is built by prayer must be sustained by prayer. Chuck’s word is significant: “No weapon formed will prosper, and no weapon YET TO BE FORMED will prosper… if we pray” (referring to Isaiah 54:17).

We have…and we will. 

The Upcoming Healing Summit 

Not only are our prayers being used to “cover” the nation, they are also birthing the coming revival, which will be accompanied by great signs and wonders. In light of this, we are hosting another Healing Summit this upcoming Friday night in Middletown, Ohio, at Oasis Church (6/27/25). There are still a few seats available if you would like to join us live, and of course, we expect thousands will join us via livestream. You can register at OasisWired.org. Additionally, many churches are planning to join us via livestream, hosting their own events, and will pray for individuals in their gatherings as we do in Middletown. We are asking for great grace and great power to be released Friday night. 

The Book of Acts chronicles the early church’s powerful expansion through the work of Holy Spirit. Central to this narrative are the miraculous signs and wonders performed by believers, which served as both confirmation of their divine mission and catalysts for the growth of the church. Acts 4:33 stands as a profound declaration of their experience of divine power: “And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all” (KJV).

This verse encapsulates two key forces: the “great power” exercised by the apostles and the “great grace” bestowed upon them.

“Great” is the Greek word “megás”(1) and is the root of the English word “mega,” denoting something immense, powerful, or grand in scale. Its use in this context highlights that the church’s witness was beyond natural abilities, marked by an overwhelming, divine quality that set it apart from human efforts. It underscores the magnitude of God’s presence working through them, transforming their words and actions into signs of divine authority.

The Context of Acts 4:33

Acts 4 occurs shortly after Peter and John performed an extraordinary miracle, healing a lame man at the temple gate, Beautiful (Acts 3:1-10). Their subsequent bold proclamation of Jesus’ resurrection enraged the religious authorities, leading to their arrest. The apostles were commanded to cease preaching, but they and other believers responded by praying for boldness. The place where they were gathered was literally shaken by Holy Spirit, encouraging them to continue speaking God’s Word with “boldness” (Acts 4:31). It is within this context that Acts 4:33 emphasizes the extraordinary power and grace that characterized the witness of the early church to Christ’s resurrection. 

We must experience no less if we are to demonstrate to the world today that Christ is alive and the gospel is true. Let’s pray.

Pray with me:

Father, I am very grateful for the army of intercessors You have raised up around the world. There are thousands in America, and millions around the world. The church is growing in her understanding that we are partners with You in the great cause of Christ. Thank You for their sacrifices, their commitment, their unselfish hearts, and their passion for Your cause.

I ask You now to give them tenacity, perseverance, and great discernment as they stay the course, never wavering. I pray that You will lead them in their prayers, and that every location they should visit during this time will be visited. I am reminded that as we “painted” the borders of our nation, some who could not physically go to places and pray, unfolded maps and anointed them with oil, praying in their homes for Your protection. Again, bless these faithful ones, and orchestrate all prayers that are needed now. 

We pray for the service in Ohio this upcoming Friday night, as well as for every other group gathered and every individual watching online. Give us great grace and great power: heal the sick, deliver the oppressed, and impart gifts of Holy Spirit to many in order for signs and wonders to take place throughout the world. We ask for this in the holy name of Jesus. Amen.

Our decree: 

We decree that America’s borders, electrical grid, water and related structures, as well as individuals, are “painted” with the anointing oil of Holy Spirit, and covered by the blood of Jesus.

Dream Regarding Protection 

Gina Gholston

June 23, 2025

“I dreamed I was at a restaurant sitting at an outdoor table, having dinner with some pastors and church leaders. Our table was located on a patio outside. It was at dusk, and there were stringed lights above us—just a very relaxed atmosphere.

“All of a sudden, as we were eating and talking, something came down from the sky, tightly gripped my shoulders, and lifted me up. I could feel and hear the swishing of wind being created by what sounded like giant wings flapping. I am not sure what it was that had hold of me, but whatever it was, it lifted me and began to carry me to another location. I wasn’t scared or startled by this. It felt important, and I knew I needed to be alert and attentive. 

“It carried me to what looked like the Hoover Dam. I could see the dam. I was still being held by the shoulders and was hovering over this location. I looked down, and I could see people walking around at the base of the dam. I don’t know if they were men, women, or both, but they were dressed in solid black jumpsuits, and each one of them held, with both hands, a black AK-47 across their chest, pointing upward at a 45° angle. They each also had a weapon inside a holster strapped to their leg. Covering their heads was a rubber mask that looked like the head of a growling gray wolf. 

“Next to them, I then noticed a large wooden barrel (like a wooden-slat wine barrel). I somehow knew this barrel was a large “powder keg,” filled with very potent explosives. I knew it had been set to detonate. 

“On top of the dam, I could see more people walking around. However, I knew these people were intercessors, and they were there on assignment, praying specifically over the dams and the waterways. 

“As I was hovering above the scene, I suddenly saw a huge white sheet floating down. The sheet covered that wooden barrel that was filled with explosives, just as it was detonated. Though large and very loud, the explosion was held within the sheet, and no damage was done. I then looked around, and those people in the black jumpsuits were gone. The intercessors were still praying, unmoved and unshaken by the blast. I’m not even sure they were even aware it had happened.

“Then, still being gripped by whatever it was that was carrying me by my shoulders, I was taken to a subway transit station in what looked like, maybe, New York City. It was very busy at this location as hundreds of people were there, rushing around. Here in this location, the same thing that happened at the dam was happening here. I saw those same people in the black jumpsuits, with the AK-47s, and I could see a large wooden barrel that I knew was filled with explosives. I could see intercessors walking around, praying over our rail systems in America. I then saw a white sheet dropping down just as the explosives were detonated, but again, the explosion did not do any damage. It was loud and startling, but the blast was contained under the sheet. And the same thing happened here, as at the dam, the people in the black jumpsuits were then gone, but the intercessors remained unshaken and undeterred by the blast.

“As I was being carried from there to another location, in my mind (in this dream), I thought, ‘I had another dream one time about a white sheet being dropped in various locations throughout America. I wonder if this has something to do with that?’ I began to think deeply, trying to remember what that other dream had been about, and I said, out loud (in this dream), ‘Those sheets had something to do with decrees being made. There was a word written on each sheet, and I remember that one of them had the word ‘SAVED’ written on it.’ 

“Then, whatever was lifting and carrying me stopped, and I was hovering over another location. This time, I had been brought to a very large church building. High above the location, I could see that the parking lots were filled with vehicles, so I knew there were probably thousands of people inside the building. Outside, I could see that those people dressed in black jumpsuits with rubber wolf masks on their heads were walking around with AK-47s in their hands. It was as if they were patrolling the site, waiting to sacrifice their own lives as martyrs for their cause. In this location, there were two huge barrels, ‘powder kegs.’ One was situated on the front right corner of the building, and the other was placed on the left back corner of the building. 

“At this location, I knew the intercessors were inside the building. I somehow knew they were not just having a regular “church meeting,” but these people were in deep intercessory prayer, releasing with faith and authority prayers for and Spirit-led decrees over the Body of Christ in America and around the world. 

“The same thing happened here as it had at the other locations: a large, white sheet fell, but this time, it covered the whole church, instead of just the large, explosive kegs. The kegs were detonated, the blast was loud and powerful, but there was no damage. The people in the black jumpsuits were gone, but the intercessors remained in their position and engaged in their prayers and decrees. 

“Then I began to be carried away from that scene. As I was moving, I remembered the other dream about the sheets being dropped in various locations throughout America, and I thought, ‘One of those sheets in that dream fell over a large church. I remember seeing the outline of a steeple when it fell.’ 

“I was lifted and carried to three more locations in this dream: an electrical power station, a train station, and a port, a shipping yard, in which I could see ships and 18-wheelers being loaded and unloaded. I could see thousands of shipping containers stacked everywhere. The exact same things happened at each of these locations as had happened at the other locations: the people in the black jumpsuits patrolling, the intercessors praying, the large ‘powder keg’ set to detonate, the large sheet falling, and the blasts being contained, being unsuccessful in their mission. The people in the black jumpsuits left, the intercessors remained.

“Then, whatever it was that was carrying me, took me back to my original location and sat me back down in my seat at the table where I was having dinner with those pastors and church leaders. I don’t know who all of the pastors and leaders were, but one of them looked at me and asked, ‘Where did you go?’

“I said, ‘I have seen things that we need to know. Intercessors are alert, they are positioned, they are doing their part, and their prayers are working!’ 

“I continued, ‘We need to know what is happening! Intercessors and angels are on assignment, covering the nations, but we need to be alert about what is happening.’ 

“I then looked at one of the leaders, and I said, ‘We need to tell Dutch and Ceci what is happening!’ 

“Then, Chuck Pierce walked up beside me and said, ‘The Lord let you see what is happening, and this is how it will be. No weapon formed will prosper… IF we’ll pray. And no weapon yet to be formed will prosper… IF we’ll pray.’

“I replied, ‘We are praying.’

“Chuck said, ‘Then, no weapon formed will prosper, and no weapon yet to be formed will prosper.’”

End of dream.
