THE UNTOLD VICTORY
Phoenix was a massive victory. If you saw the videos, you know. This tent crusade set records for livestream views. The thousands who attended are eye witnesses. It was a victory!
But I am praying that God will show you just how big a victory it was. I believe that Paul was trying to do something similar when he prayed for the Ephesian church.
He said, “…the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power” (Ephesians 1:18,19).
In fact, if you knew all of the headwinds that crusades face today it would shock you.
In the same way, Phoenix was a greater victory than you know. You see, experts say what happened in Phoenix cannot happen today. They claim the day of mass soul winning crusades is gone. But they are only one threat.
In fact, if you knew all of the headwinds that crusades face today it would shock you. The truth is, soul winning crusades have the most enemies of any Christian endeavor.
Here is just a short list of threats to crusades:
-Division between churches.
-The hatred of the media.
-Trends that claim Americans are turning away from God.
-Venues that persecute Christians.
-Past abuses in crusades
-Satan
In the light of all these things, the crusade in Phoenix was a much bigger victory. It shattered the lie that churches cannot work together. It destroyed the myth that people are not hungry to be saved. Most of all, it shows that Americans are not listening to the media.
We are all disturbed by the recent ‘stage’ behavior in churches. So much carnal foolishness to attract a crowd. The format in the Tent goes against the grain of all of that.
But there is more. We are all disturbed by the recent ‘stage’ behavior in churches. So much carnal foolishness to attract a crowd. The format in the Tent goes against the grain of all of that.
By comparison, there are no gimmicks. The preaching is based on and saturated with scripture. We have no smoke machines or strobe lights. In short, we are violating all of the marketing principles that supposedly draw a crowd. But we are getting the crowds!
Therefore, we can rejoice that God has made us into a weapon of mass conversion. We having meetings that are led by the Holy Spirit. We can go forward knowing that a vast harvest awaits us and nothing can stop the power of the Holy Spirit.
Rejoice with us that this ministry is moving with furious faith into a great awakening!
