April 9, 2016 // Los Angeles, California
As far as the eye can see, hands are reaching up to heaven. There’s a deafening roar as tens of thousands join together praising God and crying out for His manifest presence. The atmosphere is electric.
I look around the coliseum and see believers from every generation and background. The diversity brings tears to my eyes. The girl in front of me looks young, with a large rose tattoo on her left hand and the logo for a drug addict ministry on her shirt. Behind me is a man with his wife and young child. To the right is my lovely friend who came from Korea to be here. All of us stand together as the beautiful bride of Christ.

Blacks, Whites, Jews, Native Americans, and Hispanics are up on the stage, pillars and leaders in their respected communities. Too long have we shamed, abandoned or hurt one another in our own fallen nature. It’s time for reconciliation. We recognize that we are reconciled to the Father in Jesus Christ and therefore can be reconciled to one another. Public declarations of forgiveness and asking for forgiveness are breaking the chains of oppression over this land. In this hour, we stand together as the church, united. (2 Cor. 5:18)
//
Pairs of shoes lifted high above heads all around the stadium accompany mine, declaring a covenant before heaven. I am part of a generation hungry to be set apart for the Kingdom. Jesus, here I am. I will be your messenger. I desire to be divinely interrupted for Your glory. (Matt. 20:19-20)

Wheelchairs that have been occupied for years have lost their owners. Hearing has returned to soldiers left with deafness from IED’s. Sports injuries in the joints have disappeared. Those plagued with the spirit of suicide have been set free. Multitudes are experiencing the power of the living God manifest in their bodies. There is true freedom in this place as the chains of physical and spiritual oppression are broken. This is the power of the Gospel. He delights in manifesting His love through healing. (Matt. 10:8)

God is doing a powerful thing at this hour; it’s time to join in the movement! These snippets of the Azusa Now event put on by The Call at the LA Coliseum on April 9th are just a fraction of how God is moving right now. If you need some encouragement, healing, direction, etc., I ask you to watch part or all of the event. I promise you, you’ll be glad you did.
There is a call of action going out to the church in this hour to pray and cry out for the revival in the name of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The call is going out for you to rise up and take your place. How will you respond?
