The Fully Preached Gospel

Night two got off to a great start. When we pulled in there was a charter bus and many people getting off, walking into the tent. There was an electricity in the air as we anticipated how God would follow up the first night.

God’s presence was definitely in the tent. As Catherine and her band began to sing the people caught hold of it and began praising God. It was clear this would be another amazing night.

I love how the people engage with Catherine and her team. They fill the front altar area, dancing and singing and praising God. The best part are the children and young people that join in.

Mario jumped right into soul winning. He began by asking the people how many wanted to see a move of God tonight, and they all cheered.

He said someone once asked him what is the difference between Christianity and every other religion? And he gave an unexpected answer, that Jesus is the only religious leader with the power to stop Satan.

“I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.” John 17:15 (NKJV)

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV)

Mario pointed out the word “may” in the verse is different than the word “can”, because “may” speaks of permission. Satan has to have permission to destroy someone.

Satan does not care about your money, your looks, or your influence. He is unmoved by the idea of how important you think you are. He doesn’t care if you are the richest in the world, or a homeless person on the street.

The only thing that stops his access to your emotions, your mind, your future, or your health. Only one thing he cannot cross, that is the blood of Christ.

“Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” Revelations 12:12b (NKJV)

The evil being unleashed in the world is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Just as evil is being orchestrated in the world, God is orchestrating salvation. Mario is standing in that pulpit because God has placed him there, the people are in their seat under that tent because God drew them there.

Mario said people who are not Christians go to church for purer reasons than most of the Christians that are already in there. Instead of hoping for better coffee, or parking, or ptograms, they are wondering how am I going to raise my child, how am I going to pay my bills, how am I going to live? What they expect in church is the presence of God.

He told them, the greatest miracle of your life is when Jesus gets the devil off your back.

And then Mario had them close their eyes and began to compel them to respond to the need and desire for hope and peace and to live a life without dread or fear. He had them raise their hands, then stand, and finally to come forward.

And in a moment that matched the first night, nearly half the people in the tent rushed to the altar. It was such an incredible response to the drawing of the Holy Spirit.

Again, Mario prayed with them and then had them go out to be ministered to by our many volunteer workers. Catherine and her band led the people in Look What the Lord Has Done as we transitioned to the message for the night.

Mario told the people, if the American church does not wake up it will not matter who wins the White House. He said the first remnant that needs to wake up in America is the pentecostal churches.

He then began telling a story. In the year 1990 a man by the name of Warren Rogers was driving a bakery truck at night. He pulled over to go in the back to prepare the orders and two men jumped him, knocking him to the ground.

They smashed him into the diamond plate flooring of the truck, pointed a gun to his head but it misfired. So they took a knife and cut into a large birthmark. As he was drowning in his own blood they beat him, breaking every bone in his body. And then left him for dead.

For the next several years he went through many procedures trying to put his body back together. He was in a steel body brace from head to toe, and in agony from the broken body and the treatments that weren’t solving the problem, and he planned to take his own life.

Then one day someone told Warren to give God one more chance. So in 1990, Mario was speaking at a university. While he was waiting to leave for the meeting God showed Mario a vision of all that Warren had endured. He asked Jesus why would he show him something so horrifying before he was going to preach. God told him that the man would be in the meeting and God was going to heal him that night.

Mario started that night by recounting the story of this vision he’d seen, saying that this person was there, and as he told the story there was a scream in the back.

While Mario recounted the details, Warren began to disconnect and to remove every bolt and connection of that brace he was bound in, then ran to the front of the auditorium.

Mario said it was what happened next that he is speaking about tonight. He said we have perverted the gifts of the Spirit, we have commercialized them, and then we abandoned them. Miracles are not supposed to happen in a safe, or religious, space.

He said what happened next was most astonishing. Warren Rogers had a recording of the night, of Mario detailing the healing as it was happening. Additionally, he had been awarded a $350,000 settlement from the courts because of his permanent disability.

After this night in Mario’s meeting, Warren first went to his doctor at John’s Hopkins University. And without any brace or assistance, Warren strutted into the doctors office. Before the doctor could say anything, Warren played the recording. The doctor began to weep and on the spot was led to Jesus.

Next, Warren went to his psychiatrist. And once more told the doctor to not saying anything, and played the recording. This doctor also began to weep and was led to Christ.

Finally, Warren went to his Jewish attorney. And as he walked in said, “Lee, I’m about to introduce you to your Messiah.” And then played the recording for his attorney. And Lee asked, ‘What should I do?” And Warren responded, “First jesus, then we are going to return the money.” He returned the money so there would be a record of Warren returning all the money because God miraculously healed him.

“in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.” Romans 15:19 (NKJV)

Mario revealed the title of the nights message, “The Fully Preached Gospel.” He said, the Gospel is not fully preached without miracles.

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:15-18 (NKJV)

Mario said, the American Pentecostals are guilty of abandoning the Holy Spirit. The fault lies in preachers who abused the gifts, went emotional, led double lives, were privately immoral or perverted, and operated in so called gifts that weren’;t real.

The miraculous signs and wonders ministry of the Holy Spirit was contaminate and perverted. A new wave of revival came and raised up churches with established supernatural teaching. The next generation which should have learned from the previous generation, instead learned a perverted and corrupt Gospel.

Mario cried out, “God please send us preachers that are pure!”

David Wilkerson said, “The tragedy was leaders seeing the abuse used it as an excuse to stop the gifts of the Spirit from operating in the church.”

Denominations got lazy. They saw one did it wrong, another was immoral, another went off, this gift was abused; and threw it all out instead of pressing into the Word of God to find out how to be truly anointed. He said, we don’t have to redeem the gifts. We have to redeem ourselves to the gifts.

We told the Holy Spirit to get out of our churches in an attempt to be respectable to the world. And in exchange we lost the power of God.

Mario said we need a signs and wonders awakening, we need all the gifts of the Spirit to operate, and we need the proper use fo the five fold ministry.

Cessationism means when the Bible was fully written, the power of God stopped. How stupid is it when you believe the only miracles that can happen are done by the Devil?

“When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.’” Matthew 8:16-17 (NKJV)

“‘But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins’—then He said to the paralytic, ‘Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’” Matthew 9:6 (NKJV)

As long as the world needs to know Jesus still forgives sin, signs, miracles and wonders will continue to happen.

Mario then said, signs and wonders are a weapon of mass conversion. He told how the pentecostals around the world, outside of the United States, has grown to where up to 50,000 people a day are getting baptized in the Holy Spirit.

But they aren’t organized, don’t have golf carts, don’t own a cappuccino machine; but they are going into the jungles and caves and mountains, and they are raising the dead, and laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover.

“But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.” John 12:10-11 (NKJV)

Mario said, our problem is we don’t want to pay the price for the anointing to heal the sick. He asked, what do you want a religious empire or for America to be saved?

Mario said God is raising up an army across America, and there will be signs and wonders in this army. He then asked, How many of you want to be in this army?

He talked about the meeting Donald Trump had at Madison Square Garden, and about how many people were there and how exciting it appeared. But said, what is in that room may save us economically, keep our enemies from destroying us; but it cannot bring America to God. We need a fresh day of pentecost in the United States, the Spirit filled community needs to wake up and return to its roots.

Mario had the people stand and asked for those who needed to be healed to raise their hand. Of course hands went up all over the tent. He then had everyone look for someone near them with their hand up, lay a hand on them, and begin to pray for them.

I know the one on one moments of revelation and miracle power are amazing to witness and I look forward to many more of them. But these moments when Mario has the people in the tent become the extension of the power of God and minister one on one it always excites my spirit. Because it won’t be enough for Mario to pray individually with people only. It will take all of us reaching out to the people in our communities and spheres of influence and connection for this whole world to be transformed and saved.

It was an amazing night, a powerful night. God was with us and I’m excited for the next two nights to see what He will do next.

If you are at all able I encourage you to come to one or both of the remaining nights.
