And I didn't know he's a full-fledged cessationist
and that he hated Charismatics back then.
I didn't know he'd written books about guys like me.
But I'm driving down the road
and he and I rented a car together, we're riding together.
The guy calls me, a friend of mine, Pastor Shane Warren.
He's like, hey, hey Gibson,
are you ministering with Locke right now?
I'm like, yeah, he's like, he hates guys like you.
So he says on the phone and I'm like, I'm riding by him.
I'm like, well, we're getting along pretty good right now.
You know, things are going.
I didn't even know how bad it was freaking Locke out
because we're like driving in the car forever
and flying on planes together.
But I pray in tongues a lot.
And you know, instead of cussing
when somebody pulls over on me in an interstate,
I think it's better.
My flesh wants to cuss.
I think it's better to talk in tongues.
Pastor Brian Gibson, it's great to have you here
on Charisma News.
And we've been hearing some amazing things
that God is doing in your church,
but it's actually his church.
I love the name of that church
because you're trying to keep the emphasis
that it is his church, it's God's church.
So welcome here to Charisma News.
Hey, it's an honor to be with you, John.
What an honor.
And it is his church.
You know, we've hung our hats on Matthew 16, 18.
Jesus said, I will build my church
and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
So that's like the guiding scripture of my life
that everything we do, it's about Jesus.
And we're just trying to stay out of the way
and let him do what he wants to do, man.
But thanks for having me.
What an honor.
Amen, amen.
Yeah, it's an honor to have you here
and to talk about the revival that is really happening
at your churches, the different campuses that you have.
And I know that we're gonna talk about this in a little bit,
but you just had Jonathan Cahn there and Greg Locke,
which are two of our authors here at Charisma.
And we follow their ministries very closely
and we're excited whenever we saw
that you basically had these guys back to back.
And it's not because they were already like scheduled
for something, God has been moving in your church.
And I wanna hear about this revival that's been breaking out
and you've been saying that you've been actually feeling
things like physically too.
So tell us about what God is doing at his church.
Yeah, it's been wild and been incredible.
I'm exhausted.
I've done like two solid weeks
of preaching right now every night, right?
But it's been great.
We had a couple of conferences.
We did have some conferences scheduled, right?
So we got churches in Kentucky, Owensboro, Henderson,
then we have a church in Amarillo, Texas.
So we do a conference on the Texas side,
then we'll turn around the next week,
do a conference on the Kentucky side.
But what happened in Texas is I'm there one night
with a friend of mine, I think Daniel,
Pastor Daniel Bracken just built the largest church house
in the state of Alaska, a powerful man.
Pastor Shane Warren is in there as well with me,
me and my wife, and we're just hanging out in worship.
And man, you could sense and tell the power
of God's coming to the room.
And as I'm standing there, I did feel something like,
I'm real careful with my language like this,
so I don't over sensationalize stuff, but in worship,
I physically felt something touch me on the head.
And I opened up my eyes and there's nothing there.
And I didn't say anything to anybody
because I'm like, what is that?
Is that a flashback from acid in the 90s?
Was it the spine crack?
Well, my wife, who never took acid, by the way,
she's standing beside me, she's a good kid,
preacher's daughter, I was an outlaw that Jesus saved.
She's standing beside me and she turns around
and she says, did you feel that?
Now I'm like, she's like, something just touched me.
And Daniel Bracken, Pastor Daniel,
without us saying anything to him, he said,
man, I think there's angels in here,
something's touched me.
Pastor Shane Warren said the same thing,
all independent of each other.
He's like, something walked by me and just brushed me.
And Pastor Shane said it when he was in the pulpit,
but I'm telling you, like the power and the anointing
and the presence of God just started to settle
into the room and miracles started happening, right?
There's a lady with a blocked aorta,
no blood flow into her legs.
And none of us prayed for her,
the ushers prayed for her that night.
And she went back and her aorta was opened up.
Guys that like 10 year rotator cuff issues,
like couldn't get their arm over their head,
claimed that their rotator cuff totally healed.
A kid, I would not suggest this,
that needed reconstructive knee surgery,
an athlete, right, but fairly young,
still strong, working out and stuff,
said God touched his knee, went in the next day
and put 350 on the squat rack and did it.
Like, I'm like, I do not suggest doing that, right?
That's not, but miracles, I mean, just started happening.
And people got excited and crowds started coming, right?
This is before any names or, you know, any big names,
all of us are, the guys that are there,
we're all successful pastors and strong ministry gifts,
but not-
Right, you're just having a church conference.
This is not like a big national thing yet.
This is just, you're just having your regular conference.
We're just having church and people start showing up
and people are excited.
I'll tell you what happened to me.
I preached one night, we,
Wednesday night it was supposed to be over,
it was Sunday through Wednesday,
but the power of God was so rich and real,
we said, hey, we gotta keep, Jesus, I mean, we didn't,
I don't know, you know,
we didn't follow any keys to revival,
we didn't pray enough, fast enough or anything.
God just showed up to help his people.
And we extended it.
We extended the revival and I was preaching one night
I was preaching, I wanna get people in love with Jesus
again, right?
I mean, that's the only answer we have, right?
Right.
America's messed up.
We need a revival.
There is no political remedy for our nation.
And I'm a fairly political guy, but nobody can fix this.
The only thing that can help this nation is an awakening.
So I don't think like our Republic can be saved
or anything like that at this point,
although I'm still praying and hopeful,
but I do think a revival can change our nation.
And so I was preaching out of where John, you know,
says there's one coming after me,
I'm not even worthy to tie shoes.
I'll baptize you with water,
but there's one coming that will baptize you with fire.
Jesus walks up the next day, right?
It's the next day, John's prophesying.
It says the next day Jesus walks up,
John says, behold the lamb of God,
takes away the sin of the world.
And so I'm preaching, behold the lamb, right?
Look at all, look to the lamb with awe and expectation
and love and wonder, we need to see the lamb.
And I get down and I'm like,
I'm praying for a new passion for Jesus in our church.
And I was laying hands on people in the altar
and I had a mini, I don't know,
I didn't see him with my eyes, let's call it a vision,
whatever you wanna call it, you know, these things are,
people see different, hear different,
we all interact with the spirit of God,
just a little bit different,
because we're people and we're fearfully
and wonderfully made, right?
I'm walking through the altar, I look to my right
and in my spirit, I see Jesus walking by me.
Wow.
Right, just for a second, it's not with my eyes,
it's with my spirit, with my heart, it's the way I see.
And then he stepped over from beside of me
and he stepped on top of me, right?
And I had buddies watching the live feed
and they started texting my wife,
like something just happened to Brian.
I got so undone when it happened,
like I couldn't stop weeping.
And I had a handkerchief,
because I'm a big boy and my spiritual gift is sweating.
And I took this handkerchief and I just put it over my face
because I didn't really want people to see
how undone it was.
And as I was walking through the altar then,
man, everybody started melting when I got close to him.
Just power God permeates the room.
So I think that kicked it off.
There were some, almost like,
if we're talking about Rabbi Cammel,
call them harbingers, that revival was coming, right?
Couple of months before,
like there's been some real hunger that's hit us
and some real, also brokenness, just to be honest.
We fought hell nationally for several years.
It's why I'm 46, I look like I'm going on 70,
through the lockdowns and became a voice
against government oppression of the church.
But I walked in the church a couple of months ago
and the secretaries came and got me and said,
pastor, there's somebody out front.
We don't know if he's dangerous or not.
Kind of looks crazy.
And he did, he had all the signs up.
He was strung out and he was laid down
on the front of the church house, like by the door,
just face down.
And I went out there, I had a friend in town,
Pastor Joel DeAngie, helps me pastor now,
so come on staff.
And I was like, Joel, watch,
I don't know what this guy's gonna do
because I've had a lot of death threats throughout the years.
And this guy's down there all strung out.
And I'm like, hey, I walk out, hey man, can I help you?
And he looked up at me and he said, he's weeping.
He said, my mama brought me to this building
when I was a little boy.
And I was across town, he was about 15 miles away.
I was across town and I felt like
if I could get to this building, I could find God.
This is what the kid says.
Wow.
And he's hanging on the threshold of the church.
Right.
So we prayed for him minister to invest we could,
you know what I mean?
Believe God for him and took him where he needed to go.
And I hadn't seen him since, I'm believing God,
God started something in him.
But I think it was kinda like, God's like,
hey, I'm gonna bring the broken and the lost
and the hurting.
It was like a prophetic, prophetic sign to me, if you will.
But it started in Amarillo then it went to Owensboro.
And we did seven days.
Owensboro is our Kentucky location.
Almost I left Amarillo in the middle
of a Sunday morning service,
cause you know, American Airlines owns you
out in West Texas, the only way you're getting out
unless you wanna take a horse across the desert out here.
But we're flying out and man, people,
the power got so strong in the room.
I have to leave right then.
And we get to Owensboro and the same stuff
starts happening there.
Same stuff starts happening.
So it's rolling.
God's doing something.
Wow.
So what were some of the things that were being preached
that were, what were some themes
that might have been able to spark this revival?
Then the strongest theme I know,
I'll say this, Pastor Daniel Bracken started preaching
about just believing God for bigger.
And he does have a real, he's like a,
he's a wrecking ball, just to be honest, and a faith man.
And he's just fought hell to build up.
It's like a 75,000 square foot building in Wasilla, Alaska.
His church is King's Chapel, but it was like,
he fought hell at a higher level.
Alaska, you only have so many months to build, right?
And if you can't get it built then,
you gotta wait till everything falls out.
I mean, it's a real deal.
And so it's been seven years him fighting the hell.
And I think he's got an uncommon faith.
And I think he was releasing that to the people to believe,
but that was massive.
I'll say this, like Jesus,
people were preaching spirit baptism, right?
People were preaching somewhat about the controversy
between the Jews and Palestine right now.
Okay.
Tied it back into Haman,
wanting to kill the Jews in the book of Esther,
and how there's a demonic warfare around.
But I'll say this, we had some great speakers in Owensboro.
We had Rabbi Khan, and we had Greg Locke.
Greg Locke's flying in tonight
to preach in Amarillo as well.
Oh, wow.
And Khan preached the return of the gods,
which is where we are as a culture right now.
Where it's about the old God Testament false gods
are really just demon powers, right?
Molech and the Asteroth and Baal.
And you see what they're doing in the culture right now
with the lies coming to our children
about all the LGBTQ stuff.
Also the blood, I mean, I call it blood sacrifice,
the abortion all over the world.
It's what it is, right?
Khan does a great job teaching that.
So I think that was touching hearts.
And I'll say this, one night,
I didn't have a big guest speaker,
and we got things going forward.
And I'm trying to pray,
who do I get over here to help me run this revival?
And Jesus spoke to me and he said,
can I be your special guest tonight?
And I'm like, yeah, Lord,
I would love to host you more than anybody else.
And so the big names showed up and they're awesome.
I love those guys, men of God, right?
But when people just came for nobody but Jesus,
it's pretty special, you know?
It's pretty special.
I don't say that to God.
The rabbi is a dear friend and great teacher.
I mean, I learned so much from him after the service,
blowing my mind.
It's just like, he knows more.
He's forgotten more than I've ever learned.
And then Locke's got an authority over the devil right now
that's hit another level.
And we go back.
I mean, he and I go back for some time now.
And-
I want you to share a little bit of that story
of how you and Pastor Greg Locke
have been doing some ministry together over the years.
But we'll save that for a little bit later.
But continue to tell me about what God's doing now.
Yeah, yeah, Jesus,
he just said, can I be your special guest?
And so I'm trying to keep it Jesus-focused
and Jesus-centered the revival, right?
And I'm trying to make sure we don't get in the way of it.
So like even other friends I've got that move so powerfully
like in the word of knowledge and stuff like that,
I got friends that can come in
and I travel with them pretty extensively.
Doesn't matter where we go.
Like some of these guys know,
they know everybody's name and what they're dealing with
and their job.
And I'm talking crazy, crazy gifts of the Spirit.
I love to see that operate.
But people can get like so wowed by that
that they forget what we came for.
We didn't come for the gift.
We came for the one that gives the gift, right?
And I want us to stay focused on that.
But in the middle of it, like in Owensboro,
I'll say this Owensboro, Kentucky,
I've never seen the level of demon possession
or oppression or whatever you want to call it.
I don't care what you call it.
Just let's say people that the devil is tormenting.
Like they're in the service.
And this is before Locke gets there, who's a big demon guy.
Just like we're walking in the church building
and people that are oppressed of the devil
are running to us around the building.
Me and one of my friends, Pastor Shane Warren,
pray for me, pray.
I got these issues and you can tell when it's demonic,
it's different, right?
Just total spirit of fear and freaked out.
And then we get in the service.
And like I'll give you an example.
One night I called people up.
People have been getting healed,
like 20 people getting testified in the church.
They just received healing.
Our teams praying for them and God's moving.
And then I call people up for salvation
before Khan ever speaks.
And I got words of knowledge on several of these people
that are up there.
And I get to one and full-fledged manifests of devil,
start screaming out, falls on the ground,
almost right in front of Khan's on the,
sitting on the front row.
And we minister to him and there's kids getting saved
in this altar call too.
And they're looking, you know,
not everybody's seen a devil just cried out and screaming.
And I'm like, don't pay attention to that, honey.
That's just a devil.
We're gonna focus on Jesus.
Pastor comes out, I mean,
I'm trying to pass for these teenagers.
They get freaked out.
But I'm like, that was happening four or five times a night.
I don't know.
Like I pastored in Owensboro,
pioneered a church there in 0405.
And I don't know what's,
it's always been a witchy kind of city,
to be honest, for Kentucky.
It's an old river town.
And a lot of times I think those type of,
I don't know, you know, occultic stuff or witch stuff,
palm readers, all that kind of stuff
that comes and demonizes a city,
went down the river ways early on.
And you can find it in old river towns.
Used to, I rented an office from people
that owned the first New Age store in that town.
But it's gone to another level now.
And I don't know, I think it's that coupled with the drugs
and the fentanyl coming up from our southern border.
I think there's a lot of occult practices
in the cartel thing, right?
You know, they got their patron saint of drug running,
they pray to.
Then they employ a lot of witches
to pray over the dope and stuff.
And I mean, you don't go to any major city in America
right now without seeing fentanyl junkies
and meth heads on every corner.
But in a little town of 50,000,
it really sticks out, right?
Cause it's a small place.
And the town is getting like that.
So when we start preaching the gospel over there,
man, the demons just crowd of people
and they've gotten demonized.
Jesus is setting them free.
But it's even just going down to the like walking in town
by myself, demon possessed people are finding me everywhere
during the day.
So I mean, my wife is like,
this is getting out of control, Brian.
Like I'm walking and demon possessed people
are screaming at me from the top of parking garages
and stuff and coming up and trying to talk to me.
We're ministering Jesus to them.
Cause when you're talking to people like that,
there's two entities you're talking to.
There's the human in there, right?
That is drawn to you and drawn to the Jesus in you
really cause they need deliverance.
And then there's the demon that is possessed
and vexed them.
And a lot of Christians aren't used to that,
but it's all over the New Testament.
They'll try on Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
They'd learn something about the Jesus who breaks chains.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I know that, you just mentioned that pastor Greg Locke,
God's using him mightily in deliverance right now.
But when you guys first started working together
and ministering together,
he, brother, you were a big part of him,
coming to the knowledge of the Holy Spirit
and leaving his cessationist ways behind.
Could you tell me, could you tell us a little bit about
early Greg Locke and what you see now
and the transformation that's been happening?
Yeah, I used to see Locke,
he blew up on Facebook years ago.
And I'm a bit outspoken too
and people would send me videos of him.
And at the time I'm like, whatever, you know.
But Locke and I got,
we started pushing back against the lockdowns
and he got loud and I was loud.
And yeah, I think back then I was on some of Charisma
podcast back then with the strength, right?
So I did some over that and Locke's around,
around voices back then like Pastor Rodney Howard Brown
was a voice at the time.
There were different guys.
What's his name out in California?
Jack Hibbs became a voice, Rob McCoy became a voice in that.
The guy down in Louisiana, they kept arresting,
I forget his name, but he became a voice during the time.
That brother held the line.
I gotta say about him, he held the line.
I don't know him, but I'll tip my hat to him.
But we were doing a rally in Kentucky,
in Frankfort at the Capitol.
And I called Locke and said, Locke, why don't you come over?
You know, I know you're with us aligned on this politically.
And like, there's Mike Pence's fly again,
aligned with us politically.
Cause we don't think the government should,
we don't think politicians tell prophets what to do.
I think prophets tell politicians what to do.
And I don't care what, whatever they're selling,
I'm not smoking.
I got a first amendment right to keep the church open.
I don't care what's happening.
And so Locke goes on the road with me
and we preach in like 30 states together.
And I didn't know he's a full fledged cessationist
and that he hated Charismatics back then.
I didn't know he'd written books about guys like me,
but I'm driving down the road
and he and I rented a car together, we're riding together.
And a guy calls me, a friend of mine, Pastor Shane Warren.
And he's like, hey, Gibson,
are you ministering with Locke right now?
I'm like, yeah, he's like, he hates guys like you.
So he says on the phone and I'm like, I'm riding by him.
I'm like, well, we're getting along pretty good right now.
Things are going.
I didn't even know how bad I was freaking Locke out
because we're like driving in the car forever
and flying on planes together.
But I pray in tongues a lot.
And instead of cussing when somebody pulls over on me
in an interstate, I think it's better.
My flesh wants to cuss.
I think it's better to talk in tongues.
And my wife's a lot happier with me
when I talk in tongues instead of cussing.
So it's a habit.
I just pray in tongues and I remember Locke looking over
at me like what in the world's happening?
But he would watch us and I would give words
and knowledge and prophesy as we were traveling.
And he kind of figured out, he's like,
man, this guy's not crazy,
at least not totally crazy, right?
And God was already speaking to him.
He's looking in the Bible.
And so Locke saw that what we were doing, that it's real.
And the spirit of God was working on him.
I think there was kind of culmination of that.
And Locke tells this story,
I think it's in one of his books.
He comes over to my church house in Owensboro,
the church we pastor.
I always call it the church house
because it's not the church, right?
It's where the church meets.
So-
I like how you'd make that distinction.
That's good.
Yeah, yeah.
I try to help people theologically like that.
It's the church house.
And I had a friend of mine from Columbia.
He's a prophet, Gustavo Piaz.
Piaz is like the highest level male reader
I've ever seen in my life, right?
It's like, holy moly, this is insane.
So he tells Locke almost everything
he's ever done in his life,
prophesies over all of his children,
Locke's childhood, all this stuff, and Locke's just undone.
And I think that changed everything
in their life and ministry.
So he wrote a book about it.
I think y'all carry the book.
It's maybe accessing or anointing,
or it's something about the anointing.
I don't know, maybe, maybe not.
But all of our books got these anointing titles.
So it's some book with anointing in the title.
So in the book, he tells the story
of how God touched him that way.
And then he comes to our church
and he's preaching about that.
And demons start screaming out in the room, all right?
So there's like five or six of them that night,
which was uncommon at the time.
It seems more common right now.
I think our culture with all the crazy stuff
that's been loosed in our culture,
with the sexual, you know, just green light.
You can be a trisexual, try whatever you want.
You know, and us applauding, not us,
but people applauding it in our school systems.
It's getting more demonized.
But that night people were screaming out and stuff,
and Locke didn't know what to do with them at the time.
And there's a woman like manifesting on the front row.
You know, she's dancing, she's doing all kinds of weird,
devils come to distract.
So it's kind of sensual what she's doing
and she's manifesting.
And I walked down right in front of Locke and the woman,
and I'm like, come out of her in Jesus name.
And she goes down and starts to ride them
and the devil starts coming out of her.
And afterwards I'm like, hey, Locke,
do you see all those demons screaming in the service
when you started preaching?
I'm like, I'm pretty sure God's doing something here
and he wants to use you to set the demon disaster free.
And it was a prophetic moment in Locke's life.
I think he talks about it in one of the recent books.
And then there were other things coupled with that.
And then he dove in, he went all the way in, right?
He started studying all the, everybody
and all these other guys, this is what they do.
I'm a pastor, I'm not just a specialist in deliverance
or specialist in the prophetic or you know what I mean?
I'm a general practitioner, I'm a pastor, church planner.
But he got in deep and God's used him.
I mean, the books come out, the movie, millions of watch.
And the guys he had on there,
when you first get into a movement like that
and you don't know everybody,
some of the voices you get connected with are good voices,
some are bad voices.
He invited me to preach
at that first deliverance conference he had
and I didn't want to go because I didn't know all the guys
and I'm real careful who I link arms with, right?
Maybe I'm a little looser than I used to be now
because, but anyway, Locke's learned some lessons
in that area, God teaches us all lessons.
And a lot of people will judge you
on something you did a couple of years ago
when you're a different man now.
And Locke's a different man
and God's changing him every day.
I love him, I'm committed to him as a man and a man of God.
And I'm thankful that we got to be a little part
of the story that what God's doing in him.
Amen, amen, that's exciting.
Thank you for sharing that.
And I want to, we're kind of coming down,
coming towards the end of this interview right now,
which I think this is going to be the first
of many interviews because I just enjoy talking with you
and hearing what God's doing.
But I want to hear, you've been able to sustain this revival
in these two different areas
or actually a couple of different areas
for a little while now.
What is it, I mean, we talked about what sparked it,
but what are you believing is going to sustain this revival?
Well, number one, I have no idea what I'm doing, all right?
Just put that out there, right?
I've never tried, I just don't know what I'm doing.
But God's doing something.
I mean, I'm not an idiot, not a total idiot,
but I don't know what I'm doing right now.
I think I've been talking to guys
that have had these kinds of revivals that keep going.
Because we've been successful planning churches
and we've always moved into gifts,
but never an extended revival.
First one, I'm 20 years into this.
So I know this, passion for Jesus is paramount.
So I'm trying to keep him centered.
Now keep reminding the crowd,
hey, tonight we have a special guest, right?
Tonight we have a special guest.
And his name is Jesus.
There's no other guest,
there's nobody else I want to host.
I know, I'm going to eat with one of the pastors
of the largest church in the world, like on what is tonight,
on the 31st.
I sat with all those guys, knew all those guys,
knew Dr. Joe before he went to heaven.
The old generals, I know all those guys.
I loved them all, appreciate them.
But there's nobody like Jesus.
So CEOs, I know them, presidents, families, I know them.
I want to know Jesus.
So I keep that, I'm trying to keep that first and foremost,
number one, try not to touch it,
get in the way, not mess it up.
Secondly, I think we got to pray more, right?
I mean, this is just Christianity 101.
Attacks come, right?
I got some real lessons during the lockdowns.
I got involved politically about keeping the church open
and it wasn't just a local church fight.
It was like a national governance fight.
And people say new level, new devil.
I learned that at a higher level than I've ever experienced.
Right?
So I want to get people praying for us.
Like even last night, like I was, I'm moving slow
because middle of the night, I get a call
and the devil attacked my brother's health last night.
My brother went down in front of his wife,
got up straight up out of bed, threw up,
said, call the ambulance, something's bad wrong with me.
He's not that kind of guy.
So we were all up praying in the spirit, he's in Kentucky.
I'm in Texas and we're up binding and loosening last night
at like two in the morning.
And the devil, you know, you just get uncommon attacks
when stuff like this is happening.
Don't fear it, right?
We don't have a spirit of fear.
We have authority over the devil,
but raising up that shield of faith with prayer.
We need people praying for us, praying for our team,
praying for safety, praying for protection.
I think prayer's big there.
I think gospel preaching, simple gospel.
The ultimate form of spiritual warfare
is the verbal proclamation of the gospel, the kerygma.
Right?
The coming Messiah, death, burial, resurrection,
repent, believe, come on, he's coming back.
I think preaching that feeds any revival.
And I think just learning to steward it well.
I think what we're going to is we'll probably do
three days a week in both locations, right?
I like do a week over here, three days,
then take it over here.
And right now it feels like wherever we go,
revival's going with us, which is crazy.
Like one of my campus pastors, Pastor Jordan Chrysley
in Owensboro went to a funeral this week
in the middle of this revival.
A guy, I don't know, I forgot what killed him, young guy.
Small group, like, I don't know, 75 people in the room,
20 people got saved in the funeral, right?
My wife went to the salon, right?
Because her anointing is like when she gets her hair done
and her nails done and all that stuff.
So she's in the salon, and my wife's a better preacher
than I am, she's a fireball.
But they are asking, we do a lot of trips to Israel,
and they're asking, hey, what's happening in Israel?
Is this the end, the girls?
Is Jesus coming back?
And she, is Jesus coming back?
And three or four of the hairdressers,
she has an altar call in the salon,
they get born again in the salon, right?
This Sunday in our Henderson campus,
we baptized over 60 people this Sunday
from the revival in our campus.
So Henderson, we just pioneered that church,
I don't know, three years ago,
and it's hitting about 300 people on the Sunday
in the morning right now.
And it'd be bigger, but the church is too small,
we need a miracle.
So they're baptizing 10 people over there,
and 11 more people that are just in the room that get saved
decide they need to get water baptized,
run up and get baptized in their good clothes,
walk home wet.
Pastor John Tatum was doing that in Henderson.
We just want to, we need an awakening,
we need no revival, we need, we revival,
and I believe this, I believe revival isn't coming,
I believe it's here.
It will operate in it,
and we'll walk humbly before the Lord.
And I think God, you know, in a lot of ways,
He allowed us to be broken over the last few years,
so He could pour out a blessing,
and we just want to do it well.
Amen.
You know, Pastor Brian, as you're talking about this
and you're sharing those stories,
I'm reminded of the passage in Acts where the,
I forget what town it was,
but they said the people that have turned the world
upside down have come here as well.
And so the revival, we're going with them,
and what you're seeing,
and as you said it so eloquently earlier,
is that no matter where we're going,
the revival is gonna break out.
And there's faith in that declaration,
and there's faith in that,
because we know that revival's not isolated
to a physical location.
Revival can go with you,
because it's the Holy Spirit moving,
it's drawing people to Jesus.
We know that nobody comes to Jesus
unless the Holy Spirit draws them.
And Jesus is our special guest.
And Pastor Brian, we talked about prayer,
and I want to ask you to pray for those that are watching,
that they would really treat Jesus as a special guest.
And however it is that you want to pray,
I just want to kind of release you for that.
And I just believe that there can be revival
breaking out from people watching this interview,
that this video right now,
and as they share that with their friends and family,
that they can be a part of this revival.
Would you just pray for them right now?
Amen, I love that, John.
I love what you said about these men
that have turned the world upside down
from the book of Acts.
I believe that.
I want to pray along those lines.
And I can feel the power,
the physical power of God on me right now for revival,
and that's Jesus.
So Lord, we come boldly to your throne right now
in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
We thank you that he's the healer.
We thank you that he's the chain breaker.
We thank you that he's the one that sends revival.
He is the one that baptizes in Holy Spirit fire.
Right now, Father, we pray that we would be like the book
of Acts, men and women, that everywhere we go,
that your name would be lifted up
and that you would be the special guest.
So Father, I pray now you would come and bless John
and his household.
You would bless the organization
that he represents, Charisma.
I pray right now as well that you would continue your work
in the churches we lead
and that it would roll over to other churches.
I declare my cup runneth over from Psalm 23
and let it go all over the state of Texas.
Let it go all over Kentucky, Tennessee,
all over the Southeast, into California,
into Seattle, Washington.
Father, I declare revival fire is coming
and flowing and moving.
Right now, I thank you that in this revival,
you're tapping on the shoulders
and the heads of young men and women.
Father, I pray you raise up prophets and pastors
and teachers and apostles and that you raise up kings
that are business leaders and they're in the marketplace
making a difference.
Raise up priests, Father,
those that take care of the house of God.
Lord, I thank you that revival's coming
and the dead things are living again.
I say the fire of God and the breath of God are blowing
over dead things, Father.
Dead bones and dry bones are raising up even now.
I know that there's a rise of the beast system
all over the world,
but I thank you that there's a rise of the bride
that's even stronger right now.
I thank you that the bride is more powerful than the beast.
I declare the bride is more powerful than the beast.
I said the bride is more powerful than the beast.
So empower your bride, give them passion for Jesus,
touch them and change them.
Lord, signs, wonders, miracles, salvations,
let them flow, let that anointing hit every leader,
every church person,
every just Jesus-honoring person watching.
We say there's a new authority.
Say revival's not coming.
Revival is here, in Jesus' name.
Amen.
Pastor Brian Gibson of His Church,
thank you so much for being here on Charisma News
to talk about what God is doing.
This is powerful and I love hearing what God's doing
and I can't wait to hear more from you
about how God is moving in this.
Thank you.
Hey, it's an honor, John.
You're just out of trouble, huh?
