At www.SeanandChristasmith.com and just to throw this out there we got Chris at a juice
day and the momentum worship team.
Yeah.
They're going to be doing it and then a quick testimony.
The last momentum night, Christa brought in a phenomenal word. We just got in a testimony
of a word of knowledge that called out a woman whose thyroid levels put her on significant
drugs and prescriptions for the last 25 years. She received the word, received healing, went
back to her doctor and her doctor essentially was speechless and she is no longer on medication,
no longer as a thyroid condition.
She was healed at our last momentum night, the word of knowledge, receiving healing so
we are believing this next momentum night, June night specifically we're believing for
healings so get out there and bring people that need healing and we're super excited
about that.
Hey, keep it 100 tribe. We're about to go into this amazing conversation. We have Tom
and Miriam Evans as for mention they head up revival mandate ministries and they are
both authors.
They've been on shows such as Sid Roth's It's Supernatural, The Wrestling Place, other
shows, they travel as revivalists. They've been the many nations all across this nation.
They are known for being catalysts for revival healings. You're going to hear some incredible
healings and some incredible just secrets and stuff.
So right now let's go into this interview with Tommy and Miriam Evans.
Keep it 100 tribe as I have told you. We've got some of our most awesome friends. The
most amazing couple is it relates to revival healing miracles. God has used them in the
nations of the world all across our nation. We are so excited to have on the Keep it 100
podcast Tommy and Miriam Evans. Welcome you guys.
Thank you guys. We're so honored.
Kristin and I, we have done so much with you guys. We've been in so many rooms. The apostolic

But we're so excited because we get to have you guys June 9th. That's right listeners.
7pm Oakland, California. Hello Bay Area and beyond. We're going to have the Evans with
us on a night for miracles revival healings. And it's just amazing how God used you. Isn't
that right, Kristin?
Oh, I tell you what, I'm so excited you guys are coming because I know what you carry and
the Bay doesn't even know they're not even ready for the Evans to show up. And so we've
just been put a stake in the ground for revival and we really feel like you guys are that
perfect compliment to just come and just break, help us break open those wells of revival
and that move of God, the signs, wonders and miracles, which you guys walk in mightily.
We're going to talk about that. But what you guys bring, I'm so excited. And I got to say
this because you guys will laugh. Lindsay, who's from Trinity, you know her and she works
with Cindy. She messaged me on Instagram. This is hilarious. And she's like, this is
the collab of all collabs. She's like, I'm coming in from Dallas. So her and her friend
are legit flying in for the momentum June 9th in the Bay because she's like the Evans
and the Smiths. She's like, I have to be in the room. And I was like, that's like the
greatest compliment ever collab of all collabs. I was like, in a day where it's all about
who you're collaborating with, I was like, we get a collab with the Holy Ghost in the
Evans. It's going to be a wild night. So this is an invitation for the wild ones to come
out. We want those that are hungry, that are just burning for the things of God. Join us
in the base of free events, 7pm Sequoia Community Church, the infos on Sean and I's Instagrams
and social media, Facebook. We've also tagged the Evans and so it should be on their social
media as well. It's on our website. So show up and show out because God's about to do
something. So we're excited. All right, should we dive in? Cause I'm ready for this conversation.
Let's do it. We got some wisdom and revelation in both
Tommy and Maryam. And you guys are a tenor just like Sean and I. And I know you guys
are seeing God do so much in the nation, but I'd love for you just to begin opening up
with really kind of talking about every move of God that we see, which we're seeing now.
We're going to get to that in a moment, but every move of God begins with like an encounter.
It begins with revelation. That call for revival that you carry began initially with an encounter
you had with God. And so in the Keep It One At a Tribe, we love origin stories. What's
that initial encounter that really propelled you into the call of revival that you have
for today? Go for it, babe.
I would have to say that Evan Roberts, the leader of the great Welsh revival, had just
kind of stated it in one of my favorite quotes. He says, make no mistake, God cannot do a
great work through you until God does a great work in you first. And I have to tell you
that my first initial encounter with God is the awakening that he did within me first.
You know, there was a time in my life years ago that I didn't believe that God liked me,
much less loved me. And even while I was a sinner and while I was in the midst of addiction
and I was in the midst of infirmity, he came and he healed my body. There were people that
came after me anyways and laid hands on me and prayed for me. And when I saw the love
of the Father and the mercy of God, heal me from several infirmities in my body from
a neurological disorder to eating disorders to addictions, something awakened within me
to where I thought if God can do it for me, I know he can do it for others. And it began
that encounter of God setting me free. Sometimes that is the encounter, reconnecting and remembering
the testimony of what God has done in us. And then it had ignited a fire within me.
I remember there were times after that that I would lay in bed and I couldn't sleep because
the power of the Holy Spirit was on me. And I had to come to a place of action to say,
God, I don't know what we need to do, but when I wake up in the morning, I've got to
see souls come to Jesus. I've got to see the sick healed, the dead raised. I've got to
see demons cast out because God, you did it for me. You're alive. You're real. It's not
a fairy tale in the book, in the Bible. It's all real. And so sometimes the encounter is
remembering what did he do for me and how can I partner with the Holy Spirit to see him
replicate that miraculous testimony or the salvation? How can I partner with the Holy
Spirit to see him do that? And I can speak a little bit on behalf of my husband. That
ignites us. There's a fire that's hit our life where we know what he's done for us.
And now we've had the honor and privilege to see what he's done for so many across the
United States in different nations and what God did once. He's going to do it again.
Oh man. I love that. Miriam, that's so powerful. And you brought up such a great point. Sometimes
the encounter is remembering what he delivered you from. And it's so true when we look at
where we were and what God's done now, it makes us do want nothing but to give it to
other people because we're like, if this is available, right? I can't, I can't be okay
with people living in addiction and bondage when I've been set free. If you've been, you
know, given freedom, you want to give freedom away. And you guys model that day in, day
out. Like I love that your ministry is all about freedom. You know, it's, it's what you
carry, whether it's from infirmity, whether it's from addiction, it's what you guys walk
and you walk in a revelation of the freedom in Christ Jesus. So Tommy, what about you?
Yeah. Oh my goodness. I mean, it has honestly for me been from one realm of glory to the
next. I'll tell you the very first time I actually, I would say I really encountered
God was about 23 years ago. Miriam and I were newly married, just came off of living a life
of sin. Honestly, we were two hot messes to say the least, but God had a bigger plan for
us and he called us into the ministry. We had two pastors who just saw the call of God
and said, you guys need to, you're calling, you have a calling on your life. You need
to be part of what we're doing. And we signed up to be their associate pastor, youth pastor,
all of the above really is one of those churches where you did everything. You were the janitor,
you were the worship leader, you were, you know, so, so Mary, I just dove all in and we
were green. We had no idea what we were doing and we were doing all of the right things
and everything was incredible. But I just felt like there was something still missing.
I felt like, you know, there's got to be more to this God that I read about. I didn't want
to just know God just with information. I wanted to know him as the God of encounter
that I read about. And Miriam, honestly, to be honest, Miriam started having these, you
know, encounters with God and angels were showing up and all of this stuff was happening.
She's hearing the Lord and to be honest, I was happy for her, but I was frustrated for
me because I was like, and I remember literally just crying out to God and I was beating my
fist on the bed. I'm like, God, I've got to hear you. I've got to encounter you. And
honestly, it sounded like a lot of complaining. I was in a place of just striving and then
I got a revelation and Corinthians, it talks about beholding. And you know, the Lord began
to show me, listen, you're not transformed by performing, you're transformed by beholding.
So I started, I started to realize I was like, Oh my goodness, okay, you know what I'm going
to do? Jesus is worthy whether I ever encounter him or not. He's still worthy because of what
he did on the cross. And I just made a decision to take up my priestly role and just minister
to him. I got a revelation just to minister to the Lord. And as I was ministering to the
Lord, I would just lift up his name and just love on him. And I would pray for people as
they came to mind. And I'll never forget this is the first time I ever encountered Jesus.
All of a sudden, the whole atmosphere in my bedroom began to change. And actually, let
me back up a little bit. Miriam and I made a decision before that. You know, we had Catherine
at the time. She's our oldest daughter. She was the little thing. And so we would take
turns. She would go into the bedroom and lock the door and then she would come out and I
would go in and we would watch Catherine or do we were in school at the time. And so it
was my turn. I was in there and I'm sitting there just worshiping Jesus and I'd never
encountered him, never heard his voice, never felt his presence. And I'm there and the whole
atmosphere changed and everything in my being knew it. Everything. I didn't have to guess.
I didn't have to wonder. I knew that Jesus was in the room. It was that manifest presence
of God that just descended in the room and I was apprehended. I began. I was overwhelmed
by the love of God so much so where I began to weep uncontrollably for hours and I just
laid in the floor undone. And literally in that moment of encounter, in that weightiness
of presence, I honestly was like things were coming out of my mouth that scared me like,
God, I'll do anything. I'll go anywhere. I'll do whatever you want us to do. And he had
my yes. And when I came out of the encounter, I was like, what in the world was that I'd
never encountered that before. And then I realized later it was the baptism of his
love. You know, love compels us to do things that we could never do on our own love compels
us to take up our cross daily and follow after him. And that's exactly what God was saying.
He says, listen, what you're going to need in these coming days in the next season of
your life, you're going to be, you're going to need to be immersed in the love of God.
And so that was my very first. I've had many other encounters since then, divine impartation.
I mean, so many ways that God likes to your vehicles that he likes to use to distribute
his presence on your life. But I'd say that was probably one of the most defining moments
in my life was that, that encounter with his manifest presence, which just wrecked me
forever with his love.
You know, Tommy, actually everybody, you know, it's so funny because everything from
cruises to eating out food to movies, Marvel, the word you hear over over again is experience.
Come get this seven day cruise experience. Come get this dining culinary experience,
experience, experience, experience. And I think for a lot of listeners, and I love what
you guys are sharing is that it's like when your experience of God isn't ongoing, it sets
an expiration date on your revelation because a revelation that isn't rooted in a current
experience becomes religious like history, tradition after a while. And so I think there's
so many people that when they hear this, because they've not had that place of continued ongoing
experience, the Bible says, taste and see that the Lord is good. Jesus wants to walk
a walk with us. The Holy Spirit is sent and He would make Jesus real to us. And what I'm
hearing you guys say is it Jesus done it. And in that freshness is the outbirth of so
much of the things that you guys are seeing. And so that just stood out to me and that
inspires me too to say, God, I want more. I want the more.
Absolutely. And I just want to, I just want to just real quick encourage people that may
be listening right now. I just, I'm just kind of feeling the presence of the Lord on this.
Just know that there is more and it's really easy. You know, you don't have to strive,
just quit performing. You know, God told me a long time ago, listen, just put away the
prayer list. Like I think prayer lists are, they have their place, but he's like, you
know what, just put away the prayer list, just come be with me, come dine with me. And
I'll, and the Lord said, I'll deal with your prayer list because I know what you need before
you ask of it. And so just, I just want to encourage those. There is always more. If
you ever get to a place where you feel like you've experienced all there is to God, then
you're sitting under religious spirit, you know, and so it's like, wait, come on, like
there's more, there is more. And so that's why I love that scripture from glory to glory,
from glory to glory. There's always more. I love that Tommy. You know, I always say,
when someone says they're bored and they're, they're life with the Lord, I'm like, then
you haven't had a fresh encounter lately. You haven't been spending time in the presence
of the Lord. Cause if you're bored or you feel like I've been there, done that, then
you haven't been experiencing the reality of the living King. Cause every single encounter
is fresh and deep and transforming. And so I love your guys' stories. I love what Sean
said, you know, and like Sean and I, you guys travel and you minister, like those initial
encounters actually translated for you bringing, bringing that to other people all over the
world. And so now what God's done in you, now he's doing through you, very similar to
what Miriam shared. And you really are living that. What are you guys seeing as you minister
around the world, whether it's in America or beyond, what are kind of the key things
you're seeing God do right now in the church at large?
Wow. I would say he's igniting a hunger. He's igniting a hunger for the real thing. You
know, I really believe that the Holy spirit is igniting a hunger in believers and unbelievers
alike to search out the real thing. So that way when they see the real presence of Jesus,
when they see the image of Christ in us as it should be, Paul says we're supposed to
be living epistles, walking advertisements of what the gospel really is. And so I believe
that the Holy spirit's igniting a hunger in them so that when we truly come in with the
power of the Holy spirit, we take our eyes off of our inability, put it on Jesus, the
author and finisher of our faith, they come in and they recognize something. There's even
a discernment that kicks in and they're like, wait a second, there's something different
here because I don't feel the same way. It reminds me of, there was a meeting that we
did and there was a gentleman who had just done drugs in the parking lot and he felt
compelled to come to the meeting. Nobody was twisting his arm other than the spirit of
God and God began to ignite a hunger in his life. He began to pull him in and he walked
in and I don't even know what I was saying, but after the meeting, he came down and he
said, when I walked in, I saw you preaching, you were talking about the Holy spirit and
he said, I saw lightning in the room and I thought it was because of the drugs that I
was on, but then all of a sudden you begin to talk about Jesus being our savior and
our baptizer and the Holy spirit and he said, I sobered up and my immediate response was
they gave me, and he said the name, but they gave me a bad street drug. He thought somebody
like fooled him and gave him a bad street drug and then he realized that God sobered
him up in a moment and he gave his life to Jesus and he got set free completely of that
addiction and a year later, I was able to make contact with a friend of his and he's
still set free and sober and in a men's group and all the things. The spirit of God is drawing
people to Jesus, which is one of his jobs. That's what he's going to do. He's going
to draw all men to Jesus and he's igniting a hunger and we're finding that on the east
coast, the west coast of the United States, places that have been written off by Christians,
by religious spirits that like, oh, it's too hard. They're too far gone. God is igniting
revival. He's igniting a hunger. He's drawing people to himself through the Holy spirit
and it doesn't matter what background we have. It doesn't matter if we have a long list of
letters behind our name while I honor education. As long as we give them our yes and we're
willing to preach the gospel with the demonstration, the Holy spirit will come and he will confirm
it and he's setting people free. He's healing them. He's saving them. He's delivering them
and we see God truly reviving our nation back to life right now.
Oh my goodness. That is so strong. That is so powerful, Maryam. And I love that you followed
up with that young man and a year later, he's on fire for God, living for the Lord, has
not gone back to drugs because when you get set free by Jesus, you get set free. Like
Sean's grandma's testimony, you know, she got radically delivered from decades of alcoholism
and she says, baby doesn't, you know, she said, grandbaby and maybe Sean can say better
than me. Grandma doesn't need 12 steps. She just needs one step Jesus. And it really
is the power of one encounter. And I feel like our nation is in a moment of one encounter
and one encounter, everything changes. Tommy, what about you? What are you seeing?
Oh my goodness. It is, I'm going to tell you, we are just seeing a greater manifestation
of the glory. Now this week could take a whole subject on this, a whole different podcast,
but we literally are seeing that weightiness of presence in such a way where people are
getting touched by God, filled with the Holy Spirit, delivered of demons, healed without
anybody laying hands on them, without any kind of personal ministry. And I love what Ruth
Ward-Heffelin said. She said that she's a prophet back in the 80s and 90s. Just admire
her so much. But she says, listen, what God intends to do in the last days will only be
accomplished in the glory. And I feel like we have crossed over the threshold. We're
stepping into that dimension, that realm of great glory. And we're beginning to see it.
We're beginning to see it. Number one, crossing denominational lines. Miriam and I were just
in Houston at a Baptist church. This is the interesting thing. We did not know that we
were being invited to a Baptist church. Praise God. I love the Baptist. Come on somebody
for the Baptist. She came out of the Baptist denomination as a little girl. But we were
invited to minister. We had no idea that we were being invited. But this pastor, we did
know. And we didn't know him. He had been there, I think, only for eight months. He
was a new pastor there. And he's walking us around. He says, oh, by the way, this is
a Baptist church. And I've only been here for eight months. But I want to get all my
deacons filled with the Holy Ghost. So I'm like, okay. Wow. So I'm not kidding. You guys,
like this is this is the honest to God truth. We went back to the hotel. I was like, Lord,
if you don't show up, like, right, like, we need you. So no kidding. So we're there. And
we begin to minister. Miriam's preaching on the fire of God. I'm we're up there together.
And we begin to minister. And all of a sudden, the glory of God came into that room. There
was probably, I don't know, four or 500 people there. And the glory came to that room. And
we invited people to come up and receive the baptism of fire. And the whole congregation
came to the front. Children literally listening, children falling out under the power of God,
eight, nine years old, sitting there with their eyes wide open, just totally blasted
by God. Teenagers under the power apprehended the teenagers. There's probably about 30 or
40 teenagers. When we were praying for them, they all went out under the power of God.
And as soon as they hit the floor, they hit the floor and they were hit with holy laughter.
Okay, they don't have context for this. And so God is just releasing His glory. We saw
miracles, metal in this lady's neck dissolved. There was a girl there who had an 18 year
disease that caused her to go deaf in one ear. Her ear opened up. No one laid hands
on her. These are the kinds of things that God is doing. So He's increasing His glory.
He's crossing denominational lines. He's also coming in unconventional places and spaces.
We've been just, God just said, listen, you know, Maryam had the wild idea. We had a local
coffee shop here in Middle Othien and we just wanted to host something, you know, locally.
And we've just asked the owners if they'd be willing to allow us just to kind of hold
a worship night. And they said, absolutely, we've had, we've been dreaming of this. And
the name of the coffee house is Moravian Coffee House. I thought that was kind of cool. We've
just been meeting, but the glory has been coming on this coffee shop. Two or 300 people showing
up when we do these and people are getting delivered of demons, healed, all of these things.
And so this is what we're seeing and we'll be talking about it more when we're there
with you guys. But God is anointing people right now to be carriers of this weighty glory
that He's pouring out. And oh my goodness, it's just exciting to see.
Wow. Man, oh my goodness. That is phenomenal. And the cool thing with kids is that kids don't
fake stuff, right? They're not going to laugh if it isn't God. They're not going out into
power. There's no courtesy falls amongst Gen Z. They hunger for the authentic. It's got
to be the real deal. I am just so curious. I'm going to jump in and ask you guys a question
here. Just over you guys' years, and I know you guys have got at least a couple books
out, Miriam. You have the most recent. You guys did another one as it relates to prophetic
decrees and principles and other stuff, declarations. I want to ask you, what are some principles
and revelations that you guys have learned that you can share with our listeners as it
relates to walking in revival, making revival a lifestyle. None of us wants revival to be
a meeting with a clock on the wall that starts at a time, ends at a time. I love to say that
if your revival starts and ends, it wasn't revival in terms of how God intended it.
You had a good meeting. You had a, you know, maybe out boring, but revival has got to leave
the building. It's got to keep going. And so what are some principles and revelation
you guys have learned in terms of living a revival lifestyle?
Um, yeah, I would, gosh, there's so many, but I would choose risk. I would, I would
say risk like doing it afraid, taking on the Acts chapter four prayer, God fill us with
boldness, do the very thing that might get you in trouble with the religious spirit,
do the very thing that might push you out of popularity and all of those things because
you know what? A Jesus was persecuted and they didn't like him. We just have to throw
the fear of man out. We just have to come into this walk, throw the fear of man out
and receive the fear of the Lord. You know, I love revivalist quotes. John Wesley, I believe
said, I fear God too much to fear man. And I think we have to receive the fear of the
Lord in place of the fear of man so that we can take risk and risk. When I say risk, it's
like John Wimber, the late John Wimber, he says, you know, faith is failed, R-I-S-K.
And so the Bible tells us that it's impossible to please God without faith. And regardless
of the outcome of when we lay hands on the sick, whether they get healed or not, the
father's happy with that. Whether we lay hands to see the dead raised, which Tommy and I
have done that multiple times and we are believing we're going to see the dead raised. We believe
that the resurrection power of Jesus is going to be restored to the church, the body of
Christ in America once again. And so I believe as we take God's word and we step out in
faith, we step out in risk through the power of the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit.
We cannot do anything without Him. We cannot take a risk. We cannot be bold. We cannot
obey Jesus. We cannot live right. We cannot be holy. That's another thing. We just got
to lay it down now. But in Christ, in the fellowship of Jesus, in the intimacy of the Holy Spirit,
it's the John 15, abiding me and I will abide in you and we will bear much fruit when we
receive the intimacy and the presence of the Holy Spirit that we need. And I feel it even
now. Gosh, I believe that people listening right now are receiving just such a fresh
touch of the Holy Spirit to take risks that there's a holy boldness coming upon people
right now to begin to advance the kingdom of God. So I would just say the intimacy with
the Holy Spirit, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit so that we can be risk takers and faith
walkers to see Jesus glorified. My goodness, that's so good. And you're
so right. It's when you take risks that you see the impossible. You see the miraculous,
right? You're not going to see the stuff if you can't take the risk. And I love that because
you're not doing it because you feel like, Oh, I got this. You're doing it because you're
like God, you said in your word, you'll do it. So I'm partnering and I'm agreeing with
God's word and there might even be fear, but you're pushing through the fear and you're
standing on God, you know, and you're standing on his word and I love that. And I think our
listeners today, they're hearing because I love this question Sean asked. They're hearing
you guys move so strong and signs wonders and miracles are like, but how do I do it?
And just you breaking it down and Tommy, we can't wait to hear from you, you know, just
breaking it down on like, Hey, it's just risk. I'm just stepping out every single meeting,
every single service, every coffee shop, every, I'm just doing my daily life. I'm just stepping
out every day is full of God risk. And it might sound simple, but if you begin to practice
that risk, that's where you actually begin to have the miraculous released in your life.
So it's like, this is, this is an application moment for someone that's hearing this. This
isn't just something for you to hear. This is something for you to do, right? Tommy and
then Miriam jump back in if you feel like you've got more to share. So I didn't want
to cut you off. I just got excited.
Yeah, well, I go back, that was so good, babe, but I'll go back to even with Chris at the
beginning, you know, before we can have revival through, so we got to have revival in us.
And I'm reminded of that passage in Leviticus six, where, you know, said that God said,
listen, I'm going to send the fire, but you've got to keep it burning. And that's part of
our stewardship, stirring personal revival so that we can have revival around us. And
again, it goes back to the priesthood, I believe I, we said that at the beginning, the priests
were the ones who kept the fire burning. It's our ministry to the Lord and Miriam hit on
that. But there are a few things that I feel like that does help us really steward revival,
keep that fire burning in our life. And number one, I would say is keeping the testimony
of Jesus. What is God doing? Find out what he's doing, where he's doing it, steward it,
talk about it, pray into it, inconvenience yourself if necessary. You know, I, Miriam
said this when a meeting and I'm like, man, I'm taking that, that was so good. But she
said this, she says, listen, when you cry out for revival, what you're crying out for
is God to inconvenience you. And that's exactly, I mean, come on, it's the truth. And so like,
are we willing to be inconvenienced for revival? Because revival can be messy, revival can
be uncomfortable. Revival is going to pull us out of our comfort zone so that the comfort
can come and give us a strength that we need to steward what he wants to take us into.
And so I would say keeping the testimony, you know, being inconvenienced. And also one
of the most key things that I think in terms of stewarding revival, see, walking in miracles
is getting around people who are burning. You know, do you have a people, do you have
a people that you know, who is seeing what you want to see, who is burning, like, come
on, like the birds of a feather flock together. If you're around people that are bringing
you down or, you know, always woe is me, those kinds of things, before long, you're going
to kind of start carrying that. But if you're getting around people who are burning for
Jesus, burning for what God is doing, maybe they're operating at a level of breakthrough
that you're not operating. If you get around them, you'll catch it. We have seen this.
I love, you know, a real quick story just about divine impartation. We had the wonderful
privilege of sitting under Pastor Bill Johnson. He's a father of ours. We loved him dearly.
We love him dearly. And I remember his story about when him and Randy Clark wanted to see
breakthrough in metal dissolving in people's bodies. They had prayed for a lot of people
to be healed and they saw a lot of miracles. But that was the one thing that they never
really saw. But they heard of a man by the name of James Maloney, who was a prophet,
who saw this all the time. And they asked James, listen, James, will you pray for us?
Will you lay your hands on us? We're believing God for this breakthrough. And if you don't
know about laying out of hands, those are listings. Hebrews 6, it's an elementary teaching.
It's divine impartation. But they asked Maloney to pray and they received that prayer and
they begin to see miracles with metal dissolving in people's body. Well, as Bill was sharing
this, Maryam and I are like, sign us up, Papa, Bill, you got to pray for us. We want to see
that breakthrough. And I'm not kidding. Every miracle service that we have, we have at least
one person that metal dissolves in their body. Every single time, every time we do it, we
have at least one person. And it's all because we got around somebody who was carrying something
that we did not have. And so I want to encourage the listeners right now, if you're not walking
in revival, get around somebody who is, because what they carry will rub off on you. Maybe
it's walking in the miraculous, maybe it's having a good marriage. And you're like, you
know what, I don't know how to have a good marriage, get around somebody who's got a
great marriage, they'll rub off on you. You can apply this any way that you want to. And
so yeah, that's what I would say in terms of stewarding personal revival, really what
sets us up for success as we move forward. My goodness. I love that. And you know, I've
seen that in my life and I know Sean would agree he's seen that in his life. That's why
Sean and I always say, get in the room. There's something about when you're in proxy to an
anointing that is unusual or different than what you carry or just in the more of maybe,
you walk in the beginning stages of something, but they walk in such a deep place in it.
You're like, I want more of that. Sean and I, like you guys have positioned ourselves
over and over and over of just sitting underneath, you know, those anointing and Sean, I love
him. You got to share Sean how you would just have, you would literally go up to people
that carry to the end and you would like bend down and put their hand on your head. Cause
you're like, I'm getting that impartation. Like there's something about that hunger and
position yourself for the, for the impartation. Cause I really believe when you get in proxy,
there's an outboring. So true. So true. I managed, you're just
sharing that I can't wait for you guys to come and be with us June 9th. I want you to
lay hands on us, man. And I'm so excited and gloriously jealous for the Bay area to just
have that. And so I'm going to give a shameless mid podcast shout out plug that they're going
to be with us June 9th. You've not forgotten in Oakland, California, 42 92 Keller Avenue,
7pm. We're going to have the Evans with us all, all night. It's going to be profound.
Chris, I want you to go ahead and take it. Yeah. You know, I tell you what, I, as, as
they're talking and we've, we've had the privilege of sitting in their services. We sit on a
prophetic round table together with mama city, Jacobs and we all, she's a spiritual mom in
all of our lives. You know, and I think we, we know what you guys carry. And I love that
you guys have already been coming to California. You already have that in you, your daughters
are part of kind of a circuit riders group. Is it hope for California? Is that what she's
a part of? Or is it praying for California? California will be saved. California will
be saved. I love that because they're leading like prayer worship nights and movements around
California and all different cities. It's such a powerful movement. If you guys don't
know about it and you're part of from California. But what I love is, you know, sitting in that
prophetic round table with you guys and hearing what the Lord shares through you. I want to
pull on that profit in both of you. And whether it's a word specifically for California or
it's a word for the nation or nations at large, whatever it is, what do you feel like are
some key things the Lord has prophesied at this moment? Because I know you guys have
walked in such a depth with God. And again, I've, I've viewed both of you guys in the
office of profit. And you guys have just walked in it so with such integrity. And I've seen
what you prophesied come to pass again and again. So I would love just to give space
for our listeners to hear what's God saying right now. And I know you shared a little
bit, but just like on a, on a prophetic level, what do you feel like God's declaring over
the nations right now?
Yeah. I mean, I know for sure I can start with California. I, we were there two weeks
ago with a Papa Cheyenne and spoke and we're in their house and I teased everybody. I said,
yeah, I said, God's doing such an incredible move in California. Like you guys are keeping
me up at night. I said, because I keep having these encounters and dreams of tsunami waves
that are sweeping the coast. I've seen it in the East Coast, but it's been since January.
It's, it's been like incredible. The recurring dreams of the tsunamis that are hitting the
West Coast. And in the dream, God reveals to me, it's not, I know it's symbolic of a move
of the spirit so much so that I find myself seeing headquarters set up, headquarters of
revival being set up in California in different places in the nation of the United States.
And when I say headquarters, it's like headquarters of revival because the wave hit America and
God is positioning, transitioning people to prepare them for the tsunami wave of his spirit,
the glory of the Lord that's going to sweep into our nation. And God is setting up people
in such a way where they can be glory hubs, if you will, where you don't have to travel
eight days or whatever to get to an outpouring God's positioning people. He's raising up
revivalists in this hour that can steward the glory of the Lord, that can carry the glory
in such a way that cities and regions are transformed, nations are transformed, that
people who are unbelievers drive into a particular location geographically in the spirit of God
arrest them and they begin to come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, crying out,
what must I do to be saved? We've seen this in the first and second great awakening. We've
seen this where people would come in to the to the Massachusetts and to the Bay Harbor
and into places in California, Los Angeles, different places, lands of revival that have
been marked by the spirit of God, wells that are being redugged. Again, people would come
into these regions and they'd say, I need to find a church. I need to find a priest.
I need to find a pastor. They may not have had language, but they knew that the spirit
of God was leading them to and drawing them to Jesus. And so I believe that that is already
happening. We've seen that with the Asbury revival. We've seen that on the West Coast
and the East Coast. I believe we're going to see it in an uptick in the Bay when we
come in June, not because of us, but because God is not a liar. And if he said he's going
to do it, he's going to do it. And I just believe that the Bay is going to be swept
with the glory of the Lord, that it's going to be a Bay of His glory. It's going to be
a glory hub there. And I'm so excited and we're also very honored to be able to partner
with you guys and partner with many people around California because the Lord showed
me in January. He gave me an encounter and I'll transition out, but it's where I saw
the waves again crashing in and I heard thunder. And then all of a sudden the Holy Spirit began
to speak to me in the dream, the book of Psalms that says that the glory of God thunders, the
glory of the Lord thunders over, the voice of the Lord thunders over the waters. And
it was like the water was responding to the thunder. And I began to get a revelation that
the Holy Spirit is going to respond and to confirm the word of the Lord in the preaching
of the gospel. He's going to confirm the gospel. He's going to show people that Jesus is real
all throughout California. Oh my goodness, Miriam, you just don't even know, girl, that
is such the heart of God that just so causes my heart to leave. And isn't it like the Lord?
I think there's so many examples. I think one of them is Barack in the book of Judges
and often God goes to the scene of the deepest oppression to raise up the deliverers for
the moment. And so many people have left California. They've given up on California. They've said
things. There's prophecies out there or have been in the past about the big earthquake
California falling into the Pacific Ocean. But isn't it God that some would say that
that earthquake would cause these tidal waves with destruction, but you're saying you're
seeing a tsunami of awakening come into California. I love that. And our listeners have heard
me share and Christy share so many of the prophetic dreams and encounters we've had
for California. I want to ask you, Tommy, my brother, the same question, man, your prophetic
bead is just solid. You're just one of the friendliest, most Christ-like, loving, truth-speaking
dudes I know. I mean, what do you feel like God is saying? And again, it could be California,
it could be the nation, it could be for the listeners. What do you feel like God is saying?
Well, I would just say yes and amen to what Maryam was talking about. And I mentioned
a little bit earlier about the glory. And then I'll mention one specific thing that
I do think that he's doing this year and into next. But I'll go ahead and tell you the specific
thing. One of the things that Lord began to show me for the year 2023 and into 24 that
he was releasing the spirit of a pioneer to pioneer and to build and to plant, to pave
a way in places that you've never been before. And so I believe that is in the natural building,
buildings, ministries, businesses, all kinds of things like that. But I also feel like God
is releasing that grace to even pave a way and places into God that you've never been
before. And so there's something about the pioneering spirit that God is releasing and
anointing for that for people to step into. So listen, this is the year and even going
into next year, it's the year to start that business. It's the year to start that ministry.
It's the year to start buying the land. I believe there's some people, Maryam and I
are believing God for some real estate because we feel like we're supposed to do that. And
so I believe that there are people right now that are listening, God's been speaking to
you about buying the land. Go buy the land, start the process, put your hand to something.
There's a scripture, I think it's in 2 Kings 4. There was a woman who was a widow and had
two sons and she was in a stuck place. She was in a hard place. The debtors were coming
to collect, the debt collectors were coming to collect for her because she owed them a
lot of money. They were going to take her boys, her kids and the profit shows up. Come
on, the profit shows up and he says, listen, what do you have? And she says, I have only
a jar and I feel like that's a word of the Lord right now as it pertains this pioneering,
anointing, stepping into some new things. What is it that you currently possess in your account?
Use what you have, put it into the hand of the master and watch it multiply. Oftentimes
we're so afraid to move forward. We're so afraid to step out and take that step of
faith because we're afraid we're going to fail. But listen, that's where the enemy wants
you. He wants you to stay in a place of stagnation that I hear the Lord saying, step into those
unknown places and take some risk and use what you currently possess and watch God multiply
it in your hand. That's the number one. But I would want to just add to what Mary was saying.
My goodness, a lot of prophets, including one myself, that the 2023 was going to be
a Psalms 23 kind of year. Psalms 23, we've heard it. There's many of this listing. You've
been through some stuff. You've walked through some valleys. You felt like, where are you,
God? But I'd like to propose to you that even in the midst of the valley, God is anointing
your head with oil and you're going to overflow. It's not the end of your story. I just prophesy
this. Even though the enemies are just kind of gathering around you, resisting what God
wants to do it. You remember you're seated at the table with the King and God wants to
give you that revelation. But the beautiful thing about Psalms 23, God said to me, he
says, Psalms 23 is the year 2023. Psalms 23 is in preparation for the year 2024, which
is Psalms 24, which is all about the King of glory. So this 23rd year, we're stepping
into the year 2024 and we're going to begin to see this great glory. We're already beginning
to see it in 2023. I'm like, what is it going to look like in 2024? And I had a dream. I
just thought of this dream and I had a dream where an angel showed up in the middle of
the dream and he showed me a calendar and he pointed to the month of March 2024. So
I'm just putting this out there. I don't know what that means. Watch the month of March
2024. I think it's going to be something extremely significant that God's going to do. And I
just want to encourage people that if you know, things that you're going through right
now is in preparation for what God's about to do. And I'm just excited. But yeah, that's
all I wanted to add to what Mary was saying. I thought that was really good.
What I love about both you guys is it number one, you guys are revivalists. You guys are
risk takers. It's not just talk, it's your walk. But the other thing is that no one
can be around you guys for any amount of time and not feel faith begin to spark in their
hearts. It's like you guys have believed God. And I feel like faith, if you've got a lot
of options, a lot of times human nature, you don't go towards faith. Faith usually becomes
that last resort. I'm thinking Hebrews 11, many of those patriarchs and matriarchs of
faith, they were only able to see that exploit because they took a risk because they had
no other options. It's not like Moses had another option with Pharaoh and army breathing
down his neck. It's like, you better lift up the rod and believe God. And you guys have
done that again and again. And so obviously, June 9th, you guys are going to be with us.
Anything that you want to share in terms of telling people the importance of getting in
the building, it is a free event. So come on out to the bay. There's some great places
you could come afterwards and say you were at that revival. They broke out on June 9th,
2023, the spread all across California. But anything you guys want to share as the terms
of why people should get in the building June 9th?
Well, I just want to say I wasn't going to share this, but I'm going to share this. I
want you there because it is Maryam and I's 23rd anniversary and we have made a decision
on his birthday. We know, listen, this is crazy. I'm just going to quickly say this.
The year that we got married, Pentecost weekend just happened to fall on that weekend. It
was kind of a weird June. You don't really see Pentecost on June, but it happened to
fall that year, 23 years ago. And we had no idea what Pentecost even was. We didn't know.
We were like Pentecost. That sounds like fun. And it's crazy. It's a whole long story.
We'd have to go back to our Genesis, but at the time Maryam and I were two hot messes.
Nobody wanted to marry us and check this out. This is how redemptive God is. We go and we
talk to a friend of a friend who said that her Jewish rabbi might marry us. And we went
to talk to him. He was a Missianic Jewish rabbi. We sit down. We're just like, we want
somebody to marry us. We don't care who it is. And he says, well, I got to get a sign.
When are you wanting to get married? We told him the date. He looked at the calendar. He
looked back at us. He says, I'll marry you. That's Pentecost weekend. And that's how redemptive.
And then he just sings this blessing that the weekend of our marriage and saying this blessing
in Hebrew over us. But the thing that happened on the day, there was no forecast of rain whatsoever.
And it rained torrential downpours. And God was prophesying our destiny. He was prophesying
what we were called to do. He was prophesying that you're going to take Pentecost all around
the world. And this is what I believe is going to happen. This June 9th is extremely significant.
When we got the invitation, we were like, we've got to do it. We've got to be there.
And so we just signed up and we're like, we're going because we're believing that God is
going to pour something out so fresh. And I believe that people are going to be apprehended
by the glory. I believe people are going to be apprehended by the spirit of God. People
are going to encounter God like they've never encountered Him before. It's that glory to
glory that we were talking about earlier. But I also sense, I feel that, and we're going
to talk about this, but I feel like this is a commissioning service. This is going to
be an anointing service. And God's going to put something on your life that you didn't
have the minute before you walked in the building. It has nothing to do with Maryam and I. It
has everything to do with what Jesus is doing. So get in the building. There's going to be
a time of impartation. We're going to pray for everybody. We're ready to do it. We're
all in. I know Sean and Christa, they're just burning and we're just honored to be with
them. And we're just so thankful to run with these guys. And I know what they're stewarding
and what they're cultivating in the Bayer area has already laid a beautiful tapestry
of what God's going to continue to do in that region. So we're excited. Come on. How about
you too, Maryam? What would you say to someone that's thinking about coming? I tell you,
I believe that people are going to see the resurrection power of Jesus. I believe that
Jesus is going to come in there and show people that he's real. I believe that bodies are
going to be able to bring those that need a miracle because the presence of the Holy
Spirit will confirm the gospel and the gospel will be preached. You will hear what Jesus
has done, what he has accomplished on the cross, and therefore people will be set free.
Dead things will be raised back to life because Jesus is revival. And I believe that bodies
are going to be healed. Marriages are going to be restored. Families are going to be restored.
If you don't know who Jesus is, if you're curious about everything that you've heard
on this podcast, we want you to come so that your curiosity can turn into an encounter
with God so that you can encounter Jesus so that you can see that he's real and so that
you can be filled with the Holy Spirit so that you will be empowered to live a life
for him. I see people are going to have cycles broken off of their life. Every enemy that
is tried to hold people back from walking into the fullness of their calling, I believe
that that enemy is going to be lifted and removed off of people's lives. And it's going
to make an impact for the generation. Hey, bring those in the Gen Z generation. Bring
those that are young, old, in between, that need to see God. This is a multi-generational
revival. God is hooking up the generations to work together to see the kingdom of God
advanced. And I say that because this is what we've been seeing, but we know it's going
to go to another level June 9th in the Bay Area. I believe there's going to be such a
shift for California because God is going to call those in California to be a remnant
to see the glory of the Lord. Hit the golden state once again. Oh my goodness. You guys
are about to make me shout and I would just mess up all the mics and everything. Seriously,
anyone who knows me knows I'm super excitable anyway, but then the spirit of the Lord and
people that are connected to God in expectancy and your phrase, God's going to turn your
curiosity into an encounter. Oh my goodness. Hey, Tommy and Miriam, how can our listeners
stay in contact with you guys? Is there any kind of projects, books, stuff? I know there
are people listening. I already know you guys are close friends. I know how to get ahold
of all your stuff, but there are a lot of people that don't. So can you share with us
how we can partner with you, how we can follow you? And if there's any kind of product that
I think our listeners will love to get your stuff and even any of your social media things.
So go ahead.
So we've got a few books. The first one we have Decrees that Unlock Heaven's Power. That
was a revelation that God gave us before we were seeing revival, before we were seeing
miracle signs and wonders, before we were seeing what we're seeing. God gave us a revelation.
It's time to get on page with heaven and that begins with renewing your mind by declaring
what God's word says over you. So we have over 200 decrees in there, biblical based
decrees, author's notes. You can get that on Amazon or anywhere books are sold. That's
one. Number two, Miriam's new book that she had come out this last year, Glory Miracles.
It's her story. It's our story. It's all, she got all kinds of testimonies and application
and it's just an incredible book. I was reading it and I was actually crying as I read it
because I was so touched. It's just so touching. And it will, it will, there's a divine impartation
to walk in miraculous and it will actually train you to create atmospheres for miracles
to flow. You can get that on Amazon as well or anywhere books are sold. And then I've
got a book coming out in August, but you, it's out for pre order. You can go to Amazon
right now. I'm pre order. I'd love for everybody to do that. If you're able to, it's called
anointed for glory and it's all about being anointed to carry the manifest presence of
God. It talks about learning to discern the vehicles of the glory, the different ways
that it manifests, partnering with angels. It's got all kinds of things in there and
it's loaded. It's loaded to help you and activate you into the realms of glory. And so you can
get those books anywhere books are sold or on Amazon. The way that you can get ahold
of us, you can go to our website at revivalmandate.org. You can sign up for our newsletter. There,
all of those information about us. You can go there and then we're all about Instagram.
So we've got, you know, you can follow me at Tommy Ray Evans on Instagram. You can follow
my wife at Miriam underscore Evans. Is it two underscores baby or one, two underscores,
excuse me. So it's Miriam underscore underscore Evans there on Instagram. And those are the
best ways to get ahold of us to follow us. And yeah.
Wow. I'm telling you what, and I'm, I'm super excited too, because you guys are going to
stay with us when you come. So we'll be able to stay up and talk or grab some time together.
We sure love you guys. Thanks so much for stopping by. Keep it 100. Oh my goodness. This thing
is just gold to get time with you guys to hear your hearts. And you got me so pumped.
I'm going to get on the phone. I'm going to start calling folks left and right when we're
going to get the bear in full force. Our first, obviously we did a conference momentum that
God just shocked us. And we really felt, Christ in particular, we're ready to keep this thing
going because a momentum isn't just an event. It's got to be ongoing or else it was just
a moment. And our whole thing is that we want a moment that won't stop. That's how you get
momentum. So we, within two weeks, we called our first momentum night. In two weeks, we
had a building, 400 people showed up. There were people in the four year they just, and
so we had our second one. We didn't even pick a good weekend. We pick mother's day weekend
on the night when the go to state warriors are playing LA in the playoffs. And we still
had close to three, 300 people showed up. We had miracles. The first time we had deliverances
where people get healed, baptized in a holy ghost, people stayed till like started seven.
People stayed till 1145 at night. So we got to get up and go group. They're going to be
ready to run with you guys. Thanks so much. You guys, we sure love you guys.
We love you guys too. And we're just can't wait to hang out with you guys. And y'all
are so precious and we just love you deeply. And you're always so encouraging and you just
champion people so well. And we just love you. You're such a brother to us and we love
you guys so much. You and Chris are incredible. All right. God bless. Oh my gosh. I love them.
I am so excited. They're coming to the Bay. This conversation got me all the more expectant
for June 9th because it's about to blow out in the Bay. And I just believe they're going
to be signs, wonders of miracles because it's what they walk in, but it's also what they
impart. And so if you want an impartation for a mere for miracles, for signs and wonders,
get into the house on June 9th, but I just love their heart. They're just amazing people.
You know, we were texting back and forth after the podcast and what I loved is Miriam said
this and I was like, you know, it's so true. She's like spiritual parents are incredible,
but spiritual siblings are equally as important. And she's like, you guys feel like our spiritual
siblings. It is true. They really are family to us. And it feels like our brother and our
sister and we're just cheering each other on and we love and value what they carry.
They are the real deal. They live with integrity. And so just to have them come is such an honor.
So Bay Area show up and show out because God's about to encounter you. June 9th, momentum
night. It's going to be amazing. It really is amazing. And I just feel like for people
100 tribe, when you, when you see things from heaven's perspective, it's completely different
than seeing things from earth's perspective. And one of the things that I feel like in
this entire conversation, it's just a challenge to see things from heaven's perspective. We
can look at a disease. We can look at an impossibility. We could look at the fact that maybe a promise
hasn't come through for us, or we could look at a situation and see all of the crisis,
but not see where Christ is Christ, the savior that is. So I just believe there's a challenge
right now to begin to pray that God would begin to give you eyes to see as heaven sees.
As if you can get the optics of heaven. You can walk in the narrative of the kingdom.
