PETER THE DAY AFTER

Maybe you can see that something radical needs to happen. May you see how Satan has sold so many believers fool’s gold. Instead of taking up weapons mighty to the tearing down of strongholds, they pursue money, cheap grace, and safe spaces.
Maybe you can see how shallow, flattering, teaching is the perfect greenhouse gas. It’s fumes dull reality. It kills natural urgency. Taking a stand has become a distant fantasy to many…but what about you?
You see how faith has grown flabby. You can bear to see how many don’t know our weapons. They don’t know our authority. They have no marching orders. They don’t know what to say to this generation. Most of all, you feel a deep urgency and you are shocked at how ignorant so many are about what is right around the corner.
Peter recognized when government crossed the line. Acts 4: 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
He also understood what to do when government tries to ban the Gospel: “Acts 5: 28 saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!” 29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
They are coming after our freedom. They will force feed our children the Antichrist agenda. That is…unless we wake up to our purpose and destiny. I am calling you out for special power in this hour. However, we are to be alert not alarmed. Let the dire consequences light a fire in your soul! Is God selecting you to give a weapons grade faith and boldness?
If you are finally ready, then do these things:
1. You must be filled or refilled with the Holy Spirit. You must have fire, or you must have fresh fire. The courage to face the onslaught of hatred that will be thrown at you can never be met by human power. To say what you need to say, to obey when you need to obey can’t come from human motivation. You must have the same Spirit that fueled world-changing saints in all times. God never meant for anyone to preach or lead without a clear baptism of the Holy Spirit.
2. You must flow in signs and wonders. Our culture is beyond words. They must see proof of the power of God. God means for you to provide that proof. The authority you need won’t come cheaply or instantly. (Read my blog on the price of God’s miracle working power https://wp.me/p1vrzp-53e
3. Get ready to do something for God that will boggle your mind. God is selecting people and working in them for unmatched power to attack evil. Habakkuk 1: 5 “Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you.”
He is creating people who can turn the tide of wickedness. He doesn’t care about your age or your education. He searches for someone who is travailing over the evil and will die without power and purpose. They want to be in the fight—they want to be in the thick of it. Isaiah 6: 8 says, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
4. Prepare to pray in a way you never imagined. God is pulling you out of the damaged religious crowd into special intimacy with him. You are not going to pray like before. E.M Bounds said, “To say prayers in a decent, delicate way is not heavy work. But to pray really, to pray till hell feels the ponderous stroke, to pray till the iron gates of difficulty are opened, till the mountains of obstacles are removed, till the mists are exhaled and the clouds are lifted, and the sunshine of a cloudless day brightens-this is hard work, but it is God’s work, and man’s best labor.”
What do all of these things I am asking you to do have in common? Every one of them involves a leap out of dead religion. They are a courageous declaration of war on the godless ideologies that are destroying our nation. They are an irrevocable decision to be in the middle of God’s greatest acts in history.
God has already started. Never have I seen a meeting with this level of anticipation. The wisdom of the location was utterly confirmed today. “What is this?” Again, and again we got that question from passersby. After Joshua Olmos answered one man, he said, I run a recovery home just blocks from here. I am going to bring everyone in the home to this tent.”
Meanwhile our ringing phones tell another part of the story. People are braving great distances to be at this meeting—flying in from thousands of miles away—believing for a miracle.
Univision and Spanish radio carry the message of this tent meeting to the Hispanic community. Pastor Cesar Minera has thrown his considerable influence in the city behind Living Proof Reno.
This Sunday Morning, the powerful congregation at Spirit Filled Church with Pastor Roger Canary will let me deliver the final marching orders to the army of God.
Is this my last chance to invite you? Our Living Proof tent crusade starts this Sunday September 23rd at 6PM and then 7PM Monday through Friday September 28th. Are we expecting many to be saved and healed? You better believe it!
But here’s the most urgent part of my message to you: Three things will decide the magnitude of this meeting:
1.Prayer: God has chosen to work when we ask. This is the foundation for everything.
2. The personal invitation: Technology has changed but one thing remains constant…people come because you bring them.
3. Overcoming the myth of distance. I want to spend a extra time on this one. People carried their sick loved ones for days to get to Jesus. They still do in underdeveloped countries. Do you live near Reno? I mean within 150 miles. What is 150 miles in a car when there is the possibility of a miracle?
Mark 6: 55 says, “they ran through that whole surrounding region and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.” That last phrase says it all!
Under the tent, there will be wonderful music, powerful messages and surprises. But, the greatest reason to bring people is because we know Jesus will be there.
This is a major prayer alert. The Big Ask. That is what I am calling for. I need you to pray the big ask…I need a deluge of prayer right now. Ask big! An electrifying opportunity has fallen on us. This is no exaggeration.
As you read this, local churches, outreach ministries, Inner City Action from Stockton, along with Mario Murillo Ministries, are combing the Reno/Sparks Nevada region. We are in the homeless camps—not just with food and clothing but a powerful witness. We are inviting the entire community. You can already see our posters in store windows. We are handing out tens of thousands of cards.
Are the windows of heaven opening over Reno and Sparks Nevada? A growing number of local leaders sense it. There’s something special about this moment. There are powerful indicators: The region has been bathed in prayer—we saw unprecedented support and unity at our leader’s meeting August 4th—the city has given us a prime site in the heart of downtown Reno.
Now let me talk to you about that prime site: It’s 700 Sutro Street. Our tent will be visible from interstate 80. That means anyone who drives through Reno will see our tent. Our tent will cover most of the lot, so the city has given us permission to use large parking lots that surround the site. FAVOR!
Teams of intercessors will be walking this sacred ground between now and the start of our Living Proof Crusade. They will ask for signs and wonders to explode on the people. They will ask that cars driving past will feel the tractor beam of God’s love, pull off the interstate and come in the tent. Please agree with us for mighty miracles!
Here’s the most urgent part of my letter: It is a fact of war that when armies are stymied, a breakthrough anywhere can turn the tide of the war. Just the report of a decisive victory anywhere can ignite the morale of an entire army.
This means that even if you don’t live anywhere near Reno you need to pray fervently for this outreach. It does not matter in which city the American Awakening starts. Lord, just let it start!
Now I am talking to anyone who lives near the Reno/Sparks region. Christians have evangelized for thousands of years. In that time, knowledge and technology has exploded. Yet, two forces remain omnipotent: prayer and the personal invitation.
I know, because I have won souls for over 50 years, starting at U.C. Berkeley and in the Bay Area. Nothing will ever replace the power of prayer, and word of mouth. I can’t stress this enough: pray and bring someone to the tent!
Mark 6: 55 says, “they ran through that whole surrounding region and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.” That last phrase says it all!
Under the tent, there will be wonderful music, powerful messages and surprises. But, the greatest reason to bring people is because we know Jesus will be there.
All seats are free. Remember, we’ll start at 6 PM on Sunday and at 7 PM Monday-Friday. Let’s us pray for those you are bringing for healing or deliverance. Call us at 775 238 3473. I can’t wait to see you at the tent and I can’t wait to tell our partners across America what is happening under the tent! -Mario Murillo

In a desperate bid to gain popularity for this ideology, young leftists now claim Jesus was a socialist. In this blog, I aim to show you why that is an impossible and illogical claim.
Let’s not waste time reading an economist’s definition of socialism. Since socialism has never worked, it is not entitled to an intellectual definition. But some say that Denmark is proof that socialism works.
However There is a reason the prime minister of Denmark stated in 2015 at the Kennedy School of Government, “I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear: Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”
One of the best descriptions of socialism is this one from Kayleigh Mc Enany who said, “In the last century, socialism and communism proved to be bankrupt ideologies that crippled economies, impoverished millions, destroyed personal freedom, brought dictators to power, sparked wars and turned millions of people into refugees fleeing their home countries to seek freedom in the U.S. and elsewhere.
Nations in Eastern Europe abandoned the failed ideologies. The Soviet Union broke up. And even Russia and China were forced to adopt some free market practices to improve their economies and the lives of their people.”
To see what I mean ask any socialist this one question: How are you going to pay for it? Prepare the blank stare. Here’s Jesus on that issue: Luke 14: 28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proposes Medicare for all (Bernie Sanders’ last proposed plan along these lines cost an additional $1.4 trillion per year), a federal jobs guarantee, tuition free college for everyone, repealing the First Amendment, abolishing ICE, and government spending to end an oil-based economy. She’s a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a group so radical that their New York branch proposes abolishing profits.
Refusing to face the cost is a cornerstone of Bernie Sanders’ road show. Take for example his fantasy about Medicare for everyone. Even a left-leaning study group admitted it would cost $34 trillion. Doubling everyone’s taxes would not make a dent in this single program.
(Did you know that Sanders was once kicked out of a commune for refusing to work? How against work must you be when hippies think you are lazy?)
But there is the dark side of socialism that is in total opposition to Jesus. Jesus taught giving—heart giving. Socialism kills the grace of giving.
Dorothy Sayers, a close friend of C.S. Lewis, and an Anglican Theologian said this, “The difference is, with the true church support is a Gospel concern with gifts of compassion and care; with government it is a legal issue and the money is exacted from the rich in taxes. The sad consequence is that love is thereby eliminated and replaced by law and civic duty.” Socialism indeed kills love.
Jesus said, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” -Luke 6:38 He taught giving from the heart not forced redistribution of wealth.
Ben Shapiro summed it up, “Socialism is an Immoral, evil, unfair, discriminatory and disgusting system. “Socialism is bad because socialism is tyranny. Not ‘it’s an aspect of tyranny.’ Socialism itself is tyranny.” How could Jesus be a socialist?
