MISSING THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY

by | Mar 4, 2021 | Christianity Today | 38 comments

This is a deeply frustrating moment for me. The Reason? It is because I see two forces in the process of colliding. One is wonderful beyond words, and the other is inexplicably tragic.

The American church is being handed the opportunity of a lifetime, but she has not seized it. Right now, a great number of Americans want to be born again. I have never seen so many—not even during the Jesus Movement.

I know what the media wants you to believe about Americans. They want you to believe that the message of the Gospel is grossly unpopular—but that is a lie! And the paradox is that the only way to prove that it is a lie, is by shaking the church out of the very tragedy I am trying to explain.

What is holding us back? It seems we are drained from taking out the trash. What in the world do I mean by that?

Nehemiah 4:10, “Then Judah said, ‘The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.’”

Think of that! One of the most glorious and urgent projects in history was held up for the strangest of reasons.  Nehemiah’s workers faced ridicule from their enemies. They faced terrorism from surrounding tribes. But it was taking out the garbage and removing all the rubble from the past that sapped their will to build.

Do you realize what Democrat leaders have done? They have made Americans utterly miserable. Even Biden’s avid fans (if there are any) are in agony because of his leadership. Democrat Governors like Newsom and Cuomo are being assailed for destroying lives. Millions are groping in darkness, in a despair that has been created by the Democrat Party, which is why they are ripe for the Gospel.

That is why our tent overflows with unchurched people who are yearning for the preaching of the Word of God. They want to know Jesus.

Here is what I mean by the American church taking out the trash. You have been sidetracked into taking out the garbage if you are attacking prophets who predicted a Trump victory, and cannot let it go to win souls. You are taking out the garbage if you are attacking those who attack the prophets, if it has caused you to have stopped winning souls. You are taking out the trash if you attack Trump supporters continually, so that you cannot win souls. You are taking out the trash if you are speculating about conspiracy theories, and have nothing left over for lost souls. You are taking out the garbage if you are a prophet and are over-apologizing, instead of winning the lost.

God wants the American church to rebuild our message to America about Christ. What is slowing us down is all of the trash we keep carrying out.

Let me make some things very clear. I believe that the Democrat Party agenda is anti-Christian and destructive to America. I will keep writing and exposing that. I believe that the election was stolen and I am prepared to fight, in blogs and in pulpits, for that to be exposed. I believe in, and stand with Donald Trump’s destiny in our nation. I still expect a Trump miracle.

But I believe God is calling for us to counterbalance the fixation to use social media to analyze, divide, constantly speculate, debate, and attack, by being the miracles we are, in God’s hand. And yes, we should speak loudly against political evil, when God orders it, but not at the expense of winning the lost.

Anything that would keep us from seizing the greatest harvest in our lifetime is of Satan, no matter how compelling it seems.

To the everyday believer I say, relive and rewrite your testimony, because friends, family, neighbors and acquaintances are open to your witness. Believe me, the misery Democrats have created transcends politics. Even those who may disagree with you about Trump will be open to prayer and to your witness.

To pastors I say, reopen your church now!  Prepare Gospel sermons. Give altar calls. You will find that outsiders are returning to church. A vast blanket of conviction has settled on our weary nation.

To all I say this: Mario Murillo Ministries is about to launch the largest and deepest soul winning campaigns we have ever done—and I believe they will also be the greatest California has seen in decades.

Yes, there will always be trash that should be taken out. I will blog against false doctrine. I will blog against the lie that the church should stay out of politics. I will continue to tell the truth as God gives me strength. But something has come that I cannot neglect . Millions are ready to surrender to Jesus.

Matthew 9:36-38, “But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.””

    Hi Mario,
    It’s the pesky Australian again. I didn’t receive a reply from my last email to you, so I am a little concerned that it didn’t reach you.
    Don’t get tired, don’t get frustrated, mate. That’s easy to say and sometimes difficult to put into practice. I was up till 4 am this morning, watching videos, making sure I know everything to engage in and win the fight. Therefore, I was so tired late this afternoon that I thought I needed to nap. I went and washed my face and examined my attitude. I was thinking negatively. I then thought, “If God is with us, who can be against us!” I feel refreshed and ready to write this to you, having just finished the lovely dinner my wife served up to me.
    I’m 73, mate, and on my last life, as a Lionheart and king of the jungle. It is a jungle out there, but we are the kings, with Jesus Christ, King of Kings, on our side. The biggest problem we face in winning the battle, mate, is abortion. I believe that I have the solution to the mass betrayal of the church here. We have become a very secular country where many are outright atheists. However, we would still win the fight easily if we had every Christian on our side. And that would be the situation in America also!
    We have preferential voting here, which should be in place in America. Anyone who votes for the third party has, in effect, wasted his or her vote. They should be marking on their ballot who their second preference is. Furthermore, anyone who doesn’t vote should be fined, as we do here. That is how it should be done, and one thing that we still get right in Australia. We know late on election night who is the winner, and we trust that he or she is the correct winner.
    My plan to beat the hypocrites is this: I am putting together a new party called the Pro-Life Party. I need at least five hundred signed-up members to be accepted as a new party. That’s when the fun begins. I have many in the Pro-Life organizations who will sign up immediately such that getting five hundred members is a piece of cake. But how do I get five hundred thousand members? Again, it should be a piece of cake. I ask all of my first five hundred to get me another thousand each by merely asking their pastors or priests, monsignors, bishops, archbishops, cardinals to get involved. If any seem reluctant, we say, “Are you telling me that you don’t believe, as a Christian, that every conceived infant is made in the image of God? We must look upon every pregnant woman or girl as though she is carrying the infant Jesus. To not do so is to surely state that you don’t believe what God says and you don’t want eternal life for yourself or that child. So why are you bothering to come to church? You can’t have a dollar each way. You are either for God or against Him.”
    May God keep you and watch over you and yours, Mario. You are a mighty warrior of God. Please let me know that you received this email. “Got it, Len.” That’s all it takes.
    Leonard (Len) Carroll

      May we all be aware that Mario is a very busy man and doesn’t have the time (nor maybe the inclination) to read or respond to every email. I’m sure he appreciates everyone’s comments, but no offense should be taken if he doesn’t respond. He has yet to respond to any of my comments and I really don’t expect him too. Let’s cut him some slack…

      • Janelle Dalstra

        Amen!
        Anyone who demands a response appears to think he deserves it. My question is if your so busy doing the Lords work, being humble and thinking of others first before yourself, is the fruit of the Spirit. Mario answers to God no man and that’s the way it should be.

    God Bless you Mario. There are many believers who stand with God and with your ministry. God is leading us into victory breathing fresh life into us once again.

    Mario I want you to know I have been praying for you for weeks before I even signed up for your news letter. I see God using you mightily and he has asked me to cover you and so many others in prayer. A friend and I have been meeting for prayer for a few weeks now and now another has joined us. The last few mornings the old hymn “Bring Them In” has been in my spirit. I sing and prophecy for the lost to run to the tents where the men of God are preaching. My husband and I are raising our two year old great niece bc her mommy is messed up. Because of my obligation to taking care of her and helping our daughter with her three and schooling I’m a bit tied at home. However, I want you to know that I and my friends are praying for you as you go forth in the greatest harvest of all time. You’re a blessing. God gave me this word on 1-28-21 and just told me to send to you. Child, your job is to seek me with your whole heart, mind and strength. I have many children. Each have to do the same. Why? Because in seeking me you find strength to do what I ask you to do. In seeking me you learn to know my voice. Just as any family each has a job. In my big family I have given each a job. It’s imperative that each one focus not on their brother’s job but on the job I’ve given them. Stay focused! My sheep hear my voice and they know me. Trust that your brothers and sisters are doing what I am telling them to do. It may seem odd to you, but you do not see the full picture…I Do!!! Don’t try to figure out the full picture. Just focus on me and do what I ask of you. If you do this, you will not be overwhelmed! Their job is not your concern. Just watch-pray intensely for each other. Knowing that I am the director. They are taking their orders from me. Stand strong in your faith Stand on the truth of God’s word Stand ready and add attention The battle is not yours it’s mine. It’s a battle between me your God and Satan Lucifer the one who tried to rise above me and is still trying to do so using the very ones I created to worship me. To love me. To Adore me. The very ones I sent my son to die for, to restore them to myself. I gave each a free will to choose and that is what you are seeing in your world today. So look up Psalm 121 Where does your help come from? From me your Father! The maker of heaven and Earth! Rest in knowing I am in control you cannot change a thing by worrying, but you can change much by praying! AGAIN Stay Focused On Me REST IN MY LOVE
    I hope this note blesses you and encourages you. This word blessed me and is keeping me focused on what I can do. I can pray for God to draw the lost to the men of God he has placed around America. Be blessed, your sister in Christ

    Thank you Mario for providing direction to all Christians who are wanting guidance on how to proceed in these troubled times we are living in. Praise God for your willingness to lead God’s children in this test of our faithfulness. We must complete this task and soon.

    Voice of Reason
    The evil that motivates leaders who declare wars, is what sends opposing forces that stand on the perimeter, while killing and maiming innocent children that are trapped in the midst where bombs of lies fall. If all could take a moment and look at the carnage war brings, perhaps, in an instant of clarity, the multitudes would ask, is a spark of hatred worth the price of a dying babe? Yet this is the price of war, body bags, cities destroyed, homes in rubble, the elderly weeping for what is lost! Confusion and disease run rampart when the order of civility is lost. Who is to blame that stirs hatred and confusion? Is it the leaders that are motivated by greed and power? Or the people who are afraid to voice their reluctance, as they fear retribution by bullies in elected office.

    • Janelle Dalstra

      I agree!

    A Mournful Prayer
    In the calm of the night, and terror of the morn, I am upset. I pray to the Almighty and pour the torment of my soul. My vision is blinded with tears of anguish. My tongue is troubled, as the waters rushing over the intrepid falls. My ears are shrouded with the roar of confusion. I lament at the weakness of my soul. I cannot sever the hardship borne from parasitic communion. I am lost in the decaying fibers of vigilance, as I am purged by the flame of temperance, when understanding is lost between parent and child.

  16. Don

    I am a lapsed Jew who loves and supports your ministry. Though skeptical of the faith, I trust you completely to help save our nation from utter colamity.
    God Bless All of You

  17. mark James

    You are taking out the garbage if you are attacking those enemies Paul wrote to the Roman Christians saying: Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Jesus said this regarding evil and Overcoming evil You, however, are to be perfect, as · your heavenly Father · is perfect. Amen

  18. Ora

    Mario- thank you for your “Marching forth Orders” on March 4. Pastors and leaders in California received a fresh touch from the Holy Spirit. Many received fresh fire. Anointing and focus. The vision for our work has been clarified and even laser-targeted!
    Thank you for doing this for us. God is going to take back California. And as the saying goes “ As California goes – so goes the Nation”.
    Let’s take back our nation!

    The keys 1. Pray 2. Pray for the sending forth of harvesters 3. Whatever He asks of us, He is already doing ! 4. Whatever we are praying for, we must be ready be a part of it. 5. Prepare 5-minute fresh witness items focussing on God being not a killjoy but a God of provision. 6. Ask people what they believe. Listen uncritically but with genuine interest. 7. Have any minibooklet ready to let them take away and read in less than 5 minutes called ” What I believe and why. Most important key: expect to hear from the Lord clearly what action you are to take anf follow it obediently. It will fire you up in this great awakening and cause you to set others on fire too but more importantly you will be wise and win souls.

    Excellent! Revival, won souls for Jesus! That was Jesus’ battle plan all along.

    Brother Mario; Your posts everyday are so encouraging, faith building and also compassionate.
    I am not an American, however as a Canadian I believe I can testify to the demonic activities of the left. As a senior citizen, in my 77th year, unfortunately I am unable to ‘go forth’ as they say, but my prayers for all that you espouse are ongoing. The evil of what my brothers and sisters, and indeed the whole population, are experiencing in the USA are of primary concern to all most all Canadians.
    All this to say, keep up the good fight!!!! There are thousands praying along your side.
    May the God of heaven and earth richly bless you, SPIRIT, SOUL, & BODY.
    (my most sincere condolences on the loss of you Mom)

    Sometimes I wonder if the media makes it seem like the church is attacking prophets more than are. I know it appears that way in the public arena, but many of us at the grassroots level are totally standing with the prophets and are fervently praying for souls to be saved. I am reading Mario’s book “Critical Mass” and it has motivated me, along with my church, to pray for repentance and revival on a local and national level. I think we must keep our eyes on II Chronicles 7:14 and believe that God will honor our fervent prayers. I believe that Mario’s words will fall on just the right ears to make an astonishing difference!

    I recently come upon this blog and am delighted to read these Mario Murillo Ministry blogs. I am wondering if this is the same Mario Murillo that I met some 30 years ago while attending Mesa First Assembly of God, Mesa, AZ, under Pastor Ben Leonard (circa late 1980’s and into 1990’s). Our church had an occasional visit by an evangelist, Mario Murillo (not sure of spelling) who was very impressive. Indeed, that is probably why my wife and I still remember him so vividly after all these past 30 years or so.
    Recently, I came upon this internet blog: “Mario Murillo Ministries” which provides outstanding discussions with Biblical references/explanations regarding present day events including politics, presidents, and principles affected – both good and bad – by our government leaders.
    My question is: Is this the same Mario Murillo that frequented the Mesa First Assembly of God back in the late 1980’s and 1990’s?

    Hi Mario, I think you left out one thing – if we concentrate on winning the lost instead of taking out the trash, there will be so many of us that the who election thing will overturn on its own – no one will tolerate evil when they know the Lord! So, God will certainly get the glory for the election fraud turnaround! Sure is exciting – this huge revival coming. just can’t wait! We’re all commanded to work for the Lord and to win souls so everyone, let’s go!

  28. Sheila Price

    I know you have way too many messages to respond, but two things I have wondered about, for all the souls saved, do you also pray for Holy Spirit to rest upon each and every one as well as being invited in alongside Jesus and teach them to rely on Holy Spirit for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding? And is there a follow up on those who have been homeless and/or druggies, alcoholics etc., to see to it they are connected with groups that will not only help meet their physical needs but will also help them in their spiritual journey, providing Bibles and help with reading if needed?

      Sheila,
      Try listening to Mario on YouTub he will answer every question you asked in his videos he shares with the world. Mentoring people is one of his greatest concerns.

  29. Mark Stripling

    Mario, we will fight for the sake of the Gospel as long as we have breath. We are taking every opportunity to preach and minister any time and any place. As a pastor, some experiences this week broke my heart! God allowed me to see the lack of knowledge that causes people to be blind, deceived, powerless, and lost. One person asked me if I REALLY believed all that Revelation stuff, and in the second coming of Jesus, because God told Noah he would never destroy the earth again after the flood. Because of that, there can be no 7 year tribulation period. Right? (I did explain that he said never again “by flood,” and yes, God say there will be a 7 year tribulation!) Later on a “pastor” said he believed Adam was created 13,000 years ago, and the earth was already populated at that time. He talked about Neanderthals and Folsom Man. That Satan was man at one time and had sex with Eve in the garden. That led to the eating of the forbidden fruit. (I said show me the verses to back that up, which he could not! He was mixing evolutionary teaching with his own opinions about the history of God and man!!) A church goer said that he fully believed God was about to deliver a fresh “gospel” book for our day, that one is due anytime. ( I said, read Galatians 1. Another gospel is strictly forbidden!) A church is teaching that, as part of the human deliverance process, we needed to include a session of forgiving God for the evil things He has done to us that had brought harm and pain into our lives!!! (To which I replied, God is not a sinner, if He was, then we are still in our sins. We are debtors to Him, not Him to us! Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy, not God!!) The Remnant had better get fired up and do it’s job! There is a lost, ignorant world out there, along with lost, ignorant pastors and “churches!” I saw evidence of the “seducing spirits,” and the “doctrines of devils” that cause people to believe in lies!! Demons in the church leadership! Paul warned Timothy to PREACH THE WORD! Our generation is falling away from the truth, and turning to fables! I pray for a Holy Spirit visitation to every pastor’s study in America and the world!!

  30. Pam Loomis

    AMEN!!!

    Mario Murillo Ministries, I truly appreciate the blogs and all that you are doing in California with your meetings. I pray that you have a huge success with your present meeting and that God richly blesses all that you set your hand to do according to His word.

  32. Maureen

    You are so right on. Thank You Mario.
    Praying for many to join forces with you and have altar calls. I am old and so disappointed going to A G. If they don’t have the fire of the Holy Spirit to see souls saved there is an inherent problem in their own hearts. Beating around the bush won’t cut with God.
