COMING SOON: A NEW KIND OF CHRISTIAN LEADER

by | May 6, 2021 | Christianity Today | 40 comments

Remember when I told you this…a new kind of Christian leader will soon appear on the American stage. They will not fit any present mold. They will be the catalysts. They will usher in the next great awakening. They will appear because conditions will demand their appearance. Consider how the coronavirus can be the pretext to change the very way churches and ministries operate. Even to the point of banning public gatherings. In the next few years, you will likely see social media virtually remove all preaching. Not only that, but there will be a concerted effort to marginalize the church in ways you never imagined. Does that mean that Bible-based Christianity is over in America? Absolutely not!

You watch: God will come out of nowhere to meet this threat. A big difference you will see in the coming leaders is where they serve. A few of them will be in pulpits. More of them will be in politics, business, science, law, entertainment, music, or a thousand other fields of endeavor.  They will not introduce subjects—they will introduce eras.    No one will be able to buy them off or get them to change the subject. They will operate on a disquieting plane of holiness and consecration. I believe A. W. Tozer was describing them when he said, “They serve God and mankind from motives too high to be understood by the rank and file of religious retainers who today shuttle in and out of the sanctuary.”

Today they suffer. Their agony is what happens when worlds collide. They see their destiny. It’s big and dangerous. A part of them glories in the potential to know God intimately and represent Him bravely. They see themselves rebuking kings, tyrants, and warmongers. They see themselves commanding the transfer of the wealth of the wicked into the control of the righteous. (Is. 60:5)  

God is warring to save America. You must find your assignment in that war. But how can we know our assignment? The secret to finding your assignment is your heart. God speaks to the heart and then the heart must control the mind. Today, many spirit-filled believers are unwittingly involved in New Age practices. They relate to God as if He were some kind of ‘force’ rather than a Person. They think that audacity and confidence will unlock gifts, authority, and direction. They speak of “activating gifts” as if there was a formula to supernatural manifestations. My friend, it comes through brokenness, not arrogance. The ‘force’ is a farce. The gifts and anointing of the Holy Spirit always come through relationship. Sorry, but Christianity has always been, and always will be, family owned and operated. So then how can we know our assignment?

Your assignment in the Army of God is your individual expression and extension of Christ’s destruction of the works of the devil. You are a destroyer of the works of the devil. God will give you a way to do it that is unique to you. Until that gets through to you—until you admit and agree to those terms—God will remain silent about your assignment. Because the situation today in America is an impossible one, only one kind of person will make a difference now. They must be armed with divine certainty. They must own an unshakable, bone-deep conviction that they have been chosen for this task. Without this, we have zero hope of removing the bloody talons of Satan from the throat of our nation. Without it, we are doomed to another embarrassing misfire, pawned off as revival.

Next, you must face the fact that very few believers are supposed to be teachers, preachers, or pastors (see James 3:1). For too long, we have listened to the voice of God through a filter. In the past, whenever God has moved someone to serve Him, we have assumed it meant ‘ministry.’ This assumption of ministry has sent many Christians to Bible College who didn’t belong there. Worse yet, it has filled pulpits with people who should have never been ordained. This reminds me of why President Woodrow Wilson once said, “One of the proofs of the divinity of the Gospel is the preaching it has survived.”

This filtered view of service is one big reason the church lost influence in our nation. God tried to send people into education, law, medicine, business, art, media, and yes, even politics−but instead, we herded them into “Christian service.” You see it in the Bible. You see it in the stories of heroes of faith throughout history who altered the course of their generation. At the dawn of their mission, God infused them with incontestable certainty. This certainty plays a critical role in their survival.

Think of it like the escape velocity of a rocket. Escape velocity is one of the biggest challenges of space travel. In order for a rocket to break free of the Earth’s gravitational force it must reach a speed of seven miles per second. That’s 25,000 miles per hour! Evil convulses at the approach of a new vessel of God. Hell instantly puts chosen ones on a hit list. The child of God must be blasted by divine certainty into a trajectory that will escape the pull of devils, the seduction of fame, withering criticism, and the dark night of the soul that comes to all who are called of God. From his death bed, John Wesley wrote his last letter to William Wilberforce to encourage him as he fought in Parliament to abolish slavery in England. In this letter, Wesley confirms the urgency of divine certainty: “Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you?  Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!

Go on, in the name of God and in the power of his might…” Understand this child of God! The same Spirit that is awakening a passion and direction in you is doing the same thing to millions more. Soon an army will emerge that will invade every area of our culture. Today it is sporadic fire, here and there, but soon the prophetic core of God will obey and embrace their assignment. They will come together in a chorus of victory that will be unlike anything we have ever seen. Never forget, Christianity will survive without America−but America will not survive without Christianity.

    With the current load of “preachers” all the fakes , Kenneth Copeland , joel osteen, creflo dollar, td jakes ( who pushes the vaccine) john haggee as well as the FAKE PROPHETS – ALL OF THEM

    IT WOULD BE GREAT TO BAN THEM FROM ALL PLATFORMS SOCIAL MEDIA INCLUDED.

    FRANKLIN GRAEME SHOULD BE EXPELLED FROM CHRISTIANITY ALLTOGETHER !

    WE AWAIT THE NEW BREED OF PREACHER….. lets see Mario !!

        Jesus said,”Stand up for me against world opinion and I’ll stand up for you before my Father in heaven. If you turn tail and run, do you think I’ll cover for you?” Biden is owned by the Democrat Plantation. He merely says and does what he is told to say and do! He embodies the ideologies of a cursed system in a sewer, where the biggest chunks come to the top first! That’s precisely why he wears a mask, because he can smell himself in his compromise, going along with the herd to get along! See Matthew 10:32-33

    A good encouraging word of exhortation, Mario! Thank you!

    Prophetic Letter received by me:

    12 SEPTEMBER 2017

    United States of America

    If you want to stay united then you need to ROAR you defiance at the forces that are trying to pull you apart.

    On November 8, 2016 you roared your approval of a man who stood outside the confines of the political structure of your nation. He was an Outsider – not a part of the political system. And you roared your acceptance of that choice. Only the Lord God of Truth and Righteousness could have done this for you. And He Did
    In the year gone by the old decedent, sly and corrupt system has tried to pull and tear down the standard that your choice has put on high.
    Now you need to reaffirm in your and God’s choice because if you don’t the enemy will through sly and deceitful and underhand ways, destroy your choice.

    So ROAR back at him – he can not stand up against that Roar. Do not allow the old system to kill and destroy the new way. Be Wise, Be Strong, Be Vigilant. Roar at the old tired deceitful and decadent political system.

    Remember the Lion King. The uncle killed the strong true king by betraying him and then blaming the rightful heir for the death of his father – which was a lie. The old deceitful lion then ruled and the pride was ground into submission and poverty. He used hyenas to reinforce his rule – not even of the same species. Beware the lies and deceits of the old system – do not believe or rely on their words. They/It is for itself only.

    Roar your defiance of the old and Roar your approval of the new. If you do this you will have years of plenty – time to accumulate for the destruction to come. It will be difficult enough but much worse if you allow the new order to fall.

    Blessed be the Lord God Almighty who is able to overcome all who stand against Him. But You must stand with Him and for Him.

    United you will stand: Divided you will fall

    • C. Jones

      The limp wrist Democrats mostly play the Blame Game in order to cover up their lies! They look for scapegoats to ease the burden of their guilty conscience.

    AMEN Mario

  7. susanfowler2011

    This is so true. I see that in my husband’s business. He’s a stock broker and uses this as a platform for ministry. It’s so fruitful.

  8. NickT

    Amen,

    Let us raise our voices against the Evil in our country as God wants us to do.
    Mario is doing a great job of waking the Conservative Christians & patriots up!
    Also if you haven’t seen it Watch Victory -Flashpoint on the Victory channel Tuesday’s & Thursdays @ 7pm
    if you have direct tv. It was on youtube but they removed it of course. You will find it on Facebook.
    but I quit that over a year ago. Maybe Rumble or Mewe has it too? Right now, that is mine and my wife’s favorite show to watch… it’s so good and positive for “we the people”
    I also like LT show (and we know) search on Mewe. God Bless.

  9. Joyce Bidwell

    Mario never ceases to amaze me. When he speaks, I listen to every word. That’s because he speaks TO us, not AT us. That’s what makes him a great preacher and separates him from others.

    During these dark times, Mario has become a lighthouse in my life.
    May God bless him in his efforts to save souls and to help revive Christianity and save America.

    Big amen sir, Just like Jesus called the disciples from all walks of life, Fisherman, Tax Collectors, Physicians, Politicians, showing us how to set the stage to defeat evil, to put good in high places, and all places, to overcome the evil that wants to take over, I fear and dread its more about us now than him, for he laid down his life for us, but to few are willing to lay down there life for him, he gave his all, and we give some maybe, some give nothing, and the anointing and the power and presence will cost you, we have an evil like we have never come against, that has infiltrated the Church to a degree, that most can’t even imagine, they pray against the anointing and the Holy Spirit filled Evang. and preachers, trying to completely silence the Holy Spirit of God, and he has left many and they do not even know it, because the man made system has emerged, that wants power, and control, and says you be like me, and the word say’s be like Christ, and evil has arrisen that only the Holy Ghost filled fire anointed preachers can stop, when the witches have become more powerful in the Church, than the people of God we have a big problem, and sadly that is the case in a lot of places’s, they serve baal, the POB, and Goddesses, and idols, and most allow it and do not question, when you take the name of Jesus out of your songs, and out of the word in some bibles, who are you praise and worshipping, who ever that man or woman in the pulpit is, OUR GOD HAS A NAME YAHWEH AND HIS SON JESUS SUFFERED BLED AND DIED FOR US ALL, A HORRIBLE DEATH SO THAT WE COPULD BE SAVED, AND WE TAKE THAT TO LIGHTLY TODAY, HE GAVE HIS ALL, NOW ITS TIME WE DIE TO THE FLESH AND GIVE HIM OUR ALL, Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
    Mat 16:25

    For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.[ it time we totally give our lives to him and let the Holy Spirit have control, [BECAUSE ONLY THE ANOINTED MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD HAVE THE POWER TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY, HEAL THE SICK, CAST OUT DEVILS, AND SET THE CAPTIVE FREE, THIS SHOULD SHOW YOU MOST OF THE CHURCHES AND THE WORLDS PROBLEM TODAY, WHERE ARE THE ANOINTED MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD? BECAUSE THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST, A HOLY GHOST AND FIRE FILLED CHURCH, LORD SEND THE FIRE, AND LET RAIN, OPEN THE FLOOD GATES OF HEAVEN AND LET IT RAIN, LORD SEND DOWN THE FIRE TODAY AND ANOINT THE TRUE CHURCH AGAIN IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME. GOD BLESS YOU SIR

    What a good word for us this morning!! People, be ready if you ask God for your assignment! We have been asking and waiting for ours. This week our Gay Son challenged/threatened us to totally support his life choices. It has been a brutal few days but I believe God is testing and preparing us for what is to come. He has also healed me from the anxiety I experience every time something like this happens. PRAISE GOD!!! HE IS ABLE AND FAITHFUL!!!! Just this morning I asked Him what He is preparing me to do and then opened to this. Thank you, Mario, for your faithfulness to do what God is asking. It was for me today!

  12. Tanner from Louisiana

    ?Amen Brother Mario?

    Build the ? tents⛺️
    Come aboard the train ?

  13. Kate Bryan

    Many years ago, I saw revival coming to us in the form of sporadic campfires. Someone tried to buy me off so I would change my mind about a spiritual matter. My own relatives, sisters, brother and one son have abandoned and rejected me. I was rebuked and rejected at my Bible school for contending that I was a watchman. And the list goes on and on.
    I see the truth in people of all walks of life finding their spiritual place and taking up arms. This is the time for all people to raise up for God and His Kingdom. I am excited to find where my assignment might lead me as well as a little trepidatious.
    Onward and upward for the Kingdom of God!

    Mario, somewhere down the line the Church believed the lie that we were to stay out of politics. The Johnson amendment posed further threatening language against churches being “allowed” to retain certain tax exemptions. Those exemptions were granted initially BECAUSE THE CHURCHES WERE SO VITAL IN ALL COMMUNITIES! Welfare was not a lifestyle, churches came through and were huge assets! To the glory of God!

    However, those who preached abstinence from govt were grossly mistaken.
    How do we know?
    Who is the JUDGE of all the earth?
    Who is the GOVERNOR AMONG NATIONS?
    Who is the ADVOCATE?
    Who is the LAWGIVER?
    Who is the KING OF ALL kings?
    Who is the LORD OF ALL lords?
    Who’s called the GOD OF ALL THE EARTH?

    I AM

    Never forget, Christianity will survive without America−but America will not survive without Christianity.

    Yes, indeed! ? America is nothing without Christ.

    Next, you must face the fact that very few believers are supposed to be teachers, preachers, or pastors (see James 3:1).

    Right. But nowadays, so many Christians seem to think they can appoint themselves to these positions. 😛 Inevitably, these people name their ministries after themselves, and then launch social-media pages, a YouTube channel, etc., all designed for maximum self-promotion and revenue. ? And then as soon as any crazy thought pops into their head, they immediately proclaim to thousands of their followers on the Web: “Guess what the Lord just told me!!” ?

    God speaks to the heart and then the heart must control the mind.

    Actually, in ancient Hebrew, the heart encompasses the mind, thoughts, emotions, feelings, the will, etc. In modern language, we artificially try to distinguish the “head” from the “heart,” but the Bible knows nothing of this distinction. It seems that this split came around the time of the Enlightenment, with René Descartes mistakenly proclaiming, “I think, therefore I am.”

    This Web page explains a little more about the topic:

    https://www.pursuegod.org/hebrew-word-study-lev/

    In biblical Hebrew, the heart is where we feel feelings and think thoughts. In fact, ancient Israelites didn’t even have a word for “brain” that we know of. Jeremiah 15:16, Proverbs 14:33
     
    The heart is also where we make choices. So the concept of the “heart” is best understood as the “inner person” – the seat of our mind (thoughts), emotions (feelings), and will (intentions). Psalm 37:4, Proverbs 4:23, James 1:14-15

    • Sam

      Here’s a little more about how the Bible defines “heart”—from the book The Healing Presence by Leanne Payne. She basically devotes a whole chapter to the topic:

      The Bible knows nothing of the schism we have suffered, so it does not use the metaphor heart in this way. “In Biblical language,” the heart is “the center of the human spirit, from which spring emotions, thought motivations, courage and action—the ‘wellspring of life.’” In the Scriptures, therefore, the heart of man refers to both “minds”—or as we say today, to “head knowledge” as well as “heart knowledge.” It also refers to both the spirit and soul in man.

    • C. Jones

      Actually the tabernacle depicts the soul in the holy place, and the spirit in the holy of holies. The soul is a terrible master but a marvelous servant. The spirit (heart) is the master. Mario is correct. The spirit should rule over the soul.

  23. Esther Gibbs

    Amen to this powerful post, my brother! I and others are going thru His refining process and are hungering for the true church to come out of hiding and do all that our Father has called us to do. I’m consumed with my love for Him and this beautiful nation He and so many patriots suffered to leave to us. We MUST get over our complacency and get out where the lost hurting people are who need Who we have within ourselves. Stand up and fight!

  24. Linda C

    Amen!! This is so good, Mario. May God call, raise up, and equip an army that of His people who are committed to fighting the works of Satan in our land.
