It Is Our Turn Now

by | Oct 31, 2024 | Living Proof Tent Crusades | 60 comments

Last night was the final night in Tulare, California, but it was no less powerful than the previous three nights. The people were there, engaged, hungry, and ready for what God would do.

Catherine Mullins and her incredible band once again led us into the presence of God. Leading the way, praising God in song and dance. The people filled the front altar area, joining in praising their God.

They finished the time of praise with our favorite anthem, “I Speak Jesus.” Catherine had not sung this during any of the other nights, and it made it all the more powerful. We could feel the presence of God in a powerful way.

As I’ve been saying all week, this crusade has not been like any other. Everything about it has been different, not only in comparison with other crusades and this one, but also from night to night. And tonight was no exception as Mario took the stage and within minutes gave an altar call.

He began by saying, “Tonight under this Tent, Jesus will have the final word. They told you, you weren’t going to get well, but Jesus is going to have the final word. They told you that it would be a long time before the pain would leave, but Jesus is going to have the final word.”

He didn’t even have the people sit down, but immediately began to explain they were not in this Tent on this night by accident, that it was precisely when and where they were supposed to be.

He spoke about how we’ve created a way of life in America that hurts real bad, that uses you and discards you. And that it is no wonder that there is a national return to Jesus Christ.

Then he called for those looking for a new life, for peace of mind, for God to forgive their sins and wash away their sins and mistakes, to raise their hand and then to move to the front of the Tent.

And once again they moved immediately, no hesitation, no delay. And it was a powerful response as people came forward down the aisles and filled the front of the Tent to seek a new life in Christ.

Mario prayed over them and then led them out to be ministered to by our amazing volunteer army.

Catherine and her team once again led us in the old camp meeting song, “Look What the Lord has Done.” The people were on their feet and it was a wonderful time of celebration of the miracle of salvation we had just witnessed.

Mario began his message and said it was titled, “It’s Our Turn Now.” He began by telling the story of Kirk Gibson the Major League Baseball player, who, after bouncing around from team to team, ended up with the L.A. Dodgers. In the pennant race, they were facing the N.Y. Mets. The Dodgers had lost 10 out of the last 11 matches against them, but managed to win, and got into the World Series of 1988, facing the Oakland A’s.

In Game 5, Kirk tore a hamstring in his left leg, and in the next game, blew out his right knee. So he was on the injured list and out of Game 1 of the World Series. At the end of the game, in the bottom of the ninth inning, all hope was gone. The announcer, Vin Scully, said that the Dodgers had depended on Kirk all season, but that now when they need him, “he is nowhere to be found.”

When Kirk heard him say that, he immediately called Manager Tommy Lasorda and told him to put him in the game. And amazingly, Lasorda agreed. So, barely able to stand, not able to run, and unable to use anything but his upper body to swing the bat, Kirk stood at the plate facing down Dennis Eckersley, one of the greatest closers in baseball. He fouls the ball several times, and then suddenly a pitch came down, he swung and connected with the ball which flew out of the park for the winning home run – it became known as the shot heard round the world.

Several years later Mario was on a flight and was upgraded to First Class. He noticed that Tommy Lasorda was also there, so when they were given the all-clear and were able to leave their seats, Mario went up to speak to Lasorda and was surprised when Tommy said, “Hi, Mario.” He had seen him preaching on Trinity Broadcasting.

Mario sat down next to him and in their conversation, Mario asked Tommy what he had been thinking when he put Kirk Gibson in that fateful game. And Lasorda looked at Mario and said, “Mario, I knew it was his turn.” Then the Holy Spirit told Mario, “They’ve had America, but it’s our turn now!”.

Next, Mario said there is a story in the Bible that parallels everything in this story: the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel.

“And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, ‘As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word'” (1 Kings 17:1 NKJV).

Mario said, in many ways America is being punished. We are being punished in our international prestige, our economy, our quality of life, and the high crime rates in our cities. We are being punished because we have honored ideas that God hates.

He said there are a lot of prophets out there on social media. How do you know they are false prophets? Because they are doing everything except what a prophet is supposed to do. A true prophet speaks to the sin of a culture and commands them to repent.

The prophet Nathan went to King David and rebuked him. And you are not a true prophet if you are not willing to rebuke the king.

He said it is time for the body of Christ in America to rise up and say, “We have a role in the ministry of America. We have a right to be here and to speak up. We belong at the table of influence.” America is not our playground. It is a mission of the Body of Christ.

“Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, ‘Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you'” (1 Kings 17:8).

When Elijah went to the widow he did something amazing, he multiplied oil in the midst of a drought.

Mario then said to the people, can you imagine if up the road in Fresno there was a gas station selling gas for $0.25/gallon? And asked if they believed it would be national, and potentially international news? And the station owner says he can’t explain it, but the tanks never run out. And the question Mario asked is, would someone know about this?

Elijah was under siege. Ahab had sent assassins to take him out. And even though he had multiplied the oil and raised the dead, they couldn’t find him, because God hid him.

Mario then said to the preachers, that they are frustrated because they have had great breakthroughs, but the attendance didn’t grow. They had miracles happen but, it didn’t result in exponential growth.

He said they would learn the secret of the divine slingshot. When God makes a promise to a man or woman that He’s going to use them, He first begins by pulling them away from their goal not toward it.

Mario told the people they need to understand that those in power have had their turn at marriage, at education, and to control the media. And now Elon Musk comes on the scene, Joe Rogan starts a podcast, and Tucker Carleson leaves Fox. Then suddenly the entire media’s control on information in America has flipped.

But God did not do it for them. He is doing it for the church. And then he shouted, “Ladies and Gentlemen, it is our turn now!”

The divine frustration, the buildup, is something God does in His people. He did it in Hannah’s life where He closed her womb. God did not starve her of having children to deprive her of having children, but to deepen her passion to have a child.

Hannah was crying out, “I want a child.” And a Voice returned saying, “I need a prophet.” It’s one thing to have a child, but to be willing to give it up is another. God seemed to be pulling her away from her promise.

Her reward was not Samuel, that was her offering to God. She ended up later having five children.

Elijah needs to be understood. He loved Israel, he loved the word of God, he was a man of God and was a man of God with power because he paid the price for that power. And he hated what was going on in his country.

During WWII, General Patton was sitting in a hotel in London being used as a decoy. His frustration building and Eisenhower did not tell him why he was keeping him there. Likewise, God has not told you why He is keeping you where you are.

General Patton was so great a general, by being a decoy, Hitler believed the invasion would come through Normandy and he moved multiple divisions of Nazi troops there, splitting his army.

Patton was so frustrated by being held back from the invasion that when he was reactivated he liberated 26,000 hamlets, villages, and cities.

Mario asked the people, “How many have ever been there. Felt a divine frustration. Felt like the word of God was that something was supposed to happen through their life? The very thing you think is keeping you from your goal is building up the passion for it.”

When God released Elijah he went straight to Ahab.

“Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, ‘Is that you, O troubler of Israel?’ And he answered, ‘I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and have followed the Baals'” (1 Kings 18:17-18 NKJV).

Elijah looked at the king and told him he was the problem. There is nothing wrong with the pastors of America getting up in their pulpit and saying, “You are in sin, you are in rebellion against God, and we are not going to have your filth or your perversion anymore.”

Mario said, “Supernatural gifts are manifested for a purpose. They are never just for show. God empties a wheelchair or opens eyes with a lot more in mind than you or I have.”

Elijah told Ahab he was taking authority over him because what Ahab had done to culture had destroyed Israel. And Mario added that he was there as a man of God to tell them this nation is great because it was founded on God.”

Elijah accused Ahab of abandoning God and turning to Baal. When we look at what has happened to the Left and what they espouse in their view of the Christian faith, there is no room for neutrality. You either believe in Jesus or the Devil.

Mario said, “We are at that moment where God has said, “Church, get ready because I am about to do something through you. I am setting the stage, changing the media, slanting censorship away from you, opening the door to be in the schools, and to have a chance to do something for America.”

Elijah challenged Ahab on the mountain, at the two altars. And he let Ahab go first, and they took all day. Mario said, “We’ve had 16 years of misery, and of everything decent and good being torn down. This is the moment we have been waiting for all our lives. The threshold of a new anointing of God.”

He said America is on Mount Carmel, and we have had the cultural perversion and the domination. But it is our turn now!

Mario then had the people pray in the Holy Spirit. And the atmosphere in the room shifted as the Holy Spirit swept through the Tent.

Mario then shared that God had been very specific about how He was going to heal this night, and that he was going to follow the instructions explicitly.

He had those who needed to be healed to raise their hands. Then had those around them lay hands on and pray for them. You could feel the power of God flow through that Tent as God healed people all over that space.

It was a holy and powerful moment and lives were definitely touched and healed.

If you were in the tent you felt it, if you watched online you felt it. If you were not able to be there be sure to watch the website for news of future meetings and do everything to be there, and to bring your lost friends and relatives with you.

    Thank you Mario for your fifty years of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the Word of God and the only way to salvation—for Jesus is “ the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”
    As Paul, and so many who gave their lives to serve the Lord and to fulfill His divine commission, you are not ashamed or shy about contending for the faith, about preaching the gospel.

    You are needed in Billings, Mt. NOW NOW NOW

  46. Tim Hunt

    Your WWII Patton story is incorrect. Hitler/Rommel kept their elite forces north at Calais, opposite where Patton’s fake army was stationed. They were deceived completely (Patton is one of my all-time favorite movies and I’ve visit the British and French war museums). I love it when Bradley tells Patton that Ike had chosen him a year before to lead the breakout from Normandy with the 3rd Army.

  47. Thomas Holohan

    WHAT A WORD FROM GOD.

  48. Cheryl

    I watched it every night it was amazing to see how God moved through the Holy Spirit people saved , healed and delivered praise the lord🙏🙏

  49. Glenda S Daub

    Thank you for following Gods leading! Give ach the strength to do our part in your plan.

  50. Nanette Gemmer

    Powerful word.Thanks so much for the faithfulness of God and this ministry

  51. Jeff R

    Actually Hitler believed the invasion would come through Pas de Calais. He was so convinced of this that he withheld reinforcements from the invasion at Normandy because he thought it was a diversion. So Patton was winning battles before he ever set foot on the beach in France. He was the diversion that fixed Nazi reinforcements at Calais while the Allies established a beachhead at Normandy.
    Well preached, Mario. Any sermon worth its salt has a good history illustration in it.

    • Mario Murillo

      Thank you.

  52. Dixie Jo Maskell

    Praise His Holy Name! Thank you Mario for knowing just how God wants you to pursue your calling and fill the tents! I look for anything online you do as I feel the power come through your lips from Gods breath! Bless you and your team!

  53. Simon Copley

    Patton was used to decoy the Nazis to believe the invasion was coming in the Pas de Calais not Normandy. The invasion actually did go through Normandy.

    • Mario Murillo

      I am sorry I did not make that clear because that was the whole point of my message.

  54. phil beatty

    PRAISE GOD!!

  55. Gary Thornton
