A new movie, Jesus Revolution, was released in February at theaters in America. After watching the movie, I began pondering the powerful message of the story that’s based on a real movement of the past. So many people in our world have misrepresented what Christianity is. But the Jesus Revolution movie portrays Christ’s message of love powerfully and beautifully.
If you haven’t watched the movie, I think you would be uplifted by its inspirational story. It is amazing. It has the potential to inspire millions of people to become powerful vessels that share the gospel of grace and spread the message of God’s love.
Christ commanded us to remain in His love. It’s by His love that we are able to live a joyful, fulfilling life. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is completed and perfected in us (1 John 4:12).
The following scriptures in the Bible (John 15:9-17) are words the Lord spoke about love. Jesus said: “I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you]. If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing. This is My commandment, that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another, just as I have loved you. No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father. You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you. This [is what] I command you: that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another.”
May God use the Jesus Revolution movie as a catalyst for transforming the CHURCH into a powerful vessel of Christ’s love and bring forth another JESUS REVOLUTION even greater than the one in the 70s.
Hallelujah.
The scriptures in this post were quoted from the AMPLIFIED BIBLE.
On this Pentecost Sunday, I am filled with awe of Christ and praying for a great move of the Holy Spirit that will bring permanent change for the youth of our world.
My heart has been hurting for the ones affected by the recent tragedies in America. I am filled with a deep compassion for the ones who lost their beloved children and family members in such a horrific way. While I had tears when I heard about the loss of innocent children, I felt tremendous hope in the Lord to bring beauty into the chaos.
Christ is truly the hope for our country and world. Evil can only be overcome with the truth and power of Christ’s love. With a heart filled with faith, I’m continuing to cry out to God for an unprecedented outpouring of His Spirit.
In the Bible verse, Acts 2:17, it says: “In the last days,God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
For many years, I’ve prayed passionately for the Lord to pour out His Spirit upon our cities. On this Pentecost Sunday and in the coming days, I believe the Spirit of God will be poured out in such a significant way that it will be like a blast of dynamite being ignited. The church will never be the same.
This outpouring will spark a Jesus movement like we’ve never seen before. Those ready to receive more of the Holy Spirit will be empowered to do great things for Christ. The ones who are too busy with earthly endeavors will possibly miss what’s coming. There will be naysayers who will say this is not from God, but in due time they will see that this is genuinely the outpouring that the prophet of the Bible, Joel, prophesied (Joel 2:28-32).
We are a very blessed generation to be alive when God is rocking the world with the greatest revival in the history of mankind.
Let’s pray more fervently than ever before and trust Christ to bring forth a JESUS REVOLUTION that will begin changing our broken world.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I am in absolute awe of You. Thank You for hearing our prayers and pouring out Your Spirit upon the earth. I trust You to ignite a JESUS REVOLUTION this Pentecost Sunday that will begin to break the chains of hatred and evil off of our cities.
I am asking You to wrap Your loving arms around the ones who lost their beloved children and family members in recent tragedies. Comfort their hurting hearts and carry them through the painful moments of grief. Bring healing to their souls in the days ahead.
Awaken the CHURCH fully and help us pray more fervently than ever before. Bring forth the most powerful prayer movement among mothers to pray for the youth of the world to be saved.
Help believers in Christ to be unified and have strong voices against the wicked injustices in our communities. Bring peace to the areas in our world that are experiencing civil unrest. Stop the violence that’s happening in America currently. Bring unity among the people in our communities and let us love one another with Your perfect love.
Empower us with a greater measure of Your Spirit and help us do great things on the earth all the days of our lives. Baptize us in the Holy Spirit and let each one of us be used mightily to share the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Let us be peacemakers and help us bring change to the world until the day of Christ’s return. I pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
May you have a blessed Pentecost season and may your heart be open to receive all that Christ has for you. I pray that you will be filled with Holy Ghost fire and be a world-changer in the coming days.
Pray boldly!

This post is a revised piece that I wrote and posted previously.
“We need a JESUS REVOLUTION!” I sank into my chair with a timid feeling after I shouted those words while hundreds of young people were singing a worship song at Passion City Church (Atlanta, Georgia). I will never forget that night in the summer of 2011. Up until that point, I had not ever shouted as passionately during church, so I was embarrassed, until Pastor Louie Giglio began preaching a sermon about the necessity for believers in Christ to be filled with zeal and passion. My embarrassment lifted immediately as I listened to the sermon about zealously living for Christ, and I knew that my urge to shout had been prompted by the Holy Spirit.
Two years before that night, I attended a worship service at Passion City Church for the first time. In 2009, as a middle-age woman, I sat in a sea of college students, and I was fixated on one word: “REVIVAL.” With my spiritual eyes, I could see the beginning of a true spiritual awakening. In the following years, I had a dream in my sleep about a great revival, and it confirmed to me that what I had been sensing was truly from God.
Around the same time period, I was reading about Pentecost in the Bible. I began to envision a true movement of God similar to the stories in the book of Acts. I envisioned people getting healed of diseases, the blind getting their vision back, and chains of addiction being broken. Most importantly, I envisioned people weeping in repentance.
As the years passed by, the seeds of revival increased as the PASSION CONFERENCES took place each year with thousands of young people meeting together. Multitudes of these youthful ones were touched by Jesus, and I believe these gatherings helped ignite a movement that has led to the beginning of a great spiritual awakening.
With more than a decade of watching God move, I’ve prayed passionately for an unprecedented great awakening to be ignited—a Jesus movement that will impact the world by bringing forth a harvest of saved souls. For years, I’ve prayed that the greatest movement of the Holy Spirit we’ve ever seen would begin and spread like wildfire throughout the U.S. and spread to all the nations of the world.
This week, as I’ve been pondering the significance of Pentecost, I suddenly remembered a vision I had in 2010. A decade ago, I had envisioned our HEAVENLY FATHER in His glorious splendor with white hair, standing above a beautiful river with a dam above it. In my spirit, I heard these words: “The dam is about to break.” At the time, I wrote the words in my journal and I shared about my vision with my husband. I sensed that what I had envisioned was a symbol of the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit that would be taking place in the future.
Year after year, I have longed to see an unmatched outpouring of the Holy Spirit. For many years, I have thought it would happen on Pentecost Sunday.
Here’s a prayer I wrote on May 24, 2018.
Jesus,
Thank You for pouring out Your Holy Spirit upon our nation. I ask You to release a move of Your Spirit across this nation like we have never seen before. Remove all the hindrances and open up the floodgates of heaven. Let every false prophet repent or let them be taken out of leadership. Bring forth countless new leaders to lead the body of Christ. Let Your Spirit rule and reign in the churches of America. Let stadiums be filled up with Your glory and let millions of souls be saved. Let Pentecost season of 2018 and 2019 far exceed what we read about in the book of Acts. Thank You, Jesus. I pray in Your name, Christ. Amen.
A few days after I remembered the vision, I heard the Lord clearly say: “The dam will break on Pentecost Sunday.” When a dam breaks, it floods everywhere in the vicinity and the water rushes all throughout the land powerfully. The dam breaking means that God’s Spirit will be poured out like it never has been poured out any time before.
I believe that’s what will begin happening on Pentecost Sunday and it will continue to intensify throughout the Pentecost season and keep intensifying until Christ returns to the earth. The Spirit of God will be poured out in such a significant way that it will be like a blast of dynamite being ignited. The church will never be the same.
This outpouring will spark a Jesus movement like we’ve never seen before. Those ready to receive more of the Holy Spirit will be empowered to do great things for Christ. The ones who are too busy with earthly endeavors will possibly miss what’s coming. Those who are trapped in sin need to repent to be able to experience this glorious outpouring.
There will be naysayers who will say this is not from God, but in due time they will see that this is genuinely the outpouring that the prophet of the Bible, Joel, prophesied (Joel 2:28-32).
We are a truly blessed generation.
Let’s pray more passionately than ever before and trust Christ to bring forth a JESUS REVOLUTION that will begin changing our broken world.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I am in absolute awe of You. Thank You for hearing our prayers and pouring out Your Spirit upon the earth. I ask You to ignite a Jesus revolution this Pentecost Sunday that will begin to break the chains of racism off of our cities and nations.
I ask You to wrap Your loving arms around the family of George Floyd and comfort all of the ones who are mourning his needless death. I ask You to awaken us fully with Your love and let us have strong voices against the wicked injustices in our communities. I ask You to bring peace to the areas in our world that are experiencing civil unrest. I ask You to stop the violence that’s happening in America currently. Bring peace among the races and let us love one another with Your perfect love.
Empower us to do great things on the earth. Let each one of us be used mightily to bring forth the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Let us be peacemakers and help us to bring change to the world until the day of Christ’s return. I pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
May you have a blessed Pentecost Sunday and may you open your heart to receive all that Christ has for you.
