Sometimes I wish I had the time to blog about every daily God encounter, the little and the big things that God does never cease to AMAZE me. The last few weeks have been intense, to say the least. For some reason at UCLA we have encountered multiple demonic encounters, just in the last two weeks I’ve had to pray for three Christian students who were suicidal, one demonic exorcism lasted from 12am-6pm in a dorm room, I don’t want to get into the details of what manifested but it was as serious and real as what Jesus encountered in the Gospels. The student was set free by God’s grace by the morning and it just made me realize more and more, how real this battle between good and evil is. Demons are real. God is real. Yet, many times we live through life as if the spiritual realm does not exist (Eph 6:10-18). I know these demonic occurrences are going to occur more and more as the days come, this is what the Holy Spirit forewarned in my heart the morning after the six hour demonic deliverance. At 9:30am, three hours after the deliverance, we had a team meeting and one of our leaders pulled out the LA times and on the front cover it read “UC Campuses do not know how to respond to the rising cases of student suicides and mental illness” It was a confirmation. That day, I received another call from another campus minister who had a student who was suicidal. My heart breaks just thinking about this. How we as disciples of Jesus have the power and authority to cast out every demon (Mark 16:18, Luke 10:19) yet many of us do not know the power we posses to set the captives free. There are so many in the church and outside of the church who are bound, broken and dying on the inside, literally “bound” by demonic influences. Yet, we just send them to counseling or give them pills. I don’t play down medication or counseling, but some of our most loved are literally in chains trying to kill themselves, and I’m asking God that He equip and raise up believers who will deliver the oppressed in the power of the Spirit. Christ has given us power to proclaim Good News and set the imprisoned free from the stronghold of the enemy, we must pray…

Calling America to 40 Days of Fasting and Prayer
May 28-July 7, 2007
There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens, and great revolutions for good or evil spring up in the vacuum created by these openings. In these divine moments, key men, women and even entire generations risk everything to become the hinge of history, the pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.
The rebellious generation of the ’60s seized its moment, and history crashed into the deep abyss of drug addiction, sexual immorality, hatred for authority and a rejection of the law of God. In 1967, there was a culminating and defining moment in that rebellion, when 100,000 young people, ages 15–25 flocked to San Francisco to experience the hippie movement. This mass convergence was sparked by the hit song, “San Francisco” (Wear a Flower in your Hair). Once there, these young adults experimented with LSD, pot, casual sex and Eastern mysticism in what became known as the “Summer of Love.”
When these newly recruited ‘Flower Children’ returned home at the end of the summer, they brought with them new styles and ideas, flooding the cities of the US and Europe with a message that opposed authority and scorned conservative morals. This counterculture rebellion was fueled by music and art, which rapidly shifted global culture.
I have nothing more to say, but be in Nashville on 7-7-07. We are seeking to gather 100,000 youth and young adults in Titan Stadium to cry out for revival in this land, praying for America to turn back to God.
You must listen to this mp3 message by prophet Dutch Sheets on why this massive solemn assembly is significant in God’s timetable, in all humility, we are asking God to shake the heavens and the earth over this nation, let another Jesus revolution awaken in North America! Prepare, pray, fast and be at The Call Nashville!

I will be speaking this Friday night for our Southern California “Pre-Call Rally” information below, mobilize all if you are in Socal to rumble in prayer for revival to break forth like the dawn in California once again.
Recently, the Holy Spirit has been speaking to us corporately at Passion Church UCLA about pursuing God and not revival.
No doubt, the Spirit of God has been moving these past two years on campus in extraordinary ways. At the same time, I’ve realized that as exciting as revival can be, it is not the end goal.
Many have joined the movement because of a vision for revival, but this motivation can be very dangerous if Christ is not at the center of all that we seek and do.
It is easy to want to give up on pursuing revival, because if it doesn’t happen, we become disillusioned and discouraged. We feel like failures because we have not produced something for God. The enemy would want to deceive us by having us become distracted in pursuing some kind of end destination called revival, or a prophetic word/vision, a expected outcome, when in reality, revival is simply knowing God. Revival is when a single heart is turned back completely to God. When this happens, the abundance of God’s love flows from Him, to us, and from us to one another. Ultimately, our reward is not revival, our reward and end goal is God’s presence. The chief end of man is to glorify God by “enjoying” His presence forever! (Ps. 16:11) It is out of intimate relationship with Jesus and one another that revival is birthed and flows.
