2026 The Pieces Start to Come Together
For 20 years I've been wailing and groaning for the restoration of the Bride. (I know I'm not alone.) We are seeing real revival - but it's not what you think. When I was growing up in the Baptist church, a revival meant having new member recruitment meetings for a week where we got to listen to a speaker from out of town and a new quartet sing. In the Charismatic "revival" seems to mean an extraordinarily dramatic service where folks are laughing or jumping around way more then normal. But I think we have it all mixed up. A "revival" isn't about reaching the lost - it's about REviving the ones that used to be vived, but aren't anymore. Then you restore the Church. THEN you go reach the lost and have something amazing to show them! If we just recruit new people to sit next to the unvived that used to be vived and are resisting being revived, then what have we accomplished. We're just likely to end up with more unvived - or worse, a church full of nevervived. I think we have enough of those already!
I believe that God has poured out some revelation here that you might not find anywhere else - but that God has been whispering to your heart. There isn't some future "falling away" in the church. We're fully fallen. It's a nightmare wasteland. I don't understand why there are so few people screaming it at the top of their lungs!
We start a new denomination every 48 hours. There's over 50,000 now. We spent over 96% of all the money on ourselves. We lose 5.5% ($24,500,000,000 - that's Billion (2025 USD)) to fraud inside the organization - every year. Not lying to widows, not coercing tithes, not manipulating donations - just flat stealing out of the bank accounts by trusted leaders and staff. We spend less then 1% on the 1/3 of the world that is least likely to EVER hear the Name of Jesus. It's not just stupid - it's supernaturally stupid. All that's left is for us to REALIZE how far we're fallen and weep for mercy. (More here.) Musical Interlude - The Scream
Maybe you don't believe me. Maybe you're convinced things aren't so bad or Jesus isn't coming soon. Maybe you don't believe anything I'm saying about Kansas City. Fine. You do you. But WE are going to try to change EVERYTHING. And if anybody wants to help, I've had 20 years of listening to the Lord about HOW things need to change and what it's going to take and I promised Him that I would go it alone if I had to.
We've learned this:
1) The City Church is the only proper Biblical model for "church." One body per city under Christ with local elders. We don't have to start them. You're already ONE with everyone in your town because Christ let you through the Narrow Gate, not because you agree or voted on each other or are in the same building (or color or language or Bible translation). We better get REAL GOOD, REAL FAST at knowing what is a primary issue (Christ and Him crucified) and what is a secondary issue (rapture timing, Bible translation, tongues, etc.). And then STOP fighting about the secondary ones! (Free Book - Do It Yourself City Church Restoration.)
2) Tribulation is coming and it's necessary to refine the Bride. The spiritual Body of Christ (that's us) has to go through the same journey as the physical Body. That means whipped, ripped into pieces, bleeding down the Via Dolorosa, crucified, mocked and dead in a tomb. I believe that's where the Bride is right now. Laying there dead waiting for the bright light and the door to blow off. You don't get dressed in white without wrinkle or spot without having died first! (Free Book - The Red Dragon.)
3) Stop praying for Him to pour His Spirit out on all flesh and GO pour His Spirit out on all flesh!! He showed me my cup, what was in it and how to get it full. Then He showed me other people's cups and how to pour out on them. We know it works with tongues, but what about all the other stuff? I collected gifts like baseball cards because nobody told me not to! He put endless springs of living water into each of us and as soon as we get the CORK out and stop being lukewarm and stagnant and sitting on our lees, we'll get this show on the road! The faster you pour it out, the faster you get more! (Isaiah 58:10-11) So go pour it out on your family, your town, your state, your nation. And then grab the hem of His garment, hold His hand and DRINK it in until you're overlowing. It's really does work that way! We never needed stained glass and pipe organs, we just need to teach them to run to Him like a little child and stick their face in the River! (Free Book - Rain Right NOW, Lord!)
4) We're supposed to provide a mechanism for Christians in every city everywhere to connect, share, resource, learn. We can restore "daily and from house to house" digitally! We have the vision and the plan, but we need help! It would change everything! (Learn about CitySaver.)
5) People really can hear the voice of God and we HAVE to get them there! You're not going to survive what's coming without being led by the Spirit - and not any old spirit. I think the Pastor's job (or apostle/prophet/bishop whatever) is to talk to you about why you don't hear God until you DO hear God and then you don't need to listen that THAT GUY anymore. We should be an organization one layer deep with Christ at the head and everybody else shoulder to shoulder without jostling each other. (Free Book - Dialogues with God.)
6) One of the first things that happened in the Book of Acts after a fisherman stepped onto a balcony, gave an extemporaneous sermon and 3000 people got saved - was that they started looking around at "stuff" they didn't need anymore, liquidating it or laying it at the feet of those that could be trusted to get it to those in need. What we need desperately in this world are Heaven Brokers - people that can accurately tell you how much treasure you're getting per dollar you give to ministry - and can help you maximize your investment by getting it OUT of the stupid stocks you've been buying and get you REAL treasure in heaven! What if, in the back of the Wall Street Journal, there were stocks, mutual funds and ministries. What if you could see right there on the page how much treasure in heaven you're going to get for a pipe organ or new carpet in the sanctuary or a jet plane for the pastor - compared to a homeless shelter or drinkable water in a village or Bibles in a language that never had them or WHATEVER? If it were right in front of you, how many would BAIL OUT of where they have been spending it. Well, it is. It's not hard to know Jesus' heart. We've just chosen to ignore Him. (Watch - God's Economics.)
7) Me and others have seen visions of RV's parked nose to nose all over Liberty, Missouri with every city park full of people singing and worshiping, led by the Holy Spirit, with tables of clothes and food where people can just take whatever they need. I believe the revival that's been brewing and growing is going to burst forth in a big giant way. I believe the United States and Canada, the two nations founded under God with freedom of religion where the Promised Land for the true church. Of the two the Southern is Judah and I believe Kansas City is Jerusalem and Liberty is the Temple Mount. "Where the Spirit of God is, there is Liberty." (2 Corinthians 3:17) "For brethren, ye have been called unto Liberty; only use not Liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another." (Galatians 5:13)
8) God is going to strip down "Churchianity" until there isn't one stone on top of another. He did it to the House that Solomon built. He did it to the House that Ezra and Herod built. What makes you think He won't utterly destroy all the Houses that we built - when we're utterly going our own way? Are you ready? Want to help?
Please, PLEASE, take this seriously. Please pray about who I am and if I'm telling the truth and what connection we're to have. I'm not recruiting. I'm just asking you to listen to God. I'm telling you that God is doing an amazing, beautiful thing here and people are reviving and restoring the Bride. We can't get the Church on the right foundation until we "REvive" the Christians that used to be "vived," but aren't anymore. Then we can restore the Church and there will be somewhere to send the TRULY lost.
As with anybody that sets their hands and heart to be like Jesus, you're going to find all kinds of lies and nonsense and haters online using my name. Just ask God. If you listen to gossip you're no good for this anyway. The folks on the front lines need to know better and not be swayed by the noise.

May the Lord have mercy for this mess we've made and give us time to fix it before it's too late. In the Name of Jesus Christ.
