The Fire That Outlives the Tent

by | Sep 24, 2025 | Mario Murillo Ministries, Michigan | 40 comments

Tonight was the final night in Michigan, and it was as incredible as the previous two nights. God showed up in a powerful way yet again!

Catherine and her amazing team once again led us into the presence of God. There was a heavier anointing on them than I think I’ve ever seen.

I was so glad when they again ended the set with, “Is He Worthy?”. And the presence of God was so heavy that when they finished and Mario came up he just said for them to sing it again. And they did.

After Mario returned to the stage, he said how much he valued the worship team as an integral weapon in what he’s trying to do. He described it as in modern warfare when air superiority precedes a battle and we use aircraft to clear out a region, eliminating major targets and threats before sending the ground troops in. And in the same way, Catherine and the team prepare the way for the troops to move in and take a region.

Mario said demons in the Michigan region have been conquered in Jesus’ name, and strongholds torn down. And without first preaching his message, he went directly into the call for salvation. He said there was no sermon that could win a soul better than the singing that had already taken place, and said the people’s hearts were ready for God.

He referenced Luke 14 which talks about a man who gave a dinner and the people invited said no. The thing that shocked him is what the reasons they had that they thought were better. Mario then said what is baffling about modern life, is what people think is better than Jesus.

He said the world is filled with demons. And there is no power over the devil in Islam, or in Buddhism, or in the New Age Movement. But Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning.”

He then called for the people who want a new life, who want to start fresh knowing Jesus and walking with God, to raise their hands. Then to come forward. And we had another amazing response of souls coming home.

It was as big a response as any of the nights. It was a powerful moment and after Mario prayed over them he had them go out to be ministered over by our amazing volunteer team. And the worship band got the place hopping, singing, “Look What the Lord Has Done.” It was a wonderful time of celebration.

Then Mario began his message titled, “The Roar Must Not End In This Tent”. He asked, “What were these three nights about? Were they a good meeting, a healing service, a soul winning service? They were all of the above, but also infinitely more.”

“As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.’ Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” (Matthew 11:7-15 NKJV).

Mario told the people that Charlie Kirk was not killed for being a conservative. And just like he was more than a speaker, this audience is more than audience, and are now an army.

He said Charlie was killed not because he was a good speaker, or because of his positions and views. He was killed because he was a Christian. The anger is not about racism or sexual perversion, but because America is a Christian based nation.

It was his Christianity they hated and Jesus they despised, and yet everyone who spoke strayed into talking about the Cross and repentance.

Mario said it was to the shame of Woke pastors that there was more Gospel preached by politicians at Charlie’s memorial service than in the body of Christ in the churches.

He said there are two things we cannot let go of: Charlie did not die in vain, and this week has not just been a tent crusade. It is the beginning of a new permanent spiritual era in the state of Michigan.

Mario talked about growing up in the inner city and how a fight begins. It doesn’t begin when the other guy says “Yo Mama!”. It begins when the guy behind you goes “Oooooo!!”

He said the Devil has said the churches will go back to being dead and no one will remember the crusade. And the Holy Spirit is standing behind us saying, “Ooooo!” And it’s time to fight.

Mario said prior to this moment Christianity was sold as something to entertain you. But now after Charlie Kirk, it became something to die for. When offered the choice between a cheap entertainment Christianity or a movement that might cost their life, Gen Z rushed to serve.

“The tyrant dies and his rule is over; the martyr dies and his rule begins” -Søren Kierkegaard

Mario said we are at the beginning of the day where grandma’s watch their prayers be answered. We are in the day where we will vote the bums out of office and restore the nation as one nation under God. We are at the point where the lukewarm church will be put out of business by the on-fire church.

Mario said we cannot allow this roar to stay inside this Tent, we have to live it and give ourselves over to it. He said Christians are now the target, but we can make the Devil the target.

He said we must end the reign of the Christian haters and bring an end to the power structure that hates Jesus in America. Not the average American, but the oligarchy that the Left claims we are. But they are the ones who own the media, and the universities, and many of the members of Congress – 58 of whom refused to vote to honor a man killed in front of his children. If we do not end their reign, our children will not have a future.

Mario said we can no longer be neutral, no longer be silent, and we can no longer criticize those with the courage to go down to the school board meetings.

He told the people, “this fire cannot stay in this Tent. It must find a home in each of You. And when you have the fire, God will give you the instructions for what to do next.”

The church has a right to be here. It is not supposed to be a ‘nobody’, but to be in the halls of power, at the table of influence, to speak up and not shut up, to not be afraid.

Mario then put this quote up on the big screen, “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace. And this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.” – Thomas Paine

The popular theology has been “what is my blessing?” “My safety?” “My comfort?”. Mario said we need to put all of that on the shelf and ask instead, “What is my duty when men lie, and children are stolen, and murder and bloodshed are in the streets, and truth is nowhere to be found?”

“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus” (Acts 4:29-30 NKJV).

We need those who will enter the political arena and affect policy, we need those who can debate and speak against the lies, but we also need those who have healing in their hands and the anointing on their body.

The roar of divine healing cannot stay in the Tent. The anointing is not going to leave when Mario leaves the Tent – we all have the anointing.

Instead of raising a fist in anger, we will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. Instead of an angry argument we will see blind eyes open. We will not fill the air with religious noise, but we will empty wheelchairs in the name of Jesus!

“Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you” (1 Samuel 10:6-7 NKJV).

Mario finished out the night by turning the audience into an army, and had them praying over one another for healing and power. He asked everyone who needed healing to raise their hands and then instructed those around them to lay hands on those people and to pray for them that they would be healed and set free.

It was an incredibly powerful night and a powerful end to this crusade.

If you weren’t able to make it please consider coming in November to Conroe, TX for our final meeting this year. And if you really want your life transformed, sign up as a volunteer and let God use you in this great meeting.

    All I can say is wow and praise God! Holy spirit’s presence was there all over moving for whoever would receive it and I believe he was there because we went there too seek him with all our heart soul and mind and he was faithful as always. The preaching was the truth of the word and Powerful cuz we were open to receive it and not fight it with our own opinions. The worship was fire because we were hungry and thirsty and we stepped into it enjoying with all our hearts to receive whatever the Lord had for us. Revival comes from people, the church being hungry for the God who created us in the Savior who saved us and the power that is given to us through the Holy Spirit. And that’s what happened under that tent will not be left in the tent. I believe that what the Lord gave us, will follow us for the rest of our lives. With God’s grace we will be doers of the word not just listeners of the word. The Church. Is waking up.

  20. Pastor Ron Mattingly

    I was there and the Lord showed up so huge for me. My prayers for my situation were answered in a way only God could perform. Out of the (Blue) He provided in an unexpected way! I thank the Lord for His protection and provision. I saw healing and the flow of the Holy Spirit like I have never seen before in any church service I attended. I praise the Lord for giving me the direction to come and be a part of His move in Michigan. It is my joy to be obedient. I am eager to take the next step to further His Kingdom right where I live.

    “The Church”? The “Lukewarm” vs. The “On🔥Fire”. The Church that’s preaching the Gospel vs. The Church that’s ‘giving honor’ to the Big Muckety~Mucks in the Audience! The Church is losing a lot of its savor, but instead of going before the Lord asking for revival and restoration, they brainstorm for a new idea on how to ‘season’ the congregation.
    I’m concerned that “The Church” is in need of a rebuilt engine, an overhaul or at the very least, an Oil Change: 15W-40 to make it through those rough terrains.
    I’m afraid that the religious pundits are just that, ‘religious’ folks and not Christ~filled.
    But I’m most concerned that many believe “The Church” to be that Building or that Campus ~ requiring more fundraising: Cake-walks🧁 and Yard🪧Sales vs. Giving All Praises to Jesus Christ, from whom All Blessings Flow🙏🏾
    The “Body of Christ”, The “Bride of Christ” are We prepared to go out into the Fields of Sin and bring in the lost?
    Are we spiritually prepared to Do the Work of Him Who Have Sent Us? Or, are we still ‘Gettin’ Ready’

    Don’t fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (Matthew 10:28).

    Go where the church is afraid to go! He sends His angels with you. He also said,
    “I will never leave you” (Hebrews 13:5).

    An executive pastor said, “I don’t think we want our people going with you into that area. It is a little unsafe.” Others from another church went!

  26. NickT

    Amen

  27. Mary Rogers

    Mario you have encouraged me so much with your show “Fire Power!” God Bless you and Todd! We’re all watching!!

  28. Mahamba Wa-ibera Evariste

    Praise God. It is time for surrendering our life to Jesus and then experience the amazing result of our obedience to His voice. I am also serving God in the Democratic Republic of Congo

  29. Niki Pierce

    Mario, as I watched you and Todd Coconato on firepower tonite…that righteous indignation, that anger i could aee/feel/share in you both is being shared by .ore than perhaps even you expected…it is contagious in a good way for a purpose….

  30. Danny Lake

    Great and powerful word my Brother.
    Danny

  31. Elana Stockman

    Charlie’s martyrdom was a seed planted. Already the bush springs forth loaded with buds. We are blooms each flinging broadly the Divine fragrance of our Lord.

  32. Gretchen Carter

    Great word of encouragement. Truth and perfect love conquer the lies of the enemy. Hallelujah!

  33. P. Roloff

    Our prayers, appealing to heaven, are being answered and the Army of God is rising. Let it be said of us all that we did not back down.We did not shrink back, but together l we stood firm and followed Holy Spirits leading. We are told to go to the highways and the byways and compel them to come. These are our marching orders.

    Thank you Pastor Mario Murillo for not backing down but standing strong and leading the way.

  34. Muriel Attwood

    I listened from North .bay, Ontario, Canada
    I hadn’t heard about the teacher in Canada who mocked Charlie
    Kirk’s death. Our country needs God’s mercy..
    Powerful meetings. Thank you!

  35. Terry Haight

    Oh how we wish that Mario could bring his tent to Oregon. Thank you for all you do.

  36. Don Allen

    I have lately pondered the change in our priestly garb from the Old Covenant priesthood to the Covenant of Christ. We have been changed from cloth/wool/etc. to ARMOR! Did the people go out into the desert to hear a man in soft garments? No. And neither should we today! Just a thought.

  37. Lu Morgan

    How is fire power supported?
    Is it a website?

    • Mario Murillo

      Firepower is supported by Mario Murillo Ministries mariomurillo.org
