The tent in Stockton just broke its own record.
Mario said it from the platform, plain and unambiguous: this was the largest crowd to ever attend a Living Proof Tent Crusade. The previous record was set in San Bernardino just a few weeks ago. Stockton broke it on opening night. Not the healing service. Not the final night. Night one.
The tent was packed early. By the time worship began, the entire front of the tent was filled with young people, including children. That alone would have been worth writing about. There’s something happening with the next generation in California that the headlines aren’t catching, and tonight you could see it in the faces of the kids pressed up against the platform before Catherine even sang a note.
Catherine and the band carried the room before Mario opened the Bible
Catherine Mullins and her team were incredible as always. From the first song, the tent didn’t feel like an audience getting warmed up. It felt like a war room being assembled.
They opened with “I Thank the Master, I Thank the Savior” and you could feel the weight of testimony in the room. Then came the declarations that have become anthems in this tent. “I’ve Been Washed in the Water.” “When I Move My Body, When I Move My Feet.” “Holy Forever.” And the warfare anthem that always does what it’s meant to do: “The devil can’t have me or my family. This is an eviction notice to the enemy. The chain breaker’s in the room, and there’s no telling what he’s gonna do.”
Catherine paused mid-set and named what was actually happening. “What I love about the people in this tent tonight is you didn’t come for a show. We came to see Jesus glorified. We came to see Jesus magnified. We came to see the lost set free.”
By the time worship moved into “Holy” and the angels song, the air in the tent had changed. Catherine said it out loud: “I feel like in this moment, we’re right on this edge of truly heaven meeting earth.”
She wasn’t exaggerating.
Mario refused to break what the Holy Spirit had built
When Mario stepped up, he did something I’ve watched him do over and over but it never stops being striking. He read the room. He sent the kids back to their seats so they could carry the fire with them across every section of the tent. Then he said, “One of the dumbest moves that modern preachers make is they never discern what the Holy Spirit is doing in a room. They go by a program or they go by habit or they want the attention.”
Then came the line that set the tone for the whole night: “We are living in a day where the margin of error is razor thin. Nobody can preach the wrong sermon anymore. No one can afford the mistake of a throwaway service. Every single gathering of the Christians in America now has to be anointed and strategic and undeniably within the design of God.”
He told the tent he was about to preach one of the most important messages of his life. He prayed for scales to fall, for pride to break, for the unshakeable to be shaken. And then he announced what the camera would later confirm: this was the largest crowd to ever fill the Living Proof tent.
He honored the pastors next. He had every ordained minister in the tent stand. He called it one of the greatest displays of unity in the history of Stockton. Then he addressed something that quietly poisons crusades in church-host situations, the fear that a pastor hosting the meeting on their campus is going to “get all of the result.” He named it and killed it. Pastor James and Sharice of Life Song, he said, want every church in this region to grow. They don’t want an empty seat in any house of God in this region. He charged the body to drop sectarianism on the spot. Then he asked the question that landed: “What do we really want? Do we really worship the idea of having the biggest church in town or getting America back to God?”
The Sermon: Acts 4 and the Cost of an Undeniable Miracle
Mario opened in Acts 4:14-17 (NKJV): “And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it… What shall we do to these men? For indeed that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it… so that it goes no further, let us threaten them severely.”
The setup was the healing of the man at the gate Beautiful. Mario painted the scene with the kind of specificity that wakes a sermon up. Imagine, he said, if Stockton had its most visible quadriplegic, the one everyone knew through the media, the one everyone walked around at the corner. And one day he gets up and walks. “That would shake up Instagram. And it shook up Jerusalem.”
Then he made the move. The same five members of the crime family of Jerusalem who had crucified Jesus were now staring down Peter, who only weeks before had denied even knowing Christ. But the coward was gone. “This pussycat had his subatomic molecules scrambled by the fire and the tongue of the Holy Spirit. And suddenly the coward is a lion.”
“Everyone believes that miracles create such beautiful reactions,” Mario said. “Nothing enrages the powers of darkness like miracles.”
He drew the modern parallel without flinching. The same authorities who tried to outlaw the Apostles are at work today. England, Colorado, Canada, where you can be jailed for quoting the Bible. The closing of the churches in 2020 wasn’t an emergency response, it was a rehearsal. “We thought the mark would come a different way. We didn’t know that it would come through an injection… Ladies and gentlemen, we’re in the middle of the book of Revelation right now.”
The Half Christian
Mario then turned the blade on the Church.
He went to 2 Timothy 3 (NKJV) and explained the literary technique Paul was using. When you list dangers, you save the worst for last. Paul lists lovers of self, lovers of pleasure, heady, high-minded, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, unthankful. And then verse 5 lands like the heaviest weight: “having a form of godliness but denying the power of it.”
“It’s the half Christian,” Mario said. “It’s the twilight zone Christian. It’s the believer that is in and out, up and down, sometimes right, a lot of times not. Thinking the opposite of what they should be thinking. Instead of thinking I’m in mortal danger, they’re thinking my occasional bouts where I turn to Jesus prove that I have a good heart.”
Then the line that exposed every backslidden pew-sitter in the tent: “How many of you have ever heard a person say, I can quit smoking anytime I want, I’ve done it a hundred times. See, I can quit being out in the world because I’ve done it a hundred times. And you don’t know that every time you have turned from God’s way to your own way, it was Satan who was setting you up.”
The Desire and the Power
Mario quoted Philippians 2:13 (NKJV): “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” He pointed out that even secular behavioral scientists have isolated the two things that make change possible, motivation and power. “What they don’t realize is that they are preaching the gospel. They’re imitating Jesus, and it’s a sad imitation. Because Paul wrote it first.”
Then he stopped the sermon. Mid-stream. He said it plainly: “I’m going to interrupt the middle of my sermon, because you should not be going to hell. You shouldn’t be sitting there on your way to hell. And I can’t make you sit through a whole sermon before you finally are saved from your sin. You got to be saved now.”
The Altar Call
What happened next was as powerful as any altar call we have witnessed. And given what we just walked through in San Bernardino, that’s saying something.
Mario asked for hands. Then he asked them to stand. Then he told them to come.
They came from every section. The altar area filled clear across the tent. They lined the three main aisles. When they spilled out into the field, our volunteer team was waiting and the line of volunteers stretched the entire 40,000 square foot width of the tent and wrapped around both ends. I went outside to see them being ministered to and I literally could not see the entire line of volunteers at once. The tent had prepared for a wave. Stockton sent a tide.
Every single volunteer was put to work.
The Healings: God Did Not Wait
When Mario returned to the platform, the healing service was clearly already underway. He shifted into healing without ceremony.
He called for everyone in the tent who had difficulty walking, who was being healed, to get up, move into the aisle, and come toward the front. The response was so heavy that I got trapped behind a line of people walking back and forth across the altar area. I couldn’t even get out to take my usual photographs. I had to retreat to the platform.
Then came the woman in the green dress.
Mario called her out and identified five things in her body before she said a word. A fall years earlier had broken her pelvis and she had been in pain for 20 years. She was in her second round with cancer. Her eyesight was failing. There was more, condition after condition that Mario named one by one.
All of it healed. Powerfully. She walked across the tent free of pain.
Mario closed the night by asking everyone who still needed prayer to raise their hands, and there were hands in every section. He had the tent pray in tongues and lay hands on one another. The Holy Spirit moved row by row. Healing was happening in places Mario never named, because at that point He didn’t need to. The tent itself had become the altar.
This Is the First Night
Mario said it earlier in the night and it bears repeating. This is the first night. Not the third. Not the healing service. The first.
The largest crowd in the history of the Living Proof tent. An altar call response that filled the front and three aisles and required the entire volunteer army. Healings breaking out before the designated healing service. A Holy Spirit who refused to follow the program because the program was too small for what He came to do.
If you live within driving distance of Stockton and you are not in this tent, you are missing what this region has been waiting decades for. The pundits told us California was finished. God did not get the memo.
Bring the sick. Bring the lost. Bring the desperate. Bring the kids. Bring the neighbor you’ve been praying for. The tent is open every night and the meetings are getting bigger, not smaller.

How wonderful to know that our Lord is continuing to do miracles on earth just as He
did during His brief time here on earth. It is such a blessing to read about the many
miracles taking place during bro. Murillo’s tent meetings and the powerful anointing on his life. How I long and pray that someday he will make his way to Canada. How we need to witness and be part of such a heavenly, miraculous tent meeting.
Thank God Mario that your mother gave birth to you, and as you grew up, HE chose you to pick up the mantle of GOD’s heart for the citizens of America to teach, expose and confirm the Holy Trinity’s purpose for America May You continue strong and clear in your purpose to create an atmosphere of HIS HEAVEN on earth right now for all who seek Jesus,Father God and Holy Spirit
When people say, “GOD IS GREAT”, do they really know how GREAT.?
When you plan your message, and then open your mouth, and the Lord takes over, HE GIVES YOU THE WORDS FOR THAT OCASSION.
HOW GREAT THOU ART. PRAISE YOUR WONDERFUL NAME.
All I can say is to God be the Glory! He is truly awesome and thank you team for being open vessels. Dear Lord do it again and again!!!!
Good evening,
My name is Leon Barnard and I am from Western Australia.
When I read your blog I started weeping about how great and mighty the crusade was and felt the anointing in my bedroom. Thank you to Mario and the team for the great work you are doing on behalf of our LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS. I wish I was with you in Stockton to experience the awesome power of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Please pray for me as I have serious pain in my shoulders and back. Also for my two sons Emmanuel and Noel to have a supernatural encounter with JESUS and to give their lives to HIM.
May the LORD bless u in all your endeavours for the kingdom and many souls be harvested.
I know that prayer and the Holy Spirit knows no distance and truly believe for a miracle healing and both my sons to be saved.
In love and kindest regards.
Leon

Praise the Lord hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus for what you’re doing with Mario and the tent. I have to share something. The Lord Jesus has allowed me to live with HIV AIDS for 45 years and outlived 10 doctors thank you Jesus I love you. I was having difficulty with my liver and the Lord is healing me. I made a mistake. I tried the meds again every time I take them, they messed my liver up and I prayed to the Lord what’s going on and you know what he told me he said no man will take my glory. I am the one keeping you alive to do my work not Pharmacia witchcraft sorcery. I am living psalms 91. It was prophesied over me in the 80s that I was part of it it’s a prophecy psalm for the last days I didn’t understand it then I was a young Christian and I thank him that he brought me out of Sodom and Gomorrah Jesus is real he’s coming when the Lord told me that I randomly opened the Bible and I got to the book where Hezekiah was dying snd the prophet, Elijah came to him and told him he was dying, and when the prophet walked home, Hezekiah pulled himself out of the bed and prayed and cried to the Lord against the wall, and the Lord told the prophet go back and tell him he will live another 15 years. I couldn’t stop crying. The Lord is so wonderful. He’s given me another 15 years, but you know what I don’t think we’ll be here but whatever The Lord wants I will do it. There are so many miracles. The Lord has done in my life and in 1991 I had full-blown aids with hepatitis C 3 million viral load of HIV in 5 million of hepatitis C and I was totally healed from hepatitis C before there was a cure and it doesn’t even show the antibody in my body to this day. People Jesus is real he’s coming thank you father for your son. Keep looking up our redemption‘s drawing near. And heavenly father in Jesus name cover Mario and his family with your precious blood and we will give you all the praise.
Pray many get saved and baptized in the HG in Stockton. A question not being asked much anymore is found in Acts 19:2 when Paul asked certain disciples Have you received the HG since you believed? After Salvation the baptism in the HG is needed. If you know Jesus you need to ask Jesus to baptize you in the HG. This is not water baptism but the baptism in the HG. Acts 1:5 Acts 2:4. Pray Jesus you’re my Lord and Jesus I ask you to baptize me in the HG and help me release my prayer language.
I felt the power of the Holy Spirit just reading about the meeting in Stockton! Praying for more and more salvations and healings tonight! Thank You Jesus!!!
Praying for you Mario and all your beautiful volunteers. Praise God. I wish you could come to AL. I know it’s Bible Belt but so many are lukewarm. Praying for strength and resilience as you continue in your purpose for serving God

Hello brother Mario. Hey, I have a question for you.
Did you know that there is an amp theater right next to the Oceanside Pier,
in Oceanside, California? It is an open area, right next to the Pier.
There is a lot of open seating, concrete seating. Plus, a lot of room for standing
and it is right below the main street and space all by the pier.
I know that a bunch of people hang out there and come from all over.
I believe this would be a great place for you to have another revival meeting.
Just a thought. Bless you brother Mario. Something to think and pray about!
Rejoicing for all that is being done!
Preparing Miami in prayer for the same Holy Spirit arrival to do what He wants. Woohoo! God you are amazing and desire to show all that you are so!
Hallelujah thank you Abba Father!!! We love you so, Yahweh 🙌🙌🙏 All Glory goes to You our Savior!!
