The Holy Spirit took over in Stockton. The largest crowd in the history of our tent crusades was Sunday. Monday was a continuation, not a comedown.
If Night 1 broke the record, Night 2 broke the program. Mario had a sermon. The Holy Spirit had something else in mind. And before Mario read a single verse, the worship had already taken those in the Tent somewhere most services don’t go on their best night.
Catherine Mullins and band were back, and they were a level above. That’s not a throwaway compliment. They’ve been incredible night after night across this crusade season, and last night they went higher.
They opened with “Jesus Did It, It Is Finished,” the kind of declaration that hits differently in a tent full of people who came expecting something to be settled. From there into “Praise the Lord, Oh My Soul,” Catherine paused mid-set to call out the American church’s polite worship problem. “We sing this song sometimes with our arms crossed. The clubs are full on a Saturday night going crazy. When did we become too dignified to give Jesus what He’s worthy of?” She wasn’t joking. She wasn’t venting. She was setting an order.
Then “Raise a Hallelujah” turned into open-air warfare. Catherine prophesied between phrases. Drug addiction breaking. Prostitution breaking. The spirit of murder being driven out of California. “I Call You Jesus” hit the line “dead things come alive every time I call your name” and the Tent audience leaned in.
And then they sang “I Exalt Thee.”
I don’t have a better way to describe what happened than what I felt. It was not a gentle filling. It was an instantaneous and weighty presence. As if a cloud the size of the Tent dropped in suddenly and pressed out all the air. I was standing just off platform where the team waits. Every one of them threw their hands in the air at the same instant. Tears came. It was heavy, and it was full of love, and it was unmistakably God.
Mario named it later. “It’s because Catherine obeyed God that we reached a level of His presence that requires us to do two things.” But the team off-platform knew it before he said a word. The shift was that obvious.
Mario Refused to Break What the Holy Spirit Built
When Mario stepped up, he kept his eyes shut for a reason. “The glory is on me. Part of me is here. Part of me is not here.” He sent the kids back to their seats so the fire would carry across every section of the Tent. He asked the room to sit reverently and quietly. “There is so much power under this Tent that to me the idea of the dead being raised would be nothing. That’s how much power is in this Tent.”
Then he announced what was coming. Not a sermon. A takeover. “The program for tonight has been taken over by the Holy Spirit.” Two things were going to happen. He was going after lost souls. And then there was going to be worship again before any healing began.
He went to the prophet Amos and the picture of the plowman overtaking the reaper. A harvest so massive that the ones planting the next crop ran into the ones still gathering the last one. “While preaching is important, the day is coming when people will want to get saved at the very beginning of a meeting.” He referenced Charles Finney, who used to empty the first four rows of his crusades and call them the mourner’s bench, deliberately reserved for people under such conviction they couldn’t wait for the sermon to end.
That’s exactly what Mario was about to do.
Matthew 8 and 2 Timothy 3: The Word “Fierce”
He gave himself two verses. One in Matthew 8. One in 2 Timothy 3. The Greek word translated “fierce” appears twice in the New Testament. Once for the demon-possessed man among the tombs. Once for the times we’re now living in.
“In the last days perilous times will come” (2 Timothy 3:1, NKJV).
Mario read it back the way the Greek allows: in the last days, demon-possessed times will come. “Satan knows his time is short. He’s not even hiding anymore.” He listed the strategies. Islam as an international weapon. Addiction as a prevalent weapon. And the one nobody talks about: madness. The assault on sanity itself.
“You know, we think about cancer and paralysis and advanced diabetes. But we don’t talk about madness. And if you’ve ever been near someone that has lost their mind, a catatonic person you could yell at and their eyes won’t even blink, what are you doing to protect your sanity?”
He named it for what it is. Nightmares. Daymares. Sudden outbursts of rage that no medication touches. Depression that won’t lift. Drug binges where you don’t even care who you wake up next to. “You are under the final assault on the human race where the final battlefield is going to be the mind.”
The answer wasn’t a self-help formula. It was Romans 12 and the renewing of the mind. 2 Timothy 1:7. “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind.” And the man in the cave, after the demons left him, who was found “clothed and in his right mind.”
The Altar Call That Came Before the Sermon Finished
Mario didn’t wait. He cut his own message off mid-stream. “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. You got to be saved now.”
Hands went up. He told them to stand. He told them to come.
They came from every section. Mario had them recreate the parting of the Red Sea, splitting the responding crowd to either side and marching them out of the Tent past the seated congregation while the church cheered them into the kingdom. The volunteers were waiting. The aisles filled. The harvest came in before the healing service had even begun, exactly as Mario had said the prophet Amos described.
“This was not me. This was not my eloquence. This is God working in Stockton, California.”
The Worship Came Back, and Then the Healings Came
Mario kept his promise. He brought the band back up before any healing began. “Look What the Lord Has Done.” “Goodness of God.” “I Got a Feeling.” Catherine led the Tent in shouts and dance until the air was charged again. He had warned them. They were not done worshiping.
When he finally moved into the healing portion, he honored every pastor in the Tent first. He had every ordained minister stand to their feet and prayed over them by name and by category. He prayed against Muslim acquisition of church property in the region. He prayed for revival to break out in their pulpits, for words of knowledge to become normal in their services, for finances to be released. “No Christian property is going to pass to the Muslims in this region in the Name of Jesus.”
Then he turned to Acts 3:16 (NKJV). “And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness.”
His message on healing faith was set up by a story most of the audience had never heard. Warren Rogers. Baltimore. Beaten nearly to death by two robbers in his bread truck, a birthmark on his face sliced open like an artery, nearly every one of his bones broken, his body locked in a brace, scheduled for surgical fusion that would leave him a slap-walker for the rest of his life. Mario was preaching a crusade nearby when his wife was hit with sudden excruciating pain in her hip and spine, an attack out of nowhere on the night of a healing service. Mario went into the forest behind the hotel and prayed so violently he said you could feel leaves falling off the trees. She was healed. Then in the lobby, he had a vision of a man in a delivery truck being beaten. “There’s a man right down there. Spine, neck, back, legs, heart, and lungs. All of them are going to be healed.”
That night Warren Rogers was in the back of the meeting wearing his body brace. When Mario gave the word of knowledge, he undid the hinges, set the cage beside him, and ran to the front. Healed. He went on to lead his psychiatrist to Christ. Then his surgeon. Then his Jewish attorney, the one who’d won him $350,000 in damages. “It was done by your Messiah.”
The point wasn’t the story. The point was the principle. “Why would I know what’s wrong with you if God wasn’t going to heal you? Why would I know?”
The Woman in White
Then Mario called out a woman in white. He had her stand. Her hips were the worst of it. The pain made her walk shift. She couldn’t take a flight of stairs without help. Her heart, her lungs, her knees, her neck, all of it was carrying years of weight.
Mario quoted Peter at the gate Beautiful: “Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6, NKJV).
He told her to come out to the aisle.
She rushed out and ran full speed across the front of the Tent.
That’s not a figure of speech. She ran. After the Acts 4 sermon Night 1 about the healed man at the gate Beautiful enraging the powers of darkness, the same scene played in the same tent the next night. Acts 3 and Acts 4 unfolding in sequence in Stockton. The book is opening here.
Healings Across the Tent
From there it didn’t stop. A man in a white hat in the front row had something deeply hidden in his body that Mario called out by the Spirit. The lady in the pink beside him received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on the spot, her spine being straightened as she stood, a new language coming out of her mouth that wasn’t English. Mario revealed that she’d been praying for the baptism for months.
A man toward the back was healed of pain in his lungs from chemical fumes. A woman with ringing in her ears was told the miracle was actually in her brain, with a series of conditions following. A veteran in a white hat was told the Lord was rewarding his service, with healing released into his blood. A young woman was healed of one-sided body pain. A man identified by the Spirit was healed of injuries from a car accident, including one leg shorter than the other. He ran in place to prove it.
Mario then had everyone needing a healing raise their hands and called the rest of the Tent to lay hands on the people next to them. He led the whole Tent in prayer in the Holy Spirit and called out diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, asthma, cancer, neurological disorders, every category in turn.
Hundreds stood at the end to declare they had received their healing.
Looking Forward
Tuesday night, Mario said the power of God will intensify.
He’s not exaggerating. Two nights in, this was the largest crowd in our tent history. The altar call came before the sermon finished. A woman was healed in her hip joints and ran across the Tent! The Holy Spirit took over the program because the program was too small for what He came to do.
Stockton is not a flyover stop on the way to somewhere bigger. Stockton is the headline.

And what better way than to bring these thousands to surrender to Him an heal everyone who needs His touch. Praise God for this work and may it continue to bring in the sheep by the flock.
Bless you all.
Mario, Thank you for this blog. I believe in miracles. My legs hurt really bad and I believe in the prayer of agreement. I know you have a special anointing on you. Just like the centurion who said Jesus didn’t need to go heal his servant I believe your prayer will heal my body. Also, the devil stole from me and I have been praying for him to restore that which was stolen. I have been to healing services in the past and have felt the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe my healing will inspire others to believe. Thank you for reading this and praying. God bless you Mario. You inspire me to seek God in all things.
AMEN AMEN AMEN AND AMEN NOW IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!
God bless you and the worship team for ushering in the PRESENCE OF GOD!!! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!! God is moving through out America and across the world… WE WELCOME YOU HOLY SPIRIT!

Prayers being too small. 19 days ago praying for my daughter trapped in gender identity, Holy Spirit spoke “your prayers are too small.Expand your prayers to include others trapped by gender identity. Others are desperate for help”
AMEN!
Praise the Lord God Almighty Hallelujah Hallelujah for His goodness and faithfulness for His Mercy endures forever , I believe for that same anointing operating in California to operate in my house hold for I know that the anointing is transferable.
Lord Jesus, thank you!
Holy Spirit cover this nation with conviction and fire! And come to the east coast.
God is truly moving with Holy Spirit power and is so obvious and beautiful to see. Jesus wants all to come to repentance and have eternal life with Him. Oh the almighty power is strong and never ending. So thankful for the tent meetings and keeping all the team safe from the evil one and bringing living hope to so many people.
I am inspired by this story. I am also getting the message that all of us need to start preparing for the coming days where demon inspired events will increase and we must give more of our time and effort in flowing in the spirit to push back the darkness.
An awesome move or God, when are you coming to north Georgia?
KEEP PRAYING AND THE HEALING WILL COME. GOD BLESS.

So happy to hear you say Muslims will not get church property. There are over 300 mosques in New York alone. The Dallas/Fort Worth area has at least 67 mosques. It is being called stealth jihad. More prayer needed on how to reach the Muslim communities for the real Jesus of the Cross, not the prophet Jesus of Islam.
Keep up the Lord’s work. We need some healing here in NJ also. When is the Lord going to have you come to the right coast, instead of spending all your time at the Left coast?
When you do, Betty and I will be glad to be on the press team, and also to act as prayers for New believers, as we did in Batavia, NY.
Help us with theDanielPlace to promote your meetings. Let’s talk! 732-979-7001.
We love you all. Covering these meeting in Stockton – Mario and the whole gang in prayer as we have been doing for quite a while! Souls, souls, souls to be saved!! Ask the Lord of the harvest for laborers for His harvest- we have and He has and is answering that prayer!
