Night 3 in Stockton, CA, something new broke open.
Every night of this crusade, the front of the Tent has filled up with young people. It’s been building over the past several tent meetings, but in Stockton it’s exploded. Tonight after the altar call, when Catherine and the worship team came back up to lead, the young people packed the front again. And they were explosive. When Mario walked back to the platform, they cheered for what felt like several minutes without stopping. When he reacted, they cheered louder.
But here’s what mattered: they weren’t cheering for Mario. They weren’t cheering for Catherine. They were cheering for the presence of God in the room.
And Mario saw it. He stopped and said it from the platform: “The young people have taken over this crusade. It’s theirs now.” Then he said it again, slower. “Whenever Christianity turns back into a youth movement, that is Satan’s worst nightmare.”
The prophet Joel said it would happen. In the last days, God would pour out His Spirit on the sons and daughters. We’re watching the beginning of it.
Catherine and the Prophetic Setup
Worship tonight didn’t feel like a warm-up. It felt like a setup. Catherine led the room into “Glorious Day,” then “Goodbye Yesterday,” then “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”. And the room sang back like it meant every word. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17, NKJV). She had everyone in the Tent declaring it.
Then she stopped and pointed at a young woman in a white shirt with a cross necklace. And what she said was a prophetic word that turned out to be the key to the entire night.
“I heard your yes in the quiet,” Catherine said. “Maybe your, ‘Yes’ didn’t seem really, really loud, but when you began to say, ‘Yes’ to Jesus, it was like your hand reached back to the kids behind you and you started pulling people to Jesus with your, Yes.’
Then she prophesied over the next generation. “I decree that you are not going to be a generation that knows Egypt, but you’re going to know the presence of God. You’re going to know the purpose of God. You’re going to know the glory of God.” She broke off the spirit of gender confusion. She broke off every lie that says you have to look like Hollywood, sound like Hollywood, dress like Hollywood. “You are a blood-bought saint. You’re called to live differently. You’re called to look different.”
That word landed before anything else happened. And then everything else happened.
Mario Scraps the Plan
Mario came up and announced he was throwing out his sermon. The Holy Spirit had told him not to wait, but to go after souls right now, immediately. He said the heaviness of this meeting had been more intense than any in his life. “I am not going to disobey the Holy Spirit. No matter what He says, no matter what He requires, no matter what change I’ve got to make.”
Then he told a story about a young couple about to be married. A car accident. The bride was killed instantly. The groom survived but lost his memory. Couldn’t remember his name. Couldn’t remember his parents. But when he walked past a restaurant where the two of them used to go, an overwhelming grief came over him that he couldn’t explain.
“That’s spiritual amnesia,” Mario said. “California is beautiful. But when people sit out in nature, they get the same feeling that young man with amnesia had. Because something is wrong. Humanity lost its connection to God.”
He called it like he saw it. The loneliness you can’t explain. The vague fear, like some tragedy already happened. The relentless search of the young on social media for meaning and purpose. “Christianity is God’s answer to that amnesia.”
Then the warning. “If you say no to what I’m about to offer you, you can no longer blame anyone else but yourself for the pain in your life. You’ve replaced your parents as the villain. You’ve replaced your enemies as the villain. You’ve become your own worst enemy.”
Hands went up across the Tent. Mario asked them to come forward. They came in waves and he led them in the prayer: “I was lost. I was on my way to hell. I had no hope. And out of mercy, you brought me to my senses.”
The Praise Break
Catherine and the band came back and that’s when the Tent erupted. The young people swarmed the front. The team launched into “Look What the Lord Has Done,” then “Goodness of God,” then “I’ve Got a Feeling Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,” and the room turned into something that doesn’t have a name in modern church vocabulary.
Mario asked who remembered when tents had sawdust on the floor. When people danced not because the music told them to but because they couldn’t help it. He told the young people they were dancing for relief, not entertainment. The room went up. Catherine kept driving the songs. The youth kept driving the room.
This is when it became impossible to deny. The atmosphere shifted from a service into a movement.
How to Save America
When Mario finally opened the Word, he preached out of 2 Kings 7. The four lepers at the gate of Samaria during the famine. He named the sermon, “How to Save America.”
He walked through it like this. Three of the lepers were stuck. The first was a cynic, “If we sit here, we die.” The second was a pessimist, “If we go in the city, we die.” The third was a nihilist, “We’re going to die wherever we go, nothing matters.” That spirit, Mario said, is in the American church right now.
But the fourth leper got up, put on his finest robe, his gold sash, his fine shoes and walked across the desert toward the enemy’s camp. The other three trailed behind him grumbling, “You can’t do that. You might die.” Mario’s voice sharpened. “Wait a minute. This was the church of die. And I hear that language in the body of Christ all the time. We can’t do that, this bad thing might happen. That bad thing is already happening.”
Then came the rebuke he’d clearly been waiting to deliver. He told the story of being on TBN years ago when a famous prophecy preacher spent 30 minutes telling a room full of young people that no great revival was coming, that America wasn’t even in the Bible. Mario watched their faces shatter. When it was his turn at the microphone, he stood up and said, “I want everyone to totally disregard everything you’ve heard for the last 30 minutes. Because our God is an awesome God.”
He turned to us tonight and pressed it harder. “How dare you say we cannot obey God and see revival in America. How dare you say that to us.” The young people roared.
Then he made it personal. He said the lepers in the story aren’t just America. They’re the fallen ministers. The pastors who lost it morally. The men of God who failed and got shamed off the platform. The elderly preacher dreaming of the days when his Bible was marked up and he was traveling. Mario said that God is going to resurrect them. Some of them shall fall… to refine them, purify them, and make them white (Daniel 11:35, NKJV).
“There’s got to come back in the body of Christ that pioneer spirit,” he said. “Who is God going to use? He’s going to use the wild teenager and the heartbroken grandpa, and He’s going to put them together.”
Then the climax of the sermon. The LORD caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses and the noise of a great army (2 Kings 7:6, NKJV). In reality, it was just four lepers walking on sand — but God amplified them through what Mario called “hydroponic nuclear million-watt speakers” until the enemy heard a marching army and fled. “If you will get a big vision for saving America, God will go before you. Go before you have the money. Go before you have all the guarantees. Go in the name of Jesus and watch God go before you.”
He closed the sermon with a declaration he made the room repeat. “We are not going to be non-binary. We are not going to be socialist. We are not going to be atheist. We are not going to be Muslim. We are going to be Holy Ghost-filled, blood-bought children of God. And America will be saved. And America will be saved. And America will be saved!”
The Wave
Mario said he’d wrestled with God about how to end the night. He didn’t call the youth forward. He didn’t do a traditional healing line. He told us to lay hands on each other.
“Sickness is going to be healed across this Tent. I am not going to call out any illness. I won’t need to. It’ll be on everyone.”
Then it broke. Healings. Baptisms in the Holy Spirit. Deliverance. People stood up across the Tent as the power hit them. Tongues broke out in clusters. Mario walked the platform pointing at people who’d just received. “That’s a baptism in the Holy Spirit right there. Another one. Stand.”
He told the room he’d never felt the power this strong any night of the week. The waves kept rolling. People standing. People weeping. People shaking off demonic oppression. The youth at the front pressed in like they’d been waiting their whole lives for this.
It was probably the most powerful single moment of the entire crusade so far.
One More Night
Wednesday is the final night. Mario hinted there may be a major announcement. He said, plainly, that you don’t want to find out secondhand.
Stockton has been called the most spiritually significant moment of Mario’s entire ministry. The youth have taken over the Tent. Catherine has prophesied the generation out of Egypt. The fallen are being resurrected. The Spirit is being poured out on sons and daughters. And we’re not done.
We’re not waiting for revival. We are the revival.

Wow 👌 👏 What team work,being led by the Holy Spirit
Great is our God,and greatly to be praised🙌🙌
He is building an army of warriors, with the young people.
Please Please come to Westchester, Putnam County. New York. I know you came to upstate New York not long ago but here in Westchester and Putnam the people are being completely drowned in deception. Our youth are being hung out to dry. I know that hearts may be hard but there are so many who are starving and dont know it. Please come here! Your ministry is so authentic and real. We desperately need a move of The Holy Spirit here!
Heavenly father in Jesus name, I thank you for what you’re doing with the youth. And I know heavenly father you will heal these young ones who are HIV. You are so beautiful Lord and I thank you that you allow me to live with this terrible virus for 45 years and I’m in pretty good health at 69 years old coming the 28th of this month. I plead the blood of Jesus over these young ones that they be delivered from homosexuality and non-binary. And I praise you and thank you that you brought me out of Sodom and Gomorrah too. Keep up the good work Mario love you in Christ Jesus.
Praise the Lord, Thank You for sharing, God continue blessing all of you
Wish I were there with you. I am 83, but I would love to be worshipping in the middle of those young people!
I was a volunteer in Conroe, but this is amazing. Thank you, Lord. Lord, thank you for MM and the worship team. Give them strength!
We need this momentum to stay, with this youth led revival spirit burning and blazing in this present hour. Glory to our King Jesus. Blessings to MMM.
Beautiful,Praise God for His love for us
The old time religion has been reserected with newness of life.
The Lord is fulfilling prophetic words He has spoken over Stocton. The best is yet to come.
Thank you for doing your part.
I really see this where I live in Eastern Wa. Young people are really waking up to God as the world has gone very crazy and they were in it but found emptiness. They are coming to Christ and being filled to the top with hope and it is one wonderful thing to see here. So beautiful. Praise God for what He did in Stockton with all those young people.
What on earth is happening 😭 GOD Is moving 🙏 prepare
ING hearts 💕. It is good to know that there is aLIFE outside of what we can see 🙈. These are the days!!! AMEN
Thank you MARIO. YOU HAVE BEEN SO MIGHTILY USED OF THE LORD. I NEED A COMPLETE RESTORATION IN MY LIFE
I have never been to a revival that is so profound before. If you have never been to one I encourage you to go and receive the Holy Ghost. This is an eye opening for those who are on the fence. You will never forget this moment and time. I pray it will happen again and again and again the youth need the alignment with the Lord
This is a memory that will never fade
Glory To God.Praise The Name of The Lord.
The young people who see visions, the old folks who dream dreams are those of us who seek the Almighty God’s power and authority given to us for His kingdom to come.
Our eternal life—whether we are in this body that is mortal or in the resurrected body immortal—is here and now as the grace of God has blessed us with a new life, a new birth.
To God be the glory!
The Jesus People are calling all believers to live as “more than conquerors” and usher in the great revival in America and in the world.
Hallelujah!!!

I’ve been waiting since the 1990’s for a hunger for God like this from the Church let it (revival) spread like wildfire across America, watched last two nights and will watch tonight Churches better get ready to offer 7 day a week services people are about to hunger for the Presence of God daily
Beautiful!!! God be glorified in all the land!!!
God is awesome and amazing!!! Being obedient

fruit!!!
You blessed many, Mario! Thank you, and God bless America!
I’m so blessed just hearing this great news. I’d love to have attended. My wife just had hip replacement and I needed to be present to help her. We live in NW Arizona and I’d have been there as a volunteer if at all possible w/o shirking my responsibilities at home
It is good to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises into Your name, O Most High
Ps, 92:1, words are not enough to Praise God for what he has done. We cried to you Lord to meet our youth at this tent meeting and now O Lord, we thank you for what you have done.
LET THERE BE GLORY AND HONOR AND PRAISES! GLORY AND HONOR TO JESUS! LET THERE BE GLORY, LET THERE BE HONOR, GLORY AND HONOR TO HIM!! AMEN.
Please come to Australia Mario. There’s a great harvest here too. I think the young people are ready to hear your message.
Hallelujah: Awesome!!!
