Dear Partners in glory!
This is the MOST difficult update I have ever written to you. Due to the sensitive nature of what I saw and heard in my dream many years ago, the Call of God to pray for revival,
I never like to share the details with anyone. I am too far gone to look back or get discouraged. My soul cannot deny His Presence, and my spirit cannot deny His Name! So Satan lose again, and again and again! Hallelujah to the Lamb of God.
God Controls History!
Throughout the Old Testament, history repeated itself of how God intervened with the affairs of the house of Israel. Two of the repeated interventions of God were the stopping of the drought and the locust from eating up their Land. Drought, recession and locust are types of plagues!
When locust eats the fields, the whole vegetation including the grass, the trees, the crops are eaten dead. In the same manner, when drought hits a land, the whole vegetation, the cattle, the goat, the sheep and the crops are scorched dead.
Amos 4:7 reminds us one of God’s interventions: "And I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain upon one city, and send no rain upon another city; one field would be rained upon, and the field on which it did not rain withered".
The Current Drought was Foretold!
God cannot do anything on earth without making His Will known. Here is what I wrote in Hosanna Historical Journal
back in 1986: “On March 18, 1986 I had a dream of the oncoming droughts. In my dream, I was walking through the parking lot of a large shopping center. Of all the stores at the center, only two remained opened while others were closed. I asked the Lord: How can all these stores closed? The Lord Jesus, audibly,
spoke back to me: ‘Go now and pray for revival and when revival comes, it shall break the drought”.
This marked my humble beginning, the Call of God, a great burden,
to pray for revivals in America. Over the years, we pray for revival in all our services! We pray for the White House, our business leaders, economy, sick and homeless people, ourselves, and as the Holy Spirit leads us. Because of God’s faithfulness to His Word,
from March 18, 1986 to this morning, there is no day that I do not pray for revivals in America and around the world. My passion for revivals has become a vital part of my life, my daily routine, my bread, my love and my hope.
Go Now And Pray for Revival And When Revival Comes..!
Yes, Hosanna Revivals was greatly attacked by the enemies, but God prevailed! The greatest revival ever known to mankind is knocking on our doors.
Now one thing I guarantee you, as we go deeper into celebrating His glory, the drought will stop and the recession will be over! You ask me, how can you categorically say that? I say that to say this:
God stands by His Word to fulfill it! God is a God of History. If He has mercy on Israel in the Old Testament, He will have mercy on us if we call on Him. If He healed eight people with different forms of cancers in our Church in the past, He will heal 10,000 more if we call on Him.
Glory!
Here is what God told the house of Israel in 2 Chronicles 7: 14: “If my people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”.
The recent drought’s report from the State of Texas, spoke a mouthful of the damage already done by the present progressive drought: “Drought killed 300 million trees in Texas in 2011”.

Prayer Changes Things! Prayer Makes Things Happen!
Saints of God, your daily prayers for revivals in America is needed than ever! The revival God is asking for is our coming back to our first Love.
We prayed for rain, but we only got the dews. We need the rain of His blessings upon our lives! The State of Texas needs physical rain from heaven! The individual landowners in Texas, the wheat and corn farmers of the Mid-West, and the business owners across the nation need rain! Do you ever ask anyone why the grocery costs so much now a day?
That is the result of the drought eating up our Land.
We, the believers, are empowered by God to stand in the gap, and pray to God to stop the drought! Our prayers
will bring the rain and the wisdom of God we need to do it right, not just in America, but all around the globe!
Revival takes its root from the Latin Word meaning: to live again, to receive again a life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished! Revival is the process of bringing somebody back to life, or full strength!
The Bible calls it the Later Rain
of glory! Indeed, it is an urgent call to repentance
of our sins and turn
from our wicked ways.
It is our obedience
to this call that will bring us to the altar of grace. As soon as we arrive at the altar of His grace, the mercy of God will show up and rain will follow.
God Answered the Prayers of Elijah on Mount Carmel!
In I Kings 18: 36-39, we read about a similar drought that came upon the house of Israel during the reign of King Ahab. Prophet Elijah confronted Israel of worshipping the god of Asherah brought by Jezebel from Northern Israel. Israel apostasy brought the drought upon the Land of Israel.
On Mount Carmel, God demonstrated His faithfulness to Israel by the consuming fire from heaven that burnt the sacrifice of Elijah! What followed the consuming fire was the heavy downpour that forever ended the three and half years of drought!
Would the God of history repeats history in our generation? Would the Holy One of Israel hears our petitions for rain and answers our prayers with fire and abundance of rain? That is why I am writing you this letter. I sincerely
ask you to pray for revivals in America daily!
Hosanna Revivals needs a larger prayer center to invite you and our friends all over the world to come in and pray with us. It is called revivals, a divine visitation
of God upon His people!
Be Glad, O Sons of Zion, and Rejoice in the Lord…
There is no way we can lose out. God wants to renew our minds, stop the drought and bless our Land again! Again, would you rise up today and stand with us by giving generously to our building funds? And would you go to the byways and highways and tell everyone that the Holy One Israel is waiting for them at the altar of His mercy?
And I close with this, a promise
of God to Israel: “ Be glad, O sons of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord, your God; for He has given the early rain for your vindication, He has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before. The threshing floors shall be full of grain; the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten…You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of
the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you".
Joel 2:23-26
