Modesto: The Vengeance of Our Lord

“God told me, ‘Mario, I want you to go to Highway 99 to pay the devil back for what he has done.’”

Posted on

Apparently, California is not what it seems. By actual count, there were 2,000 people at the tent crusade on a Thursday Night. We had to start the worship at 5:45 p.m., because the tent was full—and because the people had to worship God, or the very rocks would cry out.

Every child of God and every patriot who loves America needs this news. The State that prides itself on being further left than Karl Marx. The State that boasts of uber-wokeness and total domination of the people, is starting to look like a modern Goliath facing a new David.

Tonight did not just happen in a vacuum. The day before this, Frank Saldana and his team led 500 warriors—think of that 500! They took to the mean streets of Modesto and started witnessing. They won souls all over town. But they did not leave it there. They forced the issue of miracles. They laid hands on the sick and God healed people all over the city!

Anticipation is a funny word. It is the only one that I can find which can describe Thursday afternoon in Modesto. Anticipation that something not of this world was going to happen that night, hung over the town.

It would be a full evening. I was instructed by the Lord to preach two entire sermons that night. This, to a culture that can barely handle one! The first one was a soul-winning sermon entitled, Progressive Suicide.  The second was entitled, The Vengeance of our God.

Seizing Isaiah 61 and 2 Timothy 3, I told the many lost souls in the tent, that, “You are literally killing yourself by resisting Jesus!” I told them that their condition was foretold in the Bible. A day when men would destroy their own emotions and create fierce demon-possessed times. I told them that evil would dominate and create unnatural feelings that could not be controlled. “You are committing progressive suicide!”

2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

Then I quoted Isaiah 53:5, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.”

Then I told them what Jesus did on the cross to remove the curse of these times and to save them from judgment.  This was all it took to flood the front of the tent with addicts, and to cause the homeless, gang members, and every-day hurting people to surrender to Jesus.

The next sermon, The Vengeance of our God, was designed by the Lord to enflame revival in the entire Central Valley. God was enraged at the villains who ravaged the cities along Highway 99. In 2010, according to statistics, 5 of the top ten worst places to live in America were along this highway.

In Luke 13:15-16, a woman was loosed from eighteen years of being bent over by the devil. Jesus not only healed her, out of love but also out of vengeance! “The Lord then answered (the ruler of the synagogue) and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? So, ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bondage on the Sabbath?”

Then I quoted Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me
to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.”

I told the people, “This tent crusade is the beginning of payback.” I said, “God told me, ‘Mario, I want you to go to Highway 99 to pay the devil back for what he has done.’”

But the devil is not the only one to pay.

Politicians will pay for stealing water from the farmers. Throwing homeowners into foreclosure. Writing prescriptions that created addicts. Throwing single mothers into a cold, bureaucratic system. Teaching children to hate America. God will judge the gang-lords from L.A. and Mexico who came to this valley and destroyed whole neighborhoods. Sacramento will pay for locking down churches.

God is going to open their eyes. He is going to show them Who loves them, and He will restore families. God is going to pull out hate, fear, and addiction. To loose the people of the Central Valley, the way He loosed that daughter of Abraham!

This must have been enough for the Holy Spirit because a blanket of healing power fell on 2,000 people. At this hour, we still have no idea of how many people were healed!

We do know that God picked people out of the crowd and, with surgical accuracy, gave urgent details of their conditions so that they would receive instantaneous healings. This happened so often that it shattered unbelief all over the room.

There was a precious woman who, like so many others this night, found out she could walk―and the look of joy and humility was unforgettable. Many conditions were healed en masse. I do not know of any illness that was left out! One woman, with tears of joy running down her face, was set free from several conditions that had caused her excruciating pain for fifteen years!

It is impossible for one tent to hold this much joy. The joy of lost souls busting out of Satanic prisons. The joy of pastors realizing that a golden era of miracles and revival will live on in their region. The joy of so many sick people finally, finally free of agonizing pain. Indeed, Heaven is taking vengeance on the devil and his minions in Modesto!

Acts 8:8, “And there was great rejoicing in that city!”
