Mario Murillo: Give Us Boldness to Call Out Threats of Sin (Acts 4:29)
Mario speaks at Radiant Church in Colorado Springs, CO, on July 17, 2023. Quote: Acts 4:29 says, “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word.” The reason we need miracles is so we can be bold. We need to know the threat, we need to own the cry, and we need to act. I was told I couldn’t have a crusade because of the lockdown. I prayed and Jesus said, "Have the crusade!" I said, “I'm going to obey God rather than man.”

"Now, Lord, look on their threats." [Acts 4:29]
Everybody raise your hand, repeat this verse.
You'll see it on the screen and say it after me.
"Now, Lord, look on their threats and grant to your servants.
that with all boldness they may speak your Word.
By stretching out. Your hand to heal.
And that signs and wonders may be done
through the name of your holy servant, Jesus."
I want an army noise,
I want a warrior noise in the name of Jesus.
The first thing that Jesus told me to tell you is this.
Understand and do not deny the threat.
I want you to repeat that with me.
Say, understand, and do not deny the threat.
I'm going to look at you, pastor, I love you - I love you,
but I'm looking at you and I'm going to tell you something.
You are living in an unsustainable state of denial
if you believe that you don't have a place in this war.
You're running out of time.
You're running out of time to save your nation's freedom.
You're running out of time.
You're saying, "I don't want to lose my church."
So today, you know, I liken it to one day when
I was dealing with an educator who was defending the act
of promoting kids, even when they flunk their classes.
They called it social promotion.
And they said, we don't want
their self-confidence to be broken.
And I looked at them and I said, that's great.
So after they're out of your control and they're out
in the real world and they can't get a job and they're poor
and they're homeless, what about their self-confidence then?
And so, you save your church,
so you're able to protect your sheep from a temporary state.
"and you still don't understand the threat."
This is what I love about Peter.
He said, Lord, look on the threat.
Something just happened.
But if we want to get rid of abortion,
revival will make a young woman want to keep her baby.
I'm going to try this side over here.
Revival will make a woman want to keep her baby.
So we need revival.
We need revival, we need an awakening.
I feel so strongly the power of God on my body right now
that I feel like I'm listening to the moment
where the church is about to make a discovery
of how persecution is bringing us together.
And we're finding out that where we agree
is so much more important than where we disagree.
And we're going to have a revelation
of the value of the other gifts.
The answer is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit
on the streets of America.
An outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The second thing we need is the cry.
I'm borrowing this from my brother Lou. [Engle]
We need the threat, to know the threat.
And the Lord said here three things.
Number one, they need to know the threat.
Number two, they need to know the cry.
I don't trust a minister who can't cry out to God.
I don't trust a Christian that can't cry out to God.
I look at someone that is not crying out to God
and I wonder, do you live in the same planet I do?
Do you see what's going on?
So he cried out and he asked for a specific weapon.
He said, "give us boldness."
Give us boldness.
He said, the reason we need miracles
is so that we will be bold.
I'm going to look at you right now.
The reason we need miracles is so we can be bold.
Do you know why our celebrity evangelists,
our celebrity ministers are not calling out sin?
It's because they don't believe
that they have the moral authority to do it.
They believe that the depth of their power is so limited,
they don't have the right to ask you
to leave your lifestyle.
But because of moral authority, Peter could tell them
on the day of Pentecost that they were corrupt.
Moral authority.
After the quadriplegic got up and walked
in front of the beautiful temple, the gate, [Acts 3]
he stood in front of the Sanhedrin
and accused them of murder
because he had the moral authority of the miracles.
I believe the kind
of preaching that we need is similar to what Finney did.
It is similar to what we used to have,
ministers that had holiness that was so real that you felt it.
Boldness with signs and wonders.
We need to know the threat,
we need to own the cry, and we need to act.
