2017 PROPHETIC WORD ABOUT CHRISTIAN MUSIC FESTIVALS LIKE WOODSTOCK & TOMORROWLAND WHERE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WILL GATHER TO WORSHIP JESUS & AWAKEN A GENERATION….
In March 2017 I was on a plane on my way to Israel and I was talking with God. While I was in prayer the Holy Spirit told me to turn on my TV in the seat. This is rare for me, because if you know me, you know that I almost never watch movies and TV… As I was scrolling through the titles, I saw a movie documenting a new music festival in Europe called “Tomorrowland”… I felt like God told me to watch it…
I watched as hundreds of thousands of people gathered almost from every nation in what seem to be Woodstock on steroids. The music was electronic dance music (EDM) & my heart groaned as i watched what seemed to be a counterfeit worship service…
In this documentary movie young people gathered from almost every nation proudly flying their nations flags. You could tell that they were under a heavy influence of psychedelic and designer drugs. Also there was a very strong spiritual element of the New Age being propagated.
At one point, a huge mystical face popped out of the massive LED screen in 3-D and begin to speak to the multitudes with deceptive New Age ideologies as hundreds of thousands of young people swallowed what was being said “hook line and sinker” & screamed and cheered…
CRUSHED BY INTERCESSION
I began groaning within my spirit and talking to God. My heart was burning with zeal and jealousy for the Lord & for my generation. As a worshiper of the One and Only true and living God, I believe the worship of the nations belongs to a worthy king, Jesus, not to a New Age satanic, demonic, destructive counterfeit…
THE MOVIE DOCUMENTED A LAST DAYS, DEMONIC, COUNTERFEIT WORSHIP MOVEMENT with hundreds of thousands of young people deeply steeped into darkness through hyper sexuality, false spirituality and a drug infused stupor. I could tell they we’re on their way to a future of destruction & death & it broke my heart.
I begin to ask a question & say?
WHERE ARE THESE MASS WORSHIP FESTIVALS FOR GOD???????
I believe this kind of worship belongs to Jesus because he is the prince of life. When the nations worship him, they find life & truth not death. No one is worthy to be worshiped, but him and him alone. He’s the only one who died for our sins and defeated death and forgave us and redeemed us to God… No one else is worthy of worship, Jesus is the true light!…
FAST FORWARD….
I ended up going from Israel to Uganda being led by the Holy Spirit (which is another crazy story for another time). But, It was time for me to go home and rest because I was out on the mission field for a long time… On the day I was to travel back, I caught some kind of stomach bug and I was very sick running a fever. So I was in a super vulnerable situation and was very weak. But, by gods grace I was able to make it on the plane.
I Begin to pray again about the “Tomorrowland” festival film I had seen… my heart was still burdened to see my generation worship Jesus in the masses and be led on a path of life rather than a path of death and destruction…
IN THE AIR GOD SPOKE SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT TO ME
I was so weak, but in my weakness God spoke to me. He told me:
“Joshua, Your desire to see Festivals where the masses will gather and worship me will happen. You will see the beginnings of this with the Awaken The Dawn movement.”
Now at that point I had barely heard about this movement… I had seen their launch video where a guy I didn’t know by the name of David Bradshaw was talking about a crazy idea to put 50 tents on the USA Capitol national mall in DC (one tent for each USA state), and have each tent pray & worship for three days 24 hours a day during the fall feast of Tabernacles…. i’ll be honest with you, tho I liked the idea of worship, at first I thought the idea of 50 tents was really stupid, (sorry David I was ignorant), lol…
However, when God spoke this to me, he had my attention about learning more about this movement…
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS CRAZY….
God had just spoke to me about how the Awaken The Dawn Movement would be the birthing point, the seed, for these Christian music festival movements… The plane lands and I get Internet connection
When I get Internet connection I have a message by a friend of mine named David fritch. He’s a guy that I had met about 10 years before who was the director of the school for the Burn 24/7 movement… In the message he asked me if he Could share a game plan for a ministry called “Awaken The Dawn” and he wanted to see if I was interested in working with them!!! How supernatural!!!!
I was tired, sick, jetlagged, but I responded to his message and said God spoke to me, so the answer is YES, but give me a couple days to recover from my trip.
LOOKING BACK IT WAS SO SUPERNATURAL TO BE SUMMITED INTO THIS MOVEMENT RIGHT AFTER GOD SPOKE TO ME ABOUT IT…
After I recovered I agreed to help with the 2017 Awaken The Dawn gathering on the DC national mall.
THE AWAKEN THE DAWN GATHERING ON THE MALL IN 2017 WAS WILD….
58 tents. All 50 states had a tent with their states people in it praying 3 days 24 hours a day. About 1,600 worship teams & tens of thousands of people filled the DC national mall and evangelist were thrusted out in every direction to preach the gospel. It was the exact 20th anniversary of the promise keepers gathering where 1 million men gathered to pray for the USA on the DC national mall (which I actually attended as a kid!)… During that weekend crime plummeted so much that it even got the police’s attention…
History was made, a national family & new movement was birthed & I was growing in anticipation of the words God had spoke to me…
SO…. WHERE IS THIS ALL HEADING???
As I did more research, Tomorrowland has become one of the most notorious music festivals in the world. They sell 300,000 tickets in 30 minutes when they open the admission to their new festivals online…. & within another 30 minutes there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to get in on a back list… it’s a three day festival that goes night and day. Similar to Awaken The Dawn
I’m not saying every artist that has played at Tomorrowland is evil, nor I am in anyway against electronic dance music (EDM), I have many friends in that genre and I really feel that God is going to raise up a new breed of holy spirit filled EDM artists that will be used as Last days music revivalists to Awaken a lost generation into true & pure worship & spirituality that can only come from a relationship with Christ.
But let’s be honest… The church is lagging behind in the end times worship movement & it is time for us to catch up!
I BELIEVE THE LAST DAYS BATTLE FOR SOULS WILL BE FOUGHT IN THE ARENA OF MUSIC & WORSHIP
The Bible says in the book of Joel there are a multitude of multitudes in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14). The Bible also says in revelations 13 and 14 that the end times battle all comes down to if you will worship God (the Lamb, the truth) or worship Satan (the beast, the lie)…
The battle for the souls of nations is over worship….
JUST RECENTLY- I was just on the DC national mall again with over 30,000 people gathered with Sean Feucht’s #LetUsWorship movement gathering together in unity worshiping God with all their hearts & this movement is building. So, I believe we are taking steps closer and closer to this vision becoming a reality. (how I got involved with Sean’s movement is another crazy story)
But Overall, I don’t believe that any one ministry or movement will own these festivals, but I really believe they are going to happen all over the globe!
AWAKENING WORSHIP FESTIVALS WILL ARISE ALL OVER THE EARTH
👉 I believe we are going to see “Awakening Worship Festival” revivals where hundreds of thousands of people gather for days to worship pray & seek God… The lost will be drawn in…Repentance will happen & there will be mass salvations, miracles, deliverances & baptisms… it’s coming!….
I believe these music festivals will be a part of awakening the nations & bringing in the final harvest of souls before Jesus returns.
But It is time for the church to rise up and lead the way spiritually for this generation & the nations to come to Christ!
We were born for such a time as this!
Are you excited? I’m excited!!!!
Let’s pray it in!!!!!
