Revive Canada 2012 – Crusade Report

Shyju Mathew

"Experience the Word of God, in the power of the Spirit."

October 12, 2012

Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa

Rev. Shyju Mathew returned to Canada for his seventh official visit, and the Lord began a new chapter in the history of Revive Nations [Formerly known as Shyju Mathew Ministries (SMM) ]Canada.

The Lord birthed a new vision in Rev. Shyju’s heart that Canada is positioned as the gateway to the world and that the move of God that sweeps across this nation will spread to all nations.

It required taking a considerable leap of faith to facilitate city-wide crusades across Canada from coast to coast to coast. Praise God for causing Revive Nations to walk on water towards His great destiny for the nations!

The inaugural launch of Revive Canada, hosted by Revive Nations, took place in September 2012 with crusades held in three major cities. The Lord graced all seven Revive gatherings in Canada with His glorious presence; transforming hearts and setting ablaze the flame of revival in the hearts of His children.

Many pastors and leaders from several denominations and non-denominations, as well as believers representing churches from many regions, came together at these meetings, choosing to stand in the gap for their cities, provinces and nation. Over 75 people gave their hearts to Jesus and completed decision cards in September! Testimonies of what the Lord has done continue to be brought to our attention through various channels.

The following is a brief overview of how the power of God has changed lives.

All praise, honour and glory belongs to Our Awesome God alone!

Montreal, Quebec

On September 14 and 15, 2012, Revive Canada was held at Concordia University in Montreal. People of all ages came together from across the city with great expectation. It was a mighty time in the presence of the Lord right from the time of worship and the proclamation of the life-changing Word.

A memorable moment took place on the second evening when the Holy Spirit prompted Rev. Shyju to call forth a representative of each nation in the congregation to the stage.

What a phenomenal sight to see over 35 nations represented on the stage; including Israel! Everyone cried out to God for Canada and each nation that was represented. It reinforced the heart of God for the nations in the hearts of everyone present.

A vast array of healings happened all over the auditorium, from chronic pain, bone and ligament issues, to deafness, blindness and emotional struggles. All completely healed by the power of Jesus!

One lady came limping with the support of a cane, and she suddenly began to move about without any difficulty that she confidently walked out at the end of the meeting without her cane!

Many people also came forward to accept Christ into their hearts!

Toronto, Ontario

On September 20, 21 and 22, 2012, Revive Canada was held at Global Kingdom Ministries in Toronto. The Lord did a tremendous work in the lives of His people as hundreds came believing that God would touch their city. And He did!

When representatives from the nations in the congregation were summoned to the stage, over 46 nations came forward! How glorious it was to sing the national anthem as a prayer unto the Lord: God keep Our land; glorious and free. Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

From the time of amazing worship right to the powerful delivery of the Word, hearts were rekindled to turn back to God.

Even young children, with tears streaming down their faces rushed to the altar to fall on their face before God in response to the Word. A mighty wave of glory sweeped over the congregation and hundreds were slain in the Spirit.

People cried out to God as Rev. Shyju shared various prayer points concerning the city and the nation.

When Rev. Shyju extended an invitation to receive Christ, people of all ages streamed forward to accept Jesus into their hearts.

Rev. Shyju did not even have to lay hands on people to pray for healing as the power of God began to touch His people all over the auditorium.

TorontoAn entire family was delivered from bondage and witchcraft that was causing illness and disturbance at every turn. Everywhere in the venue, bones began to uncurl to the right position; sensation returned after so many decades; sight, breathing and hearing were restored; and much more! Just in one evening alone in Toronto, over 55 healings were recorded! Praise God!

It was amazing to see hundreds lingering longer, well past the end of the service, to bask in the presence of the Lord following a mighty outpouring of His glory.

Ottawa, Ontario

On September 28 and 29, Revive Canada was held at the University of Ottawa in the nation’s capital. The excitement about all that the Lord had done through Revive caused precious ones to travel from Montreal and Toronto and converge in Ottawa, to pray for and witness what the Lord had in store for the nation’s capital.

What an amazing time as Heaven came down!

We received many reports that the Lord was drawing His people to Him. People who were driving their vehicles intending to go somewhere else, found themselves at the venue! University students felt urged to leave their books in the library to be a part of the service! Even people passing by on the streets of Ottawa saw the posters and felt led to the venue; leaving behind their plans to be somewhere else!

Right from the time of worship, we were truly blessed by open heavens. The weight of His presence surrounded the place. As Rev. Shyju asked for the names of the churches represented in the venue and led a time of corporate prayer for every single church, it was clearly evident that God united so many denominations for the awesome purpose of catching and spreading the revival fire! It was a glorious time of seeking His face that the Body of Christ would arise!

As Rev. Shyju ministered the Word, there were several incredible moments where people in the room testified to feeling a tangible shift in the atmosphere. His glory rained down over the auditorium and many people were overwhelmed by the awesome power of God.

One thing is certain; each of the seven crusades was unique and carried great significance for what God has in store in the days and years ahead.

Praise God for this time of unprecedented breakthrough in Canada. He shall have dominion from sea to sea!
