Revival Toronto Night 5 - Jonathan Shttlesworth

Why Every Plan of Satan Has For Canada Will Fail Part 2

1. Opening Atmosphere & Announcement

• God is building His kingdom in Toronto starting September 6th.

• The new church will be strong, especially for youth

• Teenagers will be filled with the Holy Spirit instead of going to clubs

• Marriages, families, and individuals will be transformed

• People will be healed and delivered

• “This is not the devil’s time — this is the time of the Church of Jesus Christ.”

He stresses that this is not a side project but a full commitment, supported by his father, evangelist Tiff Shuttlesworth.

2. Testimony of Church Growth in Pittsburgh

He recounts the launch of their Pittsburgh church in 2022:

• Expected 500 people in 5 years

• Reached 1,000 in the first year

• Easter service had 774 people

• A local church reported them to the city for overcrowding

• The city threatened arrest and padlocking the building

His response: “Anything the devil tells you not to do once, do it 40 times.”

This birthed 40 Days of Glory, daily services that caused explosive growth.

3. The Power of Public Evangelism

He laments that crusade evangelism has been lost in North America.

He cites:

• A leader in the Canadian Assemblies of God saying Canada hasn’t had a major open‑air evangelistic event since the 1970s

• The uniqueness of Christianity: the ability to preach publicly and see the Holy Spirit draw unbelievers

He contrasts this with religions like Scientology, which require controlled environments.

4. Decline of Christianity in the West

He references an article about a pastor in Northern Ireland being convicted for preaching John 3:16 publicly.

He highlights:

• Northern Ireland is now less than 2% Christian

• Meanwhile, nations like Ghana and Nigeria — once unreached — are now Christian strongholds

• Western nations that once sent missionaries are now spiritually declining

His conclusion:

Posting on Facebook won’t fix it — only a return to the Book of Acts will.

5. The Book of Acts Model

He teaches that when believers were filled with the Holy Spirit:

• They spoke in tongues

• A crowd gathered

• Peter preached

• 3,000 were saved in one day (Acts 2)

He corrects a common misconception:

He argues that modern churches lack power because they lack the Holy Spirit.

6. The Danger of Compromised Christianity

He plays a video of a pastor who:

• Doesn’t believe in miracles (olive pants)

• Doesn’t believe Noah’s Ark was real

• Treats Christianity as a moral code

This is a sickness infecting churches in Europe, Canada, and the U.S.

He warns:

• If you remove the cross, the blood, the virgin birth, and the divinity of Jesus, you’re left with nothing but ethics

• “Being good can’t cure cancer. Being good can’t save your soul.”

• Only Jesus and His blood can save and deliver

7. Scripture Teaching — Romans 10

He reads and expounds Romans 10:8–17, emphasizing:

Key Scriptures

• Romans 10:8–10 — The word of faith is near you; salvation requires believing in your heart and openly declaring Jesus as Lord.

• Romans 10:11–13 — Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

• Romans 10:14–17 — People cannot believe unless someone preaches to them.

• “How shall they hear without a preacher?”

• “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”

Main Points

• Christianity requires open declaration, not silent belief

• Many Christians hide their faith out of fear of offending others

• Meanwhile, every wicked ideology is boldly proclaimed

• The church must come out of the closet and preach publicly

• The gospel is good news, not condemnation

8. The Mandate of Jesus — Mark 16

He references Mark 16:14–15:

• Jesus rebuked unbelief and hardness of heart

• Then commanded: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

He humorously adds that even aliens should hear the gospel if they exist.

9. The Need for Boldness — Acts 4

He teaches from Acts 4:23–31:

Key Themes

• Peter and John were arrested for preaching

• The early church did NOT pray for safety

• They prayed for great boldness

• They asked God to stretch out His hand with healing power

• The Holy Spirit shook the place and filled them again

He emphasizes:

• The modern church apologizes for the Holy Spirit

• Pentecost used to be every Sunday, not once a year

• Canada will experience a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit

10. Story of Daisy Osborne & Uganda

• Uganda was closed to the gospel under dictator Idi Amin

• Daisy Osborne walked into the palace without an appointment

• She knelt, prayed in tongues, and the Holy Spirit fell

• Idi Amin wept and opened the nation to the gospel

• This led to massive crusades and the rise of leaders like Robert Kayanja

The point: The Holy Spirit can open nations that governments cannot.

11. Closing Emphasis

• Great boldness

• No apology for the Holy Spirit

• Healing power

• A return to the Book of Acts

• A belief that Canada will be shaken by God before Jesus returns
