THE next Great Awakening! An email from Joe Sazyc
John Burton
Hey team! Here's a letter from Joe Sazyc… what are you sensing? Reply with comments… the group will see what you send… open a discussion.
If this is THE next great awakening, what must be done? How do we get the entire city church to participate?
Dear Friends of the Sazycs and Next Great Awakening Ministries,
The fires of awakening have unexpectedly broken out! At our annual Fire In February conference, an amazing breakthrough took place. As a result, two of our speakers have cleared their schedules and have come back for a minimum of 21 days of nightly meetings.
I AM PLEADING FOR PRAYER COVER AND SUPPORT! We have touched something powerful. Yes, God is pouring out his Spirit, but we are also confronting the demonic realm unlike any time in my ministry. Teens are being set free of very serious bondages... suicide, cutting, etc... Demonically oppressed individuals literally crawled to the altar for deliverance. Yes we are rejoicing, dancing, celebrating! Heaven has come down! But its not just a party. God is on the march to take down the enemy's hold on precious teens and others. The battle is just beginning, not just for individuals, but for a broken region. We believe we are on the cusp of THE next Great Awakening here in Detroit. We believe Detroit is about to be the greatest testimony of a turnaround in history! Read the testimonies below, compiled by one of the pastors on our team.
We are looking for people to invest in this awakening. It is stretching us beyond our own means. We are at our limits, but a band of pastors has covenanted to see this awakening through! We are calling for reinforcements. Please come. Please PRAY! Those of you who have been financial supporters of our ministry, THANK YOU! Your gifts are bearing fruit! Your CONTINUED HELP and the help of others of you who feel the Lord's direction to also give would go far to encourage us. You may give online to the awakening directly by going to www.thefireplacedetroit.com or to Next Great Awakening Ministries at www.awakeningnet.us/contact. But your prayers are coveted most of all.
Please stay in touch through The Fireplace web site or mine (which is still getting updated) www.awakeningnet.us.
Thank you!
- Joe
**A lot of people have been praying for this type of an outpouring for YEARS…and now that it's here, we have to see the entire city released to dive into it.
A key national leader told the leadership team that we’d live to regret it if we didn’t jump on this rare opportunity to fan a very special revival flame. We must pay the price.
Here’s some amazing comments I’ve received:
· Thanks Brian for your caring about our city. May the fire continue to fall. Many have spent years crying out for this.~Barbara Yoder
· Revival fire just fell in Detroit! Everyone screaming – “I will not turn back!” Strongholds we look you in the face and say “you’re gonna come down!” Fire, tears, shaking, laughter, holy glory!! Kids laid out on the floor shaking and crying! Can’t hardly get out the door!~Brian Simmons
· It looks like revival has broken out. It’s about an 11 hour drive from CT to Detroit about 670 miles or the Best deal is White Plains airport US air flights is $270.00 round trip for anyone who heading down. Not sure about hotels or schedule times yet. It’s going to spread like wild fire.~Joseph
· Still overcome by what I witnessed last night at the Detroit Fireplace meetings as a powerful wind blew through the mtg – many many testimonies.~Brian Simmons
· The glory mist hung like a cloud over the sanctuary!~Joe Sazyc
· Please check this out. It has pics and info about the revival that just broke loose in Detroit! Friends, this is so amazing… You may want to come to Detroit to experience this Revival of His Presence.~Brian Simmons
· I was there and God really messed me up. He said He was turning me around and as I was driving home last night I got turned around 3x. God was confirming His word. Be at these meetings. Cancel your agenda this week so you can meet with God and experience this great Outpouring of His love. It is worth cancelling anything you have going on! I am a witness!~Pam
· Something really broke loose last night. I’m still wrecked by it. There is such a revival hunger in Detroit! Unity is everywhere and the leaders are ready to offer themselves as a sacrifice for revival glory. Really stunned… I’ll keep you posted. Meetings continue all this week and I believe they’ll announce soon the plan to go at least 21 days.~Brian Simmons
· “Tonight was amazing… God is so good… as things were wrapping up I was sitting with a few friends interceding for the youth still being ministered to in front when out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of white light that shot from the floor through the roof. My friend and I sat in awe as we saw tiny white feathers falling in front of us.”~Barb
· OK, We are coming, the CT FIRE Team is hitting the Road for Friday and Saturday night’s service. Pray for a safe trip and everthing gets worked out!!!! Get Ready for the Elijah Fire to hit the House in Jesus Name!!!!~Joseph
· Students were crying out to God late into the evening! None of them left the altars except to pray for one another in the foyer where the power of God was also hitting, kids ministering to one another, getting delivered, set free!~Joe Sazyc

Hey all,
As I was in the meeting last night, I stood back and looked at everything going on. It looked like an amazing meeting full of people hungry for God. But there was something different. I couldn't explain what. I couldn't see anything in the natural that explained what I was sensing. But I just knew that there was something very different about these meetings. Each meeting seems to be intensifying. I believe the something different is hidden in purpose of God. God is getting ready to do things that we could not even try to think up in our imagination. Most certainly, we haven't seen nothing yet.
There is one thing I think we can be sure of, He wants to do a complete overhaul on our hearts, minds, souls and lifestyles, leaving nothing unturned. He wants to bring us to a place where we are completely over ourselves and able to love like He does. Supreme surrender. Deep encounter. That is what I am crying out for.
I love feeling the power of God and the flames of His Presence burning on my head and back. Amazing! Yet, I find myself not satisfied. I am desiring an encounter like I' ve never known, that will go deeper than I knew existed and purify more than I ever thought possible.
I believe He is leading us to an encounter like that. What it will look like, I have no idea. I just want to be ready.
Blessings and see you tonight!
