Called to Awaken a Generation

Vision

My generation awakened to the victory of personally knowing Christ.

Mission

Reaching people through crusade evangelism and revival gatherings where life changing encounters with God take place as the gospel is delivered in word and power.

Purpose

To awaken this generation to the reality of Christ's love, power, and victory.

Awakened to Victory

Victoria's Testimony

Victoria was sixteen when she reached the lowest point of her life. After years of battling insecurity and depression, she developed an eating disorder that seemed impossible to escape. In 2022, however, she watched one Youtube video from Revival Today that forever changed her life. Victoria finally discovered that God desired for her to live an abundant life. She was awakened to the freedom and victory found in Christ—and now it is her deepest desire to make her Savior, Jesus Christ, known to the world.

Joshua's Testimony

Joshua was very young when he gave his heart to the Lord, but his upbringing was far from easy. From living in a homeless shelter and experiencing his parents' separation to facing seizures and other attacks on his body, Joshua endured many difficulties. Yet, he encountered the love of the Father and experienced God's healing power in his life. God faithfully carried him through every situation, healing him and giving him an undeniable joy and passion for living his life for Him. Now, he longs to make the same Gospel that transformed and healed his life known to others.

The Gospel in Word and Power

The Call to Canada

Joshua and Victoria Herrera have lost any interest in staying comfortable in a powerless religion. They know "it is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes (Romans 1:16)." There is POWER in the gospel that must not go unnoticed! The Lord gave them a burden for the nation of Canada, stating "faith is weak in Canada, but God is raising up Holy Ghost preachers." With threats of banning public prayer and marking scriptures as "hateful," they believe there is truly no better time for an Awakening than now. Canadians are tired of dead religion; they are hungry for a real relationship with the living God!

Crusades

Beginning in Canada, Awakening Victory holds Gospel crusades—public events designed to share the Good News and win a lost generation to Jesus Christ. This ministry actively endeavors to hold mass Gospel crusades where the power of God can be demonstrated to bring men and women of all ages and backgrounds into a relationship with Christ. We have witnessed a defeated humanity that longs to be healed and delivered and have dedicated our time and resources to seeing people live victoriously through the saving power of Jesus Christ.

Praying for people at a revival gathering

Revival Gatherings

We seek not only to witness to those outside the church but also to recognize that many believers live defeated lives despite attending church services regularly. We are burdened to see believers revived by the power of the Holy Spirit and understand their position in Christ. Through the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, Awakening Victory will emphasize the victory found in knowing Jesus Christ as one's personal Lord and Savior.

What We Stand On

Scripture

We believe the scriptures, both Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct that it is supreme and the final authority.

II Timothy 3:15-17; I Thessalonians 2:13; II Peter 1:21

One God

We believe there is the one true God externally self-existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I John 5:7; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fully God, fully man, He lived a sinless life and our redemption was completed through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Dying for the sins of the entire world, He was raised from the dead and ascended to Heaven, where He sits with God the Father and intercedes for us.

I Timothy 3:16; Romans 3:25-26

Evangelism

We believe that evangelism is a divine command and a sacred responsibility of every believer. Jesus calls us to share the Gospel with all people and make disciples of all nations. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we proclaim salvation through Christ with urgency, love, and boldness, fulfilling the Great Commission until all have heard.

Mark 16:15-18; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8

Salvation

We believe man was created good but, by voluntary transgression, sin and death (both physical and spiritual) came into the world and passed upon all men. We affirm that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We believe that humanity's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. There is no other name given under heaven whereby people can be saved. Salvation, simply put, comes through turning to God in repentance and faith in Christ's finished work on the cross. By God's grace through faith, we are made right with Him and receive the promise of eternal life as His children.

Romans 10:13-15; Hebrews 9:22; Jude 24-25

Sanctification

We believe sanctification is an act of separation from sin and evil, and a total dedication unto God. The Scriptures teach a life of "holiness without which no man shall see the Lord." By the word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to obey the command: "Be ye holy, for I am holy."

Ephesians 5:25-27; Romans 12:1-2; I Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 13:12

Baptism of the Holy Ghost

We believe the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire is a divine empowerment for believers, as promised by Jesus Christ and first demonstrated on the Day of Pentecost. It is distinct from and follows salvation, equipping believers with power for service, boldness in witnessing, and a deeper spiritual life. The initial physical evidence of this baptism is speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. This gift is available to all believers who earnestly seek it and is a vital part of the believer's walk with God, enabling a life led by the Spirit and filled with His presence.

Acts 2:4, 10:46, 19:6; Ephesians 4:11; I Corinthians 12:8-11; Galatians 5:22-23

Divine Healing

We believe that divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from all sickness and physical illness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

I Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 53:4-5

Gifts of the Holy Spirit

We believe in, affirm, and operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit detailed in 1 Corinthians 12. This ministry believes that the gifts of the Spirit are available today to be used for the advancement of the Gospel. This ministry likewise holds that we serve a miracle-working God and that signs and wonders still follow the preaching of the Gospel.

Mark 16:20; Acts 2:33, 4:16, 13:52; Romans 15:19; I Corinthians 12:1-11; I Thessalonians 1:5; Hebrews 2:3-4

Soon Return of Jesus Christ

We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ which includes the Rapture of the Church, which shall occur prior to the Great Tribulation. The Rapture is the imminent Blessed Hope of believers. The soon return of Christ adds urgency to our evangelistic effort which is why we labor so hard to evangelize others, knowing that time is extremely short.

I Thessalonians 5:9; Revelation 3:10

The Church

We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, God's dwelling place through the Spirit, established to fulfill His great commission. Every Spirit-born believer is an important part of the heavenly Church whose names are recorded in heaven.

Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 2:22; Hebrews 12:23

Benefits of Redemption

We believe Christ redeemed all those who put their faith in Him from the curse of the Law and the curse of sin. As such, we believe it is the will of God for believers to live whole, abundant lives. It is the right of every believer to seek the full benefits of Christ's redemptive work in the spiritual, mental and emotional, physical, and financial realms.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14; II Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 3:13-14; Philippians 4:19; II Timothy 1:7

Eternity and Final Judgement

We believe there will be a final judgment where the wicked will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life will be assigned to everlasting punishment in the Lake of Fire which the Bible calls the second death. God will afterward create a new heaven and a new earth where everybody who remains will be right with God and dwell with Him for eternity.

Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; II Peter 3:13; Revelation 20:11-15
