Former Muslim Dr. Hormoz Shariat shares how Jesus is moving powerfully in Iran through dreams, visions, miracles, and mass openness to the gospel. From underground churches to millions reached daily through media, this conversation reveals why many are calling Iran the site of the fastest-growing Christian movement in the world—and how biblical prophecy is unfolding in our time.

There is a moment every believer reaches when strength runs out, options disappear, and pressure exposes what’s really inside. Scripture calls this the breaking point—but heaven calls it the doorway to breakthrough.

This message reveals how God uses brokenness to release glory. Drawing from Psalm 51, the threshing floor, the grain of wheat, and the alabaster jar, we see that what feels like collapse is often divine preparation. God is not trying to destroy you—He is breaking the shell that keeps His life hidden.

Breakthrough does not come from preserving the vessel, protecting self-will, or perfecting appearances. It comes when resistance ends, surrender begins, and the treasure within is released. When the breaking is complete, the power of God flows freely, faith shifts from human ability to divine authority, and Christ is revealed through us.

Your breaking point is not the end. It is the place where heaven breaks through.

What if the resistance you’re facing isn’t a warning—but an invitation?The darkness isn’t getting bolder because you’re losing ground, but because heaven is calling you higher. This is a wake-up call to a church done with limits, excuses, and powerless faith. New devils don’t demand fear—they demand new levels of glory, authority, and intimacy with God.

Here’s the replay from today’s interest meeting for Sent College.It’s just 20 minutes—but don’t underestimate it. This could be a game changer.

Sent College exists because the Church doesn’t need more information.It needs depth.It needs power.It needs a clear sense of mission.

At Sent College, we go deep into the Word of God—not as an academic exercise, but to form believers who can rightly handle Scripture, think biblically, and live from a true Kingdom worldview.

And we refuse to separate theology from the power of the Holy Spirit.Truth without power is incomplete.Power without truth is unstable.

At Sent College, they belong together.

This training is intentionally built around:

* Biblical and theological depth

* Identity and union with Christ

* Life in the Spirit and the operation of spiritual gifts

* The fivefold ministry (APEST) functioning for the equipping of the saints

* Mission, discipleship, and the outworking of the Great Commission

Sent College is not about producing spectators or professional Christians. It’s about forming people who are rooted in truth, filled with the Spirit, and sent on mission—into church, marketplace, and every sphere of society.

If you’re hungry to grow deeper in the Word, walk in the Spirit, and live as someone truly sent by God, this session will give you a clear picture of what Sent College is all about.

Welcome to the Kingdom Reformation Leaders Community—a gathering for those who are hungry for more of Jesus and want to connect with others who share the same heart and passion.

In this powerful session, hosted by Glenn Bleakney of Awake Nations, we are honored to welcome Evangelist Bill Prankard live from Ottawa, Canada.

Bill Prankard has spent over 60 years in full-time ministry and 53 years traveling as a healing evangelist across Canada and around the world. He and his wife Gwen have witnessed extraordinary moves of God—from the charismatic renewal to the Toronto Blessing, where Bill preached over 50% of the time during the first two years of that outpouring. Their ministry, Timothy Generation, has brought the gospel to some of the most remote places on earth, including the Inuit and Indigenous peoples of the Canadian Arctic and Russia.

In this session, Bill takes us back to 1972 when God gave him a vision of Canada in revival. He saw it clearly—stadiums filled with young adults, a thousand young people on the streets of Ottawa, the sick being healed, and captives being set free. From that day forward, Bill began declaring that Canada shall be saved. For over five decades, he has held onto that vision despite countless Christian leaders trying to explain why it could never happen. Bill shares with conviction that when you have seen something from God, nobody can talk you out of it. When you’ve seen it, you can believe for it.

Bill reminds us that we are living in a unique moment in history. We have the privilege of writing the last chapters of the Book of Acts. No government and no human institution will determine the future of our nations—God will. And God has promised that before the end, there will be the greatest revival the world has ever seen. Bill believes we are about to witness something that will dwarf Azusa Street, the Welsh Revival, and even the early church. He points to Joel chapter 2, where God declares that He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. When God says “I shall” and “I will,” nothing can stop it. Committees can debate. People can vote. Skeptics can criticize. But God’s purposes will stand.

This session includes a powerful teaching on the story of Elisha receiving a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. Bill explores why Elisha was the only one among all the sons of the prophets to receive this impartation. At every stop along the journey—Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho—there were groups of prophets who knew something significant was about to happen. They all sensed that God was going to take Elijah. But they were content to stay where they were. They even pressured Elisha to stay with them. Elisha refused. He declared that as long as God was alive and he was alive, he would not stop pursuing. Bill draws the parallel to today: there are many in the body of Christ who sense that God is about to move, but they are satisfied to remain on the sidelines. The key to receiving what God has is relentless pursuit. You cannot possess what you do not pursue.

Bill also shares the story of Peter walking on water. While many focus on the fact that Peter sank, Bill points out the obvious: Peter walked on water. He got out of the boat when no one else would. And when he went down, he went down right beside Jesus. Jesus didn’t have to swim across the sea to rescue him—He simply reached out and touched him. Bill suggests that before Peter ever stepped out of the boat, there were voices telling him he was crazy, that it couldn’t be done. This is what happens whenever someone moves toward the supernatural. Religious people will pressure you to stay safe, to stay in the boat, to not rock anything. But you cannot get out of the boat without rocking the boat.

The session includes the remarkable testimony of how Bill was first called into ministry. He did not grow up in Pentecostal circles and originally planned to become a funeral director. When God clearly called him to preach, Bill said no. He looked at the successful ministers around him—people who could sing, play instruments, speak eloquently—and felt he had nothing to offer. He describes himself as someone who got tongue-tied in groups and had no obvious talents for ministry. But God does not stop speaking when we say no. Eventually, Bill surrendered at an altar and told God that all he had was himself. That was enough. What Bill learned is that God rarely calls people to do things they already know how to do. If He did, they would take the credit. Instead, God calls us to the impossible so that when it happens, He receives the glory. The Holy Spirit equips us for everything He calls us to do—but only after we say yes.

Bill recounts the life-changing experience of attending a Kathryn Kuhlman service in Pittsburgh in 1972. He admits he went with a critical spirit, thinking he already had everything figured out. But what he witnessed transformed him. In Kathryn Kuhlman, he saw someone who truly knew the Holy Spirit—not as a doctrine or a theological concept, but as her closest friend. The way she spoke about Him was the way someone speaks about a person they love deeply. In that moment, Bill made a decision that became the most important commitment of his life outside of salvation: “Holy Spirit, I don’t know You, but I want to know You. I will give the rest of my life pursuing You.” On the bus ride home, people began to be healed. Revival broke out in the small town where Bill was pastoring—so many people came to the miracle services that attendance exceeded the town’s entire population.

Bill emphasizes the distinction between being baptized in the Holy Spirit and being baptized with fire. John the Baptist prophesied that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Bill believes the church has focused on the Spirit but neglected the fire. The fire of God is what transforms timid believers into world-changers. The disciples entered the upper room confused, discouraged, and afraid. They came out like a spiritual army. The same Peter who denied knowing Jesus stood up and preached, and three thousand were saved in a single day. What God is preparing to do in this hour will make that look like a small beginning.

Bill shares the incredible story of organizing the Great Canadian Prayer Meeting in the 1970s. When he heard that Quebec was planning a referendum to separate from Canada, he knew he had to do something. He rented the largest auditorium in Ottawa—a venue seating 10,000 people—for a national prayer gathering. Pastor after pastor came to him urging him to cancel, warning that it would be embarrassing when hardly anyone showed up. But then something unexpected happened: the Prime Minister’s office called. Pierre Trudeau was concerned that so many people would attend the prayer meeting that it would cause traffic jams during the Canada Day parade. The government asked Bill to move the meeting to the afternoon and offered to put it on the official national schedule. Bill realized that the Prime Minister had more faith for the prayer meeting than the Christian leaders did. Nearly 9,000 people showed up that day. They prayed for Canada, and Quebec did not separate.

Bill speaks prophetically over everyone listening, declaring that this is a year of restoration. What the enemy has stolen from families, churches, health, and communities is coming back. God is a God of restoration. He promises to restore the years that the locusts have eaten. Bill shares about the transition in his own ministry—how he and Gwen have passed the baton to Jacob Walda, a young man who received the exact same vision of Canadian revival that Bill received decades earlier. They met five years ago when Jacob sat in the front row laughing as Bill shared the vision, because God had shown Jacob the same thing. This is how God works—connecting generations around shared vision and purpose.

At 81 years old, Bill shares that he is more hungry for God than he has ever been. When someone recently suggested he had retired, his associate Jaco…

In this short video, Pastor Bill Prankard shares a powerful and moving story of how revival unexpectedly broke out on a bus ride returning from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Ontario, Canada.

After attending a Kathryn Kuhlman service, Bill had a profound encounter with the power of the Holy Spirit—and from that moment on, miracles began breaking out in his church and ministry. What followed marked the beginning of a sustained move of God that continues to impact nations.

This is a rare opportunity to sit under the ministry of a man who has walked in a revival anointing for more than five decades—an evening designed for fresh impartation of the Holy Spirit for your life, leadership, and calling.

Pastor Bill is the Founder and President of the Bill Prankard Evangelistic Association and has carried an unrelenting vision for revival across the nations.

His life was radically transformed in 1972 during a Kathryn Kuhlman service, where he encountered the Holy Spirit in a profound and life-altering way. From that moment, his ministry expanded globally, marked by healings, miracles, and the tangible power of God.

During this meeting, Pastor Bill will be teaching on the power of the Holy Spirit, miracles, and supernatural ministry—with strategic equipping for both church and marketplace leaders. He will also be praying for an impartation of miracles, the same grace he received through Kathryn Kuhlman’s ministry.

Headlines say 15,000 churches in the U.S. are closing — and it sounds like a crisis.But what if it’s not decline… what if it’s pruning?

In this video, we unpack a provocative perspective from Glenn Bleakney that reframes church closures not as the death of Christianity, but as a necessary reset. Drawing from research, Scripture, and the practices of the early church, we explore why institutional models are fading, what’s actually growing on the “green edge” of the Church, and how leaders can respond with faith instead of fear.

This is a conversation about discipleship over programs, fruitfulness over attendance, and courage over nostalgia.

The question isn’t whether change is happening.The question is: will we build what’s next?
