Williams Jr., community members, healing testimonies Duration: Full day community event with ministry, testimonies, and supernatural encounters

Event Overview

The September 13, 2025 City Park Party represented a significant documentation opportunity for authentic revival manifestations in a community setting. Hosted by Encounter Church under Apostle Delmar Coward Jr., the event combined community outreach with supernatural ministry, providing free food, supplies, and spiritual ministry to the Liberty, Texas community.

Opening Documentation and Preparation

Gary Sheng opened the day with innovative documentation using Meta Ray-Ban glasses, allowing for natural, unobtrusive recording of the events. His commentary revealed the strategic importance of this technology for authentic revival documentation:

"I kind of love the idea of standing in a mirror, by the way, and doing like, almost like the equivalent of like a selfie video, except the recording is this way and there's not like this weird phone in front of you."

The day began with Gary joining Brenda and Simba Gentry, who had become his primary ministry partners and guides into the authentic revival movement centered around Encounter Church.

Theological Education and Revival Study

Lester Sumrall Teaching Integration

The day included deep study of Lester Sumrall's teachings on faith, with the group listening to his foundational teaching: "Faith is normal, natural, instinctive, and God said that every person has a measure of faith. Faith is an act. Faith is not just an idea, an emotion or an impulse. Faith is an intelligent decision which commands God's power to act on men's behalf."

Simba Gentry's reflection demonstrated the practical application of these teachings:

"To be like Smith Wigglesworth. And Lester stick with the Bible, not politics. And gossiping. Rumors don't mean nothing."

Spiritual Maturity and Focus

The conversation revealed a mature understanding of spiritual priorities over political distractions:

Gary: "So you've like fully just stopped caring about politics, right?"

Simba: "It comes with age also. I think once you get closer with God, you realize, you know, the Bible's not about politics, not about religion. All that other stuff is really demonic distractions."

This perspective demonstrated the spiritual maturity that accompanies authentic revival - a focus on eternal rather than temporal concerns.

Community Outreach and Unity

The City Park Party demonstrated the power of authentic Christian community to bring together diverse groups in unity. Gary observed:

"It's rare to have any event like these days that bring lots of different kinds of people together. Like a local, trusted church is very important in this divisive time."

The event featured:

  • Free food distribution
  • Children's activities including a train
  • Live worship and ministry
  • Community fellowship across racial and economic lines
  • Supernatural healing ministry

Apostolic Ministry and Healing Demonstrations

Public Altar Call and Salvation

Apostle Delmar delivered a powerful message on God's love and salvation, culminating in a public altar call:

"God is the reason that we here today is because of that love. The reason that we're alive today is because that love. See God don't kill devil coming and to destroy. But God says have."

His teaching emphasized God's character:

"God's personality is not God. Do is not, that's not love. The truth of matter is God is love, everything God is. Can't get mad at you because he loves you too much."

Recognition of Gary's Calling

During the altar call, Apostle made a significant prophetic recognition of Gary's heritage and calling:

"Come from China. Y'all just to be here. Good to see you. I see China in the house. I see Africa in the house. People come from everywhere, y'all, because everybody want the real thing."

This recognition connected Gary's family heritage to the global nature of the current revival movement.

Healing Testimonies and Documentation

Mary's Dramatic Brain Healing Testimony

Mary provided one of the most detailed healing testimonies, describing her condition and supernatural healing:

On her condition:

"For two years, I would say, but last year was the worst, and I had a problem that was not inside my brain, but the outside of my brain and my scalp was real loose on my head. All of this, and this was really swollen."

On the pain:

"It felt like, like pain. Somebody was beating me in the head or pulling out my eyes stabbing, stabbing, um, like or someone of my head on fire."

On the healing (December 6, 2024):

"When I went there, uh, he prayed for me. Twice. Twice in the same time, and the dwelling went away immediately. My head was so big, my head would get so big."

On her transformation:

"I wouldn't have never been able to do this before. Too much pain. Too much sick. You feel good right now? Oh, I feel wow."

Sharon Jenkins' Triple Cancer Healing

Sharon Jenkins provided detailed testimony of healing from three types of cancer:

On her diagnosis:

"I found out, uh, August of 22 that I found out I had cancer. So I came to the pastor and I told him, I said. Uh, pastor, the doctor said that I have cancer. He said, you are right. The doctor said that. He said, well, we're gonna get rid of that cancer."

On her critical condition:

"They had told me that I was five units of blood in my body. I was, they told me I was gonna die and have a heart attack if I didn't get [transfusions]."

On the multiple cancers:

"I had leukemia and multi myeloma. That's a blood and a bone cancer. And uh... he told me, he said, you healed in the name of Jesus with three cancers. Did you know I had three camps and I thought I had two?"

On her complete healing (November 19, 2023):

"The doctors came in November 19th and said, Ms. Jenkins, you healed. They said, you cancer free."

On medical response:

"Every time I go to him, I go once a month still. And they said you was, uh, they wasn't say I was lucky. They said, we don't know what to say about you. They said You was a sick lady."

Live Healing Demonstrations

Wheelchair Healing

During the event, Apostle prayed for a woman in a wheelchair suffering from arthritis:

"I just find spirit of arthritis, arthritis, the name of Jesus Christ. You knee to the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus. Get, go. I, Stanley. I lose power. I lose strength right now."

The woman was able to stand and walk, demonstrating immediate supernatural healing:

"Any pain in your body? Where did they go? Hallelujah."

Gary's Eye Healing

Apostle prayed for Gary's vision, resulting in immediate improvement:

"Father in the name of Jesus said, so, father, you said to the blind man to go... I see in the name of Jesus, father God, I break every, every spirit that causes blindness or deafness."

Gary's immediate response and testing revealed significant improvement:

"You gonna close your eyes? That's sharp. Yeah. This is it."

Gary's Vision Healing Verification

Following the healing prayer, Gary conducted extensive testing of his improved vision, documenting his ability to read signs and text from distances that were previously impossible:

"Okay, so I'm pretty shocked. So it's not like I can see like super human distance, but I am, the blurriness has basically gone, like, I can, I can struggle to make out tiny fonts from far away, but. My like ability to kind of experience reality and I think just to be able to drive and see normal signs without feeling like I'm an impaired person."

He provided detailed documentation of reading various signs, phone numbers, and text from significant distances, concluding:

"Main entry visitor parking. Student drop off. So I need to like, also, I'm also recognizing these are muscles that you want to exercise, but like my vision is just so much clearer and I was like noticing that I could see people's faces a lot more easily."

Historical Revival Witness Testimony

Jonathan's Azusa Street Connection

Jonathan provided crucial testimony connecting current revival to historical Azusa Street Revival through his witness of documented miracles:

On the leg healing miracle:

"This kid, man, he was, he had a cast on and like, he got up, he started jumping up and down because God healed that, that quick break, that break had happened and it was like, get, get this cast off."

On medical verification:

"He was literally asking the EMTs if they would cut the cast off of him 'cause he was healed. And they go, 'no, we can't do that. We're not doctors.' You know, you have to have it looked at by a doctor and stuff."

On hospital confirmation:

"They took him and they x-rayed everything just to get proof. Just to get proof."

This testimony provided crucial verification of the supernatural power operating through Apostle's ministry and connected current manifestations to historical revival movements.

College Campus Ministry Vision

Gary's Calling and Strategy

Gary, recently baptized in the Holy Spirit by Apostle, shared his burden for college campus evangelism:

On receiving the Holy Spirit:

"I met him last week. Got the Holy Spirit from him. That was the craziest feeling."

On campus strategy:

"College campuses are interesting because everyone has cell phones. Everyone's posting on their social media. The ability for something to catch fire on social media is so different on college campuses."

On spiritual warfare protection:

"Wednesday night in my house. I had a guy kid come in about 20 that came in to beat me up... when he shook my hand. I said, the Lord Spirit put it on me. I said, 'God is great.' And everything changed. I got to minister to him for the next hour."

Encounter with Bishop Clarence R. Williams Jr.

Providential Meeting

The most significant encounter of the day was the unplanned meeting with Bishop Clarence R. Williams Jr., Brenda and Simba's former pastor from Kansas:

Gary's recognition:

"I was looking up at the wrong Clarence. 'cause I was thinking about, you know, so when the documentary came out [Black Godfather], do you know who was in the documentary singing Clarence Avon's Praises, um, Diddy. Wow. Tamala. Wow. Bill Clinton, Obama, wow. A bunch of other people that do ous stuff, right?"

Historical and Spiritual Insights

On Government vs. God Dependency

Bishop Williams provided crucial historical perspective on the shift from God-dependence to government-dependence in the African American community:

"The more that we have, and that's what we gotta go back to. I mean, I truly believe there's a wealth transfer coming, but not for us. Just holons for it... But the kingdom, it can make a kingdom."

On historical self-sufficiency:

"We had, God, we didn't depend on the government. That's one of the things I remember when they stopped bringing out the welfare food and everything, so our family was selling did not qualify, but it was like a discrimination. And my mom said, well, they wouldn't give. My dad said, I don't need it. He said, the Lord take it. He said, the Lord will make a way somehow."

On Spiritual Authority and Devil's Weakness

Bishop provided profound theological insight about Satan's diminished power since Calvary:

"The devil is not the same devil he used to be. When he met Jesus, he's a different devil. He's not as strong as he used to be... Calvary was not just to save our souls. Calvary was to give us our authority back."

On Coming Revival

Bishop prophesied about the magnitude of coming revival:

"This great revival movement is going to require people to see God in a way they never did, just like when Jesus came... There's gonna be a spirit of repentance that moves... The church has not come into our fullness, but she's coming into our fullness because she's awakening to righteousness."

On global harvest:

"You're talking about not millions of souls. Billions. You're talking about billions or so global... The Holy Spirit is gonna take over social media in such a way. That's how so many are going to be reached global."

Prophetic Recognition of Gary's Calling

Bishop provided significant prophetic insight about Gary's unique calling:

"You have an appointment. You are chosen. Someone from the industry with no affiliation to church documenting revivals - people really want to know why."

He connected Gary's calling to his generational heritage:

"Your great-grandfather was a pastor in China... Both my grandfathers were prisoners or slaves by, by the C CCP because of be one. One of them owned land so that they were evil 'cause they owned land."

Divine Recompense vs. Government Reparations

Bishop made a powerful distinction between divine recompense and government reparations:

"We don't need the government to do reparations. God will do recompense."

He explained the historical pattern:

"All sins, if you repent and turn away, all sins will be forgiven... We are not better off than what we used to be. We're not better off. We were better off when we started... We had nothing and but God, we had but him."

Prophetic Word Over Gary

Bishop delivered a significant prophetic word over Gary's ministry:

"You would touch those that cannot be touched in the tech world and miracles because you seek them, you hunger miracle signs and will follow over a new ministry I give you. Not as the world, not as the traditional ministry, but a new ministry to go out into, places to touch and to reach those that cannot be rich. I'm sending you with power and anointing. I'm sending you there and I'll demonstrate myself to you, said the Lord doors will be open, has never been opened before. For the glory shall fall. And they will know that I'm God from all miracles, all places, all races that you. I will impact their lives. I'm just beginning this new ministry."

Healing Prayer and Spiritual Warfare

Brenda's Teaching on Healing vs. Miracle

Brenda provided important theological distinction between healing and miracles:

"There's a difference between a miracle and a healing... Because it didn't happen instantly, it's a healing because of healing means... um, uh, I guess healing over time. A miracle means healing absent of time... So the healing is over time, the miracle is interested. Absent of time."

Prayer for Gary's Continued Healing

A comprehensive healing prayer was offered for Gary's eyes:

"Heavenly Father, I thank you for the healing touch that you are placed it on my eye. I stand in faith upon your word, believing that your promises are true and complete... By faith I receive this feeling and confess that my eyes are fearfully and wonderfully made. Design for your glory just as you promised where I will restore, help you in the means I will heal."

Property Investment and Revival Economics

Bishop's Historical Success Pattern

Bishop shared how Holy Spirit guidance led to supernatural provision in ministry:

On land acquisition:

"I said, I need some land, because he had land for sale for $11,000 an acre. And so he ended up said, lemme get back with you. I said, sell me five. Acres for 55,000. She said, lemme get what back with you... He called me the next day and he said, pastor William, we don't want to sell you five for 55. We'll sell you seven acres for 56."

On supernatural provision:

"The first. Which starts selling bonds. So I had a million dollars in the bank and had my program. So we went and broke ground and built the building."

This pattern demonstrated how authentic revival creates supernatural provision for kingdom advancement.

Regional Revival Recognition

Liberty County Growth

The conversation revealed Liberty County as one of the fastest-growing counties in America, connecting natural growth to spiritual revival:

"Liberty County. One 19... the population is 20, was 90... CommonWell County is new where we wanted to move to, but it's growing so fast."

Texas and Florida Revival Centers

Bishop identified the primary locations for coming revival in America:

"In America. We gonna be Texas or Florida... It's gonna be either Texas, Florida, the next one. It's not just going to, it may start in those places, but it's already started... this is going to be global."

On Florida revival:

"Where you want to go to is what they call the river church. Where, uh, pastor, uh, what's his name? Pastor, uh, brown, uh, pastor Brownie... the church is so alive with miracle signs and wonder. Really young people on the street. They're just all in Tampa streets. They're just people get saved left and right."

International Ministry and Persecution

Pakistan Ministry Report

Bishop provided firsthand account of dangerous international ministry:

"I was there in the, on in... And so they have more house churches than they have traditional churches... we had an opportunity to see, uh, Muslim come, you know, we had witnessed the Muslim, so it was a miracle to see them come and accept salvation. But that was. A dangerous time too to do things like that. Very dangerous."

This demonstrated the global nature of current revival and the reality of persecution in many regions.

House Church Movement and Institutional Church Decline

Return to Original Model

Bishop explained the prophetic return to house church model:

"That's why you have a return of the Great House churches. That's where the house is gonna grow in America. Megachurches and all that... It started there... On the day of Pentecost, it stopped. The Bible says that they went from, uh, from house to house, eating their bread and drinking, you know, and having fellowship in the Lord added to the church."

On institutional limitations:

"You can't organize the Holy Spirit. They try to come in, organize."

This insight provided crucial understanding of why authentic revival often occurs outside traditional institutional structures.

End Times Urgency and Wealth Transfer

Rapture Preparation

The conversation emphasized urgent preparation for Christ's return:

"We have to take over the airwaves because they're so [corrupted]... This is the time to actually literally turn seven to eight, eight to nine fingers. This is the time."

Divine Wealth Transfer

Bishop prophesied about coming wealth transfer for kingdom purposes:

"I truly believe there's a wealth transfer coming, but not for us. Just holons for it... But the kingdom, it can make a kingdom... The provision, so called Prospera, I think that's instead of going individually, it should. It should free for the kingdom."

Technology and Revival Integration

Social Media Evangelism

The discussion revealed how technology would be supernaturally used for global harvest:

"The Holy Spirit is gonna take over social media in such a way. That's how so many are going to be reached global... because they would, it would be no, no AI enhancement or nothing. They'll see the method, they'll see people's legs come back there."

Documentation Strategy

Gary's use of Meta Ray-Ban glasses demonstrated innovative approaches to authentic revival documentation without disrupting the spiritual atmosphere.

Closing Prayer and Commissioning

The day concluded with a powerful prayer of thanksgiving and commissioning:

"Good father, oh, you are so good to your children. We are so thankful. We are so grateful for your blessings. Father, we thank you for this anointed time that we've had here in Liberty and Father this stay here in Daytone at this Holiday Inn and, um, father just covering us in this appointed meeting with, uh, Bishop, who has been in our lives for over. 20 years."

Global ministry commissioning:

"Thank you Lord. We go to China, we go to Africa, we go to Italy, Asia, and we go to Africa. We go to Europe. Father, we go to all places where miracles are needed. There. There are people who are dying and their lost. Them. They need to know that Father, you are a good father."
