In a fiery message delivered under a revival tent in Texas, evangelist Mario Murillo declared a prophetic warning for the nation in his sermon titled “What is Next for America?”
Murillo said that a supernatural event is coming to America that will “render two groups of people obsolete.” According to him, “Events are going to start happening that are both spiritual and demonic,” and even “doctors will be forced to admit it’s real.” These phenomena, he warned, will no longer be deniable as they unfold publicly, even “on university campuses, and on the news.”

Atheism and Lukewarm Churches Will Fall
First on Murillo’s list of the obsolete: atheists. “It will be impossible to say the supernatural isn’t real,” he said. “That day is now over, because the Devil is in a new mode and no longer trying to hide.” Quoting Revelation 12:12, he said, “Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Next, Murillo warned that “non-supernatural churches will be rendered obsolete.” Addressing pastors, he urged, “You better start allowing gifts of the Spirit to operate in your church,” including “speaking in tongues, prophesying, casting out devils, and laying hands on the sick.”
He issued a blunt rebuke to cessationist theology and charismatic excess alike. “We have worshipped ministries that do exotic and wild things because we have turned the moving the Spirit into a carnival,” he said. “We need to get rid of the sideshow and have Jesus move in power.”
A Time of Division and Deception
Murillo quoted David Wilkerson, saying, “The greatest crime in modern ministry is that we have allowed the fact that people abuse the gifts of the Spirit, to be our excuse to ban them.” He warned, “You are as guilty of hurting the church as any false evangelist” if you reject the gifts due to their misuse.
What’s ahead, he cautioned, is a war inside the church itself. “There will be a new breed of backslider,” he said. “These backsliders will be unsaved, not knowing God, but they will still be in the church to undermine the work.”
Citing 2 Timothy, Murillo said this deception would be subtle and disguised as religion: “They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!” (2 Timothy 3:5 NLT).
The Church Must Awaken
As opposition intensifies against conservatives, patriots and Christians, Murillo emphasized the urgency: “God revealed that the church has three and a half years to wake up, unify, get on fire, and begin speaking out.”
But his message came with a stark political disclaimer: “Donald Trump and the Republican Party are not going to save this nation, it’s already too late. So there’s one thing left … God’s got an army!”

The Call to Unity
For Murillo, God has a clear path for the church moving forward: “Unity, particularly unity in the church and between churches. Unity throughout the body of Christ. The answer is the destruction of division.”
In the closing moments, Murillo issued a direct call to the crowd, to stand, to raise their hands, to come forward and be saved. Because in his words, the battle is not just coming, it’s already begun.
