“A Divine Call in Alton: Rising in Faith and Fire

Introduction: In the heart of Alton, where the Mississippi River flows with power and purpose, God has called us to rise up with a fire that cannot be quenched. Just as Alton is a place of adventure—where people hike, bike, and explore the great outdoors—so too is our journey with Christ one of discovery, endurance, and triumph. Today, I, Camila, stand before you to declare that the Lord is moving mightily in this season. There may be trials, but there is also overwhelming joy bubbling in the core of God’s people. A fire is being kindled, and it is decreeing: “I WAS CREATED FOR THIS!”

Chapter 1: Trials, Temptations, and Triumph There is no victory without a battle. We see in the Word that even Peter, who once denied Jesus, stood up boldly in faith. He commanded the lame man to rise and walk in the name of Jesus, and the miraculous happened. Today, God is calling us to step into boldness, to declare His truth, and to trust that He is working, even when we cannot see it.

Satan’s greatest tool is doubt. He will tempt us to question, rationalize, and allow fear to overshadow faith. But let me tell you, church, we were not made to walk in fear! His Word is truth (John 17:17). The enemy seeks to keep us bound, but Jesus came to set us free. In the same way that visitors to Alton’s Haunted Trolley Tour may experience fear for a moment, we must remember that fear is temporary, but faith is eternal.

I recall a woman in my own church—a faithful believer for forty years—who saw a move of God unlike anything she had ever witnessed before. Revival had come, and God was pouring out His Spirit in power. In this season, God is performing a divine overhaul. He is calling us to higher places, preparing us for new assignments, new visions, and new territory. The Lord is saying, “Expect the UNEXPECTED ESTABLISHING!” What once seemed impossible is now being made possible by His mighty hand.

Chapter 2: A New Fire, A New Commissioning As I prayed for this gathering, I heard the Lord say: “I am sending forth My trailblazing sons and daughters! What I am releasing in this hour will bring forth the greatest shifts you have ever seen. You will step into what you never imagined possible, and through you, My revival fire will be released in power!”

Some of you have walked through intense battles. You have been wounded, weary, and unsure of how to continue. But the Lord says, “The fruitfulness that is coming will FAR OUTWEIGH the wounds of the past!” Just as Alton’s rolling hills and beautiful vistas offer a place of rest and renewal, so too does the Lord provide times of refreshing for His people. He is redeeming the time, redeeming the season, and He is restoring everything that was lost.

The book of Revelation declares that Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is the only One worthy to take the scroll and loose its seals. Today, the Lord is unlocking new doors, new assignments, and new levels of anointing over His people. The dry and parched places of your heart—where you have felt empty and abandoned—are about to receive an outpouring of His Spirit. His fire is not only falling to reignite your passion but to bring forth multiple births of destiny in your life.

A Call to Action: It is time to stand, church. It is time to rise in faith. The Lord is saying, “My hand of favor, provision, and vindication is upon you.” The strategies and blueprints of Heaven are being released, and as you align yourself with His will, supernatural doors will open before you. The Bride of Christ is being purified, and He is uprooting all that hinders unity in His body. We are called to be ONE in Him, walking in love, walking in power, and walking in victory.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly. Speak life, sing psalms, and declare His goodness. For this is the season of divine outpouring. The promises He has spoken over your life are now SUDDENLY MANIFESTING! You are not alone. You are chosen, commissioned, and set apart for such a time as this.

Conclusion: As I close, I want you to lift your hands and receive this prayer:

“Father, I thank You for every person here today. You have called them by name, and You have set them apart for Your glory. I pray that You would ignite their hearts with fresh fire, remove every hindrance, and open new doors before them. Let the joy of the Lord be their strength, and let faith rise within them. May they walk boldly in their calling, knowing that they were CREATED FOR THIS! In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!”

Church, go forth in victory. The fire has been kindled, the commissioning has begun, and the time for revival is NOW!
