SID: You know, everything in God is timing. Everything is timing. Don’t you dare give up. So the green light, then what?
JESSI: So He said that this next revival would come through the equipping of the saints and we needed to prepare nets. So, I started calling every church in Orange County, inviting them over for dinner. I’m calling them all. I’m this little blonde girl, I’m like, “Come over. I have to tell you this vision.”
SID: Now did that work out with COVID going on simultaneously?
JESSI: So not so well, a lot of people thought we were very crazy. Honestly, we got a lot of backlash and then everything in California was being absolutely shut down. I just kept thinking, “God, are you postponing this?” He just kept saying, “Jessi … ” and I read John 21. He said, “Look at the men on the beach. I want you to throw the net on the other side.” I believe that that was an invitation to innovate with God and stop doing things just the same old way it’s been done.
SID: Wow. The presence of God is so strong right now. So, you went to the beach and tell me what happened.
JESSI: I went to the beach, shaking. I was so afraid that I would be the only person there. That Wednesday—
SID: I think that feeling. I used to have big meetings for unsaved Jewish people throughout the United States. I thought I’d be the only one there, a thousand people would show up.
JESSI: Well, my experience was no one showing up ever. So, I had been casting this vision all around Orange County, that this was going to be a harvest. I went and everything was locked down. We went anyway and I said, “I’m just supposed to be there and I’m going to preach the gospel, even if it’s to the seagulls.” There was hundreds of people there, I preached just that Jesus was the Messiah, that he died and that he rose again, and he wanted to give people the Holy Spirit and people ran into the ocean to be baptized.” Each week, thousands and thousands of people flew in from all around the country to come and be baptized.
SID: Describe what you were seeing before your eyes.
JESSI: Honestly, it’s hard to even describe. I feel like that video is even just a glimmer. I felt like I was transported into the Bible. There were moments where the crowds were so large, they couldn’t hear me on the megaphone. At one point, the Holy Spirit said, “Jessi, leave the front, walk into the crowd.” I was stepping over towels, stepping over people, screaming into this crowded circle, just the gospel and people were just lifting up their hands, screaming out to God. Police trucks were surrounding us saying, “You must stop. This is illegal assembly. You must stop.”
SID: It’s California, what do you expect?
JESSI: And one older lady in the end of the crowd … I was like, “What do we do? There’s seven cop cars around us.” She’s screams, “We will not be silent,” and everyone ran into the ocean to be baptized.
