Jesus Reigns: National Proclamation in the Philippines
The story of Jesus Reigns began on New Year’s Eve in 2012 in Cebu, Philippines, when a woman, who prefers to stay anonymous, had a vision of people marching with banners representing their town and God’s qualities, without focusing on any specific church or denomination. The vision included a helicopter with the name of Jesus and predicted a large worship concert on November 30, 2012, with fireworks featuring God’s names. God indicated this was His event. Although many titles were considered, “JESUS REIGNS” was the one that resonated, confirmed by Psalm 47:8-9, declaring that Jesus reigns in Cebu.
This November 30, 2024, the whole nation declares: Jesus reigns! Together, we proclaim His greater glory over every place in the Philippines and in the world.
