"When Andrew was being transported from the detention center to prison, it was such a dark time, and he really felt this whirlwind around him, this very demonic, dark thing, and he felt like he was being handed over like Job," Brunson's wife, Norine, says. "Satan was trying to destroy him. He was trying to cut him off from the body, from fellowship, from truth, from a lot of things. ... And he was cut off from the presence of the Lord most of the time. At the same time, he was cut off, and he felt isolated, but at the same time, around him, he had the Body of Christ worldwide ... actually there, protecting him, even though he felt completely alone."

The Brunsons have known John and Carol Arnott for a decade now, and the couple went through training under Randy Clark in 2009, when they received activation for words of knowledge.

"I said, 'Lord, give me a word of knowledge. I need to be activated in this,'" Brunson recalls. "And into my mind comes, 'Prepare for harvest.' And I said, 'No, no, no, God. I need a word of knowledge for healing!' And again, it comes into my mind, 'Prepare for harvest.'"

Brunson says it was surprising, because they thought they would be sowing into Turkey for years before they saw results. So, the couple began to press in for harvest. Within a month of the word, the couple went to Toronto for the first time.

"What the Lord was doing was connecting us to a powerhouse," Brunson says.

"After that time, everything we did: church planting, training programs, working with Syrian refugees, house of prayer—it was all laying a foundation for the great move of God that is coming in Turkey."

In 2016, the Brunson’s were arrested. Officials released Norine after a few weeks, but they held her husband until last year.

"As the time went on, I began to see that my imprisonment was part of the assignment in preparing for the harvest," Brunson says.

As Brunson's trial rose to prominence, so did the Gospel. People worldwide, even in persecuted countries, began to pray for the missionary. They were drawn to the message Brunson refused to renounce, even behind bars.

A Chinese house church printed up 1 million brochures with his face on them.

"If I'd gone to China for years, I never would have reached that many people," Brunson shares. "Then so many started to pray for Turkey. One of the scary things is, I began to think, 'Lord, maybe I'm more use to You here in prison for the harvest than I am outside, so You might keep me here for a long time.'

"My imprisonment was part of our assignment to prepare for harvest," Brunson says.

Brunson added, "I've imagined that satan realized that God had outmaneuvered him again. He was planning on destroying us, cutting us off, and then at some point, he becomes aware that there's a huge movement of prayer. God's people around the world are now pouring into prayer for me, but into this country, into this region, using it to sustain me, but much bigger than that, Turkey is the largest unevangelized country in the world.

"Turkey was the head of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the Muslim world for centuries, and they spread Islam to many places. The land of Paul, apostle John, Pricilla, Aquilla, Timothy, Ephesus, Galatia, seven churches of Revelation is now Muslim. So, there was a great battle going on between the principalities, spiritual powers that were over that region. And I just see this scene where satanrealizes, 'What did I do? I wanted to knock these two people out, and now instead, there's a huge movement of prayer around the world and God's people are coming against these powers and principalities.' A major battle took place," Brunson says.

"I think this result of this is there's a string of tsunami waves that have been breaking and are going to break over Turkey to bring the Kingdom, to bring harvest all over the place." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
