At 86 years old, Sid Roth has seen movements of God come and go. He has watched the Holy Spirit shake denominations, transform lives and ignite believers with a hunger for the supernatural.
But Roth says he isn’t looking backward.
He believes another move of God is coming, and this one could eclipse what he has witnessed before.
“I’m about ready to enter the fifth move of God’s Spirit in my lifetime,” Roth said during a recent message. “And we’re touching on it now. But you know there’s more.”
Roth pointed to the Pentecostal movement, the charismatic movement and the rise of Messianic Judaism as significant moves of God he has personally witnessed during more than 50 years of following Jesus. Yet instead of becoming satisfied with yesterday’s encounters, Roth says he remains desperate to see God do something greater.
“How are you going to change the world unless there’s more?” he asked. “I am hungry for more. I am desperate for more.”
Roth believes that “more” is what Scripture describes as the greater glory: a display of God’s presence surpassing what previous generations have experienced.
“We’re about ready to enter the realm of the greater glory,” Roth declared.
But another piece of Roth’s message cannot be ignored: Israel.

Roth believes Israel and the Jewish people will play a critical role in this coming move.
Pointing to rising antisemitism and the intense hostility toward Israel seen on American college campuses, Roth repeatedly asked one haunting question: Why now?
For Roth, the spiritual battle surrounding Israel isn’t disconnected from revival. He believes something much bigger is brewing.
“This next move of God’s Spirit is going to start where all the moves of God’s Spirit really start, Israel,” Roth said.
Earlier in his message, Roth went even further, saying he believes the world is approaching “the greatest move of God’s Spirit in the history of the world in Israel,” which he says will then spread to the nations.
And he posed a staggering possibility.
If 12 Jewish disciples could help turn the ancient world upside down, what could happen if thousands upon thousands of Israelis became radically on fire for Jesus and carried the gospel to the nations?
Roth’s warning and invitation are simple: Don’t assume God’s greatest moves are behind us.
The church isn’t approaching the end of the story. It may be standing at the threshold of something greater.
And at 86, after witnessing decades of spiritual movements, Roth is still crying out for the same thing:
More.
