Florida Awakens

Join us today through the National Day of Prayer on May 7, as we pray for the USA to awaken to Christ’s love.

Over the past few weeks, thousands of students in Florida experienced a powerful move of the Spirit that has been awakening Gen Z throughout the nation.

During a scheduled event at Southeastern University on February 11, speaker Jennie Allen issued a call to repentance and students began shouting their sins out loud. Suddenly, those who had gathered could feel an overwhelming sense of God’s presence. For the next ten days, revival fire Revival filled the campus with worship, prayer, miracles of healing, confessions of repentance and spontaneous baptisms that continued late into the night. SEU canceled classes and other campus events to make room for what the Spirit was doing.

Around the same time, over 5,000 students gathered at a UniteUS event at the University of Central Florida on February 10. About 1,600 made decisions for Christ and hundreds were baptized, including many former atheists.

Then on March 31, about 4,500 Florida State University students gathered to worship at a UniteUS event, where hundreds chose to follow Christ and 81 were baptized in portable tanks on the arena floor. Leading the event were students who had participated in a 2024 FSU revival, where thousands gathered and hundreds were baptized in a university fountain.

In September last year, at the University of South Florida in Tampa, about 7,000 young people showed up for worship and preaching. Close to 2,000 gave their lives to Jesus and 300 were baptized.

Another revival occurred in Pensacola, with intense worship, especially among the youth. Thousands were baptized at a Jesus Tent Revival in Palm Bay February 20-22. And Kingdom Pursuit Ministries led another tent revival in Florida City in February.

On May 3, over 50 congregations in North Florida will join together for Revival 250, as America’s 250th anniversary approaches. Some 250,000 people are anticipated to attend, and the event will be live-streamed globally via thankyoujesus.com.

Father God, please protect each one of these new believers and ignite them with passion for Your Word. Set them free from the chains that have bound them to anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, pornography and other strongholds. Tear down every wall that has blocked them from oneness with You, and draw them all the nearer every day. Open up for them the fullness of abundant life in You. When they read the Bible, when they pray, when they worship You, and even as they go along throughout their day, meet with them in powerful ways. Carry them through every trial. Draw them into churches that will love and disciple them well. Transform them so dramatically by Your grace and love others around them will see the difference You make in their lives and also be drawn to You. Call out each of these young people who responded to Your outpouring of love. Show them the good path You have for them and guide them through every trial, holding them in Your arms. Set them on fire with passion for You, until they have surrendered every corner of their lives to You to let You have full control. May they be history makers, changing the world around them by the light of Your love within them, as they shine for Your glory and bring forth Your kingdom here on Earth. Raise up a generation of missionaries, evangelists and Christian couples who know the Word of God and live it, who will not only preach the good news but demonstrate Your love and truth in such powerful ways the lost won’t be able to resist You.

Lord, we see You moving, the way You’re pouring Your love on hearts in the USA and all throughout this world. Thank You, Jesus. We ask You for more! O Father, pour out Your love in increasing measures and unprecedented ways over our cities, churches, families, friendships, and over every heart all across this Earth. Don’t leave even one heart dry. Save the lost. Heal the hurting. Bring the ruthless to their knees. Lift up the lonely. Mend what is broken. Set the sinners free. And begin, O Lord, in me. It is Your love we crave. Satisfy me now with that everlasting flow that never runs dry, that love poured out on the cross that purifies, transforms and sets us apart, glowing with Your glory. Ignite all of our hearts now with such love. Make us Your love-and-truth-spreaders, history-makers by Your hand, planting the seeds of Your Word in the hearts of everyone around us, and watching those seeds take root and grow unto salvation. Because that’s what You do, Lord. You Love. You forgive. You heal. You save. Awaken us to Your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen
