The Emerging Youth Revival 

This week, CBN News reported that revival is continuing on college campuses, stating that:

“The ongoing spiritual awakening unfolding on college campuses across the U.S. reached the University of Central Florida on Tuesday night, leading to hundreds of new salvations and baptisms.

“Tonya Prewett, the founder and visionary of the UniteUS campus outreach ministry, reports 1,600 students made decisions to ‘go all in with Jesus... revival is not slowing down!’

“Over 5,000 students gathered at the University of Central Florida to lift the name of Jesus. Hundreds of students were baptized, and many who identified as atheists now identify as Christians. What a night! What a God!

“UniteUS has held two dozen Christian revival events on college campuses since the movement started three years ago. It all kicked off after the Asbury Awakening of February 2023 signaled a fresh move of the Spirit of God among American students.”(1)

An outpouring of Holy Spirit also began on Wednesday of this week at Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL. It continued throughout the night and into yesterday. Because I record these posts the day before, I don’t know at this time (Thursday afternoon) if the worship and prayer have continued into today. Here is their YouTube link. 

The revival ministry, UniteUS, has had outreaches on campuses such as Auburn University, Florida State, Alabama, Georgia, Cincinnati, Grand Canyon, Tennessee, Oklahoma, NC State, Purdue University, and the University of South Florida. More than 120,000 students have participated, with thousands making decisions to follow Christ. This past December, UniteUS branched out to reach high school students with 1,000 surrendering their hearts in Nashville. You can find out more about them at UniteUsMovement.com. The website lists upcoming events, including Pittsburg, FSU, and Samford.

God is moving among the youth around the world. Throughout history, God has often chosen to begin outpourings of His Spirit among the next generation - young hearts hungry for truth, freedom, and purpose. Today, we are witnessing this again, a divine awakening sweeping across college campuses. A fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit is stirring the hearts of thousands of students, igniting a fire of faith that is transforming lives and reshaping our nation's future.

This is not just revival. It is also a sign that God’s Spirit is once again moving in power to reawaken the church, awaken nations, and fulfill His divine purposes for this generation. It is a kairos moment(2) - a divine opportunity for the body of Christ to rise up in faith and partner with heaven for the greatest awakening in history.

As I stated above, God has often chosen young people in past generations to be the catalysts of spiritual renewal. From the student revivals of the 18th and 19th centuries to the powerful moves of the 20th century, the youth have often been at the forefront of God’s plans. Today, we are seeing this pattern repeat itself—God is awakening a generation on the campuses. 

Young people are standing boldly, professing their faith in Christ, being baptized, and declaring that Jesus is their Lord. These conversions are not just moments of individual salvation; they are prophetic declarations that the kingdom of God is breaking into the heart of education systems, challenging the darkness and establishing His light.

Reports from campuses throughout the nations tell of thousands of students encountering Jesus through dreams, visions, and powerful testimonies of salvation. Baptisms are happening in dormitories, campus chapels, and even in lakes and rivers near college towns. These are not isolated incidents but a widespread movement—a wave of revival sweeping through nations.

This revival is characterized by genuine repentance, hunger for the Word, and a desire to see God move throughout the earth. Students are not just interested in superficial religion; they are hungry for authentic encounters with the living God. They’re rising up with a newfound zeal to share the Good News of Christ, to pray for their campuses, and to see the Holy Spirit come in power.

Prayer and Worship Are Fueling the Fire

At the heart of this movement is a renewed passion for prayer and worship. Students are gathering in prayer meetings that are overflowing with the presence of God. Worship is erupting on campuses as young voices cry out with passion and abandonment. These moments of prayer and worship are becoming portals for divine revelation and transformation. They’re breaking down barriers, tearing down strongholds, and ushering in God’s glory.

This awakening is marked by a tangible desire to see others come to Christ. Students are stepping out boldly—sharing their faith on social media, engaging in street evangelism, and forming discipleship groups. They understand that revival is not just about personal salvation but about reaching others for Christ. Many campuses are witnessing the birth of student-led prayer groups and outreach ministries. 

A Prophetic Sign

This movement on college campuses is a prophetic sign—a divine forecast of what God has begun on the earth. Holy Spirit is being poured out on all flesh, and young men and women are receiving visions and dreams, prophetic words, and divine assignments (Acts 2:16-21). God will use this generation to carry the torch of revival. These students are not just the future of the church; they are the church now, armed with power and purpose.

Our prayers are crucial at this time. They are the engine that will propel the revival forward, creating a spiritual atmosphere that sustains it. Persevere in declaring God’s promises over campuses and cities. This is a season of divine breakthrough. Our prayers are breaking strongholds, releasing the Spirit’s power, and opening the heavens for an unprecedented move of God.

In Conclusion 

This is just the beginning. The revival on campuses is gaining momentum, and the Spirit of God is inviting the church to join in. Now is the time for believers everywhere to pray more fervently, believe more boldly, and partner with heaven in seeing this move multiply. We must continue to cry out, to declare His promises, and to believe that earth’s greatest harvest of souls is on the horizon. Partner with heaven! Be part of this historic awakening, one that will sweep across America and the world. 

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1). 

Pray with me:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, longing for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit upon our campuses across America. Lord, You see the hunger, brokenness, and confusion that grip the hearts of students and faculty alike. We cry out for revival—an awakening that will shake the very foundations of our institutions and ignite a passion for Your truth and righteousness.

We ask You to pour out Your Spirit in power, to break every chain of sin and ignite a fire of holiness within every student and leader. Send a fresh wave of conviction, repentance, and renewal. Raise up mighty warriors for Your Kingdom—students, professors, administrators—who will stand for Christ and proclaim Your Gospel with boldness and love.

We know that revival has begun. Now, in the name of Jesus, release Your Spirit to sweep across every campus, transforming minds, hearts, and lives. We believe You are able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we ask or imagine. Come, Lord Jesus, come. Let Your Kingdom come - NOW - on campuses everywhere, bringing Heaven to earth. Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that revival has begun and will continue on campuses in America and throughout the world.

Being Like Jesus

“…whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:43-45: NASB, 1995)

God asks all believers to have servant-hearts. There are several New Testament words for “servant” or “minister,” each with different nuances of meaning. I will mention five of them today, giving the greatest focus to number four. 

1. A doulos was a bond-slave.(1) Paul often referred to himself as a bond-slave or bond-servant of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:1, etc.). Yes, God owns us. This is true by the right of creation, but also because He purchased us with the blood of Jesus (1 Corinthians 6:20; 7:23). As our Lord, He can require of us anything He wants. One of the most popular songs in the Charismatic Movement of the 70s was simple but powerful, “He is Lord.” And He is.

2. Latris is from the verb latreuo, and means to serve, not out of compulsion, but by choice.(2) A parent serves his or her family by providing for and caring for them – not as a slave, but from the motivation of love. This is latreuo. Romans 12:1 in the King James Translation tells us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God, as it is our “reasonable service.” Other versions of Scripture translate the phrase differently, and appropriately so, saying this is our “reasonable service of worship.” They do this because the word used here is latreuo, not doulos. We are not being told to present our bodies to God as a living sacrifice because we are His slaves, but rather because we love Him and want to please Him. We do it as worshippers. 

   Though Paul referred to himself as the Lord’s bond-slave, he also said the love of God constrained him as his primary motivation (2 Corinthians 5:14). We certainly must establish that we will obey God fully, but we must also fully realize that we are His partners, friends, and kids. As the Head of the church and King of the Kingdom, He gives commands; He also delights in partnering with us as His family and friends. 

3. The third word is diakonos, which simply means “to serve, minister, attend or wait on,” as in a “waiter” serving tables. We get the English word “deacon” from this Greek word.(3) In Acts chapter 6, it is used for both the apostles’ “ministries” (Acts 6:4) and the deacons’ “ministries” (Acts 6:2). One group served natural food to the widows; the other served spiritual food to the entire church. Same word–both were servants. Diakonia/diakonos simply means to serve another, regardless of the purpose. We are ALL called to ministry or service for Christ, whether on a platform, in an office building, or at home. We have all been given gifts from God; serving that gift to benefit others is diakonia.(4) 

4. The fourth word is huperetes, and though it does mean “a servant or an attendant,”(5) its original and literal meaning is “bottom rower” or “under-rower.” The word refers to an oarsman positioned on the lower deck of a trireme-type ship. This was a lightweight, oar-powered warship with three decks of oars on each side, used by Mediterranean civilizations from the 7th to 4th centuries BC. It was propelled by 170 oarsmen, 85 per side, and could reach speeds of 10 mph. A “bottom rower” was an oarsman serving on the lowest deck; some were paid, others were slaves. Later, the word came to be used simply as a subordinate.

   Several rather obvious symbolic meanings can be seen in the use of this word for believers. A bottom rower was a lowly position, requiring great humility. Significantly, both the apostle Paul and King David were called under-rowers (Acts 26:16; 13:36). Think of that! One of the greatest apostolic leaders of the church, Paul, and perhaps Israel’s greatest king, David, both called bottom rowers. How revealing! We’re all called to be humble servants in God’s Kingdom, under-rowers for Him, not superstars. 

   A bottom rower, being on the bottom deck, couldn’t see where the ship was going. He had to completely trust the leader, just as we must trust the Lord as He directs our lives.

   Not only was being an under-rower hard work, but this bottom level was uncomfortable, cold, and damp. When storms came, the rowers would be swamped with seawater, yet they had to row onward. It was very challenging. We, too, are told to endure hardship as good soldiers of Christ (2 Timothy 2:3)

   And the rowers had to be unified. The key to their success was the synergy produced when they rowed in unison. If the 170 rowers on triremes had rowed sequentially, taking turns, they would have generated only the strength of one, 170 different times. But when the 170 rowed simultaneously, they created a synergistic force that could propel a small ship. This is why a leader would call a cadence, enabling them to row in unison.

   We, too, must be team players, not doing our own thing or quarreling over who calls the cadence. We must be Kingdom-minded, wanting only to move the boat forward: “Give me an oar and let me row.” When this is happening, we can accomplish number five. 

5. The last word for a servant is therapon. While this word does mean a “servant, attendant, or minister,” it originates from the concept of doing so to cure or heal!(6) (Matthew 4:23-24). We actually get our English words “therapy” and “therapist” from this Greek word. Notice the progression: when we are submitted to Christ’s Lordship (doulos); loving Him and desiring to partner with His goals (latris); doing so by ministering to others through the gift He gave us (diakonos); operating in humility, harmony, and agreement with others (huperetes); we become His healing force in the earth (therapon)!

   This is what occurs as we intercede together for the accomplishment of God’s purposes on earth: we move forward powerfully, becoming a force of God’s life and power. Let’s do so now.

Pray with me:

Father, we know Jesus demonstrated true ministry/servanthood, selflessly traveling about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by satan (Acts 10:38). He came not to be served but to serve and give His life for many (Matthew 20:28). David, a king, was called a servant. Your apostles were called servants. We ask for great understanding and conviction to invade the church regarding our call to servanthood.

We also ask that our hearts be moved upon by Holy Spirit, bringing genuine desires to work with others. We ask that denominations, movements, leaders, and all believers be motivated to operate in high levels of agreement. Convict the church of being judgmental and of promoting disunity and division. Show us the religiosity and pride that motivate this divisive spirit. Replace it with a spirit of love and cooperation.

We ask for many new connections to occur in Your Kingdom. Give us hearts willing to row together. Build prayer connections that enable us to fulfill the assignments You give. We ask that EVERY nation have a STRONG prayer covering by the Ekklesia. Turn our nations to You and send the greatest awakening the earth has ever experienced. In Christ’s name, amen.

Our decree:

We declare that we are Christ’s bottom rowers, joyfully rowing to the cadence of Holy Spirit, causing great strength and power to be released for His Kingdom.

Introduction

I always pray for the Lord’s guidance when preparing the Give Him 15 posts. Yesterday, I felt strongly impressed to release a word of encouragement. After doing so, Gina Gholston sent me a word, which is also regarding encouragement from the Lord. It seems He wants to encourage and strengthen us! I’m titling today’s post: Re-energize to Mobilize. Gina shares:

Re-energized to Mobilize

Recently, while scrolling through one of my social media pages, I saw a picture someone had posted. The photographer had captured the sun rising directly behind a weeping willow tree by a river. When I saw the picture, I immediately and very clearly heard the Lord say, “Weeping has endured for the night, but morning is breaking, and joy is coming! I Am drawing you up and to Myself! I Am making you inaccessible to the enemy who has sought to overtake you. I have not, nor will I allow your foes to rejoice over you. You have cried out to Me for help, and I have heard your cry! Your Help is on the way! I Am your Helper! I Am extending mercy to you. My glory is breaking through. I Am loosing you from the cloak of sorrow and clothing you with gladness! I Am turning your weeping into joy, your sorrow into dancing, and your test into a testimony that will further ignite the flames of awakening and true revival! My manifested glory is coming in!”

What an encouraging and timely word from the Lord! With all that is happening in our world today, it seems our call to the wall of intercession has become increasingly fervent and relentless. Holy Spirit is intensifying our assignments to stand in the gap and appeal to Heaven on behalf of our nation. We know that our labor is not in vain. Still, in the throes of the constant warfare, weariness and exhaustion threaten to weave a veil over our focus and get us off course. But Yahweh is extending help and mercy to us. He is turning things for us and in us. He is giving us a second wind, enabling us to catch our breath and refocus on Him and His promises. He is with us, and this battle belongs to Him. He will not allow our foes to rejoice over us!

In 2021, I received an encouraging vision and word from the Lord. I have shared this before, but feel it necessary to release it again today. In the vision, I saw people whom I knew were intercessors spinning around swiftly like a top when released from its string. Off to the side, I could see the enemy watching them, laughing and mocking. Suddenly, I saw the finger of God placed on the heads of these intercessors, and the spinning stopped. And in that moment, they began to glow with a brilliant light!

Immediately, I heard the Lord say, “The nauseating dizziness and all of the confusion from the unexpected attacks launched against you have come to an end! The attacks have not made you weak! In spite of what the enemy tried to do, I have strengthened your spirit man; what I have developed in you will now begin to radiate through you with a fervency that cannot be extinguished or avoided! Healing and strength are your portion! You are stepping out of a dark, spinning season into the light of My ‘now’ moment. And as you walk with Me, I will shine through you with power and the manifestation of My might! The spinning is now becoming a ‘turning of events’...a turning in your favor!”

On another occasion, the Spirit of the Lord said to me, “I have built in you a resistance that hell cannot penetrate! You are fortified. The barrier that is formed around you will not hem you in; it will keep hell out! I Am surrounding you as a wall of fire. My glory is in you, both to flow for you and out from you in magnificent ways!”

Yes, we have all felt the undeniable increase of spiritual resistance, but Yahweh is reminding us of this powerful, unchangeable truth: Greater is He that is in us than any force of hell that comes against us! (1 John 4:4) We are surrounded by an impenetrable force of the power of God. Though the battle has been intense, our assurance is that we are fortified, and hell cannot defeat us. No amount of resistance can stop us, as He works through us, to fulfill His intentions for this nation! The spinning is ending, and things are turning as the Ancient of Days rises on our behalf.

I feel the Lord is saying:

This is a divine moment. Stay the course. Don’t get entrapped by your emotions. Don’t relax your stand on what I have said! My Word stands! Do not allow weariness to rob you of your due season! Don’t lose hope, and don’t discard your courage! I Am re-adjusting your vision and stabilizing your resolve. You will run and not grow weary! Shake off the dizziness. Reorganize for renewed activity. Be re-energized to mobilize! Onward is your command!

I once heard Dutch say, “It’s time for the Ekklesia to step up. This is our time. Do not grow weary now! Grab hold of that surge, that second wind that comes to an athlete, giving him the ability to say, ‘I see the finish line. I feel adrenaline flowing inside me! I’m ready to do this!’”

We are in a time when the Lord is drawing us to Himself intensely. He is making us aware of His presence, and a spiritual hunger is being stirred that many haven't felt in years. In renewed awareness of His power and presence, weariness is breaking, allowing us to refocus and hold fast to our faith in God. The Body of Christ is being revitalized to carry on with the purposes for which we have been called.

For some, weeping has endured for a night season. But the new day has dawned, the Lord is removing the cloak of weariness, and is clothing us with gladness. He is turning our weeping into joy, our sorrow into dancing, and our test into a testimony, one that will further ignite the flames of awakening and true revival! He has put His finger on us, and we will now rise with a greater radiance of His glory!

Pray with me:

Lord, thank You for hearing our prayers and for fighting on our behalf. Weeping may have endured for a time, but You have not allowed our foes to rejoice over us. You have us surrounded. We are anchored on the foundation of Your promises, and You have secured our victory! We cast off the cloak of weariness, and don Your robes of gladness. We rise with renewed hope and restored strength. The spinning has come to an end. Your power and purposes will now radiate through us with a fervency that cannot be extinguished or avoided. We draw near to You, Lord. And in Your presence, we will find strength and wisdom to go forward, accomplishing the purposes for which You have called us.

Father, thank You for this history-making time. We hear You, and we will follow You forward. We refuse to allow our enemy to talk us into surrendering our posts. We receive and believe Your Word. Like a hammer, it is breaking off all emotional entanglements of the last season. Thank You for healing many - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - so that with renewed focus and strength, they can rise to finish what You have started in and through them! We trust You, and we will not be afraid. You are our strength and defense, and our salvation. Your favor is upon us, and You will work through us to fully establish all of Your intentions for our time. We breathe in Your awakening breath, and we shout with steadfast resolve, “Weariness will not rob us of our due season!” We are free, we will run, and we will BE all You have called us to be! 

We do not fear, we believe Your promise, and we will partner with You in all You have planned for our future, including revival and reformation. We thank You for Your faithfulness and mercy. And we pray all of this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our decree:

We decree that God is turning weeping into joy, sorrow into dancing, and tests into testimonies, in order to further ignite the flames of awakening and true revival!
