The Time Has Come for another great Youth awakening!
Forty years ago in 1967 the Jesus Movement broke out, a youth revival starting on the streets that swept across the country, exploding in college campuses and coffee houses. People were being saved everywhere. It was radical for its day. Can we not believe for something even greater in our day?
It was also during this phase—in 1967—that the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, one of the largest movements in neo-Pentecostal history, got its start. A group of professors at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh sparked a fire among their students after they themselves were baptized in the Holy Spirit, and the fire quickly spread to Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, and to the University of Michigan. From there it spread around the world.
Though this charismatic move had its beginning in a Catholic university, it was not limited to it. Thousands upon thousands from mainline Protestant denominations were ushered into fresh encounters with Jesus including the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Prayer gatherings resulted. Healings occurred. Celebrations of praise were the hallmark as Jesus was welcomed back into His rightful place.
Also in 1967, through a Middle Eastern war and by the supernatural hand of God, Jerusalem was taken and once again brought under the control of the Jewish people and the state of Israel. This was a signpost in the shifting of eras. The dispensation of the times of the Gentiles was now beginning to shift to the times when Jerusalem would become the last days’ focus for God’s activity in the earth.
How about a time of consecration with prayer and fasting where we join Israel’s believers crying out to God that they would see their Messiah and that they would begin to receive their greatest spiritual awakening since the days of the Apostles? Why not?
Now 40 years later we are crying, do it again God, way beyond the Jesus Movement! Way beyond the charismatic movement! Why not the Greatest Youth Awakening the world has ever seen? Do it again, God! Do it again in this generation!
