The Next Awakening
God has graciously sent America several key Spiritual Awakenings over the course of its history and we have benefited enormously in economic, political and human freedom.
The First Great Awakening led to planting thousands of new churches with many thousands of new believers and freedom from Great Britain.
The Second Great Awakening led to a huge number of new spiritual births and to the Abolitionist Movement that stopped the most horrible plague to ever hit humanity; slavery.
The Third Great Awakening led to the expansion of many churches and the extension of economic and social benefits for the poor.
The Fourth Great Awakening, begun in the Sixties and including the Jesus Movement, revitalized the church and led to a flood of new believers entering Seeker Churches that played contemporary music and broke down the clergy-laity barriers.
Fifth Great Awakening will release the Mature Christian Boomers from the shackles of the past "Churchianity" and send them from the world of work into the world of ministry.
This Awakening will be focused on spiritual and emotional liberation that leads to economic and family freedom.
I will discuss these amazing facts in my class starting October 17 at the Vineyard Community Church. Ya'll come and be with us to see what God is doing next.
