Next Great Awakening - Rural America Revival

HER SOIL IS HER FORTUNE
Something unusual is happening in rural America!  Not only did rural America help vote in our next president, but if what I witnessed last weekend in Belle Glade, Florida was what I think it was, we could be in the next GREAT AWAKENING in America.  It is not happening in the most likely place. Belle Glade is a small rural community of 17,000 people that is being visited by a sovereign touch of heaven. Belle Glade is historically known for crime (in the top 98% of America), for the most Aids per capita of any city in the world, and poverty defined in almost unbelievable terms for an American small town.  Yet this is where God showed up in the person of evangelist Daniel Mcgehee and his team of workers. Over 300 souls had come to Christ before the tent was even set up. Just from a small team witnessing on the streets. And before the revival even started Sunday night people were just stepping in the tent and finding Christ. 64 had accepted Christ by Saturday night. The local high school baseball team showed up last Friday before the revival started and the entire team accepted Christ! Sunday night, the opening night, witnessed people rushing to the altar by the hundreds and receiving Christ and most immediately baptized in the Spirit and speaking in tongues. Daniel was told by God to get a tent...a large tent that seats 1,000 people.  Sunday night it was filled and hundreds were outside listening to the message. Yes, it is the lowest, the least, the hurting but hungry souls that were seeking to hear and receive the salvation message. Daniel says, "Everywhere I go revival is breaking out in Rural America. Something unusual is happening to those in out of way places that most people have forgotten". But God has not forgotten them. With a colorful Southern drawl, Daniel pleads with all who will stop and listen.  "We are not in the final hours before Christ's return, but the final minutes.." He sighs.  "We must grab this final harvest opportunity and reap souls on every hand". Daniel had asked me to come down and video tape what God is doing. He has not even used the modern social media and does not even have a web site! He defies all modern techniques! But what he touches is a authentic passion for souls. This is his attraction and appeal. At the end of the night's move of God, he called a youth from the audience forward and took off his shirt and gave it to the young man. Then he called one of the migrant workers forward and took off his shoes and the man put Daniel's shoes on his own feet. "God told me to do this even before I preached tonight," Said Daniel. God is showing these people how much He cares for their souls and their needs. Belle Grade is located in the rich loam soil at the southern base of lake Okeechobee.  The moto of the city is, "Her soil is her fortune". But really, the soil of Belle Glade is the hearts of it's hungry souls. Please watch this video and please forward this post on to everyone you know.  

ARE WE WITNESSING THE NEXT GREAT AWAKENING?
