Na de moord op George Floyd op 25 mei, werd Minneapolis overspoeld met chaos en rellen, maar het gebied is veranderd in een plek waar God al dagenlang krachtig beweegt. Deze beweging gaat nog steeds in alle hevigheid door. Joshua Lindquist van Awaken the Dawn vertelt op social media: “Velen, velen komen hier tot Jezus.”
Hij vertelt: “Elke dag worden er mensen gedoopt, genezen en komen er velen tot bekering. Het was een plek van hopeloosheid, maar het geestelijke klimaat is volledig veranderd.”
ANOTHER LIVE BAPTISM AT THE GEORGE FLOYD MEMORIAL 😭❤️🔥 The same street where a life was unjustly taken, new life’s are being spiritually reborn…. I watched this  precious lady surrender & give her life to the Lord in the altar tonight during the altar call. Seeing people come to Jesus brings me so much joy! God gives Beauty from ashes, joy for mourning!
Alle lagen Lindquist beschrijft hoe mensen van alle lagen van de samenleving naar deze plek komen en zo in contact met God komen. “Dit zijn geen kerkmensen, dit zijn seculiere mensen die hier van alle rangen en standen zijn. Maar ze nemen deel aan de aanbidding en worden door God geraakt. Deze plek is een epicentrum van opwekking geworden.”
WATCH THIS PRECIOUS WOMAN GIVE HER LIFE TO THE LORD & MOMENTS LATER GET BAPTIZED – At the Unity Revival at the George Floyd memorial… Last night I saw this precious lady respond to the salvation message given at the “Unity Revival” happening in Minneapolis. I could see the Holy Spirit drawing her and I watched her humbly Kneel at the altar and surrender her life to Jesus. It was sooo beautiful! If you watch closely at the beginning of the video you will see many others raising their hands to receive Jesus too.I AM IN AWE!I have witnessed God do incredible things on the very street where the world’s heart was broken as they witnessed George Floyd’s life get traumatically, tragically, unjustly taken. But, God is giving beauty from ashes & Healing our communities pain. I have seen people reconcile with God. I’ve seen demons come out of people. I’ve seen people throw away their drugs and alcohol, surrender to christ & moments later be baptized. I’ve seen an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I have seen the church start to rise up with courage & come out of hiding and shine their light in a desperate hour.Most of all I have seen people of all ethnic backgrounds love each other deeply. I’ve seen deep & authentic racial reconciliation happening as people of all walks of life have held eachother in their arms weeping.👉 I wish the media would focus on reconciliation instead only of portraying stories of deep hurt and pain that just cause more division & strife.I believe the media has become one of the greatest evils of our day…I pray that God raises up “Christian media warriors” that courageously rise up & take back the narrative & display examples of love & hope.WE NEED EXAMPLES PORTRAYED OF HEALING & RECONCILIATION!Many People want to heal. They want hope. They want to forgive & reconcile. I love this quote by MLK ~“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” – Rev. Martin Luther KingThis supernatural love is only possible through reconciling with God first. Experiencing God‘s love and forgiveness is what empowers us to give it away.IN RETROSPECTMy heart has actually grown more in love with my community through this. I live in St. Paul in a neighborhood that is very ethnically diverse.It was painful to see what happened to Mr. Floyd & also painful to see my neighborhood destroyed by the riots. Mainly because the places that were destroyed were minority owned businesses that I knew were already struggling to make ends meet. Many of them now are now unemployed & devastated. I held a asian server in my arms at the local Thai food resturant and prayed for her as this mom wept from all the trauma she had been through in the riots. She was trembling, afraid of loosing her ability to work & pay bills. All I knew to do was listen, comfort her & pray.Also, my African-American friend who cuts my hair lost her salon to cut hair in during the riots….My heart breaks for all of them.👆 THIS IS WHY I DONT BELIEVE RIOTS ARE THE ANSWER, REVIVAL IS!The move of God that I have been witnessing at the George Floyd memorial has touched my heart & Has given me a deeper love for my community. My heart is forever changed. I have hope for America to turn back to God. I have hope for forgiveness and reconciliation.I have hope that in the midst of the pain, injustice & chaos, God has a plan!I pray that this “Unity Revival Movement” sweeps the nation(s) & is an example of healing for your neighborhood and community!As we repent, humble ourselves & soften our hearts & seek Gods face, may God heal our land….🙏 Please be praying for us
Start De start van deze beweging, was tijdens Pinksteren. Dr. Charles en Pastor Lindsey Karuku van de International Outreach Church in Minnesota namen het initiatief. Ze waren veertig dagen aan het vasten en hoorden van God dat er er op de Pinksterdag iets groots zou gebeuren – precies de dag dat ze klaar waren met vasten.

“Uitgerekend op die dag braken de rellen uit”, vertelt Karuku tegen CBN. “We wisten dat we op de Pinksterdag op de plek moesten zijn waar George Floyd werd vermoord en daar de naam van Jezus Christus moesten verkondigen en een boodschap van eenheid moesten brengen”, voegde hij eraan toe.
Verschillende kleuren Pastor Lindsey vertelt wat ze zagen toen ze daar aankwamen. “Gebouwen stonden nog in brand”, legt ze uit. “Maar nu is er veel vrede in het gebied waar het monument van George Floyd staat. Het is uitgeroepen tot heilige grond, waar aanbidding en redding en ware verzoening tussen mensen van alle verschillende kleuren plaatsvindt.”
Dr. Charles is er getuige van hoe de beweging van God nog altijd doorgaat. “Gisteravond nog kwamen mensen tot bekering en zagen we een onmiddellijke genezing van een 20-jarige met rugproblemen. Ook iemand die al achttien maanden een letsel had, werd onmiddellijk genezen. Anderen ervoeren bevrijding of innerlijke verandering.”
“We hadden een man die vijftien jaar in het leger zat en doof was aan één oor. God opende onmiddellijk zijn doof oor,” voegde Dr. Charles eraan toe. “Er kwamen mensen langs die zeiden: ‘Ik ben suïcidaal, kan iemand me helpen?’ en we baden voor hen. Ze worden bevrijd. We doopten ze in water. Ook vindt er veel interraciale genezing en verzoening plaats.”
