Revival in South Carolina Schools
Recently Eddie James Ministries had the opportunity to minister in a public school assembly. We frequently get this chance, but this time it was a bit different in that we were actually allowed to talk about God. We usually have to make it "inspirational"(instead of spiritual) as to not offend, etc. A public highschool in South Carolina decided to take a stand & give us (& God) complete freedom to minister! They sent letters home in advance asking permission for the kids to be involved in the meeting. Out of the whole school only 10 students were kept out of the assembly due to their parents wishes. At the end of the meeting around 500 kids came forward to make a statement that they were giving their life to God for Him to have & use. So powerful!
Upon exiting the school, one of the EJM members was stopped by a parent who said "Just so you know my daughter text me today during the school assembly to apologize for her behavior & how she treats me. She also said from here on out she is done messing around with drugs & alcohol - thank you!". Just an example of one of the lives that was forever changed! And not only the highschool student, but what a testimony to her mother.
But the goodness continues, after that school meeting, calls from other public schools began pouring in (I heard there were 10 schools interested in the surrounding areas, but I'm not positive) asking for us to come and deliver the full gospel instead of the usual "No mentioning God" policies that we have to follow in public school systems. Today we went back to the original school for another assembly to find that a few surrounding schools were sending their students over on buses so that they too could participate in the outpouring! 1500+ kids committed their lives to Jesus Christ today.
AWESOME things are happening in South Carolina!!! Please pray that these kids can sustain the relationship they have begun with Jesus, that it's not just a one time thing. Unfortunately we are not able to connect all these kids with a home church. But because true Christianity is first & foremost found in a relationship with Jesus Christ I personally am believing/praying that these kids were so impacted that they find themselves in their bedrooms weeping before His throne & buying Bibles to read on their own until they can find a church home. I'm praying that their parents hear the prayers coming from bedrooms all over South Carolina and what was first poured out in a school gymnasium will overflow into families/homes/communities. In Jesus' name.
The next school we went to had some issues with their pa system. Eddie just started singing "How Great is Our God" not knowing exactly how the students would react. Within no time at all the public school gymnasium was filled with students standing to their feet, raising their hands & singing along. The presence of God was ushered in! Not only were students impacted but the principal of the school himself got up & admitted that he had intended on telling Eddie to "turn down the religious stuff". However he felt so gripped by the Holy Spirit that he ended up asking Eddie to "turn it up" instead. Awakening is here! =)
Believe it my brothers and sisters! This generation is awakening to their need for God. Their hearts are crying out...WE WILL SHAKE A NATION FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!!!!!
