It’s Not About Me: It’s About a Great Awakening in America
My vision for seeing a Great Awakening in America is to mobilize our Southern Baptist leaders and churches to reach the world for Jesus Christ.
I want nothing in my life to stand in the way of seeing this done. Since 1995, the message of spiritual awakening has burned in my soul deeply.
It’s not about me
Over this past eighteen months, I have sensed deeply that God is raising up a desperation within the people of God again, to believe Him for the next great move of God in our nation. This vision is much bigger than me in every way and I want nothing to stand in the way of anyone hearing the call and joining in this moment.
It’s about a Great Awakening in America
As Christ-followers experience moments of spiritual revival and the church experiences seasons of God’s refreshing Spirit and power, I believe God may choose to extend His grace by raising up regions, sections, or even the entire nation, to experience a God-consciousness that moves us into a season of seeing millions in our own nation come to Christ. History demonstrates that movements like this in the past become global in their reach and effectiveness.
May we live to see the day when this occurs, so that we can be a part of seeing every person and people group in this world hearing that Jesus Christ is the only Way, the only Truth, the only Life, and there is no way to God the Father and Heaven itself, except through Him.

We would like for everyone to join this prayer movement of Southern Baptists via a newly created domain where people will register their support and involvement: pray4awakening.com. If you have joined this movement already, you are still registered and do not need to sign up again.
However, from this point on, people will join this prayer movement by signing up at pray4awakening.com.
There are only three things we are asking people to pray for with us on pray4awakening.com.
- Great Awakening in America
- Reach the World for Christ
- Call to Columbus, June 16-17, 2015
While I have clarified the importance of the first two, the call to Columbus, Ohio, on June 16-17, 2015 is critical to the other two. This is where our SBC family will come together this year to celebrate what God is doing in our 46,000 churches and through their Great Commission mission and ministries that we accomplish together through our cooperate efforts as Southern Baptists. Prayerfully, this gathering will be so powerful that each of us by the thousands will be launched from Columbus to see the world reached for Christ.
This is why I am asking all of us to join this movement of prayer on pray4awakening.com. It’s all about a Great Awakening in America. Please join us today at pray4awakening.com.
Yours for the Great Commission,
Ronnie W. Floyd

Praise God for this amazingly timely piece by Prez Ronnie, a man I have admired deeply since Stand in the Gap (Promise Keepers) 1997!! 🙂 Amen!
As a prayer warrior and the leader of the Illinois State Capitol National Day of Prayer here in Springfield, as well as God Belongs in My City (GBIMC) Springfield, prayer has been my primary calling. As a student of Revival, this could not be more in sync with one’s calling. While we are small in our numbers (compared to the vast body of believers), we can do what we can do in our own sphere to move the Ekklesia towards where God wants us to encamp – in His Holy Presence. I join with Pastor Ronnie here in all these things and will be linking all these events listed above, for Awakening, in the near future.
Thank you again for this message, my brother and may the Lord guide, protect and direct you into the paths of all righteousness and into that which you should go as our fearless leader, through Jesus Christ the King and our Commander in Chief, amen.
