UPDATE:
Over the past nine days, a powerful spiritual awakening has been ongoing at Southeastern University. Day and night, the campus has been filled with prayer and worship, testimonies of healing, repentance, and a deep awareness of the presence of God.
Some people have compared it to the Asbury Awakening from 2023. Now, SEU has announced that this sacred season is drawing to a close on Friday, 2/20.
SEU reports this “will be our final day of gathering in this format. It will be a time to celebrate all that God has done, share testimonies, and cast vision for the future of SEU as this outpouring becomes a season of pouring out what God has done here into the world.”

HOW IT STARTED:
This extraordinary move of the Holy Spirit first broke out at Florida’s Southeastern University (SEU) over a week ago. Some people have compared it to the Asbury Awakening from 2023.
It began during a three-day conference that started last Monday and was scheduled to end Wednesday evening. When speaker Jennie Allen called students to repentance, Campus Pastor Jonathan Rivera told CBN’s Billy Hallowell that things unexpectedly began to change.
“What she did was she asked students to confess sin publicly and as loud as possible. At first, we were kind of like, we don’t know how this is going to look or where it’s going to go, and students literally leaned in completely and started shouting as loud as they could, confessing sin, burdens, issues, all kinds of stuff. And after that happened, something shifted in the room, something undeniable happened that we all felt,” Rivera said.
Jennie Allen reported last week, “Two hours ago this was supposed to be over…we did a call to ministry, and almost the whole room stood up…I don’t know what’s happening.”
The university decided to make space for God to keep moving.
Rivera explained, “And then we canceled the lunch, and then we thought maybe we need to push back our breakout sessions. And then we canceled our breakouts. Then we thought maybe we need to push back our classes. And then we canceled classes because the worship wasn’t ending and something undeniable was happening. And so we just leaned into it.”

That time of worship, prayer, and confession continued for more than 24 hours. The students eventually had to leave the rented building they were meeting in, so they moved to the SEU campus chapel.
There have also been reports of physical healings, even among those watching the livestream from their homes. Campus leaders have been in touch with Asbury University seeking advice on how to “steward” the outpouring.
Leaders tell CBN News the daily services will continue as long as they sense this hunger in their students and the services remain focused on Jesus.
