10X is our pursuit of God’s vision for NewPointe, turning up the spiritual temperature in search of personal revival. We believe we have the potential to spark an awakening in our broken world, and every awakening shares a common beginning: A group of people fully surrendered to God, with immense will and commitment to do whatever is necessary to push past the boundaries of the possible and witness the impossible.
10X means to accelerate and think bigger–not about achieving more, but about becoming more: the best version of you, the person God created you to be. If you chase 10X, you’ll develop a growth mindset that allows you to push through obstacles and overcome challenges. To learn how you can be part of this incredible journey, watch the video and take a bold step into our future!
Revival movements are historical events where God's presence, grace, and power lead to transformation. These awakenings often occur during times of cultural upheaval and personal stress, when people lose faith in societal norms and leadership. Revivals happen with regularity, roughly every 50 years, and have the power to re-energize faith. By studying past movements, we can prepare for the next great revival, which might be just around the corner. Check out more details below on five of the most impactful revival movements in American history and what we can learn from them.
In the early 1700s, church attendance had dropped significantly, and many were indifferent to faith. George Whitfield, a dramatic preacher from England, arrived in America and began holding open-air meetings that attracted thousands. His bold, energetic style drew huge crowds, and church attendance soared from 14% to 55%. Whitfield’s methods broke tradition, focusing on God as a merciful, personal figure, not a punishing one. This revival demonstrated the power of innovative approaches to reaching the masses and reignited faith.
By the 1800s, church attendance had fallen again, with only 6% of Americans attending. At Cane Ridge in Kentucky, the Spirit moved unexpectedly, with people shaking and falling under its power. The revival attracted 20,000 people and sparked the Second Great Awakening. Preacher Charles Finney spread this fervor to urban areas, leading to a wave of conversions and social reforms, including the abolition of slavery. Awakenings often impact both spiritual and societal change.
Jeremiah Lanphier, a businessman in New York City, felt a deep burden for the people around him during a time of economic crisis. He began hosting weekly lunch-hour prayer meetings, and though it started small, it quickly grew. Soon, the meetings spread nationwide, with an estimated 1 million people attending, bringing spiritual renewal across the country. Lanphier’s radical obedience sparked revival, showing that even small acts of faith can lead to transformation, reminding us that one person’s obedience can spark a movement.
William Seymour, an African-American pastor, began prayer meetings in Los Angeles despite rejection from local churches. The meetings grew, moving to a dilapidated building on Azusa Street. Thousands gathered, experiencing supernatural encounters like healings and speaking in tongues. The revival, known for its racial inclusivity and powerful encounters with God, eventually sparked a global Pentecostal movement. Azusa Street proved that awakenings are born from prayer and often come with personal sacrifice.
During the Vietnam War, young people turned to faith, seeking answers to life’s uncertainties. New ministries like YoungLife and Campus Crusade for Christ targeted teens and college students, while Billy Graham filled stadiums with his evangelistic crusades. The Jesus Movement, fueled by youth and countercultural energy, became one of the most influential revivals of the 20th century. This movement showed that spiritual awakenings often emerge through unconventional means, especially when led by younger generations.
The 10X Awakening series invites us to launch into a deeper relationship with God through prayer and active participation in His mission. It challenges us to move beyond just knowing about God, urging us to put our faith into action. Just like the historical revivals, it’s about awakening a passion for God’s will in our lives and in the world. As we pursue 10X, we embark on a journey that fuels spiritual growth and empowers us to reach new heights, discovering the limitless potential of a life fully devoted to God.
