Dean Corné Bekker shared a profound explanation for why the Holy Spirit is irresistible.

Dean Corné Bekker

A dean from Regent University, Dr. Corné Bekker, visited the Jesus School in Orlando. The school was established by a Christian couple, Michael & Jessica Koulianos, from Jesus Image Church. The vision of the school was to raise up a generation of Jesus People who would impact the world for the glory of God. They invited instructors and guests such as Benny Hinn, Steffany Gretzinger, and many others to impart profound teachings about Jesus. During one of their sessions, Dean Corné discussed the power of the Holy Spirit.

He emphasized that the call of God is the most fundamental reality of life. According to him, individuals were called by name even before they were created, a concept clearly outlined in the scriptures. Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” He explained that God formed His people in their mother’s womb.

The Holy Spirit

Furthermore, he highlighted, “Before the creation of this world, the Holy Spirit Hovered over the face of the deep. The Holy Spirit hovered over us before our birth.” It was the reason why when people encountered the Holy Spirit, it felt as though it was not their first time. Their spirit remembered the Holy Spirit. People tend to yearn for the Spirit of God, akin to how dry land recalls the rain.

Moreover, he mentioned, “When you encounter the Spirit, your spirit comes alive, and you say, ‘Yes! This is who I’ve been longing for,” He believed that this was the reason why the Holy Spirit was irresistible to all people. For him, the Holy Spirit was enough.

Indeed, the Holy Spirit is powerful, and what is written in John 14:16 is true, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

Regent University In Ongoing Unplanned Prayer & Worship Gatherings For Weeks

After weeks of ongoing unplanned prayer and worship gatherings on campus, Regent University has decided to make room for revival by holding open prayer and worship gatherings.

New Great Spiritual Awakening?

Since the outpouring of the Spirit at Asbury University, many campuses across the United States have made space for revival to continue. Many Christians believe that what God began pouring out at Asbury is a “potential new great awakening within Christian history.” It has sparked hope among believers, many whom are praying that the revival in the 1970s could unfold again. According to the report, the 1970 Asbury Revival “was seen as a significant driver behind the Jesus Movement of the 70s.”

God Pursuing The Gen Z

Dr. Jeff Gossman, the Campus Ministries Director of Regent University, visited the Asbury Campus. And after he returned, he felt God wanted to pursue the heart of the younger generation.

“God is making known His claim on GenZ,” he remarked. “This generation has suffered so much loss due to the pandemic. This current outpouring is like their coming-of-age party, where Jesus says to them, ‘I see you. Welcome to the table.'”

Furthermore, Regent’s School of Divinity Dean, Dr. Corne Bekker, also felt the same prompting.

“This is their moment where God is getting a hold of (Gen Z) hearts,” he said. “Their eyes are opening, and they are surrendering their lives to Christ.”

Making Room For Revival At Regent University

As a result of revival spreading across America, believers in Regent University have also flocked to the campus chapel. According to CBN, unplanned gatherings have been taking place at the University. Additionally, more and more students are attending the weekly chapel service “over the past couple of weeks.”

“These gatherings – some up to six hours long – have been marked by humble worship, teaching of scripture, prayer, repentance, and spiritual renewal,” Regent University stated.

And because of these events, Regent University decided to make room for revival. They “will now be holding open prayer and worship from March 6th through March 10th in the Shaw Chapel on the campus,” CBN reported.
