Asbury Revival

I'm just sitting back watching it.

I guess they are trying to do things decently and in order in some ways, but I'm not hearing anything about the gifts operating there. If people are going to make the claim that The Holy Spirit is there, well people should be getting born again, filled with The Spirit, and the corporate gifts should be operating. The Asuza street happening was documented as having a lot of similarities to Acts 2. Granted there was the falling out/slain in The Spirit stuff happening, but the filling of The Spirit and the gifts operating was front and center.

GOD does do things differently at different times, I do understand that, but if the Asuza street revival was following the template of Acts 2 in many respects, I expect GOD to do the same thing in other instances also.

Like I said, I'm just going to watch and see what happens.

Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.​

​

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.​

​

40 For he that is not against us is on our part.​

​

41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.​

Is it a revival? People are coming closer to Christ - they are repenting of their sins - they are experiencing Salvation.

Even if it doesn't line up with our preconceived notions of what revival should look like - God is being glorified, people are being saved. Everything else is personal opinion and .89 and my personal opinion is worth a senior cup of coffee.

Thank God for people hungry for Him and His Presence!

My mentor said more than once - go ahead and catch fire for the things of God, but don't be surprised at those who want to throw cold water on it.

The professor clarified that he was not calling for an end to the revival, but was rather "marveling" because of "logistical limitations and recognizing the transition that I think is already the leaders' direction. The point is not to shut down outpouring but to decentralize it and keep the focus on students."

Similar movements have reportedly spread to Christian campuses such as Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, and Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.

Asbury Revival: Professor calls for end to 'public phase' as school scrambles to address overcrowding

Asbury University is phasing out the public aspect of its on-campus revival as the small college town of Wilmore, Kentucky, is overwhelmed with tens of thousands of visitors.
