I am in AWE OF GOD! I watch the Asbury revival on my computer and turn up the volume and weep, I have been on a……..I guess I would call it a ‘spiritual high.’ So excited and at peace at the same time. This is what long-time Pastor Don Kimbro wrote in his message here at FGGAM: “Oh, how we need our younger generation to come alive in the Spirit of God and teach and remind us older folks, that God is alive and far above our heralded denominational traditions. We need revival in our land more than ever. The best thing we can do, if we can’t go and be there, is to pray for the students and ask God to keep this Move growing and not allow recalcitrant hands from trying to stir the pot and take it over.” Pastor Don’s entire message Here
CBN REPORTS:
The revival currently taking place on the campus of Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky is being compared to the culture-changing revival at the same college in 1970, but there’s something different this time. The new non-stop prayer and worship awakening has social media as a powerful ally, and that didn’t happen in previous historic campus revivals.
The impact has already been so powerful that this ongoing Spirit-led event has drawn the attention of major media outlets. More Here
What Is Happening at Asbury University Wasn’t Planned—Is This the Start of Widespread Revival?
I love this message in The Gospel Coalition by Thomas S. Kidd. Mr. Kidd goes back into our history to give us a very good perspective of revivals in America! I beleive God is moving in America, I am weeping this morning with joy. I am watching this all from afar, I am in awe. Let God have His way with us all. I pray the doubters will come to beleive in the power of God. Real revival happens only when God moves. What is taking place across so many college campuses is of God, not man! Get out of the way! Be humble, drop to your knees and be revived! LISTEN FOR GOD! I also beleive what is taking place is a wake up call for the America Church! Think about that!
From Thomas S. Kidd:
The impressive reports of revival emerging from Kentucky’s Asbury University remind us colleges have always been central to the history of revival in America. Revivals have also been central to the history of American higher education. The First Great Awakening of the 1740s directly or indirectly produced several colleges—Princeton, Dartmouth, and Brown—that would become part of the illustrious “Ivy League.” The Second Great Awakening of the early 1800s produced even more institutions of higher learning than the First Great Awakening did.
How did these revivals happen? What were their characteristics? Did they produce enduring fruit, or were they just bursts of youthful exuberance with few lasting results? More Here
