Takeaways from the Asbury College Revival
Share
A small Christian college located in Kentucky is making the headlines. This college is experiencing a revival that has looked like several days long, continual prayer and worship that does not appear to be coming to an end anytime soon. There is precedent for revival at Asbury as the campus experienced a divine moment in 1970 as well.
The call to action as we watch what is going on at Asbury is to pray that many would find the hope of Christ through the young generation. Join with those praying that this move of the Holy Spirit would spread across our country. That other colleges and universities would experience God’s tangible and healing presence in their midst in an undeniable way. Pray that churches would also see God move in their midst as well. Continue to pray for protection over these students and the campus. Don’t let this humble movement of worship turn into something that it was never meant to be. Keep it pure, and let God’s heart of love be what is shared through this movement.
Revival historically has been a way to reignite the church. Especially when people have felt that things have gone wrong or something has been lost. Many sense that American Christianity is struggling and lost its way. So many prominent leaders are falling into scandal and sin. Political issues divide the church. A departure from Biblical truths across denominations. There is hope in this revival to get back to Jesus in a profound and experiential way.
These moments are an invitation to the church and the younger generation to experience God. To move beyond the bounds of church and religion, and just meet their Maker. There is a window into Heaven in these gatherings that allows people to feel God’s spirit in a special way. While the choice to remain faithful to the change that is felt in the moments of revival, these social movements of faith historically have led to real change in the church and the lives of individuals.
We can cheer on this movement and ask that God touch many so that his love is known by more. God has historically done mighty, life-changing work through revival movements. Let the Asbury Revival be another chance to hear God’s voice, feel his spirit, and respond with obedience.
