Last week I posted about the revival at Asbury College in Kentucky. A one hour worship service ended up continuing for 2 weeks, uninterrupted, because people didn't want to leave. It is estimated that 30,000+ people from around the surrounding area and from around the country visited to be a part of what was happening there. The main service was suspended this week due to issues the crowds were creating for the town of 6000. The movement made me want to find out what happened to cause it. Reports I have read say that the service was student led. There were no well-known preachers invited to speak, and no celebrity musicians were allowed to participate. The 2-week service from that respect was in a word - unremarkable. But almost all of the first-hand reports state that God's presence was palpable. The combined power of prayer, worship and confession was something that only He could orchestrate. My prayer is that those that were there are able to carry it back to the places where they live, and that the same spirit of revival takes root in me and the people that God puts in my path. Please pray for revival.
