The Holy Spirit ignites mini revivals like this in gatherings of the Saints all over the world - everyday. We receive stories from individuals on a weekly basis. However, Asbury hit the front pages of news, while millions of other movements of the Spirit remain in isolation. I believe the Spirit indeed manifested in the initial group. I am watching closely. Modern Christians tend to replicate such glorious movements without an actual initiation of Christ Himself. In either case, authentic believers benefit from true worship in the privacy of their homes to that of a church gathering. As Billy Graham told my mentor, "Out of all the crusades I conducted, I estimate 2% of the attendees experienced true salvation." The point being - in large gatherings, most follow the movement verses having their lives transformed. My litmus test is always in watch for the fruit. This is what I am doing with the news of this "revival."
Stephen, looking forward to your comments on the events unfolding at Asbury University.

I pray you compose a new post about this. Your thoughts and godly insight need to get out there.
