Asbury revival roundup: February 17 at 9:10PM. The meetings will move off the Asbury University campus.

John Fea   |  February 17, 2023 Leave a Comment

Read all of these posts , including the original post (covering Day 1 to Day 3 of the revival), here.

There is now a Wikipedia page.

The latest message from the Asbury University president. The revival meetings will no longer take place at Asbury University beginning February 24.

Mike Pence:

Deeply moved to see the revival taking place at @AsburyUniv! The Lord is at work at Asbury and Lives will be Changed Forever. To the young and old #AsburyRevival, God Bless You All & Praise the Lord! 🙌 https://t.co/M5OOeVESCA

And years later, while serving as Vice President, the ministry of @AsburyUniv reminded me again that even when it doesn’t seem like it, God is still working!
God Bless Everyone at #AsburyRevival!🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/ftkqfzw6nk

Was Tucker turned away?:

Best. Move. Ever. I saw his response, very gracious. Props to him and Asbury.

— Kathy CallahanHowell (@KCallahanH) February 18, 2023

Tucker actually PRAISED Asbury University for not letting him in. Normally he'd say something like, "We asked to be let in, but they were too afraid to allow it", but he knows who his audience is.

I wish he'd just stick to big stories that affect us all. That's his best work. https://t.co/HilZyfvYXO

Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis is covering the revival.

Christian recording artist Steve Camp:

I’ll take John Wesley‘s pursuit and dedication biblically to holiness any day of the week over what Asberry has become.

I have a dear pastor friend who’s on campus at Asbury right now. We joke a bit that he’s Wesley, I’m Whitefield. Bt we’ve served the Lord together for years!

Video of Wilmore. This guy wants to take things online with a group of “leaders”:

Interesting question:

If one visits Asbury but doesn’t post on socials about it, did they actually even go?

Max Lucado:

An “idolatry revival?”:

I think the distinction should be made between Asbury University and Asbury Seminary. 2 separate institutions with different stances on homosexuality. This man is an attendee at the seminary while the revival is taking place on the university campus.

Greg Laurie could not have asked for a better time for his movie “Jesus Revolution” to release. Here his take on the revival. And this:

Day three at Samford University

Cristiano and his Burmese friends are waiting in line to get in:

This is from D.C.-area megachurch pastor David Platt:

Rod Dreher of the American Conservative is trying to make sense of it all

The Tea Party Patriots

Dane Ortlund with a Gospel Coalition-ish response:

Zeke, an Asbury student, with another update:

A local church in Wilmore near Asbury’s campus is open for prayer:

A professor from Huntington College in Huntington, IN and an Asbury philosophy professor are trying to figure it out:

And their take:

Analysis of the Asbury Revival through the Lens of the Theological Quadrilateral: Scripture, Reason, Tradition and Experience

Here I am at Asbury with the bishop Todd Fetters and our Faculty Philosophy professor, Tedla Woldyehannis trying to figure this out.

Scripture: John 16:13, Acts 2, 8, 10, Galatians 3:2-3 …. Okay, okay this seems to square with the Bible.

Tradition: This happened in the 1740s with the First Great Awakening in America, led by preachers such as Jonathan Edward and George Whitfield. Later, in the early 1800s a Second Great Awakening took place in America, led by preachers such as Charles Finney, Billy Sunday, Francis Asbury and Lyman Beecher. This contributed to Abolition movement and the establishment of Christian colleges across America. … Okay, this seems to check the box.

Experience: How can I explain my experience to you? How can you understand my intuitive, extrasensory encounter with God? You had to be there. This also corresponds to the experiences of others who were there with me. …. Hmm. …. Okay, this passes the test.

Reason: Is there any logical reason why revival broke out at this time at Asbury? This was not preplanned or orchestrated by ministers, professors or anyone else. There was no famous speaker that started the revival. There still is no organization for what is happening in Kentucky. People are coming from across the country to be a part of this. Conclusion: God does not follow our plans. Who knows the mind of God? “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” John 3:8]

Speaking of Huntington–here is a busload of students on their way to Wilmore:

As Wesley put it, “strangely warmed” hearts:

With one of my best friends Pastor Andrew Singh next to the statue of John Wesley @ Asbury. Whatever is happening on this campus (we will only know by the fruit), I’m praying that the hearts of God’s people everywhere might be “strangely warmed.” pic.twitter.com/E30hNhkpWp

Charisma Magazine, the magazine of the New Apostolic Reformation, reports on the spread to Cedarville University and Samford University.
