I agree. What is interesting to me is how many hungry people are flocking to Asbury and waiting in line for hours. It sparks hope that there is a desire for revival.
Copied from Facebook:
Jesus has jumped all over me tonight. I’m an Apostolic Pentecostal and I’ve just witnessed something that I’ve never experienced before in my life….complete freedom in worship. Where the spirit of the Lord there is liberty and I’ve just experienced something that has changed me.
I’m used to 3 songs..2 testimonies…a sermon and we’re out the door and at the Mexican restaurant before you can say…Hello Dolly and I don’t mean that in a bad way but so many times as Christians we rush through our services and we miss out on…no telling what. Tonight I sit in a revival at 10:30 at night and it’s packed out AND there’s no end insight. There are 3 chapels on this campus and they are packed out too. The balconies and the front steps are packed out with people seeking God. The front lawn is packed. It’s insane…..and people are still pouring in.
There are no professional singers or piano players. They told us that. If someone felt led…they got up and sang. There is complete peace and order to it all. People are singing to the top of their lungs. Good singers and bad singers…all are singing together without the fear of who can sing better. Everybody is singing. It is so beautiful.
People are bawling. People are hollering. People are clapping. People are jumping. People are down in the floor praying and seeking the face of God. There’s no end to the praise and the repentance. I have never seen so many open bibles and so much sincerity in all of my life. I could feel a hunger that I’ve never felt before.
There’s no ‘programmed’ order to the service….it just keeps going and going. Nobody wants to leave. A man..a preacher kind of guy…an ex Jew he told he was….stood up and said to the congregation…WHAT IS HAPPENING??? It’s Jesus…he said. There’s no program. There’s no one telling anyone what to do. People are literally just standing and feeling after the presence of God. It’s goes from a hush to a roar.
I am utterly moved. I can’t believe that I’ve ever walked into my church and that at times I’ve been too ashamed to raise my hands and praise God. There has been pride in my heart. After all that God has done for me and to know that I’ve had pride in my heart….that’s awful. God help me do better. ��
There is complete freedom here. A woman standing beside me was singing to the top of her lungs…she was singing from her heart….it was so beautiful and all of the sudden she began to speak in other tongues. The hair stood up on me. I knew God had filled her with the Holy Ghost. She began to wail in the spirit.
The alter is open at all times. You can pray at anytime and somebody will pray with you. There is nothing rushed. They are waiting on the Lord. It’s amazing.
Asbury said if you’re here and you need a place to sleep they will find you a place to stay. There are literally 1000’s of people and they are helping people with whatever they need.
I experienced the LOVE OF GOD tonight and it’s powerful. It made me think about everything in my life.
Get in your car and come to the #asburyrevival. There are people from all walks of life….from every religion…dressed in all kinds of clothing….bawling and seeking God.
May God never ever let me be just religious and let me only seek after him and what’s pleasing to him. May his presence fall like rain in these last days. The Bible says that in the last days God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh…and he did tonight. He’s still doing it right now……����������������
I’m thankful to be in the truth.
I’m thankful for
Acts 2:38.
Can you imagine a prayer meeting that started last Wednesday night has turned into this?! It has went on for 24 hours a day and for 5 days now and there’s no end in sight.
