Re: What is a "Move of God"? Is it Bible or Cultur

The most sovereign move of God I've read about happened at a Baptist Bible college. Their little chapel service was closing as it typically does. However, one young man felt deep conviction from the Holy Spirit for His sins. The young man was overcome by the Spirit's conviction and he stood up weeping. He began to confess his sins openly, his hidden struggles, his hidden life. Weeping he pleaded for God to forgive him and change him. He apologized to staff and students for things he'd done and for bringing shame on Jesus Christ. As he weepingly confessed the staff and students began crying. When he was done confessing and lay crying on the floor, another student stood up and began confessing. Soon entire groups of students began confessing their sins and weeping together. Staff began confessing sin and weeping. Soon, nearly the entire gathering was on their faces weeping before God in sincere heartfelt repentance. The weeping and prayer continued for hours. The college decided to keep the chapel open for prayer instead of closing it, seeing that few had left the gathering. The move of God was so powerful they had to close the school and cancel classes. After several days, the local paper got wind of the issue and sent reporters. Once on the seen, they discovered that inside there were students and staff crying and praying for transformation, laying scattered on the ground... who hadn't left since the move of God began. Several reporters were even moved to repentance and accepting Jesus Christ.

This was a sovereign move of God. It was a tired ol' baptist chapel service. No fancy pants evangelist rolling in with a scheduled revival with a two to three week time frame. This was the real deal. A sovereign move of the Almighty God among Bible believers. A move that broke and humbled the staff and student body of a baptist Bible college.

Now, that's a sovereign move of God.
