I hate to say it, but as I've been following this the last few days it seems to me that it's basically a Charismatic spectacle. Not at the level of Lakeland or Toronto but Charismatic nevertheless. This doesn't surprise me; it shows how far the Charismatic tentacles have reached into the body of Christ. I'm sure I'll get a lot of blowback for saying this; it's just me opinion.
Well FOX News was heading there last night to report on it today. Asbury contacted them and asked them not to come. They said they didn't want the services disturbed. They said no political candidate was running, and they simply didn't want tv cameras there. If it was just a spectacle, they'd be all over that.
I don't know about phones,whether not they have asked it not to be filmed. Kind of hard to keep it totally banned. But big media, they turned them down.
37 And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen; 38 saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
There are a lot of claims that people are repenting and getting saved. If that's true, there are a couple of things I'd look for. Is anyone getting baptized? The reports I've heard say no, no baptisms at this point. I'd like to see everyone who has genuinely repented to gather all their books by worldly celebrity Christian authors and burn them in a bonfire.
Can FOX News even be trusted any more to report accurately and fairly? Another MSM news source. So they have Tucker Carlson, but he pulls his punches.
Rupert Murdock Wanted Top FOX News Hosts to Come Out and Claim Biden Won
Yeah, the faculty said it's time to wind it down. Next Wednesday is the last day open to the public, then Thursday is the final day at Asbury; but it sounds like other places have offered to host ongoing services starting Friday:
"As part of Asbury’s intention of encouraging and commissioning others to 'go out' and share with others what they have experienced, evening services will be hosted at other locations and no longer held at Asbury University. We encourage guests to utilize these other designated facilities for worship and gathering. More information will be shared."

As we end this week and approach the next, I write to openly share important campus updates and new plans that have been established.
As an Asbury University leader, there is a tension I am trying to faithfully navigate at this time. On one hand, I humbly recognize we are experiencing a historic moment on our campus. Never in my life have I witnessed such manifest spiritual hunger—from our students to the nations—to humble ourselves and seek the Lord’s face. Books could be (and will be) written recounting the incredible stories and experiences of inspiring humility, altar consecration, neighborly love, and life-changing commitments. When I walk into Hughes Auditorium, I have a firsthand picture of the fruit of the Spirit.
As a university, our first commitment is to foster the minds and hearts of students who have been entrusted to us and who are central to our mission. We know the last week has been a disruption to the continuity of their academic experience. Students have not only had to juggle various campus commitments (academic, athletic, extra-curricular, internship) with our various campus services, but also the throngs of people who have entered the dimensions of their space. For some, this has created a sense of being unsettled and even alienation from their campus community.
While I remain profoundly grateful that staff, faculty, and students get to be a part of God’s unique and powerful work on our campus, I want to be mindful of my mandate as a fiduciary of Asbury’s resources and student-centric mission.
After much prayer and discussion with campus leadership, I am announcing our new schedule for the next week. This schedule is an attempt to recognize and steward this beautiful, historic moment of spiritual renewal while quickly moving toward a more sustainable campus experience for our students that fosters predictability, well-being, and continuity.
Along with a new schedule, we are working with several groups to increase security, prayer and ministry support, event management, and overall logistical planning.
I have been so inspired and encouraged by the life-transforming renewal experienced by students and guests alike. I have also been deeply inspired by the incredible spirit of our Asbury staff, faculty, and students. I have seen men and women go far above and beyond in every way imaginable to accommodate our visitors so they can encounter the Lord on our campus. I have seen faculty and staff work between classes to bring order, usher lines, pass out water, and pray with students. I have had students share their desire to make space for guests to experience what they have.
Never in my life will I forget this. Never in my life have I been so proud to say that I am a part of Asbury University. I write this with tears. The people here are so special.
Thank you for your patience, and thank you for lifting up our school, our mission, and our students in prayer.

Ya'll correct me if I interpret this scripture incorrectly.
1Thess 5:19
"Quench not the Spirit."

Trump would retake the White House in 2020, for starters. Another guy, Dana- something, was "prophesying" some kind of disappearance of the president, along with financial collapse before the 2020 elections. "Financial collapse" as in we need to remove our money from our investments before we lose it all. There were many more like these.
