Here's a biblical example where experiences are not as trustworthy as the word of God.
Even Peter stated that his experience on the mount of transfiguration was not as sure as the word of God. The word of God must be at the center of any revival. Singing is an emotional response, but cannot bring about change. Only the word of God can change hearts. Again, true revival stirs the hearts of the people where they go out and preach the gospel publicly and privately.

The Collegiate Day of Prayer is set for tomorrow and will be livestreamed from Asbury University. This is the culmination of what this "revival" has been all about. See this for the unbelievable and shocking reality: https://baptistnews.com/article/que...ondering-if-asbury-is-hosting-a-true-revival/.
According to this source:
The Collegiate Day of Prayer put out the following promotional video featuring Francis Chan on February 1, 2023. The description below the video says:
According to this source:
"Every February, faculty and students at Asbury University have one thing on their minds — revival. At their special two-hour chapel in Hughes Auditorium Feb. 3, 2020, they showed a documentary called 'When God Comes: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary' of the 1970 Asbury Revival."
This was in 2020 but it shows the revival mindset at Asbury.The Collegiate Day of Prayer put out the following promotional video featuring Francis Chan on February 1, 2023. The description below the video says:
"Let's ADOPT and saturate EVERY CAMPUS in America in prayer (go to http://collegiatedayofprayer.org to adopt a campus) and join us LIVE from Asbury University on Feb 23rd at 8-10pm ET with special guests Rick Warren, Francis Chan, Allen Hood and worship leaders from International House of Prayer, Circuit Riders + Black Voices Movement, and Met By Love Worship. Let’s believe God for REVIVAL amongst believers on college campuses and SPIRITUAL AWAKENING amongst the lost. Father, revive the saved and save the lost!!"
Asbury University was the designated location for this event from the get-go. Apparently, the "revival" was merely the warm-up act for the main show tomorrow.-

It was planned around the Collegiate Day of Prayer. Chan's video was posted February 1, way before the "revival" started. The description of the video shows Asbury was planned as the site for the event from the beginning. Just a coincidence that "revival" broke out leading up to February 23? A person would have to be pretty naive to think so. I wasn't there so I don't know the mechanics of how it actually got going, but there must've been a sense of expectancy in the air. It didn't just happen organically; at least I seriously doubt it did.

No matter where you stand on "Asbury Revival," yes, it is, or no its not. One thing that is good it has brought national attention to the church and Christians. And many people are returning to Church to see if the experience is there that is happening in Asbury.
I think we should not blow this opportunity. what do you all think?

Alot of these show great promise, however, once the emotional "high" wears off. Unless the people are in a proper discipleship relationship. many of these fall apart. Because the people get back in the world and the feeling is lost and they go back to what they were before.
Billy graham said one of the things he regretted the most was that he did nto make sure all these people at his conferences were taken care of after.. A new child of God sent out into the world would quickly crumble with no support.. I see no difference with people who were saved and come back..

A meeting isn't a revival. I've attended dozens of churches that say on the sign "revival tonight". They preach, they sing, we go home. May do it for three nights in a row. Mostly just the people from that church attend. This wasn't that situation. I think your evidence is clear to you, but my sister attended and I think I'll lean a little more on eye witness.

Not sure why people are up in arms.. Christmas and Easter are pagan Holidays the catholic church twisted into a christian holiday. Do we not worship these days because they are pagan? God works all things for the good my bible says,, He has used these pagan holidays for much good through the centuries. Who is to say he can't use this for good??

The holy spirit works and operates like fire and often times even comes in tge form of fire a spark is created a flame starts this is Gods doing he creates that sparks and a flame arises if the holy spirit is burning you dpnt douse it you fan it so it spreads.
If God is clearly using his holy spirit creating a fire that is spreading even as we speak and you just keep deny it's power and source your just trying to douse the flame and honestly as harsh as this may seem but when he is clearly at a mighty work here you continuously deny it and rejecting his work is a slap in the face to the holy spirit himself your not just quenching the spirit your calling him a dake
But in the end I just feel bad for you there are things xoming and things he is going to do that your going to miss out on you stay at a distabce when it comes to the spirit of God or anything spiritual of him and your first instinct is doubt skepticism you are fine with talking about the word of God but when it comes alove before your eyes you turn away you literally are just a scholar of the word and yet how blind you are to the word you have your knowledge of it but don't forget he is both spirit and truth you cannot have one without the other.
