From an associate pastor at North Cleveland…

I don’t know if you’ve heard about the meeting taking place at Lee’s stone chapel… I stopped by for about an hour this evening. It’s the real deal. God is at work.

Dr. Rickie Moore spoke up and said the Lord spoke to him in a dream to him about this over the weekend before it all started. One student made reference to the prophecy of Joel and said to Dr Moore, “Your dream is my vision.” Wow.

Many students have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, three people got saved just before I left, people testifying of deliverance taking place in their life, the washing of feet, there are charismatic expressions. The gifts of the Spirit are flowing. Many professors are there praying with students, Lee administration has been present, community members and local ministers are stopping in. Numbers keep growing.

This is what we have prayed for.

Days-long ‘spontaneous revival’ continues at Kentucky university

Around-the-clock prayer services that have lingered for a week at a Christian university in Kentucky have drawn national attention as participants have flocked nationwide to experience what some are calling a spiritual revival.

Students at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, have engaged in continual worship services in the school’s chapel since Feb. 8, which have reportedly been marked by prayers, worship music, testimonies, altar calls and religious conversions.

The movement began after students refused to leave following a chapel service last Wednesday, and the services have since grown to pack the school’s chapel with worshippers from all over the country, according to Christianity Today.

      Troy Day yes I knew that and Lee also followed Asbury in 1970. Why didn’t the spirit fall on the full gospel campus first especially since many think Asbury students don’t have the Holy Ghost or at least the Baptism of the HS

      Troy Day from testimonies of this thing that I’ve heard here is what is what has been said.

      It started out as a normal typical service. One of the student leaders spoke briefly or gave a short sermon. In his sermon he basically just started openly repenting of sin. Then others started openly repenting of sin, and they kept on worshipping. And didn’t feel like stopping. They all claimed to feel this sense of peace, inner healing and basically claim to feel the presence of God. And so they kept going and having stopped.

      This information is coming from the remnant radio video I posted yesterday. Whether or not anyone likes those guys or is irrelevant because Joshua Lewis is just sharing what he saw while he was there.
      He said that after a couple of hours someone will get on stage and give some house rules. He mentioned how they’re keeping this low key, doesn’t want people streaming worship and wants them involved in the worship or leave and let others in so that they can come worship. Also does ask that once someone has been there for more than 2 hours to please take a break and let others in. And then every so often they will stop the worship and ask if there is anyone who would feels that God is leading them to publicly and openly confess their sins. “We don’t need and long explanation just confess and then come down to the front for prayer”.
      Also some people have tried to bring in their own instruments and they’ve shut that down. There hasn’t been any manifestations of the spirit to speak of. He didn’t hear anyone loudly praying in tongues or see anyone falling out in the spirit.

      So in a nutshell, we have prayer, praising/ worshipping, public confession of sin.

      Also whenever someone confesses their sin the congregation all says at the same time, (something to the extent of) “your forgiven by the by the blood of Jesus”.

      So we have confession, repentance, and making Jesus center. There are no invited guest speakers. There isn’t one particular person leading.

      Is it a revival? I guess that depends on one’s definition of revival.

      Is it a movement of the Holy Spirit? I would say yes.

      This event wasn’t planned it just happened.
      One key note. On February 23rd. Many Christian college campuses planned on doing a 24 hour national prayer meeting. Asbury was one of the student bodies that was supposed to participate. Perhaps maybe the Lord decided to get them started a little earlier.

      I find it odd in the discussions that I’ve seen, so many Pentecostal spiritual leaders are “parsing” what they expect the revival to be. And if it’s not adding up to what they think, they are ready to “reign it in…?” 

      Some pastors tend to be a control freaks. The history of revival shows us that genuine fire always seems to spin off into some wild fire. We must ask ourselves,
      ‘Do we want control without any wild fire or are we willing to “risk” a move of God even if some misinterpret it or get into the flesh?’

      Duane L Burgess or that so many of the Pentecostal scheduled camp meetings/revivals. Duane as I keep posting pray for what is going on but wait before any commentary on if it is from God. My sincere desire is that it is. I have been on the campus of Asbury University (college) and I have felt a glorious spirit of holiness and glory of the Lord. Much more than across the street at the seminary. — Luke 13 7So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ 8‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’ — We need to fertilize those kids by prayer instead of all these “experts” doing videos with their advice giving to God and fund raising from man. Shame on any who watch or contribute to such quacks.

      Troy Day Give it time. I am happy that people in churches, on forums and on the news are talking about it. I believe that shows a start of a revival. I think that many copy cat schools are doing it as a fad, but even in a fad Christ can become real to many. I hate that many so called leaders will try to hijack it for their glory. My question is why didn’t it start with them. I also ask that of all the modern day so-called full gospel people and schools. Why did it start at a school which they consider not having the fullness of God and God had left them. I think this should be talked about. Right Dale M. Coulter and associates.

      I would rather concentrate on Asbury and not the copycats although they may have caught the spark. I am glad that some are enjoying the presence of the Lord and not just discussing things about religion or church. I trust that the original falling at Asbury is that and leave out the copycats for now.

      John Mushenhouse I know that some people like to draw divisions between the larger Wesleyan movement and Pentecostalism as though the latter didn’t emerge from the former but that’s ahistorical. In its early days, Asbury (and Henry Clay Morrison) was publishing the Pentecostal Herald. Across the river was God’s Bible School where William Seymour probably sat on some classes under Martin Wells Knapp. It’s all one movement with Methodist, holiness, and Pentecostal streams. Asbury happens to represent both the Methodist and holiness streams.

      As for all the people wanting some doctrinal purity, I would love to survey the folks at your churches. People are people. Life is messy. The churches that can make a legitimate claim to fidelity to their confessions are usually small and tightly controlled.

      As for those who want results in less than 1 week, I would say wake up and realize how much your mentality has been formed by the age of tech. You want it fast and pure in the same way that Troy sents out his daily updates via email, etc.

      I’m not trying to be snippy, but I think there is a lot of unnecessary critique and criticism at this stage. And, unfortunately, a lot of it is just ahistorical. What I witnesses at Lee was faculty and administrators on the wings allowing students to pray, sing, and read from scripture. That was the rhythm of it. And, God was there.

      Many criticisms are not rooted in an examination of what has actually happened on the ground at many revivals. Revivals are always messy–always. And, they almost always begin in prayer meetings. We are in the prayer meeting stage but because of social media people are blitzing it out.

      I just mentioned on FB that before Azusa was Azusa, there was a prayer meeting in the Asberry home on Bonnie Brae St for over three weeks–three weeks!! People asking for longterm effects of an event that is only 1 week old are being completely unrealistic. In fact, I would suggest that you have a theology that is overly dictated by a misguided view of the supernatural as though God is simply superimposing his will on everyone. Sorry, but I’m a synergist.

      So, yes, John, give it time.

      John Mushenhouse Lee did not catch anything. We have to stop thinking about the Spirit as some sort of virus leaping from one place to another. Lee students who had been hungry and praying saw what happened at Asbury. They decided to imitate the students there and begin a 24-7 prayer meeting. Others have joined in. That’s what is happening. I suppose you can call it “copy cats” but I would suggest that this is how revival spreads. Something breaks out somewhere and it ignites spiritual hunger in others. This usually has two responses. Some travel to the original outbreak while others start their own prayer meetings. Sometimes it’s both. We know some Lee students went to Asbury.

      Look, I don’t want to make more about what is happening at Lee than is. It’s definitely not anywhere close to what is happening at Asbury. Will it be? Who knows? I prefer to say it’s a prayer meeting right now. But, it’s having a positive impact on the Lee community and the surrounding areas. People are starting to travel for evening services that are packed.

      Where I do agree is that we should not compare Asbury and Lee along spiritual lines. We can talk about more numbers, longer time in existence, one is the first and the other is not, etc. But, when I’m studying early Pentecostalism, I don’t say that what happened at the Mukti Mission in India or the Hebden Mission in Toronto is qualitatively inferior because neither were close to Azusa in size and impact.

      John Mushenhouse Your question was about whether Pentecostals should address the fact that this started at Asbury and not some Pentecostal school. I addressed it by referring to a common history. You can accept that answer or not, but it was an answer. I did not sidestep anything.

      I could talk about the fact that there has been a lot of historical cross-fertilization since the healing evangelists, the latter rain, and the charismatic movement. But, you don’t want me talking about history so. . .

      It’s just too simplistic to even frame the question that way. So, Randy Clark’s ministry has been steadily moving into Methodist circles, including United in Ohio and Asbury. Can we really make such hard and fast divisions? Craig Keener grew up AG and is now at Asbury. There is plenty of cross-fertilization going on to explain a lot of this.

      One more example: Asbury just hired Emilio Alvarez who grew up in the Church of God and who’s father is still a bishop in our denomination. He is a Pentecostal who is highly liturgical. Winfield Bevins who is Anglican and has been at Asbury for several years grew up Church of God. He published on John Wesley with our denominational press (Pathway).

      Again, there is a ton of cross-fertilization happening behind the scenes. I refer to it as the Pentecostalization of American Christianity. One of the major historians of the Black church in the U.S. has said that by 2050 at least half will be Pentecostal or charismatic. That’s huge.

      Dale M. Coulter sure Dale. I have read such as Conn and Wade Phillips about the CoG, but I got more from who I consider a legit man of God. You were likely taught by Elmer Odom. He was a saintly man and knew early church of God history. I was able to interview many around Cleveland, but that was over 40 years ago and most are in heaven. I understand some about Azusa Street as I had a friend who was the daughter-in-law of one of the founders. We spoke a lot of the early days of Pentecost, From Topeka, to Houston, to LA and Chicago. It is just so many think that those who stopped at the Holiness revival are not fully with God. I dispute that fully. Where I don’t care for what has come out of ATS (personal experience) since the early 60s, I have a fondness for Asbury College (U). I have always felt the presence of God when walking on the campus. I felt it in the cemetery at Wilmore reading the tombstones of the saints like HC Morrison. I am glad the power has fallen at Asbury for to me, getting people to pray is a revival. Perhaps not like the Jesus people led by my Pastor Chuck, which resulted in verse by verse Bible studies and actual going outside walls and witnessing of the Gospel, but as Luke 13 says fertilize it. IMy hope is that Lee College will be fertilized and not exploited by those hoping to show that the CoG and Lee is still relevant today. I don’t trust some of the denom. leaders and larger church Pastors. Anyway I rejoice that people are seeking praying and talking about the Lord.

I am grateful to Dr. Charles Conn for including in the 1st ed. of Like a Mighty Army this extremely significant footnote #7 (on p. 107), which embodies the stories of all ministers out there who regardless of personal struggles, difficulties and temptations take the pulpit each Sunday morning in faithfulness and preach the Gospel of Life sending another good hit into the lines of the enemy. I have it from a good source, that after your Sunday service the devil was again seen in the phone booth dialing 911…

We simply cannot underestimate how deeply this impacts Christian identity; 2) the rise of lay movements occur in the west because it’s largely still developing political forms.

    John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Oxford graduate, an Anglican priest, and led the “Holy Club” where they prayed for three hours a day to try to be a better Christian. He even became a missionary to the Native Americans in Georgia.

    On October 14, 1735, John and his brother Charles Wesley departed England for Savannah aboard the Simmonds.

    On February 6, 1736 he landed on what is now Cockspur Island. Wesley records,

    “About eight in the morning, we first set foot on American ground. It was a small uninhabited island, over against Tybee. Mr. Oglethorpe [founder of Georgia] led us to a rising ground where we all kneeled down to give thanks. He then took boat for Savannah. When the rest of the people were come on shore, we called our little flock together to prayers.”

    According to a marker, Wesley preached to his shipmates his first sermon in America, on this uninhabited island. Other historical markers will differ, but as this island was uninhabited, it’s safe to say this was not his first sermon to Americans.

    On Saturday, February 7th, he would have an interesting conversation with a Moravian pastor:

    Mr. Oglethorpe returned from Savannah with Mr. Spangenberg, one of the pastors of the Germans. I soon found what spirit he was of and asked his advice with regard to my own conduct.

    He said, “My brother, I must first ask you one or two questions. Have you the witness within yourself? Does the Spirit of God bear witness with your spirit that you are a child of God?”

    I was surprised, and knew not what to answer.

    He observed it and asked, “Do you know Jesus Christ?”

    I paused and said, “I know He is the Saviour of the world.”

    “True,” replied he; “but do you know He has saved you?”

    I answered, “I hope He has died to save me.”

    He only added, “Do you know yourself?”

    I said, “I do.” But I fear they were vain words.

    On February 14th, some native Americans came to him. Tomo Chachi said,

    “I am glad you are come. When I was in England, I desired that some would speak the great Word to me and my nation then desired to hear it; but now we are all in confusion. Yet I am glad you are come. I will go up and speak to the wise men of our nation; and I hope they will hear. But we would not be made Christians as the Spaniards make Christians: we would be taught, before we are baptized.“

    Marker Inscription:

    On February 6, 1736, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, landed at Peeper (now Cockspur) Island near here and there preached to his fellow voyagers his first sermon on American soil. A monument has been erected on Cockspur Island to commemorate the event.

    Sent to Georgia by the Trustees as missionary, Wesley was the third minister of the Established Church in the colony. He preached in the scattered settlements of Georgia, journeying thither by boat and over Indian trails. Wesley returned to England in 1737 after differences with his parishioners. “I shook off the dust of my feet and left Georgia,” he wrote, “having preached the Gospel there (not as I ought, but as I was able) one year and nearly nine months.”

    it was my concern from the start Dale M. Coulter John Mushenhouse THAT the pro gay setup @ asbury and politics @ lee will shut down ANY genuine revival AND now Brett Dobbs has broken the NEWS

    Still, progressive Christians like Tim Whitaker at The New Evangelicals have essentially endorsed the “revival” after his visits to the chapel this week. Moreover, he says LGBTQ students at the school told him the university protects them from “conversion therapy”. According to Whitaker, the LGBTQ students who were “worshipping” at the chapel also say they’re especially hopeful the “revival” will create (progressive) change at the school.
