One year ago this week was the Asbury Revival in Wilmore, Kentucky. It was a 16-day worship service in the Hughes Auditorium, attended by 15,000+ people with 50,000+ trying to attend. I had the privilege to drive down there three times, with one being before 5 am. Our church's youth group was able to attend one evening as well.
One year later, the Asbury Revival will be something read about in Christian history books, just like the one there in 1970.
What do we learn from movements of God such as last year's revival?
First, movements of God are real. No where in the Bible does it indicate that revivals and outpourings of the Holy Spirit have ceased. We don't want to have a critical spirit, you do want to make sure any revival lines up with Scripture. From what I witnessed at Asbury, it did.
Second, we celebrate new life in Christ. Many people turned to the Lord during the Asbury Revival and Christians are thankful for God saving people today. Revivals are one of many ways to practice proclamation evangelism.
Third, there still remains a spiritual hunger. God has created all people with a desire for Him (Genesis 1:26). Our world will offer everything to fill this hunger. Being made in the image of God means only God can meet our deepest need, we were created and find purpose for Him.
