The Asbury Revival Spreads to at Least 24 More Universities

What started as a routine Wednesday morning chapel at Asbury University, in the small town of Wilmore, Kentucky, on February 8, is now on its “tenth day” of continuous worship, prayer, repentance, testimonies, Bible reading, and transformed lives.

Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

On Social media, live-streaming videos, and other wonders of the internet age, what is happening at Asbury is happening on a world stage as a mighty move of God.

People hungry for the move of God are flocking in person or online to Asbury’s Hughes Auditorium, the university’s gathering spot, or to the overflow locations at the nearby Asbury Theological Seminary’s Estes Chapel or McKenna Chapel.

Psalms 51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

The revival is spreading beyond Asbury to students at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, and at least 24 other universities are sending busloads of students to Asbury to see and participate in what God is doing there.

Psalms 80:19  Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

The Asbury Collegian has been contacted by people as far away as Brazil and Italy about the revival.

Asbury, with its approximately 1,600 students, is located about 16 miles southwest of Lexington, Kentucky, which is home to the University of Kentucky and its more than 30,000 undergraduates and graduate students, many of whom have been making the short trip to Asbury to join in the worship and prayer.

Psalms 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

There have been many who have repented. Asbury has been the scene of several revivals in its 132-year history, perhaps the most famous of which occurred in 1970 when students spent 144 hours in worship, prayer, and repentance following a chapel service.

On August 1800, Barton W. Stone started a meeting with several other Presbyterian ministers and Baptist and Methodist preachers. A large number of people, a crowd estimated at ten to twenty-five thousand, attended an extraordinary number, given that nearby Lexington, then Kentucky’s largest city, had a population of two thousand.

Under the influence of the Holy Spirit and preaching, the event produced many conversions, as well as physical signs of many people slain in the spirit. The milling crowds of hardened frontier farmers repented by crying out loud.

Revivals occurred in other parts of Kentucky in the summer and early fall of 1801, and their example led to revivals in neighboring states over the next few years. Cane Ridge remained the biggest.

James 4:8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Psalms 145:3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

Psalms 150:1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

Psalms 150:2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Psalms 150:3  Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Psalms 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Psalms 150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Psalms 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
