Revival at Asbury in the age of Social Media

The Revival, currently taking place at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, is being compared to the culture-changing revival at the same college in 1970, but there’s something different this time.

Social media has drawn a worldwide audience to the Asbury Revival to witness what is happening through live feeds plus firsthand accounts, photographs, and videos, with many of these posts going viral.

People even travel thousands of miles to the Kentucky campus to participate in the revival after seeing viral videos on social media.  “It has absolutely been social media that is the mechanism that people found out about this,” said Asbury University’s vice president of communications.

What’s happening at Asbury is being called a move of God, the real deal, for multiple reasons. There’s no high-profile leader who, most of the time, Quench the Spirit of God by getting in the way of God

1 Thessalonians 5:19  Quench not the Spirit.

Nothing glitzy or worldly like projection screens or fancy lighting. Just persistent prayerheartfelt worship, an open altar call, and people hungry for God.

Many people are asking if this is a revival. Sure, it’s a revival, and if you don’t understand this, you need to go there and be revived.

The gathering has all the right attributes to be called a RevivalReading of Scripturespraying, testimony, repentance, salvation, and spreading to other places as the Spirit sees fit. It has already spread to more than 24 universities.

1 Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

Hashtagged with the words “Asbury Revival,” it draws millions of views. There are more than 1,000 videos currently circulating on the site. On TikTok, the same hashtag had more than 24.4 million views as of Wednesday.

Social media has spread the happening of this Revival of the Holy Spirit around the world to people who hunger in the hearts and minds of God.

No big lights or big media, Fox TV was going to come down and tape the meeting Friday, and the leaders of Ashbury asked them not to. Besides the regular three hours of weekly live-streaming from the chapel, all of the videos seen online have some from people participating in the service.

Classes have continued at the school, but the University President said that the faculty is “being very flexible and understanding if students would rather be at the chapel than in class.”

A contributing writer to The Christian Post tweeted: “The atmosphere thus far seems sincere with many praying outside in the chapel lawn with all sanctuaries on campus full.” This is a ‘fresh wind of revival’ for America and the world. Let us not miss our chance to be renewed to our first love with Jesus!”

This Revival will go on if the devil deceives no leader at the university and quenches the Spirit.
