The Asbury Revival: Historian Mark R. Elliott Investigates

The remarkable revival at Asbury University in 2023 started with a routine chapel service. On that morning in February, a group of students chose to linger after their Wednesday hour of prayer, and so began a movement of the Spirit that didn’t cease for another two weeks. What started with spontaneous worship and calls to renewal in the lives of college students turned into tens of thousands of pilgrims making their way to a small town in the middle of Kentucky, which then spilled over onto campuses across America and awakenings across the globe. In Taken by Surprise: The Asbury Revival of 2023, Mark R. Elliott writes as the seasoned historian he is-diving into the what, when, and how behind the revival that may very well be the first of its kind in our digital era.

I remember Dr. Craig Keener talking about what was happening and there is no doubt in my mind, it was a move of the Holy Spirit. People have gone blind and deaf regarding Yahweh and Yeshua. He speaks and when He speaks it can often be a whisper but sometimes, just sometimes, it’s a shout, a roar

We hear "revival", but, what was it that the Holy Spirit taught, what was being said in the revival?

Artifical revival with the help of demons. (I hope this gets Posted)
