The time is right for a powerful Holy Spirit revival. So many young people (and adults) are so confused.
On a personal lever, I believe I have felt the Holy Spirit moving in my life lately (it's hard to explain). When I first heard about the Asbury revival, my immediate thought was, "that's exactly what I have been feeling lately...this intense urge to pray and pray hard." It even makes me emotional at the oddest of times (and I'm not prone to such). I wonder if other Freepers have had the same experience?
There's no doubt that He is needed right now. Things look pretty bleak.
Our society is crumbling and I'm sure young people in college are particularly aware of how desperate and hopeless things look.
It would be wonderful to see the Holy Spirit fill up the emptiness in the lives of Americans right now. I sure can visualize it. What a wildfire it would be.
For the past two Sundays our Bible preaching minister has reported on the Asbury Awakening and asked us to pray that it would continue and spread over the land even to our little rural corner of Texas. Had never seen him as emotional as he's been in those two sermons.
“And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams' Acts 2:17
>>”that’s exactly what I have been feeling lately...this intense urge to pray and pray hard.”<<
Lost that feeling many years ago. God hears prayers of those He favors and ignores the rest.
For the past 5 months I’ve felt the need to pray so much more than I had been. It’s like the Lord has been drawing me more to prayer and reading the Bible for most of the day. Other activities have been set aside. I’m on a seasonal layoff at work, so that has helped keep me focused more on seeking God and His will, and also intercessory prayer.
Yes. I feel the same.
I can’t get down on my knees anymore (arthritis) but I pray in all other positions and at random, day and night.
These kids at Asbury are an inspiration.
1 Corinthians 3:4-9 niv 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings? 5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Yes, I have had those same deep feelings of grief and joy since Asbury...and a kind of grieving for the nation especially over the exploitation sexually of our children by ruthless socialist woke persons. Everything is out of kilter and we are about to be slammed hard. The nation’s Christians need to be prepped for it for Christ is our only hope to get out of the chaos we are in.
