I will tell you what was said for the reason, and I can say it was as they reported..I don’t necessarily agree. Are we ready for real revival..
The reasons given were,.. It had gone on for over a week.. I don’t remember exactly, but long enough for it to wear on those who worked in that town, keeping it going.
People were coming from all over the country. Stores could not handle the number. Restaurants could not either.. Every thing that had been going okay, became unmanageable.
The town and college agreed to end the revival.. To gain back some control over what had become a world happening.. They couldn’t handle it.
We ask for it and then aren’t prepared for It.
2023 Asbury revival
Feb 8, 2023 – Feb 24, 2023

Have you ever been in a position to pay close attention to the beginning of a much-needed rainstorm after a long drought?
First clue is a few raindrops falling. Then, after what seems like forever, finally, the pace picks up and the rain begins to fall in that steady, “nice heavy rain” drumbeat. Yay!!!
Then it suddenly stops. Doubt sets in: another disappointment.
That cycle repeats itself a time or two... each time, expectation (tempered with a little doubt) increases... “this rainstorm might just be real”...
Finally, FINALLY, the raindrops start again slowly but this time steadily build to a crescendo of sweet pouring-off-the-roof see-it-blowing-in-the-wind RAIN and you KNOW it is real and you praise GOD for it...
The Asbury revival was but one of those early brief teaser cloudbursts. Pray and keep the faith. Sweet latter-rain revival downpour is coming!
