>>The article said more than the young. That was just one of the examples.

I can’t find it in the article. Perhaps the mention of the woman’s husband, but there is no mention of age. All I see is students, high school, youth, young, etc.

These Azuza Street style revivals do eventually bring in other generations, but only near the end. I’ve read that the people said that the older people quenched the fire and caused the Holy Spirit to retreat. Is that how God works? Would he create this great revival and then withdraw when all the generations finally discover it?

Or is it like MySpace was a decade ago: it was cool until the parents started using it and then everyone moved on to something new.

Led by women? That wasn't a revival, just the start of a new cult.

Here it is:

It all started when Tennessee evangelist Matt Hartley visited a local church for what was supposed to be a three-day revival service but it just kept going. "This is not man-made, charismatic, hyper spiritual," Hartley told CBN News. "This is the presence of God that is overwhelming us, that is being released upon hungry people that are tired of just stagnant Christianity and "safe" church." "They want Jesus more than anything else. That's why they're here," he said. Hartley also spoke at the local high school where revival seemed to break out among the students.

I don't see this saying it is confined to students. I also know that the guy would not be permitted to give an evangelistic service at a school in the middle of the day.

They are using school gymnasiums because they are generally large, and are available for public use after hours. The "husband" item was also pointed out by you.

NO, I don’t believe that older people quenched the Holy Spirit and He moved on.

That’s just an excuse because what was happening was shown to be all show and little substance.
