A Modern Revival
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
On February 3, 1970, a revival broke out at Asbury University in Kentucky. It created a movement of God, and students stayed in the chapel for an extended period of time. In the late seventies, the Jesus movement began to spread.
Now, 53 years later, in the same month of February, a new awakening movement happened again at Asbury University. Many people traveled there, and the revival spread like wildfire. Other universities experienced this movement of God. It was exciting and thrilling to watch because Jesus Christ was being craved. If you listen to some of the testimonies of the students at Asbury, they just want more of the Lord.
Sometimes, revival hits an area and it's only located in a certain geographical area. Often when God begins to move, that appetite and longing for the presence of God begins to spread to different places. An awakening can happen and reach farther than you could ever imagine. It all starts with having a desire to know Christ and longing for Him.
God wants us to come into His presence and He wants us to desire that. There is a particular verse in Hebrews 10. It is the
only verse in the Bible where it says, “Go to to church.” Here is what it says,
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
You might ask, “Why is there only one verse in the New Testament that says, “Go to church, don't stop meeting together?” Here is the reason. Because believers who are following Jesus want to be with other believers. They have a desire; they have an appetite; they have a longing to be there because they think God will show up in an unbelievable way. They will sense His presence and God will speak to them. I want that for my life. I pray you will experience that in the coming days.

I love meeting with other believers. It would be wonderful for God to speak to us. I pray I will be listening for God to speak to me
We need the fellowship of believers. It's very important in our Faith and Trust in The Word of The Holy Father . PRAISE JESUS, GLORY TO GOD Almighty !
Thank you for mentioning the revival's from Asbury College. I am 62 and I can remember the Jesus Movement-I was part of it. Exciting-happy-amazing faith-we can have that again-I honestly miss the old time revivals. May we seek HIM!
