What a beautiful visit! I especially loved the "live" illustration on true worship that his student recognized from class🎶❣🎶

Great interview!!! I love hearing straight from the source!!! I am so excited to see what God is doing at this place, and I believe that it will spread like a wildfire!!!

Great interview! Dr. Powers was the perfect guest to report on this. BTW I grew up going to “revivals” in the ‘70s. These were planned events, usually a week of nightly worship services with guest preachers. The best were “tent” revivals held under a literal big tent. I remember revivals at our little UMC, where the entire congregation was kneeling, praying, crying and testifying. That was an awesome experience that seems rare these days. I praise God for the students and faculty at Asbury!

Praise God for this outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon these young people! Yes, their life experiences may be different from our own experiences, but I do believe God is touching these young people in way they want to live for Him. I see young people on these videos, loving God with all their heart, soul and minds. God loves them and asks us to do the same. Loving God IS REPENTENCE!!!!

I was at a similar move of God at Houghton College, a Wesleyan Methodist College (now University) as a freshman in 1959. It started in a similar way after a Chapel Service. I don't remember what the speaker asked or said, but someone confessed sin in their lives and asked God for forgiveness, then, one after another, students began doing the same thing. This move was a CONFESSION OF SIN AND ASKING GOD FOR FORGIVENESS. This was the essence of the whole "revival". I don't hear this from the professor. He talks of "love" ONLY! By the way, I am a graduate of Asbury Seminary in 1965. I just wonder if it's the same Asbury in Spirit that it was at then. I really wish I could come up there and see what's going on but I'm too old and just too tired even though I'm in good shape. You asked him about "speaking in tongues", emotion and the music. His answer was that there is a "controlling element" concerning that and we need to respect THEIR MODE OF WORSHIP. I wonder if you or the professor knows that in early Methodist revivals, speaking in tongues and gifts of the spirit were manifest and John Wesley was asked what he thought. He said as long as it did not turn to uncontrollable extremism it was OK. I'd be curious to know what kind of music they are using. If it's LITURGICAL or this modern so called "worship band" music which is nothing more than dressed up rock and roll rap, then forget it, you'll have NO REVIVAL! The world is on the verge of World War III, we have had a DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY, we have LGBTQ and it's tearing the Methodist Church apart but he mentions no concerns/prayer for any of this!

We'll see whether racial prejudice remains...or vanishes. Fresh Holy Spirit fruit or just wax replicas.

I have been listening to a lot of interviews like this. I hear a lot of references to God and the Spirit.....but barely anything about Christ. Why is this movement not more Christ Centered?
