- The Asbury Revival has been the talk of the Christian world for the last few weeks. Is this a true revival? What is a revival in the first place? How should we as Christians respond to this? Rejoicing? Skepticism? Both? In this video, I interview Josh Buice Scott Aniol, and Matt Sikes as we talk about the latest big thing in the evangelical world and how we should respond.

My pastor went to the revival and on the 11th. He said he kept making excuses, but God told him he’d regret it in 10 years if he didn’t go. He used his missing the Super Bowl and driving three hours in the rain that day as an example of dying to self. I spent the last two weeks looking for a new church.
At age 70 and being a Christian for 50 years I am approaching this or any so called revival with deep decernment. Living through and being a part of the charismatic movement we often witnessed these things that led to many false conversions and churches becoming infected with false doctrines. Satan enjoys putting on a show but Jesus doesn't need that at all. True repentance will take place in the private and personal moments we have with God. True revival will begin first in the background during those private moments individuals have. Only our Lord can work out front but in the background.
I'm doing a graduate degree in music, and I think it's worth noting that the idea of music stirring the emotions and leading to "catharsis" was heartily believed by the Ancient Greeks. Certainly God can use music, but we have to be careful that we are centered on the preaching of the Word.
I'm a pretty fickle person emotionally. I experience many highs and lows, often in the same day. I used think that having an emotional high meant I was filled with the Holy Spirit, while I interpreted an emotional low as being abandoned or punished by God. I've since come to realize, as Scripture explains, that being filled with the Holy Spirit means to abide in Him and to live according to the truth from the moment I get up to the moment I go to bed, day in and day out, regardless of how I feel. Marathon church services don't really mean much in the greater scheme of things. "Revivals" in the sense of people spontaneously coming to Christ is great and all, but what really matters is that they go on to live a life that shows they were truly saved. Live a life of consistently trusting God and studying His word and you will truly be full of the Holy Spirit.
A true 'personal' revival doesn't have to take place at even a church. God can bring refreshment and revival in our personal walk with Him right in our homes. As a matter of fact God saved me, not in a church, but at my bedside on my knees in repentance at the age of thirty-five. The gospel wasn't being preached to me, but everything I ever heard of the gospel was brought to my mind and conscience. Most especially repentance.
True revival will NEVER be a dog and pony show, but an outworking of faith, hope and love, first towards Jesus Christ and then towards others. I didn't see anyone emptying their pockets to give to the poor.
Charismatics have turned their own emotional exuberance into an idol.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - I am 70 years old and have been abandoned by my family and my former church for reporting abuse within leadership and for speaking out about the false teaching that this particular organization has promoted for decades - so thankful for the true, faithful men of God who are teaching and speaking about what IS truly biblically correct~
I watched this "revival" and saw several things that bothered me. There was a NAR preacher outside the church telling believers and non-believers alike that they could have the Holy Spirit inhabit them? Why was no one correcting this man? He was teaching the crowd how to speak in tongues, and when they did, it was gibberish. Had it been an actual language, there was no one to translate it for the crowd. The demon that they rebuked several times? Why did they have to rebuke it over and over, and not once like Jesus taught? I saw no preaching it seemed the revival/worship was almost exclusively singing? These and other worrisome things made me think this was not a true revival, just a scheduled event by this university.
I was sincerely in Word of Faith for 30 + years, but I as in terrible error. Sincerity is not salvific where the is no true Gospel!
Saved at 34 and still loving, honoring and praising the Lord at 88.
Yes, having been Mormon all my life I am wary of high emotional reactions. Turns out truth stands on its own.
I got saved by the Grace of God at 21, 25 now. I wouldn’t say I grew up in Christianity. But many times in my life before Christ, I went to church events like this. And every time I would go home and be back in my life of sin. I remember at 19-21, I was grieved with my shame and guilt. My girlfriend and I were in ministry, both self deceived. I did a sermon on God’s holiness and I saw the giant distance between God’s perfection and me. I was wrought with grief and I knew I was going to hell. My pastor and elders told me that grace covers me. I found out every Christian around me was living a life of habitual sin. I sat there and told my girlfriend that if this is true Christianity then Christianity isn’t true. Thankfully, we both left that church, went to a biblical church. I got saved, we broke up, eventually the lord brought her back, saved her last year. And we are planning on getting married lord willing. And now we understand what true Christianity is. We were in the hyper grace movement, now we are in a biblical church that preaches the word and pours into the body of believers.
Yesss!!!! This is exactly what’s I’ve been thinking about the Asbury situation.
Well I attended a church that had a similar revival. The pastor was extremely anointed. The revival was powerful as he continued to preach repentance. It is the first time I experienced many people rejoice at repentance. And lives changed. 23 years later I am still changes and we spread the good news of the gospel to others.
At 65 years of age. And growing up in church, attending many different churches. I have seen many so called revivals. The thing that bothers me...is after those meetings. The growth does not follow. The people go back to the stagnant way of life. Years later they still have not grown in they're faith or love in God. Still committing the same sins, over and over. But still believing that Heaven will be they're home when they die. I gave my heart to God when I was 9 years old, in my bedroom...alone. Then from then grew in my faith in God. I have very little regret in my life, experienced falls, picked myself back up...asked God to forgive my sin. And moved forward away from that sin, to never do it again. That's real repentance, a faith in God that keeps you moving forward, growing, leaving sinful ways and actions behind. It does not stop at the alter, but moves forward...to a greater and greater love for God. Yes, some really do really repent in these meeting. And for that I'm very thankful but it hurts to see the many that got swept in by the emotions and never really repented. So sad.😢
As soon as I heard Bethel hypnotic music RUNNN.
“Tell me what the world is saying today, and I’ll tell you what the church will be saying in seven years.”
I'm very glad you covered this Justin. I did a short video too as even at my limited level of knowledge and understanding, even I saw issues here that needed to be addressed. Truth must prevail, and the Word of God must come first in such things. Bless you all
Bless you 🙏 my brothers and sisters 🙏 in christ from the Highlands of Scotland
