Leviticus 6:12 ‘ the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it shall never go out.”
DAILY READING; 1 Peter 4; Jeremiah 37-38; Psalm 137
One of the most recent amazing moves of the Holy Spirit was witnessed early this year with the outbreak of the Asbury revival at Asbury University, Kentucky.
This revival was significant because of its spread particularly among ‘Generation Z’, noted as the world’s most irreligious generation in history.
On Wednesday, February 8, 2023, students at Asbury University, a private Christian university, had attended the mandatory midweek service as usual without much interest.
The pastor had preached about love taking his text from Romans 12. But when he made a call for the students to come to the altar for repentance and rededication, no one came forward.
The pastor left, feeling he had failed to make an impact.
However, after the service ended, about 19 students stayed back, arrested by the Holy Spirit. They sat in several clusters and kept praying. The power of the Spirit drew other students to join them and they prayed into the night and to the next day.
This was the beginning of the revival. As the revival fire spread, groups of many students from other campuses started to show up at Asbury University. The news of the phenomenon quickly spread through social media and the crowds grew into thousands and the university had to set up overflow rooms. Everyday, approximately 15,000 people attended the nonstop prayers and worship. Many experienced healing, deliverance and salvation. By its end, the revival had brought about 70,000 visitors from different countries to Asbury university.
Though the preacher’s sermon had failed to make any impact on the young students of Asbury University, when the fire of the Holy Ghost fell, they were suddenly arrested and transformed and revived.
Revival is a heavenly invasion of the kingdom of God upon the earth. When it comes it can melt even the most hardened hearts.
As the gross darkness increases in the world today, we need revival for survival. We need the fire of the Spirit to constantly flow through us burning up every chaff and keeping us spiritually alive and alert in these perilous last days.
Jesus said in Luke 21:36 [NIV] ‘Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
The truth is that today, we are living in very dangerous times and it will take highly spiritual believers who are very sensitive to the Spirit to know what to do to escape the perils of these end times.
We therefore need oil in our lamps and the fire of the Holy Ghost burning in our lives through a fervent spiritual life. To avoid becoming victims of the various schemes of the wicked, we must keep our fire burning and never allow it to go out. (Leviticus 6:12)
As watchmen on the walls, we are to fervently stand in the place of intercession, overturning the plans of the wicked and ensuring positive changes wherever we go. As intercessors, we are facilitators of divine intervention in our families, cities and nations.
Therefore today, let us seek for greater depths in the Spirit through a lifestyle of diligent study of the Word, prayers and worship.
As we do, surely fresh fire from Heaven will fall upon our lives and ignite us to shine as lights in the midst of the gross darkness of these last days.
PRAYER: Lord, I am available, please use me in this generation to affect my world positively. Especially in these end-times, let my light so shine before men that many souls may be brought into Your kingdom in Jesus Name.
