Having preached here in Asbury chapel leading 100s of Asbury students in prayer late into the night, I am thrilled to hear the credible reports of a new, powerful work of the Spirit breaking out there over these last six days, and now beginning to spread to other universities

I am particularly grateful to those who seem to be stewarding this humbly, wisely and well. Some of them will be joining me tomorrow night for a time of impartation at an online seminar organised by #ReviveEurope and @247prayer

Let me also say that I understand the cautious questions being asked in some quarters. These are natural and sensible.

But after a quarter century thinking and praying about such things, and with much on my heart, for now I simply want to say just two things 👇

Firstly, as has often been said, when it comes to reports of revival I would far rather be gullible than cynical.

Secondly, we need this. What’s happening at Asbury is not everything but it is something and right now we need something to shock the system so that this generation can experience for themselves the life-changing power of God.

We need repentance and holiness. We need the kind of outpouring of the Spirit on campuses that can incubate and detonate a new generation to preach the gospel with greater confidence, fight injustice with greater defiance, and transform society with greater intelligence.

Beyond human programs, products & personalities we need God’s power, presence and perspective. In other words we need a sovereign inbreaking of the Holy Spirit.

America was built on such awakenings. The UK was saved by them. And they always, always, always begin in precisely this way: in seasons of concerted prayer.

C’mon! 🔥
