JUST when you thought it couldn’t get any darker in America, a Christian revival breaks out in the Methodist Asbury University in the small Kentucky town of Wilmore. The event has grabbed international headlines and prompted all sorts of reactions, positive and negative, from within and without the wider church.
Not even a “measles alert” from the CDC and Health Canada, warning that 20,000 revival attendees “may have been exposed to measles, and undervaccinated attendees should quarantine and monitor symptoms for 21 days”, could put a stop to this event. The CDC’s attempt to throw a wet blanket over the event failed and it continues regardless.
To any readers identifying as agnostic or atheist, such events may not make any sense but they are well known in history. Observers believe it could have profound effects on the United States, which is in the midst of a crisis being driven by a decadent and deeply corrupt administration overseeing a neo-Marxist revolution and proxy war against Russia. A revival in a university might be seen as counter-revolutionary in this respect.
On February 8, 2023, the university’s regularly scheduled chapel service never ended. “What we have experienced since that Wednesday morning has been a current of immeasurable goodness flooding our community and quickly moving into other regions of the world. Words fail any effort to communicate the abundance of experiences and stories that will leave us forever changed,” the university president Dr Kevin Brown says in a special public statement. Early in March it was still going and other universities across the US such as Texas A&M and worldwide were joining in.
Through February some 50,000 people flooded into the Kentucky town from across America, stretching its infrastructure to its limits, prompting the college administrators to set up a livestream to another location in central Kentucky and restrict evening services at the university to college-age and high school students age 25 and under.
Observers note that the revival was unplanned and spontaneous and is being mostly led by the students themselves. But one Aussie commentator, based on a talk given by a self-proclaimed “celibate gay Christian” at the university, jumped to the wrong conclusion the entire thing was led by gays. There’s no evidence to support that quite outrageous allegation.
Critics need to look at history to see that spiritual revivals are not anything new, especially in America. Asbury Theological College itself has experienced several revivals in 1905, 1950, 1958 and 1970, so they are something of a Methodist tradition. And as pointed out by one writer linked to be Time Magazine, every revival has its Old Lights and New Lights.
More well known is the Great Awakening, a revival in the British American colonies that ran from 1720 into the 1740s. Wikipedia records this was a part of the religious ferment that swept western Europe in the latter part of the 17th century and early 18th century that birthed the Pietism and Quietism movements among Protestants and Roman Catholics and Evangelicalism in England under the leadership of John Wesley (1703–91). Notable revivalist leaders in the American colonies were Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield.
The Second Great Awakening from 1795 to 1835 started in northern Kentucky just north of Wilmore, Kentucky. This Protestant revival was notable for worship and preaching in the woods where people would fall to the ground shaking “under the influence of the Holy Spirit”.
During the destructive Civil War (1861-65) that killed an estimated 750,000 Americans, came the Holiness Movement with a series of Methodist revivals which shunned the tobacco, alcohol and gambling of the saloon bar lifestyle associated with the wild west. But there was also real social reform associated with revivals, for instance, Wilberforce’s anti-slavery campaign.
In 1900, the Topeka Kansas Outpouring set the stage for the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, which involved many from the Armenian community who had fled to the USA on on the basis of a long-standing prophecy written by a boy in 1852 that predicted the Turkish genocide of Armenians in 1914. A map also gave directions to Los Angeles.
More recent spiritual phenomena include the “Toronto Blessing” in Canada and the Pensacola, Florida revivals through the 1990s. Again, both were controversial and both were able to use the internet to become known worldwide.
Han Barkmeyer,
Re your last quote: “He added: ‘It is out of the question that Saul, David, and Solomon, as described as kings in the Bible, could have existed. I think the biblical accounts are wonderful stories, invented at the time when Jerusalem was part of the Persian Empire in the 5th Century BC.’”
To me, it looks. “Murdoch enterprises must have been around during the 5th Century.”
Murdoch is getting a bit ancient, time to hang up his boots…
Davidd, the spiritual phenomenon surely is hardwired into human existence. Even those types of “Forgive them because they know truly well what they are doing” having all “sorts of spiritual remembrances” but turning those quickly into the self centered version. Just the idea that consuming fresh pineal glands of other rather “unlucky ones” for longevity and spiritual enlightenment reminds one of similar practices of today’s Rabi(es)nism and other kosher practices at work behind the global scenes.
“Oh, I see, I just have to take your word for it. I just have to “recognise and accept” that you are the source of all wisdom.”
lol You are remarkably adept at missing the point. I’m not interested in competing with your point of view, merely providing you with reason to revise it. Suit yourself. Cheers.
daviddd2: “ Your only reality is that you don’t recognise or accept that somebody else created it for you.”
And who created that “somebody else”, who created it for me?
Oh, I see, I just have to take your word for it. I just have to “recognise and accept” that you are the source of all wisdom.
Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
jo: “could it be taken into consideration that ancient civilizations clearly had a clue about some (than) not hidden “seat of the soul” where high consciousness in humanity can be developed – if allowed and not restricted by AUTHORITY?”
Touche! Suffice to say that humanity, no matter what corner of the world you look at, has apparently always displayed a “spiritual” or “religious” phenomenon of some sort, irrespective of the fact that different parts of humanity had never been in touch with each other or “learned” from each other.
In modern terms, it suggests the “spiritual” phenomenon may be hardwired into human existence, except short-circuited in those who abandoned their humanity in preference to materialism and its doctrines.
It surely is not hard to figure out the purveyors and the victims of Mammon’s and Moloch’s materialist cult.
Ironically, those who deny humanity’s inherent condition but ostensibly profess hatred of the materialist cult often turn out to be the cult’s most duped victims if not its most useful servants.
Dr, yepp, yepp and yepp! Excellent.
Han, do you never get tired barking up the same old tree? Who cares about who is atheist, christian, muslim or jew as long as they have a good warm and empathic heart that sometimes in a quiet moment is even capable of LOVE.
Nothing will ever be about “I” am this that or the other. It is goodness of the heart that matters and yes there is a constant risk to get slapped and abused. Still better than turn into a Aussie politician.
Han Barkmeyer: “When you look at the vast size of the universe,..”
lol When was the last time you saw the size of the Universe, mate? London to a brick that you yourself know NOTHING about the “Universe”.
Never experienced it, never seen it, never touched it, never smelled it, never heard it and never tasted it except in Hawkings fairytale fantasies.
And you think you’re a realist and you KNOW the Universe is vast in size? lol Your only reality is that you don’t recognise or accept that somebody else created it for you.
Just common sense Han? Would’t common sense be common and not a pipe view in the eye of the beholder?
What is really happening with the body in a successful (spiritual human) “revival”? What will happen to the pineal gland – or the “seat of the soul” where high consciousness can be developed?
Is it “Satan using a fake spirit called “Kundalini” or is it just a very normal “but forgotten” human function tapping into a “different reality” that unfortunately is heavily suppressed/ridiculed by authorities and their ilk to keep the sheep grazing as sheep do?
“Kundalini” in simple terms: “Opening of the crown chakra aka the PINEAL GLAND through certain practice/meditation/willingness/etc/etc and expanding ones own consciousness into a “limitless non physical/bodyless stage”.
Is that the work of a ”fake holy spirit” and the devil only because chokylover and her bible says so or could it be taken into consideration that ancient civilizations clearly had a clue about some (than) not hidden “seat of the soul” where high consciousness in humanity can be developed – if allowed and not restricted by AUTHORITY?
The Romans built a massive bronze pinecone sculpture (pigna) that reportedly sat on the top of the Pantheon and served as a fountain (living water). It is thought to be the largest pine cone statue in the world and is found today in Pigna court of the Vatican.
In ancient Egypt, the symbol of the pinecone is found depicted on the Staff of Osiris (from about 1224 BC). This image shows two serpents that intertwine on their way up the staff which is topped with a pinecone. Some researchers link the snakes with the Hindu idea of kundalini – in which the pine cone acts as the pineal gland (or Ajna chakra).

On the mural of the Sumerian civilization, the Neferim people hold a pine cone in their hands. Two pictures from the 6500 years old mural are in the British Museum.
There is more to mankind than this poor image of a (fantasy) world of $cience gone wrong. There is also more to humanity than crooked politicians and perverted controllers calling the shot to bring diversion/confusion & misery to “their” people. So what is it we are doing here exactly besides arguing while the “global human flagship sinks into oblivion?
Is Zionism and its religions more important than NATURAL LIFE of man? It most certainly seems that way. Why doesn’t God deliver us from our own stupidity? God must be surely cruel while “ourselves” are always right besides being sooo pure and innocent. Nuff said!
daviddd2: “Han Barkmeyer: “Well, good luck if you do believe that. I don’t.”
You have my condolences and commiserations. lol”
Don’t bother; I am a VERY HAPPY ATHEIST together with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Dan Barker, Charles Giuliani, Peter Singer, Stephen Hawking, etc. The list is endless and growing by the day.
Stephen Hawking:
Until his retirement, Hawking was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge—Isaac Newton’s old job. Since 2009, he has been Director of Research at Cambridge’s Centre for Theoretical Cosmology. His major contribution to cosmology has been the discovery that black holes evaporate by means of the “Hawking radiation” mechanism. A victim of Lou Gehrig’s disease, he was catapulted to world fame following the publication of his bestselling ‘A Brief History of Time’ in 1988.
With respect to God, he has said: “When you look at the vast size of the universe, and how accidental and insignificant human life is in it, that seems most implausible.”

Atheism in history
‘Atheism in history’ traces the origins and history of atheism. Atheism has its origins in Ancient Greece and although there have always been people who did not believe in God, atheism did not emerge as an overt and avowed belief system until late in the Enlightenment.
Since the Enlightenment, almost all atheists have advocated state secularism, which has been one of the great triumphs of Western civilization. It is important to remember, however, that the history of Western atheism is not the history of global atheism. Despite the growth of atheism, suspicion, and even fear, of atheists remains widespread.
Dr: “Just as modern quantum physicists use mathematical formulae and symbols to convey metaphysical realities [which are mostly imperceptible to the ignorant], the ancients used anthropomorphic and zoomorphic symbols to achieve the same ends. One just has to learn the language.”
Most erudite statement, Dr. Let us hope some of the monolinguists step out of their box and experience something more than just a faint sunlight stream in a shrouded chamber.
Basing one’s whole argument, or raisin d’etre upon a single book, is akin to Jo’s frog in the well metaphor.
In fact, people would probably be better served if they ditched most of those jumbled Abrahamic books, and started to study ancient architecture in relation to astronomy, or more specifically precessional motion. Despite modern man’s love of the written word, the ancients more often than not, communicated via the ‘language of the stars’ [unfortunately, far too complex to enter here].
As most of those old tales consist of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic ‘mythologised accounts’ of astronomical events, – empirical archaeological evidence cannot exist, – at least not on Earth in temporal form, as materialist archaeologists foolishly expect.
But they ‘do exist’ in astronomical form, due to the cyclical mechanics of celestial motion, and are thus, with the right tools, easy to ‘dig up’ and pinpoint. This is rightly regarded as the ‘astronomical archaeological evidence.’
Jesus and the Twelve Disciples, Odin and the Twelve Aesir, King Arthur and the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, etc, all were anthropomorphic descriptions of the northern Pole Star and the twelve houses of thirty degrees. In this regards, textual corruption in the NT is clearly evident in the Book of Revelations, where for example, it only preserves the 144,000 Servants of God, whilst omitting the 288,000 servants.
The oldest strata of Mesopotamian civilisation only dates to ca. 3500 B.C. But what about the oldest book in the world, the Rig Veda?. If we put this under the microscope, we can read the following at VII: 95. 1-2, ie., – ‘The Saraswati [River] has appeared unique among the rivers, pure in her course from the [Himalayan] mountains to the sea [Rann of Kutch].’
A rather bland and uninteresting statement, until people stop, and think about what the verse is actually saying. With proper research, they will eventually realise, that the Saraswati River dried up in 1800 B.C., – and had stopped reaching the ocean in 8000 B.C.!
This, and many other Vedic verses, provide sufficient evidence that a pre-Mesopotamian Aryan civilisation was in existence at least, – four thousand years prior to the proto-Bible source material.
And what about the old Norse myths, concerning Fenya and Menya’s churning of the Mill-Wheel and their ‘moving of mountains.’ Gibberish!, cry the small-minded materialists, how can two big girls move a mountain? and where’s the evidence?
Just as modern quantum physicists use mathematical formulae and symbols to convey metaphysical realities [which are mostly imperceptible to the ignorant], the ancients used anthropomorphic and zoomorphic symbols to achieve the same ends. One just has to learn the language.
The ocean of knowledge is indeed vast.
Further evidence that we are spiritual beings.
Where can we get empirical information?
First, there are Near-Death Experiences, or NDEs.
Second, there are out-of-body journeys and the experiences of
shamans and remote viewers.
Third, there is direct experience through apparitions, clairvoyance,
clairaudience and deathbed visions.
Fourth, there are revelations through other than conscious states of
awareness, such as hypnosis, dreams and holotropic states. (The word
holotropic is from the Greek holos, meaning “whole,” and trepein,
meaning “moving or oriented towards.” It relates to a powerful method
of self-exploration, personal transformation, and healing created by
Christina and Stanislav Grof, M.D.)
Fifth, there are revelations through mediums (mental mediums, trance
mediums and materialization mediums) from loved ones who have
died.
Sixth, there are revelations through electronic voice phenomena (EVP)
and instrumental trans-communication (ITC).
Seventh, there are transmissions from spirit teachers of high degree
speaking through mediums, channellers and automatic writers.

“The 6000 years of biblical history deals with various people and their interactions with God and later the Messiah aka Jesus, the Son of God – who was a real, historical person attested to by Jewish and Roman historians.”
Is that so?… Well, according to the Bible, Mr. Yahweh’s word, the Earth is 6,000 years old. So, it must be true.
BUT according to a leading archeologist the Old Testament stories in the Bible, the Jew Book, are FICTION. Oh, naughty Mr. Yahweh, he has been telling us fibs to put it mildly…
ABRAHAM, Jacob, Moses, King David, and King Solomon in all his splendour, never existed, a 15-year study of archaeological evidence has concluded.
The study – by Professor Thomas Thompson, one of the world’s foremost authorities on biblical archaeology – says that the first 10 books of the Old Testament are almost certainly fiction, written between 500 and 1,500 years after the events they purport to describe.
Professor Thompson’s claims, outlined in a new book, The Early History of the Israelite People, are being taken seriously by scholars.
The British Museum’s leading expert on the archaeology of the Holy Land, Jonathan Tubb, said last week: ‘Professor Thompson may well be right in many of his arguments. His book is a work of tremendous scholarship. He has been meticulous in his research, and brave in expressing what many of us have thought intuitively for a long time but have been reticent in saying.’
Professor Thompson – from Marquette University in Milwaukee – says that there is a complete absence of archaeological and historical evidence for many events portrayed in the Bible. The inevitable conclusion, he argues, is that the Israelite exile in Egypt, the Exodus and the Israelite conquest of the Promised Land never took place.
Excavations have found no trace of a settled population around Judea and Jerusalem during the 10th century BC, when the Kingdom of David and Solomon was supposed to have flourished. A community that could have supported a kingdom did not form in Judea until at least a century later, Professor Thompson said. Jerusalem did not become a large and politically influential city until about 650 BC.
He added: ‘It is out of the question that Saul, David, and Solomon, as described as kings in the Bible, could have existed. I think the biblical accounts are wonderful stories, invented at the time when Jerusalem was part of the Persian Empire in the 5th Century BC.’

daviddd2: “Joey just just raised the right question for you…. Are you “a human being having a spiritual experience, or a spiritual being having a human experience” ?”
Oh, really?…
I have seen that BS before from the “Father of the New Age Movement”:
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Teilhard was a French Jesuit priest and believed that we existed in spiritual form before we were born into this physical world and that we are eternal souls.
Well, good luck if you do believe that. I don’t.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, often called the “Father of the New Age movement,” is on a list of “40 influential Christian books” on two popular Christian news sites, The Christian Post and The Christian Examiner. The article, which provides the list, states:
Every thoughtful Christian can probably appreciate these 40 volumes in the journey to grow into a deeper understanding of life and existence through the Bible. . . . These books have influenced countless Christians across vast periods of time.
https://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/panentheists-list-40-influential-christian-books/
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the Jesuit priest (1881-1955), was promoting the Bible, the Jew Book, to gullible Christians and the gullible followers of the New Age Movement.
Joey and countless others were taken in by this Charlatan.
Emma: “Joey, that quote makes sense to me. Spiritual beings having a human experience.”
Yessirree, Bob! Either way, why would one wish to eliminate the delight of either experience?
Why buy into somebody else’s manipulative gaslight scenario, especially if they don’t give a rat’s arse for you and are happy to exploit your existence? lol
We are energy – eternal – but they don’t want us knowing that..
“To believe is to suspend one’s critical faculties and believe the unbelievable by ditching realism and logic.”
Joey just just raised the right question for you…. Are you “a human being having a spiritual experience, or a spiritual being having a human experience” ?
“Realism and logic and critical faculties ” say that either of the two are equivalent possibilities. Any belief you might hold is in fact a conscious or unconscious choice on your part, subject to your own perceived limitations or lack thereof.
Joey, that quote makes sense to me. Spiritual beings having a human experience. I like another of his quotes “How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours”. That aligns with ‘Do unto others’ and explains how sadists get themselves in such a knot when trying to come up with solutions to fix juvenile crime sprees.
Underneath Christianity sits the idea of immortality and that this life is a kind of learning opportunity. This is why a lot of the pushback to the global pharmacide massacre is led by Christians, real ones, not Sunday church only ones. People of faith have an outlook that includes something post-rotting corpse 6 feet under. The material world might be fun or not while here, but it is not the end of the story. That faith carries with it a saving grace.
Han, what you fail to grasp is that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Wayne W. Dyer knows, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience.” And everyone can embark on a sacred quest leading to enlightenment and communion with God, says the author of the mid-1970’s favorite, “Your Erroneous Zones.”
CENSORED scientists are well aware, that earth is not the only realm.
The Suppression of Knowledge
To the teeming millions who have died or suffered in the name of ignorance and religion
The great strength of the powerful materialists who control orthodox scientific thinking is that they are banking on the fact that most people are not making an effort to understand even basic subatomic physics. Even a cursory glance at the subject shows that the physical universe is being produced from the invisible – the etheric universe. Please spike the guns of the “when-you’re-dead,-you’re-dead” merchants. Read Professor Richard Feynman’s layman’s guide to subatomic physics obtainable from bookshops and the library – QED. Once people have read the physicists’ and rationalists’ case explaining so-called paranormal phenomena they automatically become immune from falling for any supernatural absurdities. Never again will the masses fall under the spell of priestcraft. Never again will people be fooled by pseudo-scientists who are guilty of suppressing uncomfortable discoveries in physics solely to keep their power structures intact.

The 6000 years of biblical history deals with various people and their interactions with God and later the Messiah aka Jesus, the Son of God – who was a real, historical person attested to by Jewish and Roman historians. It’s a highly blinkered view of history to simply expunge all of that simply because you do not wish to believe that God exists.
daviddd2: “Save your condemnation for those who choose EVIL and the 1000 Points of Light. lol”
Nothing to do with condemnation, just common sense.
It is delusional to believe in a god, a deity or whatever one thinks is god and to believe that it will save humanity and the world.
Anyway, it is pointless to discuss this with people who believe in a god or whatever they fancy god is.
To believe is to suspend one’s critical faculties and believe the unbelievable by ditching realism and logic.
jo: “Brain fogging for ALL! It is so simple – just like Joe “Who am I again” aka “You don’t need to be a Jew to be a Zionist”
Modified DNA. lol
Han: “IF your god is all Loving and Powerful, he, she, it would stop Evil from happening.”
Maybe jo’s God is not a control freak? Maybe jo has an awareness of a different kind of God to that which the historically manipulative and directed interpretations lead to? Maybe, after all, he’s not a long haired grey bearded old man he’s projected as being?
Save your condemnation for those who choose EVIL and the 1000 Points of Light. lol
Davidd, Brain fogging for ALL! It is so simple – just like Joe “Who am I again” aka “You don’t need to be a Jew to be a Zionist,” POTUS and commander in (mis)chief of the utterly bancrupt USA, an the rest of the broke western cloake – Biden.
emma: “Thanks jo, each person awakens in their own way.”
Precisely! Consciousness is not a synonym for a professed materialistically oriented belief.
Refer a Quantum physics interpretation of a dimension and consciousness encapsulated in “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.”
One could of course be inclined to interpret the statement literally in a purely material sense and get entirely misdirected. Which is of course what we are encouraged to do in the cause of minimising ourselves and our possibilities down to obedient servitude to the self appointed “pedagogues” who control the herd for their own ends.
Han, I do know that I can not answer your question that you already have answered yourself. “my” God is very much alive and you deny God’s existence. What is it you would like me to say?
The human creation of a world (in contrast to God’s own) is the world of the “prodigal son” that (currently) “joyfully operates with pig $hit in the earthly pig pen”. God knows about that so what do you want God to “say or do”? Absolutely nothing! Simply because once “the son” finally gets it how silly “he” has been – just like the frog in the well, “he” simply & willingly will seek his OWN return home. The “pig shit” stinks immensely, is putrid and sooner or later – maybe – “sonny boy will get it by himself”. That will be the time when the human mind will have some “room” for a greater truth then his/her own, besides having become an “useless expert of piggeries” while having NO ROOM anyway for other realities than his/her very own.
Why does God not relieve human beings from their own idiotic earthly honey traps? What would mankind learn besides “global Pig shit handling and ones own bigger than anything delusion of grandeur”.
jo: “It will be remembered in the structure of the individuals DNA and this remembrance will silently and always ask for more.”
Indeed, hence the recent rush to finally corrupt our DNA into an alternative receptor. Looks like even that is something that must be surrendered in the cause of “owning nothing and being “happy”.
Jo, you know very well what I mean. IF your god is all Loving and Powerful, he, she, it would stop Evil from happening.
Once again: WHY is he, she, it not doing so?
Emma: “It’s a good idea to not confuse the fake with the genuine.”
If you think that there is “fake” and “genuine” Christianity then it only shows that the Jews have achieved their objective by controlling your mind.
Being religious, does not necessarily mean being spiritual.
Why do we come to earth, why are we here?
What happened to this guy is fascinating, detailed & thought provoking:

Thanks jo, each person awakens in their own way.
Han, there are more than a few genocidal maniacs who call themselves Christians who are anything but religious. The “millions of indigenous peoples who were slaughtered” in various genocides are now being joined by another 6 billion people being genocided by toxins, the process facilitated by bible-holding pretenders like our ex-PM. Remember, most of the covid supporters in our govt attend a church service on the first day of Parliament each year, including our current PM.
It’s a good idea to not confuse the fake with the genuine.
Han, stop which planes of the Jewish 9/11 show? How does one stop a hologram and the placement of explosives by those who have ALL others by the throat? How do YOU stop wars? How do YOU stop a fake world from fakery? Surely not with more division! What came first Han? The hatred for Jews or God – or is it one of the same thing for your sharp & calculating mind?
“The frog in the well does not know the ocean but with time it became confident that it knew its world. Only after a long time, once it hopped into the ocean did it realize how vast its universe actually was, and how long its ignorance has been”. (Japanese proverb)
Are you different than the Jews who force THEIR way of life on all others no matter what? How will you ever take life experiences away from others that you personally are never willing to explore?
Try “jumping into the ocean and become the wave that you are”. Only you can find out for yourself or you just as easily brush it away as utter garbage. The choice is yours! I have taken mine as a personal and intimate experience and there is absolute nothing nor anyone that can take it away.
How many “Gods” are there to choose from in the human realm? How many devils and demons? How many different spiritual ways to achieve this that or the other? How many different versions of black books are there that are enforced by different suitable believers and confrontations within? And still one rather argues about something one does not know!
“The frog in the well does not know the ocean” but surely will write a book or two about it while discrediting all others that do not agree. Humanity is SOOO FULL of itself.
Emma, BRAVO!!!!!!
“Miracles” do happen. Especially to those who “touch” humility and selflessness. Any congregation can lift its spirit once the “spiritual sparks are flying upwards in a ever growing vortex that will take up speed”. The “spiritual” human body amalgamating in a matterless state of golden light with other willing members of the congregation being high in spirit – to “rise above” the physical world to experience the enlightenment of the purest heart that has been longing for that very moment far too long. There will be many side effects of all sorts and “personal” flavors that all explain the very same – with different stories and words. Time will have lost all its influence and LOVE, yes that scary feeling one rather tries to exchange for suffering, will become reality.
And yes, Emma it looks like one (or many more persons) at that congregation had surely tasted “it” because every one present was “riding” along with different sentiments but one and the very same source – “the love of God”. It will be remembered in the structure of the individuals DNA and this remembrance will silently and always ask for more.
Emma: “There are some good sayings in Christianity, Do unto others, The meek shall inherit the Earth, Seek Thee first the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Tell that the millions of indigenous peoples who were slaughtered by the Christians when they conquered the world to spread the Word of their God, the fictional Jealous, Angry and Bloodthirsty Genocidal Jewish God, Mr. Yahweh.
Exodus 15 King James Version
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name
The Bible was written by the Jews for the Jews and it was/is their manual for world domination which they now have achieved after 3,300 years.
As Pope Francis said: “Inside every Christian is a Jew”. All thanks to Christianity which the Jews created to brainwash and conquer the minds of the Goyim.
Dr. E. Michael Jones, a staunch Catholic, but very critical of the Jews and author of ‘The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit And Its Impact On World History’ recently said:
“A Japanese reporter came up to me and she said that the Japanese will never become Christians as they will then lose their culture.”
That is exactly what happened to the so-called “Christian World” and Western Civilisation, totally JUDAISED. No wonder that Christians are the strongest supporters of the Jews and Israel.
When in doubt go to source. What or who was the starting point of this particular ‘revival’? I always thought ‘revivalists’ a kind of cult with little relevance to me. I found online the Asbury chapel service that was said to be the origin. The man leading the service was a good speaker and fair-minded.
Trigger warning for atheists: unscientifically provable words like grace, miracle, love, humility and heaven follow.
It seems that someone in the audience was a ‘conduit’ for ‘Grace’. There are some good sayings in Christianity, Do unto others, The meek shall inherit the Earth, Seek Thee first the Kingdom of Heaven.
Apparently during a break in the service, one of the attendees related his backstory to a handful of people who stayed behind. The story was that he was saved from committing suicide by ‘God’. I take that to mean that the thought process leading him towards suicide was changed by an intervening wisdom of a higher order, what he called ‘God’. This is where ‘The meek shall inherit the Earth’ applies. In humility, he ascribes the ability to tune into an universal higher order of wisdom as ‘God’. No problem. His retreat into ‘nobodyhood’, what we call humility, was of such a pure quality that it ‘brought into tune’ those few people who were listening. They also must have been in a quiet, loving, perceptive and compassionate state. No longer stuck in the past and caught up in some victimhood story that was leading him to consider suicide as a solution, the story-teller in addition now found himself ‘miraculously’ in the presence of ‘Grace’ in the form of those listening. This erasure of self-judgement, a kind of enlightenment, was witnessed, deeply felt and then shared by the few. Enlightenment evolves into the world in many ways, and it looks like one more person at least just tasted it. This is what might have happened.

Jo, what would YOU have done if you had the power to stop those planes flying into The Twin Towers on 9/11 and save the lives of thousands of innocent people?
YOU and I would have stopped those planes if we had the power to do so.
WHY then did YOUR GOD not stop those planes?
A. Because YOUR GOD does not exist.
B. IF YOUR GOD DOES EXIST, he, she or it is TOTALLY USELESS and will not save us from the planned extermination which we face today with millions already killed and injured by “vaccines”, etc.

A lot of his cultural wrecks display illuminati gang signs and have a secret.

Fails to mention high priestess Madonna, but very visionary the video, “Stuck With You Feat Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber STAY HOME REMIX.”
Butterflies and all.
Two years later more appropriate titles maybe, ‘Ariana and Pfizer Boy, SOME CALL IT KARMA’ or, ‘A slab of steak won’t mend a broken eye.’

So who is it that’s financing and promoting this little grass fire which will quickly be put out by the organisers themselves?
Oh yes, the “methodist” revivalists, yet another “sect” of the fractionated Christian tradition. So who was it again that owns the Evangelist trade mark?
If Jesus isn’t mentioned or worshiped or lifted up its a fake revival led by satan, we are warned about this sort of thing in scripture, its called testing the spirit: 1 John 4:1-6 I for one am skeptical of this revival, be like the Bereans who searched the scriptures and couldn’t be deceived by false doctrine.
I don’t trust any new revivals as Satan knows his time is short. Just over 20 years ago he used a fake holy spirit called Kundalini in Canada and that revival was called the Toronto Blessing. Preachers and Pastors from all over the world went there to bring the Revival back with them. God’s Holy Spirit is no different in any country. People for goodness sake in the meetings were making animal noises and the like. A good video on the Toronto Blessing is by a YT channel JEREMIAH COHEN and he brought out a video just over 2 years ago called THE MOCKING SPIRIT INVADING THE CHURCH. It is must see, then this new one has lots of gays leading the revival music and such
The CDC & Hellth Canada go straight to DefCon #1 with a measles outbreak threat. Maybe there is something to the story.
“readers identifying as agnostic or atheist, such “Christian revival events” may not make any sense”
May not or may Do make sense. Though how will “American Christianity” that has morphed into many International profitable Organizations – revive if plentiful branches of the Christian tree, one of THEM Preacher John Hagee, who says “You can’t get into heaven unless you love Jews and Israel”.
So what is it that will be REVIVED? Christianity or Zionism’s 2nd edition? The revival where one is either a happy Christian one, a critic and/or a dead/amended one or “a terrorist that hates Christianity” and sooner or later will be reeducated by stoning or being burned at the stake for heresy – by the officers aka revived crusaders of the Christian Dept. of Peace?
Want a revival for Christianity? Try to start to always select God (or his son) first and love God as God IS while enjoying a different, very loving Reality and not some kosher hurtful fantasy that always puts ‘chosen ones’ above ALL ELSE.
Than one too might become part of a “chapel service that never ever seem to have ended”.
This is good news. Americans are beginning to realize that their only hope is to call upon the Name of the Lord. There are many false hopes and delusions competing for attention, but this is the only hope. And it is the Blessed Hope.
Being raised in a mostly egalitarian culture, I don’t much care what your background, race or religious affiliation might be.
Bottom line – right now we’re in a war for the world, a war by genocidal Satan-worshipping Globalists against the rest of humanity, and TBH it’s metaphorically shaping up much like all those epic conflicts leading up to the final battle in the Lord of the Rings.
Under those circumstances, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Seems rather timely for revival events!
On March 15th, 2018, corrupt governments around the world were put on notice and told they had 5 years to clean up their act. Australia changed parties leading the government and forgot to clean up their act. Despite the fact that the former Prime Minister was wearing an ankle bracelet, nothing changed. The governments are still registered corporations and the police, medical, media and most government agencies are still operating as corporations. The suppression of publication of known pedophiles and other riff raff has not changed. The AUKUS alliance is just another Military Industrial Medical Infection Complex, designed to extract revenue from the debt slaves here. With 5 lend lease Virginia Class Nuke Subs from US, and local construction of 5 or 6 British designed nuclear submarines for 2030 and beyond, what could go wrong? Perhaps we should rename the alliance as US.UK.A? Remove the periods and say it out loud!
