There's a hunger for righteousness.
Seeing the light and turning to God, fantastic! We're winning and always have been.
Preach Jesus Christ, crucified, dead, buried, raised! Preach repentance, personal sins but also the sins of our nation--killing the unborn, pedophilia, trafficking, homosexuality, pride, lying, etc. Pray for God to move, for His kingdom to be established on earth as it is in Heaven
Thank you for posting...this is so exciting...
Can a ‘Jesus Revolution’ take place again in America? By Chris Carpenter
5 'Jesus Revolution' (L-R) Jonathan Roumie as Lonnie Frisbee and Kelsey Grammer as Chuck Smith in the film, "Jesus Revolution," a Lionsgate release. | Dan Anderson In June 1971, a headline on the cover of Time magazine trumpeted “The Jesus Revolution.” As readers dug into the inside pages of the cover story, they found the following statement:
“Jesus is alive and well and living in the radical spiritual fervor of a growing number of young Americans who have proclaimed an extraordinary religious revolution in his name. Their message: the Bible is true, miracles happen, God really did so love the world that he gave it his only begotten son.”
However, strangely enough, just five years earlier, the same magazine featured a cover shrouded in darkness that blurted out in bold red ink: “Is God Dead?”
What happened during those five years to create such a cultural difference? Why such a seismic shift in the way people viewed Jesus Christ?
What took place was a revival, as young people far and wide, disillusioned by the Vietnam War, civil unrest, and the feeling of hopelessness, found a place of belonging, compassion, understanding, and empathy for people, all rooted in their love for Jesus Christ.
This happening was called simply the “Jesus Movement.”
“The Gospel has the power to change lives in ways that we just can’t fathom,” movie producer Kevin Downes said. “And so we saw this happen in the early 1970s. There were so many stories that happened during this Jesus movement time that was highlighted in that magazine article.”
Listen to Downes break it all down:
What was happening in the late 1960s and the early 1970s is not a whole lot different from what we are experiencing today. People are still disillusioned by war and civil unrest, as well as cancel culture, gender issues, the right to life, wokeness, and on and on it goes.
It’s a common claim that another revival is desperately needed — and some might wonder if what we’ve seen at Asbury University and other colleges is the start of one.
“Jesus Revolution” is a new movie from Kingdom Story Company that examines what exactly took place during those turbulent years of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the hippie culture that was seemingly taking over the country at the time. It explores how the radical love of Jesus brought revival to a nation reeling from the wounds inflicted by mankind.
“I have not been more excited about a movie that we’ve made than I am about this one movie,” an effusive Downes shared.
In addition to serving as producer on “Jesus Revolution,” he has also played a prominent role in other Kingdom Productions such as “I Can Only Imagine” and “American Underdog.”
“That’s because the whole movie is about hope. There is hope because there is a Savior that died on the cross for us,” he said. “And it just makes it so clear about the why and the who, and why we need Jesus so much in our life, and how he can literally impact us in a way that we never imagined.”
Downes has had a front-row seat to the making of “Jesus Revolution.” As a co-founder of Kingdom Story Company, he has been able to help cultivate the film’s powerful message of hope and revival that will undoubtedly pierce the hearts of moviegoers near and far.
He joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about whether a revival of such epic proportions could happen today. Listen as he shares how this movie can serve as a kick-off of sorts to ushering in a new hunger for Jesus Christ that has not been seen in 50 years, and why right now is the right time for “Jesus Revolution.” https://www.christianpost.com/news/can-a-jesus-revolution-take-place-again-in-america.html
Asbury University revival moving to new sites to accommodate people arriving from around the world By Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post Contributor
71 Asbury Revival Students crowd the altar at Hughes Auditorium at Asbury University during a revival event that began on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023. | Josh Sadlon Asbury University, which has been the site of continual worship and prayer on campus for weeks and drawing tens of thousands of people to experience what God is doing, will move its non-stop prayer services off-campus due to concerns about overcrowding in the small town.
What began as part of a scheduled chapel service on the morning of Feb. 8 at Hughes Auditorium at the Christian institution in Wilmore, Kentucky, has since transformed into a constant impromptu gathering.
The revival has generated worldwide interest, resulting in lengthy queues to gain entry.
The university says on its website that the “concluding public worship service of this recent outpouring” will be held on Monday afternoon.
It added that “the university in consultation with local law enforcement and city administration notified incoming visitors that parking and seating had exceeded capacity.” Beginning Tuesday, services available to the public will be held at another location in the central Kentucky area. Separately, starting on Friday, students' evening services will be hosted at other locations off campus.
“We just had some people arrive from Finland, from the Netherlands, they have been coming from all over the country,” Asbury’s Communications Director Abby Laub told WKYT.
The institution needs to balance the needs of students with the overwhelming turnout at the event, Asbury University President Kevin J. Brown said Sunday, according to WDRB.
“We recognize life for the students had to return to normal, they have to go to school, they have midterms next week,” Laub was quoted as saying. “They know this is a gift, they have received it as a gift, so we are going to change them with now you take this to your job, your family, your church.”
Bobby Singh, who owns a Shell gas station across the street from the Asbury, was pleasantly surprised by an unexpected surge in his business. “I’ve never met such nice people, people are inside donating to us,” Singh told WKYT. “[It’s a] blessing in disguise, man, it came out of nowhere.”
Canaan Yan, a sophomore at Asbury, told WDRB, “I feel as though maybe we were the candle and now we are just passing that flame on to other churches and other schools.”
Days after the revival began, The Christian Post spoke to Alexandra Presta, a senior at the university who is also the executive editor for the campus newspaper The Collegian. She witnessed the revival and reported on it.
After the chapel service concluded on Feb. 8, “roughly 30 students kept going,” she told CP. They’ve been joined by others since then.
The chapel service featured a sermon by speaker Zach Meerkreebs based on Romans 12 and the topic of “love in action,” Presta said. “I had left for a few minutes but then felt called to return. Since then, it hasn’t stopped. It’s been a mix of worship, testimony, prayer, confession, silence,” she explained, calling it “a full experience of the Holy Spirit.”
In an op-ed for CP, Greg Stier, the founder and president of Dare 2 Share Ministries International, quoted an evangelist Jon Burdette in describing his experience.
“Attending the revival at Asbury was an unforgettable experience. We could literally feel the ‘weighty’ presence of God as soon as we walked into the building. Sensing God’s presence in that way and knowing that this was an unplanned service that had continued since Wednesday (Feb. 8) morning, I got emotional within the first few minutes of being there,” Burdette said.
This is not the first time that revival has hit the campus. Asbury was the subject of a major religious gathering in February 1970, which the university celebrated its 50th anniversary of in early 2020.
The 1970 revival spread, impacting various places, including Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary of Fort Worth, Texas, after three Asbury students spoke about their experiences to the student body.

My family just went to see the “Jesus Revolution”. It was fantastic.
Let's hear it for the Heartland.👏🙏
Always look for the fruit. know doubt some will try to use this for carnal reasons, you will know them by their fruit.>> Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Excellent.
Even a Jew like me gets excited by this.
Id like to pray with them.
