It is interesting to watch the excitement over what is happening at Asbury Theological Seminary. Supposedly it is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on those college students and faculty during a prayer meeting. The prayer meeting that never ends. A friend sent me a video clip from that event. It turned me off and gave me the creeps.
Why are tongue talking Pentecostal people drawn to any kind of spiritual or emotional outpouring? Don't we have enough of God where we are today? Or are we so ignorant as to the deception of things that have a grain of truth but are full of lies?
The music was the tipping point for me. I hate the self focused top 40 influenced modern so called worship music that is less about ascribing greatness to God and more about how I feel. No move of God that is genuine will be based on Hillsong or Elevate music. Emotions and feeling are not anointing. Some people mistake rattle for revival.
The original experience at Asbury was in 1970. That was interesting but not appealing to me or to pastor Mitchell. We need more of God where we are, not a touchy/feely praise experience with people who we do not know.
