Cedarville University Experiencing ‘Outpouring of the Lord’ at Revival

 

Cedarville University experiencing ‘outpouring of the Lord’ at revival Curated for you byCP Editors Good afternoon! It's Thursday, February 16, and today's headlines include a campus revival at Cedarville University in Ohio, research demonstrating that Americans largely view themselves as citizens of the world, the American Psychological Association denying that it advocates for the legal recognition of polyamorous relationships, and an upcoming podcast with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling addressing why her critics have misunderstood her concerns about trans ideology. Cedarville University, a Christian university in Ohio, is seeing spontaneous prayer and worship among its student body nearly a week after a revival began at Asbury University in Kentucky.  Cedarville University President Thomas White described what has transpired as "a special outpouring and sensing of the presence of the Lord," adding that it "will be left to the historians" to determine if it was truly a revival.  White said the outpouring began during the school's morning chapel service on Monday, as students were going through Psalm 86. "So, we took a moment to pray and to sing a song. And during the song, without an altar call or invitation of any kind, we had some students who began to come forward and pray," he explained. The prayer and worship continued after the morning chapel was over, with some students returning to the chapel after class. A small group was still there at 5:30 p.m., with around 1,000 students returning that evening and staying until after 10 p.m. Many students came forward during Tuesday's chapel service, and the campus again held an unplanned evening worship gathering Tuesday night. For Wednesday, White said Cedarville students who felt called to do so went out to other schools in the area to evangelize, praying that "the Lord will have a unique outpouring on those campuses." White said that while the Cedarville event has not been continuous as it has been at Asbury, God "works in different places in different ways and that’s great. We’re just happy He’s working all across the country." Continue reading. P.S. Get rewarded for sharing our newsletters! Sign-up for the CP referral program—the more you share, the more you earn.
