Oh and apparently anybody older than 26 is banned from the main location.

Where did you read this information about banning anyone? Never heard this...

They also called some media that were planning on showing up and requested they not do so and apparently the media stations respected the heck out of them and honored their wishes.

Revival in Asbury: Update:

“Some prominent ministers and famous gospel singers have been calling the University asking to "lend their services."

They are politely, but firmly, being told: You can come, like anyone else. And if you can find a seat at the back of the auditorium, you're welcome to worship with us.

But we don't want church as usual. Not the agendas. Not the programs. Not the showboating.

The simple worship and meeting will continue to be led by a humble group of students, under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

Basically, the response has been: Don't try to hi-jack this sovereign move of God, and make it about you.

THIS is how you steward a REAL revival.

And that's why this historic movement broke out, again, in a little chapel @ Asbury University-- rather than at countless "It's all about Me" churches across America.

At Asbury, their desire is simple: To honour and serve a Holy God, while hosting His Presence. “

"Revival continues into its eighth day. The revival receives coverage from The Washington Post.[1] Asbury Seminary's regularly scheduled chapel services overflow. Hughes Auditorium is closed by Asbury students to all people 26 and over, a decision made to prioritize the voices of Generation Z. "

One student there is tweeting that poc, women, and queers (their terms) have been leading the worship every day. That student is an lgbtq supporter by the way.

Numerous people are saying there is no preaching taking place, just singing and hugging and whatnot.

Tony Campolo's ministry associates and friends have been there and are very pleased with what's going on.

Todd Bentley tried to get involved but it didn't go any where.

The University is reportedly going to end the meetings so people are trying to scout out another off campus location.

Then they should've made her the pastor then, instead of her grandson.

At any rate, no one preached against what she said. Elias Limones did preach after her and emphasized how when life is bitter we need to go back to the lamb of God, drawing on the passover meal of the lamb and the bitter herbs. Life contains bitterness but also the sweetness and sustenance of the lamb.

Psychotropic drugs same as aspirin?
