But students were so inspired that the service lasted almost a week and was even reopened the next day. It also encouraged students from other states to visit Kentucky to be a part.<\/p>\n<p>On February 8, the service at Asbury University in Hughes Auditorium ended with a benediction and a song by the gospel choir, but the students wouldn\u2019t leave, instead continuing to pray as they sang quietly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were praising and praying earnestly for themselves and their neighbors and our world\u2014expressing repentance and contrition for sin and interceding for healing, wholeness, peace, and justice,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/ct\/2023\/february-web-only\/asbury-revival-1970-2023-methodist-christian-holy-spirit.html\">Submitted<\/a> Thomas H. McCall from Asbury Theology, who attended the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no pressure or hype. There is no manipulation. There is no high-pitched emotional fervor. To the contrary, it has so far been mostly calm and serene,\u201d He added. \u201cI know that God moves in mysterious ways; Jesus tells us that the Spirit blows where it wills,\u201d He added.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It is nameless and facesless, which is what I love about the Asbury revival of Kentucky. It\u2019s not about personalities. It\u2019s just people getting desperate for God. It\u2019s Day #7 and the worship continues. Lord, let this hunger reach every church and spill out into the streets. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Dda73LfjMK\">pic.twitter.com\/Dda73LfjMK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lee Grady (@LeeGrady) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeeGrady\/status\/1625564645397303338?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 14, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is so incredibly beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>These kids are about to enter their SEVENTH day of worship.<\/p>\n<p>A FULL WEEK OF WORSHIPPING GOD!<\/p>\n<p>A great revival is coming. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yn5HHD2kox\">pic.twitter.com\/yn5HHD2kox<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Graham Allen (@GrahamAllen_1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrahamAllen_1\/status\/1625655248084783104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 15, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Students reportedly came from Purdue University, Indiana Wesleyan University, Ohio Christian University, \u00a0the University of Kentucky, the University of the Cumberlands, Transylvania University, Midway University, Lee University, Georgetown College, and Mt.
