Continued Outpourings

What the Holy Spirit is doing through Asbury University and other spiritual communities across the world is astounding.  The administration has made the decision to bring to a close the current phase of this revival on campus by ending the public worship services being offered.  And while everyone can understand the way something of this magnitude is overloading the infrastructure of the university and the small town of 6,000, the question still lingers in the air as to how do you shut this off, or down?  How do you turn off the faucet that is flowing and overflowing the places into which it is going?  How do you tell the Holy Spirit to stop?   

Of course, no one is saying such a thing.  Instead, it seems that there is a serious search for new vessels of sharing this powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  Today there have been reports of outbreaks of God's Spirit in Romania, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines.  And surely there are more than just these few.  The  Holy Spirit  is obviously doing something important in the life of the Kingdom of God.  Exactly what it is we cannot see and seeing it may be something which will only be seen in the future through hindsight.   

One thing is certain.  If God is not through with whatever He is about in pouring out His Holy Spirit on spiritual communities in our world, we will continue to see signs and wonders.  It has been such a long time since signs and wonders have been so evident before us.  It has been so long some are unable to recognize them for what they are.  But, we are being blessed in this generation by a work of the Holy Spirit that is unparalled for most of us. The only response I know is one of praise and thanksgiving.  May the blessings continue to overflow until even those who are unable to see find themselves immersed in the holiness of God's Spirit.
