What ever happened to revival?

The recent Asbury Revival prompted huge excitement among many British charismatics and Pentecostals. But it has also prompted some uncomfortable questions, including why isn’t this happening more over here? When the Charismatic Renewal movement hit the UK in the 1980s, there was a moment when miraculous healings, demonic deliverance, speaking in tongues, the gifts of the Spirit and signs and wonders seemed to be becoming part of the everyday life of the church. And yet as the years turned into decades, it feels like things have slowly simmered back down. So why haven’t we seen more supernatural outpourings, more revivals, more outbreaks of the Spirit? For this week’s Premier Christian Newscast, Emma Fowle from Premier Christianity magazine gathered a small panel of Christian leaders, theologians and prophets to discuss what ever happened to the Charismatic Renewal and what the church might do if it wanted to usher the Spirit back into the building. Guests: - RT Kendall, theologian, author and former pastor of Westminster Chapel - Pete Hughes, Anglican minister and pastor of Kings Cross Church, London - Emma Stark, co-director of the Global Prophetic Alliance and Glasgow Prophetic Centre
