Miracles and humility: the heart of the Asbury revival
The extraordinary events of the Asbury revival continue to inspire hearts two years after they first captivated the world. Pastor Zach Meerkreebs has reflected on the powerful move of God he witnessed firsthand. He describes the experience as the 'honour of a lifetime’, often bringing him to tears due to its profound impact. There were remarkable miracles, including healings, deliverance, and conversions. He recalls a basketball player who came to Christ midweek and later prayed for someone whose tumours vanished. These events, he says, demonstrate the transformative power of God's presence. Having grown up Jewish, Meerkreebs credits Jesus' incarnation with revealing true humility. His initial struggles with pride were dismantled during the 2023 Asbury outpouring, a time when students and the community gathered for continuous prayer and worship. Central to this revival was radical humility, where individuals emptied themselves to make room for God's Spirit. Meerkreebs believes such humility, countercultural in today's self-centred world, can profoundly transform lives.
