The Assemblies of God has released an official Statement regarding contemporary revivals. Scriptural Guidelines for Assessing Revivals, as delivered by George O. Wood, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, is a straightforward call to discernment. I can’t help but think that this statement has been released as a result of the new charismania that has been getting more and more press as of late. The AG statement is solid and Biblically grounded; it provides a bit of legitimate hope for those of us who long for deep moves of the Holy Spirit and authentic revival that has less to do with keg-toting angels and weight-loss miracles and everything to do with Jesus Christ. The Assemblies of God would know, that’s for sure.
