Top Stories: Swifties, Charles Simpson, Global Prayer Movement, @IsaiahSaldivar and Revival!

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Our Christian Swiftie is a thing. He gets us, is still making news, and there's a revival

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,040
breaking out on a college campus better known for being a party school. I'm John Madderazo

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,080
for CharismaNews.com, and these are the top stories of the week. Coming in at number five,

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,400
our Christian Swiftie is a thing. Abby Trivett wrote this piece here and brings in mention of a

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:29,520
small business in Wisconsin that made prayer candles featuring Swift and her NFL star boyfriend,

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,560
Travis Kelsey. And it's easy to idolize someone the entire world seems to approve of, but what do

7
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:43,680
we as Christians need to do to respond? How should we react? Definitely check that one out. That has

8
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,800
been a top article. Next, we have Charles Simpson. He's a pioneer in the charismatic renewal. He passed

9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,960
away on February 14th, and his son, who's now Stephen Simpson, who's now running his father's

10
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,760
ministry, made the announcement on social media about that. Please go to the website to check

11
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,120
out that story and to read more about this tremendous man of faith. Then we have Dr. Michael

12
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Brown's article in the line of fire, a word of encouragement to the global prayer movement.

13
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Here we've pinned the interview that he did with Stephen Strang in response to the International

14
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,800
House of Prayer situation that is ongoing. Really grateful that Dr. Brown has written this article

15
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:37,040
about how to help the people that are connected with the global prayer movement who are now hurting

16
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,520
with this. And so there's people all over that are hurting because of the actions that have happened

17
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,760
and how do we move forward? And so definitely recommend reading this article. The link will

18
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,520
be in the description of this video. Next, we have Isaiah Saldavar breaking down the controversial

19
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:03,440
He Gets Us Super Bowl ad. Now, he did a reaction video to this, and it's really interesting.

20
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,880
Basically, there are some people, some believe it is a gross misrepresentation of Jesus's act

21
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,840
of servant leadership when he washed the feet of his disciples, not the feet of unrepentant

22
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:20,800
sinners. On the other side of the coin, people think the reaction to the He Gets Us ad is unnecessary

23
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,800
and people need to just calm down. So Isaiah, he starts off his reaction video and finds a

24
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,920
discrepancy with the He Gets Us commercial and on their website, what they're actually stating.

25
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,320
He finds a discrepancy right away that conflicts the Bible. So you want to tune in to see that

26
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,600
and to read about that as well. Now, our final story, which is always exciting to report about

27
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,840
revival, that's why Charisma is here. The revival is here. Thousands turn to Jesus at the number

28
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:59,360
two party school. Hundreds are baptized in the fountain. So Florida State University in Tallahassee

29
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:06,800
is where this is happening, and we have reports of people being baptized in the fountain. And this

30
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:13,200
is exciting. The caption here said, it's happening again, FSU baptisms. Hundreds, maybe a thousand

31
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,360
students came forward to trust Jesus. We can't explain what's happening apart from the Spirit.

32
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,360
So you definitely want to read this article and be encouraged by how God is moving on college

33
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,840
campuses. Last year was the Asbury revival. Maybe this year is the Florida State revival,

34
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,360
but really we need revival everywhere, not just on college campuses. We need them in churches.

35
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,240
We need revival in places of work. We need revival everywhere. So be praying that this

36
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:50,640
continues. And this is a recent article. This has just happened recently. So pray that there is a

37
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:57,520
continued fanning of this flame. This is John Madarazzo for CharismaNews.com. Go to CharismaNews.com
