Is their a real move of God happening around the world ?

[paul]

Trying to step aside from the current debate of the lakeland revival. ( if possible) I will ask the following question. Is their a real move of God taking place in the world today. You cannot just limit the answer to any one country, but around the world. I contend that their is a mighty move of God happening.

What say ye ?

[Full Quiver]

Yes, but name a time when God was not up to something.

[Who new]

Yes, every time two of us get together, or one of us talks to him, he's involved. Seems more important to focus on recognizing his move on me and my responding accordingly than it is to have my sights set everywhere else. Just an experiential reality I've noticed.

Undeniably and in large ways and numbers. We can all Google stuff, and I found this observation interesting:

“While secular movements like communism, feminism, and environmentalism have gotten the lion’s share of our attention, the explosive southward expansion of Christianity in Africa, Asia, and Latin America has barely registered on Western consciousness,” said Philip Jenkins, distinguished professor of History and Religious Studies at Pennsylvania State University. Perhaps we like to consider ourselves the Christian West, but there is growing evidence that indicates Western Christians are not the whole show. In fact, Mr. Jenkins says that in just 20 years, two-thirds of all Christians will live elsewhere—in Africa, Latin America, or Asia.

Poverty, darkness and all sorts of bad things .... and God is right there. Prosperity and ease, relative comfort here, and we wonder, "Hey, where's God?" And, I'm reminded of Jesus' words about the poor and meek.

I'm also reminded of Dan Rather's observation on Larry King about 6 - 8 years ago about the most underreported news story of the year. I was slackjawed when Rather said the explosion of Christianity in China was that story.

So, yeah, I'd say God is moving around the world without a doubt.

Every time someone hears the gospel and it becomes powerful to them, God is moving.

I've talked to Missionaries, who say that God is moving in their country. But doesn't move in America because the ground is so hard.

Yes, but "where sin abounds grace also much more abounds"...

the grace is being poured even in America and it is for everyone.

One of the stats I came across was concerning the internet. With over one billion people on the Internet and alomost one million new people being added daily the second most popular search topic on the internet is " spiritual and religious" related information. I believe their is a spiritual revolution going on and it is happening right onder our noses and many don't see it or don't recognize it. From 1990-2000 the number of born again believers in the world doubled......
