"Let's go!"
That is sad. And I think there are a lot of people who are pinning their hopes on this, that it is real and will sweep the nation and save us all.The India Ghost Dances occurred when Indians were fully losing their way of life. They were losing all hope, then created hope through the spiritual Ghost Dances, which ultimately was supposed to send the White Man packing and restore to the Indians their way of life.
The way of life of those in the USA is being threatened big time. We can see things slipping away and we can see the proverbial writing on the wall. It wouldn't be surprising to see, especially young Americans, look for a faux spiritual solution to all that ails us at this apparently very late hour.
Not intending to judge what's been happening in Asbury recently, I like to be optimistic about such things, but the explanation above is why it led me to think of the Indian ghost dances.
I’m thinking if the kids are being drawn into prayer, well that’s a good thing. I think everyone should just leave them alone. Let them seek the Lord and we all should not try to analyze it. But we are, one because we are all gun-shy about revivals, for very good reasons. But also, we all hope a little, or wish.
