A revival is reportedly occurring among college students at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and one young pastor said it shows “no signs of slowing down.” He said, “A spiritual movement is underway among the students, with hundreds making professions of faith and getting baptized almost daily.
We are seeing these people repent from compromise and make a decision to make a public declaration of,
“No, I want to give my whole life to Jesus starting today.’”
“And then we see them radically transformed before our eyes where their lifestyle is radically different, and they have the boldness to preach the Gospel to their friends like never before,”
“The culture of holiness has really been remarkable among these young people. They live in purity and righteousness even at this secular university,” the youth pastor continued. In August, the church held its annual outreach.
One thousand students attended, and 124 made professions of faith and were baptized. Students have also been going to college dorms, apartments, and homes to share the Gospel.
“We’ve had about 21 small group gatherings and young adult life groups. And I think the smallest is 20 people and the largest is 90 people. So over 400 [people] in these small group gatherings since Labor Day,” he said.
“I’m very hesitant to use the word revival, but I’m to the point where I don’t know what else to call it, especially in light of what is happening around our nation at multiple other college campuses. It really does seem like a nationwide move of God is taking place, and we just get to be part of it,” he said.
Is this the beginning of the latter rain and the return of Jesus?
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.
The Bible speaks of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit before Jesus returns.
Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Acts 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Acts 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joel 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
The First rain of the Holy Spirit started in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit was first poured out in an upper room.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The return of Jesus is near.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Paul says in Thessalonians 5: that only those who are of the night and darkness will he return as a thief in the night. He says Christians are of the day and light and will know when Jesus will return if they watch for him.
Paul tells all Christians who are of the light to be watchers so they will know of his return. So Jesus will not return as a thief in the night to the believers who are watching the signs for his return but only as a thief in the night to them who are of the night and darkness and not watching for his return.
