I got to this part of the book last night and I wanted to run around my bedroom
While I was earnestly inviting all sinners to enter into the holiest by this new and living way many of those that heard began to call upon God with strong cries and tears. Some sunk down, and there remained no strength in them; others exceedingly trembled and quaked; some were torn with a kind of convulsive motion in every part of their bodies and that so violently that often four or five persons could not hold one of them. I have seen many hysterical and epileptic fits; but none of them were like these in many respects.
I immediately prayed that God would not suffer those who were weak to be offended. But one woman was offended greatly, being sure they might help it if they would - no one should persuade her to the contrary; and was got three or four yards when she also dropped down, in as violent an agony as the rest.
Twenty-six had been so affected.
John Wesley, quoted from The Nature of Revival, Compiled by Clare George Weakley
I rarely get to see this. If this is what a UMC church is like, count me in!
