A friend sent me a link to a YouTube video for one. This was a few years ago.
There were many others I heard on Eric Mataxis' show, one of them predicting that God was going to give the "keys to the White House" to Trump in 2020. I think that IFA might have featured some in their articles, but it's been a few years.
I would need to dig through a lot to find these, but I'm sure this stuff can be looked up?

Detractors aside, it is awesome to see so many STILL coming to confess their sin, praise and worship the Lord. May god Bless them, and ALL the brethren:

Just a few thoughts.
Most of the conservative pastors and educators I know (people serious about their theology as well as their faith) are just politely giving this topic some space.
Why?
1.) Our Hope For Revival:
All Christians should hope for revival, in all places, and at all times.
2.) Occurrences Of Our Age:
However, over the past century, and especially the past few decades, the word "revival" has been used to label, and even market, some pretty odd occurrences... things which should make all Christians a bit wary and uncomfortable.
3.) Prudent Response - Prove All Things:
Therefore, when many of us hear about a new revival, we feel it's most prudent to be polite, say some prayers, keep some distance, and just politely let the event have it's space to unfold. If God is doing something special, then there will be lasting and apparent fruit... and if God is not doing something special, then that will become apparent also. Neither scenario requires my opinion, and neither scenario benefits from my opinion. I can be quiet, and watch, and pray.
Please note, this is not a position of spiritual apathy, or a position of doctrinal neutrality... this is an honest position of "I wasn't there, and I don't know everything."
4.) Final Thought:
I do however wish people could use this opportunity to really talk about the concept of revival... and what it really means.
Although we might, on occasion, see God move in a special way, in a particular time and place... that isn't the only, or even the most normative, manifestation of revival and renewal.
If we are born-again believers, then God's spirit is within us... and whenever we surrender to it... wherever we are... there is revival.
God Bless, and I hope we all experience revival and renewal, wherever we may be.

The way I look at it you have college kids worshipping the Lord and being a testimony to the world. Why would anyone have an issue with that?
I also think this may be a fulfillment of prophecy with the concept that pattern is prophecy. As the Lord approaches His second coming we would expect this reception just like we saw in His first coming.
However, if pattern is prophecy and this is just like Palm Sunday in the gospels we would also expect the Pharisees to be complaining about this and trying to shut them up.

Exactly, revival is a term the historians will determine. It is like the debates about the "GOAT", totally irrelevant to the people on the field.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Teddy Roosevelt

I don't have a problem with kids worshipping the Lord. The problem I have is when a certain form of worship (Charismatic worship) is the only acceptable form of worship. And when praise and worship becomes an end in itself. I find it interesting that when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness He didn't break out in praise and worship, he quoted scripture. God's word is where the power is. Charismatics have brainwashed people into thinking there's something special about praising and worshipping for hours or days on end. There's not; it's just vain repetition.
Still going with tried and true Pharisee label to shut people up I see.

Yes, I always go to the word to get light and understanding of what is going on.
Did you never read, "out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"
9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; 13 and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation, 16 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

I am not a charismatic, but you are completely wrong about "praising and worshipping for hours or days on end".
