Many times one may hear, "Is this a work of God or merely of men?" Sproul and Parrish discuss the views of Jonathan Edwards regarding how one may know if a revival is from God or is a concoction of men's manipulations. It's a careful work on the evidences of a true work of the Spirit in a movement. Edwards was a student of human emotional expression, seeing that both Divine and human factors can contribute.
As John cautioned us, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1) Jonathan Edwards argues that every spirit should be tested. He does not argue the response has to be miraculous. Just because the reaction could occur without supernatural response does not mean the Holy Spirit has not intervened.
God uses ordinary means to build His kingdom and the Holy Spirit leads the Christian in sharing God's word and to serve God. The Holy Spirit also leads the follower of Christ to respond emotionally. Rarely does the Holy Spirit use people to do God's miracles. The Holy Spirit commonly uses less spectacular methods.
