110th Anniv of Azusa Now; Racial Reconciliation Part 4

by Greg Lancaster

There were powerful miracles that God did in the Azusa Now event celebrating the 110^th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California. For the Church to walk in the power of healing, we must humbly embrace repentance and forgiveness. In America, our nation is experiencing such a tension of racial division, but this doesn’t mean that God can’t still do awesome work. As the Church, it matters how we handle and respond to the issue of race in our nation.

As Lou Engle and a friend were seeking the Lord for revival, the man had a dream. In this dream, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was carrying a white bag with black handles. MLK, Jr. turned the bag upside down and violently shook out the contents of the bag and threw it to the ground. When the man went to pick up the bag, MLK, Jr. said, “NO!” After seeking the Lord for the interpretation of the dream, the Lord revealed, “It’s a white bag, and it’s the black handles. This is how your generation of blacks, African Americans, have handled the white baggage. You’ve been carrying it for way too long.” The words the man continues to share cannot be ignored. “Get rid of your bitterness. Get rid of your resentment. Get rid of your unforgiveness. Get rid of your guilt manipulation. Get rid of your white baggage so that we can all get into this new vehicle that’s gonna bring revival and justice for everybody.” The question for all of us is, “What color is your baggage?”

With representatives from all across America, Selma, Birmingham, Ferguson, Los Angeles, who have suffered from the tensions of racial division, a man shares this powerful thought, “I believe that if we had continued in that supernatural grace, poured out at Azusa Street, there would have been no need for an American Civil Rights Movement because all of the generational wounding, the trauma, and the pain, as well as the institutional racism, the structures that keep men in oppression, would have crumbled under the power of the One who reconciles all things…I believe (God) didn’t want a Civil Rights Movement; He wanted a Civil Righteousness Movement inaugurated by Jesus Christ on the Cross built upon the revelation of the resurrected Christ.”

This man continues to share how the tag line for the Azusa Street Revival was the Comforter has come! No matter who we are, where we come from, or what our history may be, God is intimately aware of the oppression that has taken place in our lives. God cares about every injustice. He is Justice. If we do not forgive others, God will not forgive us. Are we ready to forgive? The only answer to a divided nation is a unified Church. “Perhaps your baggage you thought was your pain, but I would suggest our baggage might be how we think about our pain.”

“For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.” 1 Peter 2:19

“If we want to be reconciled to men, we must first be reconciled to God…are we willing to empty our bags?” Are you ready to forgive? How you know this is that you are willing to unify and ready to deal with the issues in your life. And that you are ready to be around those that you have held unforgiveness against.

Much oppression and persecution are coming on the face of the earth, and we will need each other! Also, a great harvest of souls is coming as well, and unity in the Church is a must. A move of God requires us all to come together!

It is important that we do not come into agreement with the enemy, the accuser of the Church. We can’t believe the lies that the enemy sows and in the Word of God it points out that satan“…accuses them before our God day and night…,” Revelation 12:10. If we give validity to the thoughts or words that criticize others, then we agree with satan’s plans and not God’s plans. Allen Hood, with International House of Prayer, shares a powerful prophetic word about what God is doing to combat the plans and schemes of satan. “The Lord is raising up a global upper room to war 24/7 against the accuser of the brethren that accuses the saint’s day and night. God is raising up a house of prayer to answer the accusation of satan and God is going to anoint that prayer meeting and bring forth a John 17:21 moment of exalting the Lamb, exalting the name of Jesus.”

Let us stand united together as they did at Azusa Now and ask God for these powerful words to come to pass! We need revival right now! We want to hear from you and what you think about this! You can write to us at Friends@VFNKB.com. Greg and John shared in this segment.

Azusa Now! Billy Graham’s Mantle About to Fall on America for a Great Harvest of Souls Part 3

Christians from all over the world gathered in California at the Los Angeles Coliseum for the 110^th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival that took place in 1906. What God is doing now is a precursor to many of the prophetic words of a coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is such an exciting encounter not only to witness what God is doing but also to be part of the generation when it is happening.

The last time such a monumental event occurred in the Los Angeles Coliseum was during the Billy Graham Crusades in 1963. During this crusade, from August 15^th to September 8^th, a total of 920,927 gathered during the events. If these events are not exciting, take into consideration the prophetic word Lou Engle, founder of The Call, shared during the Azusa Now event. “The proclamation of the Gospel, signs, and wonders, and stadiums will be filled, and Billy Graham’s Mantle is coming on the nation.”

A close friend of Lou’s, Rabbi Jason Sobel, a Messianic Believer, which means a Jew who has received Jesus as The Messiah, had a significant dream. In this dream, the man received a phone call from four Ruth’s: Ruth Prince, Derrick Prince’s wife who loved Israel, Ruth Graham, Billy Graham’s wife, Ruth Heflin who is a friend of Israel, and Ruth from Ruth and Boaz as described in the Book of Ruth in the Bible. The Bible shares that anyone that is not a Jew is considered a Gentile. When Jew and Gentile unite together, it is significant!

Lou shares the significance of this dream and what it means. “I knew the dream meant that there was coming a call when the Gentile Ruth’s would begin to unite together all across the globe and begin to declare ‘Your people will be my people,’ we’re in that moment right now!” Rabbi Sobel continues to describe the significance of the moment. “I believe that we are in a John 21 moment where the Lord is about to tell us to cast the net and this is the greatest catch the world has ever seen. IT IS ABOUT TO COME NOW! They (disciples) were fishing all night and caught nothing and Messiah said throw the net on the right side of the boat. Why on the right side? Because that is the side of love, that is the side of unity, that is the side of relationship. And until we join that, the great catch won’t come.”

As the book of Ruth describes, Ruth was a destitute, homeless and hungry Gentile Moabite woman. But when she met Boaz, all of that changed. Rabbi Sobel expresses, “When she entered into covenant relationship with a Jewish man, Boaz, and when they came together in covenant relationship, she didn’t just get the gleanings of the field she got the full inheritance.” The significance of the four Ruth’s in the prophetic dream that Rabbi Sobel received shows a powerful perspective on the genealogy of Jesus. Rabbi Sobel continues, “There are four women in the genealogy of Yeshua Jesus, they are all Gentiles. Why? Because, The Kingdom of God, The Messianic King, and The Kingdom cannot be birthed unless Jew and Gentile birth it together. When we do, we see the Kingdom of God come on Earth as it is in Heaven. That’s why the Enemy has historically tried to divide Jew and Gentile because he knows that when you unite in the Messiah, we become an unstoppable force for global change and transformation. It’s time to heal the original schism in the Church. The first division was between Jew and Gentile. When we heal that schism, when we repair that division we will see the great catch of John 21…there will be a worldwide outpouring of the Holy Spirit!”

As Rabbi Sobel continues to declare these truths, “First in English, then with my Arab brother here, in Arabic, because friends, ISAAC AND ISHMAEL ARE COMING BACK TOGETHER! THE FAMILY IS BEING HEALED! WE ARE ONE IN MESSIAH!” As the scripture verse of Ruth 1:16 is projected onto the many screens on the stage, tens of thousands of believers cry out the words of Ruth 1:16 in unison, “DO NOT PLEAD WITH ME TO ABANDON YOU, TO TURN BACK FROM FOLLOWING YOU. FOR WHERE YOU GO, I WILL GO, AND WHERE YOU STAY, I WILL STAY. YOUR PEOPLE WILL BE MY PEOPLE, AND YOUR GOD WILL BE MY GOD.” When Ruth made this declaration, she was making a sacrificial covenant as Lou shared and we can choose to do the same!

Be encouraged to see the Church come together and join in with the declaration. As one draws closer to the Lord it is important to be built up as a disciple of Jesus, so you can keep going no matter what you face. You can do that through Emmaus Road which is a discipleship journey, and it will teach you how to walk as Jesus did. You can start today, and this will also equip you to lead others on the same discipleship journey! It is important for us to be ready for the harvest of souls that are coming into the Kingdom of God! Also, you must make a decision for Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior to be a part of this and you can do that today if you haven’t already! We made this same decision and shared our testimonies at Meet My Father. Read those stories and don’t wait another moment to make Jesus the Lord of your life. We want to hear from you if you made this decision! Welcome to the family! You can write to us at Friends@VFNKB.com. Greg shared in this segment.

It is refreshing to see a move of God among the young people in the world! We encourage every young person to go after God with everything in them. As one draws closer to the Lord it is important to be built up as a disciple of Jesus, so you can keep going no matter what you face. You can do that through Emmaus Road which is a discipleship journey and it will teach you how to walk as Jesus did. You can start today, and this will also equip you to lead others on the same discipleship journey! It is important for us to be ready for the harvest of souls that are coming into the Kingdom of God!

Todd White, with Lifestyle Christianity, who boldly follows the Lord, spoke at Azusa Now at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and he released the mantle of evangelism over an entire generation! “In the name of Jesus, I thank you that they would be conduits for the Holy Spirit to flow through, right now. God, I thank You that evangelism only from the stage would not be the only thing. That we would live as believers that are filled with the Holy Ghost. That everywhere we go, signs and wonders would flow through our hands; that words of knowledge would flow through your lives right now. I thank you that grassroots evangelism, that normal everyday life, everywhere we go, everywhere we walk, every shopping store we enter, every drugstore we enter. DO YOU WANT THIS??!! DO YOU WANT THIS??!! NOW IS THE TIME!!” Everyone yells out in agreement that they do want to walk this way!

We must remember that there is no baby Holy Spirit and that no matter our age we can all have the same Holy Spirit and walk as Jesus walked in signs and wonders. We can have as much of God as we want! Cry out to God, as Todd implores us to do, for the fire of God to come into our lives right now in Jesus name!

Shawn Bolz speaks next at Azusa Now, and he shares a few things that God has been revealing to him which were some words of knowledge about certain people that were in the gathering. A word of knowledge are things about your current life that are revealed to someone from the Lord.

He prophetically begins to call these things out, “Is there a Kenny, or a Kenneth Ray and a Patricia Lou who came together?” Much to everyone’s surprise, a couple, standing in the crowd, excitingly begins to wave their hands. “Tell me if these names mean anything to you, David, Esther, John, Sarah. Does that make sense?” It turns out they are Kenny and Patricia’s children. Shawn continues and speaks of healing that is taking place and that, “God is sending you guys back to Oregon. Does this make sense?” The hands continue to wave confirming his words. Shawn continues to share encouraging prophetic words for this couple regarding what the Lord is doing in their lives, but Shawn also shares words of knowledge to others in the crowd. It is prophecy like this that demonstrates how much Jesus Christ loves each one of us.

“From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us.” Acts 17:26-27

God knows everything about you! There is much excitement walking with God, and He wants you to be a part of all that He has for you! You must make a decision for Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior to be a part of this and you can do that today! We made this same decision and shared our testimonies at Meet My Father. Read those stories and don’t wait another moment to make Jesus the Lord of your life. We want to hear from you if you made this decision! Welcome to the family!

Soldiers HEALED, Word and the Spirit, Pin Point Accurate Words of Knowledge, Azusa NOW on 110th Anniversary Azusa Street Revival Part 1

by Greg Lancaster

LISTEN or WATCH NOW!

God is moving on the earth and is pouring out His Spirit on His Church and the whole earth! This has taken place at Azusa Now at the Los Angeles Coliseum where people from all over the world joined together to remember the 110^th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival.

At this gathering, as people were worshiping God healed people! In a special moment, God healed several men who are U.S. soldiers and were injured by Improvised Explosive Devices, IED’s. The injuries affected their hearing, and each of these men had severe hearing loss.

One man shares his story, “When I was 19 in 2006, I was in Afghanistan, as an infantry soldier and there was a suicide bomber that was seven feet away from me, blew himself up. I spent a year in rehabilitation recovering, and the Lord has done a lot already. I had maybe 20% hearing loss in my left ear and the worse thing was that God not only healed me of that, that I can already hear better in my left ear, but I have such bad crackling that I have to go to the very back of the church when I worship because it’s like a broken speaker. I have to muffle my ear to worship. And now I am here, and I would never be here, completely healed!”

Another man shares his testimony, “I am a soldier still in the Army, in 2009 there was a suicide vest that went off, and I hurt my right ear. I had 40% hearing loss for the last seven years, and today when asked to raise my hand I did it in faith and brothers they prayed for me…I felt a boom and a pop, and now I can hear 100% from my right ear.”

Next, a man shares his healing testimony, “2011 I lost hearing due to an IED…in Afghanistan, serving in the Marine Corps…dealing with that for five years not being able to hear, lost a few friends because they thought I was deaf. As soon as I heard the call, I raised my hand, I thought somebody was snapping in my ear, I opened my eyes, and no one was snapping…now I hear way better, I can hear!”

This is so exciting to see these healings take place and to specifically see those that have defended our freedom in America be healed! Praise the Lord! It is just like Acts 2, in the Bible, where people are gathered together from all over the world, and the Holy Spirit moves in their midst.

One leader that spoke at Azusa Now, the founder of Youth with a Mission, Loren Cunningham, shares what he has noticed about moves of God that last. Specifically, he learned that we shouldn’t just love a move of the Spirit, but we must also love the Word of God! Those two must come together and currently according to George Barna, 81% of American Christians do not read the Bible. We must change this, and we can learn this wisdom from Loren. He shares this scripture,

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14

“That is not saying the glory of the Lord will cover it, that’s saying that knowledge of it. In other words, people are going to know the glory of the Lord. They are going to know about Him. That’s our job; we need to realize that God has included us in reaching this goal so that the world will be saturated with the Word of God about Jesus. Because Jesus is the Word within the Word.”

Loren shares a quote from Smith Wigglesworth, which he was fruit from the Azusa Street Revival. “Whenever the Word comes together with the Spirit, we will have the greatest spiritual awakening the world has ever known.”

Loren continues, “God loves America, but He also loves the other nations. And today we stand at the brink of something that could happen. When Jonathan Edwards began to lead out, and it turned into a spiritual awakening across America, they not only had the Gospel, but they had the Word of God. The Bible was in every public school, was in every classroom. They read every day; they prayed every day in every public school in America. That was virtually in all the homes in America and out of that when the Spirit and the Word came there was a great Spiritual Awakening. Secondly, when Azusa Street took place, again at that time, the Bible was being read in all public schools, and also there was prayer in every school, that was in that time. That’s why the Spirit and the Word coming together…as you understand the two coming together, that’s where the power is released.”

He shares how a Great Awakening is coming to the world! The key to this is to get the Bible made available in every language on the earth, and he shares how his ministry is working to make this possible. This will come by the year 2020! And he shares how there is a wave that is growing, “On that wave that is growing, growing, growing, it is going to be the wave that, those that are 30 and below, you’re going to get to ride the wave, the biggest spiritual wave that has ever taken place in all of history and the rest of us are going to pull you up with jet skis to the top. And, when you’re riding the wave, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen. There’s the foam that comes over the top, after a while. Keep riding it, because there are people that haven’t heard yet. And we’re gonna keep riding it until every person on Earth has the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord.”

We must prepare ourselves for this wave that is growing and be ready to ride it! This is a powerful declaration and imagery of what God is doing throughout the Earth! This encouraging word that was delivered seized the entire audience to respond to the Lord, entering covenant with the Lord. “Now in earlier times in Israel, for the redemption and transfer of property to become final, one party took off his sandal and gave it to the other. This was the method of legalizing transactions in Israel.” Ruth 4:7 The very words of Loren are an invitation to what the Lord is doing. It is a divine interruption into the plans that we may be planning. Will we continue our plans or give our lives to the plans of the Lord? Shoes could be seen, lifted high into the air, across the Coliseum, as thousands responded to this divine interruption. Let us join in this covenant and work to bring the Word of God to the world!

You can partner with VFNKB as we work to bring the Light of Jesus all over the world. We reach the world every day through our program, and we would love to have you be a part in sharing Jesus with those in need. What do you think about this? We want to hear from you!

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14

“WE ARE FREE! WE ARE FREE!” What Was it Like Coming Out of the Holocaust?

A Holocaust survivor shares what it was like coming out of the Holocaust and his rescue from this tragedy. Can you imagine what it would be like to witness this terrible time? Many did go through this, and we can go through it with this man as he shares his personal story.

“I had nightmares for a couple of months. You know, waking up thinking I’m still in the camps. And I was so happy that I was in a real bed. In order to get a little pleasure which, there wasn’t too much of it in the camps, I made friends with two polish kids. We didn’t get too much sleep and we used to just get out real early in the morning because, in the barracks, it was just crying, and screaming, and praying. It wasn’t unusual that a prisoner who was lying next to you to go to sleep, when you woke up, they were dead…One morning we came out, and we noticed there were no guards in the guard towers. So, we are sneaking between the barracks towards the gate and lo and behold nobody is there. So, we get enough courage to go to the gate, and you notice there is a heavy chain with a lock on it.”

He shares how they notice through the fog a Russian guard. “I’m advanced guard. Nobody can leave the camp because they’re all sorts of diseases. You’re full of lice, and you haven’t been washing for months. But he says as he takes out his gun and shoots off the lock, Doctors will be coming, medication will be coming, food will be coming very shortly. So, the three of us, as fast as our skinny legs can carry us, we go to every barracks in the vicinity. Open up the door, and in every language that we know just yell, WE ARE FREE! WE ARE FREE! And you will never forget that moment, the sounds from the barracks.”

As he is moved to tears, he shares how he went into a bungalow that was in the camp that the prison guards stayed in and he turned on the water, and it was hot. There were clothes in the closet, towels, shampoo, soap, he has not seen for a year, and he does a little victory dance. “I take my first hot shower in a year, it’s wonderful.”

This really happened and affected thousands of Jews. History can repeat itself! We must pray and turn back to God! We can pray for those that are terrorizing and persecuting Jews and Christians for God to bring them to salvation. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

It’s About to Rain! God is about to Send an Outpouring!

by Greg Lancaster

LISTEN or WATCH NOW!

Are you ready for the rain? God is about to send an outpouring, and it is time for the Church to be ready. It can sometimes feel like the rain isn’t coming but take heart and hold on because it is time for the rain! If God has done it before, He can do it again. We are seeing the beginning stages of the blessings of God being poured out in revival with how the Church is starting to unify.

We can also look back over the history of revival and see how God moved, during times that were hard for people. Because of the faithfulness of God’s followers and their unwavering stand for God while they encountered opposition and a spiritual drought they helped usher in a countless amount of people, introducing them to God, His glory and ultimately salvation.

One man who helped during a spiritual drought was Elijah who is written about in the book of 1 Kings. There was an evil government in place, King Ahab, and Queen Jezebel, and Elijah was the prophet that God revealed His voice to in that hour. Through Elijah’s obedience to the voice of the Lord, he proclaims loudly “…As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.” And due to this word being delivered it did not rain for three years! Even in this season of drought, Elijah remained faithful to the Lord despite not hearing a new word from Him during this time.

When we stay faithful even during a drought, we will hear from God again. Just like Elijah did. In the midst of the parched and dry drought, Elijah once again proclaims a word to the government to, “…Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” It was about to rain. Remember, Elijah boldly said this without seeing any rain. After Elijah’s servant tells him, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”, Elijah commands his servant “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.” When we hear the voice of God, we must respond in action to what He has said.

Recently God has been continually speaking of such a large harvest that is going to sweep across the nations of the world. God is preparing us for a harvest of 1,000 people coming to Christ, every single week which this was revealed to Rick Joyner at Morningstar Ministries. Can you imagine 1,000 people, every week? These are exciting times coming to the Church! We need to get, get, get ready!

Allow your faith to be radically lifted and stirred as you are encouraged to remain steadfast to what the Lord said to you during these difficult seasons and to hold on to the encouragement of what the Lord desires to do.

WATCH! Remembering Reverend Billy Graham; and Prophetic Word of Mantle upon Billy Graham

BILLY GRAHAM, Life & Legacy; Tribute

For those that know the Lord, death is not a tragedy; it is a celebration. When considering the life of Reverend Billy Graham, there is nothing to mourn. He has gone to be with the Lord and is now in the presence of the Lord. Graham died at the age of 99 at his home. After a life dedicated to preaching the Gospel, hundreds of millions of people, have been impacted by his life. Reverend Billy Graham has touched the world for Jesus Christ.

As the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has chronicled, Billy Graham went to be with the Lord on February 21, 2018. What some may not know is that the Gospel was not his number one passion as a boy. “Back then, “Billy Frank,” as he was called, preferred baseball to religion. “I detested going to church,” he said when recalling his youth.” His life was radically transformed after attending a tent revival that was being held by the Evangelist Mordecai Hamm. “Ever since I received Christ as my savior in 1934 in Charlotte, I never had a doubt about my faith in God”.

When his life pursuit became the Gospel, this direction led him to the Florida Bible Institute. It was here that Graham surrendered to the Lord’s call to preach the Gospel. “Well, I got on my knees right there, and I said ‘Lord, I’ll go where You want me to go and I’ll be what You want me to be.” Upon finishing, he continued his education at Wheaton College, in Chicago. It was here that he met a fellow student, Ruth Bell, who would eventually be his wife. Shortly after graduating, they were both married.

His life didn’t start with large crowds and packed auditoriums. It was quite the opposite. Graham was a pastor in a Baptist church in Chicago. It was during this season that he received an invitation to preach on the radio. It was this event that sparked the invitation to join “The Youth for Christ.” Graham continued to preach. The event that launched him as one with international recognition today was his Crusades in Los Angeles. This event was scheduled for three weeks, but the crowds determined otherwise. The Crusades were extended for another five weeks.

Not only did Graham powerfully preach the Gospel, but he was also instrumental during the era of Civil Rights. “He insisted the ropes that separated blacks and whites be torn down during his crusades.” Amidst the many great exploits that the Lord carried out through the life of Graham, he remained a humble man. “I’m not that good; I’m not a great preacher; I’m just an ordinary, proclaimer of the gospel.”

It’s important to remember that the only reason such amazing things can happen in anyone’s life is that God has placed a mantle upon them. God had placed a mantle upon Billy Graham that empowered him to carry out what the world witnessed in his life. What is notable to mention is the prophetic word that was shared during the Azusa Now gathering led by Lou Engle and The Call. It was during this gathering that it was shared that Billy Graham’s mantle would be spread across an entire nation.

As Lou Engle, founder of The Call, shares, the Lord had spoken to him about the coming shift to The Call. “The Call is having a shift, and it won’t be just prayer, but it will be the proclamation of the Gospel; signs and wonders, and stadiums will be filled, and Billy Graham’s Mantle is coming on this nation.” Through a sequence of divine events, the news of this mighty event reached Billy Graham. He was greatly humbled by the news as he recalled the memory of preaching the Gospel in the same Coliseum that Azusa Now was held. In response, he shared, “It is good that this event is happening. It’s not about me though. It’s only about the glory of God. It’s about God’s glory alone. Tell them to stay focused on Jesus and the Cross.” Now is the time to receive all that the Lord has for us, at this moment, in this generation. The Glory of God is spreading across every area of this nation.

God has commissioned us to go to the nations of the world with His message of love. Will you go? Have you been impacted by the life of Reverend Billy Graham? Have you attended one of Reverend Billy Graham’s Crusades? We want to hear from you. See the full story of Reverend Billy Graham’s dedicated life, what brought him strength during his long seasons of traveling, and so much more.

Soldiers HEALED, Word and the Spirit, Pin Point Accurate Words of Knowledge, Azusa NOW on 110th Anniversary Azusa Street Revival Part 5

by Blogger Import

It is encouraging to see God moving upon an entire generation and hear the harmony of voices crying out for God to pour out His Spirit upon His Church and over the entire Earth. That is exactly what took place at Azusa Now at the LosAngeles Coliseum, when people from all over the world gathered to commemorate the 110^thanniversary of the Azusa Street Revival.

As people were worshiping and praising the Lord, God was healing people. It is beautiful when anyone gets healed. What makes this moment even more special, is that it was those who defend our freedom, that were healed. Three men shared their testimonies. After each of them suffered injuries from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) affecting their hearing, they all experienced severe hearing loss. One man expressed his hearing, because of the blast, this way; “I have such bad crackling that I have to go to the very back of the church when I worship because it’s like a broken speaker. I have to muffle my ear to worship.” But God gave him a new ear. “I’m here and I’m completely healed!” Three men ended up sharing their testimonies as to how the Lord healed them from similar injuries.

It was the Holy Spirit that touched these men, and it was the Holy Spirit that was moving all across the crowds throughout the entire day. As a man that God has used mightily throughout the Body of Christ, Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With A Mission, shared profound wisdom that was characteristic during the powerful outpouring of the Azusa Street Revival. Quoting Smith Wigglesworth, Cunningham stated, “Whenever the Word comes together with the Spirit, we will have the greatest spiritual awakening the world has ever known.” He continues to share this important truth, “That’s where the power is released. When the Word and the Spirit come together.” It is vital that we read our Bibles and we must also yield to the leading and presence of The Holy Spirit. Continue Reading…

[Part1 of 4] [Part2 of 4] [Part3 of 4] The encouragement continues to come as more is unpacked from the 15-hour event of Azusa Now that occurred on April 9^th commemorating the 110^th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival. Looking only at the surface of such a large gathering would cause one to miss the significance of this event. But, when we consider the diversity of the Body of Christ and the focus on repentance and reconciliation we can understand the Biblical significance of this monumental event.

A close friend of Lou Engle, Rabbi Jason Sobel, a Messianic Believer, which means a Jew who has received Jesus as The Messiah, had a significant dream. In this dream, the man received a phone call from four Ruths: Ruth Prince, Derrick Prince’s wife who loved Israel, Ruth Graham, Billy Graham’s wife, Ruth Heflin who is a friend of Israel, and Ruth from Ruth and Boaz as described in the Book of Ruth in the Bible. The Bible shares that anyone that is not a Jew, is considered a Gentile. When Jew and Gentile come together, it is a significant happening. Continue Reading…

Azusa Now! Billy Graham’s Mantle About to Fall on America for a Great Harvest of Souls Part 3

[Part1 of 4] [Part2 of 4] [Part4 of 4] On April 9^th, Christians from all over the world gathered in California at the Los Angeles Coliseum for the 110^th anniversary of the Azusa Street Revival that took place in 1906. What God is doing now is a pre-cursor to many of the prophetic words of a coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is such an exciting encounter to not only witness what God is doing, but also to be part of the generation when it is happening.

The last time such a monumental event occurred in the LosAngeles Coliseum was during the Billy Graham Crusades in 1963. During this particular crusade, from August 15^th to September 8^th, a total of 920,927 gathered during the course of events. If these events are not exciting, take into consideration the prophetic word Lou Engle shared during the Azusa Now event. “The proclamation of the Gospel, signs and wonders, and stadiums will be filled, and Billy Graham’s Mantle is coming on the nation.” Continue Reading…
