A LOOK AT THE AZUSA STREET REVIVAL (transcript)

Acts 2:4
Psalm 85:6
Isaiah 57:15

The Azusa street revival was a revival that occurred in 1906 in Los Angeles California.
It happened in the month of April as African Americans gathered together asking for God's Spirit.
It changed lives forever and forged friendships that lasted till death.
312 Azusa street in a white washed building is where it happened.

Millions found Jesus Christ through this revival and there was an out flowing of the supernatural during this revival.
William Seymour the one eyed African American preacher who God used to ignite the revival was a man noted for humility.
He was also known as a man of prayer who prayed 5-7 hours daily.
Acts 2:4 was the major Bible passage of the Azusah  revival which is a baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire.
During the revival many people realized they started speaking languages they never learned, some started playing musical instruments they had not learned to play when the Holy Spirit descended.
I believe the Welsh revival of 1904 inspired the Azusah street revival of 1906.
The Azusah street revival brought great joy.
Hundreds began to gather to Azusah street and gave their lives to Christ at the start of the revival and it spread out from there.

Although it was a work of God's Spirit it attracted great criticism and mockery.

During the revival no service was ever the same.
The meetings were never planned.
Each service was different from the other, God's Spirit was allowed to have His way and teach through who ever He wanted.
When anyone spoke from the flesh it was immediately and politely turned down.
During this revival angel choruses were heard among the people and tongues of fire were seen on peoples heads, faces glowed and angel songs were sang during services.

Personally, I believe a revival of God's Spirit and the revival of the Kingdom message is what the nations of the world needs in this day and age.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention.

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
