PROPHECIES FROM THE AZUSA STREET REVIVAL

TEXT: ACTS 15: 14-18

Key verse: Acts 15: 18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the 

world.

Among those attracted to the revival were not only members of the Holiness Movement, but also Baptists, Presbyterians and others, with reports of the blind having their sight restored, diseases cured instantly, and immigrants speaking in German, Yiddish, and Spanish all being spoken to in their native language by uneducated black members, who translated the languages into English by "supernatural ability".

There were spontaneous preaching and altar calls for salvation, sanctification and baptism of the Holy Spirit. The members of the mission never took an offering, but there was a receptacle near the door for anyone who wanted to support the revival. The core membership of the Azusa Street Mission was never more than 50–60 individuals, with hundreds if not thousands of people visiting or staying temporarily over the years.

Thousands of individuals visited the mission to witness it firsthand. At the same time, thousands of people were leaving Azusa Street with intentions of evangelizing abroad. Other visitors left the revival to become missionaries in remote areas all over the world. So many missionaries went out from Azusa that within two years the movement had spread to over fifty nations.

When the Revival began to wind down about 1910, there were some prophecies from Azusa Street of things that will happen to the Pentecostal Movement. They predicted the apostasy of the Pentecostal movement and the falling away of those who once believed: The overemphasis on power, instead of righteousness; An over-emphasis on praise to a God they no longer pray to; An over-emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit, instead of the lordship of Jesus Christ. 

In 1910, William Seymour stood up and said “100 years from now, there will come a revival that will make this one look pale in comparison.

Thought for the day: The Lord raised HOREMOW 100 years later in 2009 as 

prophesied for the final revival of holiness before His return

Song for the day: Jesus is Alpha, He is Alpha and Omega

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 14-16; 1 Timothy 5
