Jesus Was There 4/9 Tuesday Truth

Tuesday marks the 107th anniversary of the beginning of the Azusa Street Revival, which was the beginning of the Pentecostal / charismatic movement. Services went on in the little African-American mission (transformed from a stable) on Azusa S

treet in Los Angeles nonstop for 3 1/2 years. People came from around the world to experience the move of the Holy Spirit, which restored the gift of tongues, accelerated the concurrent revival of the gift of healing, and spurred the biggest missionary movement since the time of the apostles. It is estimated that 80% of the salvations worldwide today are through Pentecostal / charismatic ministries.



When I was telling this story [the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace] to my little girl one day, she asked me, "Don't you think they were sorry when they had to come out, because Jesus was there with them?"
