Today I am beginning a short series of quotes by Frank Bartleman, a leading figure and the historian of the Azusa Street Revival. This revival, which started in Los Angeles in 1906, was the beginning of the Pentecostal / charismatic movement. It was the beginning of the greatest spread of the gospel worldwide and the beginning of the breaking down of racial barriers in the church.
Some churches are going to be surprised to find God passing them by. He will work in channels where they will yield to Him. They must humble themeselves for Him to come... Some people are too well satisfied with their own goodness... God will humble them by passing them by. The Spirit is breathing prayer through us for a mighty, general outpouring. Great things are coming... God is moving. We are praying for the churches and their pastors. The Lord will visit those willing to yield to Him.
