=== Holiness Movement Begun (04:29) ===

[00:00:00]  And you know, the reason that the church is still alive today in the world is because God's people have opened up to the Holy Spirit.
[00:00:10]  How vital is the Holy Spirit for revival?
[00:00:12]  You cannot make it without it.
[00:00:14]  That's right.
[00:00:15]  You cannot make it without it.
[00:00:16]  You know, there's a scripture in Romans.
[00:00:19]  Let me read this.
[00:00:21]  You need to know this scripture as much as you know John 3, 16.
[00:00:26]  None of us can live without John 3.16.
[00:00:29]  But you need this scripture just as much.
[00:00:31]  I'll read into it.
[00:00:33]  This is Romans 8, verse 12.
[00:00:36]  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
[00:00:43]  For if you live according to the flesh, you will die.
[00:00:47]  But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
[00:00:53]  And here's what everybody should memorize, just like you memorized John 3, 16.
[00:01:00]  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
[00:01:08]  So good.
[00:01:09]  Dear ones, you didn't get saved without the Holy Spirit working in your life.
[00:01:14]  That's right.
[00:01:15]  You didn't get saved without that.
[00:01:17]  Our dear holiness people throughout the 1800s taught sanctification because they said you need a deeper work of the Holy Spirit.
[00:01:26]  Their misunderstanding was that that was the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
[00:01:31]  But it was not.
[00:01:32]  That was a sanctifying experience by the Holy Spirit.
[00:01:35]  But thankfully, at the turn of the 20th century, a Methodist preacher by the name of Charles Fox Parham of the little Bible school in Topeka, Kansas, asked his students to study the Bible and said, is there more?
[00:01:50]  Because he was of the holiness movement, saved and sanctified.
[00:01:53]  And they found there were manifestations when you allow the Holy Spirit to control you.
[00:01:58]  And one of the manifestations was speaking in tongues.
[00:02:02]  And there was healings, of course, and others.
[00:02:04]  So they began to preach that if you will allow yourself to have the Holy Spirit lead you, control you, guide you, there will be manifestations.
[00:02:15]  And one of those will be the speaking in tongues.
[00:02:17]  And that's what began to move.
[00:02:19]  And it was there that revival was born.
[00:02:22]  Of course, they didn't understand it.
[00:02:24]  And they discouraged Charles Parham.
[00:02:27]  He gave up his vision, but then he moved to Houston, Texas, and God renewed his vision.
[00:02:34]  Does that sound familiar?
[00:02:35]  When you've lost, and then you start over again?
[00:02:38]  Does that sound familiar?
[00:02:40]  But in Houston, Texas, he started again.
[00:02:42]  And there in that Bible school was a dear black brother, William Seymour.
[00:02:46]  And he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
[00:02:49]  He was a holiness preacher.
[00:02:50]  And later on, he was invited to Los Angeles to preach at a holiness church.
[00:02:55]  On Sunday morning, he preached the whole load, all of it, because he was excited about the Pentecostal experience.
[00:03:02]  Well, that night when he came back for the service, they locked the door and said, we don't want to hear you.
[00:03:07]  You're not welcome.
[00:03:08]  But one of the sisters says, come to my house.
[00:03:10]  We want to hear more.
[00:03:11]  And a group of people gathered in their home there, and they had church.
[00:03:15]  And it went on weeks.
[00:03:18]  They had so many people coming.
[00:03:19]  They get to praising God and shouting and dancing.
[00:03:22]  And the floor fell through.
[00:03:24]  But they said, we've got to get a different place.
[00:03:27]  And so they looked and found an old abandoned warehouse on Azusa Street.
[00:03:31]  And there on Azusa Street, they began to have church.
[00:03:34]  For three and a half years, the Spirit of the Lord moved, and the Pentecostal movement was born.
[00:03:39]  And out of that came the Church of God and the Assemblies of God and the Forest Square and all of the Pentecostal women.
[00:03:45]  And the greatest, largest holiness movement was the Church of God in Christ.
[00:03:50]  They were holiness at that time.
[00:03:51]  And they embraced the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
[00:03:55]  And now today, the Church of God in Christ is the largest denomination in the United States.
[00:04:00]  And the Assemblies of God embraced it, and they were birthed out of that.
[00:04:04]  And around the world, they're the largest Pentecostal denomination.
[00:04:08]  And no matter where you go, South America, Central America, Africa, India, it doesn't matter.
[00:04:14]  The greatest move of God is with people that will allow the power of the Holy Spirit to move through their life.

=== Mighty Outpouring of the Holy Spirit (00:35) ===

[00:04:20]  It's exploding and it's getting ready to explode again.
[00:04:24]  It's going to come among these young people and among these seeker-friendly churches that are so hungry for God.
[00:04:30]  They're there by the tens of thousands.
[00:04:32]  And suddenly there's going to be a sound from heaven and it's going to fill all the house where they're sitting.
[00:04:38]  And there's going to appear cloven tongues like as a fire.
[00:04:41]  And you're going to see a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit like never before because we're living in that glorious day.
[00:04:48]  Hear me, ladies and gentlemen.
