Pray against the evil in our land. 

Many abortion clinics in Ohio went bankrupt because of a young minister's militancy against them. So much damage was done that they sued him for $11.5 million dollars. Then they saw that Rod Parsley was happy about the suit as he went Pray Militantly around gathering lawyers to fight them.

So they said, "Well, just forget it. We have decided not to sue you."  His church prayed militantly. When they went out on the street corners, they prayed with strength and vigor and power and will. They went out in the whole armor of God.

Prayer is one of our main weapons in these spiritual battles, but unless we pray militantly, our prayers are not effective. Prayer also allows us to learn God's strategy in every situation. Get alone with the Lord, and pray militantly. You will receive inspiration and creative ideas from the Holy Spirit which will bring victory.

A Burning Desire

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

A Burning Desire.

Many people just pray casually, “God, answer my prayer,” and before walking out of the church have forgotten all the things they prayed for. That kind of attitude will never bring the faith and touch of God. You need to have a burning desire.

Proverbs 10:24 reads, “The desire of the righteous shall be granted.” Psalms 37:4 says, “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” You should have a burning desire for a goal, and you must keep on seeing that goal accomplished.

When I started my ministry, I had a burning desire in my soul, a burning goal to build the largest church in Korea. That desire was burning in me so much that I was living with it, sleeping with it, and walking with it. Now after twenty years it has been said that my church is the largest church in the world.

You have to have a burning desire in your heart. If you do not have a burning desire, then wait and ask God to impart His desire to your heart. God does not like the lukewarm, for He specializes only in the red-hot; if you have that red-hot burning desire, then you are going to have results.

The Old-Timers Holy Spirit

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a short article by an old time Holy Ghost evangelist.

Why does it seem the old timers operated in such Holy Ghost power generations ago? But, today there seems to be a famine of the power of God in operation and the miracles? 

Because, they were connected more to another realm then they were to earth. These days so many people are connected to the things of this world, temporal things! Woodworth-Etter, Lake and Wigglesworth operated in such power, because the world didn't have its hooks them! That's a key that has been lost for generations, being connected to a place called heaven.  

 The problem with a lot of churches is they got so modern and polished, they don’t give place for the Holy Ghost to move in a service. They’ll make sure they’ll get their sermon done, but they won’t give the Holy Ghost no extra time for ministry. That’s what the old timers did and that’s why they saw all the miracles they saw.

312 Azusa Street

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

312 AZUSA STREET

Everyone knew another meeting place had to be found quickly. The Asbery home could no longer accommodate the crowds. So on April 14, 1906, Seymour and his elders set out to find the perfect place. They wandered around the city near their area until they came upon a dead-end street that was about a half a mile long. It was there, in the industrial business section of Los Angeles, that Seymour found what had once been an old Methodist church. 

After its use by the Methodists, the building had been remodeled for a different purpose. It had been divided in half, the top section having been turned into apartments. But a fire had destroyed the floor, and the cathedral-shaped roof had been flattened and covered with tar.

When Seymour acquired the building, the top floor was being used for storage, while the bottom floor had been converted into a horse stable. The windows were broken, and bare electric light bulbs hung from the ceiling. Seymour was offered the building for eight dollars a month.

As the word got out, people came from everywhere to help restore the building. A. G. Osterburg, the pastor of the local Full Gospel Church, paid several men to help renovate the building. Volunteers swept the floors and whitewashed the walls. J. V. McNeil, a devout Catholic and owner of the largest lumber company in Los Angeles, donated lumber for the cause. Sawdust was placed on the floor, and planks were nailed to wooden barrels for use as pews. Two empty crates were nailed on top of each other to act as Seymour’s pulpit.

It was in this humble, skidrow-like setting that Azusa Street prepared themselves for international revival.
