Podcasts about azusa street

Hello, I'm Jeff Shepard. Welcome back. We have reached part 9 of 10 in this series. Over the past several episodes, we have traced one single lie from the Garden of Eden through every layer of deception that has entered the church. You will be like God. We saw how Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey laid the occult foundation. We examined Azusa Street and the Ladder Rain movement, where signs and wonders were mixed with chaos, extra-biblical revelations, and the elevation of man. Then we heard modern teachers openly declare that we are little gods, that Jesus was not fully God until his baptism or resurrection, and that we can ascend to the same level. Today, we pull it all together and look at the modern expression, the Seven Mountain Mandate and the not-so-secret New World Order Church. The Seven Mountain Mandate teaches that the church must take dominion over seven spheres, or mountains, of society, the government, media, education, business, family, religion, and arts and entertainment, and build the kingdom of God on earth before Jesus can return. Lance Wallnau, one of the leading voices of this teaching, explains it this way. There are seven molders of culture. He who could take those kingdoms could take the harvest of nations. These seven fields of influence can literally shape the agenda that forms nations. Johnny Enloe, in his book The Seven Mountain Prophecy, takes it even further. The father says to the son, once you have purchased redemption, you will remain up there as the head and your body on earth will crush your enemies. Your body, in fact, will not be a beautiful bride until she has accomplished this by crushing Satan. This is dominionism and Kingdom Now theology in action. The church is called to conquer and rule the nation so Jesus can finally return. It sounds spiritual, it sounds victorious, but it directly contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture. Jesus himself said in Matthew 24, 4-5, See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in my name saying, I am the Christ, and they will mislead many. The Apostle Paul warned in 1 Timothy 4-1, but the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. And in 2 Timothy 4, 3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. Revelation makes it plain, Jesus brings his kingdom when he returns. We are not called to build it for him. We are called to be faithful witnesses, to make disciples of individuals, and to live as salt and light in a fallen world until he comes. Even in the middle of all this mixture, God is still there for anyone who is genuinely seeking the real Jesus, the eternal Son of God who became flesh, died for our sins, rose again, and is coming back as King. He meets sincere seekers wherever they are. But we are commanded to test everything. We cannot accept teachers who deny the deity of Christ, who call us little gods, or who say we must conquer the nations before Jesus returns. The focus must remain on the unchanging word of God. Be a Berean. Search the scriptures daily. Do not let anyone, no matter how famous or how many miracles they claim to pull you away from the truth that Jesus is Lord, fully God, and fully man, and that salvation is found in Him alone. I'm Jeff Shepard. This series has been about exposing the subtle shift so you will not be deceived. Next episode, we conclude with Part 10.

Host Jeff Shepherd explores the complex legacy of the Azusa Street Revival in this episode, beginning with powerful testimony from two people who, as children, received lasting healings — one from deafness and one from tuberculosis — that endured for seventy years. These testimonies anchor the program's repeated point: God still heals, even amid flawed movements and confused leadership. The episode traces historical roots leading to Azusa Street, profiling Frank W. Sanford and his commune at Shiloh, Charles Fox Parham and his Bethel school (including his teachings that tongues were the sole evidence of the Spirit and his emphasis on divine healing), and William Seymour, the Black preacher who became the central figure at Azusa Street in 1906. Shepard reviews both contemporary praise for Azusa's miracles and sharp criticisms from respected Bible teachers who described chaos, occult influences, and moral failures within and around the meetings. Key topics include eyewitness accounts of extraordinary phenomena and disorder at Azusa, comparisons to later movements such as the Toronto Blessing, and the author's contention that many of these manifestations resemble the Kundalini or serpent energy rather than healthy fruit of the Holy Spirit. Scriptural framing is applied using Deuteronomy 18:9–12 and 1 Corinthians 12: the program affirms that spiritual gifts like healing and miracles are real, but warns that signs and wonders without faithful Word ministry invite deception. Shepard emphasizes discernment: genuine moves of God can be infiltrated by counterfeit spirits, and believers must test everything by Scripture, adopt a Berean spirit, and hold fast to the person of Jesus. The episode balances testimony of authentic miracles with sober historical critique and practical application: search the Scriptures daily, know the real Jesus, and remain anchored in the unchanging Word to avoid being deceived. Listeners can expect history, firsthand testimony, doctrinal analysis, and pastoral exhortation on how to recognize true revival versus imitation, all delivered with a call to love God, love family, and make a godly difference in the community.

Host Jeff Shepard traces the occult roots and the theological drift from early spiritualist influences through Azusa Street into the mid-20th century Latter Rain movement. He explains how promises of spiritual awakening and Christ-consciousness were repackaged into new doctrines and leadership structures that elevated extra-biblical revelation above Scripture. The episode examines William Branham and his influence on the 1948 revival in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, outlining Branham's controversial teachings—denial of the Trinity, the serpent-seed doctrine, elevation of the zodiac and pyramids as supplemental scriptures, staged healing practices, and claims to prophetic authority. Shepard connects this stream to the development of the Latter Rain teaching that restored apostles and prophets could supersede Scripture and produce “manifest sons of God” who would usher in God's kingdom on earth. Shepard traces the Latter Rain's influence into the Voice of Healing movement, the Charismatic Renewal, the Word of Faith movement, the New Apostolic Reformation, the Seven Mountain Mandate, and contemporary Kingdom Now theology. He highlights how typological readings of Scripture, extra-biblical revelations, and elite apostolic authority led to dominionist ambitions and spiritualized eschatology that clash with clear biblical warnings. The episode cites key scriptural cautions (1 Timothy 4; 2 Timothy 4; Luke 18:8) about falling away, deceptive teachings, and the danger of seeking teachers who tickle the ears. Yet Shepard emphasizes hope: genuine seekers can still meet the real Jesus—illustrated by two children healed at Azusa Street—even in mixed environments. He urges listeners to test everything, anchor themselves in the unchanging Word of God, be Bereans, and cultivate discernment so imitations cannot deceive. Shepard previews continuing exploration of modern expressions of this stream in future episodes and closes with pastoral encouragement to love God, family, and neighbor while making a difference in the community.

We trace Pentecost from Acts 2 into Paul's urgent call for unity, naming how the church slides into division when we build around personalities, power, and cultural scripts. We ask the Holy Spirit to make us a people who can truly hear one another and live as a new humanity shaped by the wisdom of the cross. • Pentecost as new creation language through wind and fire • Babel dismantled through Spirit-given understanding, not just speech • The church as God's flawed but chosen witness across history • Paul's plea in 1 Corinthians 1 for unity without divisions • How denominations, politics, and personality camps fracture Christian community • Celebrity culture and content consumption as modern “I follow Paul” • The cross as God's upside-down wisdom and real power • Achievement culture, self-sufficiency, and burnout as a rival story • Azusa Street as a vivid picture of multiethnic unity and its unraveling • A Spirit-formed unity that moves beyond surface diversity into shared purpose If you'd like to receive prayer, you can come receive prayer. If you've never said yes to Jesus in your life, and perhaps you feel his beckoning call here this morning, what better day than today than to say yes to him? Support the show

What if the missing piece in your ministry isn't another plan, budget, or campaign, but a fierce commitment to unity? We invited Pastor Richie Johnson to walk us through a simple but disruptive claim drawn from John 17: when the church becomes one—truly one—the world believes, miracles multiply, and provision meets vision.We trace a living-room church plant that grew from four people to a vibrant congregation renovating a 53,000-square-foot former hospital. Along the way, doors opened in ways no spreadsheet could predict: a medically deaf woman was healed within seconds, a sign language ministry formed, weekly baptisms and Spirit infillings became normal, and a local construction owner—prompted by a conviction he couldn't shake—stepped in to lead a multi-million-dollar renovation. These stories are not hype; they are the fruit of a unified body aligned with the Spirit's purpose.We dig into practical takeaways: how to pray prayers only God can answer, how to diagnose whether your intercession has the aroma of unity, and how humility unlocks collaboration that outlives personalities and preferences. We connect insights from historic and global revivals—Azusa Street, Ethiopia, Thailand—to one clear pattern: unified prayer, unified purpose, unified labor. We also spotlight Richie's new resource, Gifted for More: A Practical Approach to Spiritual Gifts, and why gifts flourish when they are synchronized rather than siloed.If you're hungry for sustainable revival—salvation in your city, healing that serves the community, provision that outruns budgets—start where Jesus starts: become one. Listen, share with your team, and take one actionable step toward repairing relationships and aligning your prayers with God's mission.

Karl Inge Tangen taler om pinsedag og hva det vil si å bli fylt av Den hellige ånd. Med utgangspunkt i Apostlenes gjerninger 2 og historien om pinsebevegelsens pionerer, fra Azusa Street i Los Angeles til T.B. Barratt i Norge, viser han hvordan Ånden ikke bare kom med vind og ild, men med en kjærlighet som bryter ned skiller og fyller mennesker innenfra. Talen lander i en enkel og personlig invitasjon: å overgi seg til Gud hver dag, og la det bli rom for at han kan gjøre det han vil gjøre gjennom oss

A surge of prayer opens the door: we plead the blood over nations and ask for Pentecost every day, not as a slogan but as a lived rhythm. From that first wave, we move into the heart of the mission—why God responds to movement, how desire must be made holy, and where true spiritual authority actually comes from. We share stories of people God called while they were working—some faithful, some flawed—and trace the difference between gifts used for self and gifts surrendered for the kingdom.The conversation turns practical and sharp. We unpack submission as a hierarchy of purpose, not a pecking order of people. On your field, I follow you; on mine, you follow me. That exchange builds trust, kills ego, and multiplies impact. When we prefer one another, offense loses its grip, unity deepens, and teams move faster with less friction. We explore how unsubmitted ambition weakens ministry, why correction protects calling, and how a culture of mutual preference becomes a catalyst for revival at scale.Then the room becomes an altar. We pray for God to burn away impure motives and ambitions, to align our hearts with a kingdom moment rather than a personal moment. We ask for pure desires, pure motives, and the courage to decrease so Christ increases. The vision expands: a church so united and surrendered that billions can be added in this last hour. We close with a tangible step—gathering for prayer at Azusa Street—standing where past fire fell, asking God to do what only He can do through a people willing to be poured out.If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who's hungry for more, and leave a review telling us where God is stretching you right now. Your voice helps the message reach further and fuels the mission we're building together.We love to hear from our listeners!

What if the Church has been quietly erasing one of its most powerful practices for centuries, and we're paying for it right now?The Remnant Radio welcomes Reverend David Miller, pastor of Church Tsidkenu, to unpack the hidden, and often deliberately suppressed, history of exorcism and deliverance ministry throughout church history. David is the author of Redacted, a three-year research project that traces deliverance from the early church fathers all the way to the 20th century. What he found is striking: deliverance and revival move together. And when one is removed, the other tends to collapse shortly after.We walk through how the early church treated demonization as an assumed reality, how the medieval period saw a near-total collapse of effective exorcism, and how the Reformation ironically helped birth the modern assumption that Christians cannot have demons. David argues this isn't ancient orthodoxy. It's a pendulum swing traceable to John Calvin's polemical response to Catholic abuses, and it spread from there.We also dig into the Azusa Street controversy. David makes a compelling case that Charles Parham's now-maligned critique of the revival wasn't racial antagonism, but rather a legitimate spiritual diagnosis. Bizarre manifestations, moral fractures among leaders, and the systematic exclusion of deliverance from the revival's framework all point to something darker than the standard Pentecostal narrative admits.We close with the 20th-century resurgence of deliverance through figures like Derek Prince, Win Worley, Frank Hammond, and others. We discuss which schools of thought are most helpful for someone brand new to this ministry. If you've been frustrated by a church culture that either dismisses deliverance ministry or refuses to confront the abuses of it, this episode is for you.0:00 – Introduction1:56 – David Miller Background3:08 – Redacted Book Overview7:07 – Revival & Deliverance Pattern9:42 – Christians and Demonization18:25 – Exorcism in the Middle Ages34:00 – Luther-Calvin Baptismal Debate38:50 – George Fox Redacted41:29 – Azusa Street & Parham50:16 – 20th Century Deliverance Figures53:08 – Strategic Spiritual Warfare1:00:52 – Closing ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:

Dienstagsgottesdienst vom 14. April 2026 mit Mit Thomas Bänziger zum Thema «Erweckung ist möglich: 120 Jahre Azusa Street»

John examines the Azusa Street Revival by returning to the original newspapers, social conditions, and historical context surrounding the events of 1906. Rather than defending or attacking Pentecostalism, he walks listeners through how mythology forms, why Azusa Street became elevated as a sacred origin story, and what contemporary observers actually recorded. By comparing later Pentecostal narratives with primary sources, this episode explores false prophecies, social chaos, leadership failures, and the suppression of inconvenient facts. The goal is not to dismantle faith, but to separate documented history from later legend so listeners can evaluate Azusa Street with clarity and honesty.

In this closing episode of the “Come Back to God” mini-series, Lisa Whittle challenges believers to see themselves as carriers of revival—everyday revivalists who live intentionally in God's presence. She reminds us that revival isn't reserved for history books or revival meetings of the past; it's for today. Drawing inspiration from the Azusa Street revival and other historic moves of God, Lisa challenges us to seek God intentionally, even through simple actions like reducing phone use to pray more. She emphasizes that revival begins in us and flows outward—impacting our families, workplaces, and communities. Practical steps include staying connected to God, living in repentance, loving others deeply, and walking in expectation each day. Lisa invites you to join her in her new Bible study, Come Back to God, to deepen your revival journey and see God move through your life.

Welcome to the Influence Podcast! I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. "The founders of the Assemblies of God believed they were experiencing a significant historical moment," writes Daniel Isgrigg. "They recognized God was moving by His Spirit to enable them to evangelize the world. Leaders were set apart by their understanding that this mission could not be accomplished without the Spirit and without each other." In this episode, I talk to Daniel Isgrigg about his new book, The Assemblies of God: Our Story, from which this quotation comes. Isgrigg is associate professor of the History of Spirit-empowered Christianity at Oral Roberts University and an ordained Assemblies of God minister. He is also author of Imagining the Future: The Origin, Development, and Future of Assemblies of God Eschatology and Aspects of Assemblies of God Origins. I interviewed him about these books in Episodes 277 and 359, respectively. My conversation with Daniel Isgrigg begins after a brief word from our sponsor.   SponsorThis episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by Gospel Publishing House, publishers of A Disciple's Growth: 7 Dimensions of Spiritual Formation.

Joshua Lewis sits down with Dr. Joy Qualls—Pentecostal scholar, Assemblies of God minister, and author to explore the history, theology, and lived experience of women in Pentecostal leadership. From early Scandinavian pietist revivals and Azusa Street to modern Assemblies of God policy, they trace how Pentecostal theology of Holy Spirit empowerment collided with institutional respectability, evangelical politics, and unspoken “invisible fences” around women's roles in church leadership.Along the way, they unpack stories of forgotten Pentecostal heroines like Rachel Sislo, Amanda Benedict, May Eleanor Fry, and Blanch Elizabeth Britton—women who planted churches, prayed in revival, confronted injustice, and literally died on the road preaching the gospel. They also explore how AG policy has officially affirmed women in ministry since 1935, even while local practice has often lagged behind, creating dissonance for called women in Pentecostal churches.This episode will challenge both complementarian and egalitarian assumptions. It raises hard questions about ecclesiology, spiritual gifts vs. church offices, spiritual warfare over calling, and how movements lose their prophetic edge when they chase institutional respectability.This conversation provides historical context, theological categories, and pastoral wisdom for navigating the debate of women in ministry without capitulating to cultural pressure on either side.0:00 – Introduction2:27 – Book overview4:59 – The rhetoric versus reality for women in AG8:39 – Assemblies of God policy13:31 – National leadership changes16:54 – Growth in women's credentialing and leadership17:00 – Women's role before Azusa22:19 – Early female leaders36:46 – Institutionalization challenges43:03 – Pendulum swings51:47 – Influence of respectability and evangelical integration57:12 – Recent decades: education, policy, and hope for the future1:03:44 – Final thoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:

John and Caleb explore the complex story of Pentecostalism—its roots, its divisions, and its evolution from the Azusa Street revival to today's movements. Caleb shares his experiences growing up in the United Pentecostal Church and contrasts moderate and extremist versions of holiness culture. John connects the dots between early Branhamism, Roy Davis, and Pentecostal sect formation, while exposing historical cover-ups like the Prescott tragedy. Together, they discuss race in early Pentecostalism, the Assemblies of God's segregation, the impact of figures like Jim Jones and Gordon Lindsay, and how prophetic showmanship corrupted genuine faith. They also debate whether true healings occurred in Branham's campaigns and how faith, culture, and control have shaped modern Pentecostal identity. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

In this episode of Perspectives with Joseph Mattera, we revisit one of the most defining moments in modern church history: the Azusa Street Revival. What began in a small Los Angeles house church in 1906 became a global movement that shook denominational boundaries, challenged racial and social barriers, and reignited the fire of Pentecost in the modern era.   Dr. Mattera unpacks the supernatural power, deep repentance, and cultural implications that flowed from Azusa, and explores why its legacy still impacts the church today. From spontaneous healings to multiracial unity in worship, the Azusa Revival wasn't just an emotional experience—it was a theological earthquake that redefined missions, ecclesiology, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.   You'll also hear why the DNA of Azusa is urgently needed again in our fractured, post-Christian culture—and what it will take to spark another authentic move of God in our generation.  

Pentecost wasn't a quiet church moment—it was an explosion. Wind so loud the city ran toward it, fire resting on ordinary people, languages bursting out of believers who had never studied them, and a sermon so anointed 3,000 were saved in a single day. Acts 2 is the moment heaven touched earth and revival was born. In this episode, we break down the fire, the wind, the supernatural unity, the seven wild facts you've never heard about Pentecost, and how this blueprint reappears in the Moravians, the Great Awakening, and Azusa Street. If you're hungry for more of God, this is your invitation. Pentecost isn't just history—it's the pattern God still uses to ignite a generation.

What started in a small room with a few desperate believers became one of the greatest outpourings of the Holy Spirit in history. William Seymour's story will stir your faith to pray with the same fervency that brings heaven to earth again.

On this episode of Called for More, we sit down with revivalist Luke LeFevre to explore the fire of historical and global revivals—from the Welsh Revival to Azusa Street to the outpourings happening today across Africa and Asia—and uncover what they teach us about hunger, repentance, and God's power to transform lives and nations.

In this message, we continue our series in Hebrews with one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture: a warning against rejecting God. Hebrews 6:1–6 speaks not of casual mistakes but of full-blown apostasy—a deliberate turning away from Christ after once tasting His goodness.Throughout history, God has always warned His people; Adam, Noah, Moses, Ezekiel, and even Jesus Himself gave warnings to protect souls, not to steal joy. Warnings are mercy in action. Ignoring them leads to danger, but receiving them leads to safety in Christ.Together we trace the roots of apostasy in America, from early faith-filled foundations to today's widespread rejection of biblical truth. Yet even in seasons of decline, God never leaves Himself without a witness—from the Great Awakenings, to Azusa Street, to Asbury.How do we avoid falling away? By progressing in our faith, persisting through trials, and refusing to grow lazy in our walk with God. This message challenges us to take the warning seriously, to grow in spiritual maturity, and to hold fast to Christ with endurance and hope.

We're kicking off a brand-new revival series on Called For More! Riley and Jack unpack what happened in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit showed up, the Church was born, and 3,000 people gave their lives to Jesus in a single day. From the fire that fell at Pentecost to revivals like the Great Awakenings, Azusa Street, and even Asbury, they show how every move of God points back to that moment. Get ready to see what revival really is, why it matters today, and how God still uses ordinary people to change the world.

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Aug 13, 2025 You were never meant to live an ordinary Christian life. The supernatural realm, angelic encounters, divine healings, and manifestations of God's glory are not reserved for special people or distant revivals—they are your birthright as a believer. Yet most Christians settle for a shallow existence that bears little resemblance to the life Christ purchased for you. The key to accessing your true spiritual inheritance lies in understanding that prayer is not merely talking to God—it is your gateway back to the Garden of Eden environment. When you develop a serious prayer life, you step out of the dome of darkness that surrounds this world and enter into fellowship with heavenly realities. This is where you encounter the "mist" that watered the ground in Eden, representing God's Spirit brooding over and saturating your heart. You must reject the lie that your old nature still defines you. Scripture declares that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation—old things have passed away, all things have become new. The person you think you are based on past failures, limitations, and circumstances is dead. You are living someone else's life when you operate from that old identity, and it makes no sense to live a dead person's life when you have been given the life of Christ. Revival stories and supernatural testimonies reveal what normal Christian life should look like. When believers gathered at Azusa Street, glory clouds filled the room, the sick were instantly healed, and people experienced visions of heaven. When missionaries prayed intensively for days, entire villages were impacted by waves of God's presence that knocked people to the ground and brought mass conversions. These are not exceptional experiences—they represent Christianity functioning as God intended. The reason you don't see these manifestations is not because God is withholding them, but because you've been trained by religious tradition to pursue God in plastic, acceptable ways rather than with raw, wild intensity. Children access these realities more easily because they want to see what is real, while adults become comfortable with abstract concepts and excuses. Your spiritual progress follows the law of sowing and reaping. Every excuse you make, every compromise in your prayer life, every time you choose comfort over pursuit of God, you are sowing seeds that will produce a harvest of spiritual mediocrity. When you consistently seek God with intensity, spending hours in prayer and immersing yourself in His word, you step into realms where supernatural protection, provision, and power become your normal experience. True faith looks like David running toward Goliath without armor, excited about the opportunity to demonstrate God's power. When you live by faith, obstacles become opportunities, and challenges become invitations to prove what God can do through you. This requires you to intentionally reject the instinctive responses that normal people have to threatening situations and instead respond from the reality of who you are in Christ. The path forward requires you to till the ground of your heart through dedicated time in God's presence. As you do this consistently, you will begin to experience the Eden-like manifestations that should characterize every believer's life: oil appearing on doors and Bibles, glory clouds in your meeting spaces, angelic visitations, supernatural healings, and divine protection from harm. Stop settling for religious activity that produces no tangible results. God wants to be graphic and literal in His dealings with you, not subtle or merely theoretical. The supernatural world is waiting for you on the other side of what you currently consider outlandish in your pursuit of God. Your assignment is not to understand it all, but to pursue Jesus with such intensity that these realities naturally manifest as you grow in spiritual maturity. Remember: you will bear the fruit of every decision you make. Choose to invest in prayer, choose to believe God's word over circumstances, choose to live as the new creation you are, and you will harvest a life marked by supernatural breakthrough and divine manifestation.

Prayer Judgment and Revival (2) (audio) David Eells – 8/6/25 Going over What the Lord Showed Me About the Asteroid that's Coming Brandon @ Last Days – 7/26/25 (David's notes in red) https://youtu.be/xUTlHLlBy_g?si=1W7FB9aV5GfR-osX Portion of transcript: Speaking of the revival, the Lord said, “Heaven and Earth are about to collide with the greatest harvest of souls and the greatest demonstration and manifestations of My glory that this world has ever seen before. In a 24-hour period, He said, “Brandon, everything you know, [will change] we're at the point of no return. We're at that point. It's time to push.” It's time to push. (Laboring to bring forth the Man-child body which will bring the revival as it was with Jesus the Man-child. History repeats on a larger scale.) He said, “You're looking at a thin thread.” Remember that hair-thin thread I saw coming up? I said, “Adam's lease is coming up.” Do you understand? We're about to step over the water's edge. We're about to step over the waterfall. (Revival) And the Lord said, “You're about to see something I long for you to see.” Why? Because it was there, the lease; it was Adam's timeframe of a 6,000-year window. Now, we're about to step into the 7,000–year window with the 7-year tribulation. (According to Numeric Bible Chronology we are already in the thousand year sabbath but men are breaking it by their works so tribulation comes.) We're about to see some radical things. Radical and amazing things with the Holy Ghost and fire like we've never seen it before. We've only seen glimpses of it. The Lord said, “You've only seen glimpses of it with Azusa Street, …, with the Welch revival. These only lasted for just a short window. But, Brandon, what I'm about to do, all those others will pale in comparison to what is about to happen in these last days.” (Amen!) But He said, “I have to give you a warning about the plague. I have to tell you to stand and pray and tell the people that I'm coming.” And He talked about Psalm 91. (He will come to us as the Latter Rain to once again heal the plagues of men as Jesus did in the former rain.) Then I saw an asteroid, and He was talking about this telescope called Lucifer. And then He called it Satan.  (I have read that the Vatican's telescope was originally called Lucifer but was changed to Luci in 2012 to avoid controversy.) I thought how this was a very demonic name, and I wondered if I was hearing this right? And is this the Lord or Satan? I saw this telescope in the Arizona West and it is massive. (That is where Luci is.) The lens on it was ginormous. As I was looking at this, I saw men wearing white lab coats, and they were talking and writing things down. They said, “The odds are in our favor.” And “It's unlikely this will happen.” China was involved, and they were communicating back and forth about what they were seeing coming. China said, “This is going to hit. This is serious.” But the people in America were like, “Uh, I don't know, I don't think so.” But China was taking it seriously. They were freaking out. I could see these educated Chinese men calculating and talking back and forth. They knew something serious was about to happen and that we were not going to divert it. As I was looking over into outer space, I saw a massive rock heading toward Earth. They said, “We were not telling them because it would cause panic. But the odds are in our favor that it will not happen that it will miss.” But it will not. I saw other space debris by this major rock. It was a massive piece of rock, like the size of a planet. (No one would survive the largest rock; there would be no tribulation.) And there was a smaller one beside it, and there were ones they would consider to be…. And I heard the word ‘planet killers' were behind it, like bunches of them. As this thing was moving and all the others with it, it looked like a debris field behind it. (Earth can generally survive impacts from asteroids smaller than about 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) in diameter, as these are less likely to cause catastrophic damage. However, an asteroid around 7 to 8 miles (11 to 12 kilometers) wide could potentially wipe out most life on Earth. https://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/natural-disasters/asteroid-hits-earth.htm ) (I have no doubt a rock in the tail will hit. Brandon has been very accurate.) The Lord said, “Watch the sun, watch the tides. For things are going to change, and change quickly. Your water and your waves, the way the tides come in and go out because of the moon. Things are going to start to shift like you've never seen before. The tides are going to act very strangely; they will be higher than average. They will come in further than what they're supposed to. When they pull back out, they will move out further than they are supposed to.” I heard this and I could see it. Something was affecting the tides. This rock, something serious. The Lord said, “Watch the pressure on the Earth for a major volcano is about to erupt, and not just one volcano, but it will be multiple all at the same time.” I saw earthquakes measuring more than 9.0 in more than one place. They happened in multiple places at the same time. (Even a flyby of this monster could do this but I suspect one or more from the tail will hit.) The Lord said, “I told you and I warned you that it would affect the sun's light and the way it shines upon the Earth, for it will create a disruption in the birds' migration. It will cause a difference in the timing of when animals breed because it will confuse their natural instincts. All animals and creation were acting weird. Even the agriculture of the flowering and planning (planting) will be thrown off because of what's coming. I saw the magnetic poles and how the Earth was shifting, and it was moving differently.  Even the daytime will be different, and the way the Earth spins will be different. (A wobble is likely) Some people think it's a flat Earth, but it's not. (Amen)  He said the sun will look different in the days ahead. You will need to hear Him in the days ahead because of what I saw. The Lord said, “Look at Venice, Italy.” I could see the water in the city acting weird; there was flooding and a rise in the tides. There were “water events,” that's what I'll call them. Water events are about to take place in Italy that have never happened before because of what's happening to the Earth. The Lord said, “Watch Venice, Italy, and watch Rome. Watch the volcano that's about to go off in Europe.” This will be an event that is not just one in the ring of fire, but this will be a global event that starts taking place. Then I saw India and the Lord said, “Look at India, for a lot of the pagan temples will be destroyed with earthquakes in the days ahead.” I saw the glory of God coming in, and there were many in the harvest. I'm talking major revival throughout India. I saw monkeys on the temples and old shrines completely decimated by earthquakes. It was like when the walls of Jericho came down. Everything was flattened; there was nothing left, it was like rubble. The Lord said, “I will bring in My presence, and I'm going to decimate those false gods and false places of worship. There will be a great revival throughout India and all throughout Asia. I saw great Buddhist temples completely decimated when this takes place. They were shaken to the ground like piles of rubble. A major distraction is about to take place. So I asked the Lord more about this. I asked Him, “Is this about the two flying saucers? Is it the two alien ships?” This is a deception that's about to take place and it's false. It's demonic spirits. There is no such thing as aliens. (Absolutely True) There will be things in the sky that are going to scare many people in the days ahead, thinking, “This is E.T.; they really exist!” No. These are fallen angels; it's demonic. This will be how they will explain away the rapture of the church. People say, ‘I don't believe in the rapture,' but it's going to happen. (See our book: Hidden Manna- It clearly comes at the end of the Trib.)  I'm telling you by the Spirit of God, you need to get your houses ready. If you're not on fire for Jesus and your heart is not serving Jesus, today is the day. You need to get right with the Lord. People ask me when this will happen. I don't know how long before this happens; I'm just here to warn you about what's coming. So, I saw these major alien ships, and I saw it go over the Vatican and go over the Mayan temples down in Mexico. And I asked the Lord, “Are there two of these?” I have been praying about this, and He said, “No, it's just one.” This is going to make everyone freak out because they will see it moving across the ocean and think it's more than one. It will be seen on TV. Then I saw little tiny ships coming out of the mother ship that looked like balls of light. But it wasn't a real ship. Understand. This was a demonic-looking light that was traveling around, causing much confusion in our skies. I know this sounds “way out there.” I didn't even want to talk about it, but I'm instructed to. I'm here to warn you. As wild as it may sound, there will be fearful sights you will see that will bring you to your knees. I'm here to warn you of these things. The enemy does not play fair; he's trying to deceive people with what's coming and throwing many curveballs to try and deceive the nations. When the antichrist comes (See Hidden Manna) on the scene and he says, “Hey, we have a solution for all the problems in the days ahead.” “I'm going to bring peace and prosperity. All you have to do is bow down and worship me on Fridays…” “And you're going to have to get a chip. But it's going to be a solution because we're going to take care of all of this with AI. AI has the cure for diseases. We're going to fix diabetes, we'll fix cancer, and we'll fix autism. We're going to do all this through AI technology. If you just serve me on Fridays and do all that I tell you to do, we're going to fix all your ailments.” You watch! This is how they get everybody with hook, line and sinker. People will think that he's such a nice guy! (antichrist) They'll say, “Don't you know he has a plan to help everybody?” It's coming. But I won't be here to see it. I won't be here, and none of you will be here to see it. Those of us who are believers and have our lamps full of oil. (See Hidden Manna- Absolute proof we will all be here.) I heard the Lord say, “Pray. They're going to try to get another major virus in the days ahead.” I saw another major virus and the Lord said, “Rise up and pray, church! Pray that the glorious church rises.” People will be looking at us and asking us, “Do you have a solution for this new virus?” And we don't need to be handling this like we did COVID. You can either be hiding in your church or your houses because you're afraid of this thing, or we can be the glorious church and rise up and pray and take our authority over things. (Amen! Brandon – Exo. 15:26- “I will put none of the diseases upon thee”.) Last time in 2019, people were caught off guard. I heard about it six months in advance, about how there was going to be a major virus, but I didn't have a platform to warn people like I do now. (I told people 3 years in advance.) The Lord told me, “I'm giving you a window, Brandon, pray and tell them that they're going to try to do it again. But this time it will be COVID on steroids and it will be a whole different strand.” I'm trying to warn you that they have a plan for the future, and it's not that far off. (We can pray most of this down.) This will not just affect humans; I saw that it will also affect cattle and your pets. I saw dogs, cattle, birds, everything, lying dead everywhere. It was spreading to livestock everywhere like a plague. It was like the black plague of death. (in Europe 1346-1353) It was awful. But the glorious church! Remember, they had light in Goshen while it was dark in Egypt. I'm telling you that in the household of faith, if you rise up, if you pray and you read your Bible to know the Word of God, it will be like He said, “A thousand shall fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand, but it will not come nigh you.” (True, if you believe) I asked the Lord, “What things can we stop?” He said, “Terrorist attacks; you can stop plots against the churches, but Brandon, you cannot stop Matthew 24.” He said, “You can be at the right place at the right time, and it won't affect you because you're My beloved. Be where I tell you to be and do what I tell you to do. Hear Me and be in sync with Me at all times and know that nothing will come nigh you.” (True) The Lord said, “Listen to Me, Matthew 24 will take place.” Which says, there will be wars and rumors of wars, plagues, pestilence and earthquakes in diverse places, massive storms, all these things and seas and waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fear when they see all these things coming upon the Earth. We're going to see things we've never seen before, because the Bible says so. But there are certain things we can pray about and stop, and things we cannot stop. (We can almost always lessen the effect of them.) I'm telling you the things we cannot stop are going to happen, but they don't have to affect you. We're here in this world, but we're not of this world, right? We're underneath the shadow of the Almighty, under His wings, and Him shall we trust! And I know He's watching over me. His goodness and mercy are following me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. But it doesn't say I won't go through the valley of the shadow of death, but I will fear no evil. His rod and staff comfort me. He prepares a table before me in the presence of all my enemies. He told me He would take care of me, and I believe Him with all my heart that He will. And that's the place where I want to see all of you too. Regardless of what we see coming, and the birth pangs. He said, “As the labor pains that are coming upon a woman, Brandon, it's going to get really radical now.” And He said that as we go from Rosh Hashanah and even more from September (I think it's like the 21st)), when we hit this time frame, an acceleration of things is going to happen even on a greater level. But I'm giving you a window of financial outpouring. Believer for it. Pray for Judge Torres and these judges to let go of the things and crypto. That these corrupt people will set boundaries and laws and establish it and that it will all be a blessing for the body of Christ. People need to be listening. It won't all come through certain investments that you think it will come through. Don't limit God in your natural minds. Think bigger! The Lord said, “You're not thinking big enough.” He told me, “Brandon, I have a million and one ways to get you a million dollars. Do you understand Me?” “I am the God of more than enough. I'll provide for your ministry. I'll do whatever you need if you just ask Me in faith. Do you understand? My hand is not short.” Do you understand? He's an exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think to ask, God! And from what I've seen coming, you better get your house in order and your heart right before the Lord. You cannot be playing church anymore. If you thought COVID was bad, you haven't seen anything like what I've seen. For most people, it will steamroll them because their hearts are not ready, and they're not right with the Lord. It's not time to play church anymore. You're either hot or cold, but if you're lukewarm, He will spew you out of His mouth. You may say, “Where's the grace in all this?” I believe His grace is sufficient for every single one of you, but you need to be on the side where the devourer is rebuked, and He said He rebuked the devourer for your sake. You say, “Well, I'm a tither and I have tither's rights.” You either believe what the Word of God says for His promises (Psalm 91) or you are a doubter. A true believer believes that God will do what He says He will do. The Lord told me that there's too much static in the air. There are too many false prophetic words going forth. They're listening to a familiar spirit and they're speaking to itching ears, and they are not warning you what I'm trying to tell you. And He said that you either speak for Me or sit down and be quiet. Because I'm telling you, I saw judgments. The Lord said, “Judgement begins in My house first and many people don't like that.” But He said, “I'm cleaning house, Brandon, and I'm really about to clean house!” There will be righteous people rise up who have never had a platform before, similar to mine. They will rise up and say exactly what He says to speak. You're going to see signs and wonders that follow those who believe. (The “greater works” ministry.) He said, the true demonstrations of the manifested presence of the sons of God. When you're moving and doing what He told us to do, you will see the signs and wonders. I believe it with all my heart. We're about to see things like we've never seen before. But it's time to be like it was for Jeremiah and all those other prophets of old, when they spoke for God; you'll see things. You're going to start to see the manifestations of what they're saying. You are going to see healings and demonstrations in the glory. There is too much confusion and too many people parroting things. The Lord said, “I'm dealing with this.” He told me, “Your job is to tell what you see and what I'm telling you in prayer, and you relay what I'm saying.” I don't consider myself a prophet, and I've said this before. The Lord said, “I want you to pray and intercede for the revival and lead My people to Jesus. That's your main priority right now.” And He said, “True prophetic voices will be leading people to Jesus.” They'll have altar calls and tell people they're going to hell if they don't repent. They're telling people that Jesus is coming, like John the Baptist in the wilderness eating locust and honey and telling everybody, “There's One coming. Jesus is coming.” But they missed the way Jesus was coming, and history repeats. He came in a body of the Son of David, and the apostates missed him. Here, Hidden Manna could show us how He is coming in the firstfruits sons of David and then His elect, before coming for us. Just as in Jesus' day, the creation of God was waiting for a Son to come with the Word of deliverance from the curse of corruption, so it is in our day. (Rom.8:19) For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. (21) that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. In Jesus' day, spiritual “children” had led His creation into bondage to corrupt religion and sin, but God sent His “Son” to deliver them with the unleavened bread. So it will be in our day. The foundations have been destroyed by many generations of children put in positions of leadership by those who have wanted their ears tickled. In times of apostasy God gives them what they want. (Isa.3:4) And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. (5) And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man (mature), and the base against the honorable. (12) As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. God's solution will be to reveal His sons, whom He will use to restore a repentant remnant with the truth that sets free. In His first body, Jesus offered this deliverance to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Mat.10:6) before there was a great falling away, but in the corporate Man-child Jesus will offer it to the called of the “whole creation” to restore the elect. (Rom.8:22) For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. The work of the Spirit is to bring us to adoption: spirit, soul, and ultimately body. Jesus was the Son of God abiding in the Son of Man. He was the Son in Spirit and Soul when He still inhabited a body of the seed of David (Rom.1:3). His ability to fully walk in the Kingdom came when He received His redeemed, glorified body. So shall it be with the Man-child manifested “sons.” They will first manifest Sonship in spirit and then progressively in soul through persecution and suffering, as it was with Jesus. (Heb.5:8) Though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; (9) and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation. Through this stage, the Man-child sons will minister in power to the called of God, as it was with our pattern, Jesus. In Romans we see the last step of full adoption through the new body. (Rom.8:23) And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body. Our faith, like our Father's faith, “calleth the things that are not, as though they were” (Rom.4:17), so we must claim our Sonship before we see it. (Gal.3:26) For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. The manifestation will come to those who walk by faith, beholding the Son in the mirror. (2Co.3:18) Those who claim their Sonship, and the authority and privileges that go with it, because of the redemption wrought in Christ are accounted as sons. We are “justified (Greek: “reckoned or accounted righteous”) by faith in Christ” (2:16). If I believe that “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me” (20), then I am a son by faith even if I am not yet a son by manifestation. (3:6) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. (7) Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. Therefore, if we have received the Spirit of Christ and believe that He now lives in us to do His works, we are sons by faith. (4:6) And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (7) So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. Those who live as joint heirs with Christ are walking in the faith of Sonship and will manifest His works by God's power. Jesus said, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father” (Joh.14:12). God is carefully bringing His servants/children who walk by faith to manifest Sonship, first the Man-child and then those disciples who follow in His steps. (Pro.29:21) He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last. While the apostates were waiting for the coming Messiah, He was being manifest in their midst as a man-child born to a woman. According to this type, the apostates in our day are waiting for Jesus to come in the sky to save them. They do not understand that He will come first manifested in the Man-child. The “Son” will come to be manifested only in those “children” who “abide in Him.” This is what the manifestation of Sonship is. Those who do not manifest Sonship will be “ashamed” like the man without the wedding garment, when they physically see Jesus. (1Jn.2:28) And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested (in us through Sonship), we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming (Greek: parousia, meaning His “physical presence”). Both the ancient manuscripts and the numeric pattern say, “if … He be manifested” (NENT). “If” shows that only the “children” who manifest Jesus or Sonship will not be “ashamed” when He comes. The KJV translated this as “when He shall appear” because they thought this was a reference to Jesus' physical coming, which truly is a “when” and not an “if.” A major problem with this translation is that it has Jesus coming twice at the same time. “When he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming (KJV).” However, “manifested” here is the Greek word phaneroo, meaning “to ‘appear' or make visible.” It comes from the root word phan, meaning “to shine.” The same word used in many other places plainly shows us that the glory of Jesus will “shine” out of our “mortal bodies” (Rom.8:11) to “appear” to the world. (2Cor.4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested (Greek: Phaneroo meaning “shining appearance”) in our mortal flesh. Obviously this is a spiritual shining out of us of the righteous glory of God, but sometimes God allows even lost people to see it. Around 1984 I was witnessing to a man who said, “I saw you some years ago and there was a light shining out of you wherever you went and I wondered what it meant.” (6) Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Notice in the same text that if we know the true “face of Jesus Christ” in the mirror by faith, His glory will shine in us. (3:18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory…. (Col.3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested (in us), then shall ye also with him be manifested (“shining appearance”) in glory. Back in our 1 John text, we see that when we are children, He has not yet made His shining appearance in us. (1Jn.3:2) Beloved, now are we children (Greek: teknon) of God, and it is not yet made manifest (“shining appearance”) what we shall be. (If He makes His shining appearance in us, “we shall be like him.”) We know that, if he shall be manifested (“shining appearance,” i.e. in us), we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is (in the mirror). The ancient manuscripts, the numeric pattern, and the Received Text all say “if he … be manifested” here. Notice also that those who “see him even as he is” in the mirror by faith “shall be like him.” We must believe that “as he is, even so are we in this world” (1Jn.4:17). The rest of this text confirms this manifestation of Jesus will come in those who have a “confident expectation” of it. (1Jn.3:3) And every one that hath this hope (Greek: “a good, confident expectation”) [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Can we purify ourselves “as he is pure”? Those who have a “confident expectation” of this manifestation of Christ in them will receive “grace” to walk in it. (Titus 2:11) For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, (12) instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (Only those who are “looking for” the “shining appearance” of Jesus' glory from them will have it.) (13) looking for the blessed hope and appearing (Greek: epiphaneia, a “shining forth”) of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Notice that this does not speak of the physical coming of the Lord but of the coming of His glory in us. Epiphaneia here speaks of Jesus' coming in us and is distinct from parousia, which speaks of His personal “presence” or coming. In other words, He will come for those from whom He is “shining forth.” He is coming in His saints before He comes for His saints. To this end He sacrificed Himself.) (14) who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works. The Man-child is made up of those who are the First-fruits company to manifest the glory of this purity. Those who “fight the good fight of the faith” shall have this epiphany of Jesus, either as the Man-child or as the Woman He leads into this understanding. (2Tim.4:7) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: (8) henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing (Greek: epiphaneia). Like Paul, those who have loved His “shining forth” in them shall have the “crown of righteousness.” Jesus was called the first fruits who, as a reformer, imparted Himself into disciples through the Word and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Then they went forth as a corporate body to pass this on to others. Today a corporate body of reformers is about to be revealed to do the same with a much larger portion of the Church. Signs and wonders will cover the earth. Now, here's a portion of a prophetic warning we shared earlier from Brandon Biggs at Last Days: https://youtu.be/9epckXNXLN0 Also, we need to pray over our water supply. (Brandon doesn't share anymore about the water supply in this video. However, I read Bill Gates or his organization plans to buy up water suppliers. Given his depopulation history this cannot be good.) He continues, I saw an article from Fox News saying that Trump and BB have agreed on a two-state solution. This is one of the things from the Abraham Accords and they were saying how they wanted to make a two-state solution, and they were agreeing upon it. I have spoken before that if they do this two-state solution, 3 days later the New Madrid fault line will go off and America will be divided in half. (I have said this for at least 30 years. believe the NM will go off but it will be greatly diminished compared to the dreams and visions because of prayers for God's mercy.) When this happened, I saw great big Chinook helicopters flying from the west to the central part of America carrying supplies. It sounded like the earth was shaking, they had so many helicopters over the affected area. And this is where I said before where I saw the Lion's face carved into the side of a building and I had warned everyone that I saw tumbleweeds going down Wall Street. (In the Long Run we will lose Wall Street) The Lord told me to look at the Lion's face and I saw it was the building that was the New York Stock Exchange. The Lord was warning that if they divide Jerusalem, if they do a two-state solution, He is going to divide America. (I believe it will quake and crack but not with the huge divide) I saw the nation split down the middle and all the bridges going down from West to East, completely destroyed on the Mississippi River. I saw from Texarkana, Texas, to Tulsa, Oklahoma where I saw over 1800 people die. I saw the massive building at ORU (Oral Roberts University) was split down the middle and on fire when this earthquake happens. Houses that were built on cinderblocks were completely leveled and destroyed. Houses built on a foundation did better. I saw thousands of people died when this event takes place. That is why I've always told people we must not divide Jerusalem, for when we do, 3 days after… Now I want you to hear me, that's how strong this Word was. I saw the Liberty Bell ringing and old cast iron bells ringing when this event happens. Three days after Jerusalem is divided and agreed upon, there will be 3 days and God will divide America. We must pray that this does not take place. This announcement has been shared on multiple news channels and including The Jerusalem Post. Pray. (I do not believe it will be stopped, only lessened. I have taught for many years that the Man-child ministry of Jesus will begin when the NM goes off.)

What is the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? And what does it have to do with conservative political power in the United States and abroad? Leah Payne and Caleb Maskell join Mark Labberton for a deep dive into the emergence and impact of the New Apostolic Reformation—a loosely affiliated global network blending Pentecostal Christian spirituality, charismatic authority, and political ambition. With their combined pastoral experience and scholarly expertise, Payne and Maskell chart the historical, theological, and sociopolitical roots of this Pentecostal movement—from Azusa Street and Latter Rain revivals to modern dominion theology and global evangelicalism. They distinguish the New Apostolic Reformation from the broader Pentecostal and charismatic traditions, and explore the popular appeal, theological complexity, and political volatility of the New Apostolic Reformation. Episode Highlights “Isn't this just conservative political activism with tongues and prophecy and dominion?” “At no point in time in the history of these United States … have Protestants not been interested in having a great deal of influence over public life.” “You can be super nationalistic in Guatemala, in Brazil, in India, and in the United States. … It is a portable form of nationalism.” “They are not moved by appeals to American democracy or American exceptionalism because they have in their mind the end times and the nation of Israel.” “Charismatics and Pentecostals, unlike other forms of American Protestantism … do not have a theological value for democracy.” Main Themes Pentecostalism's history and global influence Charismatic Christianity versus Pentecostalism Defining and explaining the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) C. Peter Wagner, Lance Hall, and Seven Mountain Mandate Dominion theology, Christian nationalism, and the religious Right Pentecostals and Trump politics Zionism in charismatic theology Vineyard movement, worship music, and intimacy with God Linked Media References About Vineyard USA God Gave Rock and Roll to You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music by Leah Payne The New Apostolic Churches by C. Peter Wagner This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti Atlantic Article: “The Army of God Comes Out of the Shadows” by Stephanie McCrummen Bonhoeffer's America: A Land Without Reformation, by Joel Looper Another Gospel: Christian Nationalism and the Crisis of Evangelical Identity, by Joel Looper Show Notes Leah Payne defines Pentecostalism as “a form of American revivalism” William J. Seymour Marked by interracial desegregated worship and spiritual “fireworks” like tongues and prophecy Mystical experiences of God Desegregation and physically touching one another in acts of miraculous healing The Azusa Street Revival (1906) identified as a global catalyst for Assemblies of God denomination There is no founding theological figure, unlike Luther or Calvin Caleb Maskell emphasizes Pentecostalism's roots in “a founding set of experiences,” not a founding theological figure “Limits to what makes a church” Lack of ecclesiological clarity leaves Pentecostalism open to both renewal and fragmentation Leah highlights Pentecostalism as “a shared experience … a shared series of practices.” “Holy Rollers” and being “slain in the Spirit” “A different way of knowing” “Christians are made through an encounter with Jesus.” The global “charismatic movement” and how it has had cross-denominational Influence “Charismatic” was a mid-twentieth-century term for Spirit-led practices arising within mainline Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions Charismatic means “gifted” or “being given gifts” “‘Charismatic' has typically been a more inclusive word than ‘Pentecostal.'” Emphasis on personal spiritual gifts and intimate worship styles “They are not respecters of institutions.” Figures like Oral Roberts and Amy Semple McPherson were “too big” for denominational constraints “Too-bigness” as driven by both an over-inflated ego and spiritual mysticism Frederick Buechner: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.” Spellbound, by Molly Worthen (see Conversing episode 212) What are the origins and key ideas of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)? New Apostolic Reformation: “a form of institutionalized charismatic identity that builds on grassroots consensus.” “NAR” coined by C. Peter Wagner at Fuller Seminary in the 1990s Wagner promoted post-denominationalism and “reality-based” church governance centred on individual charismatic gifts Emerged from a “larger soup” of charismatic ideas—often practiced before being systematized. Closely tied to the “Seven Mountain Mandate”: that Christians should influence key societal sectors—family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government The role of dominion theology and political alignment “The convergence of egos, the convergence of ethos … is a natural thing to see emerging.” “Dominion is really just two or three logical steps from an obsession with cultural relevance.” Payne sees dominionism as a Pentecostal-flavoured version of a broader conservative political strategy. “Charismatics and Pentecostals are everywhere … so we should expect them on the far right.” Many deny the NAR label even as they operate in its mode. ”When Bob Dylan's in your church, suddenly your church is relevant, whether you like it or not.” Defining “Dominionism” “Dominion is really just two or three logical steps from an obsession with cultural relevance. Cultural relevance says church should fit—not prophetically, but should fit all but seamlessly—into modes of culture that people are already in.” What are the “Seven Mountains of Culture”?  Family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government—”the world would go better if Christians were in charge of each of those arenas.” “At no point in time in the history of these United States and the history of European settlers in the new world have Protestants not been interested in having a great deal of influence over public life.” Trump, Zionism, and global Pentecostal nationalism Christian nationalism versus religious Right “They are not moved by appeals to American democracy. … They think the nation of Israel is the nation of all nations.” “Isn't this just conservative political activism with tongues and prophecy and dominion?” Anti-institutional and anti-structural How Trump seeks power and ego affirmation Christian theocratic rule? ”It may simply be a part of what it is to be a Christian is to say, at some level, within the spheres that I'm given authority in, I ought to have the right kind of influence, whatever it is.” “ I think what's scary about the moment that we're in right now is in fact the chaos.” A book about Donald Trump—God's Chaos Candidate, by Lance Wall ”The beliefs in divine prophecy are so widespread that they transcend partisanship.” Black Pentecostalism: immune to the charms of Trump and populist conservatives Trump's Zionist overtures strategically captured charismatic loyalty The rise of global Pentecostal nationalism in countries like India, Brazil, and Guatemala parallels US patterns. “They don't actually care long-term about American democracy.” “They are not moved by appeals to American democracy or American exceptionalism because they have in their mind the end times and the nation of Israel.” Prosperity gospel Dominionism and the Roman Catholic “doctrine of discovery” The gospel of Christ as “sorting power” “It is a portable form of nationalism.” Concerns about power, order, and eschatology Mark Labberton reflects on Fuller Seminary's controversial role in NAR's intellectual development. Payne critiques the equation of widespread Pentecostal practices with far-right dominionism. “What's scary … is the chaos. And a number of people associated with NAR have celebrated that.” NAR theology often prioritizes divine chaos over institutional order. Warnings against super-biblical apostolic authority and spiritual authoritarianism. Pentecostalism beyond politics “There's a vivid essentialism—make everything great and all the nations will gather.” Vineyard worship as a counterweight to dominionism—emphasizing intimacy and mystical union with Christ. “That emphasis on Jesus as a friend … is a really beautiful image of God.” Vineyard music helped export a gentle, intimate charismatic spirituality.

We have a Problem. We are content. In this message, Pastor Cynthia Bryan stirs us to become desperate rather than content.Our problem with contentment is that we are content with the wrong things.We are content with occasionally praying, occasionally reading our bibles, and gathering as believers when we feel like it.We are apathetic and distracted about the things of God.Once I heard the stories, I couldn't be content anymore. Have you heard about the Welsh national revival of 1904-05? 150,000 people came to Christ in the first 6 months. Azusa Street 1906: For more than 3 years the cloud of God's glory rested on a humble building call the Azusa Street Mission. 100's of 1,000's of people came from around the world and were filled with the Holy Spirit. In the Hebrides Islands of Scotland, in 1949, the power of God fell. This Outpouring of the Holy Spirit spread through the islands and within weeks every church was filled to capacity. Are we aware of the desperate situation we and our community are in?This is a desperate time that we live in:Wars and rumors of wars, News of the threat of terrorism and war.Uncertainty, Polarization, hate, Anger, rage and Accusation1 Peter 5:8 NLT  2 Cor 4:18 NIVWe are in desperate times among desperate people who don't know where to turn. But you cannot be desperate FOR something until you know it exists.When you hear the stories, you realize that the Holy Spirit still moves today like He did in the book of Acts.Let's look at Acts chapter 2:2-6,38,41Desperate people were told to wait in the city to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. But, can God do it again? Can the Holy Spirit move in a way to yield another spiritual awakening and transform culture?Here is the good news:A Desperate Time is the perfect time for the Holy Spirit to move; We are in a time now just like other times prior to great outpourings of the Spirit.When Christians recognize they are in desperate times, they take desperate measures.Seek (implies desperation, commitment, earnestness) the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near; Isaiah 55:6 ESVWhy do we need awakening?                For our families, for our neighbors, for our community, for our nation. For the young person contemplating suicide, for the lost and depressed, for the hopeless, for those who are dying without hope.“For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.” Isaiah 44:3 NKJV Desperate Measures:                Feed the sense of desperation:                Repentance: Clean hands and a pure heart.               Prayer, crying out to God for our families, our region, our nation.               Fasting – humble yourself               Be a bold witness. What desperate measure is the Lord asking of you?

“Pentecostal historians have always acknowledged the miraculous stories accompanying the Azusa Street revival as an integral part of the Pentecostal experience,” writes Ruthie Edgerly Oberg. “However, the pressing question is whether the dubious and exaggerated claims of [author Tommy] Welchel will overshadow the genuine stories of ordinary men and women transformed by the Spirit, who carried the Pentecostal message into towns, cities, and nations, sparking a global movement.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Oberg about numerous problems with the histories of the Azusa Street Revival authored by Tommy Welchel. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Ruthie Edgerly Oberg is an ordained Assemblies of God minister and a conference speaker for the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center in Springfield, Missouri. Our conversation is based on an academic paper Oberg presented at the 53rdAnnual Meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies, which was titled, “The Mythologizing of Pentecostal History.” ————— This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of The Creator's Wheel by Rick DuBose, coming out from Chosen Books on February 11. Our world demands faster speeds, quicker deliveries. We want change now, transformation in a moment. But God, who spoke galaxies into existence with a single word, took seven days to bring about His full and magnificent creation — and He takes His time with us. In The Creator's Wheel, Rick DuBose shows how, just as God reached into that dark and chaotic mess to form space and time, He reaches into the mess of our lives, initiating a process that transforms us into masterpieces.

413 Azusa Street by A history podcast from professor Stu Tully

WHAT LABEL DO YOU LIVE UNDER?   What's wrong with this picture? The Protestant Reformation happened around 1500 years ago. It was a separation from the Catholic Church based on Martin Luther's revelation that the "just shall live by faith" and not by the rule of a church or under the control of a pope. Today, 30,000+ different labels of groups of people are trying to express what a Protestant is.  That's a lot of heavy bondage on the body of Christ. Unfortunately, human nature was still in control, and it wasn't long until the protestants wanted to kill the suspected heretics just like the Catholics had done. It was the same Spirit that Jesus contented with when the disciples came to him in Mark 9:38 and complained that someone outside their camp was casting out devils. They're anxious question to Jesus was we've got to do something about that. Jesus had quite a simple rule about unity. He answered them and said well, fellas, if they're not against us, they must be for us, so leave them alone. In 1906, there was an outbreak of the Holy Spirit in Los Angeles, California, on Azusa Street. A black man named William Seymour received the Holy Spirit while he listened to reports of it in a Bible school in Texas.  Coming to Los Angeles, the Spirit of God fell on them, and a prayer meeting in their home, eventually moving into an old Mission on Azusa Street. It was like the shot that was heard around the world. The outpouring of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, with speaking in tongues and all the gifts of the Spirit that were manifested, literally went around the world from that humble mission house. Unfortunately, human nature took over again, and the first separation happened in the Pentecostal movement when the black brothers and sisters were shoved aside. They started a fellowship called the church of God in Christ. From that point in time, it seemed that labels began to be important to the Spirit-filled folks. What started with one outpouring to describe Pentecostalism has splintered into literally hundreds, if not more, of labels that people live under. At some point, if we're going to see the kingdom of God advance, we must have one label: Jesus Christ and him alone. True fellowship is with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Everything else is secondary.   YOU CAN GIVE HERE: http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...   WEBSITE= http://www.georgewatkinsministries.co...   FACEBOOK=https://www.facebook.com/FaithProduce...   Faith Producers address: PO Bx 1006 Mt Vernon, WA 98273   FAITH PRODUCES AN INTERNATIONAL PODCAST https://faithproducers.podbean.com/   You can 'WALK' with George Watkins daily @ youtube.com/faithproducers  faithproducers.com  twitter.com/faithproducers  Facebook.com/faithproducerstv   faithproducers.com    

Today we look at a topic that gets all kinds of Christians fired up. Is speaking in tongues biblical? If you were raised in a Pentecostal church, your answer is “yes”! If you were raised in a cessationist church, your answer is “no”!

Pentecostalism: Pentecostalism is a Christian movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily within the United States. It places a strong emphasis on the direct experience of the Holy Spirit, particularly through practices such as speaking in tongues, divine healing, and prophecy. The movement takes its name from the biblical event of Pentecost, as described in the book of Acts, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples of Jesus, empowering them to speak in other languages and to proclaim the gospel.The Azusa Street Revival - Los Angeles, California, from 1906 to 1909, at the Apostolic Faith Mission located on Azusa Street.Pentecostal vs. CharismaticAoG, Church of God, Foursquare, Calvary Chapel, Hillsong, Bethel Church, etc.Cessationism: Cessationism is a theological position within certain Christian circles that holds that certain spiritual gifts, particularly those described in the New Testament such as prophecy, speaking in tongues, and miracles, ceased or ceased to be normative after the apostolic age or the completion of the New Testament canon.Historical Perspective: Cessationists may point to historical evidence suggesting that the frequency of miraculous gifts decreased after the apostolic era, leading them to conclude that these gifts ceased to be normative in the life of the church.Completion of Scripture: Cessationists often argue that the purpose of miraculous gifts was to authenticate the message of the apostles and to establish the early church. With the completion of the New Testament canon, they believe that the need for such miraculous gifts diminished.Cessationism is a theological perspective rather than a denominational affiliation, so it can be found within various Christian denominations to varying degrees. However, there are certain denominations or theological traditions that tend to emphasize cessationist beliefs more strongly than others. Many Reformed churches, particularly those influenced by the teachings of John Calvin and the Westminster Confession of Faith; Some Baptist churches, etc.Next, let's look at ActsIn the Bible, speaking in tongues is primarily discussed in the New Testament, particularly in the book of Acts and in the letters of the Apostle Paul. Here are some key passages often cited as a biblical defense of speaking in tongues:1. Acts 2:1-4: This passage describes the event of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples of Jesus, and they began speaking

Have you noticed revival fizzling out before REAL change happens? You're not crazy - there's a demonic spirit at work!

The spread of world missions started with the arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, as His power worked through the church. By the end of the first century, the Gospel had been proclaimed throughout the entire Roman Empire. Another significant surge in the spread of the Gospel occurred after the Azusa Street revival, which resulted in its reach expanding to the entire world. To fulfill Jesus's prophecy in Matthew 24:14, the Church needs to undergo a renewal and receive a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit's baptism and His refining fire.Dennis Balcombe received Jesus Christ as his personal saviour in 1961. Also, he received the call of God on his life at a young age and traveled to China at the age of 24.  He has lived in Hong Kong for the past 54 years. God has greatly used him to bless and strengthen the Chinese church; a church that now has well over one hundred million believers.  He speaks fluent Mandarin and Cantonese.  He continues to minister to the Chinese and many others throughout Asia and the world.  As the founder of Revival Chinese Ministries International, he is a sought-after speaker globally. Dennis lives with his wife Kathy, daughter Sharon and Samuel Lau (son-in-law) in HK and serving the Churches.    We hope that this teaching left you more encouraged and equipped today. Ministers Fellowship International exists to help leaders build healthy, strong, impacting churches and to do so in a way that makes for a healthy leader.

This week, Julian Adams shares about the Azusa Street Revival, referencing the book of Haggai.

On this episode of ‘Rightly Dividing', the clowns in charge of entertaining the goats have come up with a new twist on an old Charismatic favorite, demon casting. If you had been alive in 1906, and wandered into the smelly, old church located on 312 Azusa Street in Los Angeles, you would have seen something that would have made your blood run cold if you were saved. I am talking, of course, about the infamous Azusa Street Revival. Newspapers of the time reported on the all-consuming chaos those meetings generated, an atmosphere of spiritual frenzy that was the exact opposite of the ‘fruits of the Spirit' listed in Galatians 5:22-26. On this episode of ‘Rightly Dividing', we will open up our King James Bibles and look at deliverance ministries in light of God's preserved word. Riding close on the heels of the Asbury Revival and the ‘Jesus Revolution' movie comes something called ‘deliverance ministries', and if you haven't heard of what that is, you will be hearing it everywhere quite soon. Deliverance ministries are found in Christian churches where they perform exorcisms live on stage. As it turns out, a generation of “christians” raised on watching horror movies, slasher films, and listening to death metal music while playing Dungeons & Dragons are eating this slop up. Is anyone surprised?

Baptist Pastors Who Helped Azusa: With Dr. Doug WeaverWhen I think of the Azusa Street revival I often think of the persecution/ridicule that the classical Pentecostals endured under the mainline denominations. However, there are some unsung heroes of the Azusa Street revival, And you guessed it, they were baptist pastors. In fact, it was the baptist trained pastors who were instrumental in purging the modalist out of the pentecostal movement. Had it not been for these great men,  pentecostal and charismatic history might have unfolded in a more heretical way. In this episode of The Remnant Radio we interview Dr. Doug Weaver. Doug is coming back on the show to discuss the Baptist pastors who helped guide the theological aftermath of the Azusa street revival.  Donate (Paypal)https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6___________________________________________________________________________________Exclusive Content (Patreon)https://www.patreon.com/TheRemnantRadio__________________________________________________________________________________We're social! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRemnantRadioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theremnantradio/___________________________________________________________________________________Our Favorite Bookshttps://www.amazon.com/shop/theremnantradio___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Rowntree's Church Bridgewayhttps://www.bridgewaychurch.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Miller's Church Reclamation Churchhttps://reclamationdenver.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classes__________________________________________________________________________________The Gospel Of Mark Group Packets https://the-remnant-radio.creator-spring.com/listing/the-gospel-of-mark-workbooks__________________________________________________________________________________Download Free Ebookhttp://eepurl.com/hSCQRvKairos Classroom: Use Promo Code "Remnant" for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classes Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classesSupport the show
