Florida Outpouring Spreads to Oregon

The Florida Outpouring (a.k.a. Lakeland Revival) is spreading to a number of places, including Albany, Oregon. Pastor Denny Cline, of Albany Christian Vineyard Fellowship, in Albany, recently attended the Lakeland meetings and since returning home has experienced a similar revival in his home church. The manifestation of God's presence has intensified and many people have experienced bodily healing as well as spiritual, or inner, healing. Also, many people have come forward and received the Lord Jesus Christ.

Woman Suddenly Comes Back to Life

A Charleston, WV, woman came back to life after over 17 hours of no brain waves. Her family had made the decision to take her off life support, and arrangements were being made for the donation of her organs. But then she revived and doctors at Cleveland Hospital have found nothing wrong with her. They are particularly puzzled that she had no heart blockages, even though her heart had stopped three times—they are calling it a "medical miracle."

Her niece, Darla, had recently been at the Lakeland Revival where she received prayer and a prophetic word that there would be healing, revival and restoration in her family. At the time, she had no idea what that meant. Now she has seen it fulfilled and is giving God the glory, "Jesus stepped in when man stepped away—when doctors could do no more—Jesus did the rest."

The Glory Cloud at Azusa Street

Here is a book of eyewitness accounts of the revival at Azusa street. Many people understand it as the birthplace of the modern pentecostal movement and a significant renewal of the gift of tongues in the Church. I was surprised to discover that there were also powerful manifestations of God's glory in what was known as the “glory cloud.” There were also many creative miracles. These stories are told in They Told Me Their Stories.

This is the book Billye Brim recently talked about on Believer’s Voice of Victory, with Gloria Copeland.
“Discover a chapter in the life of Azusa as it comes alive through the stories passed on to Tommy Welchel. Retired Azusa saints recall the roles they played as teenagers and young people in the Azusa Street Revival. Historical insights, miracles, and healings abound.
  • Learn about the Shekinah glory from the eyes of Spirit-filled youth.
  • Discover the rich heritage and roots of Pentecostal denominations such as the Assemblies of God and the Church of God in Christ through stories never before captured in print.
  • A must read for young people wanting to be used of God, but feel they are too young. You will want to meet the teens and young adults used by God during the Azusa Revival.
  • A must read for anyone who wants a fresh glimpse of the awesome power of God unleashed by common people and teenagers during the outpouring of His Spirit in 1906.
This book will change your life, renew your hope, and inspire you to seek God’s face in preparation for His outpouring as we being this new century. This book introduces you to many great Christians from the glorious Azusa Street meetings who went on to proclaim the message of God, and be used of Him in a mighty way. Some even founded great religious movements such as the Assemblies of God. But, first they were touched and used by God when they were as young as twelve and thirteen years old.”
