Azusa Street & ACOP Legacy
Ripple Effects
What does Los Angeles have to do with Winnipeg?
The Pentecostal Movement that sparked in Kansas, Texas, and Los Angeles, quickly began catching fire around the globe. In this session, we will track the way revival travelled from Azusa Street in Los Angeles, through Chicago, to Winnipeg in a few short years.
In the video, watch for how these names connect: Seymour, Durham, Argue, Small.
How amazing is the spread of the Holy Spirit's work across countries!
One way to look at the spread of the Holy Spirit’s work from Azusa to ACOP is through these key figures: From William Seymour, to William Durham, to Andrew Argue, to Franklin Small. But Wes pointed out another significant aspect that paved the way for revival to spread: the seasons of prayer that preceded the revivals in each city and church.
What do you notice about the way the movement of the Holy Spirit literally moves across geography, as recounted in this video?
"Jesus should not be slighted… by the exaltation of the Holy Spirit and of the gifts of the Spirit. There seemed to be a great danger of losing sight of the fact that Jesus was all in all.... The Holy Spirit is given to show us the things of Christ. The work of calvary, the atonement, must be the center of our consideration. The Holy Spirit never draws our attention from Christ to himself, but rather reveals Christ in a fuller way. We are in the same danger today. ”

Jesus is our focus point. Reminding us to keep our eyes to Him and not the Spiritual gifting we shall receive from the Spirit. Jesus is the primary in both quotes. Love that.
-
Both of these quotes speak about the Trinity and how each part of it complements one another. I thought it was cool how in the first quote, Argue says how he waited on God and wanted to seek him more. He was filled with the Holy Spirit after this time. I think an important piece of pneumatology that is mentioned in these quotes are how the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit are a beautiful piece of Christian living. They are important and are given to us by God.
-
Both of these quotes center on Jesus. Both of them are based on experiences that the individuals had with Jesus. And both of them emphasize that the Spirit and Jesus are most certainly interconnected. I like that they both speak from a perspective that emphasizes that the Spirit is not above Jesus, it’s cool to hear that said even back then when so much of this was fresh. You might expect that it would take a while for people to be able to look back on things and perhaps see where the movement got a bit tunnel-visioned. The fact that this didn’t happen shows me even more that this movement was a very Jesus-centered and breathed movement.

I love this story. Both men had a hunger for God, they wanted more, they wanted to learn more. Prayer is so amazing and powerful. When we pray and sit at the foot of Jesus and allow him to have his way, we do not know what will happen. We have to remember to put Jesus at the centre of all we do. We have to be patient always and allow God to have his way in our lives.
