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. ”

That the gifts and Holy Spirit are not more important than Jesus and what He did on the Cross. They are things that follow Him but they are not above Him. Jesus and what He did and accomplished for us on the Cross is the most important and should remain so.
-
Both of these quotes magnify the fact that Holy Spirits reveals Christ to us. Holy Spirit does not work in us for the sake of Holy Spirit, but for the purpose of drawing us closer to Christ through experiencing Him in a deeper way.
-
Jesus is at the center of it all. The work of the Holy Spirit points the way to Jesus. When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, when He moves and speaks, it’s always to reveal Jesus. Oh wow, the relationship they have with each other and with us is so beautiful.
-
The Holy Spirit draws us to deeper relationship with God. From the vision Andrew Argue experienced as he pressed in and waited on God to remembering Jesus is our everything, the Holy Spirit is constantly at work in our lives drawing us into even deeper relationship with Jesus. Even revealing deeper understanding through Scripture is a call to refocus on Jesus, the one and only, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
