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.

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.
