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.
-
These quotes ultimately remind us that encounters with the Holy Spirit are meant to draw us to Jesus as the center and conclusion of it all. He is the reason we have the encounters and He is the reason for these encounters, therefore we must not get caught up in simply seeking this “feeling” but enjoy it as something that draws us closer to the Savior. We should still love Him and pursue Him the same, even if we do not have these rich encounters with the Holy Spirit.
