Azusa Street: Why History Is About To Repeat Itself

In this Revival Reflections episode, Pastor Lee continues reading from Frank Bartleman’s firsthand account of the Azusa Street Revival and explores the worldwide revival fire, spiritual hunger, persecution, humility, and Holy Spirit power that marked those historic meetings. 00:00 Introduction and Why Revival History Matters 02:00 Heavenly Worship and the Presence of God 02:57 Pastor Smalley and the Baptism of the Spirit 03:51 Why God Uses Imperfect Instruments 06:24 Pentecost Comes to Los Angeles 07:02 Revival Opposition and Spiritual Warfare 07:49 The Holy Spirit Taking the Lead 09:07 Missionary Fire and Worldwide Revival 09:48 A Tremendous Sifting Time 10:21 Strong Men Broken Under God’s Power 10:56 “We Must Get the Flame” 13:51 The Opportunity of a Lifetime 16:39 Returning to Pentecostal Experience 16:48 Spurgeon’s Appeal for the Presence of God 17:11 End of Chapter Two This chapter focuses heavily on: the coming revival Bartleman believed would shake the world, the fire of Pentecost, spiritual opposition, missionary passion, surrender to the Holy Spirit, and the desperate need for the Church to “get the flame.” One of the strongest themes in this reading is this: Revival is not built by human effort alone… It comes through surrender, humility, prayer, and the fire of God. Frank Bartleman’s writings remain one of the most important firsthand records of the Azusa Street Revival — the revival that helped ignite the modern Pentecostal movement around the world. Pastor Lee shares these readings because he believes another great awakening is coming and because modern believers desperately need to recover the humility, prayer, brokenness, and dependence upon the Holy Spirit that marked Azusa Street.
