Publisher's Synopsis
Are you searching for a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit? Are you looking to experience a baptism in fire like the one the apostles did in the Book of Acts? William J. Seymour, father of the 1906 Azusa Street Revival, knows a little bit about that. This book, William J Seymour & His Azusa Street Sermons, contains the 18 sermons preached by Bro. Seymour at 312 Azusa Street as recorded in the Apolistic Faith from 1906 onwards. About the Azusa Street Revival: The Azusa Street revival began in 1906 when a group of Christians led by William Seymour began praying for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Within days of the revival beginning, the group would outgrow their premises, moving to the Azusa Street Mission centre at 312 Azusa Street. From this humble premises God would light a spark that would fuel one of the biggest and most powerful revivals of the last two millennia. Through William J Seymour, thousands would be baptized in the Holy Spirit with many receiving the gift of tongues as well as divine healing and freedom from demonic possession. "No instruments of music are used. None are needed. No choir- the angels have been heard by some in the spirit. No collections are taken. No bills have been posted to advertise the meetings. No church organization is back of it. All who are in touch with God realize as soon as they enter the meetings that the Holy Ghost is the leader." - Observer at the Azusa Street Church "Proud, well-dressed preachers came to 'investigate'. Soon their high looks were replaced with wonder, then conviction comes, and very often you will find them in a short time wallowing on the dirty floor, asking God to forgive them and make them as little children" - Apostolic Faith, Issue #1 The following sermons (all of which are contained within this book) are recorded as having been preached by William Seymour: - The Precious Atonement - The Way into the Holiest - River of Living Water - In Money Matters - Counterfeits - Behold the Bridegroom Cometh - Receive Ye the Holy Ghost - Gifts of the Spirit - Rebecca; Type of the Bride of Christ - The Baptism with the Holy Ghost - The Holy Spirit Bishop of the Church - The Marriage Tie - Letter to one seeking the Holy Ghost - Christ's Messages to the Church - "To the Married" - Sanctified by the Cross - The Baptism of the Holy Ghost - The Holy Ghost and the Bride
