Sid Roth:
My guest as a young man met elderly people
who were involved in the biggest move of miracles
in the history of America.
It was called the Azusa Street Revival.
He tells me that he met some of the people and heard
first hand what occurred, stories such as ears
that did not exist popping back into place,
arms that did not exist coming out and growing,
these are called creative miracles.
Did you know that the Azusa Street Revival
that happened in the early 1900′s was the
first integrated church in America?
God picked a one-eyed black man to lead the greatest
move of God’s Spirit in miracles I believe since the first
coming of the Messiah….
* * *
Sid: Tell me one miracle that you heard of that occurred with William Seymour?
Tommy: The greatest that I knew of was that Brother Seymour would tell them to sing in the Spirit and then that fire would come up out of the roof, would come down and then he…
Sid: Wait, you are going too fast for my peanut brain. A fire would go through a roof?
Tommy: Yes.
Sid: Explain what you mean.
Tommy: Okay a fire would come up out of the roof and the fire would go up about fifty feet and the fire about fifty feet away from it in the sky would come down and mingle with it.
Sid: Could people see this fire?
Tommy: Oh yes, matter of fact they got many calls to the fire department, not from people in the meeting, but from people outside that would see it.
Sid: Really, it was the fire of God’s glory.
Tommy: Yes, now it wouldn’t consume, you didn’t smell any fire, but that is when the greatest miracles would happen, and he would, he got up was telling them and Brother David Garcia was there, and he said, he was the
one that told me about it
* * *
Tommy: … And the man’s arm had been ripped out on a job related with a big machine, and it had ripped out even the shoulder.
Sid: So in other words he did not have the limb
Tommy: He didn’t have the shoulder, the arm or nothing, and he, when he prayed for him Brother Garcia said “Brother Tommy, I was standing very close where I could look right down into that socket and see the bone.”
And he said, “Brother Seymour prayed for him, and he just kind of stood there for a while with his hands on his head smiling,” “All of a sudden that bone started growing out and right behind it would come this flesh going around the bone.”
And he said it probably took about two seconds, but to him it was in slow motion. And that mans arm just grew out, and he said within a few minutes even the fingernails grew back on his fingers.
* * *
Sid: Now William Seymour prophesied about the next revival that will come, tell me about that.
Tommy: He prophesied that in about a hundred years, he did this in 1909, that there would be a…
Sid: So about a hundred years would be 2009?
Tommy: Yes, that would be about, before or after?
Sid: About, okay.
Tommy: He said another revival like unto Azusa Street, only greater, would come again, only this time it wouldn’t be in one place, it would be all over the world….
[But it’s gotta start somewhere – jeff]
* * *
Tommy: It was the shekinah glory, it was a smoky looking kind of, one woman said kind of an orangey color, and it went on over to the young people and they all fell out in the spirit and hysterical laughter, they just couldn’t stop laughing and four brand new converts came up to Brother David and said Brother David it dawned on them and they had only the baptism a few weeks, they figured out what this stuff is and he kind of laughed and said, “What is this?” They said, “It’s God’s laughing gas.”

Azusa Street Revival | It’s Supernatural with Sid Roth | Tommy Welchel
Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural!
Published on Oct 21, 2013
This week on Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural, as a young man, Tommy Welchel lived among the survivors of the Azusa Street Revival. Now he shares the impartations he received from the very people who were there!

Tommy Welchel on William Seymour and Charles Parham’s 100-Year Prophecy: On the same day in 1909, hundreds of miles apart, they both prophesied God’s visible shekina glory would return to earth after 100 years, but this time everywhere!
Wes Hall [IHOP] on William Seymour’s *1909 prophecy* of the SHEKINAH GLORY RETURNING to the church *in 100 years*: “Let me tell you about the church in the book of Acts. ..the fear of God was on the community, and…they were highly esteemed” | My theory …
Smith Wigglesworth: “THE LAST DAY REVIVAL WILL BE THE GREATEST revival this world has ever seen!”
(audio) Sid Roth on ‘Coast to Coast AM’ 9/1/13: Miracles & Healing — Why did the Azusa St. revival stop (1906-1909)? William Seymour “became too sophisticated for the box” — to hear and obey — but prophesied an even greater revival would happen in 100 years!
Sid Roth: The missing ingredient, speaking in tongues — “I believe that God wants to restore this gift for the last great push of God’s spirit”
The Welsh Revival of 1904-05 by J. Edwin Orr: A Countrywide Asbury-like REVIVAL! The 4 Points: #1 Confess any known sin, and put any wrong done to man right again. #2 Put away any doubtful habit. #3 Obey the Spirit promptly. #4 Confess your faith publicly.
Effects of the WELSH REVIVAL 1904-05: Whole communities were radically changed FROM DEPRAVITY TO GLORIOUS GOODNESS. The CRIME RATE dropped, often to nothing. THE POLICE had little more to do than supervise the coming and going of the people to the chapel prayer meetings. THE UNDERGROUND MINES echoed with the sounds of PRAYER and HYMNS, instead of nasty jokes and gossip. People who had fallen out BECAME FRIENDS AGAIN!!!!!!!
Asbury Revival, 1970: “‘Dr. Kinlaw, I am a liar. Now what do I do?’ … Three days later, she came to me radiant, and she said, ‘Dr. Kinlaw, I’M FREE!’”
Can ‘Christians’ use Paul’s “Forgetting the things which are behind…I press on” statement as an excuse to not get right with those they’ve hurt? Paul also said: “I also practice ALWAYS having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” What if you don’t repent? And what will happen when you do? The Third Great Awakening can start with us!!! We can all be happy — ‘ONE’!
‘Let Us Be ONE’ Prophecy Continues 10/8/08: “It’s TOO LATE to REVERSE what’s been done for MY MEN have been REJECTED … Now is the Time to OVERCOME and GET RIGHT With ALL … FREEeeeeeeeeeeeee———DOM at last … Your HEART will SWELL with LOVE and it will be EASY to REMAIN In Me when others are On The BOAT With You”
Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? — “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.”
PhileoTruth
The greatest miracle would be if we as the church could get back to what is plainly commanded of us in Scripture and to stop generating our own miracle marketing schemes to attract unbelievers. Too many in the church have declared that faith in Christ is not enough– miracles are needed to validate who He is and (more importantly) who we profess to be. Let’s be honest, most of these miracle-mongers want the self-validation that they have “power” above that which humbly (i.e, non-spectacularly) glorifies Christ.
Jeff Fenske
I respond to much of this in the comment I wrote in response to PhileoTruth’s other nearly simultaneous comment. See: http://onecanhappen.com/2008/08/19/william-seymour-1909-next-revival-will-come-in-about-100-years-%E2%80%94-its-due/#comment-1904

PhileoTruth
When I stated miracle in the previous comment, I wasn’t being literal. That would not be a bonafide miracle, but likened unto a miracle from a human standpoint because of the divisions among us in the church.
Juanita Pike
I have never read the whole story of this movement. I have been filled with
the Holy Ghost ans speaking in tongues for 50+ years. We MUST GET a new outpouring
of the Holy Ghost before the Bride of Christ will ever be ready for Jesus Return John 14.
He will reveal to us all the False Preaching that is covering the air ways in America. Juanita Pike

I read this for a project, I began to shake to the point where I burst in the bathroom where my dad was at at 5:30 in the morning. I told him he needed to come quick. We ran across the house and I said read this. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, “Zoey, are you telling me..?” “Yes daddy, the prayer group me, Samantha, and Lali started at school. I believe this is it. You said if it does get big it will take a couple of years to get nation wide. I don’t think it’ll be that long.” I’m only 12 years old, and yet I feel God is calling me to start something that impacts the world right before the Rapture. I’m so thankful for my two friends, Lali and Samantha. They are the ones who stick with me even though we have a whole lotta trouble Satan is giving to the whole group. I’m so excited to get this HUGE revival/AWAKENING started. My heart screams, “LET’S GO GOD! LET’S GO! I’M READY!”
Jeff Fenske
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Biblically speaking, though, we can’t count on a pre-tribulation rapture. That was made up: 12 Reasons NOT To Expect a PRE-Trib Rapture
We can count on this though: Corrie Ten Boom: Prepared for the Coming Tribulation
And by the way, I’ve experienced a lot of what you have too. But it will take a group of holy people, right with God and right with their neighbors, for the Third Great Awakening to start. And a lot of people are in denial and won’t get right with those they’ve hurt for ONE to happen (Jesus’ heart-cry for us in John 17).
The Welsh Revival of 1904-05 by J. Edwin Orr: A Countrywide Asbury-like REVIVAL! The 4 Points: #1 Confess any known sin, and put any wrong done to man right again. #2 Put away any doubtful habit. #3 Obey the Spirit promptly. #4 Confess your faith publicly.
May we be ONE!
Then the world will know — when God’s glory comes down and stays!
Godspeed!
Not much time left.

Francisco Gomez Luna
The move is coming beloved! The Azusa Street Revival was the revival of faith in God’s word alone. It began with people who chose to believe Acts 2:38 over the established doctrine of their time; a doctrine that had been en force since 325 AD. They insisted on believing God rather than men and God responded by sending the latter rain. The power descended and a new day dawned. The Spirit has been witnessing that the time elapsed since then is sufficient for the wheat to mature for harvest. The wheat can only mature if it feeds on the nutrients from its roots. Get ready for a move that shakes the powers of heaven in us and completely changes the faith paradigm for those who can believe. What we consider miracles are common things to God. Our objective is full maturity and our instructions are: “Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is the truth.” It is time to start believing what he told us, “The Spirit of truth will lead you into all truth.” Let us make sure we have plenty of oil in our lamps! We will only achieve our objective by “staring attentively into that light that shines in darkness until the day dawns and the star of the morning arises” in the heart of each one of us. We are called to be one perfect man of the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ! That is our perfect maturity!
John
Shaking, babbling, acting drunk, bedlam, being thrown to the ground in violent tremors, jerking, screaming, howling, barking like dogs, and crawling around on all fours like animals. It is a terrifying, disgraceful scene which calls to mind stories of demonic oppression. We are the image-bearers of the Most High God. He has given us a spirit of power, love, and self control…not degradation, not sending us out of our wits to roll on the floor and scrape on the ground like animals. What delight our enemy must take when he sees us in that disgraceful posture! It is well-documented that this Revival attracted spiritists, witches, and mediums who drew from the spiritual energy that had been unleashed at Azusa Street. However, the presence of God is usually REPELLANT to these people as it leaves them powerless. The leaders of the revival themselves–each one walking in equally well-documented sexual immorality–acknowledged that the Revival was out of control. Test the spirits. Even Pharaoh’s magicians were able to work wonders.
John 4:48 “Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?”
Jeff Fenske
John,
You are trying to convince people to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Demonic forces will always try to put out the fire of the Holy Spirit, and they have succeeded in all revivals in church history.
Jesus prayed that His people would be ‘ONE’ — that He would give us His glory so we could be ‘ONE,’ and then the world will know — John 17. But ‘ONE’ requires holiness, and where there is a chink in our armor, demons will get in. So we need to shut all doors of sin and lust, and get our doctrines right so we can be ‘ONE,’ and stay ONE.
I’m not a historian who studies the traditional revivals in great depth, but I have been to a number of the more recent moves of God, and have learned much from them as to how mixture gets in. I think the main reason real Christianity, ‘ONE’ isn’t happening is because of widespread false doctrine which results in a lack of holiness from a lack of fear of God. And then when revivals do happen to a degree, the lack of holiness keeps them from becoming what they should become, which is ‘ONE’ happening. And we’ll know when ‘ONE’ happens, because then the world will know (John 17) — which I believe is just what is supposed to be normal Christianity — last chapter of Mark, John 15, Ephesians 4:11-16, etc..
William Seymour didn’t have the team of wise, spiritual people whom he needed to keep Azusa St. going without mixture getting in and tainting the very real move of the Holy Spirit. Satan will send his own people into churches and meetings to turn them sour. And Seymour didn’t know what to do. For example:
http://www.revival-library.org/pensketches/am_pentecostals/parham.html
Seymour also needed help with handling spurious manifestations that were increasing in the meetings. He wrote “urgent letters appealing for help, as spiritualistic manifestations, hypnotic forces and fleshly contortions…. had broken loose in the meetings. He wanted Mr. Parham to come quickly and help him discern between that which was real and that which was false.”
Seymour was asking for help from someone he thought could help, but apparently Charles Parham was one of the compromised leaders you are speaking about, and he didn’t come, which was probably a good thing, if he was indeed compromised.
I haven’t heard of William Seymour having problems in the sexual immorality area; though, I’m not a Seymour expert. But from what I understand, William would try so hard to be led by the Holy Spirit in the meetings that he would even put a box over his head to try to really tune into what God was saying.
It sounds to me like this became more than what he was able to handle. I have heard that he lived upstairs, and when he could tell things were spiritually off, he would stomp on the floor to hopefully help them get back on track.
Seymour wasn’t planning his whole life on how to keep a holy move of God holy, but some of us now have. We’re ready. But there are many scoffers who are praying against (James-3 cursing) those of us who are trying to help Jesus’ heart-cry for His people to happen.
Satan will try to do everything he can to keep ‘ONE’ from happening, because he doesn’t want the world to see the glory that God wants to reveal through His people when they are ‘ONE’ with each other truly in Him.
And by the way, when the presence of God touches a person mightily, it often affects the person physically — which is a good thing.
And my guess is that some of the manifestations you described are not what you heard about Azusa St., but perhaps Toronto or somewhere else more recent, but they could have also happened at Azusa. Some of these things are probably not from God, but it’s not the end of the world if someone barks some howl of joy or something, thinking they are Spirit-led in doing so.
Some of us have very keen discernment of spirits gifts to be able to discern what is going on. But the main thing is for the people to shut the doors to evil themselves, knowing they have to in order to be going-to-heaven Christians. When a group of people like this gets together and worships God in Spirit and in truth, demonically empowered people will be afraid to even visit [so my guess is that the Azusa St. revival was not really strong, the glory of God — His manifest presence, when this mixture happened], just like what happened in Acts 5, the passage that also follows the story of Ananias and Sapphira being killed by God for lying.
When the glory of God shows up powerfully, willful sinners will be greatly conscious struck. Many will repent, like in Asbury and many of the other revivals. It’s when the presence of God subsides somewhat that the mixture can then take over. And the presence of God subsides because the people no longer draw near to Him, but start willfully sinning again.
This is what happened in Acts 5:12-16
By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord [‘ONE’] in Solomon’s porch. None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them. More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women. They even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them. Multitudes also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
This is real Christanity, ‘ONE’ happening. They not only had a reputation for being alive (Rev. 3:1-6), but they were alive. This is God’s will for His people no matter what the naysayers may think and say.
Sincerely,
Jeff Fenske

My name is Apostle D. G. Wall of Los Angeles CA, USA. The Lord has given me the mandate to preach a 50-Day Revival next year, April 14 – June 2, 2014. The first 50-Day Revival was preached in Las Vegas NV April 14 – June 2, 2001. The Lord had me to invite 100 churches (2 churches per night) so that once the revival dates ended, those ministries would continue the revival in their locality, as the Lord moved me to preach in a different region of the country every 50 Days (seven revivals per year).
When the churches did not catch the vision, the Lord let me know that the revival was for Los Angeles CA and that the revival in Las Vegas NV was his testing me “on the backside of the mountain, as He tested Moses in the Land of Midian before sending him to his ministry in Egypt. Every year since, it has been in my spirit to “do the 50-Day Revival in Los Angeles CA. In February 2009, during the monthly all-night prayer shut-in at West Angeles Church of God in Christ, a prophet heard my “Las Vegas” testimony.
He asked me if I knew about the “100-year” Azusa Revival prophesy and went on to explain to me about this coming great revival. Our steps have crossed each other’s path several times and we currently have ministry time slots at Worldshare Ministries in the Skid Row section of downtown Los Angeles, not far from the former site of the Azusa Street Mission (three [3] blocks). The Man of God has given me a word several times about the “gridlock in the city and airport” due to the great numbers of people coming.
As people return to their cities and countries from the 50-Day revivals, God would light the fire of revival in their localities like Azusa Street, but everywhere at the same time. The Lord has given me to do the 50-Day Revival four (4) times per year and continue for seven (7) years, the number of completeness (2014 – 2020). Other ministries will carry on the 50-Day Revivals as my role reduces to visitor of the churches in global revival, as the “fire of the Holy Ghost” continues to fall, with “signs and wonders following.”
It is beyond me why the Lord chose me. Certainly, He is sovereign and does not consult with nor need approval of man, woman, boy or girl; nor angels or any other creatures, earthly or heavenly, in His decision-making. When it comes to asking God about His choice for birthing this great revival, He asked me, “who else did I give this 50-Day Revival to do?” The only answer and response to the Lord can only be: “Yes, Lord!” “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God.”
This ministry is seeking 3,000 persons for its School of Ministry. School will have three(3) components with concurrent enrollment: (1) School of the Bible for Ministerial Ordination, Licensing, & Church Charter (Revival and Ministry-Planting Fellowships), (2) a fully- accredited Certificate Course (less than 60 units) and Bachelor Degree (60 or more units) in Non-Profit Management, Urban Ministry, and Addiction Studies. Pell Grant available for those who qualify, & (3) a Vocational Entrepreneur Training Academy OJT (On-Job-Training) Owner/Operator Apprentice Programs in Limousine (25 yrs+) and Restaurant Business (18-24 yrs) Ownership.
The purpose of this School of Ministry is to train co-laborers for ministry-planting, anointed pastoral leadership with transportation and food service businesses that will provide employment to those coming to their ministry and also provide feeding and church transportation soul-winning ministries. The cost of Tuition for the School for the 2014 Academic Year is $6,000 ($450 per month). The Pell Grant covers annual tuition. Monthly stipend is $1,000. Books and fees are in addition to tuition. Program is 30 months.
Website is under construction and will be posted by May 1, 2013. Please leave email note if interested in School of Ministry.

One very important thing is missed about the Azusa Street Revival, the RESTORATION OF CHURCH UNDER PENTECOST!
At beginning of a new millennium, Christ Jesus Our Lord is born in a manger in Bethlehem of Judea.
True Church Starts At Day of Pentecost
Original Outpouring of the Holy Ghost is recorded in the Bible in the Book of Acts, Chapter 2, on Day of Pentecost.
Men and women hear the gospel in their own language in their day.
Apostles Paul and Apostle John warn the True Church of Jesus Christ about men who left True Church to start false doctrines.
Roman Catholic (NOT CHRISTIAN) Church USURPED the True Church of Jesus Christ in 326-8 A.D and hid Scriptures in Latin.
LORD JESUS raised up Mohammed with the Koran Islam in 622 A.D. to fight and blunt the heresy executions of the papacy.
The Dead Sea Scrolls found in 700 A.D. by Arab shepherd boys/youth.
At beginning of a new millennium, God allows the Printing Press to be invented in 1200 A.D. with the Bible the first book printed!
True Church labelled Protesters or Protestants
Printing Press and Dead Sea Scrolls combine to end scripture darkness of Roman Catholic Church as bibles are published.
Men and women hear and read the gospel in their own language in their day.
Martin Luther, a catholic monk, read bible published from Dead Sea Scrolls and issued his 95-point indictment of catholic church.
John Calvin and the Quakers, John Wesley and the Methodists and the King James Bible in 1611, followed during reformation.
True Church re-emerges from darkness of unholy see usurper church via Anglican Church and.defeat of Spanish Armada fleet.
True Church is beneficiary of American Revolution, Independence, and Constitution, shifting more influence away from papacy.
At Last Century Before the Ushering in of a new Millennium, AZUSA Street Revival RESTORES True CHURCH Under PENTECOST!
This is the true important and most compelling fact of the Azusa Street Revival: RESTORATION Of TRUE CHURCH PENTECOST!
In 1906, God prepared a man to stand in the gap and to proclaim the Gospel and confirmed it with signs and wonders following!!! “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians.3:11) and Jesus said “And I say unto thee, …upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18 b,c).
At the beginning of this new millennium, God gave me to preach 50 Days & Nights, April 14 – June 2, 2001 in Las Vegas Nevada.
On April 14, 2014 to June 2, 2014, the birthing of the greatest revival in the history of mankind will take place in Los Angeles CA, venue location to be announced. It will not be the greatest in quality, only greatest in quantity because of the number of people who are living on earth at this time. For nothing is greater than raising the dead, restoration of missing limbs, or opening the eyes of the blind. In this new millennium, in the coming new year, the Lord will add a new chapter to HIS STORY!!!

i never knew about the Azusa street revival, only head it recently that there was once a revival like what is happening here in Zimbabwe. People of God the revival is here, it’s happening here in Africa, Zimbabwe there is a man raised by God, Prophet Emmanuel Mkandiwa of the United Family International Church (UFIC) . teeth are growing back during service, overdue pregnancies are being delivered during services, cancers are being cured, HIV is vanishing and people are becoming HIV negative, the blind see instantly, shorter and longer legs and arms are being put to the same size, pimples are vanishing away instantly, instant weight loss, instant quiting of smoking and alcoholism, instant quiting of bad habits and addictions of drugs, ponography, masturbation crazy addictions. The barren are starting to produce even barren cattle anything that is barren is being restored to productivity. God has surely visited us in Zimbabwe. -Gamuchirai Munedzimwe

I know you Americans have experienced and seen more than ever we have done in Australia. There is wrong doctrine, error, new age in Charismatic and perhaps Pentecostal Churches. Most are crazy about rock music, even darkening auditoriums with Rock Concert style lights and smoke etc. Old Pentecost her was small but the saints were holy living. They followed the Bible as best they knew. My parents were two of them. It died away except for the old faithfuls and then started bringing in others. When the Charismatic Move came, there was nothing like you have described. But God moved wonderfully and crowds did get saved over twenty years at least. Yes baptized with the Spirit. But then we had the Laughing Move, the animal noises, minus the fear and glory of God. It trapped almost the whole nation of Pent. & Charis. Churches. There is a desolation and worldliness. We need a restoration and introduction of all, yes all, of the truths of the New Testament and epistles. God is indeed moving in hearts that we cannot doubt. We have seen revivals in many nations and places for forty years. But nothing as good as Azusa Street. Right now a few of us in our small city, our finding the ways of the Spirit in furtherance and increase as we pray in other tongues, prophesy etc. It is momentous for us. So I love to read and watch what you present.

There appears to be a great deal of good, verifiable, truthful accounts of The 1906 Azuza Street revival. It is, however, a bit disconcerting that some information (devoid of fact-verifiable information) regarding an ostensible occurrence of a dark facet, or evil events have been associated with it are being propagated. Be careful; be like the Bereans; search for truth for yourself. SEG (for the Green Man) 2014
BS Detector
What a load of bs
Jeff Fenske
H.S., not “bs.” God, not “poop.” How dare you!
Since the fear of God has been taken out of Christianity through the once-save-always-saved (OSAS) heresy, some now attribute what the Holy Spirit actually did to demons or propaganda.
Some of the cessationist professors were doing this at the seminary I attended during the Vineyard holiness revival, which was a drop in the bucket compared to Azusa; though, still significant. They realized that if what was happening was indeed the Holy Spirit, they were blaspheming God. So they stopped — which is good advice for anyone criticizing moves of God without knowing exactly what happened.
We need to believe the Bible, not dead Christianity that’s currently the norm, as the “itching ears” prediction is fully being seen:
“For The TIME WILL COME when THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and will TURN AWAY THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, and turn aside to *FABLES*” (2 Tim. 4:3-4)
Even ‘charismatic’ false teachers are destroying real Christianity and postpone the prophesied coming revival, teaching: “we don’t have to be holy anymore to go to heaven;” “wide is the road to eternal life, many find it;” “only believe;” “just say this little prayer;” “we’re saved already;” “Jesus will never let go;” ….
What Jesus said — the truth — the way it’s supposed to be:
Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father. – John 14:12
These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages; they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” – Mark 16:17, 18
What we’re experiencing currently (January 2017) is deadsville. Not one church in America even has a “reputation for being alive,” which the church in Sardis did, YET even then, the majority of them weren’t going to heaven unless the repented, as only “a few” were “worthy” “overcomers”:
Rev. 3:1 “And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says these things: “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before…God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you. 4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” – Hebrews 12:14
Romans 11:20 ..Don’t be conceited, but FEAR; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the Jews], neither will he spare you. 22 See then the GOODNESS *and* SEVERITY of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his goodness; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALSO BE CUT OFF [like in Mt. 7:19 and John 15:6].

Reconciliation is the key, as Paul made sure he was, working out his own salvation with fear and trembling:
“Herein I also practice ALWAYS having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” – Acts 24:16
My 1990 Key-to-Revival Prophecy: “There is might and there is power and there is glory, but it is being withheld until these relationships are made right, until we love our brother enough to…”
Seriously, “don’t you dare mock God!”
