For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not tarry.
- Chabakkuk [Habakkuk] 2:3 |
In the late winter of 1906, in the tiny 'colored' section of Los Angeles, California, a devout 'Christian' woman made a history-changing recommendation to her fledgling congregation - a group of families just broken away from the local Second Baptist Church, and in search of a new pastor...
Sister Neely Terry recommended William J. Seymour, an itinerant holiness preacher whose sermon had impressed her while visiting Houston, Texas the previous year. Brother Seymour's message centered on her own congregation's newly held belief in the "second work of grace" teaching of the holiness movement of the late 1800's. At the invitation of the group's leader, Julia Hutchinson, brother William Seymour boarded a train in Houston; arriving in Los Angeles on February 22, 1906.
The events that took place the following April forever changed the landscape of organized religion among 'African-Americans' (Hebrew Israelites), as well as in America at large, and around the world...
This humble servant of Christ, a son of former slaves, was in reality used of YAH in a mighty and miraculous way to restore the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Ruakh Ha Qodesh) to the lost/found Kingdom of Judah - who were in spiritual bondage as a whole, due to the loss of her identity under ritual-oriented European Baptist tradition.
The truth is, literally every 'religious' organization in the world that preaches the 'full gospel' - the restoration of the so-called five-fold ministry and the gifts of the Spirit - traces its roots back to 312 Azusa Street; the humble, former stable turned meeting house of Pastor William J. Seymour and the Apostolic Faith Mission!
But although multiplied millions of professing believers from around the world profess to be Spirit-filled, or Pentecostal; the teachings of brother Seymour himself have been all but abandoned by the very churches, movements, and denominations they spawned. Sélah.
