My Thoughts on the Last Class...

It was really cool to see the documentary on the Azusa Street Revivals. It really encouraged me to see how a small group of people who made time to pray, read and seek God had such a move of the Spirit and revival like in the book of Acts. It made me wonder about our society today and how busy we are. We just don’t have the time like William Seymour had back then. He didn’t have a job and just stayed home reading and praying for weeks till he touched God. I wonder if there really was an economic crash and we couldn’t work if we would then have revival. If we were forced to not be so busy then we will have the time to pray and read to the point of bringing heaven down in a revival.

Thoughts on the last class...

The Professor discussed about the Anabaptists and how they were not accepted in the society to the point of prosecution for their bold testament. The Professor called it a “death warrant.” They believed that adults should be baptized and not children because one needs to have faith first in order to be baptized. Because of this they were often killed by being drowned when they were caught. Paying with their life by their testimony, so suffering because of the cross was a big part of their theology. They were persecuted by both Catholics and Protestants. Whenever anything is new or different from the norm the leaders of the church seem to try to put a stop to it. It is interesting how there is always a small group who will step away from the traditions and seek to know more at any cost even the cost of their very life.
