* When He reverses our failures . . .

…“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time."

* Stay humble in your motivations

* Stay faithful with what God has put in your hand

* Stay open to divine favor and new opportunities

* When He reverses our failures . . .

* When He gives favor and opportunity . . .

Frank Bartleman, Azusa Street

“Brother Seymour generally sat behind two empty boxes, one on top of the other. He usually kept his head inside the top one during the meeting, in prayer. There was no pride there….The people came to meet God--He was always there. Hence a continuous meeting. The meeting did not depend on the human leader. God’s presence became more and more wonderful….In fact, some claim to have seen the glory by night over the building. I do not doubt it. I have stopped more than once within two blocks of the place and prayed for strength before I dared go on. The presence of the Lord was so real.”


Lillie Corum, My Experience of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost

“We went to our beds, sleeping and resting as if it were a whole night of refreshing sleep. I arose at 5:00 a.m., all my old nervous troubles and sickness gone. I felt so rested and well. My soul was basking in the heavenly sunlight of God’s eternal love.”
