Encounters at the Azusa Street Revival House

I had the privilege to spend time in the house where the Azusa Street Revival began, the Bonnie Brae House. I heard that many people have had encounters with the Lord there and although I know we can have encounters with Him anywhere, I was excited and expectant. I was not disappointed! The woman who runs this ministry, Sister Sol, gave me a tour of the house. She showed me William Seymour’s wife’s piano whose worship and sound ushered in one of the greatest revivals of our time. I later anointed this piano and other pivotal pieces in the home, asking the Lord to do it again and more, but with a new, greater sound! The original dining room table was there, reminding me of the verse in Psalm 23, “He sets a table before us.” I have had several prophetic dreams in the past few months with tables and the Lord has been speaking profoundly to me of the table He is setting for us with everything we need. They also have Kathryn Kuhlman’s pulpit. The person who owned it was led by the Lord to donate it to the ministry several years ago. Kathryn’s ministry has spoken profoundly to me over the years and I have been prophesied over more than once that I have her anointing. She ended her ministry in Los Angeles. This along with the Azusa Street Revival and Aimee Semple McPherson’s ministry has made Los Angeles one of the greatest revival hubs in the world.

Sister Sol left me alone for several minutes while I prayed over Los Angeles, California, America, asking for the Lord to bring revival to every facet of society. Later, Sister Sol came back and told me more about the ministry. She told me that she and her family lived in the home for 14 years in the 1980’s. Her husband died within a few years, on the same day William Seymour died. Wow! She told me that many miracles have happened in the home such as gold dust appearing inside and outside of the home. She showed me pictures and videos of this and I was amazed as I have encountered a bit of this, but have been contending for more. The Lord led me to make golden oil a few months ago and I have been giving it to pivotal intercessors. I have told them that I use it as anointing oil over places and people. Sister Sol said that we are to seek God and not signs and wonders and I wholeheartedly agree! She told me stories of years past where people would take dirt from the property and sell and idolize it. They did this with pictures inside the home as well. This is one of the reasons she has so many rules so as to keep the place sacred and not full of idol worship. I love this! She told me that when the gold dust appears, it is when several people are there worshipping, praying from different denominations. She said the unity in the church is pivotal to usher in this next, greatest revival. Amen!

I told Sister Sol that I heard that the porch of the house had collapsed from so many people visiting and this is why they had to move to a larger building in downtown Los Angeles during the Azusa Revival. She said that was incorrect and that the Glory of God shook the porch, collapsing it. Wow! May the Glory of God come and shake things again! I bought some of her anointing oil, although she said it is just plain oil that has been prayed for and we can all create similar oil. I agreed, but I love the fact that this oil has been in the home where many Christians have prayed. I thanked and blessed Sister Sol as I left, making plans with her to return again.

I sat in my car for several minutes in front of the home, journaling all God spoke to me. A few minutes later, a small, white poodle came and sat in front of the gate at the Bonnie Brae House. He sat for a while and I knew this was unusual. He finally got up and went away, but a few minutes later as I was leaving, he came back and stood next to my car saying goodbye. He was super cheerful and friendly. I rolled down my window and told him to be safe and go home. He smiled at me, turned around and obeyed. Later, I wondered if this was an angelic presence showing me a sign from the Lord. At the very least, God could have used this precious dog as a sign. Either way, it was amazing and I wish I would have taken a picture of him! How amazing is our God to show us He is with us and wants us to encounter Him. The whole day was about this. I have gone to this home several times on the outside to pray. I have tried for several years to get an appointment to go inside and am so grateful I finally did. I prayed many times at Aimee Semple McPherson’s home and several other pivotal revival sites in Los Angeles, asking the Lord to do it again and more! Continue to pray for revival, which will spread worldwide just as the Azusa Street Revival did. Jesus is the only answer for all the problems this world is facing. May He fall on us in a greater way than ever before and may this be the greatest revival and harvest we have ever seen!
