A Sanctuary for Saints and Sinners in Need of a Saviour. Luke 18:9-14
Illustrated Message Overview - The Azusa Street Papers - Dr. Jesus

When a Christian is sick, they are to follow what the Bible says in James 5:13-16; “13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, [b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
The problem today in most churches, is that if you were to call the elders of the Church, they would send you to the doctor instead of praying the prayer of faith, or if they prayed for you, it would be one of those, “if it be your will Jesus to heal prayers”, that doesn't avail any healing and sow seeds of fear, doubt and unbelief into the hearts of those who are sick. If a Christian does not have any elders that would pray the prayer of faith, then they themselves should seek God for healing and pray the prayer of faith.
Charles Fox Parham, one of the pioneers of the Azusa revivals, prayed the prayer of faith upon himself as a teenager and was instantly healed of a crippling disease.
ASUZA PAPERS;
“God laid His hand on a little crippled boy seven years of age and healed him of disease and made him whole except his ankles. He walked on the sides of his ankles. Then, when he was fourteen years of age, he had been sent to college and God had called him to preach. One day as he was sitting reading his Bible, a man came for him to go and hold a meeting. He began to say to the Lord: "Father, if I go to that place, it will be necessary for me to walk here and yonder, just put strength into these ankle joints of mine." And immediately he was made whole and leapedand praised God, like the man at the beautiful gate. He has since been in evangelistic work over the United States, seeing multitudes saved, sanctified and healed.”

NEW ILLUSTRATED MESSAGE SERIES
This is a quote from The Azusa Street Papers in 1906;
"PENTECOST HAS COME! Los Angeles Being Visited by a Revival of Bible Salvation and Pentecost as Recorded in the Book of Acts.
The power of God now has this city agitated as never before. Pentecost has surely come and with it the Bible evidences are following, many being converted and sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues as they did on the day of Pentecost. The scenes that are daily enacted in the building on Azusa street and at Missions and churches in other parts of the city are beyond description, and the real revival has only started, as God has been working with His children mostly, getting them through to Pentecost, and laying the foundation for a mighty wave of salvation among the unconverted.
The meetings are held in an old Methodist church that had been converted in part into a tenement house, leaving a larger unplastered, barn-like room on the ground floor. Here about a dozen congregated each day, holding meetings on Bonnie Brae in the evening. The writer attended a few of these meetings and being so different from anything he had seen and not hearing any speaking in tongues, he branded the teaching as thirdblessing heresy, and thought that settled it. It is needless to say the writer was compelled to do a great deal of apologizing and humbling himself to get right with God.
In a short time God began to manifest His power and soon the building could not contain the people. Now the meetings continue all day and into the night and the fire is kindling all over the city and surrounding towns. Proud, well-dressed preachers come in to "investigate." Soon their high looks are replaced with wonder, then conviction comes, and very often you will find them in a short time wallowing on the dirty floor, asking God to forgive them and make them as little children.
It would be impossible to state how many have been converted, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost. They have been and are daily going out to all points of the compass to spread this wonderful gospel..."
POWERFUL TESTIMONIES
This is going to be an inspiring and powerful series of messages as we read what happened in 1906 at Azusa Street, parallel it with the Book of Acts and pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our churches and nation today!

About
Richard and Marjorie McCue are the Founders and Pastors of Salvation Studio House. They give you insight in their ministry and work; past and present.
Vision
Our desire is to advance Christianity by teaching and preaching the religious tenants, doctrines, and observances associated with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the Holy Bible in both the Old and New Testament.
We believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to be in operation according to I Corinthians 12.
What We Believe
- We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
- We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.
- We believe Jesus was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead.
- We believe He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
- We believe in the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and everlasting life.
- We believe that there is no other name or person but Jesus Christ, by which a person can be saved.
- We believe in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and with the evidence of speaking with new tongues.
- We believe not one soul should perish into eternity without Jesus, but that all should be saved.
- We believe in the Great Commission. "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover". Mark 16:15-18
- Acts 5:42; "And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ."
- We believe that the doctrine of ‘eternal security’ or ‘once saved always saved’ is not true. Every Christian still has a free will to keep walking with Christ or to turn away. It’s what one does and how they live between being born again and dying that counts. It’s not how you start the race by becoming born again, but how you finish the race. We’re to run the race (the Christian life) with perseverance and not look back so that we cross the finish line victorious and win the prize (2 Timothy 4:7). Works of righteousness need to accompany our faith in Jesus Christ because faith without works is dead (James 2:20). God’s grace is made available to every Christian to resist temptations when they come as we know the devil is relentless in coming to rob, steal and destroy, ultimately to get them to back-slide (John 10:10).
Here are a number of Bible scriptures to back that up;
- Hebrews 6:4-6; “4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 [a]if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.”
- 2 Peter 2:20; “For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.”
- 2 Corinthians 13:5; “ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you [a]are disqualified.”
- Luke 9:62; “But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
- Matthew 7:21-23; “21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
