Wednesday Prayer and Fast: It Started With One Hungry Heart

Wednesdays=Fast the World, Feast on God's Love! 

This week we’re remembering something powerful: the Azusa Street Revival started during this exact week—April 4th to 14th—219 years ago. What happened there literally changed history. People from all over the world came to a little prayer meeting in Los Angeles, and the Holy Spirit showed up like in Acts 2—miracles, healings, people encountering God in crazy powerful ways!

But here’s what most people don’t know:
It started with hunger. With prayer. With people who refused to settle for ordinary.

One of those people was a young Black man named William J. Seymour. He wasn’t famous. He wasn’t rich. He wasn’t even allowed in Bible school because of segregation. But he was humble, hungry, and full of faith. He believed that if people came together in unity—like Acts 1—and truly gave their hearts to God, He would pour out His Spirit again.

And guess what?

"Wherever God can get a people that will come together in one accord and one mind in the Word of God, the baptism of the Holy Ghost will fall upon them."— William J. Seymour

Seymour led the way—and revival came. Thousands of lives were changed. Nations were impacted. All because one young person believed God could do something bigger than what the world had seen.

Another leader, Frank Bartleman, said this:

"The depth of revival will be determined exactly by the depth of the spirit of repentance."
Translation: if we want to see God move, it starts with getting real with Him. No pretending. No halfway. Just honest hearts saying, “God, I want You more than anything else.”

So this week, as we pray and fast, here’s the challenge:

Be like Seymour. 

Be the spark. 

Believe God can use YOU to start something that changes your school, your city—even the world.

We’re not waiting for revival to come someday.
We ARE the revival. Let’s go!

Blessings in Christ,
