Something new is coming and it's going to be the beginning of the end for the organized religions of the world.
Are you ready?

There have been several outpourings of the Holy Spirit in these "last days."
One began in the late 1800's and early 1900's in North Carolina, Tennessee, Armenia, India, Topeka, Houston, Los Angeles.
One took place in the 1940's and 1950's and was known as the Healing Revival. Names still remembered are: Branham, Coe, Lindsay, Allen, Roberts and some more.
Another outpouring in the 1940's and 1950's was actually called The Latter Rain.
Then there was the Charismatic Movement which began in 1960.
Then there was the Jesus Movement in the 1960's and 1970's.
Since then we've seen Willow Creek, the Vineyard, Saddleback etc.
I remember the Charismatic movement and the Jesus movement. As a Conservative OP I was quite conflicted. I could see that people were receiving blessings and power from God and were being baptized in the Holy Ghost and operating in the gifts of the Spirit and lives were being changed BUT, they did not look like us and act like us and did not come to us to find out how to be baptized and how to dress. Somehow we OP's believed we had an exclusive franchise on the Holy Spirit and God just ignored us and our little organizations and poured out His Spirit upon those who hungered and thirsted for Him and who sought Him ---and we didn't like it.
