IN the NEWS - Azusa Stadium "Revival"?

The counterfeit "latter rain" of the charismatic movement-on full display, 60,000 strong in Azusa Now Stadium

"Kelsey and Randy Bohlender, .....
Last fall, they launched Zoe's House Adoption Agency in a suburb of Kansas City—founded specifically to "offer expectant mothers guidance for life, with the mission of extending love." And only last month the entire family traveled across the country to Los Angeles, assisting behind-the-scenes as more than 60,000 people came together for the Azusa Now stadium prayer gathering.
 
Kelsey Bohlender: Azusa Now was such an inspired event, taking TheCall prayer gatherings into new waters I believe. One reason for that is how we saw people from every different Christian stream—evangelicals, charismatics, Catholics—come together hungry to encounter God.
We knew people who had never come to a Call event; they came in the morning, they stood in the rain all day, stayed until that night and were just completely changed." Charisma
 
....and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
 insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:24
 
"For the past 16 years, Engle has led a youth movement seeking spiritual awakening called The Call, best known for its prayer rallies. Engle sees the upcoming event as the pinnacle of that movement.
Engle’s plans for the Azusa Call came together after a close friend
had a dream that he was to buy plane tickets on United Airlines that would expire 1080 days after the dream.
When they calculated that day, it was April 9, 2016, the 110th anniversary of the Azusa Street revival.
Going beyond the significance of the date, they believe the reference to “United Airlines” represents God’s desire for racial and denominational unity in the Body of Christ.
“Can you believe with us that denominations will unite, that the races could come together, that God could make us one, as the antidote to the terrific division in our day? Could you believe with us for stadium Christianity where signs and wonders are breaking out and mass evangelism explodes across our country- the Third Great Awakening?” he asks." GR
