Digging Wells For Revival in Houston

We've completed another week in both Rosenberg and in Pattison Texas in revival/renewal/God please save me heal me/restore me meetings!

I have realized one of the things God has called us to do is to go into areas on a regular basis and preach, pray and contend for breathrough in that city as well as in the region. I have known that, but didn't know how to completely articulate it until my friend Brad Morgan confirmed it in a conversation this week. I have been joked about by some minister friends as simply being on staff at some of these churches I go to on a regular basis. God is not simply giving me a place to preach as much as He is giving us partnerships to seek for the ancient wells of revival and Living Water to flourish once again.
Pastor Deborah Prihoda sent me this information she dug up this week on revival in the Rosenberg Texas area:
"Parham was invited to preach at services on Easter Sunday, 1905, in Orchard Texas. His message was so well received that a revival broke out. This was the beginning of Pentecost in Texas. On July 10, 1905, Parham, together with about two dozen co-workers, returned to Texas to conduct a revival in Houston. It caught on and people from near-by cities came to receive their personal Pentecost. After traveling elsewhere, Parham conducted a mighty revival in Galveston, Texas, during the fall of 1905. Following the outpouring of the Holy Ghost in Galveston zealous believers approached Parham concerning their need for Bible study and training. In December 1905 he opened the Bible Training School at 503 Rusk Street in Houston Texas. Opened as a faith ministry, the school did not charge fees or tuition. By 1907, it was reported that nearly 13,000 people had come under the influence of Parham's Pentecostal message."

I am convinced from my study of the history of Pentecost in Houston, the revival that touched the world from Azuza Street was supposed to take place in the Houston Area! God is raising up and setting in place leadership that is willing to re-dig those well of Living Water; so that once again, Houston will have the opportunity to see the Glory of the Lord cover the region…as well as the world!

No, I do not want to capture some "old glory"; I just want to see the area receive what God intended to give over 100 years ago!

Let the Fire fall!!!!!
