True, it is a work of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit anoints faithful and humble servants to bring about His purposes. In this book, Roberts Liardon has done a masterful job of opening new windows of insight upon the lives of some of the greatest heroes of the faith. God's Generals will encourage you and strengthen you to succeed in whatever purpose God has for you in His kingdom. Dr. C. Peter Wagner Author and Professor of Church Growth, Fuller Theological Seminary Pasadena, California A project which combines the stories of great twentieth century Pentecostal preachers into one book has been much needed, and I am sure this publication will be greatly appreciated. I am glad my mother, Aimee Semple McPherson, has been included among God's other Generals, for she served wholeheartedly as a pioneer in the front line trenches for the greatest of all Generals, her Lord Jesus Christ.

  • FF Bosworth and the Pentecostal Pursuit of the Supernatural
    ABSTRACT Living in Bible Times: F.F. Bosworth and the Pentecostal Pursuit of the Supernatural Christopher J. Richmann, Ph.D. Chairperson: C. Douglas Weaver, Ph.D. This study examines American pentecostalism using the healing evangelist F.F. Bosworth as an interpretive lens. Bosworth’s formative experiences, long-running success, and influence on pentecostal culture situate him as a representative leader. Yet his resistance to majority doctrine and lack of durable denominational ties challenges traditional definitions of pentecostalism, driving to the conclusion that pentecostal identity lies in the pursuit of the supernatural inherited from the nineteenth-century holiness movement rather than in doctrinal markers or connections to the Azusa Street revival. Bosworth’s life story structures the dissertation, providing the most comprehensive biography of Bosworth to date. Experiences with Methodist revivalism, divine healing, and spirit-baptism reveal Bosworth as a typical pentecostal leader-in-the- making. Like numerous influential pentecostals, Bosworth had no significant connections to the Azusa Street revival. His early ministry and facilitation of a crucial revival in Dallas in 1912 established him as a leader in the young pentecostal movement, and his work with the Assemblies of God placed him in the mainstream who sought organizational stability for pentecostalism. In 1918, Bosworth publically rejected the tongues evidence doctrine, forcing his departure from the Assemblies of God. But his subsequent fame as a healing evangelist and the impact of his Christ the Healer (1924) demonstrate that he continued to represent and shape the supernaturalist impulse of pentecostalism. And while Bosworth’s British- Israel teaching was widely disparaged by full gospel believers, this teaching was embraced by many influential early pentecostals.

  • The Healing Revival and the Latter Rain Movement
    THE HEALING REVIVAL AND THE LATTER RAIN MOVEMENT 1. After World War II, events in the Pentecostal movement resulted in two related developments: The Latter Rain movement and the Charismatic movement. Setting the stage for these movements was a post-war healing revival, the peak of which occurred from about 1946-1958. BACKGROUND OF THE HEALING REVIVAL 1. Through the history of Christianity, there have been various revivals of divine healing. The New Testament clearly teaches that healing is one of the spiritual gifts that God has given to the Church: and it instructs the church to pray for the healing of those who are sick. 1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? 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: Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
