William J. Seymour, a prominent African American pastor and leader of the Azusa Street Revival in 1906, is known for his profound insights on the power of the Holy Spirit and unity in Christ. Here are some of his notable quotes:
“The Pentecostal power, when you sum it all up, is just more of God’s love. If it does not bring more love, it is simply a counterfeit.”
“Any man that is saved and sanctified can get the baptism with the Holy Ghost as a personal Pentecost to his soul.”
“God is no respecter of persons, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit makes us all one in Christ.”
“There is no color line in the blood of Jesus.”
“It is not good to be selfish with anything; we must be willing to share everything the Lord gives us.”
Seymour’s emphasis on the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, love, and unity, regardless of race or background were central themes of the Azusa Street Revival.
