When the Holy Spirit first poured out in the 1730s and 1740s, Jonathan Edwards was at the forefront. The United States had not yet declared independence from England, and was an ever-changing landscape of immigrants from all over the world. These cultures brought an array of false idols, religions, witchcraft, and more. A spiritual war had begun in the nation as the devil attempted to undermine what God was doing in the land.

John G. Lake was a man known for his nation changing ministry of healing. While there are many volumes that have been written about this great man of God, there has never been one like this!

There is no greater story in the history of humanity than that of the undying love between the Lord Jesus and His people. The most famous story in eternity will always be how the Son of God came and died a horrible death on the cross for our sins. However, there have been countless thousands of men and women who have reciprocated that love, and have walked to certain death in order to tell the lost about the lover of their souls.

There are many legends about the great Davy Crockett. In the movies people claim he could ride lightning, leap over rivers and fight wildcats with his bare hands.

They also suggest that he only wore his famous coon skin caps because the actor who portrayed him did. Other stories claim he was an absolutely fearless warrior who loved a good fight.

Adoniram Judson was unique in his time. He and his wife were among the first missionaries to be sent out from the United States, and his entire ministry was a series of intense mountains and valleys. Adoniram showed a level of commitment and willingness to push through suffering and hard times far beyond what the vast majority of Christians would be willing to endure. His legacy as a pioneer on multiple levels is one that will last through this earth’s remaining time and into the heavenly library. Despite unimaginable hardships, Judson's work bore fruit that continues to impact lives today.

Rev. William Branham was born in the Spring of 1909 into the poorest of families, deep in the hills of southern Kentucky. When he was a young boy, his family moved from Kentucky to southern Indiana, where he would live the majority of his life.

There’ll be a work for you to do when you get older".

And this species of the divine patience indeed being, as it were, at a distance, may perhaps be esteemed as among “things too high for us”; but what is that which, in a certain way, has been grasped by hand among men openly on the Earth? God suffers himself to be conceived in a mother’s womb, and awaits the time for birth; and, when born, bears the delay of growing up; and, when grown up, is not eager to be recognized, but is furthermore contumelious to himself, and is baptized by his own servant; and repels with words alone the assaults of the tempter.
