I am absolutely amazed how the presence of the Holy Spirit is asked to leave like an unruly guest at a dinner party. I continuously ask Him to be with me and my ministry. It’s all that I desire!!!!!!! Please come to my dwelling Holy Spirit! You are welcomed and appreciated and loved!!!
So agree with you! I invite him every day in my life in my family in my home,… I understand the Baptists though because they are afraid if he would come and mess everything up 😉. Then there’s no order and time plan anymore…. They are afraid to give up the control ! So sad. If you send the Holy Spirit away, the Father and Son leave as well. They are three in one
Great history. Was part of a revival where the lead pastor brought in the who’s who of the zoo rather then using his own staff and local leaders. Cool stuff happened for a while. However burn out, focus on celebrity pastors who couldn’t manifest anything. Eventually turned into nice services with not much happening. Amazing to hear how John stewarded the presence and the stage. Such a great description of how charismatic churches are about sharing the pulpit! God do it again! And do it bigger!
This is one of the best channels on YT. Robbie was the first to train me in healing ministry over 15 years ago and it has changed my life. I have never been to Toronto but I have been impacted.
My church in Houston was deeply impacted by revival that was “carried” back from Toronto- and words cannot express the impact, the intimacy, and the worship that His Presence produced
We were part of one of the satellite churches of what was then Church in the City which later became the Houston Vineyard. We started going in August or September of 1993.
@@philipjohnson5366 when pastor Tony got back from Toronto he said “ there is a River” and then the Holy Spirit invaded the room- most people fell out immediately, others a loud boom, nightly meetings began instantly, HIS Presence being highly palpable AWESOME
@@allnationsseer7561 We had a similar experience. Except unfortunately no nightly gatherings. But the Spirit's presence was very heavy. I had never worshipped from the heart so deeply before. Very life altering.
Robbie, I loved your dads story of being ministered to by those humble Catholics in the lobby. As one myself I actually relate to your dads desire to move in the anointing without personal confirmation myself yet. Please pray for me brothers & sisters! that my own life & ministry would be taken over by the Holy Spirits leading & power 🙏🏼 Thank you
Thanks for this ♥. I was in the Vancouver area Vineyards during the 90's where we were also in revival. I remember being unsure about Toronto and how they handled things even though we had plenty of our own stuff going on. But I did not understand anointing. None of us did, really. It was mostly about inner healing back then. I agreed with the decision to part ways at the time, but then felt the power and intimacy drain from our services. Some leaders fell into sin and factions, and my own family experienced heavy losses. I know from personal experience that this was probably not the best decision. I really appreciated hearing the story behind the scenes. Was touched by the prayer. Hopeful for the future. Bless you guys 🙏
“We don’t really understand how the anointing works.” 😂 Thank you Robby and Steve for this testimony and tribute to the Holy Spirit’s mysterious ways. Lord, grant us greater wisdom and grace to steward, not squelch. Humility, hunger, purity. Make it happen. Stir it up. Amen.
I called the Airport Vineyard my watering hole......I love this Church....I love all these people. I had an awesome vision when John Arnott prayed for me.....
I remember this well. Total turnaround for me as I was just coming out from an year prodigal period in my life. I had been invited in early 1994, February I think, to a conference at what is now the Houston Vineyard to hear Rich Nathan speak. When he called folks down for prayer, when he prayed people started falling down, and he was completely surprised by it. Shortly after than the Vineyard pastors went to Toronto to check it out. They came back with amazing stories. But more than that, there was a power that came with it. I remember being touched personally in March/April of 1994 and following. It has had a huge impact on me all these years since. I'm so glad for this interview. I did not know the story behind the split between the Vineyard and Toronto, though I'd heard numerous rumors. I think this interview was very important to better know how to steward the upcoming move of God. Thank you, Robbie for this and similar interviews along this theme.
❤🔥🙏🔥 This was absolutely beautiful! I was touched by the Holy Spirit the entire video. Manifesting and crying and thanking the Holy Spirit! More Lord keep coming in my life Holy Spirit!
Jesus didn’t even start his ministry until He was filled with Holy Spirit! He was fully human so had to have Holy Spirit before He could do anything in ministry.
Appreciate this interview. I never made it to Toronto but I experienced the blessing at different churches in the Midwest. It was good to hear how the separation from the Vineyard happened. Never knew the whole story on that. So much wisdom in this interview.
This is wonderful! Mary Audrey Raycroft impacted me thru a book, and I subsequently went to hear her speak at a local conference. Then I got ruinttttt!
Robby you made a comment about not knowing what happened between Calvary Chapel and Foursquare. I can tell you what happened. My Grandparents, Floyd and Lois Nelson were the founding pastors of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. They had Foursquare roots but had left the denomination when in 1961 God called them again at that little recreation room at a trailer park in Costa Mesa. I would love to talk to you and share what happened that led to Chuck taking over.
Wow! Sounds interesting. I even read somewhere that Chuck Smith was a campaign manager for Paul Cain. If that is true, it seems so sad that Chuck would eventually resist all manifestations of the Holy Spirit and pretty much called anyone who operated in such giftings as false. I went to Calvary Chapel from 95-97. I never knew the original roots were full of these manifestations and signs and wonders and healings. They didn’t exist at all when I went there. Never even heard of Lonnie Frisbee. The only history we knew was that Chuck Smith welcomed in the hippies, and there was revival, but no mention of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
@@shalom968 Hmmm... maybe that is what turned him off. Didn't Cain have a moral failure at some point? If it was handled poorly it could have scared Smith off of the works of the Spirit. Tricky stuff, the Body of Christ.
I didn’t know John Arnott’s tie to Benny Hinn. So interesting, because I read Claudio Friedzon’s book and he mentioned how he was greatly impacted by Benny Hinn, and the anointing fell on him after his visit with him. Then John Arnott went to Argentina and was given an impartation from Claudio. It is like a full circle.
The move of God that began in the 1990s in various locations suddenly ended on 9/11/2001. All of them! The Howard-Browne revival meetings, Brownsville (at Pensacola FL), Toronto, Smithton (Missouri). They all ended suddenly on that day. It still makes me sad today, because those were very supernatural days of glory at those places. By the way, the fire that was taken and ignited at both Pensacola and Toronto was taken to those places by men who had just attended Rodney Howard-Browne's meetings at Holy Trinity Brompton Church in London England. Rodney's meetings were where it ALL began.
@@jq8974 You're correct, and I sincerely hope you know of other places. It only makes sense that there would have been. Two others that I didn't mention were an Assemblies of God church in Hatfield Arkansas and a non-denominational church that had been established in one of the abandoned buildings at the defunct "Dogpatch" theme park near Jasper Arkansas. Those were both wonderful moves of God simultaneous with the ones I mentioned. Thank you for your valuable input!
I was young, but on and after the date that you gave, most bridges started having banners in America saying “God bless America.” Like I said come I wasn’t an adult but to me it seems like more people cared about God.
@@SRose-vp6ew Those banners should have read "America Bless God". For the past 3 generations America has done nothing to merit God's blessing, but has only given Him grief.
Fascinating...whenever I heard about the split between Vineyard and Toronto, I always thought of "Saul has slain his thousands, but David his tens of thousands!" and thus Saul's jealousy of David!
I was interested in watching this to learn the story of how the decided to stop the meetings and the process they went through, just curious I guess. I realize now the"how they broke up" is referring to the some from the Toronto church and vineyard. Anyone know where I can read that part of the story?
pentecostals didn't like it possibly in large part was because the focus wasn't on sin and eternal conscious torment in hell wasn't being preached as 'the gospel of jesus christ'.
My church was split due to vineyard teaching as was my brother's church in another province and my daughter lost her faith in a vineyard school. Imo too much emphasis on "feeling" over the Word of God
That’s a shame. They weren’t all like that. I’m sure the ones who were had the pendulum swinging back from too many years of word without power. Still, I’m sorry for your losses.

I've never understood the phrase Come Holy Spirit. Isn't He always there. But to just say Holy Spirit you are here. You are The Overseer. Please do what the Father has given you to do
@@jq8974. How fortunate you had that experience. This is how I’ve been led, wait on Holy Spirit with great expectation, break out of all standard prayers unless directed to them. I’ve had a measure of success according to feedback from recipients of prayers. I long for more breakthrough for myself and the church at large.
@@YosemiteLee Randy Clarke has good models for deliverance and healing. It's good to follow people who follow Christ well - as there are ways of the Spirit. But it is equally important to keep close to Him personally, as He is always revealing more ways and often a personal bit to help in the moment. He likes to surprise us ☺
@@jq8974 Yes! I agree, thank you. I’ve taken a healing workshop with Randy Clark up in Redding some years back. I’ve only gone to 2 workshops in all my Christian walk because Holy Spirit has said to me keep your eyes focused on things above at all times, don’t worry about what others are doing, follow me implicitly for every encounter is unique. I reap fruit from that focus but can honestly say Randy has encouraged me with his testimony and teaching more than any other man. The Toronto Blessing is a subject I’m less familiar with but appreciate many found refreshing and renewed vision there, Mighty Blessings & breakthroughs JQ!
I disagree with you that all who don't have an encounter or get healed have jealousy. I believe some are wondering if God doesn't love them enough to heal them, that they are not worthy. What are your thoughts on this?
I’m just frustrated and going to turn this off-😢- before I do- I have to add one more comment- as this man talks he acts like what was happening to them was so “unknown”- yet for 24-25 years it had been happening through the ministry Lonnie Frisbee was doing - worldwide- having all of these things happening- AND THEY KICKED HIM OUT!!!! They discredited him because they didn’t understand- and instead of “seeking to know” they used him- and spit him out!!! Then they want to get all of the credit and act all “holier then though”- like it was some “new thing”- instead of what God has been trying to do for years!! Then they condensed it- tried to make it part of a religion- and it was quenched again! Just for fyi- I have 27 years of experience through cavalry chapel and the vineyard- so I am truly speaking from a testimony- and it breaks my heart- not to be critical- but praying some things were learned- and it will be different!!! God is trying yet again- we will listen!!!???
I heard Robby’s interview with Lonnie’s brother! It was amazing I think they’re focusing on the Toronto Blessing here. But for sure it was through Lonnie that God powerfully moved that were the beginning G’s of The Vineyard Movement with John Wimber.
I can't continue listen to Steve Long right at the 3rd minute - "I was Baptist and had no Holy Spirit"???? Really!!! This is how I grow up in a Pentecostal circles and I am glad I moved away from it. Always feeling and make sure every other denomination know that they are second class citizens of Heaven (If even they are) Unless you spoke in tongues. ...
