“It’s easy to start in the Spirit and end in the flesh.” That was the statement that stood out to me while watching the video. The Scriptures state, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” When the building/movement was named, it was the first time I noticed that the narrator did not mention William Seymour praying or listening for the Father’s instructions. I believe he had good intentions. It may have been an attempt to unite those who did not believe what was happening was from ABBA, our Father. Hear me out. In 2 Samuel 6:6–7, Uzzah died because he reached out and grabbed the Ark of God. My man was simply trying to help. William Seymour’s experience was not as extreme; however, he was in the presence of G-d. Could this have been a demonstration of starting in the Spirit and ending in the flesh? William Seymour’s desire was for everyone to know that the Holy Spirit was for everyone. Was this a moment where he chose to please people instead of ABBA, the Father? I use Uzzah as an example because the instructions were not followed. We do not know what instructions were given to William Seymour. However, we do know his intentions, and we are aware of what happened after the building/movement was named. William Seymour’s story inspired me to examine my own good intentions—especially when they become people-pleasing—versus the Father’s will.

I made several attempts to connect to the live however i was unable to gain access.
