Jesus People SF is a ministry begun in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, and continues to remember the Jesus People movement which was the last revival of the Holy Spirit in the US. We are a remnant support ministry.
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.
I was seeking Lonnie info years ago when Sabatini made his documentary, but couldn't find anything. Ironic & a blessing in disguise that the "wokeism" we are experiencing now is SO bad that it makes Lonnie look like an angel in comparison. God's timing is everything 🙏🤍🕊
He is still speaking in death and winning souls in this generation. I can only imagine the # of stars he will have in his crown. I am so saddened by his haters, who try to hold his life in ransome for his faults. I just heard about him during the movie, so I went to do my research. I watched his funeral and all I kept hearing the holy spirit saying was "win souls" he saved so many from dying young.
@@kimartist He sis Kim. We've spoken on Chris' channel a few times. Do you happen to have a link to that documentary. A brief look on RUclips isn't pulling anything up. Hope all is well..
I was saved in the SF Jesus people revolution August 5, 1973, and lived in the Shiloh Christian Commune for 3 years and then went on to Bible school and planted a church in Columbus Ohio. Thank you, Lonnie, and all those who lead this movement. I was a lost long haired, dope smoking, hitch-hiking young man that God was able to redeem.
This Is a story that needs to be retold for this generation, going back especially to all the redemption stories of this movement, and an indictment to all the folks who are preaching doom and destruction on this nation because of all that is happening now. God always has a checkmate for the devil when it comes to souls, especially when mother's n fathers and grandparents are praying. Praise his name🙏🏾
@David DiYanni You were like Lot in the Old Testament. Praise God for men like you who are so brave and follow the Holy Spirit. I'm sure it was difficult to reach people for Jesus in that area. My father served for 3 years on the Presidio of San Francisco, so I spent a little time in the Bay Area in high school and college from 1984-1987.
Remember David had someone murdered and committed adultery with his wife. He was still a man after God's own heart. We are all sinners and God can use us. A repentant heart is what he is looking for, not a self righteous one. I'm more skeptical of people who are "healthy" than those who know they are sick and need a doctor.
I was saved Oct. 6th 1973 out of witchcraft and satanism at 19 years old.i hitchhke to CA from IN June 1974 on my way to Calvary Chapel but got sidetracked and ended up with my first marriage in Palm Springs at Christian Faith Center in end of May 1975. A rollercoast walk with the Lord for many years in and out of sin and then deliverance in Aug 8, 2002 and I was ordained as a Pastor in Dec. 2003 and have served the Lord ever since. I relate to Lonnie.
There is no such thing as a Woman Pastor. If there is, they are fake. God has not ordained women to the pastorate. You are living in disobedience to begin with. It is a shame for a woman to take on the role of pastor, elder, or overseer. Please repent of this wickedness!!!
Great story, my heart goes out to any that have been able to come to the lord and out of the grips of satanism. Then to go into ministry thats a beatiful thing when it happens.
Lonnie had some amazing testimonies in his life of faith! I listened to John Wimbur tell the testimony of the famous Mother's Day move of the LORD when Lonnie spoke! Amazing! Do it again, LORD! Set our hearts on fire for YOU and give us courage and boldness like Lonnie to step out by faith!
@@saltyolbroad2962 I am very sorry that you have been duped into believing a lie, and know not the power and the presence of the wonderful HOLY SPIRIT 😢 I do pray that you will encounter Him! He isn’t a force or anything else, He is a real Person! The person of the Trinity that the enemy has tried to keep out of God’s Church, filling people’s heads with deception. “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives Life!” Word-only churches are dry relics of what Christ had intended for the la to be for this very reason. You can’t shut the Holy Spirit out and not deal with the consequences. Whenever you have headstrong, controlling pastors, you will see this. I really have no intention of getting in an argument. Just read Acts 2 and may He illuminate you on this.
I have only heard about Lonnie past week, but you can just sense he was close to God when he speaks, his voice is full of love, compassion and kindness towards others. Yes, he lost his way somewhere along his journey but God will never abandon us for forsake us even when we fall. Everyone abandoned Jesus in the time of His need, but Jesus drew them all back to Him and forgave them and reminded Peter in his fall how much he still loved Peter even when Peter denied Him 3 times. Only God knows what is in our hearts even when we lose our way and is always waiting for us to return back to His loving arms. Amen.
We are fallible and fail but God is faithful! Pride is a tool the devil uses to confuse and draw us away from Our Holy God. Praise God he was reconciled ; we’ll see him in Heaven.
Please read Lonnie Frisbee's three books, The Jesus Revolution, The Great Commission, Set Free which are written in his own words along with Roger Sachs. I read them before I viewed the Jesus Revolution Movie. The books are such a blessing as is the amazing movie. God worked mightily through Lonnie who yielded his life to Him. I love it when God uses imperfect people to bring glory to His name. Singing in the Spirit in the cave. Awesome!
I saw the "Jesus Revolution" movie last week. I had never heard of Lonnie Frisbee. Chuck Smith, Katherine Kuhlman, John Wimber -- I'd heard of all of them, definitely. I suppose Lonnie's life had been erased from church history, unfortunately. Hopefully now it's resurrected. I got "born again" on February 5, 1973, 50 years ago -- during the same time period of Lonnie's testimony herein. Hard to believe, because it feels like yesterday. I too heard the audible voice of God. I was a college student, and very much "into the world." An anointed man, who I had just met that day, told me about Jesus at his home. I told him, "I believe all this stuff" . . . meaning I believed in Jesus; I believed He was resurrected; I believed he was born of a virgin. I believed because I was raised in the Eastern Orthodox Church. No one told me about Jesus, but the icons in the church "seeped" into me, and I did believe. But I didn't "know" Jesus. He was just far off, somewhere way out in the universe. Maybe he would protect me; maybe he wouldn't. The man said, "Let's pray to be sure." We said a prayer to receive Jesus. I asked forgiveness for my sins, and said he was Lord. The man showed me a scripture, Romans 10:9-10: "If you believe in your heart God raised Him [Jesus] from the dead, and confess with your mouth He is Lord, you shall be saved." [paraphrased.] He asked me, Do you believe He was raised from the dead? I said yes. He then asked, Do you believe He's your Lord? I said yes. He said, "Then your saved!" I left the man's house, and was driving my Father's big purple Cadillac to go home. I was 22 years old and was just going to rush off, full speed ahead, and return to my old way of life - - totally forgetting about what just happened. It would have meant nothing to me. In fact I was already forgetting it. I drove down a slight hill, and the car just stopped. I heard a VERY loud voice, that seemed to explode In my head and fill the entire car, say, "You better stop and think about what happened up there. It was pretty important." God actually stopped my car! I was in a daze. WHAT is happening? My sister-in-law was following me in her car. (She had taken me to visit this man.) She ran up to my car and knocked on the window. "What's wrong?" she asked. I looked at the gas gauge and the car had gas. "I said -- I don't know. It's got gas." She said, "Well let's go get gas anyway" (which made no sense). We took her car to buy a gallon of gas, put it in my car, and the car started! (That too made no sense!) I was a transcendental meditator. I had meditated diligently for 3-1/2 years, 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night. The man and I made a deal that instead of meditating for 20 minutes, I would pray. I agreed to do that for one week. He tried to get me to do it for 3-1/2 years (the same amount of time I had meditated). I thought that was absurd. Then he whittled it down to one year. I said, No way! Then he said, how about one week? He asked how long do you meditate for? I said 20 minutes. He said, "Instead of meditating that 20 minutes, why don't you pray during that time for one week?" I thought, "One week . . . I could do one week." We had a deal. So that night my meditation time arrived. I thought, Okay I've got to pray. I didn't know how to pray. I thought, well when I was 12, I used to get on my knees by my bed and say a prayer. So I'll get on my knees. I did that. I went to open my mouth to pray, and it was like a ton of bricks were falling out of heaven, one by one, all at once, onto my head. Scores of people had been telling me that transcendental meditation was not a good thing. You're opening your up mind up to anything - - demons - - anything. All their words and faces came pouring out of heaven onto my head, like bricks, convicting me that I had been trying to find God in the wrong way. I had been trying to find Him through meditation when I should have been trying to find him through Jesus. I started crying and repenting of my error. I hadn't cried in 10 years. At that point I got "born again." My life started to totally change. Strange, spiritual things started happening to me. I subsequently got baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. The entire heavenly realm opened up to me. It's been a tremendous journey ever since. I pray that anyone reading these words, if you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your Lord, please ask Him into your heart, ask forgiveness for your sins, and say out loud, "I confess you as my personal Lord." It's a simple thing to do. God made it simple. Say that prayer and your life will be changed. You'll never be the same. God bless you. 🙏
Thank you for your testimony. I too am attracted to eastern religion and spirituality. I chant a mantra on beads twice a day for 20 minutes and have been doing it for 12 years. Perhaps it's time I start praying instead of chanting.
No coincidence that your eyes fell upon John Papanikolas’ testimony. I affirm as a fellow follower of Jesus Christ for nearly 40 years, God is making it crystal clear to you Mark, to have conversations with Him through prayer. Meditate only on HIS WORDS in the Bible, ✝️ not manmade recitings, ie, mantras. Praise The Lord for using RUclips to reach lost souls that desperately need Him! 🙌🏼
If you’re still hearing voices, it actually means you’re possessed by a demon pretending to be God or Jesus. Remember how Lucifer said he would be “like the Most High”? God doesn’t need you to “live for him,” he wants you to believe that his Son lived and died for YOU! We are living in the time after Israel lost their kingdom and all of their signs and wonders ceased. Remember that the scriptures say that “the Jews seek after a sign”? Paul received the revelation of the mystery AFTER Israel was let go in Acts 28:28-31; Paul never mentions Israel getting their kingdom again and he never quotes OT scripture again. The mystery introduces the signless dispensation of Gentile grace (and everyone is a Gentile in God’s eyes today), and the terms of that salvation to eternal life are in Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV, and consist of the upfront forgiveness of sin (Eph 1:7 KJV) and eternal security - nothing believers do can lose it (Eph 4:30)! Get out of Israel’s failed relationship with God and show yourself to be a believer that rightly divides the word of truth! Whether God resumes his relationship with Israel or not, does not make us Israel - we are Gentiles offered a free gift of eternal life in Christ!
I can honestly say that when I got saved (Cayucos CA) in early 1981, and the years after - this was a normal kind of experience in our lives as young 'Jesus Followers'. Miracle after miracle. Many of those I saw saved are - like me - still following Christ. "Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!" "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" "Jesus is Lord!"
I’m going to see the movie Jesus revolution for the third time with my friends every single time I get a message of how powerful is God and how he can use anyone to save souls praise the Lord Lonnie continues to preach and bring more people to the lord even now after his passing God continues use his servant Lonnie God is great!!!!
Chuck was not a "stuffy pastor" though he did have a dwindling congregation prior to meeting Lonnie. Chuck was very handsome, a God given charisma and a blinding smile. I never saw him uncomfortable w anyone, the last thing he was was stufffy. He would always say "blessed are the flexible for they will not be broken." Lonnie was about 23 (the actor playing him is 47,) blonde, slight , childlike and good looking. He would come on our campus (Newport Harbor High) during lunch and preach to us, we loved it. I remember Greg sitting close by (he was about 17 and believe it or not, had long pale blonde hair) Most of us highschoolers would not miss Wednesday night with Lonnie or Sunday night, going through the Bible w Chuck.
I was saved in the fall of 1973,too- 20 yrs old. Lived in Oswego NY where a contingent of the west coast Jesus Movement had settled. I didn’t get saved by/with them, but we all became brethren with other local believers. A very special time indeed!
Greg Laurie recently told in an interview that Lonnie repented all when he fell away and came back to the LORD with his whole heart. He contracted aids & died in 1993.
At 8 years old, he was the victim of a “dark evangelist”- what he called a wicked babysitter who abused him .. and no one was able to help , to counsel him during some difficult years later in the 80s,,, he warned people against the evil of sexual deviants, predators as a part of his testimony
I am so grateful for being a believer of Jesus Christ and him calling me. I think back to my life before Jesus revealed his spirit to me and I am so thankful. There’s power in the blood of Jesus Christ ❤️🩸💯love and forgiveness is key!!!!
I love hearing his Lonnie's loving voice and this testimony. I totally get this. I know that audible voice, and I long to hear it again. I pray that we may again witness an outpouring of the Spirit, like we saw at Calvary Chapel, and like happened at Wimber's Vineyard Church on that Mother's Day. You don't have to be perfect to be used by God, you just have to have faith, and be willing and available.
I saw the movie last night and was a bit disappointed that more of the gospel wasn't preached. It was more about the struggles of men than the freedom that Christ brings. They also portrayed Lonnie as a bit of a weirdo stereotypical, southern CA speech. It was still good, but not very accurate to who he was
@@Karin-xn5sx Greg and Cathe finding the Lord , and Pastor Chuck finding his passion after Lonnie lovingly explained the true aspects of spreading the Good News. Lonnie was underplayed by Roumie, he was much more a ”weirdo for Christ” than portrayed. The whole theater clamped when our showing was over, I think they got the message🙂
I just seen it yesterday. I am a Pentecostal, tongue, talking charismatic Christian, who got born again in 1999, at 19, also water baptized. I received the Spirit of God at 21, and was called to be a Prophet at 27 years old. Lonnie and I story are very similar. Even with age. I am now 43 years old, the same age he died at. Greg said he repented and made it back to God. I'm so glad. Jesus loves and forgives.
Reminds me of my baptism in Idaho in December . I was told that I was going to be baptized in a lake , but ended being baptized in a big water trough , and received the Holy Ghost that same day .
The Lord Jesus always uses the least of these, and He saw what was inside of Lonnie's heart, and NOT what man saw on the outside! Looking forward to giving him a great hug and hope that I can sit beside him at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb!
I remember lonnie and his wife connie. I hung out with him a few times. I think it was in SF, not sure, some christians had a mission on page Street. I was seeking at the time but I don't recall if we spoke about matters of faith. It was a year or later that I had a distinct conversation experience and later joined a church. They were lovely, gentle people.
All of us are flawed, weak, frail and subject to setbacks. The good news is Jesus never leaves us. God used Lonnie. God wants to use us. It’s really not about our ability it’s about our availability.
I was in Shiloh house in Eugene Oregon for the winter and the Lord's House in Newport Beach after that. Both were connected Lonnie Frisbee and Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and Chuck Smith we would listen to his tapes daily. I grew a lot in those days it was a marvelous Foundation. This Saturday Night concerts at Calvary Costa Mesa where the best.
What a great example of how we can all hear the Holy Spirit give us directions step by step for others. I find it so comforting like Lonnie is my people. While Lonnie was speaking, I rarely have visions. I saw people spread out having some difficulties with certain things, like tripping up in warfare, then people with the Spirit coming up from behind, spread out to go to individuals who were having troubles. The troubled people were being helped, healed and picked right back up. The more chaos that was happening, the more miracles were being performed, as GOD helps us all through Yeshua, Messiah to be overcomers, by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimonies.
So wonderful and powerful! We are so enjoying learning about Lonny and the incredible work he did for God. After doing more research, it seems clear that the movie fell short in revealing his incredible life’s work of bringing people to Christ Jesus. It did not give him the credit he deserved but it is getting many people introduced to Lonny and they can learn the truth thru his books and many videos ( there is good one with his brother). Praise God!!!! His spirit is still working to inspire many!!!
Very neat to hear him speak. I just saw Jesus Revolution last night and was glad I was introduced to Lonnie’s story. I also listened to one of his real video sermons on RUclips. I could feel the genuineness in his voice and how he preached the Word. God doesn’t use the perfect but uses flawed individuals to carry out his will. I pray he is with the Lord and loved hearing his story.
He is the guy who started all. God used this guy to bring Greg and Church together to started the "Calvary Chapel" churches. The name of Frisbee needs to be always in the history of these churches, then Chuck and then Greg.
I’m amazed of the powerful testimony. I’ve only heard about Lonnie but never heard him testify. This is truly 100 % genuine. The Jesus Movement touched Sweden in the early 70s I believe. One soul changed by Christ is Ulf Christiansson, leader of the christian rock band Jerusalem. I love this testimony. Look out. Jesus is moving powerful today. We don’t want to miss this move but embrace Christ wholly and totally because his coming in nearer than ever before. Love in Christ forever 🔥❤️🙏🙌🎶🇸🇪
Thank you…. I’m in agreement. And we are the ones to bring in the new revival. It takes intentionality to be a Holy Spirit led evangelist, prophet, etc.
I seriously doubt God would want anyone to go back to the defunct, cancelled, failed relationship he had with Israel (who as a nation rejected his Son even after he died a cruel death by crucifixion at their request and rose again)! God gave his divorced wife Israel one generation to come to her senses and accept the proposal of remarriage he sent to her via his Son. God doesn’t owe them another chance! That’s a lie from Satan to deceive us! God’s divorce from his estranged wife Israel is final and the dispensation of Gentiles Grace that began after Acts 28 will take us right to and through the appearing of Jesus Christ (Col 3:4 KJV) and into the kingdom he will inherit from his Father (Col 1:13 KJV) - not Israel’s kingdom! All that belong to God by faith have already been supernaturally translated into it so that the one new man made of twain by us Gentiles and the household of the Jewish saints might be his fellow heir. Ephesians 3:6 KJV
Beautiful testimony and powerful manner in which to let people in on the fact we were each created to know GOD Almighty in a personal way-to have a personal relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ 🎚🙌❗️
I find it interesting that Lonnie had the four spiritual laws memorized and credited bill bright for them. They were a great tool. I’m going to have to Google it and memorize it myself.
Sounds like Lonnie obeyed the Spirit and was used of God to trigger the movement . Also sounds like he never quite got full deliverance from his old life and it dragged him back. I've read that he turned his life back over to God in his last days. Thank God for his courage in stepping out and doing what he did.
I saw the Jesus Revolution twice. Great movie. I had never heard of Lonnie. I was saved in a hippie commune in Colorado 4/28/1974. We knew nothing about what was happening in California as we were living in tents. No tv. The Holy Spirit was moving in such a powerful way across America and millions of young people were saved. I was challenged to pray to God the Creator and ask Him to make whatever was real, real to me. You can’t live in Colorado and not believe in a Creator! I prayed and 3 months later confessed my son and received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. 49 years later, He is still my very life. And the move of God across America is happening again. Pray to be part of it!
That's such a beautiful story! I love to hear about what God has done and what He is doing. When you say "You can’t live in Colorado and not believe in a Creator!" what do you mean? I'm curious
@@Musicalowl12 From my understanding, he could mean " nature" I hear it's a beautiful place. And yes that was a beautiful testimony and the movie was great to me.
I mean psalm 19: 1-6 creation is evidence of a Creator. Romans 1:20 the same thing. As I walked above tree line the stars seemed so close I felt I could reach out and touch them . The beauty of the Rocky Mountains… breathtaking. I intuitively knew this beauty didn’t just happen. It was created. Hence there must be a Creator. Hope this helps
God used him greatly. It was a revival and or explosion even after his Calvary days. It's like he surrendered to God via Jesus and impartations poured out of him into others. The Commision to spread the word into Africa, Europe, etc. was phenomenal but it was always for God. He even recalls in the 2nd book how the church back home would not give him donations for the work but the Lord provided. Very human but somehow God used him tremendously.
Seems like whenever anyone begins to do what Jesus did and said for us to do, jealousy comes and the religious spirit can’t stand it. To not highlight the miracles seems to reveal someone was jealous 😢
Religion hates. It is a weapon, a tool used by the devourer. It comes to steal, kill & destroy. Of all the spirits the religious spirit is the most destructive. It actually murdered Jesus Christ. Matthew 16:21
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Thank you so much for posting this 📖😊
The point of Titus 3:9 is that one tribe is no better than another, and Jew vs gentile is of no issue once we are saved. Proverbs 4:2 says not to forsake Torah. All Scripture is profitable, so this is not about disregarding the Torah. This is a warning about oral laws or interpretations being enforced as Law.
Chuck Smith apparently was uncomfortable with Holy Ghost manifestations and gifts. The church he founded, Calvary Chapel, doesn’t practice them. Later, Lonnie got together with John Wimber, who opened up to these things. They started The Vineyard. Look up a video made by a friend of Lonnie’s called Unscripted by John Ruttkay.
Wow. So powerful! I was waiting for him to eventually say: "And that young man, Roger, was really Greg Laurie" or something similar! Is there a Part 3 to this testimony???
Look in the description of the video for the source. That channel is where I got this audio and they did interviews with lonnie to write a three part autobiography. They are planning to release a documentary per their website
It’s very odd you know…you could have gone to Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa during the mid to late 1970s and never have heard of Lonnie. I know because I was there for years and his name was written out of the history and it was suppressed.
This is accurate. I knew someone who went to CC bible college in the 2010s who said the same. And yet one has heard of CC only humanly speaking because of him.
@@JesusPeopleSF it is troublesome to me that Calvary was built upon the teaching a of one who was part of a culture of drugs and aberrant sexuality. Though CC was a stepping stone in my faith, I cannot now affirm that the gospel which they preached was the same Gospel which Paul preached. Neither was it the gospel which Spurgeon preached. I often experienced Chuck saying many times that Spurgeon was one of his great influences in the faith. Yet, Spurgeon was very clear that he held to a soteriology like that of John Calvin. Spurgeon did not ascribe to altar calls and decisional regeneration what was clearly a monergistic work of God alone. Calvary less so as they promoted a synergistic view of man’s will cooperating with God’s will to result in salvation. Also, was Spurgeon a proponent of Pre-tribulation Rapture eschatology and Dispensationalism? Certainly Chuck Smith held all of these positions. I once tried to have a conversation about these things with Chuck outside of Mother’s Market on 17th street in Costa Mesa. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the church feel it important to separate from Lonnie because of some of the things like his drugs usage and homosexuality? I feel like they were trying to clean up and sanctify the history books a bit. I am grateful for my years at CCCM and also for the times spent in Missler’s study and the FFFC group. However, I believe it was during a Bible study in Romans where God really apprehended me with His Gospel. My time at CCCM was merely preparatory. Every church story has man involved and so there is always an element of sinful humanity in even the best of things. My prayer is that people who continue searching scripture and grow to no longer drink only milk.
In my opinion, it’s a shame that the Jesus revolution film about GL wasn’t as gracious to this young man Loni, as God was to him…But Loni doesn’t care:) he’s with his best friend!
There is a documentary on Lonnie and a three-part autobiography if you want to read more. There’s also a larger history of the jesuspeople movement written by Larry Eskridge.
Thanks. I did d further research and found he was molested by a neighbor when he was 8 who babysat him. I have found that most all ppl with those experiences have issues with confusion and a serious struggle with all kinds of relationships. It was so confusing for him because his mother took up for the neighbor because he was so clean cut. How badly that must have affected Lonnie’s little soul
I get it! We've all fallen short of the glory of God! None righteous, no not one! Our righteousness is in CHRIST alone! Therefore, I REJOICE at the move of the LORD in the lives of those HE touches!
I don't know. . .doesn't the Bible say something about "putting your hand to the plow?" Lemme look it up. . .Luke 9:62 and "Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'" Didn't he kind o do that?
Jesus People SF is a ministry begun in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, and continues to remember the Jesus People movement which was the last revival of the Holy Spirit in the US. We are a remnant support ministry.
The Holy Spirit is alive, and well. And doing what scripture says it does. EVERYTIME someone is bought to life in Christ, the Holy Spirit is moving!
@@jonilikens8184 I agree completely
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.
I want to be apart of Jesus people 🙏 ✝️😊

Everyone is here because of the movie. Decades later Christ is still using Lonnie to connect people to the Lord.
Hallelujah!!!
Exactly 💯
I was seeking Lonnie info years ago when Sabatini made his documentary, but couldn't find anything. Ironic & a blessing in disguise that the "wokeism" we are experiencing now is SO bad that it makes Lonnie look like an angel in comparison. God's timing is everything 🙏🤍🕊
He is still speaking in death and winning souls in this generation. I can only imagine the # of stars he will have in his crown. I am so saddened by his haters, who try to hold his life in ransome for his faults. I just heard about him during the movie, so I went to do my research. I watched his funeral and all I kept hearing the holy spirit saying was "win souls" he saved so many from dying young.
@@kimartist He sis Kim. We've spoken on Chris' channel a few times. Do you happen to have a link to that documentary. A brief look on RUclips isn't pulling anything up. Hope all is well..
I was saved in the SF Jesus people revolution August 5, 1973, and lived in the Shiloh Christian Commune for 3 years and then went on to Bible school and planted a church in Columbus Ohio. Thank you, Lonnie, and all those who lead this movement. I was a lost long haired, dope smoking, hitch-hiking young man that God was able to redeem.
Praise God for using you brother 🙏
@@scott4499 I actually lived in a Shiloh house in San Francisco for a year! We witnessed a lot on the Haight Ashbury strip!
This Is a story that needs to be retold for this generation, going back especially to all the redemption stories of this movement, and an indictment to all the folks who are preaching doom and destruction on this nation because of all that is happening now. God always has a checkmate for the devil when it comes to souls, especially when mother's n fathers and grandparents are praying. Praise his name🙏🏾
@David DiYanni You were like Lot in the Old Testament. Praise God for men like you who are so brave and follow the Holy Spirit. I'm sure it was difficult to reach people for Jesus in that area. My father served for 3 years on the Presidio of San Francisco, so I spent a little time in the Bay Area in high school and college from 1984-1987.
I'm in Columbus. Are you part of the Diyanni Homes family? Vineyard Columbus in Reynoldsburg area?
Remember David had someone murdered and committed adultery with his wife. He was still a man after God's own heart. We are all sinners and God can use us. A repentant heart is what he is looking for, not a self righteous one. I'm more skeptical of people who are "healthy" than those who know they are sick and need a doctor.
Amen!!!!!
Amen!!!!
I love Jesus
Awesome. Praise God.
Love this.
I was saved Oct. 6th 1973 out of witchcraft and satanism at 19 years old.i hitchhke to CA from IN June 1974 on my way to Calvary Chapel but got sidetracked and ended up with my first marriage in Palm Springs at Christian Faith Center in end of May 1975. A rollercoast walk with the Lord for many years in and out of sin and then deliverance in Aug 8, 2002 and I was ordained as a Pastor in Dec. 2003 and have served the Lord ever since. I relate to Lonnie.
Nancy, I got saved the same year and at the same age. I am so sad that so many of us have fallen by the wayside.
There is no such thing as a Woman Pastor. If there is, they are fake. God has not ordained women to the pastorate. You are living in disobedience to begin with. It is a shame for a woman to take on the role of pastor, elder, or overseer. Please repent of this wickedness!!!

Great story, my heart goes out to any that have been able to come to the lord and out of the grips of satanism. Then to go into ministry thats a beatiful thing when it happens.
Lonnie had some amazing testimonies in his life of faith! I listened to John Wimbur tell the testimony of the famous Mother's Day move of the LORD when Lonnie spoke! Amazing!
Do it again, LORD! Set our hearts on fire for YOU and give us courage and boldness like Lonnie to step out by faith!
@@joinjen3854 Yes! He also said they shouldn't have broken away from Calvary.
We need BOTH Word AND power; can’t separate the two.
@Diana Mann You need The Word, i.e., Jesus. You don't need "the power." Christ is the power.
Yes, we need you lord...
@@saltyolbroad2962 I am very sorry that you have been duped into believing a lie, and know not the power and the presence of the wonderful HOLY SPIRIT 😢 I do pray that you will encounter Him! He isn’t a force or anything else, He is a real Person! The person of the Trinity that the enemy has tried to keep out of God’s Church, filling people’s heads with deception. “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives Life!” Word-only churches are dry relics of what Christ had intended for the la to be for this very reason. You can’t shut the Holy Spirit out and not deal with the consequences. Whenever you have headstrong, controlling pastors, you will see this. I really have no intention of getting in an argument. Just read Acts 2 and may He illuminate you on this.
I have only heard about Lonnie past week, but you can just sense he was close to God when he speaks, his voice is full of love, compassion and kindness towards others. Yes, he lost his way somewhere along his journey but God will never abandon us for forsake us even when we fall. Everyone abandoned Jesus in the time of His need, but Jesus drew them all back to Him and forgave them and reminded Peter in his fall how much he still loved Peter even when Peter denied Him 3 times. Only God knows what is in our hearts even when we lose our way and is always waiting for us to return back to His loving arms. Amen.
Amen
We are fallible and fail but God is faithful! Pride is a tool the devil uses to confuse and draw us away from Our Holy God. Praise God he was reconciled ; we’ll see him in Heaven.
Beautifully said. Thank you.
Lonnie was huge & very instrumental in this movement even though Greg Laurie doesn't admit it. 😢
Beautifully put
Please read Lonnie Frisbee's three books, The Jesus Revolution, The Great Commission, Set Free which are written in his own words along with Roger Sachs. I read them before I viewed the Jesus Revolution Movie. The books are such a blessing as is the amazing movie. God worked mightily through Lonnie who yielded his life to Him. I love it when God uses imperfect people to bring glory to His name. Singing in the Spirit in the cave. Awesome!
Roger sachs is an awesome guy and new Lonnie very well. Please read his books. I'm sure he would appreciate it as lonnie wood
Amen
I saw the "Jesus Revolution" movie last week. I had never heard of Lonnie Frisbee. Chuck Smith, Katherine Kuhlman, John Wimber -- I'd heard of all of them, definitely.
I suppose Lonnie's life had been erased from church history, unfortunately. Hopefully now it's resurrected.
I got "born again" on February 5, 1973, 50 years ago -- during the same time period of Lonnie's testimony herein. Hard to believe, because it feels like yesterday.
I too heard the audible voice of God. I was a college student, and very much "into the world."
An anointed man, who I had just met that day, told me about Jesus at his home.
I told him, "I believe all this stuff" . . . meaning I believed in Jesus; I believed He was resurrected; I believed he was born of a virgin.
I believed because I was raised in the Eastern Orthodox Church. No one told me about Jesus, but the icons in the church "seeped" into me, and I did believe.
But I didn't "know" Jesus. He was just far off, somewhere way out in the universe. Maybe he would protect me; maybe he wouldn't.
The man said, "Let's pray to be sure." We said a prayer to receive Jesus. I asked forgiveness for my sins, and said he was Lord.
The man showed me a scripture, Romans 10:9-10:
"If you believe in your heart God raised Him [Jesus] from the dead, and confess with your mouth He is Lord, you shall be saved." [paraphrased.]
He asked me, Do you believe He was raised from the dead? I said yes. He then asked, Do you believe He's your Lord? I said yes. He said, "Then your saved!"
I left the man's house, and was driving my Father's big purple Cadillac to go home. I was 22 years old and was just going to rush off, full speed ahead, and return to my old way of life - - totally forgetting about what just happened. It would have meant nothing to me. In fact I was already forgetting it.
I drove down a slight hill, and the car just stopped. I heard a VERY loud voice, that seemed to explode In my head and fill the entire car, say, "You better stop and think about what happened up there. It was pretty important."
God actually stopped my car!
I was in a daze. WHAT is happening? My sister-in-law was following me in her car. (She had taken me to visit this man.)
She ran up to my car and knocked on the window. "What's wrong?" she asked. I looked at the gas gauge and the car had gas. "I said -- I don't know. It's got gas."
She said, "Well let's go get gas anyway" (which made no sense).
We took her car to buy a gallon of gas, put it in my car, and the car started! (That too made no sense!)
I was a transcendental meditator. I had meditated diligently for 3-1/2 years, 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night.
The man and I made a deal that instead of meditating for 20 minutes, I would pray. I agreed to do that for one week.
He tried to get me to do it for 3-1/2 years (the same amount of time I had meditated). I thought that was absurd. Then he whittled it down to one year. I said, No way!
Then he said, how about one week? He asked how long do you meditate for? I said 20 minutes.
He said, "Instead of meditating that 20 minutes, why don't you pray during that time for one week?"
I thought, "One week . . . I could do one week." We had a deal.
So that night my meditation time arrived. I thought, Okay I've got to pray. I didn't know how to pray. I thought, well when I was 12, I used to get on my knees by my bed and say a prayer. So I'll get on my knees.
I did that. I went to open my mouth to pray, and it was like a ton of bricks were falling out of heaven, one by one, all at once, onto my head.
Scores of people had been telling me that transcendental meditation was not a good thing. You're opening your up mind up to anything - - demons - - anything.
All their words and faces came pouring out of heaven onto my head, like bricks, convicting me that I had been trying to find God in the wrong way.
I had been trying to find Him through meditation when I should have been trying to find him through Jesus.
I started crying and repenting of my error. I hadn't cried in 10 years.
At that point I got "born again." My life started to totally change. Strange, spiritual things started happening to me.
I subsequently got baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. The entire heavenly realm opened up to me.
It's been a tremendous journey ever since.
I pray that anyone reading these words, if you have not yet received Jesus Christ as your Lord, please ask Him into your heart, ask forgiveness for your sins, and say out loud, "I confess you as my personal Lord."
It's a simple thing to do. God made it simple.
Say that prayer and your life will be changed. You'll never be the same. God bless you. 🙏
Thank you for your testimony. I too am attracted to eastern religion and spirituality. I chant a mantra on beads twice a day for 20 minutes and have been doing it for 12 years. Perhaps it's time I start praying instead of chanting.
No coincidence that your eyes fell upon John Papanikolas’ testimony. I affirm as a fellow follower of Jesus Christ for nearly 40 years, God is making it crystal clear to you Mark, to have conversations with Him through prayer. Meditate only on HIS WORDS in the Bible, ✝️ not manmade recitings, ie, mantras.
Praise The Lord for using RUclips to reach lost souls that desperately need Him! 🙌🏼
@@maryannehaskins6504 Thank you, Mary.
If you’re still hearing voices, it actually means you’re possessed by a demon pretending to be God or Jesus. Remember how Lucifer said he would be “like the Most High”? God doesn’t need you to “live for him,” he wants you to believe that his Son lived and died for YOU! We are living in the time after Israel lost their kingdom and all of their signs and wonders ceased. Remember that the scriptures say that “the Jews seek after a sign”? Paul received the revelation of the mystery AFTER Israel was let go in Acts 28:28-31; Paul never mentions Israel getting their kingdom again and he never quotes OT scripture again. The mystery introduces the signless dispensation of Gentile grace (and everyone is a Gentile in God’s eyes today), and the terms of that salvation to eternal life are in Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV, and consist of the upfront forgiveness of sin (Eph 1:7 KJV) and eternal security - nothing believers do can lose it (Eph 4:30)! Get out of Israel’s failed relationship with God and show yourself to be a believer that rightly divides the word of truth! Whether God resumes his relationship with Israel or not, does not make us Israel - we are Gentiles offered a free gift of eternal life in Christ!
@@markl1473 that would be great if you did that! It's a step in the right direction for you!
I can honestly say that when I got saved (Cayucos CA) in early 1981, and the years after - this was a normal kind of experience in our lives as young 'Jesus Followers'. Miracle after miracle. Many of those I saw saved are - like me - still following Christ. "Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!" "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" "Jesus is Lord!"
Ever since i watched "jesus revolution" i have been drawn to this movement. I hope one day i can cross paths with this movement when it happens again.
draw near to Christ, seek his face my friend - he IS the movement! haha
@@mozdickson absolutely
Amen! Do it again Lord Jesus
I absolutely love this guy. he is my best friend that I never met. he has a special place in heaven. fact!
thank you
I’m going to see the movie Jesus revolution for the third time with my friends every single time I get a message of how powerful is God and how he can use anyone to save souls praise the Lord Lonnie continues to preach and bring more people to the lord even now after his passing God continues use his servant Lonnie God is great!!!!
Chuck was not a "stuffy pastor" though he did have a dwindling congregation prior to meeting Lonnie. Chuck was very handsome, a God given charisma and a blinding smile. I never saw him uncomfortable w anyone, the last thing he was was stufffy. He would always say "blessed are the flexible for they will not be broken." Lonnie was about 23 (the actor playing him is 47,) blonde, slight , childlike and good looking. He would come on our campus (Newport Harbor High) during lunch and preach to us, we loved it. I remember Greg sitting close by (he was about 17 and believe it or not, had long pale blonde hair) Most of us highschoolers would not miss Wednesday night with Lonnie or Sunday night, going through the Bible w Chuck.
thanks
I was saved in the fall of 1973,too- 20 yrs old. Lived in Oswego NY where a contingent of the west coast Jesus Movement had settled. I didn’t get saved by/with them, but we all became brethren with other local believers. A very special time indeed!
The rest of Lonnie's story was heart-breaking, but heard he came back to the Lord,( only God knows his heart) before his death.
Yes, this is the story that his friends about the days before his passing
Greg Laurie recently told in an interview that Lonnie repented all when he fell away and came back to the LORD with his whole heart. He contracted aids & died in 1993.
At 8 years old, he was the victim of a “dark evangelist”- what he called a wicked babysitter who abused him .. and no one was able to help , to counsel him during some difficult years later in the 80s,,, he warned people against the evil of sexual deviants, predators as a part of his testimony
Did he and Connie stay married
@@sydwee915 they divorced.
God, reward Your servant Lonnie Frisbee for his faithfullness and example of loving people more than what others thought.
I am so grateful for being a believer of Jesus Christ and him calling me. I think back to my life before Jesus revealed his spirit to me and I am so thankful. There’s power in the blood of Jesus Christ ❤️🩸💯love and forgiveness is key!!!!
Faith in Christ is the key.
I love hearing his Lonnie's loving voice and this testimony. I totally get this. I know that audible voice, and I long to hear it again. I pray that we may again witness an outpouring of the Spirit, like we saw at Calvary Chapel, and like happened at Wimber's Vineyard Church on that Mother's Day. You don't have to be perfect to be used by God, you just have to have faith, and be willing and available.
Can I lose my salvation?
Love you Lonnie. Thank you for loving Him❤️🔥
Man these testimonies are great and beautiful I pray that we get back to not only the word of God but the spirit and all of its Glory
Can’t wait for the Jesus Revolution movie that Lonnie is portrayed by Jonathan Roumie.
@@joinjen3854 I just seen the movie and no it's not mostly about Chuck or Lonnie. It's mostly about Greg and Cathe Laurie and their lives.
I saw the movie last night and was a bit disappointed that more of the gospel wasn't preached. It was more about the struggles of men than the freedom that Christ brings. They also portrayed Lonnie as a bit of a weirdo stereotypical, southern CA speech. It was still good, but not very accurate to who he was
@@Karin-xn5sx Greg and Cathe finding the Lord , and Pastor Chuck finding his passion after Lonnie lovingly explained the true aspects of spreading the Good News. Lonnie was underplayed by Roumie, he was much more a ”weirdo for Christ” than portrayed. The whole theater clamped when our showing was over, I think they got the message🙂
I just seen it yesterday. I am a Pentecostal, tongue, talking charismatic Christian, who got born again in 1999, at 19, also water baptized. I received the Spirit of God at 21, and was called to be a Prophet at 27 years old. Lonnie and I story are very similar. Even with age. I am now 43 years old, the same age he died at. Greg said he repented and made it back to God. I'm so glad. Jesus loves and forgives.
@@Karin-xn5sx Gospel preaching will follow.
The movie is A+++!!! Praise God for these men who were available and willing- not perfect - NONE of us are!!
Reminds me of my baptism in Idaho in December . I was told that I was going to be baptized in a lake , but ended being baptized in a big water trough , and received the Holy Ghost that same day .
Water baptism is not for today. We receive the Holy Spirit the instant we simply believe in Jesus Christ and accept the free gift of Ephesians 2:8&9!
The Lord Jesus always uses the least of these, and He saw what was inside of Lonnie's heart, and NOT what man saw on the outside! Looking forward to giving him a great hug and hope that I can sit beside him at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb!
Thanks for the comment. I agree
I remember lonnie and his wife connie. I hung out with him a few times. I think it was in SF, not sure, some christians had a mission on page Street. I was seeking at the time but I don't recall if we spoke about matters of faith. It was a year or later that I had a distinct conversation experience and later joined a church. They were lovely, gentle people.
All of us are flawed, weak, frail and subject to setbacks. The good news is Jesus never leaves us. God used Lonnie. God wants to use us. It’s really not about our ability it’s about our availability.
I was in Shiloh house in Eugene Oregon for the winter and the Lord's House in Newport Beach after that. Both were connected Lonnie Frisbee and Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa and Chuck Smith we would listen to his tapes daily. I grew a lot in those days it was a marvelous Foundation. This Saturday Night concerts at Calvary Costa Mesa where the best.
@@shellymcgrew4412 where can that video be found? Thanks
@@shellymcgrew4412 Thank you.
Christian communes!!!! 😊
Thank you for this. What a wonderful testimony of how God speaks to us. Lonnie was a true servant of the Lord. ❤
Thanks for the reply.
What a great example of how we can all hear the Holy Spirit give us directions step by step for others. I find it so comforting like Lonnie is my people.
While Lonnie was speaking, I rarely have visions. I saw people spread out having some difficulties with certain things, like tripping up in warfare, then people with the Spirit coming up from behind, spread out to go to individuals who were having troubles. The troubled people were being helped, healed and picked right back up. The more chaos that was happening, the more miracles were being performed, as GOD helps us all through Yeshua, Messiah to be overcomers, by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimonies.
Beautiful vision! It sounds like it could be associated with the Lord cleaning up the bride for the rapture 😊
Such a beautiful testimony !! Praise God!
Thank you for posting this. So powerful.❤
So wonderful and powerful! We are so enjoying learning about Lonny and the incredible work he did for God. After doing more research, it seems clear that the movie fell short in revealing his incredible life’s work of bringing people to Christ Jesus. It did not give him the credit he deserved but it is getting many people introduced to Lonny and they can learn the truth thru his books and many videos ( there is good one with his brother). Praise God!!!! His spirit is still working to inspire many!!!
What's the book called?
God Speaks!!
@ Elizabeth Quinn What is the name of the book about Lonnie with his brother?
Someone lists his 3 books below in the comments: The Jesus Revolution, The Great Commission and Set Free
Very neat to hear him speak. I just saw Jesus Revolution last night and was glad I was introduced to Lonnie’s story. I also listened to one of his real video sermons on RUclips. I could feel the genuineness in his voice and how he preached the Word. God doesn’t use the perfect but uses flawed individuals to carry out his will. I pray he is with the Lord and loved hearing his story.
thanks for the reply
He is the guy who started all. God used this guy to bring Greg and Church together to started the "Calvary Chapel" churches. The name of Frisbee needs to be always in the history of these churches, then Chuck and then Greg.
This is wonderful. Praise Jesus!
I’m amazed of the powerful testimony. I’ve only heard about Lonnie but never heard him testify. This is truly 100 % genuine. The Jesus Movement touched Sweden in the early 70s I believe. One soul changed by Christ is Ulf Christiansson, leader of the christian rock band Jerusalem. I love this testimony. Look out. Jesus is moving powerful today. We don’t want to miss this move but embrace Christ wholly and totally because his coming in nearer than ever before. Love in Christ forever 🔥❤️🙏🙌🎶🇸🇪
Thank you…. I’m in agreement. And we are the ones to bring in the new revival. It takes intentionality to be a Holy Spirit led evangelist, prophet, etc.
What a beautiful testimony! Thanks for sharing this!🙏🕊️
Thank you for the comment
Being kind brings kindness out
So many more testimonies that would make a great movie, for people who need an example of what God can do with the least of these who are willing.
God thank you for Lonnie for without him this movement never would of took place
I seriously doubt God would want anyone to go back to the defunct, cancelled, failed relationship he had with Israel (who as a nation rejected his Son even after he died a cruel death by crucifixion at their request and rose again)! God gave his divorced wife Israel one generation to come to her senses and accept the proposal of remarriage he sent to her via his Son. God doesn’t owe them another chance! That’s a lie from Satan to deceive us! God’s divorce from his estranged wife Israel is final and the dispensation of Gentiles Grace that began after Acts 28 will take us right to and through the appearing of Jesus Christ (Col 3:4 KJV) and into the kingdom he will inherit from his Father (Col 1:13 KJV) - not Israel’s kingdom! All that belong to God by faith have already been supernaturally translated into it so that the one new man made of twain by us Gentiles and the household of the Jewish saints might be his fellow heir. Ephesians 3:6 KJV
Beautiful testimony and powerful manner in which to let people in on the fact we were each created to know GOD Almighty in a personal way-to have a personal relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ 🎚🙌❗️
This was beautiful
I find it interesting that Lonnie had the four spiritual laws memorized and credited bill bright for them. They were a great tool. I’m going to have to Google it and memorize it myself.
I still have a couple of copies of those little yellow booklets!
And oddly Bill Bright was Presbyterian
That’s so amazing so cool to hear this testimony
Wow!!!! So incredible!
Amazing grace....thank you Jesus
Thanks for the comment
Sounds like Lonnie obeyed the Spirit and was used of God to trigger the movement .
Also sounds like he never quite got full deliverance from his old life and it dragged him back.
I've read that he turned his life back over to God in his last days. Thank God for his courage in stepping out and doing what he did.
Oh my goodness! Beautiful testimony
Amen the Lord was there with you
I saw the Jesus Revolution twice. Great movie. I had never heard of Lonnie. I was saved in a hippie commune in Colorado 4/28/1974. We knew nothing about what was happening in California as we were living in tents. No tv. The Holy Spirit was moving in such a powerful way across America and millions of young people were saved. I was challenged to pray to God the Creator and ask Him to make whatever was real, real to me. You can’t live in Colorado and not believe in a Creator! I prayed and 3 months later confessed my son and received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. 49 years later, He is still my very life. And the move of God across America is happening again. Pray to be part of it!
That's such a beautiful story! I love to hear about what God has done and what He is doing. When you say "You can’t live in Colorado and not believe in a Creator!" what do you mean? I'm curious
@@Musicalowl12 From my understanding, he could mean " nature" I hear it's a beautiful place. And yes that was a beautiful testimony and the movie was great to me.
I mean psalm 19: 1-6 creation is evidence of a Creator. Romans 1:20 the same thing. As I walked above tree line the stars seemed so close I felt I could reach out and touch them . The beauty of the Rocky Mountains… breathtaking.
I intuitively knew this beauty didn’t just happen. It was created. Hence there must be a Creator. Hope this helps
thanks for the comment
Thank you for sharing this!!!!!!!
You’re welcome
Love this. I can’t wait to need my Jesus my savior ❤
thanks
God used him greatly. It was a revival and or explosion even after his Calvary days. It's like he surrendered to God via Jesus and impartations poured out of him into others. The Commision to spread the word into Africa, Europe, etc. was phenomenal but it was always for God. He even recalls in the 2nd book how the church back home would not give him donations for the work but the Lord provided. Very human but somehow God used him tremendously.
Thanks for the comment
Magnficent and beautiful. I will look forward to meeting someday in Heaven.
Seems like whenever anyone begins to do what Jesus did and said for us to do, jealousy comes and the religious spirit can’t stand it. To not highlight the miracles seems to reveal someone was jealous 😢
So true, Jesus got most evil attacks from religious leaders.
Religion hates. It is a weapon, a tool used by the devourer. It comes to steal, kill & destroy. Of all the spirits the religious spirit is the most destructive. It actually murdered Jesus Christ. Matthew 16:21
His Name is wonderful!!
Worshipping in the Spirit was obedient to a word of God. Campus Crusade 4 spiritual laws shared. 🙏
Thanks for telling truth
thanks for your reply
I am sorry I did not know Lonnie until now, I hope he will again again lead folks to Christ!
He passed away but has a few sermons recorded. So maybe still possible
He is still being used by God to bring people to Christ…
Thank you Lord for speaking to us

I like that song quite a bit.
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Thank you so much for posting this 📖😊
The point of Titus 3:9 is that one tribe is no better than another, and Jew vs gentile is of no issue once we are saved.
Proverbs 4:2 says not to forsake Torah. All Scripture is profitable, so this is not about disregarding the Torah.
This is a warning about oral laws or interpretations being enforced as Law.
Love this 🙏❤️🙏❤️
thanks
I totally AGREE ! He began moving in Power of the Holy Spirit in healing and words of knowledge and then Chuck Smith wanted him to leave ??
Chuck Smith apparently was uncomfortable with Holy Ghost manifestations and gifts. The church he founded, Calvary Chapel, doesn’t practice them. Later, Lonnie got together with John Wimber, who opened up to these things. They started The Vineyard. Look up a video made by a friend of Lonnie’s called Unscripted by John Ruttkay.
@@cynthiafisher9907I just posted the link to that interview above❣️it’s a must watch❣️
I just saw the JESUS REVOLUTION movie. It is a good film because it's the unvarnished truth. Warts and all.
A good film, but not exactly unvarnished. 😂
Is it worth my 8 bucks?
@@saltyolbroad2962 I think it will be 8 bucks well spent.
WOW and Amen . . .
What happened to him. He must have been very young then. Thanks to you that answers me.
Thank you Patricia. How sad!!
Says he died at 43. AIDS
Wow. So powerful! I was waiting for him to eventually say: "And that young man, Roger, was really Greg Laurie" or something similar! Is there a Part 3 to this testimony???
Look in the description of the video for the source. That channel is where I got this audio and they did interviews with lonnie to write a three part autobiography. They are planning to release a documentary per their website
Could be included in one of the volumes of his autobiography. Check it out on amazon
He probably had to fictionalize to protect identities
Precious.
It’s very odd you know…you could have gone to Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa during the mid to late 1970s and never have heard of Lonnie.
I know because I was there for years and his name was written out of the history and it was suppressed.
This is accurate. I knew someone who went to CC bible college in the 2010s who said the same. And yet one has heard of CC only humanly speaking because of him.
@@JesusPeopleSF it is troublesome to me that Calvary was built upon the teaching a of one who was part of a culture of drugs and aberrant sexuality. Though CC was a stepping stone in my faith, I cannot now affirm that the gospel which they preached was the same Gospel which Paul preached. Neither was it the gospel which Spurgeon preached. I often experienced Chuck saying many times that Spurgeon was one of his great influences in the faith. Yet, Spurgeon was very clear that he held to a soteriology like that of John Calvin. Spurgeon did not ascribe to altar calls and decisional regeneration what was clearly a monergistic work of God alone. Calvary less so as they promoted a synergistic view of man’s will cooperating with God’s will to result in salvation. Also, was Spurgeon a proponent of Pre-tribulation Rapture eschatology and Dispensationalism? Certainly Chuck Smith held all of these positions. I once tried to have a conversation about these things with Chuck outside of Mother’s Market on 17th street in Costa Mesa.
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the church feel it important to separate from Lonnie because of some of the things like his drugs usage and homosexuality? I feel like they were trying to clean up and sanctify the history books a bit.
I am grateful for my years at CCCM and also for the times spent in Missler’s study and the FFFC group.
However, I believe it was during a Bible study in Romans where God really apprehended me with His Gospel. My time at CCCM was merely preparatory.
Every church story has man involved and so there is always an element of sinful humanity in even the best of things.
My prayer is that people who continue searching scripture and grow to no longer drink only milk.
In my opinion, it’s a shame that the Jesus revolution film about GL wasn’t as gracious to this young man Loni, as God was to him…But Loni doesn’t care:) he’s with his best friend!
after revival he backslid and got aids , but repented
thanks
Amazing, what happened next
There is a documentary on Lonnie and a three-part autobiography if you want to read more. There’s also a larger history of the jesuspeople movement written by Larry Eskridge.
What did Lonnie die of ?
AIDS
Thanks. I did d further research and found he was molested by a neighbor when he was 8 who babysat him. I have found that most all ppl with those experiences have issues with confusion and a serious struggle with all kinds of relationships. It was so confusing for him because his mother took up for the neighbor because he was so clean cut. How badly that must have affected Lonnie’s little soul
@@sharonwise2790 that's so true and what a precious soul he was greatly use by God

@@bethannhunt4695 Yes, and the Bible tells us that we should pray for all the deceased as well as for the living, the communion of saints, right?
@@edenjohnson3342 we don't pray for the deceased. Lonnie is with Jesus in heaven. Let's pray for the lost to come to Christ!!
@@Ranbowriter You must not know about the communion of saints. They pray for us and we pray for them.
@Eden Johnson , could you give a Scripture reference please? Thanks

I get it! We've all fallen short of the glory of God! None righteous, no not one! Our righteousness is in CHRIST alone!
Therefore, I REJOICE at the move of the LORD in the lives of those HE touches!

I don't know. . .doesn't the Bible say something about "putting your hand to the plow?" Lemme look it up. . .Luke 9:62 and "Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'" Didn't he kind o do that?
