I went to Brownsville while being abused by a religious family member... I was 13, I'm 33 now... the seed that was sown in my life back then is beginning to sprout and now I love the Word so much... I dont know what I would do without the holy spirit with me...hearing these songs brings me so much comfort because back then I wanted my life to end... and now everyday is beautiful. No stopping me now!
I know from experience Jesus makes one whole again, if you allow him to. Forgiving is key for you not them. I also know God svenges one. Especially if they won't repent of their sin. God our Heavenly father does not accept bullying his beloved children. Healed, delivered, set free by the power of the Blood of Jesus The Grace of the Cross., my prayer is that you recieve the fullness of his of his Grace and total healing spirit, souls, body in Jesus Christ name. The redeemer. Stay free it is your covenant right.
I was a very shy drummer in our church that played like a mad man, but I just never really felt His Spirit. I was married to the Pastors daughter and was "forced" to go to the first service as a staff member of the church. Lindell and Steve both laid hands on me in the front right alter. People were laying all around me. Slain or they were travailing. I grew up in the Church of God so I had seen a lot of things by this time of my life. When they laid hands on me, I did in fact go out. Never had happened to me before. After the service, I didn't feel much. I was my shy self as always. Got back to Texas and our first service post going was that Sunday. Music was going and done and then the preaching started. Still not much there... All of the sudden I was walking to the alter from the back of the church. I don't remember really getting up, I was half way there when I realized i was going to go up on the platform. Didn't know why... Didn't know what I was gonna say if I did. The pastor saw me hit the first step and he just handed me the mic and you know preachers don't just hand over mics... Something was about to happen... I felt the Spirit that was imparted in me begin to speak. It wasn't my words.. I was merely along for the ride.... It was an altar call. I was mortified! I guess I had said what I had to say... And my last words were "Get Real". People started flooding to the front and I was laying hands on people that I didn't even know. They were just going out just like in Brownsville... Wasn't me... I was just a vessel at that point. We had a smaller version of the revival in Brownsville for about 2 years or so and they called it the "Get Real" revival. After this revival... The devil did a number on me. I got into meth and heroin and sadly a divorce. I was running the streets and living under bridges and whatever dope house I could find. I spent years in my addiction and years of going to jail and being on probation. In 2009... I woke up on my birthday and said I was done. I have been sober from meth and heroin ever since. I kept pleading Enemy's Camp until I could find a bed at rehab. I got clean. I started drinking as I moved addictions. Never too serious... A couple of drinks and laughing and jokes with the boys at the bar. Since then, I have been completely restored within myself. I do admit I have a drink every now and again but that is getting fewer and farther between. I have restored my name and integrity. I have a well paid job. I fought the FBI and was able to restore my license to carry which was as hard as getting sober in a lot of ways.... I toured with a national country music artist and I have since helped to start an A/V company and travel all over the country doing shows. This all goes back to Lindell. I was drenched in boredom of the music of that era. It did not speak to my spirit. Lindell's style, voice and song selection as well as his desire for perfection... Yet, brokenness in his music is what drew me in I know he has gone through a lot these past few years and I wish I could visit his church while he is still going at it. Maybe one day. You all be blessed and hopefully realize that this revival and it's music birthed a lot of soldiers for Christ. Blessings.
I went to the Revival six times! My life will never be the same!!! We need more Lord!!! Send it to America now Lord! Please open up the heavens and send Revival again!!!
I went once and experienced the same. God is God.....alone! God is God in Christ and God is in the Holy Spirit, who can know Him? He is and was and is to come! Thank you Father for faithful servants who sing their hearts back to you! We were truly made to worship Him.....alone!
Revival first comes by repentance secondly seeking him with all your heart with all you got. Then you'll have revival like I heard Steve Hill say we need ministers to maintain revival not to control it.
I was a 25 year drug addict. God showed up to me in rehab. I was not looking for him. But he sure found me. I never did one step of the 12 steps. I came out of there 30 days later lost looking for this thing called Christ and a church. I bounced around from church the church looking for what God told me I was searching for. I stumbled across Brownsville revival. And the music. It’s save my life. I became a 911 medic after I came out of rehab. At 40 years old I went back to college. I’ve now been a medic for 20 years. Passed drug test after drug test 20 years running. And these song still play in my head to this day. You can say what you want about Brownsville revival and some of the pastors were in it for the money only. But I truly believe this man Liindell Cooley is the only one left standing that had a pure heart. His music speaks to me this day.
Stephan Robin...thank you so much for your testimony!!!✝️ I don't know you but I'm proud of you!! Keep on sharing your testimony!! I have a similar past. I'm so thankful for being God's prodigal child!!!
I went to that Revival as a teen on fire for the Lord. We traveled from S. GA to go and I remember thinking that God's anointing was on Lindell. Where are revivals like this nowadays? You used to could find "Real" revivals all the time. You might have to drive an hour or two, but there was one to be found. It seems that we've lost that desire to have revival and that's why our Country is in the shape it is in right now... God we pray for revival in our land once again, through your Son Jesus name. AMEN!!
I made that trek from Ft Worth, TX to Florida during that revival! Our church owned a charter bus and that bus took several loads of hungry hearts over several weeks. We stood in line, outside the church, all day to get in! I'd never seen anything like it! A lot of people didn't get into the main sanctuary and were put in overflow rooms and watched the service on closed circuit TV's. That's where my group was the first night there. But God still showed up and moved! The second day we got there early in the morning and there was already a long line. We made it to the bancony that night! That night I saw the glory of God fill the room with a cloud... a literal cloud! I had never experienced anything like that then and to this day! We stayed in God's prescence until past 2a.m. and they started turning the lights out! Our group did not sleep that night, but found a Denney's that was open all night and stayed up talking about what God had done in our lives till morning! I can still hear, "I'm running to The Mercy Seat!"
Thank you for bringing back a memory I would surely have lost.. I hadn't even thought of Lindel K. Brownsville or of the week wore a church van out driving from Sylacauga Al.to Pensacola Fl. and back almost every day for two weeks. I remember now the nights they turned the lights out on us, and we found our way to that Dennys.. I remember prayer lines outside that church, and going out to witness to whoever we could find when we had to leave.... Hello again from Alabama
Creation Calls was the song that put me on my knees in Feb 1998. I was already saved. A few pastors invited me to go from NC to Pensacola. God spoke to me when we stopped at one of the beaches in Pensacola. Everything God spoke to me, came out during this tune. I have been a worship leader since. An anointing was imparted that night. Longer story where God gets ALLLLLL the glory. I will never be the same.
I went to the Brownsville revival for 7 years straight every time the doors were open I was there I saw many great miracles and lost souls won to jesus
I lived in Brownsville. I went to the Revival. Brownsville was a polite way of saying 'blacksville', originally on the outskirts of Pensacola, where the poor and colored folks lived. Not much has changed in Brownsville 25 years later...it's still drugs and hors and crime, and God's still there, with open arms, welcoming the broken and downtrodden and the ones desperate for Him. And He's still touching, still delivering, still blessing, still offering glorious freedom from the horrible shackles of sin. Miracles happen everyday, just return to your knees, humble yourself, and watch the indescribable love of Jesus flow in, healing, blessing, delivering, and transforming lives. Blessed be, His name Alone.
The Holy Spirit LOVES this music. 25 years ago Brownsville changed my life. I was one of those seeds that made it that Steve talked about. I was also one of the ones others thought was unsaveable. Then we came to praise him. This right here is how you steal young souls right out of the hand of satan.
I went back to Brownsville CDs since it has a real flavor of grace. Feel that today’s worship songs and bands are flavorless, too focused on having a nice music, nice lights, nice show. Where ´s God anointing? Too focused on preaching a gospel that will make you successful and rich... Time has come to repent and get back to Jesus with all our heart and strength. For me all I want is to spend time in Jesus presence, get closer to him all the rest is not important. I am not judging but so sad to see that 25 years ago was better. Let’s go back to the source : His presence. Be blessed friends.
Some of today's worship is depressing. There's too much "Woe is me" with no victory. We have victory in Jesus. We are more than conquerors through Him. Worship should bring joy and victory in our hearts. Worship should bring us into God's presence. There's something wrong with some of the worship music today. It's defeated and like you said focused on sounding cool with no real message or like we're at a concert.
I get on TH-cam and watch the Brooklyn Tabernacle sometimes. They don’t have the choir, which we all know and loved back in the day, but they have the BRooklyn Tabernacle singers, who are fantastic! They sing very worshipful music, much from years ago that we used to sing and get right into the presence of God! Yes, there’s so much music today that I feel is more entertainment…..however, being a former worship team member of a large church, I know that the Spirit really moves up on that stage. Can’t really pass judgment on the worship team, but I know many people struggle with being able to worship in spirit and in truth with the current music out there. Remember Alvin Slaughter and Ron Kenoli? Awesome worship, exciting, done WELL, so all involved on the team, orchestra and in the congregation could really worship and celebrate from the heart! How I miss that!!! I would move to New York if I could, just to attend that church and sense God’s presence on a regular basis again!
I was at Brownsville revival one night...guess it was close to midnight or so....Lindell had come off stage to pray for people....It was a casual setting people were just soaking in the Lord...I was facing the stage just standing in His Presence....and out of nowhere I felt this...power just pushing me like someone had their hand on the center of my back....and it started getting stronger and stronger till finally...I had to turn around and see what was going on.....It Was Lindell....about maybe 15ft behind me....we looked at each other and he said...YOU....And I said who Me? he said yes I need to pray for you...And I just went OH LORD cause I knew Jesus was fixing to do something incredible...That Night...among others changed my life...But this one in particular stands out....I woke up about a hour later....or I should say I was finally able to stand up...I felt so clean in that moment like all the bad things in my life had been washed away....Thank You Jesus....And Thank you Lindell for your service to our Lord.....And for helping to change my life....
I was so blessed to be able to attend the Brownsville Revival on 3 separate occasions but my most memorable was my first time, well mine and my sister's first and I just remember the very first service when we both stepped off the bus we were on and how strong the power of God was just in the parking lot and how strong it was getting with each moment that was passing. I remember that day before the service even started how powerful his presence was and it left me and my sister totally speechless. We literally could not talk no matter how much we tried we couldn't get any words out and the glory was so awesome that fell upon us that day. I want that again, I want to experience that awesome presence upon me again because in his presence I experienced such joy and peace and the most real love I have ever felt in my life. Lord send your winds of Revival upon America once more!!!
I remember the exact same sense of his presence literally stepping foot into the grounds in the parking lot and the whole time we were in line waiting for service it was SUCH anticipation!! And we were NOT disappointed!! I was 13 & 14 the years that I went, and it set the stage for my life, and planted the deep desire inside of me to want to live it out in pursuit of his presence!!
Brings me back to the years I played bass in our worship team...we played every one of these songs. Love them all. Brownsville impacted everyone in many different ways. It’s refreshing to hear and see Lindell worshiping.
My church we use the actual music we don't have musicians. Just singers I lead worship. Before I came to this church even the worship leader on guitar did these songs. I love these songs. ❤️🙂
My salvation came out of this revival. I have always cherished the Revival at Brownsville worship songs. This April, when the pandemic hit so hard, the Lord brought me back to to this album. It’s crazy how the Holy Spirit works! By August my husband became a pastor up here in Alabama,,,, and people in our congregation are coming to me with Words from God that I’ve been praying through the Revival at Brownsville worship songs. Praise God, and thank you!!!!!!!!
Yes, I was privileged to go several times. It was Amazing... Lindell has been part of history. Leading All of Us into a Deeper place of Worship, towards Our Savior. Thank You Lindell. Blessings.
Should never quit singing them. That doesn't mean you sing them every Sunday or even every month anymore but songs that were very meaningful to a whole generation should still appear periodically in the repertoire. You got to throw a bone to the main tithers once in awhile you know.
I was a 21 year old mother. I was not from the assembly of God faith. I didn't understand everything, but I knew God was there. I will never be the same again.
I have a Brownsville worship CD (Winds of Worship 12) that I listen to frequently and it never gets old. The anointing of God on true worship continues to burn bright! 🥰
I received healing for SYSTEMIC LUPUS at this revival at the New Jersey Meadowlands... in July of 2020. Received Medical confirmation of the healing in August of 2022... the same date of the onset of the disease 7 years before in 1993! SO MANY OF THESE details that ONLY GOD CAN ORCHESTRATE!!! I JUST CELEBRATED 21 YEARS OF BEING TOTALLY HEALED... At the onset of the illness, I was given 6 months to live. God intervened and provided me with the information I needed to turn that prognosis and together we did JUST THAT... I new before then and this confirmed it that I was not going to die from Lupus. When the 6 months were over... I was no longer dying... and had changed the prognosis medically. The stories of the healings over the next 7 years just kept coming... My faith was strong but it grew by leaps and bounds!
Ive been going back to listening to these songs. These songs are.powerful, todays worship just isnt the same, not that its all bad, i just feel something when i here these. I've made a play list of these songs from brownsville, and even old hillsong when darlene zschech was leading worship. I love it.
The sad thing is that Lindell had to say, "only two are dancing." Lindell still has the fire, but it seems that so much of his congregation is lifeless. Disappointing. I'm with you; I would be running and dancing during this song also.
I stood in line for a few hours 3x a week. Lindell, John Kilpatrick and Steve Hill (RIP you warrior for Christ !! ) injhtroduced me to Jesus in my life and I am forever grateful.
I was at Brownsville, we need another awaking in our land or we will be lost forever. The time is short. God is watching and waiting for us to fall on our knees and cry out to him.
I have the Brownsville Revival CD & it never gets old. I went to the revival 2 times, traveled 12 hours each way. It was an amazing experience. I hope the whole world awakens!
The singer for "Draw Me Close" loves the Lord. May God the Father reveal more of the Son to him. Of course, may God be glorified in all their lives, but my spirit enjoyed seeing that young man dance and worship.
I was touched by Lindell Cooley & the Brownsville Revival and I was ordained as a minister of the Gospel, 25 years after I last was at the Brownsville Revival (1997 went to the Revival and was ordained as a Minister of the Gospel in May 7th, 2022)
In those days it was a time that I began to go after GOD this RENEWAL caused a NEW Excitement that me to Recieve the HOLY SPIRIT and cause a deeper walk to come .
I lived there for 18 months during the Revival. I miss it so much that I couldn't even begin to tell you. Rushing winds blowing through the church. Seems like yesterday!!!
Thank you lindell for posting this. It bring back memories and renewed my spirit. I wish I could have been there. Dancing and praising God. Amen brother.
25 years ago when I first heard of the Brownsville Revival and their music it ignited my passion to play drums. That was the first time I heard that you can play creatively for God in music. Lindell Cooley has made an impact on my life.
I've have the blessing of hearing Lindell Cooley worship the Lord while he was with Perry Stone Ministry at Cleveland, TN. He is truly a man after God. May God use him again in the coming revival of this land.
My favorite song was sung at the alter call, Running to the Mercy Seat. I think that was the name. The video is on here. I believe the young ladies name is Charity. I was not able to go to Brownsville, but they came to out church in Ft. Worth, TX. Bethel Temple on Meadowbrook Drive. I sure miss that place and the people.
Bro Lindell, you are an amazing worship leader. I truly enjoy these Pentecostal songs especially when my spirit man is searching for the hope and peace of God! In these I find solace and peace in Gods love, praise be to God. Brother Lindell, that your best years are ahead of you yet. You are an angel from God sent from heaven to feed God’s people when they feel downtrodden and lowly which a lie of the devil. I pray you continue to strengthen Gods people through this anointed praise and worship! I’d like to meet you in person someday, but for now your songs will fortify my spirit and soul. God bless You! Wishing you Godspeed in all things, and pray that God be and remain your standard as you do spiritual warfare in the heavenly realm. You take care my Christian brother. Raul
Was just watching Brownsville Revival baptisms and testimonies yesterday and came across this today. Awesomeness. Praising God for your recent miracle in 2022.
I went to the Brownsville Revival against my will fighting my parents tooth and tail. Little did I know, that an encounter with God was awaiting me. He definitely marked my life that day and I've never been the same. He is worthy of Glory, Honor and Praise! 1:10 - Revival Fall 5:25 - The Happy Song 9:06 - Enemy's Camp 13:40 - Creation Calls 18:27 - I Need You More 21:37 - Hymn - No Not One 23:00 - Draw Me Close To You 25:13 - Desperate For you 27:50 - What A Powerful Name It Is
Praise God for songs of revival! I’m taking notes-I’m with the worship group at my church and we are experiencing revival! We need to add these songs to our “repertoire!”
Even that red scuffed up telecaster is anointed! I visited Brownsville revival in 1996 and stayed for a week. It was awesome! On the flight home I asked the LORD, ‘Was that real?’ I immediately began to weep. Then I’m thinking, ‘Oh no here comes the stewardess offering peanuts and when she get to me what’s she gonna think of my tears!?!?!’
My husband amd I worshipped with you when you wer first getting started. We were there with Sister Ann Baines and Cross Country World Missions. Wonderful days.😊❤
i grew in Calvary Temple (later changed to Calvary Family Worship Center) outside of RED BAY, AL. this is Lindell home church where his dad was Pastor. My mom and dad were really close friends with Lindell and i called His parents Maw Maw and Paw Paw Cooley! I miss the good ole days! i miss the good ole days while the revival was going on our church was doing these songs for praise and worship...Tony Hooper who later took over at Brownsville when Lindell left was our worship leader then.
I when to Brownsville after only be saved 1mo.& got baptized. Steve Hill was on fire every night. I learned a lot from him. Waiting in line all day from 6 am just in get in @6pm. God is good all the time!
I never made it to Pensacola. But the music sure lived in the churches I led. When Lindell said 25 years I shook my head in disbelief. It doesn't seem that long. So much of the "stuff" they are singing now is just that. Stuff. Like the stuff they put in Chinese plush animals. They'll put ANYTHING inside those things as long as the outside looks right. Oh that's a sermon right there. I'd better stop. Glad to see you doing well pastor. We met briefly in Toronto, but as I recall there was some sort of power outage or sound system failure at the conference.
Am I not waiting the Hopelesness: BUT waiting the most Graciousness from OurAlmighty Father, And AM l his beloved Douther, In Jesus Christ OUR Saviour 🙏 🙏 🙏
I think the call is the same today"oh God of Elijah hear our cry send the fire....make us fit to live or die ..send the fire again"nothing has changed ,but a whole generation grew up singing the songs of revival with a heart cold as stone as ever....time for the leaders to turn back...I think this is something that Steve would say
I was 10 years old and got saved at this revival. I went many times. After being a part of something this special from God, it's has been hard to appreciate church now.
Takes me back to the time when I used to play electric guitar in the church worship team.... Oh how I miss those good old day's.... Just want to thank sweet Jesus for everything
This brings back the Years of my life between 6 & 8. Long road trips to and from Louisiana and Florida and seeing God move on thousands over that time.
Thanks for uploading. Man, the anointing of The Holy Spirit is so strong, the moment the first song was played I can feel Him touching me. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of The Lord. Jesus is Lord! Shalom!
It is hard to put into words how this has impacted my life.... God has moved Mountains!! many of them! to God be the Glory ! Thank you Lindell for all you have done and still do to take us on this worship path. much Love to you my friend
In order to understand , you have to be there. I was there in 1997. It was awesome. God moved in a mighty way. Four days awesome presence of GOD. HOLY SPIRIT.
Wow so light the World much, thank 😊 u Lord you the yearly blessing for the fruitful and Harvesting the mostGlory the most Glorious from Heaven First, Pure, holy MERCY,OBEDIENCE without partiality and without hypoccricy;Amen
Brownsville was a part of our lives from the beginning-traveled there 4 times; bought all of their CDs, many of their video tapes and continue to sing their music at our fellowship often.
Oh hell can you not sing the song I brings down the glory of God and that causes us the fly on the wings of his word that you do sing his word the word is who he is and who we want to become amen thank you so much Lyndale Cooley
The youth pastor Richard Crisco (spelling?) would be on the other end of platform dancing his shoes off. Pastor Kilpatrick nicknamed him Twinkle-toe Crisco. Those were tg days.
Seems weird having to ask if it's ok to do songs from revival 20 years ago. Before that we sang the same songs for 20 years. They weren't changing every other month like they are now, even though we are getting some great worship songs today. The Lord loves to hear our songs over and over, it's us that gets bored. I lost Lindell when he went to podcasts. Then I heard the song 'I see The Lord' on another site today, and it made me want to check out Lindell and Grace Church again. Glad I did. God Bless You, great songs.
I was doing time at a Louisiana state prison back in 2004 for drugs. There was this Full Gospel church that would come in and play worship songs. The anointing on them was amazing! Just tuning up their instruments brought on the presence of God! Then they would begin playing "I See The Lord". I think that was the first time I began to know what true worship was about. I was on fire for Him from that point on. Fast forward to 2014, when I leave prison and transition to outside life. New pressures, job, bills, the busyness of getting back on my feet, etc. Focus on the Lord was getting crowded out and my love for Him grew cold. I was backslidden, not realizing the spiritual danger I was in. Was attending church out of obligation, and seeking Him with the few little gasps of breath I was breathing. Self-condemnation weighed heavy on me. Then one day in mid-2019 sitting in church weighed down as usual the Lord spoke something to me so very clearly. He said, "You have carried this heavy load long enough. Condemnation doesn't belong in the hands of any of My children, so let it go. From now on, you will be given joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. And I will restore what the locusts have eaten." A new fire was ignited. No more backsliding. Worship, praise, and passion all restored. It was an open heaven experience. Waters of Life began to flow again! Idols that I held onto were smashed, literally. Then I told the Lord, "I want to hear those old songs I heard when I first fell in love with You. He led me to "I See The Lord", by someone named Lindell Cooley who I never heard of. And he was part of a revival I've never heard about - the Brownsville revival. As I learned more about this revival, I learned about the then-upcoming September event hosted by the leaders of the Brownsville revival called Light The Fire Again 2019 at Pensacola Bay Arena. 10,000 worshippers for 4 days of heaven brought forth to earth. Worship so intense it seemed the entire building would dissolve away leaving only Jesus and all the holy angels in our midst singing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty! The fire has been burning ever since. I say all that just to highlight how God has used that song in my life. In my opinion, I See The Lord is one of the best worship songs ever written. For me, it speaks of the hunger of our souls that can only be fulfilled when Jesus becomes our vision. It also speaks of being brought to a place of repentance as the angels touch the coals of the altar to our lips. How our hearts find true rest as they behold NOTHING else but the Lord's glory!
I went to Brownsville while being abused by a religious family member... I was 13, I'm 33 now... the seed that was sown in my life back then is beginning to sprout and now I love the Word so much... I dont know what I would do without the holy spirit with me...hearing these songs brings me so much comfort because back then I wanted my life to end... and now everyday is beautiful. No stopping me now!
Praise God
So Beautiful, I'm overjoyed to hear that the abuse didn't keep you from the truth of God.
Amen Bro Praise God!❤️🙂
I know from experience Jesus makes one whole again, if you allow him to. Forgiving is key for you not them. I also know God svenges one. Especially if they won't repent of their sin. God our Heavenly father does not accept bullying his beloved children. Healed, delivered, set free by the power of the Blood of Jesus The Grace of the Cross., my prayer is that you recieve the fullness of his of his Grace and total healing spirit, souls, body in Jesus Christ name. The redeemer. Stay free it is your covenant right.
God bless you David, God's plans are always good, but the devil always wants to "Kill, Steal and Destroy." Thank you for sharing your comment.
I was a very shy drummer in our church that played like a mad man, but I just never really felt His Spirit. I was married to the Pastors daughter and was "forced" to go to the first service as a staff member of the church.
Lindell and Steve both laid hands on me in the front right alter. People were laying all around me. Slain or they were travailing.
I grew up in the Church of God so I had seen a lot of things by this time of my life.
When they laid hands on me, I did in fact go out. Never had happened to me before. After the service, I didn't feel much. I was my shy self as always.
Got back to Texas and our first service post going was that Sunday.
Music was going and done and then the preaching started. Still not much there... All of the sudden I was walking to the alter from the back of the church.
I don't remember really getting up, I was half way there when I realized i was going to go up on the platform. Didn't know why... Didn't know what I was gonna say if I did.
The pastor saw me hit the first step and he just handed me the mic and you know preachers don't just hand over mics...
Something was about to happen... I felt the Spirit that was imparted in me begin to speak. It wasn't my words.. I was merely along for the ride....
It was an altar call. I was mortified! I guess I had said what I had to say... And my last words were "Get Real".
People started flooding to the front and I was laying hands on people that I didn't even know. They were just going out just like in Brownsville... Wasn't me... I was just a vessel at that point.
We had a smaller version of the revival in Brownsville for about 2 years or so and they called it the "Get Real" revival.
After this revival... The devil did a number on me. I got into meth and heroin and sadly a divorce. I was running the streets and living under bridges and whatever dope house I could find.
I spent years in my addiction and years of going to jail and being on probation.
In 2009... I woke up on my birthday and said I was done. I have been sober from meth and heroin ever since.
I kept pleading Enemy's Camp until I could find a bed at rehab.
I got clean.
I started drinking as I moved addictions. Never too serious... A couple of drinks and laughing and jokes with the boys at the bar.
Since then, I have been completely restored within myself. I do admit I have a drink every now and again but that is getting fewer and farther between.
I have restored my name and integrity. I have a well paid job.
I fought the FBI and was able to restore my license to carry which was as hard as getting sober in a lot of ways....
I toured with a national country music artist and I have since helped to start an A/V company and travel all over the country doing shows.
This all goes back to Lindell.
I was drenched in boredom of the music of that era. It did not speak to my spirit.
Lindell's style, voice and song selection as well as his desire for perfection... Yet, brokenness in his music is what drew me in
I know he has gone through a lot these past few years and I wish I could visit his church while he is still going at it. Maybe one day.
You all be blessed and hopefully realize that this revival and it's music birthed a lot of soldiers for Christ.
Blessings.
I went to the Revival six times! My life will never be the same!!! We need more Lord!!! Send it to America now Lord! Please open up the heavens and send Revival again!!!
I went once and experienced the same. God is God.....alone! God is God in Christ and God is in the Holy Spirit, who can know Him? He is and was and is to come! Thank you Father for faithful servants who sing their hearts back to you! We were truly made to worship Him.....alone!
It's coming. in the meantime, keep interceding for revival, and to raise up leaders capable of hearing the Lord's voice and executing His will.
Revival first comes by repentance secondly seeking him with all your heart with all you got. Then you'll have revival like I heard Steve Hill say we need ministers to maintain revival not to control it.
I was a 25 year drug addict. God showed up to me in rehab. I was not looking for him. But he sure found me. I never did one step of the 12 steps. I came out of there 30 days later lost looking for this thing called Christ and a church. I bounced around from church the church looking for what God told me I was searching for. I stumbled across Brownsville revival. And the music. It’s save my life. I became a 911 medic after I came out of rehab. At 40 years old I went back to college. I’ve now been a medic for 20 years. Passed drug test after drug test 20 years running. And these song still play in my head to this day. You can say what you want about Brownsville revival and some of the pastors were in it for the money only. But I truly believe this man Liindell Cooley is the only one left standing that had a pure heart. His music speaks to me this day.
Stephan Robin...thank you so much for your testimony!!!✝️ I don't know you but I'm proud of you!! Keep on sharing your testimony!! I have a similar past. I'm so thankful for being God's prodigal child!!!
❤❤❤💙💙💙
Hallelujah! This testimony is beautiful, God bless you!
Love this testimony
I went to that Revival as a teen on fire for the Lord. We traveled from S. GA to go and I remember thinking that God's anointing was on Lindell. Where are revivals like this nowadays? You used to could find "Real" revivals all the time. You might have to drive an hour or two, but there was one to be found. It seems that we've lost that desire to have revival and that's why our Country is in the shape it is in right now... God we pray for revival in our land once again, through your Son Jesus name. AMEN!!
25 years ago Jesus changed my Life through Him and Brownsville.
May we remember and continue to seek What God's doing now.
I made that trek from Ft Worth, TX to Florida during that revival! Our church owned a charter bus and that bus took several loads of hungry hearts over several weeks.
We stood in line, outside the church, all day to get in! I'd never seen anything like it! A lot of people didn't get into the main sanctuary and were put in overflow rooms and watched the service on closed circuit TV's. That's where my group was the first night there. But God still showed up and moved!
The second day we got there early in the morning and there was already a long line. We made it to the bancony that night!
That night I saw the glory of God fill the room with a cloud... a literal cloud! I had never experienced anything like that then and to this day! We stayed in God's prescence until past 2a.m. and they started turning the lights out! Our group did not sleep that night, but found a Denney's that was open all night and stayed up talking about what God had done in our lives till morning!
I can still hear, "I'm running to The Mercy Seat!"
Thank you for bringing back a memory I would surely have lost.. I hadn't even thought of Lindel K. Brownsville or of the week wore a church van out driving from Sylacauga Al.to Pensacola Fl. and back almost every day for two weeks. I remember now the nights they turned the lights out on us, and we found our way to that Dennys..
I remember prayer lines outside that church, and going out to witness to whoever we could find when we had to leave....
Hello again from Alabama
❤ wish i had experienced that revival. Consider yourselves “lucky” .
I can just watch all those replays here on TH-cam .
Praying it will happen again!
@@gare1683 It is GOING to happen again AND VERY VERY SOON!!!
God is awesome then and now . Experience of that revival 7 times the long waits in line was always worth it .
Creation Calls was the song that put me on my knees in Feb 1998. I was already saved. A few pastors invited me to go from NC to Pensacola. God spoke to me when we stopped at one of the beaches in Pensacola. Everything God spoke to me, came out during this tune. I have been a worship leader since. An anointing was imparted that night. Longer story where God gets ALLLLLL the glory. I will never be the same.
I went to the Brownsville revival for 7 years straight every time the doors were open I was there I saw many great miracles and lost souls won to jesus
I lived in Brownsville. I went to the Revival. Brownsville was a polite way of saying 'blacksville', originally on the outskirts of Pensacola, where the poor and colored folks lived. Not much has changed in Brownsville 25 years later...it's still drugs and hors and crime, and God's still there, with open arms, welcoming the broken and downtrodden and the ones desperate for Him. And He's still touching, still delivering, still blessing, still offering glorious freedom from the horrible shackles of sin. Miracles happen everyday, just return to your knees, humble yourself, and watch the indescribable love of Jesus flow in, healing, blessing, delivering, and transforming lives.
Blessed be, His name Alone.

Wow, thanks for sharing.
The Holy Spirit LOVES this music. 25 years ago Brownsville changed my life. I was one of those seeds that made it that Steve talked about. I was also one of the ones others thought was unsaveable. Then we came to praise him. This right here is how you steal young souls right out of the hand of satan.
Yes!!!!!
I went back to Brownsville CDs since it has a real flavor of grace. Feel that today’s worship songs and bands are flavorless, too focused on having a nice music, nice lights, nice show. Where ´s God anointing? Too focused on preaching a gospel that will make you successful and rich... Time has come to repent and get back to Jesus with all our heart and strength. For me all I want is to spend time in Jesus presence, get closer to him all the rest is not important. I am not judging but so sad to see that 25 years ago was better. Let’s go back to the source : His presence. Be blessed friends.
Some of today's worship is depressing. There's too much "Woe is me" with no victory. We have victory in Jesus. We are more than conquerors through Him. Worship should bring joy and victory in our hearts. Worship should bring us into God's presence. There's something wrong with some of the worship music today. It's defeated and like you said focused on sounding cool with no real message or like we're at a concert.
I get on TH-cam and watch the Brooklyn Tabernacle sometimes. They don’t have the choir, which we all know and loved back in the day, but they have the
BRooklyn Tabernacle singers, who are fantastic! They sing very worshipful music, much from years ago that we used to sing and get right into the presence of God! Yes, there’s so much music today that I feel is more entertainment…..however, being a former worship team member of a large church, I know that the Spirit really moves up on that stage. Can’t really pass judgment on the worship team, but I know many people struggle with being able to worship in spirit and in truth with the current music out there. Remember Alvin Slaughter and Ron Kenoli? Awesome worship, exciting, done WELL, so all involved on the team, orchestra and in the congregation could really worship and celebrate from the heart! How I miss that!!! I would move to New York if I could, just to attend that church and sense God’s presence on a regular basis again!
I so agree!
Grew up in pcola, spent many Friday nights at the feet of the lord. The revival was real and lives on to this moment
I was at Brownsville revival one night...guess it was close to midnight or so....Lindell had come off stage to pray for people....It was a casual setting people were just soaking in the Lord...I was facing the stage just standing in His Presence....and out of nowhere I felt this...power just pushing me like someone had their hand on the center of my back....and it started getting stronger and stronger till finally...I had to turn around and see what was going on.....It Was Lindell....about maybe 15ft behind me....we looked at each other and he said...YOU....And I said who Me? he said yes I need to pray for you...And I just went OH LORD cause I knew Jesus was fixing to do something incredible...That Night...among others changed my life...But this one in particular stands out....I woke up about a hour later....or I should say I was finally able to stand up...I felt so clean in that moment like all the bad things in my life had been washed away....Thank You Jesus....And Thank you Lindell for your service to our Lord.....And for helping to change my life....
I was so blessed to be able to attend the Brownsville Revival on 3 separate occasions but my most memorable was my first time, well mine and my sister's first and I just remember the very first service when we both stepped off the bus we were on and how strong the power of God was just in the parking lot and how strong it was getting with each moment that was passing. I remember that day before the service even started how powerful his presence was and it left me and my sister totally speechless. We literally could not talk no matter how much we tried we couldn't get any words out and the glory was so awesome that fell upon us that day. I want that again, I want to experience that awesome presence upon me again because in his presence I experienced such joy and peace and the most real love I have ever felt in my life. Lord send your winds of Revival upon America once more!!!
I remember the exact same sense of his presence literally stepping foot into the grounds in the parking lot and the whole time we were in line waiting for service it was SUCH anticipation!! And we were NOT disappointed!! I was 13 & 14 the years that I went, and it set the stage for my life, and planted the deep desire inside of me to want to live it out in pursuit of his presence!!
Brings me back to the years I played bass in our worship team...we played every one of these songs. Love them all. Brownsville impacted everyone in many different ways. It’s refreshing to hear and see Lindell worshiping.
Yes, i played the drums in our worship team and played all these songs, i loved it. I miss these songs, the church needs these songs.
Don’t stop playing 🎸🙏👏 blessings
Keep playing brother!
My church we use the actual music we don't have musicians. Just singers I lead worship. Before I came to this church even the worship leader on guitar did these songs. I love these songs. ❤️🙂
Isn't this something!!
My salvation came out of this revival. I have always cherished the Revival at Brownsville worship songs. This April, when the pandemic hit so hard, the Lord brought me back to to this album. It’s crazy how the Holy Spirit works! By August my husband became a pastor up here in Alabama,,,, and people in our congregation are coming to me with Words from God that I’ve been praying through the Revival at Brownsville worship songs. Praise God, and thank you!!!!!!!!
This man was part of something very special. If he wants to sing these, you sing these.
He very well may be again.
Yes, I was privileged to go several times. It was Amazing... Lindell has been part of history. Leading All of Us into a Deeper place of Worship, towards Our Savior. Thank You Lindell. Blessings.
Should never quit singing them. That doesn't mean you sing them every Sunday or even every month anymore but songs that were very meaningful to a whole generation should still appear periodically in the repertoire. You got to throw a bone to the main tithers once in awhile you know.
That first “I need you more” hit me like a brick... almost had to pull over I was crying so hard
Love this
I was a 21 year old mother. I was not from the assembly of God faith. I didn't understand everything, but I knew God was there. I will never be the same again.
I have a Brownsville worship CD (Winds of Worship 12) that I listen to frequently and it never gets old. The anointing of God on true worship continues to burn bright! 🥰
Please upload
I had it too! Someone stole it from my car. I was so upset. It was my favorite CD.
@@joepublic5469 I haven't ever done that. Do you mind giving me some tips?
I received healing for SYSTEMIC LUPUS at this revival at the New Jersey Meadowlands... in July of 2020. Received Medical confirmation of the healing in August of 2022... the same date of the onset of the disease 7 years before in 1993! SO MANY OF THESE details that ONLY GOD CAN ORCHESTRATE!!! I JUST CELEBRATED 21 YEARS OF BEING TOTALLY HEALED... At the onset of the illness, I was given 6 months to live. God intervened and provided me with the information I needed to turn that prognosis and together we did JUST THAT... I new before then and this confirmed it that I was not going to die from Lupus. When the 6 months were over... I was no longer dying... and had changed the prognosis medically. The stories of the healings over the next 7 years just kept coming... My faith was strong but it grew by leaps and bounds!
Hallelujah, praise God for your awesome healing!!!!!1
Ive been going back to listening to these songs. These songs are.powerful, todays worship just isnt the same, not that its all bad, i just feel something when i here these. I've made a play list of these songs from brownsville, and even old hillsong when darlene zschech was leading worship. I love it.
Could you please share your playlist with me?
@@amaz-ing3376 sure
@@amaz-ing3376 send me your emali
I strait up would be running and dancing if I was in that congregation . Of course that is
the Pentecostal in me :)
The sad thing is that Lindell had to say, "only two are dancing." Lindell still has the fire, but it seems that so much of his congregation is lifeless. Disappointing. I'm with you; I would be running and dancing during this song also.
Me too! Praise the Lord!
Me too 🙂 I lead worship and I'd be jumping like the guy in the white shirt singing
I stood in line for a few hours 3x a week. Lindell, John Kilpatrick and Steve Hill (RIP you warrior for Christ !! ) injhtroduced me to Jesus in my life and I am forever grateful.
I was at Brownsville, we need another awaking in our land or we will be lost forever. The time is short. God is watching and waiting for us to fall on our knees and cry out to him.
31-05-2023 IT'S INEXPLICABLE WHAT I FEEL WHEN I HEAR THIS BLESSEDS PRAISES!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Having gone to the Brownsville Revival, hearing these songs stirs my spirit. God is Good
I have the Brownsville Revival CD & it never gets old. I went to the revival 2 times, traveled 12 hours each way. It was an amazing experience. I hope the whole world awakens!
AS We Lift up Your Name Lord...PLEASE let REVIVAL burn in us! May we each ignite everyone around us! 2020!
Praise you Lord! What a privilege it was to be a part of that revival!
Never go out of date, still my go to when I just want to feel the presence of God.
The singer for "Draw Me Close" loves the Lord. May God the Father reveal more of the Son to him. Of course, may God be glorified in all their lives, but my spirit enjoyed seeing that young man dance and worship.
I was touched by Lindell Cooley & the Brownsville Revival and I was ordained as a minister of the Gospel, 25 years after I last was at the Brownsville Revival (1997 went to the Revival and was ordained as a Minister of the Gospel in May 7th, 2022)
In those days it was a time that I began to go after GOD this RENEWAL caused a NEW Excitement that me to Recieve the HOLY SPIRIT and cause a deeper walk to come .
I lived there for 18 months during the Revival. I miss it so much that I couldn't even begin to tell you. Rushing winds blowing through the church. Seems like yesterday!!!
Thank you lindell for posting this. It bring back memories and renewed my spirit. I wish I could have been there. Dancing and praising God. Amen brother.
25 years later and God has kept this man in his calling... Grace!!
25 years ago when I first heard of the Brownsville Revival and their music it ignited my passion to play drums. That was the first time I heard that you can play creatively for God in music. Lindell Cooley has made an impact on my life.
I've have the blessing of hearing Lindell Cooley worship the Lord while he was with Perry Stone Ministry at Cleveland, TN. He is truly a man after God. May God use him again in the coming revival of this land.
Sing it bro....these songs let me express myself in Jesus when I was a new christian
My favorite song was sung at the alter call, Running to the Mercy Seat. I think that was the name. The video is on here. I believe the young ladies name is Charity. I was not able to go to Brownsville, but they came to out church in Ft. Worth, TX. Bethel Temple on Meadowbrook Drive. I sure miss that place and the people.
Holy Spirit brought me here tonite..attended Lakeland Revivals and attended Brownsville Revivals..GOD WINS..We are at the Precipice
Bro Lindell, you are an amazing worship leader. I truly enjoy these Pentecostal songs especially when my spirit man is searching for the hope and peace of God! In these I find solace and peace in Gods love, praise be to God. Brother Lindell, that your best years are ahead of you yet. You are an angel from God sent from heaven to feed God’s people when they feel downtrodden and lowly which a lie of the devil. I pray you continue to strengthen Gods people through this anointed praise and worship! I’d like to meet you in person someday, but for now your songs will fortify my spirit and soul. God bless You! Wishing you Godspeed in all things, and pray that God be and remain your standard as you do spiritual warfare in the heavenly realm. You take care my Christian brother. Raul
Oh, the memories!! His Presence still comes in this worship!! So awesome!!!
I was in the choir at the revival. Thanks for all these songs. I remember how powerful they were . Love it Lyndell
Was just watching Brownsville Revival baptisms and testimonies yesterday and came across this today. Awesomeness. Praising God for your recent miracle in 2022.
I went to the Brownsville Revival against my will fighting my parents tooth and tail.
Little did I know, that an encounter with God was awaiting me.
He definitely marked my life that day and I've never been the same.
He is worthy of Glory, Honor and Praise!

Praise God for songs of revival! I’m taking notes-I’m with the worship group at my church and we are experiencing revival! We need to add these songs to our “repertoire!”
Hey! That's Guy Penrod! Kind of different to see him on a regular worship team. Awesome!
And not trying to take center stage. Awesome. He is humble.
I was wondering if that was Guy Penrod. Wasn't sure. Wow this is great worship. How I miss those days.
Even that red scuffed up telecaster is anointed!
I visited Brownsville revival in 1996 and stayed for a week. It was awesome! On the flight home I asked the LORD, ‘Was that real?’ I immediately began to weep. Then I’m thinking, ‘Oh no here comes the stewardess offering peanuts and when she get to me what’s she gonna think of my tears!?!?!’
Wow. It must have been powerful!!!
My husband amd I worshipped with you when you wer first getting started. We were there with Sister Ann Baines and Cross Country World Missions. Wonderful days.😊❤
LOOK WHAT THE LORD HATH DONE FOR ME
We still sing the Brownsville songs in our church.
i grew in Calvary Temple (later changed to Calvary Family Worship Center) outside of RED BAY, AL. this is Lindell home church where his dad was Pastor. My mom and dad were really close friends with Lindell and i called His parents Maw Maw and Paw Paw Cooley! I miss the good ole days! i miss the good ole days while the revival was going on our church was doing these songs for praise and worship...Tony Hooper who later took over at Brownsville when Lindell left was our worship leader then.
This is a wonderful testimony & you have truly been blessed by the Lord. All Grace. - Kevin
I when to Brownsville after only be saved 1mo.& got baptized. Steve Hill was on fire every night. I learned a lot from him. Waiting in line all day from 6 am just in get in @6pm. God is good all the time!
I never made it to Pensacola. But the music sure lived in the churches I led. When Lindell said 25 years I shook my head in disbelief. It doesn't seem that long. So much of the "stuff" they are singing now is just that. Stuff. Like the stuff they put in Chinese plush animals. They'll put ANYTHING inside those things as long as the outside looks right. Oh that's a sermon right there. I'd better stop. Glad to see you doing well pastor. We met briefly in Toronto, but as I recall there was some sort of power outage or sound system failure at the conference.
Agreed. I really dislike most of the music they sing today.
Am I not waiting the Hopelesness: BUT waiting the most Graciousness from OurAlmighty Father, And AM l his beloved Douther,
In Jesus Christ OUR Saviour 🙏 🙏 🙏
I'm lost without you Jesus.
I think the call is the same today"oh God of Elijah hear our cry send the fire....make us fit to live or die ..send the fire again"nothing has changed ,but a whole generation grew up singing the songs of revival with a heart cold as stone as ever....time for the leaders to turn back...I think this is something that Steve would say
i met Pastor Cooley at Brownsville i was a young christian tremendous man of God !
I was 10 years old and got saved at this revival. I went many times. After being a part of something this special from God, it's has been hard to appreciate church now.
My son was in highschool when we moved to P'cola for the revival. Pray for him, he blames us to this day for ruining his life:(
@@paminhenan praying for your son
Takes me back to the time when I used to play electric guitar in the church worship team.... Oh how I miss those good old day's.... Just want to thank sweet Jesus for everything
Revival Fire Fall now on us for we need YOU Father God!! More than ever I ask in Jesus name. Amen.
This brings back the Years of my life between 6 & 8. Long road trips to and from Louisiana and Florida and seeing God move on thousands over that time.
Thanks for uploading. Man, the anointing of The Holy Spirit is so strong, the moment the first song was played I can feel Him touching me. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of The Lord. Jesus is Lord! Shalom!
Brother you still have a lot of singing ahead of you. You blessed us all.
I was blessed to be able to go, I knew nothing of what I was walking into. Glory to Jesus Mighty name.
It is hard to put into words how this has impacted my life.... God has moved Mountains!! many of them! to God be the Glory ! Thank you Lindell for all you have done and still do to take us on this worship path. much Love to you my friend
That was thegreatest thing I have ever come too and thank God for it
Glory thank you Jesus hallelujah
So wonderfully anoited , Thank you Lindell ... someday you'll know all the affect these songs have had on the world... Thank you.. !

Pastor Cooley lives what he preaches and sings!
He plays the piano with life
This is such a blessing to watch
Brownsville was a part of our lives from the beginning-traveled there 4 times; bought all of their CDs, many of their video tapes and continue to sing their music at our fellowship often.
@27:50 Angelic voice. WOW. God is good. Jesus Christ's Blessings to all.
Don't ever stop GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Where I am in Australia it is 23:15. Right now all I want to do is shout and dance HALLELUJAH!
I need you Lord.
I went to that it was best worship ever the spirit of God was there big times
Wow.. awesome days back in Pensacola
God bless you Lindell.
Yes!! Man!! The memories these songs hold!
Thank you for this beautiful medley of revival favorites!
I have the cd by Integrity Music back in the 90s, with songs from the Brownsville Revival! Used to play it all the time.. Praise God forever!!
Oh hell can you not sing the song I brings down the glory of God and that causes us the fly on the wings of his word that you do sing his word the word is who he is and who we want to become amen thank you so much Lyndale Cooley
The youth pastor Richard Crisco (spelling?) would be on the other end of platform dancing his shoes off. Pastor Kilpatrick nicknamed him Twinkle-toe Crisco. Those were tg days.
I Love💘 his music 🎶
Love this song, I've been singing it for awhile lately.
Seems weird having to ask if it's ok to do songs from revival 20 years ago. Before that we sang the same songs for 20 years. They weren't changing every other month like they are now, even though we are getting some great worship songs today. The Lord loves to hear our songs over and over, it's us that gets bored. I lost Lindell when he went to podcasts. Then I heard the song 'I see The Lord' on another site today, and it made me want to check out Lindell and Grace Church again. Glad I did. God Bless You, great songs.
I was doing time at a Louisiana state prison back in 2004 for drugs. There was this Full Gospel church that would come in and play worship songs. The anointing on them was amazing! Just tuning up their instruments brought on the presence of God! Then they would begin playing "I See The Lord". I think that was the first time I began to know what true worship was about. I was on fire for Him from that point on. Fast forward to 2014, when I leave prison and transition to outside life. New pressures, job, bills, the busyness of getting back on my feet, etc. Focus on the Lord was getting crowded out and my love for Him grew cold. I was backslidden, not realizing the spiritual danger I was in. Was attending church out of obligation, and seeking Him with the few little gasps of breath I was breathing. Self-condemnation weighed heavy on me. Then one day in mid-2019 sitting in church weighed down as usual the Lord spoke something to me so very clearly. He said, "You have carried this heavy load long enough. Condemnation doesn't belong in the hands of any of My children, so let it go. From now on, you will be given joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. And I will restore what the locusts have eaten." A new fire was ignited. No more backsliding. Worship, praise, and passion all restored. It was an open heaven experience. Waters of Life began to flow again! Idols that I held onto were smashed, literally. Then I told the Lord, "I want to hear those old songs I heard when I first fell in love with You. He led me to "I See The Lord", by someone named Lindell Cooley who I never heard of. And he was part of a revival I've never heard about - the Brownsville revival. As I learned more about this revival, I learned about the then-upcoming September event hosted by the leaders of the Brownsville revival called Light The Fire Again 2019 at Pensacola Bay Arena. 10,000 worshippers for 4 days of heaven brought forth to earth. Worship so intense it seemed the entire building would dissolve away leaving only Jesus and all the holy angels in our midst singing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty! The fire has been burning ever since.
I say all that just to highlight how God has used that song in my life. In my opinion, I See The Lord is one of the best worship songs ever written. For me, it speaks of the hunger of our souls that can only be fulfilled when Jesus becomes our vision. It also speaks of being brought to a place of repentance as the angels touch the coals of the altar to our lips. How our hearts find true rest as they behold NOTHING else but the Lord's glory!
