The Present State of the Lord’s Testimony (Part 3)

What happens when a man stops trying to protect his work and surrenders it completely to the cross? In this reflection, Gene Edwards recounts the pivotal moments that birthed a movement of believers seeking intimacy with Jesus. He shares the story of a message at UCLA that “stopped people cold,” born from a moment of fear and absolute dependence on God. Gene Edwards invites us into a private prayer on a vacant lot, where he surrendered the work entirely, asking God to let it die if it was not His will. Through years of “fire,” he illustrates a life built on the foundation of Christ without ever fighting to defend his own efforts. This is a sincere call to a union with Jesus that can never be broken.
