Embryo Revival: Chicago" Revival In Crystal Lake, Illinois
February 25, 2002
From: "Richard M. Riss"
The revival in Crystal Lake is called the "Chicago Revival" even though we are 50 miles northwest of downtown Chicago! (Despite the distance, Crystal Lake is considered a suburb of Chicago.)
The man behind the revival is Edgar Baille (pronounced "BAY-LEE" ) of Elgin, Illinois. Edgar is an evangelist and an ordained minister. But most importantly, he has a very powerful healing anointing. Edgar is very much aware of the legacy of Alexander Dowie and John G. Lake in the area, and he feels called to use his healing anointing to evangelize the Chicago area.
Miraculous healings have occurred in this revival, and we all expect them to continue and even increase in number. Two people I know very well have received healing through Edgar; one man who had such a bad case of carpal tunnel syndrome in his right hand he had to use his left hand most of the time, and a woman who has had years of deliberating back problems. Both were healed instantly and completely!
I'm just now getting ready to start recording the miracles that have happened, and those that will be happening in the future. Of course there is more than just divine healing happening in this revival; people are receiving the anointing of the Holy Spirit in a variety of ways, and there are those who are coming to know Jesus for the very first time. But the main theme of this revival is definitely divine healing.
The revival is currently being held at Christian Fellowship Church of Crystal Lake. It meets once a week on Saturday nights starting at 7:00 pm. It goes on as long as there are people to be prayed for. As far as anybody knows, it will continue to meet at Christian Fellowship until the LORD moves it elsewhere. Edgar is definitely in this for the long haul, and has no plans to stop preaching anytime soon! He really wants to see a revival sweep through all of Chicago and the suburbs, and is willing to to let the LORD use him in whatever way he can to accomplish this mission.
This past Saturday, I would estimate that there were approximately 200 people in attendance. The church can definitely hold a lot more! But when I went to this revival for the first time four weeks ago, there were only about 100 people in attendance. So it is growing.
