James A. Stewart
James A. Stewart (July 13, 1910 – July 11, 1975) was a Scottish-American preacher, missionary, and evangelist whose calling from God ignited revivals across Europe and North America, proclaiming the gospel with fervor for over six decades. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, to John Stewart and Agnes Jamieson, both Irish immigrants who met in Scotland, he was the third of six children in a devout Christian family. Converted at age 14 in 1924 during a Sunday school class that left him trembling under conviction, he began preaching that year on Glasgow’s streets, later refining his ministry through practical experience rather than formal theological education, despite an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Bob Jones University in 1960. Stewart’s calling from God unfolded in 1928 when he founded the Border Movement in England, preaching at age 18 with the London Open-Air Mission, and by 1933, he launched the European Evangelistic Crusades, targeting war-torn nations like Czechoslovakia, Latvia, and Poland. Ordained informally through his early street ministry, he became the first Free World preacher behind the Iron Curtain in 1945, organizing relief and preaching amidst post-war devastation. Settling in Asheville, North Carolina, in 1948, he founded Revival Literature and wrote over 30 books, including The Phenomena of Pentecost (1960) and Evangelism Without Apology, while broadcasting on Radio Luxembourg (1949–1959). His sermons called for repentance and revival, often breaking down in tears. Married to Ruth McCracken in 1936, with three children—Sheila, James, and Sharon—he passed away at age 64 in Asheville.

It also discusses the tragedy of the minority of overcomers among the seven churches in Asia, portraying God as hurt and withdrawing due to the grief caused by sin and lack of love.
Sermon Transcription
There are many people in the sight of the Lord. It's the children of Israel. They've done the sins which have come upon them. They've changed the strongholds. But the Amalekites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them. The moment you sin as a believer, you're going to be judged. Jesus Christ repents of your sins. The churches repent. There's so many congregations. The tragedy of the seven churches in Asia was that the overcomers were in the minority. And all I want to tell you is that God is well. He's hurt. He's a man. He will withdraw himself. You see, some are speaking on that the wife is not speaking, or the child is not speaking. Once somebody's been hurt, somebody's been grieved. It's not that they're not angry. They're grieved. Why? Why? Because, you see, their love got passed, and they're an empty house now. And if I leave my wife, she's hurt with an empty house in the garden. I'd say, Marieta, and... Will you notice, first of all, that I had to do two things before the Spirit of God came upon me. You had to deliberately and deftly destroy the antediluvian which is found in the earth. And I suggest to you tonight, before the Spirit of God will come upon you, before you or no one comes, there's an outlet secretive in your heart of life. You, have you doubted the sin before the death of the child of Jesus? In the place of the altar of God, you do so. What happened to that? A synagogue. You talk about the Holy Ghost. What's the meaning of that? You, with a loving, heavenly mind, glory be to God, never would have loved the Spirit of God.
