Special Guest- Roberts Liardon By Robert Pears (Pure Heart Ministries Production) Maria was a spiritual pioneer who crisscrossed America preaching the Gospel, healing the sick and either strengthening or starting new churches. She was a voice and champion for women in ministry, made a powerful stand against slavery and sought out the poor and disadvantaged. Maria was used as a modern John the Baptist heralding the coming of the 20th century Pentecostal Movement. a Maria Etter traveled across America, turning it upside down with powerful demonstrations of the Holy Spirit. Using just a tent and her voice and trusting the Holy Spirit, she drew huge crowds and saw revivals throughout the nation. Her ministry lasted for over forty years (1880-1924). As one journalist put it… “By some supernatural power she just knocks them silly when they are not looking for it, and while they are down she applies the hydraulic pressure and pumps the grace of God into them by the bucketful.” As we look at this time in history, America had seen the Third Great Awakening followed by the Civil War. Biblical foundations were being challenged through rational thought and Darwinism. The Bible was no longer seen as the infallible truth, but just opinion. Stotts said regarding the ministry of Maria… “The Christ she preached represented for man as absolute in a period of American history when science and technology, Darwinism, and higher criticism were all eroding the foundation of biblical absolutism. The common man found in her services a reaffirmation of the Bible as absolute.” She was truly a spiritual pioneer who lived in a period when many believers were seeking to walk in Biblical holiness and needed empowering from God to help them fulfill the great commission. Maria was born for such a time and pushed the boundaries of what was known about the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the ministry and power of the Holy Spirit. Many years before Topeka or Azusa Street, Maria was introducing the world to Pentecostalism. Even to this day, her ministry was perhaps marked with some of the greatest demonstrations of the Holy Spirit we have ever seen Like Dowie, Maria belonged to the Holiness Movement and while Dowie would operate in the healing ministry a few years before Maria (Dowie 1882, Maria 1885), Maria would have a Pentecostal ministry, years before the Azusa Street Revival. She was clearly a front runner and opened the doors to Pentecostalism. Her ministry saw perhaps hundreds of thousands come to know the Lord. American church historian, Grant Wacker described Maria as “the most prominent healing evangelist of the era and that no one commanded greater awe in Pentecostal circles.”3 Historian Edith Blumhofer said that she pioneered the salvation-healing meetings that “later Pentecostals imitated.” 4 Yet another historian, Carl Brumback, said of her, ‘Looking just like your grandmother, but who exercised tremendous spiritual authority over sin, disease, and demons.” Maria would also be a pioneer who broke the male dominated Christian pulpit and helped many women step up to the plate and serve in ministry.
