Jesus Is Coming

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

The story was taken from the book called, "The Azusa Street Papers," by William J. Seymour in 1906.

Sister Anna Hall, who came here from Houston, Texas, In response to the call of God, is now assisting in Los Angeles.  The Lord let her into the Pentecostal baptism and gift of tongues without her hearing the truth except from the Word.  She related the following wonderful vision and revelation.

A few weeks ago, as we were in our camp meeting, The first night we called our altar service there were a hundred at the outer seeking God,. And a strange power came into my being that I had felt once before when God wanted to reveal something to me.  I have learned that it pays to be quiet before the Lord. I went home to my daughter's house and prepared for bed.  Just as the gray dog began to appear, I waked as if someone had touched my shoulder, and felt the same power.  I heard the beautiful warbling of a bird, And thought it was a mockingbird which one might hear there. But no, it seemed a way down in my soul.  And as that beautiful bird began to sing, I saw a little infant face right before my eyes.  It has the song of the bird began to ripple, it began to sound like water running over pebbles.  It increased till it sounded like many waters, and the face enlarged till it was a full-grown face.  I said, "surely this is a messenger from the Holy country.". The voice answered, "Yes and I have come to tell you that Jesus is coming.  Go forward in my name, preach the Gospel of the kingdom, for the king's business demands haste.  My people have only time to get on the beautiful garments, and prepare for the wedding supper in the Heavens.". Dear ones, have you got on the beautiful robes of righteousness?  I said, "Lord, reveal unto me what this means, the singing of the bird and rippling of the waters.". And God spoke to me, "The singing of the beautiful bird and the baby face was the proclamation of the first coming into the world; then the voice of many waters is a proclamation of Jesus Christ that is soon coming."

Repent and believe the Gospel, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
