Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
This is a testimony by a Spanish speaking husband and wife, that was given by William J. Seymour, in his newsletter from the Azusa Street Mission in 1906.
There are a good many Spanish-speaking people in Los Angeles. The Lord has been giving the language, And now a Spanish preacher, with his wife, are preaching the Gospel and open-air meetings on the plaza have received their Pentecost. They are very happy, when God is using them. The following is their testimony from Los Angeles, California, on September 14th 1906.
We testify to the power of the Holy Spirit and forgiveness, sanctification, And the baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire. We give thanks to God for this wonderful gift which we have received from Him, recording to the promise. Thanks be to God for the spirit which brought us to the Azusa Street Mission, The Apostolic Faith, old time religion, I and my wife, on the 29th of last May.
I came for sanctification, and thank God also for the baptism with the Holy Ghost and fire which I received on the 5th of June, 1906. We cannot express the gratitude and Thanksgiving which we feel moment by moment for what He has done for us, so we want to be used for the salvation and healing of both soul and body. I am a witness of his wonderful promise and marvelous miracles by the Holy Ghost, By faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. May God bless you all.
Signed, Abundio L. Lopez and Wife, Rosa de Lopez.
