Ask What Ye Will

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This is a story told by William J Seymour in his newsletter from the Azusa Street Mission, in 1906.


Sister Ella Judy, a teacher in the Blind School of Columbus, Ohio, came to Los Angeles for her summer vacation.  She dropped in the Azusa Street Mission soon after her arrival, and felt that God was there.  She had been a great sufferer from insomnia and other troubles and was a very hungry soul.  In the past she had felt that the Lord gave her the promise that she should be one of His bride.  He had said to her, "Ask what ye will," and she had answered:. "Thy will be done.". Then what joy it was for Him to choose so great a gift for her.  Afterward her faith failed, but God was true.


About an hour before the train left Los Angeles on which she was to go, the Lord, in the little upper room at the mission, graciously baptized her with the Holy Ghost and gave her the Bible evidence. She could not speak to English language for some time. It was taken away and she spoke the language of the Spirit, pointing those about her to Jesus. It was a heavily spot. Her sister was sealed as one of the bride and she was very happy. We expect to see her back in Los Angeles. The Lord has called her to His work. He has used her in winning souls in the past, And now that she has the Pentecostal enduement, we expect her to be much more used to the Lord.
