Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
This was a testimony of an old lady in California about her receiving gift for the Holy Ghost many years ago. It was recorded in the newsletter of the Azusa Street Mission, in Los Angeles, California in November of 1906.
Sister Malone went to Redlands as a worker from Los Angeles. In a meeting there, an old lady of eighty-six years of age came in. S*** not been taught of man about the Pentecost, but arose then testified that years ago she took her Bible alone and said, "Lord, led me." And they gave her the baptism with the Holy Ghost and the gift of tongues.
Sister Malone asked, "can you speak what comes?" And immediately she began to speak with tongues as the Spirit gave utterance and to interpret. This is no new thing. It was begun on the day of Pentecost, but has been hidden for centuries except here and there as some humble soul has been taught of God and received his Word without question.
