Arrested For Jesus' Sake

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This was a story as recorded by William J. Seymour in his book called, "The Azusa Street Papers," printed in 1906.


A brother who has been baptized with the Holy Ghost was arrested on account of the disturbance which the preaching of the gospel created among the people who crowded about the tent in Pasadena. Has he stood to answer the accusation of disturbing the peace, another brother says he saw an angel standing by his side.  He was released.  The Lord has been doing great things in that place and we expect greater things.


Some workers were preaching on the street corner in Los Angeles and a poor drunkard had just been saved, when a policeman came up and ordered them to stop, it took two of them off to jail. The sister saying all the way to the jail and shouted and prayed while they were there.  They soon were anxious to get rid of them and let them go.  Meantime the other workers return to the mission and told how the workers had been arrested and they all went to the altar and prayed and arose praising God; And soon and walked the ones who had been arrested.  We are ready not only to go to prison, but to give our lives for Jesus.
