Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Here are some stories about Christians living in faith, in California, at the turn of the 20th century. Written by William J. Seymour in his book called, "The Azusa Street Papers," in 1906.
There are a dozen or more Christian workers who are devoting their time to the salvation of souls, haven't been called of God from other lines of appointment to devote their time and praying with the sick, preaching, working with souls at the alter, etc. We believe in the faith line for Christian workers, And no collections are taken, during the four months, meetings have been running constantly, And yet with working day and night and without purse or scrip, the workers have all been kept well and provided with food and raiment. Workers who have received calls to foreign lands are going out, The Lord providing the means with no needs being presented. The ones that give, give as the Lord speaks to them and do not want their names mentioned. It is a poor time in these last days to hoard up treasures on earth. When the Lord speaks, it is a blessing to those who obey Him, but we covered no man's gold, nor silver, nor apparel.
A sister who was called to Oakland had her faith tested as to her fare, That's the time was near and she had not received it. That night she was caught away in the Spirit And when the Lord brought her back, The words came to her, "if I can carry you around Los Angeles without a body, I can take you to Oakland without a fare." So that day she received the money.
