Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
This is a true testimony, told at the Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles, California in 1906. It was published by William j Seymour in his book, "The Azusa Street Papers," in 1906.
About 28 years ago, I went into a meeting to break it up, And the Lord broke me up. My conversion I never could doubt. I was called to preach and refused, and went on for a number of years trying to get away from the call. Finally I obey the Lord, and started in to work for Him, but not to preach. The Lord sanctified my soul. Did I commence to try to preach. About two years after, The Lord appeared to me in a dream. He's so filled me with His Spirit that people were not able to stand up before me, for a time. A few days after, He told me to give up my business, And make my wants known to Him, and not to man. I obeyed. The Lord supplied my every need, and was with me in revival meetings and in healing many that I prayed for. But heard of people receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking with tongues. I came to Los Angeles to investigate, and found it was a fact, and earnestly commence to seek the Lord for the baptism with the Holy Ghost. And the Lord, Knowing my heart, Came and took possession of me and spoke with my tongue. I want to say to every person, test God and you will never deny the baptism with the Holy Ghost.
