In days
when children get old all too soon it is pleasant to some of us to meet with
young people who are natural. Gertie is an unaffected schoolgirl, who hopes
one day to be a teacher. |
|
She gave
her heart to Jesus in our meetings a few months ago. She could not get to
many meetings, and so it was one Sunday night after Service in a
Prayer-meeting in our large vestry that the Lord lovingly met her and
mightily filled her with His Holy Spirit. We were all overcome with joy when
she in Tongues and in the Spirit, in English, triumphantly assured the Writer
that she had got her “Pentecost.” We all knew it, and we all were equally
sure it was so, that the Lord had come to His Temple. Her joy was shared by
all. We shall never forget it. There was our mouth filled with laughter and
our tongue with joy. |
|
Not many
days after, a dear sister of hers seemed to be dying. The doctor said, “She
is done, syncope will set in.” She had had dreadful haemorrhage for some five
days. But a message came to Spirit-filled Gertie. The Lord took her up into
her sister’s room, and she laid upon her her hands, vibrating with power, and
she spoke in the Spirit the message: “Jesus has cured you, Jesus has cured
you.” |
|
It was not
many days before the sister, who, from the human point of view, was “done,”
might be seen sitting up, and then, later, going out, and now is taking long
walks nearly every day. The Lord worked a miracle indeed, for which we praise
Him. Gertie received her “Pentecost” just in time to be a channel of blessing
to her sister. |
|
A very
practical result of the coming of the Latter Rain in our midst. |
