An English
missionary tell in the Elim Evangel
the following incident in connection with the war in Manchuria: ‘In their
invasion of China, the Japanese troops came to a mission station where there
were a number of devout people, some of whom were rejoicing in the
Pentecostal experience. The native Christians had barricaded themselves in
their compound and soon there was a loud knocking on the gates as one of the
Japanese officers sought immediate admission, calling upon them to open the
door before they burst it in. Eventually the door was burst open, and in
rushed the Japanese soldiers taking hold first of one of the company of
Chinese, a native evangelist. He was about to kill him when the man burst
into an utterance in tongues in the power of the Spirit. The soldier stopped
and after a moment or two said: ‘Why did you not tell me there were Japanese
here?’ He was told there were no Japanese in the compound, but he insisted
that there were Japanese, and said this man had just told him in Japanese
that if any harm were done to the compound or its inhabitants the judgment of
God would fall upon him and his fellow soldiers. As a result of that incident
none of the believers in the compound were harmed, and shortly afterward a
revival broke out among the Chinese in the district and many were brought to
Christ. |
