I praise God for the Blood of Jesus that washed my sins away. I am so thankful God convicted my heart of sin when I was going the downward way. I had lived a pretty good moral life, but that would not take me to Heaven. I am so glad the Light came to shine across my pathway.
My family received an Apostolic Faith paper in a scrap bundle of newspapers. As we read it, the truth registered in our hearts. It was a light to us.
In 1925, there was an evangelistic service being held back in Minnesota Lake, Minnesota. That night after the message went forth conviction gripped my heart. I went down to the altar and cried out to God for mercy, and He saved my unworthy soul. He forgave me and took me out of sin—He rolled that burden right off my heart. I knew the work was done; no one could talk me out of it.
Then the ministers prayed for me because I was afflicted with gangrene. The doctors had given me only two days to live. They anointed me with oil in the Name of the Lord, and He raised me up. Immediately afterward, I walked twenty blocks without my crutches.
Later God sanctified my soul and baptized me with the Holy Ghost and fire. I praise God with all my heart for His mercy that was extended to me.
