in the Power of the Holy Spirit”</b></font></p>

<font size="3">After two or three weeks of the Lord's dealing with
them, nearly all the children wanted to preach, even the young ones.
There was some real preaching in the power and demonstration of the
Holy Spirit. Some of both the younger and older boys hardly seemed
like our boys when they preached under the real unction of the Holy
Spirit, not timidly and apologetically as before, but as having
authority. Hell and heaven, the devil and his power, Christ, His
blood, and His salvation, were no myths to these boys. They knew the
Lord told them to preach, and they were given the message, <b>“Repent,
for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.”</b> As we listened to some
of these messages preached with great assurance, warning people to
flee from the wrath to come and showing them the wonderful salvation
in the love of Christ, our hearts rejoiced within us. When the Power
of God was especially great in our midst there was some unusually
miraculous preaching.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">At the Chinese New Year, when the streets were filled
with all classes of people out for a holiday, we Adullam people,
having circulated thousands of tracts, formed a circle on the street
to preach the gospel.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">One of the older boys had prepared a sermon on a New
Year theme. But when the preaching began, the power of God so fell
that this boy suddenly began speaking in other tongues, while another
person interpreted. One small boy after another preached as
interpreter. As soon as the Lord was through with one interpreter he
would step back and another feel the unction to preach. As soon as
this one stepped into the circle he would get the interpretation.
This went on for an hour or two while as many people listened as
could get near enough to hear. There were some people of the type
that seldom listen to the gospel who now listened most attentively as
these boys spoke with an earnestness that must have seemed strange
and unusual. As we came away from that service conducted by the Holy
Spirit in such order and beauty, each preacher being of the Lord's
appointment, each one speaking the message from Him under direct
inspiration, we could but ponder in our hearts at these wonders of
God. We seemed to see something of what the preaching of the church
was in the beginning, and what it seemed so clear the Lord wanted it
to be in the end.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">Not that preaching through other tongues and
interpretation was in the beginning or subsequently to be the
<b>regular</b> order of preaching, but as 1 Corinthians chapter 14
clearly shows, such preaching constitutes a <b>part</b> of the Lord's
method of preaching the Gospel in the power and demonstration of the
Holy Spirit.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">In such preaching the mind of the speaker is entirely
inactive, and before utterance he does not know what words the Spirit
will speak through his lips. This is pure prophetic preaching.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">In the preaching of the gospel to the nations of the
earth and in the building up of believers in the church the mind of
the speaker may be active and know, at least momentarily, before
utterance what the Spirit will speak through him. The message may be
an exposition of the Scriptures, as in the sermon by Stephen, or
otherwise. Peter on various occasions <b>“being filled with the
Holy Spirit preached as the Spirit gave him utterance.”</b></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">Although preaching the gospel under the direct unction
of the Holy Spirit is not exactly pure prophecy, it is, nevertheless,
prophetic when definitely guided and directed by the Holy Spirit.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">There were a few other instances of preaching with
tongues and interpretation in some of the villages.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">The Lord was the preacher on several occasions in our
little street chapel. For two or three nights the youthful preachers,
under the real unction of the Spirit, preached the most inspiring
sermons I have ever heard from Chinese evangelists. It seemed as if
those sermons would stir any one to real repentance. God showed his
love in still greater power a few nights later. When a boy in his
teens was preaching with real power his eyes suddenly closed and he
began to </font>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">under direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit in pure
prophecy. The manner of the preacher suddenly changed; the form of
the Chinese sentences became rhythmic and perfect; the address
changed to the first person, such as, <b>“I am the Lord God
Almighty, the one true God, who made all things, who now speaks to
you through this boy.” “Against me have you sinned.”</b> The
penetrating words, the sense of having been ushered into the presence
of God, I cannot describe. The seats of our little chapel were soon
filled, while as many people as could see gathered about the door,
listening in awe and wonder. If there was the least commotion the
Lord commanded order, speaking through that boy and saying, <b>“Make
no mistake in this matter. Listen carefully and understand. I, the
Lord God, have all the authority in heaven and on earth. To me every
man and every demon must give account. I know all about every one of
you. I know all your sins. I know how many hairs are on your head.
There are fifty-six of you living in sin here tonight. Repent
tonight, and I'll forgive you.” </b>For half an hour or more we
verily were in the presence of a prophet, as the Lord in this way
rebuked those people for idolatry, ungodliness, and all their vices,
until there was no ground for hope left anywhere. Then, as in the
case of the Old Testament prophets, God spoke of the glories He had
prepared for His people. Like a loving father he pleaded with them to
repent that night. He spoke of the coming of distress upon the
nations and of the destruction of this ungodly race in the day of
God's wrath. All these things were repeated several times with
exhortations to listen to every word as from a God who would hold
every person present accountable for his own soul after that night.</font></p>

<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">When the prophecy was finished the boy sat down. There
was not a move or a whisper. It seemed to me that every person must
know that God was speaking. Nearly all present had come in while the
boy's eyes were shut. When the Lord spoke saying there were
fifty-six present bound by the devil and sin, one of the boys
carefully counted those not of our own Christian boys. There were
just fifty-six.</font></p>

saw the Lord prove His word. Had we space to give details, we could
prove beyond any other possible explanation that actual living demons
were cast out of one devil-possessed man. It would take too long to
give the history of this man. We had known him a number of years, and
he has been with us six months. In short, he had been, for many
years, the victim of melancholy. Because he was so bound in chains of
darkness that he was ready to take his own life we had kept him with
us to prevent this. He was always sad. All effort to lead him to any
knowledge of salvation through Christ was of no avail. His mind was
blind to everything pertaining to the blood.</span></font></p>

the demon after he came out, rushing about in great anger, seeking
whom he might enter or tear. </span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>“And
one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto you my
son, who has a </b></span><u><b>dumb spirit</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>,
and whenever it takes him, it </b></span><u><b>dashes him down</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>;
and he foams, and grinds his teeth, and pines away; and he answered
... Bring him up to me: And they brought him unto him: and when he
saw him, straightway </b></span><u><b>the spirit tore him</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
grievously, and </b></span><u><b>he fell on the ground, and wallowed</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
foaming ... Ofttimes it has cast him both into the fire and into the
water to destroy him. And when Jesus saw that a multitude came
running together, he rebuked </b></span><u><b>the unclean spirit</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>,
saying unto him, You dumb and deaf </b></span><u><b>spirit</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>.
I command you, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And
having cried out, and </b></span><u><b>torn him much</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>,
he came out; and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more
part said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him
up; and he arose.” Mark 9:17-27.</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">
All the children having rushed in from where they had just sat down
to their meal, stood about with uplifted hands, thanking and praising
Jesus. Among these the demon saw no opportunity, for they were all
looking to Jesus whose blood covered them. The school teacher, who
was not truly converted, also came in and was looking on in curiosity
but was not praying. The angry demon, seeing his opportunity, seized
this man and threw him to the floor with a thud. There the second
demon sat upon him, so that the teacher could not rise. Several
children saw this. Our gardener, who was some years ago miraculously
delivered from opium, saw this too. He was suddenly filled with the
Holy Spirit and cast the demon out of the room.</span></font></p>

<font size="3"><span style="text-decoration: none;">I saw only the two
men, the one unbound and set free, the other suddenly fall beside
him. I supposed the school teacher was prostrated by the Holy Spirit
of God that was present in great power. I questioned him when he was
able to arise as to why he wept and why he fell. He said, </span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>“I
wept from sheer terror. Something awful happened. Everything became
black; I saw myself about to go into a black pit at the base of a
terrible mountain.”</b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">
When on the floor, he saw himself being bound by demon chains and
about to be carried off into terrorizing darkness, but he was set
free again.</span></font></p>

cast out changed at once. He testified that he had peace and joy in
his heart. He was given a vision of heaven at the time he was
delivered from demons. When he lay in bed in the evening thinking
about the Lord, he got so happy that he wondered if it was right for
him to have such great joy.</font></p>
