In Muki, India, a missionary, Pandita
Ramabai, was praying with a band of
Hindu girls. They had spent days and
nights in prayer, when suddenly the Spirit
was poured out in their midst as He had
been on the Day of Pentecost.

Visible fire is said to have been seen
upon one girl’s bed, and when the other
girls went for water to extinguish the fire,
it was discovered that this was the fire of
the Holy Spirit, such as Moses saw in the
burning bush that was not consumed.
These dear Hindu girls who received
the Holy Spirit, spake with other tongue’s
given by the Holy Spirit. One girl spake in
the English language (which she had never
learned), and this is the message that was spoken through her: Jesus is coming
soon, get ready to meet Him.”

And the great revival spread on and on.
Almost simultaneously the Spirit was
poured out in the United States of America, in England, in Canada, in Africa, in
China, and in the islands of the sea.

Never was such worldwide revival
known to spread so quickly and simutaneously. The Spirit was poured out upon praying bands in numberless places, who had never heard before of the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
In every instance, without exception those who received the Holy Spirit spake in other tongues exactly as those who had received in Bible days. The latter rain was
falling on the earth.

In order to receive the Holy Spirit, one
had to be empty and humble. Poor and
rich, black or white, the mistress and the
maid alike received the Holy Spirit when
they humbled themselves and sought with
all their hearts.
Those who received, praised the Lord
and magnified His Name, as no one but
Spirit-filled saints can do. Waves of glory, floods of praise swept over assemblies who had received the Holy Spirit. There was no way of stopping this great revival, it seemed.
