There was such an intensity of the Spirit there that it was on one occasion most of the people in the church had a difficult time standing. Many were slain in the Spirit. Once, a white-hot fire tornado swept through the old building and knocked many of us down. This is nothing new. My parents told me of times in the 1930s that the congregation was hit and was strewn around almost like cord wood.

I am an eye witness to many things none of which I would exaggerate or embellish. There were many mighty miracles that took place in that old church on 16th and Day. Hopefully, someone will write a book about it before it becomes ancient history and forgotten.

btw, Have you ever read the book on the life and ministry of Sister Maria Woodworth-Etter? If not, you should try to get a copy of it. She was long before my time but I've seen much of what took place in her own ministry.

Not doubting you at all. I am aware of 16th and Day. I wish someone would publish a book that said...
1) Sis. So and So got up from her wheelchair and is still out of it today. And here's her name.
2) Bro. So and So had a tumor disappear from his neck and here are pictures before and after. And here's his name.
3) Bro. Who Would Have Thought It was blind, could not see, and here are doctor reports to substantiate the fact and here he is reading his Bible. And his name is ______.

Why so doubtful? Well you can get on TV and hear reports of so many things that supposedly happened, (and then find out there was someone behind the stage with a remote facility telling the preacher what he needed to know). Others who walked in and got in a wheelchair before they were prayed for.

I've seen push downs, fall downs, etc and when you stop and think, (without emotionalism being involved) you wonder just how much of this was God and how much of it was a promotional tactic of some preacher or evangelist.

So I guess, when I hear someone make the statement you made, I wonder if that's not a phrase that has been repeated so many times from the pulpit that we get to thinking that it really happened, when it has not. That's the reason I say, "Give me a name!"
