The Boddy Children Receive Pentecost
I was present when the two girls, who were the first children to speak in tongues in England, Janie and May Boddy, received their Pentecost. The nine or ten persons present will never forget the scene.
Janie’s Experience
Janie received the interpretation for each sentence, and her childlike simplicity and joy, her beaming face, that I shall never forget, the message she received was: “Jesus is coming!” With a surprised look of joy on her face, she turned to her mother and kissed her. Messages included “The Heavens are opened!” and “The first shall be last, and the last first.”
May’s Experience
May Boddy had a great revelation of God’s power. She prayed so earnestly that she might not “be left out.” Janie encouraged her: “It’s all through the Blood, May, all through the Blood! Jesus is come, He said, May, May too.” May spoke in Norwegian: “Aa, Ja, Jesus! Ja, ja, ja, Jesus!”
Impact
These two dear children have been kind and good girls before and loved Jesus dearly but now they love Him much more and are bold to tell others of His wonderful power to save. – T.B. Barratt.
