Jenny Moore’s Pentecostal Experience
Jenny Moore was born in 1884 in Austin, Texas. By 1906, her family had found their way to Los Angeles and were living just down the street from where the revival took place. On April 9, 1906, she was among those who received the baptism of the Holy Spirit at the Asberry home, becoming the first woman in Los Angeles to do so.
Baptism and Spiritual Gifts
After receiving the baptism, Jenny began to sing in tongues and play the piano under the power of God, despite never having played before. She testified to receiving visions and speaking in multiple languages.
Testimony
In “Music from Heaven” (The Apostolic Faith, issue 8), Jenny shared her experience: “I was praising the Lord… when the power of God fell and I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire, with the evidence of speaking in tongues… God is continuing to use me to His glory ever since that wonderful day.”
Details of Her Experience
Jenny spoke in languages including French, Spanish, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Hindu, with interpretations given in English. She played piano and sang under inspiration, though she’d never played before.
