Revival Library MARVELS AND MIRACLES God Wrought in The Ministry for Forty Five Years Mrs. M. B. Woodworth-Etter The Revival Library, King’s Christian Centre, High Street, Bishop’s Waltham, Hants, SO32 1AA, UK Telephone: 01489 894734 Email: [email protected] About This Book “I cannot let this opportunity go by without again bringing to the notice of my readers, ‘Acts of the Holy Ghost,’ or ‘Life and Experiences of Mrs. M. B. Woodworth-Etter.’ It is a book I value next to the Bible. In special seasons of waiting on God I have found it helpful to have the New Testament on one side of me and Mrs, Etter’s book on the other; this latter is a present day record of ‘the Acts’ multiplied. Mrs. Etter is a woman who has had a ministry of healing since 1885, her call as an evangelist being some years previous to this. I venture to think that this ministry is unparalleled in the history of the Church, for which I give all the glory to the Lord Jesus Christ, as Mrs. Etter would, I know, wish me to do. This ministry should be made known, for the glory of the Triune God and the good of believers.” Rev. Stanley Smith - one of the famous “Cambridge Seven” and for many years a worker with “The China Inland Mission.” This was reprinted in this expanded and comprehensive volume which covers forty five years of effective Pentecostal ministry by the remarkable lady.

PREFACE Page iii The Spirit of God has put it upon my heart to get out another book, “Marvels and Miracles,” which is, I believe, the tenth book I have published while in the ministry, a period of over forty-five years. It gives a condensed report of my early life and ministry up to the present time (1922). I am at this writing, past three score and seventeen years, and still active in the work of the Lord. My God given faculties are keen, and I am as alert as ever to do my Master’s bidding, I know there are only a few more years left in which we will be able to work, as we can just now. Gross ‘spiritual darkness is fast settling down over the people; very soon the saints will be caught away to eternal day, and the night of the Great Tribulation overtake those unprepared to meet their Lord. My last book, “Signs and Wonders,” has been most wonderfully used of God. Abridged editions of it have been published in English,. French, Italian and Swedish; besides this, parts of it have been published in the various dialects of the people, by the missionaries in a number of foreign countries, especially Egypt, India and China. Before the material for that book went to press, we knelt down, and prayed over and anointed it. The power of God came down upon us in one wave after another, and we saw that the pages of it would shine for Jesus wherever they should be sent; and truly this has been so, almost beyond our expectation. Now I believe God is going to do even greater things through this new book, “Marvels and Miracles.” Missionaries write to me from some of the darkest corners of the earth, saying, We want to get your Holy Ghost literature before these people; send us all you can and pray for us, that we may be able to get it translated into the language of the people. I have also just published a book, entitled “Spirit-Filled Sermons,” which contains over a score of sermons, delivered and, carefully selected and arranged by myself, to help God’s Page iv people to complete the necessary preparation for the Rapture of the Bride. I am sure that this book will also prove itself a great blessing to all who read it. My booklet, “Questions and Answers on Divine Healing,” Revised and Enlarged, is the second edition, the first is entirely exhausted. It answers any reasonable question that any person may ask, from a scriptural standpoint; giving what the Bible says on Divine Healing. In these days when there are so many sick and afflicted people all over the country, this booklet should be put into every home, to give people scriptural light. The prices of these books are: “Marvels and Miracles,” $1.65 Prepaid. “Spirit-Filled Sermons,” 65c Prepaid. “Questions and Answers on Divine Healing,” (Revised and Enlarged), 25c Prepaid. If ordered together, all three will he sent to you for $2.50 prepaid. Address: MRS. M. B. WOODWORTH-ETTER, 2114 Miller St., Indianapolis, Indiana, U. S. A. THE LORD JESUS USES MY BOOK “SIGNS AND WONDERS” Page v While I was holding meetings in San Francisco, Cal., in December, 1916, a copy of “Signs and Wonders” was left lying on the pulpit. In the morning the janitor took it to his room to read. While lying on his bed reading, he suddenly noticed Christ in beautiful white garments, standing by the door, with a lighted candle in His hand. He got frightened, and pulled himself out of bed on his knees; bowing prayerfully with his face downward; waited for what was going to happen. Still frightened, he finally asked, “What wilt Thou have me to do, Lord?” Christ then answered, “Go and read thy book,” namely, “Signs and Wonders” which he was reading when Christ made His appearance. He then got up and took the book and began to read. As he did so Christ disappeared, but left the lighted candle. In the next meeting he testified about his experience, when the power of God came upon him and prostrated him on the platform. A missionary who was also present in the meeting, then got up and prophesied in the Spirit, about the book: he said that it would go all over the world, and be translated into many languages, which is fast coming to pass. Now I believe that God will bless this new book, “Marvels and Miracles,” even more than “Signs and Wonders.” Therefore my heart’s desire and prayer is that this book will receive a more speedy and wider circulation; also that many souls may find Jesus as a result of reading it.
