They had three children, Dimitri, Maria and Varvara, but the marriage and kids did not settle Rasputin. He continued to wander, traveling to places of religious significance and claimed to be a holy man. Rasputin held the power to heal the sick, and predict the future. His fame grew far and wide, and soon people traveled from long distances in search of his insight and healing powers. In return for his services, people brought presents of food and money. Also, Rasputin took up farming to support his family. One day while working, he thought he saw a vision and declared that he had been ordered to make a difference is someone's life. .
In 1905, Rasputin arrived in St.Petersburg and worked for church by using his power over the people. Not until 1907, Rasputin was invited to Tsarskoe Selo to heal young Alexis from bleeding. At first, Rasputin's presence at the palace caused little unease and concern. However, nobody expected the degree of intimacy with which Rasputin came to be accepted at the palace. All the children seemed to like him and tsar and tsarina were completely at ease with him, too. To Alexandra especially, Rasputin became much more important. She became convinced that God sent Rasputin to her as a personal messenger to help her son, the tsar, the church and the Russian people. Many believe that, it was the boy's illness that brought Rasputing to the palace. He hypnotized Alexis with his extraordinary eyes, with the boy in a hypnotic state, he suggested that the bleeding would stop and he would. Sometimes, simply by praying for Alexis to recover, Rasputin simply brought back life to Alexis.
Success at Tsarskoe Selo ensured Rasputin's success in society. As his social position improved, his wardrobe became more elegant. Women from every corner threw them selves at him and let him do anything he wanted to. It caused a lot of controversy for a married spiritual leader to sleep around with every woman he laid his eyes on.
