Pray and Pray Forward

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmanent sheweth His handiwork."
-Psalm 19:1

Elizabeth laughed with joy after she headed home from the church after she ended her covenant with God. She had tried to wrestle with God toward the altar to pray by 9AM, but God shouted angrily, "GO BACK HOME!" He had to say it three times until she gave up thinking that she have sinned and then He told her sweetly, "Your three years are up. You have prayed through into my glory." (pg. 59, Dabney, Elizabeth J.)

BUT there's more...

When she came back home, God had anointed her with oil in the scary basement and called her into a Prayer Ministry all over the country. Thus she prayed over many pastors and many revival tents. She even came to DC to pray, with heavy tears on the way. Alot of people were in sympathy with her, but she said nothing. She prayed over Pastor Kelsey who then had nearly 90 converts and they were being baptized in the Potomac River. I believe that it took place nearby 7th St SW and O St SW, probably nearby the Gangplank Marina. Her ministry soared even more as someone wrote about her in the article, tract and even broadcasted her. She almost collapsed when she learned of it because she knew that the attacks would be greater. She never wanted this, but she did it out of her love for God.

Once you started, you cannot turn back. Advancing forward.

I was reading this in Library of Congress and when I paused halfway and hold this "out of print" rare book, I recognized those words engraved on the wall by the ceiling. No way! It was engraved on the wall just like how Elizabeth wrote it, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmanent showeth His handiwork."

I sat back in awe.

Elizabeth wrote, "Prayer is the key to the Lord's heaven door."
