All the opposers were now brought to see their mistake and to confess that the work was indeed of the Lord. In a prayer meeting soon after, the brother who had confessed that he was wrong in his opposition, experienced the power of God in so great a degree that his countenance shone with a heavenly light, and he fell helpless to the floor. When his strength returned, he again acknowledged that he had been ignorantly warring against the Spirit of the Lord in cherishing the feeling he had against me. In another prayer meeting still another member of the same family was exercised in a similar manner and bore the same testimony. A few weeks after, while the large family of Brother P. were engaged in prayer at their own house, the Spirit of God swept through the room and prostrated the kneeling suppliants. My father came in soon after, and found them all, both parents and children, helpless under the power of the Lord. {1T 47.2}

Alle modstanderne kunne nu se deres fejltagelse og bekendte, at dette værk i sandhed var fra Herren. Ved et bedemøde ikke længe efter erfarede den bror, som havde bekendt, at han havde taget fejl ved sin modstand, Guds magt i så stor en grad, at hans ansigt skinnede med et himmelsk lys, og han faldt hjælpeløs om på gulvet. Da hans kræfter vendte tilbage, anerkendte han igen, at han i sin uvidenhed havde kæmpet imod Herrens Ånd ved at nære de følelser, som han havde haft imod mig. Ved et andet bedemøde blev endnu et andet medlem af denne familie ramt på lignende måde, og de aflagde det samme vidnesbyrd. Nogle få uger senere, mens bror P.'s store familie var samlet til bøn i deres eget hjem, fejede Guds Ånd igennem værelset og væltede de ydmygt bedende omkuld. Min far kom ikke længe efter ind i værelset og fandt dem alle, både forældre og børn, hjælpeløse under Herrens magt.
