[RE: A testimony by Sister Edna Murray recorded in a 1973 prayer meeting<\/em>]:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pastor John:<\/span><\/p>\n

Amen to this!!\u00a0 Oh!\u00a0 I love Sister Edna!\u00a0 I can’t wait to meet her one day!\u00a0 I feel such a connection with her!\u00a0 The Lord put us together in my dream years ago where Aunt Leatha handed me a small brown envelope that said, “Sister Edna’s Testimony”\u00a0written in pretty cursive handwriting.\u00a0 Aunt Leatha looked me straight in the eyes as she was handing me the envelope and said, “I want you to take good care of this.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I found out from you later the next night that her testimony was my testimony, I was so overcome with feelings of love from Jesus, knowing that he had visited me in a dream and that he had connected the two of us that way, and that he even considered me worthy to carry on that faithful saint’s testimony!\u00a0 (I don’t feel worthy, but I am encouraged and thankful!)\u00a0 When I think about this, it feels just like a story straight out of the Bible!<\/span><\/p>\n

I cannot look at her picture in your office without thinking about that dream.\u00a0 I find myself standing at my kitchen sink doing dishes and thinking about her, and sometimes I tear up when I do!\u00a0 She cleared a path for me, and her testimony has encouraged me more than she will ever know!<\/span><\/p>\n

Like she said in her testimony, I’ve been \u201cworking on this thing\u201d for almost 29 years, and it \u201cjust suits me\u201d, too!:)\u00a0 I know exactly how she feels when she says the truth is all that satisfies my soul, and I feel that with my whole heart!\u00a0 So many people that were close to me (parents, husband, children, nephews, sisters) have disappointed me along the way, but Jesus has never disappointed me, and his truth is what has kept me going and given me joy when things around me weren’t so joyful!\u00a0 He has put me under an anointed pastor and surrounded me with saints that love his truth, and that has kept me and strengthened me through the years!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If I’m doing my math correctly, I’ll be 79 when I’ve been in the truth 49 years \u2013 just like her! \u00a0I was 30 when I received the Spirit in 1990, so 49 yrs later would make me 79, too! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0We must have even been the same age when we received Holy Ghost!<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember when I first started coming around and had\u00a0Sunday<\/span>\u00a0lunch at Uncle Joe’s and Aunt Myrtle’s, Uncle Joe said several times that I reminded him of his mother.\u00a0 I always assumed he meant there was a physical resemblance (and he may have meant just that), but I wonder now if he was feeling something else there!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet feelings thinking about this today! \u00a0Thank you for sending us the text from that meeting.\u00a0 I have the CD now from that meeting, and I look for ward to hearing it!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
