I looked her directly in her face. She was sure of who she was in God. The character lines on her face say that she has seen much and she understands much more than the average churchgoer. And she was not full of pride, but she was very humble.
Then when the pastor
said what he said, it clinched it.
"When she began to pray I felt the Spirit of God enter into the building."
Suffice to say, she brought the Spirit in with her.
I suppose at ninety years old, you either know how to pray or you do not. She is an old soldier. She is an experience warrior. She knows how to get in contact with God. She reminds me of my mother. She did not come to church just to be seen or heard, she came to have church. She was not there for a form or fashion, she was there to lift of the name of Jesus, and that she did. She danced and shouted unto the Lord. She sang with her whole being. I enjoy seeing this great woman in the service of the Lord. She was a testimony against all young people that came as spectators. She is a living testimony of God's amazing power to keep his own. God knows how to preserve his own.
Something needs to also be said for how you revere this church mother. I think that the mistake of the younger generations is that they discard the elderly instead of embracing them. They have a testimony about the Lord that is unique and powerful. Hebrews 13:7 cautions us to listen to our leaders, examine their lives and imitate their faith. But we can't do that until we calm ourselves, quiet our own agendas and pay close attention to (befriend) the previous generations and ask for their guidance, testimony and prayers. Bless you Brother! Eric
