Barbara Heinemann Landmann - The Lord Manifests His Favor.

The Lord Manifests His Favor.

From Bergzabern, Barbara journeyed to Bischweiler. There, during a Sunday morning service, she fell into a trance that lasted all day, from 9:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night. During this trance her entire testimony was in rhyme. Whoever came to her and gave her a hand in friendship was given a Word of encouragement and blessing. A doubter who came forward to give his hand was instantly made aware of the truth. He remained with the Community until his death from consumption.

Krausert sent Christian Metz and another Brother to Bischweiler, to bring Barbara to Ronneburg. Part of their journey to Ronneburg was a river voyage. Their ship was filled with musicians and revelers who would not let them sleep. Barbara experienced a Bewegung. Her companions prepared to write down her testimony, but none was forthcoming. The revelers, however, noticed what had happened and fell quiet. Thus the Lord's purpose was served.

There followed, in the villages around Ronneburg, a blessed time. Barbara and Krausert presented many testimonies, sometimes two or three a day; and a great awakening took place.
