"it had spoiled this for me. I told the view to our little band in Portland, who then fully believed it to be of God. That was a powerful time. The solemnity of eternity rested upon us. About one week after this the Lord gave me another view and showed me the trials I must pass through, and that I must go and relate to others what He had revealed to me, and that I should meet with great opposition and suffer anguish of spirit by going. But said the angel, “The grace of God is sufficient for you; He will hold you up.” EW 20.1"
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
The angel's statement, "The grace of God is sufficient for you," is a direct allusion to 2 Corinthians 12:9, where God tells Paul, "My grace is sufficient for thee." The confidence remains high as it's a clear and direct reference.
"After I came out of this vision, I was exceedingly troubled. My health was very poor, and I was but seventeen years old. I knew that many had fallen through exaltation, and I knew that if I in any way became exalted, God would leave me, and I should surely be lost. I went to the Lord in prayer and begged Him to lay the burden on someone else. It seemed to me that I could not bear it. I lay upon my face a long time, and all the light I could get was, “Make known to others what I have revealed to you.” EW 20.2"
"And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send."
EGW's reluctance to accept her prophetic role and her plea to God to send someone else mirrors Moses' similar reluctance in Exodus 4:13. Both passages involve a divine call and a human's initial unwillingness to accept it. The confidence is high because the parallel is quite strong.
