"I had a message of reproof for them, and while I was speaking, the foremost of the two men kept his eyes fastened upon me, as mesmerists had done before. But I had no fear of his mesmeric influence. Strength was given me from heaven to rise above their satanic power. The children of God who had been held in bondage began to breathe free and rejoice in the Lord. LS 134.2"
"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
EGW describes overcoming a negative influence through divine strength, which parallels the 1 John 4:4 verse about believers overcoming the world because God is greater. The theme of divine power overcoming evil is present in both passages.
"As our meeting progressed, these fanatics sought to rise and speak, but they could not find opportunity. It was made plain to them that their presence was not wanted, but they chose to remain. Then Brother Samuel Rhodes seized the back of the chair in which one of the women was sitting, and drew her out of the room and across the porch onto the lawn. Returning to the meeting-room, he drew out the other woman in the same manner. The two men left the meeting-room, but sought to return. LS 134.3"
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
The EGW passage describes the forceful removal of disruptive individuals to maintain order, which aligns with the principle in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that God is not the author of confusion but of peace.
"As prayer was being offered at the close of the meeting, the second of the two men came to the door, and began to speak. The door was closed against him. He opened the door and again began to speak. Then the power of God fell upon my husband. The color left his face as he arose from his knees. He lifted his hands before the man, exclaiming: “The Lord does not want your testimony here. The Lord does not want you here to distract and crush His people.” LS 134.4"
"But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?"
The EGW passage describes a situation where someone is rebuked and prevented from speaking due to a perceived negative influence, mirroring the situation in Acts 5:3 where Peter confronts Ananias for being influenced by Satan.
