"The fanaticism and errors into which he had fallen through an evil influence seemed to hinder the exercise of his faith, but he gratefully received the plain testimony borne him, made humble confession of his fault, and took his position firmly for the truth. LS 76.1"
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
The EGW passage mentions confession of fault, and 1 John 1:9 speaks directly about confessing sins and receiving forgiveness. This is a clear thematic parallel.
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
Both passages deal with repentance and conversion. The EGW passage describes someone confessing fault and taking a position for truth, which aligns with the call to repentance in Acts 3:19.
"Only a few who were strong in faith were permitted to enter the sickroom. The fanatics whose influence over him had been so injurious, and who had persistently followed him to Brother Patten's, were positively forbidden to come into his presence, while we prayed fervently for his restoration to health. I have seldom known such a reaching out to claim the promises of God. The salvation of the Holy Spirit was revealed, and power from on high rested upon our sick brother and upon all present. LS 76.2"
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
The EGW passage describes fervent prayer for healing, and James 5:16 directly connects prayer with healing. The mention of 'effectual fervent prayer' in James strengthens the connection.
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
The EGW passage describes a group gathered in prayer, and the presence of God's power. Matthew 18:20 speaks of God's presence where two or three are gathered in His name. While not a direct quote, the thematic connection is present.
"Brother Hyde immediately dressed and walked out of the room, praising God, and with the light of heaven shining upon his countenance. A farmer's dinner was ready upon the table. Said he, “If I were well, I should partake of this food; and as I believe God has healed me, I shall carry out my faith.” He sat down to dinner with the rest, and ate heartily without injury. His recovery was complete and permanent. LS 76.3"
"Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God."
Both passages describe miraculous healing, praising God, and immediate action following the healing. The Acts passage describes a lame man healed and immediately walking and praising God, while the EGW passage describes someone healed and immediately eating a meal as a demonstration of faith. The parallels are strong.
"I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion."
The passage describes immediate healing and getting up, similar to the healing of the paralytic in Mark 2:11-12.
