She Did. From That Day, The Spirit Of The Lord Exploded In Her; Driving Her To Preach The Word Of God And Prophesy Even To Passers-By. At A Point, She Thought It Was Abnormal And Began To Beg Papa To Pray For Her Deliverance. But Her Husband Merely Laughed It Off And Asked If She Still Did Not Known The Reason God Brought Her Into His Life.
