LINDA: And I just began to spend a little time with the family before I drove home. Obviously I had to go home. And that’s a drive, almost a two hour drive for me. And I was so arrested by the Holy Spirit all the way home. Actually, Jesus rode in the car with me. I’m confident of that. And he at one point says, “It’s okay, Linda, I have her.” He said that to me before I ever drove in my driveway. The Jesus that just loves us so much said to me, “I have her.”
SID: And you actually stopped at a convenience store and prayed in tongues.
LINDA: Well, that was just really, just truly a spiritual act because I had only been on the turnpike just a short, short while. I mean, I didn’t need to stop for anything. But I got off of the turnpike, I pulled into the parking lot of a convenience store, having no reason to be there. I didn’t even get out of the car. I just continued to pray in tongues as I had been almost incessantly since I received the call. And I sat there and just prayed and prayed and I wasn’t even going any further into even asking the Lord for interpretation, which now, I probably should have but I didn’t. I just yielded to that intercession because it was deep and it was pure and it was edifying and building me at the same time.
SID: She was doing something beyond what she realized she was doing. I mean, because she prayed in tongues all the time, she actually had the ability to interpret her language, but not at that point. But she was praying and as she did, an amazing miracle was happening. You’ll find out about in a little bit. But then, you went home and you obviously couldn’t sleep. You get up and you had a visitor.
LINDA: I did have a visitor. I did. I got up early in the morning and our house is small. Mom was staying with us, sleeping on the pull-out couch because we didn’t have a spare room and I could not turn the lights on in the kitchen without disturbing her. So I was in the dark, sitting at the table, standing up, sitting, walking, pacing, just asking the Lord, “Help me, help me, help me.”
LINDA: And I was just beginning to sense this rage rise up in me and I had a powerful visitation from God. He came into my kitchen, Sid. He was so real to me. I didn’t see him. I didn’t see him, but I knew he was there. I was so familiar with the God within that I was very familiar with the God who was face-to-face. I knew it was him. And he said to me, he said, “Linda, I don’t want you to be angry. I want you to be grateful because I have delivered Michelle from much.”
LINDA: I go, “Well, that’s not right. That doesn’t even sound right.” But just on the tail of that, he said, “Linda, I’m asking you to forgive Ray.” Well, I’m a minister at this point in time and not a new one. I’ve been ministering for years. So I knew that was in the scriptures and I thought, “Okay, all right. I don’t particularly want to do this, but I know I have to do this.” And I didn’t say yes right away, but I did eventually say, “I will. I will, Lord. And with your grace. You’re going to have to help me. You’re going to have to help me because the murder was brutal.” It was vicious and it was brutal and it was horrible. And so for me to forgive him at all was going to take a supernatural intervention from God.
