Martha was anointed with the Holy Spirit, and was filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and understanding. She believed in listening to the sick spirits, grieving hearts, and the healing of lonely souls. Martha asked the Lord, why do you continue to bless me? He replied, "so you can continue to be a blessing to the people around you". She believed that falling is an accident, but staying down was a choice in which the choices we make, determines our path into the light of God. She knew the Lord would keep her safe, she was not afraid because she knew to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. She knew that there is power in prayer, and when it was time to pray, she was not to be disturbed. She prayed for a heart free of sadness, a mind free of worries, a life full of gladness, a body free of illness, and a day full of the Lord's blessings
