One great fear was that if I obeyed the call of duty, and went out declaring myself to be one favored of the Most High with visions and revelations for the people, I might yield to sinful exaltation and be lifted above the station that was right for me to occupy. I had known of such cases, and my heart shrank from the trying ordeal. LASW 35.1
I now entreated that if I must go out and relate what the Lord had shown me, I should be preserved from undue exaltation. Said the angel: “Your prayers are heard, and shall be answered. If this evil that you dread threatens you, the hand of God will be stretched out to save you; by affliction [sickness] He will draw you to Himself. Deliver the message faithfully; endure unto the end, and you shall eat the fruit of the tree of life and drink of the water of life.” LASW 35.2
After recovering consciousness of earthly things I committed myself to the Lord, ready to do His bidding, whatever that might be. 10Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, 71, 72. LASW 35.3
