I was up and about quite early today ,one of my first confessions
And praise to our Father daily is... THIS IS THE DAY MY LORD AS MADE I WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT (Psalm 118v24) but today was different I had opened my mouth to confess and thank my Lord with Praise for this day and how I would rejoice
in it when instead the Words.. FOR THE LORD IS GOOD AND HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER ,came out of my mouth (Psalm 106 v 1).Prior to this I had been led in bed this morning remembering when my mother had gone to be with our Lord.
My dear precious mother whom I love so much, this strong in personality very private Lady is now with our Lord and I had been remembering how my Father had ministered to me just after mum had joined him.
But firstly can I share with you the events prior to her home going. My mother always
busy helping and sorting things out for us her family never spent
time in really looking after herself. She would always be rushing
around helping with the children, washing ,cleaning, shopping
anything for her children. Then she ,(obvious to those close to her) we began to see her get unwell .
Mam did not go to the Doctors, the last time my mum went to the doctors was about 30 years before she went home to be with our Lord , you just could not get her to go even when it was obvious she needed help
(there was a reason for this but thats private to mam so I can not share it ) As time went on this decision to seek help was taken out of mams hands , my dad between one way and another got a doctor
to the house to see mam, an ambulance was called and I accompanied mam to hospital. Within a short time examinations , x-rays were done and and a large tumor was seen ,it was cancer.
Mam said to me they said a tumor, I said that's
o.k. mam....because I know my God is in the healing business.
Mam was booked to have surgery , it was to be Thursday (because of Various procedures that had to be carried out first) Today was
Monday . On Tuesday I was informed by the hospital it was not a life threatening operation.
Wednesday I was out shopping when the words Lazarus come forth (John 11v43) came to mind,...I thought what on earth!.
Wednesday evening I realized the significance of that Word. Just
after midnight the hospital called, the bottom line was they really
didn't hold out much hope for mam recovering and I think you should get ready to come here now. We arrived at the hospital.
Mam had been apparently slipping in and out of consciousness, I went over and kissed her give her a hug and starting praying in the
Spirit for her around her bed. An Unbelieving close family relative
was there also, and because I knew I couldn't join in anything
negative I left the room and went into the hospital Chapel where I
continued in prayer and thanks to my God for my mothers recovery.
I must have been there a couple of hours when dad burst in through the door and said quick San shes gone. I just looked at mam for awhile then I remembered the words Lazarus come forth , this is what Father God was telling me about earlier in the day ( because even now it wasn't to late He had told me I could call her back)
I did utter those words Lazarus come forth, but I knew there was no faith mixed with it ,that was my fault not Gods (that's why I implore you my family, that we owe it to ourselves and are loved ones to get into our Fathers Word, so we live ready and prepared for any battle)
My brother in law Peter was actually with my mam when she left
to be with our Lord and he told me what happened, he said San when you were actually in the room talking too and praying for mam she was more alert than when you left the room (the only reason I left was because it was hard for me to be looking physically at this
precious Lady and stay in faith at the same time) Peter continued
to say how that for a long time there was no response at all from
mam then suddenly she opened her eyes turned her head to the side and said "Jesus" and she went to Him.
Some days later I was pondering on what had happened, I had prayed
for mam, and even though I knew Heaven was her home now ,..I still
wanted to know why she hadn't been healed because I know that it is
Gods will that we be whole.
The gentle Holy Spirit comforted me with these words found in (2nd
Corinthians 5 v 8) We are confident I say , and willing rather to be
absent from the body and present with the Lord. I had the
answer now , mam had chosen to go with Jesus, she was willing to be
absent from her body to be with Him.
So precious family for anyone who has prayed for loved ones who had
been sick but they passed on anyway take comfort, a person has a
free will and we can not overide it, if they chose to go with Jesus
be glad that they are there with Him. It doesn't mean they Love you
any less because they went with him, it means they were looking into
things we dont see with the natural eye, so rejoice and be glad
they are there, it wont be too long before you will see them face to
face ...what a reunion thats going to be.
And for you my family who have had people pass on but you were not sure if they were born again or not! please do not be tormented by the devils lies ,For Father God IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH( you do not know what they did even with their last breath,I honestly believe where necessary Father would bring to their rememberance the good news they heard of Jesus who is the Savior of the world, so even in their last moments on earth they had the opportunity to accept him ! FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED (ROMANS 10 V 13).
“God does not call those who are equipped, he equips those whom He has called”.
