Just a few months before his passing, mum said that he started to hallucinate about snakes again.
However unlike the previous time where he would recover, his condition turned for the worse and he was transferred to ICU, he never regained consciousness after that. I regretted not telling him the gospel one last time. Even then God was gracious. Relentlessly verses and encouragement came and I was mobilized to enter into battle mode. No plan! just moved with the flow. I knew that we need to fight alongside- the objective is he must meet Jesus in the spirit. We sang chinese and hokkien songs sent by my dear sister Janice and others. We prayed and talked to him. Doctors told us they still can hear sometimes when sedated. So we talked to him and told him what we wanted to say. I had never been so focused in my life. Tho the doctors gave one bad news after another, my inner voice said ` Now is the time, get ready.' I ignored the words from the doctor. ` His heart and lungs are failing. There is 60% chance of saving him...then 40% then 20%. Be prepared. We are putting him in kidney dialysis...... We are turning him around to make the final effort....' Ok noted, thank you very much. No matter. I only geared to this:What is the signals and instructions from God? Pastor Ah Yam said 'Pray in the spirit because he can no longer hear.' I spoke in tongues. I relied on the faith of others and just do it. My cell members came and accompanied me. They held hands and prayed. Ailin shared that she went off filled with unspeakable joy, singing in tongues. Such is the energy and power. My paternal 3rd uncle and family witnessed all. Chinese pastor and I spread the gospel to my auntie and cousins. He also went in alone to talk to dad, when I went in, I saw tears in my dad's eyes. As each of his organs collapsed one by one, I was more determined to send him off. Right from the start I had a sense that God was preparing us to let him go. When the Spirit takes over we just do it. I led the group to say our goodbyes and `pushed' him to go to Jesus, telling him: There is nothing here to hold you. We are well and please go first to meet Jesus. We will join you later.' My brothers were asking Is he saved? Is he saved? I said I really don't know but I think he is.
5) Deaconess Laura mentioned that my dad looked peaceful at the wake despite the fact tt he was disfigured by the intrusion of tubes and tape around his mouth....plus the long ordeal at the ICU.
