Jacqueline M Father's Experiences

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

This is the story as told to me by my late father I felt the need to share it with you. This gave me great comfort when he passed away for the final time.

My late father Lennie developed cancer of the left maxilla and was sent to the Royal Brisbane Hospital in Brisbane to have an operation to take out the cancerous parts in his face (internal). He remembers going out to it in the operation, he said at some time during the operation he was above his body looking down on it, he knew he was dead. He said the next instant he was sucked through black space the blackest he could ever imagine, then he was standing outside this golden tunnel. Inside the tunnel he said, was a holy man standing there with the whitest brightest long robe on. He had long hair and Dad knew this man to be very holy. Dad also knew that he could not go in the tunnel till it shone bright gold, Dad said he wanted to go in because he could feel the love and peace all around him. He said he did not know how he knew the man was holy or he could only enter when the tunnel shone bright gold but he knew. When the tunnel did not shine bright gold the man inside the tunnel said you have to go back we are not ready for you, when we are we will come and get you. Next thing Dad remembers is waking up in his body in recovery. 

The experience bothered Dad he could not forget what had happened to him, he knew it was not his imagination or an hallucination it was real to him, Dad being an atheist could not fathom it. Dad was sent back to our home town in Blackwater to die he had secondary cancer in the bones. One day while in Blackwater Hospital he had a visitation from an Angel whom identified himself to Dad as a messenger from God (it was 12 midday) and the Angels' feet did not touch the ground. He told Dad I have a message for you from God, in order for you to get to Heaven you have to follow these instructions, Dad did not tell me all the instructions but one he did tell me was that he had to read the bible every day till he died, and that if he did not understand it to get a pastor to help him.

I nursed at a hospital in Rockhampton so I had Dad transferred to our Hospital because it had an oncology ward and I knew Dad needed to be near his family.

About two weeks before he died he told us that he would not be here in two weeks, my sister asked him why where are you going Dad?, he said I will be dead. He said this the night another young guy named Danny died, Danny had melanoma and was in the bed opposite Dad. Dad relayed to me what happened just prior to Danny taking his last breath, Dad saw 2 large Angels enter the room and stand on either side of the bed not touching the ground, Dad heard Danny take his last breath and then Danny with the 2 Angels stood at the foot of Dads bed. One of the angels said to Dad we will be back for you in 2 weeks time. Dad died exactly 2 weeks to the day that Danny died. He told me that when he saw Danny's soul that he was happy and rejuvenated. Another thing Dad told me do not be afraid of death as it is like walking through a door. My father went from being a person who believed in nothing to being saved by Almighty God and for that I am so grateful and privileged to have been a witness to his saving grace. A few years after Dad died I get getting a message that I had to find Danny's mother and tell her about her son. I said Lord I do not know where to find her if you want me to tell her I am sure you will help it happen. It became very persistent that I find her, as luck or divine intervention would have it I happened to be working with Danny's best mate, I only found out when we were talking about previous jobs we had done. I told him where I had nursed and he told me his best mate had died there in the year I nursed there. I asked him his mates name and when he told me I said thank you God. Danny's friend put me in touch with Danny's mother that very day and I asked her if I could come and see her immediately after work she said yes. Danny's mum was a very frail little old lady and I was so afraid to tell her about Danny's last moments for fear of her not believing me or upsetting her. I told her what my father had witnessed when Danny died, she broke down crying, I was mortified as I thought I had done the wrong thing.

I said I am sorry for upsetting you like this. she said you have not upset me these are tears of joy, you have made me the happiest mother alive, she said she had fretted for years wondering what had happened to Danny after he died and know she knew that he was saved. God moves in mysterious ways. Danny's mother had been suffering severe depression since his passing Danny was 26 yrs old when he died, my Dad was 51 yrs old and they both died on a Sunday 2 weeks apart. I hope this gives comfort to a lot of people out there, Jesus and God are real Angels are real I know because my Dad saw them and was saved. God bless all of humanity.
