Went to hospital Friday night to check on my mother and she was having a good day considering all that happened Wednesday evening. We got the latest info from the nurses, stayed a while and then started to leave. Pat and I got out into the hallway and stopped to talk about the situation with my mother and tried to make some kind of since of why she keeps dieing and coming back. The doctors are just as puzzled as are the nurses also. Suddenly I felt that I had to go back in and speak the salvation prayer over her because she has always carried some kind of bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness with her for as long as I can remember.She was never mean to anyone, just never seamed happy. She was dedicated to her church, always helping with dinners for families that lost loved ones. She was there for most every service and event, she would always send scriptures or tracks in birthday cards, everything you would expect a Christian to do, but something seamed missing and as I started praying it was revealed to me that Gods word says we must confess that we are sinners and accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour over our life. But my mother was sedated and unconscious, how could she, if she never prayed that prayer, be able to pray it now? Then I remembered that His word also said that God wishes none should perish, but all to come to repentance, by salvation THROUGH Christ Jesus. It was then while I was praying that salvation message to her that I realized that a mute person could receive salvation too, and they cant speak either, so how do they confess and proclaim? It is not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says The Lord. and it was at that moment that I realized I was praying in the spirit and all of the sudden the hospital window blew open and wind was rushing in. Pat, who was on the other side of the bed, stopped praying and stood there trying to discern what was happening. I finished praying and looked up to see her having a difficult time trying to shut the window, which by the way was still locked. Yes I said, it was still locked. A locked window in the ICU room of a hospital just opened and a rushing wind was whistling in. I had to help my wife close the window and when we finally got it closed and locked again, there was such a peace in the room you could feel it. Something shifted Friday night in that hospital room and when we left my mother actually looked like she was resting peacefully for the first time. I have confessed that I sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God and I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, and it is only by the shedding of his blood and his sacrifice on the cross that I can be cleansed of sin and forgiven and have eternal life. I still fall short, sometimes daily, but my Father in heaven still loves and forgives me. I still need His forgivness, and He still gives it freely to all who will ask.
