This is a personal message from Pastor Grace Glory Dan on learning "Endurance till the end" through sister Kristine Low's example
"But he who endures to the end shall be saved." Matthew 24:13
Between the 15th to 27th of August 2010, Holy Fire Creations was led to minister to sister Kristine who was suffering her last days of cancer at the Pantai Medical Centre. She was on the road of recovery after being prayed for on the 15th of August. But as she vomitted blood again 5 days later she grew weaker. Pastor told her "Kristine, fight on; refuse defeat with every breath you have". On the eve of her departure, she lifted up her oxygen mask and boldly declared Psalm 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord and she praised the LORD. In her intense pain and suffering, she told another visiting sister that she was indeed very blest to have pastors, intercessors, friends and family around her. Kristine passed on to GLORY at 8.45pm on the 27th of August 2010.
Hearts were saddened and questions arose, for all who prayed for her expected a miracle of healing, especially as a witness to Kristine's Buddhist loved ones.
On Saturday morning, 28th of August, the Holy Spirit awaken me and said "Kristine has STOOD FOR ME TILL THE END!" In the midst of her physical and emotional suffering (for she wanted her aging mum and siblings to be saved), Daniel 3:15-18 came to mind with regards to the religions conflicts around her dying bedside. Kristine did not bow tot he "contentions" of 'other gods or beliefs'. Instead, she clung to Jesus Christ her Saviour and Lord till the very end.
"If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from you hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up." Daniel 3:17-18
WOW! What an honour to witness Kristine's courageous STAND for Jesus till the end. What a practical lesson and impartation of the precious gem of faith which we need at this dark hour (Isaiah 60:1-3). Holy Fire Creations thank YAH for including us to help Kristine in her last lap of her spiritual race through intercession and encouragements "and having done all, TO STAND" (Ephesians 6:13).
"Kristine, we salute you as one of God's precious examples and champions of FAITH till the end"
A precious life lesson that reflects what Wendy Alec wrote in "Journal of the Unknown Prophet" about Christ's Purified BRIDE (pg 285) to her Yeshua say one day "Thank you - Well done - Good and faithful servant - You who stood for Me - while so much was dark and unseen and when at so many times all the glory of Heaven seemed so far away and My presence seemed hidden from your sight - still you kept faith - still yo stood strong. Even when your limbs were weary and when your soul was overwhelmed with the stresses and the pressures of earth - still you stood for Me - still you preached My Gospel."
