Awaken from Death | True story by Tony Low

Shalom!

It was a great oppurtunity for us to meet and listen to testimonial by Tony Low, a man labeled as "Wireless Man".

His testimonial was so powerful and inspiring. Giving all praises to God, he now lives as a new person born again in Christ.


This is his testimonial:
Born as a non-believer, he lived a normal life with his wife till one day, he was diagnosed with a stage 4 cancer. All the top Oncologist in Singapore told him that treating the cancer is futile because they have never seen a man with so much cancer in his body. He was basically a walking tumour. They told him to take 3 months of holiday to visit all the places he wants and when he's back from holiday 3 months later, he will be gone. Time to prepare his own coffin by then. It was devastating to hear that not only from 1 doctor, but many! Each doctor said the same thing.

But, there was one doctor who asked him if he wanted to try chemo, a new type of drug under testing phase (20 years back, chemo was not as modern as now) even though the risk was that he might be killed by the chemo drug instead of the cancer . At wits end, he said yes. After 4 months, the doctor was surprised to see his body reacting positively towards his drug and said "Someone up there really loves you!". Tony, at that time, a non-believer did not understand that. The doctor, a Christian, smiled because the tumours decreased by a huge amount. Tony went deeper into Buddhism, travelling to India, Sri Lanka, meditating in the forest and even under the Bodhi Tree. He did everything to understand life.

Unfortunately, the cancer relapsed and this time it was in his brain, as big as an orange. The pressure was so great that Tony couldn't control his body and went into fits. The doctor arranged for immediate brain surgery or he will be gone by night. Doctors cut his skull and part of his brain. Covered it up again but he was still shaking terribly. So, they have to open up his skull again and throw away more of his brain. 1/4 of his brain was cut away. They have to leave open the skull as they didn't want pressure on that part. He was in coma when he was wheeled out of the OT. They had all the tubes stuck into his body to monitor his vital organs, even one into his open-wound brain as there was no skull to cover it to monitor brain activity.

After 4 days, the specialists declared him dead as there was no brain activity and vital organs shut down. His wife, Ashley Low,  has to sign the paper to declare her husband dead. But she refused to do so. She was certain her God will heal her husband. The doctors thought she went cuckoo but they couldn't do anything without her signature. Surprisingly, Ashley accepted Christ 3 months before he was diagnosed with brain tumour! And so, they transfered him to the ICU to wait for her signature before transfering him into the mortuary.

Praise be to the Almighty God, after a full 7 days ordeal, Tony was awaken from death! A miracle just happened! The specialists used a few machines to convince themselves that he is alive! And yes, he is alive!


Now, let's hear what Tony Low experienced during that 3 days of death:
     "I stood up. I saw my own body on the sick bed. I was thinking "What is happening???". I got   terrified. Looking down on your own body is not a good sign. Am I dead? Oh.....what do I do now?As I was getting puzzled and frightened, I heard a voice saying "LOOK UP". Well, better to look up than to look down on your dead body, right? So , I looked up and saw a bright light, the sides opening up like curtains and bright light shining down, .... the picture here is what I can let you see how it roughly feels like that time. I definitely can't show you the exact thing I saw ,but this is some how like that. Just to let you have a feel of it....

Bright light coming from the sides that pulled up like curtains

      I thought to myself, "Is that Heaven?" And the next thing I saw was something like a man with white robes, with both arms wide open....

A man so bright with both arms wide open. Our God is light ( 1 John 1: 5)

  ....and said in a loud, thunderous voice (Job 37:4-5)
                     "TONY,
                       DO NOT BE AFRAID. (written in the bible for 365 times)
                       I WILL WALK IN FRONT OF YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE". (Isaiah 45:2, Deuteronomy 31:8)

Each word was loud and echoed like thunder. He was too bright for me too see, I'm scared I will go blind. He was always on my right hand side.


When Tony woke up, it was past 3 days since he was dead. But now, resurrected and born a new person. The doctors could not explain this miracle. But, the doctors said, without his brain, he will be a complete "vegetable" because there are no veins or "connectors"to control the limbs. And yes, he went back not being able to move from chin down.

He went to ask the pastors about this wonderful and almighty God that he met when he was dead. The pastors told him that all the answer can be found in the Bible. He needs to read the bible to know about Him. The Bible is God's mind, His words.

In 30 days, Tony finished reading the Bible. How did he do that? Who turned the pages for him? God is full of humour. He allowed Tony's little pinky to MOVE and that was how he used it to flip the pages! If Tony can walk and move freely after death, maybe he will just be enjoying himself and have no time for the Bible. So, you see, God is stern yet merciful!

And after flipping the last page and the back cover of the bible (30 days) , as the cover drops, Tony felt as if his legs were on fire. He panicked and jumped away from his wheelchair. Then, he got another shock. He's standing! Wow!! Praise the Lord! After a few hours of baby-like walking, he was walking, and after a few more hours he was running and the next day, he was ballroom dancing with his wife!

6 months passed and it's time to get another check-up. The doctor got another shock of his life and told him to walk while he observed till his jaw dropped to the ground. There was no need for check up that day anymore and was told to go home. That doctor became a believer of Christ after that incident! Hallelujah!

God is using each and everyone of us to spread His love, to be a good testimonial and to raise His Kingdom just like how He used Tony to do His will on earth.

O Father in Heaven, continue to use us to do your will on Earth. Let everyone, of all races, of all skin colour, of all languages, come to you, talk to you for the only language You listen to is PRAYER. Let us pray fervently, continue praising You for the wonder of your works, your grace, your mercy and unfailing love. Thank you, Lord for the every moment in our life. Guide us the way to lead a fulfilling life as You desire of us and to be more like You till we meet again in Heaven. In Jesus precious name, Amen!
