Pastor David Kang's Near Death Experience and Heaven-sent Commission from God

LIGHT FOR LIFE US MINISTRY

We must continually charge forward in this battle between good and evil. We are embarking on a new mission in our ministry. There is no time to waste.

-------------------------------------------------------------

One very late evening, Pastor Kang’s heart burst. His life was clinging on the precipice of death. However, after a very sudden “open heart surgery,” God saw fit to grant His servant more time on this earth. We are sure that this news is very shocking, but we humbly ask you to please read on.

Hello my dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

Have you been well? I am sincerely grateful to all my beloved brethren who have thus far prayed for and who have graciously supported Light for Life US ministry. Before I start this letter, I would like to first and foremost pray that God may pour out His grace and blessings upon you and your families who are now living in these days of earth’s history.

The Rupture of the Heart and the Consequential Collapse

On the evening of December 30, 2011, I was suddenly unable to breathe. There was a severe pain in my chest. I had just returned from a month long evangelistic meeting that had been held in Korea and in China. I had thought that perhaps I was suffering from a mild form of pneumonia. As a result, I decided to wait it out. However, as the night deepened, it became increasingly difficult for me to breathe. And, the sharp pain in my chest became unbearable. Then, I coughed up blood. Suddenly, I began to hyperventilate. I was experiencing the symptoms of a sudden heart attack. Thus, the experience of that fateful night will forever be imprinted in my memory.

I admit that for the past twenty years, I have tirelessly labored to do God’s work without rest and without really considering the toll that it would have on my body. In addition, because of my work for the Lord, I received a lot of criticism and was at the center of many malicious rumors. My friends, truthfully, these trials gave me a very heavy and saddened heart. As a result, I began to carry a very heavy responsibility and burden that I must nevertheless continue to do God’s work. As a result, an incredible amount of stress swept into my heart.

As it became very difficult for me to breathe on that night, darkness seemed to overwhelm me. My soul felt helpless. However, I never felt ungrateful to the Lord because for all the years before that fateful night, He had blessed me with abundant strength and good health. It was all because of God that I had been able to work day and night, traveling all around the world spreading the three angels’ messages. Thus, I never imagined that I would ever come so close to the brink of death and ultimately have to undergo heart surgery.

Even while I was being rushed into the emergency room, I still thought that I was only suffering from pneumonia. However, strangely, I did not have a fever. I was first taken to a hospital in Athens, Georgia. As the doctors noticed that I was having trouble breathing, they quickly examined me. Then, the doctor in charge said that I was not suffering from pneumonia. He said that due to a problem in my heart, I was most likely experiencing the early symptoms of a heart attack. He said that he needed to quickly run some tests on my heart so that he could figure out the cause of the problem in order to decide if I needed immediate surgery or some other treatment. I did not realize this until after the heart surgery had been completed, but it was only because of the grace of God that I was able to survive the surgery. Truly, it was miracle from God.

The Surgeon’s Report

After the surgery, Dr. Sharma (the thoracic surgeon who had first examined me) again checked up on my condition. With wide eyes, he looked me over from head to toe with astonishment. He told his colleague, who was right next to him, “This person in front of me is truly a man of God. With all my studies and experience, I cannot believe that this person is still alive!” Soon after, Dr. Sharma sat down next to me. He then proceeded to tell me, “When I first began the surgery, for the first time in my life, a very strange thing happened. While we were doing the angiogram (angiogram: X-ray test that uses a special dye and camera to take pictures of the blood flow in an artery or a vein), we found a clogged artery. Then, we quickly opened this blocked artery because we thought that this was the cause of the problem in your heart. However, I kept having second thoughts. I couldn’t fully convince myself that the cause of the problem was this blocked artery. It had to be something else. As I was thinking, I was suddenly shocked because I discovered a very serious problem. The septum, the dividing wall between the right atrium and left atrium of the heart, had ruptured! Or in other words, there was a huge hole in your heart!”

The Diagnosis: Cardio Ventricular Septal Defect

If I had not undergone surgery, the different streams of blood that were coming out of the two atriums of the heart would have mixed with one another. And, after 24 hours, the inevitable result would be death. After I had been diagnosed with cardio ventricular septal defect and it had been determined that I needed to undergo open heart surgery (a surgery where the chest is opened, an artificial heart is temporarily used to continue blood circulation in the body, and the surgeon then directly conducts surgery on the actual heart), I was rushed via ambulance and taken to a hospital that would be able to perform such a surgery, the Emory hospital in Atlanta. While the ambulance hastily pressed onwards, the doctors in Athens immediately searched for a surgeon who had some experiential knowledge with the surgery that I needed. Without even the sure guarantee that such a surgeon would be found, due to the prognosis that I had received, I was nonetheless speeding through red lights towards Atlanta. Thankfully, they found such a surgeon! This surgeon was a Korean doctor by the name of Richard Myung. And fortunately, he was on call that night!

Once I arrived at the hospital, I was promptly laid down on the hospital stretcher. On the way to the operation room, one Chinese doctor told me the following. “Your condition is very serious. After this surgery, you may not be able to see your family again. The success rate of this surgery is 25%. Thus, please prepare yourself for this.”

Up to that point, it never occurred to me that I might not survive. But, then suddenly, I realized the severity of my situation. I was standing only a few steps from meeting death. Then, all the things of this world quickly vanished in my mind. The things that I used to regard with the utmost importance and the things that I once enjoyed, all these now became meaningless. At that moment, I realized from the deepest depths of my heart the true meaning of genuine prayer, the precious value of each word spoken in this solemn and quiet request to God.

This was my prayer that night: “Oh Lord! I humbly entrust my soul into your hands. I know without a doubt that when I enter eternal life, it is all because of your boundless grace and mercy. And, even if I am not able to enter heaven, I will humbly accept my fate for it is your decision to make and your judgment is always true and just.

Oh precious Lord, in a moment’s time, all my worries and fears have vanished. A peace that the world cannot give, such peace has wrapped me in his arms. I have no fears in my heart. I have completely surrendered myself to you. I praise your Lord for giving me such an invaluable experience as now. To prepare for death is not something that someone can do all of a sudden. Genuine repentance cannot happen all of a sudden. God, I am so feeble and weak. Who could possibly say in front of you Lord that he is righteous? However, only this can I say to you with full confidence. Even though I am a helpless and feeble sinner who has made many mistakes in the past, I do not have any hidden sins my heart, which is why I was able to preach so fervently to others that we must not knowingly cherish sins in our heart.”

I was then put under anesthesia. The doctor told me that after my surgery, due to the anesthesia, I would not be able to awake for three days.

Receiving Open heart surgery

The surgery started at 4 am on the first day of the new year. I had never once imagined that I would be in the hospital on the first day of 2012. However, I give praise and glory to God, even for that time in my life. I believe that God allowed for all those things to come to pass because there was surely something that I needed to learn from that experience. This may sound silly according to man’s reason, but how can we possibly compare the logic of man to the incomparable and unbounded wisdom of God?

The artificial heart was placed in my chest as a temporary substitute. Soon after, the surgeon began to work on the real heart, and thus began the major heart surgery. And, by the abundant grace of God, the surgery, which was predicted to last for 8 hours, was amazingly completed in only 4 hours!

At 8:15 am on January 1, 2012, the surgery was over. The surgeon then stitched my real heart back inside my chest. I slept very peacefully without any worries or thoughts. When I finally did wake up, it was January 4, 2012.

As I opened my eyes, I could faintly glimpse the plain white ceiling of the hospital room. When I turned to the side, I saw my wife, a relieved but tired face. At first, I did not know where I was. But, I was sure that this was not the scene of Jesus’ second coming! This was surely not the morning of the resurrection! This was the same dreary world, still under the blight of sin. I then realized that I was in a hospital room.

The next thought in my head was, “I survived!”

I was not able to drink any water. The nurse gave us a few ice cubes. My wife then moistened my lips with the ice. For the next few days, I endured each day with the help of the painkillers. And, with each new day, the assurance that I had survived grew stronger. The doctors had warned me that many of the muscles in my heart had died. But miraculously, my heart started to beat and function as regularly as it had in the past. It was truly amazing! God had granted to me a new chance of life!

After opening my eyes

A few days later, a person with an ultrasound machine came into my room. After he carefully examined my chest, he started to take a few pictures. Then, he cried, “How is this possible…I cannot believe this! After such a surgery, only one side of the heart should be weakly beating or otherwise should not be moving at all, but how is it possible for both sides of your heart to be beating so powerfully? This is really amazing!” Then, he turned to me and told me the following, “Did you understand what I just said? God must have really wanted for you to live. For your heart to be beating as it is now, there is only a 1% chance of that happening! For the majority of the patients who have had this surgery, either one part of the heart does not function at all or it is so weak that it requires a heart assisting device. But, the state of the muscles in your heart and the strength of your heartbeat are normal!”

As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself, “I have always said to others that until I finish the work that God has entrusted to me, He will not allow for me to sleep. Today, that has actually become a reality!”

Soon after, two doctors came in. As they both closely examined me, they looked at one another and shaking their heads, they said to one another, “This must truly be a miracle!” Then, the two doctors chuckled and said to me, “Some God in heaven must have some reason for you to live!”

The doctors certainly did not know the reason, but I knew what it was. I knew what God wanted me to do and why He had granted me this new life. My entire world had changed. My view of this world and of God’s will for me had unquestionably been made clear. I was no longer the person that I had used to be. I had been saved by the providence of God, and He had sent me into this world again with a new commission to fulfill.

“But by the grace of God I am what I am” (1 Corinthians 15:10).

There is a song that especially moved my heart called the Endless Grace of God. These are the lyrics of that song.

“It is my Lord God who made me. It is my Lord God who called me. It is my Lord God who sent me. All that I am, it is the grace of God! The endless grace of God, such grace I can never repay. His grace embraces every aspect of my life, the endless grace of God!”

The Reason for this New life

God has given me this new chance of life for the same reason as the following. Right now, our ministry is at the threshold of advancing one more step toward progress, the last and final step.

The first stage of this ministry was to cry out for a revival and reformation to the slumbering Christians who professed to be of the remnant of woman, the remnant church.

The second stage was to call out God’s people who were drunk of the wine and errors of Babylon and to teach these people the Bible truth and how to keep the commandments of God in everyday life.

The third stage was to gather and prepare the 11^th hour workers to finish the work in God’s final harvest, all in the hope to hasten Jesus’ second coming.

Right now, we are at a turning point in our ministry. We need to advance on to the next stage in our ministry.

The fourth and final stage is to receive the latter rain that will enable us, by the power of God, to completely finish the work in the vineyard.

Only those who have rejected the wine of Babylon, been made holy by the truth, and who have received the latter rain will do this work. We must hurry and finish the work of the gospel. The course of sin must end. The prophecy involving the last day events have nearly all been fulfilled! Man has filled the measure of his guilt. God’s will and plan for us have been fully and clearly revealed before us. God’s workers must gather together and proclaim the loud cry for a revival of true religion and genuine reformation! Thus, in order for this to come to pass, the servants of God must wake up and pass this short season with fervent diligence. This is the greatest work committed to man! It requires our complete attention and dedication. We cannot do this work without the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus, this is the sudden and new commission that God has given to this weak and lowly servant of God. Praise God’s Holy name and bountiful mercy!

In the Bible, Revelation 18 has briefly predicted this commission that we must fulfill.

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; andthe earth was lightened with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

 My beloved brethren!

Jesus will return very soon! We must surrender ourselves, whole spirit, soul, and body, to finish this very important work of God. We are now living in the last hour of earth’s history. This world will not go on for much longer. We must knit our hearts together with the love and harmony of heaven.

We must pray in earnest! We must prepare in earnest! And lastly, we must, with all earnestness, ready the way to meet our Lord!

Right now, the ministry has focused all her efforts and prayers in advancing towards this final phase. From the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely thank all our subscribers for their heartfelt prayers and gracious generosity.

Please pray for me and for this ministry! Thank you for your past support, and I plead for your help in the future. There is a vitally crucial work that we have left to do. Please send any prayer requests or donations to the address below.

Maranatha!

May God bless you and your family richly!

In the work of the Master,
