He said:
“I would say she did. Some things
happened which made me think so. She was talking to my sister in 2005 on the
phone and she said to her, ‘When you’re having your first child and I’m not
with you, know that the Holy Spirit is with you.’ My sister said, ‘What do you
mean, wherever you are in the world, you would fly to visit me.’ My mum said,
no. She then gave my sister a scripture to read, which my sister didn’t read
until after my mum had died. When she read it, it was Paul, the apostle,
addressing one of the churches; it read, “Dearly beloved, the time has come for
me to depart.”

That was freaky. I also remember
right before they boarded the plane, she was telling her personal assistant
about each of us, her children, in details, and her PA was wondering why she
was talking that way about her kids. Also, the last birthday she had with my
father was his 49th birthday in 2005. She said God had told her to celebrate
him big. People usually marked a 50th birthday in a big way. But she organised
a big celebration as if it was dad’s 50th birthday; not knowing that it was the
last birthday celebration she would have with my dad, that she would not be
around for his 50th birthday.”
