Five-year-old dreams of heaven, confirms ‘Heaven is for Real’ account, Akiane’s painting of Jesus

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (ANS - November 9, 2016)
-- Her husband’s untimely death from a rare form of cancer left her
reeling. As she wallowed in grief, seeking God’s presence, her
five-year-old had several vivid dreams about heaven (and hell) that
buoyed her faith in the Lord.
Uyen
“Wyn” Tran and her husband Ton lived in Australia for 30 years
following their arrival from Vietnam. He was a mechanical engineer and
she a pharmacist, fulfilling their dreams in a land of fresh
opportunities, when they received unexpected and devastating news.
In
2013, Ton was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer growing in his nose
and throat. He was given four months to live. Ton was not a believer
during their eight years of marriage, but two months before he died he
accepted Jesus as his Savior and Lord.
“By
God’s grace he lived a year,” Wyn recounts. “When he passed away, I was
so devastated. I believed with all my heart he would be healed.” Some
of their friends also believed he would be healed and even thought they
saw a vision of him cured, testifying about his healing.
But it was not to be. On February 13, 2014 – one day before Valentine’s Day — he passed into the arms of Jesus.
Because
of Wyn’s overwhelming confidence he would be healed, Ton’s passing
undercut her faith. “I held on to that (his healing) with every ounce of
belief. When he actually passed away I couldn’t figure it out. For
three days I was in a daze,” she says.
“Please give me a dream or vision,” she cried out to God, desperate for His reassurance.
The dream came from an unlikely source – her five-year-old son, Kieran.
On
Sunday morning Kieran woke up and came running into her room. “I saw
dad and he was in heaven. It was beautiful mom. He was with God,” he
said, breathlessly.
