Our Testimony 新生命見證集

Becky Chen   Santa Ana 牧區

居家隔離讓很多人神經緊繃留在家裡不敢出門 ，我也不例外。但是同時有一個美好的信息傳來，令我愉悅不已。 就是「主耶穌邀請我們跟祂一起過逾越節」。 這個信息使我像個小女孩聽故事，興奮期待著美好結局的來到 ，也安心穩當地知道我們必經過死蔭的幽谷，卻不遭害。

不獨有偶的，我的身體某部位發生皮膚搔癢變色的皮膚病變，而且越來越嚴重。由於疫情的緣故醫生不開診，我用電話諮詢了兩位醫師並看過我的患部照片，他們都極力建議我做切片檢查，我自己從Google裡了解到我很可能得到癌症了。至此，我決定從逾越節到五旬節，每天領聖餐與主親密，並提醒自己，神所立的約不會改變、祂的醫治必完全、祂的救恩全備、祂的慈愛直到永遠！

終於五月中旬看到了醫生，也擦了藥。醫生說過兩星期若是沒有好轉，下次看診就要做切片檢查。我堅持每天領聖餐，在主裡尋求恩愛與醫治，並記念大大小小的事，包括家人教會和國家。那短暫與主相遇的時刻真是美好 ！

五旬節到了，天開了，答案揭曉了，興奮的時刻來到了。我的皮膚擦了藥之後有好轉，直到五旬節那天皮膚顏色也恢復到原貌了。雖然約醫生複診的時間還沒有到，但是我知道並宣告我已經得醫治了。哈利路亞！

持續五十多天的領聖餐，讓我真正體會到神付出的代價、犧牲和愛、還有大能。聖餐不再只是禮儀形式，而是把我拉進祂的同在、真正與祂有份。最後告訴大家我終於一個人喝掉了一整瓶紅酒🍷 ❤️

後記，已得到醫師的確診，沒有得癌症的疑慮了。感謝主

Hi church friends,

I wanted to share a testimony about what God did this Sunday, June 28, 2020.

At about 11 am, as I was about to listen to Pastor Andrew on the Sunday sermon online, a friend of mine called me. 

Something led me to answer the phone where I would normally call back later. Victor, my Caribbean friend of many years living in San Jose, CA, called to say he didn’t return my call yesterday because he was helping a friend to pack and move to Florida. He then shared with me that he had slammed the truck door on his finger and he was in pain. He said he couldn’t sleep all night because his finger was badly swollen and he could not even touch it.

Having watched a video about a teaching about God’s desire to have a close relationship with every person willing to receive Him through Jesus and His willingness to demonstrate that love with healing, I offered to pray for Victor and his hand and he accepted. As I prayed for him, I felt God’s love for him and I commanded the swelling and pain to leave him and for his hand to be healed, in the name of Jesus.

After the prayer, Victor said that the swelling was going down and he was able to move his fingers. He also said the pain had reduced by 50%. Remembering how in scripture Jesus prayed multiple times for a person and the testimony in the video about a person who was in a wheel chair for 20 years in Syracuse who was prayed for 25 times and in the end she walked out of that church without using the wheelchair, I resolved to keep praying with my friend’s permission. With each prayer, my friend confirmed that the pain and swelling reduced. After about 7 or 8 times, he said he was able to move his fingers and that the pain was mostly gone and the swelling by 70%. He also said he could now touch his hand whereas last night he could not even touch it.

We praised God together and I told him I really sensed God’s love for him and desire to have close relationship with him. He said he would pray and thank God later. As he had a customer (he was selling household goods at a flea market) we got off the phone. I praise God I had the opportunity to share God’s love and hope that my friend gets closer to God through the experience.  I hope this testimony encourages our church members to keep taking risks and pray for those who are sick around you. Praise the Lord.

    我是一個代禱者，但是每當教會有禁食禱告的時候 我總是用”禁喝”咖啡來替代，常常内心感覺非常的虧欠。由於我一直都有血糖的問题，所以三餐必須要按時吃，否則就會出現一些狀況，那是非常恐怖的。就連因為要驗血而無法吃早餐，都會出現盗汗虚脱等現象。因此對於”禁食禱告”我總以”禁喝咖啡”來代替。

    但是今年三月份，教會舉辦21天逾越節前的禁食活動時，我心裡就打算再來二十一天的”禁喝”活動吧!。對於愛喝咖啡的我來說，這也算是一大挑戰!

想不到，有一天當我在靈修時，神藉祂僕人對我説:「神為你預備了豐盛的宴席，而且單單邀你一人参加，要與主同坐席。」並且讓我看到一張逾越節的宴席照片，我裡面被觸動，有種很特别的感覺，有個微小的聲音對我說:「要不要試試禁食? 也許不會有任何副作用? 說不定會成功」於是我就姑且一試先從禁早餐開始。结果一天、二天、三天我竟然豪不費力完成二十一天的禁食活動。感謝讚美主!正如路1:37因為出於神的話 沒有一句不帶有能力的。

    因着Covid19的原因，我每天哪也不能去，反而有更多的時間親近主。在禁食禱告21天裡幾乎没有間断，因此也養成每天上午藉著敬拜、禱告來到天父寶座前，向祂傾心吐意，這變得比以前容易多了。有時立刻進入至聖所，對主說主我愛祢、愛祢、愛祢。且將自己献上成為活祭，求主使用剩餘的年日，好叫我完成神對我的呼召及命定，讓我這一生不會空手見主面。真的，沒有比愛主親近主更能叫我得到满足。主 祢是知道的，我願為祢而活.
