遵行必蒙福--林中煌的見證 (下)
作者：林中煌 翻譯：小米
我相信 神的大能必不讓我們的盼望羞恥，大家看我們傻了，但 神必不讓我們失望，我跟媽說妳的日子還沒到，我們要同心禱告求神醫治，以後要到處為神做見證。她才願意求 神的醫治，我們同心宣告禱告，有股像電流的東西透過我的手流向媽的頭，她覺的頭熱熱的，感謝主！神醫治，我真心希望那是 神的醫治降臨。
在我們一直為了找醫師幫忙申請外傭而努力時， 神提醒我們要跟醫師照實說實際的情況，不要耽誤了真正的病情，我也覺得她的病情應該是有改善，想帶她去醫院再做次檢查，也好知道我們該如何來進行下一步的治療與照顧。於是我帶著媽去榮總複診，醫生跟據她的片子與病歷，判斷最久大約只有一年的時間，應該安排以後的看護，不過癌症已無法成為申請外傭的條件了。醫師為了更確定病情就再安排一次 MRI 檢查，看看結果如何再說。
聽完醫師的說明，我們的帶著沉重的心情離開醫院，媽說沒關係她已有心理準備了，她的表情讓我心中非常的難過，我跟 神求，請給媽多幾年喜樂而健康的年歲，賞賜的是耶和華，收取的也是耶和華，神已定好她的年歲，別讓她這樣的離開， 神到時要接走ㄧ個充滿喜樂的她。我打起精神，鼓起信心，繼續的每天跟她一起禱告，感謝主！在安排照 MRI 的事上神掌權，從照 MRI 與門診掛號看報告，非常神奇且順利的只有四天就完成了，而且是在我回加拿大的前一天。這樣我就可以根據檢查的結果，安排是否留下幫忙還是安心的回去。
去看報告的當天，約 11 點我們就到了醫院，輪到媽的號碼還要等很久，我們雖沒甚麼胃口，我還是拉媽去餐廳吃個午飯，卻也食不知味，心裡七上八下，我們就互相鼓勵，還有個共同的希望﹝照 MRI 的當天晚上，醫院就來電話，說照的片子有問題，第二天一大早趕著去補照，是不是醫院沒照到甚麼，醫生覺得奇怪才又要重照一次呢？﹞
下午約一點，終於輪到我們看診，進去坐好後，醫生從電腦中調出我媽的片子，看了看，「最近還有在吃類固醇嗎？」醫生問，我回答說：「吃了五天就停了。」醫生咦！的一聲說：「腫瘤完全不見了？」她一直看著片子，喃喃自語：「類固醇也沒有這種效果！」「難道是發炎？但發炎不會是這樣子，奇怪了！」「感謝主！哈利路亞！神醫治她了。」我跟醫師說，她笑笑做了個無奈的表情，也不知該說甚麼，她想了一會說：「那你們三個月後來複診，其間如沒甚麼問題就不用來了」。 神垂聽我們的禱告， 祂是信實的，主我讚美你！我和媽帶著興奮的心情和快飄起來的腳步離開醫院，我馬上發了短訊給哥告訴他這天大的好消息。回到家中，台灣親友、教會的會友、美國親戚，都打電話來問檢查結果，「誤診吧？」「吃了甚麼東西呀？」「哦....那太好了！」「感謝主！」大家非常驚訝的回覆，我媽開心的告訴他們「是的！神醫治了我，這次我是真信了！」。
可11:22-24 耶穌回答說：「你們當信服 神。我實在告訴你們，無論何人對這座山說：『你挪開此地，投在海裏！』他若心裏不疑惑，只信他所說的必成，就必給他成了。所以我告訴你們，凡你們禱告祈求的，無論是甚麼，只要信是得著的，就必得著。
第二天媽就去教會姐妹會做見證，感謝神的醫治！感謝主給她一個新的生命！是的， 神的大能與真實叫人無可推諉，這次體會到在聖經中紀載耶穌所行的神蹟是如此的真實，我要感謝如此多的弟兄姐妹替我媽代禱，只要我們做好基督徒該做的事，就是信心的禱告， 神就做祂的事，那就是神蹟。(完)
Blessed Are The Obedient--A Testimony From Tom Lin
Written by Tom Lin Translated by Naomi
I believed the almighty God would not disappoint us. Many people thought I was insane, but I knew God would not forsake us. I told my Mum, “Your days on earth are not over.” We should pray together for God’s healing power, so we could become God’s witness in the future. She finally agreed to pray for divine healing. We were proclaiming God’s victory together. And then, something like an electric current transformed from my hands to my Mum’s head. She felt her head was very warm. Praise the Lord! God is able! I was sincerely hoping that was God’s healing power.
When we were busy because of looking for a caregiver, God reminded us to trust our doctors. We openly shared the situation of my Mum so that the doctors could make right decisions. I also felt that my Mum was slowly recovering. I planed to get her further examinations. We hoped to figure out what to do next. I then took my mum to Taipei Veterans General Hospital again. According to all records, the doctor told us that my Mum could live maximum one year. The doctor suggested us to plan ahead for future. However, cancer patient was no longer qualified for hiring a caregiver. The doctor decided to take another MRI in order to get more details from my Mum. He would give us more advices after that.
After heard the report, we were depressed. We left the hospital. My Mum told me that she was ready for anything. Her facial expression made me very sad. I prayed to God. I asked him to give my Mum a few years more. I asked him to bless my Mum with joy and health. God gives, and he takes away. God had a plan for my Mum’s days on earth. I asked the Lord not to take my Mum away right now. I prayed to the Lord for blessing her a joyful life. And then, if the Lord took her away, she would leave us with a cheerful mind. I took courage to keep praying for my Mum. My Mum and I continuously believed in Christ. Praise the Lord! The MRI smoothly operated. It took only four days for us to complete the whole process from registration to final report. The report was ready one day before my flight to Canada. Therefore, I did have time to decide if I would leave for Canada or not.
On the day of checking the report, we reached the hospital around 11am. It took long time before my Mum could meet our doctor. We didn’t have much appetite. However, I took my Mum for lunch anyway. We did not enjoy our food because we were worry about the report. We encouraged each other, and we reminded ourselves for the hope in Christ. (We had received a call from the doctor. We were told our precious MRI had some problems. We took a new MRI the day after. May be the doctor did not find anything from my Mum’s MRI, so they needed a new one?)
Our time for doctor’s appointment was at 1pm. We entered clinic to settle down. Our doctor checked the record from his computer. He took a close look of all the records. He asked us, “Are you taking some steroid drugs nowadays?”I replied him, “We had 5 days of steroid drugs, and then we stopped taking it.” “How come?!”, our Doctor was amazed, “The tumour is gone.”She looked at the records again. “Even the steroid drugs do not have such effect.”, she said, “Was it an infection? It didn’t look like an infection at all. That is strange.” “Praise the Lord! Halleluiah! God has healed my Mum!”, I told the Doctor. She was smiling. She looked at me as I was telling her a fairly tale. She was searching an appropriate respond. And then, she asked us to visit her 3 months later. “If there is not any other problem at that time, you should be considered as fully recovered.” God listened to our prayers. He is faithful. I praise his name. My Mum and I were so exciting to leave the hospital. I sent a text message to my elder brother. After we were home, our friends and families from Taiwan and U.S. called us for more details. Our brothers and sisters in Christ were also very happy to know the good news. “Did they make a mistake?”, “What did you eat?”, “That is great!”, “Praise the Lord!”, many people were surprised. My Mum happily told them, “Yes, God has healed me. Now, I have to believe in his healing power.”
According to Mark 11:22-24, Jesus answered: “Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
Next day, Mum shared her testimony with sisters in church. Praise the Lord and his mighty power. Praise the Lord for giving her a new life! Yes, the power of God is great. It is so real that no one can deny it. His healing made us experience the teachings of Jesus Christ. The stories in Bible became alive in our life. I need to express my gratitude towards my brothers and sisters in church. I truly appreciate their prayers for my Mum. Through my journey, I have learned that we need to do what we are called for, which is praying to the Lord with faith. God would do what he needs to do, performing miracles. (The End)
