儿子中度弱智 和 Delivered from Darkness

长子政麟约两岁时，医生告诉们，他是一位中度弱智的儿童。病因不知道，可能是先天的脑部发育不健全。我们听了很伤心，想尽办法医治他，给他吃西药丶中药，气功治病，针灸等等都没有效。



政麟三岁，我们一家搬回澳洲，因为这里的特别教育设备比香港好。在一个朋友家里，遇到一对宣教士，他们很关心我们，为我祷告，说：「耶稣可以治病。」还送了一本新约圣经给我，叫我每晚读圣经给儿子听。因爱儿心切，我甚麽办法都试，就由马太福音开始，每晚读一页圣经给儿子听。读了三个月，才因去香港度假而停止。我记得当读到约翰福音第九章一至六节，门徒问耶稣说：「老师，这个人生下来便双目失明，是因为他犯了罪，还是他父母犯了罪呢？」耶稣说：「不是他犯了罪，也不是他父母犯了罪，乃是上帝要在他身上显露祂的作为。」我看了很安慰，虽不明白，却引起了寻找神的心。



我对神，对圣经还有很多问题和猜疑，但神一直为我打开门，给我机会认识祂。在墨尔砵，好友蒙娜带我们去教会。陈牧师丶师母和教会兄弟姊妹的爱心令我们感动，继续参加聚会。《中信》月刊解答很多信仰的疑问。搬来雪梨後，更得朋友带去查经班研读圣经。这两年来，我感觉到神打开我的眼睛，开放我的心，我很感动，向主耶稣认罪，接受耶稣为我救主。



以前听见证，总以为有甚麽奇迹听，但每次都失望，他们的故事都很平凡。现在我体会到甚麽是神的奇迹。环境没有改变，政麟还是一样。不一样的是我对事情的看法和态度。从政麟身上我学到的功课，学到忍耐，学到无条件的爱。从失望和无助中，神给我安慰和力量，看到神的美意。虽然政麟没有正常人的智慧，但是他的内心是多麽天真无邪，时常欢乐，一点机心和私心都没有。我们平常人外表聪明漂亮，但是我们心内的美有多少呢？



我肉眼看不到神，但是我的心感受到神。我现在很多时候看圣经，每次我的心都很感动。因为从中，我感受到神对我的爱，对我的安慰和教导。当我向神祷告的时候，我有平安喜乐。每当我心事重重，向神祷告时，我心里的结就解开了。我现在对人生有信心，因为有主耶稣伴我们一家走人生的旅途。我们知道，死後有永生，有主的同在。

Delivered from Darkness





Chintav and Ranjita wanted nothing to do with Prateeksha, the Gospel for Asia missionary who had a habit of visiting them at their home and telling them about Jesus. Although Chintav and Ranjita responded to the woman missionary with mockery and opposition, Prateeksha continued to spend time with them and share words of encouragement from the Bible.



Prateeksha had every intention of winning their friendship and trust, and she would not give up easily.



One day Chintav suddenly became possessed by demons. He began acting strangely toward his family. He kept his tongue out of his mouth and also had a clear inability to think straight. Then his health started deteriorating rapidly. Ranjita was extremely worried and took Chintav to witch doctors for healing, but the mystics were not able to use their powers to release her husband from the evil spirits.



In the midst of her fear and discouragement, Ranjita remembered some calming words Prateeksha had shared with her and Chintav in the past. Ranjita asked Prateeksha to pray for Chintav, and Prateeksha saw this as an open door to share the Gospel with them once again.



After Prateeksha prayed for Chintav, the Lord freed him from the powers of Satan. Seeing God miraculously answer Prateeksha’s prayers softened Chintav’s and Ranjita’s hearts, and they then decided to follow Jesus.



The couple who once laughed at their local missionary now joyfully and faithfully worships the one true God with her.
