My Way

[Job 23:10, Mk  8:34]

 

 

 

/ By Priscilla

 

 

Praise the Lord!

 

 

Do you believe the

Holy Spirit is with us now?

 

 

Brother and sisters

it’s my pleasure to be

here to share

 

 

the word of God under

the title of “The Way” 

 

 

“But  he knew that way I take,

when he was tested me

I will come form as gold.”

(Job 23:10)

 

 

I’m going to tell you

my testimony that

I was born -again.

 

 

When I was to 10yrs,

my father passes away.

 

 

As soon as he passed away,

I accepted Jesus Christ

as my Saviour and

as my Lord.

 

 

I realized that I was

close to God day by day.

 

 

However, from age 17 to

just before I was married.

 

 

I wandered here and there

without going to church

regularly.

 

 

Even thought I want to

church as a nominal christian.

 

 

I couldn’t have

peace in my mind.

 

 

I was really dry and thirsty

in the spiritual world

 

 

and I couldn’t solve the

problem until I got

married. 

 

 

At that time, I met people

who was a non-christian

as well as his family.

 

 

To make matters worse

his grand parents

worshipped idols,

 

 

and his mother was

suffering from serious

disease.

 

 

Nobody knew

about her agony.

 

 

I was shocked about that,

in spite of knowing their

struggle I made up my mind

to get married to him

 in 1978.

 

 

After married,

the most problem was

that she couldn’t do

anything by herself.

 

 

Only she had to be in her bed

day and night for a long time.

 

 

(e.g. She couldn’t have the meal

and go to the toilet by herself.) 

 

 

Of course

my father -in-law

had to serve her.

 

 

All the time beside of her.

It was not easy.

 

 

But he couldn’t complain

taking care of her. 

 

 

Although I was trying

to make her comfortable.

 

 

She sometimes

I was cried out

with great pain.

 

 

When

she was very depressed

I was depressed too

and felt broken hearted.

 

 

Furthermore I was struggling

with the problems and

the power of darkness.

 

 

I was really burnt-out.

So, I had no more hope,

no vision and do not wish

to live to any more.

 

 

But, surely our father God,

doesn’t forget our petition

with tears. 

 

 

One day the Holy Spirit

came to my mind to

comfort me.

 

 

I confessed my sins that

I didn’t follow him

a long time.

 

 

On that day I felt refreshing

and experienced born-again

as God’s mercy.

 

 

So, I reaccepted Jesus as

 my wonderful Saviour. 

 

 

Sooner or later,

I persuaded my parents

-in -law and they agreed.

 

 

After much prayer they

believed in Jesus.

 

 

Thanks to God!

 

 

After that though her pain

still persisted we were all 

of our family really enjoyed

good relationship

 

 

and united one another

in the Holy Spirit,

 

 

for 14years,

thought we were faced

with a lots of problems.

 

 

We overcame every situation

because we could all

rejoice in the Lord.

 

 

The reason why,

there was peace and joy

at home.

 

 

Finally,

she passed away

in my arms. 

 

 

I’m sure she have

gone to heaven.

 

 

At last 15days after

she passed a way

 

 

I enter the

theological seminary

through the examination

by God’s calling. 

 

Sometimes,

 

I missed my mother-in-law

because I could find the truth 

of God through her agony.

 

 

We witnessed the grace

of God in her life.

 

 

Surely, she was a seed

of meal as a sacrifice

offering before God.

 

 

As a result, our family

became all christians

including my husband.

 

 

Finally,

he became pastor

as a servant of God!

 

 

Hallelujah!

 

 

Now, when I look back

through my life,

 

 

God gave me a good training

of observation through

my circumstances. 

 

 

Furthermore,

I think that when

I met the Holy Spirit

it was 'turning point'

in my life.

 

 

I realized that only

without Him,

I am nothing. 

 

 

I’m sure it was the best

way to follow Jesus.

 

 

Therefore, today God

also tells me that

 

 

 

“If anyone

would come after me

he must deny himself

 

 

and take up his cross

and follow me.” 

(Mk 8:34)

 

 

Amen
