After I have believed in Jesus, I have received lots of blessing from God. I therefore decided to get baptized very soon. The faith I had was so strong that I could stop all medication at one time. However, since the medication I took was addictive, it was not easy at all to live without them. But God gave me the power to go through this. God’s spirit had completely filled my heart and my “friend” could have no chance to visit me anymore.
Stopped Going to Church
After a while, I have changed my job. Since I became more and more busy with my job, I stopped going to Sunday services. But I did continue to pray and read the Bible every day. Later, since my job was too busy, I even stopped going to cell group. But God’s peace and the security given by Him didn’t leave me. I knew that He was with me all the time when I faced all those new challenges in my new life.
A Crazy Vacation
I am a person who likes exciting games. I had a crazy idea that I must try bungee jump at least one time in my life. One time, I went to Japan with a friend and we therefore were very eager to try those rides in the amusement parks.
We saw the advertisement there, which was very attractive to us. Such as “ the fastest roller coaster in the world “, “ the highest roller coaster in the world” , “ a horrifying psychiatric hospital”, “ a house of the spirits where visitors crying and running for emergency escape”. I wanted to try all of them!
We tired roller coaster first. We tried to estimate from the ground level and found that it should be more or less the same as those in Hong Kong. So we tried without any hesitation. After we had climbed up the slope, we found something strange. The roller coaster stopped for quite a while and we didn’t understand why, until we saw a notice there saying, “You are now 100 meters away from ground level and we are going to rush down at 180 degree at super speed! “
Too late, it was already too late to escape!
Then we played another roller coaster, which was at light speed. As the ride started to move, I could feel the speed was almost intolerable.
I would have collapsed if this went on for more than a few seconds!
After these two games, in fact, I thought may be I could not continue anymore. But, we thought that it was not easy to come here, so we played one more game. Then came the fourth game, which was that “horrifying house of the spirits”. We were just at the entrance of the house. We could hear lots and lots of screaming and many visitors tried to escape from the emergency exit. It was very clear to us that this game was really exceptionally horrifying. So, we finally made up our minds for not trying anymore.
After having these experiences, I had already given up the “bungee jump“ idea!
This crazy journey passed very quickly. We were on the plane flying back to Hong Kong. I was asleep on the plane.
Suddenly, I woke up in great panic!
“Why? Why? Why am I here? What am I doing? Why am I on the plane? Where am I going? Will the plane crash? “
I was in total lost. I used my will power to suppress these thoughts. However, another thinking then came into my mind. “What am I going to do tomorrow? I will just be doing the same thing as today. How about the day after tomorrow then? It will be the same again, I will be doing the same thing everyday over and over again. What is the meaning of this? What will life be in heaven? It would just be the same everyday, repeating doing the same thing every day even if we are in heaven, and we have to live like this until eternity! “
These thoughts were all compulsive, totally not out of my own will. It just happened in a few seconds and I could not control it at all. This was caused by the “friend “I always mention about.
I was totally broken down. So I started to pray. But I could not get any help from God! The peace from God had left me totally! I was in total despair and returned to Hong Kong with just an empty body!
My life and my mind would always look to the negative side. What had gone wrong? Have I done anything wrong?
Since then, my mind was filled with all kinds of strange thoughts and I was living in alert at all the time.
For example, when I was travelling on the bus on a bridge over the sea, I would plan in my mind how to escape if the bus rushed down into the sea. The windows on the buses many years ago could be opened. But nowadays the buses are all air-conditioned with fixed windows. Then I searched in my mind how to escape if the bus rushed down into the sea. I could find hammers on the buses and therefore I planned to break the windows to escape! If I was travelling on the ferry, I would plan all the steps to save my life if the ferry sunk. If there was a big truck on the next lane of the road, I would plan how to escape from my car if the trunk fell down on us!
What could I do? I could do nothing to control these negative thoughts. I could only think from the positive side and said to myself, “ May be this would keep me safe if I have this sense of alertness all the time. “
Heads up for next chapter: After I came back to Hong Kong, I immediately called a brother at church to help me and pray for me. He explained to me that playing in such crazy games was the same as opening our hearts for Satan to come in again.
So I went back to cell group meeting again. But something strange happened. What was this? The brother prayed with me very often, hoping to find out why this situation would come back.
Pastors and brothers prayed earnestly together for me, helping me to break the fear and the evil spirit inside my heart.
What was the outcome? There were even believers and preachers from other churches coming to help me too.
But disappointment came one after another. How long could I hang on? Next chapter, the Spiritual Warfare.
Mr. Ice Cream
Notes from editor: May be you will ask, “ why didn’t God help him when he was crying on the plane ? “ We have seek advice from our Pastor and the following is the advice from our Pastor.
Let us try to think from this angle. The author was saved by Jesus but had left his new family, i.e. the Church. Although he prayed and read the Bible by himself everyday, God established His Church with the aim to let us grow in the love and support of our brothers and sisters. God’s will was not for us to grow alone by ourselves. If God answered the author’s prayer at that time, would the author misunderstand that he can survive with his own faith to God? Therefore, God was not punishing him or testing him, but leading him to go back to His big family. The Church is God’s family, any believer who is distant from this big family can be easily broken by the devil!
信了住後，因得到了很大的祝福，所以很快便接受洗禮。這時的信心，使我能一次過停止服用所有的藥物。當然，也是很困難才能捱過，因我服用的藥物是會上癮的。而我那位『朋友』也好像沒有機會來打擾我，因為主的靈，把我內心的深處完全地充滿。
不久後，我轉換了工作，工作量日漸增加，有時星期日也需要上班，所以漸漸地停止了返主日崇拜。但我每天都沒有忘記神，有禱告和讀經。但後來連小組聚會也停止了，因為實在太過忙碌了。但主的平安和安穩是沒有離開我的，每天都陪伴着我，面對不同的挑戰。
我是個愛好刺激的人，所以我總覺得一生人要玩一次『笨豬跳』才算沒白費。有一次，我和朋友去日本旅行，當然不會放過玩一些刺激的機動遊戲的機會！我們去了一個樂園，有幾個遊戲是因刺激、恐怖而聞名的。那些宣傳都是甚麼『全球時速最快的過山車』、『全球最高的過山車』、『兩隻腳沒有支撐位的過山車』、『恐怖古舊的精神病院』、『很多人都要找緊急出口的鬼屋』…我統統都想玩！
我們第一個玩的是過山車，在地下看，覺得和香港的差不多，所以毫不考慮便玩了。上了斜才發覺有點不對勁，為何停了這麼久也未下斜？然後我們發現了車的右邊有個告示牌，寫着『你們已上了離地面100米，即將以差不多180度極速衝下去！』這時，想下車已沒機會了…..
之後，我們又玩了第二個遊戲。我們在地上看，覺得應該不會太刺激的，所以又去玩了。車子開了，原來這車以好像光速般行走，我這時已預料到，等到了終點前，我應該已撐不住了。幸好，原來這光速速度只維持幾秒。
玩完這兩個遊戲，其實已有點撐不住了，但總覺得不易到來嘛，就玩了第三個，不過，這個沒有前兩個那麼恐怖。到了第四個遊戲，我們進了門口，已聽到很多尖叫聲，和有些人在緊急出口逃走。好明顯，這鬼屋真是非一般的驚嚇！所以我們決定不玩這個游遊戲了。嘗試了在這樂園玩的經驗後，我已經打消了『笨豬跳』這念頭了！
幾日的旅程，很快便結束。我們乘機回香港。在飛機上，我睡著了。突然…………
我無故恐慌地醒了，這時在我腦中的想法是………『 為何 ? 為何 ? 為何我在這裏 ? 我是誰 ? 為何會在飛機上 ? 我去了那裏 ? 飛機會撞嗎 ？我現在要去那？』我好像去了一個完全陌生的地方 ！我便用我的意志去努力克制。 但又有另一個想法出現，明天又要做今天的事，後天又重覆着差不多的事，意義何在？……就算死了，去了天堂也會有類似的不安感覺吧？天堂也會有陌生的感覺吧？即使去了天堂，還不是類似的循環？如果在天堂每天都要做相同類似的事，而且還要直到永遠….？
以上的強迫想法不是出於自願的，而是在幾秒之內發生的，這就是我時常提及的『朋友』在作怪！
去到這裏，我的腦神經已完全崩潰了，我便立時禱告，求主打破這時的情況，可惜失敗了，我完完全全地得不到神的回應和幫助！而且在我內心深處的平安完全失掉了！像沒有了靈魂的軀殼，我只帶着一個虛空的身體回來！
回港後我即時通知教會的弟兄協助我，他告訴我，其實玩過份刺激的玩意，等於開了門口給撒旦機會再次進來。
我的人生，我的腦子，總會向負面看，是出自自願、想得太多 ?
我坐巴士的時候，一經過海上的天橋，就會預算若果這巴士會跌下海，我會怎樣逃生。很久之前的巴士，只要不關窗便可以游泳逃走。而現在的冷氣巴士是開不到窗的，我竟又留意到巴士上有些位置是放置了鎚的，那我又會想，在巴士跌下時一定要用鎚打破玻璃，然後游泳逃離！如搭船又會想到撞船，連萬一船隻下沈，應怎樣逃走的步驟都想好了！又如搭車時，每當有貨櫃車等大型車輛在旁行駛，總會想到那大型車輛倒下時，要立刻由車子逃出來！我只能盡量向好的一方面想，這些可能是我『那位朋友』加給我的危機意識啦！
可能有些讀者看到這裏，會問為何神不幫助我呢？現在我回想起來，才明白這是衪巧妙的安排，因為日後我的遭遇和遇到的患難，使我更經歷到祂的奇妙。在之後的幾集裏，我會再交待的。(註 1)
下一集強勢預告：再次返回小組聚會，卻又發生了突發的事情！到底是甚麽事？弟兄時常陪伴我禱告，想找出那位『朋友』回來的因由。牧師和弟兄同心合力為我祈禱，要打破我心中的牆和恐懼，和那不清潔的靈，結果如何? 其他教會的弟兄及傳道人也來給予幫助，每一個希望，但又帶來失望！我還能撐下去嗎?
下一集 別問我 是誰 ( 9 ) 屬靈的戰爭
兵奇臨
註１：編者也曾就此訪問牧師，牧師給了我們另一個角度去思考這問題。試想，作者在得救之後，離開了新的家，即教會，雖然他每天都有祈禱和讀聖經，但神所以設立教會，為的是使我們在信徒相交之中成長、相愛和支援，神的心意從來不是讓信徒單獨去成長的。若然神在這時刻應允了他，是否他就會以為單獨一人，靠着自己對神的信心就可以呢？所以，神不是懲罰他或考驗他，而是引渡他回歸祂的大家庭之中。教會就是神的家、耶穌的身體，凡遠離了神的家或脫離了耶穌身體的基督徒，魔鬼就能輕易地把他撃碎，因為他離了神的保護網，孤單一人。有云：一枝竹仔會易折彎，幾枝一扎斷折難。心堅智毅勇敢，亦要不忘團結方可有力量，更何況是遠離了神的家呢？（參約15:5-6；彼前5:8；來10: 24）

Category 見證分享 Testimony |
The most special thing about the Year End Prayer and Thanksgiving Meeting is a feeling of “ happiness “ and “ warmth “. That evening, brothers and sisters had prepared dinner for us. (Thank you so much!) Just imagine you had worked hard all day, and you saw the fine and home made dishes when you stepped in Unit One. The feeling was so comfortable, so relax, and we really felt like coming home. Just check out the pictures from the Photo Gallery, you will find the smiling on our faces was so contented. Yes, it was this sense of happiness that filled the air.
Moreover, we could listen to many testimonies that evening. Normally during Sunday service, we could hear not more than three testimonies at most because of the time concern. However, that night, almost of all us lined up at the front row to give our testimonies. Even the shyest one would go up to the stage and shared his story. We were amazed at God’s work in our lives. You will not know what is happening with our brothers and sisters if you could not hear their stories.
If you have missed this prayer meeting, do not miss it again in the coming year!
今 年 的 年 終 感 恩 祈 禱 會 最 特 別 的 地 方 是『幸福』和『溫暖』。當晚有兄姊妹為我們預備晚餐( 多謝啊！) 嗯，你是否有—份辛苦了一整天，回到家就有飯吃的幸福感呢？你看看圖片庫的照片，會否發現當晚大家的笑容是很和謚的？這種和謚的幸福感就是當晚的一種很特別的氣氛。
還有特別想提一提的，是當晚聽到很多的見證。平常的主日比較少聽見證，因時間所限，最多都只能有是三兩個見證。但今晚卻可以聽到幾十位弟兄姊妹的見證，心裏有種很感恩的感覺，原來神在弟兄姊妹的生命中做了很多的工作，真是不聽就不會知道的！初時出來講見證的都有點害羞，但見到弟兄姊妹排著隊來講見証，就連較害羞的也會上台講，你說有多好呢！今年錯過了的，記著來年不可再錯過了！

6A Reunion Kids’ Kitchen has been held on 9th Jan already. Special thanks to Pamela and Fiona from Catering Team for teaching us how to make the pizza ! Some of the kids here were just about 2 years old. Since our principle was to have parents learning how to give reasonable accountability to our kids, parents could only perform ” remote control ” by giving verbal instructions. It was really fun to have our kids being the real chef!
While we were making the pizzas, Fiona and Jessica, our 6A tutors, were taking video and observing us. Afterwards, we watched the video and shared how to apply 6A principles in our daily lives. Thank you Ah Ha, Yen and Molly for providing child caring service so we could have a very good sharing time.
I have received some positive feedback from one of the parents and would like to share with you here. She shared that her husband was unexpectly involved this time. The fathers in other couples’ sharing groups they had been to before were mostly quieter. But here the fathers were very willing to share so making her husband felt more comfortable and thus easier to participate in the event.
Thank you so much for your sharing and your words of encouragement !

6A 重 聚 親子廚房已在1月9日舉行啦。當天，膳食組玉霞姐姐和 Fiona 姐姐教家長和小朋友做意式簿餅。當中好幾位小朋友都只有兩歲多，但我們的原則是，家長要學習把孩子應負的責任，放手給他們自己去做，所以爸爸媽媽們只能『聲控』，孩子真的要『落手落腳』去做。
導師 Fiona 和 Jessica 則從旁把情況拍攝和觀察，之後和家長們重看錄影片段，及討論和分享怎樣在日常生活中應用6A原則。導師們，謝謝您們的付出啊！
還有霞姐姐，Yen 姐姐和 Molly 姐姐協助我們照顧小朋友呀！
我收到其中一位家長的回應，她說她的丈夫今次難得的投入，以前參加過的夫婦學習小組，男士們大多比較少說話，但這兒的爸爸都很樂意分享，所以也能令她的丈夫容易投入。
謝謝家長的回應，很鼓勵我們呢！

Category 活動花絮 Activities Recap |
My situation was continually getting worse. My mother tried her best to find a way out without giving up. She consulted a medium about what happened to me. The medium told us that I had offended an evil spirit and it was not a big problem. She suggested to me to drink some tea made from joss stick ashes. It did not work.
My mother also invited a monk from Tibet to my house. He said it was because of the bad Fung Shui in my house that caused the problem. He touched my back with an unknown power. I could feel a great heat at my back. He said that I would be all right. But what was the outcome?
Then, we went to see the Bai Long Wang, a very well know man who is believed to have super strong spiritual power in Thailand. He told us that there was “ a mother with a son “ following us all the way. And at that moment, they were waiting for us at the entrance of his office. I am not as silly as this to believe such ridiculous things. So I asked him why they did not get rid of us and when did they start to follow us? He said, “It is not the time yet. They are “ evil spirits of trees “. You need to avoid all kinds of plants.” As there was no other solution, we followed his instructions.
Later, he came to my house and conducted a ceremony for driving out the evil spirits. They put Thai incantations on our door. He insisted that I had to sit inside a circle built with candles and should not leave the circle. I felt very uneasy and there was another power coming into my body, which was greater than the one inside me. I could feel that the two powers were fighting. I wanted to leave the circle but I did not. I also saw that Bai Long Wang was very exhausted. May be, he had already tried his best.
After that, not only was my situation not improved, strange things happened to me even more frequently. One time, I was like a mad man running down from the 10th floor to the ground in our building within just a few seconds. My family members were taking a lift trying to catch me but they were still not as fast as me. Fortunately, they informed the security guard to catch me and I was therefore saved. Another time, I held my mother’s neck and talked in an unknown language, which was not English or Chinese. I did know that I did this to my mother until my family members told me. It seemed that this was done by another person.
Also, another time, I was with my friend at my place. Then, we went out together. When we were waiting for the lift, I got a phone call and I saw the number was my home number. I told my friend that it was my family calling me so we headed back home. When we opened the door, we found something very strange. I started to realize that there should be no one at home ! We therefore ran away immediately. Although it happened many years ago, I am sure my friend would still remember this.
My mother knew a Christian friend at her work place. She knew my situation from my mother and desired to help me. My mother had been worshiping idols and she offered me to a Chinese goddess, Guanyin (a Bodhisattva) since I was very young. Because there was no way to help me, inevitably, she had to try Christianity. She talked to me about that many times but I refused. One day, she invited her colleague and three other church friends to my home without informing me, so I had to give some response to them unwillingly. I was not friendly to them at all and did not feel anything special when they sang worship songs. They asked me to pray with them and I just followed.
But, unexpectedly, when I tried to follow them saying, “in Jesus’ name I pray”, I immediately felt a power inside me stopping me to talk. I felt something was holding my neck not allowing me to talk. I was suffering and said, “No! No! I am in much pain! Leave me alone!” Then, I could not talk at all. The church friends urged me to speak out “ in Jesus’ name “ and I tried my best to do so, and I made it. After they left, I felt different powers inside me, making me sick. I didn’t have any solution.
I went on with my life without any direction. One day, I was drunk and was taken home by my friends as usual. Then, I was in bed. Suddenly, “I” woke up and knocked my face against the table corner near my bed. My hands hit on the mirror and broke it in pieces. At that moment, my blood was everywhere. My family reported that to the police. My family members, the police and the nursing officers held on to “me”. I was so strong that it was very difficult to stop me. After much struggling, finally, they were able to tie my hands and feet up and send me to the hospital. “I” was continually shouting and struggling for a while.
Then, “ I “ calmed down and after a while, “I” started to talk to my brother, “Brother, why do you treat me like that? Why do you treat your brother in this way? I am suffering! Please help me and set me free!” My brother looked at my eyes and listened to my voice tone. He realized that “I” was not normal so he did not release me. For a while, “I” started to shout loudly again.
Since I had a number of records for being hospitalized, my doctor suggested that after having had the operation, I should be sent to the ” sanatorium” again. But they could not force me to stay in there because I did not commit any crime. My family did not allow me to be sent to there again, of course.
Then after a while, I truly calm down and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, I felt extremely tried and strong pain with my hands. My face was also very painful. The only thing different was I realized that the evil power and the negative thoughts were not inside me anymore. I felt deep peace in my heart.
Then, a nurse told me that I was going to have an operation. I asked, “What is the operation for?” The nurse said, “Don’t you know that?” I really didn’t know why I needed an operation. The nurse told me that the operation was for rejoining my broken hand tendon. I was afraid of what caused my broken hand tendon. I did not know the reason until my family told me what happened!
You could not imagine how I could resist so many people with my broken hand tendon. What was the power in control of me? I and my family knew about that. This evil power deceived my brother by pretending to be pitiful.
I can tell you now that if it was not by God’s grace, I would have jumped out of the window and took my own life, and I would not be able to share with you about this witness anymore.
I was finally reborn again!! During the days staying at home for recovery, God was with me every day. The feeling of peace and security was so real. It could not be described by any word. After having received Jesus, I change a lot. My stubborn personality and hot-temper was disappeared.
I let go with my anger and bitterness. My Lord helped me to think through. I understand that if I am angry with every little thing, it will accumulate and become a huge hatred and bitterness inside my heart. That would break the peace in my soul and will damage my good nature. Therefore, I need to accept and forgive people when things go wrong. In this way, I will have fewer burdens in my life.
On the other hand, when our enemies are in failure and unable to regain their glory in the past, they have distresses in their heart. They would have no confidence. If at the same time, they need to face those people they hurt before, it is not easy. When I try to stand in their shoes, I can let go of my anger and hatred.
Regarding my brother, before I thought that there would be no chance to rebuild our brotherhood relationship. Now, when I think from another angle, I can understand that he might not be aware of what he said to me was hurting me. In our life, many people are not aware that they are hurting other people with their words, including myself. I am also thankful that it was because of my brother, I could get away from the ” sanatorium”.
My family also found that I am happier after I have received Jesus. I am also more forward looking with a clearer direction.
Heads up for next chapter: We need to put effort towards preserving the peace and security given by God. My job caused me going to church less and less. After having a spree, I was roused suddenly from sleep on the plane. What happened to me was even more terrible than before! Next Chapter (8): Going Astray
Mr. Ice Cream
我的情況一直向下，媽媽用盡她能打聽到的方法，不斷嘗試。她去找問米婆，那問米的說我了犯小人，沒大問題的，着我們燒衣紙和飲神茶，結果，當然是沒有用。
又請了西藏僧人來我家，他說是因家中的風水不好引起的。還在我背部發功，我全身感到一股熱力，他說以後便沒事了，結果呢？
後來又去見了泰國白龍王。他說有兩母子時常跟著我，還說這刻已在門口等着我。我也不是傻的，我問他，為何他們不幹掉我？何時跟上我的？他就說，還不是時候，還說他們是樹妖，所以所有樹木的植物，我都要回避。我只好照做。有一天還要在家中進行法事，在不同的木門上填上泰國符咒，要我坐在好多支蠟燭中間，他堅持吩咐我別要走出這陣。他一路唸咒的時候，我感到有些不安，和感覺到有一股力量，超越了那在我裏面的, 兩者似乎在抗衡着。我真的很想離開這陣看看有什麼，但堅持了沒有這樣做。事後，我也發現他好辛苦，可能真是盡了力啦。
之後我的情緒沒不但有改善，而且不可思議的事更為頻密。有一次，我像發了瘋一樣，在很短時間內由十幾樓狂奔到地下，家人連搭升降機都不夠我快，他們立時通知護衛不可給我逃脫！又有一次，我失了常地揑住媽媽的頸部，還說一些他們不懂聽的說話，不是英文，又不是中文，總之不知什麼語言。發生這些事時，我自己是豪不知情的，完全是好像另一個人作的，都是事後我家人告訴我，我才知道的。
又有一次，我在家中我和我的朋友在一起，然後我們一起出外，在等候升降機時，有電話致電給我，我看了來電顯示，原來是我家中的電話號碼，我便和我朋友說：『家人找我呀！』朋友就說：『那回去看看有甚麼事啦！』我們便回去，開了門，就發現不對勁了，這時才想起家中根本沒有人啊，何來會有人致電給我呢？於是我們立刻飛奔逃去！雖然事隔多年，我相信我的朋友也仍然記得的。
在媽媽在工作的地方，有一位是基督徙，她從我媽媽口中得知我這樣的情況，很想給予幫助。而我媽媽向來是不接受的，因為她一向都是拜神的，又曾把我過契給觀音。但因為我已到了很壞的地步，她只好連最不想的方法也一試。她跟我說了很多次，但我總找些理由去推擋。有一天，她唯有事先已約了她的同事和一些教會的弟兄姊妹，一共三人去了我的家中，我只好無奈地應酬他們。我用不客氣的態度和他們唱詩歌和禱告，我也不覺有甚麼特別。
但當禱告到最後那句『奉主耶穌基督名字祈求』時，我立刻感覺到有種力量使我不能說話，有東西控住我的頸部，不許我說似的，我好像啞了一般。我很辛苦，還說：『唔得呀！我很辛苦呀！你們走吧！』之後便停了下來。但在他們鼓勵之下，我終於說完了。在他們走了之後，這種令我很辛苦的力量還在，而這股力量和之前不斷突襲我的力量明顯不同，而我當然也沒有的解決方法。
還是迷迷糊糊的過着日子。有一天，我像平時一樣喝醉了，被朋友帶回家中，亦像平時一樣睡在床上。突然，『我』坐起了身，用臉部撞向床頭的枱角，立時血流披瞼！家人想立即阻止，但當時『我』的力量很大，還衝向洗手間，用手打破了很大塊的鏡子，這時的我，已四處染滿鮮血！家人報了案，警察和救護員也到了場，他們和我的家人合力將『我』制服，差一點也制止不住。幸好最終他們也能把我的四肢紮在救護床上送去醫院。到了醫院，『我』在被綁着的情況下，還不斷地掙扎，大叫大嚷，過了一陣子，卻又平靜下來。
之後，『我』和哥哥說 ： 『哥哥，你為麼這樣啊？你這樣對待你的弟弟啊！我好辛苦啊！請求你放開我吧！』哥哥覺得我的眼神和我說話的語氣，太不像平時的我，所以他沒有放開我。於是不久，『我』又照樣地大叫大嚷！
當時，醫院有我之前多次入院的記錄，醫生就建議待我做完手術立後，就把我送回那『療養院』。但因我不是犯了什麼法，他們沒有強制的權力，而我的家人當然也不會讓我再次進去！
再過了一段時間，我便真正平靜下來了，昏昏沈沈的睡了…….當我一張開眼睛，只感到渾身疲倦不堪，而我的手很痛很痛，我的臉也很痛很痛。而唯一不同的，就是我很清楚知道，我心中那股惡勢力和那股負面的思維，已經離開了我。我心中的深處，有一份深深的平安。
之後護士說要做手術，我問護士：『要做什麼手術呢？』她說：『你真不知還是假不知呀？』我當然不知道為甚麽睡醒了之後要做手術，於是她告訴我，我的手筋斷了，需要進行接駁手術！我當時都有點害怕，因為我不知為何和怎樣，我會把自己的手筋弄斷的！後來是家人告訴我所發生的事，我才知道的。
大家想想，我怎可能在手筋都斷了的情况下，還能抵抗這麼多人？那是什麼力量在控制我？我和我的家人是絕對明白的！還有，這力量欺騙的一面，扮作可憐的想騙我的哥哥！現在我能和你們說話，已是神大大的恩典了！如果當天，我只要向那窗走多一步，今天可能已沒有機會在這裏和你們說這見證了！
重生的感覺终給我遇見了！在我家中休養的期間，每一天都有主的同在，那種平安和安穩是很實在的，不能用言語去解釋的。信了主後，我亦改變了我很多，再沒有那頑強暴躁的性格了。
甚麼家仇怨恨也放下了。因為主助我想通了，如每一天都因小事變成小的怨恨，很多小的怨恨，就會積累成大大的怨恨和苦毒，而苦毒會打破內心的靈靜，亦會亂了本性。所以，我明白了一定要用包容和寬恕去對待人和事，這樣，身心的負擔都會減輕。
我又以另一個角度去看以前所謂的家仇怨恨。其實每人都會有風光不再的時候，當發生這情況時，他們一方面內心很沮喪，又失去了自信，但同時又要面對他們自己以前風風光光時，曾傷害過的人，這其實也不是一件容易的事。試想想，如果身份對調了，我又會怎樣？所以這些家仇都在我心中一一消失了。
而我的哥哥，我曾敢對手足之情再有任何的期望，但現在我又試從第二個角度去想，他當時這樣說，可能連他自己都不知道會傷害到我的。在生活中，很多人出口傷害了別人，但其實自己也察覺不到，包括我自己在內，也是如此。還有，不是他，我又怎能在那鬼地方，以歷史性這麼快的速度便逃脫呢？
而在我家人的心目中，在我信了主後，性格明顯變了，亦看得比之前遠了、通了！
下一集強勢預告：主給的平安和安穩，不是信了主便自動長留在心中的。工作使我漸漸越來越少回教會了。狂歡之後，在飛機上突然驚醒，比之前更恐怖的竟然重來！

At this moment, I struggled hard on the floor. My mind was totally blanked out and what I could see was only an opened window. I only needed to stand up and jump out from the window and I would finish all this torment and “my friend” will leave me forever. Suddenly, the image of my neighbor’s mother came into my mind. Her hair turned all white overnight after my neighbor lost her life in a traffic accident. I really did not want my mother to become like her. It was because of this thought, I tried very hard crawling on the floor and finally was able to reach the phone and called my brother.
When my brother arrived, he immediately put his finger into my mouth, trying to make me vomit. And I did vomit a lot of white foam. He could do nothing more but to send me to the hospital right away.
The doctor asked me, “ Are you feeling better now?” I said, “I am in deep sufferings. I want to die.” The doctor said, “How about taking a rest in a sanatorium? I will communicate with the doctor there and see if we can make some adjustment to the dosage of your medication. Is that fine with you?” I agreed but felt a bit strange when they asked me to sign some documents. But by that time, I really did not have any strength to think about why and I just signed them.
Once I arrived there, I just realized that it was a place for psychotic patients! The ward I was staying was called the “ admission ward “. It was under tight security control. There were doors after doors to prevent the patients from running away.
Once I went inside, I was totally awake! I saw ten to twenty patients walking closer to me and looking at me in strange ways. They did not look friendly at all. I fully understood what the place was for within just a few hours.
Staying here was the same as staying in the prison. All the windows were with bars. There was no freedom here. You must be very disciplined for eating, taking shower, and even sleeping. You were allowed to make only one phone call each night, and under close supervision. Only one family member was allowed to visit in a day. It was like a hell! People were fighting for food and even for remaining food! Some patients were shouting, and totally losing self-control. They even took the garbage from the bin and ate it.
Who was sent here? Why were they here? Some of them committed some crimes. Some were waiting for a psychological report. A young man abused his own sister. The other one was caught when attacking a policeman; Some were only mentally retarded. Some were physically abused, and some were drug addicts. They were either harmful to others or being harmed. People with psychotic and /or psychological problems would be admitted to here too. That was why it was called the “admission ward”.
You need to be tactful when dealing with the staff here. Otherwise, you will be bullied. If you were against them, it meant that you would never be able to leave. They could tie you up on a bed whenever they thought that you are losing control. Fortunately, they did not do that to me because they realized that I was not psychotic and I had family members coming to see me everyday. The lives for those who did not have their family to visit them were indeed tragic.
Just within a few hours, I realized how I could survive. I needed cigarettes and food to trade for my own safety. And I need to use some violence too sometimes, and I must be strong! I said to myself, “ I have to leave this place with all the methods I can! “ I might have some problems, but this was not a place for me. I would only get worst if I had to stay here any longer.
I had only one chance to make a phone call in one day. I was thinking who I should call. Finally, I decided to call my father, as my father could have more flexible time for coming to see me. I could only say I was okay because the staff was just next to me. I asked my father to buy me more snacks. In that way I could have more bargaining power for protecting myself from others’ attack. These snacks were my “ bodyguards”. And I asked my father to tell one of my friends to come and see me. Later, when my friend arrived, I told him all that was about and asked him to inform my brother. They needed to help me to get out of this hell-like place as soon as possible. On the other hand, I did my best to convince the doctor who evaluated me. I pretended to be pitiful and very cooperative in answering all the questions so as to gain his trust. The doctor also thought that I should not be treated here. Not easily, I finally could leave this place after a few days.
After that, I need to follow up with the doctor regularly. When I was dismissed from the sanatorium, the doctor reduced 50% of my dosage. But in fact, my negative thoughts and emotions were still with me all the time. I ended up pretending that I was improving every time when I saw the doctor. I was afraid that the doctor would force me back to the so-called “sanatorium”. But deep in my heart, I knew very clearly that even if I could get pass for few times, I need to face my own problem sooner or later and I had no idea what and how I should do to deal with this.
Preview for next chapter: My situation was getting worse. My family tried everything they could to help me but causing me even more sufferings. The cruel and cunning one was trying to kill me! What could help me get out of this situation? Keep on reading the next chapter, (7) Reborn at the Dead End.
Mr. Ice Cream
這時，我在地上掙扎，眼前是空白一片，只看見那沒有框的窗，我只要在地上爬起，投進那空窗，這一切的折磨都要結束了，而這朋友亦要和我一起告別。但是，
突然我的腦海一閃，想起那鄰居的媽媽，一夜白頭的景象，我不想我的媽媽也是這樣啊………..這刻我很辛苦地在地上掙扎，致電給哥哥……
哥哥趕回來，看見我這情況，便立刻伸手進我的口腔，我即時吐了很多白色的泡沫，他立即送我去醫院…….
醫生問道：『你情況怎樣呀？』我回答：『很辛苦呀，很想死。』醫生就說：『不如在療養院稍作休息，待醫生和你調較一下藥量好嗎？』我答應了，但奇怪地，他們要我需要親自簽署，才可入住『療養院』。 那時的我，根本沒有力氣去考慮甚麼了，就簽了。
原來，他們送我去的，名義上是『療養院』，實際上是精神病院！我入住的是一個叫『收症室』的地方，是較高設防的，一道門又一道門的，即是避得過這一道門，也走不出另一道門的。
一進入去的一刻，我即時清醒了！我一進入，已有了十幾二十人行近看着我，他們的表情不是太友善的。我在這裏幾小時之內，已經很清楚這是一個甚麽地方！
在這裏和在監獄沒有甚麽分別的，所有的窗都有一支支的柱。這裏是沒有自由的，無論吃飯，洗澡，和睡眠都要很有規律。在這想致電求援也不是一件易事，每人每晚只可打一次電話，而且有職員在旁邊聽你在說什麼。如家人、朋友探訪，只可一人和一日只可探訪一次。這裡我只可說是個鬼地方，有人會搶食物，如你吃剩的食物一定會有人搶吃的！有人會情緒失常亂叫的，有人會執垃圾吃。
進來的又是怎樣的人呢？為甚麽會在這裏呢？有些人是犯了法，要在這裡等候心理部告的，例如哥哥侵犯了自己的妹妹、襲警的；有的是弱能的、有的是受到虐打的、有些是吸毒的………總知一句，不論害人的、受害的、不論是實報或虛報的、只要有可能涉及精神上、心理上有些問題的，都會在這裏，所要這就叫做『收症室』！
對付這裏的職員，都要有些本事，如果不是，可能會被人欺負的。你和他們過不去，等同永遠也不想離開。他們可以在『認為』你失控時，把你四肢扎在床上！幸好他們沒有這樣待我，因為他們都看得出我不是傻的，亦有家人來探訪我的。
我在這裏幾小時之內，也明白到怎樣才可以在這裏生存，就是香煙、食物、暴力，和自己要很強！我一定要用我的本事，快快的逃離這地方！我雖是有問題，但我知道我和他們的情況是不同的，在這裏不單對我沒幫助，簡直是沒問題都會住到有問題！
到了打電話的時間了，我只有一次的機會，應打給誰呢？應怎樣說才好呢？我選擇了致電爸爸。電話通了，我當然說這裏不錯啊…等等，又叫爸爸叫我一個工作較自由的朋友買多些零食飲品前來探我，這樣，我就有了籌碼在手，至少能保證人身的安全！這些物資就仿如成為我的保標！朋友來了，我就告訴他實情，和我通知我的哥哥，幫我用盡一切方法，我要最短時間離開這裏！另一方面，我設法令替我做心理評估的醫生相信我、可憐我，我又對答如流，他也覺得我不應該在這裏治療。所以，我住了數日，就歷史性地，成功以最短的時間逃脫！
之後，我也要定時回去見醫生。但問題是，因為是他讓我出院的，而我當時亦十分之清醒，所以醫生把我藥量減少了一半，所以就連那暫時抑制負面思想的作用也沒有了。但每次去見這醫生，我也唯有扮作沒有什麼事，因為如果說有事，他是有權要我回這地方的。就這樣，扮了幾次後便成功過關了。唉！但我也明白，之後又如何面對呢？
預告：我情況一直向下，家人用盡所有方法，竟把我推至完全失控的地步！那猙獰又狡猾的，把我重創，是甚麽力量救我重出生天呢？
下一集，別問我 是誰(7) – 絕境與重生。

Hello everyone! I am Francer. I have been to Elim Church for about two years. I was a Buddhist before. In fact, I studied in Buddhist school and my sister was a Buddhist too.
How come I became a Christian? About two years ago, I felt big pressure in my work and I was very unhappy. I wanted to look for a solution. By that time, my ex-colleague, Carol, invited me to join the 7th Alpha Course. Alpha Course is for not-yet believers to learn more about the beliefs of Christianity. Therefore, I told myself, “ just try! “
After the first session of this course, I liked this church very much. Here is just like a big family and I didn’t have any feeling that I was a stranger here, even for the very first time. And most importantly, something was very strong here, I could feel it, which I didn’t have before. That was “ peace “ and “ joy”!
When I went to the temple before, what I could get was “ calm “. But from the praise and worship time in the Alpha course, what I could get was “ peace “ and “ joy “ which was much stronger than “ calm “. They are totally different. That is why after I completed the course, I kept coming to cell group and Sunday service.
In these two years, God had helped me a lot and His grace was sufficient for me. I prayed that I wanted to change to another department. This happened within only two months’ time. I was much happier than before! Although my company is now much bigger than before, and the workload is much bigger than before, I can handle this very well with a positive attitude too!
Because I remember what the Bible says,
“ Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. “ (Matthew 11:28)
Therefore, no matter what problem or difficulty I encountered, I prayed. No matter what burden I have, I gave it to Jesus. So, naturally, I can be freed from those burdens and pressure!
I am so happy that I can know Jesus. I was baptized in April 2010 and became a real Christian! I am very glad that I can be here and share my testimony with YOU!
Finally, I hope if you do not know Jesus yet, you can come and try to know more about Him. So we can share the peace and joy together!!
THANK YOU LORD!!
Francer
大家好！我叫Francer, 我返咗以琳大約兩年啦！
原本我係一個佛教徒，因為我中學係讀佛教學校嘅，而我大家姐亦係佛教徒。咁點解我會信咗耶穌呢？
其實大約喺兩年前，我响工作上有好大壓力，個人好唔開心，好想尋求一個解決方法。咁啱我以前嘅同事Carol邀請我參加第7屆啟發課程。個課程其實係俾我哋了解同認識基督教信仰嘅，咁我就嘗試吓接觸教會啦！
當我返咗第一堂啟發課程後，我就鍾意咗呢度，因為呢度嘅感覺好似一個大家庭咁，一啲都唔陌生。而且我响啟發課程當中有好大感受，而呢種感受係以前响佛教裏面無嘅，就係『喜樂』！
以前去寺院得到嘅，只係平靜，而我返啟發課程唱歌敬拜得到嘅，係平安同喜樂。呢種感受大好多，係完全唔同嘅。所以我完成啟發課程後都一直keep住返小組同主日祟拜。
响這兩年幾裏面，神好保守我，對我有好多恩典。响工作方面，我都有祈禱想轉去另一個部門，跟住唔使兩個月就好快轉成咗啦！之後無咩工作壓力，個人都開心咗好多！就算公司搬大咗好多，工作量亦大好多，我都可以好積極咁面對……….
因為我記得聖經裏面講…..
『凡勞苦擔重擔的人，可以到我這裡來，我就使你們得安息。』( 馬太福音 11:28 )
所以我有咩都祈禱，有咩重擔都交俾耶穌，個人自然無咩壓力啦！哈哈！
我好開心有機會認識主耶穌，所以我喺今年四月受浸，成為一個真正的基督徒……亦都好開心今日可以响度同大家分享我嘅見證…….
最後我希望未認識主耶穌嘅您，都能夠嘗試去認識，一齊分享呢份平安同喜樂！
“感謝主”！
Francer

Christmas Celebration is our invention this year. This is especially for Jesus. Yes, an event to celebrate the birth of Jesus and for Jesus only.
We sang Silent Night together in the candlelight. The message that night was about Christmas tree. The Christmas tree was not a religious symbol at all. However, we can make use of this to share the gospel.
* Green represents eternal life.
* Red represents the blood of Jesus.
* Gold represents the kingship of Jesus.
So, every time when we see a Christmas tree in the shopping mall, remember to see if we can share the gospel with other people.
What about the birthday gift for Jesus？We wrote down the gift we wanted to offer to Him in the coming new year and we hang the cards on the Christmas tree.
In closing, we all took a Christmas gift pack away with us and gave it to someone we met on our way home.
Merry Christmas！
在燭光中齊唱『平安夜』，思想耶穌降生對我們個人生命中的意義。
在敬拜讚美之後，沙師母跟我們分享聖誕的真義。
聖誕樹在各大商場隨處可見，它本身並不是帶有任何宗教意義的象徵物，但我們卻可用它來向人解釋聖誕的真義！
綠色 : 代表生命。主降生賜我們永生。
紅色 : 主釘十架所流的血，為我們犧牲。
金色 : 耶穌是王，昔在今在永在，是任何一個世代的王。
接着，我們每人都在咭片上寫上2011年要送給主的禮物，一一掛在聖誕樹上。最後，我們每人都帶走一個禮物包，要在十二點之前，送給未認識主的人！
聖誕快樂！
