無所不知的真神

哈利路亞 奉主耶穌聖名作見證
小妹姓陳名美卿，育有一子一女。現與大家分享發生在我女兒婉貞身上的蒙恩見證。女兒 自小患有乾性皮膚病，求助不同醫生，使用各種藥物，總不見效。當女兒皮膚發癢時，尤 其在晚間，常抓至皮肉破裂。我夫婦倆內心難過萬分，但仍將此事交託於禱告中，求神施 恩憐憫。然而，我們常想或許自己信心不足，以致神未垂聽禱告。
當女兒五歲的那年，在2月14日（星期二），外子偶然在報章上讀了一篇介紹乾性皮膚病治 療法的文章，他就告訴我，並吩咐我當晚就照著該方法，為女兒塗抹臉部及手腳的患處。
可是，塗抹未有十分鐘時間後，我就聽見女兒大喊：「媽媽，我好癢呀！」只見女兒滿臉 及手腳又紅又腫，當時我大吃一驚，連忙抱著她，用水清洗她的患處，其後與她一起禱告。此時已剛過清晨一時，我的內心掙扎著，應否致電給在餐館工作的外子，叫他回家將女 兒送院。但當我想起女兒平日一知道要前往醫院，便會哭鬧，就決定致電外子只告知女兒的情況。接著，我開始專心禱告，並向神呼求說：「主啊！祢是全能的大醫生，若祢使女兒的皮膚紅腫消退的話，我就在這個安息日為祢作見證。」
在傷心痛哭的禱告後，看見女兒情況還沒有好轉，並一直哭泣、呼喊，我內心更覺痛苦，於是再跪下迫切禱告。禱告後，看見她的情況略為好轉。此刻我不再驚慌了，因我知主已聽我的懇求。我將女兒抱回床上休息，她卻想聽聖經故事。我就向她講述主耶穌在世傳道時，醫治各樣疾病，並告訴她，主同樣會醫治她。說完故事後，我準備作第三次禱告，同時吩咐女兒在床上禱告，但她說：「我也要跪在地上與媽媽一同禱告，求神醫治我的疾病。」我聽見這樣有信心的話，就說：「好吧，啦啦隊隊長，我們一同起來禱告吧！」這次
禱告後，我滿心感謝主，因為女兒皮膚上的紅腫已完全消退，並能平安入睡。
過了不久，外子放工回來，我就將所發生的事情告訴他，他也同聲感謝主。當晚我睡在床上，心裡想著剛才所發生的事情，只是小事一件，又不是太重要，無需在弟兄姊妹面前作見證，不如忘記作見證的事吧！當我想到這裏，忽然感到全身皮膚痕癢，不能睡著，看看時間，己是深夜了。我知道若再不能入睡，明日不會有精神料理家務和照顧女兒了。我忽然想到，應是神使我全身發癢，提醒我向祂所許的願。神是無所不知的，正如經上所記：「人是看外貌，神是看內心。」（撒上十六7）。因此，我向神禱告認罪，求祂赦免，也
求祂賜我膽量，為祂作見證。禱告完後，我的皮膚回復正常，並能安然睡覺。我終在2月18日的安息日，在澳魯景教會為主作見證，榮耀祂的聖名。
在這件事上，我深深體會到我們所事奉的真神，是獨一、無所不知、全能的神。祂時刻監察我們一切的心思和意念（詩一百卅九1-3）。雖然我女兒的乾性皮膚，還是未能完全痊癒，但我相信，若我們夫婦有充足的信心向神懇求，祂一定會按祂的旨意給我們成全。盼望神向我們施憐憫，有一天會醫治我們女兒的疾病。願一切榮耀歸於天上真神，阿們。
The Omniscient True God
Sis Christina Chan
Elgin Church, UK
Hallelujah in the name of the Lord Jesus I testify.
My name is Christina Chan and I have a son and a daughter. I would like to share with everyone a testimony of God’s grace towards my daughter Anita. Since her childhood, she had been suffering from eczema. This had been treated with many medications from various doctors, but they were ineffective. When her skin felt itchy, especially at night, she would often scratch until the skin cracked. My husband and I felt extremely sad about this but would entrust this to God in our prayers, asking Him to show mercy. However, we often thought that perhaps we did not have sufficient faith for God to listen to our prayers.
On 14 February (a Tuesday), when Anita was five years old, my husband happened to read in the newspaper an article which introduced a home treatment for dry skin. He showed it to me and told me to use the home treatment on the affected areas on our daughter’s face and limbs later that night. However, less than ten minutes after putting the treatment on, I heard her cry out, “Mum! It’s very itchy!” I was shocked when I saw that her whole face and her limbs were red and swollen. I cradled her in my arms and promptly used water to clean the affected areas and then said a prayer with her. It was just after one in the morning. At that time I was struggling to decide whether or not to phone my husband, who was working in a restaurant, to come back home to take her to hospital. However, once I thought about how my daughter would usually throw a tantrum whenever she knew that she was going to hospital, I decided to inform my husband of her situation only. I then started to pray to God earnestly and beg Him, saying, “Oh Lord, You are the almighty Physician, if you take away the redness and swelling on my daughter’s skin, I will testify for You on the Sabbath.”
After my sorrowful and tearful prayer, I saw that Anita’s condition had not improved, and all the while she was crying and screaming. I had so much pain in my heart that I knelt again to pray even more earnestly. After this prayer, her condition improved a little. From then on, I was no longer afraid because I knew that God had listened to my plea. I carried my daughter to bed so she could rest, but she wanted me to tell her a Bible story. I began to speak of the various healings Jesus performed during the time He was preaching the gospel, adding how He would also heal her. After the story, I was going to pray for the third time. I asked Anita to pray while she lay there in the bed, but she told me, “I also want to kneel and pray with my mummy, so we can ask God to heal me.” As I heard these words that were filled with so much faith, I told her, “Ok, my little cheerleader! Let’s pray together!” This time after the prayer, I felt truly thankful to God because the redness and swelling on her skin had subsided and she was able to go to sleep peacefully.
Not long after, my husband came home from work, and I told him everything that had happened. He also thanked God. That night, as I lay in bed, I thought of what happened earlier and felt that, since it was such a small matter, it was not important enough for me to testify about it in front of the whole congregation. Perhaps I should forget about giving testimony? All of a sudden I was itchy all over, and I could no longer sleep. I looked at the time and saw that it was really late already. I realised that if I could not fall asleep soon, I would be too tired to do the housework and look after my daughter the next day. It came to my mind that God had probably sent this itch to remind me of my promise to Him. God is omniscient , as the Bible records, “For man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Sam 16:7b). So then I prayed to God and repented, asking Him to forgive my sins and to give me the courage to bear testimony for Him. When I finished praying, my skin returned to normal and I was able to fall asleep. On the Sabbath day which followed, on the 18th February, I was able to testify for the Lord and glorify His holy name at Elgin Church.
From this whole experience, I was able to truly and deeply see that the true God that we serve is the one and only all knowing and all powerful God. He has searched us and understands our thoughts and ways (Psalm 139:1-3). At present, Anita’s eczema has not gone completely, but I believe that if my husband and I have sufficient faith to ask God, that if it is His will, He will act. I hope that God will show us mercy, so that one day my daughter can be healed of her illness. May all glory be unto the true God in heaven. Amen.
