My Turning Point – Encounter with Jesus
by Sydney Wong
12th June 2014
I’m Sydney from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Before 2006, I was pretty much a free thinker, happy and have a contented life. Since 2006 onwards till early Jan 2014, a miserable 8 years of endless troubles began. I was heavily involved in Chinese prayers and rituals that I don’t even understand. Throughout this 8 years, I felt very uneasy and constantly saying this to myself , “ A religion is not suppose to be extreme, fanatic , violent, threatening and cause people to fear so much”, it’s just not normal. It took me awhile to realise this. I would also like to take this opportunity to caution people out there to follow the right leadership and go to proper known praying institutions regardless of whichever religion, avoid going to the private practices if possible.
My life took a turn since 2006, I faced horrible spiritual problems and attacks, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and for 8 long years, I had nobody to turn to for advice, did not know the way out in spite of going to many Chinese mediums, they couldn’t help me and so I nearly gave up hope. The spiritual problems that I faced has taken a toll on my health and drained my entire body energy. I was physically, mentally and spiritually sick. I fell into deep depression and every other problem came spiralling like a domino effect thereafter as I couldn’t defend myself anymore to carry on with life. At that moment, I felt my whole life came crashing down; I literally lost almost everything, came down with a chronic stomach pain, chronic back pain and chest pain. My physical health was in such bad condition that I couldn’t even sit, sleep nor walk and was relying on endless painkiller pills just to live a day. I quit my well paid job since Jan 2013 and forgo so many good job opportunities, lost my income, relationship broke down, almost gave up my MBA but thankfully I have completed it, lost my confidence and self esteem. Every day of my life I was worried and depressed. My heart was filled with anger towards those who thought me wrongly and caused me so much pain and distress. It was darkness clouded all over me at that point in time as if there’s no more hope for me. I even attempted the thought of suicide on several occasions.
I pray in the nights before I go to sleep sometime in the month of March 2014, I prayed “God, whichever good God you are, please come and save me soon for I am about to breakdown, I can’t take it anymore, I have reached my limits. In April, I was devastated after returning from another Chinese medium who failed to help me. I was fed up and so I returned home and log into the internet to look for a church that can help me and for whatever reasons, I came across CKRM’s website and the testimonies that I read convinced me a little that I may still have hope. At that point I don’t know anything about Christianity, all I know is that Jesus performs miracles and so I desperately wrote an email to Pastor Paul seeking for help. From this point forth, my life took a turn for the better.
I have been attending CKRM’s PJ healing service every Saturday continuously since 5th April 2014 and the pastors, brothers and sisters in the church have been so helpful and supportive. I received prayers, week after week with continuous deliverance from all my problems, layer after layer; I have been cleansed, healed and delivered. I am so happy and thankful that I have found the right faith in Jesus and he has been so good to me. Praise the Lord. Amen!. Within less than 3 weeks, I agreed to be baptised as I wanted to deepen my faith in the Lord.
The first time that I begin to feel the presence of God and opening up to receive the Holy Spirit considering a new believer whilst attending “Rally in Penang “event in May 2014. Following this, I was powerfully moved and delivered by the Holy Spirit during the 4 days Gideon Camp in Kota Kinabalu from 1-4 June 2014. I have never experience such strong presence of the Holy Spirit. This Gideon camp was such a great platform that provided not only me but many others an avenue and access to reach out to god through his power and his wonderful magnificent works. I encountered the beautiful side of God’s splendid work beyond words, each day of the Gideon camp; my spiritual experiences with the Holy Spirit till the very final day. Praise you Lord, glory to the God, the exalted Almighty One, Amen!. More importantly, I’ve gained so much from this trip, in knowledge, in empowerment and fully refreshed. Thank you to the organisers and speakers of the Gideon camp 2014, it has benefited so many people. Before I headed for this trip, I prayed to God with the hope that my health issues will improve and getting my peace of mind. By the end of the fourth day, I was delivered and healed, returning home with a peace of mind, assurance and stronger faith in God through the Words and works of the God almighty. Thank you Jesus. Just to recap, when I first step foot into CKRM church in PJ, my worries were health and spiritual issues, after attending church close to 2.5 months now, my current focus has changed to progression, fulfilment, success and to find a greater meaning in life, thanks to my great encounter with Christ my Saviour and this will be a continuous journey of discovering myself with God. My greatest learning from this short duration of time was to surrender myself to Jesus, open up and have faith in the Lord. I am especially thankful to Pastor Liam and Pastor Hephzibah for their love, patience and effort in praying and guiding me towards my recovery.
