Perkataan Yesus (Kesaksian K.E.Hagin)

Pada masa kini, Aku mengunjungi semua orang yang lapar dan haus akan Kebenaran, tidak peduli di mana pun mereka berada; di mana saja bila Aku menemukan hati yang terbuka terhadap diriKu, tidak peduli dari aliran gereja manapun mereka berasal, Aku akan mengunjungi mereka SEKARANG ini.

Aku juga akan mengunjungi tempat-tempat yang tidak engkau sangka bahwa Aku akan berada di sana, yakni, Aku bukan saja datang mengunjungi orang-orang dari aliran gereja yang berbeda, tetapi Aku juga akan mengunjungi orang-orang yang berlainan agama sama sekali, di mana hati mereka lapar dan haus merindukan Aku dan membuka hati mereka bagiKu. Aku akan membawa mereka kepada satu keselamatan yang sempurna dan ke dalam baptisan Roh Kudus.

Saya Melihat Yesus

Kisah ini, seperti yang diceritakan pada kami, terjadi ketika saya masih kecil, suatu kisah yang dialami ibu saya dalam penderitaannya yang sangat berat. Saat itu keluarga kami baru saja mengenal Yesus.

Hana, adik saya saat itu masih berumur kira-kira empat tahun ketika ia menderita batuk rejan. Penyakit itu sedemikian parahnya, hingga tubuhnya kurus kering. Obat yang harus ditelannya setiap hari sangat banyak tanpa membawa hasil apa-apa. Kami masih mempunyai seorang adik laki-laki lagi (adik bungsu ) yang saat itu baru kira-kira dua tahun, jadi bagi ibu saya cukup berat juga menjaga anak yang sakit dan bayi yang masih kecil.

Pada suatu pagi buta, (kira-kira jam 4 pagi) ibu saya terbangun. Sayup-sayup ia mendengar sebuah doa. Ketika ia menoleh, ia melihat Hana sedang melipat tangannya yang kurus kering itu dan berdoa: “Bapa kami yang di dalam Surga, dikuduskan namaMu... Datanglah kerajaanMu, jadilah kehendakMu di bumi seperti di Surga…” Doa itu diajarkan oleh guru sekolah minggu kami pada kami. Hati ibuku semakin trenyuh mendengar doa ini. Entah berapa lama ia mendengar adik saya menaikkan doa ini, tiba-tiba saja ia merasa bangkit kari tempat tidurnya. Saat itu ia merasa dalam keadaan tidak berpakaian lengkap. Dalam suasana remang-remang di kamarnya itu ia meraih sehelai kain yang dilihatnya untuk menutupi tubuhnya.

Ia terkejut. Di halaman luar tampak seberkas cahaya yang menyorot ke bumi. Ia lalu berjalan keluar untuk mengetahui dari mana datangnya cahaya tersebut. Ketika ia tiba di halaman luar, ia menengadah dan melihat sumber terang itu. Di atas langit ia tampak Yesus dengan tangan yang terbuka. Sinar mataNya penuh dengan kasih dan belas kasihan.

“Tuhan, aku mau ikut Tuhan… aku ikut”,… Kata ibuku tanpa berpikir panjang. Tak lama kemudian ia merasa sinar itu telah mengangkatnya naik. Tubuhnya terasa begitu ringan. Ia merasakan suatu kebahagiaan dan sukacita yang begitu besar, yang belum pernah dirasakan sebelumnya. Ia naik terus ke atas menuju tempat Yesus berada.

Namun sejenak ia teringat akan anaknya yang sakit parah dan bayi laki-lakinya… Ia tahu kalau ia naik terus, ia tak akan kembali lagi. Naluri keibuannya timbul dan memikirkan seandainya ia tidak kembali lagi, siapa yang akan merawat anak-anaknya yang masih kecil dan membutuhkan perawatan itu. Ia kemudian meronta dan memohon pada Tuhan: “Ampuni saya ya Tuhan… ampuni saya…” Sesaat kemudian ia merasa terjatuh dan terbangun. Ia mendengar lonceng berdentang 5 kali. Ia menangis dan menangis…

Seluruh keluarga terbangun mendengar ibu saya menangis tersedu-sedu. “Aku ketemu Tuhan… aku ketemu Tuhan…” katanya di antara isaknya.

Keajaiban terjadi setelah peristiwa itu. Batuk Hana berhenti. Ketika ia dibawa kembali ke dokter, ternyata penyakitnya dinyatakan telah sembuh dan semua obat tak perlu diminum lagi kecuali beberapa tetes vitamin setiap harinya.

Peringatan Kepada Seorang Hamba Tuhan (Kesaksian K.E.Hagin)

Pada suata saat saya mengunjungi seorang pendeta yang sedang membangun sebuah gedung gereja. Setelah kami berkeliling melihat-lihat pembangunan gereja yang baru itu, kami pun menuju mobil untuk siap melanjutkan perjalanan lagi; justru pada saat itu datanglah suara Tuhan kepadaku, untuk memberitahu kepada pendeta itu bahwa ia tidak akan berumur panjang, apabila ia tidak mawas diri dan memperbaiki cara hidupnya sendiri, yang menyangkut 3 hal:

1. Harus menjalankan diet dalam hal makan.

2. Mengatur keuangan dan penggunaannya dengan tepat.

3. Memperbaiki kekurangan cinta kasih-nya terhadap sidang jemaatnya.

Saya pun turun kembali dari mobilku dan melangkah masuk untuk menyampaikan kepadanya hal ini; akan tetapi ada seorang lain datang mendekati dia dan mulai mengajak dia berbicara. Saya pun kembali ke dalam mobilku dan mulai merenungkan segala hal itu dalam hatiku. Saya tahu bahwa ia mungkin tidak akan menerima nasehatku itu. Memang ia kurang menaruh kasih terhadap sidang jemaatnya, dan kalau saya kemukakan hal itu, mungkin dia bisa menempeleng wajah saya.

Ketika saya lagi duduk merenungkan hal ini seorang diri, pendeta itu sudah sempat pergi dengan mobilnya. Saya tidak mendapat kesempatan untuk menyampaikan hal ini kepadanya; dan itulah saat terakhir saya melihat dia, sebab 3 tahun kemudian dia meninggal dunia.

SEVEN DAYS IN HEAVEN

Emmanuel Tuwagiraimana is from Rwanda, central Africa. Before 1994, he had been living as a Christian but he was not faithful in his walk with God. During the Rwandan genocide of 1994, Emmanuel and his friends were trapped in Kabwai School, Gitarama town, about 45km from Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. Emmanuel could not walk as he had suffered severe bomb sharpenels that had left him with severe wounds all over the body. They could not move out of the school because it was risky and very dangerous. Due to lack of medical attention, one morning Emmanuel was found dead by his friends. They wrapped his swollen and smelling body in a bed cover and pushed it in a far corner in the room. By now, smelling fluids were oozing out of Emmanuels dead body.

Emmanuel says he did not know how suddenly he went out of his body. He found himself at a big gate. Two men stood at that gate and intoduced themselves. They said: "We are angels. Now you are standing at the gate of the heaven" When Emmanuel looked upon himself, he realised that he was putting on a very beautiful body, unlike the earthly one. The two men took him through sweet smelling garden of flowers. They took him to a man who introduced himself as Christ. Jesus presented himself to Emmanuel in two forms. First he presented himself with a body of scars. He showed Emmanuel the scars made by nails at the cross. After Jesus knew that Emmanuel had no more doubts, He (Jesus) started moving with Emmanuel while he put on a very beautiful body with no scars. Jesus told Emmanuel many things. Then they came together back to earth. They went to Rwanda and stood in the very room where Emmanuel's body lay. They stood in the air and morever, no one could see them. Jesus showed Emmanuel his dead body. Emmanuel says it looked terrible. "It looked like a dead cow!" Emmanuel says. They could hear the voices of people in the room. They were saing:"Oh, the saved man had died!"

Jesus told Emmanuel that one day he would go back into that rotten body.

Jesus took Emmanuel back to heaven and showed him a city of very beautiful houses. Emmanuel says he has never seen such houses. Then he was shown a lake. Jesus told him that his time had not come yet so he coulkd not cross that lake. Accross the lake he could see living persons. When he looked closely, he saw a Moslem man he had known in Rwanda. Also, he could recognise some Christians he had worked with. He asked Jesus how these people could be there. Christ told him that these people succeeded to make it to heaven to be with God. Emmanuel asked how a Moslem could be among them. Jesus told him: "As he was dying, that man called upon my name and I saved him from eternal fire". Then Emmanuel asked about a certain dead Sister in the Lord with whom they had been ministering to in Rwanda. Jesus told him that she could not come to heaven because she died with a lot of unforgiveness and bitterness in her heart.

She had refused to forgive her fellow Christians who did not visit her in a Rwandan hospital. Then Emmanuel asked about a certain dead man with whom they were praying. Jesus told him that man could not go to heaven because he kept on stealing money collected by Christians to help the sick in hospitals.

Emmanuel was taken to hell. Hell is filthy and people are made to work day and night. There is no rest. All beings there are naked.

Then Jesus brought something that looked like a chocolate bar. Jesus told Emmanuel to eat it. He ate it and true, it tated like chocolate. He ate the whole of it. Jesus told him: "You have eaten the Bible. Now it is in your head, you will be able to memorise it every where you go" [This is true. Emmanuel has all the scriptures in his head].

Seven days after he had died on earth, Jesus told Emmanuel it was time to go back in his body. At first Emmanuel refused leaving heaven. But Jesus just touched him with the tip of his finger. Emmnuesl found himself in a dead rotten body. He says he struggled with one arm to keep the maggots out of his mouth. His friends in the room could not believe their eyes when they saw Emmanuels moving body. The straps got loose and Emmanuel sat down. His friends run out of the school shouting that they had seen a ghost! But Emmanuel also shouted calling them and assuring them he was not a ghost. He aws given food and taken to the hospital.

One of Emmanuel's arms had rotten to the extent of almost falling off. Doctors in Rwanda decided to amputate it but God told Emmanuel not to accept. In God's supernatural working ways, God appeared to a white doctor in Australia. He told him to go to Rwanda to do surgery on Emmanuel's arm so that it is not amputated. In a strange vision, God gave this doctor a picture of Emmanuel and the address of the Rwandan hospital. This Doctor obeyed and saved Emmanuels right arm in Rwanda! [note: from 1994 to 1999 Emanuel had a supporting metallic support structure on his arm fixed by this doctor. Now he had removed it].

After healing, Emmanuel started his ministry of testifying what happened to him and his visit to heaven.

HOW A WORD SPOKEN FROM THE BIBLE DESTROYED WITCHCRAFT

In 1991 I had just been promoted to the position of a field supervisor. That meant I was in charge of all field activities and vehicles at a station in Rakai District, 150km from the company head office in Entebbe, Uganda. We had a team of several drivers. What I did not know was that two of these drivers were deeply involved in witchcraft purposely to prevent anybody from taking over their jobs or driving trucks allocated to them. My schedule required me to visit the field station regularly. On this particular day I decided to drive one of the company Toyota Hilux double cabin pick-up myself. I drove without using a company driver. What I did not know was that the man who usually drove this vehicle had known of my trip and had, the previuos night,contacted a powerful witch who made sacrifices in that vehicle.

I left Entebbe at about 3:00pm destined for Kalisizo, 145km away. I will never start the engine without prayer, so I asked for God's protection. When I reached Kitubulu, 4km along Entebbe-Kampala road, I realised something strange. Instead of keeping in a straight line on the left of the road [**In Uganda we drive on the left], I felt a strange push that kept me veering to the right. I was almost crushing into vehicles heading into the opposite direction. At first I thought it was unbalanced tyre pressure causing this. So I had all pressure measured accordingly. Back on the road, again I was experiencing the same veering force! I prayed to God and asked for the protection of Jesus Christ. As I was about to reach the field station, I heard a sound in the bonnet but I just continued driving as it was already dark. When I reached the station, I realised God had given me special protection because the battery broke out of its position as I was driving. As I rested in my room at night, I wondered why all these things had happened to me. I did not know that I was battling powerful demonic forces planted in the vehicle. I prayed feverishly and I slept. While sleeping, God never revealed to me anything in a dream or scripture.

In the morning I was so surprised by a question from co-worker who did not even know Jesus personally. She asked me: "Makko, are you O.K??" I told Mary that I was fine. "Why are you asking?" I inquired. She told me that at night she saw a strange dream about me. I became anxious and asked her to tell me what she dreamt. "In that dream I saw our two drivers Duhagi and Kolwaga [the two real names have been altered here to prevent publicity] seated on a cliff near a road looking at that vehicle you drove yesterday. In this dream, they had put a big snake accross the front tyres and another big snake accross the rear tyres. They were saying: 'LET US SEE HOW HE WILL DRIVE THAT VEHICLE!!" She continued: "But in this dream I saw you had killed the snake at the front. You had beaten the one at the back but it did not die and was still alive" That was her dream.

I always take dreams seriously because God has used them to speak to me. So I went back to my room and thanked God for reavealing my enemies and for showing me the secrets of the spirit realm. What I later regretted was that I did not go into deep prayer that morning. Yet, from the dream I had been told that "one of the snakes was still alive". Surely enough, as I was driving that morning in that same vehicle towards Kabundabunda, in Kabula subcounty, one of the tyre levers springs broke into two. This was a new old vehicle with very strong springs, so I realised that I was dealing with very powerful wicked spiritual forces. Realising that there is someone who wants me to die in an accident, I got annoyed and pulled out my pocket NIV Bible. I told the two passengers Fred and Mary that they had seen the power of Satan, now it was high time to see the power of God. I do not know where the words I spoke came from. I found myself saying: "In four days, the very same thing my enemies wanted to happen to me will happen to them because it is written in this Bible: "If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him" Proverbs 26:27.

I did not know that God had taken these words and scripture very seriously.

That night as I was sleeping, God showed me a strange vision. I saw a big snake running out the vehicle I was driving and quickly entered the vehicle of my two enemies. The following day as these two men were driving their car, it was involved in an accident and almost killed them. That was four days after I had quoted the scripture in the Bible. Fred and Mary saw the broken car of Duhagi and Kolwaga and they remembered my words four days ago. They said, like Pharaoh did: "Surely God is God and most powerful!!"

May God bless and strengthen the faith of all Christians.
