Mati Dan Hidup Kembali (Seorang Encim di Kalimantan Barat)


Kota kecil di Kalimantan barat

Salah satu kota kecil di Kalimantan barat, yang memiliki penduduk kebanyakan orang cina, tetapi sebagian besar orang yang ada di kota tersebut tidak percaya Tuhan Yesus, maka seorang hamba Tuhan berdoa di kota tersebut minta terjadi lawatan Tuhan. Ternyata Tuhan menjawab dengan cara yang berbeda. Pada suatu hari hamba Tuhan ini di telepon oleh seseorang dari rumah sakit, untuk datang ke sana.



Ada seorang encim tua yang sakit di rumah sakit tersebut, berada di ruang ICU, karena sakitnya parah dia meninggal. Ketika meninggal dia tidak percaya Yesus, bukan orang Kristen.



Setelah meninggal, petugas kamar mayat datang untuk mengambil mayatnya. Sekitar 14 menit kemudian, penjaga kamar mayat datang, saat masuk kamar tersebut melihat encim ini bagun dan duduk di tempat tidur, petugas kamar mayat ini kaget dan berteriak: hidup lagi.



Ketika encim ini kembali hidup, dari mulutnya keluar suatu pujian, dia bukan orang Kristen bisa tahu lagu pujian. Lalu cucunya yang dari jauh yang orang Kristen, memberanikan dirinya untuk masuk ruangan jenazah tersebut.

 

Saat Encim Meninggal


Encim ini bercerita ketika dia mati, dia melihat rohnya terangkat, sambil melihat para dokter datang, roh dia ini terus naik sampai ke alam yang kekal, dia berada di suatu jurang, ketika dilihat ke bagian bawah, dia melihat neraka, dan ketika dia melihat ke atas, yang dilihat adalah surga, dindingnya terbuat dari emas.


Karena dia meninggal dia di jemput oleh orang yang berjubah hitam, ketika posisi encim ini di lereng tersebut. Dia mau di tarik ke jurang oleh iblis yang menjemput dia. Sambil ditarik, encim ini katakan kenapa saya tidak bisa masuk ke surga di atas, saya mau kesana.



Kenapa Saya Tidak Bisa Masuk ke Surga

Orang yang berjubah hitam katakan kepada dia bahwa, setiap orang yang bisa masuk ke sorga adalah:
  1. Orang yang percaya Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruselamat
  2. Orang yang hidup sesuai dengan firman Allah 
  3. Orang yang namanya yang tercatat dalam Buku Kehidupan dalam Kerajaan Allah.



Ketika dia ditarik, dia mendengar suatu pujian dari sorga, lagunya adalah “Ya Abba, Bapa, ini aku, anakmu, layakkanlah seluruh hidupku”. Ketika encim ini mendengar lagu dari surga dia ikut menyanyikan lagu tersebut.



Di Depan Pintu Surga

Apa yang terjadi kuasa kegelapan yang ingin menarik dia, tiba-tiba terjatuh dan tangannya terlepas dari encim ini, lalu encim ini lari ke depan pintu surga. Sampai di pintu gerbang surga, malaikat penjaga pintu tersebut bilang kepada dia, kamu tidak bisa masuk karena kamu belum menerima Tuhan Yesus, engkau belum di baptis, engkau belum melakukan firman Tuhan, maka engkau tidak dapat masuk ke surga.



Diberikan Kesempatan Hidup Kembali

Encim ini berkata: tidak ada yang memberitakan Tuhan Yesus kepada saya; tetap malaikat ini katakan tidak bisa, tapi ketika sebelum engkau datang ke sini, Tuhan Yesus telah berpesan bahwa kamu akan di berikan kesempatan untuk hidup kembali ke dunia, selama satu minggu. Setelah kamu hidup kembali kamu harus bertobat, dan hidup sesuai dengan Firman Tuhan. Setelah selesai disampaikan, malaikat berkata: kembalilah. maka rohnya kembali ke tubuhnya.



Keluarganya Bertobat

Setelah kembali ke tubuhnya, segala penyakitnya semua lenyap, hidup kembali dalam keadaan sembuh. Malamnya dia dengan keluarganya, ada 74 orang lebih bertobat dan menerima Tuhan Yesus, sebagai Tuhan dan Juruselamat secara pribadi.


Selama seminggu mereka beribadah kepada Tuhan, maka waktunya sudah tiba untuk kembali, pada pagi hari, dia mengumpulkan semua keluarganya, dan dia katakan bahwa waktuku telah tiba, malaikat yang ketemu aku di depan pintu gerbang sorga sudang datang untuk menjemput aku. Sambil keluarga mereka menyanyikan pujian “Ya Abba, Bapa, ini aku, anakmu, layakkanlah seluruh hidupku”. Encim ini mulai membaringkan tubuhnya, dan dia kembali meninggal, pulang ke surga di jemput oleh malaikat Tuhan.

Pertobatan Dukun Sakti Dari Medan (Lastri)

Saya memiliki kekuatan gaib, sehingga saya dapat memperdaya banyak orang. Dengan kekuatan tersebut roh saya dapat keluar dari tubuh saya dan terbang keliling dunia untuk mencari orang-orang yang tidak kuat imannya, saya harus berusaha untuk dapat menangkap roh mereka supaya dapat menjatuhkan iman mereka yang belum kuat, itulah pekerjaan saya lakukan setiap hari.

The Lord Will Provide

 

Though troubles assail and dangers affright, 
Though friends should all fail and foes all unite; 
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
The scripture assures us, the Lord will provide


The birds without barn or storehouse are fed, 

From them let us learn to trust for our bread: 

His saints, what is fitting, shall ne'er be denied, 
So long as it's written, the Lord will provide 

We may, like the ships, by tempest be tossed
On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost.
Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide,
The promise engages, the Lord will provide.

His call we obey, like Abram of old, 
Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold; 
For though we are strangers we have a good Guide, 
And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide

When Satan appears to stop up our path,
And fill us with fears, we triumph by faith;
He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried,
This heart-cheering promise, the Lord will provide

He tells us we're weak, our hope is in vain, 
The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain, 
But when such suggestions our spirits have plied, 
This answers all questions, the Lord will provide


No strength of our own, or goodness we claim,
Yet since we have known the Savior's great name;
In this our strong tower for safety we hide,
The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide

When life sinks apace and death is in view, 
This word of his grace shall comfort us through: 
No fearing or doubting with Christ on our side, 
We hope to die shouting the Lord will provide


from All I Owe by Matthew Smith



Genesis 22:14
Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means "the LORD will provide"). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: "On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided."


Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Ascension of the Lord (Solemnity)

 
The Solemnity of the Ascension falls on Thursday, 9 May 2013 (it may be transferred to Sunday, 12 May 2013 in some countries). The celebration marks Christ Jesus's bodily ascension into heaven after 40 days from Easter Sunday, when He rose from the dead.  Christ Jesus, takes his place at God�s right hand so that he can pour out the promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit, upon his disciples. The 40th day after Easter Sunday always fall on a Thursday.


Go and Teach All Nations, 
Says the Lord; 
I Am with You Always, 
until the End of the World.





Ephesians 4:10
10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.



Mark 16:14-20
14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 He said to them, �Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.�
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.


Luke 24:50-53
The Ascension of Jesus
50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.


Acts 1:1-11
Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: �Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.�
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, �Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?�
7 He said to them: �It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.�
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 �Men of Galilee,� they said, �why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.�



"Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him. Listen to the words of the Apostle: If you have risen with Christ, set your hearts on the things that are above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God; seek the things that are above, not the things that are on earth. For just as he remained with us even after his ascension, so we too are already in heaven with him, even though what is promised us has not yet been fulfilled in our bodies."
~ The great western Bishop Augustine ~



Philippians 2:6-11
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death�
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.



Galatians 2:19, 20
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

John 15:4
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
