Treatment 治疗

Started chemo on 10/19, around 3.30pm to 8pm at the hospital. Just sitting on a chair to allow the medicine to be dispensed, while reading some books and watching some TV. Went home with a pump which continued to dispense medicine.

Day 2 was around 2-hour session sitting down. Went back with another pump.
Day 3 was just removing the pump.

We have been praying for no side effect. Thank God, other than some tiredness and dizziness on 3rd day, my body is taking it well. Got a swelling on the gum yesterday. After I prayed, it was gone by the afternoon. Just amazing how God is good all the time!!

Next step is to eat more and gain some weight.


Psalm 37
4 Delight yourself in the LORD 
       and he will give you the desires of your heart.


10/19开始化疗,从下午3.30 至8点 在医院里坐着,让药以输液方式慢慢的进入身体。同时一边看书,也看了一些电视。过后带了一个药泵回家,继续输液。
第二天的疗程仅2小时左右。过后带另一个药泵回家。
第三天到医院除掉泵,就完成了疗程。

我们全家都一直祷告没有任何的副作用。感谢主,除了一点的疲倦及第三天的稍感晕眩之外,没什么问题。昨天牙龈肿起,祷告之后,下午完全消肿了。主真是恩待了我,赞美祂!

下一步是多吃一些,增点体重。

詩 篇 37


 4 又 要 以 耶 和 华 为 乐 , 他 就 将 你 心 里 所 求 的 赐 给 你 。

信心的加添 Growth In Faith



以 賽 亞 書 54: 10 大 山 可 以 挪 开 , 小 山 可 以 迁 移 ; 但 我 的 慈 爱 必 不 离 开 你 ; 我 平 安 的 约 也 不 迁 移 。 这 是 怜 恤 你 的 耶 和 华 说 的 。

Few days before the chemotherapy was set to commence, I was praying over this treatment. There was some quite apprenhensions. During the eve of the session, Brother Ho sent me a sms/text. He told me that his brother has just completed the same treatment. He was recovering fast and had little side effect. Brother Ho sends me sms once or twice a week to encourage me. His writing is so amusing that I often burst into laughter, and this has helped to uplift my spirit. May God Bless his brother to speedy recovery and abundantly provides for Ho's family.

The same night I picked up a book next to the television. It was titled " Daring to Live on the Edge" by Loren Cunningham. Loren was called by Lord to set up "Youth With A Mission" (YWAM) at 18, to send out trained youths to various countries to spread the gospel. Each of them receives no pay, makes no appeal  for donation, but merely pray to God for daily needs. This includes the fares to the countries that each is led to evangelise and place where training is conducted. When the book was printed in 1995, there were few thousand youths, many times more volunteers over hundred countries. Each one had amazing testimonies to share how God  provided each of their needs, often in the nicks of time and in miraculous fashion. God moved people/strangers to give the exact amount they needed. This had been going on and on for years/decades across continents.

I was greatly touched and also shamed for the little faith I have after reading the account of how God took care of every details with YWAMers. He not only proved how true He Was/Is, He also built faith among the people. Faith is like muscles, it needs to be exercised to grow. God utilises various means to let us understand He is more interested in us, in building up our character and grow in faith, far more than merely supplying our needs.

God planned these 2 events in His perfect timing again. I was able to lay down all my worries before Him, and turning my full trust in our Living God!

Isaiah 54:    10 Though the mountains be shaken
       and the hills be removed,
       yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
       nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
       says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

Exercise 锻炼

I have been taking half-hour stroll everyday for couple of weeks now, in the park next to my apartment. My exercise regime has over the past few days progressed to using some exercise equipment installed in the park. These include some static cycling, arm movement equipments etc. to exercise various muscles.

Yesterday started brisk walk at another park slightly further away from home. It was good feeling to sweat again. Thanks God for His healing!!

两三周前开始在住家附近的公园每天散步约半小时。过去几天加了一些运动量,使用公园里一些健身的设备,包括身体各部位锻炼的器材。

昨天去了离家稍远的另一个公园。绕着公园快步走了一圈,稍稍出汗,感觉太好了!感谢神继续的医治!!

Divine Healing

Our church (Lighthouse Evangelism) organizes Miracle Service every Saturday. Pastor started this many years ago. He was healed by God in 1979 from a near-death experience himself.

Many has been touched and healed by God every week, believers and non-believers, young and old.  Medical doctors were baffled by medically unexplainable healing phenomena on some of their patients.  So some doctors and nurses recommend patients with medically challenging conditions to the church for prayer.  Some of those healed, when giving their testimonies, said they felt some heat, some felt tingling sensation, other just have no special feeling, yet they are healed.

My wife and I have attended the service many times. Last night, as I was praying, I felt the heat sensation on my upper abdomen. It lasted some 20 minutes. I knew the Lord has started His healing. It was amazing timing after a tough day yesterday. Thank God for His perfect timing!!

Acts 5:15As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. 16Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by evil[a] spirits, and all of them were healed.

使 徒 行 傳 5

15 甚 至 有 人 將 病 人 抬 到 街 上 , 放 在 床 上 或 褥 子 上 , 指 望 彼 得 過 來 的 時 候 , 或 者 得 他 的 影 兒 照 在 甚 麼 人 身 上 。
 16 還 有 許 多 人 帶 著 病 人 和 被 污 鬼 纏 磨 的 , 從 耶 路 撒 冷 四 圍 的 城 邑 來 , 全 都 得 了 醫 治 。



我们的教会每周末都举行神迹医治布道会。牧师好多年前就开始这么做,他本身在1975年一次频临死亡的疾病中蒙神的医治。

每周有许多人在会中蒙神的医治,有些是信徒,也有未信的,男女老小都有。一些医生在病患身上看到难以解释的医治奇迹。有些医生护士就会推荐棘手或束手无策的病例患者到会中来。各种各样受医治的人当中,有些做见证时说在患处会有炙热感,有些会有麻刺感,有些没有任何感觉,却也得到医治。


妻与我去了好几次的聚会。昨天夜里祷告时,我感觉上腹部一阵阵炙热,持续了约20 分钟。心里知道神在我身上开始施行了医治。感谢祂在这艰难的一天里行了祂奇妙的医治!!

耶 利 米 書 29:11 (Chinese Union Version (Simplified))


 11 耶 和 华 说 : 我 知 道 我 向 你 们 所 怀 的 意 念 是 赐 平 安 的 意 念 , 不 是 降 灾 祸 的 意 念 , 要 叫 你 们 末 後 有 指 望 。

The Confirmation 确认

The confirmation on healing promise came on Sep 27.  A good friend of my wife's sister had visited me earlier in the hospital. She had been praying for us. That day she sent a sms on receiving God's meesage on my healing to my wife. That was the confirmation I was looking for! How great is our God! 

Along the way, I have also experienced healing on other ailments. The gum of my tooth was swollen on 2 occasions. Each time I prayed, God delivered me and cause the swell to be gone. How amazing!

After my op, I was sitting down a lot. The wound though painful, was recovering. This had however caused some pain on my back due to prolonged sitting. I had to ask my wife to put on some lotion a few times to ease the pain. One night as I was reading a book on healing, I read a passage mentioning our God is Jehovah Rapha, the Healer. At at point, the Lord spoke to me, "This pain bothers you no more!" Significant pain left me, after couple of days, it was totally gone and truly bothered me no more. I give praise and thanksgiving to my Lord who has been taking good care of me!!

医治应许的确认在9/27来到。 小姨子的一位好友曾到医院探病,也一直为我们祷告。那天她发了短信,说神确定了医治。感谢赞美上帝!

这阵子我也体验了其他方面的医治。两次牙龈肿起,一般要看牙医吃抗生素,不过经过祷告后,次日就消肿了。神的作为何等奇妙!

手术后伤口逐渐复原,但疼痛持续了几星期。由于长时间坐着,引发了背腰部疼痛。好几次要妻涂药舒缓。一天晚上,我在客厅读着一本有关医治的书,读到 神是”耶和华拉法“,是医治者。那时神对我说,“这痛不再困扰你了." 果真绝大部分的疼痛消去了,再过两日,背部的疼痛完全消失了。感谢神持续的看顾和保护,对祂感恩不尽!!
