超自然的力量。。。 Supernatural strength…

我常跟弟兄姐妹说,像我们这样忙碌,又要工作、顾家、事奉等等的人。。。有时候很难取舍,所以很多时候都需要异于常人的体力和精神,要不然怎么能在这世界竞争。。。

我告诉他们,当有时候(不是每次)没办法的时候,即睡眠、休息等等都已经不够,却还需要奔波的时候,那就真的要求神赐超自然的力量来胜过,且能好好完成工作又有理想的果效。。。

我今天又经历到了。。。

I often tell brothers and sisters, very busy people like us who need to work, take care of families, serve God etc… sometimes it is hard to choose, so we really need strength and energy different from normal people, otherwise how can we compete in this world…

I tell them, sometimes (not all the time) when we do not have a choice, that is when we are already lacking in sleep and rest and yet we have to carry on working, then we must really ask God for supernatural strength to help us overcome and to do the job well with good results…

I experienced it again today…

这次是在很忙碌又疲惫的情况下飞来温哥华的,只因之前答应了就必须遵守承诺,硬着头皮飞来。。。
在飞机上也没什么休息,甚至还在飞机上练歌呢!

晚上九点多抵达温哥华,等行李、跟朋友去吃宵夜等等,回到家已半夜。。。被告知第二天九点半就有人来接我去参加牧者团契,然后当晚七点在三一大学就有第一场布道会。听了真有点紧张,因一般上时差的问题都会把平常人弄得很累,而我似乎根本没时间休息来适应。。。马来西亚和温哥华时间相差十五个小时,日夜颠倒。。。拖拖拉拉,凌晨两点多才睡,因时差问题,也醒来好几次。。。

早上参加的是当地牧者联合祷告会,感谢主他们也特别围绕我为我按手祝福祷告,让我灵里从新得力。。。过后匆忙回家准备,四点半就有人来载我去三一大学,车程至少一个小时以上。。。

This time I flew to Vancouver under a very busy and exhausting condition, because I had promised them earlier so I must keep my promise, so I compelled myself to come…
I did not have much rest in the flight, in fact I even practised my songs in the plane!

Arrived at Vancouver after 9pm, waiting for my luggage, going to supper with friends after that, and it was midnight by the time I reached home… I was told someone would come and fetch me at 9:30am for a pastors’ fellowship, and my first concert would start that same day at 7pm at Trinity Western University… I was a bit concerned when I heard because normal people would get very tired due to jet lag problem and I did not seem to have time to rest and adjust… There is a difference of 15 hours between Malaysian and Vancouver time, night and day upside down… After settling down, it was about 2am when I went to bed, and due to jet lag, I woke up a few times too…

I joined the local pastors’ combined-prayer meeting, thank God that they surrounded me to bless and lay hand on me to rejuvenate my spirit… After that I quickly went home to prepare, as by 4:30pm someone would come and fetch me to go to Trinity University which would take at least one hour by car…

匆匆忙忙,所以头发也弄得很没看头(这很重要吗?哈哈。。。)
好像最近都在穿这件衣服哦。。。
‘Cos of the rush, my hair was really not “happening” (is that very important? Haha…)

Looks like I’ve been wearing this coat a lot lately…

在早上的牧者团契,竟然还有人误以为我是大学生,怎么有可能?!。。。这应该高兴还是伤心呢?哈哈哈。。。
In the morning pastors’ fellowship, there was even someone who mistook me for a university student, how could that be?!… So should I fell happy or sad about that? Hahaha…

在试音时,都已经感觉到没力气、很困倦、歌也唱得不太顺。。。就马上边排练、边心里祷告神加力量,因救灵魂很重要不能马马虎虎。。。
During sound check, I was alrerady feeling physically weak, sleepy, and my singing was not smooth too… so I immediately prayed in my heart while I was rehearsing because it is a very important thing to save souls, I must not be careless…

感谢主垂听我祷告,聚会开始,我一上台,体力、歌声、精神都恢复了。。。这就是所谓的超自然的力量!
Thanks God for hearing my prayer, when the meeting started, my strength, voice and energy were restored as soon as I went on stage… this is what I called supernatural strength!

这第一场聚会是大学基督徒团契,多数是中国留学生,人数虽不多,气氛很好。。。
This first meeting was with the Christians fellowship of the university, mostly students from Mainland China, though not many people, the atmosphere was good…

最喜欢和高兴的一刻当然是呼召时看到灵魂得救。。。
My favourite and happiest moment is of course seeing souls saved during the altar call…
