Gifted in worship and praise, a Christian man named John was once a TV host, often interacting with celebrities. Despite his sunny and cheerful demeanor, he experienced triple blows to his body, career, and service.
From a Buddhist to a Christian
Before becoming a Christian, John was a devout Buddhist. His mother was diagnosed with menopause syndrome and had severe suicidal tendencies, ending her life by jumping into a river.
Later, John moved to another city to pursue his career. In each new city, he would seek out a powerful fortune-teller to predict his future, and these fortune-tellers could even describe what his mother was wearing when she died. Over time, he gradually began to believe in Buddhism. As a Buddhist, John developed the ability to foresee others' futures. However, he later confessed, "I never found peace during my time as a Buddhist."
After moving to another city for work, he met another male believer named Han, who shared the gospel with him. Initially, the two young men debated for a day and a night, with neither convincing the other. John believed that, having already embraced Buddhism, he could not betray his faith by converting to Christianity.
Not long after, John represented his school in an important competition and won the championship, but was subsequently dismissed by the school. Han took him to a square and sang "The Sun Above the Clouds" to him. He then brought John to a church, where John, listening to "Amazing Grace," couldn't help but shed tears.
One day, John had a rare opportunity to meet a prominent businessman. He and Han agreed that if John's meeting with the businessman exceeded his expectations, he would believe in Jesus. The meeting went exceptionally well, and John later removed all the Buddhist statues from his home.
The "Undying Cancer" - Ankylosing Spondylitis
John once suffered from ankylosing spondylitis, known as the "undying cancer." Fearing that medication would affect his reproductive system, he refused to take drugs. Ultimately, his illness was healed through fasting and prayer with fellow believers.
During the first relapse, the church asked him to play the role of Jesus. On the day of the performance, he felt no pain and performed like a normal person; however, the pain returned after the performance. Later, he went to Jerusalem with faith, and his ankylosing spondylitis indeed returned to normal.
Double Blows to Career and Service
While sick, he also faced double blows in his career and service. "All my sources of income were cut off." During his illness, the company he was contracted with suddenly terminated the contract. Additionally, his investment in stocks also went down the drain.
John was also involved in worship ministry. Once, he found the on-site worship and praise were not going well, so he asked for a microphone. However, just a few sentences into leading, he found that his microphone had no sound. Later, he realized that someone had turned off his microphone.
Healing - A Key Relationship with God
Amid all the adversities John experienced, God gave him a new calling – healing. He emphasized that a healer needs not only prophetic gifts but also wisdom, empathy, and life experience. He mentioned that immediate healing at the site of healing sessions is rare; healing often occurs a few days later through faith. Secondly, healing is not about changing a person but restoring and helping them find their true self, as initially created by God. He honestly said that he once could not understand God at all, because not only did God take away his finances and health, but he was also ostracized in his service at the church.
"The Best Way to Deal with Sin – Fall in Love with Jesus"
He also shared the story of a lesbian girl who was freed from sin. One day, after her girlfriend left, she turned and began to feel deeply guilty. She saw Jesus standing behind her, embracing her, and saying, "Child, I love you. Can you promise me not to do this again? My love can fully satisfy you." Since then, she never sinned again.
"All changes from sin within us don't depend on how much Bible you read or how much you pray. These are certainly necessary, but the most important thing is to fall in love with Jesus. Only by falling in love with Jesus can we completely break free from sin." This was what Han told John during his struggles.

John弟兄曾经是一名主持人，经常接触明星艺人，在敬拜赞美上他也很有恩赐。看着阳光、开朗的他，曾遭遇了身体、事业和事奉的三重打击。
从佛教徒到基督徒
John弟兄在成为基督徒之前是一位非常虔诚的佛教徒。
John的妈妈曾被医生诊断为患有更年期综合症，还有严重的自杀倾向。她后来通过跳河来结束自己的生命。
后来，John弟兄去了外地打拼。他每到一个城市都会找一个很厉害的“大仙儿”为他算命。他们可以算出妈妈去世的时候穿着等。时间久了，他也就慢慢开始信佛。信佛后的John拥有了预知别人的未来的能力。但后来他也坦白：“在我信佛的过程中我始终没有平安。”
他换到了另一个城市工作，遇到了将福音传给他的Han弟兄。刚开始两个年轻人辩论了一天一夜，结果谁也没说服谁。John认为他既然已经信了佛就不能再转信基督，不能做叛徒。
不久后，John弟兄代表学校参加了一项重要比赛并且获得了冠军。但是他却被学校辞退了。Han弟兄将他带到一个广场，给他唱《云上太阳》。紧接着，Han将他带到了一所教堂，听着《奇异恩典》，John不自觉地流下了眼泪。
有一次，他得到了一个难得的可以与一位大老板见面的机会。他和Han两人约定，如果John跟那位大老板见面交流的结果超过John所思所想的话，他就信耶稣。事实果然如此成就了,他后来将家里的佛像全部清理掉了。
不死的癌症——强直性脊柱炎
John弟兄曾经患过被称为“不死的癌症”之称的强直性脊柱炎。他怕药物对生殖系统有影响，就拒绝了吃药。最终他的疾病是在自己和弟兄姐妹的禁食祷告中得到了医治。
第一次复发时，教会请他扮演耶稣。演出当天他就像正常人一样，完全感受不到疼痛；演出结束之后就恢复了疼痛的症状。后来他带着信心去了耶路撒冷，他的强直性脊柱炎确实恢复到了正常。
事业、事奉的双重打击
生病期间，他在事业和事奉上也面临着双重打击。“我所有的经济来源全断了”。在他生病期间，与他签约的公司在签约期内突然和他解约。除此之外，他投资在股票上的钱也打了水漂。
John弟兄也是一位敬拜服事人员。有一次他发现现场的敬拜赞美效果很不好，就跟别人要了一只麦。然而，他还没带领几句，就发现他的麦没声音了。后来他才知道有人将他的麦关掉了。他坦诚地说他曾经特别不能理解上帝，因为上帝不仅将他的经济和身体都拿走了，而且他在教会的服事也备受排挤。
疗愈——与上帝的关系是关键
在John弟兄经历的一切逆境当中，上帝给了他一个新的呼召——疗愈。 他强调，疗愈者除了要有先知性的恩赐之外，还要具有智慧和共情的能力、生活的阅历等。他说，疗愈现场立刻得医治的人其实并不多，医治往往是在几天之后因着信心发生的。第二，疗愈不是改变一个人，而是让这个人恢复和找到自己，就是恢复上帝起初创造人的时候的美好。
“对付罪最好的方式——爱上耶稣”
他也分享了一名同性恋女孩从罪中得释放的故事。有一天当她找的一名女孩离开后，她转身开始非常自责。她就看到耶稣站在她身后抱住她，并且给她说：“孩子，我爱你，可以答应我之后不去做了吗？我的爱可以完全满足你。”自此之后，她就再也没有再犯罪了。
“我们身上所有罪的改变，不在于你读了多少圣经或者祷告了多少。这些当然也需要，但最重要的是我们要爱上耶稣。因为只有爱上耶稣我们才能彻底从罪中脱离”。这是在John弟兄曾经非常挣扎的时候，Han弟兄对他这样说。
