Muslim Masuk Kristen (Anuar-Malaysia)

Kesaksian Saudara Anuar amatlah istimewa sekali. Beliau telah mengalami realiti kekuasaan ilahi Tuhan yang cukup hebat di dalam hidupnya. Sebelum itu, saudara Anuar telah mengharungi keperitan hidup yang cukup keras dan berat baginya serta keluarganya. Beberapa petikan nas dari catatan Injil Sayidina Isa al-Masih telah menolong beliau mencapai ketenangan hati dan juga pelepasan jiwa yang sangat indah lagi memuaskan dalam pencarian Anuar, yang sebelum ini, beliau tidak pernah kenali. Juga, boleh dikatakan ada cukup ramai umat bangsa Melayu yang terjerumus ke dalam jurang yang sama seperti Anuar.

Walaupun begitu, saudara Anuar terdapat juga dilepaskan daripada 'neraka' tersebut dan segala ini hanya boleh dirujukkan kepada kuasa ilahi Allah yang tidak terbanding, sepertimana yang sudah terkandung dalam pelayanan Sayidina Isa semasa baginda berada di atas muka Bumi ini!

Di antara petikan daripada peristiwa pelayanan Isa al-Masih adalah seperti nas-nas berikut.

Lukas Bab 5: 12-13 - Sayidina Isa al-Masih sembuhkan seorang berpenyakit kusta.

¹² Pada suatu kali Sayidina Isa berada di sebuah bandar. Terdapat seorang yang berpenyakit kusta. Apabila dia melihat Isa, dia meniarap lalu memohon kepada-Nya, "Tuan, jikalau Tuan mahu, Tuan berkuasa untuk menyembuhkan saya." ¹³ Lalu Isa pun menghulurkan tangan-Nya dan menyentuh dia sambil berkata, "Saya mahu. Sembuhlah engkau!" Seketika itu juga, penyakit kustanya hilang.

Lukas 5: 17-26 Isa al-Masih Mengampuni dosa-dosa seorang berpenyakit lumpuh.

¹⁷ Pada suatu hari ketika Isa mengajar orang, ada beberapa orang Farisi dan ahli Taurat duduk di situ. Mereka telah datang dari setiap bandar di jajahan Galilea dan Judea dan juga dari Baitulmuqaddis. Kuasa Allah ada pada Isa untuk menyembuhkan orang. ¹⁸ Beberapa orang mengusung seorang yang lumpuh dan mereka mencari jalan untuk membawanya ke dalam rumah untuk meletakkannya di hadapan Isa. ¹⁹ Oleh sebab mereka tidak dapat membawanya masuk kerana orang bersesak-sesak, mereka naik ke bumbung rumah lalu membuka genting untuk menurunkan orang itu dengan tikarnya di tengah-tengah orang ramai di hadapan Isa.

²⁰ Apabila Isa melihat iman mereka, Dia berkata kepada orang lumpuh itu, "Saudara, dosa-dosamu diampunkan."

²¹ Ahli-ahli Taurat dan orang Farisi mula berkata sesama diri, "Siapakah orang ini yang menghina Allah? Siapakah yang dapat mengampunkan dosa kecuali Allah sahaja?" ²² Tetapi Isa mengetahui fikiran mereka, lalu berkata kepada mereka, "Mengapakah kamu memikirkan perkara sedemikian? ²³ Yang manakah lebih mudah? - mengatakan 'Dosa-dosamu diampunkan' atau 'Bangunlah dan berjalan?'

²⁴ Tetapi, supaya kamu ketahui bahawa Anak manusia berkuasa di bumi ini untuk mengampunkan dosa..." - Dia berkata kepada orang lumpuh itu, "Aku berkata kepadamu, bangunlah, angkat tikar engkau dan pulang ke rumah!" ²⁵ Seketika itu juga, dia bangun di hadapan mereka sekalian. Dia mengangkat tikar di mana dia berbaring tadi lalu pulang dan memuji Allah. ²⁶ Semua orang tercengang-cengang dan memuji Allah dengan perasaan takut sambil berkata, "Pada hari ini kami sudah menyaksikan hal yang ajaib!"

Selain daripada umat Yahudi Israel, Sayidina Isa juga telah melayani dan selamatkan umat-umat bukan Yahudi, seperti Pegawai Tentera bangsa Roma itu dan juga hambanya, dalam Lukas 7: 1-10.

Bab 7 Setelah Isa habis memperkatakan semua perkara ini kepada orang ramai, Dia pergi ke Kapernaum. ² Terdapat seorang hamba ketua askar yang amat disayangi oleh tuannya; hamba itu sedang sakit tenat dan hampir mati. ³ Apabila ketua askar itu mendengar tentang Isa, dia menyuruh beberapa pemimpin masyarakat Yahudi mendapatkan Isa untuk meminta-Nya datang menyembuhkan hambanya itu.

⁴ Ketika pemimpin-pemimpin itu mendapatkan Isa, mereka memohon-Nya bersungguh-sungguh, "Tolonglah kabulkan permintaannya kerana dia patut ditolong. ⁵ Dia mengasihi bangsa kita dan dia telah mendirikan sebuah balai sembahyang untuk kita." ⁶ Lalu Isa pun pergi bersama-sama dengan mereka. Tatkala Dia tidak berapa jauh dari rumah, ketua askar itu menyuruh beberapa orang sahabat memberitahu Sayidina Isa, "Tuan, tak usah Tuan menyusahkan diri ke rumah saya kerana saya tidak layak. ⁷ Saya juga tidak layak datang untuk menemui Tuan. Memadailah Tuan memberikan perintah sahaja dan hamba saya itu akan sembuh. ⁸ Saya pun di bawah perintah orang atasan dan saya ada askar di bawah perintah saya. Saya memerintah seseorang, 'Pergilah!' dan dia akan pergi; saya memerintah seorang lagi, 'Datang!' dan dia akan datang. Saya memerintah seorang hamba, 'Buat kerja ini!' dan dia akan melakukannya."

⁹ Isa hairan mendengar ini lalu Dia berpaling kepada orang ramai yang mengikut-Nya sambil berkata, "Aku berkata kepadamu bahawa antara bangsa Israel sekalipun belum pernah Aku melihat orang yang beriman seteguh ini." ¹⁰ Apabila mereka yang disuruh itu kembali ke rumah ketua askar Rom itu, mereka mendapati hamba itu telah sembuh.

Banyak lagi mangsa-mangsa penyakit lain yang telah diampuni dan disembuh oleh Sayidina Isa, termasuk juga mereka yang dirasuki syaitan dan iblis. Peristiwa-peristiwa tersebut banyak dicatat lagi dalam Injil catitan Lukas ini. Tetapi marilah kita membaca tentang bagimana saudara Anuar sendiri telah diberkati anugerah Allah Bapa dan kasih kurnia-Nya melalui Penebusnya, Sayidina Isa al-Masih!

Assalamu-alaikum. Saudara-saudaraku, nama saya adalah Anuar. Saya seorang Melayu dari Malaysia. Saya berasal dari keluarga Islam dan dibesarkan sebagai seorang Muslimin sejak kecil lagi. Walaupun begitu, pegangan Islam saya tidak dapat lindungi saya daripada pengaruh-pengaruh negatif dan yang kurang memanfaatkan semasa saya semakin meningkat umur sebagai seorang lelaki.

Sebagai insan yang mengalami asam-garam hidup yang begitu menarik, saya juga telah tertarik kepada unsur-unsur kehidupan yang agak menyeronokkan dan yang mungkin dapat melegakan bebanan dan perasaan kepahitan dalam hidup ini. Walaupun saya seorang Muslim, tetapi keagamaan serta pengajaran Islam saya itu tidak dapat menolong saya menangani cabaran-cabaran serta godaan hidup yang telah saya mengharungi.

Untuk menolong saya melupakan pengalaman-pengalaman yang pahit saya juga telah cuba 'bereksperimen' dengan mengambil dadah. Pada mula-mulanya, ia hanya sekadar cuba-cuba sahaja. Dari jenis dadah yang agak 'lemah' sehingga jenis yang lebih kuat 'kick atau oomphnya' telah dicubai oleh saya.

Pendek kata, tidak lama kemudian. saya telah terjerumus ke dalam ketagihan najis dadah ini. Mula-mulanya, agak seronok juga menjamah dan merasai dadah itu. Itulah sebabnya saya tidak mengindahkan amaran-amaran tentang padahnya yang amat berat itu! Tidak lama kemudian, ketagihan kepada najis dadah ini semakin lebih mencekikkan bahkan menjadi satu bebanan berat yang tidak dapat saya melepaskan.

Saya telah terpaksa mencari dos-dos dadah lebih kerap untuk memuaskan nafsu itu. Kekerapan itu menjadikan saya seperti binatang buas yang sentiasa memburu mangsa yang boleh membekalkan saya dengan dadah atau pun wang-duit yang dapat memperolehi sumber dadah itu. Ketagihan itu telah mengongkong saya ketahap keresahan, kerisauan dan kedesakan yang amat sangat. Akhir kata, saya telah melakukan berbagai kegiatan-kegiatan jenayah untuk memperolehi wang dan sebagainya untuk mendapati dadah yang saya amat perlukan itu.

Pada satu hari, saya telah ditangkap oleh kerana kegiatan-kegiatan saya itu. Mereka telah menghantar saya ke pusat pemulihan untuk cuba mengubati 'penyakit' ketagihan saya ini. Sebagai seorang Islam, saya telah cuba berdoa dan bertaubat dan juga dirawati secara Islam, supaya saya sesungguhnya dapat dipulihkan daripada ketagihan najis dadah itu. Tetapi malangnya, semakin saya melakukan hal-hal itu, semakin ketat dan terkongkong saya merasai rantai-rantai ketagihan dadah telah mengikat jiwa saya!

Tidak lama kemudian, saya pun dilepaskan dari tempat tersebut, dengan harapan memulakan cara hidup yang baru dan yang bebas daripada kongkongan dan ikatan kepada ketagihan dadah. Tetapi walaupun begitu, saya masih tidak bebas daripada pengaruh ketagihan dadah itu. Dengan begitu mudahnya saya telah jerumus kembali kepada cara hidup yang lama, yaitu mencari dadah, rokok berganja dan sebagainya untuk puaskan nafsu dadah - kerana saya masih belum lagi bebas dari ikatannya bahkan ketagihannya masih lagi mendadak.

Selain dari itu, saya juga telah kembali melakukan kegiatan-kegiatan jenayah yang lebih serius dan merbahaya-untuk mendapat wang bagi membiayai ketagihan saya itu. Akhirnya, saya ditangkap sekali lagi, kini oleh pihak polis. Akibatnya, saya dimasuki ke Penjara sebagai hukuman jenayah itu. Hidup saya semakin pahit waktu menjalani hukuman penjara itu. Bukan saja saya terasa terkutuk dan kotor akibat najis dadah, semua ahli keluarga saya telah meninggalkan saya. Hanya Tuhan saja yang dapat fahami perasaan keresahan hati dan kekeciwaan saya kerana sudah tersisih oleh kawan-kawan saya dan juga pengabaian anggota keluarga saya itu!

Dalam keadaan itu, saya mulai mencari jalan keluar, yaitu jalan untuk dilepaskan dari jerat penjara dan 'penjara neraka' yang kini saya sedang mengharungi. Saya telah dengar dari penghuni-penghuni sepenjara yang lain bahwa, ada harapan untuk saya, mula-mula saya tidak mempercayai mereka. Tetapi saya telah pun melihat beberapa di antara banduan-banduan tersebut betul-betul berbeda daripada para penghuni penjara yang lain.

Saya pun telah mendekati mereka untuk mengetahui apakah rahsia pelepasan mereka dan pembebasan mereka daripada ikatan rantai serta penghambaan kepada ketagihan dadah. Dan saya dapat tahu satu hakikat yang sama diantara mereka semua. Nampaknya rahsianya ialah semua para penghuni penjara bersama saya, yang BEBAS DARIPADA KETAGIHAN DADAH, ialah penganut Kristian semuanya!

Dalam kedesakan saya, saya pun amat inginkan pembebasan daripada ketagihan yang sudah cukup lama ini mengikat hidup saya. Saya telah mengkaji dengan dalamnya ajaran-ajaran Nabi Isa alaihisalam dan Kitab Injil Baginda secara ikhlas dan dengan hati serta minda yang terbuka. Selain daripada ayat-ayat diatas yang telah saya renungi dan mengkaji, ada juga nas-nas seperti berikut :

Isa meneduhkan ribut - Injil Lukas 8 ayat 22-25 :

²² Pada suatu hari Isa bersama-sama dengan pengikut-pengikut-Nya menaiki sebuah perahu. Isa berkata kepada mereka, "Marilah kita pergi ke seberang tasik." Lalu mereka bertolak. ²³ Ketika mereka sedang berlayar, Isa tidur. Angin ribut bertiup ke tasik itu dan perahu itu pun dimasuki air sehingga mereka cemas. ²⁴ Isa bangun lalu menengking angin dan ombak yang kencang itu. Ribut itu pun berhenti dan menjadi teduh. ²⁵ Mereka pergi kepada Isa dan mengejutkan-Nya. Mereka berkata, "Tuan, Tuan, perahu kita hampir tenggelam." "Siapakah orang ini sehingga angin dan air menurut perintah-Nya?" Isa berkata kepada mereka, "Di manakah imanmu?" Mereka pun takut dan hairan serta berkata sesama sendiri,

Saya sangat tertarik kepada ayat-ayat Injil yang berikut, yang menjelaskan pergumulan saya secara rohani dan peribadi, malah amat mirip dengan pengalaman saya sendiri bergumul dengan pengikatan ketagihan dadah atas jiwa dan raga saya.

Isa menyembuhkan seorang yang dirasuk roh jahat - Injil Lukas 8 : 26 - 39

²⁶ Mereka berlayar ke wilayah Gerasa yang berseberangan dengan Tasik Galilea. ²⁷²⁸ Setelah Isa mendarat, seorang lelaki dari bandar itu datang menemui-Nya. Orang itu telah dirasuk roh jahat dan sudah lama dia tidak berpakaian. Dia tidak tinggal di rumahnya lagi tetapi di gua kubur. Ketika dia melihat Isa, dia berteriak lalu sujud di hadapan-Nya dan berkata dengan suara yang lantang, "Mengapakah Engkau mengganggu aku, ya Isa, Anak Allah Yang Maha Tinggi? Aku minta janganlah seksa aku." ²⁹ Dia berkata demikian kerana Isa telah memerintah roh jahat itu keluar daripadanya. Dia seringkali dikuasai oleh roh jahat itu. Oleh sebab itu, dia dikawal ketat dan tangan serta kakinya dirantai orang. Tetapi dia dapat memutuskan rantai itu dan dibawa oleh roh jahat ke padang gurun. ³⁰ Isa bertanya kepadanya, "Siapakah namamu?" Dia menjawab, "Legiun" kerana dia telah dirasuk oleh banyak roh jahat. ³¹ Roh-roh jahat itu memohon kepada Isa supaya tidak menghalau mereka ke neraka.

³² Kebetulannya, di bukit itu ada sekawan babi sedang makan. Roh-roh jahat itu memohon kepada Isa supaya Dia membenarkan mereka masuk ke dalam babi-babi itu dan Isa membenarkannya. ³³ Roh-roh jahat itu keluar daripada orang tadi dan masuk ke dalam babi. Kemudian kawanan babi itu menyerbu ke tempat curam dan terjun ke dalam tasik lalu mati lemas.

³⁴ Setelah penjaga-penjaga babi itu menyaksikan apa yang telah terjadi, mereka berlari untuk menyebarkan hal itu di bandar dan di kampung-kampung sekitarnya. ³⁵ Orang ramai pun keluar untuk melihat apa yang telah terjadi. Mereka datang kepada Isa dan mendapati orang yang telah dibebaskan daripada roh jahat itu duduk di kaki Isa dengan berpakaian dan sudah siuman. Oleh itu, mereka pun ketakutan.

³⁶ Orang yang telah menyaksikan kejadian itu menceritakan kepada mereka bagaimana orang yang dirasuk roh jahat itu telah disembuhkan. ³⁷ Lalu semua penduduk wilayah Gerasa meminta Isa supaya meninggalkan mereka kerana mereka ketakutan. Isa pun menaiki perahu untuk pulang. ³⁸ Orang yang telah dibebaskan daripada roh jahat itu meminta Isa membenarkan dia mengikut bersama-sama dengan-Nya tetapi Isa menyuruh dia pulang ³⁹ dan berkata, "Pulanglah ke rumahmu dan khabarkan segala perbuatan Allah untukmu." Orang itu pergi menyebarkan segala perbuatan Isa untuknya di seluruh bandar itu.

Ya saudaraku yang dikasihi, pengalaman saya dengan ketagihan itu dadah mirip seperti dirasuki oleh sejenis roh yang jahat. Saya telah didorongi dan dipaksa melakukan macam-macam jenayah serta kegiatan-kegiatan yang jahat, hanya untuk memuaskan ketagihan dadah saya itu. Tetapi sebenarnya ia tidak pernah 'dipuaskan' tetapi sebaliknya telah menjadi semakin mendadak, hari demi hari, minggu demi minggu, bulan demi bulan.

Walaupun saya dulunya seorang Muslim, dan telah cuba sedaya upaya diubat dan dirawati secara Islam, ia tidak berhasil seperti mana saya telah harapkan - yakni untuk benar-benar dilepaskan dari kongkongan dan pengaruh dadah yang laknat itu! Dan ini bukan hanya pengalaman saya seorang, tetapi pengalaman sangat ramai orang beragama Islam lain yang ketagih najis dadah. Sesungguhnya, ini adalah satu jerat dan perangkap jiwa dan raga yang amat siksakan!

Kini, saya berucap syukur Alhamdulillah dan Hallelujah kepada Sayidina Isa Al-Masih yang satu-satunya telah memberi pelepasan kepada saya, dari pengaruh dan ketagihan najis dadah itu. Sekarang segala rantai dan ikatan ketagihan dadah yang telah cukup lama menghambakan saya kepadanya serta kepada satu cara hidup yang begitu menghinakan, semua rantai-rantai tersebut sudah pun dimusnahkan oleh Rabbi Sayidina Isa dan kuasa Baginda!

Sesudah mencuba rawatan cara lama yaitu Islam, yang telah gagal membawa apa-apa hasil yang benar-benar bermanfaat, saya tidak sekali pun menyesal menaruh kepercayaan serta iman saya di dalam tangan dan kuasa Sayidina Isa Al-Masih - yang sesungguhnya memiliki segala kuasa, kekuatan dan kebolehan yang benar-benar ilahi untuk melepaskan mereka yang benar-benar mengingini suatu hidup baru. Inilah pengalaman hidup saya yang benar dan tidak dapat dinafikan.

Hal yang menarik sekali dalam pengalaman ini ialah saya tidak sekali pun diberi apa-apa makanan atau meminum 'holy water' dan sebagainya dalam pemulihan saya daripada ketagihan dadah. Hanya iman saya, keyakinan dan kepatuhan kepada sabda Sayidina Isa dan kuasa firman Baginda telah telah mengangkat saya keluar daripada ngarai gelap dan jerat dadah itu dengan sepenuhnya! Sebenarnya, ura-ura kononnya umat Kristian mengguna 'holy water' atau 'air suci' untuk mengumpan dan mempengaruhi orang-orang Islam adalah suatu pembohongan tidak berasas sama sekali!

Malangnya ada umat Islam yang tidak bertanggung jawab yang suka mewar-warkan heboh yang tidak berasas ini untuk mengelirukan umat Islam sendiri. Satu lagi kekarutan yang lazim dihebohkan oleh mereka ialah 'holy water'/air suci ini diperbuat di Vatican City, Roma! Saya mengakui ada banyak orang Islam, yang mempercayai kepada kekarutan seperti itu dan masih menjadikan itu sebagai pegangan mereka. Itulah sebab dan punca bagi banyak lagi kesalah-fahaman kita terhadap ajaran-ajaran Sayidina Isa dan Injilnya yang sebenar.

Banyak sekali 'kecurigaan' umat Islam terhadap ajaran Kristian tidak berasas langsung atau pun berlandaskan kepada kekarutan belaka. Dan kekarutan ini berasas kepada pra-sangka, buruk sangka dan salah-tafsiran mengenai ajaran Isa yang begitu ketara. Isu 'holy water' di atas adalah salah satu dalil jelas yang membuktikan kekarutan yang masih dianuti oleh sesetengah pihak umat Islam yang masih sangat jahil.

Jika kita sesungguhnya memihak kepada kebenaran, saya harap kita boleh dengan lebih cerdas lagi cuba memahami ajaran-ajaran Kristian dengan sikap yang jauh lebih terbuka. Marilah kita benar-benar mengadakan dialog dan perbincangan dua-hala tanpa prasangka yang tidak berasas, tanpa agenda atau hasrat lain yang dirahsiakan. Saya kira hanya dengan pengkajian dan permuafakatan dua-hala yang terbuka seperti ini, dapat kita benar-benar mencungkil kesalahfahaman di antara umat kita bersama, dan juga membina rukun hidup bersama-sama antara-umat yang beragama yang saling hormat-menghormati.

Bagi saya sendiri, hakikatnya ialah dulunya saya hidup tersisih dan terbuang disebabkan oleh ketagihan dan ikatan kepada pengaruh dadah. Tidak ada sebarang jalan keluar bagi saya selain daripada kuasa ilahi sabda dan firman Isa Al-Masih serta pengampunan dan penebusan melalui Baginda, yang hari ini menjadi pegangan saya setiap masa. Sebab itulah saya sekarang bebas dari sebarang kemahuan dadah, dan saya telah disatukan kembali dengan keluarga saya yang tersayang! Inilah satu hakikat dan pengalaman saya yang tidak dapat dinafikan.

Segala kemuliaan dan kebesaran adalah hanya untuk Sayidina Isa dan Tuhan yang Maha Esa!

A Sunni Muslim Became A Christian (Zana)

It all started in late 1980’s when I was detained by the Iranian police for no reason. They thought that I had some connections with Kurdish political parties that were opposing the Islamic Republic. I did not have any connection with any political party or anything of that sort. Months went by without them even letting my family know where I was. Finally, the day came when I was brought into court. The Judge asked me three questions that were asked of many people:

1. What is your name? -- I said Zana.
2. What is your ethnicity? -- I said I am a Kurd.
3. What is your religion? -- I said that I am a Sunni Muslim.

I was taken out of the court, thrown back into my cell and I was beaten all night. Next morning, they put me on a bus headed back to Mahabad, my city in Kurdistan. On the bus, I was sitting next to a man. He opened his bag and took out a sandwich which was wrapped in newspaper. I was very hungry since I had not eaten regular food in almost six months. I did not want to look at his food but I just couldn't stand the smell of the kabobs. He turned around and asked me if I would like one. Without hesitating as we usually do in Iranian culture, I asked for one. Instead of one, he gave me two out of the three that he had with him. I asked for his name and he said that his name was Yacub. I had never heard that name before. So I asked, "What kind of name is this?" He said "Hebrew". "Ahh, so you are a Jew?" I asked back. "No, I am a Christian", he said. I had heard a lot of negative things about Christians in the Quran so I did not want to get into a conversation about Christianity. But something inside me made me wonder why he believed in it (Christianity)? I asked if he believed that Jesus was the son of God. The answer was yes. How could God have a wife? How could God have sex? He started explaining that to say that God had sex with Mary is the greatest sin. But rather Jesus is the son of God in a spiritual way and not like the way we are born. And we never say that God ever had a wife, we believe in a holy God. I wanted to stop the conversation and begin a different subject. I could not think of any other subject, so I asked him why he was going to Kurdistan. He said that a friend needed some help with something. I asked for his name he said Zana. That was my name. But I thought it was a different person. He opened his bag and very quietly gave me a Bible. He put it in my bag. He knew that if someone saw him with that book it could cost him his life. I asked what it was. He told me that I would find out later.

We got to Mahabad and I got off the Bus before he did. I got my bag and was waiting outside for Yacub (Jacob) to come off, but the bus was empty and he still had not come out. I went to the driver and asked him where the man sitting next to me had gone? To my astonishment and confusion he said, "There was no man sitting next to you." Was I crazy or what? I said maybe I was dreaming. But I still had the taste of the sandwich in my mouth. I still had the book in my bag. What was Yacub? Who was he? Why didn't he go to his friend's house? Then I remembered that the friend's name was Zana and only then realized he meant me. I went home and found my mom in the house crying. She was so surprised and happy to see me. I asked what had happened since I had been gone. I found out that soldiers were looking for me and that she was raped by a Jaush (Kurdish for "traitor"). When I heard that, I felt like somebody was hitting me in the back with sticks. I went to my room and wept like a baby. I could not believe that this really had happened.

That night when I asked for my older brother Hasan at dinner, they all started crying. They told me that he was hanged. I felt like the food was going through my back. I could not eat. I got up and went to my room for some more weeping. I felt like the whole world was on my shoulders and I felt like I was carrying the rocks. I had nothing to do, so I took out the book and started reading. After reading the first chapters of the book of Genesis, I went to read the Injil. I started reading the book of Matthew. I was surprised. I had never seen anything like this. I stopped at chapter ten and just went to bed. I still could hear my Mom and sister crying downstairs. The neighbors came to cheer them up and talk to them. Next morning life was normal, so I went and visited my brother's grave. Life became normal again until one night in my dream Yacub appeared and told me that I must leave my country. I knew something was up so I went and hid at a friend's house. I did not want to leave the country; I loved it.

Sometime after, I sneaked back to my house at night and discovered that soldiers had been in my house and they were looking for me. Now this time, it was my sister that was raped by the soldiers for no reason. My brother who was executed had some ties to the Kurdish political parties. But what had I done wrong, or what had my sister done wrong? Is this what they call an Islamic Republic? All I could think of was suicide. But I would now leave so many people behind. If it was not for my family I would have killed myself. I knew that Yacub was telling me something. But what? Help me Yacub; what do you want me to do? I went to my room and packed whatever I could because I was going to leave the country. I took the Bible with me and headed for the mountains crossing the boarders into Iraq. I stopped in the middle of nowhere for a rest. I took out my book and read in it. When I came to Matthew 11:28 "Come to me all who are heavy laden and weary and I will give you rest," I was shocked and did not know what to think because the book kind of read my mind. It had what my heart longed for. I found what I was looking for. I found what met my personal needs. Right there in the middle of the night I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I couldn't believe the changes that were happening inside of me. I felt a kind of peace that could not be expressed by words. I was relieved. I could feel all of the weight that I felt on my shoulders coming off. I now understood God and what he was like. It was a good thing that I did not commit suicide. The Lord had a plan for me. I now knew who Yacub was -- an angel. It was very hard to believe. I myself found it hard to believe. But an angel would be the best answer.

I now forgave all of those that done wrong to me. Instead of cursing, I prayed for the salvation of the people who had beaten me in prison. I am grateful for having such a wonderful experience. My sincere prayer is that God Almighty will show you the truth. I am willing to help you find the truth. I can be reached at the following address: Masihim@yahoo.com

Kebiasaan Yang Salah dalam Mengusir Setan sebelum Ibadah dimulai

Sering terjadi kesalahan dalam doa sebelum ibadah bahwa kita menyuruh Tuhan untuk menghancurkan kuasa iblis dan mengusir roh-roh iblis.

Yang benar adalah bahwa KITA sendirilah yang harus mematahkan dan menghancurkan kuasa iblis dan mengusir semua roh iblis dari tempat di mana kita beribadah.

Karena Tuhan Yesus selalu ingin bekerja melalui diri kita, oleh karena itu Dia memberikan kuasaNya buat kita yang percaya kepadaNya.

Kalau firman Allah dilakukan dengan tepat maka hasilnya juga pasti akan tepat dan memuaskan.

(Markus 6:13; Markus 16:17)

Prophecy - "WHO DO YOU CHOOSE TO BE YOUR POTTER... I, YAHUVEH, OR HARRY POTTER!"

"Foolish ones, oh foolish ones! Those that I, YAHUSHUA, desire to call MINE, though you call yourselves MINE and yet why do you say you love ME and not obey ME? How can you call ME Lord and yet you disobey MY scriptures. Since when does the servant rule the Master? You do not even hear MY still small voice when I warn of the dangers of sorcery and demonic possessions through what your eyes see and your ears hear. Because of this, your children are becoming possessed through the films, books, and video games that are a steady diet of occult, sorcery, demonism, satanism and shamanism.

Repent today! Turn away from this evil. Turn your children instead to I, YAHUVEH, and YAHUSHUA. We alone are to be the potter of you and your children's clay. They are to be molded in our image not Harry Potter's. Even the name was chosen for a purpose, to mold your children into the image of the fictional character of Harry Potter. Does not MY Scriptures say, "Train up a child in the way he shall go and when he is old he will not depart from it." What are you doing? Oh foolish ones. You are training your children up to be warlocks, shamans, witches and Satanists. Oh what a price you will pay when your own children turn on you with evil spirits that will make you wonder, where did your children go? You will look at them with eyes of wonder, for your innocent babes will be possessed with every kind of evil spirit.

Why will I allow these innocents to be harmed in this way, where their very soul will be endangered? Because I gave the parents a choice, even the heathens know better, for they know that children are not to have occult powers. They realize that witchcraft is a sin and yet your own airwaves promote this, even to the children through sitcoms. Do you boycott the television stations or boycott the advertisers? NO, you remain silent and warn no one. Does not MY Word say, 'Suffer a witch to be burned in hell and the Lake of Fire,' they shall burn after they die if they do not repent. Oh MY foolish ones this is the penalty you shall pay.

They shall burn in hell and the Lake of Fire after they die, if they do not repent. Oh MY foolish ones. This is the penalty you shall pay for taking your children to the Harry Potter film, they shall become possessed. They shall turn on you in rebellion, in ways you never dreamed of. For these are your own innocent children, who relied on you to teach them right from wrong, yet you encourage them to view and study witchcraft, satanism, shamanism, demonism, in what you deem is a harmless movie or in harmless books full of humor and yet feeding them this diet of evil, knowing it is evil and laughing at this evil. How can you call yourselves parents?

Parents protect MY innocent children. Their minds are so pliable and instead of good being planted, you allow this evil Harry Potter to plant evil in your children's minds, bodies, spirits, and souls, as they seek these demonic powers and yes multitudes will receive this power. What you laugh about is a reality. There are some who are possessed with demons that can take on some of these evil powers and the power is not only in MY Holy Word but also the evil ones know that there is power in demonic chants and words. These words and deeds you will find in the Harry Potter books and films. Parents you are responsible for feeding your children food, both physical and spiritual food. You don't feed your children poison, so why would you allow satan to feed your children poison? Poison to your soul and your children's mind, body, spirit and soul.

Satan mocks and laughs at you parents, as you lift the spoon to feed your children's souls this evil. It is more evil than before, in any film, or in any of the children's books. There is a spell cast on all by this evil reprobate worker of satan, who takes pride in her unholy acts of witchcraft. Evil spells have been cast on all her writings and the film has evil spells that causes anyone to watch to think wouldn't this be wonderful, if I had this kind of power? This opens one up to the mind-controlling, mind-manipulating, mind-altering, power hungry, anti-christ spirit. Walk-in spirits will easily walk in to all those that open up this door to their mind, body spirit and soul. There have been spells, chants and incantations put on the books and film and all that comes forth from anything to do with Harry Potter, to cause a hunger for more knowledge of the occult and a hunger to rebel and spells to mock I, YAHUVEH, and YAHUSHUA and all that is holy and to accept what I, YAHUVEH, have called unholy. To accept what MY Holy Scriptures forbid.

Your children are paying and will pay a price, for you foolish parents have allowed this evil into your homes, and allowed this evil into their ears and allowed them to view it with their eyes. Shame on all who do these atrocities and call themselves MINE. Repent today and turn away from this evil or don't call yourself MINE anymore for I won't even know you. Be warned, do you not yet understand? Pray and discern whether this be truth and whether it lines up with MY Holy Scriptures. If it does not, then don't listen to this apostle's warnings that I am speaking through her now. Encouraging your children to read and watch films glorifying the occult is an abomination unto I, YAHUVEH, and YAHUSHUA! Listen up, learn and discern.

This is the same as passing your children through the fire. This is the same as sacrificing your children to Molech. Don't you dare think you're called MINE when you sacrifice MY Children, not only in abortions, but now even endangering them by sacrificing their souls? Opening their souls and spirits up to all that I call unholy. Don't you yet realize that satan wants your children's souls? Satan wants to bring anarchy to your homes and the spirit of rebellion, murder, thievery, and disobedience, oh this comes with various ages, and environments of children just from living in this wicked world. How much more will it be for all those that allow their children to feed on this evil? Encourage this evil, and yet call themselves Christians or Jews. Even those worshipping a heathen god like Buddha or Allah, be warned when I say all children, this means you also.

I, YAHUVEH, gave you children with a mandate to protect your little ones. I, YAHUVEH, put a maternal instinct in the mothers of children to protect them even at the cost of their lives. Fathers, I have put this in you also, to provide and care and protect your families. How can you do this atrocity in MY eyes. Where are the spiritual leaders warning about this film and the books that just increase in evil with every volume? Do you not realize what satan is doing and will be doing to a greater degree? Picture demon possessions of children all over the world, in every language, where even the parents will fear their own children, picture these children and anyone that views this movie becoming possessed and their hearts growing colder and colder and faith dying out like an ember because of the spirit of rebellion to laugh at what I have forbidden.

You parents who endanger your children's souls like this, do not even realize how angry you have made I, YAHUVEH, and YAHUSHUA. It is better that a millstone be hung around your neck and you drowned. Don't expect ME to hear your prayers, when you cry out to ME when you see the children possessed. Did you listen to ME when I warned you with MY RUACH ha KODESH? I will hear your prayers to the degree you have listened to ME to warn you not to let your children be entertained with what I have forbidden you to study, or to take part in the teachings of devils. Don't be surprised when your little ones start practicing casting spells. Don't be surprised when your little ones turn on you in hatred. Don't be surprised, for you fed them these evil books that teach everything against the only Good Book.

How many of you parents are buying merchandise for your children and don't even realize it is witchcraft, with spells rooted in satanism and it is causing you to spend money by giving it to satan and his works each time you do this. Don't be surprised when the spirit of poverty comes to you for doing this. Don't be surprised when children start killing each other and sacrificing their own animals. Don't be surprised when demons walk in to your children and you no longer have a child that wants to read the Bible or even hear the Name of the God you serve; when your child will hate all that is Holy.

I tell you this: I, YAHUVEH, am the POTTER, you and your children are to be MY clay. I, YAHUVEH, am to mold you, not Harry Potter. The growth of this evil potter that will plant in your minds and in that of your children, that casting spells is harmless and controlling and manipulating others is the thing to do. Beware, for your children all over the world, in every language will become possessed, and if you don't see it right away, don't be surprised, for some demonic possessions will not be noted right away, for the demons will lay dormant and in wait. Do you realize how many souls will be sacrificed to satan because of this occult film and all the books that you fed your children? Do you realize this is real and those practicing the black arts, shamanism, satanism, are not laughing at the film and books, they are laughing at all those that don't take this seriously.

Forbid your children to be taken to this film or to read the books. If you have the books in the house or in your grandchildren's house, pray over the books, cast the curses off of the books, plead the Blood of YAHUSHUA over the books, ask MY forgiveness if you have sinned and encouraged this in any way. Come to ME in the name of YAHUSHUA and burn those books. Boycott the schools that allow this to be part of its curriculum. Get the teachers fired if they insist to teach your children witchcraft. Forbid them to feed your children anymore of this evil. The teachers will regret this. The schools that take part in this will regret this, for if they think they have problems now with the students, just wait until what the children view in the Harry Potter movie and books is used to experiment on the teachers and parents. Satan will give your children the occult powers to harm. Your own children shall become your worst enemies.

Repent today! Turn away from this evil. Turn your children instead to I, YAHUVEH, and YAHUSHUA. We alone are to be the potter of you and your children's clay. They are to be molded in our image, not Harry Potter's. Even the name was chosen for a purpose, to mold your children into the image of the fictional character of Harry Potter. Demonic spirits are waiting and watching to see who will open themselves up to demonic possessions through the gates of this movie and the books. There is no good knowledge to be gained through the books or movie, so why do you endanger MY precious little ones? Demons are walking into your children. Children will walk into the theaters, but it won't be your children that walk out.

You have been warned! You won't notice it right away. Some will and some parents won't, but I tell you your children will be taken over, little by little, the more they feed on this addiction that is going around the world, not for a drug or sex but for the feeding frenzy of learning and studying and practicing the black arts of the occult, setting the world up for the anti-christ system to be accepted more readily. Remember the anti-christ will do the things your children read in the Harry Potter books and films and even more.

Parents who call themselves MINE and don't repent and warn others, know this: because of your rebellion I, YAHUVEH, will turn a deaf ear when you pray, and dare to face ME after I have warned you and when you come weeping to ME and I will say, "You were warned" and now you shall feed on MY wrath and you won't like the taste of it. All of Heaven watches and you are surrounded with a cloud of witnesses. How many after this prophetic warning will care enough and warn others. You are held accountable for what you know. Don't say you don't know, for even before I spoke out of this apostle of mine, you know I demand you protect your children and how can you say this is protecting your children. America, where is your repentance before ME? Why do you keep heaping judgments upon your head? I hear prayers going forth in YAHUSHUA's Name, yet where is the turning away of sin?

England, you have brought judgment from Heaven upon you. Repent, for this wickedness comes from your own land. England, you have done nothing to stop it. Why? How can MY spiritual leaders stay silent? Why are not the churches putting warnings out in newspapers and on the airwaves? Why are not MY Children boycotting every store and product that promotes this witchcraft and demon possessions? Why are not the parents protesting, and refusing to allow the schools to feed your children what you have not fed your children.

Beware the more the steady of a diet of this evil; the more the demonic possessions will be quite evident. Parents, is this really worth your children's souls? All who feed on this diet of the occult, is this worth your souls? Depart from ME, ye workers of inequity, I, YAHUVEH, and YAHUSHUA will not know you, if you don't repent and turn back to Holiness, and repent for staying silent. Where are MY other apostles and prophets that should be sounding the shofar horn warning of the danger to mind, body, spirit and soul, of all who view this film, and read the books? You have been warned. Now it is your choice.

Who do you choose to be your potter I, YAHUVEH, and YAHUSHUA or Harry Potter? That film and books will only mold you and your children into all that is unholy. It is your choice. Don't say I don't send MY Apostles and Prophets to warn before I send MY judgment. Even the ground shakes in fear at the anger of I, YAHUVEH. How much more should you who are commanded to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. I admonish you now, and tell you the blood of the children all over the world will be on your hands, for you did not warn them.

The blood of the unborn babies which are aborted, tortured, used in medical experiments, in cosmetics and sacrificed for selfish reasons is on your hands. There is no good reason to kill innocent babes. All who do this will answer to ME on Judgment Day, if they don't repent and warn others. Now you have a new blood of the children on your hands, all because you refuse to warn others not to feed your children the occult as a food for your mind, body, spirit, and soul. Harry Potter will mold your children into witches, warlocks, and Satanists casting spells that will terrify you. Houses will become possessed with every kind of evil spirit. Plead the Blood of YAHUSHUA even on the commercials and speak up to even the television that endangers your children with the commercials that loose demonic spirits. Speak up to your radio stations. Boycott those that refuse to listen. Hit them where it hurts, their bank accounts. Speak up to the schools that promote this. Fight the spirit of the anti-christ, before it is too late.

Ask yourself, would your public school take the time to read the Holy Scriptures in a classroom? Would your public schools take your children to see a passion play of the life of YAHUSHUA? Then why are you allowing satan to teach your children? Get them out of the dens of the anti-christ before it is too late. The world's children are being groomed now just as surely as hair is groomed, therefore the name Harry Potter. This film, worldwide will be shown and yet it should not be received as the kind of grooming you want your children to have, nor even yourselves.

There has been a lot of planning by satanists to take over the minds, bodies, spirits and souls of you and your children, using the vessels that promote this evil. What are you going to do about it? It's your choice, for I will not help anyone that has the ability to warn and the knowledge, and yet endangers their children or the children of others by remaining silent. The walk-in spirits are laying in wait for your children, as well as yourself. What is the price of your soul? What is the price of your children's souls? I, YAHUVEH, have told MY Daughter Elisabeth to warn you. How many will listen? Warn even the heathen or the blood will be on your hands! There are those who have the knowledge to know how to assemble boycotts. Don't remain silent any longer or the blood is on your hands. This is only one vessel of clay that I have molded to speak forth these warnings, now what will you do to help her get this message to the masses of people?"

Your dream stirred up the anointing in me. People, why didn't this dream come from someone in America it seems Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, is listening and getting saved to a larger degree according to the emails I am receiving.
