[Member’s Story] Vivienne Chang 張譯心见证分享

从台北搬到马来西亚的前几年,我常疑惑上帝对我的旨意是什么?我在2004年信主,那时只是个星期天基督徒,心里一直想更进一步认识神,但是神的话语与我的生活没有交集,我的人生顺序与时间安排是工作第一、家庭第二、神第三。因此,我的工作让我耗尽心力,即便很有成就感也领有高薪,还是觉得不够能补偿我付出的努力,每天浸泡在职场的世界里,致力快速解决每天发生的问题,我嘴里讲信靠神,但是却没有把神摆第一,没时间给神,无法由神来掌管我的生命。

马太福音五章6节:「饥渴慕义的人有福了,因为他们必得饱足…

因为渴慕神的同在,我进入圣灵第四波教会,开始操练方言祷告,操练倾听神的声音,学习治死老我,学习敏感于圣灵的同在与属灵世界的变化,这些都是过去的教会没有教导的,因着信,我辞掉过去摆第一的工作,耶稣马上就要来了,没有时间拖延了,工作不能让我进天国。没想到,上帝赐福我的先生让他支持我的决定,也让我们没有财务的困难,让我可以专心仰望神,为家人以及教会的弟兄姊妹代祷。

帖撒罗尼迦前书五章16 – 18节:「要常常喜乐,不住的祷告,凡事谢恩,因为这是神在基督耶稣里向你们所定的旨意。

在加入圣灵第四波教会的三年半中,我的父母陆续信主,领受到神丰盛慈爱的恩典,我的好友也决志信主,我才领会到上帝把我放在这个地方、这个教会有其最美好的旨意,借着祷告让我把我未信的家人与朋友带到神的面前,让他们知道他们都是神最宝贵的孩子,感谢主!

透过生命事工大金牧师与郭牧师的教导,我明白不要以身为基督徒自满,也不要以为自己已经拿到进天国的通行证,今天有救恩的确据不代表明天也会有,我渴望每天建立与神的亲密关系,每天活出圣洁的生活,每天更有主耶稣的样式来为主作见证,才不负于基督徒的身份,将一切荣耀赞美都归于主。

[English Translation]

Before moving from Taipei to Malaysia, I often wondered why God put me here and what God’s purpose is on me. I was a Sunday Christian after baptising in 2004. I wanted to get to know God but I did not embody the Word of God in my life. My priority and time allocation was Career First, Family Second, and God Third. I was very exhausted at work because of this. Even though my career gave me a sense of achievement and high pay, I felt I was not compensated enough based on my work performance and achievements. I continuously sought for higher rewards and position by putting more efforts on my work. My lips spoke faith to God but I did not depend on God,  put him first, repent for my sin, and let God minister my life.

Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully…(Matthews 5:6, GNB)

Due to a greater desire of God’s presence, I joined “Fourth Wave Christian Centre” in 2012 to learn how to pray in tongue, listen to God’s voice inside me, die to self, and be sensitive to Holy Spirit and spiritual realm. Those were new to me. Last year I decided to quit the job which was highly valued in my 20-year career. Jesus is coming very soon. We don’t have enough time to prepare our oil as wise virgins if we are slow in actions. My career cannot guarantee the entrance to Heavenly Kingdom. Great thanks to God for his grace to bless my husband and our finance so my husband supported my decision to quit the job and didn’t make any noises afterwards. Therefore, I am able to stay focus on God and spend a good deal of time to intercede for my family and church friends. 

Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, GNB)

During 3 and half years in Fourth Wave, my parents baptised in Taipei church. They received lots of grace and healing from God. And then my best friend in Taiwan made a sinner’s prayer when she visited me in Penang. I started to realise the purpose of God for me. He wants me to bring my family and friends to the throne of God through daily prayers so they can receive the love of God and His salvation. Thank you Lord. 

From the teaching of Pastor King of Zoe Ministry and Pastor Isaiah, I learnt I should not be content with my Christian identity. I should not believe I have already got the pass of entering the kingdom of God. I desire to build a close relationship with God, live a holy life, and develop Christlike attributes every day in order to build a good testimony in front of unbelievers. Lord, your name is worthy to be praised and glorified.
