A Story on Ghost Month
The seventh lunar month (Ghost month) has finally come to an end, I would like to share my experience of a paranormal event and how the incident turned my family to Christ.
Several years ago, there was a paranormal incident in my house. At that time, there were only mom, dad, and sisters in the house. My sister was the first to discover the supernatural phenomenon. From time to time, they would see black and white shadows wandering around the house. Sometimes standing at the door of their room, sometimes standing beside their bed, staring directly at them, which was so scary and terrified them. Later on, my sisters also heard the sound of heavy chains dragging on the ground.
The atmosphere at our house was very intense and suppressed. My sisters were so frightened that they couldn’t sleep and in the night, they would keep the lights on till morning. There was this time when my sister even cried out of fear. I suggested to my dad that we should invite my pastor to the house to do house cleansing for our house, but since my whole family is not a believer except me, my dad rejected this proposal.
Later on, the supernatural phenomenon got more severe, and the shadows often appeared around us. Mom also began to see what we called black and white shadows. Dad tried to seek help from the experts (ShiFu) and perform rituals, but the supernatural phenomenon still failed to stop, in fact, it got worse.
This incident lasted for several months until my sisters couldn’t stand it anymore, and none of them dared to go home. My dad was very upset and asked me, why are they not coming home? I replied to him because there are ghosts in the house, so everyone dares not come home. After that, I finally persuaded my father to let my pastor come to the house to do house cleansing. At first, my dad was worried about whether the pastor would have to hang a cross, sprinkle holy water, or yell to chase the evil spirits away like in the movies. But in fact, the whole cleansing prayer process is very simple. The only condition is that my parents must be present. Because as the head of the family, he has the authority to let the evil spirits leave our home.
The pastor did a cleansing prayer for us, in the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus. After the prayers, for the first time, my sisters could sleep soundly without the lights on from that night onwards. The supernatural phenomena have also ceased, and no evil spirits will harass us anymore. My family also witnessed the power of Jesus because of this incident, and all of them came to know Jesus.
As mentioned in the Bible:[Luke 10:20] “However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
I thank God for helping us during this special period, and through this incident, all my family’s names have been recorded in heaven. In fact, I have prayed for my family for more than 10 years, but I have never had the opportunity to preach the gospel to them, especially my dad. I thank Lord Jesus for using this special event to allow my family to witness the power of Christ and thus believe in Jesus.
In life, sometimes what we experienced may be bad, but once we can persist and trust the Lord, He can turn all bad things into good and bring us unexpected surprises.
All glory to Lord Jesus, Amen!
农历七月终于结束了，在此之前，我想跟大家分享一则我和我家人亲身经历的灵异事件，以及如何在经历这件事后，让我的家人都信了耶稣。
好几年前，我家里曾经发生过闹鬼事件。那时家里只有爸爸妈妈和妹妹们。我的妹妹是最先发现灵异现象的。她们时不时会看到黑影和白影在屋里游荡。有时站在她们的房间门口，有时还站在她们床边，眼睛直视着她们，使她们感到毛骨悚然。后来妹妹们还陆陆续续听到有铁链在地上拖拽的声音。
那会家里的气氛很紧张，搞得人心惶惶的。我的妹妹们都被吓得不敢睡觉，一直把灯开到天亮。有一次我的妹妹还被吓哭了。我就向我爸爸提议让我的牧师来家里为我们的房子做洁净祷告，但由于我们家除了我，都不是信主的，所以爸爸拒绝了这个提议。
后来这个灵异现象是越闹越凶，鬼影常常在我们周边出现。妈妈也开始看到我们所谓的黑影和白影。爸爸也尝试过请高人来看，进行拜拜等仪式，但灵异现象还是没能消停。
这件事持续了好几个月，到姐妹们都受不了了，全都不敢回家。我爸爸也很失落的问我，为什么家里越来越冷清了？我很无奈的回答道，因为家里有鬼，所以大家都不敢回家。在没有办法之下，我终于劝服我的爸爸，让一位牧师到家里来进行洁净祷告。一开始我的爸爸还很担心，牧师会不会像电影里的那样，要挂满十字架和洒圣水，大喊着驱赶邪灵等仪式。但其实整个祷告过程很简单，唯一条件就是我爸爸妈妈必须在场。因为他身为一家之主，有权威让邪灵离开我们家。
牧师为我们做了洁净祷告，只是奉耶稣的名和耶稣的宝血，就赶走了家里的邪灵。当天晚上，我的妹妹们可以关上灯，久违的睡了个好觉，一觉到天亮。灵异现象也都停止了，再也没有邪灵来骚扰我们。我的家人也因为这件事，见证了耶稣的能力，后来都信主了。
就如路加福音所说：
【路加福音10:20】
“然而，不要因鬼服了你们就欢喜，要因你们的名记录在天上欢喜。”
我感谢主在这特殊的时期帮助了我们，还通过这件事令我家人的名字都记录在天上了。其实我为我的家人祷告了10多年，但我一直没机会向他们传福音，尤其是我的爸爸。我感谢主耶稣用这种特殊的方式，让家人见证到耶稣的能力，从而信了主。
有时候我们经历的事情乍看之下是不好的，但一旦我们能坚持住信靠主，他可以把一切不好的转换为好的，并给我们带来意想不到的惊喜。
感谢主。荣耀归主，阿门！
