On November 9, 2003, a
19-year-old woman was baptized in my church and gave the following testimony: I choose this day to love and serve Jesus Christ as the Lord, the Messiah, the rest of my life. My name is Humaira Kahn Kabir (not her real name). I became a Christian 5 months ago. When I was 7 years old, I moved to Pakistan. I was injured, and I was in a coma. After 8 months, I came out of the coma. I was in a wheelchair, my eyes were open, but I couldn't move, and I couldn't talk to people at all. At this time in my life, I saw my 18-year-old brother die in front of me. Every Friday, I went to the mosque and slept there because I didn't have any hope from the doctors that I could walk again or talk. One night I was really upset. I went straight to the picture of Jesus [who is recognized as a prophet in Islam] and started talking to him: "Why did you keep me alive? Why didn't you just kill me? Why did you keep me alive so I could see my 18-year-old brother dying in front of me?" My head was on the floor, and I was crying. Suddenly somebody squeezed my shoulder and said, "I kept you for something special." I looked back, and it was the same person who was in the picture. I fainted. In the morning I woke up—my grandpa woke me—and he said, "You fell asleep all night on the floor." I looked at him and said, "He was here. He was right here." My grandpa said, "Who?" Then he said, "Oh my gosh, you're talking again." I said, "He was right here. Where is he now?" My grandpa said, "Who?" "This guy [pointing at the picture of Jesus]. He told me he kept me for something special." "Sweetie, that's not true, because he died a long time ago. Remember, I told you that story." I said, "No, I saw what I saw," and I stood up. My grandpa had a hard time believing me, but there was a part of him that wondered because he saw me talking and walking again. I kept that memory in my heart, just a vision, and no one believed me at all. Everyone kept laughing at me. So that's why I chose to get baptized in the name of Jesus, but in my heart I am already baptized in the Holy Spirit.  Quote this article on your site | Views: 547 | Print | E-mail
