【5】My story of when I came to believe in Jesus Christ (Salvation Testimony).  ③ The wondrous calm and tears that followed the miraculous liberation

③  The wondrous calm and tears that followed the miraculous liberation

In my memory, the miraculous event that liberated and healed me occurred around September 1987.

 It happened when I was 19 years old. 

Since that miraculous event, more than 35 years have passed as it is now 2023.

 I am currently 55 years old.

 I still offer prayers of gratitude to God for this miraculous liberation and healing. 

For my life and my own existence, this miraculous event of liberation and healing was overwhelming and definitive. 

Because it can be expressed as “a person who was dead came back to life.” 

Of course, I was alive and didn’t actually die. 

However, my state of being alive was incredibly agonizing and despairing. 

Therefore, I think that it is not an exaggeration to say that the experience of liberation and healing I went through can be described as ‘a person who was dead came back to life.’

 Now, let’s proceed with the discussion about the miraculous event of liberation and healing that occurred around September 1987.

 After I was completely released, tears began to flow endlessly.  

The tears were not the joyful tears after being released from suffering.

 Those tears were very comforting, deeply calming, and mysterious tears. 

 I felt a deep calmness in my heart and I was filled with a sense of peace.

 My heart was filled with peace.

 In that deep peace, the tears kept flowing, and flowing, and flowing.

After finishing my interaction with the Christian man at the church, I headed to another place. 

Even during the transition, I was filled with peace and tears kept flowing.

I now realize that the peace I felt after that miraculous liberation was the “peace of Jesus Christ.” 

It was truly the peace of Jesus Christ that is written in the Bible. 

At that time, I was filled with the peace of Jesus Christ.

 Even as I moved to another place, I was filled with peace and a sense of tranquility. 

Tears were flowing endlessly, continuously. 

And even after arriving at the other place, tears continued to flow.

At that time, I made up my mind.

 I decided that from now on I would live my life believing in Jesus Christ. 

Jesus Christ instantly and completely released me in a state of despair that could be said to be the end of my life. 

 It was an amazing event that could be said to be “the dead have come back to life.”
