GUIDANCE FROM GOD

In prison, one day often seemed like a whole week to me. There was nothing of interest to challenge the mind. Only fear, uncertainty, discouragement, and great sorrow. We were not permitted to stand or lie down at will, only when ordered to do so. Police guards watched us scornfully. Because I was a political prisoner they paid close attention to my every act. We were forbidden to cry or show any evidence of our anguish or sorrow. I could only sob out my grievances to myself and shed my tears alone. No one was permitted to visit us or to communicate with us in any way.

I worried about my wife, my parents, my brothers and sisters, my future and even my life. The more I thought about it, the more frightened and confused I became. Some days I was nearly crazy. My brain could not be quiet, and I could not control my thoughts or my emotions. I felt that I was losing my mind, and I did not know how to prevent it. It seemed to me that I had lost my soul already. From my professional training, I knew I was going into prison psychosis and depression.

At that moment, God knew my weakness and my condition. He knew that I could not bear my burdens alone. Just in time, one night, he showed me a vision. It was clear and powerful.

I saw a light pink curtain a short distance in front of me. It was drawn slowly across my area of vision from left to right. Immediately after the vision disappeared a strong voice came from above to my spirit, saying “See no one but Jesus only.”

The vision and the voice awakened me and gave me great strength and peace of mind. I remembered the words of Paul, “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” (II Cor. 4:8-9)

From that moment on, I knew I was not alone in the prison. Almighty God was with me and beside me. I heard his voice. I felt his presence. He was now teaching and protecting me. That was a spiritual sweetness as sweet as honey. I felt blessed and I could “rejoice in God my Savior,” even in prison.

From then on, I was able to shut out depressing and fearful thoughts about my family and the future. I could center my thoughts on Jesus only, and I began to recollect the Bible’s teachings and its stories one by one. By humming remembered hymn tunes and recalling the words. I learned how to praise God in my darkest and most dangerous times. The Comforter taught me and cheered my heart through unceasing silent communication with Him. Happiness and deep inner comfort flowed through my spirit.
Soon, my confused mind and vexed heart became quiet and calm. Sighing and sadness were replaced by praying and praising. I felt real joy.

The guards and some of the other prisoners watching my changing attitudes thought that I had no affection for my loved ones. They could not understand why I could be happy. The police often asked me, “Are you so cold hearted that you never think of the welfare of your wife, your parents and yourself?

I just looked at them and did not answer. But in my heart I knew I really love my wife and my parents, even more than my own life. By God’s teaching and by His love I conquered the first big pain – sorrow and terror.

I wished that I could be free, but I had to obey God’s command, “See no one but Jesus only.” As a soldier of Jesus Christ on the battlefield fighting the devil. I knew that the most important attitide for me was to take up my cross and follow Him. He had said, “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more that me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not worthy of me.”
(Matthew 10:37-38)

I always hummed this song when I felt timid and discouraged.

Onward Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before. Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the for; Forward into battle, See, His banners go! Onward Christian soldiers! Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus, Going on before. -Sabrine Baring-Gould
