我重生得救的见证
我叫吴常虹， 1992年成为中央美术学院美术史系的研究生。在学校我遇见了一个基督徒的好朋友叫姜陶， 她是民间美术系的本科生。姜陶的性格很内向，但她常常来找我，跟我讲耶稣基督的事。中午，晚上吃饭的时候讲耶稣，周末逛街的时候也讲耶稣。她只对耶稣感兴趣。我当时已经结婚，刚读研究生，功课也很忙。我想姜陶因为孤独需要耶稣，我很忙不需要耶稣。她一直不停邀请我去参加她们的大学生团契。
过了第一学期，1993年年初，因为姜陶的恳切邀请，我同意跟她一起去大学生的聚会看看。周日的一大早，姜陶来我的宿舍敲门，她约我7：30见面，7：25我还在床上。我很勉强地跟她去教会。他们的聚会当时在北京白塔寺的胡同里，我跟着她在胡同里七转八拐，来到一个四合院。进去以后，看见有十几个人在聚会，很多是大学生。他们一会儿笑，一会儿哭。我听不懂他们在讲什么，因为没有读过圣经。我也不喜欢他们的状态，认为他们不能控制自己。
聚会的时候，讲员在讲圣灵的时候，引起了我的注意力。他说许多人追求被圣灵充满，有一个人祷告了半年，终于得到了圣灵的洗礼。这时我听见一个声音，要我邀请圣灵进入我的心里。当大家结束聚会时，一起低头祷告。我在心里说：我要圣灵。我立刻被圣灵充满，我的心里充满对神的赞美，我的舌头不能控制要发出声音。大家听见了我的声音，就问我发生了什么。我告诉他们在我心里发生的事，他们都非常激动，按手为我祷告，赞美神。
我的心里充满喜悦，回到美院的宿舍，从枕头下面找出姜陶送我的小圣经。我以前一直没有读过，我不想读，也不能读，因为考研究生我用眼过度, 眼睛肿痛不能看书。但我翻开圣经时，发现神医治了我的眼睛，同时我心中渴望读神的话语，而且我能读懂圣经。从那天起，我花了半年时间通读圣经。第二周我就邀请我的丈夫一起去聚会，我的丈夫也被讲道感动，决志信主。我们夫妻在1993年的复活节前一周，怀柔密云水库，由美国牧师和中国的带领人施洗。
明年2023年，我们将信主三十年. 我们的生命经历了许多神迹奇事，和祂奇妙的作为。我多么感恩-----能认识主耶稣基督，被圣灵引领。
My Chinese name is Wu Changhong. I became a graduate student in the Department of Art History of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1992. At school, I met a Christian friend named Jiang Tao, an undergraduate in the department of Folk Art. Jiang Tao was very introverted, but she often came to me and told me about Jesus Christ. Jesus at noon, at dinner, and on weekend shopping. She was only interested in Jesus. I was married, had just started graduate school, and was very busy. I thought Jiang Tao needed Jesus because she was lonely. I was busy and didn't need Jesus. She kept asking me to join her college fellowship at least once.
After the first semester, at the beginning of 1993, I agreed to go to the college students' fellowship with Jiang Tao because of her earnest invitation. Early on Sunday morning, Jiang Tao came to my dormitory and knocked on the door. She asked me to meet her at 7:30, and I was still in bed at 7:25. I reluctantly went to church with her. Their meeting was in the alley of Baita Temple in Beijing, and I followed her around the path to a courtyard house. After entering, I saw a dozen people gathering, many college students. They were alternately laughing and crying. I couldn't understand what they were saying because I had never read the Bible. Also, I wouldn't say I liked their state and thought they couldn't control themselves.
At the meeting, the speaker caught my attention as he spoke about the Holy Spirit. He said many people diligently sought to be filled with the Holy Spirit. One man had prayed for six months and was finally baptized by the Holy Spirit. Then I heard a voice asking me to invite the Holy Spirit into my heart. When the meeting was over, everyone bowed their heads and prayed together. I said in my heart,” I want the Holy Spirit.” Immediately I was filled with the Holy Spirit, my heart was filled with praise for God, and my tongue could not control itself to make a sound. People heard me, and they asked me what was going on. I told them what was happening in my heart, and they were thrilled. They laid their hands on me and prayed for me, praising God.
With joy in my heart, I returned to the dormitory and found the little Bible Jiang Tao had given me under the pillow. I had never read it before. I didn't want to, and I couldn't because I used my eyes too much in the postgraduate examination. But when I opened the Bible, I found that God had healed my eyes, my heart longed to read God's word, and I understood the Bible. From that day on, I spent half a year reading through the Bible. The following week I invited my husband to the fellowship. My husband was moved by the sermon and decided to become a believer. My husband and I were baptized by an American pastor and a Chinese leader in MiYun Reservoir, HuaiRou, one week before Easter in 1993.
Next year, 2023, we will believe and trust in the Lord for 30 years. God has done so many miracles and wonderful things in our lives. We are very grateful to know Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit.
