The Purpose of this home page is to give my testimony as a Christian on how God has helped me to overcome my mental problem called schizophrenia since 1978. It may help others who are having the same problem.
My problem started in 1978 when I suffered a mental breakdown due to depression and elation.I was depressed because I could not pass my accountancy exams after three years of study and later on I attended a motivational seminar which made me so excited and elated.I thought of nothing but making money. As a result I spent one week in the psychiatric ward.
In 1981 I acepted Jesus as my personal saviour. I believed He is the Son of God who died for our sins. I did so because after attending churches for six months I had heard and seen miracles of healing from the Christian friends I made.The following years I attended churches regularly and thus improved my knowledge in the Word of God, the Holy Bible. The Christian literatures I read also inspired my faith greatly.
The power of God hit me to the ground during a miracle crusade in Ipoh. I was on the ground for almost one hour. It happened when Rev.Ezekiel Choong took my left hand and prayed for me.A few days before the crusade I was oppressed by evil spirits and they eventually left me after the incident. I never felt depressed or fearful again since that day in 1984. That was the turning point for my healing.
My personal experience with mental problem shows that a person with mental problem can overcome his or her problem by reading the Holy Bible and get help from God-- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He or she must attend church regularly to study and understand the Holy Bible so that they can grow spiritually and their faith in God will increased.
Medication,according to my past experience, produced no
long-lasting effect, although they can help a person from recovering to a
normal state of mind everytime he or she suffers a relapse. And relapses are
common for many people.
But medication can be reduced to minimum when a
person has successfully learned to cope with the stresses he or she may
face in their daily life.And this can be done by reading the Holy Bible and meditate on the Word of God.
Introducing the promises of Jesus In the Bible which is good for our peace of mind:
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest."

" Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the
world gives do I give to you." John 14:27
" And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free."
