what happens on the last day of 2015

"how do you feel as the only christian in the religious buddhist family?"

"prosecuted. my whole family object me becoming a christian, even this morning my mom hindered me to go church."

"i am curious... what made you became a christian? i mean, were you in christian community when you were in singapore?"

he smiled, and looked at me straight in the eyes.

suddenly, his tone changed.

"to tell you the truth, i learned black magic before i converted for 18 years. i can see ghosts, i know what people think, i can make people do things as i want to, i can walk on water and not drowned, i can walk on burning coals without getting burnt, i can do those things before i repent. it looks cool, but everything i can do must be paid with a price: hell."

he took a sip of his ramen broth, and continued.

"i find no peace. i need to fight everyday with stronger other shaman just for the sake to stay alive. i am exposed to danger everywhere i go. there was a time when a car in stationary position, with hand brake on, can moved and hit me. i was in pain. getting bone fractures, sick, and other miscellaneous accidents are just like a daily bread to me."

"then, how did you repent?"

"it's a long story, but i saw angels. i won't force you to believe me, but it's what happened."

"how long you've been a christian?"

"9 years up to now."

"well, thinking that you can control people using your magic and having an easy life, which one you will choose: life as a christian, or a shaman?"

"of course a christian life! what are you talking about, young lady? witchcraft and black magic comes with an expensive price: eternal soul in hell! learning those things might gives you easy life, but let me just give you some examples:

i know a man who can teleport in a blink of an eye from point A to point B. to do that, he needs to meditate below a big tree, and eat grass for 3 months. then, he needs to meditate on that tree, and eat grass for another 3 months. if he succeed, he can teleport, respected by other shaman, and then die and go to hell. if he failed, he will lose his sanity, and go to hell.

another example, if you go to a shaman and ask for gold and richess. yes, you will be rich, but you children, grand children, and your 7 generations of your bloodline will be living a poor life. once you die, you will go to hell straight.

those people who use magic and witchcraft for their own good, are cursed. the curse will last for generation. diabetic, cancer, heart issues, uric acid, those are typical curse along the blood line. in case where people die before 80 years old, or divorced, or worship idols, those are few other symptoms that curse exists in the family."

i was stunned.

"be careful, and keep on guard. the time is near, it's very very near. now rapture can happens anytime, anywhere. keep your faith on fire, so you will be ready when the time comes."

and we would be a better person too!
