Phone call from God 和上帝讲电话：伟伦的故事
by Tan Wei Lun
I didn’t expect God to speak to me through a handphone.
I share this story first to glorify God, for He has showed me an amazing miracle. Also, I pray that you may enjoy the sweetness that comes from having faith in God.
My father had taken his handphone to try to get it revived. The repair technicians told him that his phone was beyond repair – it was dead. It was difficult news to take. Our sweet family memories saved in pictures and videos would be lost. When my father told me about it, I asked him to pray to our Lord, because we had not prayed about it before that.
To our surprise, when he next tried to revive the phone just a few minutes later, its screen immediately lit up. How was this possible? The technicians had failed to even switch the phone on.
But it still couldn’t function properly. Although my father was about to give up since he had already exhausted all technical means to fix the phone, I told myself to have faith that God will fix it. I didn’t tell anyone else about this, because I must confess that I still had some doubt that God would fix the phone – it was such a trivial matter, after all.
I prayed and waited. I played worship songs on the piano, which is my hobby. My father joined me in singing.
As we praised the Lord, the phone’s memory began to be restored. How was this possible?
After each hymn we sang, my father checked the progress of data recovery. Each time without fail, it increased. This was amazing. We continued praising God.
From being impossible to fix, the phone’s original function was restored 100 percent, no less. All glory to God!
This surprise “phone call” from God on 2 March 2025 reminds me to trust Him as I go through a difficult and uncertain time now.
God has comforted me many times through music. As I wrote this testimony, God placed the melody of a beautiful hymn in my head.
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take him at His word,
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know ‘Thus saith the Lord.’
It was indeed God who spoke to me through these lyrics; I could not have remembered it because I had never sung it before. I knew only the first line and had to Google the rest of the lyrics.
It felt liberating when I stopped doubting. It was sweet.
Take Jesus at His Word, the hymn says.
Our Lord tells us Himself in Mark 11:22-24,
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
We can take Him at His Word.
When I look back at God’s many miracles in my life, I know without a doubt that I can trust Him.
My life itself is a miracle.
Three of Singapore’s top gynaecologists told my mother it was impossible for her to have a child. For seven difficult years, my parents prayed for a child and continued to worship God. When my mother conceived me naturally, by God’s abundant grace, the doctors were astounded.
When our family faces challenges, we pray and praise God at home. Even when we don’t fully understand our situation, we trust that God will be faithful no matter what – after all, He is the same God who gave me life.
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take him at His word,
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know ‘Thus saith the Lord.’
To God be the highest praise and glory!
和上帝讲电话，会是怎样的经历？
求上帝修复一台电话，祂又会不会在乎？
意想不到，上帝居然使用一台手机跟我说话。
常听人说：“人的尽头是神的起头。”2025年3月2日，我爸爸到了如此一个尽头。手机已经坏了两星期，想方设法也无济于事，就连修理专家都放弃了。爸爸苦恼，因为手机存有的宝贵家庭照片和录影，全都看似无法挽回。
我叫爸爸祷告，因为大小事情，神都聆听。
祷告后不久，当我们再次尝试把手机打开，不料，手机“复活”了！屏幕奇妙地亮了起来！这怎么可能？我们惊讶又兴奋。“在人这是不能的，在神凡事都能。”这是主耶稣自己说的话（马太福音19:26）。
然而，手机不能正常运作。我告诉自己：祷告了，手机必被修复，只管信神。坦言，我内心里还是有些不信。但我执意不多忧虑，只信靠神的信实。
等着，我在钢琴上弹起几首敬拜曲子，爸爸也有感动跟着唱。这是我们家应对挫折的方法：敬拜主。不管情境好坏，仍敬拜主。在主里有喜乐，在主里有盼望。
父子俩唱着弹着，不知不觉，上帝已经为我们办了另外一个惊喜。手机里珍贵的照片、资料，都开始慢慢恢复过来。不可能的事变为可能了！
唱完每一首敬拜歌，爸爸回头看，手机恢复的功能又增长一级。最后，经过一番等待，上帝完整100%“医治”了这台手机。它“死而复生”，而且焕然一新。荣耀归于主耶稣！
上帝无所不知，无所不能。想当年，妈妈被诊断不育。曾有3位资深的妇产科专科医生一致断定，她没有生孩子的希望。足足7年之久，爸爸妈妈在忧伤里不断祷告，继续敬拜、寻求神。今年，我已经21岁了。
妈妈能生下我，是奇迹。爸爸的手机“死而复生”，又是奇迹。圣经里记载了无数奇迹，我每日生活也充满奇迹。关键是：我们信神吗？
神是可信的。这我敢保证。
写这篇分享的过程中，主把一首敬拜歌名和旋律放入我脑海。我确定是主这么做，因为我之前没有唱过这首曲，也根本没理由自己忆起它。
这是我从英语翻译过来的歌词：
信靠耶稣真是甜美， ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
信主的话，不多想， Just to take Him at His word
安息在主应许之中， Just to rest upon His promise
常记得“主如此说。” Just to know ‘Thus saith the Lord.’
信主的话，不用多想，不用愁烦。
神 可 信。
爸爸手机“死而复生”的那天，我经历了一种自由，就是完全信靠主的自由。正如歌词所说，这味道是甜的。
一切荣耀归于主耶稣！
“我要时时称颂耶和华； 赞美他的话必常在我口中。 你们要尝尝主恩的滋味 ，便知道他是美善； 投靠他的人有福了！ ” （诗篇 34:1,8）
