”Jua fadhila ya ulimi wa uponyaji na jinsi ya kuutumia.” – James Nayler (1618-1660)<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

”<\/span> Upako wake ni wa kweli. Usiutumie vibaya.” Niliamka huku viganja vyangu vikiunguruma, nikasikia sauti akilini mwangu ikisema maneno haya. Nilikuwa nimesikia sauti hiyo hapo awali, na ilikuwa na pete ya uungu halisi kwake, ingawa sikuweza kueleza kwa nini nilifikiri hivyo. Lakini kwa hakika wengi wa wasomaji wangu wa Quaker wamesoma \u201cBwana aliniambia\u201d katika<\/span>
\n Jarida<\/span>
\n<\/i> la George Fox, na labda pia mlipuko maarufu wa Isaac Penington, ”Huyu ndiye, huyu ndiye; hakuna mwingine, hakujawahi kuwa na mwingine!” Vema, Rafiki, mambo haya bado yanatokea, na nadhani hilo ndilo linaloweka imani ya Quaker katika kuendelea na ufunuo wa haraka kuwa hai. Mungu anaweza kujidhihirisha Mungu kama Yeye, Yeye, ama Hilo, lakini Mungu huzungumza nasi. (Nitakuwa nikitumia kiwakilishi \u201cYeye\u201d katika akaunti hii kwa sababu tu hiyo ndiyo hali halisi ya uzoefu wangu wa kibinafsi wa Nafsi ya Kiungu.) <\/span><\/p>\n

Sauti hiyo ilikuwa imezungumza nami kwa mara ya kwanza miaka iliyotangulia, muda si mrefu baada ya kujitolea rasmi kwa Mungu, kwa kuchochewa na usomaji wangu wa kitabu cha Quaker Hannah Whitall Smith cha karne ya kumi na tisa,<\/span>
\n The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life<\/span>
\n<\/i> :<\/span><\/p>\n

Je, wewe, basi, sasa kwa wakati huu, unajisalimisha mwenyewe kabisa Kwake? Kisha, rafiki yangu mpendwa, anza mara moja kujihesabu kuwa wewe ni wake, kwamba amekuchukua, na kwamba anafanya kazi ndani yako, kutaka na kutenda kwa mapenzi yake mema. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Muda mfupi baada ya kujisalimisha huko, nilisikia sauti hiyo ikisema, \u201cNatega sikio.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jina la Kipawa<\/b><\/h3>\n

Nilikuwa nimerejea hivi majuzi kutoka kwa mkutano wa wikendi ya Marafiki wanaomzingatia Kristo katika Powell House ya Mkutano wa Kila Mwaka wa New York, ambapo mtu aliye na vipawa vya kutaja zawadi za Friends alinitambulisha kuwa nimebeba zawadi ya uponyaji. (Mimi? Kweli? Kweli, wafanyakazi wenzangu katika kiwanda cha masanduku walikuwa wameniambia kwamba mikono yangu iliwaondolea maumivu ya kichwa … lakini zawadi ya kimungu?) Mwishoni mwa mkusanyiko, aliweka mikono yake juu ya yangu, na kubariki na \u201ckuifunga\u201d zawadi hiyo. Na sasa, asubuhi chache baadaye, nilikuwa nikisikia uthibitisho kutoka juu-na onyo lililoambatanishwa: hapana <\/span>
\n matumizi mabaya<\/span>
\n<\/i> ya zawadi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kusikia ”upako huu ni wa kweli” iliacha akili yangu kimya kwa muda. Kisha, kwa kutabirika, akili na hisia zangu zilienda porini: Hii inamaanisha nini? Nini kinafuata? <\/span><\/p>\n

Nilihisi hofu, bila shaka, kwamba \u201cningetumia vibaya\u201d zawadi hiyo kwa njia fulani ambayo ingenifanya nikose kibali cha Mungu kwamba ningemchukia milele: Hakika singeomba pesa! \u201cMmepokea bure,\u201d Yesu alisema (Mt. 10:8); ”Toa bure.” Je, ningeanguka katika majaribu ya ngono? Nilitarajia sivyo! Lakini je, kishawishi chenye hila kinaweza kunizuia, kama vile kutaka kuwafurahisha na kuwavutia watu? Au naweza kutumia vibaya zawadi hiyo kwa kuificha kwa kujilinda chini ya pishi? <\/span><\/p>\n

Wakati huo huo, nilihisi msisimko kufikiria kwamba ninaweza kuwa na kazi ya mtenda miujiza iliyofunguliwa mbele yangu. <\/span>Bzz!<\/span><\/i> Kuanzia sasa mikono yangu inaweza buzz kuniambia kwamba walikuwa ”wameshtakiwa” na tayari kufanya maajabu. <\/span>Bzz!<\/span><\/i> Wangeniambia mahali ambapo kansa au jiwe la figo lilikuwa, ningeziweka mahali ambapo mlio ulikuwa mkubwa zaidi, na presto! sauti ilipokoma, ningejua nimemaliza na mgonjwa akapona. Ilikuwa ni fantasia ya mvulana mdogo kuwa na nguvu za kichawi, bila shaka, hakuna utata, kushindwa, hakuna huzuni juu ya wagonjwa iliyoachwa bila kuponywa. Shida ilikuwa, mikono yangu haikupiga tena. Wakati fulani mimi huwaambia watu kwamba ni \u201czawadi kipofu\u201d: sijapewa kujua ni lini au jinsi inavyofanya kazi; Naomba tu uponyaji utokee. Na watu wa kutosha huripoti uboreshaji, au joto kutoka kwa mikono yangu, kwamba mimi huendelea kutoa maombi ya mikono. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kwa neema ya Mungu, nilikuwa na mshirika wangu wa maisha, Elizabeth, kushiriki naye uzoefu wangu, na alichukua habari za mitende inayovuma na eneo la ndani kwa uangalifu. Alikwenda kwenye mkutano huo wa wikendi nami, na alikuwa na karama zake mwenyewe za hekima; utambuzi; na kuponya kutajwa, kubarikiwa, na kutiwa muhuri pale. Alikuwa amesikia sauti ya Mungu wakati mwingine, pia. <\/span><\/p>\n

T Matarajio yake ya kuwaalika viongozi wa roho yalinikumbusha kwamba zawadi yangu ilikuwa imetoka kwa Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye kwa hakika angekuwa mwongozo wa kutosha.<\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Kukua katika Kipawa<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kwa kutiwa moyo na waganga wengine wa Quaker, Elizabeth na mimi tulianza kujifunza mbinu za uponyaji wa mikono: tulienda kwenye warsha za mafunzo ya wikendi; tunasoma maandishi ya waganga wa Kikristo; waganga wa shamanic; na waganga wa Reiki, dawa za jadi za Kichina, Ayurveda, na tiba ya magonjwa ya nyumbani. Nilitamani kuweza kukagua miili ya watu etheric na astral, yao <\/span>
\n chakras<\/span>
\n<\/i> na<\/span>
\n marmas<\/span>
\n<\/i>, kwa jicho la mtaalamu wa uchunguzi. Ilimradi haikuhusisha kupotea kutoka kwa Kristo, nilitamani kujua jinsi ya kuhamasisha wema wa uponyaji katika roho za mimea, madini, rangi, na sauti, na jinsi ya kutambua mahali ”patakatifu”. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lakini hakuna kati ya hizo zilizounganishwa kwetu. Kisha nikaja kutambua kwamba ujuzi wowote wa uponyaji ungepatikana katika taaluma hizi, Mwalimu Mwenye Kujua Yote alijua yote tayari, na Angeweza kuongoza mikono yangu na kuhamasisha nguvu za uponyaji jinsi Alivyojua vyema. Sehemu yangu ni kumwombea mgonjwa bila hatia, nikipenda tu kuwa chombo cha Kristo ninapoweka mikono. Wakati mwingine mimi hufikiria mikono Yake ikiwa juu yangu, majeraha meusi ya misumari katikati. <\/span><\/p>\n

Elizabeth na mimi tuliacha programu moja ya mafunzo tulipoambiwa kwamba katika \u201cKiwango cha 3\u201d tutahimizwa kuungana na \u201cwaelekezi wa roho.\u201d Wote wawili tulinusa majaribu. Lakini matarajio ya kuwaalika viongozi wa roho yalinikumbusha kwamba karama yangu ilikuwa imetoka kwa Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye kwa hakika angekuwa mwongozo wa kiroho vya kutosha. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nimejifunza kusikiliza hisia zangu mwenyewe, pamoja na hisia za mwili, kama viashiria vinavyowezekana vya hali ya mgonjwa.<\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Dawa ya jadi ya Kichina inaona nyakati za siku zinafaa kiafya, na unajimu wa kimatibabu hutaja nyakati bora na mbaya zaidi za uponyaji, lakini hakuna aliyejua wakati unaofaa zaidi kwa ziara yangu kwa Carla kuliko Roho Mtakatifu alivyojua. Carla alikuwa rafiki wa zamani ambaye aliendelea na shule ya matibabu na kuwa MD. Tezi yake ya pituitari ilikuwa ikifanya kazi kupita kiasi, na kusababisha ugonjwa wa Cushing, na nilisikia kwamba alikuwa ameingia hospitalini kwa ajili ya upasuaji wa kurekebisha. Ningekuwa na kazi nyingine ya kufanya mjini, na hospitali yake ilikuwa njiani kuelekea huko, kwa hiyo, nikawazia, kwa nini nisimtembelee Carla? Ilitokea kwamba nilifika kando ya kitanda chake saa chache baada ya upasuaji, alipokuwa akiingia katika ugonjwa hatari wa Addison’s kutokana na kutofanya kazi vizuri kwa tezi. Je, maombi yangu yalisaidia? Mungu pekee ndiye anayejua: lakini Carla aliniambia baadaye kwamba wakati wangu ulikuwa mzuri. Ningependa kuiita Providential. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nilijifunza somo muhimu kuhusu uponyaji jioni moja wakati, katika mazungumzo ya kawaida ya mbalamwezi na jirani kwenye milango yetu iliyo karibu, aliniambia shida yake ya tezi, nami nikajitolea kumwekea mikono shingoni. Whoosh! Punde tu nilipoigusa ngozi yake nilihisi msisimko wa ngono wenye nguvu usiotarajiwa. ”Sijawahi kuwa mwaminifu kwa mume wangu,” alisema kwa woga: alihisi pia. <\/span>Hakuna tena kugusa wanawake bila mtu wa tatu sasa!<\/span><\/i> Nimefanya ubaguzi kwa sheria hii tangu wakati huo, lakini mara chache tu, na kwa ufahamu wa hatari inayohusika.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nikiwa njiani, nimejifunza mambo mengine kuhusu kuathiriwa na kuwasiliana na wagonjwa. Hakuna ugonjwa wa mtu mwingine ambao umewahi kunifanya nijisikie mgonjwa kimwili, lakini wakati fulani nilitumbukia katika hali isiyoelezeka ya kukata tamaa kwa kuwapo kwa karibu kwa mwanamke, ambaye kisha akafichua kwamba mume wake alikuwa akifa kwa kansa. Kwa hiyo nimejifunza kusikiliza hisia zangu mwenyewe, pamoja na hisia za mwili, kama viashiria vinavyowezekana vya hali ya mgonjwa. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kukua katika Nidhamu<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lakini kizuizi gumu zaidi ambacho zawadi yangu iliniwekea ni ile ambayo ilinijia polepole. Ilihusu nidhamu ya usemi na mawazo yangu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kwanza, nilikutana na waganga wengine wawili wa Kikristo, Wallace na Vanessa, ambao, kama wengi sana (pamoja na mimi mwenyewe), walikuwa wamefahamishwa kwa uingiliaji wa kimuujiza wa mikono kwamba karama za uponyaji zilizothibitishwa katika kanisa la kwanza ( 1 Kor. 12:9, 28 ) hazikuwa zimetolewa kamwe kutoka humo. Hili lilikuwa limewafanya wawe na hamu ya kutafuta makanisa mengine huko Manhattan yaliyokuwa na huduma za uponyaji, na mtu fulani katika ofisi ya mikutano ya kila robo mwaka ya Friends alikuwa amewapa majina ya Elizabeth na mimi. Wengine, kama wanasema, ni historia. Kupitia huduma yao, nilipokea matayarisho ya mazoezi ya kuwa mshiriki wa Shirika la Kimataifa la Mtakatifu Luka Mganga (OSL), kikundi cha \u201cmakasisi, wataalamu wa afya, na walei ambao wanahisi wameitwa kufanya huduma ya Yesu ya kuponya kuwa sehemu ya kawaida ya wito wetu.\u201d Niliingizwa kwenye OSL mnamo Oktoba 12, 2013. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sehemu ya mafunzo hayo ilikuwa ni uchunguzi wa utaratibu wa uponyaji wa Yesu uliorekodiwa katika Agano Jipya. Katika hadithi hizo za uponyaji, niliona mfano: Yesu, alipokuwa karibu kufanya uponyaji, hakuwahi kumpa mgonjwa wake hali ya kuudhi (ukoma, upofu, ulemavu); badala yake, maneno yake yalitarajia uponyaji Aliokusudia kuleta: \u201cOndoka, jitwike godoro lako, uende!\u201d; \u201cYule msichana hakufa, bali amelala usingizi.\u201d Kwa mshangao wangu, nilifikiri nimepata kielelezo kinyume katika kauli Yake \u201cLazaro amekufa\u201d ( Yohana 11:14 ), lakini nilipokagua Kigiriki cha awali, niligundua kwamba Yesu alikuwa amesema \u201cLazaro alikufa\u201d: tangazo la tukio la wakati uliopita lakini si la hali ya sasa. Hitimisho langu lilikuwa kutohatarisha kuimarisha hali hiyo isiyofaa kwa kuzungumza au kuandika kana kwamba ni ukweli wa hali hiyo. Badala yake mimi husaidia kutambua hali inayotakikana kwa kuitaja na kuisherehekea kana kwamba maneno yako yana uwezo wa kibunifu kusaidia kutimia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wito wa Usemi wa Kweli na Usio na Madhara<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ilikua kwangu kwamba hii ilikuwa sehemu ya wito wa jumla zaidi kwa kile ninachoita ”hotuba ya kweli na isiyo na madhara.” Mtume Yakobo, akiwapa changamoto waamini wote kuufuga ulimi, anatuonya tusiruhusu baraka na laana zitoke katika kinywa kimoja (Yak. 3:10); Paulo pia anashauri, \u201cBariki, wala usilaani\u201d (Rum. 12:14). Hili hutokea kuwa fundisho la hekima ya kiroho ulimwenguni pote: usemi sahihi ni sehemu mojawapo ya Njia Nzuri ya Njia Nane za Ubuddha wa Theravada, na Bhagavad Gita ya Wahindu (17:15) inaeleza \u201cukali wa usemi\u201d unaoweka mipaka ya usemi kwa wasioudhi, ukweli, wanaotamanika, na mazoezi ya kusoma Maandiko. Inaweza kuonekana, kwa kweli, kwamba ukweli wakati fulani unachukiza na haufai, na lazima nimshtaki mtu kwa kusema uwongo. Lakini badala ya kumwita mwongo (jambo ambalo lingekuwa ”la kuchukiza,” na pia ”hafai” kwa maana ya kulenga kumrekebisha katika utambulisho huo kwa kudumu), naweza tu kuziita kauli zake kuwa si za kweli, na kutumia chaguo langu la kutumaini na kuomba toba yake ya kukimbilia uwongo mara kwa mara, kwani niliongozwa kutubu kwa nafsi yangu. Kuna tofauti. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hisia zozote moyoni mwangu kuhusu ubinafsi wa mtu huyo zinaweza kudhoofisha uhusiano huo: utofauti wa jinsia, kabila au rangi nyingine, siasa au dini nyingine, hasa \u201cnyingine\u201d yoyote ambayo, kwa asili yake, inashiriki katika shindano la kutawala au kuendelea kuishi na aina ya \u201cyangu\u201d.<\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Riziki Sahihi, Kutopendelea, na Usafi wa Mawazo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hakuna hata moja kati ya ufugaji huu wa ulimi, nilitambua, ingewezekana bila mimi kujiepusha na kazi ambapo wakubwa wangu wangenihitaji kama sehemu ya kazi yangu kusema uwongo au kufanya uovu uonekane kuwa mzuri (Isa. 5:20). Pengine Budha angesema kwamba usemi sahihi unahitaji akili sahihi na riziki iliyo sawa, vipengele vingine viwili vya Njia ya Nane. Kwa neema ya Mungu, sasa nimestaafu kutoka kwa ulimwengu wa tasnia, biashara, na ushawishi wa watu wengi, ambapo wakati mwingine nilishiriki katika kupindisha ukweli wa shirika (Mungu anisamehe). Waponyaji, kama watayarishaji wengine wa sala, lazima wamaanisha kile wanachosema. <\/span><\/p>\n

Utambuzi mwingine ulikuja nilipotambua kwamba ni lazima nisishiriki katika mashindano ya mapenzi na mtu ninayetaka kumponya (2 Tim. 2:24). Hii ilimaanisha, kwangu, kuacha kupiga kura katika chaguzi za kitaifa, ingawa pia nilikuwa na sababu nyingine za kufanya hivyo, hasa kwamba sikuweza, kwa dhamiri njema, kueleza upendeleo kwa Kaisari mmoja mwenye silaha badala ya Kaisari mwingine mwenye silaha. Hilo lingekuwa ni kudhihirisha tamaa ya uovu mdogo juu ya uovu mkubwa zaidi, baada ya Kristo kunikataza kuchagua uovu hata kidogo. Paulo alionya, zamani sana, dhidi ya aina ya ujanja unaohalalisha njia mbaya kwa kile kinachodaiwa kuwa ni \u201cnzuri\u201d wanachotumikia (Rum. 3:8). <\/span><\/p>\n

Lakini nitapanua zaidi juu ya uhusiano ninaouhisi kati ya mwito wa mganga na kutokuwa na upendeleo wa kisiasa: ninapofanya kazi ya uponyaji, \u201cmimi\u201d hurudi nyuma na kumwomba Kristo-ndani-mimi afanye kazi, jambo ambalo naamini Anafanya kwa kushirikiana na Kristo-katika-mtu-mwingine, Kristo akiwa hajagawanyika kwa njia yoyote (1Kor. 1:13). Hisia zozote moyoni mwangu kuhusu ubinafsi wa mtu huyo zinaweza kudhoofisha uhusiano huo: utofauti wa jinsia, kabila au rangi nyingine, siasa au dini nyingine, hasa \u201cnyingine\u201d yoyote ambayo, kwa asili yake, inashiriki katika shindano la kutawala au kuendelea kuishi na aina ya \u201cyangu\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inapaswa kuchukua tafakuri ya muda mfupi tu kutambua kwamba mtu hawezi kutumaini kuudhibiti ulimi ikiwa hafanyi kizuizi chochote moyoni: \u201ckwa kuwa kinywa cha mtu huyanena yaujazayo moyo wake\u201d (Mt. 12:34). Ili kudumisha usemi usio na madhara, ni lazima nielekeze moyo si tu kutoka kwa tamaa zenye jeuri bali pia kutoka kwa wenye tamaa mbaya, wenye pupa, na wenye kujitolea wa kila aina ambao hupita zaidi ya matakwa rahisi ya kujitunza. Bado watakuwa pale moyoni, bila shaka; maana si kuwatia moyo. Ninaita nidhamu hii ”usafi wa fikra.” Ikitokea nianze kumpenda mtu ambaye si mke wangu, ninaweza kujizuia kwa kukumbuka jambo ambalo nilisikia sauti ya kimungu ikisema asubuhi moja nilipomwona msichana mrembo mwenye kuhuzunisha kutoka kwenye dirisha la basi nikienda kazini: \u201cKwa hiyo unampenda, sivyo? Je, umesali kwa ajili yake?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
