The origin of Jaeson Ma.

Jaeson Ma's parents immigrated to the United States from Hongkong in their early years, and they had a hard time in the United States, and their marriage relationship also had problems, so they chose to break up. Shortly after breaking up, mother Ma found herself pregnant again. She called Ma's father and all she got was an accident.

At that time, she was a single mother and had to take care of two daughters after divorce. She can't speak English and has no job. In desperation, she went to the hospital and planned to have an abortion. Just five minutes before the operation, she was still struggling to have an abortion. At this moment, a Christian medical staff came along. He and Mama Ma are in the same church. He was surprised when he saw Ma's mother in the hospital, but he said a blessing: "Congratulations, it's a boy and a gift from God. God bless you! " At that moment, Mama Ma decided that it must be from God, and I couldn't abort the child. At this critical moment, Jaeson Ma's life was protected by God, but the days after that were still full of difficulties.

The financial burden of the whole family fell on Mama Ma, who worked as a nanny to earn money to support her family from the fifth grade of Jaeson Primary School until she was 24 years old. Jaeson recalled that when he was a child, cribs were everywhere in the house, even in his room. Jaeson had to go to his friend's house to do his homework. Because of his children, Jaeson listened to almost all the children's songs of that era and watched The Little Mermaid hundreds of times, and was able to recite the lines one by one.

Jaeson said, "That was the hardest time when I was growing up. My mother suffered a lot. She often cries, carrying a heavy burden alone, making money to support her family and paying her debts. "

However, God takes care of them when they are in trouble. One Thanksgiving, the family didn't even have food. When they opened the door, they found that someone had left four bags of daily necessities. God uses similar miracles to meet their needs.

Gang life

When he grew up, Jaeson Ma couldn't stand this kind of life, so he turned to the streets for peer support and began to get in touch with gangs and drugs. At that time, like a standard punk, he joined gangs, fought, stole, took drugs and even sold drugs, and was killed many times because of gang fights. The gangster street life under the shadow of the bloody case didn't make him turn back. The turbulent frivolous years have brought countless sighs of sadness and disappointment to his family.

At that time, he even grew marijuana in his backyard without telling his mother. One day, my mother came to the backyard and smelled marijuana and its strong smell. She asked, "Jaeson, what is this?" He said casually, "This is my scientific experiment." Mother Ma believed it and just asked Jaeson to move it to the corner of the backyard because it was too strong.

Jaeson was caught by the police many times and sent home. As a Christian, Mother Ma prayed for him with tears every day. He quarrels with his mother almost every day, and her mother cries every day. When Jaeson went out, she knew there was absolutely nothing good. Jaeson said with emotion, "This is probably my biggest regret, which makes my mother's already hard life even more painful."

Jaeson and his gang lived in danger, and they were scared every day and almost died twice. Once a bullet flew past his ear, and once they fought with a Cambodian gangster, and the knife was around Jaeson's neck. He recalled, "At that moment, my life flashed before my eyes. I thought I was going to die." But at such a critical moment, rebellious and stubborn, he prayed to God for help. When the knife in the neck almost swung down, the alarm sounded and the police came. Everyone immediately dispersed in a hubbub, and Jeason escaped.

But the most incredible thing is that although Jaeson Ma has done so many illegal and dangerous things, he can almost get away with it and even take drugs. Others will be addicted to drugs, but he won't. It seems that heaven has been guarding him, waiting for the prodigal son to return.

return of the prodigal son

Although Jaeson didn't lack anything materially at that time, he was addicted to stealing and stole anything he could. He said, "Stealing is like drugs, which makes people feel addicted." This is especially true for Jaeson who is full of enthusiasm, motivation and energy. Stealing is not because of lack, but an adventure, which makes his life more exciting.

Jaeson was arrested twice for stealing, but for some reason, the police finally let him go instead of putting him in prison. When the police sent him home, Mother Ma said, "Jaeson, don't steal. God gave you two chances to bring your life back to God. " Jaeson ignored all this and went his own way. However, when he was caught for the third time, Jaeson accepted God.

When Jason worked as a part-time clerk in Armani, he stole the brand-name clothes in the store and resold them, making a lot of money. He thought it would be unknown, but it was discovered in the end. The police called and asked Jaeson to turn himself in as soon as possible.

At that moment, Jaeson looked at himself, "What have I been doing all my life? I'm almost an adult. I was chased by the police, my mother cried for me, and I was unhappy with drug trafficking. I have friends and money, and I have whatever I want. Why do I feel that I have nothing? " Determined to put his life in the right direction, he opened the wardrobe, put the stolen clothes in two big bags, and asked his friends to drive him to the police station to surrender.

He also called his mother, and her mother said, Jaeson, if Jesus were in your position, he might turn himself in, confess his sins because of his mistakes, and let his life start over and make peace with God again. Jaeson said, "Mom, I know what I did wrong. I have sinned against God, I have hurt you, and I have hurt myself and others. I need to reconcile my life with God. I want to turn myself in and do the right thing, even if I have to go to jail. "

The change of mind completely overturned Jason's life. Half a year, everything has changed. Jaeson quit drugs, left the gang, stopped going to parties and became good friends with his mother. He stops quarreling every day and helps her wash the dishes. He went to church and began to pursue love and hope from God. In the past six months, he led hundreds of gangs, drugs and street friends into the church and found Jesus.

Realize the true meaning of the gospel

Six months later, Jaeson received a letter from the court. At that time, Jaeson was ready to go to prison and planned to preach the gospel in prison. He said to God, "God, I deserve this. I did something wrong, and I need to face the consequences of this behavior. God, I'm free now, whether I'm in prison or not, I'm free. If I go to prison, I must have your purpose. I want to preach the gospel in prison and tell the people inside about Jesus. "

He tied his tie, walked into the court, faced the judge and admitted all the crimes. But the judge said, "Jason, this is a very interesting case." We know that you have confessed all the crimes, but we need to do more in-depth investigation, so come back next month. " The next month, the judge replied, "Jason, this is a very special case." We will add two lawyers for further investigation and come back next month. " It was not until the spring of 1998 that Jaeson walked into the court for the third time, and the judge actually told him, "We have decided. You are not guilty! "

Jason couldn't believe his ears. He knew he had been arrested, had a criminal record and was a street thug. He stole a lot of money from the store, and that branch closed down. He quickly asked, "What do you mean by' innocent'?" The judge said, "Can you go now?" "Don't I have to go to jail?" "No need." "Do I need compensation?" "No compensation." "Do I need to do some social services?" "No need." "Do I need to report to the parole officer?" "If you walk out of this courtroom, you won't see the parole officer." "Can I act as if nothing has happened?" "Yes, you can go."

At that moment, Jaeson suddenly understood the true meaning of the gospel. Gospel is good news. People often talk about Jesus. Jesus died for your sins. He came back from the dead. He loves you. He has a plan for your life. Jason grew up listening to this. But that's just knowing, just staying in his mind, just words. But at that moment, it was a perfect and elegant picture. He said emotionally: "We said that justice is what you deserve, compassion is what you don't deserve, and grace is what you can't count on. Because I should never be acquitted like this. I know I am a sinner, I must go to hell, I must be separated from God, but because of Jesus' death, my sins can be forgiven, I can get eternal life and live in heaven with my heavenly father. So when I walked out of the court, I was like the happiest child in the world! "

My sister predicted the future.

Jae son 15 was a street thug. One night, he just finished taking drugs and was lying on the sofa. The medicine began to work, and he was very excited. Sister ran in from the back room to wake Jason. It turned out that my sister had just returned from a prayer meeting. She said, "Jaeson, you will never believe what happened tonight. At a prayer meeting, God took me to heaven and showed me a book about your life, a big book. Then take me home. I must tell you what I saw. "

Jason asked, "What do you see? Do I have money? Am I famous? Did I win an Oscar? " My sister said,no. "You will be a young priest, and you will lead thousands of children in the world to touch God." Jason laughed at her in turn. "I can't be a young priest. I don't want to be a young priest. How come? I don't even believe in God. Why should I be a young priest? " My sister is very serious. "Jeason, I'm not kidding. Really, I see these thousands of young people who are touched by God everywhere. " Mother Ma was washing dishes in the kitchen and heard everything. She clapped her hands happily and said, "Oh, great! Jaeson wants to be a young priest! "

He asked his sister, "Did you see anything else?" She said, "Yes, and strangely enough, he will also become a rapper." Your music can touch people all over the world "Jason thought," that's cool. It will make me look great! "

Two years later, Jaeson met God, and he led the Bible study group for the first time. There are more than 100 people in the group, all of whom are young people. They have never been to church. Many people take drugs, have been hooligans, have been involved in gangs, and love to go to parties. They all join the Bible study group. There are more and more people, and the group has begun to set up different groups, which have been growing. That year, Jason became a young priest. In his senior year, he recorded his first rap music tape. Sister's prophecy has come true!

Set an example and advocate chastity.

Jaeson traveled all over the world to preach the gospel and advocate the concept of chastity. He set an example by himself and inspired many young people to follow suit, among which VanNess Wu was the most talked about.

When talking about why Jaeson advocated chastity and agreed to be single for seven years with God, he told his first love story. Jason met a girl in church. Jaeson loves her very much and thinks they will get married in the future. But then we broke up. After breaking up, Jaeson was sad and depressed for a year and cried every day when he remembered it. He asked God why. God said, "Will you give up the best time of your life to love and serve me?" Jaeson, do you believe that I can satisfy you and surpass anyone?

When Jaeson talked with God, he began to think about the story of Jacob and Rachel. In the Bible, Jacob waited seven years to marry Rachel, the love of his life. The number "seven years" entered Jaeson's heart. "For some reason, I think God said, will you give me seven years? At that moment, I said yes, I surrendered. "

Chastity is a very difficult process, Jaeson said frankly. "For a young man, sexual desire is innate. You will have sexual needs. From a very young age, I struggled with pornographic pictures and masturbation. Even if I say it many times, I will become very lonely and tired. When I finished my sermon, I was exhausted. When I surf the Internet, I sometimes get a lot of junk letters, some of which contain pornographic pictures or obscene content. Sometimes, I fall in. Although I am a priest, I will fall into it. "

"I am a man, although I am a priest, don't I have sexual desire? No, I love God. I love women. I want to get married, I want to have children, and I want to enjoy sex one day, provided that I am in the right environment, but I am still struggling. So in recent years, I have gained some support through some priests and other brothers and sisters who can trust each other. I can overcome the temptation and temptation of pornography, enter God, and let the existence of God satisfy me. But that is not an easy road, and there will be many struggles. "

Jaeson preached and taught young people to be chaste. He said chastity is the coolest thing, and the best way to teach young people is to set an example. "I can't tell young people what I can't do. I'm almost 30, and now I'm 29. I am still a virgin. "

He is quite proud in his speech. "I still remember one time, a sermon in Hong Kong. Nearly 200 artists participated. I say this, I am a virgin, and I am proud of it. Everyone is laughing. Oh, my God, he's a virgin. "impossible!" Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? I am very proud of this. Because for me, purity is not the temptation of sex, and abstinence is by no means what I want to control, nor is it just what I want to resist. It is a war. So when you look at purity, you don't look at it and say, ah, I lost something, but I fought for something. Strive for the best for my future wife and children. They can have my whole heart. I want the children to know that I am loyal to your mother. I love her very much and won't give myself to others, but I will give it to her. "

"A young man came up to me and said that I had fallen and had sex. I know it's too late. I told them it was never too late! As long as now, you beg God to forgive you, you promise chastity, you will be washed clean, and you will become a new virgin. We have heard many incredible stories about a woman who once fell and became a virgin again. To be exact, they were all virgins when they got married, even if they had had sex before. So I believe that God will work miracles, and like this, he can rebuild the hymen. "

VanNess Wu was also deeply influenced and promised to remain a virgin until she got married. He also designed his own "God is better than sex" T-shirt, which became a trend for a while. Because of his testimony, thousands of young people wear the same T-shirts, promising celibacy and chastity, and believing in God is more satisfying than sex.

Blend sermons into music

It is a great breakthrough for Jaeson Ma to integrate sermons into music. His ideas are bold and innovative, and they are popular all over the world. Jaeson Ma always wanted to be a rapper, and God wonderfully combined the roles of priest and singer to make Jason's dream come true.

After Jaeson became a Christian, he met the world-famous rapper MC? Hammer, Hammer became his mentor and priest. As an intern, Jaeson worked in the hammer for five years, which not only benefited from music, but also benefited from spiritual life and life. During that time, Jaeson had a fire in his heart and wanted to go to Hollywood to preach the gospel. But God told him to go to the seminary. Jaeson Ma reluctantly asked Hammer.

Hammer said, "Jeason, this is exactly what I want to tell you. Hollywood will always be here, but you must go to the seminary first to give your spiritual life a strong foundation. " If you go to Hollywood, in your current state of mind, the devil in Hollywood will eat you and then spit you out. You go to the seminary to lay a solid foundation for your spirit. When you return to Hollywood, God sends you to Hollywood, so that you can be strong enough to overcome the temptation. Actually, you have something to give them. "In the following days, he went to a seminary and spent 2-6 hours a day praying to be close to the Lord, so that he could feel real peace and joy.

However, Jaeson never gave up music. He tried to create, but the result was bad. He sometimes wrestles with God. "God, why did I give up writing music?" Until he was 26 years old, he knelt before the altar and prayed, "God, this time I will stay on the altar with Satan, and I will stay on the altar with my music and career." I won't touch it again. I surrender to you. God, if that prophecy doesn't come true, I'll never make music again. I promise you, I still love you and I will preach your gospel until the day I die! "

Two weeks later, Jason continued to dream five strange dreams in a retreat. Five nights in a row, different dreams every day, different rap stars, to sign Jaeson as a rapper. His spiritual teacher told him, "I think God wants to tell you, well, you can go back to making music. You passed the exam! "

After that, he met a famous agent, who not only helped him make an album, but also advised him to integrate his best sermon with music. In the process of recording, Jeason did not write the lyrics in advance, but went into the recording studio after praying, and blurted out a sermon because of the touch of his soul, turning it into a song.

"Many young people don't want to go to church to listen to sermons, but they like to listen to songs. I wrote a sermon about' love' as a rap and uploaded it to Youtube. In just a few months, I created hundreds of thousands of hits, touched many people's hearts and left many messages. Some people say that they can't stop crying after listening. They listen again and again, and learn what love is in the process of listening. Some people say that he is a Buddhist, but this music touched his heart and made him keep sobbing ... "

Love is the most important lesson. Finally, Jaeson thinks that what is important in life is the course of love, not what you have achieved or who you know. "For me, I hope that when I come to the end of my life, people will say that he really loved. He loves God, he loves himself, and he loves everyone. He loves his wife (I hope there is only one), he loves his children, he loves the youngest, the last and the lost. I hope at the end of my life, I will learn how to love. I still have a lot to learn about love, a lot I don't know, and a lot of mistakes I'm still making. I hope that every mistake can teach me a lesson and get closer to God who loves unconditionally and infinitely. " "。 At the age of 29, he will release his first single "Love" in September this year. He hopes to tell people what true love is through this single, and is willing to revise the erotic love view of the world under the secular values. "Love is patience and kindness. Love is not jealous, boastful or puffed up; Don't do rude things, don't seek your own benefits, don't get angry easily, and don't care about other people's mistakes; I don't like injustice, but I like truth. Love is all-embracing, believing, looking forward to and enduring. Love is patient and kind. It is not jealous, boastful or proud. It is not rude, selfish, angry easily and bears no grudges. Love doesn't like evil, but likes truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always persists. (1 Corinthians 13:4)

In the song "True Love", he sang the definition of true love in the Bible in 1 Corinthians in English. Everything is tolerance and patience. People can have all kinds of knowledge and prosperity, but without love, they are nothing.
