“Secondly, you always oppose our government and our religious policies. You attack our Three-Self Patriotic Church and call it a harlot. During the past four years there is no indication that you’ve changed your ways or that you’re sorry for your many crimes.

“Thirdly, we’ve taken care of you in prison like loving parents, but you had the audacity to write a poem stating our camp is like a big graveyard, a place of thorns! Our government has tried everything to try to make you useful and productive to our country, but you’ve resisted all our efforts.”

The more he spoke the angrier he became. He shouted, “Today we’re going to give you the most serious lesson you’ve ever had! Perhaps you will wake up and mend your ways.”

Several guards were called in and told, “Take Yun away and entertain him properly!”

I was taken to a torture room. They handcuffed me and used electric batons, whips and sticks to beat and torture me. My flesh was ripped open and wounds covered my body. Before I lapsed into unconsciousness, the word of the Lord came to me, “This is your calling. You should patiently endure because of the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus.”

After I regained consciousness I lay still on the ground like a dead man. The guards took me and threw me back into the tiny cell. My hands and feet were manacled with chains.

That same night the Lord gave me a vivid dream. In it, my handcuffs suddenly snapped and I was free! In the dream I was reading a study Bible. I preached to some of the brothers I’d been in prison with and encouraged them to testify for the Lord. The Catholic Father Yu came to me joyfully and repeated, “Jesus is victorious over all! Jesus is victorious over all!” I told him, “When I was first locked in this tiny dark cell I prayed God would give me a Bible to study.” Then in my dream we both gave thanks to the Lord in heaven.

When I awoke from my dream I found that the handcuffs were still on my hands, but the Holy Spirit told me, “Relax your hands.” As soon as I did, the handcuffs fell off! I prayed to the Lord according to what I’d seen in the dream. I said, “Lord Jesus, I love you. Thank you for allowing me to sing. Please give me a Bible.”

At around 8 a.m. the next morning a remarkable thing happened. The prison director opened the iron gate and came to my cell. He called out my name, “Yun, although you’ve committed many crimes, we still respect your faith. Yesterday we had a meeting and decided to give you a Bible. Come, take it!”

Quickly I placed the handcuffs back over my hands. I reached out for the Bible and thanked the director. He told me, “Yun, please study your Bible well and repent of your crimes so you can be a useful man.” He locked the door and left.
