Fw: 31-My loving Father saved me from melancholia/depression and suicidal death urges

My loving Father saved me from melancholia/depression and suicidal death urges

Deaconess Keunok Park (Age:37, Choonchun Manmin Church) In 2003, I had abundant possessions including a high quality of home, shopping buildings, two cars, and stock dividend from a motel. I lived a rich life. I had fellowship with wealthy wives of the "Fifties" living in Choonchun city, and my life was lavish. I considered money as the most valuable thing and became so arrogant that I came to avoid the poor. Melancholia and the urge of suicidal death However, from February of 2004 on, the economic condition went into depression and I could not get back the money I had lent before. Until then I had joined a few credit unions, and had to deposit some amount of money into those unions. I began to borrow money from the people around me and the principal and interest on the loans started to increase like falling snow. As a result, I could not sleep enough, and suffered from nightmares when I did sleep, thinking, 'Into which credit union shall I put the money tomorrow? What amount is it?' From June of 2004, I slept less than two hours at a time. In July and August, I lost so much weight and became very skinny. During the summer time my nerves grew so sensitive that I had not bathed myself for more than ten days and not brushed my teeth for more than seven days. The symptoms of deep depression began to appear. My husband took me to the hospital and the doctor advised me to be admitted to the hospital immediately. Afterwards I took medicine every day but my mind became dreary and I felt the urge to commit suicide because I felt so helpless to everybody. 'Why am I a mentally deranged woman?' One day at the sunset, I tried to hang myself with a baby diaper. But I stepped down on the top of a chair and my suicide attempt failed. After that I tried to commit suicide once more. Finally I was sent to a metal hospital. My body deteriorated to the point in which I could not walk properly. My condition was too serious to stay in the mental hospital, so I left there. But many people gossiped about my admission to the mental hospital. I could not attend my church anymore, a small church near at my house. I lived each day only by the medications that I took. Guided to Manmin Church by my sister-in-law In the December of 2004, my sister-in-law, Deaconess Minja Jung, who was attending Changwon Manmin Church, came to Choonchun to participate in the my uncle's funeral and told me about Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and about his church, the Manmin Joong-ang Church and the powerful works happening there. Before then I used to neglect her. I ridiculed her by saying she was too wrapped up in her church. But because I had suffered from depression for so many months, my emotions were stimulated. I listened when she talked about miracles such as the blind come to see, the mute to speak, the lame to walk, and all kinds of diseases including cancers and mental diseases are cured. I thought the only thing I had to rely on was the power of Rev. Dr. Lee and promised to her I would attend Choonchun Manmin Church. Afterwards I was guided to Choonchun Manmin Church by the help of Deaconess Jungja Park. I went with my body unwashed for ten days and in black sport clothes. After the service I consulted with Rev. Dongheon Kim and my heart began to be opened. That week I attended the Wednesday service with my children and registered at Manmin Church. I was told that the New Year's Service would be held two weeks later, and I deeply felt that I wanted to be healed from the depths of my heart and to live a happy life with my family again. I restored happiness after healed of melancholia On the day of New Year's Service I came to Manmin Joong-ang Church in Seoul and asked Rev. Dr. Lee to pray for healing and gave him some offering that I had prepared. He cried, 'Depression, go away! Light, come upon her!" When he prayed for me earnestly, I felt his deep and ardent love and my heart was moved. While he was praying, I was reminded of some sins including my past prejudice against Manmin Joong-ang Church, about the wrong reports of MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Center), and my arrogant life with money. I repented of those sins with tears. When I turned my body after his prayer, I felt a cool wind blowing into my nose. During the New Year's Service I was very touched by the message, worship dances and praises. "What a wonderful and unexpected life it is!" Since I came back to Choonchun City, monthly period resumed and I was healed of insomnia (sleeplessness). I came to sleep comfortably and my face looked reddish and smiles were restored. Listening to the audio sermon tapes of Rev. Dr. Lee "The Message of the Cross" and "Goodness" all the symptoms of melancholia disappeared and I began a healthy life. Hallelujah! My family and my husband's family confessed God made me alive again and registered at Choonchun Manmin Church. I have let my house for sale from 2003 to pay back my debt of the amount of 200 million Won (200 thousand US Dollars), for which I received Rev. Dr. Lee's prayer when he prayed for the healing of my melancholia on the day of New Year's service. About four months later, on March 31, an old man and his wife came to me and we contracted for the house by 235 million Won (235 thousand dollars). I give all thanks and glory to God who has led me out of the worldly way leading to death and to the altar of life! Thank Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melancholia/Depression is a serious society problem These days a famous Korean actress committed suicide because of melancholia and many Koreans including housewives, college girl students, horse-riders, and nurses imitated her. Real actions need to be taken. Melancholia used to be a minor disease tens of years ago, but today WHO (World Health Organization) regards it as one of the ten worst diseases of the 21st century. The Korean statistics says 3.2 million people, 8 % of the whole population suffered from melancholia last year. Now melancholia is an epidemic disease. Let us introduce a few examples of those who have escaped from the suffering of melancholia and restored happy lives. Deaconess Ranok Cho has suffered from melancholia and sleeplessness from five years ago, and tried to commit suicide a few times. But when she attended the Divine Healing Meeting at the Friday All-night service in July 2004, she repented of her sins with tears and was completely healed through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Lee. Now she is living a happy life. Deacon Sesup Shim felt the urge to kill himself a few times in a state of depression and insomnia due to the stock market failure. While hearing the message of Rev. Dr. Lee, he suddenly felt his shoulders unfolding and his body pulled back. After that his body became hot and was completely healed of melancholia and bad digestion. Deacon Kichul Park suffered from severe mental pressures due to excessive debts of 170 million Won (170 thousand US Dollars) from credit card loans, bank loans and personal debts from starting a business. He even tried to kill himself. But reading Rev. Dr. Lee's testimonial memoirs "Tasting Eternal Life before Death" he received the Holy Spirit and his heart became filled with the hope for heaven. In addition, it was not long before he was blessed in both good health and in finances.

Fw: 30-I regained my life after my soul saw Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee

I regained my life after my soul saw Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee

Rev. Elisha Kehenze (Kenya Kitale Manmin Church, 51) I live in a village far away, 30 kilometers or a 10 hours' bus ride from Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. I was condemned to death due to severe fever In February 2004, I served an elementary school as its principal and was a pastor ministering a Pentecostal church. One day I received a calendar as a present from a kinsman living in Nairobi. In that calendar are the photos of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee, who had conducted the 2001 Kenya Holy Gospel Crusade, and Rev. Myongho Cheong, who serves Nairobi Manmin Church. Until that time, I had not known either of them because I belonged to a different denomination and I had not met them. In June 2004, something went wrong with my liver and I suffered from vomiting and fever. I went to Kitale Hospital and had my lungs and liver examined, but no exact reason was revealed. I could not eat any food, nor could I sleep because of the pains all over my body. I lost 25 kilograms of weight in 5 weeks. Doctors told my family to prepare for my funeral. In anguish and with tears I prayed to the Lord to receive my spirit and was preparing for the last moment. My spirit saw Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee In July 7 2004, my spirit came out of my body and saw my body lying down on the floor. There, six messengers of hell were waiting to take my soul to hell. They were about to take me, saying, "We will take you where we live." At that moment, a large light shone in and a number of angels appeared. Among them, I found two persons – Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and Rev. Myongho Cheong whom I had seen in that calendar. Rev. Dr. Lee was encircled with big and brilliant lights and beside him was Rev. Myongho Cheong. The angels drove out the evil spirits, and Rev. Myongho Cheong told me, "Kehenze, go preach the gospel." A few moments later the two persons and angels disappeared and my spirit came back into the body. I affiliated my church to Manmin after revival When I woke up, my whole body was full of sweat and fever and all the pains including liver disease had already disappeared. Afterwards, I was able to eat any food and drink as I wanted, and regained 30 kilograms because any of the food I ate was changed into blood and flesh. When I was brought back to life, my wife was the most joyous. After the healing, I came to Nairobi Manmin Holiness Church, and then I affiliated my church to Manmin. Rev. Myongho Cheong was pleased and prayed for me, and my excitement and joy was so great. From that time on, I have testified to my healing and experience and publicized Manmin church to whomever I have known. Many pastors and churches in Kitale area who have known me have been touched by the works of God manifested through Rev. Dr. Lee and longed to be affiliates to Manmin. In the last February, with our invitation, Rev. Myongho Cheong conducted a pastors' conference and about 200 pastors and church servants attended it. He delivered the messages about depths of the spiritual realm we had not heard, and many pastors were moved. Now they are preparing for another conference in the coming April.

Fw: 29-Tumors are no more seen!

Tumors are no more seen!

Deaconess Sunhee Hwang (3-12th Parish, Women Mission) A few months ago, I sometimes had a discharge of blood, but at first I neglected it. Afterwards bleeding worsened and I went for an evaluation last January 25th. I was diagnosed with the prodromal stage of cervical cancer. Despite the result of the hospital, my heart was comfortable. That was because I had witnessed countless people healed of various diseases including cancers by the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee and I believed in God. I guessed that there was a spiritual cause for my disease, and began to look back at my past life in prayer. I realized that I had not been in peace with others while doing works of God, and not obeyed God by trying to choose just what was acceptable to me, and repented of them. Last February 9, I went to Rev. Dr. Lee to greet him on Lunar New Year's Day. After we greeted him, he spoke the words of blessing and then prayed for many church members there. He prayed emphatically for the healing of cancers, and the idea hit upon me that he was praying for me and I would be healed that day. During the prayer time, I felt something hot running down on my back. After the prayer he announced that those who were healed that day testify to their healings, and shook hands with all of the people in attendance. I shook hands with him after I wrote on my right palm "I want to be healed of the prodromal stage of cervical cancer." My heart was filled with faith and joy, and to my surprise bleeding stopped from that day on. I was certain of God's healing and tried my best to bear fruits of repentance with obedience and peace with others. On February 17, with a smile, I went to my doctor to be reexamined. The doctor asked me why, as a patient, I was smiling. Ten days later I received the result of reexamination, which said, "No tumor is seen anymore! Completely healed!" How thankful and joyful! I give all the glory and thanks to God who healed me wit His power of creation, and give thanks to Rev. Dr. Lee. 1. Before the prayer - Diagnosed with prodromal stage of cervical cancer 2. After the prayer - No symptom of prodromal stage of cervical cancer

Fw: 28-My son was healed of a rare disease, Harada Disease

My son was healed of a rare disease, Harada Disease

Deaconess Youngmi Yoo (Masan manmin Church, 35) In April 2003, my 3-month-old son Donghwan suffered from high fever and vomiting. I took him to a hospital and he was diagnosed as the case of bacterial encephalomeningitis (inflammation in the brain). At that time there were a few clusters of pus in his brain and he had to be operated on. Doctors said that he had a 99.9% chance that he would be stricken with hydrocephalus (water in the brain) even after he received operation. He told us to go to a bigger hospital. I felt totally despaired in the face of my son's serious disease. Aftereffect of my son's encephalomeningitis In that situation my younger sister, Deaconess Soomi Yoo, Rev. Santae Kim, ministering Masan Manmin Church, and many church members visited me and I became strengthened by their loving care. They introduced to me the works of power happening at Manmin Joong-ang Church and planted faith in me. I was like a drowning man who will clutch at a straw, and when I heard the news about the 12th Two-week Special Revival Meeting, I registered at Masan Manmin Church under the guidance of my sister and Rev. Kim's wife. It was as soon as I walked into the church sanctuary and heard touching praise that I shed tears. Listening to the messages of Rev. Dr. Lee broadcast via satellite, I gained spiritual life and realized my son's disease was due to his parents' sins. My son's disease was healed by the living God I thoroughly repented that I had complained and lamented rather than to cherish my son and that I had become addicted to drinking and worldly pleasures as if this world were everything. When Rev. Dr. Lee prayed for the sick from the pulpit after preaching, he said, "Be cured! Encephalomeningitis! Dead cells, be made alive!" and I received his prayer with sincerity. Since then, my son got well very quickly. One day, after two weeks, the doctor permitted my son to leave the hospital because there was no after-effects found in him. Hallelujah! My son has no after-effects from the operation at all since then on. Through this experience, I met the living God and came to keep the Lord's Day holy and prayed for my faith to grow. I almost lost my sight because of Harada Disease In the mid January of 2005, my left eye suddenly began to dim out and the sight of both eyes weakened. Objects looked vague or almost invisible. Many objects seemed yellow and straight lines appeared curved and waved. Still worse, vomiting and dizziness followed. Doctor said to me, "It's Harada Disease. Objects look vague and rugged because tumors are in your eyes." He said that he could not find the cause of the disease and the eyesight was not easy to recover with medical treatment. If tumors increased, they would cover the eye's nerves and it would cause me to lose my sight. Nonetheless, I thought I would be healed by the power of God and glorify Him and was joyful and thankful unlike when my son Donghwan had been stricken with encephalomeningitis. I began to look back at myself in prayer, and repented that I had relied on medical treatment when my son caught a cold, although I had experienced he was healed by God's power, and been in discord with others or judged and condemned when their opinions disagreed with mine in fulfilling the God-given duty. All this was God's loving plan to help me find my inner self and change myself. Otherwise, I would not have realized my true self but instead dwelled in sins. Afterwards through the prayer of the broadcasts and the handkerchief Rev. Dr. Lee had prayed on, my dizziness and vomiting were gone. I was healed after repentance On the last February 4, I came to Rev. Dr. Lee to receive his prayer for complete healing. When he said, "Dead eye nerves, be made alive! Light come on her!" I was filled with joy, thanks and assurance of my healing. A few hours later I found myself watching Friday all-night service on TV with perfect eyesight. Captions looked clear to my eyes. Eyes came to focus on what I wanted to see, objects did not appear rugged and vague any longer and each color of all objects became clear. No object looked yellow at all. Hallelujah! On February 14, I went for reevaluation to ascertain my healing and glorify God. My doctor said, "Amazing! Your eyes are normal." The doctor who knew my eyes had been very serious several weeks earlier was surprised at the fact I could look at anything well. After close examination, he confirmed my tumors disappeared and swelling was solved. He asked me whether I had received medical treatment at another hospital. I gave him a clear answer: "No. I just received the prayer of Rev. Dr. Lee and was healed by the power of God." My eyesight used to be 0.8/0.25 before I received the prayer, but it was improved to show 1.0/1.0 after the prayer. Now my sight is 1.2 in both eyes. I give all thanks and glory to our loving Father God and give thanks to Rev. Dr. Lee who has raised me with the word of life and prayed for me with all his sincerity. 1. Before the prayer 2.After the prayer Picture on retina tells tumors in both eyes disappeared Doctor's opinion document: Her sight changed from 0.8/0.25 to 1.0/1.0 No retinal disease is seen.

A small piece from an acrylic board that had been in my arm for 15 years popped out !

Bro. Sukchul Park (1-3rd Parish, Mission for the Deaf) 15 years ago, I worked at a bulb-manufacturing factory in Pusan. One day while working there, I had a sliver from an acrylic board split off from a bulb and pierced my right shoulder. I shed a lot of blood. Immediately I was sent to a hospital and I received an operation to remove the piece of acrylic from my shoulder. From then on I often had pain in my right arm. I had been anxious about the pain all the time, but I thought it just an after-effect from the operation. In August 2003, I started attending Manmin Joong-ang Church. At the following year's revival meeting, I saw Sis. Nancho Chun healed of her deafness and recover her hearing by the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. It gave me good faith. A few months later I experienced an unusual miracle. Last autumn, the pain in my right arm increased suddenly and my arm became swollen, so that I could not continue working. Someone told me that it would be healed if I put Muan sweet water on it. I obeyed at that very moment and put the Muan water on the most painful part of my arm. Then, that part began to fester and a month later when seepage oozed out I found a strange object in it. It was an acrylic sliver about 2.1 centimeters (0.82 inch) that had left behind in my shoulder during the operation 15 years ago. I give thanks to God the Father who let me find the piece of acrylic that had remained in my arm for 15 years and removed it in His way.

I gained the first place in my college after I had my study keep pace with my prayer and service

Bro. Jihoon Choi (Sophomore of Soongsil University, College Mission) I am now a sophomore majoring in Industrial Information and System Engineering at the Soongsil University. Since my entrance, I have studied hard to glorify God, and I received the highest ranking recognition in my department. When I talked about it to my senior pastor, he was pleased and prayed for something unexpected. He prayed to God, "Let him the highest ranking among all the students of his college and be glorified through him. Light, come on him." I was first surprised at his words of "the highest rank of my college" but I received his prayer with "Amen" and began to study harder than ever before, keeping my faith and prayer abreast of my study. I prayed every night to God with joy and thanksgiving and filled with the Holy Spirit. I studied hard and had a clear mind in my classes although I might not have slept enough the night before because of my studies. Meanwhile I prayed thinking how I could please God. In my church, a special play for the 22nd church anniversary and Christmas play were performed and I was put in charge of the play properties. Serving the church that way, I studied hard all the more. On January 24, I got the final credit report of the second semester of my freshman year. The result was that I received all A+ in eight subjects, 4.5 points, one hundred percent! I received the highest ranking in my college and in my university. I became certain that I could keep my study abreast of my faith if I am able to be given the wisdom and strength from God.

Fw: 25-[Mission Letter] A letter from Chennai Manmin Church in India

[Mission Letter] A letter from Chennai Manmin Church in India

I send my greetings in the name of the precious Lord from Chennai, India. 1. The staring service of Chennai Manmin Church 2. The removal of Hindu temples by the urgent ordinance of the high court (The Hindu Newspaper, February 19th, 2005) Three months after the founding of Chennai Manmin Church, it feeds church members with the word of life like other branch churches in Korea and is laying a firm foundation as a native and local church. Many pastors who had attended the 2002 India Miracle Healing Prayer Festival and had known our senior pastor Rev. Dr. Lee sometimes participated in the services of Chennai Manmin Church and invited me to deliver the message at their own churches. As a result of last year's election for the House of Representatives, DMK (National Democratic Alliance) party, which sides with Christianity, became a majority party in Tamil Nadu state, and Hinduism, more than 90 % of the religion in India, has fallen gradually. Last year two major Hindu leaders gave many Hindus a big shock because of their scandal in Hindu temples, and a few weeks ago more than 356 illegal Hindu temples in the city of Madurai, Tamil Nadu were forcefully cleared away according to the urgent decision of the high court. The preparation of the 2nd International Christian Medical Conference that will be held in Taj Hotel in Chennai, India in May under the main title "Spirituality and Medicine" has been fine and it is expected that more than 500 medical doctors, nurses, and medical college students from 30 overseas countries will join. In the session of divine healing, various cases of diseases healed by the power of God through the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee will be announced along with the medical data confirmed by medical doctors. We are praying for the successful conference and its effective impact on India. Sincerely Yours Pastor Joseph Han and Pastor Sanghui Kim in Chennai India
