The joy of having been healed of insomnia and neurogenic heart disease!

~ Deaconess Gwi-lye Kim (56, Eastern Gwangju Manmin Church) Having been tormented by insomnia from the time I was 17 years of age, I would go without any sleep for a week, 10 days, or even longer. My memory also suffered and I constantly felt lethargic from head to toe. When insomnia was coupled with neurogenic heart disease, I felt heavy in the chest. I tried anything and everything imaginable to be cured but it was all in vain. Then one day in April 2004, I read a copy of Manmin News that my daughter Yu-ra had brought home. In it were the reports of the wondrous works of God's power that healed all types of terminal and incurable diseases, injuries, and infirmities as manifested by the prayer of Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee. The following month, I visited Eastern Gwangju Manmin Church that is near my home. However, as there was no progress with my illness even as I was receiving grace from the messages, with no true faith my heart was soon engulfed in conflict. Then one day, Rev. Yeon-ok Jung, Pastor at Eastern Gwangju Manmin, visited me with a box of Korean pears, simply telling me that God had led her to pay me a visit. At that moment, I was deeply touched in the heart and I began to call Eastern Gwangju Manmin my "home church." As peace settled in my heart, I could begin to sleep little by little. Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's messages I heard via the live broadcast were sweeter than the honey from the comb. Then one day in 2005, I received the grace of rending my heart in repentance as I remembered having gone to see fortunetellers and practiced exorcism before believing in God. As I offered to Him an atonement offering and began destroying the wall of sin standing in my way to God, I began to suffer from insomnia less. In order to receive complete healing, I attended "The Daniel Prayer Meeting" every evening, fasted, and clung to God all the more desperately. Then I had an astounding experiencing as I attended the Church-wide Summer Retreat in August 2006. When I received Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer for the sick after his lecture, I felt a flow of electricity, which first gushed downward from my chest, envelop my body. The "flow" was so powerful that I even yelped. From that very night on, I could get a good night's sleep and the neurogenic heart disease that had always made my chest feel heavy, was gone completely. Hallelujah!

Fw: 123-Do you know the joy of no longer having the need for a wheelchair?!

Do you know the joy of no longer having the need for a wheelchair?!

Rev. Chen Tsen Man from Taiwan experiences God's power Many of the visitors from Taiwan to Manmin Joong-ang Church in Seoul, Korea, in May 2007 received God's healing and had a taste of the spiritual world. One such notable example is Rev. Chen Tsen Man, Senior Pastor at Shin Hang Church and President of the West Coast Mission Center, who had arrived in Korean in a wheelchair but has returned home on foot. From the infantile paralysis suffered at the age of 2 and the traffic accident suffered 14 years ago, Rev. Chen Tsen Man had been using a cane to support herself and recently begun using a wheelchair due to the excruciating pain in her legs. Upon reading Dr. Jaerock Lee's published works and watching the DVD of "The 2006 New York Crusade with Dr. Jaerock Lee," Rev. Chen Tsen Man began longing for spiritual messages filled with life and works of God's power, and ended up visiting Manmin last month with the faith by which she believed she could be healed. After becoming filled with the Holy Spirit and receiving abundant grace from the Seminar, Rev. Chen Tsen Man had a marvelous experience during the second half of the Friday All-night Service that began on May 25. When Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed for the sick from the pulpit, Rev. Chen Tsen Man felt her feet shake and saw a bright light descending on them. The pain in her legs subsequently disappeared and she was given strength in her legs. She was able to stand up on her own without the need of a wheelchair and can now walk about for a long time. Hallelujah! As she has returned home on foot, we look forward to hearing many great things from her ministry in the future.

Fw: 122-My life abounds with joy and blessings as I serve the hearing-impaired.

My life abounds with joy and blessings as I serve the hearing-impaired.

~ Deaconess Myong-hwa Chung (1-4 Women's Mission) Diligently learning sign language with a vision to serve God I saw how deaf-mutes at "The 2000 Nagoya Healing Festival with Dr. Jaerock Lee" received overflowing grace through the message delivered in sign language and became evidently touched in their heart. From that point on, with a vision to serve God, I began diligently learning sign language. In 2001, the Hearing-impaired Mission was launched at Manmin Joong-ang Church. I not only kept up my sign language studies with instructional videos on the Internet and books, but I also tried to expand my ability and increased my sign vocabulary by trying out sign language through frequent visits and purchases from deaf-mute street vendors. In a short while, I was able to minister to deaf-mutes and after receiving Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, my sign language skills improved greatly to an extent that now I could simultaneously translate sermon messages. As I serve God and the church with this service, I am always aware and grateful of the precious gift of speech and the ability to hear. From this, I have also come to possess the heart by which I could love others. Teeming blessings from the service Up until two years ago, financial difficulty forced me to work. After vowing to commit everything to God and to strive even more for His kingdom, I quit my job and made every effort to my duties as district leader and to the hearing-impaired service. God then did His part right away. According to my faith, He blessed my husband's salary to increase three-, fourfold at a minimum, and to five-, six times at the most. Starting last year, I have been carrying out my God-given duty as sub-district leader and visiting the deaf-mute members of the church, and I often hear marvelous testimonies from them. What I do feel all the more rewarding when I hear the testimony of a deaf-mute couple, who say they become so thrilled and joyful whenever they hear the Senior Pastor's messages. Or when I heard from another person, who had been deaf-mute but says he could now hear after receiving the Senior Pastor's prayer, I was so grateful I was on the verge of tears. What I do is very little but I could not be happier than the times I see deaf-mute members who meet with God, experience His power, and grow their faith. From hours and weeks of service, my sign language has become good enough for me to tutor it at Yeok-gok Eastern Women's Middle School once a month. My husband Deacon Hyung-yul Han is faithful to God with his duty as director of the Rainbow Chrous, and is very proud of what I do for God. Our son, perhaps having learned from my service, never hesitates to look after his peers at school who have been isolated by others. The sign language service has brought me overflowing joy and blessings to my life. Hallelujah! Beautiful Work of the Hearing-impaired Mission Launched in 2001 through the devotion of a number of sign language volunteers, the Hearing-impaired Mission (Rev. Soo-yeol Cho, Guidance Pastor) has ministered with diligence to deaf-mutes, held joint wedding ceremonies and honeymoons, summer retreats, "Welcome Parties," and provided beauty care services. The Mission has also offered legal and family counseling, simultaneous translation during worship services, and has paved a wider channel of communication between deaf-mute members and regular members at Manmin by holding sign language classes. With a vision to nurture workers through district revitalization and establishing a disabled-persons district, the Mission is planning to invite other deaf-mute churches and organizations in financial difficulty to its summer retreat this year. Over the years many people at Manmin have received their hearing after receiving prayer from Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee. Through the beautiful work of the Hearing-impaired Mission we expect many more deaf-mute brothers and sisters to gain and lead new lives by having their hearing restored through the experiencing of God's power. The sign language translation is offered during every worship service at Manmin Joong-ang Church.

I'm grateful to have experienced the power of the Living God.

~ Deacon Sae-young Oh (Gongju Manmin Church) On March 30, 2007, there was a sharp pain on the left side of my body. At first, I thought nothing of it but the pain lasted for the next three days. An evaluation at the hospital revealed that I could be suffering from either pneumonia or pulmonary tuberculosis and the doctor advised that I be tested again in a week's time. However, as I had seen many times the works of God's power manifested through the prayers of Dr. Jaerock Lee, I was given the faith by which I desired to be healed by God and with His Word I began examining myself and my life in Christ. I attended all kinds of worship services and prayer meetings and beseeched God. I soon remembered how I had not given God the whole tithes and how I had grumbled against my family and failed to serve them, and I repented of my wrongdoings. As I drank the Muan Sweet Water of God's power (Exodus 15:25) and received the Senior Pastor's prayer during the satellite broadcast of worship services, the pain began to subside. Then on Sunday, April 15, on the sixth anniversary of Gongju Manmin Church (Rev. Jin-bum Suh, Pastor), Pastor Heesun Lee came to my church as guest speaker and prayed for the sick with the handkerchief on which Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed (Acts 19:11-12). After that, I became even more certain of God's healing. The next day, I underwent another evaluation at the hospital and found that everything had returned to normal. As I am now able to run about freely, I give all thanks and glory to my Father God for allowing me to experience the power of the living God. X-ray results 1. ~ Before receiving prayer: possibility of pneumonia (4/2/07) 2. ~ After receiving prayer: everything back to normal (4/16/07)

After giving birth to goodness and love in my life, I can now see

~ Min-gu Kang (1-1 Parish; Sub-district Leader, 1-3 Men's Mission) In anguish from discord at home After marrying my wife Deaconess Mi-jin Choe in 1999, we had many troubles and arguments from early on in our marriage stemming from the differences in personality, including her preference to have things neat and tidy in contrast to my clumsiness, her desire to experience emotional love compared to my indifference, and even our different sleeping patterns. My wife eventually ended up suffering from insomnia and depression and losing 7 kilograms (about 15.4 pounds) and we even contemplated divorce. We were not able to go through that, however, and continued to live together in mutual indifference towards each other. My wife, who desperately sought to live in faith in God, attended a variety of worship services and began a prayer life. I, on the other hand, was going to church reluctantly and when things came up, I did not think too much of missing church on the Lord's Day. When I quit my job, which hadn't been paying me all that well anyway, I became wholly dependent on my wife. Indecisive, lazy, and anything but resolved, there was little I could do with my own might. Discovering and transforming myself while taking care of weak souls I was unable to go to church one Sunday in February 2006 from cold-induced fatigue and a couple of members of the church soon paid me a visit soon afterwards. When 1 Men's Mission Assistant United Mission Leader Deacon Kyung-suk Ko and Sub-district Leader Deacon Jae-dong Han visited me at home, I told them honestly that my faith had remained the same from 10 years ago. Then Deacon Han suggested, "If you come with us when we visit other members, your life in Christ will change. Let's try it for a year." I agreed to it unwittingly and began serving every Saturday as a driver when visiting weak souls. An opportunity through which I discovered myself came to pass. I visited many a married couple who for years used different bedrooms, who for years stayed together in marriage because they had no other choice. I began asking myself, 'Is that what I look like? Have I been a faithful and trustworthy spouse to my wife?' As I thus looked back at and examined myself, I was grateful for my wife who had stood by me for a long time. Unceasing laughter at home upon realizing the importance of my wife When I visited a weak member whose home was quite messy, I felt the importance of my wife who usually kept our home neat and tidy, and who ran our household very efficiently. When I thanked her and apologized to her for not having been much of help in and around the house, I could tell her ill feelings were beginning to dissipate and her heart was touched. My wife rejoiced as I now got up on my own on Sundays without her intervention since I was entrusted with bringing to church a fellow member. As I spoke with my wife about a weak soul who had not come to church for over 10 years and others like him, there were now less conflicts and confrontations between us. As we created such a joyous and peaceful family, I came to trust and love my wife all the more and developed a habit of seeking her opinions in making decisions big and small. In the middle of April 2006, I met as usual with Deacon Kyung-tae Noh during a Saturday afternoon session of visiting church members. On that day, Deacon Noh, president of an insurance company, asked me if I would be interested in working in the insurance industry. I came home and discussed the proposal with my wife, who in turn told and encouraged me, "I know that business is a place of God's blessing from Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's interest and prayer. You can also keep the Lord's Day holy. Why don't you give it a try?" Thus, I began a career in the insurance industry. Adjusting to a new workplace, living by faith As I was passive and introvert, however, I was shown the door many times even before I could begin introducing the services my company offered. I had not had a sale even after a month of working there. One day, I went into a municipal office where I was received so coldly by its manager that in shame I couldn't keep my head up. I thought to myself, 'I cannot do this. I am not fit for this kind of work and have not even had a single sale. I'll go back to the office and tell them I'm quitting.' Then I caught in the corner of my eye one of the clerks in the municipal office and got the sudden urge to go up and speak with him. Soon after I began introducing the services, he said he would like to sign up for them. To plant a seed of confidence in my heart, God had moved that clerk's heart. I found out later that when I began working as an insurance sales agent, my wife had received Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer so that I would adjust well to a new line of work. After this experience, I began to believe that if God took charge, I could do anything. I prayed, asking God to send me clients. I began each working day after receiving the Senior Pastor's prayer recorded on a telephone voice recording system. Once a month, the rest of the employees and I sowed offerings and received the Senior Pastor's prayer for blessing. I soon had wondrous experiences as people and places work I would've never expected signed contracts with me. People who had called earlier to cancel their policies called back, saying that they could trust me and wanted to keep the policies. Financial blessings as well as spiritual prosperity Ten months after I started working in the insurance industry amidst God's blessings, I now give Him over $1,100 a month in tithes. Looking back, I am certain God was pleased with the devotion of my wife who did her very best in giving God mission offerings every month and increased the tithes by faith. I am also grateful for His blessings as, from the position of Group Manager, He has elevated me to the position of Mission Sub-district Leader this year after my faithfulness in visiting weak souls on Saturdays and Sundays. I give all thanks and glory to God and would also like to express my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Jaerock Lee for his heartfelt prayer.

Fw: 119-I've been healed of acute hepatitis A!

I've been healed of acute hepatitis A!

~ Mi-ae Kim (3 Young Adults' Mission) On March 1 of this year, I came down with high fever and vomiting. In the following 3-4 days, I lost 4 kilograms (about 9 pounds) and my body grew rapidly weak. As I threw up whatever I ate, I didn't want to even smell any food. On March 6, I went to a nearby hospital for a blood test and the following day, the doctor there wrote me a referral and urged me to go to a larger hospital. On March 8, I went to Chung-ang University Medical Center and underwent another exam, which revealed that I was diagnosed with acute hepatitis A, that liver level was 50 times higher (1,900) than the average level (0~40), and that my body was showing signs of jaundice. I wondered, "Why has this disease found me?" I soon realized that I had not worshipped God in spirit and in truth and that I had failed to pray from the heart. I repented of my wrongdoings and on Sunday, March 11, I received handkerchief prayer (Acts 19:11-12) from Rev. Mi-kyung Lee, general guidance pastor of the Youth Mission. Anxiety I had been feeling for days disappeared as peace settled in my heart, and I became convinced that I'd been healed. Quite wondrously, I could eat the kind of food I had been unable and unwilling to have. I could also tell that I had no trouble with digestion either. An examination on my next visit to the hospital the following day revealed that the liver level had dropped back to the normal level of 40 and jaundice had also disappeared. The doctor said he had never witnessed anything quite like it and was stunned by the speed of improvement in my condition. I was back at work by Monday, March 19. I underwent another examination on April 20 and was told that everything, including my liver, was functioning normally and there was no sign of jaundice. Hallelujah! Results of liver-function examination 1. Before receiving prayer: high level of liver level 2. After receiving prayer: liver level returned to normal level Hepatitis A: an acute infectious liver disease most commonly transmitted by the orofecal route, such as contaminated water or food Hepatitis B: also known as "serum hepatitis"; most commonly transmitted by injection or sexual contact

Where else shall I go when the message of eternal life are here?

~ Deaconess Kiyoko Tsuzuku (President, Women's Mission, Tokyo Tabata Manmin Church) Amidst a desperate life in Christ Born in the city of Ida in Nagano Pref, I was baptized at an early age but I had lukewarm faith and I went to church sporadically. After marrying my husband, our daughter Naoko began attending church during her grade school years after she had been preached the gospel by one of her friends and when she invited me to one of the Bible Study sessions, I also began attending church. However, I could not obtain clear answers from the Bible Study pastor whether or not all I needed was to be baptized in order to go to heaven or about Jesus, the Millennium, and how to receive the Holy Spirit. After moving from Ida to Tokyo in 1999, I desired with all my heart to meet a pastor who loved God and correctly taught Scripture the way the apostle Paul had done. Led to Tokyo Tabata Manmin Church Then in March 2003, an old friend introduced me to Rev. Isao Kato, Senior Pastor at Beppu Manmin Church. Rev. Isao Kato told me about how his life turned upside down and how he is now leading a life filled with bliss after meeting with Dr. Jaerock Lee, Senior Pastor at Manmin Joong-ang Church in Seoul, Korea, and shared with me the news of Rev. Dr. Lee's messages of life and manifestations of God's power. At his urging, I visited Tokyo Tabata Manmin Church. I soon became convinced that I was finally at the church I had long sought. Experiencing true bliss through Dr. Jaerock Lee's messages About three weeks after I began attending Tokyo Tabata Manmin Church, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee visited me in my dream one night. After that, joy overflowed in my life as all I wanted to do was smile. Even when trials of faith came my way, I could overcome them as I remained filled with the Holy Spirit. I lived about an hour away from the church at the time but, after finally discovering a church that so clearly and thoroughly explained all the questions I had had about the Bible, I had no reason to hesitate attending not only the worship services on Sundays but also the Friday All-night Service, the Wednesday Evening Service, and the Daniel Prayer Meeting. Layman Missionary Jang-suk Ahn and his wife Eun-soo Ha helped me with great diligence and devotion nurture my faith by teaching me Dr. Jaerock Lee's message series including "The Message of the Cross," "The Beatitudes," "The Nine Fruit of the Holy Spirit," "The Ten Plagues," "The Ten Commandments," "Spiritual Love as Defined in 1 Corinthians 13," "Five Levels of Faith," and "The World of Evil Spirits." I cannot adequately describe with words how joyful and thankful I was when I heard the messages on "The Ten Plagues" and finally realized why I had faced in my life all sorts of difficulties big and small, and how I was to plan the rest of my life. I also felt like I could soar into the heavens as I participated in simultaneous broadcasts of worship services signaled from Korea and received thorough explanations on "Lectures on Genesis" and "Lectures on Leviticus," both books about which I had always been very curious. Experiencing God's power with handkerchief prayer and Muan Sweet Water ~ With Sunday School students Furthermore, news of the lengthening of shorter legs or the healings of such incurable diseases as cancer, against which the most modern and advanced medicine is utterly powerless, by Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer only served to plant greater seeds of faith in my heart. Then one day, I slipped down there was tremendous pain in my ankle. When Rev. Kyungtae Jung, Pastor at Tokyo Tabata Manmin prayed for me with the handkerchief on which Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed (Acts 19:11-12), the pain went away immediately and my ankle returned to its normal state. Hallelujah! When shingles developed in my right eye, on one side of my nose and mouth, and inside my ears in May 2006, the only way I could deal with the pain was by biting on my teeth. Then one night, unable to withstand the pain, I applied a piece of cotton swab drenched in the Muan Sweet Water (Exodus 15:25) inside my ears and I was marvelously healed within two days. I had heard that someone who was suffering from shingles received medical treatment but his face had only ended up turning numb. I, on the other hand, had been completely cleaned without any scars remaining. Desiring to see the gospel of sanctification spread all across Japan With the message of life on my side, I am making every effort today to keep discovering myself and wholly accomplish the kind of heart with which Father God is pleased. The Lord has met with me after I came out of a long and dark tunnel, has given me joy and peace, and has covered me in His light. I desire to see countless brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as countless pastors and ministers, all over Japan to hear and be transformed by the precious gospel of sanctification. I give all thanks and glory to God and I would also like to convey the sincerest gratitude to Dr. Jaerock Lee for always leading my life with his messages of life.
