During the Creation, God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. It was done with His voice, which is the original voice. The power of re-creation is also the power of the original voice.

When one freely manages the original voice in the order of the Creation God set, and as something is held in his heart, it will be accomplished upon giving out this voice. Now let's look into this 'power of re-creation'.


1. What is the power of 're-creation'?

The work of re-creation is not the work of creating something that didn't previously exist. It is the work of renewing the things that do exist. Metaphorically, it is not the work of creating a flower that does not yet exist, but it is the work of reviving the flower that is dead. When things that were beautifully created by God are destroyed or damaged, by the power of re-creation they can be recovered. Even the dead can be revived. It is the power that can renew the earth, the sky, and everything in them.

Now, what is it that is in the first priority to be renewed by the 'power of re-creation'? It is 'people.' Men were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). After Adam committed sin, however, people lost the image of God. Fortunately, when they accept Jesus Christ and receive the Holy Spirit, their dead spirits are revived. At the end time, however, sin and evil are so prevalent that it is not easy for men to have even the faith sufficient enough to receive salvation. Unrighteousness and lawlessness are rampant in the world. It is almost the same even in the Christian community.

In this end time, God doesn't give up and abandon such people. He not only wants to heal their wounded hearts, but He desires to wash their polluted hearts. He wants to manifest the power of re-creation to help them recover their lost image of God. It is the desire to give another chance to those for whom receiving salvation seems impossible by any means. This is the original love of God.

The power of re-creation started from this original love. To receive the power of re-creation, one has to present the love that could conform to the original love of God. To save a soul who can hardly be saved by justice, a corresponding price must be paid.

According to justice, the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). To save this soul from death, someone must make sacrifice for him by paying for the price of justice. Jesus was hung on the wooden cross to receive the curse of the law on our behalf. To redeem sinners from their sin, sinless Jesus shed His precious blood. As a result, a new justice was made: 'Whoever believes in Jesus Christ is forgiven of sin, and becomes a child of God.'

To have the justice that can lead souls who are unable to receive salvation to salvation, the proper sacrifice has to be made. Then, those who could not expect to receive salvation according to the law of justice would be able to get a chance to receive salvation. Many from the Christian community and the world will come into this greater boundary of justice. The justice that gives the chance of salvation even to those of this perverse generation and the justice that changes the hearts of rebellious people and causes them to kneel down before God will be completed.

And the power that makes all this possible is the power of re-creation. When the power of re-creation is manifested, people who do not truly believe in God but fear Him will be able to feel His love, their hearts will melt, and they will believe in God by their own free will.


2. The power of re-creation that removes the heart of stone and renews it

Ezekiel 36:26-27 says, "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances."

It is the prophecy regarding the recovery of Israel. And, at the same time it is also the prophecy regarding the works of the power of re-creation that will take place in the end time. It says that even the hearts that are hardened with evil can be changed by the power of re-creation. This renewed heart is referred to as 'a heart of flesh.' Once people have this 'renewed heart' they can walk by the word of God.

In Chapter 37 of Ezekiel is the vision that Ezekiel saw of the dry bones that came alive and became an army. As Ezekiel saw, there were very many bones on the surface of the valley; and they were very dry. Then, God had Ezekiel prophesy over those dry bones, and there was a noise of rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And then, sinews attached to them, flesh grew and skin covered them.

Then God commanded Ezekiel to prophesy to the breath. And the breath came from the four winds and came into them. They came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. This is the work of re-creation.

The 'dry bones' here refer to those with no possibility of restoration. There are many people who are like these dry bones. There are so many souls who have no possibility of life being renewed. Their hearts are aged, evil, deteriorated, and deformed. Even the souls in this state can be recovered, renewed, purified, and changed by the power of re-creation.

The God of love wants people who are living in this sin-filled generation to believe the living God and the authenticity of the Bible by seeing this power of re-creation and receive salvation and to enter heaven. This is His providence for the end time.


3. The power of re-creation that renews the perverted generation

1) Those who stand against a man of God, just as Korah and his people did

In Chapter 16 of Numbers is the scene that Korah, Datahn, and others took action and stood against Moses. Korah was of the tribe of Levi, and had a duty of serving in the temple. But he had a desire to go further to become a priest. And Dathan, Abiram, and their followers rose up against Moses, and they said that Moses made them suffer in the wilderness.

The acts were very evil in the sight of God. Hence, the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions. So they and all that belonged to them went down alive to Sheol; and the earth closed over them (Numbers 16:32-33). You can see how grave their evil was in the sight of God.

The sin of 'standing against God' in the Old Testament can also be found in the New Testament. That is 'blaspheming, opposing, and speaking against the Holy Spirit.' Jesus said in Mark 3:29, "But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin."

Today however, there are many who blaspheme, oppose, and speak against the Holy Spirit even among those who say they believe God. There are unbelieving people who are blinded by their own evil although they see the evidences of God. They rather judge and condemn a man of God with evil words, and slander him. It is the same as slandering God, and it cannot be forgiven.

However, God wishes that even such people can repent and get another chance of salvation. And thus, God allowed for this power of re-creation.

2) Those who deceived the Holy Spirit and betrayed the Lord just like Ananias and Sapphira, and Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot sought personal benefit and selfish greed in following Jesus. He intended to receive benefits by standing beside Jesus when Jesus came into a worldly position of power. He was in charge of the money box, and he used to pilfer what was in that money box.

But Jesus went in a direction that was different from what he expected. Eventually Judas Iscariot sold Jesus for 30 silver coins. Regarding Judas Iscariot's death, Acts 1:18 says, "Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out." How miserable is the result of betraying the Lord out of greed!

Ananias and Sapphira experienced the fiery works of the Holy Spirit and grace in the early church as written in Acts 5. They said they would sell their property and give all that they received. Once they got the money in their hands, however, they kept some of it for themselves. Then, in the clear work of the Holy Spirit, Peter the apostle of the power rebuked Ananias and Sapphira. And they died immediately.

When one deceives the Holy Spirit even though he experienced grace, it is too a grave sin. Since Apostle Peter manifested the power by the Holy Spirit, deceiving him was the same with deceiving the Holy Spirit.

Moreover, if you take a vow before the LORD your God and do not keep it, it is to deceive Him. Thus, you must not carelessly take a vow before God because it is not related to salvation. If you do have enough faith to make a vow and keep it, it will become great blessing to you.

The fact is, however, that there are so many in the Christian community of today who do even more terrible evil than Ananias and Sapphira or Judas Iscariot. But God doesn't want to forsake even those people. He shows His love to them through the power of re-creation and wants them to hold onto the chance of repentance and salvation.

3) Those who stand against the Holy Spirit due to their frameworks of knowledge like Pharisees and the scribes

The Pharisees and the scribes in the days of Jesus were those who could even recite the laws of the Old Testament and yet they didn't understand the true will of God who gave it to them.

In John 5:39, Jesus said, "It is these (the Scriptures) that testify about Me." If the Pharisees and the scribes had studied the Bible in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they could have realized that Jesus is the Messiah who was prophesied many times in the Old Testament.

But most of them read the Bible locked in the frame of their knowledge. They couldn't recognize Jesus who stood before them as the Word that had become flesh. They were like blind fools. That's why they played the leading role in crucifying Jesus.

There are such people as these in today's Christian community. They say, "I studied Theology for long years;" "I've done my ministry for many years, and many long years I have given to God;" or "I have a Ph. D in Theology, and I am more learned in the Bible than any of the others." They are proud of themselves, but there are not many of them who actually receive the work of the Holy Spirit. Their knowledge becomes their pride and they commit the sin of judging and condemning. God wants to break their hardened frameworks by the power of re-creation. He also wants them to receive the work of the Holy Spirit and receive a chance of salvation.

One should interpret the Bible in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and to do so, he should toil to penetrate through the spiritual realm with countless times of fasting and prayers. The most important thing to do is to communicate with God, read His heart, and understand His will. But most of those who proudly say they know the Bible do not make such efforts to penetrate through the spiritual realm. Since I took care of the portion that they are supposed to do on their behalf, they will be able to break such hard frameworks of knowledge and receive the work of the Holy Spirit.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, truly, we will be strong enough to be prime movers in the duty of leading all the peoples of the world to salvation. It is love that revives and renews people. I pray in the name of the Lord that you will quickly change into apostles of love and accomplish the providence for the end time together.


I was infertile but received the blessing of conception!



Brother Promod Kumar in Delhi, India had no baby because his wife's fallopian tubes were blocked. But after Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer, she was healed and came to have a daughter. Senior Deaconess Yunyoung Choi in Yamagata, Japan was too weak to have a baby but by Dr. Lee's prayer she came to have two sons and a daughter. Deaconess Kyunghye Jang gained her first daughter after 12 years of marriage through the prayer and guided her parents-in-law to the church through this. Deaconess Pawari Ingkong in Chiang Mai, Thailand delivered a healthy son after four years of marriage (photos 1 to 4).


A daughter to a son, a son into a daughter in the womb!



Brother Eucharia Izundu in New Jersey, USA received Dr. Lee's prayer on behalf of his brother. The couple wanted a son at the 9th month pregnancy though the hospital said it was a daughter. After Dr. Lee prayed for their desire, they had a son. Senior Deaconess Eunsuk Kim also wanted a son although she was told she was going to have a daughter, so she received the prayer and delivered a son. Deaconess Miyoung Chae in Seoul and Sister Sophie Atieng in Nairobi, Kenya wanted daughters at their fifth and ninth months of pregnancy respectively. They received the prayer and both delivered daughters (photos 1 to 4).


I was at high risk of having a baby with Down syndrome but delivered a healthy one by the prayer!



A normal person has 23 pairs of chromosomes but people with Down syndrome has trisomy 21. For them to become normal, the chromosomes in billions of cells would be made whole. Deaconess Minkyung Lee's fetus was suspected of Down syndrome and other genetic disorders because nuchal translucency testing showed 4.12mm at the 11th week of pregnancy. But after she received Dr. Lee's prayer, it became 2mm, which is normal. Pastor Suhee Yim at her fourth month, Deaconess Sungjin Yun at her fifth month, and Senior Deaconess Hyesuk Kim at her 16th week heard that chances were high that their babies had Down syndrome in Quad test, but they all delivered healthy children by Dr. Lee's prayer (photos 1 to 4).
