"What~? Really?"
My Husband Protected in an Accident
When my husband said this at first, I thought he was kidding because he had no visible injuries on any part of his body. The story goes like this. My husband commutes to work every day on his bicycle. And on that particular day he was running across the crosswalk when the light was green, but he was hit by a taxi. But he says that he didn't feel even a bit of pain when he fell.
He was taken to the hospital on an ambulance, where they examined him. But there was nothing wrong! Rather, my husband was trying to comfort the taxi driver and protect him from punishment. He didn't even demand for settlement money either.
I was so thankful to God for protecting my husband. On top of that, I was so happy that my husband thoughtfully considered others first. If he hadn't been changed by the word of God he would have definitely stayed in the hospital. Just several years ago, he persecuted me about my going to church, but he has now become a completely different man.
The Past Days
In 1992, I was touched by Manmin News and began attending the Daniel Prayer Meetings. Becoming filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer, I registered at Manmin Church by myself and started my life of faith. And though I had led a religious life before that, I wasn't quite sure about heaven and hell. But as I listened to the messages of Dr. Jaerock Lee, I was able to feel and touch the spiritual realm and my soul was like a fish that finally found water.
Becoming fully drenched in God's word, I strived only for heaven. And so I began to neglect things around me. I didn't care about my husband's complaints and I had no worries about my children. I tried to comfort myself with the hope of heaven and the love of the Lord that filled my heart. But the relationship with my husband only grew worse. And now looking back on these days, I know that I was very wrong. While praying for my family's salvation, God helped me realize this.
If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. (1 John 4:20)
I discovered that I didn't really love my husband from my heart, and I repented with tears. And then, once again, I began taking care of my family members whom I had neglected. I tried to understand my husband and tried hard to serve him. And to my husband's complaints, I began to reply with a big smile on my face, "Yes honey, I am sorry. I will be more careful next time."
God Healed My Son and Led My Husband
One day, while my second son Sang-kyu was playing with his ball, he fell and broke his toe. Sang-kyu had been a Manmin member since he was in my womb. My husband wanted to take him to the hospital. And although he always listens to his dad, this time he refused, saying "Dad I won't go to the hospital. If it's ok with you, I want to go to church and receive prayer from the Senior Pastor."
On the following Sunday, my husband took Sang-kyu to church. That day, Dr. Jaerock Lee was on an overseas business trip so he received prayer from Pastor Soo-yul Cho instead. But after his prayer, he ran up and down the stairs without any pain. After seeing this, my husband began attending Sunday morning services that very week.
Moles Disappeared Only by Shaking Hands.
"Mom! The mole is gone!" My daughter Hye-rim exclaimed, "Wow~ it just disappeared!" She pointed to the place where a mole on her hand used to be. Three years ago, Hye-rim began to develop about 30 moles on her feet, knee, and hands. All she did was shake hands with Dr. Jaerock Lee with a prayer request sticker labeled "Healing of moles", and one of the moles had vanished! As a teenage girl, the mole had been an emotional burden for her.
Through this experience, Hye-rim came to have faith, and once again received prayer from Dr. Jaerock Lee a week later. Soon after that, many of her moles disappeared, some of them just falling off here and there. And soon after, she became completely clean. From this experience, Hye-rim deeply felt the love of God, and she now worships God in spirit and in truth during the services. But surprisingly, my husband was rejoicing more than Hye-rim herself. He always felt heartbroken when he saw her daughter's hands. He was so overjoyed by her healing and his faith grew so much that he now fully keeps the Sabbath day holy and makes full tithes. And this is why, according to His justice, God protected him in the traffic accident that could have been fatal, leaving him perfectly unharmed.
I am just overjoyed because my prayer and wish that my entire family would attend church together has been answered. I am especially thankful for my supportive husband. Nowadays when I come back from Friday night service, my husband kindly says "Feel free to sleep dear, I will take care of the breakfast."
Looking back on the past I feel sorry for not serving my husband more. And now my husband seems to feel sorry for having persecuted me about going to church. I give all thanksgiving and glory to God, who led our family to the way of faith with such an amazing experience and His amazing love.
