I Was Healed of Tuberculous Peritonitis and Pleurisy by the Powerful Prayer
Senior Deaconess Hyesuk Lee, age 54, Parish 13, South Korea
In September 2015, I had swelling in my abdomen although I tried to lose weight. People around me advised me to check it and I underwent a CT scan, which showed that fluid developed in my abdomen. I had hydrothorax. On October 27, I went through several medical examinations including an MRI. My CA-125 level was 660 (its high value is an indication that the woman should receive further diagnostic screening or treatment), and I had so much fluid buildup. The doctor suspected cancer. Although 3500cc of fluid was removed for further exams, it quickly re-developed again.

However, I did not worry because I had seen so many powerful works manifested in the church. I started to prepare myself to receive healing by faith. From November 23rd I began attending Manmin Prayer Center's Divine Healing Meeting. On the second day, I received President Boknim Lee's prayer of handkerchief (Acts 19:11-12). During the payer, I felt something come out from me through my lower body parts. That night I went to the restroom to urinate very often, which was strange to me. The following morning, almost all of fluid had come out. However, the CA-125 level had increased to 700.
With the disease yet unknown, twenty days had passed. From then ascites and hydrothorax developed quickly, and I even had trouble breathing and coughed a lot and could not eat well. It caused me to lose more than 15kg. My doctor tried all kinds of exams concerned with cancer and checked my ascites and hydrothorax, but he said he could not figure it out and he just called it 'the mystery disease'.
Meantime I tried to fulfill my God-given duties in church and prayed waiting for Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee to come to church from his mountain prayer. I also repented with tears that I had lacked the deeds of the truth although I knew the truth.
On December 27, I received Senior Pastor's prayer and on the 29th I went through the third exam. The CA-125 level dropped to 286! While I was waiting for the result of laparoscopy, there was no prescription for me. However, I regained my appetite so I could eat well, and I slept well. I recovered very quickly.
Fifteen days later, the result revealed that I had tuberculous peritonitis and pleurisy. But I was assured that I had been healed by God. I did not take any medicine. Three weeks later I received a regular exam and it showed that I was completely normal and since then I have had no abnormal symptoms. Hallelujah!

As My Soul Prospered, Even Fire Couldn't Harm Me
Brother Anton Beku, age 41, Kharkiv, Ukraine
In 2009, my wife and I were watching TBN Russia. We happened to listen to Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermon and received a lot of grace. We visited Manmin Central Church's website www.manmin.org and listened to many sermons, praises, and testimonies. We downloaded video clips, audio files, and transcripts and shared the grace with people around me. We attended the church's worship services interpreted in Russian through live-broadcasting on the website that provides eight-language translation service. We were happy to be given strength to live by the will of God. I received a lot of blessings in my business, so I came to run several shops in the big shopping center Barabashovo Mall and my tithe increased greatly.
On November 14, 2015, there was a big fire in the two buildings of the mall where my shops were. The fire spread so fast and the No. 2 building was almost all burned down and 150 shops in it were all burned. The violently flaming fire was spread even to the No. 1 building in which my shops were.
It was such an urgent moment, and I did not even have time to call the church in Seoul and ask for the prayer. I just prayed, saying, "Father God, protect my shops in the space of the shepherd." Then, an amazing thing took place. The flaming fire moving fast did not affect my shops and all my products on display were protected. Hallelujah!
I Was Protected in a Near Fatal Accident
Brother Yeongdeok Park, age 59, Parish 4, South Korea
In early morning on February 19 in 2016, I was driving a 2.5-ton cargo truck. As I dozed off behind the wheel, I could not see an 11-ton truck on the shoulder and my car slammed into the truck. I slammed into it at the speed at which I had been running. My car pushed the truck and caused its rear tires to be punctured.
At that moment, my past life flashed before my eyes. Although I had been a Christian and tried to stop smoking, I could not stop. I also gambled, and when I started to gamble on Saturday night, I often profaned the Lord's Day because I kept gambling until dawn on Sunday. So, I felt afraid of God.
However, God was still the Father of love even for such a person like me. The front part of my car was totally crushed like crumpled paper, and the steering wheel was bent, but only the driver's seat was okay. It was a miracle that I survived this accident.
I got out of my car with the help of the driver of the vehicle in front of my car. I was made speechless in amazement and thought about whether I was really alive. Then I heard the voice of the tow truck drivers in the distance. When they spotted my truck, they said, "Isn't the driver dead?" I finally realized that I was alive and I was able to survive it due to the power of Senior Pastor.
Since the accident happened, I have realized the great love of God and stopped gambling and smoking. I have not even thought about it and I could stop other worldly things easily. I have been renewed as God's child. I feel so happy and thankful. Hallelujah!

In the Desert, I Found an Oasis, the Treasure-like Word!
Deacon Junghyun Choi, Professor of College of Business, Kwangwoon University, age 59, Parish 23
I would set three conditions for the church that I would serve for the rest of my life. They are as follows: the church should have a pastor with the power of the Holy Spirit; there should be the Holy Spirit's teaching concerning sins, righteousness, and judgment; and the church should pray fervently. Unfortunately, for almost ten years I could not find such a church.
On May 2014, I was fasting to be guided to a true church. When I installed a TV application on my smart phone, I saw an icon of a familiar-looking pastor. It included sermon video clips of Dr. Jaerock Lee of Manmin Central Church.
He was delivering message about sins, righteousness, and judgment and explaining them in depth. What was even more amazing was that he categorized sins clearly and explained the spiritual meanings. He also told the congregation how to repent of sins, achieve the sanctification of heart and what evidences should follow receiving the power of the Holy Spirit.
Moreover, there were not just video clips but also the audio files and transcripts for the videos in orderly manner. Thousands of sermons were shared for all people and there were even around one hundred books authored by Dr. Lee.
Thinking of my ten-year experience, it was really amazing that there was a church that does not hide its sermons and confidently shares all of them with other people. I began wondering what kind of church Manmin was. What attracted me even more was that the church holds Daniel Prayer Meeting throughout the year almost with hardly missing any regular days of meeting.
I went to Manmin Central Church immediately and attended Daniel Prayer Meeting. I felt moved by the spiritual fervor in the members' prayer and the church's atmosphere. The sanctuary felt warm and bright. What I saw was more than I imagined and I was completely fascinated.
Afterwards, I visited Professor Sangyeol Park's office at the university because he was a member of the church. While talking to him, I heard about Friday All-night Service which was the service offered up from 11 P.M. on Friday until 4 A.M. on Saturday. It sounded like a real all-night service! I was really surprised and attended Friday All-night Service. I cannot forget the grace I received and the touching moments during the service.
When I listened to Senior Pastor's amazing and clear sermons, all my questions on the Bible and the world were all answered.
I gained spiritual knowledge to be able to see myself in the perspective of spirit, soul, and body based on the Word of God. I found my sinful natures deep in my heart. I learned how to act in God's righteousness and to fill my heart with spirit and live in His will. And I was given strength and grace to overcome the world.
"The Lectures on Genesis", "The Lectures on Revelation", "The Measure of Faith", "Spirit, Body, and Soul"…they are truly amazing heavenly treasures I have never heard of before. I cannot express my excitement just with words, and because of the grace given to me I am very happy.
I give all thanks and glory to the living God.
I Recovered from Trauma by the Word of God and Peace and Happiness Overflow!
Deaconess Eunsuk Kim, age 36, Parish 15
I was born to a family which performed ancestral rites and offered Buddhist prayer. I lived a life with nothing to do with God. My parents always argued with and hated each other like enemies. My father liked gambling and even had affairs with other women. My mother was also an alcoholic. Naturally I was spending my childhood with anxiety and pains. My father ended up committing suicide. Because I witnessed him doing it, it was continuous trauma for me.
In 2008, I got married and gave birth to my child but the deep scars in my heart were not healed. My past memories often troubled me and anger arose from my heart. I often thought that I had become unhappy all because of my parents although I myself was an exemplary child who would become the president of my class.
I frequently argued with my husband, and we were about to divorce several times. Then, I began looking back on my life. Above all, I did not want to pass my trauma down to my child. I read tens of books on psychology and received treatment for the trauma and medicine treatments. However, nothing fundamentally healed my heart. I thought, 'Is there really no way out there for me to escape from this kind of life? Isn't there anybody who cares about me?' I concluded that none but Deity or nothing but an absolutely perfect love could solve this problem of mine.
One day I wanted to go to church, and on July 28 in 2013, I was guided to Manmin Central Church by an acquaintance. I listened to Dr. Jaerock Lee's message. I was really amazed because I realized that what made me unhappy was not because of other people but because of evil in my heart.
And I found out the root and origin of my problem when he said that problems and trials keep coming to people who distance themselves from God and worship idols. Dr. Lee taught us that we should love God foremost of all, act in goodness toward evil people because we were forgiven of our sins through the Lord's love. We should not complain and grumble, accept blame for ourselves, and give thanks all the time. He also let me know we can achieve the heart of goodness through fervent prayer.
After listening to Dr. Lee's message, I started to pray right away and throw away all medication for depression.
One night I had a dream. A long white worm was on my forehead. I was surprised and tried to get rid of it. When it was removed, something came out from deep in my head and it gave out green light.
After the root of thoughts that had troubled me was removed in the dream, I felt refreshed. God healed me of depression through the power of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!
I am so happy, and my husband also accepted the Lord. He unceasingly prays and takes delight in working for God's kingdom. As such, he has received blessings in his business. I give all thanks and glory to God.
