How could the people, who had not had a minute of sleep, be filled with so much joy and delight as they welcomed the dawn? Amidst the fiery works of the Holy Spirit, no traits of fatigue could be found in the faces people giving their testimonies. It was the manifestation of God's Word, "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall" (Malachi 4:2). "The Special Divine Healing Meeting" that began at 11 p.m. on November 28 at Manmin Central Church was packed with such people. On the last Friday of every month, there are "divine healing meetings" during the second half of the Friday All-night Service but the November event was "special" as Dr. Jaerock Lee was going to lay his hand on each of the sick and pray for them.
In the first half of the Friday All-night Service, Dr. Lee proclaimed in a message titled "God the Healer" (Exodus 15:26) that "As most diseases stem from sin, we can be healed once we destroy the wall of sin standing in our way to God, repent, and come before Him by faith." To people who did not know what "sin" was, this message shone a ray of light on the hearts that have grown numb while battling the illness, and during a praise of repentance, sounds and tears of people rending their hearts in repentance could be heard throughout the Main Sanctuary. Soon, a sense of urgency was detected in their faces. Following the prayer to receive the Holy Spirit, the Senior Pastor began to pray for about 2,000 patients on the floor of the Sanctuary, and as soon as he began an innumerable number of people began to fill the lower stage of the altar. The following are only a few samples of their testimonies.
Sang-O Hong (male, 54), who had not been able to use his legs since the paralysis that struck him down 2 years ago, stood up from his wheelchair and began walking. Gi-Jung Han (female, 62) had been diagnosed with cancer in the duodenum but in fear of the cancer spreading to other parts of her body, she had been under drug treatments instead of undergoing an operation. She was led to Manmin after reading Dr. Lee's book "He Never Stops!" and after receiving the prayer, she testified that the lump had decreased in size. Deacon Joo-Myung Suh (67), suffering from spondylolysis, felt a severe pain whenever she stood up or walked up and down the stairs, but was healed after receiving the prayer. Deacon Il-Bong Park (65), declared first-degree visually impaired by the government, came to see 3 years ago by the Senior Pastor's prayer and this time around, Deacon Park saw a flash when Dr. Lee prayed, felt his surroundings brighten up, and could soon see even small letters clearly. Deaconess Choon-Sik Kim (66) was healed of Parkinson's disease from which she had been suffering for 10 years; Senior Deaconess Jung-Nim Lee (70) was healed of phlegmone; Rev. Goon-Pyo Hong (male, 49) was healed of fracture in his ankle; Bin Yoo (female, 5) was healed of sensitized dermatitis; and Deaconess Jae-Kyung Jeon (33) of Muan Manmin Church experienced the full restoration of her eyesight for the first time in 17 years and threw away her eyeglasses. Many other diseases were healed and God's healing works continue to this day.
After Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee finished praying, there was a thunderous applause from the church members who had witnessed the moving works of the Holy Spirit. Even if some people had attended the Meeting half in doubt, listening to testimonies would have sufficed to empower them with faith. What is the common thread among people who received God's works of healing of diseases and infirmities? Most of them had attended the 2-week divine healing meetings held at the Manmin Prayer Center and had prepared for this Meeting in prayer and fasting. Furthermore, they have made every effort to live by the Word, understand their sins, rend their heart in repentance, and displayed their faith with precious offerings. As the Bible tells us that "faith is the assurance of things hoped for" and "Faith was working with his works," God's healing of their diseases and answers to their prayers was a testament to the fact that God is alive.
In a coldhearted time in which no one dances or mourns to the tunes of the flue and to the singing of a dirge, and no on believes without seeing signs and wonders, God's power manifested through the healing and answers to prayers is God's earnest cry of love through which He tells us, "I am indeed alive."
"It was an opportunity of blessings at which I experienced God's power."
~ Gabriel Banza (Political and Foreign Relations Assistant to the President, DR Congo)
After a meeting with Rev. Peter Kim at Kinshasa Manmin Church, I have come to admire and love Manmin Central Church and Dr. Jaerock Lee. When I learned that there was going to be a "Special Divine Healing Meeting" taking place in Seoul, I thought that it would be an incomparable opportunity of blessings and flew to Korea amidst a busy schedule of running the country. Manmin Central Church is a very effectively organized congregation and the Divine Healing Meeting was conducted in a similar manner. When I witnessed firsthand the manifestations of God's power, which I had seen only on the TV screen, I was astonished and empowered by faith. I was amazed by the number of patients in attendance even though it was very late in the night and how so many people were waiting to testify to God's healing they had just received through Dr. Lee's prayer. I had been tormented by a severe migraine and the pain in my shoulders and ribs when breathing, both of which stemmed from rhinitis I had had for the past 10 years. However, they all disappeared completely following the prayer. When I return home, I am going to share with President Joseph Kabila the news of Manmin Central Church and Dr. Jaerock Lee. Just as Dr. Lee has prayed, I believe that the civil war in the DR Congo will end and peace will settle in my country. If I could be of assistance in any way to "The 2009 DR Congo Women's International Conference and Crusade" with Mrs. Boknim Lee (President, Manmin Prayer Center) scheduled to take place next year, I will do everything in my power and I am going to assist Kinshasa Manmin Church in whatever way I can.
