Throughout history, God raised up His men and women whom others could plainly see and distinguish as workers and messengers of the His power (Acts 3:22), to let His will be known, manifest His love and power, and testify to the fact that He is alive. After proclaiming the Word, Jesus manifested signs in order to affirm to all witnesses that His Words were those of God.
What, then, can we say of our time?
At a time when the hearts of people are drenched in sin and evil and have thus become hardened, God is showing the proofs through the works of the Holy Spirit in order to enable people to believe (John 4:48). In our generation, even Christians say that the miracles of Jesus' time are only events of the Biblical era. However, as God the Almighty is able to manifest His works in any shape or form, according to our own faith, He manifests wondrous and extraordinary works even when we scratch our heads and ask ourselves, "Is this possible?"

The secret to Highest-quality "red melons"? The Muan Sweet Water!
~ Deaconess Hye-Hyung Cho (8 District; 2-3 Women's Mission)
 ~ The melon on which the Muan Sweet Water was used (right)
My sister-in-law, a farmer in Buyeo County in South Chungcheong Province, attends another church but has been listening to the Senior Pastor's messages via GCN and on the Internet, and her heart has been replete with grace from his written works.
She began farming red melons (melons whose interior is crimson in color) and has signed a delivery contract with a department store but they failed to meet the department store's size standards and her crops were disqualified. She incurred a huge loss when she delivered the melons to ordinary small businesses.
I shared with her the testimonies of a Manmin member who had had a bountiful harvest of red peppers through the use of the Muan Sweet Water (Exodus 15:25) and planted faith and assurance in her heart.
My sister-in-law had always recognized God's power through the Word and later told me that she had begun using the Muan Sweet Water this year on the melons. However, as she did not have enough of the Sweet Water, she could use it only to the crops housed in 2 of the 5 buildings in which she cultivates the melons. Wondrously, the size and the taste of the melons cultivated with the Muan Sweet Water were of the highest quality but the other sets of melons on which the Sweet Water was not used were different in appearance and taste.
Time- and Space-transcending Works Manifested via GCN

2. Urinary stone
I run a plastic goods store in the Villivakkam region in Chennai, India. About 3 months ago, I began feeling a sharp pain whenever I urinated and underwent a urine test at a local hospital but the doctors were clueless as to the cause of the pain. I was constantly tormented by the sharp pain but without any particular and concrete solution, I was hopeless. My wife and I clung to God in prayer.
On Sunday, August 17, I was participating in the Morning Service via GCN and my stomach began to hurt tremendously. In the message that day, the Senior Pastor said, "Believers with faith work diligently for the 6 days of the week, close their shops and stores on the Lord's Day, and keep it holy." That's when it hit me and I immediately did as I had heard.
Following the message, when I received the Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick, the pain in the stomach disappeared and I was soon at peace. When I came home after the Service and urinated, a stone of about .6 centimeters (about .23 inches) in diameter fell out from within my body.
I learned that the cause of the pain had been this urinary stone and today, I am as healthy as ever.
Revival of Optic Nerves
~ Deaconess Kyung-Nam Hong (27 District; 3-4 Women's Mission)
I had been unable to see even the faintest traces of light with my right eye and on January 3rd, I underwent an examination at a local ophthalmologist's office. I was told following the exam that the optic nerves in the right eye had almost died and the retina had been detached. It was a case of retinal detachment and if it should get worse, the globe would shrink and, if left untreated, the optical canal would sink in and my face would look ghastly. I underwent an operation right away but my vision would shake, feel cold, and the constant blinking left me unable to keep my eyes open.
Then in March, through the handkerchief prayer (Acts 19:11-12) of Rev. Mi-Young Lee, the tremor in the eye stopped and I could begin making outlines of objects.
During the divine healing meeting held in the second part of the All-night Service on the last Friday of May, the Senior Pastor prayed from the pulpit and I saw the fire of the Holy Spirit emanating from his hands. Soon afterwards, my vision improved and I can now even read the small prints of the Bible.
Results of the right eye exam
1. Prior to receiving healing: unable to see light
2. After receiving healing: vision acuity improved to 20/20
Might of the Handkerchief in the U.S.
 ~ Rev. Powell Varko (Heights Russian Church)
I minister to Russian-Americans in Texas and Tennessee in the United States and would like to take this opportunity to testify to God's work manifested through the handkerchief on which Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee has prayed.
After being told that he would no longer be able to walk, Alexander Shumanian (22) spent 18 months in bed. When I told him about the handkerchief of God's power and prayed for him, he said he felt warmth in his warmth in his legs, stood up on his own, and began taking steps. His doctor said it was a miracle and that the nerves in Alexander's legs were being revived and marveled at God's healing.
Luthmila had been suffering from a tumor in the stomach. Two days prior to her scheduled operation, Luthmila came to me and received the handkerchief prayer. A full examination she underwent afterwards revealed that the tumor had disappeared and she had to cancel the operation.
The boyfriend of my church member Riew Ba was diagnosed with thyroid gland cancer and a tumor the size of a fist could easily be felt in his throat. After receiving the handkerchief prayer, the tumor was nowhere to be seen.
There are so many other testimonies of people who have received God's healing through handkerchief prayer.
