How happy you would be when your child empathizes with you and shares sincere love with you! It is the same with God who is Light. He wants us to walk in the Light and share intimate fellowship with Him as His loving child. Those who walk in the Light can share lovely exchanges with God forever, so we need every effort to come forth as His true children who can understand His heart and share everlasting lo ...

Though I listened to the word of life and tried to change myself I couldn't cast off all the things that I loved. I still had worldly things on my mind even while I confessed, "I love You, my Lord." At last, I realized that the love of God and pleasure of the world cannot go together.
On November 23, 2008, my car was crossing the Whitestone Bridge on my way to church with my mother. Right after the car that was traveling ahead of my car suddenly changed lanes I saw a car pull over in front of my car. When I quickly stepped on the brake pedal it was already too late. I woke up after a while. My car was badly damaged. The windshield, the engine and the wheels were all severely broken and the hood fell off the car. The police and ambulance had already arrived there. The injured were being taken to the hospital, but my mother and I felt completely well even after the accident.

My father is a pastor ministering New York International Manmin Church. There had been many changes in my father's ministry after he came to know Dr. Jaerock Lee. I am a student at Maryland State University. Since I like music of various genres, I have many friends who like the same music as me. My parents wanted me to love God the most, but I didn't live within their expectations. Each week I went to New York for Sunday services and then went back to Maryland. The 5 hours of driving back to my dormitory exhausted me. I get pretty good grades in college but I like to enjoy my youth as well. I thought that was joy of life. My parents called me every Saturday night telling me to attend the service of Manmin Central Church on the Internet. I was annoyed because I liked hanging out with my friends on the weekend. I kept the Sabbath and went to the church on campus. But, it was a formality.
One day in 2008 my father suggested that I take some time off from college. I felt hopeless hearing him say that. I was forced to return to New York and had to attend Daniel Prayer Meetings, the Wednesday service, the Bible study and even visited members with my father. Every Saturday night I attended web-broadcast Sunday services from Korea through the Internet. I thought, "What kind of life this is?" I had fun things to do instead, like chatting on messenger and talking on the phone. My life seemed just miserable because I couldn't enjoy life like my friends. But a sudden change was coming over me. While listening to the messages about heaven, I thought I might not be able to go to heaven if I kept living like I had been living. I was afraid and repented by praying to God. My father recommended attending the handkerchief meetings held by Dr. Vitaliy Fishberg. So I led the praise at the meetings playing the guitar.
I experienced extraordinary things. I saw a rainbow that formed around the moon when we went out from the church after a Daniel prayer meeting. Other members in different places saw the same thing that we saw at that moment, and I was even more excited and surprised at the work of God when I heard the rainbow had formed in Seoul as well. At the handkerchief meeting held the last Sunday of every month, I repented shedding tears when the pastors prayed over me. "God, I repent of having loved worldly things too much, not obeying my parents, and not offering services in spirit and in truth." My worship and praise have become different since then. But I still had old habits which I thought were not bad. After I had this accident, I again repented looking back on myself.
3 years ago my father visited Manmin Central Church in Seoul for his inauguration ceremony as a missionary and received prayer from Senior Pastor on my picture. I was healed of my case of atrophic dermatitis that I had suffered from for 18 years. And again God rescued my life from this huge accident and let me realize his love. I give all the glory and thanks to God.
