Exodus 19:4 says that during the Exodus "God bore Israelites on eagle's wings and brought them to Himself." The Israelites always remembered the works of God's power and praised Him. As written in Psalm 136, for example, they remembered every step God took to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and they praised Him. This point in time is chronologically well after the Exodus from Egypt, and even 1,000 years later they still remembered His works in the distant past and sang praises of them to Him.
In His providence, God the Father founded this church and He Himself has led this church as well. If we just think of this year of 2013 alone, not to mention the entire past 31 years, we can feel the great love of God. For the past 10 months this year, God has presented the works of His power that were beyond man's imagination. I hope that you will fully glorify God the Father as we remember the works of His power that He manifested for us.


1. The greatest power to change the hearts of people

The fourth prayer title that God gave to us in 2013 is "Power". Year 2013's prayer title, "Power" is the power that can change even the freewill of a man. It is the power that motivates individual freewill and helps those who experience the power to be able to grasp the chance of salvation.
First of all, God the Father manifested this power that breaks man's freewill for pastors and Levite workers of the church. In the beginning of 2013, God was actually going to strike them with the 'sword of punishment.' It was because they were slow to change and they were building walls of sin although they were supposed to change into spirit ahead of other members.
The Bible has many records about the 'sword of God' being used as a tool of judgment. Isaiah 66:16 says, "For the LORD will execute judgment by fire and by His sword on all flesh, and those slain by the LORD will be many." And, Isaiah 27:1 says that God's sword is 'fierce and great and mighty,' and Ezekiel 21:9 says that His sword is 'sharpened and polished.'
As their shepherd I took this sword of punishment on their behalf. It was because someone has to pay the price for sin so that it is not against justice. God the Father then gave a three-month suspension period. Most pastors and Levite workers repented from the depth of their hearts, and began riding on the flow of change to become true pastors and true Levite workers. Consequently, God had me offer intercessory prayer on March 31, which was Easter Sunday. Pastors and Levite workers were able to cast off and turn from the sin which would otherwise have brought them punishment according to justice. Even layman members received strength to unload the burden of sin and start anew to make quick growths in faith.
As written, God the Father manifested His power to create a clean heart for His servants, Levite workers, and those members who longed for spirit. The greatest of His power lies in His power to change the hearts of man.


2. Experiencing of the spiritual realm through the separation of spirit

On March 31, during the Easter Sunday Evening Service, God told us about 'separation of spirit'. The following week, He listed those whose spirits would be separated from their body to see Heaven and Hell, and He also explained the detailed instructions. Then, during the 2nd half of May 25th Friday All Night Service, upon receiving my prayer, the spirits of eight people were separated on the spot and went to see various places in Heaven and Hell, and testified to their experiences. The Apostle Paul and Apostle John experienced it.



The first was the Apostle Paul who said in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man— whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows—was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak." Apostle Paul went to see Paradise in the 3rd kingdom of heaven through the separation of spirit.
Apostle John professed in Revelation 4:1, "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.'" At this moment, Apostle John's spirit was led to Heaven and saw the image of God who was sitting at His throne. In addition, he wrote what he saw in the spiritual realm and what would take place in the future, which is the 'Book of Revelation.'
As you can see, the separation of spirit can be accomplished in God's special work. By the way, God uses the method called 'separation of soul' to allow an un-sanctified person to see the spiritual realm. During the 'separation of soul' a man's spirit and soul are separated from the body; the body is only breathing but without consciousness. A man's spirit and soul being separated from the body is the phenomenon that takes place when a man dies. However, during the separation of soul, the body has to maintain life, and thus it needs God's special care. The separation of soul in this way is subject to risk factors.
However, the work that took place in this church in May 2013 caused only the spirit of those sanctified people to be separated from their body and visit the spiritual realm. Even though their spirits were separated from their bodies, their souls still remained with them so that they could sense things around them. At the same time, they see, hear, feel, and experience the spiritual realm through their separated spirit. That's why Apostle Paul said, "...whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows."
In this church, several people, all at once, experienced this separation of spirit that only a few forefathers of faith in the Bible experienced. That's why this separation of spirit was called a 'never-before-heard-of event' because it has not been witnessed since the creation of the world. It was only possible by the power that God the Father granted.
Through this event of separation of spirit, the members could be more assured that Heaven and Hell exist. And they made up their mind once again that they would never do what might drive them to Hell. Moreover, they could have greater hope for Heaven; in fact they came to know deep things of New Jerusalem, so that they could push themselves harder to accomplish spirit and whole spirit.


3. The 2013 Leadership Conference where many people of spirit came forth

And this enthusiasm of fullness continued to 2013 Leadership Conference in July. God the Father gave us a title, 'Whole Spirit' based on Hebrews 10:22 as the subject for the conference. The reason God the Father explained in detail the heart of whole spirit, which is the highest level of faith, was because the church members were ready to receive it.



Those who were changed through the 3 months' period of suspension experienced the work of separation of spirit, and increased their faith, hope, and love. There were many candidates for spirit and whole spirit. Between March 31 and until just after the conference, 30 more people came into spirit. If they mature at this pace, it will be possible for many more of them to come into whole spirit and enter New Jerusalem.
In the Bible and for the last 6,000 years of human cultivation, there have been quite a few who entered whole spirit. In this end time, however, so many people of whole spirit will emerge from this church at one time; the occasion will indeed be truly amazing! God the Father promised that countless people of spirit and of whole spirit will emerge so that spirit will be common in this church. How can it be possible? It is possible by the work of power that changes the freewill of man.
However, God does not simply change a man's freewill with His power by force. The Father creates an environment where the members themselves will be touched in their hearts and do their best to accomplish spirit.
By the way, until this environment was created, as the man leading the congregation of Manmin, I had to sacrifice myself to pay 90% of the spiritual price that the members were supposed to pay. Through the spiritual training that you couldn't imagine, I had to create the spiritual flow. Those who felt this sacrifice of the shepherd as 'love', made great effort to pay the remaining 10% so they could ride well on the spiritual flow and their faith could grow up very well.


4. The 2013 Manmin Summer Retreat where the explosive power unfolded

During the Summer Retreat in August, 2013, God the Father wanted to receive the aroma of heart of those who truly love and trust their shepherd as a blazingly strong and thick aroma. This Summer Retreat was like a gift set of assorted spiritual gifts that was filled with wonders and signs.
Let's talk about wonders first. A nation-wide heat wave warning was issued, but moderate temperatures were maintained where the retreat was held. On the first day, shortly after my speech began, large drops of heavy rain started falling. Then, I prayed to the Father God saying, "All the clouds that contain rain, go away! Father! Change them into cloudlessness. And work with stars. Be with us from the beginning till the end. Rain, stop! May the light come! In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray!"
And then the dark clouds, which reached a dozen kilometers in height, were divided as if a hole had developed in the middle. Soon, the rain stopped, and clean and clear sky appeared above. Some members could see shining stars, and some others saw moving stars. Moreover, a gentle breeze blew and dried the clothes which were just a little wet. God drove away insects and bugs so that the place was fine till the end.
On the second day, there were field games. God the Father worked for us with splendid weather, and sent cool breeze from time to time. At the same time, however, heavy rain fell in Seoul and its vicinity. On that single day alone, there were 1,008 lightning strikes recorded in Seoul. It was 22 times more than all the lightning strikes recorded in August 2012.
But God the Father held back the rain clouds while we enjoyed the field games. All the games were supposed to end by 2:30, but they were delayed by more than 30 minutes. So, I spoke to the church members like this when I gave them the closing comments. "This was supposed to end by 2:30, but it was delayed. Now, go back quickly, or you will get rained on." Then soon, heavy rain began falling. On the first day, there was a work of stopping rain, and on the second day, there was a work of holding back rain.



God the Father made me manifest wonders in a level that was different from the past so that it could become faith to you, and I experienced applying my spiritual training to reality. In addition to this, dragonflies appeared and aurora lights worked so that you could become full of grace and the Spirit.
During the healing prayer after the preaching on the first day, I prayed from the altar, and countless people received healing works. The campfire night turned into a scene of grace of inspiration while singing. They received grace to imprint the hope for New Jerusalem deep into their heart.


5. Power-and-strength-anointing prayer

In that week's Friday All Night Service, God the Father let me give anointing prayer of power and strength to the six people of whole spirit, and 67 people of spirit. As He caused them to come up to the altar, and allowed for me to anoint them in public, God helped the church members become full of a longing heart for spirit.
Matthew 10:1 says, "Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness." And His disciples went out and manifested the power to enlarge the kingdom of God. In the very same sense, along with those who were anointed, those who will soon come into spirit and whole spirit will be united as one with me and accomplish the world mission.
To help many of you do this, God the Father will continually create the spiritual flow, and to pay the price for the justice, I will continue the spiritual training. I eagerly hope that you will also ride on the spiritual flow and become the fruit of joy to the Father God.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, how much more amazingly will Father God work in the future for us? Indeed, I'm not the only one who does the job, but there are about 70 people who were anointed with strength and power. May you all participate in this providence of God to stand together on the glorious spot in the future, in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I pray!
