The Special Love and the Power Given during these Last 3 Years
On December 25, 2010 as Christmas Day was being celebrated, the God of love allowed for Manmin to have a blessed day. That day was the starting point for all Manmin members who had not been obeying the Word of God, to realize the sacrifice and love of the shepherd for them. Etching their hearts with the love of the Lord, the One who took the suffering of the cross on behalf of sinners, they made up their minds once again to become God's true children. Then, with college students as the front-runners, all church members began a spiritual revival campaign catch-phrased the 'New Jerusalem Campaign'. With trust in the shepherd's love and power, they renewed running the race with the shepherd toward New Jerusalem, the most beautiful dwelling place in Heaven. They were focused on recovering the first love, restoring the basics of faith, and recovering the image of God. In May 2011, the God of love started to show beautiful various shaped aurora-like lights so that people could feel the original light that emanates from the space of God (Ezekiel 1:27-28, Revelation 4:3). The members in particular could see and feel the spiritual world while taking photos of various-shaped aurora-like lights with their cell phones. At the same time, faith and hope for Heaven was increasing. Also, they came to ride on the rapid spiritual flow and moved forward toward sanctification in the fullness of the Spirit. In June 2011, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee conducted the Special Divine Healing Meeting three times. God allowed many people to gain better eyesight and to receive healing of various diseases. By showing such powerful works, the Father God gave greater faith to the members. In July 2011, God blessed Manmin to know the measure of their faith through the shepherd in the grand plan of God towards Manmin. The Leadership Seminar 2011 allowed for members to check the 9 attributes that hinder them from standing on the rock of faith. It caused the church's pastors and members to run ever more earnestly towards faith of spirit and whole spirit. In December 2011, Dr. Lee held a Mini Divine Healing Meeting after the Sunday Evening Service. He manifested his love as the shepherd to students, young adults, and all church members. Through this they made another resolution while deeply engraving the love of God, the Lord, and the shepherd. On Christmas Day, December 25, 2011, many young people came forth as people of spirit and whole spirit. Yearning for hearts of goodness from the depths of their hearts, the young people had voluntarily prepared their hearts for New Year's Service as never before, and God recognized them for it.
In March 2012, the church understood what it is like to rely on and trust God through the Blessing Festivity held by the church. In July 2012, at the Leadership Seminar the levels of spirit were broken down and specified which allowed the church members to have confidence and fervor to achieve the heart of spirit and whole spirit. During the 30th Anniversary Service of Church Opening, God proclaimed another leap, the work of total reversal, and the power of re-creation. In October 2012, God laid out the spiritual world in the church until the 30th Church Anniversary Service. God showed His great love by allowing for the demonstrations of the word of life, manifestations of the power of God, and expressing the beauty of Heaven in high-quality cultural arts performances. All these were to change the members into people of spirit who resemble God. In December 2012, Christmas Day was celebrated with deep emotion. During the New Year's Service 2013, the original voice was issued forth to compel the free will of the church members to turn so that the members could lead renewed Christian lives and receive answers and blessings.
In March 2013 pastors and Levite workers had been given a three-month grace period to resolve their problems of sins that needed to be paid in accordance with justice and through the intercession of the shepherd before Easter Sunday. Not only were the church members able to unload the burden of sins but they were also growing more quickly in their faith. In May, eight sanctified pastors and church workers underwent the separation of spirit through the prayer of the shepherd and their spirits went to see Hell, the Lower Grave, and each of the heavenly dwelling places respectively. Through the separation experience, people could vividly feel Heaven and Hell that Dr. Lee had preached about and they came to be assured of Heaven and Hell all the more. In addition, the hope for Heaven was increased and they got to know about New Jerusalem 'from the inside'. It indeed caused them to 'drive in their spurs' to achieve the heart of spirit and whole spirit. In July, at the Leadership Seminar 2013 God taught the church members the heart of whole spirit that is the highest level of Christian faith. Attendees increased their faith, hope, and love and many of them reached the level near the level of spirit and whole spirit. In August, a powerful work that no man could ever make happen was manifested at the Manmin Summer Retreat. It caused the members to have greater faith and many were healed of diseases and receive answers and blessings. They gave great glory to God. During the second half of a Friday All-night Service, men and women of spirit and whole spirit received the anointing prayer of strength and authoritative power respectively. The members became full of longing for the heart of spirit. In October 2013, the 31st Church Anniversary Celebration Performance filled the church members with the love of God and the Lord and increased their hope for New Jerusalem, the most beautiful heavenly dwelling place. Hearts were overflowing, and the fragrance of the church members' love and thanks for the shepherd was accepted by God. Christmas Day (December 25, 2013): Through numerous powerful works over the past three years that God has shown us, we have been able to feel that God is truly the Father. The shepherd's sacrifice and devotion to achieve this has been so very much. He put up with all our sins, believed we could change, and endured all things that had to be done to fulfill the justice. God also desired for us to become the fruit of faith, and it was with such great love that it is being achieved and we were able to celebrate this glorious Christmas Day, December 25, 2013.
