Baptize by Blazing Fire BOOK #5(Abridged)
by Pastor Yong-Doo Kim
* Recommendation Statement
Korea and the other countries around the world are the
modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. The bible records the
ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, two wicked cities
that were destroyed by the Lord for their vice and
sexual immorality. Out of the heavens came fire and
brimstone which brought destruction to the cities.
During World War II, Hiroshima, Japan was the Sodom and
Gomorrah.
Even in Jerusalem, where the temple of God was located,
where the Ark of the Covenant was located, and where God
was present Himself, came destruction for the city. For
the crimes of God’s people came destruction by the
gentile nation. Korea is not an exception. If Korea does
not change her present condition but instead continues
in its state, it will be difficult to avoid the coming
wrath of God. The wrath of God is war. North Korea is
currently a savage dictatorship. They have no human
rights or liberty, they are into the production and
selling of drugs, they produce counterfeit money, they
are considered to sponsor state terrorism, and are
attempting to develop nuclear weapons. They are now
considered a NWS or a nuclear weapon state. North Korea
has reached the point of being dangerous and insecure.
In these current times, the Lord had sent me back to the
United States once again. He disciplined me for the
second time. The news that I hear from Korea is that the
country is full of lewdness, debauchery, and corruption
in the government. These are the major problems for
Korea. The prophets from many different areas are
prophesying that if Korea does not repent, Korea will
face calamity. War will come upon her.
Fortunately, the prayers of true Christians have reached
the heavens. Instead of war, God had urged Korea to
repent, replacing war with IMF (financial crisis). God
said that war was originally for Korea but it was
transferred to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Some Christians in Korea say that they have repented,
but it is difficult to find true transformation. My mind
was not at peace. But after I had read the book,
‘Baptize by Blazing Fire,’ by Pastor Kim, Yong Do, I am
now in a state of relief. This book has the power to
change the believers into a state where the Lord
desires. This book has the power to influence Korean
Christians into repentance for true transformation. For
the last time, the Lord has confirmed that He is giving
one more chance for Korea. I hope and wish the people
who read this book do not criticize with their thoughts
of trivial theology or with their prejudice opinions.
Please do not criticize it by saying it is ‘Mysticism.’
The bible has documented the phenomenon of saints
experiencing and witnessing heaven and hell while they
were still alive, not dead (2 Corinthian 12:1-4). The
method to receive greater gifts from the Holy Spirit and
enter deeper spiritually is to sincerely repent and
discipline oneself by fasting, praying throughout the
night, praying hours in tongue, and desiring it
earnestly.
Please read these precious books and pass the books out
to other people. We wish for them to read and sincerely
repent so that repentance can spread throughout the
country. This is God’s last chance as it was given to
the great city of Nineveh. I hope lewdness, debauchery,
materialism, the corruption in government, and the love
of money dissipates so that our country and the
Christians can escape the calamity of war. I hope
Christians can be the Holy Spirit’s kindler.

* Introduction
At the Lord’s Church, we start daily night services at 9
PM. During the first service, we dance in the Holy
Spirit as we worship and praise for about an hour. We
then have intercessory prayer and pray for many
different needs and subjects. After that, the pastor
preaches and proclaims the message. All the above is
finished by 11:30 PM. We break for 30 minutes as we
fellowship and eat snacks. During the second service, we
perform deliverance and other ministerial duties such as
imparting Holy Fire for an hour. We then begin our
corporate and individual prayers. At times, people can
have the opportunity for a short individual counsel.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye
might have life through His name. (John 20:31)
With special attention and complete care, The Trinity
God has made it possible for books 1 to 4 to be already
published. Book 5 is now about to be published. This is
all by the Lord’s awesome grace. When one of the books
is published, the devil and his forces attack in waves,
it was beyond our imagination. Book 5 had been delayed
due to severe attacks. Since I am writing and disclosing
the identity of the devil and evil spirits, I had to pay
a price of severe spiritual warfare on a daily basis.
However, I was strengthened by many pastors, their
wives, and other believers. They were aware of the
battle I was experiencing, and were interceding on my
behalf and gave me messages of great encouragement. As a
result, book 5 is now published.
Jesus had previously said to me, “Pastor Kim, from now
and hereafter, you will encounter many trials and
challenging incidents. I especially advise you to take
good care of your physical health. You body is not
yours.” The Lord’s words were so touching and thankful.
I am so grateful to Him. Now, I have finally realized
what the words the Lord had given me really meant.
I still hear the voices of negative criticisms and
accusations from the other churches, and by fellow
ministers who do not understand the Fire Baptism
ministry. However, some of them have visited the Lord’s
Church and personally experienced the spiritual warfare
with demons. They then confirmed that this ministry is
ordained by Trinity God. This is the Lord’s ministry.
The baptism of fire ministry ascertains that Christians
must have victory over spiritual warfare. Spiritual
warfare is an unavoidable process. The Holy Spirit has
confirmed through experience.
In book 5, I have documented the amazing prayer
answered, the triumphant report of spiritual battles,
the testimony of experiencing the baptism by fire, and
the Lord’s prophecy of the problems we will face in the
ministry of fire baptism. The amazing prayer that has
been answered was our request to have our church move to
a larger building. We moved from an underground church,
below street level (711 square feet) to a ground level
building (9400 square feet). Also, a triumphant report
of spiritual warfare in the Middle East. Twenty five
members from our church went on a pilgrimage to the
Middle East countries to battle with each countries
specific principality.
This book confirms multiple times that the life of a
Christian is spiritual warfare with devil and his
demons. This book greatly awakens us. I give all the
glory to the Lord for assisting me in writing and
publishing the books. I am deeply grateful to the fellow
believers, ministers, and the publisher, Ye Cha Sa
editing crew.
Chapter 1: The ability to discern a gift
* The Lord provides the justification for having the
pastor experience hell on a daily basis
Our church provides all night prayer services throughout
the year with no holidays. To tell you the truth, I
can’t deny the fact that in human terms, it is a huge
responsibility for me as a leader and pastor. But the
Lord desires us to earnestly pray with joyful hearts.
With the exhortation of the Lord, some volunteering
spirits have come to our church to powerfully pray and
cry out.
But within the many believers that have and are visiting
our church from all over the country, there are evil
forces quietly living in them. The evil spirits are the
parasites and the relationship is a hidden symbiosis.
The believers are unaware and complacent to the
relationship. In our church, the evil spirits
automatically manifest themselves in front of the
powerful presence of the Holy Spirit. When this happens,
we have no choice but to cast them out. We immediate
perform deliverance. The evil spirits hate me and my
church members so much. As they are being cast out, they
loudly scream and gnash their teeth.
Whenever I go to hell, the evil forces immediately
gather around me to retaliate. They rip into my soul. My
beloved Lord permits the evil spirits to perform their
regimental torment on me. The number of demons and evil
spirits is so numerous it is beyond anyone’s
imagination. The evil spirits take out their anger on me
because I have been responsible for deliverances for the
believers throughout the country. “It is you! He has
come to hell. Kill him!! Pastor Kim is our problem. He
has been our headache!” They attack me in groups. My
pitiful soul is then tormented and ripped apart. They
tear, stab and smash my soul. At the same time, my
physical body is also in the same amount of pain and
torment. I would scream out loud, roll, and tumble on
the platform. I would be about half dead.
One time a believer visited our church to pray. As the
believer prayed, that particular person was able to
witness the unusual sight of me in torment. This
believer watched me with so much curiosity. This
believer later repented in tears and shouted, “Pastor, I
did not know! I had no idea that each one of your book
was written from an experience of such pain and torment.
I had once thought the price of the book was a bit too
much. Please forgive me! I really did not know!”
A pastor once visited our church. He was from the United
States and his name was Choi, Eun Kyu. When I was in
hell being tormented, Pastor Choi reached with his hand
to help me. He felt sorry for me as he watched me in
agony. As soon as he touched me, he was sucked into
hell. He had personally experienced the enormous
physical pain of hell.
Our church members experience the torment of hell
numerous times as well, especially when they touch or
come near me. Therefore, when I am deep in my prayer,
they do not come near me anymore. One time, I excused
myself to go to the men’s room at about 1 AM. I did not
want to go to hell again and I thought going to the
bathroom might change that. In fact, I would rather died
than continue to experience hell. But the Lord said,
“Pastor Kim, hurry! It’s time to go to hell!” Instantly,
I fell on the spot I was standing and began tumbling
around as I screamed. A deaconess from our church felt
pity on me and she tried to help me by holding on to me
and she attempted to give me comforting words. But as
soon as she touched me, she fell to the ground and went
to hell. After that day, the deaconess now frequently
visits hell herself.
Jesus explained in regards to that matter. “There are
too my pastoral leaders and believers that believe
incorrectly with so many areas of the bible. Therefore,
you must directly experience and witness. You then have
to clearly inform them the realities of heaven and hell.
This is your appointed task. Pastor Kim, You have a set
amount of time to experience hell daily.”
As I listened to the Lord, I said, “Amen.” I then
doubted and questioned myself. “What? What kind of
mission am I on? Is it not enough to believe in the Word
of God to enter heaven?” I sometimes question myself.
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God
would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all
the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith
with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may
be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the
grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. (2
Thessalonians 1:11-12)
* The promise of double power
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the
whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of
them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast
done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt
have wars. (2 Chronicle 16:9)
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by
Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.
Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
There are other ministers in other countries who have
visited heaven and hell. They have visited the spiritual
realm for only a few hours and they are able to travel
around their country to witness and minister. What I am
experiencing is incomparable. I am not sure how long I
will have to continue to visit hell. It is the Lord’s
plan and will and I am not able to comprehend it. In
most cases, I am only able to eat one meal a day. It has
become normal for me. This is due to the suffering and
after effects of visiting hell. I am concerned about my
heath and wonder if I will be able to get back to my
normal routine. With that thought, I am sometimes barely
able to eat two meals a day. I am a natural athletic
person. I love to play sports such as badminton and
others games. Therefore, the Lord has left my body in
such pain to the point where I am not even able to walk
properly. If I was able to recover and be back to 100%,
I may give my attention elsewhere such as sports. The
Lord has prevented my life from being used for my
personal matter. In addition, my wife is now frequently
visiting hell. Although my wife is not severely
tormented as I am, we are still visiting hell at about
the same time. As a result, we are not able to take good
care or look out for each other as before.
Nevertheless, it is by the grace of the Lord that I have
inherited a healthy body from my earthly parents. I was
born in good health. As a result, I can bear and endure
well. I am always grateful to the Lord. Trinity God
always tells me the same thing. “Pastor Kim, each time
you visit hell, you will receive double the power.
Therefore, do not complain but endure until the end!
Understand?”
I would ask the Lord the same question, “Lord! Please
can you not just leave me in peace?” Jesus would then
answer me, “Pastor Kim! Do not speak words that are not
necessary. Quickly, let us go to hell. You must tell the
people about hell. You have been appointed the task to
disclose the identities of the devil and his evil
forces. Moreover, each time you visit hell, you will be
granted double the power. The power will multiply and
continue to add up! Why would you not want to be granted
the power?” As the Lord spoke, He was caressing my back
and head. I would then force myself to obey. “No, I want
to be granted as much power as possible!” I would
usually chat affectionately with the Lord but the side
effects of experiencing hell has exhausted and worn out
my body. I would therefore throw a temper tantrum
instead. But my beloved Lord listens and kindly
understands. Therefore, I am very grateful to the Lord.
There are also brothers and sisters who assist me. They
stand by my side whenever I pray so when I fall to the
floor they are able to catch me or prevent me from
falling. Deaconess Lee, Hoon Sang, Brother Min Suh,
Brother Yoon Jung, Brother Hyuk Hwan, and others are my
daily support.
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath
to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love
dwelleth in God, and God in him” (1 John 4:16)
* Falling away soldiers
Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust,
avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of
science falsely so called: Which some professing have
erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. (1
Timothy 6:20-21)
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: For Demas hath
forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is
departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus
unto Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and
bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the
ministry. (2 Timothy 4:9-11)
Occasionally, some people would make comments such as
this, “A church can become dangerous or a threat if it
prays excessively and is engaged in spiritual warfare.
The character of that church will become rough and
hardened. They will irritate the devil which will
inflict problems and trials. If the spiritual battles
with the evil force has to be fought daily, when will it
ever end?”
However, it is definitely the Lord who has placed me in
the ministry of the Holy Spirit. I was led into the Fire
Ministry by the powerful guidance of Jesus. At first, I
thought my ministry would be welcomed by many people.
However, I thought wrong. Many people who are also in
similar ministries (Holy Spirit with gifts) would
unanimously criticize me with one voice. They even
accuse and reproach each other.
As I observed my fellow ministers that are in the same
kind of ministry as I am, I noticed them bragging how
their ministry is the greatest, balanced, or most
unique. I was very disappointed. As I thought about
this, I realized that I could commit these sins and
possibly fall and become arrogant.
Many people desire spiritual gifts or experiences. They
long and seek the gift of tongues, prophecy, seeing
through, visions, awakening of the spiritual eyes, and
etc. As people experience various kinds of gift, they
began to think that their spiritual gift or experience
is considered second to none. But based on my experience
in the spiritual realm, what they are experiencing is no
more than a grain of sand among countless grains of sand
available. If they are able to experience other
spiritual gifts or experiences, it is as if they have
been granted another grain of sand. Moreover, this
single grain of sand can be divided into hundreds of
millions of grains. This can be repeated, for example,
as a single cell dividing and continuing to divide into
millions. Receiving gifts or spiritual experiences is
similar principal. As the believer continues to
experience, they are able to obtain another grain among
millions.
Therefore, it is impossible for us to completely
imagine, know, and discuss the spiritual realm per se.
This is an issue in which people are not able to say, “I
am expert in this field.” Despite all of this, there are
many ministers who lead their churches as if they
possess some kind of mysterious power. They also boast
that in these last days, their church is the right or
correct church to attend. They further say that their
church is the true church that the Lord has hidden and
that they are the true servants of God. They believe
that their church is the most balanced church. But in
reality, and in most cases, they are one sided. This is
their opinion and their own point of view.
The gifts that are granted to each believer are all
different. The Lord recognizes the characteristics of
the different churches in Korea and the differences in
believers. The Lord is not in any hurry to change or fix
us. Instead, He will bring out and utilize the merit or
good in our lives. With that said, the Lord will
complement or supplement our short coming or deficiency.
Contrary to what the Lord does, we as people attempt to
accustom our children and other believers to our ways or
our taste. In other words, we want them to conform to
our ways. This is why many problems and side effects
frequently occur.
Truly, God has led us to the variety of the Holy Spirit
ministry as He worked with us. Among all the events we
have experienced, the battles with the invisible evil
spirits were above our comprehension, thoughts, or
feelings. It was beyond our imagination. In the midst of
our difficult battles, the Lord’s great comfort and the
precious fellow ministers were my strength.
All the churches are perhaps in the same situation. But
the Lord’s Church seems to be a spiritual battlefield in
which we can never let our guard down. The laborers who
were to be used greatly by God began to gather at the
Lord’s Church. They began to come one by one. Among the
laborers were pastoral leaders and many lay believers.
However, they began to operate in the flesh. They became
excessively competitive, jealous, selfish, and wanted to
be greater than the other beside other things. As a
result, such people were seized with personal thoughts
and emotions which created division. Within time, they
all left the Lord’s Church.
God had great plans for these soldiers. There were
visions laid out for them. Then I observed the soldiers
fall away as they operated in the flesh. I was very hurt
by what I saw. I became lethargic. I encouraged and
fought with them side by side. Nevertheless, I comforted
myself knowing that in any war, there are soldiers who
fall away or go AWOL (desert). They had left for the
sake of comfort and where no spiritual battles can be
found. However, we have to realize that there is no such
a safe place. There are none. This is a fact. There are
many traps endlessly placed to bring down the
utilization of God’s soldiers. I was very distressed as
I watched God’s soldiers trapped and slipping away.
Therefore, I made many pleas to the Lord.
After experiencing these incidents of God’s soldiers
falling away, our Lord who is full of love sent many
more great soldiers. The new soldiers of God are strong,
bold, and genuine. As we witnessed the replacement of
the fallen away soldiers, we are amazed of the new army.
They are prepared and ready.
As we look around, we can see that there are many people
that were once used greatly by God. There are also many
spiritual people with hopeful futures. However, some of
them, instead of walking and maintaining in God’s grace
and blessing have become spiritual failures. As I
witness and observe these situations, the church members
and I gather ourselves and do not get into complacency.
The Lord said that we should not hate them but embrace
and pray a blessing over them. We are to wait for them
to come back.
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor
of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By
honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as
deceivers, and yet true; (2 Corinthians 6:7-8)
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself
with the affairs of this life; that he may please him
who hath chosen him to be a soldier. (2 Timothy 2:3-4)
The Lord truly grants us stronger faith as the days
pass. It is God who answers according to our faith and
requests. God has granted us so many possibilities.
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things
are possible to him that believeth. (Mark 9:23)
There are a variety of power and gifts manifested
through people. However, there is one important thing
that we should not forget. The power or gift does not
guarantee the stage or level of faith a person
possesses. It does not matter with their character or
personality as well. I am amazed and shocked with the
people’s overconfidence and arrogance of their gift and
power. It is God who sometimes allows people do perform
the impossibility. We must not forget the fact that the
hidden power is definitely of God. We need to self
sacrifice ourselves as the little boy who gave the two
fishes and five loaves away. The sacrifice or devotion
of the least ones will bear much more fruit.
Within the Lord’s Church are many least ones who serve
the church faithfully. They are the invisible who are
poor or in difficult conditions who still serve. The
Lord said that many souls will be changed through these
people. Many believers who come to the Lord’s Church are
weary and toiled. However, in the future, they will be
stronger and more powerful than others. I give all the
glory to God who has led us up to this point. I would
like to share this grace with the toiled souls and with
the selfless members of the Lord’s Church. I hope I can
share this grace for a long time. Hallelujah!
* The worship that God is pleased with
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and
now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
(John 4:22-24)
All the worship in the Korean churches given to God is
monotonous. It does not matter whether the church is a
small one or a mega church. They progress their services
according to a written bulletin which is sequential. I
am not able to find any signs of transformation on their
form of worship and service. Some churches state that
they have open service/worship but their Sunday noon
service illustrates the same format. Many Christians who
visits our church ask the same type of question,
“Pastor, what is the format of Sunday noon service at
the Lord’s Church?”
I have been in ministry for 17 years as a Presbyterian
pastor. For the first 13 years, our church was no
particularly different than any other common church. My
worship and service was ordinary and common as well.
Once I experienced the personal encounter with Jesus,
the traditional basic formality of worship and service
went completely down the drain.
This is my two cents. If we were able to give at least
proper worship and service to God, I believe the
smallest to the largest problems can always be
definitely resolved. When I personally encountered Jesus
for the first time, many definite changes had occurred
with me. The changes in me progressed and it affected
the matters and issues of my ministry. My ministry was
changing at the core.
Jesus is very unrestricted. He has and continues to lead
us. He has made sure that we are no longer in bondage or
under any restraint from the things that we had
considered important or tied throughout our life. The
Lord is also very unconventional. Many people desire the
power of the Holy Spirit and all see the greater power.
But the Lord had said that there are many areas and
things in our lives that we must lay down. He sometimes
utilizes the elements of our personality but He would
rather have us lay down more of our thoughts and will
including our theology and plans (plans we think is of
the Lord’s but is really ours).
The Lord has told me many stories of different services
& worship around the world. Jesus has spoken to me about
these matters that are difficult for me to answer. He
has also spoken to me about many other matters that have
distressed me and require me to reserve judgment. One
time, Jesus asked me, “My beloved Pastor Kim, is the
formality of worship and service important or is the
feelings and the emotions of the person receiving the
worship more important?” I could not answer right away
but hesitated. I do not have to repeat the answer since
all of us already know the importance of the worship and
service. The Lord then explained it to me since I was
hesitating for quite some time.
“The procedure and formality of the service may be
important but it is more important for you to give
service that I will receive pleasingly. I desire all
believers worship and service to participate with joy.
Worshipping and service in joy pleases Me. Pastor Kim,
as you lead the service, you should dance in the Spirit
with the congregation. While dancing, lead the service
joyously and enjoyable with thanksgiving. Praise and
Joy! Father, Holy Spirit, and I will only receive this
type of worship and service and we participate also.”
Presently some churches in Korea hold many services that
are passive and mechanical. There is a service in which
some people seek to hear high quality preaching. There
is another where the service is only singing and
praising. But true worship is when all souls participate
together in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. True
worship is not a leader with a silvery voice who can be
eloquent as a news anchor. True worship is not a single
singer who sings and leads the worship and praise. I can
not get rid of the feeling that only a small number of
people are the true participators in worship and
service.
One day, a believer from an outside church visited our
church and shared the contents of a message from the
Lord. The message was a diagnosis of the believer’s
church. She was attending a church that had more than a
thousand members. She introduced her church first by
stating that it lacked in neither structure nor
administration. She further said that she had been so
proud of the senior pastor. She thought the sermon of
the senior pastor had no fault or blemishes in any way.
But one day, the Lord suddenly appeared to her in the
middle of service and asked, “Is this pastor preaching
about Me or insisting his own doctrine? What is he
talking about?” She said she shivered in fear.
Presently, the churches in Korea are moving forward with
no lack in formality. The churches in Korea are filled
with people who lack nothing. They think they are
hearing sermons without lack or blemishes, their
administration systems are perfect, and the interior of
their buildings look very opulent. These types of
churches are gradually increasing. If these are the
types of Laodicea churches, I am really wondering what
the Lord would like to say.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I
would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art
lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit thee out
of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and
knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and
poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and
white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the
shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine
eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (Revelation
3:15-18)
During the end times, the Laodicea church will be the
last church before the end of the ages. The church which
lacks nothing but thinks it is perfect in all human ways
will be seen a shabby church by the Lord. This shabby
church is self satisfied and self deluded with self
thoughts and ideas. The people of this type of church
are ones that would enjoy valuating church statistics
which are written on the weekly bulletin. For example,
they look at the dollar amount of offering coming in,
the number of attendance, and they are very proud of
their majestic buildings and pews. The church of
Laodicea is in a state of condition that is far from the
Lord’s standard. Their shame is exposed through their
nakedness.
When people have quality merchandise and products, they
like to display it at gift shops. Our faith is called to
be the same. Although their faith is not genuine, they
imitate it as though they have faith. This is a major
problem throughout our churches. Faith is emphasized but
not taken seriously. Some people indulge themselves with
their duties in the church, their careers, and or other
functions. You do not know how many of these lukewarms
are out there. But the Lord exposed the essence of the
problem so that we may fix our hypocrisy. He will scold
us as necessary. Is it not possible for the Lord to fix
our secret sin?
Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself
before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt
offerings, with calves of a year old? Will the LORD be
pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of
rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my
transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my
soul? He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what
doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? (Micah
6:6-8)
All the members of the Lord’s Church including myself
began to change everything. We changed structure,
attitudes, in fact, everything. From the smallest
thoughts to the smallest habits, all areas in the church
that have been achieved or planned were changed. We had
decided to move forward to the desires of the Lord. We
put aside the formality of the church service and
focused on the work of the Holy Spirit. We had
completely opened ourselves to the work of the Holy
Spirit. While we were changing, the people around us
began to give us looks of disapproval and judgment
toward our church. Friends, members, to our closest
siblings, and relatives made various comments. However,
our church never really broke the existing order.
Instead we had become more biblical. The Lord had also
manifested and aggressively intervened. As a result, the
church members began to experience more freedom and
power. Many pastors and lay believers participated with
our ministry.
We would not have been able to accommodate our actions
if it wasn’t the kind of faith that the Lord desired of
us. What is this kind of faith? This type of faith is
putting all your trust in the Lord. As we left all the
matters to God, we devoted all of ourselves to Him. As a
result, He worked exceptionally more for us. During
church time, we worshipped and had service as though we
were in revival. The Holy Spirit worked powerfully. We
danced in the Spirit and sang. Continuing to worship, we
sang a medley of hymns. During these days, we are
progressing with the Holy Dance. Many varieties of the
Holy Dance are manifesting. The Holy Dance has
progressed through kindergarten, elementary school,
middle school, high school students, youth, and men’s
mission teams and to women’s mission teams.
Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone
is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of
all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people
near unto him. Praise ye the LORD. (Psalms 148:12-14)
Many other congregations in other churches do desire to
dance during worship and praise. But most of the
churches put a stop to them stating that Holiness and
church order are important and so forth. Some believers
observe the Holy hand and dance movements as the work of
evil spirits. On the other hand, they just stare and
judge the spirit filled person as weird. They ask for
power and with their lip service desire the Lord but in
reality they deny and reject the work of the Holy
Spirit. It is an irony.
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw
near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour
me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their
fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: (Isaiah
29:13)
At our church, we dance in the Spirit during our Sunday
noon service. We then pray together in unison for about
30 minutes rather than have one person do all the
praying. The pastor (I) will then preach and proclaim a
powerful message. After the message, we take offering.
Lastly, we finish with the prayer of blessing. During
the peak or ascension of worship and praise, Jesus and
the Holy Spirit dances. Father God sometimes would get
up and down from His throne. He would stomp His feet.
Father God is very pleased and satisfied with the
worship and praise that is ascended to Him.
We do not place worship and service into a category. In
Korea, we have types or category of worship. Some are
quiet, some are loud, and some are open, and so on. We
must keep in mind that sincere worship in faith with a
grateful and joyful heart is required in order to be
presented to God. It must be presented according to the
will of the Holy Spirit.
* Jesus or Calvin?
Within the Presbyterian denomination, no one is allowed
to rebut, oppose, or speak negatively on the thoughts
and doctrine of Martin Luther or Jean Calvin. After the
Christian reformation and up to now, the Presbyterian
Church has achieved continuous growth through the
traditions of Calvinism. It has become an impregnable
fortress. I was a previous Presbyterian pastor and a
follower of Calvinism. I was indoctrinated and had
become accustomed to the formality, traditions,
theology, and theory of the Presbyterian Church. Now, I
earnestly desire to possess many spiritual gifts and
power. On the other hand, I had always been greatly
proud of Calvinism. This may not change for many years.
The Lord demanded more changes of me. The Lord had
already known that breaking doctrine of Calvinism from
my conventional consciousness would be difficult for me.
Therefore, the Lord began to speak about various
subjects. For several days, the Lord continued to
challenge, question, and suggest things to me. However,
I became very confused. I shouted for change and real
reformation. But my voice and attitude was in reality
platitude. I was not able to reform. I really did not
want reform. And my obstinate tenacity was being
exposed. The Lord asked me, “Pastor Kim! You said you
will do everything according to My desire. With your own
mouth, you said you will lay down everything. Why have
you not laid down everything? You like Calvin better? Or
do you like Me better? If I was to ask you to choose,
which would you choose?”
For a long time I stood in hesitation. I then asked a
trivial question to Jesus. “Lord, You are the first and
most, above everything! However, from my point of view,
Luther and Calvin are most biblical. They are
responsible for commencing the protestant reformation.
They risked their lives. They democratically established
and expanded the system of theology, the order and
system of the church, right?” The Lord replied,
“Therefore, you are saying that you like Calvin and
Luther more than I?” I graciously bowed and said, “No, I
like you more. You are the best!”
The Lord wants us to put down the conventional
understanding. Including our conventional thoughts,
decisions, and traditions. Currently, pastors are
attempting to change their congregation according to
their theology. However, the Lord desires the pastors to
recognize who they are and to help and bring out their
strengths. With their strengths, they can serve the Lord
well.
The reality of heaven is built upon variety and
differences. It is not mundane or uniform. This applies
to the church as well. The Lord expects and desires the
church to recognize the different characters and
personalities. He desires the people of the church to
utilize their special talents but at the same time
desires harmony and balance. For example, when we
observe our neighbor’s home, the exterior of the houses
may look similar but the inside or atmosphere of the
home of each household is different. Some households may
be ruled by a patriarchal ridged father who operates in
strictness with his family. Mistakes are not allowed. As
a result, the members of the family are suffocated and a
presence of restriction operates the household. If the
family members do not obey or listen, the father may
rebuke mercilessly. The family is treated as though a
dash of cold freezing water is always present. No one is
able to breathe freely. The household feels diffident.
Some households have no enthusiasm. It is boring. They
are stained with sorrow and despair. That household
suffocates its members as well. There are other
households in which arguments reign. There are physical
fights, invisible walls are built on their neighbors,
jealousy and envy is the norm between the household and
neighbors. In some cases, households result to physical
fist fights.
On the flip side, some households have continual peace,
joy, pleasantness, and an overflow of gratification.
Moreover, all the family members do not alienate each
other. There is an overflow of comfort and love.
Nevertheless, there are many more households of
different nature. God’s church is the same.
The Lord discussed the worship and services of the
church. As He spoke, He said that the atmosphere of the
church is very important. The Lord desires us to
especially embrace one another with love so that we may
cover up our faults and mistakes. The Lord further
desires the service to be filled with the Holy Spirit
and to have the service enjoyable and in harmony. The
Lord is really displeased when a person judges during
the middle of service. Especially, when they rebuke and
condemn what is operating during the service. Since I am
an impatient person, I was reproached several times by
the Lord for my deficiencies in that area.
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto
me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of
rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in
the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. When
ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at
your hand, to tread my courts? Bring no more vain
oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new
moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot
away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your
new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they
are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when
ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from
you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear:
your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean;
put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;
cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment,
relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for
the widow. (Isaiah 1:11-17)
* Meeting Pastor Steve Thomson
On December 19, 2006, God set up an unexpected meeting
with Pastor Steve Thomson. Pastor Thomson is a well
known international prophet. At that time, I had never
heard of him. There was no way I could have known who he
was. A Korean book publisher known for its propensity of
translating spiritual foreign books is Soon Jun Han Na
Dew publisher. The director of this publishing company
is a pastor. Pastor Kim, Kwang Sung from the church of
‘Our Church’ in the city of Gun San and the director,
Pastor Lee, Geh Jung led me to Pastor Steve Thomson.
Pastor Thomson was holding a prophetic revival meeting
at the church of ‘Seoul City.’ Pastor Thomson, his team,
and I met to have lunch.
Pastor Steve Thomson is a prophet and a pastor. He is a
global prophet. He is serving for the church of Senior
Pastor Rick Joyner. Pastor Rick Joyner established
Morning Star Publishing Ministries which is located in
the state of North Carolina in the town of Shallotte,
USA. From my point of view, it appears that Pastor
Thomson is being used immensely on an international
level in the area of prophetic ministry. It appears that
many acknowledge him. Some Korean churches have also
invited him as a guest for prophetic revival. The fact
that a no name pastor like me is meeting a global
prophet is by the amazing grace of God. Pastor Steve
Thomson looked very young, almost a youth pastor.
Altogether, it was about ten people who had lunch.
During the middle of the conversation, Pastor Thomson
pointed out to me and gestured with his hand. His face
lit up with a big smile as he wagged his face from side
to side. Suddenly, he began prophesying over me. “Oh,
God commands me to speak to Pastor Kim!” He accurately
stated they type of ministry I was currently operating
and the type of worship and service I was leading. He
prophesied the past, present condition of my situation,
and even future. “In Korea, many churches are large and
overgrown. On the outside, they worship and have service
that appears holy and reverential. However, on the
inside, it is void, there is no life! God does not
desire this type of accustomed service. God’s perception
of what is an acceptable holy and reverential service is
not what generally people perceive it to be. But now,
the way you worship and service is enjoyable and alive.
Your current way of worship and service is with life, it
is alive. It is holy and reverential which is pleasing
and received by God. By the way, how are you able to
make God laugh so much? How are you able to be so
humorous? You are very funny. God is very pleased and
happy!” I was very surprised with what Pastor Thomson
was stating. He continued, “Pastor Kim, God is granting
Holy Fire, in its most powerful form. This fire always
blazes vigorously and you will lead many people!” Pastor
Thomson then prophesied over my wife. “Sister Kang, Hyun
Ja, you and your husband are leading and operating
ministry as a team. It is God who has set it this way.
You are passionately and powerfully dancing the Holy
dance. You and Pastor Kim have especially been granted a
powerful spiritual discernment gift through the Holy
Fire. The ability to discern is prominent. For example,
if you are not sure of anything, you ask your wife and
then the question or issue is clearly resolved!”
As we listened, our party including my wife and me all
laughed out loud stating that Pastor Thomson was right
on the marker. Indeed, it is a very natural thing that
Pastor Thomson is accurately discerning. We are all
believers of the same God and we all have the same Holy
Spirit within us.
At first, I thought to myself, ‘well, let us wait and
see what happens.’ I then thought that I was being a bit
prideful with my thinking. Meeting Pastor Thomson and
his team on that day was very special and beneficial.
The meeting provided an opportunity to confirm the
ministry of one another. It was very meaningful. After
we exchanged our books, we took group pictures to
remember one another. We then parted.
* No one can repent for their ancestor’s sin
There is some logic that states that when an unbeliever
dies, he/she becomes a departed soul or ghost. When
Christians make such statements, they demean
Christianity to the same low level as fortunetellers and
sorcerers who are demonized with evil spirits. Perhaps,
some deliverance ministers are responsible for such kind
of logic. Sometimes, when evil spirits depart, they can
lie by making such claims as, “I am your such and such
ancestor.” Perhaps, the evil spirit might say they are
their grandfather or grandmother. Some deliverance
ministers may believe what they are saying. The evil
spirits and their forces are constant liars. They
attempt to falsely identify themselves and cause
confusion. They package the lie with false information
and sell it as truth. How can they possibly believe
everything the evil spirits say? The deliverance people
should not have an excuse to be misled or be led astray.
Among some people, the concept of being tormented by the
sins of their ancestors becomes a ridged orthodoxy. Many
people firmly believe and accept this view point.
However, there are many variables and we must remind
ourselves that God is in control of everything and this
is a fact.
God sent Jesus into the world to make Him a sacrificial
atonement for our sins. Jesus became our reconciliation
sacrifice. It is impossible for descendants to determine
and pay for all the sins of their ancestors. This should
not be happening. Even though within a person’s life or
issues, when something goes wrong such as finances, we
cannot assume they are hindered by the sins of their
ancestors. Furthermore, breaking generational curses is
ridiculous. Their problems are problems in their faith.
The problems one may face are not a matter to repent on
behalf of their ancestors. It is possible that the evil
spirits operate within all households regardless. Is
there not a single place where the forces of evil
spirits do not operate?
For then must he often have suffered since the
foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the
world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself. (Hebrews 9:26)
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost
that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
intercession for them. Who needeth not daily, as those
high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own
sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once,
when he offered up himself. (Hebrews 7:25, 27)
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
unto them that look for him shall he appear the second
time without sin unto salvation. (Hebrews 9:28)
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for
ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1
John 2:2)
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion of stumbling in him. (1 John
2:10)
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of
the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful
and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done
them, he shall surely live. The soul that sinneth, it
shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the
father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of
the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be
upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
him. (Ezekiel 18:19-20)
* Discerning the gift
When people receive gifts from God, they assume that the
gift will be with them throughout their life. However,
this is not the case. Once we have been granted a gift,
the evil spirits will mount continuous attacks. We are
especially attacked when we began to utilize it. The
evil spirits desire to delude the people who possess
gifts. The evil spirits make a frantic attempt to make
the gifts useless. Therefore, in order to properly
maintain a gift, a great amount of prayer is required.
In the physical realm, our life is continuously tiring
and sometimes exhausting.
The gift of prophecy must edify the church. When we
prophesize, the past, present, and future must all
connect and flow together. Depending on whether people
have their hearts opened and depending on how they
receive it, the prophecy can either properly come to
pass or not.
There is a type of prophesy where one can prophesize
with five opened senses. There are many possibilities to
be deluded so we must therefore be always on alert and
have safe guards. The safe guard to us is the powerful
Word of God and powerful prayers. In my case, I was lead
into this type of ministry strictly by the grace of the
Lord. However, when I was having difficulties and my
ministry became cumbersome, I grumbled and complained.
The Lord then comforted and said to me. “If the mountain
is very tall, you must make a tunnel through the
mountain, if the valley is very deep you must build a
bridge by setting bridge pillars. This is what you are
doing. Pastor Kim, you are making a way. You are
performing a difficult work of construction. Pastor Kim,
even though you are walking in difficulty, there are
souls that will follow behind you and it will be much
easier for them. So endure well.”
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot
bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is
come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not
speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that
shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He
shall glorify me: for He shall receive of Mine, and
shall shew it unto you. (John 16:12-14)
There are some groups who attempt to initiate quarrels
by stating that our church is a cult. They state that
the work of the Holy Spirit during the days of Acts were
just a one time event. They say it is over. They
question and attempt to refute our repeated claim and
emphasis of direct revelation. They easily accept some
terms, words and ministry with no particular difficulty.
But they condemn the people who lead Holy Spirit
ministries. In Korean, the words ‘direct revelation’ is
taken offensively by the church. Of course, the
ministers of Holy Spirit ministries have different
personalities and as a result side effects can occur in
their ministries. However, condemning all the ministers
in the same category would not be the thing that would
please the Lord.
I desire to educated those people who condemn the
ministers of the Holy Spirit ministries to know that the
voice of the Lord is heard through the different variety
of gifts.
Moreover, through the gifts, we can directly ask
questions to God. It is more than possible to exchange
words with the Lord through the pathway of tongues,
interpretation, prophecy, seeing through, and with the
awakening of spiritual eyes. Despite the facts, the
organizations that investigate cults condemn this type
of ministries by slandering and ridiculing us. These
types of organizations will drive Christianity toward
the events of what happened in the past. They are very
close to spiritual blindness.
It is just absurd for people to judge the gifts or
experiences of the Holy Spirit that they have never
experienced themselves. They do not know the depth of
the spiritual realm. They have never received the gift
of the Holy Spirit. They claim that the Holy Spirit
dance is cultish and they claim that it is impossible to
have a manifestation of the Holy Spirit hand movement.
In fact, there are many cases where many pastors deny
the Holy Spirit gifts such as the dance, hand movement,
or other gifts. I hope the biblical scriptures that I am
presenting below will assist to comprehend all of this.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment: (Hebrew 9:27)
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by
the law of liberty. (James 2:12)
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou
art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou
condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same
things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is
according to truth against them which commit such
things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them
which do such things, and doest the same, that thou
shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the
riches of his goodness and forbearance and
longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God
leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and
impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath
against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous
judgment of God; (Romans 2:1-5)
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and
there is none occasion of stumbling in him” (James 4:12)
People who are excellent at spiritual discernment or who
have excellent spiritual senses are able to somewhat
determine whether evil spirits are entering or exiting
the bodies of people. Although, I desire all to have
opened spiritual eyes, it is not a gift in which
everyone will be granted. Trinity God’s original
ministry of the Holy Spirit gift will be granted to the
desiring spirit according to the will of God. When I
observe existing traditional churches, I see that they
talk about experiencing faith. They encourage believers
to participate new spiritual experiences. But
practically, they have the tendency to suppress the
manifestation of the gift by the Holy Spirit. Rather
than be healed, they would attempt to stop or block the
passionate expressions or terms of the gift to be
healed.
Currently, our ministry provides over night prayer
services. We perform and experience extraordinary
events. As a result, I am constantly on a hit list and
dragged through the mud. Our ministry is slandered in
all subjects of the ministry. I know there are many
people who speak many negative things about me. I
sometimes think it is better to hear that we are a cult.
If they call me a cult, I am alright with that. I just
don’t want them to go to hell. They define us as a cult
because we pray excessively, we receive extraordinary
experiences and direct revelations, and because we hold
all night prayer meetings. Now we are defined as a cult?
Just because we perform deliverances, they say
excessively, I might add, we are now into mysticism.
Korean churches are so well accustomed that it is easy
to call a person or group a cult. Korea churches by
design accustom themselves so that believers will not
break away from the status quo. They have made it easy
to accuse someone or group a cult. As a result, the true
ministers of God are accused falsely and true cultish
organizations are not properly dealt with.
There is an organization that investigates cults. They
called the pastor of elders which belonged to the
denomination of Presbyterian churches. On one particular
day, before service began, a pastor who is a clerk in
the pastor of elders’ assembly came to visit. He said,
“Pastor, do you know the purpose of my visit?” I
replied, “Yes, but I can only guess.” The pastor (clerk)
said, “Actually…I have desired to experience more of
this type of power. I was interested in the experiences
and events that are happening in your church.” I
replied, “Pastor, let us go to my office and you will
experience the real power of God.” When we arrived in my
office, I raised my hand very high into the air and
toward the pastor. As my hand was raised high over him,
the evil spirits that were hidden in his body began to
manifest. The pastor began to show symptoms of a seizure
attack. But regrettably, we did not have enough time to
cast out all the evil spirits, only a few were expelled.
The pastor (clerk) had to leave but he said that he will
return.
Generally, many lay people have the tendency to cling
and hold on to traditional doctrines. Our souls are
screaming and lamenting but most Christians are relying
on their physical thoughts and emotions. Although we
desire power, in reality, we are in the state of
complacency. We are complacent to the power or gifts of
the Holy Spirit. As a result, the pathway for power and
gifts are closed and blocked. Complacency is a
regrettable spiritual reality that I am constantly
observing as I travel through the ministry scenes.
In the mean, there are some ministers with power who
gather close together to fellowship. But in contrary,
they sometimes extremely ostracize one another. The Lord
has provided us with great power and many gifts. We at
the Lord’s Church always try to walk in humility. We do
not want to express to others that the power is from us.
We walk lowly so that the glory belongs to the Lord. I
am also only a lowly servant. As I humble myself and
walk as a lowly servant, people would ask, “Pastor! Do
you really have to be like that?”
Ministers, brothers, and sisters who are in the ministry
of the Holy Spirit and with gifts would sometimes visit
the Lord’s Church. Some of them were very blind and
reckless. They would claim exclusivity for their church
and that their church is the true church. They were
trained in their own ways. The baptism of the Holy Fire
cannot be granted so factitiously. They desire with
their lips but in reality they are not ready. As a
result, their visit was only a one time event. Perhaps,
they desired to experience but when that failed, they
immediately denied and turn toward criticism.
At the Lord’s Church, we share and impart the many
various gifts. But most important is the ministry of the
Holy Spirit and Fire. Most of the times, during the
middle of the fire ministry, the identities of the evil
spirits are exposed. However, there are some who make
such a claim that it is us who are placing the evil
spirits into the bodies of people to expose them. What
nonsense! How are we able to put evil spirits into the
bodies of people and then make people have seizures? It
is truly ridiculous! The work we perform is from God.
Only God can do such a work. I believe He will fairly
judge good and evil. Instead of looking at the positive
things in situations, people in general have a tendency
to target and draw out the negative. It is a natural
outward character of people. As I was troubled by this
type of matter, the Lord came to me and gave me a word
of warning.
“My beloved Pastor Kim! Many souls are claiming to be
faithful and devoted to me. However, this is not true.
They are defining it in their own way and ability. They
are ego centered and not genuine! In many cases, they
are not pure and not sincere. They claim to be full of
enthusiasm and loyalty, but it is not genuine to last
long. Be cautious of them!”
I asked the Lord, “My beloved Lord! Why have you still
granted them power and prophecy?” The Lord replied,
“They are now dominated with a self centered spirit.
Materialism has gradually seeped in. They are now
accustomed to corruption. It is truly regrettable!!!”
And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may
go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this
manner, and another said on that manner. And there came
forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I
will persuade him. And the LORD said unto him,
Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a
lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he
said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go
forth, and do so. Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath
put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy
prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
(1 Kings 22:20-23)
* The truth of tongues, interpretation, and gifts
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or
a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all
knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could
remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and
though I give my body to be burned, and have not
charity, it profiteth me nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not
unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him;
howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. (1
Corinthians 14:2)
Surprisingly, many people ask, “Why do you even bother
to pray in tongues when you do not even understand what
you are saying? You can not even interpret.” These
people then become hesitant to pray in tongues. But in
many cases, among all the spiritual gifts, the standard
gift begins with tongue. As we pray in tongue and we
pray earnestly and longer, we are able to reach a state
of deep spirituality. As we enter a deep state of
spirituality, the powerful presence, intervention, and
power of the Holy Spirit provides us with new strength.
With new strength, the tongue is changed to a powerful
tongue. The tongue then progresses even more swimmingly
or without difficulty. The tongue then connects to
interpretation and eventually to prophesying. The tongue
will then develop to the other various powerful gifts.
Can tongues, interpretation, and the gift of prophesy
become corrupt? Yes, it is a real possibility. Based on
our experience, there are two types of tongues.
There are some cases when the Holy Spirit suddenly
grants the gift of tongue to a person who was either not
seeking or desiring it. On the other hand, the Holy
Spirit will grant based on the person earnestly desiring
it. With the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit, the
Lord can directly grant us the tongue with or without
our will. His powerful presence will suddenly move our
tongue and the person will began to pray in tongue. In
most cases, the person receiving will be confused for a
moment. Nobody knows when the gift of tongue will be
granted. It is only at the discretion of the Lord. On
the other hand, the Lord will grant the gift based on
our faith and request. This is also intervention of the
Holy Spirit.
Our spirit, soul, thoughts, and emotions are based on
our own ideas and beliefs. In other words, it is
notional. We comprehend and accept our ways based on
what we have learned from our environment. It is based
on what we have been taught and what we have heard. Our
physical body and its members such as the eyes, nose,
mouth, tongue, hand, feet, and the sensory organs have
not been developed to dwell in the presence of the Lord.
We have not even been experientially trained. Therefore,
when the work of the Lord directly comes upon us through
our bodies, we are not able to understand it. We are at
many times very surprised. Especially in the case of the
tongue, or the gift of tongue, it will not come out
smoothly. The gifts are granted to us because God loves
us. Therefore, we can never be granted the gifts through
factitious manipulation or greed.
When we pray in tongue, the tongue must stay in the
mouth. During the prayer of tongue, when a person’s
tongue comes out of the mouth, it is a form of
deformity. The tongue would hiss as a snake’s. When we
witness such abnormity, the tongue can come out of the
mouth and appear much longer than usual. It is a
horrific site. In our case, when praying in tongues
degenerates and deforms, we will shout ‘Holy Fire’ and
put Holy Fire into that person. The person then recovers
and is returned into a state of wholeness. As it is
possible, the evil spirits will attempt to degenerate
the gift of tongues. However, with the presence of the
Holy Fire, all were discriminated.
Although, I have a short experience on the gift of
interpretation, let me comment on this subject. As
usual, I once again emphasize that the spiritual gifts
of the Lord are many. The gifts manifest according to
the measure of faith by the believer. Some people are
insistent that the gift of interpretation should be of
one interpretation. They say that there cannot be a
conflict of interpretation.
However, this is not the case. For example, a person
once sat on a chair and asked to pray in tongue. To test
this theory, we placed five people around the person
praying in tongue. All five persons had the ability to
interpret. We also know that all five people can express
differently as they attempt to interpret in Korean. The
tongue can also be heard differently according to the
person’s faith. The most important aspect to of the
interpretation is the fact that all five persons had
different interpretations. This is a real case. One
person had an interpretation of mental problems, the
second person had the interpretation of household
problems, the third person had the interpretation of the
person’s job, and the last two interpretations were
about the person’s husband and her children.
With these interpretations, I was very confused and in a
state of doubt. I thought to myself, ‘How could the
interpretations come out so differently from one
tongue?’ The Lord then gave me the answer. I want people
to know the answer. Interpretation is not meant to be
heard as one type of explanation or understanding.
Many churches, pastors, and believers have their own
method and expect their own type of result. They are
insistent and dogmatic of their own method or result.
‘If you do it this way, it will work.’ Or they may say,
‘Why don’t you do it this way?’ But it doesn’t matter
how well or right it appears. If one is so dogmatic with
their method or result, it can appear arrogant. People
have many different ways to accept things. It is an easy
thing for people to become arrogant. Ignorance is one of
the main reasons why they speak as though their
experience and knowledge are all that one needs to know.
They attempt to apply their formula on everyone. They
decide and value the outcome based on their formula. For
example, when it comes to spiritual books from America
or other foreign countries, these types of people become
fanatics and basically go insane over these books. They
will try to apply what they read and mend as necessary
of what they learned. They attempt to befriend the
authors and illustrate an intimate relationship. They
are like fans wanting to know the stars to feel
important. The prophets and prophesying people from
America are well treated and acknowledged. They call
them ‘Apostles and Prophets.’ However, the same people
accuse the prophets from their own country (Korea) as
densely false.
Our life of faith and spiritual lives are not that
simple, nor is it trivial. Our spiritual lives and the
Holy Spirit movement can be very broad and different. It
can take many different forms of variety. The Holy
Spiritual realm is very deep and abundant. We will not
be able to explore all of it in our life time.
Furthermore, we will never be able to express the depth
and abundance with our finite thoughts or words.
Many people are misinformed. The movement or ministry of
the Holy Spirit is not a focus of itself. The gifts can
not also be a focus point. If the Holy Spirit movement
becomes our focal point, we will become exhausted. If
the gifts or movement begin to take precedence over our
life, the real focal point will be degenerated. We will
eventually fall away as a result. Degeneration equals
the seed of calamity. Our focal point must be only the
Lord, who is the subject of our faith. The cultish
churches, cultish individuals, any type of cultish
organizations have all the same type of problems. It is
very difficult to communicate with them. They do not
have a common sense of spirituality or just sense in
general. The center of Jesus and Paul’s ministry were
love, devotion, and self sacrifice.
Jesus is our center and focus. He must be our subject of
love and devotion. When a church is full of unskilled
laborers who are without training or experiences, the
skilled laborers who are already in the field will have
twice the work. Mistakes are more likely since the work
and burden is twice as much.
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not
have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles,
carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking
by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no
man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost. (1 Corinthians 12:1-3)
* Discerning false prophets
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out
in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
(Acts 2:17-18)
We are living in the days where many are saying we are
in the end times. They shout it out continuously and
endlessly. Many prophecies, dreams, visions, and
revelations are overflowing from Korea and other various
places around the globe. I can actually feel God’s
passionate affection toward this generation through the
various gifts that are granted to His Church and
believers.
However, on the flip side, a given amount of futile
dreams, revelations, and deluded prophecies can occurs.
Moreover, many series of side effects can occur. The
fundamental position of my pastoral ministry is, of
course, the written Word of God. But recently, the Lord
has led me to gifts and power. I sometimes think that
some amounts of spiritual imbalance can possibly occur
but nevertheless we can not refuse or ignore the gifts
of the Holy Spirit. The gifts are granted by God
Himself. When we were in a spiritual slump, the various
types of gifts from the Holy Spirit became a huge vital
power for our faith. Through the Lord’s complete
intervention and passionate guidance, the direction of
my ministry became definite and clear.
The gift of tongue, prophecy, interpretation, seeing
through, awakening of spiritual eyes, and etc are the
pathway of faith. This pathway opens up the sides of our
spirituality. It is also through this pathway of faith
that God speaks to us and gives us revelation. Although,
we already have the written Word of God, we are able to
vividly experience our connection and contact with God
through the various gifts.
In order to utilize these gifts, we should note some
matters and not fail to take notice. The devil and his
forces are greatly attracted to these types of spiritual
areas and taste. They will intensely attack. The devil
is well aware of peoples’ likes and dislikes. The evil
forces will attempt to deceive the chosen ones if
possible.
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and
shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were
possible, even the elect. (Mark 13:22)
People who possess gifts are more inclined and exposed
to the forces of evil spirits. They are relentlessly
attacked ever more. The devil will make the people with
gifts targets. The devil will focus and concentrate a
plan of attack. The devil begins by stimulating the
consciousness of people. He will plant thoughts of
overtaking others, getting ahead, competition, and
eventually planting the seed of greed. The greed to win
others. As a result, men, women, people of all ages
become deluded or degenerated continuously by the
indiscriminate attacks of the evil spirits.
A famous prophet from another country once made a
comment with respect to prophesying. He rationalized by
stating that when one prophesizes, only 20 percent of
prophesying is correct. In other words, if one can get
20 percent correct, it would be determined a success.
The comment by the famous prophet is not correct, but
when it comes to gifts, no one is safe or an exception
to the rule.
There are three ways we can hear God’s voice. The first
is to hear with our ears, the second is with our mind,
and lastly, we can perhaps perceive with our impression.
However, if we do not properly discern with powerful
prayer, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, we will be
subject to deception by the devil.
At every revival service, I have clearly witnessed or
experience the manipulation and degeneration by the
devil in prophecy, vision, dream, tongue,
interpretation, spiritual eyes, and even the Holy Spirit
dance. If one can not discern the evil spirits operating
within their bodies which are secretly hidden and living
in them, one can be possibly deceived by them. Grafting
a gift without first completing a deliverance session by
the powerful Holy Fire will result in possible
manipulation by the devil. As I look more and deeply
into the human body with my awakened spiritual eyes, I
notice the body is very complicated and broad. I have a
feeling of enigma from it. If we include all of the
flesh, soul, and spirit, it is like spacious space which
is beyond our imagination.
There is no point in counting the number of evil spirits
that enter our bodies which is like broad space. The
devil dispatches countless evil spirits to bring one
soul to destruction. People are well pleased when evil
spirits can be expelled instantly. But even this
appearance can be deception. The evil spirits find
pleasure in toying with us. For example, in one
incident, we shouted, “In the name of Jesus Christ
depart!” The demonized person fell to the floor and he
or she fainted. We were very excited and impressed by
the fact that the demons were expelled all at once. But
soon after, we realized that we were deceived by the
evil spirits. They were still inside the person.
There are times when some prophetic persons can advise
you that the evil spirits have left during their
consultation. By any amount of degree, the prophetic
person can be fooled themselves by the hidden evil
spirits. When prophetic and gifted people pray over a
person, they must themselves first examine their own
spiritual state. Otherwise, the evil spirits that are in
the prophetic or gifted person can go into the person
who is prayed during the middle of prayer. We have to
keep in mind this can also happen vice versa.
Once some people accumulate their own experience and
methods in the area of gift and spirituality, they
desire to be acknowledged as an expert in that field. In
reality, they are just novices or pretenders. There are
no experts of spirituality on this earth. If there are
any, they are really impersonators or imposters. There
is only one expert, God.
I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies
in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How
long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that
prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of
their own heart; Which think to cause my people to
forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man
to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name
for Baal. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a
dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word
faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the
LORD. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and
like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the
LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor.
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that
use their tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, I am
against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD,
and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their
lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor
commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this
people at all, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 23:25-32)
There are some who interpret a person’s dream, vision,
and revelation just through an educated guess. These
people interpret to gain advantage for their own
benefit. As a result, they are responsible for the
person’s confusion or stumble. Furthermore, there are
many people who fall into a snare because someone gave
them an incorrect interpretation of a prophecy, dream,
vision, or revelation that did not come to pass. Sadly,
some are bound to the wrong interpretation as they waste
their whole life chasing or waiting for their answer.
Would the devil not imitate prophecy, vision, or dreams?
Wouldn’t he not even imitate God? Therefore, the most
important aspect is to discerning the spirit. Discerning
the spirit should be considered very important. As
important as our own lives are to ourselves.
* Testimony of suffering from receiving a counterfeit
gift
Some time ago, a family and their pastor visited the
Lord’s Church. They were from a church located in the
countryside. It was a solitary ministry. The grandmother
was the deaconess and her son in law and daughter were
the pastoral leaders. The son in law was the pastor who
also had a son. The son was a junior in high school.
They claimed that he danced in the Spirit during the
worship service. In fact, he would dance in front of the
platform and in front of hundreds of church members.
They said his Holy dance is very beautiful and smooth.
It was the maternal grandmother who was the deaconess to
properly discern whether the dance was a real Holy dance
or the devil’s trick. The grandmother has been praying
for it and now she wanted an answer.
First of all, in case the Holy dance was a counterfeit,
I advised the party that we may be subjected to disputed
and arguing. I advised them to firmly prepare their
hearts as they observed. They claimed their visit to the
Lord’s Church was due to reading the baptism book.
Furthermore, they have been told that the Lord’s Church
is in the comprehensive Holy Spirit ministry including
dancing in the Spirit. They also stated that their
ministry performed deliverances and sometimes
prophesized. Now, they were earnestly requesting the
Lord’s Church to discern the spirit in public with their
spiritual eyes. If we carelessly or incorrectly handle
or treat this sensitive matter, we can bring about a
larger problem. A negative outcome could create a
psychological shellshock for the concerned party.
With many people participating daily all night services
at the Lord’ Church, we are able to perform
deliverances. However deliverance is for the people who
are opened in their faith and desires to be diagnosed
and helped. Just when we were about to began our worship
and praising, the signs of a counterfeit Holy Spirit
dance began to slowly manifest. Indeed, the body
movement of the boy was very soft. It flowed like water.
He was dancing with the worship rhythm. However, with my
spiritual eyes, I began to notice the unusual movements.
Everybody was observing him out of curiosity.
I could see large and small snakes. They were packed
together. Some were white and some were transparent. The
transparent anaconda shaped snakes were all inside the
boy’s body. The snakes were twisting restlessly as they
were exposed to the Holy Fire inside the Lord’s Church.
As soon as I imparted Holy Fire, the snakes through the
boy shouted, “Hot! Hot!” He struggled and moved
restlessly. I thought to myself, ‘How sad. The boy
thought his dancing was a gift of the Holy dance…..’
When the identity of the snakes was revealed, the snakes
coiled around the boy’s whole body. The snakes insanely
contorted and deranged in figure. I came closer to the
boy and imparted Holy Fire, Holy Electricity, and the
Poisonous Thorns. At last, the incident occurred. The
boy screamed and fell to the floor. As his parents
watched, they were shocked and restless. The parents
were busy wiping their tears away as they cried out.
The evil spirit in the form of an anaconda snake rushed
toward me as though to strike and bite me. The snake
exposed the wild fangs through the boy’s mouth. The eyes
of the snake were very contorted. As soon as I saw the
eyes of the snakes, my body became covered with goose
bumps and my hairs stood up. With time and continued
battling, I was able to confirm additional snakes within
the boy’s body. The church congregation who had awakened
spiritual eyes shouted in one voice, “Pastor! Pastor!
The boy’s body is full of anaconda snakes! As the Holy
Fire and Electricity from your hands entered the boy’s
body, the snakes distorted the boy’s body and made him
behave violently as it became too hot for the snakes.”
As I raised my right hand to the air, I drew close to
the boy and quietly and softly whispered, “Hey, I
already know your identity, therefore, quickly go filthy
evil spirit! Why had you entered the body of the Lord’s
beloved son? Quickly! Get out!” The snake made the boy
hiss with his tongue and said, “No! No! Do not come
close! I will not get out! It is very comfortable in
here. It is so good in here, why should I go out?” The
eyes of the boy appeared menacing. It almost looked like
the eyes of a snake. The evil spirit in the boy was
posturing defensively and ready to bite me. A serious
deliverance was just about to begin.
“I command you in the name of Jesus, you filthy evil
spirit, come out quickly! Holy Fire!” As I shouted, the
boy fell to the floor screaming and distorting with his
whole body. He was having a counterfeit seizure. The
parents and the relatives stared with deadly paled
faces. They were in complete shock. I asked the boy’s
Father who was the church pastor and his family members.
“How on earth have you neglected this boy in such a way
up to this point? What kind of place would teach that
type of dance as Holy?”
The father of the boy responded by stating that there
are many places in Korea that are in the ministry of the
Holy Spirit. A certain place had taught them to lie down
and tumble, rolling around. They pressure people to
swirl around. These movements have made people dizzy and
they would fall to the floor from exhaustion. The father
continued and said that the movements are universal and
are being taught by that particular church. I was
somewhat aware of that particular church or place. They
were performing many different eccentric types of
ministry. Nevertheless, this boy was in serious
situation.
The Lord’s Church has been granted with many different
varieties of gifts. We have had the privilege of
experiencing the utilization of the gifts. With that
said, I now realize once again that there is a fair
amount of places in Korea which are practicing
imprudence and acts of outrageousness.
Based on our experiences, we have realized that the
devil dispatches the forces of evil to churches,
households, believers, and individual believers. The
forces of evil are either dispatched as an individual
evil spirit and/or as groups. satan persistently,
endlessly, continues to dispatch the forces of evil into
the Christian communities. But the Christians are
disconcerted and ignorant. The devil will also dispatch
higher ranked evil spirits to attack people who are
officially recognized as a higher spiritual authority.
The devil will send evil spirits comparable to the level
of spirituality of the person. Their purpose is only
one.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy
4:1)
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before. (Matthew 24:24-25)
We can easily perceive how the many churches, pastors,
and believers are in ignorance of the attacks by the
devil. They deal the matter in an abstract way. If
possible, the devil will attack the ministry to
degenerate it. But in realty, for example, the people
who are leading ministries with the gifts are vague to
the idea that satan cannot invade their ministry. satan
can not only invade but manipulate as well.
The devil is active in any place where there is teaching
and training in prophecy. Even in substantial ministries
or while revival may be occurring, the evil spirits can
bring in a delusion of specious plausibility. Based on
my experience thus far, the evil spirits will degenerate
and dilute in between prophecy, tongue, interpretation,
dreams, and visions. satan has a maneuver of splitting
the messages from our gifts. Therefore, we can not relax
for a moment.
Many gifted people from all ends of the spectrum from
different types of ministries visits the Lord’s Church.
People without rooted faith tend to fall away when big
trials and tests come their way. They vaguely
participate with our church. Some people who were at
least opened up with their spiritual five senses,
prophecy, interpretation, and visions collapsed at the
end of their final trial or test. Even though, a person
can think he/she has good faith, if they depend on their
gift without spiritual discernment, they will not last
very long. The center of their hearts will be shaken.
The Lord saw the fruits of our gifts bearing from the
foundation of love and our personality. As time passes,
we are able to see the truth of our work. The promise
comes after we are tested through a process for
perseverance. There are always counterfeits waiting.
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath
great recompense of reward. For ye have need of
patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye
might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and
he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now
the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back,
my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of
them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10:35-39)
* An all around soldiers of the cross
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself
with the affairs of this life; that he may please him
who hath chosen him to be a soldier. (2 Timothy 2:3-4)
And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men
that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites
into thine hand: and let all the other people go every
man unto his place. (Judges 7:7)
The secular world defines power and pride by quantity.
Everyone is concerned about increasing their number.
They want to increase their number whether it is the
dollar amount or the number of people of their
congregation. However, we must recognize that quality is
more important than quantity. When we examine the
parable of the sower, we can see when the seed falls
onto good soil, the harvest is a hundred fold of good
fruits. God requires people of faith who do not trust
the weapons of the flesh, but only the Lord. God chose
three hundred soldiers for Gideon and used them. They
were not complainers. They were obedient with pitchers
and lamps. They were skilled at watching and observing
the enemy. In the last days, the Lord will look for
soldiers who can match head to head with the forces of
evil spirits. I like to tell you that those types of
soldiers are like the members of the Lord’s Church
including myself. We are the Lord’s servants including
lay believers who will jump into the ministry of Fire.
Many churches, pastors, and lay believers are not
interested and are even hostile when it comes to
discussing or engaging against evil spirits. They are
only willing to explore the truth of evil spirits when
they are directly or personally injured or suffered from
them. This is why the evil spirits are running around
like wild animals in the world. Not many people are
engaging them. The evil spirits are in delight and shout
for joy due to the apathy of people.
The devil and his evil forces enter our bodies,
thoughts, mind, and will. They hide in all of those
areas inside a person. Then in secret, they will build
their nest to demolish God’s good will and order. In
conclusion, God and evil spirits use people as their
passage to process their work. The difference is their
course and direction. The devil uses people to trample
others. The evil spirits make toys of people to play
around with. Their intention is to make us sin and drag
us to hell. However, through our body and our balanced
personality or character, God leads us to heaven.
Therefore, our body, soul, spirit, and living daily is
the bloody battlefield that we must fight satan and his
evil forces.
Despite of the situations or battles, the reason we are
able to live in gratitude of salvation, joy, and not
sorrow is due to God’s total powerful grace. As long as
there are combative Christians willing to engage and
confront evil spirits, the Lord will always properly
equip them. The Lord will always be the source of new
power. New power will be released for the Christians
engaging and fighting evil spirits.
Even on earth, when people go to war, the country with
the new powerful weapons will likely win. However,
creating and making new weapons is costly and require
much time in research and development.
Once a weapon is completed in research and development,
the weapon must still under go tests in various ways. A
new weapon has to be powerful, weather proof, and
accurate enough to reach and bring down destruction on
the target. A new weapon must endure water, fire, cold
and hot weather conditions. I desire Christians to mimic
the newest developed weapons. I want Christians to be
powerful soldiers like superman but in reality,
Christians are very weak and are easily exposed to the
forces of sin.
To the weak Christians, the Lord desires them to become
the newest developed weapon. We habitually scream and
fall at even the smallest trial or test. We had always
wondered why powerful manifestations or events occurred
in our church. We assumed such manifestations and events
only occurred in mega churches, with powerful gifted
people, or with ministers of other foreign country.
* The Prize
Just as in the physical world, the spiritual world has a
prize for warfare to the winner. In other words, the
prize or spoils goes to the victor. Many souls around
the world seek powerful anointed ministers, but I am
sensing that there are not enough of them. Day and
night, we are engaged in bloody restless spiritual
warfare with the devil’s forces. We are excessively
exhausting the strength of our physical bodies. As a
result, we are attacked by chronic exhaustion as well.
However, on the flip side, the Lord has granted us fresh
and new spiritual power in our lives and now we are
overflowed with joy and excitement. Furthermore, we did
not give up in our battles but we preserved through it.
The Lord then rewarded us with special powerful weapons
of Holy Fire, Electricity, and many more other new
spiritual advanced weapons and gifts. We felt like we
were receiving prizes.
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. (2
Corinthians 9:15)
All of the different types of gifts and power for use in
the spiritual warfare are being delivered to us as a
result of our prayer and crying out. Crying out and
prayer are pathways of supply for our weapons.
Therefore, we desperately struggle on a daily basis to
keep up our hours of prayer. The spiritual weapons that
God grants cannot be easily obtained. It is not like
something we can simply get from a vending machine by
simply pressing a button. Generally, it is not that
easy. One must cry out daily, persevere and triumph
extreme difficult spiritual battles against the devil
and his evil forces. Whoever preserves to the end
without giving up will obtain it through victory. One
must persevere and be more persistent than the evil
spirits.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow
after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on
eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast
professed a good profession before many witnesses.
(1Timothy 6:11-12)
* The warning through signs
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my
holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh
at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of
clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon
the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath
not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after
it, even to the years of many generations. (Joel 2:1-2)
Many people are endlessly crying out that we are in the
end time. Therefore, in order to discern this evil
generation, people are gathering around gifted people.
The people are wondering when the Lord will return. But
most clear and certain is the fact that the gifted
people do not know the answer to that question. It is
only up to God. With the Lord’s statement in Matthew
Chapter 24, we can indirectly discern the end time
apocalyptic phenomenal events.
As a matter of fact, when I visited heaven, I asked
Apostle Paul a question. Paul humbly directed me to
deeply read through the four gospels which have the
statements of the Lord rather than the epistles of Paul.
He pointed out and said that the four gospels are more
beneficial. The end time apocalyptic phenomenal events
in Matthew Chapter 24 would be the place to go for the
answer.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no
man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear
of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled:
for all these things must come to pass, but the end is
not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All
these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they
deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and
ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
(Matthew 24:4-9)
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man
that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the
shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will
turn mine hand upon the little ones. And it shall come
to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts
therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be
left therein. And I will bring the third part through
the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and
will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my
name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people:
and they shall say, The LORD is my God. (Zechariah
13:7-9)
The sensitivity of Christianity may be the cross and the
second coming of Jesus Christ. The beginning journey and
the journey itself is an important process of a
Christian but the most important aspect of the life of a
Christian is the Lord’s second coming. It is an end time
event for all Christians who are waiting for the Lord.
It is the last hope and the fruit of our long wait. The
Lord is our reward for our perseverance.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
(Revelation 14:12)
I wish for all those who believe in the Lord to be
rapture. But on that day, there will obviously be a
division for those who were taken and those who were
left behind. First and foremost important process is to
equip myself with the conditions the Lord requires of
me. However, many believers are living a dangerous
Christian life. Their faith is on the border line.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and
slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those
virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. (Matthew 25:5-7)
It would not be a mistake even if I say that our
Christian life exist for only one day, the last day of
the second coming of Jesus. In some instances, there are
people prowling around to determine the final day. But
this infatuation to find the determined final day is
clearly superstition. The best route for Christians is
to be ready at all times. We can realize this from the
parable of the ten virgins. Although we all physically
fall asleep due to weariness, we must always be ready
with the oil and lamp. In other words, we are preparing
ourselves spiritually on a daily basis.
The Lord made some statements to me. He said that when
the pastors do not prepare the congregations for rapture
beforehand, the result will be that they will all be
left behind. The believers who are left behind will vent
out their anger on their pastors. They will be angered
for not being rapture. The believers will take their
revenge on pastors who had taught them in error during
their lives. The pastors will die brutally by hands of
their church members who were left behind. This event
will occur throughout the world in all places and
churches. As a pastor, I am truly in fear.
My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have
caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on
the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill,
they have forgotten their resting place. All that found
them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We
offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD,
the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of
their fathers. (Jeremiah 50:6-7)
* The Fire Ministry motive
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if
it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be
baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be
accomplished! (Luke 12:49-50)
Jesus stated that He comes to bring fire on a sterile
and cold land. The Fire that the Lord grants us can
completely devastate the forces of evil. In fact, it is
more than just fire. The fire is a powerful layer of
light that can burn up all kinds of diseases on earth
which can heal.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of
righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye
shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
(Malachi 4:2)
Will there be anyone who could refuse and dislike the
granting of Fire by God which represents power? The Fire
can be received by any type of ministry as long as the
conditions are met in which the Lord can work with.
However, in reality, spiritual reality that is, we can
realize that is not the case. People admire and request
to the Lord to grant them power. They ask with their
lips but as the Lord approaches closer, they become
startled and frightened before receiving the power. They
habitually run away.
On any given day, the Lord can suddenly grant a person
the Fire and gift without the person realizing it.
However, most of the time, one must start from the
bottom. We reach spiritual depth and maturity through a
process, one step at a time. As we go through this
process, the people do not really understand spiritual
warfare. It is an unavoidable encounter with the
enormous army of evil spirits on a daily basis. This is
the reality of it and most of the people do not realize
it. We must discern the present time and generation
through a spiritual perception. We must believe that the
Lord will engage with us. To all the laborers, He will
spiritually open us up and will overflow in us with His
filling according to our measure of faith. This power
and ability is granted to all those who wish to resolve
all spiritual oppressions.
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you;
that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things,
may abound to every good work: As it is written, He hath
dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his
righteousness remaineth for ever. (2 Corinthians 9:8-9)
* There will be division
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell
you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there
shall be five in one house divided, three against two,
and two against three. The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son against the father; the
mother against the daughter, and the daughter against
the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in
law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise
out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a
shower; and so it is. And when ye see the south wind
blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of
the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this
time? Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what
is right? (Luke 12:51-57)
Jesus is the source of divisions. He causes quarrels
among the followers of satan in various places. From the
moment He came to earth and until He died on the cross,
He created many disputes and caused a big stir.
Moreover, the quarrels and divisions He created lead to
His death as well.
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for
we have seen his star in the east, and are come to
worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things,
he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (Matthew
2:2-3)
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise
men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all
the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the
coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according
to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise
men. (Matthew 2:16)
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was
moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This
is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. (Matthew
21:10-11)
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up
the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning
from Galilee to this place. (Luke 23:5)
Furthermore, the Lord will continue and cause another
enormous stir in a scale in which the whole universe
will be affected.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1
Thessalonians 4:16-18)
Christianity is not only emphatic but constitutes many
metaphorical components. We can understand heaven
through the parables. Before arriving at the Red Sea,
the way out was hidden for God’s chosen people. In the
same respect, the real truth of Jesus’ power and
authority is hidden within the spiritual disputes,
divisions, and stirs.
But how many souls are out there that would boldly jump
into division? Who will be like John the Baptist? For
the Lord, John isolated himself, he was a source of
quarrels, and he fiercely rebuked the hypocritical self
righteous people. The self righteous were people with
only an outward appearance of holiness. The Lord taught
His disciples to take up their own cross in freedom and
not to tangle themselves with anything else for the sake
of the gospel. The Lord had isolated them as well.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow me. (Matthew 16:24)
Apostle Paul once pointed out the war that was raging
and battling inside him.
But I see another law in my members, warring against the
law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the
law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I
am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I
thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with
the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the
flesh the law of sin. (Romans 7:23-25)
After publishing “Baptism by Blazing Fire, the Lord’s
Church and our ministry became an important subject
among many people. Most of the people valuated us in a
good way but occasionally, some people negatively
expressed their opinions by saying something like, “They
will not last long. That church does not have any
fruits.” Therefore, we decided to disclose the fruits.
In other words, we decided to disclose the answers we
had received through our prayers for our church.
God had granted us a plentiful harvest of fruits. The
fruits were not only in our daily lives or routines but
throughout all our spiritual sides. We gave all the
glory to God with thanksgiving and joy. Moreover, all
the necessary materials and provisions were added.
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves
unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
He should have fed them also with the finest of the
wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have
satisfied thee. (Psalms 81:15-16)
When we receive a blessing from God, we must receive it,
it is considered a command. If we refuse or cannot
accept a blessing, it is completely our responsibility.
Our problem may be unbelief. This is a matter of the
individual’s faith. We must first mature and grow in
faith to receive. When it comes to God’s blessings, the
spiritual blessings come first and then material
blessings follow. However, people pray for it in
reverse.
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer
cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and
cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast
hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of
his dreams. (Genesis 37:19-20)
It is important not to give up on the dreams that God
has given us. We must embrace it even in tribulation.
Jesus commanded me to disclose and document all the work
He had completed and the fruits He had bear. The Lord
said that many of God’s servants and churches would gain
strength and hope as they read our testimonies during
their difficult trials.
People must experience their own spiritual time. When
they experience a time of difficult discipline, God will
speak to them and grant them revelation and experience.
When we pray, read, and meditate God’s Word, we are
spending time to store up spiritual power and strength.
As we spend time in praying, reading, and meditating,
the power of inspiration will come out and we will know
the will of God of us. Therefore, in order to receive
our own promised grace and blessing, we must obey the
commandments of God and endure the suffocating
tribulation that approaches us in prayer and crying out.
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons
of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do
justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and
needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. (Psalms
82:2-4)
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give
grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from
them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is
the man that trusteth in thee. (Psalms 84:11-12)
People who excessively seek first His Kingdom rebuke the
people who seek the daily necessities of life. They
state to them that they do not have faith.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you. (Matthew 6:33)
But I want you to know that we sometimes cannot seek
first His Kingdom and His righteousness. We are living
in a society that is fiercely competitive. I think we do
not have to worry so much about when we are not able too
at times. When it comes to asking, seeking, and
knocking, I think the Lord would rather enjoy the
process of our prayers even though it may not be in
order. Perhaps, even if it was in reverse.
It would be better if we carefully consider and pray
rationally with procedure. But the Lord had always and
accurately answered the Lord’s Church’s disorder and
crying out which was with no procedure. The requests and
prayers by the Lord’s Church were always urgent and in
most instances considered an emergency and therefore, we
had always prayed in a disordered manner. Despite that,
the Lord accurately and orderly arranged our prayers as
He answered them. As we experienced this revelation, we
are continuously impressed by His work. Hallelujah!
Chapter 2
* Amazing prayer answered
Everyday we cried out, we prayed powerfully all night
long on a daily basis throughout the year and as a
result, God granted us many blessings. One of our
special blessings was the Lord progressively moving our
church from the basement level to a building above
ground. The Lord moved us into a larger temple from 711
square feet to 9400 square feet. Hallelujah! How on
earth was all this happening, I could not believe it.
What was happening to me? It was like a dream.
Our previous church was located underground, it was in
the basement. The neighborhood was surrounded by many
other small and large churches. Almost every other
building in our area was occupied by a church. As a
result, this place was a difficult place to envision a
revival. A medium sized church was located right across
the Lord’s Church. A prayer house and a church were
located next to us below ground level. Another church
was located above the Lord’s Church. Behind the Lord’s
Church was a very tall building and that was a mega
church. There were countless of other churches lined up
along side of the road.
The neighborhood where our church was located was not an
easy place to hold a revival. The Lord’s Church had
prayed for 13 years throughout the night there. The
people in our neighborhood had complained of our prayers
and worship music during the night. They could not sleep
from the sound we were making. But we restlessly pressed
on. I did feel sorry and was overwhelmed with gratitude.
Those years in the underground basement level church was
a battlefield for me. I was going through the daily
struggles of life and death.
I have an impatient personality. In order to escape from
the underground basement church, I attempted to
indirectly find an excuse. I wanted to get ahead of the
Lord. “My beloved Lord, the space for the underground
Lord’s Church is too small and tight. Many people who
are reading the ‘Baptism’ book are visiting from all
throughout the country. What should I do? Please move us
to a larger building, quickly!”
Whenever I beseeched the Lord, He sometimes would
sanction against me or He would kindly advise me. He’s
thoughts are very different than mine. But I was
impatient and I obstinately beseeched Him. However, the
Lord always had replied that the time was not yet and
for me to be more patient and continue praying.
As a matter of fact, whenever people came to visit the
Lord’s Church, they commented on how small it was and
they felt suffocated. The church sanctuary for worship
and service was only about 711 square feet. We only had
one toilet and it was used as a unisex. We had a very
small sized washing place where the people had to crouch
down to wash. Some of the older buildings do not have a
traditional sink to wash in. The place was extremely
uncomfortable. Behind the sanctuary was a kitchen in
very poor condition, it was about 106 square feet in
size. Many people rushed to visit the Lord’s Church to
confirm and experience what they had read in the Fire
Baptism book. They wanted to know if the experiences in
the book were either real or fake. The Lord sent many
people. In some instances, there was no more space for
people to sit or stand. The Lord then told me about
moving the church temple.
“Pastor Kim, many people will come and when that
happens, there will not be enough space for people to
sit. Some people will have to sit on the platform. The
peoples’ shoes will fill the bottom of the stairs all
the way to the top of the stairs. I will then and
finally move you to a larger church building."
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he
hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can
find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to
the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
The incidents that have occurred in the Lord’s Church
has attracted not only many people from within the
country but from outside the country as well. Some have
visited for one day while some have come for a longer
duration. Those that have stayed for a longer term
stayed despite of all the great inconveniences of our
limited space. Since the contents of the book composed
of unprecedented and special events, we have attracted
many different types of people. Some people have come in
doubt. Some have come fervently desiring the blessing
while some have come to quarrel with us. They want to
quarrel whether our experiences were biblical or not.
Many people who had visited were already gifted. Some
people condemned us as a cult. Some asked if they could
participate with our ministry and so forth. I think
thousands have visited.
It didn’t matter what type of people came. I led all the
services with care and treated them all with dignity. I
had opened my mind to whoever visited our church and I
treated them as if they were part of the family of the
Lord’s Church. Each one of them participated in our
prayer rally with one mind. I am very grateful to those
had visited the Lord’s Church.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)
As the day passes, many more people began to visit the
Lord’s Church. They were not only from within Korea but
we were getting visitors from USA, Germany, Japan,
China, and even from the Middle East. As we all prayed
in unison for the course of our church, our prayers
began to radiate light.
I beseeched the Lord, “My beloved Lord, we give worship
and service to you on a daily basis and we are pleasing
you. But since the space of the church is so small and
limited, we are not able to perform the ministry you
desire. Please permit us to procure a larger spaced
building now.” The Lord finally answered, “Very well. Go
ahead and seek a larger spaced building.” However, He
did not give us specific instructions or directions for
the location. Our church members and I specifically
prayed for what we desired and needed for the new church
building. We looked for a building that would be large
enough to provide the necessary offices and various
rooms for different purposes and venues. We desired to
have a intercessory prayer room, a discipline room,
guest rooms for either men and/or women, separate wash
rooms, a library, a broadcasting room, a dining room,
kitchen, at least five private prayer rooms, the main
sanctuary, a nursing room, and etc. I officially
announced the task to look for a new church building. I
provided the information to the church members and asked
them to assist in looking for our desired building. I
told them to seek a building size with at least 1423
square feet or more. We began our search on the west
side of In Cheon.
However, with all the desired rooms we had listed and to
equip and facilitate our requirements would require a
building of at least 3559 square feet. We did not have
any money but we were determined with our goal. All the
church members asked, “Pastor! A building that large
will cost a lot! How will you make this happen?” The
church members worried as anybody else, they were
concerned with the facts of our situation and the vision
to have a new church in faith. However, they continued
to follow and trust my lead. Most of the people of the
Lord’s Church were newly registered members.
We the members of the Lord’s Church did not isolate
ourselves among the outside world. We were more than
willing to share our testimonies and revelations from
the Lord. We decided to internationalize and accommodate
the people who would come visit our church. We were
willing to open our church to any and all who wanted to
be blessed. We desired our brothers and sisters from
other areas to experience what we were experiencing. As
a result, we decided to move close to the international
airport as close as possible.
We searched for a building with a minimum size of 1423
square feet and then up to 2850 , 3600, 5338, 7118, and
8185 square feet. We gradually increased the size of
space but the landlords of each building we looked at
rejected us. They did not want to lease to a church. We,
therefore, started to pray more intently and powerfully.
We beseeched the Lord for a larger floor space. We were
determined in will, mind, and faith. However, as I
pressed forward, I was still a bit concerned. I thought
to myself, ‘Am I seeking too large of a goal and am I
being pretentious? Was I leading my congregation on an
absurd dream?’ As we continued to search for a new
building, the Lord allowed the landlords to deny us. The
Lord was training us. He wanted our limited small
thoughts to transform into larger thoughts. At that
time, we did not know it was God behind the scenes to
help us learn something. The Lord was already way ahead
of us. He had prepared a very large nice looking
building space. The Lord guided us to this particular
building space through various circumstances and paths.
If we press on and progress our tenacity and will toward
faith, the Lord will work for us. The Lord, Jesus, had
already considered a location of the church with
convenient transportation in mind. Jesus achieved and
fulfilled all we have been praying for, even to the
smallest detail.
We found a building that had been vacant for several
months. The building was located across the Seo Gu
district office and next to the Seo Gu fire station. The
size of the building was 9400 square feet. We instantly
thought this was the building prepared for the Lord’s
Church. Jesus told us that before we permanently move
our church close to the Yeong Jong Island InCheon
International Airport, He wanted us to settle and set a
foundation with our church and growth in Seo Gu InCheon.
We prepared ourselves to leap into our future.
The unoccupied space was located on the fifth floor. The
floor space was very large. Seven pillars spanned across
from one end to the end as they were aligned from the
center. The pillars divided into about 3600 square feet.
As soon as I saw the enormous space, I began to
immediately draw up floor plans in my head. We had
enough space to facilitate all our proposed rooms. We
had found our ideal place. I then instantly drew on the
floor with my chalk. There was enough space to
accommodate all the different rooms we had envisioned.
We could build the main sanctuary, the broadcasting
room, the nursing room, and etc. The concern for proper
bathrooms was no longer a concern for me. I was very
impressed with all this floor space. But back to
reality, we were financially poor. All we could do was
pray, there was nothing else to do except pray. Our
finances were very limited. Furthermore, we had not met
the owner of the building. In fact, we were not even
sure if the owner of the building was willing to lease
for church purposes.
One evening, on midnight at 12 AM, the members of our
church and I secretly snuck into the building of the
fifth floor and used the strategy from Jericho. We lined
up and as we walked around, we shouted, “Lord! Please
give us this place!” We prayed powerfully and cried out.
From the noise, the security officers for the building
ran upstairs in surprise. This neighborhood was occupied
by governmental offices such as the fire station, the
police station, local, and city officials. The security
officers looked blanched with concern. Moreover, there
were apartments around this building as well. “What are
all of you doing in here? Why are you shouting in this
building? You have snuck into this property? What are
you doing here? Get out this instant before we call the
police and have all of you thrown in jail!” The officer
stared at us in anger. Even after this incident, we
snuck in again three more times and cried out in prayer.
The security officers and eventually the owner of the
building hated us. Since we were not welcomed, we
thought there was no hope.
In this world, when we start all things with faith, it
is only natural that many obstacles will occur
spiritually and physically. In most cases, many people
do not like obstacles. However, we must at sometimes
face the obstacles boldly. Even though, we may be
frustrated by the negative circumstances, we must not be
afraid but continue pressing on. As we continue to do
so, we will build up immunity. With increased immunity,
we will eventually overcome all obstacles.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me. (Philippians 4:13)
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things
are possible to him that believeth. (Mark 9:23)
I later found out that the security office who continued
to chase us out was a relative to the owner of the
building. We even heard that the other tenants in the
surrounding areas told the owner of the building not to
lease to us at all cost. In fact, we heard that the
space was not to be leased to any church. We were told
that the owner would leave the space empty rather than
leasing it out to a church. When we approached the
owner, he persistently refused to lease to us. He was
very stubborn. The owner of the building rejected us six
times but on the seventh meeting and attempt, he finally
gave us the approval to lease the space. I believe this
was by the help of the Holy Spirit. But the leasing fee
and deposit was beyond our imagination. The amount of
money required totally shocked us. If we lease by paying
a deposit of $350,000, them we do not have to pay a
monthly rental fee. In Korea, rent is paid through the
interest earned by paying a large sum of deposit. The
deposit is completely returned once the lease ends. On
the other hand, if we deposit $86,000, our monthly rent
would be $2,600. Another option is to deposit $170,000
and then the monthly rent would be $1,700. The last
option is to deposit $260,000 and the monthly rent would
be $862. The administration fee would be a separate
charge and that was $5 per pyeong (35 square feet) or
$1400. If we were to include our utilities such as
electric and water, we were looking at $2500 total. This
was no joke.
We had fallen into a dilemma. Even if they were to rent
the space to us, how on earth were we to fund and afford
it? All we had in our current church building was the
remaining deposit of $2000. During this time, I was
leading a revival in the city of Su Won. While in the
revival, I prayed fervently over this matter.
“My beloved Lord, if it is really your desire for us to
locate to Seo Gu district office, please grant us
$86,000 in cash within a week! If this is so, I will
believe it to be your will for our church to obtain that
lease. I will press forward.”
All this really came to pass. God worked through someone
that was a stranger to us. This person sent us a text
message several times and then deposited a total of
$86,000 three different times into our bank account.
* The woman breaks open her alabaster jar after hearing
the voice of the Lord
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had
prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly. (2
Chronicles 29:36)
Three years ago, on January 2005, nine church members
from the Lord’s Church including my family held a
special New Year’s all night prayer rally. During the 30
days prayer rally, the members of the church had their
spiritual eyes opened by the Lord. At the same time, the
baptism by Holy Fire ignited. The Lord had commanded me
to document the ‘Baptism by Blazing Fire’ book. Our Holy
Spirit ministry became much diversified.
During that time, we were praying under extreme poor
conditions and circumstances. Our situation was
unfavorable. In order to enhance the visual effects, I
placed a projector screen and placed five prayer titles
on the screen. I led the prayer by shouting out each
prayer title from the beginning to the end. The rest of
the eight members repeated after me. Our prayer may have
appeared to look like nonsense. But the Lord performed a
miracle just as He multiplied five loaves of bread and
two fish for five thousand! In reality, I knew the five
prayer titles were very vague and I thought it was
impossible for them to materialize. Also during that
time, five of our members shouted after me just for fun.
Here are the contents of the five prayer titles.
1. Baptism by Holy Fire to the whole world
2. Grant us $430,000 so we can move to another building
or church temple.
3. Please send all nine of us on a pilgrimage
4. Please send laborers to the Lord’s Church for all
departments.
5. “Bobarubaru!” (Move us to another house (praying in
tongues)) During that period, my family was evicted onto
the streets. We prayed ignorantly as we asked God to
grant us a 1779 square feet size apartment.
We declared these prayers.
I thought in reality our prayers didn’t make much sense
but they came to pass after 2 years, in 2007. It is
simply a miracle. I made up some positive prayer lists
to cheer up the believers. I used the projection screen
just to enhance the visual effects. However, God was
really working for us behind the scenes. Even though we
received our answers, we were bewildered. In fact, we
thought a lot of money would be granted to us from the
book, ‘Baptism by Blazing Fire.’ But God’s thoughts and
our plans progressed differently.
There was a deaconess who lived in the country side. One
day, she was browsing on the internet and looking into
the site for ‘Heaven is so real.’ The main content for
this website is about Mrs. Choo Thomas and her book,
‘Heaven is so real.’ After looking into that website,
she was about to stop and turn off her computer. But
suddenly the Lord spoke to her through her ears.
“Daughter, do not quit browsing but continue to do so to
other websites!” The deaconess continued her search into
several more different websites. Then suddenly, a pop up
with an ad appeared. It read, ‘Introducing these books.’
The books were about the ‘Baptism by Blazing Fire,’
books 1 through 4. They had paperback and simplified
contents available. The Lord commanded her, “Very well,
my daughter. Now go buy these books and immediately read
them all. Understand?”
The deaconess purchased all the series, books 1 through
4. She read all the fire books in a single sitting. The
deaconess was blessed and shocked big time. The Lord
then whispered to her. “Daughter, collect all the money
you possess. You will go to the city of Seo Incheon and
to the Lord’s Church to give them the money. All you
have was prepared for this situation. From this moment
forward, you must also attend the Lord’s Church.” The
deaconess replied, “Lord, I want to attend the mega
church in Seoul which is famous for prophesying rather
than the Lord’s Church. Why are you asking me to attend
the Lord’s Church? Why are you telling me to give my
money away to them?” After the deaconess had asked, the
Lord said that the church in Seoul already had many
people and is a wealthy church. Pastor Kim, Yong Doo at
the Lord’s Church embraces all the people who are in
poverty and in difficult situations. The Lord further
said to the deaconess that she was to assist the Lord’s
Church financially and in servitude.
The Lord had commanded the deaconess to assist in all of
our funding requirements. Through her, God provided the
funds to move to the new church building, funds to the
church members needing financial assistance, and even
our pilgrimage trip. Jesus had already prepared to cover
the expenses that were needed for the move through the
unknown deaconess. Additional funding was covered by
other special Christians throughout the country. The
Lord had mentioned the pilgrimage trip to the deaconess.
“Daughter, send the members of the Lord’s Church on a
trip! You are not to plan the trip but ask Pastor Kim
before any plans are made. When you ask Pastor Kim, you
will know my will.”
The deaconess complained and said, “Why Lord? All the
members in the Lord’s Church have their spiritual eyes
opened. They are able to travel to heaven and hell
during prayer. There is no reason for them to go
physically on a special pilgrimage. Right, Lord?" The
Lord answered, “Spirituality is spirituality, flesh is
flesh. Traveling in the physical realm is also required.
Therefore, my daughter, you must be a direct participant
in this plan. They are not to worry about how they will
travel and pay for their trip. You must send them! You
are responsible to take care of their meals. Make sure
their meals, sleeping arrangements, and accommodations
are good quality. Prepare their travel with a meal plan.
You are also to provide the cost for passports, luggage,
and small cross shoulder bags.”
After I had heard the deaconess’s story, I was greatly
shocked by the tremendous consideration by the Lord. I
stood wordless and mindless for a moment. My wife and I
had never had a chance to go on a honeymoon. In fact, we
have never been on an airplane. We could never have
dreamt of ever traveling on a romantic trip. I was
speechless and in great awe with the Lord. I was in a
daze. Then suddenly, I was overwhelmed by emotion that I
could not express. My heart started to beat rapidly. I
was almost able to hear my heart gradually race faster.
No matter how much I tried to calm myself down, it was
not easy.
January 2005 was the time when our church members and I
began to awaken spiritually. We were also cold and
literally hungry. That winter was very cold and we were
basically in a basement church about 711 square feet
size. Nine of us began our prayer crying out under
extreme poor circumstances. It is now three years later.
When I now reminisce about those days, it is only a hazy
memory.
During that time, with fuel that depleted quite some
time ago, in cold conditions, we restlessly and
desperately fought with the forces of the devil and the
evil spirits which seemed endless. We fought in extreme
conditions with temperatures dropping below 15 degrees.
We had nothing to eat. In hunger, we fought against the
evil spirits and the demons during prayer. We did not
know why they were coming against us. We did not know
their purpose. As we breathed warm air onto our hands to
keep warm, we faced and fought the evil spirits
relentlessly. We were starving and we were shivering
from the cold. The only thing we knew and had was our
prayers. We could not even take warm showers or properly
wash ourselves. Most of the time, we were only able to
eat one meal a day and that was usually rice balls.
At that time, all nine of us including myself were
focused on praying. Praying was our hope and we wanted
to meet Jesus. Whenever we prayed, we were always
engaging in almost a fist fight with the groups of evil
spirits. We had many battles and eventually we became
tired and sick. But in 2007, the Lord answered all of
our prayers simultaneously. When I think about it, I am
still flabbergasted. I am filled with so much emotion
when I think of what the Lord had granted me. I quietly
and ceaselessly stream tears of joy. The good news
brought a joyous event to the original nine church
members and to the new members who had entered after.
Our situation proves how prayer is strong and powerful.
We gave all the glory to the Lord.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by
Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.
Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
Planning the pilgrimage trip created another new problem
for me. The Lord wanted the original nine church members
who had prayed throughout the 30 day prayer rally to
attend the trip. But some new members who had
participated at a later time wished they could go on the
pilgrimage as well. I had become very stressed for a
while over this dilemma. As we tried to decide, several
months had passed and during this time the deaconess had
dedicated $260,000 for the lease of the new building.
The contract had been completed. We had been dreaming a
ministry for the Lord in a larger building. Now, our
dream had been accomplished with a 9400 square feet
sized building.
The space was so large it appeared the cost for interior
design would be enormous. We had originally decided to
install zinc panels which were produced with Styrofoam.
However, the Lord said, “Pastor Kim, even though this
building is not your own, the Church is my body.
Therefore, properly equip the interior. I will provide
you with enough funds.” When it comes to decorating the
temple of God, He would not be pleased with shabby
materials or work. The Lord strongly persuaded us to
decorate the interior thoroughly with elegance and
beauty. Whenever we were short of funds during
construction, the Lord had always provided us in the
tens of thousands. When it came to funding issues, I was
always anxious but money was unexpectedly provided. The
Lord was always prepared and a step ahead of us.
The stages of church construction and preparing for the
pilgrimage trip went smoothly. We accomplished both with
much blessing. The husband of the deaconess who had
financed us was in the business of debentures. I was
curious to wonder what channels she was utilizing to
fund the needs of the Lord’s Church. Regardless, the
deaconess quickly worked out the proper procedure and
channels to fund. It appeared the Lord had given her a
powerful message. However, she could not fund the
complete project.
God filled the deficiency of funds through various
people who were touched and impressed with the five fire
books. Of course, it was God who had touched them
throughout the country. These people supported us
financially and with their prayers. God also had the
Lord’s Church contribute funding and prayer. As the Lord
powerfully intervened, the construction work progressed
smoothly like flowing water. There were no problems and
we did not incur any additional debts from the
construction. We stayed within budget. The aggregate
cost for everything at the end was $450,000.
All activities within the Lord’s Church are done freely
with a joyous heart and in happiness. We will continue
in this way. Everything is done with self determination.
There is no demand on anybody. There is no pressure to
give special offerings or any other valuable goods.
Everything is done voluntarily. The funds for the new
building were provided without discordance or
interference. God had completely prepared the way and it
totally amazed us. We had especially devoted much prayer
time for the interior designer. God had prepared a
special interior designer who was like Bezalel.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, See, I have
called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur,
of the tribe of Judah: And I have filled him with the
spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in
knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, To devise
cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in
brass, And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in
carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all
that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may
make all that I have commanded thee; (Exodus 31:1-6)
Someone had recommended an interior designer to us. The
interior designer was a deacon from another church. His
name was Kim, Sung Jong. He was also working in other
related fields. He was known for providing his services
pro bono for newly established churches with interior
construction cost of under $3,000. Regardless, with his
low rates, the total cost can be kept low. Many interior
designers had come to assess the plans but I was not
interested in anyone else. After I had met with Deacon
Kim, Sung Jong, I had a strong feeling. “This is the
one!”
Deacon Kim, Sung Jong had attended the all night prayer
service daily. As he worked on the new building, he
worked in joy. He then received the gift of tongue,
prophecy, and other gifts as well. He eventually became
part of the family of the Lord’s Church. God had given
him a bonus of gifts. God also let him work on the
construction of the church temple with a joyous heart.
How amazing is that?
After the Lord had moved us out completely into the new
church temple the Lord had us relax our minds so that we
would start with a new mind set. A new mind set at the
new location. Our prayers refreshed and we were ready
for the new spiritual battle. It had been the long
cherished desired answer by all the church members. The
main sanctuary is 4270 square feet and we have a dining
area, kitchen, rooms for men and women, a shower room,
five private prayer rooms, disciple room, an
intercessory prayer room, a broadcasting room, a library
room, a furnished storeroom, separate bathrooms, an
office, and etc. The Lord had prepared the perfect
rooms. Now we can shout without concerning the
neighbors, we had sound proof walls. Moreover, any
visitor can come and rest as they attend the all year
evening prayer meeting. The church was no longer lacking
in anything or deficient. We were now ready as a prayer
house or a full structured church.
* The Lord answered our prayer!
I have always wondered how the Lord views the
construction of the churches in Korea. I wondered how He
would answer my question in this matter. I have a
question to ask and the reason I wish to ask is because
I have an impulse to build a large church. It is natural
for any pastor to build a larger church as their numbers
grow. When a church is built, many variables and factors
are considered based on the vision of the pastor and
their faith. In some instances, we have witnessed many
pastors build very large church buildings and generally
the size is bigger than required and is built beyond
expectation. One reason for this mistake is the pastor’s
ambition. It is their ambition to accomplish something
like this during their life time. The exterior of their
churches are built enormously and with boastful dignity.
However, in reality, they continuously suffer from heavy
debt and interest. Moreover, their church members
participate in the continuous debt through co signing
these large projects. They all end up living in poverty.
Jesus said, “The excessive self vanity of pastors to
show off combined with their religious philosophy has
resulted in mistakes and side effects. I feel sorry for
the church members who are trying to clean up their
mess.” The Lord added that these churches will continue
to live a taxing life after their extreme decisions. I
replied to the Lord, “But Lord, what if a person
contributed heavily for the construction of the church,
will he/she be blessed as much? This is correct?” The
Lord answered, “But still, one must perform wisely. They
must build within their means!”
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as
a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and
another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed
how he buildeth thereupon. (1 Corinthians 3:10)
I asked the Lord, “My beloved Lord, we have done nothing
for you. How is it possible that you have blessed us by
moving us into a larger spaced building? You have even
prepared our pilgrimage trip. We are very grateful for
your grace!” The Lord then laughed out loud and spoke to
me.
“Hahahaha! What are you talking about Pastor Kim! Do you
even know how much you have made the Father, the Holy
Spirit, and I delightful? You and the Lord’s Church have
prayed all throughout the night and have made Me so
happy. I want to grant you a wonderful gift. How is
that? Are you joyous?”
As I listened, stream of tears flowed down my cheeks. I
said, “Yes, Lord! Thank you!” The Lord continued to
speak with his soft and warm voice.
“Do not change, even to the end. Always please Father,
the Holy Spirit, and I. You have experienced a difficult
life so that you may go through the spiritual battles. I
want to relieve of your fatigue by providing a
pilgrimage trip. I will personally go on the pilgrimage
trip with you. Let us go together! One more thing, from
this moment forward, you will experience spiritual
battles in a new dimension. Therefore, you must firmly
prepare and arm yourself! Understood?”
Since the Lord mentioned spiritual warfare again, I
became tensed. I thought to myself, ‘Now, is the Lord
planning to extend the spiritual strategy
internationally?” The Lord was now planning a new
spiritual strategy. He commanded us to be prepared and
ready to jump in. We were to prepare ourselves. The
preparation is to read God’s Word and pray. However, the
Lord’s strategy and tactic was for us to win some
battles and be defeated by the evil spirits in some
battles as well. He desired to make us matured battle
harden generals. I had somewhat known this already.
During the construction stages of the interior for the
new leased building, we all excitingly prepared over the
pilgrimage trip. This was a historic trip ever in
history for the Lord’s Church. The Lord had
systematically put all things together so that after
completing the construction in June 2007 and moving into
the new building, we were able to make our pilgrimage
trip.
Nevertheless, I was deeply troubled by the number of
people participating in the pilgrimage trip. I did not
know what to do since all the church members were
competing over one another for the trip. I had no choice
but to select the first fifteen people who had
registered first with our church. However, I felt bad
since there were many new members who had registered
within one or two days of each other. But I had no
choice, I had to omit some from the list but they did
not give up in competing for the trip. They did not give
up until the end. “Lord, I also want to go on the
pilgrimage trip! Please send me!” They prayed in a
unanimous voice.
As I witnessed the pilgrimage trip unfold, I was
troubled. The expense for our trip was not progressing
easily. The funds for the trip was being relied by an
unknown deaconess. Being aware of that, I felt sorry and
uneasy. But suddenly, the deaconess called me. “Oh,
Pastor Kim! Why are you worrying so much over your
pilgrimage trip? It is a very simple matter. Just take
the original nine members. Why are you troubled so
much?” I could not say anything. I just listened to her.
At a later time, the deaconess had told me what the Lord
had commanded her to do. “Daughter, what are you going
to do since my servant Pastor Kim is in so much trouble?
Add several more people to the list so that my servant
does not have to worry anymore.”
At the end, fifteen were confirmed to go on the trip.
However, now, the other new members begged me. “Pastor!
Although I have been here for only a short time, I still
would like to go. Send me! Please?” The remaining
members who were not able to go on the trip desperately
prayed. They prayed to go on the trip. They even
resorted to pitifully beg and cling on me. I was once
again troubled. “Lord, what do you want me to do? Should
I not go?” As I worried, the deaconess called once
again. “Oh, Pastor Kim, what has happened?” The
deaconess told me that the Lord had once again commanded
her. “My daughter, My servant is in trouble again.
Therefore, add the remnant members for the trip.”
Now there were twenty members confirmed. Then it
happened again. As I continued to worry, the Lord spoke
to the deaconess. “Daughter, there are still more
members that need to go on the trip.” The deaconess
complained and pleaded, “Oh, Pastor Kim, what on earth
is the number of people that you are taking on your
pilgrimage trip?” I replied, “Well, if it is possible, I
want to take all the church members with me. But since I
am not able too, I will just take several more.” At the
end, we had a total of twenty five people making the
pilgrimage trip. This was all done through the Lord’s
amazing grace.
The deaconess said as she laughed out loud, “Pastor, do
not worry! Since you worry too much, the Lord had still
come to me even though I was busy and exhausted.” The
Lord said to me, “Daughter, even though I know you are
very exhausted, do you have any idea what difficulties
my servant Pastor Kim has experienced? He is very
exhausted as well. Pastor Kim is dragged to hell on a
daily basis. During the evening, his soul is brutally
torn apart in hell. He is in unimaginable pain. The pain
is physically as well. Therefore, I do not desire Pastor
Kim to be concerned about this matter. Pastor Kim is
directly experiencing the torments of hell so that he
can warn others. He is on a mission to prevent people
from going to hell. My daughter, I am asking you to take
care of all of his financial obligations and the
preparations for the pilgrimage trip. I do not desire
for him to worry.”
Eventually, the deaconess labored and self sacrificed
herself. She devoted herself to make our trip a reality.
She took care of all the important matters to the
trivial. The preparations for the pilgrimage trip were
completed. We were to stay in five star hotels from
Israel, Jordan, to Egypt. I heard we were going to
obtain a high class limo service. We were to get a
personal bus. It was a bus filled with luxurious
amenities. The country only had two buses of that kind.
I was so grateful. I expressed my gratitude with tears.
The pilgrimage trip and the move to the new church
building are results of beautiful fruits. The fruits
were made possible through a devoted self sacrificed
anonymous deaconess and through many believers.
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the
gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons
thanks may be given by many on our behalf. (2
Corinthians 1:11)
* Our pilgrimage trip accompanied by Jesus
The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of
the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the
sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Remember all
thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfill all
thy counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in
the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD
fulfill all thy petitions. Now know I that the LORD
saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy
heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some
trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
remember the name of the LORD our God. (Psalms 20:1-7)
The Lord’s Church gradually revived and grew through the
great work of our living God. Our pilgrimage trip
progressed as planed. A festival atmosphere was in the
air. Some of the church members who were not able to
attend the trip were sad for a long time. “If I only
knew, I would have come earlier. I would have registered
my name sooner. I had been attending the church
unofficially, not having registered. I postponed my
registration from day one. Now, I am not able to go on
the pilgrimage trip. I had registered late.”
I made sure a certain brother had made the pilgrimage
list. He used to live and sleep on the park bench. He
was greatly delighted. The brother was so impressed and
happy. He said that he had never thought the pastor
would think of taking him. The anonymous deaconess took
care of the all the necessary arrangements for the trip.
I did not have to worry a thing for the trip. I will
never forget her diligent effort and dedication. I will
always remember it throughout my life.
Jesus with great affection had pressed this pilgrimage
trip to move forward. The Lord told the president of the
travel agency to read the book, ‘Baptism of Blazing
Fire.’ The deaconess had asked the president of the
travel agency to prepare some of the travel
arrangements. She asked him to make this trip a priority
and treat it as VIPs. The trip would be accompanied by
the members or characters from the fire book. However,
this trip is special because Trinity God would be
accompanying the church members.
On the last week of June 2007, we completed the
construction of the interior for the church building. On
July 9, 2007, the members of the Lord’s Church had a
farewell service and after church we went home to pack
our luggage. We rode a bus to the airport. The Lord also
had four bags and He was accompanied by angels. “Saints
of the Lord’s Church, I will accompany you on the
pilgrimage trip. What do you think? Are you all happy
and excited?” We all gladly replied, “Amen!”
At 8 PM we boarded on Korean Airline KE951. We were now
on a plane flying toward the Promised Land. We had
longed and dreamed for this moment. This was a life long
dream and was pretty much impossible but now a reality.
My wife, Joseph, Joo Eun, Haak Sung, the some of the
other members and I were on a plane for the first time
in our lives. We were overflowing with excitement and
emotions. We all shouted unanimously and continuously,
“Hallelujah! Lord, Thank you!” My wife and I looked at
each other and repeated. “How come the Lord loves us so
much?” We were joyfully crying. Streams of tears ran
down our faces. We were not aware of the Lord who had
already joined us. He was sitting on our laps. “That is
right, my beloved Pastor Kim and Saint Hyun Ja! You know
I love you both very much. It is I who want to thank you
for enduring many difficulties and suffering. Endure and
labor even more from here after. There will still be
many more difficulties ahead of you. When you face the
difficulties in the future, I will expect you to endure.
I love you.” As the Lord spoke, He patted and caressed
our heads. He then rubbed His face against ours.
During our flight, I thought to myself, ‘Ah, I don’t
think the Lord will take me to hell during the
pilgrimage trip.’ I was excited and joyous. ‘I am very
sure He will not take me during the pilgrimage trip.
Hmmm, will He?’ I think my church crew was sensing what
was on my mind. They all comforted me by stating,
“Pastor Kim, you must be very happy. The Lord will
definitely not take you to hell during our trip.”
The trip had been approved and ordered by the Lord. We
pressed forward in the path of faith. We were on a
vacation package trip. Coincidently, it was called the
Exodus package, 10 nights and 11 days. The pilgrimage
trip would take us around Israel, Jordon, and Egypt. We
would be touring the place where Jesus had been born. We
would also visit Galilee where the early Christians
operated and other hot spots such as where the old and
New Testament prophets and disciples performed their
work. But when we arrived at the sights, we were
disappointed. The sights were not what we had imagined.
Most of the places reminded me of a Buddhist temple. It
had become a place for a den of evil spirits and
thieves. The demons were running wild and amok. In fact,
it appeared the demons were enjoying their residence.
Furthermore, wherever we went, there were numerous
candles everywhere. It reminded me of the Buddhists and
their temple and candles. The places were filled with
burning incense and the areas were overflowing with
merchants and vendors. I needed the Holy lash or whip to
cast out the evilness.
As we arrived to the locations, we were attacked. The
evil spirits attacked us in groups. However, throughout
each location, we powerfully cried out in prayer and
engaged the evil spirits. We were not going to be
defeated. And on the other hand, we were actually very
refreshed as we visited the strange surrounding areas.
It was exciting to be on foreign soil. We were able to
experience all this through the Lord’s grace. Our group
visited three countries, Israel, Jordon, and Egypt. Once
we arrived on foreign soil, we naturally became more
patriotic. Our mind and thoughts were of our country. I
had once heard someone telling me that when one leaves
his/her country, it is natural to sense patriotism
toward their home country. That sounded correct and our
mentality gradually became one.
It has been 22 years since my wife and I had married.
But we had never traveled together outside or inside our
country on vacation. In fact, we had never been on a
honeymoon. On our stay in Israel, during our time in the
five star hotel, we secretly held our hands together and
took a walk. We held hands when the other church members
were not watching. It has been a very long time since we
had time for one another. As we held hands, we were very
nervous. We were afraid a church member might see us.
Our hearts rapidly raced. We looked at each other and
laughed out loud. Our children, Joseph (senior in high
school) and Joo Eun (sophomore in high school) sensed
that we wanted to be alone and gave us our space. “Dad!
Mom! You have been through so many difficulties. We will
let you spend some time together. Hold your hands. We
love you!”
All the years of pain, discipline, and trials were now
fading away. The memory and circumstances of that time
was of continuous sorrows and trials. It was now all
fading away like a page on a book to be flipped.
Hallelujah! Lord, Thank you!
“Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks
at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger
endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may
endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou
hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and
not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto
thee for ever. (Psalms 30:4-5, 11-12)
Before we had departed on our pilgrimage trip, a staff
member from the travel agency had visited the Lord’s
Church to educate and advise us. Of all the materials we
were to review, there was one very important thing that
we had to engrave in our minds. The travel agent said
that the Middle Eastern, Western, and European folks
hate the odor of dried or roasted squid. The travel
agent advised us not to bring squid. The agent told us
to eat as much here before we left.
Nevertheless, people tend to do the opposite of what
they are told. It doesn’t matter if they are children or
adults. Our church members who attended the pilgrimage
trip created a problem. Our church members had secretly
brought dried squid. As we rode the tour bus for Israel,
Jordan, and Egypt, they took the squid out and snacked
on them. The odor of the squid filled the inside of the
bus. During that time, the windows of the bus were
closed tightly. All the church members had secretly
brought various dried squid. Only my wife and I had
complied and followed the advice of the travel agent.
Some of the Muslims in the Middle East are aware of
scripture in the Bible. They consider fish without
scales to be unclean. They especially despise squid
because of the smell. The Middle Eastern bus driver had
got a whiff of it.
The bus driver looked disgusted from the scent of the
squids. As I observed the expression on his face, I
noticed it to be contorted. It appeared as though the
bus driver considered the odor of squid to be of the
stench of feet. He grasped his nose and shook his face
continuously from side to side. “Oh no!” He then opened
his window and attempted to air out the bus.
I gave the church members a look with my eyes to put the
squid away. Instead, they replied, “Why? You know how
good this squid is. Why would you want us to put it
away? Pastor, come join us and have some with us.” Oh,
Korean people are so stubborn wherever they go. Even
though I told them to put it away, I still snuck some
for myself. At the end of the bus sat a policeman in
plain clothes. This police officer was accompanying us
on our tour. He was our security.
Our pilgrimage trip/tour did not have any problems or
inconveniences. With the help of the deaconess and the
staff from the travel agency, everything was
thoughtfully prepared. We had truly experienced new and
different places and events. There were many funny
episodes, especially with the body odor or armpits of
the locals. We were not pleased with their body odors
just as they were not pleased with the smell of our food
such as garlic and squid. It was most difficult when it
came to the odor from their armpits. It was very hard
for us to endure.
During our pilgrimage, the accommodation was of a five
star hotel. It was the cream of the crop for that area.
The food was great as well. We always had a high quality
grade buffet. The presentation of the buffet was
beautiful and it all looked very delicious. Our mouths
were literally watering. But the food on display was not
of any I recognized. I was not able to eat any of it. I
could not even eat any of the fruits. I could not eat
because all of the food in the buffet had a particular
smell. The particular smell was on all the food
including the fruits. I attempted to eat by pinching my
nose but I failed to eat each time.
But just in time, some of the church members brought
canned side dishes from Korea. I then ate off their
food. I was very hungry. The Korean food tasted so good.
I later found out that the unique or particular smell
from their bodies is a spice. This spice is used in
their food. They sprinkle the spices on their rice. It
is almost like how the Korean people use salt and hot
pepper paste when preparing our dishes. It seemed that
it was just our group that was not aware of their
particular spices. These spices are considered an
intimate part of the Middle Eastern culture. This
pilgrimage tour was a good opportunity for us to
experience the traditional food culture of other foreign
countries. We realized that it was not so easy to
overcome the food culture.
Some of the church members and Joseph had quickly
adapted to the food. They were eating very well.
“Pastor, try one more time. It is good.” Now, I am
reconsidering what the Korean missionary teams must be
experiencing. They have left Korea to enter strange
foreign lands to preach the gospel. They have overcome
various cultural issues including the food. I can not
ignore the feeling of how great they are to have
sacrificed themselves.
I once heard a story from Brother Kwon, Pal Kyu and
Sister Shin, Jae Lan who are living in the United States
of America. This story occurred on campus when they
happened to be college students. The Korean students
were bullied by the local American college students. The
Korean students were somewhat weak in power. The Korean
students lost their patience and to get back at the
local students, they brought dried squid. They ate the
dried squid in front of the bullies. The bullies ran
from the smell of the squid. Anyway, despite of the
warning by the travel agent not to bring dried squid,
the church members ate squid up to the last day of the
tour. The stories that have resulted from eating dried
squid from our trip have surfaced many times. They are
stories that will be repeatedly told for a long time.
During the day, on our pilgrimage trip, we followed the
road of Exodus. However, we had a constant battle with
each of the region’s principality god for ten days.
Among all of the events and experiences, there is one
event that will dwell in our memories forever. Including
our tour guide, we all were under the powerful presence
of the Holy Spirit and His powerful anointing. We all
cried out and prayed in the ancient places of Jerusalem,
Galilee, and the other places where Jesus and His
disciples had once walked or stayed. The Holy Spirit’s
energy, hot fire, and anointing were baptized on us
including the tour guide. We were granted the baptism
with the Holy Blazing Fire. The tour guide who had
traveled with us to various places fell on his back and
onto the ground. Trinity God was accompanying us
everyday and taking care of all meticulous matters. The
tour guide testified that this was the first time in all
of his tours where he had experienced the most powerful
presence of the Holy Spirit. And the tour guide had
taken many pilgrimage tours with other people throughout
his career.
Later when I have an opportunity, I will plan to
meticulously document the spiritual phenomenon that was
shown to me during the Exodus pilgrimage trip. Our ten
day pilgrimage trip accompanied by Jesus in the year
2007 was now ending. However, many incidents and trials
were awaiting me.
With the conclusion of the pilgrimage tour, we spent the
last night in Egypt at the best class hotel. It was
called the ‘Cairo International Continental Hotel.’
After this night, we depart to Korea early in the
morning. I thought to myself, ‘With the pilgrimage tour
ending, perhaps, the Lord will start taking me back to
hell once again.’ I was very nervous. Suddenly, the Lord
appeared and spoke to me.
“My beloved Pastor Kim!” I replied, “Yes, Lord!” The
Lord asked, “How was your trip? Wasn’t it nice? Anyway,
we are behind schedule. We will be going back to hell
now that the trip is completed. Prepare yourself!”
I cried out, “What, again Lord? Please give me a little
more time! Oh, wait Lord!”
I knew it was time and I was not admitting to the facts.
The Lord then instantly led me to hell before I was able
to argue with Him. As I walked through the hotel lobby
and into the hall before my room, I fell. With
difficulty, my wife assisted me to our room. As soon as
she helped me on to the bed, I screamed out very loud. I
tumbled over the bed and then on to the floor. The pain
of hell shrieked through my whole body. The next
morning, I packed our belongings with much pain. I could
barely move. All my joints and most of my body was
aching and in pain. With the help of my wife and the
youth group, I was able to board the airplane. They
helped me to my seat.
I thought to myself, ‘Surely not here. There are too
many people on the airplane and the flight is 15 hours.
The Lord will not take me to hell from here. It is a
full flight.’ The Lord then spoke to me. “Pastor Kim, we
are behind schedule. Let us quickly go to hell!” He
pulled my hand and I sullenly replied, “What! Lord?
Here? The airplane is full, the area is narrow and the
space is limited. How? How can I go to hell under these
conditions? Lord, do you not think this is too much?”
Jesus answered, “No, this is fine. I have already
prepared to take you to hell. I have prepared some extra
seats for you. Pastor Kim, do not worry about the narrow
seats. If you do not believe me, ask your wife to ask
the stewardess if there are any empty seats available.”
In that instance, I fell to the floor aisle of the
plane. I tried to limit my moaning since there were so
many people on the plane. I attempted to keep silent
while in pain.
There were many Korean people flying back to Korea. All
the tickets were sold out. My wife returned to seat down
and said to me, “Pastor, it is really unusual! All the
seats are sold out but the Lord somehow has made the
last row of four seats to be empty. You can lay down
there, hallelujah!” As I saw my wife amazed, I thought
to myself, ‘What! She is shouting hallelujah? Of course,
it’s not her who is going to hell. It is me! How can the
Lord take me to hell on an airplane?’ But I still
thanked the Lord for His great consideration.
Suddenly, my prayer changed to gratitude. “Lord, who am
I to be so concerned? I am only a sinner! Lord, what am
I but only a sinner.” Although I was repeatedly going
back to hell, I was grateful for the Lord’s help. I
unceasingly cried with much tears. Our group returned
safely back to Korea with the Lord’s special care.
Hallelujah! Lord, Thank You!
* Spiritual Warfare during the pilgrimage trip
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if
need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold
temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much
more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be
tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour
and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to
the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at
the revelation of Jesus Christ; (1 Peter 1:6-7, 13)
Before the trip and as we prepared for the pilgrimage,
the evil spirits intervened in various ways. The evil
spirits worked through some of the members’ dreams,
particularly the ones who were attending the pilgrimage.
satan was also able to use some people to give incorrect
advice to the members attending the trip. In fact, some
members with weak faith gave up on attending the
pilgrimage trip even as they were in the middle of
preparing their trip. The people who gave bad advice
were people who claimed to have opened spiritual eyes
and were fervent prayer warriors. They placed fear into
the weaker brethrens as they spoke about plane crashes
and terrorists. The members who with a weak faith
cancelled and back out as they became anxious about
their personal safety.
Until the day we departed, there was endless quarreling
between those who were attending and those who were not
attending the trip. We even had a strange incident with
the deacon who was in charge of the interior designing.
He almost died. The deacon’s tongue rolled backward and
it caused him to suffocate. I was anxious and sweating
throughout all the quarreling incidents until I
departed. Moreover¸ the night before we departed, I was
taken to the bottom of hell and my soul was brutally
torn. I was able to feel the pain vividly on my physical
body.
If one has a special faith, he/she will have to endure
special tests and trials. A person with an extraordinary
life of faith will have to go through special
circumstances of trials and tests. God had an enormous
amount of affection toward the righteous man, Job. As a
result, God had accepted satan’s proposition. God wanted
to test Job’s thoughts, character, and especially his
free will of faith in God. The story of Job also reveals
to us that God knew how far Job’s state of perseverance
would last or go.
There are many characters and stories in the bible that
reflect a similar rite of passage that Job experiences.
They are all over the bible. From my perspective and
opinion, it appears that our church is progressing and
reflecting many of those stories in the bible. We are
realizing this either directly or indirectly. The church
members and I have always desired to be used by God in a
unique way.
The Lord’s Church has frequently been put through many
different tests. It did not matter whether we were
holding a personal or group revival service. The various
places were met with big trials and tests. Therefore, I
had to heavily arm the members with prayer. Despite of
heavy armed prayer, some of the members were defeated
and some were victorious over their tests. This
pilgrimage trip is no exception. In heaven, there are
taxis, buses, trains, motorcycles, helicopters, tanks,
and other vessels with offensive weapons such as
submarines. On this trip, the Lord protected us by
personally accompanying us and by bringing the vehicles
of heaven.
The people who had their eyes spiritually opened had
frequently witnessed the supernatural events and
reported them to me.
At the same time, the forces of evil had also summoned
their colleagues to confront us. They continued to
harass and follow us. But since Jesus had always
accompanied us, the evil spirits were not able to
approach us very closely.
The Lord however had occasionally allowed the evil
forces to attack us. Whenever that happened, some of the
members fell to the ground and became severely ill. They
were met with conditions of awful vomiting and body
aches. It was a rude awakening for all of us. We had
encountered a new international dimensional spiritual
warfare.
During our flight, thousands of angels flew close to our
airplane. They flew in a formation, in the shape of a
‘V’. The forces of the devil also gathered closely near
the airplane from all directions. The evil spirits were
repeatedly gathering and scattering like bees. The
number of evil spirits was numerous as the sand on a
beach.
They were piled up numerously a high as a mountain. The
airplane unknowingly flew through them. It turned out
that the spiritual warfare in the foreign countries was
just as if not more serious.
Our church members with curiosity and excitement went on
sight seeing tours during the day time during our
pilgrimage trip. However, I as the leader had to lead
the spiritual warfare. Whenever it became evening, I
became tenser. Nevertheless, the subordinates of the
devil would still attack me whether it was day or night.
I would be attacked in the restaurants, the hotel, the
swimming pool area, or in the bus.
* The principality that oversees Egypt
We departed on July 9th and arrived in Egypt on the next
day. Once we arrived, a sight seeing tour was set up to
view the National Museum, the pyramids, and the sphinx.
Our first night was spent in a hotel located under Mt.
Sinai. Joseph and several members were already being
attacked by the forces of evil. With Joseph, he told us
that he was verbally abused. They said, “That 5^@#%!,
why have they come here?” The attack happened while we
were sight seeing the three tourist areas, the National
Museum, the pyramids, and the sphinx. Since Joseph was
unprepared, he was struck in the head. He said that his
head felt like it had been cracked. He was in unbearable
pain. Jesus then instantly appeared and applied His
blood over Joseph’s head. Joseph gradually became better
and healed.
I went to bed at 10:30 PM since we had an early morning
mountain climbing trip. But I could not sleep. I kept
tossing and turning. Since I could not sleep, I thought
about the main characters in the Exodus event. I was
then suddenly attacked by the principality of Egypt and
by the evil spirits from Mt. Sinai. The evil spirits of
Egypt were aided by the evil spirits that had followed
us from Korea. I was very startled and appalled by the
voices and the freakish laughter of the evil spirits,
“HEHEHAHAUHUH.” My wife who was sleeping next to me was
already snoring and in her deep sleep. She was very
tired from the trip.
I felt awkward and strange since the Lord was not in my
sight. I could not even feel His presence in this
critical moment. The offensive weapons that I had been
granted by the Lord were all taken away. Usually, when
other believers are attacked by the devil, the Lord
assists by granting them more weapons. Now, I wondered
why God is allowing me to be helplessly beaten up again.
I am sometimes sad of this fact. I am sad because I am
placed in these spiritual situations and in need of
critical help. But what can I do? This is the will of
the Lord.
“I am the principality god of Egypt! I am glad to be
confronting you! You will taste pain! @#$#@#%!” The
demon prince then made a sudden attack on my calves.
Both my calves became paralyzed. I did not even have a
minute to defend myself. I instantly fell to the floor
and tumbled around screaming. I was not able to
ascertain which demon or evil spirits were attacking me
anymore. The pain was unbearable.
I shouted, “Which one of you is attacking me?” I saw a
huge evil spirit, the size of a mountain in front of my
eyes. He looked like a gypsy, unkempt and shabby. His
hair was long and messy. The evil spirit gypsy insanely
ran wild as he bawled and squalled.
“Why have you come here? @%#@! Who do you think you are?
Have you come all this way to torment us?” They all then
attacked me. The evil spirits had poisoned my calves and
the poison was gradually spreading throughout my body.
As the demons saw me in pain, they rejoiced, “Hahahaha!
This one turns out to be nothing, not even a close
match! Hehehehe.” Being tormented, my wife somehow
sensed my battle and woke up from her deep sleep.
“Ah, honey?” I replied, “Oh, hurry, massage my legs! I
was just attacked by evil spirits. The poison is
gradually spreading throughout my upper body. Quickly
stop it with Holy Fire and by praying in tongue!” Lying
on the floor, I shouted out ‘Holy Fire.’ My wife then
engaged and confronted the forces of evil with enormous
Holy Fire.
“Oh, hot!” The groups of evil spirits of Egypt screamed
loudly in pain as they were met with Holy Fire. The evil
spirits became dust and instantly disappeared.
The evil spirits never give me any time to rest. It
doesn’t matter whether I am sleeping or awake. They
attack me day and night. Therefore, I am not able to let
my guard down. The groups of evil spirits relentlessly
attacked us until we departed Egypt.
* The Principality god of Israel
July 14, 2007 – We checked into the hotel located by the
lake of Galilee. As I was about to fall asleep, a very
small sized snake quietly approached me. When it reached
me, the small snake transformed itself into an enormous
golden yellow snake. The size of the snake was a large
as a mountain. The snake hissed and exposed its deadly
fangs as it drew even closer.
“You little brats, how dare you come to my region?”
It has already been two days since we had arrived in the
land of Israel. I was nervous on the inside since the
evil spirits had not confronted me to my face.
Eventually, they disclosed their true colors. The Lord
urgently appeared and spoke to me.
“Pastor Kim, this evil snake spirit is ancient. It is a
very old evil spirit. It has existed from great
antiquity. This is the same evil spirit that had tempted
my people in the wilderness. This evil spirit still
works currently in the various places of Israel with the
support of the lower rank evil spirits of lust.”
As soon as the Lord finished speaking, a different
enormous golden yellow snake attacked me. It was able to
coil around me. It appeared and looked like a dragon. I
screamed and fell to the floor from my bed. I battled
the snake tumbling around with it. I shouted, “Holy
Sword, Holy Sword!” But the Lord did not grant me the
sword. The Lord was making me fight the snake with my
bare hands. “Ah, it is too slippery!” The snake had me
coiled with its tail. I could smell an awful nasty odor.
The body of the snake was covered with a disgusting type
of oil. I was not able to get a grip of it. As I tried
to grab a hold of its body, I would lose any grip. The
snake was too slippery. I then began to vomit. “Lord,
please give me the strength!”
As the Lord watched closely, He finally granted me
something unique. I was granted a special glove worn on
my left hand. The glove was covered with a non slip
resistant material. My hand would no longer slip. In
fact, the glove helped me stick onto the body of the
snake. It was adhesive like super glue. With the glove
worn on my left hand, I used my left hand to climb up
toward the head of the monstrous snake. The golden
yellow snake with all its strength and effort attempted
to bite me. It tried to make me fall off his body. It
then sent out a strange signal to call the other snakes
of lust.
The snake I was battling had a color that looked like a
mixture of desert sand and deep mud yellow. I then saw
multiple groups of white snakes rushing toward me. From
a distance, they appeared in different forms and shapes.
The numerous snakes appeared to be filling all of the
earth and the surrounding atmosphere. But I continued to
focus on the one I was fighting. I assumed that if I
defeated this one, the rest of the lower ranked ones
would be follow suit.
Finally, the Lord granted me the strength to reach the
head of the snake. I reached the neck area of the snake.
I secured myself by sitting on its neck as if I was
sitting on a horse. I then grabbed its upper and lower
chin. I shouted, “Lord, please give me the strength!” As
I shouted with all my strength, I ripped the mouth of
the snake. Within that instant moment, the snake
screamed in torment with a roaring sound and
disappeared. My whole body was covered with sweat. I
eventually fell to the floor from exhaustion.
As I groaned in exhaustion, I was barely able to speak,
“Ahhh, Lord, Lord.” My wife approached me and said, “Oh
my, did you just experience an awful battle, in this
place? Was it difficult?” She handed me a cup of cold
water and began to massage my body. The Lord stood
silent but gave me a look of satisfaction.
I am once again greatly thankful for the fact that the
Lord did not take me to hell during the time of the
pilgrimage trip. If it wasn’t for the trip, I would have
been visiting hell each night. On the other hand, I was
still very nervous because I thought the Lord may change
His mind. Nobody knows, He may still take me to hell.
* The principality god of Jordon
July 15th, 2007, it was a Sunday and after service we
moved to the location of the pilgrimage. We toured Zoar
which was the place where Lot’s family had escaped too.
We then toured the cave where Lot and his two daughters
lived. Afterwards, we toured the land of the Ammonites,
Moabites, Gilead, and etc. Lastly, we arrived at our
hotel, ‘Petra Golden Tulip Hotel.’ Watching the
beautiful scenery, I did not want to go to bed early for
some reason. My wife and I went out from the hotel and
went for a walk. We enjoyed our time, it was peaceful.
It had been a long time since we had some time to
converse and speak what was on our minds. We made sure
we did our best for the Lord and His ministry even
though we did not know how much time was given to us. We
shared what was on our minds. We spoke of our desires,
wishes, and prayers. We had hoped the Lord would grant
us the information of spiritual warfare ahead of time.
Spiritual warfare is costly. It can momentarily and
gradually suffocate us.
Even when we share and enjoy our time together, Jesus is
always sitting between us. He was enjoying our
conversation and He expressed His love to us in various
ways. It became very late and we returned to the hotel
room. I then once again sensed spiritual tension
arising. We were lying in our beds. We had a room with
two beds. We each had our own bed. We decided to pray
and go to sleep. Finally, the evil spirits that are
assigned to the Jordan area arrived. If one knows their
enemy, it is more easily feasible to win the battle.
Some time passed but the forces of evil did not
completely expose themselves. I asked the Lord, “Lord,
Lord, please let me see them.” But I did not sense the
presence of my Lord.
I know the Lord is always present but sometimes we are
barely able to recognize His presence. And that would be
at His discretion. The Lord already knows all things. He
accurately assesses all the spiritual battles. Moreover,
He is always gazing at me. I never have a choice in this
matter; I must engage and battle with the evil spirits.
God desires me to enter and go through the spiritual
battles. He is the one who leads me into such
circumstances. It appears that the Lord enjoys the
dramatic outcomes for the saints. Therefore, He expects
us to have a natural nature of persevering faith which
does not get discouraged. (Psalms 24:10, 16)
As time passed, I was able to gradually see the forms of
the evil spirits. All of them appeared wearing deep
black yellow tattered hemp clothing. Their number was so
great, it was impossible for me to count. An
unimaginable amount of evil spirits appeared in all
different shapes and colors. It looked as though all the
beggars in the world had gathered in this one spot. All
of them possessed different kinds of conventional
weapons.
The Lord said, “These evil spirits have the power to
make people lazy, lethargic, and poor. Once the evil
spirits capture a person, it is very difficult for their
victim to escape.” And among the multitudes of the evil
spirits stood the leader, he wore a black mantle. He
then threw a harpoon at me. The harpoon was very long
and frightening. The harpoon was one a whale ship would
used to hunt whales. It happened so quickly that I did
not have a chance to move or avoid the harpoon. I was
pierced near my heart. Once I was struck, I fell to the
ground screaming and tumbling. The harpoon pierced my
heart and the devil’s sticky poisonous liquid began to
spread throughout my body. As the devil’s poison spread,
I was gradually losing consciousness. I was also getting
dizzy and hazy.
I groaned with a weak voice. I could barely be heard.
“Lord, awww, Lord. Please help me. My wife, please do
something. Hurry, help me.” But my wife was in a deep
sleep. She was exhausted from the trip and did not even
know what was happening. My body was numb from the
poison. The poison spread throughout my whole body, I
lost strength and could not even move a finger.
The leader of the evil spirits shouted out, “Oh yes!
Cheers! Finally, Pastor Kim is defeated and on the
floor! Attack, all of you attack!” Afterwards, the
second in command sliced my stomach opened with his
frightening sharp knife. My stomach was being sliced and
split opened. I screamed in pain, “Ugh! Ugh! Lord, save
me!” It didn’t matter how loud I screamed, the Lord did
not come to assist me. I could not even feel His
presence. Additional groups of evil spirits appeared and
attacked me in concert. With all my strength, I was able
to groan in pain. “awww…”
When I attempted to make some noise, the evil spirits
covered my mouth. They did not want my wife to wake up.
The wicked evil forces tore and ripped into me. I could
not move a muscle. Tears, drool, and sweat dripped and
wetted the mattress of the bed.
After a long period had passed, my wife sensed the
situation and woke up. She then came over my bed.
“Honey, what is happening? Were you attacked again? Oh,
why do they not attack me? Those evil spirits do not
even let you rest, not even on our trip.” She felt sorry
for me and began rubbing my body. She massaged my body
as she silently prayed in tongue. She tried to bring me
back to full consciousness. I was very grateful for her
care. After the battle, the Lord finally appeared and
spoke comforting words to me. “Pastor Kim, do you now
understand and realize the ruthless reality of the
spiritual world?” The Lord grieved over His beloved
people who had forgotten the spiritual reality. They
were now living their lives attached and focused on the
physical reality.
* A pair of rainbows
Before we had left for the pilgrimage trip, the Lord had
told us that more than half of the members attending the
trip would eventually fall away from the Lord’s Church.
He told us not to be weakened or discouraged but rather
prepare for the change. Moreover, some general members
not attending the trip will also move away. I asked the
Lord, “My Lord, why does it have to be this way?” The
Lord replied, “Their assignment with you has ended. I
will send more laborers to you. Do not worry, Pastor
Kim!”
The deaconess who had financed and prepared our
pilgrimage trip had also prophesized this situation.
Some other members of the Lord’s Church with opened
spiritual eyes had also concretely prophesized. I was
very dismayed.
I have experienced many fierce battles with the forces
of evil. I have also experienced many difficulties and
obstacles. Each day has been a bloody spiritual warfare.
Painful tests and trials were always waiting for us. The
devil had scattered all the members who were called to
be soldiers for the Lord.
And sure enough, more than half the members who had
attended the pilgrimage trip had fallen away. All the
ones who had fallen away gave evasive excuses why they
could not attend church. However, it was the Lord who
had told me that it was Him was allowing a change. After
the pilgrimage trip, I had tried to engage in the
spiritual warfare with a new refreshed mind but satan
had discouraged and exhausted me. My physical body
gradually became weak and I was in great psychological
pressure. I felt like I was going to fall into a
spiritual slump.
On August 12, 2007, 5 AM, after finishing Sunday early
morning service, I sat on the sofa in the office. I then
heard my wife and Deaconess Maria shouting, “Pastor,
look out the window! Wow! There is a pair of rainbows!”
I went to the roof to get a better look. I mumbled to
myself, “What is this? It had not even rained the day
before. How is a pair of rainbows showing up in the
morning when the weather is bright and clear?” Within
that moment, I heard the voice of the Lord. “My beloved
Pastor Kim, I know you are tired and going through
difficulties. I will protect and bless you twice more
than my servant Noah. The pair of rainbows has been
shown to you as my promise. Therefore, do not be
discouraged. Look close at the twin rainbows. This is
the evidence that I am with you.”
The middle peak of the twin rainbows touched the tower
of our church where the bell was located. The rainbows
lasted more than 30 minutes. They were so vivid. It was
a marvelous experience to witness rainbows in such close
proximity. I had only seen rainbows as a small child
from far distances. Deaconess Maria, my wife, and I
stood in front of the rainbows until they disappeared.
We then returned to the office.
When evening came, Pastor Gong, Tek Mo and his family
with some of his church members arrived to the Lord’s
Church. They were once again visiting us from the city
of Jedlanam-do Goseong. Surprised, I said, “Oh, pastor,
you have traveled so far to come and visit us again.”
Pastor Gong explained, “We have come to visit you per
request of the Lord. Our Lord has commanded us to come,
comfort, and cheer you up Pastor Kim. He has told us
that you are going through a difficult time.”
Just to comfort one person, the Lord has sent Pastor
Gong and his party from the city of Gokseong which is
some distance away. I am only a sinner and I am humbled
to know how the Lord is so concerned about me. I am only
a sinner who has committed sins.
* King Crab Party
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the
most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I
will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. (Psalms
50:14-15)
Believers who are rescued from their tribulations must
glorify and honor God. Nevertheless, if we glorify and
honor God in all circumstances, God will save and bless
us. The Lord’s Church had knocked and asked God with
many prayer requests. God answered all the prayers
precisely. After all these years as I look back, I could
see how the Lord had dramatically worked on our behalf.
The Lord was responsible for moving our church. Our
church was small and very limited. Now, He has moved us
to a larger spaced church. Furthermore, it was the Lord
who had made it possible to go on the pilgrimage trip.
Only the Lord knows how we had toiled for many years in
prayer. Now, He has also moved my family to a larger
spaced home. But we had not seriously prayed for a house
for the family, it was more casual than with urgency.
However, God had powerfully intervened and had worked
all things up to the smallest details. He had not missed
a single prayer request.
One day, Deacon Kim, Jong Sup asked a prayer request. He
was the brother in charge of the interior design for our
new church building. “Pastor, before the end of this
month (November 2007), I must buy a fixer upper, repair
it, and move in. Please pray for me.” I instantly
replied, “Really? I also think it is my time to move to
a place closer to the new church building. Let us bet on
who will find a place and move in first!” Of course, I
was only joking. In reality, the deacon had already
bought a house from an auction. He was already in the
process of repairing and renovating the property. On the
contrary, I was still living in my small spaced rental
home 462 square feet located near the previous basement
level church.
My wife and I had been praying for a new home. Our
prayer did not really make sense. “Lord, there are newly
built apartments located near the new church. The place
is called Hankook apartments. Please move us into the
1708 square feet sized apartment. They have four
bedrooms! We would like to live there! My beloved Lord!
I know this prayer request is a bit carnal and silly but
nevertheless.”
My prayer request is closely aligning to my greed and
desires but I am requesting for a larger spaced
apartment for my own personal reasons. My family has
always lived in rentals. From the inception of our
church and through the years of establishing our
foundation, we had always lived in poverty. Living in a
large spacious home is only a dream to us. But since we
are free to pray for our individual needs, I pray for
what we need. Since scripture states to ask, well, I
asked for a 1708 square feet sized new apartment,
especially Hankook Apartments.
Deacon Kim quietly stated that he was already in the
process of renovating the interior of his new property.
But I had guaranteed Deacon Kim that my family would be
the first ones to move into the new place before he did.
I said, “If I move in first to my new home, I will have
a king crab feast for all the church members.” Of
course, I was half heartedly joking.
Surprisingly, my omniscient and omnipotent God answered
my prayer. He moved my family to the Hankook Apartments
with a floor plan of 2708 square feet by the end of
November 2007. He had moved us before the full season of
winter. Deacon Kim was still busy working on the
renovation of his home. I had won the unofficially bet.
Most of the members of the Lord’s Church live in
poverty. They all live in rentals. As the Lord moved my
family from a small limited rental to a large spacious
apartment, I felt sorry and was overwhelmed with
gratitude towards the church members. I asked the Lord,
“Lord, I feel uncomfortable. My family is the only one
to move into a new spacious residence. What should I
do?” The Lord replied.
“Pastor Kim, what are you talking about? Until this day,
you and your family have endured my years of my
discipline, pain, and trials. I am now therefore
blessing you. As you endured all the previous years, you
were afflicted inside your heart. There were always
tears behind your laugh and smiles. I know it well!
Hereafter, I will greatly bless you, your family, and
your church members. I will wipe away all your tears! In
order for your church members to be blessed, you must be
blessed first. Therefore, do not feel sorry or guilty
about it.”
Jesus had already appointed and planned the 2708 square
feet sized apartment at Hankook Apartments. We deposited
$90,000 and no monthly fee or rent was required. The
inside was already completed with interior decorations.
The Lord had prepared this place for us. All the church
members greatly rejoiced and shouted in unison,
“Hallelujah!” They rejoiced with me. Despite of their
difficult financial situations, they provided for our
home appliances. Initially, I resisted their assistance
but they insisted on providing.
God had also sent a new member who owned an electronic
retail store. He was a deacon and his name was Nam,
Young il. He had registered with the Lord’s Church and
into our family. God used him to fill my large spaced
apartment with appliances. God then blessed Deacon Nam.
My wife, children, and I were all carried away in
amazement. God had precisely filled all of our needs. He
filled our needs not only for our family but for the
church and its members. What God has done for our lives
stunned us. I do not know how all of the blessings
occurred and they occurred one after another. We were
very blessed and grateful.
I have always had to look out for the members of the
Lord’s Church. Especially for the members who had cried
out throughout many long nights. They had cried out
daily while living in poverty. I wanted to feed them the
best and most delicious food. By God’s grace I had moved
into a large spacious apartment and I wanted to host a
feast. I wanted to host a king crab feast with all the
members of the Lord’s Church including all the other
people who attend the all night prayer meetings. The
folks in the Lord’s Church do not distinguish what is
yours or mine, we all share.
While I was praying in the pulpit, the Lord gave me a
sign to go to Noryang Jin Fisheries Wholesale Market. I
left the church with some deacons, deaconesses, and
youths to the market at around 3 AM. We were just in
time to buy live fresh king crabs. We bought a total of
16 cases of 160 crabs. It was a large amount of crabs. I
later found out that the market usually do not have so
much live fresh king crabs. I shouted out to the loud in
my local accent. “My beloved Jesus, you know the
conditions of the Lord’s Church members. I feel sorry
for them, they live in poverty. They have no one to
depend on but you Lord. I have bought many king crabs to
feed them. Please bless them. I firmly believe that you
feel as good as I am right now!”
The Lord laughed with grandeur, “Hahahaha!” During that
time, a couple from the USA was visiting our church.
Brother Kwan, Pal Kyu and Sister Shin, Jae Lan were
among many others who visited our church. We fed the
guests as well and had as much as we wanted. We
estimated one person could eat up to three crabs. What
was left, we let our church members take home.
The Lord’s Church has the heart of community. All the
members are in accordance with each other. Everyone in
church are rejoicing and living a faithful life in
Christ. They are able to pray and rest as much as they
want. Everyone volunteers to serve the church. The folks
at the Lord’s Church are overflowing with joy and
brotherly love. No one is alienated; all the believers
love one another with the love of Christ in close
fellowship. Currently, we are praying with bigger
visions. The content of our prayers may seem foolish but
if the Lord permits our requests with financing and
circumstances, our dreams will come to pass.
If the Lord grants us a 1,779,500 square foot area near
the Incheon International Airport, we can plan to build
an apartment. We would use this apartment to house
people who are financially struggling. The apartment
units would then be given to them gratuitously. We are
also praying to build a larger church and mission
center. A larger church and mission center can host many
visitors from foreign countries. The foreign visitors
would be greatly blessed. I wish to arrange a bridge for
intercessory prayer ministries between Korea and the
world. And of course, the core purpose is for the
salvation of souls. I once again expect the amazing
blessing of the Lord. Hallelujah!
* Mohave (name of car)
God is very pleased with believers who cry out to Him
day and night in prayer. The content of the prayer does
not really matter. For example, when children repeatedly
ask their parents over and over for something, the
parents generally become annoyed. Even though they may
be their children, parents can be annoyed. The Lord on
the other hand will always answer our prayers only when
we seek, ask, and cry out to Him. It does not really
matter how we may look when we pray. The Lord loves
believers who are poor and destitute. The answers to our
prayers are equal to His promises and therefore will
eventually come to pass. So if we give all the glory and
glorify Him in all our circumstances or whatever we do,
God will deliver us and bless us.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give
grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from
them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is
the man that trusteth in thee. (Psalms 84:11-12)
On February 2008, the Lord granted us a new gift. The
Lord’s Church is steadily growing everyday. Generally,
it is people who are in difficult and deteriorated
situations or circumstances that end up in our church.
Perhaps, it is God’s will for our church to embrace the
sheep that are in greater need of help. They are the
sheep that have been most damaged by life. We use to
have a van for church use in which our family utilized.
But now, through some members of the church, we have
received a gift. The gift is a brand new car for the
private use of our family.
One day, I was having a conversation with one of our
deacons, Song, Byung Soo. The conversation was as
follow, “Pastor, I am having many tedious problems with
my car. I have had this car for quite some time. I will
begin to pray for a brand new car. I will pray for the
‘Mohave.’ The ‘Mohave’ is a new Kia model that has just
come out and it is an SUV.” I replied, “Is that right?
What kind of car is that Deacon Song? Since gas prices
has risen, I, myself wish for a small sized car.
Hhhhmmm, Deacon Song, should I ask the Lord to grant me
the car you are praying for?”
Acting childish, the deacon and I betted who would get
their prayer answered first. Is it the Lord’s will to
answer the prayer of the pastor or lay believer first?
It wasn’t a real bet of any significance, it was just
for fun. I was not very serious about our conversation.
I took it very light. However, the deacon took our
friendly bet seriously. Deacon Song and his wife Kim,
Soo Kyung eagerly began to pray for a ‘Mohave’ car.
I thought to myself, ‘Well, I can’t believe the childish
acts I am participating with the members of the church.’
But as I witnessed Deacon Song and his wife seriously
praying and asking, I became challenged. As a result, my
wife and I began to pray with the same enthusiasm.
Two weeks passed and I would have never dreamed that the
Lord would answer my prayer so promptly. The price of
the Kia Mohave is not such an inexpensive car. With
limited options, the price would not change that much.
The price for the Mohave is generally more than $60,000.
With various taxes and other fees, it would be more than
$70,000 by the end of the day. I even personally went to
a dealer and test drove the car. There is a reason why
this car is relatively expensive. The seats are very
comfortable and soft and the car handles very smoothly.
The engine required the higher grade of gasoline but
there was almost no noise from the engine. My heart was
taken away. I now realized why so many people desire the
more expensive cars.
Middle class households generally cannot afford such an
expensive SUV. Although I was praying, I was also in
doubt at the same time. ‘This car does not apply for us
or our situation. Will God really grant us such a
vehicle?’ But God surprisingly worked on our behalf. One
late evening, I received a phone call from an unknown
deacon. “Pastor, I would like to meet you at your house
in private.” I was curious to know what type of subject
he wanted to discuss. I wondered if it was a serious
matter for he had to come a long way to my home. In that
evening, the deacon and his wife arrived and he began
discussing on procuring a vehicle. “Please choose a car
from either Hyundai or Kia. Please choose as you desire.
Pastor, God has impressed on me to provide you with a
vehicle for your household. Pastor, there are a few new
models that have entered the market such as the Sonata,
Sorento, Santa Fe, and the New Granger. I was going to
bring you some catalogs to browse but it slipped my
mind. I will come visit you again and bring you a
catalog in two days.”
I was very grateful to the Lord. However, I repeatedly
refused and said, “Deacon, it is alright, you do not
really have to do this. I will thankfully accept your
heart.” The deacon and his wife insisted until I gave
in. “No pastor, this is my mission and it is an offering
to God. I witness you visit hell every day. I desire you
to be comfortable when driving.” I replied, I know if
you also in a difficult financial situation, I rather
choose a smaller sized car such as the Matiz. However,
they continued to be insistent.
Two days later, the deacon and his wife returned with a
car catalog. I whispered in my wife’s ear. “Honey, we
prayed that God grant us a Kia Mohave.” We watched to
see how the Lord would work. Suddenly, the deacon said,
“Pastor, it is a very strange thing." I asked, “What
happened?” They began to meticulously explain the
situation.
“After we had finished our day, we hastily arrived at
the Hyundai dealer to pick up a catalog. However, all of
their catalogs were out. We then went to the other
dealers but they were all out of catalogs as well.” They
then arrived at the Kia dealership and the dealer was
all out of catalogs except for the Kia Mohave SUV. They
decided to visit other Kia dealerships but the dealers
were all out of catalogs except the Kia Mohave. A
salesperson finally handed a catalog of the Mohave and
said, “This is a new model. They have just recently
arrived to the dealers. It is a very nice vehicle.” The
deacon and his wife stated that the only catalog they
were able to bring was the Mohave brochure. They opened
up the catalog and gave a strange uneasy expression.
“Pastor, I guess you must choose the Mohave.”
My wife and I were very amazed at the meticulous work
and care of the Lord. He had completely intervened. Our
jaws dropped to the floor. I then explained in detail
how we prayed for a new car, especially the Mohave. The
deacon and his wife were very amazed and thankful.
“Pastor, Mrs. Kang Hyun Ja, the Lord must especially
love you two very much. He has used us to bless you.” I
greatly give thanks to the Lord. I did not know how to
express my gratefulness to the Lord for his compassion
for us. My eyes were full of tears. In that moment, I
heard the Lord’s small voice.
“My beloved Pastor Kim and Saint Kang, Hyun Ja, you are
leading a daily services in which I am very well
pleased. I am delighted. Father and Holy Spirit are also
in agreement with Me. I want to grant you everything you
need and desire. However, this is nothing compared to
what is coming. I will gradually grant you more
blessings. Therefore, do not change and always continue
to please Me, understand?”
Several days ago, the Holy Spirit continued to touch my
head and face. It appeared that Trinity God was happier
than my wife and I was. I continued to ask, “Deacon,
this Mohave SUV is really mine, correct?” The deacon
replied knowing what was in my thoughts. I was thinking
of eventually selling it at a later time and purchasing
a smaller vehicle. “Why do you ask pastor? You can not
sell it no matter what. I have made some arrangements to
prevent you from selling the vehicle.” We all laughed
out loud. After several days later, I was able to pick
up the Mohave. The SUV was the newest and most expensive
car in my neighborhood.
But as I drove the car, part of my heart was filled with
burden. The members of the Lord’s Church were all poor
and in difficult situations. I could be seen as a rich
arrogant corrupted pastor in their eyes. I continued to
worry and the Lord finally said, “Pastor Kim, do not be
so concerned. You have the right to enjoy the blessings
I have granted you. In order for the church members to
be blessed, the pastor must be blessed. But there are
many who misuse the blessings in a carnal manner.”
Since my wife, children, and I have always lived in a
difficult and poor manner, this kind of luxury did not
suit us very well. It was hard getting used too. I was
very concerned with the views of my relatives, the
church members, and other people. When we pray at the
Lord’s Church, the Lord answers the prayers of the
pastor’s family first. This has been a challenge for the
church members.
“Pastor gets his prayers answered first! Let us pray to
have our prayers answered as well.” They were motivated.
With the pastor prayer answered, the deacon and his wife
were all fired up to zealously pray. The church members
also asked me to treat them to a feast.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John
15:7)
* Prophetic words given by the Lord
On October 17th, 2007 at 1:30 AM, we received a Word
from the Lord through a female pastor for Pastor Kim.
This particular female pastor was from the city of
Bucheon. We documented the words in order to disclose it
on book five.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, please give words and your
view on the current condition of the Korean churches and
Christians.
Jesus: The world is covered with red light crosses. Most
of the churches are not attentively listening to My
voice. They are full of human greed. They listen to the
voice of their congregation and are too busy trying to
satisfy them. My beloved servant, I desire my words to
be proclaimed to the world through you. My word is to be
the fire and the gospel that goes into the world. I
desire this to be the opportunity to awaken my servants
who most are in error. The people’s perceptions of
value, scale, growth, revival are not in accordance with
my standard. I do not approve of their ways. Their ways
have nothing to do with my thoughts and plan but they
continue to build up their own tower of Babel. There are
numerous amounts of people who are building their own
towers.
There are many people who ask for the filling of the
Holy Spirit but only through their lips. They say they
want love and mercy. They praise, worship, and even pray
with their lips. They say they know a lot of their Lord
and God but it is with their lips. But they are self
centered. They only ask and proclaim according to their
knowledge, safety, and convenience. They do not proclaim
what I desire.
My beloved servants, my sheep who belong to Me! Many
will point fingers at you. Many will disapprove of you.
Perhaps some will say that you are insane. Some will
persecute you claiming you are only one sided. They will
all say that you are out of your mind.
My beloved servants, my beloved sheep, they say many
words are proclaimed like waves of the sea and currents
of the sea. They say many sermons are proclaimed
according to wisdom, knowledge, and edification. But it
is not what I truly desire. I do not approve! I want it
pure and simplified.
To all who love to dress up in beautiful clothes and
show off, to all who love to go out standing on an
intersection, shouting and boasting of yourselves, you
love to show off! To all who are so busy boasting of
yourselves through the media and TV, I feel pity on you!
Many of my sheep are listening to their voices. Many of
my sheep are admiring them. The world is experiencing
where my sheep are blinded by such people. My sheep are
ignorant. They do not know the way of the real truth.
Therefore, my sheep must awaken and listen to my voice.
I do not pursue things that are fancy, I do not pursue
knowledge. I only pursue love, truth (sincerity) and
mercy. In the future, many various kinds of tribulation
and opponents will arise with the work of the Lord’s
Church ministry. When this occurs, all of you must
listen carefully to the Lord’s voice. Do not lean toward
either the left or right but have your hope in heaven.
Do not be shaken or swayed but understand and apprehend
the secrets of heaven.
I have already stated that one can not stand without the
power of the Holy Spirit in this last generation. Do
they know righteousness? Do they know faith? They say
they believe and have faith in God. They say they give
glory and exalt God. But eventually, they achieve their
purpose and desire to show themselves in front of
people. It was not for Me but it has always been for
themselves. They have always wanted to be better than
everybody else.
My people must truthfully pray for my beloved servants
who are placed on the altar. They must pray as though
they are watchmen. This is the generation of evil
people. Therefore, this evil generation will not leave
my servants alone. They will attempt to trample and kill
my servants by any means. Technology and instant
transfer of information will assist in rapidly spreading
out accusations. My people need to be the shield of
protection. Protect my servants with the shield of
prayer. Stand firm on the Word and do not be shaken. Be
strong as a rock. My people, you will make it through
the prayer that is built on a rock. Everything must be
done whole heartily.
Pastor Kim: “My beloved Lord, at this time there are
some church members who have left the church and formed
their own group. They call the people to their homes and
prophesize, interpret, and perform deliverance. Lord,
what is your view on this matter?”
Jesus: My beloved children who have left, I desire to
call you. I want to pour down a clean pure solid gold
Spirit. I want to give you the Word with a clean clear
crystal water Spirit, not mixed with anything. But
because you are arrogant and conceited, you do not pay
attention. You do not listen to my Words I speak to you.
You are arrogant and busy exhibiting yourselves. When
you think you hear something, when you think you see
something, when you think you feel something, you
consider yourself bigger than Me. Instead of listening
to my Word, you behave according to your thoughts.
My beloved children, you must listen carefully. If your
soul is not clean, if your soul has a blemish, satan
will exploit that blemish even if it is a small one. The
enemy will exploit your body and use it as their weapon.
Like the people who have left your group, you can become
a spirit of darkness just like them if you are not able
to discern yourself. One must always discern and judge
oneself. If one is not able to discern oneself, one’s
eyes and soul will become dark. Thereafter, one will not
be able to discern anything and one will not be able to
hear any person’s voice because their ears are clogged.
It will not matter how much word of truth one will hear,
the words will not come upon his/her heart and their
thought. These types of people will follow after the
secular world and will attempt to gratify the desires of
the world. These types of people will proclaim what the
world wants to hear. They will then say, thus saith the
Lord.
My beloved ones, you must always have a clean and pure
mind. You must always be watchful and on guard. I will
judge those who have fallen with the fire of hell. I
will not grant them the Holy Fire. As they continue with
their lives and ministry, they will one day realize that
their fruits are not truly from God. But whoever quickly
repents and remorse their errors, I will love and have
compassion on them. I will love them as I loved those in
the city of Nineveh.
I have pity on their souls. Whenever I think about their
souls, my heart aches. Foolish men! They are so filled
with pride and arrogance that they can not receive the
blessing I desire to grant them. They do not have the
ability to enjoy the power I am willing to grant them.
But my children do not hate them. You must have
compassion on them and I desire you to pray for them. I
want you to embrace them and you must pray by exerting
all of your energies for them. It is My will that they
return to God to stand before Me with their eyes truly
brightened with light. Pray for them without ceasing. Do
not miss a day. I love their souls just as much as I
love you.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, how long must I continue to
visit hell? It has been over 3 years and I am being sent
everyday.
Jesus: Hahahaha, my beloved servant, have you been
apprehensive? Hahahaha, even this opportunity of
visiting hell is something others are not able to
acquire. If one only witnesses heaven, people will not
believe it. I, therefore, have granted you a special
privilege of visiting hell to witness it first hand. I
have especially chosen you to experience hell. I am
helping you bear all the pain and torment. I have given
you the opportunity to taste the pain because I consider
highly of you. This is why I have given you the
opportunity and privilege to visit hell. It is not for
any person. Are you still worried? Hahahaha.
Pastor Kim: If you continue to take me to hell, please
grant me more power. Lord, please sharpen and strengthen
my gifts of spiritual eyes, seeing through, prophecy,
and interpretation.
Jesus: You mind is in haste! Hahahaha. How impatient is
your mind! Your time and my time are different. Wait and
preserve, consider it a joy. This moment may be
difficult to bear but I do not let just anybody
experience such unique tribulations. This is all because
I love you. I have especially chosen you. I will use you
and grant you many experiences. Consider this all a joy.
Be grateful to Me. Hahahaha, My beloved servant! Do not
worry, hahahaha. In the very near future, you will
realize why I had to take you to hell.
Pastor Kim: You will show me much more? In details,
right? Lord, when you show me, please let my wife also
see with me. She has become sulky.
Jesus: Hahaha, I know. You are asking too much!
Hahahaha, My beloved servant! (Jesus caressed my hair
and held my hand. He then spoke to me and laughed.) You
abide in Me and I abide in you. Why are you continually
trying to get ahead of Me? Let us go together, keep pace
with Me.
Hahahaha, as I see you doing such things, you are very
lovable and cute. Hahahaha, My beloved servant! There is
one thing that I really want you to listen carefully.
When you deliver the things I have shown you and the
words I have spoken to you, you do it in a manner as
though you are floating up like an inflated balloon. You
must examine yourself. There are moments when the devil
makes you arrogance. You must always examine yourself
and think again before speaking. You must be very
cautious and do not forget to examine yourself before
you speak and before you announce anything. Examine
yourself before you look at anything. You must always be
cautious and not become arrogance.
I desire to entrust my precious ministry to you for a
long time. I desire to entrust my ministry to many of my
servants. But there is no room in them for me to plant
my beautiful plans and precious ministries with My
Spirit since their will and knowledge are so strong.
They are full of themselves in their own will and
knowledge.
As you lead my ministry, do not be distracted by the
world. Do not measure or compare your ministry to
others. Have your own standards. Do not pay attention to
the other pastors throughout the world. You must only
look at Me. Pay attention to only My voice.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, please tell my wife that
she has an eccentric personality.
Jesus: Hahahaha¸ you may see her as unusual or eccentric
but she is my creation. Her characteristics, nature, and
image is a reflection of Me. In a factory, there can be
fishermen, farmers, and other trades people who may be
working in one place. Your wife is different from you.
Hahahaha, she is not eccentric or unusual. I desire to
use her as she is and to use her nature and personality.
I consider her character and nature dear to Me. You are
also very beautiful and loveable in my view. Hahahaha,
you are considering your wife unusual because you are
viewing her through your perception. Just as I view you
loveable, cute, and beautiful, I view your wife as
beautiful and loveable. I love her with my passionate
heart.
Saint Hyun Ja Kang, do not desire to spiritually get
ahead of your husband who is my beloved servant. I am a
God of order. The things that I plan to spiritually open
in you will not be the same as your husband. I desire to
spiritually open up the things that are special and
different for you. I will utilize you appropriately and
preciously. I will utilize the delicacy, tenderness, and
loving heart of yours that only women possess. You must
always have your eyes opened to Me. Do not be impatient.
You must have the heart to love My time.
Pastor Kim: Lord, my beloved Lord, I beseech you to
speak words to the people who are here visiting from the
outside.
Jesus: My beloved male servant is here in this place.
The servant whom I have entrusted with My small church.
(Some of the visiting pastors are crying out, “Lord!
Lord!”.)
Jesus: (The Lord sobbed) My beloved servant! Your heart
is in so much pain. You are not able to share your pain
to anyone. You sometimes wanted to give up. In fact, you
thought about giving up twelve times in one day. As you
looked at your family, you felt so sorry and your heart
ached for them. Oh, My beloved servant. Do not be so
hasty with your thoughts. From your perception, it all
looks stagnant. You feel like you do not see anything.
You feel helpless. But I am still working on your behalf
even in this moment. I allowed it all to happen because
it is the process you must experience and go through. It
is not because I hate you, it is not because I am
ignoring you, and it is not because I consider you weak.
I desire to season you and utilize your durability and
resiliency.
Visiting Pastor: (Severely wailing) God, my heart is
suffocating!!! I feel as though I am chocking in my
spirit (sobbing). God!!! I am not able to read the
bible. I am not able to hear your voice. God! (Sobbing)
Many times, I have felt resentment towards you. I have
said, “God, have you called me to be your servant just
to experience difficult situations?” God, what do you
want me to do? (Sobbing) (At this moment, the Lord
caresses the pastor’s neck and holds him in His arms).
Jesus: My beloved servant, get rid of your flaming
impatient heart. I desire you to be like Me and possess
My likeness in nature and character. Be a servant who
will love and embrace people, especially those you are
resentful towards. Do you hold resentment toward anyone
in your heart? Go and visit them. Humble yourself, hold
their hands, hug them, embrace them, and have pity on
them.
I do not expect you to be an excellent leader. I expect
and desire you to be an excellent shepherd. I want you
to be a shepherd who would embrace wounded souls. I do
not expect you to be a leader with different types of
talents, power, or of great strength.
My beloved servant, I want you and your household to cry
out to me for 30 days. Unless your character becomes
like Mine and until all your wounds are healed in your
heart, you will not be able to love my beloved flock.
Pour out all of your hurt and pain. Pour out all of your
garbage. I want you to give Me all of your heart. I need
to move in your heart. I need to come and dwell in your
heart. Even though I wanted to come into your heart and
speak with you, I could not do so because your heart was
filled with so much of you.
My beloved servants, do not envy when you look at other
people. I do not desire the type of servants who are
well known, recognized by the world. I will evaluate all
the ministries that have been entrusted to my servants.
I will not evaluate based on their popularity. Cherries
grow in the spring. It matures and turns into bright
red. When it becomes the fruit it was designed for, its
duty or job is complete. I have entrusted each one of my
servants a mission. Their missions of width, depth,
area, and sizes are all different. You may desire many
things but if you nurture and feed five sheep that I
give you on a daily basis, it will be the same reward
for the shepherds that have nurtured and fed 5000,
10000, or 30000 sheep. Therefore, do not be so greedy. I
desire you to endure and do all that I have entrusted to
you. Give me your best and do it in joy.
My beloved servant, I want you to recommit your mind
back to when you first made your confession to Me. You
had a hope of heaven when you first made your confession
to Me. As it was when I first met you, I desire once
again that you restore your heart.
Remember when you had made all the promises to Me? Pray
and cling on to them. Ask Me and I will lift you up and
will use you. I will lift you up and will give you
strength so that you can carry out the mission I have
set before you. I will give you hope. I will grant you
laborers as you need them. Therefore, do not be
impatient. Feed my flock with long suffering, love,
mercy, and compassion.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, may I document the contents
of our conversation in the fifth book? Lord, I think
many servants of the newly established churches will
gain strength.
Jesus: My beloved servant, you have stopped writing half
way through your fifth book. Correct?
Pastor Kim: Yes, Lord, very much so.
Jesus: You must be feeling suffocated. You know you must
start to write again but you are in a hurry. Your hand
is not moving as fast as you desire and nothing is
coming across your mind. Correct? Therefore, I will
grant you a special time today. I have come to this
place to free your mind. And to all who are currently
listening to Me in this place, I want them all to
witness, document, and proclaim what I am saying.
Many people will bear fruit through the fire ministry
and My books. Through the Lord’s Church, many people
will admire and desire to do the Holy Spirit ministry
and to participate in the Holy Spirit movement. As you
publish book 5, many people will desire the work of the
Holy Spirit. After book 5 is published you will be
strengthened in hope and power. Currently, you are
experiencing some difficulties with various issues and
colliding against the work of satan. But be of good
courage, I will grant you three times more joy.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I have a revival scheduled
in the USA. But my visa has not yet been issued. Lord,
the church I am scheduled to attend is a newly
established church and the members are the pastor’s
household. What do you think I should do? Lord, should I
attend or not? What should I do?
Jesus: The servant who is requesting your service has
two purposes. First, he wants to satisfy his greed and
desires. His purpose is not to proclaim the true gospel
but to promote his church. His motivation is to promote
himself. Now he is preparing a revival based on his
personal desires and greed. I am not pleased. If the
ministry or message is delivered incorrectly, satan will
intervene. Then a counterfeit result will occur. The
people who had attended may temporarily get excited and
satisfied but later they will criticize. It will be like
a fire ignited on dead dry leaves which will quickly die
out. It will be more like a short puff of smoke with no
long lasting effect.
My beloved servant, I do not desire you to go there. The
various works you have built can become less valid. My
servants in these last days have so much desire to fill
their greed. They desire to succeed with spiritual power
so they can boast of themselves. This is why I cannot
perform and fulfill the work of the Holy Spirit. This is
why I cannot grant power or pour down the powerful gifts
of the Holy Spirit. It is regrettable. If one does not
become humble and fall flat on the ground like dust, I
cannot grant the movement and work of the Holy Spirit to
my servant otherwise they will use it to fulfill their
greed. As a result, many will be lead astray. They will
become leaders who lead many in the wrong direction.
Many will be blinded and many will be stopped from
entering the truth. This is why I currently cannot grant
power to many of my servants. All of my servants are
longing for gifts. They all desire for the spiritual
realm. However, many of them are asking for the wrong
reasons. They are seeking for their own self achievement
and success.
Now, I will speak to my servants in this place. If
anyone in here is visiting the Lord's Church for the
purpose of receiving power and gifts as Pastor Kim
possesses, I require you all to put down your personal
desires. If you are here to further your ambition or
your success for the sake of putting yourself or your
ministry on a pedestal, I suggest you lay all that down
at my feet. All of your pride and arrogance must be put
down as well. When your greed or personal ambition is
cleansed out from the inside out, I will then grant you
the gifts. The gifts are not something that I can just
grant because you expect it or because you personally
desire it. You think I will grant the gifts to you just
because you earnestly desire them? If you have any
amount of personal greed within your earnest desire, I
will not grant you the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Otherwise, receiving the gift can be poison and the gift
may be used as a knife to murder. This is why I cannot
grant you the gifts.
My beloved ones, when you possess the likeness of my
character such as love, kindness, and humility, then the
gift of the Holy Spirit will come upon you. I am very
eager to grant you the gift. My heart desires to quickly
grant you the gift but you are not emptying your heart.
Your heart is full of greed. You are desiring to use my
gift and power as a machine. This is why I cannot grant
my gifts. All who are here, listen and pray with a sound
mind. For those who think they can receive the gifts by
praying either three months, two months, one month, 30
consecutive days, or all night long, you are wrong in
your assumption! It is only when you empty yourself I
can enter in you and then the work of the Holy Spirit
will fully manifest in you. When you are filled with
your greed, how can I enter in you? You are not
preparing yourself to receive my gift. You are only
confessing with your mouth without emptying yourself. I
desire you all to empty your personal greed or ambition
that are in the midst of your spirit. When you realize
the hidden identity of who you really are and in what
situation you are in, you will then eventually see
yourself before Me.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, there is a place where they
train people to in the work of the prophetic. Many
people are gathering at this place. A member from that
training place visited our church and we delivered him
from a high ranked evil spirit. He was very shocked when
he realized that he was demonized. He had been
prophesying without being aware of the demons inside
him. Lord, what is your thoughts on this matter?
Jesus: (With a sigh of deep breath) You have all read
the bible and are all aware that the gift is a gift. It
is a big mistake to assume that the gift of prophecy can
be achieved by training or in some other unnatural way.
Some people are also training others to speak in tongue,
the heavenly language. There are some who create their
own heavenly language. These are the leaders of cults.
They are the ones who block the heavenly gates. They are
the ones who blocks the heavenly milestone.
My beloved, the people in this place do not believe it
can be achieved by training. I have given you the gift
of salvation. You had no other option but to die in your
sins. You do not know the concept of a gift. Some think
the gift can be granted based on demand. At times, even
you get ahead of Me. You then end up trying to teach Me
or command Me. Now, those who have been unnaturally
trained are operating ministries and employing Me. They
are standing in front of Me and commanding Me to comply
with their desires. They are the worst of the worst.
You all know there are wheat and tares or sheep and
wolves within this end time generation church. Now, the
time has come that I must separate them from right to
left. You must awaken and meticulously examine
yourselves. Be very careful and be repeatedly cautious
to know that you are not lined up in the wrong lane.
Once your spiritual eyes become darken, you will not be
able to discern any further. It will not matter whether
I come close to you, crying with compassion, and
speaking the truth, you will not be able to hear Me.
Filled with personal desires, they will be running
toward their own ambitions. You will be able to witness
their end results or consequences. And not too far
after, they will receive disciplinary punishment and you
will clearly witness how they will go under. I will
judge them. You will not witness their destruction at My
second coming, you will witness them with your vary own
eyes. The Holy Spirit's work will manifest with fruits.
You will see from their life whether their fruit is dead
or alive.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I thank you. I am very
sorry for asking once again but since my children Joseph
and Joo Eun have deeply entered the spiritual realm, can
you tell me if I am loving my children more than my
church family? Lord, how will you use Joseph and Joo
Eun? How will you use the Lord's Church members? Please
tell me?
Jesus: From your perspective, you see them as your
little children. Therefore, you may get very concerned
for them as they see the spiritual realm. However, in
the Kingdom of God, it does not matter whether the
person is 60, 40 years old, or little children. In the
spiritual realm, it is all the same. As you have seen in
heaven, there are no old, young, male, female, children,
or adults. The spirits are all the same.
I do not perceive the spiritual realm in a physically
manner. It is perceived spiritually. I desire to use the
children because their spirits are clean and pure. With
older people, they are sometimes clouded with knowledge,
common sense, and stubbornness. It does not matter how
clearly I show them the spiritual realm, their thoughts
gust out like rusty polluted water. Therefore, there are
times when it is dangerous to use such people. This is
why I use young children.
In these end times, I will pour out the Holy Spirit unto
young children and show them the spiritual realm. They
will prophesy. I will lift them up and use them. I
desire to use your children because their spirits are
clean and pure. Therefore do not excessively worry.
However, Pastor Kim, do not misuse them. Whenever I
provide an opportunity, I want you to utilize them. You
must be very concerned about them. At times, young
children may excessively utilize their gift with their
leisure activities. Therefore, you must always train and
teach them to use the gift according to the purposes of
serving God.
From here after, many young children will experience the
spiritual realm, the Holy Fire, and they will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. When this happens, adults
must not look down on them or ignore them just because
they are young children. This is the sign that my coming
is very near. You must respect, love, and lift them up.
I want you to treat them as you would treat Me.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, thank you for your grace.
Someone has stated that You will come when his/her
grandchild is a teenager, specifically mid teens. Is
he/she deluded?
Jesus: My beloved servant, if I disclose the date of my
coming to some of my servants, then chaos will come upon
the world. As I have stated in the Bible, I will come
like a thief and no one will know. However, for those
who are spiritually awaken, they will know that my
coming is soon. They will not know the exact date but
will know the season. They will suddenly realize the
urgency of the coming. In that season, it will only be a
matter of time.
It will not be years and days of prophesying that the
gates of heaven are opening or if the arch angels are
blowing the trumpets, when I come for My bride, it will
happen abruptly. For those spiritually awaken, when you
are in a moment of prayer, suddenly, you will know and
feel it spiritually through the spiritual realm that I
am coming. All who are waiting and awakened will feel it
together.
I do not state the date to any single person, otherwise,
the world may become chaotic and disorder may follow.
Therefore, a date will not be given. Only the Father
knows the date. My beloved servants, if you only love Me
and you are abiding in Me, you will never be bewildered
for not knowing the date.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I thank you for your grace.
As you are well aware, Mrs. Baxter had visited heaven
and hell many times. In her book, she stated that hell
was inside the earth. In my opinion, I do not agree.
Although, there is fire inside the earth's core, it
based on my experience and from the trips you have lead
and shown us, I do not think hell is inside the earth.
Lord?
Jesus: My beloved servant, from the bible's perspective,
heaven is currently present in your heart and heaven is
also coming in the future. You are aware of this
knowledge. When I state that hell is on earth, it does
not mean that the concept of location or place of hell
is coming after judgment. When I say hell is on earth,
it means that the Kingdom of God is not present or upon
you. For example, people say such things as, 'It feels
like hell, We are living in hell, The world feels like
hell.' There are differences in the volume of pain or
misery a person goes through.
My beloved ones, I desire you to listen carefully in
this hour. There are things in which you must be very
cautious when I grant you a gift of prophecy which opens
up your spirit. If the person who receives this gift is
not pure in spirit/soul, many problems can occur. When a
person prophesizes or speaks for another and the
propheciser's spiritual impurities are not all removed,
it would be like a person misinterpreting the bible. The
uncleaned spiritual prophesier can incorrectly
prophesized or incorrectly interpret and as a result
falsely deliver My intention. Therefore, although a
person has received the gift of prophecy, that person
should not speak out everything that may come upon their
thought. They, however, should be very careful. The
person receiving the prophecy and the person prophesying
must both be very cautious.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, as I have already stated,
it is very dangerous to operate the Holy Spirit ministry
when a person has not been delivered from all the evil
spirits within them. It has been clearly proven during
our daily services in church. There is a certain church
in which they focus and concentrate on prophesying. They
do not have the ability to disclose the identities of
the evil spirits. Lord, please tell me how to manage
this?
Jesus: In the ministry of prophecy, a person's single
word can either lead a weak or young faith person into
the truth or the evil way. There is the danger of
leading people into the darkness as blind people. I will
give you some examples and conditions of those who
prophesizes. When you pour red water into a cup filled
with yellowish orange juice, the color will become
reddish orange. As this example shows, a person and the
evil spirits' thoughts can become mixed together as the
person speaks out. When this occurs, one must
voluntarily humble themselves and restrain from
prophesying. As one humbles and obeys, they must wait
and pray as one manages their spirituality until their
spirit gets cleaned. I desire that person to stop
prophesying and instead rest. I want the person to
humble themselves. Those who have the Holy Spirit will
be able to discern and know if the evil spirits are
corrupting the person's spiritual condition. I will
advise you through the Holy Spirit if your current
ministry is the work of the Holy Spirit or something
that the Lord is not pleased with. Therefore, you will
know through the Holy Spirit when your spirit is not
clean and you are not suitable to prophesy at that time.
When one realizes their condition, I desire that person
to refrain themselves. By practicing caution, the person
will not sick my sheep and the prophesier themselves
will not become ill. If a person continued in their
ministry under corrupt conditions, that person's
spirituality would become dull and they would get sick.
As a result, the person will eventually become the
instrument of satan.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, is it biblical to prophecy
from our spiritual five senses? Are they able to
prophecise using their senses? Or is it biblical to
prophecise by vividly hearing the words through our
ears? There are many who prophecise from their spiritual
five senses. Therefore, is it your will to prophecise by
hearing through the ears?
Jesus: My beloved servant, it is like this. Your
personality is different than of Saint Hyun Ja Kang. In
fact, all of My children's personality is unique and
different from one another. I use my servants in
different ways as they are My instruments with different
gifts and uniqueness. Some people are more sensitive to
their spiritual five senses than others and as a result
I would give them My words through their senses. For
some I would give words through their ears and for some
I would grant prophecy as they read the bible. There are
many ways in which I can grant prophecy. You must not
judge the particular method in which prophecy is granted
with your thoughts.
The spiritual realm is wide and infinite. I desire to
use each and every person by granting them the most
suitable and appropriate gift or method. I will grant
them something that can be best utilized by them.
Therefore, one must not be so quick to judge. One must
not condemn so quickly. When a person's spirituality is
opened, you will know if the work is from the devil
since you have the spirit of discernment. I desire you
to respect, lift up, and love one another.
Pastor Kim: I am sorry my beloved Lord. I am also in
agreement with you. In the area of spirituality, I
personally do not think it can be systematic or be
established in theory. However, many who claim to have
knowledge of the spiritual realm and/or operating in the
Holy Spirit movement ministries are forming and
establishing a system or theory. They then educate
people with this nonsense. What do you think about this
matter?
Jesus: Even though you are human with a physical body
and strive to labor wholeness, you at this time can not
be like Me. I have a spiritual body. Basically, it is
impossible right now for you to possess perfection.
Therefore, I do not desire one to say that your
spiritual realm has completely opened. Based on a
person's propensity, talent, character, and other
traits, I will grant the gifts in which is most suitable
to the person. A person can only know and understand
what they possess or have experienced.
Therefore people must not judge or condemn each other
when it comes to the spiritual realm. People who are
spiritual or have the spiritual realm opened for them
will know one another. They will even know their works.
They will not even have to say a word to one another to
distinguish one another. They will know each other
through the Spirit. They will realize they are in unity.
Although the work may be different, the Holy Spirit is
the same and they will know they are one in the Lord.
Therefore, although one may be opened to the spiritual
realm, one should not insist their method or revelation
is the only correct way and they at the same time should
not condemn others. One is only able to know what one
has experienced. One is not able to express with their
finite mind, knowledge, or words. The spiritual realm is
not something one can just compare to anything. One can
not determine or compare its height, depth, length, or
width with any particular standard. One will only
realize the perfection of the spiritual realm when
he/she lives with Me in the Kingdom of heaven. It is
then one accomplishes perfection.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I like to ask you one more
thing. I have to quickly move into my new home and we
have to get our old church leased by another tenant. But
I do not see any of this coming soon. What is your will
in this Lord? Am I lacking in prayer? Please raise the
praying servants so that we can pray for the old church
building to be leased by another tenant.
Jesus: It is not from lack of prayer. Your church
building is being on hold until I find the servant I
desire to grant. I am still looking for a servant that
is appropriate, suitable, and one I can entrust the
building too. It is not because of you. Therefore, be
patient and persevere for Me. A little while longer.
Pastor Kim: Lord, please help me move more quickly! I am
losing patience.
Jesus: I understand your impatient personality.
Hahahaha. You are always hasty. You are bouncing around
too much. Hahahaha.
Pastor Kim: My wife, Hyun Ja Kang presses me!
Jesus: Sometimes, you are lovely as you are. Hahahaha. I
also sometimes think your character is almost as close
as Mine.
Pastor Kim: Lord, Brother Yoon Jung was originally a
Buddhist monk. He does not eat meat and has practiced
self cultivation many times. But now it appears that he
desires to get married. Please tell me your view on this
matter.
Jesus: Hahahaha, just wait and see. Pastor Kim, you are
very silly. When I have a conversation with you, I do
enjoy it. You make me joyous. Hahahaha.
Pastor Kim: Are you addressing Brother Yoon Jung or me?
Jesus: You, of course, hahahaha. You can make me laugh
in so much ways, hahahaha.
Pastor Kim: Jesus, please heal Brother Yoon, Jin Suh.
Brother Hyuk, Hwan has stated that a spirit of lust is
working in Brother Yoon. It is a frequent problem. What
is your view on this, Lord?
Jesus: I desire you all to have a heart and to first
love the weaker ones. If you perceive the weaker
brethren with a loving heart, their appearance would be
seen as lovely and beautiful. From my perception, they
are all like little babies playing around. Just because
some of them are eccentric in their ways, appearance, or
characteristics, does not judge or analysis from your
thoughts. You must perceive the weaker ones with a
loving heart, only then you will see their beauty.
Before any one of you desire power and gifts, you must
first learn to have a loving heart. I desire you to
first learn to have a heart that embraces the weaker
ones. Only when this is accomplished, I will pour down
my power upon you. Then the power to heal, restore, and
deliver will truly occur.
Pastor Kim: Of course, you are correct, Lord. The pastor
from Hope Church has come all the way here. He has
traveled from the city of Su Won. What kind of ministry
are you expecting him to operate? Are you expecting a
Fire ministry?
Jesus to pastor form Su Won: What are you attempting to
change? You have two different thoughts. What is your
desire?
Pastor Kim: He said he would like a Holy Spirit movement
ministry, Lord.
Jesus to pastor from Su Won: You have a personality like
steel. I desire you to have one thing in your mind.
Throw away all of your stereotypes. I desire you to be
soft and tender like clay. If I pour down the ministry
of the Holy Spirit movement on those who possess a
strong personality, they will go through many
difficulties. Therefore, if I grant this request now,
you will face many hardships.
Only when your personality becomes soft like clay and
refined gold with all impurities cleansed, I can then
approve your request for the Holy Spirit ministry.
Rather than focusing on this particular type of
ministry, I desire you to perform your best on your
current situation. I desire you to wait on God's time.
I desire you to first perform the work that is currently
in your hands. You must flexible like clay. I desire all
your personal thoughts, plans, and goals to be broken
that are in your mind. I desire you to put everything
down and start over. It is time to remold yourself. Do
not assume or be shaped by another man's word or by your
perception with what you see or have seen. Do not create
yourself a personal standard. Do not create your own
criteria. The words that are spoken from men are mixed
with impurities. They do not always deliver directly
what I desire. Their words are mixed with their own
hypocrisy and disguise. Therefore, when you digest their
words, you will become hardened, not softened. As a
result, you will have heart that can only accommodate a
few.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I must ask one more
question. I am sorry. There are some people, churches,
or organizations that condemn us as a cult. They are
making an effort to persecute us. They are defining us
as a cult to other people. What is your view on this
matter?
Jesus: My beloved servant, do not let others define the
standard. All those I utilize in the Holy Spirit
ministry and with those I use powerfully will be and are
criticized. People who criticize and judge do not have a
correct knowledge of the bible and of God. As a result,
they define a standard and judge Me with their criteria
and limited human knowledge. Therefore, I am grieving.
With this last day generation, I truly desire to save
many souls through many servants. However, many of my
servants are not proper vessels in which I can pour down
my power. They have defined a standard based on their
knowledge, criteria, common sense, and their external
perception of the physical realm. This is why I can not
pour My Spirit upon them. I can not open their spiritual
realm. Even if I were to show them the spiritual realm,
they would measure and evaluate it based on their
standard and knowledge. They will define it as error or
counterfeit. They will not open their heart to receive
Me.
My beloved servant, do not create any standard. You must
always view and take our relationship very seriously.
Just keep your eyes on Me. What ever you are doing now,
do not be so concerned with how the world with evaluate
you. I will judge them fiercely!
Pastor Kim: Lord, I have one last question, please
forgive me.
Jesus: Very well, I already know that you would have one
more question, hahahaha!
Pastor Kim: There is a young unmarried pastor who
frequently attends our church. He has had a girlfriend
for some time but he broke up with her a couple days
ago. The other church members had prophecized over him
that his girlfriend was not the one for him and that the
Lord was not pleased with her. We are well aware with
our free will, we are allowed to date or meet who we
chose. What is your view on this, Lord?
Jesus: It does not matter how many people can give
another person a word or advice. A person's spouse has
been prearranged and destined. Before the person can
meet their destined spouse, I desire the person to be
spiritually trained. Generally, the person is not able
to find their destined spouse because their training was
incomplete. It is not important whether a person finds
the destined spouse early or late, I desire to grant you
the person who you really need. Time is not that
important, meeting the destined person is important.
Pastor Kim: Jesus, Brother Yoon Jung Suh has made a vow
to you many times. He has vowed to live a single life.
Lord, have you received his vow?
Jesus: People are not asking Me of My will but instead
they are attempting to employ Me. This is why I am not
able to grant a deeper Holy Spirit ministry to them.
Many people have obstacles in their lives which prevent
me from using them as desired vessels. Oh, My beloved
ones, I desire you to always ask My will first. Throw
away the type of faith that never grows. Stop praying as
though you are giving me a report of your will in which
you are seeking my unconditional approval. I want you to
become mature.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I am sorry for continually
asking questions. I do not have many opportunities as
such as now. Can you please answer some short questions
from each of the church members and attendants who are
here today? Lord?
Jesus: I am not able to equally speak to all of them
because there some are able to receive while some are
not. Moreover, some answers require a private audience.
This is why I am not able to speak in public in regards
to their personal questions.
Pastor Kim: Lord, please show me our heavenly home.
Lord, please show everyone here. For those who attend
the Lord's Church to come praise and dance humorously,
will their homes be built greater?
Jesus: Hahaha, does that humorous dance make you joyous?
Hahaha, I am laughing because of you. I love your
clumsiness and your absurd behavior. Your every action
is joyous to Me. I therefore desire all of you to love
the immaturity and weakness of others.
Pastor Kim: Lord, is all of the homes for the members of
the Lord's Church located in the front or near the
throne of heaven? I do not have much wisdom and it is
difficult for me to sometimes comprehend. Please provide
an answer.
Jesus: There are many things in which I can not disclose
to you. As I have already stated, you are on a need to
know basis. All of you impatiently want to know
everything but there are certain things in which I have
not opened. In time, I will show you certain things.
Pastor Kim: Lord, I am very short of laborers.
Jesus: Do not incline toward the right or the left, you
must persevere and continue to perform My ministry by
standing firm. It is my job to send you people.
Therefore, do not worry. But in a short time, you will
have to be trained with your sheep in some areas from
the altar. There are many areas in which you need to be
trimmed and molded. Based on the rate of growth, I will
send laborers in due time. As for now, persevere and
pray for My ministry and glory. I will gather.
Pastor Kim: I give all the glory and gratitude to you,
Lord. Lord, please give words to your beloved daughter
who is on the floor, flat on her stomach.
Female Pastor: (Sobbing) God! With my human perception,
I have regretted it many times for taking on the
responsibility of a pastor.....There are so many
obstacles, I am not equipped, and there are so many
things I am afraid of. As a female servant, I am limited
with so many things. I am so discouraged, so frequently,
Lord?
Jesus: My beloved daughter, even before you knew Me, I
have made and created you to be My servant. Until you
had become a pastor and even after you had became a
pastor, I was working on your behalf mobilizing many
people. Why are you so frequently disappointed and
discouraged My beloved daughter. Your desires are for
people and through your desires, I desire people to be
healed by your touch. I desire restoration for those you
touch. I desire you to embrace the sick and outcast.
From hereon, I desire to accomplish restoration through
you. It is not about you. It is not about your will. You
can not have it based on your will. It is not based on
your strength to continue or stop. I want you to
understand this.
I desire to give you peace but it must come My way. I
desire to grow you one step at a time but that must come
My way as well. I desire you to be happy but you must
obtain it My way. I desire you to throw out your
knowledge, thoughts, common sense, and personal plans.
From hereon, I desire you to be a new creature in Me.
When you enter the new plan, you will be at peace,
grateful, and happy.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, thank you. May I continue
or should I stop, Lord?
Jesus: As all of you pray, I desire to meet you
individually. I desire to give words to each person. I
do not desire to give word in public since some are
private. Some words are not for others to hear. Each one
of you should seek Me and meet Me. I desire to speak to
you all. I desire to show and converse with you all.
Pastor Kim: Together, let us sing. 'Oh, praise My soul.'
Let us hum it.
Female Pastor: (Seeing a vision) I see our corporate
praising gather together to create five different colors
of cloud. Oh the angels are also praising together. The
angels are praising as they are blowing beautiful golden
trumpets. The Lord is singing with us as He is raising
His hands on high! I have opened my heart with joy and I
give glory to God. I am happy and grateful. I give all
the glory to God. Oh Lord, please I give you all the
glory! I see many souls in heaven gathered together.
There is a celebration going on. I see many souls
dancing in the Spirit with angels. Right now, the angels
want to dance with us by holding our hands. Move your
hands as the Holy Spirit leads you. Move your heart and
your feet to dance. The angels are grabbing each one of
your hands. Oh Lord, we give you the glory! Oh Lord, we
give you the glory! Please raise the volume. The Holy
Spirit is now moving you. Raise the volume. Move and
flow with the Holy Spirit as He leads you. In heaven,
the angels are dancing together. Beautiful fragrance is
descending from above. Smell it as you dance. There are
10,000 different fragrances descending. Exalts God! Oh
Lord, we praise you! Oh Lord, we give you the glory! If
anyone here has pain in their arm, stand up and move
your arm freely. The Lord is healing you now.
Those who have pain in their body, please try to move
freely. God is giving you freedom with your arms and
legs. People, who have difficulty in breathing, breathe
deeply, inhale and exhale. God is touching your heart
right now. The people, who have headaches, raise your
head high and dance. The people who have pain in your
lower stomach, pat your stomachs and dance circling. The
Holy Fire is entering you. God is touching the people
with harden hearts who are depressed. Sadness is now
leaving and your heart is refreshing. Look at the Lord
as you open your heart. Peace is now on you. Anxiety and
worrying is leaving. Oh, what a happy day. Oh Lord, what
a happy day. Oh Lord, their arms are free. Oh Lord, my
legs are free. All who have pain in the back, bend
forward up and down move freely. The Lord is now
touching your back.
All who desire to sing please sing in the Spirit now. If
the song comes out in tongue, sing in tongue. If
humming, then hum the song. Move your hand as the Spirit
leads. If you want to raise your voices, raise them. You
can now sing in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is now
touching your lips and tongue. If you sing as the Holy
Spirit guides you, you will sing in the Spirit. When you
praise in the Spirit, you will experience the deeper
grace of the Holy Spirit. Through your mouth, the Holy
Spirit is entering deeper into your spirit. Now with the
guidance or impression given to you by the Holy Spirit,
the people who feel trapped or suffocated shout out. The
evil spirits are leaving. Your mind will be refreshed. A
celebration in heaven and in this building is taking
place. The Lord is dancing. He is dancing as He holds
your hands. Now, if any one of you has a wish, speak it
out now. Speak it out loudly. If you are hoping for
something, ask God now before Him.
God has said He will make your wish come true since He
is very pleased. If you are praying for your children,
let Him know. Tell God of all your concerns and joys. If
any of you have a problem in your household, ask God in
this time to restore your families. I want to make a vow
to God right now. If you have anything that needs to be
changed, now is the time to ask and make a vow to God.
If there is anyone you hate, make a vow to the Lord that
you will forgive. Promise the Lord by interlocking your
little pinky finger to His. Promise to Him as you are in
His bosom. Promise as you look at Him. Write it on the
Lord's bosom with your finger. Hallelujah! I give all
the glory to the Lord.
* The Lord escorts me to visit hell
Early morning, on October 18, 2007, an angel visited the
Lord's Church. This particular angel was the one who had
guided and escorted us in heaven. As we prepared to
visit hell, the angel arrived with several more of his
subordinate angels. We all then went to hell together.
The heavenly angels had arrived riding on what appeared
to be copper colored chariots. As soon as we entered the
entrance of hell, the color of the chariots darkened.
The pathway that was laid in front of us appeared
endless. When I looked up, the sky appeared very high
but at the same time it felt like a ceiling. I saw many
ropes hanging down from above. There was enormous number
of meats, chunks of meat hanging on hooks tied to the
ropes. The chunk of meats hanging on the hooks reminded
me of a butcher shop. I then noticed the chunk of meats
was the souls of people and they were hanging alive.
Some of the souls had their whole bodies hanging, while
some had their legs missing. Some hooks only had the
heads of the live souls while some hooks had just the
legs hanging.
Pastor Kim: Lord! Lord! Who are these people? What have
they done to deserve such torment here?
Jesus: These souls are very pathetic. They have
committed miserable sins. They were full of greed and
evil thoughts. Their evil filled a pot like filthy dirty
water. Observe very closely. All of their nerves are
alive and moving.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I continue to visit hell
and observe where the corrupted Christians go. Lord,
please escort me as you personally hold my hand! This is
scary! Please show me what the real sin of blaspheming
the Holy Spirit is about. Please show me the Christians
who are ending up in hell because they have committed
the sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit! Please show it
to me in detail.
Jesus: Pastor Kim, you will now witness the place where
you had previously visited in hell. You will see the
people who have committed the sin of blaspheming the
Holy Spirit. Observe very closely!
The Lord and I arrived in a place where a rail road
track was laid out. The place appeared to be a large
mine. We followed the rail road and walked deeper into
the path. I noticed there were endless numbers of rooms
on the side of the rail road tracks. The rooms reminded
me of warehouses or a very large tube. The depths of the
rooms were so deep that I was not able to measure it in
my mind. I could not express in words with what I was
seeing. Then their appearances began to be exposed. The
people who had committed the sin of blaspheming the Holy
Spirit were wearing clothes that looked different from
the outside than the inside. The exterior appearance of
the clothes looked fashionable, gorgeous, and with
authority. The clothes represented their authority or
high position. As the Lord looked upon them, he sighed
with a long heavy breath.
Jesus: Huuuu...tut tut tut, what should I do? Yong Doo!
Pastor Kim! My heart is aching very much and it is torn
in pieces. It did not matter how much I spoke to them,
their ears were closed. They totally did not listen to
Me. My voice could not even be heard in their hearts.
Their spirits were hardened like cast iron. No matter
how much I spoke to them, they would not hear Me.
Furthermore, they would not even attempt to listen and
they even refused Me when I tried to touch them. My
piteous children. What should I do now? What can I do
now?
Oh My beloved sons and daughters! My poor children, my
pathetic children! Do you not know how much I loved you
and treated you preciously? How many times I had
embraced you but you could not hear because your ears
were clogged and your eyes were covered and darkened.
You could not discern the truth. You became mercenaries
and you let knowledge lead you rather than truth lead
you. You hypocrites! If I had only raised animals rather
than you, the animals would have not come out like you.
The souls that fill My heart full of pain. I am deeply
aching in My heart. You said that you lived by love. You
even said that you are the one who practiced love. You
frequently said that you would serve the church by
giving all of your life. My poor souls who were lead
away. You were lead away by the temptations of the
world. You followed other idols, became spiritually
blind and deaf. You could no longer discern! As you
lived your life on earth, many sins were operating on
earth. However, among all the sins, there are sins that
make Me grieve the most. Do you not know the pain I
felt? The pain was like flesh melting.
Sin is what I hate the most. I can not exchange the sin
with your tears. Your confession is not enough, even
though you have given all of your body, it is not
enough. What am I to do with your enormous sin? Once you
had confessed with your lips, "My Father, My God, My
Living God!" But then you lost your chance as you could
no longer speak it out of your lying lips. Now, there is
nothing that can be done! What am I suppose to do now?
You have come here due to your closed eyes and ears. Cry
out! Make your confession! But as you know better now,
it is useless!
The people on earth who still have an opportunity to
repent must repent! You who are here now have obstructed
My way! You have blocked My will and have threw a party
in My name! Through that party, how much benefit did you
reap? You have slaughtered My beloved sheep and wholly
devoured them as your sacrifice. You then made them your
monument for your name. You have mobilized all types of
methods and ways in My name for your benefit! Now I
speak against you!
You who confessed only with your lips, you had never
belonged to Me! You had created dark graves in the
church. You will be dissolved into the grave of the
hypocrites! Do you still not understand what I am
staying? You have so lightly handled My words. You had
not given thought to My words. You had not listened to
My words. You had rationalized according to your
thoughts. You were seeking all things for your benefit
as you stood on your own side.
The souls who I love are not seeking themselves. They
are pure spirits. They are clean spirits who are
cleansed by My blood. You are familiar with the word
'blood' but you had nothing to do with the precious
blood, not at all! You are like wolves who looked
everywhere for their prey. You looked everywhere to
locate my beloved sheep. Once you had found them, you
devoured them. Now, I curse you! Your eternity will now
be ruled by the torment of hell!
When you were on earth, you looked at all things and
issues and said, "Oh, I have such happiness! The
blessings are found in the church. I have all the
blessings!" But when you boasted and shouted out that
everything in the world is yours, you have now ended up
here in hell. You did not know your own destruction. No
one knew, not even the wind. Now, you will be broken
down and destroyed. Do you not know you were creating
your dwelling place? All of your acts are written in a
book. Now, this dark dwelling place is your home. You
had already offered your name to the devil and his
subordinates. Therefore, in this end time during the
harvest, like empty wheat, you have fallen into this
place as a fallen dead leaf. You will be forever damned.
Pastor Kim: Is the sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit
that fearful?
Jesus: That is correct. Observe very closely!
I saw many men and women dressed in pastoral gowns
sitting on chairs and they were surrounded by fierce
fire. The chairs were made of black metal. The seating
area appeared as a iron plate. The iron chairs were
endlessly placed in a row. Once the person was seated,
something automatically grabbed and secured them so they
could not move. Instantly from below the chairs blazed
fierce flames of fire. The flames were severely strong.
I was not able to get close due to the heat. They
screamed, "Ugh! Save me! Lord, we did not know! Why are
you doing this to me?"
A strange event was occurring. As the red bluish flames
gradually spread throughout their bodies, not a single
eyebrow or hair was burning or damaged. Flames wrapped
around their whole bodies. They felt brutal pain but
were not destroyed. Complete destruction did not come
upon them, only pain and more pain. All they could do
was miserably scream in pain.
"Jesus! Ugh! It is hot! Why do I have to be in here? For
what reason have I come here?"
Many people who held positions of spiritual authority
were in here. There were many who stated that they knew
much about Jesus. Swarms of people who researched the
word of God were in here. Those who had discretely
researched the word and interpreted based on their human
knowledge were here.
I witnessed many demons tormenting the souls. The demons
were in such joy. This particular place in hell was like
an oversized arena. I can only express it this way. It
was very large, broad, and there were so many. It was
numerous and uncountable.
Pastor Kim: Jesus, do I have to describe the scene and
journalize it in the book? Lord, is this a place where I
had frequently come to be tormented?
Jesus: My beloved servant, you have already seen this
place many times. You had frequently visited this place
and were tormented in pain. Do you know how difficult if
was to look at you while you were being tormented?
Because of you and your experience, many souls will not
come here. There will be many pastors who will be wide
awake.
Now, I want my servants who are still in the world to
listen to My words. I want them to participate in My
Holy Fire ministry. In this last generation, you must
work the ministry through the power of the Holy Fire.
You must receive the power of the Holy Fire. But there
are not many out there. I am now granting an opportunity
to restore My people and Israel. I desire many corrupted
servants to repent and come back to Me. I desire them to
lead the Holy Spirit movement ministry. My desire is for
every one of you to witness hell as you lead the
ministry. But many of you are in unbelief or in doubt.
Pastor Kim, you must journalize what I have said.
Pastor Kim: Lord, why did you put me through the fire
and burnt me into a charcoal? That was too much! it is
not one but many times!
Jesus: Hahahaha, Pastor Kim, you must experience all
that is included as part of God's plan. But even though
you proclaim what you have experienced to the people,
they will not believe you! You must have already
realized that not even your relatives fully believe you.
They are still doubtful. This is very regrettable. I
desire many souls to experience and know but they are
far from heaven and hell.
Pastor Kim: Lord, why did you take me to the Viking of
hell? It was horrible. My whole body was torn into
pieces. I thought I was going to die from the torment of
pain. Lord, I can not go on like this anymore. It is too
difficult. Please do not let me go to hell. Are you able
to make this possible?
Jesus: Yes, I know Pastor Kim, My beloved son. I really
do know how difficult it is. But you have a mission to
complete. You must disclose the information of hell.
There is nothing I can do. However, I will grant you
enormous power and I will use you. Therefore, do not
concern yourself with the words of other people. Do not
be concerned about your circumstances. I will always
protect you. You will have a huge reward in heaven.
Pastors and other leaders are following the concerns and
views of their people. They are lead by reason.
Associations assemble to focus and discuss the matters
of the view of people. They make decisions based on
their church politics and what is popular. They become
politically correct.
Even though they claim to assemble in the name of God,
their end result has always been on the interest of
people. As I see them, My heart aches and grieves for
them very much. They are not doing My true will. As a
heart of a parent who endlessly waits for a run away
child, I am also waiting for them to come back and
repent. They have become merchant traders of the clergy.
They are buying and selling the pulpit.
Pastor Kim: Lord, do you still approve of those servants
who are trading for profit? If not, will you judge them?
Jesus: My beloved servant, why are you so hasty
yourself? You are attempting to understand through basic
logic, looking at it simply as black and white. Listen
to Me carefully. My beloved son, those are not the rules
or traditions I have created. Those rules and traditions
were created by men for their own conveniences. In the
past, reformation took place because of the traditions
of men. Why do you practice what was former? Those rules
or traditions were not created by Me and therefore is
not worthy for discussion. The Father, Holy Spirit, and
I are not pleased at all. Why are these people
oppressing the members of their congregation? What about
the souls that are living in poverty?
Pastor Kim: Lord, thank you. My beloved Lord, how will
the baptism by Holy blazing fire spread throughout the
world?
Jesus: Soon, all of you will witness with your very own
eyes and it will be confirmed. Like a small spark
ignited on a hill in the spring time, a fire will spread
out fast. And when it is put out, the little embers will
not die but continue to spread and create more fires.
The Holy Spirit will pour out on every church and every
leader who greatly desires and hungers for God. The Holy
Spirit will pour down on pastors, lay believers, and
even little souls in this last generation. Pastor Kim,
through you, the fire ministry will ignite continuously.
There will be many occurrences of repentance,
integration, and changes. However, it will be limited to
the people who receive it as the truth and believe it
with an open heart. I will use them as powerful vessels
and pathways. Then again, on the flip side, many will
not believe and even ostracize you.
Many souls are zealously studying and preparing to
become my disciples. But the end or last discipline is
death. Disciplinary training without death is but void.
Its a void that is a sound of echo.
The last generation is so wicked that the people will
not believe unless they are able to witness themselves
with their own eyes. Since Father, Holy Spirit, and I
are aware of the mentality of men, we are granting the
power of the Holy Spirit to prove to man that We are
truly living in their spirit. Including believers, many
people in this world based on their external ways appear
to be believers. However, from the heart, they are
really living a life of faith that is irrelevant to the
Lord. Since many are living lives not approved by God,
the Father, Holy Spirit, and I are illustrating evidence
that We are the true living God through the Holy Fire.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, I am very surprised to find
out that many in the fire ministry are faking it. They
create their own counterfeit Holy dance. Lord, you have
utilized us to discern the lie. You have used the weak
servants such as us. Through the powerful Holy fire
given by Trinity God, many false servants have been
revealed.
Within the Korean churches, there are so many false Holy
Fire ministries, false prophecy, false gifts, and etc. I
am perplexed and do not know what to do. In fact, some
are frequently advertising in the daily newspaper in
regards to their false claims. They tempt the ignorant
Christians. How can I accept what is going on? What can
I do to stop this? Lord, what would you prescribe?
Jesus: The people who are in close spiritual fellowship
with Me will be able to discern and know. For those
using human knowledge and those who are seeking a
spiritual manifestation phenomenon, I will provide the
evidence that I am the living God. But for those who
meet Me faithfully in a secret place will be able to
discern and know. I am not able to tell you all things
at this moment. However, for the completion of My
absolute ministry of the gospel during this end time, I
will unfold all that I have planned onto the world.
Pastor Kim: Who is touching my head?
Holy Spirit: It is I, the Holy Spirit, the one who loves
you. It is your God who is always with you. I am the God
who observes your inner heart, even to the smallest
action. I am watching you with the apple of My eye.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, Holy Spirit, thank you.
When I had visited the secret room in heaven which I
journal in book three, Jehovah, the Father met me. He
showed Himself to me in a way I was able to understand
and feel His presence. I would like to visit the room
one more time. Perhaps, you can take me one more time?
Jesus: I do not have any plans to take you there at this
time. If you are finished with today's writing, we must
visit hell as soon as possible. Ready?
Pastor Kim: Jesus, many of the churches that had a
revival meeting with me prayed fervently after the
meeting. However, after a few months, they could not
overcome the trials and tests and did not get over their
crisis. Some have gradually degenerated toward the wrong
way. Lord, what should I do?
There have been some people who have visited our church
and their motives have become corrupted. Moreover, there
are some who have had their spiritual eyes opened while
reading all five fire books. There are some who have
attended our church for a period. Some in all those
groups have caused much trouble. What is your view on
this, Lord?
Jesus: My beloved servant, you are very sensitive, are
you not? I desire you to embrace all the souls with the
likeness of My heart. Although, at times, they may
gossip, speak against you behind your back and their
faults and mistakes are exposed, do not be so concerned
about it. If you concern yourself with it too much, you
will not be able to perform a great ministry. The most
important thing is that I have chosen and appointed you.
You have been disciplined much. Even now and hereafter,
many various types of people will come and be obedient.
I will send you many souls. They will come on their own
accord. Some will come through the will of others. Some
will hurt and wound you.
My servant, even though I desire them to be with you as
you perform the ministry, some of them will betray you
and some will use you. You must not initially open all
of your heart but skillfully discern them out. Even with
their errors and faults exposed, educate them with love
and prune them to the Lord's army.
Pastor Kim: Lord, what if the people return back to us
and continue to make trouble? What should I do then?
Jesus: At least they have come back to you. Consider it
grateful. However, there will be souls who will not
return. Those who fall away will gather together to one
another and be in contact with one another. But there is
already division in their heart. Not too far thereafter,
they will feel their loneliness. They will wonder around
and will eventually come back one at a time. You must
keep praying for them with a merciful heart and embrace
them. Alright, my beloved servant? Understand what I am
saying to you. I will believe in you to the end. Embrace
them as if you are nurturing little children with a
loving heart just as I embrace you. I desire you to bind
their wound so that they will not be in pain.
* The people who have fallen away
I would like to discuss about some of the church members
who have fallen away. At first, when the church members
began to have their spiritual eyes opened, Sister Baek,
Bong Nyu was with us initially at the beginning.
However, she fell away due to a man from outside our
church. They seduced and deluded one another. Now, both
of them are in the country side somewhere. Sister Baek,
Bong Nyu fell for the main reason of refusing to obey
and refusing to discern the spirit.
Many people have misunderstood in thinking that only the
Holy Spirit is at work when their spiritual eyes are
opened. As a result, a big mistake can occur. Once the
spiritual eyes are opened for a person and he/she begins
their ministry, the evil spirits will attack
relentlessly. The spirit of occult, delusion, and
confusion will insanely come after that person. The evil
spirits will disguise themselves with the various
appearances of Jesus. If we do not discern the evil
spirits, we will make fatal mistakes. The outcome will
be obvious and we will lead many souls in the wrong
direction.
Haak Sung followed his mother just because she was his
mother (Baek, Bong Nyu). But when he left the church for
his mother, his spiritual eyes became shut. He
eventually returned to the Lord's Church without telling
his mother. Whenever he returns to the Lord's Church,
his spiritual eyes are restored but when he returns to
his mother, his spirituality gets shut again. He
repeated this process three times. When he returned each
time, he was heavily weighted by evil spirits.
The conclusion is self evident. My son and the families
of the Lord's Church had discerned that powerful demons
were sitting inside Baek, Bong Nyu counterfeiting Jesus.
The powerful demons were first ranked, AKA the invisible
demon or angel demon. The demon was controlling her with
the appearance of Jesus. I do not know the where about
of her granddaughter, Mina. She is in an orphanage.
Baek, Bong Nyu had eventually broken somebody's marriage
and family.
How on earth can a person who had visited heaven and
hell do such a thing? This incident had made me weary
for a long time. This incident has actually been a
burden in my life.
When I asked the Lord, "Lord, Lord, how can this be? I
have taken care of them with my tears and prayers. I
feel so sorry for those souls, what should I do?" The
Lord, with streams of tears running down, to me to pray
for them and endure until the end. Among Sister Baek,
Bong Nyu family, only Brother Haak Sung stayed. As he
continues his spiritual training, he is firmly holding
his ground.
One time, a family from the city of Ulsan had visited
the Lord's Church. A young girl who appeared to be in
the second or third grade prophesized. Her spiritual
eyes were opened as well. This particular family wanted
to distinguish whether the daughter's spiritual
awakening was from the Holy Spirit. When our church
members saw her, a demon disguised as the appearance of
Jesus was exposed. The demon was controlling her. The
demon was very close to imitating Jesus. We explained to
them and they became very upset. They then just left.
The parents had some basic scripture knowledge. They had
the ability to discern with their basic knowledge of
scripture but they did not discern. They instead blindly
trusted the words of their daughter.
There was another family from the city of Mokpo who had
a similar situation. Of course, I understand the fact
that parents would like to believe that the spiritual
experiences of their children are from God. But if it is
not right, it is not right. It is all the same,
including my children, Joseph and Joo Eun. We are all
subject to the same dangers. I have trained my children
to read the Word of God diligently and to pray every
day. I have further trained them to use God's power and
words to discern the spirits.
With the case of Sister Baek, Bong Nyu, I had trained
and educated her about discernment and faith. However,
she had become deluded and ended up misunderstanding the
Godhead or Trinity God. She was insisting that Father
God played the role of a father in law and that Jesus
was a husband to her. Baek, Bong Nyu persistently
insisted her relationship to Jesus was a husband and
wife as a marriage defined on earth. Moreover, she just
spoke nonsense. She made the claim that when the
Israelis crossed the red sea with Moses, the Egyptian
army had pursued them on boats. When the members of the
Lord's Church evaluated her, it was clear that the evil
spirits were causing this delusion. With the evil
spirits exposed, Baek, Bong Nyu decided to flee. She was
deluded and to this day has not come to repentance.
Most people are severely attracted to spiritual gifts
such as prophecy, spiritual vision, dreams, and etc. In
fact, they would die for those gifts. Some people are
making sarcastic remarks such as 'The only thing the
Lord's Church knows is to receive gifts, dance in the
Spirit and perform deliverances.' But that is not true.
The Lord's Church has always led a balanced and harmonic
ministry. I personally think it is very rare to observe
any church such as ours that keep Sundays Holy or in
keeping the Word of God properly. We are keeping Sabbath
Holy by completely keeping Sundays Holy. We forbid
spending any personal money on Sundays. Yet, we are not
proud of this fact. We do not boast of it. Instead, when
we witness other churches or Christians not keeping
Sundays Holy, we intercede on their behalf with the
heart of the Lord. We do not condemn them, we in fact
have compassion on them and we eagerly hope that they
would one day keep Sundays Holy.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, there are some folks from
the churches in which I had held revival meetings and
some folks who had their spiritual eyes opened at our
church speaking incorrect statements. I believe they are
speaking these statements due to their lack of proper
spiritual discernment. Moreover, they insist that angels
have a gender such as a male or female angel. They also
believe Father God is a male. When someone asks them at
where they obtained their spiritual vision, they claim
that their spiritual eyes were opened at the Lord's
Church. They are blaming their wrong theology and faith
on us, the Lord's Church.
My beloved Lord, I think I must consider a realistic
solution or plan in regards to spiritual discernment.
Lord, please grant me a good solution. Please advise me
so that the churches in Korea and the gifted people are
not confused.
Jesus: Very well. Unless the physical bodies of people
grow, complete stability and maturity cannot be
achieved. They are like little children, they are more
susceptible to illness from bacteria or viruses when
exposed. Many servants who have received spiritual gifts
have been damaged by demons. Bacteria and viruses are
like demons to people in the spiritual realm. As you,
Pastor Kim, witness these problems, you are aware since
you are sensitive to this matter. Pastor Kim, do not try
to fix everything all by yourself! Do not attempt to
compensate the deficiencies with your own thoughts which
occur in your spiritual ministry. If you do many side
effects will occur. Even if they have received a spirit
of delusion and become degenerated, they themselves will
realize their delusion through their mistake they had
made.
All the problems and spiritual incidents on earth will
be dealt with by God. Therefore, your job is to fulfill
the ministry that I have entrusted you. Perform the job
with a desired and loving heart for God. It is God who
touches, reigns, and grows all. You must intercede on
their behalf with a loving heart. Embrace them and over
look their mistakes.
Pastor Kim: Amen, thank you Lord. My beloved Lord, I
truly have a lot of distresses. Some people have said
for us not to cast out evil spirits from people. When we
perform deliverance, some people would spit, vomit, and
burp out the evil spirits. However, some people have
said that this method is not necessary. If they are
correct, how long must we continue our type of
deliverance ministry?
Jesus: When your point of view comes from faith, it is
considered important. Your ministry has been granted by
Me. Therefore, do not concern yourself with such matters
but endure it. This type of ministry is not something in
which anyone is able to just perform at their own
discretion. The identities of the evil spirits are
exposed only through powerful prayer. People who create
arguments and doubt are setting their own standards
based on their pride and judgment toward others. They do
not have the ability to pray as you do. They have fallen
into their own rationalization and logic. Furthermore,
they are attempting to compromise your position as they
are either envious or feel threatened. Have you not
figured this out, Pastor Kim? You are aware of the many
piteous souls that have been either healed or restored.
Do not concern yourself with what others say. I am not
pleased when people condemn and judge others just
because they do not have the same type of ministry. They
will eventually fall into great judgment.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, why do you handle the
pastors so harshly? Many pastors are very worried and
troubled after reading the fire books. Lord, is it
possible for the pastors to return as lay believers?
Jesus: That is not possible. Pastors are the leaders who
are to guide souls. If they become corrupt, what will
happen to the souls that are under them? Many pastors
contend for the preeminence of who is the pastor for
mega churches or small churches. As a result, the
pastors condemn, look down, and judge one another. I
will harshly and completely handle the pastors who have
been ordained and anointed by Me as My servants.
Therefore, those who have been destined to be pastors
must always walk in caution and evaluate oneself. They
must guard themselves and be aware they can become
corrupt or degenerated. When pastor go wrong, they will
receive great and fierce judgment. A common mistake many
pastors are making is they are making My day (Lord's
Day) unclean. They perform many immoral acts. I know
very well that they are committing unlawful acts. They
are also persecuting My people who speaks in tongue.
They say, 'Why do you speak in tongue out loud in the
church when we do not understand it?' They do not know
the importance or value of My gifts. They are mocking
Me, they say they desire Me and the Holy Spirit. They
only know their own limitation, just their own standard
of judgment. The people who refuse or reject the Holy
Spirit will receive great judgment.
Pastor Kim: My beloved Lord, in conclusion, please give
us a final word.
Jesus: My beloved people and to those who desire to hear
My voice, many people are saying that they want and
desire the Lord. But their heads are filled and
preserved with knowledge. I see their lives are not
changing; it is like a hardened fossil. They claim and
say that My words are alive in them but their thoughts
and knowledge is so steadfast that it will not change or
soften. Please evaluate yourself, and see if you are
unchangeable.
I want you to feel My love with your heart, not by your
lips. There are many things that are important and they
are all precious but what I expect from you is that you
have the love of Christ in your heart. Do not speak or
converse from what is external or visual. Do not value
or judge from what you hear.
My beloved people, there are many little immature
children. They are people who can only take dissolved
milk. They are filled with many deficiencies and they
make many mistakes. But I love them all as well. Love
and overlook their weaknesses. You must serve them more
and be one with one another. Do not judge or slander one
another but I desire all of you to be a person who can
assist in each others shortcomings. In order for you to
reach heaven, you must triumph many fierce secular and
spiritual trials and battles. The end time in which you
are now living has become very difficult to stand firm.
It will be very difficult for one to stand firm if
he/she is not able to win the battles.
From hereafter, I earnestly desire your spirits to be
bright lights. When the spirit of a person darkens,
his/her eyes will also become darkened. As a result,
he/she will not be able to discern even if they are able
to see or hear. I want you to illuminate yourselves
through your spiritual truth and light. I want you to
evaluate your situation or position so that you may know
where you stand. My beloved people, in this end time, if
you do not put on the power of the Holy Spirit, you will
be a victim to the many dark evil spirits who are like
devouring lions and they will aim their fierce arrows at
you. You must guard and protect your heart from sin.
If you do not open the door of your heart or thoughts to
sin, then satan can not enter into you with his free
will. Therefore, when it comes to making a choice or
decision, I want you to be more careful and thoughtful.
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor
among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish
you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their
work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Now we
exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort
the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward
all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any
man; but ever follow that which is good, both among
yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray
without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is
the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench
not the Spirit. Despise not prophesying. Prove all
things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all
appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul
and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who
also will do it. Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the
brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord
that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (1
Thessalonians 5:12-28)
Chapter 3
* Experiencing the Holy Blazing Fire Baptism
Case 1 - Testimony of Pastor Chae, Eun Kyu from the
Church of Everdin, USA.
Before I give my testimony, I would first like to remind
everyone that will read the testimonies that our
criteria in spiritual faith are the Word of God and
Jesus Christ as our center. If we place our experimental
faith before Christ, we will then rely on
experimentalism and our faith will be distorted. I would
like to make a statement. Whoever falls away from Christ
will eventually become a cult or corrupt. As a result,
their gifts, experiences, and any other special holdings
or thoughts will become tatter. Therefore, I would like
to make it very clear that these testimonies can not be
placed above the bible or Christ. It is only a tool to
prove true the whole Word of God.
* Go to the city of Kwang Ju
My mother suddenly told me to go to the city of Kwang
Ju. It was February 20th, 2007, 5:30 AM. As a Korean
church in America, we usually began our early Morning
Prayer meeting at 6 AM.
After leading my Sunday service in church, I drove to
Tacoma to visit my mother. My sisters and I spent the
night at my mother's. It was a Tuesday; I woke up early
in the morning to prepare for early morning service
which was located near my mother's home. My mother
sleeps in living room so I had to tip toe as not to wake
her up. I had to walk through the living room to get to
the outside. As I quietly walked across, my mother
suddenly rose up with her upper body straight up. With
her eyes closed, she spoke, "Go to Kwang Ju!" My mother
has a hard time hearing well and I know she did not hear
me tip toe across the living room. But as she spoke
those words, I was right besides her as I walked by. I
was greatly startled.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
"I don't know, somebody spoke those words in my ears and
I did not even realize what I was shouting when my lips
moved."
As I arrived at the Tacoma Korean Central Presbyterian
Church led by Pastor Lee, Hyung Suk, I attempted to calm
myself from the early morning experience. Even as I sang
hymns, prayed, and listened to the sermon, my mind was
on one thing. 'Go to Kwang Ju.' I did not have any room
for any other thoughts. Nevertheless, during that time,
I was deeply concerned with my ministry. My current
ministry was stagnant and not going anywhere. Moreover,
I was in agony from experiencing repeating dreams. My
current place or situation was me constantly asking God
what His will was for my life.
On the same day I attended the church, my sister Grace
gave me series of the three books, 'Baptize by Blazing
Fire.' I read all of them in one breath. I thought to
myself, 'If this is real, there is no other way for a
breakthrough in my ministry. My ministry was
experiencing difficulties and a crisis. The breakthrough
had to come through prayer. Who is this pastor that can
possibly pray every single day in length? This prayer
that continues all throughout the night. This powerful
prayer that engages and battles with evil spirits. Such
fierce prayer?
From that day forth, I began using my early morning
quiet time to pray at church. My early morning time was
2 AM. I desperately had to know clearly if going to
Kwang Ju was from God. I asked God, "Father God, where
do I go? Father God, what would you like me to do?" I
desperately need to receive the answer. I had prayed for
these two questions for about a month. While I was in
prayer, I also had to fight the evil spirits during my
prayer time. The evil spirits would harass me by choking
my neck. Then on March 12th, my sister gave me Fire book
4.
I read all books within a week. I spent most of my
nights reading the books and then reread them over and
over. I had three questions. First question. 'What kind
of person is this Pastor Kim?' Second question, 'Is the
power of the Holy Spirit described in these books valid
and does it really exist?' Last question, 'If this is
all true, how should I apply it to my ministry and
myself?'
Let me answer the questions ahead of my testimony.
Pastor Kim is God's faithful and sincere servant. All
the power of the Holy Spirit that was described in the
books are valid. I am personally validating through my
experience and what I have witnessed when visiting the
Lord's Church.
Reading the books, I am not envious about their gifts or
experiences. What I am most envy of is the fact that
Pastor Kim and the members of the Lord's Church have a
intimate fellowship with the Lord on a daily basis
through prayer.
I thought to myself, 'If I am so envious about their
fellowship with God, why don't I go to witness and
learn?' I had possessed a strong desire to meet Pastor
Kim. I was envy of him for having such an intimate
relationship with God. I also needed my prayers clearly
answered. I had to go because of my mother's statement
and I needed to validate the contents of the books. On
March 27th, I arrived at a travel agency and booked my
ticket. I made a decision based on a strong impression I
was receiving from inside me.
"Is this Pastor Kim? I am Pastor Chae, Eun Kyu from
Everdin Korean Church in Washington, USA. If you allow
me, I would like to visit your church and have an
intense spiritual training. Please grant me permission."
Pastor Kim replied, "There is no need for permission.
Please visit our church. We welcome you!" This was our
first conversation we had over the phone.
I arrived in Korea on April 11th and flew into Incheon
International Airport. I arrived at the Lord's Church
around 10:30 AM. As soon as I entered the church, I felt
the strong energy of the Holy Spirit. The size of the
church was only about 711 square feet. A member of the
church quickly came to me and took my bags as he led me
in.
I sat at the end on the left side. Someone then
approached me and handed me three hymn books. On the
altar, I saw the small eyed Pastor Kim, Yong Doo dancing
as he sang the hymns. It was a fast paced tempo beat. In
front of the pastor danced six youths. The pastor led
worship using an electrical piano. There was a drummer
drumming in tune. The worship was very different from
any other worship service I had experienced. But
strangely, I became instantly acquainted with this
unique worship. After a short moment, I was fervently
clapping my hands and following their way of worship. I
was able to see myself adapting to their spiritual
training.
About an hour and half had passed since I began
participating the worship service. I think we sang
roughly 25 to 30 songs. The hymns had a quick and fast
tempo; I did not even have a chance to catch my breath.
The hymns were about the blood of Jesus, repentance,
thanksgiving, worshipping, desiring the Holy Spirit, our
commission, and etc. Two hours had now passed and we
were passing midnight.
At around 12:15 AM, the pastor finally began to preach.
He opened his sermon by reading scripture. The sermon
lasted about an hour and half. The content of his sermon
was faith needing to be backed up with action. As he
powerfully preached, he would sometimes make unexpected
humorous and unique gestures and the congregation would
all laugh together. I saw myself assimilated with the
others as I laughed with them.
After the sermon, we finished with the Lord's prayer. We
then took a break for about 15 minutes. During break
time, I had introduced myself to the other members.
There were more people visiting beside me. There were
visitors from the city of Pusan, Gunsan, Kwan Ju, Los
Angeles, and etc. After the introduction, Pastor Kim and
his wife was at the altar. Pastor Kim prayed over his
wife and then she walked back to the rear. She then
gathered the new visiting people and had us form a
circle. She then instructed us to raise both our hands
high facing both our palms together up toward the
ceiling. She then extended her arms out and began
walking around us as she instructed us to shout, "Holy
Spirit! Please move my hands!" She then said that if we
continued to pray, the prayer would be answered and we
will be able to perform the Holy dance.
Sure enough some people's hands moved after a short
time. Before this shocking and interesting scene, I was
concentrating my mind to the Holy Spirit. Within a
moment, I felt a sensation, a refreshing wind. It felt
as though my hand was in a river and I could feel the
cold water rushing against my hand and up to my elbow.
The flow of the refreshing wind was accompanied by a
tingling sensation. I did not understand or know how to
express what I was experiencing. I had never experienced
this before. I was very curios and decided to ask a
question.
Mrs. Kang, Hyun ja explained that the gift was granted
by the Holy Spirit. The operations of the gift is felt
different for each person. My pinky fingers then began
to move. Eventually, all my fingers slowly began to
move. The process repeated and then it movement sped up
quickly. My fingers were basically dancing. My fingers
began moving so rapidly I could not follow the pattern
of the movement. My fingers folded back and forth and my
hands were shaking in a circular fashion. The rhythm of
the motions of my hands and fingers were orderly and
structural. I stopped my prayer and looked at my hands
and fingers as they moved. I was not able to explain
with my words what was happening. My thoughts and
feelings were strange and mysterious. The time was 2 AM.
The people who were around me envied my finger dance.
However, I was more envious with their Holy dances.
The pastor then led us in individual prayers. We cried
out in our prayers. I fiercely devoted myself with
tongue prayer. With my left hand raised into the air and
my right hand on my chest, I prayed rigorously.
My first night quickly passed. At around 3 Am, Pastor
Kim from the pulpit screamed in a sharp tone and groaned
in pain. The pastor's wife instantly stopped her prayer
and grabbed several floor cushions and placed them
around the pastor. The cushions were placed under and
around Pastor Kim to soften his impacts as he would
bounce and struggle on the floor. The other church
members told me that the pastor had injured himself
several times before. I later realized that he was in
the midst of experiencing hell. His painful screaming
and moaning sounded very awful. It took me a long time
to calm myself as my heart rapidly beat during my
prayer.
"Pass through the precious blood of Jesus and into the
bosom of God. Pass through the precious blood of Jesus
into the bosom of Father. I walked forward one step at a
time, into the bosom of God. Passing through the
precious blood of Jesus."
This song was the early morning service theme song.
Whenever church starts in the morning, it is sung as the
opening song. When Pastor Kim finished his experience in
hell, he attempted to give his sermon. His voice,
however, was very weak. The content, on the other hand,
was very powerful. The Lord had given him a message to
preach. The message was about the people who did not
properly tithed and those who had not keep Sundays Holy.
They were ending up in hell. As people believe in Jesus
and are being saved, their faith is perfecting. Faith
that perfects salvation is true faith. If a person
becomes or is corrupt, that was not genuine faith. When
the wind of final judgment blows, the faith that is
carried away like an empty blasted ear of wheat or tare
will be found as not genuine faith. We must love the
Lord above all things and we must keep the commands of
the Lord even unto death if necessary. I was very
impressed by his sermon. After the service and the
pastor's trip to hell, the pastor was granted more power
from the Holy Spirit. The pastor imparted power to his
wife and the certain members of the Lord's Church who
possessed certain gifts. This night was my first
experience of the 18 days/nights I would be experiencing
spiritually at this church.
With the first night passed, I began my days and nights
with the Lord's Church. The experiences I encountered in
the 18 days/nights were all different. I danced in the
Holy Spirit which looked like an exercise routine in the
military. My movement and sound of my tongue changed
into the rattling of a machine gun. As I danced in the
Holy Spirit, I saw fireworks shooting from my finger
tips. The sight of the fireworks was magnificent. I
could not compare it to any fireworks I had seen before.
The sparkles of the fireworks composed of jewels and
gems shinning with seven bright colors. The colors were
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, deep blue, and purple.
The seven bright colors of sparkles shot out from my
finger tips endlessly. As the jewels/gems reached the
sky, they exploded like a bomb and the sparkles fell
beautifully. The sight was amazing. On earth, we
consider the diamond as the most beautiful stone. The
blue tanzanite sapphire is also considered beautiful and
valuable. But what I saw in my vision was much more
beautiful than I can express with my finite words.
During my time there, were experiences that I will never
forget. I had experienced being in an ocean of flowers.
I was also standing next to Jesus at the cross and the
blood of the Lord poured down onto me from the side
where He was pierced. His blood washed away my sin. In
addition, the Lord showed me green meadows. I saw my
sins, it accumulated as high as a large mountain. As I
saw my sins, I thrust my hands out and shouted the
Lord's blood and Holy Fire. I could see the fire and
blood penetrate through the mountain as I shouted. I was
also able to see the faces of a lion, ox, eagle, a goat,
and a dragon.
I had another vision, it was a large screen filled with
letters. The letters then began to move from left to
right. Suddenly, the letters formed into a poisonous
snake. The length of the snake was about 3 meters and
its thickness was comparable to my arm. The snake opened
its mouth and attacked me. I defeated the snake with
Holy Fire. As the snake was repeatedly struck with the
Holy Spirit's fierce fire, the snake turned green and
into the shape of the letter D. The letter D was then
placed on the screen. The Lord explained that one letter
D composed of a hundred million demons. After hearing
the Lord's explanation, I trembled in fear. I knew
fighting one demon could be exhausting. One demon could
be powerful. How could I not be shocked of hearing a
hundred million demons?
The Holy Spirit explained to me that when a person
sinned, we give legal ground to the evil spirits. A
possibility of a hundred million evil spirits can enter
and dwell in our bodies. Therefore, the Holy Spirit had
taught me this is the reason we must repent quickly.
Moreover, I had an experience with Pastor Kim, Yong Doo.
I was able to experience hell with him. When Pastor Kim
was in hell, there were insects eating his flesh. He was
tormented by various kinds of insects. Since I had sat
next to him during his experience, I also experienced
the physical torment as he was experiencing in hell. I
could feel the insects eating all of my right side, from
the heel to my neck. I was also hung on a cross. In
addition, I had another vision, countless number of evil
spirits were pouring out from the mouth of a large
harlot. As I was fighting the evil spirits, I utilized
enormous sized poisonous pillars of thorns that
protruded from my body. The thorns were numerous.
Initially, I did not know what the Holy poisonous thorns
were but I originally thought they were some type of
hair. I, therefore, called out for poisonous hairs. The
Holy Spirit showed me a closer and clear view of the
poisonous thorns, I then corrected myself and called for
poisonous thorns.
The poisonous thorn is a spiritual weapon that only
Christians can possess. When we fight against the evil
spirits during prayer, the Holy Spirit will grant us the
thorns on our lips and hands. The poisonous thorns have
enormous destructive power. I witnessed the evil spirits
disintegrate as the struck themselves against the
poisonous thorns. I experienced many different events as
granted by the Holy Spirit. I even experienced the
fierce heat from the fire of hell.
During one of the services, a brother in whom I was not
acquainted began to fall. I grabbed him so he would not
fall. But when I grabbed him, the evil spirits that were
in him jumped onto my left hand. My left hand instantly
stiffened and I could not move it. I had to pray and cry
out for over an hour to get the evil spirits to leave
me. When the evil spirits were expelled, I was restored
back to normal. Brother Chung who is a deacon was also
visiting during my trip and I had frequently witnessed
him shaking. The Lord spoke to me through a sister who
was attending from Suwon city. The Lord said through her
that my current difficulties will turn into bright days.
The Holy Spirit then touched my whole body.
Through the sister, the Lord asked me, "Do you really
know Me?" This question affected me the most. This
question made me analyzed my whole Christian walk. My
heart was in deep pain as I tried to answer that
question. When I think about that question, I get sweaty
and a chill runs through me. I thought to myself,
'Although I had desired to know the Lord deeper, did I
not live my live totally according to God's Word? Even
today, the question replays in my mind over and over and
I question myself and repent constantly.
People must change from the physical to spiritual. We
must all change our constitution such as our thoughts,
actions, and the way we speak out words. We must be
transformed from an earthly person to a heavenly man.
Instead of concerning ourselves of the world, we must
now desire and crave for the spiritual realm.
From my perspective, Pastor Kim, Yong Doo is very normal
leader and a sincere Christian. If I had to pick out
some differences from the majority, I would say he has a
very close relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is a
competent leader who is fellowshipping intimately with
the Holy Spirit. How can he not be so intimate with the
Holy Spirit when he has all night services every night
365 days a year with no rest?
Some people do say or ask things about him. For example,
they would say, "Pastor Kim never misses an all night
service of worship and prayer. Is this normal?" I would
like to make a comment to those folks. I do not think
any pastor who has a newly established church can
properly rest every night even if the church has a small
number of people or if the sanctuary is empty. What if a
leader had a congregation of ten thousand and the leader
truly loved and fellowship with the Lord. Would it be so
wrong to spend every night in worship and prayer? I want
to tell those people to stop being immature envious
folks.
Pastor Yong Doo Kim is a pastor of a newly established
church. They are not a rich or well off church. In fact,
they struggle financially. How can it not be normal for
him to pray all throughout the night? He has a burning
passion and desire for the Lord and His presence. Rather
it would be abnormal for a pastor in a church with no
progress to sleep as much as he wants every night.
If a leader is a normal thinking Christian but
financially struggling, should he/she not at least be
determined like the prophet Elijah? He must fasten his
spiritual belt. Although he may be bared feet, he must
make a decision to run in front of the evil ones while
the others are riding a carriage. If there are Christian
leaders who unfruitfully live a untransforming life, I
believe they will not avoid judgment. They will be
considered the lazy or evil servant and they would
receive the same judgment. Even with lay believers, it
is now the time to prepare for the Lord's return. All
Christians must awake through prayer. We need to be
spiritually alert and on guard and prepare for the
Lord's return. As I looked at Pastor Kim, I spoke to
myself.
The fact is that all Christians are Holy soldiers who
have been called into battle against the evil spirits.
We as soldiers must be in constant alert. We are the
watchmen in the front lines. We must succeed and execute
the duties that are entrusted onto us. In fact, how much
more is required to the servants (leaders) of God, those
who are called to be Christ's laborers! Wouldn't it only
be fitting and normal for the servants of God to receive
missions that are much greater and holds more
responsibility? The Lord will ask more from the one who
He has entrusted with more. A pastor of a newly
established church under difficult circumstances can not
expect his church to grow while he sleeps as much as he
desires. How is he able to waste the night away
sleeping!
Even if you were sleeping, now is the time to awake! You
must be like Pastor Kim who is fully awake and prepare
yourself for the Lord's return. A prayer warrior is a
guard on duty! Moreover, the time of the Lord's return
is imminent! Wake up you sleeping guards! Now is the
time to wake up! Groups of secular men and the forces of
satan are waiting for me to sleep. Therefore, you must
open your sleepy eyes wide open and wake yourselves up
by shouting. Awake by praying, singing hymns, and
reading the word. Let us carry out the mission of
guardianship!
I like to make a comment to the Christians who sleep all
through the night and actually overly sleep as mush as
they desire and to those who slanders the Lord's Church
as a cult. The Lord's Church passionately loves the Lord
and they show it through the night on a daily basis. I
want those people to visit the Lord's Church. The Lord's
Church is Christ's spiritual soldiers who guards and
labor everyday. Visit them with full consolation. I
would like to recommend that you do not disturb them if
you are not planning to consulate or comfort them. They
are in battle and fulfilling their mission. The Lord's
Church is the mist of the front lines of this fierce
battle and war.
You are also sent to this world to become a spiritual
warrior. You have been called to duty. Those who gossip
the Lord's Church, if you have any questions, please ask
immediately to the Lord in reverence. It will not be so
late to gossip even after you have asked and confirmed
with the Lord.
* Experiencing the Holy Blazing Fire Baptism
Case 2 - Gok Sung, Mok Sa dong Full Gospel Church -
Testimony by Pastor Gong, Tek Mo
We are living in a time where the Word of God is being
flooded upon us. Through mediums such as the television,
internet, books, and radio, the Word of God is
overflowing. Beyond denominations, it appears that there
is no preacher who does not know how to preach. But I do
know one thing. The manifestation or work of the Holy
Spirit does not occur with just anybody. The Lord will
not work through us unless we put ourselves down and we
fill ourselves with the Lord completely.
I was longing for the Holy Spirit's work or
manifestation. Therefore, I tried to fill my thirst by
visiting many revival meetings emphasizing the Holy
Spirit. I attended seminars, conferences, and many more.
In addition, I even traveled outside Korea to other
countries. I had a spiritual thirst for strong faith and
the powerful presences of the Holy Spirit.
One day, on July 7th, 2006, I purchased several books
from the internet. The books were a series titled
'Baptism by Blazing Fire' written by Pastor Kim, Yong
Doo. However, I did not read the books for some time. I
had placed them in my library. On February 3rd, 2007, on
a Saturday night, after finishing an all night prayer
meeting, I decided to read the Fire books. I thought to
myself, 'Alright, I will start reading those books
today.' I then began reading the books.
From the first moment I began reading the first book, I
was in pure shock. How can there be a church such as the
one described in this book. It is a small church with a
few members. How can such events occur? We can
incorrectly think that this can only be their personal
experience from their own church. But truthfully, the
experiences that occurred at the Lord's Church as
described in the book was a powerful manifestation of
the Holy Spirit from spiritual battles to their unique
enormous experiences. I have now realized the magnitude
of sin. I was amazed and envious. It was all pure shock
to me.
As I read book one, I realized the severity in
Christianity. I had been leading my ministry by applying
a standard for sin. I had placed that standard very
loosely to the members of my church even though I knew
that there would be enormous consequences from
committing the various sin. I had preached too much
freedom of faith. I preached that a liberal Christian
life was alright.
I, myself, was the main problem; I was not keeping
Sundays Holy. I used to buy things after Sunday service,
I worked on the church garden, and I would buy meals at
the restaurant, and etc all on Sundays. I had too much
freedom in my ministry. Even though I preached how the
church congregation should not miss Sunday service, I
did not proclaim the powerful message of not working on
Sundays and to avoid personal activities on Sunday such
as fishing, outdoor activities, watching secular
television, surfing on the internet, playing games, and
etc. I used to say that it was legalism and that the
message was not the gospel when I heard the discussion
of keeping Sundays Holy.
Even after the gospel was introduced into the world, the
Law has not been abolished. The Lord made a statement.
(Matthew 5:17-18)
Among my church members, a particular member went
fishing on Sunday afternoons. When I asked why he went
fishing on Sundays, he explained that his motive was to
evangelize. The person he would evangelize loved fresh
water fish. Therefore, my church member went fishing to
catch a freshwater fish. When he would deliver the fish
to his friend that would give him the excuse to
evangelize. But the Lord made him repent for going
fishing on Sundays. At the all night prayer meeting, the
Lord disclosed the fact that he was not keeping Sundays
Holy and needed to repent. Even though the church member
had the justification to evangelize, he was still not
keeping Sundays Holy which displeased God. After reading
the books, my church members and I repented and we
realized that we were subject to eternal damnation from
this trap of sin.
I read all the five series of the fire books until 3 AM.
I then ran to the church and reviewed my ministry up to
now. I have realized that there are many areas in which
I had taught incorrectly. Even though I was a pastor who
was to lead souls to life, I was actually leading them
to death as a result of my false teachings. I wailed
very much and repented.
February 5th, 2007, Monday, I attended the Lord's
Church's all night service. Before the service started,
I observed how the prayers of the intercessory prayer
team were so powerful. I had never seen such power in
prayer. The pastor's worship was inspirational. He was
administering the service which would please the Lord.
The pastor was humorous and witty. I realized that he
was making an effort to make his sermon be more alive to
please the Lord. I could see how much love he had for
the Lord. Mrs. Kang, Hyun Ja's Holy dance was beautiful.
I have never seen such a dance anywhere. The sight of
the many church members dancing in the Spirit with
praising was fantastic.
During the time when prayer was at full scale, Trinity
God was with us. This type of presence I had never felt.
I had not felt this type of presence in any revival
meeting or service. The prayer time was filled with the
presence of various gifts and manifestation. It was a
time when we all powerfully cried out. Pastor Kim, Yong
Doo visiting hell on a daily basis was a very strange
sight to me. But the Lord led me to experience hell
through the Pastor. I saw many souls falling into hell
as they were charged with various sins.
I can now understand the compassion of the Lord's heart
and His willingness to show the proof and the fierce
reality of hell. He is showing us the reality of
punishment, hopelessness, and pain of hell through the
Lord's Church. It has been the greatest honor to attend
such a powerful service in which the Lord was there with
His powerful presence through the Holy Spirit. I then
witnessed Pastor Kim performing deliverance on a deacon
from the city of Wool San during the dawn hours. The
sight of deliverance totally changed my concept of
deliverance. Every event and experience at the Lord's
Church was beyond shock. These were the events that were
orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.
The all night prayer continued until 6 AM. As I
witnessed the worshipping and fervent prayers of the
Lord's Church members, I was hoping and praying that my
church would eventually cry out and fervently worship as
the Lord's Church. On Wednesday morning, I left the
Lord's Church and arrived at my church in the evening
around 6 PM. In the midst of grace, we had finished the
Wednesday service. I proclaimed to the church
congregation that from that evening, all church members
were required to attend at least three days of all night
service. We would have a Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday
evening service. Moreover, if anyone wished to attend
additional services, they could attend in between
services from those days. We then began our second
prayer service.
At our church, on the prayer night rally, I decided to
focus on completely repenting. We had sinned so much.
Even though we were in the midst of sin, we were not
aware of our sins and therefore had to renew our souls
through repenting powerfully and sincerely. Even though
we had confessed and accepted the Lord as our Savior.
Even though we believed in Him, our lives were not
completely holy. We could not get out from our sinful
habitual lives. The only way to save ourselves was to
repent. Our prayer rally began. Just as in the Lord's
Church, we repented and confessed our sins. As we
prayed, we shouted, "Holy Fire" repeatedly during our
prayer. It had been a long time since all the members
fervently prayed. We cried out in tears of contrition as
we confessed.
After the all night prayer service, Deacon Chul Soo Cho
shared an astonishing experience. He said that he had
been having problems with his shoulders and legs. Both
his shoulders had always been feeling heavy and numb.
Also, during the middle of the night, he would wake up
several times from the painful numbness on his legs. But
from tonight's prayer rally, when he had repented and
shouted, "Holy Fire" during the middle of the prayer
rally, two blue faced/long hair evil spirits disguised
as a young girl were expelled from his body. The moment
when the evil spirits expelled from his body, he was
healed from his painful heaviness and numb of the
shoulders. He was jumping in joy and amazed. He was then
completely healed from the numbing on his legs.
We realized that all the issues and hindrances in our
lives were due to sin and a work operated by evil
spirits. I urged the church members for more earnest
repentance. With Deacon Chul Soo Cho's deliverance, his
spiritual eyes had opened. He then witnessed and
experienced many spiritual events. Deaconess granny
Young Ja Hwang could not consistently attend church due
to dizziness. But when she had repented during the all
night prayer rally, the evil spirits from her body left
gnashing their teeth. Her dizziness is now completely
gone. I am in such joy.
The focus of prayer is not simply repenting and getting
healed. Through the series of books 'Baptize by Blazing
Fire' I desire the believers to realize once again the
seriousness of sin. The gospel of repentance, spiritual
freedom, being free from sins, and to enjoy freedom from
sickness is what I emphasized to my church members. I
advised my church members to fervently repent and I
prayed for them.
After a short time, an unexpected accident occurred to
one of our church member. It was on February 18th, 2007,
Sunday, a Korean new year. This member was a high school
student who had just graduated and was about to enter
his freshman college. This student was a drummer on the
worship team and he also served as a Sunday school
teacher. On the day of the accident, he had played drums
on the worship team for the service on Sunday. After the
service, I went to look for him to have lunch with him
but I could not find him. When I asked another member if
he knew the where abouts of the student, he replied and
told me that he had left during the middle of the
sermon. The student had left to attend a student
gathering with the other former high school classmates.
I was perplexed and could not believe what I was
hearing.
Before this accident had occurred, I was emphasizing to
the congregation of the seriousness to live a Holy life.
Even after I had read the fire books, I was now
emphasizing it to a greater degree. I was emphatic about
keeping Sundays Holy and Christians living according to
the Word of God. This student had violated the Sunday
and got drunk at the student gathering. He was killed
from his injuries in a vehicle accident. The other
students were seriously injured as well. Once I was
informed of the accident, I rushed to the emergency room
at National University Hospital. When I arrived in the
emergency room, the doctor was performing mouth to mouth
resuscitation. It looked hopeless. As I was thinking, I
knew if he died right now he would end up in hell. I
felt like the world was falling apart. I left the
emergency room and earnestly prayed.
"Lord, this is my fault. I did not teach and nurture him
correctly. I could not lead him to live a righteous Holy
life."
Even though I prayed and beseeched the Lord to give him
another chance, the student eventually died. I was in
much mental suffering from this episode. As I got into
the car to return to church, the Lord opened the
spiritual eyes of Deacon Cho. God showed the deacon the
path of the student in which he was walking forward too.
Deacon Cho saw the student walking into a dark tunnel by
himself. The student appeared lonely as the deacon saw
the student from his back side. After the vision, the
deacon became very frightened as his legs began to
shiver. The deacon barely made it home that day. The
Lord explained the meaning of the vision. The direction
of his path was all because of sin.
I thought to myself, 'As a pastor, how come I did not
check all the bases of sin? Why couldn't I realize their
concerns and lead them to repent? Why couldn't I teach
them with more assertiveness and authority on how to
live according to God's Word, keeping Sundays Holy,
tithing properly, etc? Why couldn't I teach them the
basic problems of life such as drinking, smoking, etc,
so that they could repent? Why couldn't I preach on how
serious the consequences are for sin?
Through fire books, I have realized that the smallest
sins are as just as severe. They are all traps. Until
recently, I had emphasized the gospel of salvation many
times in my ministry. But I had neglected on the gospel
of repentance. Therefore, I repented and urged the
church members to repent fervently. In 1 John 5:16-17,
there is sin which leads unto death and there is sin
that does not lead unto death. But many believers bury
the thought of the sin that leads unto death and thinks
that they are heading to heaven only if they just
believe in Jesus. As I witnessed this behavior, I am
amazed on how they live such a nonchalant Christian
life.
I have now lost a precious soul, I must make sure I must
not lose another, not even one soul. The death of the
student has been a wake up call and a warning to the
members of our church regarding their Christian life. It
has been shown to us on the type of faith we must live
by. Therefore, in our daily all night prayer service, we
fervently worshipped, repented, confessed, and prayed.
I preach to people to obey the gospel and to live a born
again life. As I preached and prayed in this manner, the
dark spirits from the church members expelled. Now I am
able to witness the fullness of the Lord's Spirit in the
spirits of the church members. The spirits of the church
members were renewed and cleansed daily. They were able
to experience many spiritual events.
Deacon Chul Soo cho's spiritual eyes opened even more
deeper. He had visited Heaven and hell frequently. He
saw his father being horrifically tormented in hell. The
deacon was astonished by what he had witnessed. When the
deacon's father was alive, he was considered a really
good man. As a result, the deacon vaguely thought his
father was in a good place. With the deacon realizing
where his father is now, I see the deacon in much
torment and shock.
Moreover, the deacon had met his oldest brother in hell
who had been missing from home for several decades. The
deacon had told me the moment his eyes met his
brother's, the brother quickly turned his head away. The
brother could not look into the deacon's face. When the
brother was alive, he used to harass and severely beat
up Deacon Cho. He must be sorry for what he had done.
After Deacon Cho had saw his father and brother
tormenting in hell, he was not able to eat for several
days from the shock of what he had witnessed.
In our all night prayer service, the Lord granted the
church member to experience hell. Of all the
experiences, the most painful to experience is to
witness the student who was in the car accident. He was
a brother who had church with us not too long ago. Now,
when I see him tormented in the fiery flames of hell, I
am in pain and frightened myself. I was thinking that I
must live a faithful Christian life. Whenever I witness
the scenes of hell, I am not able to sleep and usually
lose my appetite.
Deacon Cho works at a company. Ever since he witnessed
the sight of the souls being tormented in hell, he
fiercely clings on to his job. He is now constantly
reminded of the souls tormented in hell. He tries to
forget what he has seen by intently focusing on his job.
He said that he can not stop thinking about how he must
live a faithful Christian life. This is reminded to him
through the student who is now experiencing misery in
hell. This is the brother/student who had only
worshipped and had service with him several days ago.
The deacon then had to witness the student in hell more
than ten times even after his previous visitations. Even
now, when he visits hell, the Lord will show the student
to the deacon. The Lord's intention was to reinforce to
the church members that hell was a serious place of
torment and that they should not come to hell. When the
deacon hears the student, the student would ask, "Deacon
Cho, I am thirsty, please give me some water." The
deacon's heart is torn up. As I even journalize all
this, I write with streams of tears running down my
face.
Through these spiritual experiences, I have realized the
preciousness of each and every soul. With this
realization, I now use all my strength for the souls to
stand righteously on salvation with their whole faith
and holiness. The pastoral office is very important but
yet because of my error, I have eternally lost a soul.
As I reminisced with that thought, I felt deeply
responsible for not educating the souls correctly.
Therefore, I repented and prayed more. As the church
members repented of their sinful and unholy lives and of
their inconsequential confession of faith in Jesus, they
were now able to taste spiritual freedom. They are now
experiencing many spiritual events.
Now I understand how the evil spirits operate. I also
know that if we repent and shout out, "Holy Fire," the
evil spirits will have to leave and healing will come.
Just as in the Lord's Church, when we powerfully pray,
our spiritual eyes open. When the church members repent
and shout, "Holy Fire," they were able to see the evil
spirits leave their bodies. Through the all night prayer
service, I have realized how filthy and fearful sin can
be. I see how sin can bring a serious consequence to the
spirit/soul.
There is a deaconess, her name is Chae, Oak Nam. She is
a farmer who attends our church. On the farm, there is
much work to be done. As a result, she worked on Sunday
mornings. Suddenly, during the middle of her work, she
experienced severe pain in her back. She had to stop
work to come rest inside. As she rested, she had much
thoughts about Exodus Chapter 20:10. She was remembering
the pastor preaching on the message not to work on
Sundays. So she sincerely repented. As she earnestly
repented, the pain in her back healed. She testified to
me that she will not violate Sundays ever again.
We have another deaconess, her name is Cho, Kyung Soon.
She lived a difficult life. She was severely persecuted
and psychologically tormented. As a result, she
developed a nervous disorder. It does not matter whether
it is during the day or evening, if someone triggers her
sickness, she must wonder around the mountains and
fields to release her stress. She had lived a painful
life. She had said that there is no treatment for this
type of illness. She attended an all night prayer
service. In the middle of prayer, she let all of her
resentments go, she forgave and repented all of the sins
in her life. She then received healing. The evil spirits
that had caused the nervous disorder left her. Now, she
is very thankful and her life of faith is very joyous.
My eldest daughter, Dul Lee, and my second daughter, Yeh
Lee, visited the Lord's Church. The pastor's wife
imparted the gift of Holy dance to them. Now my
daughters are dancing in the Spirit beautifully as they
worship and pray. My second daughter Yeh Lee has her
spiritual eyes opened. She has visited heaven and hell
holding onto Jesus' hand. She was able to witness the
evil spirits. She fights the evil spirits with the Holy
Sword which is mentioned in the fire books.
Whenever my daughter, Yeh Lee visits hell, she sees the
student who had died from the vehicle accident a few
months ago. She said that when the student saw her, he
had thrusted his hand out toward her. In his torment, he
asked, "Yeh Lee, please save me!" My daughter attempted
to thrust her hand out toward him. But the Lord told her
not to grab his hand. She complied and did not grab his
hand. As soon as I heard this story, I once again
repented in guilt of how I lost a soul. I firmly assured
myself that I will never lose a soul. I will not lose a
soul who is entrusted to me. My daughter also saw my
maternal grandfather, he was in great torment.
Each Sunday, she is able to see the light of grace
descending from heaven. She said that the light descends
on some of the church saints. Some would have the light
on them while some do not have the light on them. In my
opinion, the light of grace may be descending on the
saints who are truly blessed based on the day of
service. I was able to distinguish the saints who had
not repented of their sins before attending Sunday
service. I was able to distinguish the ones who were
worrying, anxious, and troubled in their hearts. The
light of grace would not descend on them.
On one particular night during an all night prayer
rally, Deacon Cho, Chul Soo suddenly remembered a word,
"Do not drink blood, if you have quickly repent." Deacon
Cho quickly repented of drinking deer blood during the
many occasions when he was in his early thirties. When
he repented, the many evil spirits that had entered his
body through drinking blood were expelled and sent to
the pit. The Lord showed me the place of hell where
Christians would go who had drank blood. They would end
up in hell if they did not repent. There were too many
souls who had drank blood. They were in enormous pain.
That particular domain was guarded by a demon who
appeared as a wolf. The demon would peel the
"Christians" entire body with a knife. When the blood
gushed out from their bodies, the demon would suck up
their blood.
One day, the Lord took my daughter, Yeh Lee to hell
where the people who had spent money on Sundays were
tormented. The name of the place or domain was called
Waterfall hell. The color of the stream was black. Many
people were walking toward the edge of the cliff. When
the people reached close to the edge, they forcibly fell
to the ground. As they fell to the ground, their whole
bodies burst. I asked Jesus, "Who comes here?" The Lord
explained that people who had spent money on Sundays
came here.
The Lord then showed me the place in hell where people
would go who had worked on Sundays. The name of this
place or domain is Frozen. The people who are in the
place of Frozen become hard as an ice cube. However,
this place is not cold. When people become hardened, the
demons would scoop the flesh out like an ice cream and
eat them. The Lord then showed me another place in hell
called Billiard. Pastors and their wives were placed on
the huge billiard table. Their bodies were rolled into a
ball. The demons would poke at their butts and then roll
them into the holes. Some of pastors/wives would get up
and run toward the hole and jump in. After a short time,
a sharp toothed wheel would go into the holes and cut
them into pieces. This was a place for pastors and their
wives who did not live according to the Word of God that
was given to them.
I witnessed countless domains in hell. I saw the place
Skewer hell, Cave hell, and Fishing hell. The various
places of hell are indescribable. They are frightening
places. As I listened to the shivering people who had
witnessed hell, I thought to myself that we must live
our Christian life faithfully. We must endure and
persevere to avoid hell at all cost.
A youth in our church named Won, Eun Kyung is in 7th
grade middle school. She has her spiritual eyes opened.
She is now participating in our spiritual missions and
ministry. I desire the believers to enter the spiritual
realm deeper so that they can be used as ministers.
Whenever I pray for a certain household or individual,
the Lord shows me the many evil spirits that are
operating in them. When I assist them to repent of their
sins and clean up, the evil spirits would struggle,
fight, and resist from leaving.
I have realized that many evil spirits have operated in
the saints through sin. I have also realized as the evil
spirits actively work in the lives of the saints, the
saints would fall deeper into sin. As I observe the evil
spirits attempt to lead the many believers into eternal
death, I thought to myself that I should straighten
their lives by training them to live a life of Word and
prayer. Through Word and prayer, they can be victorious
in their spiritual battles.
I give all the gratitude and glory to the Lord for
permitting this precious ministry . I am thankful for
participating in this fire ministry even though I am
insufficient. I give thanks to the Lord's Church and
Pastor Kim as well.
* Experiencing the Holy Blazing Fire Baptism
Case 3 - City of Chungbuk, the church of First Voice.
The Testimony of Mrs. Jung ja Kang.
February 2007, my youngest son, Yoon Jung Seo called me
urgently by telephone. "Mother, I am at the Lord's
Church in the city of Seo Incheon. This church has a
ministry of Holy Fire. This ministry is led by Pastor
Kim, Yong Doo with his church members. Many people who
have visited this church have had the evil spirits
disclosed and expelled from their bodies. As the evil
spirits were exposed and expelled, many people were
healed. They are not only being healed, they are being
baptized by the Holy Spirit. It is marvelous. If you
bring my brother Yoon Jin over her, I bet you he will be
healed. Please bring him here quickly. Mother, I will
let you borrow the book, 'Baptism by Blazing Fire. I
want you to read them quickly and experience it!"
I instantly read the first book. I then purchased the
rest of the series and finished reading all of them. The
contents of the books were shocking. My heart raced as I
hastily made plans. My husband who is a pastor was
unexpectedly against the testimonies of the books.
Despite of his opposition, I fervently insisted. My
husband eventually gave up and we moved in faith.
My eldest son, Yoon Jin Seo was suffering from severe
depression for 23 years. To tell the truth, I was very
hesitant when my youngest son suggested that I bring my
son, Yoon Jin, to the Lord's Church.
The pain of our children can be equal to the pain we
feel when we are helpless or when we see them in pain.
Therefore, I had made a decision. My decision was firm,
I was going to visit the Lord's Church with my son. No
one was going to stop me or stand in my way.
However, we had some unexpected incidents. We had no
idea we would encounter such resistance. My husband is
very intelligent when it comes to finding his way. It
doesn't matter whether it is night or day or where he is
located. He is very good finding his way around and
understanding the roads. Of all our traveling events, we
encountered unimaginable tests from the moment we had
left for the Lord's Church. We experienced the
resistance and hindrance all the way to the Lord's
Church. We had encountered an enormous amount of evil
spirits working against us and they were severe.
When it came to the region of Incheon, I am very bad
with directions in that city. But even I was able to
distinguish where we were going. My husband was
wondering and driving in circles as we drove through the
fog for about an hour. We were driving on the same road
close to the Lord's Church for a long time. We were
constantly going the wrong way and we even drove in the
wrong direction on one way streets. In my whole life, I
have never experienced such driving chaos. As the evil
spirits obstructed us from arriving the Lord's Church,
we realized that the Lord's Church possessed a powerful
presence of the Holy Spirit where many evil spirits are
exposed and casted out.
I found out later that people from all through out the
country has had very similar experiences. When we barely
made it to the Lord's Church, it was very late and
intercessory prayer had already started. As I witnessed
the powerful prayers of crying out, my jaws dropped.
What I was seeing was beyond my imagination.
The Lord's Church intercessory prayer team intercedes
for many people. They all have their spiritual eyes
opened. They prayed a special prayer for my family. We
then saw the reality of the spiritual realm. I saw my
house filled with evil spirits, they were even hanging
from my ceiling.
The region where we live has one of the greatest
buddhist temple. It is called Mitasa. In that area, many
households have problems with alcohol. There are many
alcoholics in my neighborhood. Besides the big temple,
there are several large buddhist temples and sorcerers.
They perform fortune telling and perform their own
miracles. There are many buddhist temples in our region.
Our region has been traditionally a idol worshipping
area.
Our church as been established for about two years. I
have always had a burning heart to pray. I tried many
times praying on the floor on my knees. But some unknown
energy had always oppressed me down. Therefore, I could
not pray properly. I had always regretted this
insufficiency. When we first established our church, my
youngest son, Yoon Jung, installed the letters of our
church name onto the side of the wall. As he was
installing the letters, he suddenly heard a woman's
laughter. The laughter was so loud to him that it felt
like the mountains were shaking. My son encouraged us to
pray often.
The night we arrived at the Lord's Church, all the evil
spirits in me had expelled through worship and praise.
My hands then began to move on their own. My hands moved
freely. I was dancing in the Spirit. My spirit and
physical body danced with joy that was granted by God. I
believe it was a beautiful dance. I focused on the Lord
and gave Him all my heart. I repented with endless
streams of tears.
I would like to discuss the Holy Spirit dance as I
experienced it. In the Lord's Church, it does not matter
if one is a man or woman, all of them have the ability
to dance in the Spirit. I heard that various gifts can
manifest during dancing. Besides the fulness of the Holy
Spirit, glory, joy, repentance, healing, deliverance
from evil spirits, fire ministry, and etc can be
received through the dance. During my Holy dance, my
hands are raised naturally as I flow in worship and
praise. I feel hot fire sweep through my body, my whole
body from the tip of my fingers to the feet. Not a
single strength of my will was there. The Holy Spirit
touched my body parts meticulously. I thought to myself,
'Oh, how can my body become so light and free? How can
every single evil spirit leave one by one?' It was so
amazing. I was more shocked by the Holy Electricity and
Fire. Now I am finally feeling worthy in becoming the
Lord's bride. My soul/spirit can finally be filled in
happiness and joy.
When I shout out Holy Fire during my dance in the
Spirit, I became a pure fireball to the point in which I
could not bear it. I felt like I was the queen of fire.
Right in that moment, I was filled with confident and I
felt like I could defeat and win any kind of hindrance.
I felt if I shouted and cried out Holy Fire, it would
move Father's throne. The corporate shouting prayer of
the Lord's Church is more powerful than any other prayer
house, rally, or fasting I have experienced. I was
realistically able to feel that their prayer reached the
outer most part of heaven.
Before I had visited the Lord's Church and experienced
the Holy dance, I was accustomed with quiet and
contemplative prayer. But after dancing in the Spirit, I
never felt sleepy. I thought quiet contemplative prayer
was the best prayer to hear the Lord's voice. But since
I had began dancing in the Spirit and began crying out
in prayer, I find it the most effective and powerful
method of prayer. We are living in the last days and we
are very close to the Lord's return. The principalities
with their evil spirits roaming in the heavens and the
earth are constantly looking to prey on us. I have
realized and experienced that shouting out in prayer and
dancing in the Spirit is very important in defeating
them.
I have lived half my life within God's Word and in
obedience. I have led our ministry struggling with no
rest but desiring the heart of my Lord. In reality, my
tyrannical nature was squirming my mind and I was not
able to change. Because of these hidden spirits, my
husband and I frequently argued.
At the Lord's Church during the middle of prayer, the
Holy Spirit touched me and this continued at our own
church. During service and prayer time, I have
experienced groups of evil spirits leaving when I cough.
The evil spirits lived off my body for decades. All the
evil spirits' identities have been revealed including
those that made a pathway between my husband and I. They
had traveled back and forth between the two of us. They
had prompted us to argue and tried to lead us to
destruction.
For many years, the forces of the devil had been at work
in my family members. They had been strategic and
through various ways built their kingdom in us. It was
beyond my imagination. I could not stop being
astonished. I had realized the evil spirits were hunting
our souls. God loves our family. He has healed my
family. I am truly thankful to Him.
My oldest son, Yoon Jin, is attracted to the services of
the Lord's Church which is filled with the Holy Spirit.
The church is full of cheerful worship, praise, and
surrounded by joyous exhilarations. He is now in the
process of gradually changing to a bright exhilarating
personality. He has been delivered from his lonely
circumstances of 23 years. Jesus did not heal him at
once. The reason is that the Lord wanted each of my
family members' prayer to be filled to a certain level.
He desired to receive prayer that was truly mournful. He
desired confession with a contrite spirit. When each
member of my family fills their prayer into the prayer
jar, the Lord said that He will completely heal my son.
The Lord also wanted to see my oldest son pray for
himself even though my son lacked in many ways.
At last, I would like to give many thanks to the Lord's
Church, Pastor Kim, Yong Doo, his wife, and all the
church members for endlessly praying and leading my
oldest son, Yoon Jin and my youngest son, Yoon Hung with
love and care. I give all the glory to the Lord.
Hallelujah!
* Experiencing the Holy Blazing Fire Baptism
Case 4 - City of Kwang Ju, Yong Doo Dong, Unity Vision
Church. Testimony of Pastor Park, Inn Soo
Hallelujah!
I give all the glory to Trinity God for giving us the
opportunity to hold and finish our latest revival
service in the midst of grace.
It was in June of 2007 when I first encountered the
book, Baptism by Blazing Fire. I had purchased the first
book initially from the book store. As I read the book,
I thought to myself, 'Wow, I have never read anything
like this before.' I was shocked. But I was not as eager
as I should have been and in the middle of the book, I
placed it in my bookcase near my desk. I postponed
thinking I will read it at a later time.
About six months had passed and I was experiencing some
tests within my ministry. I sometimes go through
hardship and I sometimes go through peace. During my ups
and downs, I still had not lost the thought of the
firebooks.
On January 1st, 2008, a deacon and his wife who were
faithfully serving the church left. As a pastor, I have
always desired them to stand firmly on the Word. I have
been praying for them with much effort. But when they
left without saying a word, my heart felt empty. My
heart was wounded and my heart became bitter. I then
remembered the firebooks.
On March 2008, I began to read the book once again
during the first week of the month. As I read the first
half of the book again, I was overwhelmed and
astonished. It was pure shock. On March 7th, a Friday, I
prayed and read the book from the pulpit. I called the
Lord's Church and asked for Pastor Kim, Yong Doo. It was
he who picked up the phone. "Pastor! I would love to
visit your church. Is this possible?" He replied stating
that anytime is possible.
I advised him that I will visit on March 10th. I
prepared for the trip and downloaded the map from the
internet. I was attending an annual conference on the
first week of every March. The conference was Silchun
Pastoral Research in the city of Su won. I attended the
conference and once it was over I prompted my wife, Sul
Hyang Oak and my sister in law, Pastor In Pyong Tek to
accompany me on my trip to the Lord's Church. I borrowed
a car from my brother's wife who was a pastor as well.
The three of us then drove to the Lord's Church using
the GPS map.
On the first day at the Lord's Church, when worship and
praising had ended, the church members went in front of
the pulpit. There were both male and females who
continued the service with their beautiful Holy dance.
Their dancing was indescribably beautiful. It was not
strange at all. When I had visited a service at the Cho
Lack Do fasting prayer house, I had witnessed a Holy
dance. I had observed the brethren worshipping the Lord
as they dance. The site at the fasting house did not
offend me at all.
In my church, we clap as we worship and praise the Lord.
It is just natural and an act which is universal. Most
of the churches, especially in Korea, have rhythmic
movements during worship and praise. When the Holy
Spirit attempts to lead the dance, many people refuse to
accept it just because they are not familiar with it.
The bible states that we should worship and praise as we
dance. However, we have never performed it and has never
really witnessed it. The general church perceives it as
awkward or strange when someone began to dance in the
Spirit. There are dances created by people to worship
and praise the Lord. How much more it is to please the
Lord if the hand movements or dance is lead by the Holy
Spirit. Just because we have not personally experienced
it does not give us the right to condemn the people who
dances in the Spirit before the Lord.
I attended the all night prayer rally at the Lord's
Church every Monday. Each time I attended, Pastor Kim,
Yong Doo imparted the fire baptism and anointing. He
would especially separate the groups of pastors and
wives to impart fire. The fire is imparted from his
hands to my hands. I felt it gradually getting stronger
each week. Within time, my hands began to naturally move
without my will.
On the last week of March, Unity Vision Church began a
evening prayer rally. We named the prayer rally,
Gethsemane prayer rally. We gathered together at 9 PM on
the 3rd floor of the church building on Monday and
continued until Friday. We did 30 minutes of
worship/praise, 30 minutes of sermon, and 30 minutes of
prayer time. After the prayer time, we imparted fire, it
was a time of anointing. I imparted fire to all who had
attended the evening prayer. The people began to
naturally move their hands. They were initially unaware
of their hands moving. Some had their hands spread out
to the sides. They were amazed with what they were
experiencing. Their hands would suddenly come together
like a magnet and then spread to the sides. They
continued to be amazed as the hands would freely and
naturally move. We continued the evening prayer rallies
every Monday through Fridays.
I advised the church members to go purchase the series
of fire books. I had also bought some to hand out. We
all read the books together during bible study. As we
read, we come to realize that it is not easy to possess
anything so quickly. Even if one is able to possess a
gift or power quickly and easily, the person can lose it
just as quickly and easily. If it can open easily, it
can shut easily. We have realized that if we practice
holiness and continue to seek a life of prayer and
reading the Word, it will produce a firm foundation in
faith. We might think that it would be nice to receive
our spiritual eyes in one breath and to easily visit
heaven and hell. But I have realized if one receives the
gifts or experiences so easily, it will be difficult to
maintain or keep the gifts. Pastor Yong Doo Kim had
preached on this subject.
On March 31st, Monday, I received a prophetic word from
the Lord when I attended the all night prayer rally at
the Lord's Church. The Lord watched as He led over my
household, ministry, and church. I am very thankful to
the Lord.
The Lord told me that He is pleased with us (my wife and
myself) as we visit places to pray.
The Lord said there will be fruits in the future.
Therefore we must persevere.
The Lord wanted us to pray more fervently.
I put in a request to have a fire revival in our church.
Pastor Kim, Yong Doo said that he would pray about the
request. He later gave me an answer. He set the date for
June 23rd and 24th, Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
Once the dates were set, the youngsters in our church
became under attack by the evil spirits. The evil
spirits used various methods of attacks on the youth.
First attack - Lee, Seh Young, a student in our Sunday
school. He fell on a evenly paved road of asphalt. The
road was flushed and nicely paved. There was nothing to
trip on. When she fell, she broke and fractured the bone
on her left wrist. She had to have a cast on her left
hand for 3 weeks.
Second attack - Park, Sang Ho is an eighth grader in
middle school. He serves in the broadcasting room at the
church. After two weeks of Lee, Seh Young's injury, Sang
Ho fell while he was snow boarding. He had injured his
left wrist. The same diagnose as Lee, Seh Young, a
fractured bone and had to be in a cast for 3 weeks. When
he first arrived at the hospital, the doctor showed him
Seh Young's x-rays and the doctor told him that the
fracture was very similar to Seh Young's. Sang Ho is a
very good snow boarder. He had practiced the whole
winter. It is very strange that he had fell on a low
hill. The slope was not steep at all. He flew about 2
meters and fell. This is how he got injured.
Third attack - Chae, Hyung Inn is a forth grader in
elementary. He plays the drums for Sunday school
service. After a week from Sang Ho's injury, he fell
from the horizontal bars and fractured his left wrist.
He was in a cast for 3 weeks.
Fourth attack -Kuack, Jae, Yun is a student in our
Sunday school. After the third attack, he injured his
right foot and required a cast.
Fifth attack - Park, Haam Bit is the oldest son of one
of our pastors. He plays the drums and teaches. After a
week from the fourth attack, he injured his ankle and
required a cast for 3 weeks.
Sixth attack - Kim, Hyung Gon is an eighth grader in
middle school. After two weeks from the fifth attack, he
injured his ankle.
Seventh attack - Yuh, Inn Gwang is a fourth grader in
elementary school. He is on the worship team. He was
unjustly beat up by some bullies in his neighborhood. He
was admitted in the hospital for 3 weeks.
Our youths were not the only ones who were harassed by
evil spirits but our adults as well. On May 5th, our
church had planned to have some sports tournament.
During the preparations, men's missionary group 1 and 2
got together for unity and for a rally. They had a good
meeting. But before they all parted their way home, they
all went to one of the deacon's fish market and had a
few shots of alcohol.
They had gathered in the name of our church and yet
satan had operated his evil work in the midst of them.
After they had stumbled, I gathered all who went to
drink. I made them repent for their actions. They each
signed a letter of promise not to ever drink again.
Besides these problems, we were already facing other
difficulties. We had built our church through a loan. We
borrowed the money from Dae Gu Cooperative Association
in the amount of one million dollars. Although we were
able to handle the interest, some complicated problems
had occurred and we had no choice but to default. The
property was then placed on foreclosed auction. On May
14th, 2008, our church building was successfully
auctioned to a business enterprise. We had done
everything to save our church building within the
boundary of the law. However, all avenues explored were
closed.
There was only two weeks before the revival meeting and
we had no solution. Therefore, we gave everything to the
Lord. The Lord who loves us so much is alive and we have
a hope to enter His kingdom. With that hope and love, we
were not discouraged. Even though our church had been
auctioned off, our church members who attended the
revival meeting were joyful and at peace. It showed on
their faces.
We had been praying. In fact, we had been earnestly
praying even more as we expected to proceed forward with
our future. We gave thanksgiving to God. We began our
revival meeting with difficulties.
On the first day of the revival meeting, we were not
able to estimate the number of people to expect. As a
result, we purchased 200 cups of ramen for a snack. Our
revival meeting was not advertised nor did we make a
public announcement. We roughly estimated possible 200
to show up. But 700 people showed up in the two days.
The Lord's powerful ferocious fire was present. The
pastor who we had invited to speak told us that the fire
in this meeting was very special. However, the evil
spirits attacked us to the end. They had also attacked
us during the revival meeting.
The weather, fresh drinking water, snacks, watermelon,
restrooms, parking lot, air conditioners, electrical
equipment, and ushers were all good. But we were having
a problem with the sound system. We were relieved
thinking everything was good but our sound system which
covered an area of 500 pyeongs was experiencing a
technical difficulty. We wouldn't have dreamed that it
was our little children who had compromised the sound
equipment. The day before the revival, the little
children went into the sound equipment room and played
with the equalizers and mixers. On each Sunday evening
at 8 PM, we would hold a men's cell group meeting. The
cell group meets to do bible study and get together for
prayer. The children have came with their fathers before
and have never gone into the sound equipment room
before. Out of every visits, this was the first time the
children touched the sound equipment. Since we had not
used the equipment prior to the revival, we were not
aware of the problem before the revival meeting.
On the very first day of the revival, the unequal sound
blew the amplifier. With one speaker, we progressed with
the revival in difficulty. But in the midst of all the
problem, the revival was on fire. The people that
attended the revival were hungry for the Holy Spirit as
a result, they were filled with the Spirit and His
grace.
On the next day, in the afternoon, we called the
engineer to correct the problem of the sound system
before evening service. During the evening service, the
presence of the Holy Spirit's powerful fire continuously
imparted onto us. After the evening service came the
late night service accompanied with beautiful events.
The youth, men, women, and Pastor Kim's wife from the
Lord's Church danced the beautiful Holy dance. There was
even a Holy techno dance. The church members from the
Unity Vision Church followed suit and started to dance
in the Holy Spirit. The sight was beautiful.
The fire books had journalized the various kinds of
gifts and healing through the Holy dance. I had
personally experienced it. I had a stiffness and dull
pain on my neck for some time. But after dancing in the
Spirit for about four weeks and as I attended the Lord's
Church, the pain left. Moreover, the headaches and
stiffness had left as well. I am confirming that there
is healing and gifts through the Holy dance.
After our break time, we had some snacks. The members of
the Unity Vision Church presented there talents to
please the Lord. I am glad they are mimicking me. They
are precious saints who are quick to obey whenever a
mission or endeavor is placed upon them. It doesn't
matter what I ask, they reply with amen. I am very
thankful! Everyone had passionately expressed themselves
to the Lord. The sight was very joyous and grateful. I
truly believe our Lord must have been very pleased.
We continued with prayer time. Our prayer went deep. We
prayed as we earnestly asked for our spiritual eyes to
be opened. Our prayer time consisted of three different
sessions. No spiritual eyes were opened during the first
prayer session. During the second prayer session, a
visitor from Kwang Ju had his spiritual eyes opened.
Moreover, the Lord gave us a prophetic word through a
deaconess. The word was about our church, Unity Vision
Church.
Question: Lord, what do you think of Unity Vision
Church?
Answer: I will surely bless Unity Vision Church.
Question: Will all the members from Unity Vision Church
that are on the pulpit now go to heaven?
Answer: There are several people who will go to hell if
they die at their current state.
Question: Why is that, Lord?
Answer: They appear to be devoted and obedient on the
outside but they are grumblers and complainers behind
closed doors.
Question: Will anybody from the Unity Vision Church have
their spiritual eyes granted?
Answer: The spiritual eyes of the pastor's wife will be
opened. She must live her life on her knees praying
unceasingly.
Question: Will Unity Vision Church experience a revival?
Answer: The church must become one. The pastor's wife
has resentment in her heart. The revival will come
through the youths.
Question: What will Unity Vision Church become?
Answer: Have peace in yourselves. Trust in the Lord and
it will be solved. Give it all to the Lord.
Question: The pastor's heart must be very heavy. The
foreclosure auction must be stressful. What do you
think, Lord?
Answer: There is a river of spring water streaming down
in his spirit. The Lord is currently resolving all the
issues.
There are four students from middle and high school
desiring to receive the gift of tongue. They fervently
pray for the gift all night long since the Sunday school
children speak in tongue. From the all night prayer,
they had all received the gift of tongue. On Thursday,
we gathered at 6 PM and I urged them to pray in tongue
for forty minutes. In order to strengthen their prayer
in tongue, they must continue to pray in tongue
constantly. Therefore, I constantly urge them to pray in
tongue. They are speaking in tongue very smoothly right
now. They are very happy and thankful.
I hope the problems of the Unity Vision Church quickly
resolves so that we can glorify the Lord. I have
mentioned to the deacons and deaconess that I desire to
hold another revival next year in February. They were
very happy.
During our third prayer session, we prayed and prepared
for a visit to heaven. The Lord prayed over the pastor's
wife, Sul, Hyang Oak. After a short time, she suddenly
shouted, "Ugh!!" She started to shiver and cry. She was
experiencing hell. As the Lord prophecized, her
spiritual eyes had opened.
* The testimony of Mrs. Sul, Hyang Oak
In the second week of March, a Monday, I attended the
Lord's Church all night service with my husband for the
very first time. From the first day, I had prayed all
throughout the night. "Lord, if you do not grant me
grace today, I will not go back to Kwang Ju." I
continued to earnestly pray. I prayed passed 5 AM. I was
the only one left praying. During the middle of my
prayer, Pastor Kim, Yong Do came next to me and said
that he would pray over me. I then fixed my position and
opened my eyes.
But I could not see the pastor anywhere near me. I had
experienced something spiritual. If I knew what I was
experiencing was spiritual, I would not have opened my
eyes. I regretted it and felt empty. Why did I open my
eyes? I began to relentlessly pray. After awhile, Mrs.
Kang, Hyun ja came next to me and imparted her gift of
the Holy dance. "Mrs. Sul, I impart all I have onto
you."
Many now ask me if I am Mrs. Kang, Hyun Ja's little
sister. They all say that our Holy dance is very
similar. I said, "I am so honored to be considered Mrs.
Kang, Hyun Ja's little sister. She dances beautifully
and gracefully. She has many powerful gifts."
On the second day of the revival, we had all hoped to
have our spiritual eyes opened and hoped that we would
be granted a visit to heaven as we prayed. Then my
spiritual eyes were opened and I witnessed the souls
that were being tormented in hell.
My first sight was a large devil, perhaps a king devil.
He was holding a large coffee cup. He then threw a scoop
full of sugar made of people into his coffee cup. He was
enjoying and hissing at the same time.
I saw the Lord grieving over the dying souls in hell. I
wailed very much. My heart was in so much pain as I
witnessed the Lord grieving.
Next, I saw the demons tightly tying people with ropes
and dangling them. The demons then mercilessly pierced
them with sharp iron skewers. They were wickedly
laughing.
I saw frozen (harden/stiff) people. As the people were
in a frozen state, the demons beat them with a large
iron club. The people became dust as they were beaten.
It was a cruel sight. My heart fainted.
I saw a deep swamp. The people in the swamp were
struggling to get out. They were in torment. I could
only see their faces. Their whole bodies were cover
under the swamp.
I saw a large deep hole filled with insects. I saw
people continuously being pushed into the hole.
I saw demons throw people as if they were playing
boomerang. As the people hit the wall, they screamed in
pain. They then broke into pieces.
I naturally love children. I currently nurture and teach
children at church. I evangelized every Wednesday and
Saturday at schools. I have heard some children say, "I
want to go to hell." They reject the gospel. I was
really curious if children are in hell. So I asked the
Lord. "Lord, do children go to hell?" The Lord then
showed me the children who were in hell tormented. They
jumped in pain as they were on top of an enormous heated
frying pan. The pan was heated with fire. My heart was
filled with pain.
During the revival meeting, a deaconess from Unity
Vision Church earnestly prayed to have her spiritual
eyes opened. With a compassionate heart, I asked the
Lord if He could grant the request. The Lord said that
she is currently in a fierce spiritual battle. Her
ministry will come to pass through her church pastor.
Among the prophetic words for the church of Unity
Vision, we were told that the church will experience a
revival through the children. Therefore, I asked a
question in regards to my children. "Lord, I have two
sons. Which one will be used?" The Lord answered, "It is
not your concern to know."
On Wednesday, the day after the revival meeting, we
visited another church on the way to the airport. We
were giving a ride to the members of the Lord's Church.
At the foyer, several deacons and youths were chatting.
I then saw a large demon in the midst of them.
I was very tired the next day. I rested and laid in my
room. This was the day I usually went out to evangelize.
Since I was tired, I hesitated to go and evangelize. I
then saw a vision. I saw the demons forming into a armed
force. They attacked in groups. I instantly got up and
ready myself. I then went out to evangelize. It felt as
though the gates of hell were being wide opened.
* The testimony of Deacon Kang
When the family members from the Lord's Church imparted
fire, my hands felt like magnets attracting to
themselves. The tips of my fingers were tingling. During
worship service, my pastor asked me to go up to the
pulpit. I danced in the Spirit. My hands were moving
very smoothly. I prayed in the Holy Spirit, "Lord,
please have my hand movements move wider and more
freely" The movements of my hands gradually became
wider. When the guest pastor prayed over me, I felt like
I was holding a large ball with both my hands. The
experience was novel and amazing.
* Testimony of Deacon Kim
During prayer time, I was holding someone's hand and
running around the green pasture. I was having a good
time. When it was time to see hell, I saw a cliff
overlooking a lake. I saw a black colored knife cutting
the arms of a person. My heart was in so much pain.
* Testimony of Deacon Chung
The revival meeting was pure shock. I always had a fear
of having my spiritual eyes opened. But my fear
gradually disappeared. As I watched other deacons
conversing with Jesus, I realized how my faith was full
of doubt. I then repented. I thought the Holy dance
looked very beautiful. I began to have the movement of
the Holy dance a little at a time. During prayer, I felt
the strong presence of the Holy Spirit. I desire heaven
more than ever.
* Testimony of Deaconess Kwan
If I had not experienced this fire revival meeting,
perhaps, I would have ended up in hell. Now, I must
firmly hold the ticket to heaven and I will be born
again as a child of God. I will place all my effort and
compassion to please God.
