 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27)
God the Creator is from everlasting to everlasting, perfect, omniscient, and He is the almighty God who is able to do anything. For these reasons, throughout the Bible there are found time and time again the mentioning of signs and wonders which no man is capable of manifesting.
Such works of the almighty God have been manifested in different generations by people of God whom He Himself set forth, and God continues to show us the wonders of His power even today. Jesus told us in John 4:48, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.” People are unable to believe in God without witnessing His power embedded in such signs and wonders.
1. God the Omniscient knows everything
God knows not only our words and deeds but also our hearts and even the thoughts that are flashing through our minds. This is because He created us as written in Psalm 139:13 which reads, “For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.” Also, He knows things that are happening now and foresees things to come.
In the Bible there are many prophecies concerning the coming of the Savior of mankind, the destruction and re-establishment of Israel, and the things that take place at the end of the age. These prophecies have been faithfully fulfilled. Moreover, through the people who are deemed proper in God’s sight, God reveals the things that are to take place. Amos 3:7 says, “Surely the LORD God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets.”
Even today, God reveals the things that are to come through the people who communicate with Him in depth. I have also relayed many prophecies that God had revealed to this church. For instance, I predicted the election of Taewoo Roh as president of South Korea in 1987, and that he would be succeeded by Presidents Youngsam Kim and Daejung Kim. I had also predicted the election of Ronald Reagan as president of the United States and Margaret Thatcher as prime minister of the United Kingdom. God had also revealed to me in advance of the deaths of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India and General Secretary Chernenko of the former Soviet Union.
I have also prophesied on the price of crude oil and the future of the Middle East, and how the three major countries and blocs?i.e., the United States, the European Union, and the formerly Communist and Communist-controlled nations of China and Russia would be solidified into three contending forces in the world. I have also predicted the failure of South Korea’s “sunshine policy” aimed at engaging the North, and how the North would open its doors temporarily, but soon close them again.
I have prophesied about many other topics and events, and every one of them has been fulfilled or is in the works of being fulfilled. Our God, who knows the flow of the current and the future of world history, also knows the future that lies ahead in each of your lives. By committing every aspect of your life to God the Almighty, I urge you to always walk the path of prosperity and blessing.
2. The omnipotent power of God as recorded in the Bible
God gave Ten Plagues to Egypt through Moses prior to the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Also, by His power, the Red Sea was split in two, water came out from a rock, and bitter water at Marah changed into sweet water. By His power, Elijah prophesied a severe drought would last for three and a half years. And when he prayed to God earnestly, He gave the answer with fire and allowed for a heavy rain. Through His power, dead men were raised.
In the time of New Testament, those works of God the Almighty also took place. Jesus raised the dead man Lazarus, opened the eyes of the blind, He healed the sick and people with infirmities, and He healed demon-possessed people. He also calmed the wind and the sea, and walked on the water.
Even after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, God’s power was manifested through Jesus’ disciples as well. In the case of Apostle Peter, people carried the sick out into the streets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them (Acts 5:15). In Apostle Paul’s case, when handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out (Acts 19:11-12).
By manifesting amazing power that is beyond men’s capability, God desires all people to meet Him and reach salvation.
3. God the Almighty works even today
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Thus, God’s power through Jesus Christ can be manifested even in our time.
Manifestations of such powerful works of God have been taking place at our church, Manmin Central Church, since its founding. Testimonies to the healing of all sorts of incurable diseases are being received from all over the world every week. An astounding fact is that so many people have experienced the healing of their diseases and weaknesses not only when they received my prayer in person but also when they received my prayer only on the Internet or through GCN.
Many married couples, who were childless for years and even dozens of years, have come to give birth. From abroad, many prayer requests and photographs of the sick are received via fax or e-mail and when I pray with my hands on people’s names or photographs, the power of God takes place transcending space and time. Whenever I hold special revival meetings in Korea or overseas crusades, I prayed for the sick from the stage because I was unable to lay my hands on each of them. Still, a myriad of people have received healing at the same time and given glory to God. Countless more people, who were unable to attend such revival meetings or crusades in person, have testified to their healings by just attending them on the Internet, via satellite, or on television. After the crusades, a great number of people all around the world sent their testimonies by fax or email.
Now let’s look into wonders God the Almighty has manifested. At times of summer retreats or special events, the Manmin members have experienced the ways in which God governed the weather. When I prayed with faith, at times pouring rains stopped and other times clouds gathered from the four corners of the sky to shield Manmin members from the scorching sunlight when preparing for outdoor activities. It is impossible to compute the exact number of evidences or instances in which our church and its members have seen and experienced the healing of diseases and infirmities, extraordinary miracles, signs, and wonders in nature involving clouds, stars, and rainbows.
Such amazing works are still happening today because of the love of God who wants to not only set us free from diseases and answer our prayer but also open the way of salvation for all people.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, even today, the living God manifests all kinds of things that are simply beyond the capacity of man. I pray in the name of the Lord that by believing in this almighty God, you will give glory to Him and lead countless souls to the way of salvation.
