Pastor Sergio Jacobi (Chukray Mission Center, Belgium)
'I have never heard such deep messages! They must be given by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.'
Nowadays, I preach the gospel with confidence. I came to have spiritual power and fervor that I could spread the gospel. Many people around me have been wondering why I changed this much.
I answer them, "I changed thanks to Dr. Jaerock Lee's book The Message of the Cross. I also introduced the book to them as a book which carries spiritually deep messages. My friends and pastors around me confessed as well they felt the existence of the Holy Spirit when reading the book.
I saw listeners change whenever I preached the message of the cross as written in the book. Very important messages are included in the book such as 'Why did God put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden?' and 'The providence of the cross'.
I was impressed the most by Chapter 7, 'The Last Seven Words of Jesus on the Cross' and Chapter 8, 'True Faith and Eternal Life'. The Chapter 7 explains about the spiritual meaning of Jesus' last seven words on the cross. In Chapter 8 are the subparts like 'What a Profound Mystery It is!', 'False Confessions Do Not Lead to Salvation', 'Faith Accompanied with Action Is True Faith', and the like. I read the book three times. I was filled with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit every time. I could feel spiritual power coming from a different dimension.
Since then, my ministry style has changed. I realized deep in my heart that it should be my top priority to resemble the Lord. I came to know that what it means to fear God and the power of prayer.
I received such blessings through a member of Brussels Manmin Church. He told me that amazing works written in the Bible are still taking place when he attended the Bible Study Meeting which I led.
It made me become very curious about Manmin Central Church. I finally made a visit to Brussels Manmin Church in May, 2010. I met Pastor Guy Davdits and Missionary Christina Roh who is ministering to Belgium Manmin Mission Center. Missionary Roh gave me The Message of the Cross. This was the start of blessings God had prepared for me in advance.
On March 18th to 21st of 2011, Brussels Manmin Church had its Sanctuary Relocation Service and Handkerchief Healing Meeting (Acts 19:11-12) with Pastor Heesun Lee. I myself experienced wonderful works of God there.
At the time, I had been losing eyesight dramatically because I had to work at night using computer. I could not see well even with my glasses which I bought two months prior. I prayed to God, "I still have many Bible verses which I should read and learn about, but am I really no longer able to read them?"
On March 19th, I received Dr. Lee's prayer for the sick through video presentation during the Handkerchief Healing Meeting. Then, it was time for the sick to receive handkerchief prayer (Acts 19:11-12). At the moment, I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit who said to me, "I will show you a sign that you are on the right track." That was such a powerful voice.
After the message from the Holy Spirit, I received the handkerchief prayer. To my surprise, my vision was improved! I came to read very small letters without my glasses. When I came home, God's grace which could not be expressed with words came upon me. I gave Him prayer of thanksgiving with tears. The more I realize God's will, the more I feel grateful.
Everything changes: my ways of thinking, my point of view, my faith, and so on. I give thanks to the Lord who led me to the way of blessings.
