One day in January 2024, I woke up in the morning and felt pain in my neck. I could feel a small lump. As time passed, the lump grew bigger and bigger to turn into a bump, and the affected area became swollen. It was easily visible, so I turned up my collar or covered it with a scarf. ...
"Through the Prayer, My Heart Was Renewed and I Received Blessings in My Family"
My mother-in-law, Deaconess Ilrye Jang received Manmin News near a mineral spring and began attending Manmin Central Church. Then she was healed of bronchitis. This led my whole family to attend the church.
I received a lot of grace through Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's lecture on Revelation and diligently led my Christian life, but my husband Brother Dongkwan Kim attended church superficially as a matter of duty. As he liked to drink alcohol, smoke, and gamble, he stopped going to church after a while. We were in great debt because of his gambling. We moved from house to house and I also had to work.
In time he stopped gambling, but he still drank a lot of alcohol. He sometimes blacked out and slept on the street. He was even carried home on other people's backs. I did not like it and felt uncomfortable with him. I expressed my ill feeling to him and always felt depressed. As time went by, my faith became lukewarm. When I heard the sermon, I felt happy and made up my mind to practice it. But since I did not pray, I did not have the strength to put it in practice.
After work, I wanted to rest. Watching TV was the only thing that made me forget all my worries. I thought about praying, but I did not have strength to stop watching it. When a Special Daniel Prayer Meeting was held, I attended. But after it ended, I stopped praying again and kept leading my Christian life in distress.
In December 2013, I was set free from financial difficulties to some degree. So I stopped working to have free time. In February 2014, my parish pastor visited me and through her visitation, I decided to become the path to blessing and God's love for my husband and children through prayer. I began to pray in the sanctuary. Afterwards, my great grand parish pastor visited me and I gained great strength to pray. I was devoted to prayer.
I watched GCN (www.gcntv.org) instead of TV and received much grace through the testimonies and sermons. Then peace and joy came upon me. Then ill feeling was gone and I no longer used rough expressions. My family became peaceful.
I realized that it was not my husband and children and my situation that had troubled me. Just because I stopped praying, I had many problems. If I had not stopped praying, I could have been guided by the Holy Spirit in the way to solve all my problems and make a peaceful family. I started to blame myself for all problems. As I started to pray like this, I gained more realization through the Holy Spirit and I obeyed. Then blessings started to come.
My husband also stopped drinking and smoking by God's grace and power after the 2015 New Year's Service. He worked diligently. He also said he can feel Senior Pastor's sincerity while listening to his messages. He also repented that he had done just what he wanted to do and he had tried to solve all problems on his own. He became a responsible man.
We were also blessed to move to a good house. I give all thanks and glory to God who gave me grace and power to pray and leads me in the way of blessing.
