The Works of the Holy Spirit Will Not Stop Until Salvation Has Been Received by All Nations
Part 1
The Miracle Occurred for a Man
Like a Misty Dew Instantly being Lifted from His Life,
"God Really is Alive!'
It happened to Mr. Jaerock Lee in the March of 1968, when he had no knowledge of God. He drank too much at the housewarming party in celebration of his wedding and developed stomach cramps. Afterwards his stomach weakened day by day and various complications accompanied it. He made every kind of effort for healing for seven years, but in vain. His mother brought him whatever was said to be good for his healing and in desperation she even let him drink excremental water. But nothing worked for healing. There seemed to be no hope for recovery, and his mother eventually said to him, "You'd better die soon!"
The flame of his life was being extinguished in the shadow of the valley of death every day. One day God stretched out His hand of love. His second eldest sister came to him. She could hardly walk because of severe arthritis, and asked him to guide her to the Hyun Shin-ae Church. It was a means of wisdom she received in answer to her prayer to evangelize her younger brother.
He couldn't possibly refuse her earnest, repetitive plea and came out of his house leaning against a walking cane. When they arrived in the church, he was surprised to see so many people praying loudly. He soon reluctantly knelt down on the ground feeling oddly seeing them praying. At that very moment, his body became hot and he began sweating.
He had severe tympanitis and could barely hear even very loud sound before, but now he was able to clearly hear every sound. On the way back home, he found himself walking freely without the cane. The next morning he found there were no more symptoms of his diseases throughout his entire body. He who had been an atheist received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the healing of all his diseases! Hallelujah!
The next morning as he was remembering everything that had happened to him the previous day, he came to realize an amazing miracle of God had occurred to him and God had healed him of all his diseases. At that point he could do nothing but to make the following profession saying, "God really is alive!"

He Cleaned His Vessel by Looking up to Heaven and Cast off every Form of Evil until Free of Shame
After meeting the Living God, Deacon Jaerock Lee was filled with the Holy Spirit and the grace of God who had saved him when he was at the doorstep of death and then guided him to eternal life. He began attending church with joy and thanksgiving, and concentrated on reading the Bible, praying to God, and evangelizing as many neighbors and friends as he was able. He loved God first of all and obeyed whatever God had said in the Bible.
Reading the Bible, he underlined the verses that enlightened him on sins and then offered fervent prayers with fasting and vowed prayers in order to completely obey the words of God. Through fervent prayers and fasting, he not only threw away his sins revealed in action, but also struggled against and cast off his sinful natures and desires that had been unrevealed in his thoughts. At last, he found himself no long possessing any form of evil and that he had become purified in the Lord.
His earnest plea was to exactly understand the will of God recorded in the Bible and receive spiritual interpretations of the verses that were difficult to understand. He attended as many revival meetings as he was able to learn the depth of God's Word, but his thirst for the Spirit-anointing interpretations of the Bible was not quenched. He began struggling with God in prayer like Jacob at the Jabbok River and praying to God to give him the deeper spiritual interpretations of the Bible. God listened to his prayer and in deep prayers he was inspired by the Holy Spirit and received spiritual interpretations of the Bible from God.
In the July of 1982, Pastor Jaerock Lee founded Manmin Church in Seoul, Korea. He delivered the life-filled messages and manifested miraculous signs and wonders in the name of Jesus Christ, and by those works of the Holy Spirit, his church members improved their faith and experienced miraculous healing and spiritual change. The church had once been known as the church that was filled with the Spirit, for accomplishing sanctification through the Word and prayers, and being accompanied by signs and wonders.
In the February of 1993, in recognition of his church's growth and revival, his church was selected as one of the World's Top 50 Churches by the magazine 'Christian World'. Thanks to this acknowledgement he came to conduct special seminars and crusades in USA. It was also the beginning of invitations to conduct pastors' conferences and healing crusades in many countries including the USA, Japan, Tanzania, and Argentina.

Through the Mighty and Rushing Power of the Holy Spirit!
The Fivefold Gospel of Holiness Is Covering All Corners of the Earth
Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee accomplished depths of spiritual love. With that love he endured with those who repaid his goodness with evil and he blessed them in prayer. It touched God's throne and God gave him amazing power.
He began conducting mega-sized overseas crusades in 2000. In dozens of countries, whenever he conducted a crusade God performed amazing miracles through him and his powerful healing ministry attracted the attention of many world-renowned broadcasters and journalists. His Uganda Holy Gospel Crusade 2000 held in the Kampala Park was featured on CNN. During his 4-day India Crusade 'Miracle Healing Prayer Festival 2002' more than 3 million people were brought together and the place was filled with conversions about the healing miracles done in the name of Jesus Christ. His Russian Crusade 2003 was an appointed event as one of the official events celebrating the 300th anniversary of the City of St. Petersburg, and '2006 New York Crusade' that he conducted in Madison Square Garden, one of the world's most famous arenas, was broadcast live to 176 nations. In 2009, he conducted the Israel United Crusade titled "God Is Great" in ICC (International Convention Center) in Jerusalem. There he proclaimed Jesus Christ is the only Savior and the Messiah. In 2010, he also gave glory to God and proclaimed that God is alive through the messages filled with life and the explosive works of power in the Estonia Miracle Healing Crusade.
Pastors and revivalists world-wide have expressed their deep regard for the Fivefold Gospel of Holiness as preached by Dr. Lee. It is because the Gospel of Holiness, characterized by Regeneration, Sanctification, Divine Healing, Resurrection and Second Advent, has the power to change and renew the spirit, the soul and the body of a man. Rev. Dr. Lee has been teaching that the believers in the Lord Jesus can purify themselves not only from the sins committed in action but also from the sins hidden deep within the hearts by God's grace and strength and the Holy Spirit's help.
It is true that every believer can cast off every form of evil, sanctify his heart and accomplish the heart of Jesus Christ when he is in the power and grace of God and filled with the Holy Spirit's guidance and help. Rev. Dr. Lee always emphasizes any believer can possess higher level of spiritual faith to the same extent that he purifies himself, and that he can enter the better place in Heaven according to his higher level of faith.

Part 4
As the Waters Cover the Seas
– Preaching the Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ in Every Corner of the Globe!
The ultimate goal of our believing life is to gain salvation and enter Heaven. Men's sins are categorized into two groups; the original sin one is born with and willful sins one commits in their lives. Anyone whose sin is not resolved must be thrown into Hell and be tortured there forever. The Bible testifies that Heaven and Hell really exist and many people give their testimonies to spiritual encounters in Hell and Heaven. Dr. Jaerock Lee received many deep accounts of Hell and Heaven in fervent prayers, and his testimonies were compiled into Hell and the two-part series Heaven I & II.
God gave His power to Dr. Jaerock Lee because he had only obeyed His Word and borne the fruits of the Spirit. God has even performed extraordinary miracles through him just as recorded in Acts 19:11-12. When the handkerchief and aprons that were carried from the body of the apostle Paul were put on the sick, their illnesses departed from them and evils spirits were driven away. In the same way, when assistant pastors prayed for the sick with the handkerchiefs Dr. Jaerock Lee had prayed upon, many people were released from the bondage of evil spirits and the sufferings of diseases.
His powerful overseas ministries were strongly known to the world and he was listed as one of the 'Most Influential Christian Leaders of the Year' in both 2009 and 2010 by the biggest Russian-speaking portal site, www.invictory.org, and by the English website www.christiantelegraph.com. The news agencies named him the 'Missionary of the Year' in 2010 and 'TV Evangelist of the Year' in 2009.
Just as Jesus performed many signs and wonders confirming His Word to help people believe, Dr. Jaerock Lee's ministry is mainly characterized by manifestations of healing miracles, signs and wonders to confirm the existence of God and the authenticity of the Bible. He always confesses power belongs only to God and the source of his powerful healing ministry is the presence of God with him, and everything he has done was made possible only by the name of Jesus Christ.
