Signs and Wonders
Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee met the living God and believed all the signs and wonders written in the Bible completely. And he asked God to let him manifest them based on John 4:48 that says, "So Jesus said to him, 'Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.'"
1. Wonders 'Wonders' refer to God's works that control the weather, natural phenomena, and celestial bodies. Wonders move all things in the space including stars and control meteorological phenomena on the earth such as snow, rain, wind, clouds, temperature, and atmosphere pressure.
>> God 'Tailored' the weather during Summer Retreat
On August 1 in 1983, the first Manmin Summer Retreat was supposed to be held. But from the previous night, it poured with lightning and thunders. It did not look like it was going to stop raining. The church members prayed together asking God to stop the rain, and then they went down from the sanctuary on the second floor. As the first person stepped on the ground outside, the heavy rainfall turned into mist and lightning and thunders stopped.
In a retreat, the typhoon coming to the retreat venue changed its course, and in another a typhoon disappeared. During Sports Day, clouds came from all directions to protect the members from the strong sunshine or cool winds kept blowing. In 2015, especially, God let Manmin experience heavenly winds filling them with spiritual fullness. While heat wave alert was in effect nationwide, the members enjoyed the optimum weather, experienced the spiritual realm, and felt heavenly joy.
>> Extraordinary and marvelous rainbows and large swarms of dragonflies
On May 15, 1998, the first circular rainbow appeared and surrounded the sun in the sky over Manmin Central Church. Since then, the members have frequently witnessed many various extraordinary rainbows during the church's events including its branch churches' events. The shapes of the rainbows varied from circular rainbows around the sun, linear ones, and symmetry ones to comprehensive rainbows with several shapes together. As recorded in Revelation 4:3, there is a rainbow around God's throne, and it is also a sign of His covenant (Genesis 9:16).
From August 2006, big swarms of dragonflies started to appear during Manmin Summer Retreat. They became source of joy for the members because they came down from around the sun and sat and stayed on the members. It reminded them of a biblical incident of God sending quails in the book of Exodus, which increased the members' faith. Moreover, the dragonflies eradicated harmful insects such as mosquitoes and moths.
>> Typhoons caused no harm and heavy rainfall ended the long droughts
During the Philippine Crusade in 2001, the typhoon was driven away through Dr. Lee's prayer. Although it was rainy season, the outdoor crusade was successfully conducted in Luneta Park in Manila for four days. In 2005, when the hurricane Gustav was on the way to New Orleans, U.S., the members in the area asked Dr. Lee to pray. After his prayer, Gustav lost its power and died out.
In 2002, India was suffering from long lasting drought. When the church's mission team arrived at Chennai International Airport in Tamil Nadu for India United Crusade, it rained a lot during the period of crusade after the arrival, which ended the national drought. In 2009, when Israel United Crusade was held, Israel was having hard time due to severe drought. It caused the water level of the Sea of Galilee to drop to a very dangerous point. Then some media press asked Dr. Lee for a prayer. After his prayer, it rained heavily though it was dry season.
2. Signs 'Sign' refers to the works that show the sign of the Lord's or the Holy Spirit's involvement (Mark 16:17-18). Signs include such works as healing incurable diseases and driving away demons by prayer. The Lord's disciples and Apostle Paul manifested many signs.
>> The extraordinary miracles manifested through the handkerchief that Dr. Lee prayed on
As people carried handkerchiefs or aprons from Apostle Paul's body to the sick, extraordinary miracles happened (Acts 19:11-12). In the same manner, through the handkerchief that Dr. Lee prayed on, many great works of the Holy Spirit occurred. In September 1999, Pastor Taesik Gil led crusades in Pakistan with the handkerchief, and since then Handkerchief Crusades have been held in many places around the world.
Pastor Yuri Kalmykov in Israel received the prayer of handkerchief from Rev. Soojin Lee for his brother who was in the Intensive Care Unit in Russia. His brother had barely sustained his life with respirator, but after the prayer his heart became normal and after a few days he was discharged from hospital. Sister Lydia Godiz in the Philippines had a granddaughter who could not walk from birth, but after she received the handkerchief prayer from Rev. Heesun Lee her granddaughter came to walk. Brother Jacob Otienou in Kenya fractured his spine but through the handkerchief prayer of Bishop Dr. Myeongho Cheong, he came to walk and jump. There are many other people who received healing and answers through the handkerchief of power.
>> Infertility and Down syndrome were healed, and fetus' gender changed by prayer
In Special Revival Meeting, 1993, particularly, tens of couples received the blessing of conception at the same time through Dr. Lee's prayer. And Senior Deaconess Okja Kim could not have a baby so she was ill-treated by her family-in-law. She even made a suicide attempt drinking pesticides. But through Dr. Lee's prayer, she was healed of pesticides poisoning and conceived a baby after 21 years of marriage.
Senior Deaconess Yunyeong Choi also came to have a baby after Dr. Lee's prayer. She and her husband founded a branch church in Japan and evangelized many couples who were suffering from infertility. They also received the blessing of conception. Such works are still occurring to many couples in and out of Korea.
Moreover, many fetuses that were categorized as a high-risk group of Down syndrome were born normal, and even the gender of fetuses changed by the prayer of power of re-creation.
>> Eradicated newly-discovered diseases including SARS, foot-and-mouth disease, swine flu, and Ebola
When the whole world was stuck with horror due to SARS in 2003, Deaconess Kuembok Choi in China was healed of it by Dr. Lee's prayer. In 2010, during the epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease, the members of Chuncheon Manimn Church received Dr. Lee's prayer transcending space and time. And it stopped and their livestock farms were protected safely.
In September 2009, Dr. Lee prayed for eradication of swine flu in Israel United Crusade. Then the spread of swine flu ceased in Israel. In September 2014, Mr. Sebastien Impeto Pengo, Governor of Equateur in DR Congo asked Dr. Lee to pray to eliminate Ebola virus in his country. Then the Ebola virus ended.
Power of Re-creation
The power of re-creation is the power through original voice as the light came into existence when God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3). It is the power that can recover things God created beautifully when they were destroyed and damaged. That is, the power can revive things dead and renew everything between the earth and heaven.
>> Followed God's will to become the Lord's witnesses to the remotest part
1 Timothy 2:4 says God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. The Lord also said to us, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
With the desire and request of God and the Lord in his heart, Dr. Jaerock Lee dreamed to be the Lord's witness through the power of the Holy Spirit. His goal was not just to establish a big church but also to spread the holiness gospel towards the whole world and lead countless people to salvation. In the middle of pursuing the goal, the church was selected as one of the World's Top 50 Churches by Christian World magazine.
From 2000, he conducted overseas crusades in many countries. He went to anywhere God told him to go, and he did not go to the countries where God did not tell him to go although people asked him to come. With Uganda Holy Gospel Crusade reported by CNN as the beginning, he constantly preached the holiness gospel to the world until he preached in Israel in 2009.
>> With the power of re-creation, God's love for souls' salvation
God's children who accepted Jesus Christ can become His true children if they become sanctified by the Holy Spirit's help. Such children are followed by the evidence showing that God is with them and then He is walking with them; the evidence is power. Power belongs to God (Psalm 62:11), and God gives this power only to His true children who are after His heart. In Manmin's history, such works of power have never stopped, and it is only getting stronger and stronger.
During overseas crusades, innumerable powerful works occurred, but it was just part of power. Since December 25 in 2010, the power of re-creation has been given so that the church can defeat antichrist in the end time. When the power is completed one hundred percent, the church will go to the world again and reveal God's glory. Also, the power of re-creation will cover Korean Christian society together with the holiness gospel, and then great works of repentance and revival will take place.
