This end time is full of sins and evil, so God has allowed believers to have various spiritual experiences so that they can feel heavenly beauty and happiness on the earth and thereby overcome the world with faith.
"What an Amazing Rainbow!"
"And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance" (Revelation 4:3).

On May 15, 1998, in the sky over Manmin Central Church a circular rainbow surrounding the sun appeared! Since then rainbows have constantly appeared innumerable times during the church's events and mission trips.
On January 19, 2011, I took a photo of an amazing rainbow by the grace of God. It was a circular one surrounding the sun. At its both sides were two symmetric rainbows that looked like the wings of an eagle with diamonds at the center. Over the rainbow were a semi-circular rainbow and an arc-shaped rainbow. It was a comprehensive rainbow with various shapes (Photo).
On the morning of that day my father, Pastor Myeongsool Kim of Muan Manmin Church, had run into the house in amazement. He said in haste, "Something astounding happened in the sky." I ran out and looked at the sky; I was stuck in amazement. It was my very first time to see such a rainbow. I ran to the Muan Sweet Water Garden with my camera.
It was such a huge rainbow that I could not get it even with my fish-eye lens. I lay down on the grass and took the photos of it. At first it was a circular and symmetric rainbow. As time passed, its shape kept changing. The church members with me gave a shout of excitement and glorified God with thanks and surprise. We felt thrilled because it seemed to emit the great glory and dignity of God.
Whenever I took pictures of the evidences of the living God, the love of God swept over me. Moreover, as I realized the existence of the spiritual world, I gained more hope for Heaven and my spiritual faith also increased.
I give all thanks and glory to God who let me know this mysterious spiritual world and even witness such evidences through the power of the shepherd.
"Gorgeous Aurora Lights Are the Source of Thanks and Joy"
"As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking" (Ezekiel 1:28).

My husband worked in another country so we had to live separately. I could endure it since I lived with my son who was nice and considerate. But after he went for the army, I felt sad being alone and missed them so much. I shed a lot of tears and lost the strength to pray. As I tried to pray, I could deal with it to some extent but still I felt empty.
On May 20, 2011, God allowed Manmin members to feel His original lights emanated from the spiritual space. It was aurora light and we could take pictures of various shapes of aurora lights. There were so many shapes such as fish-like, fruit-like, and flower-like aurora lights, which reminded us of Heaven.
I also took pictures of angel and apple-like aurora lights by the grace of God. One night I took the picture of the cross and it emanated the aurora light of Jesus' image (Photo).
From then I felt the grace and love of God all the more. I no longer felt empty and felt full of joy and thanks. Faith and hope increased in me. I give thanks to the Lord who comforted my heart with such mysterious and beautiful aurora lights and filled my heart with hope for Heaven. Hallelujah!
"Through the Separation of Spirit, I Became Assured of the Existence of Heaven and Hell"
"I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven" (2 Corinthians 12:2).
Deacon Hwansang Kim, age 57, Parish 9, Manmin Central Church
During the second half of Friday All-night Service on May 25, 2013, I had an amazing experience. On the altar were eight pastors and church workers who had become sanctified. Their spirits were separated through Dr. Jaerock Lee's prayer and they respectively visited heavenly dwelling places, the Upper Grave, the Lower Grave, and Hell. After the separation, they testified to what they saw (Photo).
In the Bible it is written that Paul's spirit was separated from his body and caught up to Heaven. In the same manner, the pastors and workers spoke about what they had seen in Heaven and Hell. It convinced me of the existence of Heaven and Hell.
What was even more amazing, while I was listening, in front of my eyes was a spacious and magnificent heavenly flowerbed spreading out. Although I saw only this flowerbed, I felt so peaceful and fascinated. Then God allowed me to see people who were suffering in the Lake of Fire with only their necks and heads out of the lake. They were so miserable and desperate.
After I experienced it, I read Dr. Lee's books Heaven I & II and Hell and came to know the details. I learned about the love of God who gives us back according to what we have done and came to have more hope for Heaven. It was a great source for faith since I had just started my life as a Christian at that time.
Now I am now one of the leaders in 3-4 Men's Mission and a cell leader. I am working with hope for New Jerusalem. I give all thanks and glory to God who taught me the duty of a man and gave me true hope.
