I haven’t been living this consistently myself, but I am heading in this direction. Fasting is powerful, as I have pointed out on this website
We are living in an age when some discount the
miracles of God as nonexistent. Multitudes today have
a religion, a form of godliness, but know nothing of the
power of Christ to transform lives. Religion has been
formal and ritualistic, devoid of all feeling and emo-
tion, based on an intellectual knowledge of Christ
without the benefit ora personal encounter with Him.
It is not enough to know of Christ. You must have a
personal encounter with Him. You must have been in
His presence and have been changed by His power. It is
a life-changing experience!
I praise and worship
the Lord for His
blessings and for healing
me in March, 1972. I was
not a Christian at the
time and worked at a paint shop. I had taken medicine
for a long time because of bad colds. As I drank wine
and took the medicine, the disease grew worse and
worse. Finally I lost so much strength in my legs it was
difficult to walk straight.
About three years ago, I had an
unusual pain and began to run a
fever. I went to the hospital for an
examination, and after the X-rays
and tests were completed the doctor
told me I had tuberculosis and
cancer. I thought I would die soon,
and I became very depressed.
In May, 1974, my little son began having symptoms
that indicated he was not well in body. He had an un-
usually high temperature and lacked energy. Feeling
concern, I put him in the Kyanghee University
Hospital for diagnosis, but after an extensive examina-
tion the doctors could find nothing wrong. After I paid
the $500 bill, he was discharged from the hospital yet
the symptoms remained, so we began regular
treatments at an Oriental clinic. He seemed to have so
little strength so we gave him powdered antler and a
special juice medicine every day.
For seven years I
taught school on a
small island off the
coast of Korea. Cut off
from the land and
friends, I sometimes
felt very lonely. When
these times of
loneliness, trouble,and homesickness came, I drank. I loved my wine and
eventually became an alcoholic. Without thinking of
the serious damage I was doing to my body, I thought
that I could not live without my wine. Often I would
forget to eat because of my heavy drinking.
For seven months before coming
to the prayer mountain, I could not
eat and was unable to walk. If I
drank even a little bit of water, I
would vomit and cough so that I
could not stand up. My heartbeat
was weak and I was taking many
different kinds of Chinese medicine
to try to make it stronger. I received countless injec-
tions, but each was effective for only a short while.
I gave my heart to Christ when I was young and have
tried to live for Jesus all my life. For 28 years I had suffered with a disease that was gradually leaving me paralyzed. I went to the Full Gospel Prayer Mountain to pray earnestly for the salvation of my son. I had always prayed that my son would
come to the Lord, but until that time he was not
interested in the things of God.
Prior to this time I had received medical treatment
and acupuncture treatments for three months, but my
condition was no better. My family advised me to go to
the hospital.
If you remember nothing else about this book, please remember this chapter. Although all that you have read until now is very exciting, what makes it all happen is contained in this chapter.
Our relationship with God is the key that unlocks everything that is His best for us into our lives. It is the key to every successful ministry. We read in Psalms 84:1-12:
How lovely is your dwelling-place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
