Manmin Summer Retreat is a global festival that attracts many people who long for grace. In 2015, it was held from August 3 to 6 in Deogyusan Resort in Muju, Jeonbuk Province.

During the first night, Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee led the seminar based on Psalm 62:11. He said that true love is accompanied with deeds and

truth, and God works today through signs, wonders, and powerful works and thereby shows His love. He told attendees to find the proofs of God’s love during the retreat as if they were playing in a treasure hunt. He also said that they would see countless works of God through which nothing is impossible.

The Seminar was followed by the Divine Healing Meeting, where amazing works of God’s power unfolded. The participants felt the love of God who wants His children to stay healthy and happy without diseases and to again realize His almightiness. Many people were healed of various diseases including cancer, shingles, cataracts,

skin disease, diabetes, scalds, and bad eyesight. More than 20 deaf people from other countries were healed and gained their hearing.

Though a heat wave warning was in effect for the entire country, it was very cool with refreshing breezes that blew continuously keeping the temperature optimal. Beautiful circular

rainbows, cross-shaped clouds, friendly dragonfl ies landing on the members and shooting stars allowed for attendees to feel the power and divine nature of God who created the heavens, the earth, and all things in them with great love for us.

In the Sports Day of the second

day, although they spoke in different languages and were a mix of many different nationalities, everyone was joyfully united in the Lord. On the third night during the Camp Fire Worship & Praise all offered up thanks to God who gives them true peace and happiness

that nothing on this earth can give. They were fi lled with earnest longing for the Lord’s second coming and with hope for eternal life with Him in Heaven.

Manmin Summer Retreat 2015 was attended by people from 27 countries. The events were interpreted in ten

languages. Let’s give all thanks and glory to the faithful God who worked with explosive powerful works! Now let’s recall the proofs of God’s love through the testimonies of the members from both in and outside of Korea (continued on pages 3 & 4).

After childbirth, m y j o i n t s w e r e s w o l l e n a n d I f e l t p a i n . I h a d the affected parts cau te r i zed wi th moxa but it didn’t treat the symptoms completely. I could not bend my joints so I was in pain for a long time. But after I received Dr. Lee’s prayer on the fi rst night, I came to bend my knees and had no pain. I am finally free from osteochondrosis after 53 years of suffering.

“I Was Set Free From Osteochondrosis after 53 Years!”

T h i r t y y e a r s ago, I got lumbar spinal stenosis and it caused my lef t leg to be paralyzed. I could not walk well. But when I attended the Retreat 2015, I received the grace of thorough repentance during Dr. Jaerock Lee’s Seminar. During the Divine Healing Meeting that followed, I received his prayer. Then my left leg became normal and I came to walk well. Hallelujah!

Lata Augustine, India

“My Paralyzed Leg Became Normal! I can walk!”

On July 30, 2015 I had shingles on the left side of my back. It caused me so much pain that I could not sleep. This pain lasted until the morning of August 3. I wanted to attend the retreat, so I received Dr. Lee’s prayer for the sick recorded on the automated response system and sprayed Muan Sweet Water. Then the pain was gone. I also received his prayer on the first night and then I was completely healed.

“I Was Healed of Shingles”

I had such high glucose levels that I had to have 35 units of insulin per day. After I came to Korea for the retreat, I did not take any insulin. But no abnormal symptoms happened to me. Moreover, I ate whatever I wanted, but I was fi ne. After I received Dr. Lee’s prayer, I felt my body and heart becoming clean like cloudy weather became clear. I felt very good.

No. 453 August 23, 2015 anmin ewsM NThe Word of Life 2

After we achieve our goal, we may fee l sa t i s f i ed and joyfu l . Moreover, we may gain wealth, fame, and authority. We have hope for Heaven and run to achieve the goal. Those who believe that God will reward them according to their works may naturally work harder for the Lord. Then, what does it mean to believe God is our rewarder?

1. We believe the Word of God and His promises in the Bible

God led the Israelites out of Egypt in order to lead them to Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey.

At that time Moses, the leader of the Exodus, dispatched twelve spies to scout the land of Canaan. It was indeed the land flowing with milk and honey as God had said. A single cluster of grapes produced on the land was so big that it was carried on a pole between two men.

At this time, ten of the spies, excluding Joshua and Caleb, were afraid of the inhabitants who looked strong. They failed to believe God’s promise and made negative remarks before the Israelites. After hearing from them, the Israelites also lost faith in God’s Word telling them that He would lead them to Canaan. They lost their hope for the blessed life in Canaan. Then they started to grumble against God and Moses. God had protected the Israelites with pillars of cloud and fire, let them drink water from the rock when they were thirsty, and fed them with manna and quail when

they were hungry. However, even then they did not have faith in God.

B u t J o s h u a a n d C a l e b w e r e d i f f e r e n t f r o m t h e o t h e r s . I n Numbers 14:7-8 it is recorded that they told the Israelites, “The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the LORD is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us a land which flows with milk and honey.” They completely believed God who had promised to lead them out of Egypt into the land of Canaan. They also believed His promise for blessed lives in the land flowing with milk and honey.

God was very pleased with the profession of faith that Joshua and Caleb made and blessed them to enter Canaan. We also should see the Word of God with eyes of faith. Then we can please God and receive blessings from Him.

2. We believe that God wil l give us the beautiful Heaven and reward us

H e b r e w s 1 2 : 2 s a y s , “ F i x i n g our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Jesus is the Son of God. He was with God before eternity and was wi th Him when He crea ted a l l things. However, Jesus was whipped by creatures and took all kinds of sufferings. He was then crucified. It was a truly difficult and tough way that He took.

Jesus believed that many people would be saved through the way of salvation He made. He believed that God would rejoice with it. He also believed that He would have great joy with God forever after He completed His duty as the Savior. That is why He took no concern about all regardless of the shame.

Moses the leader of Exodus was a son of a princess of Egypt. He had wealth and power. But Hebrews 11 : 2 5 - 2 6 s t a t e s , “ [ M o s e s ] …choos ing r a the r to endure i l l -

treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the t reasures of Egypt ; for he was looking to the reward.”

This i s fa i th . Looking to the reward itself is the proof that shows faith in God. By looking to the reward, we can act in faith all the more with hope for Heaven. Thus, we should believe God who is a Rewarder as Revelation 22:12 says, “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.”

3. How to completely believe God as our Rewarder

1 ) We s h o u l d c i r c u m c i s e our hearts by God’s Word and achieve sincere hearts

A s incere hear t re fe rs to the truthful heart void of falsehood, the good heart without evil, and the sanctified heart that resembles the Lord’s heart. It is the heart of spirit. Only when people have sincere hearts can they profess true faith, and it results in righteousness that can be recognized as righteousness by God and leads to sa lva t ion (Romans 10:10).

To the extent that you love the world or the things in the world, you cannot achieve the true heart. Without such a heart you cannot sacrifice yourselves perfectly. To bear truly beautiful fruit, you should achieve sincere hearts. Only then will you not sway and lose heart. You can go out winning until the end.

Matthew 13:44-46 says, “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.”

As said, if you want to enter New Jerusalem and gain the rewards

prepared for you, you must first be able to ‘sell all that you have’. That is, we must cast away the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life of this world and prepare a sincere heart. Then we can possess perfect faith in God the Rewarder.

God wants His children to see Heaven with hope. He wants us to act with faith that God will repay us according to what we have done on the earth. So, God is pleased with people who do not lose faith in any kind of situation. He answers their prayers and He guides them to the way of blessing.

2) We should pray fervently and arm ourselves with the Word

In the Bible are many verses where God promises rewards for us (Psalm 18:20; Luke 6:35).

God promises to give blessings to anyone if they live according to His Word. But we sometimes meet with persecutions when we try to live in a godly manner in the Lord. In this case, we must pray fervently and arm ourselves with the Word in order that we may not lose faith that God gives the best things to us all the time.

Then strength to overcome every trial comes down from above and we can receive the Holy Spirit’s works. If you realize the spiritual reason of the trial and always give thanks with joy, it is light itself and darkness cannot but go away. We can bear up suffering, we don’t feel disheartened in persecutions, and we can rejoice because the reward prepared for us in Heaven is great.

Dea r b ro the r s and s i s t e r s i n Christ, God promises to reward us as He promised the blessed land to the Israelites. Only when we believe the living God is our Rewarder can we receive the blessings. I urge you to believe the Word of God and run earnestly although faced with difficulties in reality. I pray in the name of the Lord that by doing so you will glorify God everywhere you go.

God Is Our Rewarder

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).

During the retreat, it was very cool and nice. As we saw many dragonfl ies, we were fi lled with God’s love. On the first night, a great number of people were healed and we felt God’s presence with us very strongly. During Camp Fire Worship & Praise on the third night, we were so happy to feel His love. The church members moved in a very orderly manner. I was thankful that I am a member of the Manmin family.

Pastor Vladimir Osipov and his wife, Russia

I was fi lled with hope for New Jerusalem when I saw Senior Pastor praise with tears during Camp Fire Worship & Praise. I made up my mind to cast off evil from my heart quickly, achieve beautiful and good heart, and become the fruit of spirit. Meantime, I was healed of indigestion that had troubled me for 20 years. Hallelujah!

Sister Shen Mei Yun, Singapore

“I Was Healed While Praising”

Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee was with the members until all the events ended and I was moved by it, because it showed his sincerity. My wife had been healed of pneumonia and cholecystitis by his prayer transcending space and time. By participating in Summer Retreat 2015, we became more filled with God’s love and we came to love Korea all the more due to Manmin.

Pastor Shlomy Abramov and his wife, Israel

“Manmin Was Full of God’s Love”

Manmin members were very kind to me and I was very thankful. I was very happy and joyful during the retreat. I saw dragonflies coming down from above like snowflakes falling. Who can explain this but as a miracle!

One day, I was going up to the roof top on a ladder to pick peppers I had planted. Suddenly the ladder broke and I fell to the ground. I had severe pain on my both sides, and there was something like a hump on my right ankle bone. I could not stand up. And I had to use crutches. During the Divine Healing Meeting of the retreat, when I received Senior Pastor’s prayer, my ankle bone felt very hot as if someone put hot red pepper powder on it. When I touched it, it was very hot. Afterwards, I came to walk without crutches.

Deaconess Insuk Bang, Parish 1, South Korea

“I Can Walk without Crutches”

On February 19, I fell f rom a place about two meters high and was diagnosed with comminuted (mult iple) f emoral hip- joint fractures. I was told that treatment would take six months. During the f irst three months, I used a walking aid. At the fourth month, I relied on a stick and still limped. Right before the retreat, I had severe pain and could not kneel down. I was having a hard time moving. But when I received Dr. Lee’s prayer during Divine Healing Meeting, I felt a burning sensation throughout the affected parts and then came to walk without any pains! Sister Minju Kim, South Korea

“I Was Healed of Comminuted Femoral Hip-joint Fractures”

I have suffered from astigmatism for the past f ive years. I could not read small letters and had to wear eye glasses. My right wrist was also fractured, so I suffered from pain when I bent my wrist. When I went to hospital, the doctor told me to have a surgery. Sometimes the pain spread to both my elbows and I could not move them freely. But after Dr. Lee’s prayer I came to see well without glasses and the pain on my right wrist and both elbows was gone.

Sister Cynthia McMillan, Australia

“I Came to Hear and Received Healing of Breast Cancer” “I Recovered Better Eyesight and My Fractured Wrist Became Normal”

I was born normal, but at the age of four, I became deaf after I hit my head. In September 2014, I began attending Manmin Central Church’s services and Daniel Prayer Meeting via the Internet. I received Dr. Lee’s prayer during the series, and two months later I found that I was healed of breast cancer. Furthermore, I started to hear. And during the Divine Healing Meeting in the retreat, I came to hear better and was able to discern people’s voices and instrumental sounds.

Sister Jytte Dahl, Denmark

A week before the ret reat, I tore the ligament of my lef t shoulder while I was carrying something heavy. The hospital urged me to have a surgery. But I wanted to receive healing by faith in Manmin Summer Retreat. I prepared for it with longing and read The Message of the Cross in Vietnamese. During Divine Healing Meeting, I received Senior Pastor’s Prayer. Then I felt something shooting on my shoulder. Afterwards, I tried raising my lef t arm and I had no pain and came to move freely. Brother Habantang, Vietnam
