Since April of this year, I began experiencing pain whenever I bent my right thumb. Eventually, I could only bend it by forcing it with my other hand. The pain worsened day by day, and it became very inconvenient in my daily life. ...
“I just tried my best to restore my faith. But I was thankfully healed of tinnitus, too.”
Deacon Gyeongyeol Kim (aged 60, Parish 6 in Manmin Central Church)
I developed tinnitus in the left ear about 3 years ago. At first a small sound ‘sha’ began ringing in the ear, but it worsened increasingly. Finally, I had difficulty hearing others’ words. During the conversation, I repeatedly asked for their pardon and had to lean myself against them. And the ringing sound was bigger at nighttime because all was quiet. I wanted to be healed at Manmin Summer Retreat 2023 and in July I attended a Vowed Daniel Prayer Meeting in preparation of the event. When I was praying one night, Manmin Prayer Center’s President Boknim Lee prayed for me with her hand on me and I was filled with the Holy Spirit. From that day on I looked back on my past religious life. I wondered if I would be able to enter New Jerusalem with my present faith, and I concluded No. I was determined to possess ardent faith and lead a religious life fervently. I was reminded of my first fervor and love for the Lord. I was guided by my wife to Manmin Central Church on May 6, 1990. While listening to Senior Pastor Jaerock Lee’s sermon, I learned God gave His only begotten son Jesus as a propitiation to save us, and Jesus obeyed to the point of death, even on the cross, and I was so grateful for His grace and love. I really wanted to do the words of God and obey Him to bring joy to Him. When I obeyed what the Spirit urged me to do, it felt like God was pleased. When I was urged to give some amount of rice to a deacon, I obeyed and the deacon asked me, “How could you know I lacked rice?” When I was urged to not go to a place I was supposed to, I obeyed and didn’t go there. Later I came across a piece of news that there had been a car accident there.
I led a happy life in Jesus Christ obeying God’s words willingly, but my faith increasingly became lukewarm with the passing of time. Now I was appointed as a district leader and found myself insisting on my opinions against sub-district leaders, cell leaders and many members. I repented of my arrogance and self-righteousness before Father God, and tried my best to restore my first love. As I had learned we can become sanctified by means of the word of God and prayers, I began reading the Bible diligently and praying for spiritual change earnestly. And filled with the Spirit, I diligently paid many visits to district members to take care of them. When I attended Manmin Summer Retreat 2023, I was filled with God’s grace and love.
On the first day of the event, Acting Senior Pastor Soojin Lee led a special seminar and Divine Healing Meeting and I thought her message was for none other than me and Father God was guiding me to a better place in heaven. My heart was so touched. When she prayed for the sick from the podium, I received it with faith and returned home with emotion and the Spirit’s fullness. When I came back to Seoul along with my family, it was so hot that night. I turned on the air conditioner and the circulator. By the way, it was very noisy to me. I had never heard such a loud circulator sound before, so I thought it might be broken and turned it off. Now it was calm. Feeling unfamiliar with that situation, I turned off the air conditioner, too. All was quiet. Only then could I find myself completely healed. I was healed of my tinnitus. Hallelujah! I just tried my best to restore my first love for the Lord, but God thankfully restored my faith and healed me of tinnitus. I give all thanks and glory to our loving Father God who knows whatever I need and blessed me spiritually and physically.
