ScriptureJohn 14:12
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father."
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
Tonight, I deliver a message, titled 'Explosive Power of the Shepherd" which is the 4th prayer title of year 2011.
What kind of heart do you have when you see the power of God manifested through me-
You rejoiced like children and you gave glory to God: when people with various diseases were healed, and the infirmities became normal; when the Automated Telephone Prayer System was first inaugurated, when God gave us Muan Sweet Water and when He gave us the handkerchief that contains His power; when you saw freely moving stars, appearing and disappearing clouds, and various shapes of rainbows; when the weather changed, temperatures were moderated, and when dragonflies appeared; and when you witnessed these things in the beginning.
But now what kind of heart do you have-
Do you take it for granted and think, 'It happens like this all the time.'-
I'm going to tell you about what had been going on up until the time that I was able to manifest such power of God.
You will then realize it was not given easily, and in fact the power was given only after a very strict price was paid in accordance with justice.
I hope that all of you will be able to give thanks to God the Father from the very bottom of your hearts for having brought forth the works of His power.
And I ask you in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, to support me when I manifest the explosive work of the power.
Jesus said in John 14:12, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father."
One who truly believes Jesus is the Son of God and Christ can do what Jesus did.
Furthermore, he who truly believes will also do even greater works than Jesus did.
Since it was spoken by Jesus who is the truth itself, this verse is true.
By the way, you should correctly understand what it means that 'he will do greater works than Jesus did."
The purpose of Jesus' coming to the earth is to save mankind as the Savior.
For this, Jesus was hung on the wooden cross, shed His precious blood, and died.
However, there had to be evidence that Jesus, who redeemed mankind from sin, was not a normal man but the Son of God.
This was why Jesus healed people of various diseases, and made infirmities such as the crippled, the lame, the blind, the deaf, and the mute become normal.
He even revived the dead, and walked on the surface of water.
Demons obeyed the word of Jesus. Inanimate objects such as waves and the wind also obeyed and became calm.
In this way, He manifested many signs and wonders that a man can never do and He showed that He is the Son of God.
And then, Jesus said in John 14:11, "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves."
The reason Jesus manifested such signs and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit was to allow for people to believe that He Himself is the Son of God.
It is because only when people believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior can they receive salvation.
By the way, the works of the power that Jesus showed are but a sampling of the signs and wonders which the children of God can manifest by faith.
A sample of things is a number of things that are chosen out of a larger group and then used in tests or used to provide information about the whole group.
Jesus showed various samples of works that the children of God could manifest.
After Jesus resurrected and ascended into Heaven, the Holy Spirit came down to the hearts of believers.
Those believers can do what the Lord did by the help of the Holy Spirit, and they can do even greater works.
If there is a product sample, then people can produce an infinite number of the product.
Moreover, they can produce many more similar products making use of the sample.
Likewise, it became possible that various sings and wonders could be manifested by the work of the Holy Spirit according to the time and situation.
In other words, Jesus showed samples of 'signs and wonders that follow the believers.'
These samples can be manipulated hundreds, thousands, or millions times more in the works of the Holy Spirit.
Depending on the person through whom the work is done, the level of the power of the work can be different.
Jesus said, "All things are possible to him who believes."
Once an individual accepts Jesus Christ and becomes a child of God, that person gains the capability to manifest signs and wonders.
However, the important thing is the faith of the person.
It must be the faith that God acknowledges, and not the faith acknowledged by people.
In addition, depending on the depth of the faith that God acknowledges, the level of the power can be different.
In the days of the Early Church when the gospel began to be preached, many wonders and signs were manifested by apostles.
Along with the disciples of the Lord, most of the apostles directly witnessed the resurrected Lord.
And thus, they could never deny the Lord, and they could have perfect faith.
Therefore, they courageously preached the gospel in the most menacing situations, and the Lord was also with them to manifest many wonders and signs.
As its result, countless people accepted Jesus Christ, and became children of God.
Acts 2: 43 and 2:47 says, "many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles" and "the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved."
Apostle Paul did even greater works.
After he met the Lord once, he came to have unchanging faith, and he manifested amazing works of power.
Not to mention healing people of various diseases, he even made the crippled stand up.
Furthermore, Acts 19:11-12 says, "God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out."
It shows newly applied works of the power began to appear.
Apostle Paul manifested such amazing works of the power like this, and diligently preached the gospel of Jesus Christ.
His work had a tremendous impact on the evangelization of the Roman Empire.
We are living in the end time.
Among the total population that has been born since the beginning of human cultivation 6,000 years ago, one third of that population is living today.
As the day of the Judgment comes closer and closer, sin and evil are so prevalent, and many souls are going to the way of death.
Jesus said in Luke 18:8, "When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth-"
We live in the generation when it is not easy to have faith which is worthy of receiving salvation.
However, God the Father has not given up on the souls who live in this generation.
In order to save just one more soul, He has prepared for the fiery works of the Holy Spirit to be manifested.
In God's providence for this end time, I was called as a servant of the Lord, and I started this church.
From the moment I met God, I believed 100% that God is alive, and I also believed that every record of the Bible is 100% true.
As I lived completely by the word of God, I received answers to whatever I prayed for.
As I was preparing myself to become a servant of the Lord, whenever I prayed for the sick, they were healed.
After I started the church, amazing signs and wonders continuously followed.
Most of the examples of the signs and wonders that Jesus showed were manifested in this church.
And then, beginning with the incidents of 1998 and 1999, I received higher levels of power than I had before.
By that time, instead of returning the love that I had given to them, they tried to destroy me.
But I didn't hate anyone, and I didn't curse anyone. I dealt with them only with goodness and love.
God the Father observed this entire process and acknowledged that I accomplished the heart that I loved even the enemy.
And the enemy devil and Satan could do nothing but acknowledge it, as well.
It was proclaimed in the spiritual realm that, not only perfect faith, but also the goodness to love even the enemy, had been accomplished in my heart.
As its result, God allowed all the 4 levels of the Power to be given to me.
As witness, Muan Sweet Water came to exist in March, 2000.
The work of changing salty water into drinkable water is among the 'Works of Creation'.
As I prayed, the light of the 4th Level of Power was taken into the Muan Sweet Water, and the Power was able to be brought forth through it.
The 4th Level of Power was fully manifested in mega-sized overseas crusades which began in the year 2000.
Within the 4th Level of Power is the Power of Creation.
The power of creation can bring forth higher levels of works than the works that burn diseases and germs or drive away the darkness.
It is because 'creation' is the sole discretion of God the Creator.
The Power of Creation was first manifested with the Muan Sweet Water but gradually became more complete.
In 2002, I was able to achieve the level of the 'Most High Power of Creation.'
It was not the end of the works of power that God the Father wanted to manifest through me.
God made me begin "the Study of the Spirit" beginning in April, 2003 so that I could enter into a new dimension.
For about a year, He taught me the deep spiritual realm.
And then, from the September of 2004, He began to train me with "Spiritual training."
For about a year the Father made me go through 'hands-on-experience' using what I had learned so that I could fully utilize the power.
This spiritual training took many years.
I went through the process of "breakaway of spirit," "division of spirit," and "traveling between spaces."
While undergoing the process, physical strength was drained from my body and spiritual strength filled my body again, and I went through this cycle a couple more times.
If this physical strength had been drained from a normal man, he would have died.
During the spiritual training, I had to hover between life and death many times.
At the end of the spiritual training (June, 2008), a new process began; it was to recover the 'original heart' of God.
By January 2009, I recovered it by 50%. As a result, I reached the level that I could manifest the "Comprehensive Work of Power."
The biggest fruit of this comprehensive work of the power was the Israel Ministry.
I traveled throughout all of Israel to preach that Jesus is the Christ, and confirmed the word with the power of the Holy Spirit.
In addition, I successfully held a crusade there so that I accomplished the mission of "return of the gospel."
I fulfilled the prophecy of the bible that the gospel would return to Israel.
From year 2000, we began overseas crusades, and until the return of the gospel to Israel in 2009, we ran without ceasing.
As I received the spiritual training, the power became greater, and you prayed for me and supported me both with your heart and money.
The 4th prayer title of year 2010 was the "Unceasing Power of God."
Even though I underwent the spiritual training for years to raise the level of the power, it was not the end.
God the Father said that the scope of the power would be wider and deeper than ever before through the works of the Unceasing Power.
And God told me how the work of the power would appear in 2011. He said it would be "explosive works of the power".
When something spreads out or takes place quite suddenly, people say it 'explodes' or is 'explosive'.
"The explosive work of the power" is the work that will let all people know that it is the power accomplished through God.
If people have the least of goodness, when they see the works, they cannot but acknowledge that it is truly the work of God.
It is the power that they cannot doubt even if they may try, and that they cannot deny even if they may want to deny.
To show the explosive work of the power at this end time, God the Father made me undergo many kinds of spiritual training.
Especially in the last year, 2010, I received another kind of spiritual training. It was the "training to adapt to the dimensions."
It was the training to experience the 4 different levels of spaces from the fleshly-physical space to the original space where God dwells and to adapt myself to them.
Since I met the Lord, I have never been sick.
However, while experiencing the fleshly space, many odd things happened to my body.
I lost my voice, and I fractured my little finger.
I had to suffer from pains that most people suffer.
You witnessed the whole process.
However, I also had to experience the fleshly space in the areas you couldn't see.
The pain and suffering that I had for the 7 years before I met God reappeared and then disappeared from me.
Experiencing and adapting myself to different spiritual spaces was not easy, either.
For example, there is a thrill ride which lifts people to the height of 100 meters, and suddenly drops them in free-fall almost to the ground.
People may enjoy the ride for a couple of times.
However, what if you have to repeatedly ride it for a few months-
You couldn't even control your body and mind.
I had to frequently experience the completely different spaces and adapt myself to them.
Sometimes, I felt dizzy while I was delivering a message.
This "training to adapt to the dimensions" has enabled me to be able to walk on the water and bring down UFO in the future.
To walk on the water, I have to enter within the space of the 4th dimension, and to bring down UFO, I have to enter within the space of the 2nd dimension.
Now I am able to adapt myself to the space of any of the dimensions.
Now, what is the evidence that I can fully adapt myself to any spacial dimension-
It is to lead the souls to the light who had no other choice but to fall into Hell according to justice because of their sins that lead to death.
It could be done only by the original love as I enter the space of the 4th dimension, which is the original space of God the Father.
The original heart of God the Father doesn't want any soul to fall into destruction.
However, those who commit the sin that leads to death cannot receive salvation according to justice.
Therefore, there must be sacrifice of love that transcends justice to save such people.
As Jesus died on the cross, He set mankind free from the curse of the law which dictates 'the wage of sin is death.'
According to the justice of the law, sinners cannot but go to death, but thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus' love that transcends justice, the door of salvation opened for sinners.
Likewise, as I risked my life by rushing with only my being into the space of the 4th dimension, the souls who committed the sin that leads to death were given an opportunity of salvation once again.
It was the same as if I had entered into the fires of hell with only my self to save countless souls who were falling into the fire of hell.
It was the 'traveling of dimension' that I embraced the souls who were destined to fall into hell, put them in my heart, and took them to heaven.
During its process, my body was greatly damaged.
If God the Father had not upheld me with spiritual strength, my spirit and soul could have left my body.
This training to adapt to the dimensions was preparation to manifest the 'Explosive Work of the Power.'
However, the explosive work of the power cannot take place if it is only I who is prepared.
All kinds of complex conditions must be met.
As my power increases, the financial blessing should come upon this church at the same time.
The strength of church workers and the faith of church members should also grow up.
The financial blessing is very closely related to the world situation and the economic situation of Korea.
As I said earlier, Jesus shows the sample of the power to those who believe in Him.
He also said that the work could be multiplied many times over according to their faith in the works of the Holy Spirit.
The explosive work of the power can be thousands or tens of thousands greater than the sample of the power that Jesus showed and it can cover the whole world.
To make it possible, many conditions should be met in a complex way.
Let's think of a product that has world-wide popularity.
Some products can become a world-wide hit as soon as they are launched.
To become a hit product like this, most of all, its quality should be good.
Moreover, there is a need for a financial base to produce the product in mass quantity.
And then, they need a global market.
And the timing of the product's launching is important.
Along with these, there should be talented employees who are good at all the processes from production to marketing.
In addition, the reputation established by those who used the product before others is very important as well.
People say it is safe to purchase a product that has established a good reputation.
It means that consumers' trust in the product has been piled up high.
I'm sorry to compare the Power with a hit-product, but to manifest the explosive work of the Power, we need the preparation work which is the same with the preparation for a superior-top-shelf product.
There must be strong financial support.
And through global parish and broadcasting network, we should secure the market in the whole world.
In addition, we need talented workers who will accomplish all these procedures together.
At this point, the role of our members who already experienced the power is very important.
It is because the fruit of the work of power and of the holiness gospel is you, the Manmin members.
As the explosive work of the power unfolds and as we accomplish the world mission, many people will visit this church, and you should become the 'sample' before their eyes.
Not only outward appearance, but also the inner faith should be well built up, and you should become a sample to show that they can also become like you through the power and the gospel of holiness.
"They are not troubled with diseases or accidents, and they receive financial blessing." "They are united as one in love just like the Early Church." Whoever watches you should be able to say such things about you.
We are very close to this.
While I was undergoing the training to adapt to the dimensions, the hearts of our members were purified.
The average measure of faith of our members has reached the level that God the Father wants.
We can become like the Early Church.
Furthermore, many workers are arming themselves with varied capabilities, and the church organization is well prepared to accomplish the global parish.
Once the financial blessing which God the Father has tied up is released, we can ignite the Explosive Works of the Power.
Through the Explosive Works of the Power, we will accomplish the providence that God has set for the end time.
We will build the Canaan Sanctuary and the Grand Sanctuary.
We will accomplish the world mission and national evangelization amazingly.
Through all these, the work of salvation for countless souls will be achieved.
We will reveal the glory of God to the entire world.
We will fulfill the word in Habakkuk 2:14, which reads, "For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea."
I hope you will pray for this all the more fervently.
May you also join the array of glory and stand together bravely, in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I pray!
