Deaconess Jeongyeop Roh, age 63, Parish 27, South Korea


Since I started to attend Manmin Central Church in July 2004, I have received a lot of blessings. Before attending Manmin, my face had been swollen and tears would flow in the wind. I could not sleep due to pain in my neck and shoulder. For twenty years, every spring I suffered from chronic backache. But when I received the prayer for the sick, I was healed of all of it.

As I recovered good health, I was able to work more diligently and was able to get my own house. I was leading a happy Christian life in blessing like these. In the meantime, I experienced the amazing power of God the Creator once again.

When I was young, I was so shocked that my right ear became deaf. So, while working I was often asked by others if I was deaf. But I could not receive medical treatment because of my family's financial situation. In July 2012, my daughter earnestly asked me to go to hospital for it and got a special check-up. But the result was that my hearing ability of my right ear was irrecoverable so my surgery was unnecessary.

Because I had lived hearing with the other ear for almost 40 years, I plainly accepted it. In fact, I had not thought that I could be healed of it through the prayer. At that time, I felt sorry before God because I could not offer official worship services except for Sunday Services since I often had to work overtime. So I was urged to give something more to God.

From 2013, I started to listen to Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermons "Lectures on Genesis", "The Seed of Life", and "The Message of the Cross". I repeatedly listened to "The Message of the Cross" and learned about the reason God placed the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the providence of human cultivation, and the love of God, and why Jesus Christ is our only Savior. I could lay a foundation of my faith. In spring 2015, I was listening to Senior Pastor's sermon with my cell phone on my way to work on subway. The person next to me told me that the sound was being heard by him. It was because my earphone in my left ear was not properly put in the ear and the sound was leaking out. It was strange because I thought I could hear well through the left earphone. But I soon forgot about it.

One day I suddenly came to think that even people who were born deaf came to hear after they received Dr. Lee's prayer and I might have recovered my hearing ability. And I put my earphone in my right ear and tried listening to his sermon. Then I could hear him well. Amazing! I was so thrilled.

And I realized that on subway I had not put the earphone tightly in my left ear but I could hear because I had already recovered my hearing ability in my right ear. I just did not notice it.

My hearing ability was medically irrecoverable and couldn't be treated with surgery. But God restored my hearing through the power of the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit urged me to check it and see. In November 2015, I went to hospital and checked my right ear. It turned out to be normal. Hallelujah!

Additionally, I experienced another healing work in Manmin Summer Retreat 2015. My left ankle was fractured when I was 18, and my left calf was swollen and the swelling did not subside. Both of my legs were different in thickness. But on the first night of the retreat, when I received Senior Pastor's prayer for the sick, my leg became normal.

I give all thanks and glory to God who healed me of my diseases, solved the financial problem, and blesses us to live with hope for Heaven.
