By special Christian Telegraphcorrespondent How many times today can we hear about real Lord’s miracles which He is doing for people? Although secular media do not want to spread such news we can be witnesses of real miracles nowadays. When I traveled through South Korea I met many people who believed in God’s miracles and received them. I would like to share one testimony with you. I interviewed a sister Hyun Joo Baek and I was impressed by her strong faith. I started with my usual question: How has it happened? When I was four I began loosing my eyesight. I wasn’t aware that my eyesight would be getting worse and worse. When I was in fourth grade we had a physical test in school and I received a paper with results with the description and the eyesight could not be measured. It was too low. My teacher called my parents to take me to the hospital and the doctor was angry. He said to my parents, “How could you allow your daughter to remain like this?” He said it was too late to even have a surgery. Even if I had an operation I would get my eyesight back but it would still be too low. I needed glasses at that moment and the glass was so thick I had to order special glasses. So when I wore eye glasses it was very hard to see and recognize something there. Every six months I went to the hospital and I changed my glasses again and again and once the doctor said: “Sorry, I can’t find glasses for you anymore, I just can’t find such glasses.” Because my eyeball was moving without my intention it was a distraction. I was a teenager and when I would look at a person, he or she would ask me: “Why are you staring at me?” It must be very depressing... Yes, I was so depressed. I built a wall between myself and other people because I didn’t want to talk to them or have fellowship with them because of my eyes. I started my Christian life when I was four years old. But I was just a regular church attendant according to my mom. I would just come to attend the service. In 2006 we had a Manmin summer camp in Muju and I attended the summer retreat. I couldn’t feel that really existed until 2006. But in the summer retreat the senior pastor of Manmin Church Jaerock Lee came there and prayed for the sick. And I saw with my own eyes someone who was wearing glasses but then took them off. Their eyesight got back. There was also a person who couldn’t walk but he got up and walked. I got faith because of that experience. I had such poor eyesight but during the retreat in 2006 I could see the stars in the sky and they were very bright. I came to know that God is alive, He is our healer. At that time I had that kind of living faith. I was in sixth grade in 2006. At the moment I stepped into the sanctuary I was so confident that I would be healed that day. And can you describe the healing process itself? I was standing in the queue to receive prayer and there was one person before me and there was pastor Hee Sun Lee - she prayed so hard for the sick. I remember that I thought to myself, “Oh, she is praying so hard for the people, I have to be healed because of her prayer. I have to be healed!” I had confinect that I could be healed. At that moment she laid her hands on me and from my head to toes I could feel that something came out from my body. I didn’t care about my eyes at that moment when I received the prayer. I took care of those bad things inside of me. I felt that somebody was increasing and touching my heart. And after the prayer I just stepped forward, looked up and suddenly I could clearly see the word on a banner. After that I looked at people sitting on their chairs because I was in front and I could see the face of every single member – all of them. It was amazing! Before the prayer I could only see with my left eye, my right eye was almost blind. I knelt down there and prayed to God and thanked Him. I was in the middle school and I couldn’t prepare myself to be healed but I was praying to God, “Bless me to be a person who testifies Your glory and the things that You work.” So at that moment I thanked God because He answered my prayer. Did you go to the doctor after the healing to check your sight? Yes, I went to doctors. After one night my eyesight got better, I could see clearer, especially with my left eye. Gradually it became perfect. And no symptoms came back after the healing? No, not at all. You know my eyes were loosing the sight gradually since I was four. So I thought that if the power came back to me in just one night I thought I wouldn’t be able to accept and get used to it. Because for a long time I couldn’t see well but after one night I could see everything clearly. Like wearing glasses? Yes. It’s the same like you live without glasses for ten years but you would suddenly need to wear them. This is just opposite. And were the eye balls also healed? Yes, now they can stay focused. You know, for me it was not an easy situation to see everything clear. Sometimes during the athletic class, during the gym class I could sit down during the whole class because everything was clear, I could see everything. What about your parents? Were they Christians? Yes, they are believers. We attended Manmin church in Daejeon. They also believe in divine healing. And how did your classmates and friends react? My music teacher was a Christian and she asked me, why hadn’t I been wearing my glasses. She said she’d seen me wearing glasses all the time. And I said I had been healed by the power of God. And my music teacher believed in God so she recognized it. But all my friends would ask me, “How is it possible?” But they were all very happy for me because they knew I had always been wearing glasses and very thick ones. But at that day I wasn’t! They were so happy for me.
