Excerpts from Julia's testimony on September 3, 2011

Praise be Jesus ! , Praise be the Blessed Mother !

we are entering upon the month of martyrs.

Today, the Precious blood of our Lord oozed out of the feet of Jesus on the Crucifix at the Mt. Calvary site and the Blessed Mother gave us fragrant oil and her milk for us.

The Priests and nuns both received fragrant oil on their heads. It was not only for us but also for all of you here present tonight.

I mentioned the passage from the Bible, Daniel chapter 14,

but I am going to say chapter 6 verses 4 to 28.

As you know, Daniel was very wise and did everything well and he was a truly reliable person who  became the chief prefect to rule over the whole province of Babylon.

Therefore, the supervisors and satraps tried to find grounds for accusation against Daniel  but they couldn’t find any faults and grounds for accusation. So they planned to incriminate him who was worshiping to God

They went in groups to the King and convinced the King to proclaim a prohibitory decree that anyone who pray to other Gods except to the King will be punished by casting them into the lion's den for 30 days. So, the King agreed and signed the decree and made it law.

Daniel knew what the King had done but just continued his custom of praising God and praying. Then, they immediately informed the King. The King as a matter of fact, loved Daniel and sought in every way to save him but it was too late because of the decree which the  King signed.  As he cannot rescue him, the king ordered to put Daniel into the lion's den all the while thinking and saying to Daniel " I believe that the God whom you always worship will surely save you." The next day, the King hastened to the lion's den

He cried out to Daniel sorrowfully, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has the God whom you serve so constantly been able to save you from the lions?"

Daniel answered the king "O king, live forever!

My God has sent his angel and closed the lions' mouths so that they have not hurt me

Daniel replied , "Oh King, since  I am innocent before God and have done no harm to you, O King,  I survived because my God has sent His angel to close the lion's mouth."

The king ordered Daniel be removed out of the lion's den and ordered that all of those who incriminated Daniel including their families be cast into the lion's den.  Before they reached the bottom of the den, the loins chewed them all to pieces crushing their bones and swallowed them up.

Then King Darius wrote to the nations and peoples of every language, wherever they dwell on the earth "All peace to you!

The King issued decree that throughout my royal domain the God of Daniel is to be reverenced and feared "For he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be without end.

And this is according to the Bible Matthew Chapter 5 verse 10 to 12

“Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Prophets persecuted but gained the kingdom of heaven.

We went to Jinju together with Aloysius Chang and some volunteers in 1993. We saw that one of the cars was rushing towards us when we were going to cross the Crosscut at that time. Then I ran to the side of the road and the car almost hit me on the sidewalk. I barely escaped being hit by jumping up in the air.  How could I have flown so high up in the air ?

The car crashed into another car which has was parked there and it was broken into pieces. The plate number got removed and the driver drove away.

The devil tried to interfere to what I am supposed to do for God in any way he could but God saved me at that time. It was not an ancient story that Daniel was saved from the lion's den, for we can feel God's care every moment when we have experienced a similar situation .

This happened when we were on our way back from the retreat in Suwon in 2006.The devil induced a traffic accident because he was angry at so many healing graces which occurred - many sick souls and bodies were healed, broken families were reconciled by the prayers through this retreat.

One of the volunteers was driving at a speed of 180 km.  The car was driving in a zigzag way and about to turn over. Then Jesus and the Blessed Mother straightened the car to run normally. Otherwise, if it turned over, we would have been all burnt and died in a fiery crash. Likewise, we shall be saved without any fail when we work for Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

It would be a big loss if you turn away from the Lord's work by listening to the false testimonies, TV Show(PD‘s note) and the declaration.  Despite this, you have already received innumerable graces. On the other hand, the most blessed are all of you who are praying in the love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother by arming yourselves with the 5 ways of spiritualities while offering up all kinds of persecutions that you've suffered.

I know a pilgrim who is now present here tonight.

Her name is Cecilia Lim. She heard about Naju in 1991 and she really wanted to come to Naju to join the Vigil but she couldn't make it because she was confronted by opposition from her children and daughter-in-law.

She was 64 year-old at that time and she suffered from neuralgia in her spine and other chronic diseases. So she was taking all kinds of medication. There were no hospitals that she had not been to but all were in vain. So she completely relied on the Blessed Mother of Naju.

Her waist was bent, but in spite of that, she did the Stations of the Cross,

specially it was the season of Lent. Unfortunately, she couldn't continue to pray anymore when she reached the 40th day.

Suddenly however, she made up her mind and resolved, " I will pray even if I'd die ." Then she continued to pray until Easter and her bent waist was straightened and also  she was healed of empyema just after she received the light of the Holy Spirit.

I hope you also receive the light of the Holy Spirit. (Pilgrims responded with Amen !)

The Archbishop Yoon, Gong-Hee said to me and to Father Chang, " I will believe all in Naju when I see the fruits. " but he issued the Declaration even when the fruits of Naju were in full bearing.

I know one volunteer who makes me so happy just by seeing her. She is Juliana Lee, Yang-Im who was healed of colon cancer 10 years ago. Her story goes like this:

Her life was thoroughly contaminated by the secular lifestyle. She was very liberal and she loved to wear big earrings and dyed her hair blond. Her husband abandoned her and their three children. He took 300,000 USD and then ran away. It was the worst moment of her life having to face lots of debts, take care of her 3 children and then being diagnosed with colon cancer. She really wanted to die but she had to survive because of her children.

She had to take a medicine for pain caused by the cancer and she was at death's door.  She came to Naju and started praying and praying before the Blessed Mother's Statue and  repenting and accepting the spirituality  of " It is my fault ."  At the same time, the Sisters came to pray in the chapel and they smelled rose fragrance and told her, " there's a strong scent of roses coming out of you ! " She fully accepted it and said, “ Oh, It is now healing me ! “ and said, "Amen" as she looked back at them.

Thereafter, she was able to forgive her husband. Instead of harboring resentment, she accepted him and the truth that  it was ao her fault that he left her. She went up to the hospital for the surgery and the result astounded her as her 3 tumors completely disappeared. All the doctors were so surprised and many examinations were made- over 5 times every month without any abnormal findings .

She said that she may have gone through the way of perdition if she continued to hate her husband and lived with tears everyday if she did not meet the Blessed Mother of Naju.  She squandered her life and never worked hard so it was not easy for her to reimburse debts of 300,000 USD.

However, The Lord turned the impossible into possible and as a result, she completely reformed herself  through  the grace of the Blessed Mother of Naju. She repaid her big debt, supported the university education of her 3 children and also took care of her mother in law (Shi Emoni in Korean). How can we not say that this is a huge fruit of love?

As you know, if we hate our husbands, we hate to look even at the column of our in-law’s house ( Shi Daek in Korean) and  we don't even eat spinach (Shi Geum Chi in Korean) and we hate even to say, hear, look and even eat anything beginning with Shi - the initial letter in connection with Shi Daek ( In-law-house),Shi Emoni (Mother-in-law) and even Shi Geumchi(Spinach).

Since she was healed of cancer in 1988 , she works 5 days in the office and joins the every Thursday  prayer and on Friday evenings, she comes to the Blessed Mother's House. She also reserves 2 days( Saturday & Sunday) for the Blessed Mother of Naju. She sometimes charmingly moves her body and says  “ It's too good ! too happy", amusing everyone because her life is so full of joy.

Yes it is good. She is smile itself, not hating anyone, living with happiness by practicing the Spirituality of SemchinGo, offering everything up by turning her daily life into prayer. Arming herself with the 5 ways of Spiritualities of Naju, she accepts and says, "It is my fault" and "Amen" to whatever she faces.

Today also, she was so happy to help me as usual and said to Sister," Sister ! I always experience the miracle like this. I am always so happy!" Now, have you ever thought about her as someone with depression before she came to know the Blessed Mother of Naju ?  Knowing the Blessed Mother of Naju, she was able to turn the bad things into joy and never hates anyone even her beloved husband who wounded her. How can she love her husband ? It is because if he did not ran away like that and not wounded her, how  could she have met the Blessed Mother of Naju ? That's why she is very happy.

If we live by arming ourselves with the 5 ways of Naju Spirituality, we will gain victory against the devil who fills the  sky and earth and likewise  enjoy   love , peace and joy every moment of the day. Dear fellow pilgrims, your intentions shall be realized if you listen to my words and these stories and if you believe it and respond to it with Amen. Also, whether you are encountering healing or suffering, accept it as your fault and as  coming from the will of the Lord and live with the spirituality of SemChiGo. Also our intentions shall be realized if we make the effort to live according to the will of Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

A German priest gave me water when I was coughing and at that moment, wounds were being healed. ( The pilgrims responded with Amen !)

It occurred before the Declaration. I collapsed and was coughing extremely in the middle of giving the testimony.

Then I said, “ Now lung cancer patients are experiencing healing. "

The next month, one sister came to me and crying she told me that she has one younger sister who was a lung cancer patient and was hospitalized in Jeonnam University hospital and was discharged from there to prepare for her death. But on their way home,

she decided they stop by the Blessed Mother's House .

So she left her sister's oxygen-tank near the door and they just sat and prayed right there.

Then, Julia who was coughing passed by us said " Now, a lung cancer patient will be healed. " Then my sister was completely healed on the spot.

In 1990, one couple who worked in Japan came to Naju to join the vigil. During the time of the meeting, I put my hand on his chest while coughing and said," Dear brother ! you have deep wounds.  Now we pray for healing and even your waist area would be healed." I added. He responded with Amen. His wounds were healed and also his waist area where he suffered disc injury for 15 years and could not bend completely. It was healed on the spot.

All of you also now respond with Amen and you will also be healed.

( All the pilgrims responded with Amen)

Our opponents kept on saying that the volunteers in Naju will leave soon, but we have many long-time volunteers.

Commentator Peter Kim came here in 1995.  His blood pressure was so high that even the insurance company rejected him. Then I touched his neck and prayed and the Lord healed his high blood pressure (183/135) completely. This was 7 years ago, and the numerical values has been normal since that time. The Lord is keeping and caring for him because he offered himself to work for the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

All these healings mentioned above are not from me, but they were made possible by the Lord who used me only as an instrument from time to time.

Today also Jesus and the Blessed Mother, all the Saints and Martyrs and Angels are praying for us and accompanying us. Also they will bestow abundant graces upon us who have responded with Amen and accepted everything as our faults. We have suffered many difficulties such as sorrows , hardship, agony and complications .It becomes complicated once in a while even if we follow the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

Sometimes, heartbreaks are due to the fact that we just cannot forgive others even when we try hard to forgive others. .But now please bring all those whom you cannot forgive at the foot of the Cross of Jesus.

It is not easy to forgive others in our human ways. Bring all those whom you have hated, been angry at and have not forgiven and let us come closer to Jesus to be  healed by Jesus and the Blessed Mother  and let us  acknowledge our lack of love.

It is difficult for us to practice the 5 ways of Spirituality due to the fact that we have not surrendered ourselves and have not practiced self-denial.  Let us remove all of these and start anew from now on. If you still have hatred, have not forgiven others, do not worry about it. We will never be disappointed and frustrated as long as we remember the spirit of faith of Maria Magdalene. Furthermore, there shouldn't be a state of dejection in us.

Once again ,let us make a new start by remembering that we may gain more grace according to the merit of repentance corresponding to  our faults and mistakes. We cannot understand others because we think only of ourselves. Everything that we are is self-centered.  We can overcome all these situations if we put ourselves in other people's shoes.

Judas couldn't attain heaven because he betrayed the Lord and did not repent. Peter who also betrayed the Lord claimed, "I do not know Him, even if I would get Divine retribution, I do not know him."  Then, he denied Jesus three times. However, he repented after he heard the rooster crow and so he gained heaven. He thereafter made the truth of the Lord known and testified about the Lord to the whole world.

No matter what hardships we face and how much sorrow and suffering we bear, let us make new start from now on.

The devil who fills the sky and earth will run away if you live the life of resurrection filled with joy, love and peace.

Amen.
