Excerpts from Mrs. Julia Kim's Testimony
on the 1st Saturday of March, 2014

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven

 
Julia Kim giving her testimony on the 1^st Sat of March, 2014

Praise Jesus! Praise the Blessed Mother!

Jesus will send down unlimited blessings on this prayer meeting on the 1st Saturday of March, because the Blessed Mother has been wailing and crying alone since she was left alone after losing her Son Jesus but now has you who will cry with her.

Because of the extreme pains that I suffer now, I do not know what to say and how to say.  It is too difficult.  If I speak well, that is because Jesus and the Blessed Mother helped me; if I do not speak well, that is because of my fault.

Here is a story that I really want to share with you today. As I already said at the Blessed Mother’s House, a fly cannot go through the eye of a needle.  Even a mosquito cannot go through it. The mouth of a mosquito may go through the eye of a needle, but can we enter Heaven when our mouths only enter Heaven?  The answer is that we must be crushed and crushed again to become littler souls.  What should we do to become littler?

Yes, you are right! We have to become humble. However, this is easy to say but not easy to put it into practice, is it? Thus, we can go through the eye of a needle not by spreading the messages only but by studying the messages thoroughly and putting them into practice and, thereby, by becoming littler and littler.  Otherwise, we will never go to Heaven directly.

God chose and elevated Moses, who had given up his royal power, as the leader of the Israelites. When Moses delivered his people from the slavery in Egypt and was crossing the desert on the way to Canaan, the people had no water to drink and complained to Moses: “Why did you ever make us leave Egypt?  Was it just to have us die here of thirst with our children and our livestock?”  Seeing this, God told Moses what to do.   

According to what God told them, Moses and Aaron gathered the Israelites and struck the rock twice with their staff, and the water flowed from it and even all the livestock drank it.  I have talked about Moses many times. He was truly a great man. Then, why could Moses not enter Canaan, the land of flowing milk and honey? This is a very important question. I have told you many stories to discuss this question and its answer. “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.” This is the very subject that I intend to tell you. Please, listen carefully.

Moses should have said to the Israelites: “God promised to give us water if I strike this rock. When water flows out, let’s give glory to Him.”  Instead, Moses said, “Listen to me, you rebels!  Are we to bring water for you out of this rock?” Accordingly, God became angry and said to Moses, “You were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites.” If we did something good, we must reveal God’s glory by saying: “It was not I who did it, but God performed a miracle of love by using me, despite my unworthiness, as an instrument.  Moses could have entered into Canaan alive if he did this.

Before he arrived at Canaan, Moses sent twelve men who were chosen from each of the 12 tribes ahead to reconnoiter the land. Ten of them reported back that “People of Canaan are giants. They are so strong that we can’t defeat them.” They also spread a rumor that Canaan was an unfit place to live. However, Joshua and Caleb insisted to attack Canaan saying, “We can do it!” God allowed only these two men to enter the land of Canaan.

God only allowed Moses and Aaron a glance of the land of abundant milk and honey and said, “Because you were not faithful to me in showing forth my sanctity before the Israelites, you shall not lead this community into the land I will give them.”

Everyone! We must always be awake and put the words, which Our Lord and the Blessed Mother gave us, into practice exactly as given to us.

A world of difference between offering up and being patient

The Messages of Love from the Blessed Mother in Naju is very easy to understand even though they contain profound meanings and sometimes are expressed in difficult Chinese characters.  If she only said, “Pray; do reparations, and repent your sins”, we could not be sure what penance is; what repentance is; and what sacrifice is, but the Blessed Mother of Naju explained to us what sacrifice and penance are and what The Five Spiritualities are in easy words and thus let us know the shortcut to Heaven.

On March 1, 2008, when we went to Mt. Calvary on the Blessed Mother’s Mountain praying the rosary, a bright light suddenly flashed from the sky on Our Lord’s Crucifix.  At that moment, Jesus on the Crucifix became alive and gave us a blessing and said: “Worries bound by religious precepts are only a waste of time.”

We must not be bound by the religious precepts only. Moses established precepts based on justice, but Jesus taught the new precept which requires us to love even our enemies.

Let us love each other. However, even sinners and murderers can love someone who loves them. True love means to love someone who does not love me. That is why love is sweet but also bitter as gall.  Why is love bitter? It is bitter because, we have to cover up even a tremendous falsehood not with a justice but with love, embrace everything, and understand everything.

Can you imagine that if a husband who is having an affair comes home, you might say “Honey, I cannot imagine how hard it will be that you take care of two women since taking care of one is hard enough. Lay down please. I would like to give you a massage.” and “let us get you a pack of restorative herb medicine prescribed tomorrow since you have lost your energy.” How does someone say something like this without shedding tears.

Is there any wife who likes her husband being unfaithful and is there any husband who likes his wife being unfaithful?  Nevertheless, this is because of love, and it takes a lot of tears and pains until an echo of love comes back, which always does. That is why being patient and graciously offering up your bleeding pains are totally different.  

If the wife cooks a meal filled with anger toward her husband saying “Uh~. I cannot divorce him because of the children.  How did I meet him who has become an enemy to me”, the meal will be filled with the poison of anger.  Will it be well digested when her husband eats it? This is an example of enduring and being patient only instead of offering up.

It will be difficult to go to Heaven, unless we become little souls.

If you graciously offer up your pains, saying and praying, “My heart is hurting a lot, but it is nothing compared to what Jesus suffered. My husband will eventually read my mind and come back to me. Blessed Mother! Let this meal of vegetables be filled with love so that he may eat it and free himself from his immoral, obscene sins as soon as possible under your lead and guidance.” Then, he will eat the meal of love and surely return to you.  Husbands must also be nice and loving to their wives in the same way.  

Jesus let us know that there is nothing that He cannot give to us saying: “Will God not much better clothe you who are working to help my little soul for Me and My Mother?”  Even Solomon, who enjoyed all kinds of prosperity, did not receive these immeasurably valuable graces that you have received and still are receiving here. Therefore, do not think or say: “What kind of power does my prayer have? It will be okay if I skip one prayer meeting.”

Jesus and the Blessed Mother said that it would be necessary for us to look back at the history, because the current world has become as corrupt as it can be corrupt, worse than at the times of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Deluge of Noah, and the Tower of Babel. We have to look back at the history, learn lessons, and live straight.   It will be difficult to go to Heaven, unless we are crushed and crushed again and become littler.  When someone tramples down on you, say “Thank you so much,” instead of getting angry.

When I went to Rome, I was suffering from severe pains. One foreign man accidentally stepped on my foot.  I said to him “Thank you for stepping on my foot. Thank you,” and he shook his head from side to side as if he was confused and left.  I could have spoken to him with anger, but would it have improved the situation? There is no need to speak ill to others, as it will be a sin.

Glo~ry, Glo~ry!  Glory to Our Lord!

Some time ago, when we were riding our car on the narrow alley close to the Blessed Mother’s House, a van carrying several women suddenly appeared from a side alley. Our car almost fell into the stream to avoid the van. I said to the driver of the van “I am sorry” Then, he shouted: “Drive better!”  I said again: “I am sorry.” Hearing this, Andrew, who was driving our car, wanted to say something to the other driver.  So, I said to Andrew: “Glory~ Glory~ Glory to Our Lord!” Then he understood and offered up by saying “Alright, Ok.”  Even though it was not our fault, we prayed for the other driver: “We praise and give glory to You Jesus, please bless those who were in the van.”

One day, while I was preparing some things to give to a man, he deliberately pushed me with his van and ran over my foot with the same van. I passed out. When I woke up in the hospital and took an x-ray, the doctor said my toes were broken.  He said that I needed a surgery at a larger hospital.  I prayed for the repentance and spiritual healing of the man who hit me with his van.  I found him and asked him to forgive me for having been present at that location and reconciled with him.  Then, I went to the hospital and was told by the doctor that I was completely healed and in normal condition.

When we accept a problem as “my fault” instead of “your fault”, Our Lord will turn evil into good so that we may never be seething with anger.  

Many people do not know about Heaven well. They think that they can go to Heaven if they attend Mass regularly and pray hard even if they live in sin. There are some other persons who offer prayer after prayer even without eating. We must practice love in order to go to Heaven. However, it is not a practice of love if we neglect our duties at home and busily devote most of our time to doing the volunteer work.  

One of my landlords was a deacon at a Protestant church. From the moment she woke up in the morning, she asked her 85 year-old mother to take care of her nine children and went out to do missionary work. The old lady had to do all of the household work. Despite of my help (changing briquettes), how can an old lady do all of the house work by herself? I was confused when the deacon invited me to join her mission work.  She was misunderstanding by thinking that everyone whom she had helped liked her.

Of course, they will like her. Who will not like a person who helps them? However, it is not what God wants us to do, if there are maggots crawling over in our house. The Lord and the Blessed Mother ask us to take good care of our own family, saying, “Who are your closest neighbors? They are your family.” If we want to do charity work, we must first do our duties even if that means less sleep.

We can do anything if we entrust everything to Our Lord!

 There is a way of praying that enables us to offer up prayers from the moment we wake up until the moment we go to bed, not neglecting the work that we have to do. Do you know what this way is? (Audience: “Turning our daily lives into prayers!”) What matters to many people is how long they will remain in purgatory? However, for us, what matters most is how to go straight to Heaven. If we always meditate: “Will this give joy to the Lord?” and “What would the Blessed Mother do in this situation?” we can easily overcome everything in our lives.

We can do anything, if we entrust everything to the Lord and the Blessed Mother like Joshua and Caleb, who insisted to attack Canaan out of complete trust and faith in God, entered Canaan. Therefore, Let us cry out loudly.

“We can do! We can do! We can really do it! Amen!”  Let us all go all the way to the end where God the Father is. However, to reach the Kingdom of God, we must always be crushed and trampled and thus, become littler, littler, and littler.  Even when we are unjustly criticized and blamed, let us pray: “Lord, send down blessing on those persons.”  Even if it is difficult to practice this, Lord will be happy to see us make efforts.  Never say, “I cannot do it.  It is impossible,” but say, “Even though I have not been able to do it in the past, I can now do it.”

Now, let’s close our eyes and put our hands on your chest; offer up everything that has been hurting and bothering us, pains and sufferings, troubles and difficulties, completely to the Lord and the Blessed Mother with our voice. The Lord and the Blessed Mother will help us through Their invisible presence and rebuild the place which has been destroyed by Satan, with help from us.

The Blessed Mother’s Immaculate Heart will surely triumph, and, on the last day, we will inherit the Tree of Eternal Life, which Adam and Eve had lost, receive and wear the royal crown escorted by the angels, and enjoy eternal happiness at the side of the Lord and the Blessed Mother. Amen!
