The excerpts from Julia Kim’s Testimony
and Healing Prayer
on September 3, 2016
Praise the Lord! Praise the Blessed Mother!
Yes, we have welcomed September, the month of Korean martyrs today. What is the month of martyrs? We commemorate this month to imitate their lives and lead our life of martyrdom better. Have you thought of the life of martyrdom? I think you who are here(in Naju), are living the life of martyrdom.
In the age of persecution (in Korea), the martyrs were pleased to live the life of martyrdom even they knew that they would end to be headed or cut whole bodies by a saw shedding blood.
But how is the world today? You are persecuted and walking on eggshells for coming here, Naju, aren’t you? Yet you came here bravely.
How did the Apostle St. Simon die? He was sawed. How it not be painful when you are sawed. However, he sacrificed himself for the glory of the Lord and entered Heaven.
And I am so proud of Peter, Daechul Yoo. During the period of persecution, in 1893, many Korean Catholics died for their faith and Peter Yoo who was only 13 years old decided to live the life of martyrdom as well.
He turned himself in and was persecuted severly. He suffered a lot of pains being tortured but never surrendered.
His flesh was torn apart and bled but he graciously offered it up. 13 year-old boy. And he was hit and poked hard by a bamboo tube and his flesh was torn. “You still believe in God?” “Yes, of course.” Then executors were surprised and heated charcoal in the fire and asked him to open his mouth. “Ah-”, he opened it voluntarily.
However, people in the same prison said to him, “You suffered just a little pain.” But he was not surprised to hear it. He replied , “Yes, I know. I just suffered only as much as the pain of a grain of rice.” Shouldn’t we emulate imitate him?
We get distracted by trivial things and get angry at little things, then we do this and that for the reason of stress.
Smartphone addiction, sports addiction, and we download the movies and watch them pretending to follow the Lord and the Blessed Mother, and play games when it is time to pray. Would the Lord and the Blessed Mother want these things? Or not?
Let’s not do these things since we know that They don’t want us to. We should remember that if we sacrifice any further during that time, many souls will be saved and ourselves as well, and devious clergy will repent. (Amen!) However, we have so many bad habits such as deceiving.
Self-justification, as the Lord and the Blessed Mother have told us through their messages of love, we should be simple, like children. We should rush to the Lord and the Blessed Mother like children in the simple truth that even little things as light bird feathers could sink a ship if enough of them are gathered.
When you make mistakes, simply say “Oh, it was my fault. I will make a new start.”,
However, it is not easy. When I say to the volunteer helpers, “You haven’t put turning every moment of life into practice well.”, some say, “Thank you, thank you. It is Heaven because I learn from you staying by your side. Even I pull out all of my hair and make straw shoes with them for you, I could never return the favor.”
On the other hand, some reply contumaciously, “You just can’t let it go, not a thing.” I didn’t do like that! If so, I have to tell them all day long if I mean to mention one by one.
Because we have to practice to turn every moment of our lives into prayers all the time, I just tell them sometimes, but some of them would not accept it. See, heaven and hell are laid to us according to our thinking ways. The distance between heaven and hell seem to as far as the sky and the land, but they are might be very close.
Even though it is not your fault, if you admit it as your mistake instead of insisting and justifying, “Maybe I have misheard.”, you are in Heaven. (Amen!) But if you are filled with your ego, pride and contumely and don’t accept the words of the Lord and the Blessed Mother which they have implored us again and again with appearing and being with us over 30 years in Naju, it is to tear apart the Sacred Hearts of the Lord and the Blessed Mother.
I guess you don’t do that but even if you have done it so far, let’s start anew. (Amen!) When I see those things I suffer from pains in all of my body and even those people are far away and I don’t see them in person.
I really don’t like standing in front of people. I was of so few words since I was a kid because I have seen many people slander and judge others and I didn’t like it. “I will never do that.” So I didn’t talk at all. And the seniors of my family worried about me if I was going to be a speech-impaired person. I didn’t still talk much even after I got married because I didn’t want to talk about others.
People used to call me to join them saying, “You must have bad breath.” Then when I went out, they got together and slander their mothers-in-law and their husbands. I didn’t like to see it and would not join them. However, I became to talk much since my cancer was healed and I welcomed the Lord.
I kept talking even if I tried not to. Because I loved the Lord’s love so much. Since I experienced the love of the Lord’s Sacred Heart, I was crazy for it. Whenever I rode bus, I spread the love of the Lord to the people next to me and they accepted my words as a sponge soaks up water.
Whenever I prayed for others, they got healed. And they thanked me. Since then, I didn’t pray alone. Because I really hated to hear people thank me. Because it was the Lord Who healed them, not me. He used me as the instrument for a moment.
Whenever people get an important title they lord it over others. What does mean that you get an important title? It means that you become everyone’s servant. Jesus came to this world to serve not to be served and he was humble as he washed others’ feet.
We really should be humble. Because we are supposed to be used as the Lord’s instruments for a moment, but if you say “I healed them.”, as if you did it yourself, it is really hurting me.
Even my heart gets hurt as if it is stabbed, then how much would Jesus get hurt? I meditated on this and I decided to quit the volunteer work for Charismatic movement in 1980s. So I told the leader of the volunteers. “I would like to quit the volunteer work.” “Why? What’s wrong?” He didn’t want to let me go.
Jealousy and envy mean that we are controlled by the devils and Satan. If we are controlled by Satan where do we go? (To hell.) You know it? Well, I guess you won’t go to hell. Because you are not controlled by Satan. We should not be controlled by Satan. (Amen!)
We should defeat the devils of drowsiness. They make us doze off so that we miss the good words. We are often controlled by the devils in many cases. There are countless devils. Satan is one. How did he become Satan? You must know it well.
And if you know it well, you won’t feed Satan. Satan was the higher angle than St. Michael the Archangel. But he tried to higher than God. He went to hell for his pride. And He became the leader in hell. Don’t try to be the head on the earth. To live as the most ordinary person is good life. (Amen!)
That’s why I told the leader of the volunteers that I was going to quit the volunteer work. But he said, “Why? We need you. No, you can’t quit.”
-Telling and correcting others’ faults with love instead of speaking ill of them, is the path to growth.- Such things happened a lot through me and there were good outcomes. that was why he didn’t want to let me go.
One day, the leader said, “Maybe I have to let you go. I have seen a vision and you were riding on a white horse with waving the palm branches.” I think you are going to play a larger role. “But would you stay for a little longer?” And one day he said, “Julia, I think you really should go.”
He said , “I saw the big mountain where nobody was and there was a tree. And you were there alone. So I thought, “Why is she there alone? So scary.” People started to rush in a little while.
And a man dressed Julia a white gown which was like the angel’s robe. Then you went up the tree and spread the Lord’s Words and the mountain was filled with the countless people.” (Amen! Applauding.)
Then I said to him, “I will quit, sir! I have prepared a bountiful feast and shared foods with people so far, but from now on, I will do the dishes staying out of sight.”
Let’s be born newly today. (Amen!) So many people are going to hell now. It has nothing to do with how smart or intelligent or wise or rich you are. I mean, to enter Heaven, it doesn’t mean that ignorant people can enter Heaven either. It is important how much we are awake and get closer to the Lord and the Blessed Mother.
But people kill with each other because of money. No one knows of that day and hour. If we knew what time a thief will break into the night, we could defend our places well. Right?
It’s too late if we mend the barn after the horse is stolen. So we have to remain awake before that. No one knows when the Lord will come. We know neither the day nor the hour, nor the time when the Lord’s wrath will be descended.
It has become a world that surely deserves Lord’s punishment. But if we pray fervently remaining awake, the new Pentecost will be realized instead of the Lord’s punishment.
If we are not awake, it is hell. It could be purgatory as well. I mean, if we didn’t know God, it could be purgatory. But even if we know that The Lord is cries out again and again saying, “Sew up My torn Sacred Heart, at least you, who know me well.”, If we are not awake, we might commit more grave sins. Let’s not live committing sins any more. The Lord has chosen and called you in person.
The Lord has called countless souls to save. A lady received a lot of graces here in Naju. Her mother was dying and she called me to pray for her mother.
Although the First Saturday Prayer Meeting, I went there on Sunday. Her mother was almost dead and got stiff. I prayed for her mother and for nine brothers and sisters as well.
One of her sisters was born with polio. When she went to the toilet, she fell down and broke her bone. She was not able to walk at all. But when I left their place, she said with coming after me, “Oh, I am walking.”
When her mother was survived, they had the party of resurrection with the food which they had prepared for the funeral. There were a lot of people including nine couples. The neighbors also gathered and witnessed that her mother was alive.
She was restored to life and totally recovered. She received the last sacrament and was even rejected at the hospital but she was survived.
How does the Lord who loves even the wicked sinner not pour his love to His children if they repent ? Let’s repent of our sins, today and make a new start. (Amen!)
The Lord and the Blessed Mother have called us and nurture and bring us up and again and again, but if we don’t follow them and waste time, how could we enter Heaven? Let’s make a new start and go toward heaven. Let’s arm with turning every moment of our lives into prayers. Let’s arm with the Five Spiritualities of Naju.
Close your eyes, please. The world is totally decayed. The Lord almighty! Nothing is impossible for You, so please let the Blessed Mother of Naju get approval from the Church so that all of Your children in the world may be saved. Many clergy are excluding the Blessed Mother of Naju to the end. A number of Korean priests are in silence but many of them still believe the lies that the Kwangju Archdiocese has spread. The priests said that they could see the fruit by seeing whether I obey the Church or not. But they don’t even try to find out how I obey or couldn’t do. In addition, they even believed false rumors around me and still misunderstand that I don’t obey…
How could I deny what the Lord have done is not true as they ordered? They asked me to close the Blessed Mother’s Mountain and the chapel, and submit all the religious articles to Naju Parish Church. More serious thing is that they asked me to announce in front of people that the messages of the Lord and the Blessed Mother and all the signs and miracles were all fake and fabricated. How can I obey this? I can’t obey to the error.
If they persecute me as people did to Peter Daechul Yoo(Martyr), I will receive it willingly. But how could I say that the works of the Lord and the Blessed Mother were fake? How much hurting the Lord’s Sacred Heart is because the clergy lead herds of sheep to hell instead of heaven without trying to find out the truth?
One step, two step, every footprint that You left
Filled with scalding tears and blood
The wicked Jewish soldier
The vicious Roman soldier
Every footstep and footprint that was hit
The way you can’t go without shedding tears
The way you can’t go without shedding blood
The unexpected narrow path is way of Golgotha
Have to go through this way for eternal happiness
Should climb there
Even if we are hungry
Even if we are to die
No matter how hard the way of cross may be hard to go,
Why would I not follow the way the Lord went through
Peter, the head of the Apostles nailed on the cross upside down
We can follow even if it is hard
We can follow even if we are to die Amen.
