PART THREE: THREE YEARS OF MINISTRY TRAINING

Chapter 22: The Time Is Short

"The Time Is Short And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place."
(REVELATION 22:6 (EMPHASIS ADDED))

On August 11, 1999, after my bedtime prayer, a very special anointing came with the Lord's presence, and it turned out to be a beautiful heavenly song with wonderful words.

Then the Lord said, 'Choo Nam, I have a surprise for you.' The minute He said this, my vision-voice came, and I beheld the Lord's presence. He was wearing the golden gown and crown as He stood before me.

My body became much stronger, and a sense of amazing power came over me. The Lord directed me to stretch my hands toward Him, and as I did so my hands moved toward Him under His power. I saw He was holding a huge gold key. Then He said, 'I am giving you this gold key for your miracle work.'

When He put the key in my hand, my body jumped and shook. I was breathless as a result of the anointing, and I started crying. Then my hand closed. Both of my hands joined together and returned to my chest for a while. Next, my hands shook uncontrollably for several minutes.

The Lord changed into His regular gown and then told me that every one of His promises was being released. He said: 'The key I gave you was the last one. You are surprised by the world, and you are my very blessed child.'

Before bedtime, on December 8, 1999, after I had finished praying, the Lord began talking to me. He usually talks about my work and His plans for me, and how soon He'll start the work He has prepared me for; but tonight He was letting me know why He has to publish the book soon. He said, 'Heaven Is So Real will be the last chance for people to realize how soon I am coming for My people.'

He also said, 'If the disobedient people don't wake up, they will not hear the trumpet sound, and they will have to go through the tribulation.' He then went on to explain that He has been warning people through events related to school children, but that we have only feared Him for a short time before going back to our old ways.

He continued: 'I have been giving them many signs to bring prayer back into the schools, but people are not really trying to do it. I will never force anyone's mind. I can only give them signs so they will know what I want them to do.

'I have given enough warning for people to know what I want them to do for so long. I cannot wait forever for those who don't want to be ready for Me. I am coming for those who are ready for Me, and this will happen sooner then they expect.'

The Lord said I must put these words in the book.

INDESCRIBABLE JOY

On Christmas night of 1999, after my bedtime prayer, the Lord's presence was very real to me. After we talked for a while, suddenly a fiery anointing came over my entire body. This was followed by the vision-voice, and I saw the Lord standing before me in His Christmas gown and crown. He said, 'Sweetheart, I am happy to be celebrating My birthday with you.'

In the very instant when He said this, the heavenly songs came forth, and I began to dance before Him. This continued for at least thirty minutes. During this entire time I was dancing and singing. The anointing was so strong that all I could think about was that I wanted Him to take me home at that very moment. I was crying, but I also was smiling at my Lord, because the joy was indescribable.

THE LORD AWAITS THOSE READY FOR HIM

On New Year's night of 2000, I had exactly the same experience with the Lord that we had shared on Christmas 1999. It was a more awesome experience than the previous Christmases and New Years had been. Some of the things the Lord tells me, I cannot put in this book. I can say, however, that the Lord is very ready for those who are ready for Him.

On January 6, 2000, after my bedtime prayer, the Lord showed me a vision for our church, the Church for All Nations. This is the new name of Bethel Church. I received this vision during a Sunday service while I was doing miracle-work dancing. In the vision, the Lord was standing by the pulpit, raising His right hand. In response, the entire congregation fell to the floor.

AN ANOINTING OF POWER

It was January 8, 2000. On this night, before my bedtime prayer, the power of the anointing was so strong that I could hardly sit straight. My whole body became very weak, and my tongue was too weak to permit me to talk during the whole time I was praying. I simply couldn't make a sound, and my body wanted to lie down.

At the end of the prayer time, the Lord told me to get up at 5 a.m. on Sunday and to praise the Father first. He wanted me then to pray for all His promises, in tongues, and for my ministry, then to go to church before 9:30 and start to pray. He told me that I could go to church early, but not later than 9:30 a.m. He also told me not to allow myself to be interrupted by anyone.

'When you begin to pray, do not do anything on your own until you complete the dance,' He directed. 'You should know all the procedures about this dance.'

The minute I walked into the sanctuary on January 9, I felt as if I were on fire, and I began to cry before I started to pray. I gave praise to the Father, and as I began to pray, I saw the Lord's presence. He was dressed in His golden gown and crown, and He was standing on the pulpit, smiling at me.

He said simply, 'I am opening the door for your miracle-work ministry.'

I began dancing before the congregation. I danced only four times at the morning services in this church during the early days when I first began attending. As time went on, however, I began to dance at the evening service every Friday while they were having a revival at Bethel. I continued to do this until they moved to the new church, Church for All Nations. There, I didn't do the miracle dance for almost two months.

NO TIME TO WAIT

On January 13, 2000, after my morning prayer, the Lord began talking to me about my work and the book, Heaven Is So Real! He told me that there is no time to wait any longer. He explained that it was time for Him to begin the process of publishing it.

He also reminded me that He has given people every chance to come to know Him, and He has shown many signs to people in an effort to help them to realize He is God. He went on: 'But people do not fear Me, and many of those who know My words don't believe Me enough to live according to My commandments. But I will give them another chance through your book and many other signs.'

After He spoke these words, so strong a power came upon me that my eyes closed very tightly and a very loud voice came forth from my innermost being. It was so loud that it could be heard throughout the whole house, and this caused me to cry.

The Lord then showed me His vision for the earth very quickly. I saw many tall buildings falling throughout the whole world. After this, dark clouds, wind and lightning spread around the whole earth followed by rain, floods and tornadoes everywhere. After this, He said, 'Read Isaiah 64:3.' This prophetic passage talks about the mountains quaking at the Lord's presence.

Then the Lord said, 'I am warning my people one more time that I am coming for them sooner than they expect.' He went on to explain: 'Whoever is ready for Me will hear the trumpet sound, and those who are not ready for Me will go through the tribulation, and many of them will become Satan's. I have given enough chances for people to prepare for My coming, but they don't pay attention to My words. I will not wait for them forever. I am coming for those who are ready for Me.'

The Lord repeats many things. He wants so much for people to get ready for His coming.
