Quote# 129630

This desire to be independent from God leads to the belief in "rights", whether it be for oneself, or others whom one is concerned about. The belief in the "rights" for others is not agape love at all whatsoever, the love that God demands of us. No. It is respect for persons. The belief in "rights" for others is to justify the arrogance of others, so that one can justify one's arrogance and pride in even thinking one is entitled to anything at all. That even many Bible-believing Christians find this hard to accept simply just indicates how humanism has infiltrated the church.

Stop telling folks they can deliver themselves from demons! There's NO such precedent anywhere in scripture - and I challenge you to prove me wrong.

There are some demons that will only be cast out through the aid and assistance of those who operate at a higher level of anointing than the average Christian who only operates with a personal anointing to walk out their Christian salvation with in this life.

Christ has set ministry gifts in the Church; what we term the five-fold ministry of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher.

"And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for works of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ." Ephesians 4:11-13

Notice it says He (Jesus) only gave SOME to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers? That means some - not all - believers will operate at higher levels of anointing for greater levels of service.

Though any Christian can cast out demons, the evangelist and apostle in particular have 'extra gifting' to deal with demonic spirits. This is seen in the life of Phillip in Acts 8 and Paul in Acts 19.

We must be careful in our zeal for Christ and in this current anti-preacher environment that we live in to not try to go beyond the bounds of scripture, assuming we can override the set order of things established by Christ in His own church.

Let the ministry gifts of Christ help you, instead of thinking you can be super-Christian and do things on your own. That's how satan ends up destroying the minds and bodies of many believers: you step out of divine order and go beyond divine protocol, and find yourself stepping beyond God's grace and into the waiting jaws of the devil.

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8

It's not feasible for me - nor would it be possible - to go around casting demons out of everyone on social media who comes to my page. So God has equipped me with talents and skills as a writer so that I could maximize my presence through articles, posts and most importantly through my ebooks.

This is my gift and contribution to the Body of Christ, operating in my anointing. Everyone can't do what I do: and I can't do what many of you do. That's what makes us all needed and relevant to one another.

So enjoy my gift: God gave it to me for you! And be sure to share yours as well. Just be sure to remain in your lane as I will stay in mine.

And get my ebooks! The anointing that's personally on my life is shared in those ebooks, which can and will get you free from the evil spirits plaguing and seeking to ruin your life.

There is much healing God wants to do in your life and body. And I can help you tremendously if you'll let me. God bless.

Quote# 129627

As a result of marriage and sex being separated from each other, and each being perverted, the "need" for 'consent' was needed to protect sexual integrity of persons. The whole "need" for 'consent' is itself a manifestation of sexual immorality, and the perversion of marriage and sex, in particular, the rejection of proper God-given sexual boundaries.

So, it is because of all the perverse 'sexual freedom' in modern western society, which provided the justification for the concept of 'sexual harassment'. It is a concept which is at its heart, based on the idea that the rightness or wrongness is sexual intercourse between persons is determined by whether it is 'wanted' or 'unwanted'. This is totally against the Biblical sexual ethic, which is that the rightness of sexual intercourse is determined by whether it is within marriage, to given generously and lovingly by husband and wife to each other.

Thus, the whole concept of whether sex is wanted or unwanted is sinful in itself. The whole movement behind 'sexual harassment' is really a political agenda seeking to push for "bodily autonomy", in particular, "women's bodily autonomy".

Such a case before any court would have been unheard of in 17th-century Colonial America whose governments of, by, and for God were established upon Yahweh's immutable/unchanging moral law, including Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13.

Consequently, there must be a definitive moment in America's history when America's Christian character and biblical course were formally altered. That point was in 1787 when the constitutional framers replaced the 17th-century Colonial governments for their own humanistic government of, by, and for the people based upon capricious man-made Enlightenment and Masonic traditions.

Had the 18th-century founders done as the 17th-century Christian founders did, there would be no homosexual agenda in America period because no sodomite or lesbian would dare risk exposing themselves to petition government for their "rights."

The owner of a Pennsylvania bridal shop recently claimed that her faith precluded her from selling a dress to a same-sex couple.

Shannon Kennedy and Julie Ann Samanas said the incident happened July 8 at W.W. Bridal Boutique in Bloomsburg, about two-and-a-half hours north of Philadelphia. The West Pittston couple visited the shop in search of a dress for Samanas for the couple’s March 2018 wedding.

“We filled out the form that said ‘Bride’s name,’ ‘Budget’ and then where it said ‘Groom,’ we crossed it out and wrote ‘Bride’ and put Shannon’s name down,” Samanas explained.

The couple, who were accompanied by Samanas’ sister, handed one of the two women who was working the form and, after reviewing it, she inquired if the dress was for a same-sex wedding.

“She said, ‘I don’t know if you’ve heard, but we’re Christian and we don’t believe in that; our faith doesn’t let us believe in that,’” Kennedy recalled.

The women said they didn’t challenge the staff member and exited.
“I think we were kind of in shock,” Kennedy said. “We all looked at each other and went, ‘Oo-k’ and walked out. It was unexpected. Afterwards, you think of everything you should have said.”

W.W. Bridal Boutique did not respond to a request for comment.

The women posted about the incident on Facebook and tagged the store. In a July 11 post that has since been deleted, the store posted: ”The owners of W.W. Bridal Boutique reserve the rights afforded to them by the First Amendment of the Constitution to live out our lives according to our faith. ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.’ We will continue to serve our customers based on the tenets of our faith.”

Kenney and Samanas said they believe the operators of the store’s Facebook page have blocked them both.

They said they have received a wealth of support on social media.

“I grew up about 20 minutes from there and I think about 90 percent of the people who commented were straight people I went to high school with, which is awesome,” Kennedy said. “We had about 300 shares of our post, and I think we only saw two negative things.”

W.W. Bridal was embroiled in a similar situation in 2014, after the store owners, identified then as Victoria Miller and Jeremy Stabler, allegedly declined to schedule an appointment for a lesbian couple. Kennedy and Samanas said they recalled hearing about that incident but didn’t realize it was the same shop.

Pennsylvania continues to lack a statewide LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination law; more than 40 municipalities have adopted their own nondiscrimination measures, though Bloomsburg is not among them. After the 2014 incident at W.W. Bridal, members of the Bloomsburg Town Council proposed asking the town solicitor to draft an LGBT nondiscrimination ordinance, but after a community meeting that drew both support and opposition, voted 4-3 against moving forward with such a measure. The council did send a letter to the state legislature urging it to adopt statewide LGBT protections.

Bloomsburg Mayor Sandy Davis did not respond to PGN’s request for comment.

Quoting from an article entitled "Why Is The Left So Anti-Baby?"

"What about the Buddha? Here was a handsome prince that dumped his wife and kids and took up the contemplative life. Pretty soon there were Buddhist temples that were as big as cities where rich young men from all over could go and meditate"


Clearly the same thing has happened with the Priests and Pope. They gather together and then wind up homosexual. I guess they figure they can have sex, and no kids will pop out.

This just doesn't work well for society or religion.

Clearly many men have gotten tired of the way women behave now. The women are now abusing the men. They hit them and don't expect to be hit back. They cheat on the men and destroy them. Some of the women have turned to feminism and lesbianism and try to tell society that we don't need men anymore. No wonder we have so many homosexuals now. No wonder the men don't feel needed anymore.

Men have decided they don't want the extra burden of families now because kids are so expensive, wives are expensive, the women give the men no attention after the kids come.....then the KIDS rebel and turn on their fathers AND the mothers. They are unappreciative of what the parents did for them in life.

Why should the men waste their lives on women, and children when things are turning out so badly now.

Many women are feeling the same way. That is why there are so many abortions now. Women think they can jump into bed with all these men and hope that men will respect them for that.

It just doesn't work that way....for men or women.

Lady Checkmate's headline: "PSA: To the brethren"

You all are aware that our mission is to be light in this dark place, share the gospel of Jesus Christ boldy and to encourage the brethren. I just wanted to let you all know that I temporarily close OPs because F&R's stalker (atheist, reprobates, etc.) uses multiple sock accounts to mass-down vote comments from Christians, but they can't down vote comments on closed threads.

I'm OK with being down voted (persecuted, etc.), as long as we can get the gospel truth out. Unfortunately, down votes can cause an OP/channel to be ranked low (which is still irrelevant as long as we get the gospel out to the lost). But, a low ranking may limit the exposure a channel/thread receives. We can counter this attack by recommending and up voting Christian comments here.

The troll's MO is to literally, out of anger and insanity that they can't stop the gospel of Jesus Christ from going forth here use multiple sock accounts to mass down vote comments from Christians immediately one after the other indicating it's the same person using multiple accounts. Again, this is also evidence that our stalker is a channel owner and has knowledge of the inner workings of the platform. I know who it is, but that doesn't matter as they too need Jesus Christ.

What does matter is that the stalker is so hateful and demonized that they have decided that since they can't stop us from sharing truth (troll us w/petty insults, attacks, etc. until we stop believing and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ), they'll try to down vote us and attack individual users and try to limit the exposure of the gospel to the lost. We are not our won and the life that we live we live in Christ. They still don't understand...again the carnal man cannot undestand spiritual matters.

Presently, the usernames of those who up vote are visible, but those who down vote are not. No worries, because when Disqus starts showing the users doing the down voting (they now show those who flag), I'll handle them individually. For now, we ask that ALL believers and visitors please RECOMMEND ALL DISCUSSION threads and UP VOTE ALL Christian comments. Our goal is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and Truth with others and to fellowship with other believers and encourage each other in Christ. The enemy hates that and is using those submitted to him and wickedness to try and counter what God is doing here. We know we always triumph in all things in Christ. Be in agreement with us for God's will to be done and for Him to magnified and glorified in ALL that we do in Jesus name.

Thank you to the individual whose wise words and encouragement (confirming what God put in my heart to do) has led me to post this here. I don't want to embarrass anyone, so I won't mention names without permission.

Don't forget to RECOMMEND. Lets get the Truth out so that Light may shine bright in this dark place and Jesus Christ may be glorified.Even if the discussion is closed, please still RECOMMEND.

Lady Checkmate's headline: "California Proposes Jail Time for Using the Wrong Pronoun for Transgenders"

Here it is in plain English. Sodomites never wanted equality, they already had equality. They have always wanted to dominate and control what others say, believe and live. I'm not surprised that Ontario and California (Sodom and Gomorrah) are leading the charge. But, there is a remnant that stands against them in Jesus name. Apostates seek Jesus Christ and return to righteousness.

Come quick Lord.

Something that is being shared a lot and commented on is a report from the south Korean puppet Bank of Korea about the DPRK economy . The headline in Reuters says "North Korea 2016 economic growth at 17-year high despite sanctions: South Korea". This news is being carried by all sorts of news outlets . We are not going to share items from outlets like the Daily Mail on the UK KFA page.

In fact the 3.9 per cent figure for economic growth is actually a gross underestimate. The real figure is much higher than that , probably several times that. The DPRK media have reported increases in industrial output value for several industries as being 20 per or 30 per cent year on increases .
What they are not telling people is even the grudging 3.9 per cent figure is higher than the 2.7 per cent growth claimed for the south Korean puppet economy , abour 40 per cent higher .

It is worth pointing that the DPRK has enjoyed 17 years of straight economic growth and was unaffected by the 2008 crisis of the capitalist countries.
The various media commentators on this article do correctly point out that the DPRK's economic growth has been achieved despite sanctions. However they do not go deep enough in their analysis.

Not only is the DPRK's economic growth higher than that of south Korea but most importantly it is self-reliant economic growth, the basic engine for the DPRK's growth is the Juche-based independent national economy, whereas as south Korea's "growth " is based entirely on foreign capital and loans .
Finally, in the DPRK economic growth is used entirely for the people's, it goes to increasing wages, building new housing , schools and hospital whereas in south Korea and other capitalist countries any money from increased economic growth goes into the pockets of the capitalists

Congressman Don Beyer says he put a rainbow flag outside his office on Capitol Hill a few months ago, shortly after he learned that a visitor to the Capitol had ripped down and stomped on a rainbow flag hanging outside Congressman Alan Lowenthal's (D-CA) office.

The flag, which represents LGBT pride, has "a really good, simple, positive message," the Virginia representative says. "We had at least one openly gay person working in the office and I thought it was really important for him to feel like it was a welcoming place."

"Many people mention [the flag] when they visit, all in a positive way," Beyer says.
But this week, Beyer learned about a lawsuit filed against him, Lowenthal. and two other representatives in federal court, calling for them to take down the flags, which plaintiff Chris Sevier calls unconstitutional.
Sevier claims the rainbow flag is a religious symbol of the "homosexual denomination within the overall church of 'western expressive individualism postmodern moral relativism,'" and that it "promotes obscenity and sexual exploitation."
In addition to seeking a judge to tell Beyer, Lowenthal, Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), and Susan Davis (D-CA) to take down the rainbow flags outside their office (hanging them inside would be fine, the suit says, and "the American flag can remain"), he also wants the judge to declare that homosexuality is a religion.

Although science has been stagnating since Harvard got the upper hand over the Royal Society, technology that makes money continues to advance. We have a problem with new blue sky technologies. No one in the west is developing new technologies any more, just polishing up existing profitable technologies. We are not getting any replacement for chip patterning usin one hundred and ninety three nanometer excimer laser lithography, just ever more minute improvements in excimer laser lithography, with the result that Moore’s law has run out of puff. People keep talking about ten nanometer, but it is just not going anywhere. They keep saying they will use both one ninety and ten. If ten was working, would not use one ninety. If they were talking ninety nanometer, rather than ten, then I would be impressed. If someone could make money out of supersonic jets, we would get better and better supersonics, but instead, planes are slowing down, not speeding up. But people could make money out of drilling and stimulating oil fields, so drilling and oilfield stimulation got better and better, and continues to improve.

Physical resources are effectively infinite, in that physical limits to growth are unlikely to be a significant problem in the reasonably foreseeable future. The problem is social decay.

(This seems like it could have gone in almost any section...)


The Reality!

I want to talk about solitude, something many of us are experiencing while living in a filthy, corrupt society amongst degenerate people that have nothing in common with us. Try to save your closest friends by redpilling them correctly, but as for the rest, let them all fall into the abyss I say. There’s no way to help the ones that live in denial refusing to see reality and not wanting to be helped.

We all have to deal with solitude, but we are young yet, I’m 17 yrs old for instance. So if you are a male, there’s some time since aging in men does not affect the ability to reproduce. If you are a female however, there’s less time due to fertility, but it’s also easier to find yourself a honourable man. Right now we should all focus in personal improvement and investing in a good future, an autosuficient future in the countryside. Don’t waste your time with floozy losers and don’t be one either. There is no need to engage in degeneracy in order to be happy and meet nice girls, but there is no need to wait for a fair maiden to fall from the sky unto your lap either, that’s not going to happen. If you can’t find a girl intelligent enough, choose one that is not degenerate and brainwashed to the point of no return and redpill her yourself. She will love you even more for opening her eyes and mind.

Solitude is a part of the life of every intelligent person, but when you act like a weakling eunuch by giving up and staying more celibate than the Pope then you are a total loser my friend, just like the degenerates you despise. If you don’t plan to start a traditional family you are not taking enough red pills. It doesn’t matter how intelligent or useful you think you are, the reality is that you are not helping our movement enough, you’re not doing your part, you’re being almost useless. Solitude is a phase in life and only that, there is nothing sad or wrong about it as long as you don’t go full celibate and become a depressed schlub. Enjoy this period to improve yourself in every way possible - Stop watching porn, eat healthy, lift weights, read books, inform yourself about what’s happening, know your history and culture and stay true to them, make money to invest in a future for the family you plan to start. Of course there’s much more to do in terms of improvement, but you got the picture.

As a Christian, I am happy to read this article. I think it's wonderful. I've often asked myself why the rainbow was the LGBT flag. And I agree with vonfirmath - we don't have to solve the world's problems before tackling smaller issues.

And why would anyone be embarrassed to be a Christian because of Ken ham? He's a very smart guy who supports and promotes a literal, 6-day creation and a young Earth. I like him a lot. We read lots of his books and articles.

Quote# 129587

I have transcribed a million words of the Fa over the past four months, and gone through over 100 pencils in doing so.

I live in a town in the countryside. I talk to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and take care of my small business during the day. In the evening, I take care of my elderly parents and children. The time available for me to transcribe the Fa comes late at night, so on average I sleep about four hours a day.

I have experienced many supernatural phenomena during the process of transcribing the Fa. Sometimes the characters in the book became golden and transparent. I know that Master is encouraging me to continue.

When I am tired sometimes and close my eyes to recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good,” I see celestial maidens and white clouds flying around me through my third eye, and the Dafa book glitters with golden light.

I know that behind every character in the Dafa books is a Buddha or a god, and every one of them has mighty power. So if they show their bodies in other dimensions it would certainly be like a magnificent flame.

Sometimes when I see small bright spots darting across the paper, I immediately send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interfering demons and low spirits. They quickly disappear.

There are a lot of mosquitoes during the summer and they often bite my legs. I don't know how many times I have been bitten, and don't pay attention to the pain or itchiness. I concentrate on transcribing the Fa and ignore the mosquitoes.

My house is on a main street and people sometimes park their car in front of our gate, blocking the driveway. I used to get frustrated and thought that those drivers had no consideration for others. I later thought that they may have come here to learn about Falun Dafa and be saved. So I endured what used to frustrate me.

When I changed my attitude and raised my xinxing level, they no longer blocked our driveway.

I had anemia when I was young, so my friends and relatives often brought me some dates when they visited. We believed that eating dates would enrich the blood.

My anemia disappeared after I started practicing Falun Dafa, but I was still attached to the dates. I would see them in my dreams.

I had a thought, “Will I still buy dates after I finish transcribing this book.” When I finished and was leaving my house, I saw a bag of dates at my door, with a note saying that it was a free promotional offer.

I realized that it was an attachment that I had to let go. Dafa encompasses everything. I don't need dates to enrich my blood!

The day that I let go of my attachment, I felt a strong energy flow through my body while doing the exercises. I looked in the mirror when I had finished and noticed that my face was a rosy color.

While transcribing the “Fa Teaching at the 2015 West Coast Fa Conference” I came to realize that we need to eliminate many attachments to science. For example, when we believe some foods are good for the health and some are not we are giving science too much weight.

A similar blind belief in science manifests when people go to the hospital, eat certain foods to cure ailments, or pursue a comfortable life by relying on modern technologies.

After four months of transcribing the Fa, I noticed another change in my appearance. The wrinkles on my face disappeared and my hair became dark and silky. My image in the mirror looks smooth, young and serene.

Transcribing Dafa has help to raise my xinxing level and increased my belief in Dafa.

Quote# 129586

I experienced a magical thing after I began practicing Falun Dafa: a talking alarm clock. It's a very conscientious clock that even knows me by name.

If this sounds a little strange, well – it was at first.

Before taking up cultivation, I always had a bad habit of loafing around in bed, even after I woke up. More often than not, this resulted in my running late for work and skipping breakfast. But I hadn't thought too much of it; it was routine, I guess.

After starting up cultivation, I needed to read the Dafa books and practice the exercises, in addition to working full-time. This proved to be difficult.

I planned to do the first four exercises at night, and meditate the next morning. But because of my bad habits, I often overslept and skipped out on the fifth exercise.

I started having dreams where people were pushing or hitting me, which seemed intended to wake me up. Other times, I heard the sound of the wooden fish (a wooden percussion instrument). I knew that this was Master trying to wake me.

I decided to buy an alarm clock, as I was feeling ashamed that Master had to be the one to wake me up at 5:00 a.m. every day, and not myself.

Originally, the clock would either ring or play music to wake me up. But one day, what I heard instead was someone shouting my name, “Wake up, Xiaohui! Wake up, Xiaohui!”

I was astonished to discover that my alarm clock was shouting my name, and it has shouted my name ever since.

On another day, I was sleeping soundly and didn't hear my alarm clock ringing. However, I woke to the sound of someone crying while shouting my name.

I was jolted awake from sleep and heard my alarm clock crying. The alarm clock's voice had turned hoarse after shouting for forty minutes.

“I'm sorry for tiring you out,” I said. I was very moved.

There were also a few times when the alarm clock shouted, “Wake up, fool! Wake up, fool!”

I knew that Master had enchanted the alarm clock to rid me of my laziness.

When the persecution started on July 20, 1999, officers from the police station, along with community members, often came to my house to force me to renounce my belief. I told them the benefits of practicing Dafa each time they came.

My 85-year-old mother always mentioned my alarm clock to these officers. She said, “This Falun Gong is extremely good! My daughter's illnesses were cured, and she's never had to take any medicine. There is also this alarm clock that she has. It's so magical. How could it talk and shout my daughter's name each morning? This is true. If I didn't witness it with my eyes, would I believe it?”

They were rendered speechless every time.

Practitioners are aware that cultivators of the past had powerful Fa tools. As I understand it, Falun Dafa practitioners also possess Fa tools that are incredibly numerous, powerful, and envied even by gods and deities.

Many of our Fa tools were given to us by Master. They were given on each cultivation level a practitioner had reached. With these tools, we can eliminate the evil and resolve problems at various levels.

I have seen the powerful display of some Fa tools over the years and would like to share what I saw.

When I was sending righteous thoughts, I saw many bad substances in one dimension, and it was very difficult to clear them out. I was very worried and asked Master for help. He appeared, and gave me a red armored tunic. After I put it on, my body turned into a ball that rotated at a very fast speed, absorbing many of the evil elements.

The entire tunic had absorbed a large amount of degenerate substances. Master told me to take it off. He then handed the tunic to a deity and said to clean it well so that it could be used again.

While I was sending righteous thoughts to help a fellow practitioner, I saw a knife pointed at his chest that then proceeded to cut it open. Many dirty hearts in different colors were purged from the chest. They represented many ugly-looking beings.

The hearts that had an attachment to comfort were in gray clothes. They were laying there sluggishly, and their bodies were covered with worms and insects.

The hearts with an attachment to competitiveness wore red clothes, and every single section hid a soldier with weapons in their hands and on their feet.

Hearts that were filled with jealousy were tightly bound by densely packed poisonous snakes. It appeared that they were ready to suffocate the heart. The snakes bit others and itself viciously. Is it not true that when one hurts others, one also harms oneself?

Those with an attachment to human sentimentality were wearing colorful clothes, with countless hooks sticking out from inside. All kinds of sentiments were hooked to them.

Those with grudges against others had account books with dates on them, filling up the entire heart's capacity. Each account book had an ugly heart drawn on it, with a pointy tongue sticking out from the heart and sharp teeth around it.

The ones attached to resentment had a dark being inside the heart, giving off a foul odor. Those that were arrogant and looking down upon others had a being in their heart with a long neck sticking out, displaying arrogance, with their eyes looking upward. The self-protective heart had a being inside, like a boxer with two fists ready to ward off any blow. When I took a close look at the heart with an attachment to good life in the human world, it was no more than an inn with neatly arranged garbage.

While sending righteous thoughts, I saw that it was very difficult to eliminate each substance; after one layer of degenerated substances was cleared, another layer appeared.

I asked Master to strengthen my heart and he appeared again with all kinds of Fa tools in his hand, which dispersed when he opened his hands. Each Fa tool targeted a different attachment, and very soon the substances disappeared.

Master said, “For a cultivator, looking within is a magical tool.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2009 Washington DC International Fa Conference” from Teaching the Fa at the Conference IX)

Master has indeed given us the Fa tool of looking within, but it is up to each and every practitioner how he or she uses it.

There was an experience sharing article in which the practitioner said that he saw a tool that looked like an electric drill, when he was looking within. Upon eliminating an attachment, he saw that his heart was wrapped with a very thick shell, which the drill removed.

When looking within, I found a lot of human attachments, so I sent forth righteous thoughts. I thought that I would drill them away. Next, I saw a whisk, and each silk thread was retractable. There were countless whisks under each thread, and under these countless whisks there were more countless whisks. They were just endless. These whisks were cleaning my body from the most microscopic to the most macroscopic level, not missing any nook or corner.

Once my heart was cleansed, the whisk cleaned a cell as big as myself. One whisk was not enough, so countless whisks appeared to clean this cell. Everything within me was being cleaned, and it was truly a magnificent scene.

Suddenly, I had a deeper understanding of “Buddha's infinite grace.”

I also saw a deity laughing at me as if he was saying, “How could you use an electric drill to get rid of your attachments?” I also found it very pretty laughable myself. The Fa tools Master gives us are all different. We cannot just copy others in the use of these tools.

I also saw some Fa tools brought down by practitioners. They are all very powerful. I know that I had brought with me a green Ruyi, which to me means that it would help me fulfill my heart's wish. When I do things to validate the Fa and don’t want any interference, the Ruyi would play a role to gather all kinds of righteous factors.

I also saw that I have a Ruyi cover, which can protect those I want to protect; it can also cover evil and destroy them on the spot. However, some evil managed to escape. The Ruyi cover's coverage area is limited; I saw some fellow practitioners' Fa tools taking effect. Even so, some evil still escaped. Master then drew an even bigger circle, and this golden circle contained everything. Nothing could escape.

In the past, when I met up with a few practitioners, I knew that there was an arrangement made for us in remote history. It meant that when we were together, the tribulation one of us had come across would be resolved. However, a long time had passed, and the problem was still there. Master said when talking about the arrangements by the old forces,

“It's not limited just to this. Within the Three Realms they have done many bad things and made arrangements for many things that they wanted. What's more, many of those things have become warped. During the passage of such a long period of time, even the so-called gods of the old forces who originally did those things cannot resolve them. If there were no Fa-rectification they couldn't be resolved. There are a lot of things in the cosmos like that, and it's hard to resolve them without the arrival of the whole immense force of Fa-rectification.” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Atlanta Fa Conference”)

After I read this paragraph several times, I sent forth a thought, “For all those lives that had formed ties with me in history, or things I had promised when in heaven, or lives that were involved with me in one way or another, I can no longer accept our arrangements. I will only accept the arrangements made for me by Master. I do not want to fulfill any of the arrangements made by the old forces or by myself.”

Then, my next thought was, “Everything must conform to the requirements of the Fa-rectification. Master makes daily arrangements, and I won’t allow anything to distract me. All beings who want to help me, play your role in other dimensions and do your best at the fastest speed.”

They needed to know and understand, so I said “Gods will keep a record of your contributions. As for what I had promised and things I am meant to resolve, Master will help me resolve them. You don’t need to worry about those things and should not stick to what had been arranged in the past. Do not distract me from what I need to do. Since you had formed ties with me, you should believe in Dafa and believe that Master will give you the best during the Fa-rectification.”

I often strengthen this thought and keep rectifying myself and everything around me to reduce interference.

It is a truly magnificent scene when we send righteous thoughts. Gods in the universe also come to help, and they use their power and Fa tools to eliminate the evil.

Fellow practitioners, let us change our concepts and free our minds. We must use our divine thoughts in handling issues we come across. Let us use our Fa tools and enable them to play an even more powerful role in the Fa-rectification.

Quote# 129583

I am 75 years old and of Korean ethnic origin. I started practicing Falun Dafa on June 5, 1996. As most of the practitioners in my area were of Han ethnicity, I wanted to learn Mandarin Chinese. With nobody around to teach me, I thought to myself, “I will learn by transcribing Zhuan Falun.”

So I started by imitating the strokes of each character in the book. Although my wrist got really sore, I persisted day after day until I completed the entire book.

Something fascinating happened in the process. I did not understand any of the characters I wrote during the day. But at night I would have dreams where I held Zhuan Falun in both hands and read it fluently. Initially I had no clue what was going on. Later I realized that Master knew I was eager to learn Chinese and read the book, and therefore taught me how to read Chinese in my dreams. This solidified my belief in Master and Dafa, and strengthened my determination to continue my cultivation.

One day as I was looking at the characters in the book, I suddenly remembered how I read them in my dream. I was elated beyond words that I could read Chinese! Thus little by little I could read Zhuan Falun by recalling my dreams. At first it took me over five hours to finish a chapter and I was not clear about the meaning. So I would reference the Korean version to help me understand better.

Now, after 20 years, I can fluently read and understand Zhuan Falun in Mandarin and enlighten to the Fa principles without the language barrier. When it comes to other lectures and articles, however, I still have to read the Korean version.

My daughter, who can read and write in Chinese, did not fully believe that I had truly learned to read the book like this. She once sat next to me to verify that I was reading the characters correctly. As she realized the extraordinary nature of what had happened, she said, “You are like an earnest student studying diligently at a university. If you continue like this, you will surely succeed and achieve your goal.”

She is right indeed. I am an earnest student of the Fa of the universe. It is my true blessing that Master taught me the Fa!

Quote# 129582

Over 20 years ago, I was paralyzed due to muscular atrophy. I could not stand up. We tried many therapies, but nothing worked. My family had to hire two people to take care of me in shifts. The suffering made death sound better than life.

In 1993, a Falun Gong practitioner introduced me to Falun Gong. I then had the good fortune to attend the Falun Gong nine-day lectures given by Master Li Hongzhi in Hefei, Anhui province, from November 21 to 29, 1993.

At the beginning, I didn't consider cultivating Falun Gong (aka Falun Dafa). All I had in mind was to heal my paralysis. But later, I came to a better understanding of Master Li's lectures. This is a high-level cultivation practice, which offers salvation to people, not something merely for health and fitness. Master Li will purify a person's body only if he or she wants to cultivate and return to his or her true self. And only if this person follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance can he or she be called a cultivator.

So, I developed a sincere wish from the bottom of my heart: I wanted to be genuine Falun Dafa cultivator. At that very moment, I felt a shock in my body, and I burst into tears.

I remember that at one of the lectures, Master Li asked everybody to stand up and to stomp our feet when he asked. Without being aware of this, I stood up too. With Master's instruction, I stomped my left foot, and then my right foot. Just like that, my paralysis was healed.

I was able to stand up, and I was able to move around. I was healed. I cried out excitedly but forgot to say “thank you” to Master Li.

After the lecture that day, everybody left. I realized that the person who carried me there every day didn't come to pick me up, so I walked out of the lecture hall and took a taxi home.

My apartment was on the fourth floor. I knocked on the door. Everybody, including the nurses, was shocked! Everybody cried excitedly. My friends and neighbors were all happy to see that I, who used to be paralyzed, now can walk everywhere. Many people started practicing Falun Gong after witnessing this wondrous event.

Falun Dafa renewed my life. I am deeply grateful to Master Li Hongzhi.

Quote# 129581

It was very snowy last winter in northern China. The road was slippery and covered with frozen-over snow.

One day at approximately 10:00 a.m., I slipped and fell on my way back home from shopping at a supermarket. Things happened in a blur, and I was not aware of what had happened, but I could feel excruciating pain and could hardly breathe.

Five minutes later, I came back to my senses and tried to feel where the pain was. It was on my left arm. I saw that my left forearm was bent and loose. I prayed to Master for help while holding the bent part of the arm. I pulled it hard and clicked it back into place. It became straight and back to normal! I knew Master took care of it for me.

I sat up. Several passersby came to support me. I expressed my thanks and told them I was able to stand up by myself. I asked them to make a phone call to my family.

My husband is not a Falun Gong practitioner. When he heard the news, he urged me to see a doctor. I showed him my left arm, which was back to normal, but he insisted on taking me to the hospital. I understood his concern and agreed to follow him to the nearest hospital.

The x-ray film showed that both my radius and ulna in my left forearm were fractured. A doctor said my radius protruded at the joint and had to be set. I disagreed and told them that my bones would heal themselves. Hearing this, the doctor refused to provide any other treatment and did not make a splint for me.

We brought the x-ray film to a better hospital. A doctor examined the film and also identified the bone angle. He said they would set it for me. Before I had a chance to explain anything, the doctor had his assistant hold my left arm while he himself held me left hand, trying to fix the bone. However, I felt nauseous even when they touched my bone a little.

Finally the doctor gave up and made a splint for me. He asked me to rest for one day and come back to see him later.

After the day of rest, I went to see the doctor again. He asked me to take an x-ray. The x-ray technician was surprised at my bones.

“Don't move!” she said, so she could take a better look. “This arm has crushed bones.”

The doctor examined my film for a while, then asked me, “Has anyone set your bones after you fell down?”

I told him no one did and that I fixed it myself.

He was surprised. He showed me both x-ray films and pointed at the several crushed bones, which were now connected seamlessly.

He said my ulna had been fractured into at least seven or eight segments and my radius had crushed bones, too. But they were all connected well.

He only adjusted the splint and did nothing else. Finally, he reminded me to take care and use a cotton cover to keep my arm warm so that the blood could circulate.

I didn't use the cotton cover because my left hand and arm were warm all the time. Moreover, they looked tender and rosy.

Approximately ten days later, my left arm started stretching automatically. During the first several days, it stretched gently. In later days, it stretched with great force. I couldn't control it. It lasted for about one month.

On the twentieth day, I noticed that my left arm could move without a bandage. I started practicing the Falun Gong exercises.

Three months later, I went to make another x-ray. The film displayed healthy bones and joints, without any fracture. I went to see that doctor again. He examined the new x-ray film and told me I had recovered completely.

He was very surprised at my bones.

“They recovered themselves! Look, all the crushed bones disappeared,” he said. “You can no longer see them at all. The fractured bones returned to their correct positions. The bones look nice and neat. It's a perfect recovery.”

I was so grateful to Master: when I held my left forearm in the accident, Master had already set my fractured bones for me.

During the recovery, with only one splint, I didn't take a single pill, nor did I receive any medical treatment. My husband witnessed my recovery and the miraculous power of Falun Dafa.

He said, “You have a Master who protects you. If such an accident happened to an ordinary person, even high medical expenses might not get them anywhere.”

Thank you, great and compassionate Master!
