Preface

This book is a missionary record of Mr. Daisuke Nishiwaki, a pastor of Christianity. Pastor Nishiwaki was born in Okinawa before World War II and touched the Bible for the first time at the age of 20. And he was moved by the word of the Bible, "Seeking, farewell, given" in Matthew 7: 7, determined to live a life as a Christian.
Missionary work by Nishiwaki Pastor extends not only to Japan, Brazil and Argentina in South America, even North America and Hawaii. This book was written by Pastor Nishiwaki himself.
However, this is not merely a Christian missionary record.
There are a lot of unbelievable experiences written down, such as "I saw the hand of God ", "Jesus appeared in front of me", "The illness cured by my praying" and so on.
Perhaps these experiences are unacceptable to modern people. I think that it is a dubious occultism. When I first read it, I thought so.

So why did I write the preface and explanation of this book?
One of the reasons is that Pastor Nishiwaki is my patient. I was in charge of brain surgery outpatient at a certain university hospital in Tokyo, and Pastor Nishiwaki was one of the patients. I did not know that Mr. Nishiwaki was a pastor for several years after starting the consultation of Pastor Nishiwaki. At one point, I learned that he is a pastor, and his website "The true gospel of the kingdom of God" which he created by himself. On this website, the record of Christianity evangelism over the lifetime of Pastor Nishiwaki is stamped out by his own hands.
I was surprised and puzzled while opening the website of Pastor Nishiwaki and reading the evangelism record. This is because a number of phenomena that can not be explained by modern science and medicine -a number of "miracles" have appeared.
At first, I thought his brain disease (cerebral infarction) might be related, but it was immediately medically denied. Indeed, Pastor Nishiwaki mastered personal computers after 80 years of age, and his cognitive function was clear enough to create their own website.
I began listening to his evangelism experience story directly from Pastor Nishiwaki during the examination in the outpatient section. Pastor Nishiwaki's story is something that only the people who experienced actually can talk about, and even when I asked repeatedly the contents of the story did not change. And he came to talk about Christianity to me as a pastor.
Actually, I am a Christian (Anglican Church). However, when I met Pastor Nishiwaki, I was not a faithful believer who attended church only on Christmas.

On the other hand, Pastor Nishiwaki is a person like "a mass of faith" in a word.
He trusts the existence of God, the work of Jesus Christ's work - miracles - and the words of the Bible without a doubt.
There is an episode which clearly shows this.
When Pastor Nishiwaki was invited to a church and preached, he cited his favorite Bible word as usual.
"Seek for it, you will get it. Ask him, you will find it in a minute. Knock the door, then, it will open " (Matthew 7: 7-8)
And he said with confidence,
"If you believe the God, everything will be realized."
After the sermon, the pastor who invited Pastor Nishiwaki asked as follows.
"Do not you be afraid to say such a way? What would you do if they did not come true?"
Pastor Nishiwaki replied,
"Do you teach the believer what you do not believe?"

I gradually began to be fascinated by "Nishiwaki Daisuke".
After the age of fifty, I began to think about what I did not think about when I was young.
"My life and my current life are not very dissatisfied, why can not I satisfy my life? Why?
"Can I continue with such a life, can I surely die from my heart satisfied with my life?
People of the same age may have somewhat similar questions about life.
At the time, the Great East Japan Great Earthquake occurred.
Many people died due to the unprecedented disaster of the gigantic tsunami, and not only Japan but also all over the world were saddened. For contemporary people living for material prosperity, it may have been a chance to notice the preciousness and transience of human life again.

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, several people saw the spirits of those who died in the earthquake. Indeed, several books on it were published.
I think that such books are not merely interest-based and that contemporary people are seeking an invisible world, not just a materially visible world.
I read the evangelism record on the website of Pastor Nishiwaki many times and it came to think like this.
"Pastor Nishiwaki probably has important things that modern Japanese lost"
"If his evangelism record allows us to notice the important things we lost, would not it be possible for a new perspective for the future to grow?"
The important things that Pastor Nishiwaki tried to tell us are summarized in the next two.
First of all, it is "the real existence of God".
Regardless of Christianity, many religions are based on the existence of God in that doctrine, believers believe in the existence of God. For example, if you are a Christian, you believe in Jesus Christ, the true God and the true Savior, the Savior.
However, contemporary believers can only know the existence of Jesus Christ only in the Bible. So where is the god Jesus Christ?
I have asked a professor of a graduate theology department of theology about this.
"In contemporary Christianity, I think that God exists in our mind," the professor replied.
Such a way of thinking is also acceptable to the general public who does not believe in God. Faith is a problem of an individual's mind, and it is considered freely of individuals whether they believe in the existence of God or not.
However, in the case of Nishiwaki Pastor it is totally different.
Pastor Nishiwaki saw the hand of God floating in the sky with his own eyes, listened to the voice of God with his ears, and felt the hand of Jesus Christ on his head.
Pastor Nishiwaki recognized God with the senses of eyes, ears and tactility. In other words, for pastor Nishiwaki, God is not a conceptual thing to exist in the mind, it is a real - realistic thing that exists in this world.

We, modern people, think that invisible thing is not existing. God may be the best example. Also, we can not see the world after death.
"Does God exist or does it exist in an invisible world?
"What happens when we die?"
Noriyuki Nishiwaki's evangelism record was shocking to me who was suffering from such questions.
Next is the "power of prayer".
Even people who do not have faith in faith, they pray. May the family be healthy and happy so that the disease will heal, so that we can accept the exam, such as when we ask for difficult times or happiness, such as the family is healthy and happy.
Occasionally scenes where Pastor Nishiwaki prays also for evangelism records. But the power of that prayer - effect - is far beyond general common sense.
He prays to get rid of the disease. This is called god healing, but we would not be able to understand it by modern Japanese. You might think that it is a fake.
However, looking at the Christian society in Europe and the United States, there may be few people who think it is false to try to curtail the disease by prayer. This is because many Christian bibles show scenes of healing and miracles.
In modern times, Christians all over the world visit France's "fountain of Lourdes" in search of miraculous water believed to cure disease.
Furthermore, in the West, it is scientifically studying the effect of praying for diseases (see commentary).
Looking to the contemporary Japanese society, it seems that prayers are captured in a different meaning from the West. In a word, it is "light". It seems to be different from prayers for God based on faith as expressed in the word "godly trust in trouble".
When we visit shrines and temples we pray with our hands in hand, but it is not unlikely that we truly believe the effect of that prayer.
In contemporary Japan where no religion is common, it seems that people who believe in the existence of God and pray itself are regarded as "strange people" in a meaning that leads to "cult" (fanatic religious group).

How do overseas Christians feel about the story of Pastor Nishiwaki?
I asked my friends in Italy which is the home of Catholic. I am conducting a joint research with the University of Bergamo in the suburb of about an hour by train from Milan in northern Italy, and I visit several times a year. Bergamo is called a medieval town, and in the town's tall (Citta Alta) there are many churches built in the Middle Ages.
There was a chance to have a meal with my friend and the Father Catholic of his friend in Bergamo, Italy. When the meal ended, I dared to talk about the manifestation and the manifestation of Jesus Christ, which are described in the missionary records of Nishiwaki Pastor by two people.
Both of them became serious and listened to my story. And when I finished talking, they got a smile and said, "This is amazing!" with excitement. They never doubted the content of the story, much less strangely.

I repeatedly read the evangelism record of Pastor Nishiwaki, and suggested him to publish the evangelism record on the website as a book in order to dare to cast a stone against the current trend of contemporary Japanese society 'prayers as strange'. I am not interested in so-called spirituality or occultism; however, I wrote a preface and a commentary, thinking that it could be shared with the readers the reason why did I become attracted to the story of Nishiwaki Pastor, telling the process to the readers, more meaning of miracles by prayer experienced by Nishiwaki Pastor.
It would be an unexpected pleasure if you could have favorable impressions like my friends in Italy.

Part I : To the true gospel world of the kingdom of God

Meet the Bible on the main island of Okinawa
I met the Bible when I was 21, in the summer of 1950 (1950). The place was when I stayed at a business partner in the Takashi Buraku village of Yomitan village in the central part of the main island of Okinawa. That day was a beautiful moon night like noon. Sleeping is also regrettable, while taking a look at the moon in the night, I took out the harmonica that I always carry on my journey and was quietly blowing. At that time, there was a stranger to the door next to the house and opened to see that, staring here. I stopped playing and I rested that night soon. As I knew later, the song I was blowing was a hymn of number 535, and if anyone loves hymns of saying "Do not send today, use it to the Lord" anyone It was a song I knew.
Actually, I also did not know this song, but when I was 20 years old, I visited a neighboring village and the elderly couple singing a traveling occupant who was borrowing a back seat (the space behind the private house in Okinawa) It was a song that was. It was dusk where the sun was falling as well.
♪ Use it to the Lord who will not send you today
And it was a quiet, very beautiful song. When I was young I had a good memory and a good sense of sound, and I remembered my favorite songs soon. I remembered this song at once, sometimes blowing in harmonica.
I woke up in the morning and thought that I had hurt sleeplessness last night and I went to apologize to the house next door. When I visit you, while listening to the words asked "Are you a Christian?" With a serious face, without saying a greeting, saying, "What is Christian?" When asked "What is Christ, what is it?", It is said to be "a Savior", and when you say "Do you have something like that"? "You Do you have a Bible? "Asked. When asked, "What is the Bible?", He said, "I will give you this Bible," and received a New Testament translated into literary translation. I was born on Yonaguni Island in Okinawa Prefecture next to Taiwan, an isolated island of isolated seas, all the words I've never heard of.
At that time, a young man visited. It seemed like a close relationship of the same belief (same as faith). Because I introduced this young man, I also introduced myself. The name of the young man is Michio Wataru Keiji. When I talked, my heart was similar at the same age. We broke up with a solid handshake that we were brothers before they were born, and promised to meet again and we broke up.
I opened the New Testament for the first time. Where I first opened, there was a strongly minded word. That word,
"Obtain, farewell to you. Ask and find out farewell. Beat the gate and you will not be opened."
"Those who seek everything are found, those who asks see it, those who knock on the gate will be opened." (Matthew 7: 7-8)
It was the word of.
In my life experience, although people seek, they are not easily given, and often they can not find it. But in (verse 8), "Those who seek harvest are obtained, those who seek out are found out, those who knock the gate are open." It is written as .
(John 13: 18) The Bible must be fulfilled.
And in the New Testament literary translation. It was for the Bible to be fulfilled. Thus, the Bible proofs. Believe it or not.
I do not know prayers believed in the words of the Bible, who believes in the teachings of the Bible, saying it will be just as it is, in other words.
"Believe it or not."

A vicar, Aiko Uehara, was in a village called Okinawa of Okinawa City. He is an effort to learn Iroha (ABC) from the age of 60 and become a pastor. When visiting on a holiday afternoon, Professor Aiko Uehara was about to go somewhere. When I greeted the teacher, the teacher said, "You came to a good place, I am going to visit the sick person from now on, so I asked if I would go with you," she said.
That house was in the town named Okinawa City. The sick man says it is the end of tuberculosis. It was said that there was no prospect of being saved and it was returned from the hospital.
When I went to the house, the sick man could not get up thin and get up and was bedridden. As I approached my ear,
"Jesus Christ is a god who cures any disease, you quietly nodded when you say you believe in Jesus Christ?"
"Your illness has healed, eat anything you want to eat from today, get well soon, I will come again in a week,"
I returned. Professor Aiko Uehara also said that "I was glad, I was glad" and I was delighted with all my heart.
And when I came a week later, there is no one at home. About 500 meters away, I wore a straw hat on my upper body naked and found someone cultivating the field. I walked there and greeted "Hello", I returned "Hello". Then, knowing to me,
"You were you, as you said, the body suddenly got lighter from that day, my mood got better, I have no fever and no cough, so my stomach I am eating rice four or five times a day and I'm really thankful for it. Thank you very much. I am bored at home every day, so I will get used to my body little by little by the intention of exercise I am doing it. "

At that time Okinawa was under the occupation of the US military, and Kadena City in central Okinawa was under construction of a US dedicated airfield. At that time, I was working as a mechanic in the repairman of the heavy machinery to construct the Kadena Air Base in the US military. Usually, after work at 5 o'clock, it was a daily routine to take a shower and change back to the boarding house.
That day, the sky suddenly became cloudy and it became heavy rain with a pouring rain. Everyone was unable to return home, being stuck and being stuck was in trouble. I asked the junior of the same boarding house, "Get ready to change clothes and go home early, I will stop this rain." My juniors did not think that this rain would stop and everyone had the same idea.
I believed in the Word of the Bible, "I should stop this rain." Then suddenly the pouring rain ceased. It was a dark cloud all over heaven, and this rain stopped suddenly was nothing to think with common sense. Yet, as the rain stopped suddenly, everyone all started running home. I was also able to return to the boarding house with my juniors. For the first time, the Bible let me experience, to believe, to be right.
者 He who believes without seeing it is fortunate as he is written in John 20: 29.
Because the Bible's Word teaches the truth, I have been forced to believe, as I have experienced so many things when I do not know even the prayers yet. I read the original New Testament writing translations many times, believe in the word believing and believing, and experienced it many times.

Church of Chatan Village Okari
Mr. Michio Watarinabe had a church in the village called Chikuzaru of Kitaya village. The church said that American soldiers who were stationed in Okinawa after the war made holidays and brought down the waste of architecture and built them. When I had time, I was acting with Keiji-kun. He taught children the hymns and taught the Bible stories. Also, with the understanding and cooperation of the school principal, I was doing the same thing in small, medium and high school. Furthermore, at the community hall of each village, we were promoting the evangelization activities to the young people of the village. In addition, I was conducting a consolation work from the north to the south of the main island of Okinawa, such as Tuberculosis Dormitory and Hospital of the hospital, an orphanage, an orphanage, rescue garden, Love Paradise of leprosy. After the war, I was scratched by my heart, comforting those who were sick, encouraging and walking.
Just around that time, Rev. Yoshihiko Kagawa came to Okinawa prefecture and was doing evangelism lectures in all over Okinawa. We also followed the lecture by Pastor Kagawa. Mr. Michio Wataru Keiji went to Tokyo for study, saying that he would become the second Pastor of Kagawa. I took over after him and taught the children around each meeting place. In the Christmas of the year, 1,200 children gathered and celebrated the birth of Jesus.
The following year, a letter came from Mr. Goujouji who went to Tokyo. She seemed to correspond with the president of the University of Tokyo and visited the president and said, "What did you come to do, return to Okinawa and evangelize?" As I wrote to you that I would like to hear your opinion, I replied, "The truth of the gospel is in evangelism, practicing and learning. "
He was introduced to Pastor Murai Jun from Mr. Fumo Wataru of Amami Oshima and was told to visit by all means, so he visited before returning to Okinawa. At that time, Pastor Murai Jun had prayed enthusiastically for Okinawa, he said he was deeply impressed. When you greet Murai teacher, it is said that to receive the Holy Spirit together with the students, and has continued with the "Hallelujah, Hallelujah", the tongue is tangled, hallelujah is no longer say, went on behalf of the different words. When praying continuing as it is, he was filled with the Holy Spirit, led to the Holy Spirit afterwards, and said that tongues' prayers became regular.
Pastor Murai Jun is a director of the Christian Church of Jesus and is also the director of the Japanese Bible Graduate School of this cult. Fundamental doctrine that is taught in the academy, all taught on the basis of the Bible, "the human salvation, is" Water and the Spirit. "Jesus Christ, the Savior, anyone, newly born from the" Water and the Spirit " Without it, we can not enter the kingdom of God "(John 3: 5). (This is the word said to Nicodemus, the Jewish leader)
It is said that Biblical theology is the fundamental doctrine, and everything is educated based on the Bible for the training of God students.
The Lord Jesus said,
(Acts 1: 3, 5) After Jesus sufferings, Jesus frequently showed themselves what he is living for over forty days, showing numerous positive evidences. That is, John baptized with water, but you will soon be able to baptize by the Holy Spirit. But when the Holy Spirit comes to you, you will receive power and will be witnesses to Jerusalem, all the land of Judea and Samaria, and even the land.
(John 20: 20-23) I said so, I showed them hands and arms. The disciples rejoiced at the sight of the Lord. (Verse 21) Jesus also said to them, "Let me rest, I will also send you like my father sent me." (Verse 22) And they said to them, "I will give you the Holy Spirit." The sins you forgive are forgiven for any sin, and you are guilty of sin that you do not forgive It will remain as it is. "

Pastor Michio Wataru Go back to Okinawa
Pastor Masao Watarinabe is a pastor who studied the Bible at the Japanese Bible Graduate School in Tokyo and told the true gospel of God's country for the first time to Okinawa after the war. He came home with the true gospel of the kingdom of God.
It was December 21 of the year that I came back to the church in Chubu village Yukari, in the middle town, greeting me at Naha. In the church primary school children were preparing for Christmas. The students were delighted to welcome Professor Wataru Watanabe.
Mr. Watanabe talked about the experiences in Tokyo on greetings that came back to Okinawa. At the Japanese Bible Graduate School, "You must receive the Holy Spirit, pray continuously with Hallelujah and Hallelujah to receive the Holy Spirit, and speak in tongues when the Holy Spirit falls, as a tongue comes out, as a sign of the Holy Spirit received A different word comes out, The true salvation was said to be baptized (baptism) of "water and spirit" written in John 3: 5, The teacher said that he was baptized twice, he said he refused by saying that he is no longer needed. But they were caught by the god students and received the Holy Spirit.
At that time, I heard the word "Holy Spirit" for the first time. It was also different from the way of prayer and the words of prayer first. The tongue comes out as a proof that you are receiving the Holy Spirit.
This time it was shown that the word of the Bible was baptized by "the name of Jesus Christ", forgiveness of sins and had to be reborn again (Acts 2: 38-43). He said that he was "baptized" by being told that "I must be baptized by" the name of Jesus Christ ". Indeed, it is written in the Bible exactly. He says that the correct faith must be strictly in the Bible.
"The true salvation is" water and spirit. "First of all, receiving the Holy Spirit, baptism must be baptized in the name of" Jesus Christ "
When the greeting was over, I talked with words I had never heard. And he said, "Let's receive the Holy Spirit, everyone," and they did the Holy Spirit Awaiting Meeting.
"To receive the Holy Spirit, continue with" Hallelujah, hallelujah ", the Holy Spirit will come down, the tongue will tangle and a different word will come out.The Holy Spirit will be spoken of and will be filled with the Holy Spirit as you continue. Let's keep praising God and Hallelujah, everyone, "
After a while, the Holy Spirit will come, the tongue will tangle, he will say the tongue. Both adults and children prayed together, and I prayed together.
When I prayed, the Holy Spirit came upon me, my tongue was caught, I thought that a tongue came out, and at the same time Jesus peered over from the upper part and staring at me staring. I could not say anything, but my eyes were compassionate, indescribable eyes. The heart of Jesus felt strongly to me, I became full of mind, I burst into tears. Even if it has reached about an hour and a half, even if I try to stop it, I can not stop myself by any means. I could not stop crying until the voice withered.
I still remember clearly at that time. I was excited that night and I could not sleep a second.

At a meeting place in Anzuya
When the dawn dawned, I gathered the children at the meeting room in Anzuya, explaining what was in the church yesterday, doing the long-awaited sessions of the Holy Spirit, and all the people received the Holy Spirit. A miracle happened to the children who received the Holy Spirit. The results of all the children with poor performance are improved, parents wonder, gather at the meeting place together with the children, listen to the story of the "gospel", parents receive the Holy Spirit, and be saved It became like it. After that, people spreading their activities at each meeting place, community hall, etc. and receiving "baptism" of salvation "water and spirit" began to spread rapidly and spread.

Experience of the Tent at Yomitan church
At the entrance to Yomitan village from Naha, a church in the tentement was made. There were many pillars in the awning, and a lot of chairs were lined up. I sat on the chair at the back of the awning and prayed in tongues. Then filled with the Holy Spirit, led forward before closing his eyes, walking forward without hitting any pillar or chair, sitting in a chair in front of the tents of the tent prayed and praying It is. It was a mysterious experience.

Night events in Naha city
On the evening that I went to Naha City and had a long-awaited Holy Spirit in the family of Mr. Hayatoshi, the whole family received the Holy Spirit, Pastor Wataru Wataru asked me what to do. That night we talked late and rested. That night I had a sound sleep, but when I was asleep, the Lord Jesus appeared above my head, I felt staring at me sleeping. I jumped up shouting "Hallelujah" and fell down and praying, Pastor Keiji Watanabe, who had been sleeping, came up and put my hand on my head, "I am blessed for you, for you, I took a high police tobacco and said, "I went to the place where I was asleep and rested. I wondered. In the morning, I asked why I said such things by putting my hands on my head last night and saying that I do not remember anything. He was also wondering whether he was so. Both of them realized that they were led by the Lord Jesus and made them do such things.

To the Yaeyama evangelary ordered the Lord
The next morning, when I was watching the Kerama Municipal Islands that the US military landed in Okinawa for the first time, the Kerama Municipal Island was visible from the position where I stand, about 10 degrees below the eye. There was no house at the time, the view of the sea of Okinawa from the side of the church of Yuri was good. When I noticed, I saw the person's arms in the sky on the left diagonally above, so I thought it was an optical illusion of the eye, and as I looked carefully, his arms grew steadily. Fearfully, I jumped into the synagogue of the church and inquired to the Lord, "What is the arm that is appearing in heaven now?", "It is my helping hand, that hand has been extended Go to where, it is Yaeyama. " I have declined to the Lord, "I can not do anything, I do not know anything". Then the Lord said to him, "You are not just doing something, but staying in Christ, you will pay. Go, all the need and help are prepared for that path. "
More than that I did not rebel against the word of the LORD, but to obey the word of the Lord.

After sermon in Itoman city, to Yaeyama
I have known each other well for a while from the pastor of Itoman Church. When I went to greetings for Yaeyama evangelism, I was asked to preach on Sunday and I was supposed to do it. Based on the Bible, we testified the signs of the Holy Spirit, the signs made by God and the curious work, encouraged the brothers and sisters of the Church, prayed for the blessings of the Lord, and finished the service.
I bid farewell to Pastor Itoman Church and brothers and sisters and visited a ship going to Yaeyama. There was a boat of about six tons anchoring offshore. Because this ship goes to Yaeyama, it departed from Yoshimitsu to Yaeyama by the ship.
The passengers were sleeping with a tent on the deck, but the sea was rough on the way and the ship was shaken terribly, and the waves were driven many times in the ship. It is a story that I heard later, that at that time, I sleeping was said to have protected the people who shined, surrounding me. When I heard the story, I appreciated that God sent the angels and kept my voyage.

Yaeyama evangelism The first miracle and work of the Holy Spirit
I landed at Yaeyama, and that night I visited a friend who went back to Ishigaki earlier. He was engaged to the daughter of Yaeyama Methodist Church.
That day was Wednesday, a prayer meeting was held in the church. Friends introduced me to the believers of the church and asked them to prove their believers, so I testified of what God did in Okinawa. After the prayer meeting, the believers said that they seemed to be Paul in a different mouth, like Paul.
The gathering broke up and we decided to return to each home. At that time, some believers were criticized for being sick and in critical condition, so they are praying that they should pray. Since it is already in the middle of the night, I do not know if I will have tomorrow because I do not know what to do tomorrow so I was begged to come inside tonight, so if I was guided by the elders of the church, the sick people were bedridden, With a breath of insects, without the help of his wife, there was nothing we could do. As I saw that I was possessed by the spirit of sickness, I first drove out the spirit of sickness, approached the sick person, put my hand on my head, "In the name of Jesus Christ this disease is healed "I said. After finishing praying, when tea was drunk, a sick who could not move tumbled up. Everyone was surprised and said, "It's a miracle, a miracle happened." I still can not believe that the patient was healed, "Did I really heal?" I told the sick person, "How do you get up, now, if you can not be healed, you will not be able to wake up," I heard that he was healed, "I am in a newspaper company I want to go and tell this thing to many people who are suffering from sickness like me and save it. " The believers of the Yaeyama Methodist Church, who was present, thanked Jesus for praying with gratitude to Jesus.
That night when we returned, the healed sick wanted to go to the toilet and woke up his wife, but his wife did not get up whether there was relief and a long nursing fatigue. His husband had a good mood, bodily lightness, strength and strength, thought that he might be able to walk, got up slowly, walked and walked, so I went to the toilet behind the house with clogs and walked . However, the body was weakened, he said he lost consciousness after sitting in the toilet. Then Jesus appeared and came in, and in a gentle voice, "I wonder what you are" was told, I just woke up waking up. He gave a testimony at a later date that the body was given power, filled with joy, and returned home.

Rumors spread
I stayed at my house where my sister was married. My sister raised me asleep and said, "I want to see my older brother, people are waiting in line," so I got up and rushed back and dressed. When I asked Wake to visit me, I heard that the healing of a seriously ill person last night is a reputation. We listened to the consultation of the houses in order, but everyone was about the sick. Everyday from that day, in response to the trouble of each family, they prove that Jesus heals. After the healing prayers, I prayed that the whole family should have the Holy Spirit, and God gave the whole family of sick people the Holy Spirit.
In the name of the Lord Jesus, people healed increased like everyday. During the day the sick person was healed, from no where in the evening, there was a request for a family meeting. Every night a family meeting was held according to the offer and the sermon of that day witnessed the miracle that day was done. All the people gathered longed for the Holy Spirit, and all the congregation received the Holy Spirit. God responded to everyone's wish and gave the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit Awaited Society occurred with the work of various Holy Ghosts. People who weep, laughing with a stomach, those who turn over with praying, everyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit, who does not stop praying for tongues, etc. He was thankful for showing the work of various Holy Ghosts.

The Lord Jesus suddenly appeared
As one of the elders of the Yaeyama Methodist Church, there is a councilor of the city council, and as the reputation spreads, the members of the parliament are brainwashed, believers are brainwashed, the denominations are different, etc., so as to interfere with evangelism Became.
"There is no sin against the Holy Spirit in this world or in the later world" (Matthew 12: 32). I thought that the Holy Spirit would not be defiled and I went to pay attention to the people of the Yaeyama Methodist Church. After paying attention, when praying for intercession for those unrelated, for the church, Jesus suddenly appeared and told me. "There is only one church. It is said to give the authority of the church to you ", blessed by placing hands on my head. Jesus then appeared with the authority of the Almighty God. I lost my sense of whole body, I was lifted up to heaven, on earth, where my body is, I lost my sense completely and I did not know anything. At that time Jesus, both hair and face beard were white and they held a cane in their hands. As I saw it, I felt the dignity of the Almighty God.
As I looked further, Moses brought in over 2 million people of Israel, shook the wand and showed the spectacle of advancing in the wilderness. And he said, "That is your life". At that time, I raised my hands and asked the Lord, "Lord, please give me the wand of that miracle given to Moses." The Lord was gone, with the wand that the Lord had, on my hands. The scene at that time is still burned back to my mind and I remember it vividly as it was yesterday.

Spreading the Gospel in Ishigaki
From that time on, I was filled with the Holy Spirit, full of joy, and could heal a sick person instantly by simply putting my hand on them.
Ishigaki city is a small town and rumors spread each day asking for help, with people saying that they come from the sick house. A lot of people flooded in every day. When I was invited to a sick person's house, my spiritual eyes were opened and I could see even the state inside the house. The spirit of the disease afflicting the sick person seemed to leave the house and run away, and at that moment the person was healed.
I do not believe in the spirit of sickness escaping to the person who came to heal who then claims that sick people were healed. Rather than saying "I have already recovered from my illness, please go home," he says, "I do not say as so, please come to my house." After going to the person who requested the call, the disease was healed correctly.
One time, as soon as I arrived at the sick person's house, I could see all through it. I told the person I came to heal 'I'm going to go'. Then, the spirit of the disease that dominated the house tried to escape, seeking a place to hide in the house, and it was seen behind the Buddhist altar, hidden behind the shrine. Furthermore, when going to the gate of the house, there were also cases where evil spirits could not hide and would escape. After the evil spirit fled, the house that was defiled with demons must be purified by praying in the name of Jesus Christ, so that the spirit of disease and the spirit of the birds would not come back. I would cleanse the inside and outside of the house. When I asked the family's family to receive the Holy Spirit and prayed that the Holy Spirit would fall on them, they all received the Holy Spirit, talked in tongues, and were filled with comfort and joy. The Holy Spirit filled the house and it became bright. Peace was given to the family and I thanked Jesus.
As the name of Jesus is increasingly worshiped and this gospel is spread throughout Ishigaki city of more than 20 thousand people, no people go to the hospital, no people go to see movies, and no people go to other religions. There is nothing else, because every evening people gather at my family meeting.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit
When filled with the Holy Spirit, the heart becomes hot and full of joy, the face is flushed, the eyes ablaze, and the whole body feels drunk. As soon as the hand touches the body of a sick person, the disease is healed.
Before the revelation of heaven began, when I awoke in the morning my body could not move at all. The revelation lasted more than six months, during which my whole body could not move, even while awake. But at the end my body was completely dominated by the Holy Spirit and my consciousness was clear. When the revelation of heaven was over, my whole body was unleashed, and the word of the Bible was revealed until the end of days just by grasping it in the hand and without opening.
When I pose the question, "What kind of passage in a chapter of the Bible?" the answer is: "Open it and see." With the precision of divine revelation, it will show who the true believers are. The whole congregation believes, and not one person has a doubt. This teaches everyone how important it is to believe.
At each nightly family gathering, the believers seem to have been looking forward to listening to the work of God that happened throughout that day. I preach as I was told by the Holy Spirit. When each rally is over, the followers who seek healing come forward to pray to God. Olive oil poured on their heads to ease their sickness, and they put their hands together. We pray, and I say, "In the name of Christ, this disease is healed." And the disease is healed instantly.
How enjoyable is it to be guided by the Holy Spirit of the Lord? God is filled with power and wisdom, and He works with us by showing us signs. Various works are carried out, wonders are done, and the glory of God appears. I always thank the Lord Jesus for the strength to be in the kingdom of God and to speak the gospel of the kingdom of God.

Establishing a church in Yaeyama
As the number of believers grew, they came to wish to establish a church. So in the name of Jesus Christ, I declared the establishment of the "Yaeyama Jesus Church of the Holy Spirit." After consulting with the believers, I borrowed a house in the center of the town and made it a church. From this day forward, I appreciate that I can observe the Sabbath day worship and perform all the activities of the church.

True salvation is "water and spirit"
After the church was established, people came to visit, asking for salvation. The work of God was seen to act again and again. Over the following two months or so, more than 200 people received the Holy Spirit, and more people wanted to be baptized.
One day, two high school student joined, a brother and a sister. I went by bicycle to seek a river for the baptismal ceremony and found a suitable brook past the town of Shiraho, which is far from Ishigaki city. That day there was a baptism of two people.

First experience of baptismal ceremony
My first baptism gave me a solemn feeling. First, I explained the baptismal ceremony and prayed for the blessing of baptism. I then left everything to the Lord and went down into the water. When praying with both hands clasped, the whole universe is painted in the blood of Jesus Christ. The eyes are colored the red of His Blood, and originating from the existence of God, I witness the coming down of forgiveness for sin. And in the universe painted in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit made my mouth declare that the believer is baptized "in the name of Jesus Christ." As the whole body is immersed into the water, baptism is given. After baptism, the faces of the brother and sister gleamed with solemnity. Each is truly born again and looks as if with the face of a new person. When a person is immersed in the blood of Jesus Christ and is baptized, although it is for only one second, the face shines brighter than ever before and never do I doubt that the person is born again. When I finished the baptism it was a delight to shed tears.

First feet-washing (Maundy) procedure
After the baptismal ceremony I do a cleansing ceremony. First, I explain the cleansing ceremony from the Bible. I then pray for the blessing of the cleansing, pray for the water of the Tarai, wrap a towel about my waist, and declare, "I will do a cleansing ceremony in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ." After that, I wash the feet by touch. Once the cleaning is complete, I dry the feet with the towel. (This act is known religiously as "Maundy", but since it is not yet familiar, the phrase "feet washing" will be used hereafter.)
This was my first experience that washing a person's feet can be so satisfying and is a brilliant way of showing the appearance of a person who now walks a new life.

Teaching of the Lord Jesus towards feet washing
The Lord Jesus commanded me as is written in the bible.
(John 13:1) Before the festival of Passover, Jesus knew that his time had come to go to the Father by leaving this world. Loving the people of the world, he loved them through to the end and they passed him through. (Verse 2:) At dinner time, the devil had put in thought to the heart of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon to betray Jesus. (Verse 3:) Jesus said, "My father put all things into my hands. And what I gave to you, think of coming from God before I return to God." (Verse 4:) Standing up from the dinner table, he took off his coat and wrapped a towel around his waist. (Verse 5:) Then he put water into a basin, washed his disciples' feet, and dried them with the towel he had around him. (Verse 6:) And thus it became Simon Peter's turn. He said to Jesus, "Lord, do you wash my feet?" (Verse 7:) Jesus answered him, saying, "You do not understand what I am doing now, but you will understand later."
(Verse 8:) Peter said to Jesus, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If you do not let me wash your feet, you will lose any affiliation with me." (Verse 9:) Simon Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, not only my feet, wash too my hands and head!"
(Verse 10:) Jesus said to him, "He who has washed his whole body has no need to wash, because his body is already clean. You disciples are clean, but not all of you."
(Verse 11:) For Jesus knew who would betray him. So he said, "Not all of you are clean." (Verse 12:) After he washed their feet, he put on his coat and returned to his seat again and said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? (Verse 13:) You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord', which is right, because I am. (Verse 14:) But since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you should also wash each other's feet.
(Verse 15:) Do as I have done to you, and follow the example I have given to you. (Verse 16:) I tell you the truth. Slaves are not beyond their master. And the messenger is not more important than the one who sends the message. (Verse 17:) Now you know these things you will be blessed by God for doing them. (Verse 18:) I am not saying these things to all of you. I know the people I have chosen.
This was what happened at the table of the last supper, the day before the Lord Jesus was crucified.

The second baptism ceremony
The second baptism ceremony was held after chartering two buses. A total of 90 people had already received the Holy Spirit. We went by bus to Miyara River and passed through Ohama Town, where live the Miyara Buraku. The baptismal ceremony was explained, then all prayed in tongues, so that the baptismal ceremony would be blessed. The water of the river turned into blood.
Baptism was done in turn, one by one. First, those who were to be baptized and those that would baptize came down into the water. Then I looked up to the heavens and prayed with them with hands raised, declaring "I baptize in the name of Jesus Christ." Their whole bodies were immersed in the blood of Christ and baptized.
On that day, the water of the river turned into the blood of Christ, and from the beginning to the end of the baptismal expression, Jesus stood on the water and saw that each person was immersed in his blood and baptized. That was greatly believed by witnesses.

The apostles' baptism ceremony
(Acts 2:36) "So the whole family of Israel should know this fact only. This Jesus you crucified, God has set up as the Lord and Christ." (Verse 37:) When people heard this, they were strongly stung, and said to Peter and to the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" (Verse 38:) Peter answered, "Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ so that each one of you gains forgiveness for your sins, so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Verse 39:) This promise will be for everyone who will be in the calling of our Lord God, that is you, and the children of yours."
(Verse 40:) Peter witnessed many other words and encouraged people by saying, "Please be saved from this crooked time!" (Verse 41:) Those who received the words of his advice were baptized, and on that day about 3,000 people joined the group. (Verse 42:) All of them kept to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, eating bread and praying together.
This was the first baptismal ceremony (baptism) of the apostolic times. Since then, baptism has always been done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ anytime, anywhere, for anyone.

Feet- washing procedure
Even after the ninety baptismal ceremonies were over, the Lord Jesus remained standing there from the beginning to the end to see each person's feet- washing ceremony. Some followers, trembling and weeping with fear, dared not put their feet in the water. My waist hurt, as it took more than two hours to finish the feet-washing  ceremony for ninety people.

Baptism of a substitute for the dead
At the end of a baptismal and cleaning ceremony, a sister came to me and said, "Teacher, I will ask for baptism of my ancestors." I refused to say "I do not do such things" and instead said, "Your teacher was taught that salvation of ancestors is predominantly baptismal, and since I believe in the Bible, I will attempt to do it."
I did not know how to call on the spirit of ancestors in the world of Hades since I had not yet experienced the substitution of the deceased baptism. When I asked her "Who is the substitute?", she answered, "I am the substitute for my late father". So I prayed for the spirit of the deceased father in the world of hell and against that spirit, saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ I am going to baptize with you." and baptized him. Her deceased father was released from the world of hell and climbed up to heaven.

Foot-washing ceremony of a substitute for the dead
To perform the foot-washing ceremony for the deceased who has been transferred from the underworld (hell) to heaven's paradise, the person who has been baptized on behalf of the deceased must also undergo the foot-washing ceremony on behalf of the deceased. While I was washing her feet, Jesus was standing beside us, watching. And until the time the deceased foot-washing ceremony was finished, the person was shown the whole life he had walked as if from a revolving lantern.
During baptism and foot-washing ceremonies of a substitute for the dead, Jesus appeared twice: at Miyara River on Ishigaki Island; and on the south shore of Kubera Wetlands, Yonaguni Town.
The baptism of a substitute for the dead is written in the bible (Corinthians 15:20), and to rescue the dead from the world of Hades, I am convinced that there is no other way than baptism of a substitute for the dead. I learned that ancestors seriously wished to be rescued from the world of Yomi.
When I read the Bible, it tells me that the dead do not go straight to heaven.

Use of Jesus' blood
The blood of Jesus on the cross is allowed only three times. The three are, from the scriptures: baptism, foot-washing, and communion.

True significance of baptism
Baptism is like death, burial and resurrection with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a new birth and union with Christ.
(Romans 6:1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Verse 2:) May it never be! We who died in sin, how could we live in it any longer? (Verse 3:) Or do you not know? We who were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death. (Verse 4:) We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in a new life. (Verse 5:) For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection. (Verse 6:) We know this: That old men among us were crucified with Christ, so that the body of sin might perish, and we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

Foot-washing in the blood of Christ
One day, a woman rushed into the church, crying, "Teacher, I cannot speak in tongues. It's painful. Please pray for me." I asked, "What did you do?" She replied. "I don't know why can't speak in tongues but it makes my heart ache." As usual, I poured olive oil and tried to pray for healing. A tub was shown, and the cross of Christ appeared in the tub. As I watched, blood dripped from the crucified body of Jesus Christ, turning the water of the tub red.
I realized that the Lord had instructed me to wash her feet, so I filled the tub with water and did so. Just by washing her feet, she was freed from the control of the devil Satan. The sister was filled with joy and offered a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord.
In some cases, evil spirits possessed people and were so persistent that they could not be exorcised, but left after the foot-washing ceremony was performed.

Mysteries of the Sacrament
(John 6:33) The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. (John 6:54) But whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise up that person on the last day. (Verse 55:) For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. (Verse 56:) Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
(Matthew 26:26) While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it, for this is my body." (Verse 27:) And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, "Each of you drink from it." (Verse 28:) "For this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many." (29) "Mark my words — I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom."
And the Bible teaches this.

The sacrament commemorates the death of Jesus
The sacrament ceremony is held in commemoration of the death of Christ.
(Corinthians 11:23) For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night on which he was betrayed took bread. (Verse 24:) When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me." (Verse 25:) In the same way, after supper, he also took a cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."
(John 6:51) I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. And this bread, which I offer so the world may live, is my flesh. (Verse 53:) Jesus said them, "I tell you the truth; unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life." (Verse 54:) But whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise up that person on the last day. (Verse 55:) For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. (Verse 56:) Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

Defeat the army of demons
It was also the first time for me to perform the sacrament. Because of the large number of believers, I thought that one loaf of bread would not be enough, so I made two large loaves just in case. As I found out later, this was my mistake. It was something I should not have done. The Bible says that as the body of the Lord is one, so the bread must be one. I regretted it. In the end, one loaf of bread was enough, so Satan the Devil may have gone after the extra loaf.
I prayed in tongues for the blessing of the communion, declaring, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I will administer the communion." Then an army of demons rushed in. In a group people in which each person's substance was completely black was the figure of the devil Satan. I didn't understand what the demons, Satan, were saying because there were so many of them making a lot of noise, but I ignored them and continued to pray for the communion.
At that time, one of the believers was possessed by Satan, and with a yellow voice coming from the top of her head, he started dancing. Then I saw two vessels descending from heaven onto the pulpit. At the same time, power descended on me from heaven.
I scolded, in tongues, the sister who was being swayed by Satan and trying to disrupt the sacrament. Then Satan turned away from the sister, and she came to her senses and began to weep. Satan had come to steal the sacramental bread. Satan clamored with great force until I broke the bread and distributed it to the believers. Thereafter, as soon as the unfermented wine of the Lord's blood was poured into cups and distributed to the believers, the devil's army dispersed like scattering spiderlings. I was taught once again how the blood of Jesus Christ is the greatest authority in the spirit world.

Helped by an angel
As I mentioned earlier (see page 46), on the morning of the second baptism, I was told that the deadline for vaccinations was that day, so I went to the health office to get my vaccination and then went to the baptism.
There were 90 people who were to be baptized, and the baptism and foot-washing ceremony was performed one by one, so it took a long time for the service to be completed. When I returned home after the baptism ceremony I developed a fever of over 40°C and a severe headache, probably as a side effect of the vaccination I had received in the morning, so I rested at the house next to the church.
At the church, believers gathered and sang hymns to console me and give thanks for me. While I was sleeping an angel appeared twice and used her large wings to fan my face. I was then forced to speak vigorously in tongues, which completely removed the fever and intense pain in my head. Thanks to the angel, I was able to attend the church. When my brothers and sisters saw my face they were delighted and cheered joyfully. I testified that an angel came and fanned me with her feathers, completely healing me so I could go to our church. The believers were moved by this testimony and began to pray in tongues, worshiping the name of Jesus and giving thanks to him.
