Message 4
The Church as the Kingdom of the Son of God’s Love

Praise the Lord! I was really touched by what Mark shared in the last
message, which is living under the direct rule of God. I really praise the Lord
that the Lord can rule us directly through our intuition. If my forefather did
not receive such a direct rule, I would not be here today. My grandfather
was on a boat one time going from one place to another. He was a very good
friend of the captain. As the captain prepared a very good room for him, right
away something within him told him, “Leave this boat.” He loves the Lord
very much, so he felt the need to obey the feeling. He left the boat. The boat
never arrived at the next port. That was quite something.

There is another instance. I was in Europe travelling with my brothers,
and we were going from Hanover to Munich in Germany. I had a feeling
within me that I should not go on that plane, but I felt very good for my
brother to go on that plane. I told my brother, “I don’t know why but deep
within me something is bothering me. I feel peaceful for you to go, but I
cannot go.” My brother said, “Where are you going to go?” I said, “I don’t
know, but I know I need to cancel this trip first.” I went to the travel agency,
and as I went there, there was a deep feeling within me that I need to fly to
Washington, D.C. instead of Munich. I was so glad that I followed the feeling.
When I landed in Washington, D.C., my mother was there to meet me. She
said, “I was praying so much that you would pass through Washington, D.C.
so you can bring me back to the Philippines.” At that time, we did not have
email or cellphones, so my mother could talk to the Lord, and the Lord can
talk to me. Don’t you think that was something?
One more thing, then we can go to the message. In the 1990s, I was in
Huntington Beach. The turmoil was over at that time, and the saints in Irvine
wanted me to go there. They told me they talked to Brother Lee, who said
