"Phew, it was just a dream. Lord! I am so sorry. Please forgive me." On March 10th, I had a very serious dream. It was so vivid. In the dream, the rainbow-colored light appeared in the sky. All of sudden, people ascended looking up into the sky with their hands raised and with shouts of joy. My parents were there, too.

Though I called out to my mother with loud voice, she only looked at the sky with a smile on her face. I started to pray. When I opened my eyes, I was in the sanctuary. I could see myself on the earth even after the Second Advent of the Lord in the air. I saw many people. Some of them prayed, some wept, and some looked like they gave up everything. Among them was my friend who attended another church. He seemed like he did not know why he was left on the earth. At that moment, I was making up my mind to receive shameful salvation by refusing to be given a mark, the number of the beast, the six hundred and sixty-six and dying a martyr in my dream.

After I woke up from the dream, tears welled up from my eyes. I had led a Christian life with which I could not receive salvation. I knelt down before God and offered up the prayer of repentance to God with tears.

I attended church, but was not a true Christian. I was addicted to online gaming. As soon as I came home from school, I played the game. I enjoyed it all day except for the time when I had a meal. I even played it right after I got out of bed. I enjoyed it six to seven hours a day during the school term and twelve to fourteen hours a day during vacation.

I also enjoyed watching pornography. I liked it less than game, but it was absolutely wrong before God. I felt so sorry before God and thought I could not receive salvation with such behavior. I totally changed after the prayer of thorough repentance with tears.

The very next day after the dream, I attended Daniel prayer meeting. On the following day, I deleted all the games and pornography from my computer. I made the files of praise songs and Dr. Jaerock Lee's sermons easy to access.

I even began to attend the Mini Divine Healing Meeting with Dr. Lee after Sunday evening service. His love touched my heart. Seeing him urge students not to be stained with the pleasures of the world where sin and evil are rampant and not to commit sins moved me. He also tried his best to help us not only in spiritual ways, but financial ways by offering scholarships to many of us students.

Afterwards, I came to long for all kinds of services. It was a totally different life from the past when I thought, 'How can I live without TV and my computer?' I have tasted eternal joy which cannot be compared to those things.

My attitude toward my parents changed as well. My parents are very happy seeing me change. I came to be excited about study and told my friends about the love of the Lord.

I give thanks to the Lord who waited for me with patience and gives me the grace to lead a happy Christian life.
