Brother Yun

Brother Yun (1958–present). Born Liu Zhenying on January 1, 1958, in Nanyang, Henan, China, Brother Yun is a Chinese house church leader, evangelist, and author, renowned for his role in the Back to Jerusalem movement. Raised in poverty, he converted to Christianity at 16 in 1974 after his mother’s renewed faith led to his father’s miraculous healing from lung cancer, sparking a family revival. Lacking a Bible, Yun fasted and prayed for one, receiving it after a divine vision guided evangelists to deliver it. He memorized Scripture, including the Gospel of Matthew, and began preaching at 16, reciting entire chapters to villagers, leading to widespread conversions despite China’s clampdown on Christianity in the 1980s and 1990s. As a house church leader, he faced severe persecution, arrested multiple times, tortured, and imprisoned for over seven years, including a 74-day fast he claims sustained him miraculously. In 1997, he escaped Zhengzhou Maximum Security Prison, attributing it to divine intervention, and fled to Germany, where he gained asylum. Yun authored The Heavenly Man (2002) with Paul Hattaway, detailing his persecution and miracles, and Living Water (2008), sharing his teachings; the former won the UK Christian Book of the Year in 2003. Married to Deling, with two children, he now ministers globally, advocating missions to unevangelized nations. He said, “We shouldn’t pray for a lighter load to carry, but a stronger back to endure!”

Sermon Transcription
Father God, we thank you this morning for allowing us to stand up. We thank you for the breath of life. We thank you for the gift of salvation. We thank you that you care about us and that you are for us. Father, I ask that this moment, this day, this morning, you would again use my brother Ren and Yun. You would cause them to go forth. You would allow them. You would use them mainly for your glory. You would use them to make you look good. You would use them to do what you want done and what you have called them to do. Give them strength. Give them today what they need. Give them strength. Allow the Holy Spirit to come upon them and speak what you want them to speak. Give their voices strength to proclaim what you have put on their hearts. Father God, we beg you. We beg for your Holy Spirit right now to come down upon this place. Father, you have said that you will give if we ask and we ask in Jesus' name. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this divine opportunity and this divine connection. This opportunity to hear from you through our Chinese brothers. We ask, Lord, that our hearts would be open to receive everything that you have given and that you are giving and you are pouring out through them. We ask that you would speak through them your words of life and that their tongues would be loosened and they would speak whatever you give to them to speak. They would not hold back, but they would bring it forth in power and in the anointing of God in Jesus' name. Yes, Lord. Hallelujah. Thank you, Father, for this opportunity, Lord God, to gather together with my brothers from China, Father. Thank you, God, that you have brought them, you have raised them up, Lord, as an example to us, Father God, of what you can do with willing hearts that are ready to serve you. And now today, Father God, I pray for an open heaven, Lord. I pray for an open heaven over this place and an open heaven over their lives. Father, I pray you would speak directly to them, Lord God. You would just fill them overflowing with your word, Lord God. Father, I bless them. Thank you, Father God, for their faithfulness to serve you, Lord God, and their willingness to come all the way to America and all the way over here, Lord God, for such a time as this, Lord God. Thank you for this divine moment, Lord God, that you have orchestrated, Lord God, you brought together. And I bless them. I speak the blood of Jesus over them. And I speak, I just ask that you would give them a fresh word, a word of boldness, a word of courage would come forth. They would not care what anyone else thinks, but they would only care what you think, Lord God. Thank you, Jesus. Yes. Amen. You want me to use this one? Yeah, we'll put it on. Is it on now? Yeah. Amen, amen. We greet you all in the name of Jesus. Now I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to do something special this morning. So now each one of you are going to start to speak to yourself. And you're going to use some statements to yourself. First of all, I want you to use your right hand and clap yourself on your heart on the left side, if you don't know where it is, it's right here. And you say this to your heart, I am precious. I am precious. And I am important. And I am loved by living God. I am accepted by living God. There is nothing wrong with me because I am in Jesus Christ. Amen. So do you know what you are? I am precious. And I am priceless. I'm so precious. And you are so precious that God was willing to sacrifice his son for your salvation. And God was willing to be in Christ and crucify himself so that you and I may live life that is worth living. None of you are any outcast anymore. Absolutely not. We are all one in Jesus Christ. We belong to this global body of Jesus Christ. The temple, the holy temple that God has promised that the latter temple, temple's glory is going to be greater than the first one. Amen. So get ready for good times. Get ready for more of God's glory upon your life and get ready to be obedient. It's very important to hear the word of God, but it is as important, if not even more important for us to obey what the Lord speaks to us. And you know, the Lord usually speaks to us things that we don't want to hear. And that's why we forgot them so easily. Because it's unpleasant, it's challenging, and he seems to have a tendency to stretch us all the time. He's never satisfied of our level of faith. He's never satisfied of the presence of the glory upon us because he wants to fill us overflowing. Amen. And that overflow is meant to become something, and it is something that is in, will come out from us and is so packed with God's presence that it will start to influence our neighborhood, our neighbors, our families, our extended family. They start to see Jesus in us. Now this morning, I will share you something, what is happening in a house of Buddha. And when I say this, I'm, my target is to share what God is doing in this, these countries where Buddhism is the religion, and people are worshiping Buddha as their God, as their Lord. And because in China, we believe that Buddha is not the Lord. Amen. That was a good amen right there. And we also believe that none of the millions of Hindu gods is the Lord. The Lord. Amen. And we also believe that Muhammad is not the Lord. None of these images and idols are the Lord. Because there is only one Lord, and we have privilege to know him, and his name is what? Jesus. Amen. Jesus is the Lord. And that's why we want every person who lives in this world, to know that there is only one Lord, and his name is Jesus Christ. There's only one God who was so great, and so superior, that he was willing to die for our sins. And through that process, he is, he has prepared salvation for our sins. Deliverance for our sins. There's only Jesus. There is Jesus and nothing else. Amen. And I really want you to be as excited about Jesus as the Chinese believers are. Jesus is everything for them. And they would do everything to obey everything Jesus have told them. So that they, one day, may hear, like the brothers were sharing earlier, you good and faithful servant. Your level of goodness, your level of faithfulness is always measures how much of Jesus is in you and is coming from your life to the world. The people do not see Jesus unless we show them Jesus. Amen. This is as simple as it is. God has not anymore going to send Jesus in any other shape than you and I. We are called to be little Jesuses wherever we are. Extraying Jesus to everybody. Now, this is the story about the gospel starting to touch the center of presence of Buddhism goes like this. Now, you know that up in Himalaya, the presence of Buddhism is very, very strong. I remember first time going to Lhasa, Tibet, which is the very epicenter of Buddhism. Potala Palace, Potala Temple, which is on the mountain side, just outskirt of Lhasa, Tibet, the capital of Tibet. That is the place where most of the Lamas, Dalai Lamas has been educated and they come out from that institution. And the presence of darkness is so strong in Tibet because of this one simple reason. There are so many thousands and tens of thousands of people who are worshipping Buddha 24-7 every day. And I don't know if you have heard this, but every elderly Buddhist person, no matter where they are, they have a dream and a vision about the last days on the earth. They want to please Buddha. And what they do to end of their lives, when they are, when we, many people in the West, they retire, what do they do? They start to make their way from their home towards the temple in Lhasa, towards the Potala Temple. And what way do they travel? They don't travel with their horses, they don't travel with cars, they don't even walk. They take one step like this and then they kneel down and they go on their faces and they pray. And then they stand up again and they take one step. And they may travel like this hundreds of miles. And their only hope is that when I reach to the front presence of the temple, so that I can see the temple, that that would be my last step and I will die. Then I'm a successful follower of Buddha. So, everywhere along the highways in Tibet, you see people doing this. One feet at a time, ground on their faces, all the dirt of passing by cars and buses will be on their face. It may be raining, it may be snowing, they just pray and they take one step at a time. Their religion is squeezing out all life from them. And I'm 100% sure that the heart of Jesus is bleeding. Look at these people, why, why nobody has gone and share about me? They don't know that their sins already been forgiven. They don't know anything about me. I'm the savior of the whole world, including the Buddhist world. Why there's nobody going and sharing the gospel to them? I'll share one story, a testimony of a Chinese missionary. This dear sister, I know her very well. She has been in the ministry since she was about 12 years old. And we have big numbers of very powerful ministers of the world in China who are women. I don't know how this fit to this audience, but I have to be honest, more than 70% of our Bible teachers and our evangelists are women in China. For that simple reason that most of the men during the past years of 80s communist regime, they were always looking what are the men doing. And it was very difficult for the men to travel anywhere in China. But the woman who were unmarried, they were able to go everywhere and they were preaching the gospel. So this sister was one of those from age of 12. She has been ministering and leading thousands of people to the Lord Jesus. Establishing many, many churches all over the central China. And then somewhere the time, because China is changing and it became more and more difficult as a single woman to continue in the ministry. She felt I have to find a husband. And she found a husband and they got married. And they settled to the province of Liaoning, which is in one of the Manchurian provinces in northeast of China. And they started to build their life together as a new wed couple in the city of Shenyang. And they were 100% on the fire for Jesus. Lord Jesus, we want to continue to serve you together. The husband was a believer. He was a follower of Jesus. And the wife was this dear sister. After they'd been married just couple of weeks. And everything was so wonderful. Now I'm not alone anymore. She was already almost 30 years old. And she was so happy. Now I'm going to build up my own family and we will continue to serve the Lord here. And it's perfectly legal. It's perfectly alright. Unless God have a special purpose for your lives. Wherever we are and we don't have any special revelation of anything. We just should do the regular thing to share Jesus to people that we are. And she was doing that. But about few years later, one morning when this sister was praying. And she was honestly praying early in the morning. She heard the voice of Jesus very clearly. Sister, I need you in Lhasa, Tibet. Go to Lhasa, Tibet. And that was the last thing she wanted to hear. And she said, Lord, here I am. Send somebody else. Lord, I'm just married. We are supposed to build a family together. I cannot go to Tibet. And she shake her head and she just prayed. And then she was a whole day she was thinking about this. Next morning she was praying again and meditating before the Lord. And even stronger she heard the same voice. Sister, I need you in Tibet. I have a mission for you in Tibet. And she was totally confused. Lord, we are here in Shenyang. We are going to work for you from morning to evening. We are going to share to everybody. We are going to establish the biggest church in China for you here. But Lord, no, don't force me to go to Tibet. Next morning she started to pray again. And she knew what is coming. She hardly kneeled down before the Lord. Sister, what's wrong with you? I told you I need you in Tibet. Go to Tibet. Then she found the solution. She said, Lord, what about this morning I will tell about this to my husband. And I tell her, Lord want us to go to Tibet. And if he agrees Lord, we will go together. And everything is solved. And she looked up and said, Lord, is this okay? And she kind of felt that this should be okay. Nothing from the Lord. So next same morning she prepared a good Chinese breakfast for her husband and said, Honey, I have good news for you. The Lord spoke to me. He's been speaking to me already two mornings, three mornings. And Lord want us to go to Tibet. And the husband was in state of shock. Woman, what are you talking about? How you lost your mind? Have you ever read the newspapers? Haven't you heard the news? What are they doing to Chinese? If Chinese walk on the streets in Lhasa, they will kill you. Have you heard what has been happening? The uprising, tens of Chinese being stoned to death in Tibet. And now you are saying that God wants us to go there. Over my dead body. I am not going to go. The Lord has not said anything to me. I will stay here. And he was so upset. And he was almost ready to give up the marriage. He said, you are crazy. We are not going to have. You think we are supposed to build our family and serve the Lord here? What in the world do we do in Tibet? No, my family is not going to go to Tibet. And the sister was looking up, Jesus, did you hear that? Did it work? Next morning, she went to prayer again. Very, very happily. And she started to praise the Lord for solution to the problem. And the Lord listened everything she had to say. And then the Lord said, sister, nothing is changed. I need you in Tibet. And finally, after three weeks of a reminder. And this really tells me that God is extremely patient with us. So, don't think that I was running so fast and Jesus spoke. So, I didn't catch it. He will catch you. I guarantee he will catch you. So, finally, the sister, she decided, there is no way. I have to be obedient. If I want to keep God's anointing upon my life. If I want to make any difference for God's kingdom, I have to go. So, one morning, very early, she wrote a letter to her husband who was still sleeping. And said, my dear husband, I love you so much. And I would rather stay here with you than anywhere else. But Jesus is compelling me. I have to go to Tibet. I don't know what is going to be my mission there. But I promise, I will pray, I will fast, I will work hard. So, as soon as possible, my mission is finished. I will come back to you. And I pray that you are still waiting for me when I come back. And she took an early bus. And she started to travel from Shenyang towards Lhasa, Tibet. It took about two weeks for her to arrive to Lhasa, Tibet. And I don't think there has ever been more motivated missionary in any location than this woman was. Because she absolutely wanted to know immediately, God, what is the mission? What do you want to do through me here? So that I can return back home as soon as possible. So every day she was walking on the main streets of Lhasa, Tibet. And she was praying. She was interceding. And she was fighting a good fight. And she was asking, Jesus, what is my mission? And one day, she saw a pile of old carpets, rocks, and gilts. And there was obviously a person sitting inside, invisible. The only thing that was visible was a hand that came out from inside that pile. And obviously somebody was begging something. And as the people passed by, and the Buddhist people, they give always some help if somebody is begging. So that every time somebody put the money here, the hand disappeared. And then after a little while, it came back empty. And this sister, she was passing by. And as she had passed about this far from the pile, she heard the voice of the Holy Spirit saying to her very firmly, Go back and hug the person who is inside that pile. And she said, Lord, I don't even know if it's a man or woman. I don't know what's the problem. Obviously that person want to be undercover. So Lord, I pray for that pile right here. Powerfully. I bless them in the name of Jesus. And the Lord said to her, No. Go there, kneel down, and hug the person inside. So she went there. She removed the top of the pile. And she saw the face of a young Tibetan woman. Which has totally been destroyed by leprosy. She could see the bones on her face. And the only part of her body that was not affected by leprosy, was that one hand that came out. Four years earlier, this young woman who had been living far away up on Himalaya in her home village. It was discovered that she got the first white spot of leprosy. And within four years, the leprosy has eaten her flesh into the bone in different parts of her body. And in China, you become an outcast immediately. And that separation is much tougher than it was you to leave the Amish church. You are totally disgrace to everybody. Nobody want to have anything to do. And for four years, during the night time, this woman had been moving closer and closer to Lhasa, Tibet. Because she knew, the only place where I can survive, if I'm able to be in the street corner and beg, and not anybody to know who is inside that pile. And when this sister, she had to kind of make a decision. And unless you are there, if I would bring it closer to you, it's as difficult to hug a person with full-blown leprosy as it would be you to go and hug somebody who is in the hospital and has a full-blown AIDS. It's as difficult. But this sister, she heard, Jesus said, this woman is your missive. This is why I sent you to Lhasa, Tibet. Now, hug her, and then bring her to your house. She had rented a little tiny room, and that's where she was living. And the Lord said, tonight, when it's dark, bring her to your house. And take care of her, and pray with her, and take oil and put on her body, and pray for her every day. This is your missive. And she was very, very caring and passionate. She bore out her life, everything to this woman. In the beginning, this Tibetan lady, young girl, she had never heard a kind word coming from any Chinese. She hated Chinese. The Tibetan people, they think all the misery of their life is coming from Chinese. It was so much hatred in her heart. But then she started to recognize and experience this special, this Chinese woman is totally different to any other Chinese I ever have met in my life. She is all the time in tears when she is taking care of me. She is feeding me, and she is just so good to me. A little by little, the love of Jesus Christ that was flowing out from this missionary woman, it started to affect the heart of this woman who was completely sick in leprosy. About three, four weeks later, after this sister has been praying, laying hands, praying every time she was touching her body and putting on that oil and things that were needed, and washing away the rotten flesh from her body, she prayed, Jesus, touch this woman, heal her for your glory, have mercy upon this woman. But she did that silently, not shouting to her in any way, just serving that woman silently in her spirit, calling upon the name, upon name of Jesus. About three, four weeks later, early one morning, the missionary was waking up by a screaming. And this woman, this Tibetan woman, was screaming with fullness of her voice. And she was saying something in Tibetan language, and the missionary did not know a word of Tibetan language, but that woman was screaming and screaming, and then she stood up from her bed, and to her biggest surprise for the missionary, she recognized that that woman has been, during the night, been completely healed by Jesus, and the leprosy is gone. And it was so beautiful, suddenly, the missionary saw, standing there in front of her eyes, 23 years old, beautiful Tibetan girl, completely restored, and having a skin like a little baby. She was so beautiful. And the Tibetan girl said to the missionary, this is all about your Jesus. Your Jesus have healed me, and I want to receive Jesus as my Lord into my life. It was a beautiful moment when the missionary and the healed Tibetan girl, they kneeled down, and she became a disciple of Jesus Christ. The very same day, they didn't delay the departure, even one day, they decided, let's make a way back to her home village, and let everybody know what is happening when Jesus come into a person's life. So, it was a wonderful afternoon, after they've been traveling more than four hours on the bus, and they arrived to the mountain road, they started to walk towards that mountain village up in the mountains. And as they came closer to the village, people started to come out from their houses, because they all recognized that Tibetan girl who is coming back towards the village, that is the same girl we cast out from this village four years ago. And they only shouted one word, Who did this? Who did this? How is it possible you don't have leprosy anymore? Who did this? Who did this? And the girl and the missionary said, they gave all glory to Jesus, it was Jesus, the Son of Living God. And that very same afternoon, 22 people received Lord Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Amen. God is building His church, even up in the Himalaya mountains. And today, we have even former Buddhist temples in the Himalaya, where all the monks have become disciples of Jesus Christ. They still stay and live in the monastery. And they still study, but they don't study the writings of Buddha anymore, they study the Living Word of God. The house of Buddha is changing for the glory of God. But many hundreds, many thousands of villagers are still looking for Jesus and need messengers like you and I to go and bring the Gospel to them and to go and bring the Gospel, as we said, all the way back to Jerusalem. And now it's my joy to invite Brother Yun, my blood brother, to come and share the Word with us. Amen. Hallelujah. Jesus has already risen from dead. And now, once again, let's exercise. Let's stand up and say to one another in Chinese, Jesus loves you. Amen. And please be seated in peace. Don't be afraid. Jesus has already resurrected from dead. And don't allow your past to hinder you for this great future that you have in Jesus Christ. And it doesn't matter if in the past you have been successful or you have been in total failure, it doesn't matter because the resurrection power of Jesus Christ will give you a new tomorrow. Amen? If there's any passage in the Bible that I love, it would be one of these the brothers were referring, they have overcome through the blood of the Lamb. That is the most precious Bible verse for myself. Amen? Amen. Do you still continue to believe that Bible is living Word of God and it's able to change us? Amen? So let's stand up together and read the Word of God. And let's read from the Gospel of John and let's go to the chapter 21, the last chapter. And it's Gospel of John chapter 21 and verse 1 to 7. Afterwards Jesus appeared again to his disciples by the sea of Galilee. It happened this way. Simon Peter, Thomas also known as Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee and the two other disciples were together. I'm going out to fish Simon Peter told them. And they said well we'll go with you. So they went out and got into the boat. But that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning Jesus stood out on the shore. But the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them friends. Haven't you haven't you any fish? No, they answered. He said throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some. And when they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of the fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, It is the Lord, he wrapped his outer garment around him for he had taken it off and jumped into the water. Amen. Let's be seated in peace. It's very important not to allow your past failures to hinder you today. Now there's something similar with all of us. You, I and the disciples of Jesus. We all have let Jesus down in our lives. We all have failed in the past. But remember the reason why you believe in Jesus and love Jesus is not because you came up to that yourself. It was because the great love of God made you love Jesus. It doesn't matter how weak you are, how big failure you are. If you have a desire to receive more of Jesus, you are at the right place today. When the Lord appears to you, everything will be changed. You will know that you have failed. When he gives up his passport to go fishing, to deny Jesus. And then he decided, I better return to my old trade and I go back fishing. And he failed big time. And early in the morning Jesus said, Friends, do you have something to eat? Do you got any fish? Now, the good thing was that Jesus was speaking to Simon Peter. Because whenever Jesus starts to speak to somebody, his words carries the power of transformation and change for our lives. And the disciples were honest, we haven't gotten one fish. And Jesus' solution was so unbelievable. He just said, you throw the nets on the right hand side of the boat. And when they obeyed the voice coming from the shore, and they throw the net, it was so packed with fish, that they hardly were able to pull it up into the boat. I have had all these days, I have been among you brothers and sisters. I've been praying, Lord, continue to speak to us. Continue to challenge and change us. Yesterday I was talking about the five bread and two fishes. They were the lunch for that one boy. And how Jesus took that and blessed. Now here, it's amazing. At the same time as Jesus was asking the disciples, do you have any fish? And they came with the fish that they got after Jesus commanded them to go and throw the net. And they were surprised, because there were fish and they were bread on the fire already. And this really tells us the reality of Kingdom of God. It's not only Jesus doing something. He wants us to be his partners, his co-workers, that whatever we got, we will bring to the same fire, and it will be mixed with that what Jesus is already providing. And Jesus said, bring in some fresh fish and put them on the fire. Together with these fishes, I have already prepared for you. I know your history. And the Bible tells, because one of the disciples counted these big fish. And he said there were 153 of them. Now I have a question to you. How many of you would be happy, if today God start to do special things in your life, and you will get the catch of your life. You will get 153 big fishes of God. Amen. And the good news was, it doesn't matter that there were so many fishes, but the net did not broke. And now you are thinking, oh, now brother Yun is giving us a key to our success. That whatever we do, it's always going to be the full catch, and it's no broken net. There are so many people who are so successful in kingdom of God, but they don't have that anymore, that relationship with Jesus. And that's I'm going to talk about. I have met so many successful servants of the God, and they are successful in the ministry, but their children, all of them have turned their back to God, and they are not following God anymore. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I have a personal testimony, and most of my testimonies, the most powerful ones, they start always when I'm at the lowest point of my life, and everything is gone. Everything is just complete mess. When I was first time in prison in 1980s, and during my first year in the prison, my son Isaac was born. They had sent me for lifetime imprisonment, but suddenly, four years later, they changed that, and they released me after four years in the prison. And then I was able to continue to preach the gospel for less than two years, and then they captured me again, and they throw me to the prison. And now, because according to the authorities, I was an unrepenting criminal. I have repeated the same crime I have been in the prison previously. So they had so many conditions, so many rules, you cannot do this, that, and that, and it was very firm. One of the first things they said, if any other prisoner ask you in the prison, what is your crime, why are you here? They said, I have to sign a paper saying, I am not going to tell them that I'm here for the sake name of the Jesus. And they said to me, if you even say one time the name Jesus in the prison, immediately we will handcuff you, and we will put chains in your legs, and we throw into the cellar, to that very low cell, solitary cell. And I, that was a great challenge to me, so I started to beg, Lord, I really expect you to interfere, I really need you to come to my misery. And I was thinking about that, if Jesus had so much compassion towards Peter, that he came and met with Peter and changed his life, Lord, have same mercy upon you, upon me, Lord, come to me, I need you, this is going to be most difficult time in my life. And you have to understand that the calling upon my life was to go and witness about Jesus, and preach about Jesus, and now that they forbid me even mention the name of Jesus, that was a great pain on me. And the reason why they were so tough towards me was, because they had heard the rumors what happened in the previous prison, when I became so bold, and I let all the prisoners to be followers of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And you have to understand, that no matter how tough our circumstances are, the ways of the Lord are so much higher to our ways, and his thoughts are so much higher, he has always his good purpose for our lives. Again in this prison there were about 800 prisoners, and they were looking at me, and they somehow they figure out that I'm really happy, I'm really peaceful, I'm totally different to everybody else, and said why have they capture, why is this man in this prison. And of course the prisoners everyday they were talking, they miss so much their life, their families, their parents, so in tears they were telling stories about their lives. And one day they came to me and they said, who are your father and mother, what did they do? And they said, what have you been doing in the past, you have to tell us something, you haven't told anything about yourself. And I had already recognized, that there were so many sickness in their bodies, everybody had some sickness in that prison. And of course the government didn't care about that, there were no medicine available for them to help them. And suddenly I remember, that when Jesus was walking on this earth, he always enter into people's suffering, into their sicknesses, and he started to set them free, through his power. And the Lord reminded to me, that these are the signs, that will follow those who believe. He didn't say those who are able to speak, it's follow those who believe. So they were pushing me, what is your father's occupation, what is he doing, what is your mother doing? And I said, my father is the doctor, above all the doctors. And when they heard, that my father is the best doctor in the world, all these sick criminals, prisoners, they came to me, and they were begging, they were begging me to help them. In China there is a saying, that you have a good tree, and the honey can be found on that tree, because if you are son of a good tree, you can do the same thing, as the tree is doing. And they said to me, you are son of a good doctor, is there any healing, any help? We don't have any medicine, but is there any help for us? I said, anyone can be healed, without medicine, it's possible. When they heard, that my father is a doctor, a lot of sick people came to me, begging me to help them, I can't get out, my body hurts. Because Chinese people, believe in Qi Gong, and acupuncture. Chinese they love this pressure massage, Qi Gong, and they believe everything is released, when there is an expert doing that. And also to receive a massage, and the good thing about massage, you get access to the people, you can lay your hands on the people, when you give them massage. My biggest problem, because everything else was ready, and I was ready to move, but they have forbid me, to do that, in the name of Jesus. But you know, it was so good, if I would only been able, to release those powerful word, in the name of Jesus, through the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, it would be all okay, and I would be perfectly operative. And that was the moment, when the Holy Spirit reminded me, about another word, Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. These two words, Amen, Hallelujah. They forgot to forbid me, and sign the paper, not to say, Hallelujah, Amen. They only said, don't say the name of Jesus. And I said, when I start to give you massage, and it start to hurt, you just release your word, say, Amen. Hallelujah. And I explained, what these words mean, and they totally believed, and they started to repeat. And when it feels very good, and you feel your blood is running, and it's very pleasant, you said, Amen. Hallelujah. These two words, released wonderful happening. And every person, I lay my hands on, and I started to repeat with them, these two words, God's power came upon them, and they were instantly healed, in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. I did not say a word, that I'm actually an undercover preacher. I just told them these two words. And you know, I became quite famous, in the prison. And the other prisoners, they sent a message, to the warden, and to the leadership, of the prison, what is happening, when I am massaging people. And suddenly, the policeman, and the warden, and the director, they come to me, and they said, we have heard, that your father, is a very, very famous doctor. And as you have been, giving this Qigong, pressure massage, to people, they are completely healed. And these warden, they said, they said to me, would you mind, to massage me, I have so much pain, in my body. And I said, yes, this is very simple. As I give you some pain, you start to say, ha, ha, hallelujah. Amen. Amen. And when the policeman, and the warden, started to be healed, by shouting, hallelujah, and amen, everybody wanted, to come to me, in the prison. It's so important, that we have, God's presence, upon our lives. That's why, I was emphasizing, last night, we need, that glorious presence, of kingdom of God, upon us, every day. When you have, God's presence, in you, you don't need, to go look for people, people are looking for you. When God, started to do, these miracles, the leadership, of the prison, they make a decision, we are going to, transport you, to the meeting hall, of the prison, and that's going to be, your office, and people can, come to you, and you will serve them, there. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And I was so, released, because I got, this big room, all alone, and I was, able to concentrate, in my prayer, to Lord, because there were, nobody else, except when, I allowed them to come, to be healed. And, as I was, supposed to be, the teacher, to all the others, there was a library, there, and, and, and I was, able to study, different subjects. And, then they, I was the one, who delivers, occasionally we get, some newspapers, to the prison, and when I was, delivering them, to these, prisoners, to read, inside, I just wrote, few words, of the gospel, into the newspaper, and, and send them to them, because they had not, denied me to write, anything. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And, and I also was the one, who was controlling, the loud speakers, of the prison, where the music, would go, and occasionally, I just step in, and I sang, a song, a short song, into the loud speaker, from the word of God, without mentioning, name of Jesus. One day, a delegation, the leadership, of the prison, three men, they came to me, and together, they had a doctor, and I, I was shocked, they came to me, into my room. And I was sure, that somebody has figured out, that those personal singings, that I have had, they have actually been, scripture songs. I was so frightened. I was so frightened. And I, I rushed to the, the recording, the equipment, and I closed it, immediately, because I thought, it has to do with the song, that was going on. And, but the, three warden, they said to me, this man, he is the, he is the, the chief doctor, of the prison hospital, and he has something important, to tell you. And immediately, I was thinking, now this is not good news, he may have heard, that there is a competition, between him and myself, and I have no license, to perform, any kind of medical services. I could hardly believe, what he said to me, he said, these warden, have told me, that when you are, giving this massage, and people are shouting, these two words, they are immediately, released from their sicknesses. And then, this man, he shared, his problem, he said, my old, my old father, who also, was a doctor, he had a stroke, in his brain, and he had been bleeding, and now, he is paralyzed, at home. And the doctor saw, that I was so frightened, and he said, don't be afraid, this is good news, I have come, to ask you, to help, and to come, to massage, my father. He said, we whole family, we are all doctors, but none of us, have been able, to help, my father, he is paralyzed, and he is laying, on his bed, and he cannot move. And then, he said, if you are able, to help, my father, I promise you, that your, your time, in the prison, will be reduced, and you will be set free, earlier, and also, as thank you, to you, I will give you, opportunity, you can come, to our dining room, to eat, together with us. And I have to tell, this foreman, the truth, I said, I know nothing, about Qigong, I know nothing, about massage, I'm a preacher, and I've been, laying my hands, on the people, and, and I've been, praying for them, in the name of Jesus. But the doctor said to me, it's not a problem, how you do it, come to my home, and just do it, there. Hallelujah. And, when they started, to transfer me, to the home, of this doctor, his wonderful home, the three, warden, they absolutely, wanted to join, and they said, we have to, see that you don't, escape. And I said, I, I'm a believer, of Jesus Christ, I am not going, to run anywhere, except, if the Lord, asks me to go. And when I came, to the home, of this doctor, I saw that, he had already prepared, I saw the table, I saw so many, kind of fruit, and anything, good to eat, the whole table, was overloaded, and he just invited me, to come and eat. And, I totally, regret, what had happened, few hours, earlier, because, when I knew, that they were going, to bring me, to his house, I told a couple, of other brothers, in my, in the prison, I said, now I have to go, and pray, for that sick man, in the name of, would you mind, to pray with me? And the brother said, no, let's make a deal, you go, and we will pray, we will all now, fast, and pray, we don't eat, anything. So, I joined that pact, and now, I came to all that food, and I completely, regret it. It's important, that whatever you do, you do it, together, do not do that, alone. Look, that there are people, joining you. I'm so happy, because Lord has, encouraged me, that I always had, a group of people, around me, believers, of Jesus Christ, and if they were not, I just make them, to believers, so I got some fellowship, with them. And I had the temptation, of my life, because, and I saw all that fruit, I didn't know, that them even, existed, in China, and I was not able, to eat, because of the pact, I did with the brothers. And I have to be honest, I told to this doctor, and he was totally amazed, I said, for this, because of, be able, to be instrument, for God, to touch your father, I have decided, not to eat, and not to drink, anything, don't, don't, don't be sad, about this, it's all, for the sake, of your father. And, the, the policeman, who were there, and the, the, the son, who was there, they were thinking, oh, he's just afraid, that he, because we are here, so that, we will go, and, afterward, and he said to his mother, I'm sure, he will eat, after we depart. And, after the son, and the policeman, has left the room, and the mother, she wanted me, to eat, and I said, I'm not eating, right now, and then I started, to share, gospel to them, I asked this old woman, I said, do you believe, that God, exists? And, and I, I said that, to bring, solve your problem, is very simple, but do you believe, in God? And they both, the, the husband, and the wife, the old couple, they said, if he heals us, we believe. And I said to them, no, no, no, the order is wrong, you have to first believe, and then you will see. And I said, the order is like, you first believe, and as you believe, you will see, what he's able to do, and he will heal you. And I, when I asked them, to join a prayer, of sinners, together, they joined me in that prayer, and, and they, they accepted Lord Jesus. And then I started, to release, the hallelujah, and amen, from the, his body. And I told, and I, I just told them, now, the power, of God, and his kingdom, has access to your body, and I have squeezed in, that power, into your body. And I said, after I go back, to the prison, to myself, you continue, to repeat, these two words, hallelujah, amen. And when I went, back to the cell, I still did not eat, anything, together with brothers, we were fasting, and praying, the whole night, and asking God, to hit with his power, that ailing, brother, at home. How many of you believe, that there is power, in prayer? Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. And the bible said, if there are two or three, gathered in his name, and they pray, in my name, that everything they, they release, will be released, in heaven. Everything they bind, will be bind, in heaven. And of course, our prayer, that night was, that God, will appear, to this man, who was paralyzed, and laying in his bed. And four o'clock, next morning, when this old man, was on his bed, he suddenly felt, that somebody hit him, with a hand, on his back. And he opened his eyes, and said, who, who hit me? And the power of God, started to work, in his body, and he started, to move, in the bed. And his wife, woke up, and to her biggest surprise, he saw the paralyzed man, to sit, by his bed, and then stand up, and start to walk. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. That is the glory, of God. And his wife, was so excited, she started, immediately, to make dumplings, and, and, and noodles, and, and all kind of food. And she said, to her daughter, who also was a doctor, he said, this man, who was here last night, he is greater, than any doctor, any one of you doctors. And she commanded, her daughter, you have to go, to the prison, you have to get, that man here, so he can eat, with us. We are so thankful, what has happened. Hallelujah. And from that day on, this old man, was every day, walking, from, out from his house, on the street, towards the prison, and back. And he was just shouting, Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. And this was really, to the leadership, of the prison, and to that prison, doctor. And it, it looks like, this man is real. He really, is able, to heal people. And the doctor, gave a testimony, to the prison leadership. My father, was paralyzed, by the stroke, in his bed. And after he treated him, my father, is now walking. This is a miracle. And they did, an amazing decision. They decided, that they are going to, send me, with the, I still have to have the, the handcuffs in my hands, and in a police car, they brought me, to number one, massage institute, in China. And I became, a student there. Every day, I was studying, how to massage. And then, they said, after you graduate, you can come back, to the prison, and you are appointed, to do this, in the prison. Hallelujah. And this became, and I got, my first certificate, to a trade. I'm totally, educated, Qigong massage, I have the papers, in my hands. And I understood, how truly, is the word of God. You remember, yesterday, I said, that one day, when I was in the lowest point, of my life, Jesus came, and he said, my son, I am opening, a door for you, no man is able to shut. I know all the suffering, I know all the suffering, you are going through, right now, but when I open, a door for you, no man is able to shut it. I could hardly, the transition, I got so much, freedom, inside the prison, I could move, everywhere, I was the, I was one, of the doctors, in the prison, and I had full, access, to all, the prisoners. And, and that was, an opening, for a ministry, opportunity, to me, night time, I was still, in the prison, but the day time, the warden, they started, to bring me, to their personal, homes, and I was praying, I was massaging, their wives, and their, grandparents, and I was sharing, the gospel, and visiting, and then, for the night, I returned back, to myself, in the prison. How many of you, desire, have a new, meeting, with Jesus Christ? Amen. Jesus has promised, those who loved me, I love them, and I'm going to, my beauty, to them. I don't know, what is your personal, today. Do not, your past, to hinder, Jesus, to appear, to your life, into your life. Maybe, a real doctor, has told you, I cannot help you, I cannot cure you. Maybe, circumstances, in your life, has become, like, you are executed, there's no hope, nobody can change, anything. just because, Jesus is alive, you can face, tomorrow. Let us all stand up, before the Lord. Jesus is alive, I know, Jesus is alive, He has my sorrow, living, just because, He lives. Hallelujah. I, in the name of Jesus, I ask you to raise up, your hands. I pray, one sentence, and please repeat, after me. Resurrected Lord, Jesus, we love you. Thank you, for your mercy, towards us. Thank you, for your mercy, towards us. I need you, to appear, in my life. I need you, to appear, in my life. I desire, to hear, your voice. I desire, to hear, your voice. So that, I may know, whether I have to, turn left, or right. I desire, to experience, your abundance. I desire, to enter, into that, abundant life, with you. I ask you, to restore, my relationship, with you. And restore, my relationship, with you. I pray this, in the name of, Jesus Christ. Amen. Hallelujah. Let's give all glory, to God. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Brother Yun (1958–present). Born Liu Zhenying on January 1, 1958, in Nanyang, Henan, China, Brother Yun is a Chinese house church leader, evangelist, and author, renowned for his role in the Back to Jerusalem movement. Raised in poverty, he converted to Christianity at 16 in 1974 after his mother’s renewed faith led to his father’s miraculous healing from lung cancer, sparking a family revival. Lacking a Bible, Yun fasted and prayed for one, receiving it after a divine vision guided evangelists to deliver it. He memorized Scripture, including the Gospel of Matthew, and began preaching at 16, reciting entire chapters to villagers, leading to widespread conversions despite China’s clampdown on Christianity in the 1980s and 1990s. As a house church leader, he faced severe persecution, arrested multiple times, tortured, and imprisoned for over seven years, including a 74-day fast he claims sustained him miraculously. In 1997, he escaped Zhengzhou Maximum Security Prison, attributing it to divine intervention, and fled to Germany, where he gained asylum. Yun authored The Heavenly Man (2002) with Paul Hattaway, detailing his persecution and miracles, and Living Water (2008), sharing his teachings; the former won the UK Christian Book of the Year in 2003. Married to Deling, with two children, he now ministers globally, advocating missions to unevangelized nations. He said, “We shouldn’t pray for a lighter load to carry, but a stronger back to endure!”
