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!”

Scriptures
Sermon Transcription
And the Lord spoke to them one morning very clearly. They heard the Lord saying, I am going to set free Brother Yun, and he will come first to your house. Our God, Jesus, is so truly, He is so alive, and He answers to our prayer. And His ears are not closed, they are always open. And the Holy Spirit was telling me so clearly in that text, He is saying about how this back to Jerusalem, that the gospel will be preached to all the nations as a testimony. This is not, it's not impossible, it will happen. There are so many realities in our world. Islam is very real. Hinduism is very real. Communism, Atheism is real, but they are not the truth, because there only is one truth, and He is Jesus Christ. Heaven and earth may disappear, but the Word of God will remain in power. And back to Jerusalem is not a gossip anymore, it's not a fair tale anymore, it's reality, it is happening right now. I know that when I get to heaven, and I'm going to ask Jesus, who was the one who brought me out from the top security prison, He will show me, it was this angel, I sent him to prepare a way for you to get out. Our Lord Jesus is that, He wants to be so present in our lives, and He is faithful, and He is able. I have this crazy idea, that the same thing that was happening in the first generation of the disciples, they had a lot of encounters with angels, and they were talking to them, and they were guided by the angels, this will happen all over again at the end time. The angels will make the way for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And I am so thankful that God is going to take in use all the satellite, and TV stations, and media, and internet, to bring this only power that can change the life of people, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah, that's why it's so important, don't allow your past to hinder you to enter that future with Jesus Christ. America will be changed, Europe will be changed, the world will be raised up from there. And we believe that the Kingdom of God will change Europe, will change Middle East, and will change Far East, as like as this nation. Oh, it's so pity that we have so limited time, it's endless to share about what God is to do. I want to encourage you all brothers and ministers of the Lord, I just want to say this from my heart, if God can use me, He can use anyone. Amen. Jesus didn't call you to become a pastor, or to become a preacher, He called you to become His disciple. Jesus said, you, go you and make all the nations to my disciples. All what I have taught you to command them to keep, everything I have taught you to keep. Hallelujah. This is what we all need in our lives. Amen. Don't allow your religious background to hinder you to enter into the presence of God in your life. Amen. Hallelujah. Do you need this in your life? Hallelujah. So in the name of Jesus we just make room and we kneel all together.
