When Pastor Jung Myeong Seok was developing his hometown, Wolmyeongdong, as God’s Natural Temple,

he had to halt the construction because there were no rocks anymore.

There was only a little space left to go to place rocks next to the Wolmyeongdong lake, but even though he searched for rocks all throughout Korea, there were no rocks.

Since there were no ‘materials,’ he could not build it according to the design he received.

This was during the time when Pastor Jung was almost finished with his <6-month minimal eating prayer condition>.

His followers said that there were no ‘rocks’ even though they searched all over the entire nation, but then, his brother, Pastor Jung Beom Seok received a call from someone.

The person who called said that he had big rocks that he had been collecting for several years, so he told Pastor Beom Seok to come to take a look and buy them.

When Pastor Jung and his brother went, it turned out to be a place that he went to already before 1999 when he was in Korea.

At that time, the price of the rocks was too expensive, so he just stepped in the store to check before returning without buying them.

From that time, the store had actually saved up all the rocks that he saw until the time he returned again.

Because the time had come, even the price of the rocks had been prepared.

In addition,  since the rocks had aged, their colors became more naturally toned.

Through this, Pastor Jung keenly realized that even if God and the Holy Son prepared things for a long time like this, we can gain them only after we pray, set the proper condition, and sow.  

It was a situation where a person who was looking for rocks could not find them no matter where that person went, but amazingly the owner of the rocks called, so he ended up going and finding.

If there were no ‘materials’ during the construction, even though we had ‘time and ‘technicians,’ the construction would not be able to continue. We were really worried and anxious, but the problem was resolved by reaping what we sowed.

정명석 목사가 고향 월명동을 하나님의 자연성전으로 

개발하는 중에 돌이 없어 일을 중지했습니다. 

월명동 호수 옆에 ‘돌을 쌓을 곳’이 조금 남았는데, 

한국을 다 돌아다녀 봐도 ‘돌’이 없었습니다. 

‘자료’가 없으니, 구상대로 만들 수 없었습니다. 

그때 정명석 목사는 <6개월 절식 기도>를 

거의 마치고 있을 무렵이었습니다. 

전국을 다 돌아다녀 봐도 ‘돌’이 없다고 했는데, 

동생인 정범석 목사에게 누가 전화를 걸어 왔습니다. 

전화내용은 몇 년 전부터 모아 놓은 큰 돌이 있으니

 와서 보고, 사 가라고 하는 것이었습니다.

가 보니 1999년 이전에 한국에 있었을 때 

돌을 본 곳이었는데, 

그때는 돌이 너무 비싸서 못 사고, 

그곳의 땅만 밟고 그냥 돌아왔던 곳이었습니다.

그때 본 돌들을 지금까지 모아 놓은 것입니다.

때가 되니, 돌 값도 준비된 값이었습니다. 

또한 돌이 오래되어서 색깔도 자연스럽게 되어 있었습니다. 

이를 통해 정명석 목사는 하나님과 성자 주님이 

이같이 오랫동안 준비하셨어도 우리가 기도하고 

조건을 세우며 뿌려야 얻을 수 있다는 것을 

절실히 깨달았습니다. 

돌을 구하는 사람이 가서 찾을 수가 없는 상황이었는데, 

신기하게 돌 주인이 전화를 하여 가 보게 됐습니다. 

건축을 하다가 ‘자재’가 없으면, 

‘시간과 기술자’가 있어도 건축을 못 하니, 

참으로 애가 타는 상황이었는데,  

뿌린 대로 거둬들여서 이 문제가 해결되었습니다.
