"Heavenly Man". Bro. Yun, a great missionary from China, from a poor farmer's family from Henan Province, was called at age 16 to teach the Gospel in China, and went to the west and south
of China and then overseas. Where Bible books were scare, and had to be hidden from China authorities, He suffered great persecution, horrific torture, beatings,and imprisoned 30 times, even covered with excrement (one-third of his married life), including his family members who were also Christians.
Many times they prayed to Jesus and Father with many tears of petition, visions, miracles of escape, healings, singing songs of delight and received multiple blessings. He and co-workers and Leaders united the many house Churches, more then 50 million members. The Chinese Government has controlled of the Three Self Organised Churches which also comprised a few hundred million Christians. China was hungry for God's bread and terribly thirsty of his Word! Just to mention an example, when they heard a Gospel preacher coming, a few buses would be arranged to transport people in China to 80-100 miles to hear the preacher. When Bro. Yun preached, his testimony could be heard by a ninety thousand Chinese!
Even, four years before the Olympic Games was staged in Beijing, 35 million adult Chinese learned English to promote tourism, but, by God's grace, they were learning in preparation of God's message to come.
Bro. Yun was united with his family members, wife Deling, teenage son, Isaac, and daughter, Yilin, in Germany in September, 2001 with Western Christians. There he set his base-Back to Jerusalem- along the Silky Road where missionary work started from China during Marco Polo's time, two millennia ago! China has more than a few hundred millions Christians and send their own missionaries along the Silk Road, where Buddhist, Muslim, and Hindu religions dominated.
On his last escape to the West, with his legs both crushed, he limped to the the three main gates which were miraculously ajar (normally closed tight) and passed by sixteen guards like they were blinded to him, because a voice assured him of his safe escape. By the time he reached the taxi, his legs were normal again without him realising them!

Where do we go after this life? By Anthony Lim. 27 June, 2009.
1. Where were we before earthly birth?
We were told in the scriptures that we were spirits in the heavenly realm when God presented his Plan of Happiness or Salvation to all spirits, including Satan and his angels. in the Council of Heaven. Lucifer wanted to force all to believe in God while Jesus Christ presented the alternative choice--the free agency to choose or not to follow God. When Christ's Plan was accepted, two-thirds of the spirits rejoiced and wanted THE FREE AGENCY TO CHOOSE while the one-third spirits followed Satan to rebel against God and were removed to earth. Here is where they tried any deception to thwart God's Plan of Happiness for mankind, with so much confusion, violence, nultiple religions amd philosophies, pleasures of life, ideals, ideas, idols, etc. to beckon and entice men to his cause, until now. D&c 29:32, 36, D7C 49:17, D&C29D&c138:55-56, Moses3:5, D&c6:36, Moses6:51.Abr.3:22,23, Gen. 2:5,
Where do the spirits of men go to when they die as humans? When we were humans beings where did we come from? Where were we before we were born in the mortal world? For what purpose are we born here? Is there life after mortal death?
These are some basic questions we all struggle to know.
Many people pursue their zenith goals by whatever means----through pride, greed, malice, cheating, robbery, scheming scams, murder, slander, sex, pleasure, pornography, etc, with different forms of idols. ----possessions, privileges, and positions and power. Many lack the desire to pursue spirituality.
2. What is the purpose of life here on earth?
Life on earth is a probation estate to experience body flesh and bones senses to house the spirit of men, to improve and develop our talents, to test if we follow God or not, and our purpose on earth is to have faith in God, repent for our sins, sanctify ourselves, and procreate and build God’s Kingdom. Of course, many have forgotten because there is a veil between the spirits and the temporal so that we need to seek out the truth anb purpose of life here, to obey God and build his Kingdom.
3. Where do we go after physical death?
Physical death is the separation of the flesh from the spirit. Upon death, the spirits are sent to the spirit world---in spirit prison or paradise.
4. Where is the spirit world and for what purpose are we sent there?
The spirit world is in this world, a shoulder above us., also a probation and preparation, for improvement, instruction or education where the spirits are chastened or improved, where a second chance to know the gospel is given, faith, repentance, hope and charity may be exercised, a place of waiting for the resurrection or redemption of the body. The spirit world is where the people still practice their religions, or change their faiths. A veil is fixed between the spiritual and the temporal, where the spiritual objects are invisible to those in the temporal.
Knowledge of the gospel can save a man upon obeying the commandments. While the joy, glory and happiness of the spirit world are safeguarded so as made unknown to us to avoid any increase of discontent with this life to end life here. More friends there to greet us, more intelligence, more joy and exquisite, more organised society and education than here, knowlege and mobility can be gained by mere thinking and you are there in an instant!
The spirit goes to where God is.....the Holy Ghost to quide and direct us. To be in paradise for the righteous is great joy and happiness; for the wicked they are in the spirit prison; everyone will be given the chance to learn about God and his commandments. There they await resurrection---where the spirit will be united to the new body as refined as the spirit--which can appear in and out of solid walls. Thereafter, we await the Judgement Day when Vthe Savior, Christ comes to judge us. Are you ready to face God? We await The Second Coming of Christ or we prepare or sanctify ourselves before we die. Either way, preparation in self purification is the key to meeting God.
With lots of love,
Anthony Lim

To err is human, to forgive divine
Seek to help save souls, not to destroy them. There is more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents than there is over ninety and nine just persons that need no repentance. (Luke 15:7) Be ready TO FORGIVE our brother on the first intimations of repentance and asking forgiveness and should we even forgive our brother, or even our enemy, before he repents or asks for forgiveness, our Heavenly Father would be equally as merciful unto us.
When one does not forgive another of his sin or the sinner, one rejects the atonement of the Savior, who has taken all sins unto Himself to save mankind. In a sense, he rejects the power and anthority of God; then the one who does not forgive another bears the greater sin.
