Yonggi Cho says the Holy Spirit taught him in his book The Fourth Dimension,
“We should always try to visualize the end result as we pray…. If you have not visualized clearly in your heart exactly what you hope for, it cannot become a reality to you….” …. Through visualizing and dreaming, you can incubate your future and hatch the results.”
He also says in his book,
“1) Visualize a clear-cut goal or idea in your mind; 2) have a burning desire for your objective; 3) pray until you get the guarantee or assurance from God that what you desire is already yours; 4) speak or confess the end result into existence.”
“In that way, with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can incubate that which we want God to do for us…. We should always try to visualize the end result as we pray. If you have not visualized clearly in your heart exactly what you hope for, it cannot become a reality to you….”
“We have taught our people how to … visualize success …. Through visualizing and dreaming, you can incubate your future and hatch the results.”
So what did David Yonggi Cho do wrong? Maybe like Kong Hee, God owes him an apology?
A false gospel that points you to a false god wont save you.
The Gospel Herald reports,
David Yonggi Cho, Founder of World’s Largest Church, Found Guilty of Breach of Trust, Corruption
David Yonggi Cho, founder of world’s largest Pentecostal congregation, was found guilty by South Korean court for committing breach of trust and corruption of 130 billion won (US $21 million), according to Yonhap News Agency.
Cho, senior pastor of Yoido Full Gospel Church, was sentenced to a three-year prison term with a five year reprieve and ordered to pay a penalty of 50 billion won (US $4.7 million) by Seoul Central Court on Feb. 20, 2014.
The court also sentenced Cho’s elder son Hee-jun, secretary general of Yeongsan Christian Cultural Center and former chairman of Next Media, to a three-year prison term without reprieve. He was formally arrested before the court ruling, the Yonhap News reported.
In 2002, while serving as chairman of a church-affiliated newspaper Kookmin Ilbo, Hee-jun sold the church 250,000 shares of stock in I-Service at 86,984 won (US$80.06) per share, which was much more expensive than the market price of 24,032 (US$22.12) per share, the hankyoreh reported.
Prosecutors identified David Cho as an accomplice to the crime of breach of trust, claiming that Cho used the money to help his son recover losses made in stock investements.
According to hankyoreh, Cho had directed the transaction, which the church has “absolutely no need for” and resulted in a loss, to be dealt with as quietly as possible despite his full knowledge of the potential “uproar” from the elders and congregation if they find out.
The church’s loss of 131 billion won resulted in 29 church elder’s filing the lawsuit in 2011, accusing him of embezzling US $20 million. In addition, prosecutors acquired evidence of tax evasion during the investigation, where Cho was suspected of evading 35 billion won (US $3.3 million).
While Cho has denied the allegation, he has also been criticized for privatizing church assets.
Although the judge believes that Cho should be severely punished for committing breach of trust, especially for a person of his status in society, he gave a light sentence on Cho’s tax evasion in consideration of Cho’s long-term contributions to the society, the Yonghap News reported.
The court sentenced Hee-jun to three years in prison without reprieve as the main culprit, who tried to evade responsibility – placing his personal financial loss on the church and the blame on others.
Cho, 75, founded Yoido Full Gospel Church in 1958 and it now claims more than 450,000 followers. His proteges have built their own “disciple churches” across the country, creating a congregation of around 800,000, with Cho as the leader.

Cho, a Christian, believes…
Salvation for the soul: “When a man accepts Christ as his Saviour and his spirit comes alive, that reborn spirit becomes the master of the soul, having command over it, and uses the body as a place of residence. A person who experiences a rebirth of the spirit also experiences a rebirth of the conscience, a longing for the Word of God, a hope for the spiritual realm, and begins to communicate with God through prayer and worship and praises the Lord, and comes to feel the existence of God through every fiber of his body.”
A false gospel that points you to a false god wont save you?
The last I checked, all Christians believe in the same “false gospel”.
If you think that quote from Yonggi Cho is the gospel of Christianity then you have been misguided friend. Please use our biblical resources and listen to the scholars and pastors we advertised to understand what the Christian gospel is. You may get a wonderful surprise!
Go to their website. Read their statement of faith. They are of the assemblies of God. Tell me what you agree with their statement of faith. I think you have more agreements than disagreement with their statement of faith. What you disagree on is how big their god is to them or their interpretation of their glorious god and the means to exploit that grace.
But can you fault someone or a faith in a god of the impossible(limited by your imagination)?
Their faith, to you, maybe ridiculous but no more ridiculous, to others, than yours?
Every time when you walked into a church, you will see a man standing before a huge cross( also a tree – Galatians 3:13 >>
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: ) preaching to a congregation in front of him.
What distinguishes the two trees in the beginning was that one has a preacher/anointed wrapped around the tree (hangeth) seducing the woman( church).
Can you see it?
John 3:14 >>
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
What do you see?
The preacher( fill in all the religious titles you can think of) embraces the cross(upholds it), or the tree, and offers the fruits of the cross or tree. He said to the congregation, ” eat it and you shall be like God(Christ-like)”.
“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High(voice of god to the people).
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the CITIES thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. ”
(John 8) “Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the TEMPLE( the man of sin is in the temple), and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees( religious leaders or temple/church leaders) brought unto him a WOMAN taken in ADULTERY; and when they had set her in the MIDST…….Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts(one of the lust is to be like god or Christ) of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the BEGINNING, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The man who preaches of that cross( from that tree) to his congregation( any religious setting where he rules or becomes the mouth of god) is ACCURSED. He feeds you with both good and evil knowledge that will ultimately damn your soul/city – your history has attested to that….evil part(don’t be fooled by the good).

Satan rules the world.
Elites rule the world.
Satan must be elitist then.
How about churches? Who rules the churches?
“Please use our biblical resources and listen to the scholars and pastors we advertised to understand what the Christian gospel is. You may get a wonderful surprise!”
Why need to think? The masses who flock to churches have voted the Elites to think for them. No prizes to guess who their real master is? 😉
