Great Construction

The Power of “Johrei”

     It is not self-praise when I say that I am exercising a divine power so magnificent that no words can adequately describe it. Such a power has never been recorded in human history. As this is well-known by church members, I will here write for non-members.
     People who have suffered from serious diseases over a long time and who have not been cured by medical treatment, popular cures or faithcures, come to us. They receive Johrei and are astonished at its supreme effect. They are then told that not only are they healed of their diseases, but that they will be endowed with the power to heal others.
     To their great wonder, they are bestowed with the power to heal others after completing an introductory course of only three days. It is with great uneasiness that they administer Johrei for the first time. However, the recipients are healed and warmly thank them. It is not the healed, but the novices who are more astonished at the effect of Johrei. They are either pleased, or they are filled with great wonder that they have been endowed with such a great power. They read divine books and ask questions of ministers, and then they understand the true merits of World Messianity. Then, they heal many other diseases. Their faith in the religion is solidified. Thus they become regular members.
