Ahnsahnghong]-Fragrance of Zion - Mother Never Let Me Go-

Mother Never Let Me Go

NATION USA
NAME Wendy Romero

I would like to begin this fragrance by giving all praise and thanks to my Saviors, Father Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother Jerusalem. Without the great love of Father and Mother, I would not have purpose or meaning in life. Thank You for taking me out of Babylon and giving me the privilege of working for You, by preaching the new covenant of life and love.For many years of my life, my soul was being poisoned by the teachings of Babylon. My parents forced me to attend an all girls Catholic Middle and High School. I was being taught directly by nuns from the Catholic Church. I grew up, thinking that the father on earth was the Pope and the mother on earth was the Virgin Mary. How pitiful my life was! When I turned 13 years old, my older sister preached to me about idols and she took me to Zion for Bible studies. This was in the year 1999. The LA Church of God had been recently established in downtown LA. It looked more like a house than a church. I remember when I walked inside, Zion had a white carpet and there was a big white room with a table, chairs, and a white board. Everyone in the Church apart from a few Americans were Korean. Even the services were in Korean. The American brothers and sisters needed to wear headphones to hear the service as it was being translated by a sister in English. It was so different from all the other churches, but what I remember most is the love I felt from the people that greeted me. I learned about the Secret of the Forgiveness of Sins. After that, many months went by and my sister continuously preached to me. My heart was so hardened. I felt like I needed to give my allegiance to the Catholic Church. However, I couldn’t deny what was written in the Bible because it was so factual. It was really hard for me to accept that everything I ever believed in was a lie! I felt like my world came tumbling down before my eyes. When my parents found out that I attended the Church, they were very upset. However, I continued going to the Church of God, they made me go to a different Christian church. They thought the Church of God was a cult and wanted me to attend a different church and forget about Zion. Slowly but surely, I started to forget the true teachings of the Bible. 5 years passed by and the only truth that I could remember was the Sabbath Day and Cross Reverence is Idolatry. Those two teachings were enough to make me realize that all the churches that I attended were false because they had a cross or kept services on Sundays. I made a promise to God that when I turned 18 years old I would go back. During those 5 years I prayed to God to help me never forget the truth and to wait for me. The summer before I turned 18, I worked really hard, saved up money and bought my own car. It was the year 2004 and I graduated from high school. After 5 long years in confusion and doubt, I made a resolution to keep my promise and go back to Zion, but I had lost all contact with anyone who went to the Church. I drove by the Church in downtown LA, but the Church had moved from location and I didn’t know where it was. I looked for old pamphlets that I had saved from years ago and I found different phone numbers written on the back. As I called them, they turned out to be disconnected and wrong numbers. I looked on line and I couldn’t find the Church. I thought I was never going to find Zion again. I was giving up hope when all of a sudden I looked in an old box in my closet and found a picture of Father and Mother. I found a veil bag with 2 veils, a really old New Song Book, and another Church of God pamphlet with another phone number. I had forgotten that I had saved all of these things! I called the number on the back of the pamphlet and it was the phone number to the Church. The pastor answered the phone and gave me the Church’s address and the service times. The Church was about 45 minutes away from my house. I was so happy. Father and Mother allowed a great miracle to happen! That Friday I couldn’t sleep. I was so excited and nervous. I really hoped that when I went back to study the Bible, I wouldn’t find any discrepancies or contradictions in the Church’s teachings. That Saturday morning I filled my car with gas and drove to Zion. Now the Church was bigger and the service was in English and there were many American brothers and sisters. I walked into the morning service 15 minutes before the service began. The veil I put on was different than every one else’s and so was the New Song Book; my veil and New Song Book were outdated. I didn’t understand the sermon because I didn’t know what a lot of things meant and how they connected to one another. After the service, brothers and sisters approached me and asked who I was, I told them my story and they were all moved. They kept saying “Wow, what a miracle! After so many years you came back!”From that point on, I studied a lot and read Father’s books every night. I was so amazed by the truth. I could feel myself falling in love with God. Father and Mother allowed me to join the choir and I started to take course classes at Church so I could learn how to preach. Slowly but surely, my faith started growing and I had aspirations to be a gospel worker. In the year 2005 I was blessed with the opportunity to go visit Mother. After seeing Mother, my life changed. My faith skyrocketed and I bore many fruits. And even my fruits bore fruit! Also, with the help of Father and Mother, I was able to overcome every single obstacle. Through so much struggle, I became strong enough to take on heavy loads and many burdens, to depend solely on God, and a burning desire to go to heaven where there is no more pain and suffering developed within me. I learned to appreciate and not complain because my suffering could never compare to that of Father and Mother. Thank You, Father and Mother, for not leaving me behind. How could I keep You in my heart, being so young and having no real understanding? Now, looking back, I realize that You never let me go. You held on to me and patiently waited for me to come back to Your loving arms. Thank You for holding on to me and giving me the strength to overcome all the hardships. Mother and Father, I owe You my whole life. I will repay Your love by preaching this gospel and finding my lost brothers and sisters. I pray all of the heavenly children may unite in the world evangelism and speed Father’s Coming, shorten Mother’s suffering, and not allow anything to get in the way to the Kingdom of Heaven.
