God is Real

This testimony is actually written by my brother, Andy Leong, who is now in Oklahoma, United States.
On Nov. 6th, I was really asking God for help for my financial situation. God placed in my heart to give US$100. It was a lot of money for me to give at that time. But then I thought, I don't have enough money anyway, so I might as well give. So, on Nov. 7th, I gave my offering. I wrote on my check, "Faith Seed, Praise God!". And I wrote on the envelope all sorts of things, everywhere, all over it. I wrote, "Bills Paid Off, Debts Demolished,.....etc (you get the idea). So, I gave. That service, we were having a conference at our church and the speaker spoke on prophesying to ourselves. So that night, I went home and looked at myself in the mirror and I prophesied to myself. I said, I wanted this situation changed and that situation changed, and basically I was just prophesying what I wanted changed in my life. I was also prophesying about the call and destiny of God over my life. Just then I knew something broke in the spirit. Although I didn't have the money in hand yet, I didn't worry about money anymore. There was a peace that came over me and my countenance changed too. Well, okay, now two weeks later on Friday (our prayer meeting) which was Nov 20th, God really moved and did a MIRACLE (hallelujah). On Nov 16th, a visiting speaker (who is a prophet) prophesied over our church. God told us many things. But the first thing he said was that God is going to use our church to reach the Asian people in our state and also the Asian people in Asia. He said he saw teams going and coming back and going and coming back. So, Pas. John wanted us to pray over all the prophecies. The first one was obviously the one about the Asian nations. Pas. John asked everyone who has any Asian blood to come out and to stand in for the Asian people that we've been called to reach. So, I went out. Just then Pastor John reminded me and said that the prophecy said that I was supposed to go and come back, and not go and stay there. Then a lady came up and said that God had a word for me. Then she started to prophesy over me. Then Pastor asked those who felt that they were called to be a part of the teams going to Asia to come out and let us (the people that have Asian blood) pray over them. So, we did that. After that, people started coming up the stage and had words and things that God was showing them specifically about reaching the Asian nations. By this time, Pas John had called me up and told me to stay on the stage. Then someone else said that he had a dream earlier that week. He said that he saw himself and some other people from the church in Hong Kong. The people he saw from the church were mostly white faces but then he specifically remembered seeing me in that dream too. (Then he made a joke and said that he didn't usually dream about me..) Pas John asked me to share what was on my heart and I did. And then some more people came and gave words from the Lord and it was amazing that so many of them had me included in them. After that Pas John called the leadership of the church to come up to pray for me. He said he believed that God was calling me to be an apostle and wanted me to lead the teams to reach the Asian nations. I was already completely overwhelmed by now. Then they started praying for me. Pas. John prayed that God would impart upon me all the apostolic and prophetic anointing that he and his wife, Judith and all that the church has over me. He said that I was his son in the Lord and that he would train me for ministry. After that, he said that he wanted to take up an offering for me. In Acts 4: 32-37, the people brought offerings and laid them at the apostles' feet. Pastor John said that we were not going to use the offering buckets and told me to stand at the edge of the stage and told the church to bring the offering and place them on my feet. We have never done anything like that before. Not even for the many, many REAL apostles that have been to our church. He said that the offering was for me but it was symbolic for taking an offering to reach the Asian people. I was to stand in as the firstfruits of the ones we're going to reach. So, I went and stood there at the edge of the stage. The people started coming, everyone of them. And they were bringing their cash and checks and placing them on my feet. I couldn't even look down. It was so unreal. I had been expecting for a financial miracle but never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine that God was going to work this way. I know God was going out of His way to show me something, that it was HIM that was the one that's blessing me, not the work of any man. Like I said earlier, I couldn't look down, I didn't know how to respond. Some of my friends were already crying by this time. As for me, I didn't know if I was going to laugh or cry. I just stood there completely, completely overwhelmed. After that someone reminded Pas John about my work visa, and Pas John asked me to tell the people what all that meant. So I told them and then the church prayed for me. After that I thanked the people for what they'd done and I said that I was really in need of a financial blessing and God worked through them and did a miracle for me. I started to thank them but they all got up from their seats and started to clap and cheer to honor me. I thought, this was supposed to be a prayer meeting, not "Mr. Andy's Day" or something you know? Then Pas Judith came up and said something about me and then Pas Rhett said something else and then another elder came up and said some very nice things about me. By the time we finally began to pray for something else on our list, I had been standing up on that stage for about 35-40 minutes at least. I went back to my seat and was like, "What in the world just happened?" God is so good. So FAITHFUL! That night I couldn't sleep. I just sat up on my bed and stared into blank space. God met me spiritually, financially, physically, emotionally all at once. It was like, "BAM!", and God just met me. My "suddenly" came. The bible is full of "suddenlies" where God just all of a sudden, without any warning, moved strongly upon His people. In our church, every member has an intercessor assigned to them. The intercessors would call out each member by name to God everyday and pray for us everyday. The intercessor assigned to me is Adrean Johnson. She is a very nice motherly African American lady. Everytime she saw me, she would ask me what I wanted her to pray for me. And I would say, finances, finances. So, then after that whenever she saw me, she would say, "Has the finances come yet? has it come yet?" And I would say, "Not yet, not yet". And she would say, "Hang in there... it's coming!" She has said that to me so many times. To her, it was not a matter of IF the money would come but WHEN it would come. I wrote her a thank you card for helping me pray and stand and believe God for this miracle. She wasn't there at the prayer meeting to see it all happen but when I told her yesterday about what had happened, she was so happy. She was like, "Yes, yes! Oh thank you for telling me, you made my day!" I should be the one thanking her for helping me stand for my promises. God showed me after that the significance of all that has happened.God showed me in the Bible (Acts 4: 32-37) that when the people did that, the power of lack was broken over the people and I believed God wanted me to declare that over the church. I shared that with Pastor John and he asked me to share my testimony and told me to declare that over the church that the power of lack and the spirit of poverty was broken over the church. Therefore, in an act of faith, I want to declare that over you that is reading or hearing this testimony. "I say in the name of Jesus that the power of lack and the spirit of poverty is broken over your life. I call the windows of heaven to be opened over you in Jesus' name. I say that your "SUDDENLY" is coming to you now in the name of Jesus. Amen" Oh God is so good. He never fails us. He cannot fail.
