Sunday Testimonies July 2010

(1) Brother Alam's Miracle: "Those who accused me falsely are now being charged by the courts"

"In May, I was accused falsely by the bank with a few people who hated my beliefs of not paying my loan to the bank. The court found out the truth, that it was not me who took the loan, and that i was falsely accused. Now the court wants to charge the bank and their co-accusers for fraudulent charges against me. God has vindicated me in my country."

COMMENTS:

God will always vindicate His people.

God says in Isaiah 54:17, that "No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh [the LORD], and this is their vindication from me," declares Yahweh [the LORD]."

(1) Brother Jimmy Boey's Dream: "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!"

"Last Monday night I had a dream. In my dream, I had a vision of a relative of mine who had been finding fault with me. In the dream, many people were chasing me. I ran away from them but could not escape. I ended up finally in a dead-end alley. In desperation I cried out the name of our Lord. I cried our loudly "Jesus!!!!!" Then I woke up. It was a very frightening dream."

INTERPRETATION: (Brother Jimmy Boey)

1. We will be facing many problems in the days ahead, coming from all directions.

2. The answer is found in God's word in Romans 10:9-13, where it says: 

"9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 

11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame." 

12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 

13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

3. We must all learn to call upon Jesus, and not man, when we face testing and trials, so that our Lord may save us according to God's promise.

4. Our Lord will save us and deliver us from all our trials and will vindicate us when we call upon His name.

4. Praise the name of Yeshua!!!

(2) Sister Ivy's Dream: "Yeshua is the answer in times of great shaking"

"In my dream on Monday night, I saw a village. Many people from the village were carrying their luggages and walking on top of a long goods train. I also saw that all the buildings and the houses in the village has collapsed.

"I then felt a great heat next to me and saw a figure next to me. However I could not turn to see the face of the person. I then woke up. Praise the Lord for this dream."

INTERPRETATION (Sister Ivy & Brother Andrew)

1. The collapsed buildings and houses signify the great shaking that is coming upon the whole earth and the destruction of the works of the flesh and of man.

2. All peoples will be affected.

3. The movement of the people with their luggage signifies that we will lose everything that is not of God's kingdom.

4. The train is Yeshua. Only He will remain unshaken in times of shaking. If we stand firm on Yeshua and His word, we will be saved and we will be safe.

5. The person next to Sister Ivy is also Yeshua. He will be with us through the great shaking to help us. Though we cannot see Him with our eyes, we know that He will never leave us or forsake us, as He has promised in His word.

(3) Sister Patrina's Dream: "God will Send Us to help Others In Times of Great Shaking"

"I seldom have dreams, and I thank God that He has given me this dream, which is in 4 parts:

"Scene 1: I saw myself flying. I also saw many boys and girls flying, very excited and flying."

"Scene 2: I stopped flying and landed in a village. I saw a lorry coming into the village with a boy and a girl in the back of the lorry. However, the family did not approve of the relationship between the boy and the girl, and they rolled up the girl in a mat.

"Scene 3: I saw a nurse in a clinic attending to a patient with a broken leg."

"Scene 4: I started to build a tent, but was struggling to put the canvas underneath the floor sheet. Suddenly our late brother Thomas appeared in the dream and helped me."

INTERPRETATION: (Brother Samuel Chen)

1. All believers can fly. When we wait upon God and fellowship with Him, we will fly with the Holy Spirit with eagle's wings (Isaiah 40:31).

We will be excited like little children, flying above the storms of life.

2. The landing in the village shows that God wants us to reach out to the people of the world around us, people who all have many problems that cannot be solved. The family problem in the village in the dream is only an example of the needs of the people around us.

3. The nurse in the dream represents the believer reaching out to others in ministry, to share the Good News of Yeshua, heal the sick and brokenhearted, and set people free.

4. The last scene shows that when we do the work of God, we will face challenges and trials. However, as in the dream, God will send the right people to help us do God's work.

(4) Sister Cheam's Dream : "The Lord wants us to pray for those who are exploited and oppressed"

"In my dream, I found myself in a village in Bau, in Sarawak, where the Penans live. I was teaching the children on Motivation in Study, and also the Form 1 & 5 Syllabus. All the village adults also gathered around to learn what I was teaching the children.

"After the teaching, the Headman took me for a tour along the river nearby. We then reached the Bakun Dam area, where we saw the whole area with buildings and other structures in ruin and abandoned. The Headman then suddenly knelt down and lifted up his hands and prayed. He said, 'O Lord, our land has been exploited, our forests destroyed, our children abused, our environment degraded. Help us O Lord, deliver us, O God."

"I then woke up from the dream. Glory to God."

INTERPRETATION

1. God wants us to help those who are oppressed in this land through mercy ministry and prayer.

2. God specially wants His people to care for the widow, the fatherless, and those who are oppressed and cannot defend themselves.

3. We must pray for the Penans and others in the land who are heavily oppressed and not be indifferent to their needs. God will intervene when we pray to Him to help the powerless.

4. We then prayed for the Penans, that God will hear their cry and deliver them and vindicate them and restore back to them what had been stolen from them. We also asked God to judge all those who have exploited them and that the fear of God will come upon their oppressors and that these people will truly repent and make restitution of all that they have stolen from the Penans.

(5) Brother Keng Teong's miracle: "God lead us to a good holiday package and blessed us with a miracle gift"

"My wife and I had planned to take a break and go on a holiday. So we prayed and asked God for directions. We recently went to the Matta Travel Fair in PISA and booked a good package for a holiday at a good price. We asked God to confirm our choice by giving us a sign, and He did so. We won a free trip to Taiwan at this Fair in their competition. All glory to God!!!"

(6) Brother David Ng's miracle: "God miraculously repaired my wife's phone!"

"Last week, my wife's phone broke down. We changed the SIM card in the phone and discovered that it was the phone that was spoilt. We then phoned up MAXIS for help. They gave us certain instructions to change the phone settings; however, nothing worked.

"Later we went shopping, but my wife did not want a new phone; she prefers the old simple one.

"Later that night, we did our family devotion and recited Psalm 23 and Psalm 91. After that, my wife asked my son Oliver to give one final try to activate her spoilt phone. Suddenly God gave me a rhema word and I told my son, 'Restore the phone to its factory settings.' My son followed my instructions and the phone worked. Thank God for His miracle!!!"

COMMENTS:

God will give us His guidance and instruction when we wait upon Him.

4 July

(1) Sister Grace Chua: "I dreamt of a TV set whose power could not be turned off"

"Last Thursday night, I had a dream. In the dream I was watching the TV and then I wanted to turn it off. I used the remote control to turn off the TV but the TV remained turned on. I then turned off the power switch, and nothing changed. I then pulled out all the plugs from the wall sockets, and yet the TV remained turned on.

"A man next to me, dressed in white, said to me, 'No one can control the TV; its power will always be on and cannot be turned off.'

The man then offered me a banana that was peeled and was already almost all eaten except for one bite left. He said to me: 'You can eat the banana or you do not have to eat it; it is your choice to make.'

"I then woke up from my dream. All glory to God for this peaceful dream."

INTERPRETATION:

1. The TV set represents the grace and the power of God that is available to all of God's people at all times.

2. God's power and grace cannot be controlled or stopped by by any man. It is always flowing from God's throne to this world to bless all men.

3. The man dressed in white is Yeshua [Hebrew name of Jesus].

4. His offering of a banana for Grace Chua for her to eat signifies His desire to eat with each one of us, that is, to have deep fellowship with each one of us. 

This is what Yeshua told the church at Laodicea in Revelation 3:20, where it says, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."

5. However, Yeshua says that we have to make a choice everyday to fellowship with Him. He will not force anyone of us to do so.

6. The relationship of fellowship with Yeshua (eating the banana) and the power of God (the TV set that could not be turned off) is this: It is only when a believer has deep fellowship with Yeshua (waiting on the Lord, talking to Him, listening to His voice and obeying His Spirit), that the believer is able to receive power from God.

This is based on God's promise in Isaiah 40:31, where it says, 

    "But those who wait on the LORD 

        Shall renew their strength; 

      They shall mount up with wings like eagles, 

      They shall run and not be weary, 

      They shall walk and not faint."

7. This dream is a continuation of the two earlier dreams that God gave to Sister Grace Chua on the 24 May 2010 and also on the 25 June concerning God's great shaking that is coming.

(2) Brother Jimmy Boey: "I dreamt of crossing a swamp by stepping on th head of crocodiles"

"I seldom have dreams, so this is one of the first dreams that God has given to me to speak to me and to all of us.

"In my dream, I was all alone, in a very dark place, in a swamp. In the   front was a pool of water filled with crocodiles. To get to the other side, I had to walk on the crocodiles. I managed to step on the crocodiles and reached the other side. I then woke up.

"All glory be to God for this dream."

INTERPRETATION (Brother Jimmy Boey):

1. God reminded me of Ephesians 5:8-17 where it says, 

"8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 

9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 

10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 

11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 

12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 

13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 

14 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: 

   "Wake up, O sleeper, 

      rise from the dead, 

   and Christ will shine on you."

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.

2. The darkness and crocodiles in the dreams speaks of the evil and problems and shaking coming into our lives and into this world.

3. God wants us to focus on the word of God, which will give us light, so that can live as children of light.

4. The crossing over to safety on the head of the crocodiles signifies that God will lead us through the darkness ahead to safety if we live by God's word as children of light.

(3) Sister Hannah Neoh: "God wanted me to shout out this prophetic word: 'Jump into the River Jordan and cross over' "

"Towards the end of our morning worship, the Lord impressed strongly upon me the following: I saw the word 'River Jordan.' A voice then said, 'Jump into the River Jordan, and rejoice and cross over to the other side.

"The Lord impressed upon me the word from Philippians 4:4, where it says, 'Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say, "Rejoice." ' "

INTERPRETATION:

1. The river Jordan is a symbol of humbling ourselves and of dying to self. God's command to us to jump into the River Jordan signifies the command of God for all His children to die to the flesh and live  by the Spirit, always doing only what the Spirit asks us to do.

2. Rejoicing in the Lord always is a life of living by the Spirit.

3. We are to rejoice always and not live by our feelings, which is dependent on the situation around us.

4. It is through rejoicing that we can cross the River Jordan into the Promised Land.

5. The Promised Land on the other side of the Jordan River represents  the promises and blessings of God. It is only by rejoicing and thanksgiving in faith that we can cross over the river and possess our blessings.

(4) Brother Goh: "We must always care for one another in the body of Christ"

"Every morning, I ask God for His grace and protection and consider every day a bonus from God.

"Last Sunday, during worship, I suddenly felt sick and unwell. After the Service, many brothers, and the pastor also, came and prayed for me. Later, as I was about to get into the car, I vomited. I then felt relieved and felt much better.

"Later in the afternoon, I was very encouraged and touched when many brothers (Brother Beh, Brother Yeoh, and the Pastor) called to ask me how I was. I felt so much better after they called, and I want to encourage everyone in the church to share with one another and to care for one another .

"Later in the evening I saw a doctor who said my illness could be due to food poisoning or stress. My blood pressure was checked and found to be high.

"The next day, I went to the general hospital for a check -up. Because my blood pressure was still high, the doctor there wanted me to rest in a special room. After many hours of resting, I left, without any more headache. The next day, I saw the doctor again and he was very happy to see me.

"I want to thank God for giving me great favour and kindness through the doctors and nurses who attended to me. I am so blessed to meet such good people in this land of Malaysia. All glory to God!!!"

COMMENTS:

1. By the wounds of Yeshua, Broher Goh is healed.

2. As Brother Goh has said, let us all continue to share our needs with one another and to show genuine care and concern for one another.

2. We rejoice with Brother Goh that he has received great favour and kindness and special care from the doctors and nurses in the general hospital.
