Cyclone Amos and the Miracle of the Disappearing Cyclone in Samoa
The Miracle of the Disappearing Cyclone We were in Samoa 2016 when Cyclone Amos Miraculously Disappeared, learn what Meteorologists had to say below! By JOSEPH & LESLEY LEE I want to share this amazing story with you as we pray against cyclone’s in the Pacific. In Samoa 2016 we were about to host our second Miracle Crusade on the Island. Around the same time Cyclone Amos, a Category 5 cyclone was meant to hit Apia, the capital city of Samoa. The days preceding the cyclone, Apia was like a ghost town. All the shops had been boarded up and everyone was battening down their homes and fale’s. People asked if we would cancel the Crusade. I prayed and decided the Crusade would go on, though we did move into an indoor venue. The hotel owners bought us torches, water and batteries and said, “see you in a few days.” There was a lot of fear going around. The first night of the crusade we got everyone to pray against the cyclone. I want to make an important note here. We didn’t just pray, but we SPOKE to the cyclone and commanded it to leave. More on that later. We were in Samoa 2016 when Cyclone Amos Miraculously Disappeared, learn what Meteorologists had to say below! By the final night of the crusade we found out that cyclone Amos was meant to hit at 11pm that night. This was exactly when the final night was meant to end. Once again we prayed in the crusade, and SPOKE to the cyclone to be rebuked in Jesus Name. As we ministered that night, roofing material from the venue was banging noisily and flying away, as winds increased. We went home that night in the gale force winds, but were so exhausted we went straight to SLEEP! The next morning we woke up to absolute STILLNESS. There was not a single wisp of wind in the air. Birds were chirping and the sun was shining. I immediately called my pastor friend and asked what happened. He said in the middle of the night, when Cyclone Amos was meant to hit with its full Category 5 force, suddenly, the wind died and everything went quite. Amos never returned. The secular news reported that the Category 5 storm had been down graded overnight to “high winds”. And though a little infrastructure had been blown out, there was no major loss of life or loss of property.Weeks later we were in Pago Pago and found out from a meteorologist the science of what happened. This meteorologist said in the middle of the night they tracked a wind on their weather systems, that came up VERTICALLY from the ground! This vertical wind pushed the cyclone up into the atmosphere and made it miss the Island of Samoa. She also said this PHENOMENON had never happened before, and that Meteorologists in the USA wanted the data so they could study it. How can a wind come vertically up from the ground with enough power to dislodge a Category 5 cyclone? I believe it was the wind of the Holy Spirit. The secular media could only wonder: “The storm was not as powerful as predicted and the level of damage we’d expected hasn’t eventuated.” As we are now in 2018 and Cyclone Lane is coming down, once again, at the same time as we are doing one of our events, a Night of Revival in Honolulu. But I wanted to encourage our friends and partners that Jesus is in the miracle business! There is a lot of fear going around, and we shouldn’t buy into the enemies tactics. Fear is not form our Father. While it is important to be responsible for yourself and your home and family, and take necessary measures to ensure safety, we are also meant to trust God and His goodness over us. The question is, how did Jesus handle storms? Did Jesus Pray for the storm or SPEAK to the storm? In Mark 4:39 we have an account of a big storm on the Sea of Galilee. The storm was so big that the disciples, hardened fishermen, were afraid they would perish. Where was Jesus? He was SLEEPING on a pillow. First is, we shouldn’t panic but be in the rest of God. Secondly, when he was awoken by the panicking disciples, he got up and SPOKE to the storm. “PEACE BE STILL.” Notice he didn’t pray for the storm, but he SPOKE to the storm. How could Jesus do this? Because He is the Son of God and has control over the weather. But that’s not all. He also turned to His disciples and said “Why were you fearful, you of little faith.” Why did Jesus say this? I believe it was because He wanted the disciples to SPEAK TO THE STORM too. See, we have been given His nature, His authority and His name in the earth. We too have the authority over the weather. We too can SPEAK to storms as children of God. We too can believe for miracles in nature. If God split the Red Sea for 3 Million people to pass over on dry ground, He can command a Cyclone to “BE STILL”. How will He do this? Through you and me! I share this to encourage you today, lets believe God for a miracle! In your preparation for this storm, or if you are praying for Hawaii from afar, remember to not just PRAY for the storm, but SPEAK to the storm, and use your authority to command it to go in Jesus Name! “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.” Mark 11:23 Spread the word Instagram
Fiji Worship Nights Exploding With Youth
Fiji Worship Nights Exploding With Youth By JOSEPH & LESLEY LEE A worship band we work with in Fiji is seeing great breakthrough in the realms of revival. They are called Latterain, a non-denominational group that carries and heart and hunger for revival. We utilise their skills for our Fiji crusades and also they do bi-monthly worship nights and are seeing great revival fruit. We wanted to share some photo’s and also some testimonies from their ministry so that all may know that revival is spreading to the south pacific! “I literally encountered God during the worship night that was held in May.” “(I’d be more than happy to share a testimony of) My bondages being broken and my spirit being set free after years of being caged. I literally encountered God during the worship night that was held in May. Since that day I have been baptised and my walk with God has gone to the next level where I can even hear the voice of God clearly. My deliverance at the worship night was profound and I’m definitely more in tune with the Holy Spirit since then. (You) literally usher all of us into the throne of grace … where we directly access Him because the Holy Spirit hovers and flows so mightily when you guys start to worship. I feel you guys usher us right inot the Holy of Holies … God bless.” Spread the word Instagram
Eroni is a Changed Life
Eroni is a Life Changed By JOSEPH & LESLEY LEE To briefly explain my journey in Christ – I got saved in 2016. The journey has been with its ups and downs, particularly for my family coming out of the Jehovah’s witness to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Before meeting Pastor Lee, I had been running my own Small Engine repair workshop which I operated. Due to drawbacks experienced in my business, having operated without any proper capital to start off with. Anyway, preparation towards Pastor Lee’s crusade in November involved meeting up with a network of Pastors every month and as the date drew near, we met every two weeks to confirm and discuss logistics of the crusade. Fast forward to the few days leading up to the crusade at the Vodafone Arena, Pastor Lee arrived with his family and later his team of prayer warriors. I was honoured to be part of the team as they visited people in settlements and ministered the Word of God to them. I had always told my wife that I felt the urge to get people to know Jesus – when I joined Pastor Lee’s team visiting people, I was happy to be doing something for Jesus! My responsibility during the three-day crusade was to get people in Delainavesi and Nadonumai areas to get on the bus and attend the crusade – the Lord worked miracles, people filled the buses from day one to day three – better still, got saved and some gave their lives to Jesus! It was the night of the last day of the crusade when Pastor prayed and prophesied over me, the anointing I carried with me from that crusade, I can only give glory to God alone. Days later, my wife suffered from migraine. She could not get up. I sat beside and I was praying in other tongues without laying hands on her just for 1 minute I got a shock she got up go to the bathroom When she returned she said, “ I felt the urge to go to the washroom while you were speaking in other tongues ,she said I believed I’m delivered I feel so much lighter now and the migraine is gone. My wife has never had a migraine again ever since – Glory to God! Ever since the crusade, my children have never been ill. It was always a norm for them to get sick days before an exam, from the day the crusade ended until now – I can only praise and thank God for his healing my family – the sickness is gone! “… all we can do is cry and thankful tears that no words can put together.” On a personal level, I was sick. They said it was ulcer because I had the tendency to burp nonstop every now and then and it affected my breathing at times. Following the crusade, I can state that I have been healed in the name of Jesus! My wife works the Fijian Elections Office, God’s increase has been manifesting through her, she got promoted twice in span of months after the crusade last year. It wasn’t plain sailing for us to see and experience the Hand of God over our lives – there was pain. At times, so painful but we knew that this was just a process God wanted us to go through to get to where we wanted – and we are not there yet, we are still on our journey with Jesus Christ. The wonderful thing is that He has been through our tomorrows and he will get us through it all, we only have to keep our faith in him alone! Pastor Lee assisted me in printing my business cards and sending it to Fiji. He also gave me advice and business ideas on job charges to get my small engine business running. For this I continue to thank my Heavenly Father for connecting me to the Man of God who assisted me in my business venture. Jobs have started to come in now and I give only the Glory, Honour and Praise to my Heavenly Father in Jesus name. I am now firm on stating my charges to customers and in the process shared the Word of God with those who come for repairs. Pastor Lee, all I can say is, “Thank You and may the Lord Jesus Christ continue to protect, bless and prosper you and your family as you work to minister the Word of God to nations. One thing I learn from the Ministry (Pioneer Ministry) is to come to God as I am, we will face trials and hardship, a character in the bible that always push me through the trials is JOB when we are faithful to God and he will pay us personally in an overwhelming – all we can do is cry and thankful tears that no words can put together.I don’t have shape up myself because he will do all that.This scripture confirms Isaih 46:4 I have made you,I will carry you ,I will sustain and I will rescue you.
