The night of October 22, 2012, which marked Lam’s shadow figure encounter, started like any other for Lam, a Vietnamese immigrant living in America.
Tucked into bed in his three-floor condo, he drifted into sleep, unaware that his life was about to collide with the supernatural.
A vivid dream pulled him into a tunnel with a bright light at the end, stirring a sense of unease that felt all too real. Forcing himself awake, Lam tested his body and mind, reciting numbers to rule out a stroke or heart attack. But as he closed his eyes again, the tunnel returned, bringing with it a chilling presence that would spark his profound spiritual awakening.
What unfolded that night wasn’t just a dream; it was a shadow figure encounter that shattered Lam’s worldview.
Born in Vietnam and raised Catholic, Lam had lived a disciplined life under his father’s military influence, but his faith was rote and distant. College brought parties, drugs, and a drift from God. Now, at 38, this eerie event would thrust him into a journey of divine truth, leading to miracles that included raising the dead and transforming lives.
The Shadow Figure Encounter: A Night of Terror
In the quiet hours before dawn, Lam’s attempt to sleep turned terrifying. Closing his eyes, he saw the tunnel again, but this time, something lurked behind him.
“This figure with the hoodie, you know, black face and he’s just staring at me,” Lam recalls. “It was just staring at me. It can’t move.”
The entity, which he later identified as a demon or the “Destroyer,” filled him with fear, its dirty, black face fixed in an unmoving gaze.
Above him, an unseen presence radiated truth, contrasting the dread from the shadow figure. Lam felt compelled to ask questions about his life, career, and family, receiving instant, crystal-clear answers.
“The answer came to me and I knew it to be true,” he says. But realizing his self-centered queries, he paused: “If I had one question asked, what would it be?” The pivotal question emerged: “Is that you?” – referring to God.
The affirmative response echoed like a divine download, linking to the story of doubting Thomas.
Overwhelmed, Lam bolted from bed, knelt, and prayed: “Forgive me for what I had to see to believe.” A weight lifted, and he felt a drop of God’s love. Venturing toward the light in his vision, he saw the word “LOVE” in bold letters, shining brightly.
This shadow figure encounter wasn’t a hallucination; it was the catalyst for his spiritual awakening, forcing him to confront the supernatural realm.
Divine Intervention Amid the Darkness
The shadow figure’s appearance wasn’t random; it marked divine intervention in Lam’s life.
Having escaped communism on a boat at age seven, enduring pirate attacks and refugee camps, Lam’s past was marked by trauma. His family history included “thieves, robbers,” and his own sins weighed heavy. Yet, in this moment, God broke through. The presence above him, radiating truth, guided Lam to acknowledge his need for forgiveness.
As the encounter unfolded, Lam sensed another entity above, not visible but undeniably there.
This led to his heartfelt cry and the vision of love. “I popped out of bed and got on my knees,” he shares. The improbability of the timing, a dream turning into a waking vision, bore “God’s fingerprints,” pulling Lam from complacency.
This divine timing extended beyond the night. Lam’s immigration story, blessed by his father’s service records speeding their U.S. entry, hinted at God’s hand all along.
“God was there with us all along. We just didn’t know,” he reflects.
The shadow figure encounter served as a wake-up call, initiating a chain of miraculous events.
Faith and Prayer: Igniting a Spiritual Fire
In the aftermath, Lam’s response was immediate and fervent. He canceled all appointments for two weeks to immerse in Scripture.
“I cancel all my [sic] points for the next two weeks and read the word,” he decided. Without a church, he began ministering spontaneously, sharing his spiritual awakening with strangers.
Community support emerged organically. Lam’s faith ignited others; he ministered at bars and to those in need. One instance involved a bartender whose words aligned with divine guidance, giving Lam “hearing this voice.” Prayer became action, with Lam fasting and seeking deeper connection.
“I was literally just ministering. I didn’t know that was happening,” he admits.
Global intercession wasn’t formalized, but Lam’s story spread through personal networks. His family history of sin fueled his resolve to break chains. Specific spiritual actions, like being baptized in the Holy Spirit, marked his path.
“So I was baptized in the Holy Spirit… I felt the fire,” he describes, feeling an internal blaze that consumed without burning, “the weight of the glory in his presence.”
The Turning Point: From Fear to Holy Fire
The first signs of transformation came swiftly. Terrified at first, Lam grappled with understanding. “I didn’t understand… different terrified,” he says. But the Holy Spirit’s fire brought clarity, turning fear into conviction.
Skeptics might call it psychological, but Lam knew it as resurrection. His encounters dismissed as spasms by doubt became proof of life. “I hear it and I realize it’s my head but notion the fire starts to consume me but I’m not charing,” he recounts. This turning point contrasted inner turmoil with divine peace, echoing his shadow figure encounter.
Recovery and Transformation: A New Life in Christ
Lam’s spiritual recovery was arduous yet miraculous. Relearning faith’s depths, he faced past sins and family legacies. Challenges included doubt and fear, but ongoing miracles unfolded. He ministered boldly, even raising the dead in one case.
Sister Alex, practicing witchcraft, died after a ritual. Lam, urged by God, prayed fervently without knowing her state.
“I was waking up to pray,” he says.
Revived, she vomited black substance, demons expelled. Her salvation, and her mother’s, followed. Lam jokes about prophetic moments, like her tattoo symbolizing restarted life.
The greater miracle was relational: Lam’s spiritual awakening mended his heart. Once a “good kid” with problems, he embraced purpose. “I want to show others this hope,” he states. His bond with God grew unbreakable, rooted in daily prayer.
Inspiring Belief in Miracles
Lam’s doctors weren’t involved, but skeptics abound. His story stuns, proving faith’s power. “No one believes me,” Sister Alex said of her revival; Lam affirmed it. Professionals witnessing such events might rethink limits.
The couple, Lam and those touched, hope to inspire. “If you’re facing impossibility, remember, no diagnosis has the final word,” mirroring Oxana’s words but fitting Lam’s journey. Their testimony urges bold prayer and expecting the impossible.
Lam shares to ignite faith worldwide. From shadow figure encounter to raising the dead, his spiritual awakening rallys believers. “Have faith, open your mouth,” he advises. Readers, seek God; share this story. Miracles await.
Watch the Miracle Unfold
The full depth of Lam’s journey, the terror on that fateful night, haunting spiritual battles, and the moment he raised the dead, is best witnessed in his own words. On Jan The Miracle Hunter’s YouTube channel, Lam recounts:
- The divine timing of his shadow figure encounter, including the vision of “LOVE” and his kneel-down prayer.
- Early ministering moments, like sharing with a bartender and feeling the Holy Spirit’s fire.
- The emotional revival of Sister Alex, her vomiting demons, and leading her mother to Christ.
- Lam’s heartfelt confession of spiritual rebirth: “I was given a new life, a new purpose.”
Their testimony is more than a supernatural tale – it’s a rallying cry for believers to “pray boldly and expect the impossible.”
Praise God! We give Him all honor and glory for this miracle!
