Pr 27:4 The spirit of jealousy which is heavier than cruel wrath and torrent of anger

Message for Reflection – Sis. Angelica

Clothe herself with fine linen

How privileged and blessed we would  feel if we are  invited for the wedding of a King’s son. When I was studying, in my class there was, one Sethu Parvathi Bai, the daughter of  the concubine of Sree Chitira Tirunal Maharaja of Trivandrum. Most of the days she will be absent for the class. When she reappears, she will come to me in order to copy the notes of missed days. Why should she come to me, leaving all the other girls? When I think of it, I feel proud. That is why I am quoting it even here.

Mat 22:2-5 The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son,  and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.”

Dear soldiers, we are not only invited for the wedding, but you and me makes the bride for the wedding of the King’s son. The wedding dress is being prepared now. “Linen, bright and pure”.

Rev 19:6 -10 “…..  Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready;   it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”— for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. 

 Is it difficult to believe? Now you might be living in a ‘cursed place’- the land of Ham.

“ Then Israel came to Egypt; indeed, Jacob lived in the land of Ham. He caused his people to multiply greatly; and be more numerous than their enemies.  Ps 105:23-24 

You might be in a period of servitude right now, serving gentile bosses, who do not know God. They might hate you.

Understand dear, it is “He who caused them to hate his people and deceive his servants” (Ps 105:25).

They all will see you one day, as the chosen and decorated bride, of the king’s son.

And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.”……… 

The fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. Let us be careful to prepare the best wedding dress. It is our righteous deeds. (Obedience to His voice and surrender)

2  Co 11:2-3  I am jealous of you with God's own jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to the Messiah.    However, I am afraid that just as the serpent deceived Eve by its tricks, so your minds may somehow be lured away from sincere and pure devotion to the Messiah.

Chennai BFF – Report and Testimonies

Initially I was not willing to attend this course wanted to run on the First day silently. I was hailing from a Catholic background and holding some important positions in the Catholic Church. After attending BFF I admit myself that the mistake done by me and understood the truth which was not known all my Christian life. I was so confused before taking baptism thinking of relations as i myself was rebellious on this and asked my mother to not step-in as she was attending a Pentecostal church. I thank God that now I accepted and got Baptized prior to My Mother! I hold a list of people to get forgiveness & to forgive which includes my mother and wife. I will go and get this done first and get myself delivered. Bro. Richard

I am a physically challenged person. My world is different, here I got more love from my fellow students and sisters and I was able to attend all classes by God's grace. I had a great privilege to go to NWC and worship in the stage. God revealed greater secrets and truths to me which I was not aware prior in my life. It is a real life changing event to me and I have enrolled myself in Healing school and wanted to be useful in it for God's Glory and others to be encourged by me. Sis. Grace

I felt different and wanted to run on the first day, but as the days went on my interest towards the teaching and the surrounding made me happy and now to leave it is a bit difficult. But I need to go out and spread this good message to many. Bro. Dhanasekhar

I was going to church for quite long in my life, but I was a spectator all these days. Now within 5 days of BFF I got opportunity to Worship and deliver message. I thank God for it. Bro. Stephen Manoj

I was from a Hindu family I was not willing to come to this BFF. By God's grace, I could see what I was worshiping all these years of my life and able to convince and identify Jesus Is my savior. God enabled me and got the concurrence from Him to get baptized. Sis. Shalini

I was physically unwell when came here. My knees had pain and would not be able to bend and I was taking medication for it. On the second day I forgot about the knee pain and during NWC I was able to kneel and pray and worship for around 3 hours continuously and did not take any medicine. Praise God for the healing! God enabled me to worship well and the Holy Spirit guided me with words to worship in one of the worship sessions. Bro. Rajmohan

Transformation India Project

Matthew: 24: 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

As per the above verse Love in the society has grown cold and wickedness has increased. With growing wickedness and without love among the people, the society will destroy itself. To transform this state the Lord has revealed to his children through Sr Angelica to start a social movement to proclaim love of Jesus, hence Transformation India Project was started in the year 2017.

The first meeting was held in Trust conference hall Nungambakkam on 06-04-2017 and the project was launched in a National meet held at Padapai on 16-06-2017. Transform India Project is a social reformation project which is based on the greatest commandment of God that is Love.

John : 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Only by loving others we will prove ourselves to be disciples of Jesus, hence it was made mandatory for Troop Church members to spend two hours per week in social work. This news of love was taken across India and TIP program was held across many states.

Medical camps, training institutes, tuition centres, skill development training, natural farming, gardening, water conservation, old age home, waste management, counselling centres, tailoring and similar social activities were conducted. Believers were encouraged to take these social activities among the less fortunate and needy. New entrepreneurs were encouraged with plans based on these social activities and Love.

On 11, 12 August 2018 TIP skill development program on Natural Farming was held in Dr Charles Elders Community, Chennai. Fifty people attended the program and gained knowledge and developed interest in Natural Farming. Mr Sunil John from Nagpur came down to Chennai to teach the principles and biblical basis of natural farming. Theory and practical training was given to the participants on natural farming.

These are the ten steps of natural farming

1)         Dedicating the land to the Lord

2)         Land preparation

3)         Planning

4)         Seed and seedling preparation

5)         Care and maintenance of the garden

6)         Using and preparing organic fertilizer

7)         Pest control using natural method

8)         Proper harvesting

9)         Seed procurement and preservation

10)       Thanks giving to the Lord

Acts 20: 34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions. 35In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”…

Mr Sunil John is a disciple from the state of Kerala who went towards the northern part of India to do the Lord Ministry. During the persecution period in Madhya Pradesh he decided to work with his own hands to support the ministry hence he worked on natural farming and formed Faith garden. With this initiative he supported his own family and ministry without depending on others. From Faith garden Mr Sunil John produced traditional plants with high yield without using chemicals and insecticide. This principle of natural farming was taken across India and many benefitted.

He also encourages people doing full time ministry to support their lively hood by self-employment rather to depend on others for support. He helps believers live in the society with dignity by helping them with entrepreneurship .His team gives lessons for establishing cycle repairing shop, plant nurseries, Flower shops, Flour Mills, Rice Mill, Oven and electricity less Baking,water conservation (rain water harvesting, sand water filters), fisheries, Aquaponics, Cockerel Farming, Odourless Poultry, poultry farms, tailoring shops, etc.

Transformation India Project was also launched with the same motto. The project aims to bring the love of Jesus among the society and help believers live in the society with dignity and self-respect. The project aims to enable a person too unconditionally help the any person in need. The parable of the Samaritan, who unconditionally helped the half dead man, is our example. Let us all take this message across India and transform people life into Christ. Amen                  

Christian News

Rebels in Burma Detain More than 90 Christian Leaders, Shut Down More Churches

YANGONBurma, October 1, 2018 (Morning Star News) – After shutting down at least 10 churches in early September, ethnic Wa rebels in eastern Burma (Myanmar) have closed dozens of other churches and detained 92 Christian leaders and 42 students in a bid to curtail Christian activities, sources said. The United Wa State Army (UWSA) in late September detained the Christian leaders and students in territory it controls in Shan state, leaders of the Lahu Baptist Convention said in a statement released on Tuesday (Sept. 25). Some students were also forced to serve as UWSA soldiers, according to the statement. 
 
The 52 churches in Mong Pauk Township have been shut down, and the UWSA destroyed three church buildings and removed all Christian symbols such as crosses, according to the ethnic Lahu Christian leaders. A few religious schools also have been shut down.  Earlier in September, the UWSA troops shut down at least 10 churches, including six belonging to the Kachin Baptist Convention (KBC).
 
“The Wa officials instructed Christians in Mong Pauk not even to worship at home these days,” a local Christian leader based in Keng Tung told Morning Star News on condition of anonymity. “So, some Christian members dare not to live in Mong Pauk any longer. They came to stay in Keng Tung town as they are fearful.”
 
Wa soldiers are holding arrested Christian leaders and students in Mong Maw town, a stronghold base of the Wa rebels, said Tat Jack, a local resident whose relatives are detained. “My uncle is a preacher,” Tat Jack told Morning Star News. “He lives at a village nearby the Wa rebel base, Panghsang city. He and his son were detained in early September. But we are not allowed to visit them. We also heard that many members of the Christian community there are detained.” Christian leaders have said the militants, who predominantly follow tribal religions, seek to reduce the spread of Christianity. Wa rebel spokesperson Nyi Rang told The Irrawaddy, a Yangon-based new outlet, that the UWSA had detained the Christian leaders because there were “extremists” among them. 
 
A UWSA statement released on Sept. 13 stated that all church buildings constructed after 1992 would be destroyed or shut down, as they were built without permission from the UWSA’s leaders. On a UWSA-run television program, it was stated that the UWSA has arrested and interrogated the religious leaders for violating organization regulations and laws prohibiting foreigners to serve as religious leaders in Wa-controlled areas. It also accused some detainees of forcing ethnic people to convert to Christianity. 

Dr. M. Hkawng, chairman of an ethnic Kachin political party, the Kachin National Congress, has said that missionaries improve the lives of ethnic minorities in the Wa region, educating them and enabling them to travel to overseas to Japan, the United States and other countries to pursue their education. Although most of the population in Wa territory worships spirits or Nats, there are also Buddhists as well as Christian communities such as Baptists and Roman Catholics. Many area members of ethnic minority groups, such as the Ahkar, Lahu and Kachin, as well as the Wa, are Christians, sources said. Some Christians suspect Chinese authorities are behind the recent aggression against Christians.
 
The UWSA is the military wing of the United Wa State Party (UWSP), the de facto ruling party of the area. It was formed after the collapse of the armed wing of the Communist Party of Burma in 1989. The UWSA announced its territory as the Wa State Government Special Administrative Region on Jan. 1, 2009, and although the government of Burma does not officially recognize its sovereignty, the Burmese military has fought alongside the UWSA against Shan nationalist militias.
 
Though de facto independent from Burma, the Wa state officially recognizes Burma’s sovereignty over all of its territory, and in 2013 the two parties signed a peace deal. Burma is about 80 percent Buddhist and 9 percent Christian. The country is ranked 24th on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2018 World Watch List of the countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.

China’s Pastors Take Their Stand: Jesus Is Lord

I want you to meet some brave Christian leaders pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. When thinking of the golden age of the Church, many of us hearken back to the book of Acts, when Peter and John stood up to the religious authorities, who told them to be silent about Jesus the risen Messiah. “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God,” they answered, “you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Then they prayed for boldness, and the Church exploded across much of the ancient world. But there’s a golden age for the church going on right now—with the same kind of courage, persecution, and Spirit-empowered growth. Where is it? In communist China.

World missions’ historians tell us that when all the foreign missionaries were kicked out of Mao’s China a few years after the Second World War, there were probably no more than 3 million believers in Jesus Christ in the whole, vast nation. But today, seven decades later, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life counts 67 million Christians of all kinds—35 million independent Protestants, 23 million Protestants in government-sanctioned churches, and 9 million Catholics. Other estimates go even higher.

Whatever the true number is, it’s almost as many as there are members of the Communist Party! Maybe that’s why the government is cracking down on Christians. According to Christianity Today and other news outlets, Under President Xi Jinping, China’s government has been tightening its grip on religious affairs. In February, regulations aimed at religious groups have brought increased pressure on churches to be “Chinese” culturally and to submit to the authority of the Communist Party. Churches are being told to burn their crosses and replace them with Chinese flags and to display slogans praising the Communist Party. Some are being forced to join the government-sanctioned churches and permit video surveillance of their services. Meanwhile, in Jiangxi province, authorities have forced at least 40 churches to display banners forbidding foreigners from preaching and anyone under 18 from attending. In August, they even published new rules stating, “Party members who have religious belief should have strengthened through education.”

In the spirit of Peter and John, a group of at least 250 Chinese pastors has publicly signed a joint statement opposing the new regulations. In the statement they declare that Jesus is Lord of all, offering eternal life to anyone who will repent and believe in Him. But they also say, in a challenge to the Chinese communists, “God hates all attempts to suppress human souls and all acts of persecution against the Christian church, and he will condemn and judge them with righteous judgment.”

Then, like Peter and John, they pledge obedience not to the earthly authorities but to King Jesus, no matter what. “We declare that in matters of external conduct, churches are willing to accept lawful oversight by civil administration or other government departments as other social organizations do. But under no circumstances will we lead our churches to join a religious organization controlled by the government, to register with the religious administration department, or to accept any kind of affiliation.” They close their incredible joint statement with the bracing yet sobering words, “For the sake of the gospel, we are prepared to bear all losses—even the loss of our freedom and our lives.”

Friends, is it any wonder that the church in China has grown, and continues to grow? What we’re seeing before our eyes is the golden age of the church in China. How can we not pray for these wonderful brothers and sisters? And more than that, how can we not emulate their costly faithfulness in our own little corner of God’s world?

Prophecy NEWS Update

One of Canada's Largest Banks Reminds Us of The Dangers Of A Cashless Society

Yesterday, CIBC reported a "systems issue" that prevented customers from logging in to their accounts online for the entire business day. CIBC, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, is one of the five biggest banks in Canada. Yesterday just happened to be the day that people receiving welfare, unemployment benefits, social insurance payments (like American social security), Canada Pension payments, and disability payments landed in the accounts of recipients.

Customers could still use ATMs and Point of Sale features but were unable to log into their accounts to check balances, transfer money, or make online payments. The sentiments of normally patient Canadians online were ... tense. The system was restored around 8 pm last night but that wasn't soon enough for people who wanted to pay their bills by the due date or make business transactions.

Meanwhile, CIBC wants to move everything online

Ironically, this online banking catastrophe occurred a day after Victor Dodig, the CEO of CIBC, predicted that nearly all transactions would soon be taking place online.

...almost all transactions will soon be conducted remotely, rather than in person, as customers continue to take more of their business and daily lives online.

"We see continued migration of clients to do transactions remotely," CIBC CEO Victor Dodig said Wednesday during his bank's institutional investor conference in Montreal. "You're seeing 87 per cent of transactions now being done remotely. And we think it's going to get to 96 per cent over the next four to five years." 

But perhaps this migration has more to do with CIBC closing branches. Physical locations where you can walk in and see a teller are going the way of the Canadian penny. (It's no longer being made because production costs were 1.6 cents per coin.)

Since before 2000, CIBC has been closing dozens of branches every year. And it isn't just CIBC that is closing branches in Canada. It's a trend across all the Big 5 banks and thousands of jobs have been lost. So the question is, do Canadians actually "prefer" online banking, or do they have no other choice due to physical location closures? This makes me think of the whole push toward a cashless society. For a long time now, Big Finance has been "nudging" people along toward an end that would benefit them greatly - a cashless society.

If a powerful institution wants to make people choose a certain thing, the best strategy is to make it difficult to choose the alternative. We can illustrate this with the example of self-checkout tills at supermarkets. The underlying agenda is to replace checkout staff with self-service machines to cut costs. But supermarkets have to convince their customers. They thus initially present self-checkout as a convenient alternative. When some people then use that alternative, the supermarket can cite that as evidence of a change in customer behaviour, which they then use to justify a reduction in checkout employees. This in turn makes it more inconvenient to use the checkout staff, which in turn makes customers more likely to use the machines. They slowly wean you off staff, and "nudge" you towards self-service.

Financial institutions, likewise, are trying to nudge us towards a cashless society and digital banking. The true motive is corporate profit. Payments companies such as Visa and Mastercard want to increase the volume of digital payments services they sell, while banks want to cut costs. The nudge requires two parts. First, they must increase the inconvenience of cash, ATMs and branches. Second, they must vigorously promote the alternative. They seek to make people "learn" that they want digital, and then "choose" it. It won't surprise many people to learn that this has links to Marxist philosophy.

The Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci developed the concept of cultural hegemony out of Karl Marx's theory that the dominant ideology of society reflects the beliefs and interests of the ruling class. Gramsci argued that consent to the rule of the dominant group is achieved by the spread of ideologies--beliefs, assumptions, and values--through social institutions such as schools, churches, courts, and the media, among others.  These institutions do the work of socializing people into the norms, values, and beliefs of the dominant social group. As such, the group that controls these institutions controls the rest of society. Cultural hegemony is most strongly manifested when those ruled by the dominant group come to believe that the economic and social conditions of their society are natural and inevitable, rather than created by people with a vested interest in particular social, economic, and political orders. 

Oh yay. Who doesn't love being "nudged" along the road to Marxism and a cashless utopia? (This is sarcasm. Hold the angry comments and emails.) Here's why a cashless society is dangerous. A cashless society is a danger to freedom. And this is why we should embrace cold hard cash.

Most of the folks who will read this article will already be on board with this philosophy, but here is one of the best explanations I've read about the dangers. From The UK Guardian... 

Digital systems may be "convenient", but they often come with central points of failure. Cash, on the other hand, does not crash. It does not rely on external data centres, and is not subject to remote control or remote monitoring. The cash system allows for an unmonitored "off the grid" space. 

This is also the reason why financial institutions and financial technology companies want to get rid of it. Cash transactions are outside the net that such institutions cast to harvest fees and data. A cashless society brings dangers. People without bank accounts will find themselves further marginalised, disenfranchised from the cash infrastructure that previously supported them. There are also poorly understood psychological implications about cash encouraging self-control while paying by card or a mobile phone can encourage spending. And a cashless society has major surveillance implications.

Despite this, we see an alignment between government and financial institutions. The Treasury recently held a public consultation on cash and digital payments in the new economy. It presented itself as attempting to strike a balance, noting that cash was still important. But years of subtle lobbying by the financial industry have clearly paid off. The call for evidence repeatedly notes the negative elements of cash - associating it with crime and tax evasion - but barely mentions the negative implications of digital payments. 

The UK government has chosen to champion the digital financial services industry. This is irresponsible and disingenuous. We need to stop accepting stories about the cashless society and hyper-digital banking being "natural progress". We must recognise every cash machine that is shut down as another step in financial institutions' campaign to nudge you into their digital enclosures. 

It only took one day of the CIBC debacle to remind people of why digital transactions are at the mercy of the computers and those who control them. The people who are pleading for the "progress" of a cashless society, the ones who can't wait to get their debit card embedded into their arms as an RFID chip - they aren't seeing the bigger picture. That's the picture of them, losing everything they have at the whim of a bank, a prosecutor, or a computer error. 

It's the picture of every single thing you buy and every transaction you make being tracked, filed away, and one day used against you. It's all about control. It's always about control. And without cash, you just handed all of your control to someone else.

Warfare prayer of the soldiers of the Army of Jesus to bind and destroy the works of the devil

Let us bind and destroy the works of the devil in the name of Jesus Christ who has conquered sin, satan, curse and death on the cross

Pr 17:9  The spirit which separates close  friends

Message for Reflection – Sis. Angelica

Sheep don’t matter

In my beginning years of Vision sharing ministry , starting in  October  2006  most of the time I was in  travelling, from one Church to another, one State to another.

But after 4 years, I could sense that no solid fruits are to be seen.   In my distress, I used to ask God whether I was going in the right direction.

I was complaining to the Lord about the leaders of the Church not taking the prophetic vision given by the Lord for India and Model Church to their believers even after 4 years. 

"These warnings being very grievous and time bound, why didn't they take it seriously" was my question to the Lord. He gave the answer. 

“For them who are sent as pastors, evangelists and missionaries by their institutions, the sheep or God is not a matter. Their salary and sending reports to their earthly leaders are more important. It can happen to you also if you submit to a leader on this earth for your ministry and get regular salary from them”. I got terrified. I was reminded of an archbishop whom we went to meet, a few years ago. (After leaving the convent) since he was sick. We gave him a copy of the above mentioned visions. He listened to all what we said.

His reply was this:

“I understand what you say. But I may not commit to what you say because it is the Roman Catholic Church who gave me education. It sent me for higher studies. It took me into confidence and has entrusted the responsibility of this archdiocese to me. Shouldn’t I be responsible and grateful to them?” I felt pity for him, kept silent and left the rest with God.

The  Lord spoke to me about evangelists and  pastors who go to mission stations sent by some institutional Churches. They go on condition that they will be given a support of .......Rs, rent of Rs....... education of their children Rs.....Etc. The  Lord asked me a question. To whom will they be faithful? To me or to their institution?  . If their children fall sick, they immediately inform their boss. They are expected to send money for every expense they meet with.

“because he’s a hired worker, and the  sheep don’t matter to him”. Jn  10:13


For a hired worker, his salary, job security and other things are important. Sheep are secondary. This is the institution which Christians wrongly call “Church”..

Mr Sunil John is a disciple from the state of Kerala who went towards the northern part of India to do the Lord Ministry. During the persecution period in Madhya Pradesh he decided to work with his own hands to support the ministry hence he worked on natural farming and formed Faith garden. With this initiative he supported his own family and ministry without depending on others. From Faith garden Mr Sunil John produced traditional plants with high yield without using chemicals and insecticide. This principle of natural farming was taken across India and many benefitted.

He also encourages people doing full time ministry to support their lively hood by self-employment rather to depend on others for support. He helps believers live in the society with dignity by helping them with entrepreneurship .His team gives lessons for establishing cycle repairing shop, plant nurseries, Flower shops, Flour Mills, Rice Mill, Oven and electricity less Baking,water conservation (rain water harvesting, sand water filters), fisheries, Aquaponics, Cockerel Farming, Odourless Poultry, poultry farms, tailoring shops, etc.

Transformation India Project was also launched with the same motto. The project aims to bring the love of Jesus among the society and help believers live in the society with dignity and self-respect. The project aims to enable a person too unconditionally help the any person in need. The parable of the Samaritan, who unconditionally helped the half dead man, is our example. Let us all take this message across India and transform people life into Christ. Amen

Over 250 Nigerian Christians Killed by Fulani Radicals in Two Months

On September 14, two Christian boys were murdered by Fulani radicals in Nigeria, making the total number of lives claimed by this violence over 250 in just two months. Thbodies of Ntyang Pam Danjuma, 9, and Mesheck Dalyop Kang'ageda, 10, were found riddled with bullet holes and machete slashes. Reportedly, local police are looking for attackers who they believe are Fulani Muslim radicals. "The Nigerian government continues to be complacent in dealing with the problem of the Fulani militants, who have in 2018 killed nearly three times as many people as Boko Haram," ICC said.

"If they do not ensure the safety of all of their people, they are going to have continued fighting that will increase as communities decide to defend themselves and their families." Human rights groups in Nigeria, including the International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law, have warned citizens that jihadists are presenting themselves as Fulani farmers and then massacring Christians and burning down churches.

In August, board chairman of Intersociety Emeka Umeagbalasi, told The Christian Post that the Nigerian government is trying to characterize these murders as conflicts between farmers and herders. But what is really happening, he said, was a calculated attack designed to kill and drive Christians out of Nigeria. Intersociety reported on Sunday that no fewer than 250 Christians have been killed in the last two months. They obtained this number by combining the statistics and news reports of killings since July.

"The Christian agonies in Nigeria include killing of Christian children and busting, using machetes and guns, of pregnancies of the heavily pregnant Christian women leading to their death and that of their unborn children; killing of other Christians (i.e., women, children, the physically challenged, young men and women, the aged and the sick) in their sleep, sick and retirement apartments, farms and other workplaces as well as sacred places of worship," the group explained. Along with killing several hundred believers, The Christian Post reports that the extremists have also seized and forcefully occupied Christians’ lands and burned down places of worship among other Christian paraphernalia.

Church Members Take Gospel to Streets after Chinese Officials Close Church

After the Chinese government shut down a church in Chengdu, members of the house church took the gospel message to the streets. In a video shared earlier this week, Christopher Gregory, of the China Missions organization, showed members of the church gathering in a public park to sing, pray and share the gospel. Gregory was later arrested and then released.

Gregory told Christian News Network that the church hosted both morning and evening services earlier this week. “The local authorities shut down a house church in Chengdu last week, so they thought that was the end of it— it wasn’t,” Gregory said on his social media account, adding that police “looked on in bewilderment not knowing what to do.” “For the first time, people throughout China are saying, “NO!” to what the Communist party wants— control,” he said. “Control over what they can do, what they can believe, where they can go, what they can say.”

“It’s yet another sign something is beginning to take shape here in China, the call for democracy! The call for freedom!” The video has more than 43,000 views. According to the organization China Aid, churches must register with the Three-Self Patriotic Movement. The Movement is the only authorized Protestant Church in China. Any churches who do not register are considered illegal, and authorities can arrest or jail church members.

Officials can also raid those illegal church buildings. In some cases, church crosses have been removed. “The government is trying to silence anything relating to Christianity due to the rise of those who claim Christianity as their faith,” Gregory said. “China is facing inward resistance and they see this growth of believers as a sign of losing their grip on its society.” “Pray for China,” he said. “Pray for change here. Pray that the gospel reaches into men’s hearts so that the real change can come, then we’ll see a revival in China.”

Religious Liberty Cases before The Supreme Court: Two Cases to Watch

On Monday, the Supreme Court will choose cases to hear in the upcoming term. We need to pray it chooses at least these two cases in particular. Each year in late September, the Supreme Court gathers for what's called the "long conference," in which they choose cases to hear in the upcoming term. This year's long conference is on Monday. Among the cases under consideration are two that we should all pray are selected by the court. First is American Legion v. American Humanist Association, which concerns a cross-shaped monument known as the Peace Cross in Bladensburg, Maryland. The Cross was erected in 1925 by the American Legion as a memorial to 49 men from that area who died in World War I. Their names are listed on a plaque at its base.

For the first 36 years of its existence, the memorial stood on private land. In 1961, the state assumed control of the land and responsibility for the memorial's maintenance.  After more than 50 years on public land, the American Humanist Association, in 2014, challenged the constitutionality of the Peace Cross in federal court. They lost the initial case in Federal District Court but then prevailed at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. If the Fourth Circuit's decision stands, memorials on public land all across the country will be fair game to be scrubbed clean of anything resembling a cross or other religious symbols. For instance, what about all those crosses that fill Arlington National Cemetery? Will they have to go, too? Think about that.

The attempt to rid the public square of any possible reference to religion has prompted a broad coalition of civic, military, and religious groups to petition the Court to hear the case and reverse the Fourth Circuit. For our part, we should petition God for the same thing. The other case involves Joe Kennedy, a high school football coach from Bremerton, Washington. For seven years, after the game when players had left the field, coach Kennedy would return to midfield, kneel, and a say a prayer of thanks. Often, he'd be joined by students and players from both schools. In 2015, the school district, while acknowledging that student participation in the activity was voluntary, concluded that the activity constituted an impermissible establishment of religion. In response, Kennedy asked for an accommodation. Would the district allow him to kneel for fifteen seconds after the game and after players have left the field, in an act now known as "Tebowing" after former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. In response, the District suspended Kennedy and then refused to renew his contract. Kennedy filed a claim of religious discrimination against the District with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and then filed suit against the District in federal court.

The suit was dismissed and the dismissal upheld by the Ninth Circuit. At the long conference, the Supreme Court will decide whether or not to hear his appeal of that dismissal. While the courts have been clear on student rights, the conscience rights of teachers and employees at schools are not as well established. At issue in this case is whether Christians must check their beliefs at the employer's door, especially if that employer is a public school. But there's also a question here of view point discrimination. After all, Kennedy isn't the only person asserting the right to kneel on a football field these days. Whatever you think of the NFL players' protest, why should freedom of speech require one group of men be allowed to kneel before the game, but doesn't require that another man be allowed to kneel after the game? 

The only answer is a phobia of religion, the same kind of phobia that wants to eradicate a memorial cross from public property. We need to pray the Court will hear these cases and halt the spread of this phobia.

Warfare prayer of the soldiers of the Army of Jesus to bind and destroy the works of the devil

Let us bind and destroy the works of the devil in the name of Jesus Christ who has conquered sin, satan, curse and death on the cross

Pr 20:17 The spirit which makes one gain bread by deceit

Message for Reflection – Sis. Angelica

We have heard of children being kidnapped. Same children, who have been cautioned and trained by their parents, escape from kidnappers and save themselves. 

The   sheep of Jesus Christ, He says, will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him. 

Jn 10:4,5 When he has driven out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the  sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. They’ll never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they don’t recognize the voice of strangers.”

These days in the institutional Churches we see many kidnappers who have taken control of Jesus' sheep claiming ownership over them.  How to identify them? The traits in them are given here.

“In the last days, people will be......   traitors, reckless, conceited, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people." 2 Ti 3: 1, 4,5

How to differentiate people who have a close walk with Jesus from those who hold only to an outward form of Godliness.  

  1. They will have the outward form of godliness. Godliness can be word out show of piety like attending Church, receiving  communion, being the member of a church, giving tithe, obeying the pastor or a leader in everything without questioning, etc. leaders by highlighting their names become popular and 
  2. Deny the power. They might sing the song that there is power in the blood and the name of Jesus. But they will never believe or exercise the power in the name and blood of Jesus.

The  power in the name of Jesus will heal the sick, cast out demons, solve any problem on earth whether it is in your  body, in the  computer you  work,  in the  satellite you  send, in the  soil you cultivate, in your  money in the bank or in the kneading bowl in your  kitchen. It can be proved by any believer of Jesus Christ.

The real sheep of Jesus Christ alone can prove it. Strangers who are not real shepherds will not be able to prove it. They will send you to doctors, counselors, pastors, chief pastors etc. They will never ask you to sit with Jesus and work out the problem yourself.

Regarding Kerala Floods – 28th, August 2018

People may question why such a great calamity hit the State of  Kerala, called God’s own country.  Scientists, archaeologists, geologists, environmentalists, ecologists, historians all might have their own answers. But the Lord God, creator of heaven and earth has his own answer for this flood and rain. Let those who have ears listen!

Sequence of events

  1. The Lord gave a warning to the Church in Kerala in the year 2006. In the Revelation book “Model Church” 30.11.2006, it is given. That was the 1st Warning to the Church in India (Extract  from the book “Model Church” 
  2. Healing of Kerala – presented on 1.11.2007 - Kerala day of Prayer conducted for the Chief Pastors of Kerala.
  3. Message of four years of Emergency period declared 2010-2013.
  4. 8.2013 – 2nd warning to the Church in India given - named “Operation Ecclesia”
  5. 10.2014 – 3rd warning given to the Church in India – 7 fold agenda
  6. Rejection of the institutional Churches – 10.10.2015 Jer 6:29,30 . The institutional, hierarchical, denominational Church has been rejected by the Lord. Is 5:6,7. The Lord asked the Churches to go back to the original sources. Acts 2:41-47. That is  the real Church. Build it up! Build small groups. Gather in houses. The Lord names it “Troop Church”. It teaches believers to fight against satan. Fighting against satan and inheriting the land should be the inbuilt character and nature of every believer. (a soldier of God). Every believer has to be a soldier for Jesus Christ.

(2 Tim 2:3-4) Until the whole institutional, hierarchical, denominational Church is rooted out from this earth, this huge business entity called “Church” today will receive blows and  meet with calamities and catastrophes. The Lord’s hand will be against this until it is smashed completely and even the dust is blown off in the wind.

"During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor its sovereignty left in the hands of another people. It will shatter and crush all of these kingdoms, (Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Pentecostal etc…etc…) and it will stand forever. Now, just as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without human hands—and that it crushed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold to pieces—so also the great God has revealed to the king what will take place after this………….”. Dan 2:44 -45

  1. A warning was given to Cardinal Alencherry on 21.10.2016 and to Syro Malankara and Syro Malabar Churches. While we were in Ernakulam for a training, the Lord gave a message on 21.10.2016 to be conveyed to Cardinal Alencherry.  It was conveyed to him in person and given in writing also. The Lord said,

“Perilous days are coming for  Kerala Church. (Syro Malabar, Syro Malankara, Chaldean, Jacobites, Orthodox etc.) You will lose all your properties, buildings and institutions. Went to meet Cardinal Alencherry at Ernakulam to give this. Mat. 10:20, 13. Gave the message for Kerala Church. Miraculously got appointment. Met Fr. Kuttickal also there.

  1. .Humble appeal to the persecuted Church in India – 26.3.2018
  2. Message of warning to the Indian Church – to be given to the Internuncio, the Papal Ambassador for India and to the Archbishop of Delhi received on 26.6.2018. Handed over in their offices at Delhi  on 20.7.2018

Answer to the flood.   Ezek. 13:10-16 and Ezek 14:12-15

From 2015 the Lord had banned me from entering into institutional Churches. Even this month one police fellowship had invited me to give a message. The Lord gave a message too. But When I asked for the address, they said, it is conducted in a building church. My flesh hesitated to inform the warning of the Lord. Hence I missed the opportunity of sharing  the message to the group.

After the flood in Kerala, pastors and believers are calling me and  coming to me to know the reason of the flood, whether it will repeat, etc. All of them seem to be  in panic. When I took up this matter and prayed for  Kerala.

The Lord spoke and gave Ezek 13:10-16 and Ezek. 14:10-15

“Because they've truly caused my people to stray saying, 'Peace,' but there's no peace."

Tell those who coat it with whitewash that it will fall. It will be washed off by the rain. Great hailstones will fall and a stormy wind will strip it off.

Look! When the wall collapses, won't it be said of you, 'Where's the coat of paint that you spread all over the wall?'  "Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says, 'In my burning anger, I'll rip it open with a windstorm. In my anger, I'll rinse it off with rain, and put an end to it with a hailstorm in my destructive rage.

I'll tear down the wall that you've smeared with whitewash, level it to the ground, and tear out its foundation. Then it will collapse—and you'll perish with it! Then you'll know that I am the LORD.  'That's how I'll vent my anger on the wall and on the ones who coated it with whitewash. And I'll say to you, "The wall is gone and so are those who coated it."

The prophets of Israel prophesied about Jerusalem and saw visions of peace concerning her, yet there's no peace,'" declares the Lord GOD. Eze 13:10-16

(This message came to me from the Lord)

"Son of Man, when a nation sins against me by a treacherous act, I'll reach out to oppose it, destroying its source of food, by sending famine against it, and by destroying both people and beast within it.  Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job lived in that land, they would only save their own lives on account of their righteousness," declares the Lord GOD.

"If I were to make wild animals pass throughout the land, so that they kill its residents and it were to become desolate because no one will travel through it due to those wild animals,

then even though these three men were in it, as I live," says the Lord GOD, "they wouldn't be able to deliver even their sons or daughters. They would only save themselves, but the land would become desolate.” Eze 14:12-16

Are They Burning the Bible in China?

At the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, they have a display of many burned Bibles. This is the book that, down through the centuries, has been burned more than any other. Ironically, that even happened sometimes at the hand of church officials. 

Now there are reports out of China of Bibles being burned. The unregulated “house churches” are particular targets of Chinese Communist persecution. The ultimate issue is one of control.

Despite the crackdown by the Communist government in China, the church appears to be growing. If the present trends continue, China is projected to be the country with the greatest number of Christians worldwide. How ironic. The elites in China are pulling out all the stops to “strangle the baby while it is still in the manger,” to quote a Chinese Communist official from the 1990s. But despite all attempts to eradicate the church, including burning copies of the Bible, they find the church growing. 

China is so big and varied, observes Todd Nettleton of The Voice of the Martyrs that many different things happen there simultaneously. Persecution and the thriving of the church can happen simultaneously. He once told me in a television interview: “Whatever you’ve heard about China, it’s true, somewhere. China is a huge country and there are places where the church is functioning with very minimal interference and functioning very well. There are also places where Christians are in prison because of their Christian ministry.” But despite the scenario where some Christians work unimpeded, there is always the threat of persecution hanging over them, notes Nettleton:  “One of my coworkers who is very familiar with China says, ‘You may have a Sunday where no pastors are arrested. But every one of those pastors knows they could have been arrested.’ So that pressure is there.”

Wendy Wright, president of Christian Freedom International, notes that in addition to Bible-burning in China, there is suppression through internet censorship. In a recent interview, she told our viewers at D. James Kennedy Ministries, “Bibles online [are] being censored. Now if you’re in China, you’re not able to access a Bible online.” There is an irony to China burning the Bible these days. In 2011 an article appeared in the Iona Institute for Religion and Society by Tom O’Gorman. He wrote:  “In the West we are doing our best to destroy our Christian heritage; but in China, Chinese intellectuals are coming around to the view that it is precisely this heritage that has made the West so successful.”

Noted author and speaker Bill Federer put it this way, “Did equality come from atheistic Communist China, where they’re still arresting illegal house church leaders?” No, of course not, equality ultimately came from the book that some Chinese officials are burning. The book that teaches the golden rule and that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves and that God made us in His image and that He will hold us all accountable one day. I hope the day will come that neither China nor the West will continue to burn or to ban the Bible, but instead, to open it up and to learn of its rich legacy available to all. As President Ronald Reagan once declared, “Inside the Bible’s pages lie all of the answers to all of the problems man has ever known.”

Romania Government Moves to BAN Same-Sex Marriage

Much of the world may be embracing same-sex marriage, but Romania – with its strong Christian influence – is going in the opposite direction. The country’s Senate voted 107-13 on Tuesday in favor of a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, one year after the lower house – the Chamber of Deputies – also passed it. The amendment now will appear on the ballot this fall for voters to consider. Three million Romanian citizens in 2016 signed a petition asking the government to place such an amendment on the ballot. 

According to Newsweek, seven European countries -- Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia – already define marriage in their respective constitutions as between a man and a woman. “We’ve been a Christian nation for 2,000 years,” said Romanian Sen. Serban Nicolae, according to the Associated Press.  Fifteen European countries have legalized same-sex marriage, Newsweek reported. A Pew Research Center survey released in June found that Romanians consider religion to be more important in their lives than most of Europe does. “The share of adults who consider religion to be very important in their lives is generally low in Europe, where 23% of survey respondents in the average country say this,” the report said. “[But] Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia and Romania, where at least half of people say religion is very important, are above the regional average on this measure.”

Prophecy NEWS Update

No Place to Hide - Facial Recognition Technology Will End Your Privacy

The Chinese police in Nanchang made news in mid-April when the press reported the arrest at a concert of a man wanted for fraud. The story was significant because automatic facial recognition systems, linked through now 176 million cameras across the country (rising to 600 million by 2020), had picked the man out of a crowd of 60,000 concertgoers and allowed the police to pinpoint his location in real time.  The episode was promoted by the Chinese government as proof positive of the benefits of the Chinese surveillance state, but the notion that an authoritarian government uses automatic facial recognition to track its citizens everywhere has sent shivers down the spine of anyone concerned about privacy and who may not have full faith in the benevolence of the Chinese government.

Facial recognition holds the promise of an incredible leap forward in law enforcement but backwards in individual rights. No longer will oppressive governments need to employ human watchers to monitor video footage. Now highly accurate computer algorithms, monitoring tens or even hundreds of millions of video feeds, match patterns of facial geometry to identify individuals, even if beards or makeup are used. A criminal suspect shows his face on a public street, at a shopping mall, in a bank or at a bus stop and an alert can immediately go out to summon police for arrest.  Tellingly, the same system can be used against terrorists, political dissidents, union leaders, human rights protestors, members of the press, the poor, or ethnic minorities. As Paul Harvey used to say, you can run, but you can't hide. Though China has made the hardest push for ubiquitous surveillance through its vast network of cameras linked in real time to computer-based facial recognition, it is far from alone. The NYPD has been attempting to gain access to the state database of facial recognition information collected for driver's licenses. 

The NYPD's Real Time Crime Center and Facial Identification Sections are not satisfied with using only the facial scans of those it has arrested but wants to link every driving adult to its camera-equipped system, the vast majority without ever having been arrested. Thousands of cameras now installed at NYC intersections, tunnels and public buildings are feeding data into automatic facial recognition systems similar to those in Communist China. As a precursor to real-time facial recognition powered by machine algorithms, Georgetown University's Center on Privacy and Technology revealed in 2016 that 26 states are already sharing facial recognition data collected on driver's licenses and 16 of those also share with the FBI, meaning that roughly half of the adult population can already be identified through facial recognition, though only upon arrest at this point. Proponents of automatic recognition systems linked to pervasive surveillance point to the ability to locate missing persons, help dementia patients, identify unconscious victims and catch dangerous felons. The drawbacks are much harder to swallow, however.

Protest movements such as Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party Movement and Black Lives Matter, were all monitored by the FBI with thousands of faces being fed into federal databases, according to recently revealed information. Those attending vigils held for victims are also common targets for facial pattern collection, representing what amounts to a chilling crackdown on free speech. With frightening similarity to Egyptian police who manually record protest marches so they can come, often in the night, to arrest dissidents for torture in secret prisons, the creation of a government database of known protestors and blacklists of Americans is unsettling to say the least. 

The latest proposal to link such automatic systems to police body cams takes the concept even further because it makes every officer a walking eye of the surveillance state. The recent leak of data on 87 million Facebook users is another cause for concern because Facebook, as its name implies, is currently the world's largest facial portrait database and the profile photos cannot be made private, according to company policies. Facebook itself ran afoul of European privacy laws in 2012 and was forced to suspend its activities after it used facial recognition automatically to tag and link photos, a dangerous proposition for those who want to stay hidden from abusive ex-spouses. 

The system showed 97% accuracy in testing, superior at the time to even the FBI's modest 85% accuracy several years prior. Now it is reported to be ready to restart its facial recognition program for all users. Even more worrying, there is strong evidence to indicate that private intelligence companies have already compiled this vast trove of 2.2 billion photos for facial recognition purposes, to be sold to governments and corporations alike.

Forbes magazine reported this year on a company called Terrogence, started by an ex-Mossed intelligence officer. For the last five years, Terrogence has specialized in the construction of huge face-scan databases, compiling the data from social networks, YouTube videos, Internet forums, blogs, official records, news articles and a host of other sources. Terrogence has been selling cutting-edge intelligence technology and information to the NSA. So, what the government doesn't collect legally through driver's licenses and arrest data, it quietly purchases from private intelligence corporations.

Marketed as an effort to stop terrorism by tracking down jihadists solely by their faces, LinkedIn profiles and leaks from former employees, their involvement in politics appears to go much deeper, with one employee describing her job as "open source intelligence practices and social media engineering methods to investigate political and social groups."  The company quietly boasts of infiltrating political groups with fake online personas in an effort to gather intelligence and create dossiers on possible subversives, all for profit and free from even the loose legal tethers of the US deep state. 

The American no-fly list is a famous example of a black list that, although a sensible project that started with good intentions, quickly spun out of control until it was banning toddlers with similar names. There was no way for an individual to know if they were on it, how they got there or if there was a way to get off such a black list. The same threat to personal liberty now exists with privatized "black lists" created from these corporate databases and, in addition to being denied access to flights, the consequences could be high-risk police stops, pervasive monitoring and restrictions on normal activities, all based on automatic facial recognition.

Communist China has made no efforts to hide what will soon be a total-information surveillance state, but the United States is quietly building out the same level of control through private contractors and a patchwork connection of corporate and government data. The reality is that all our unique facial signatures are likely already in a database, whether government or corporate, and those databases are being linked, slowly at first, to automatic facial recognition systems through cameras popping up around major cities. There will soon be nowhere to hide. Comparisons to Orwell's 1984 have become cliché by now, but what else can really be said except that Orwell never dreamed it would go this far.

Message for Reflection – Sis. Angelica

In Bangalore, I met a family from Gulbarga, Karnataka. They came to attend the school of Hospitality. After the class got over, we went to their house nearby at their invitation. It was close by. They were narrating their spiritual experiences and growth in the Lord, after they started the Troop Church in their house.  There was not enough place to sit. So we stood and prayed. The joy in their faces was unusual. They were Roman Catholics. They were telling how they came to know the truth and how they obeyed the word of God. Somebody was translating. Two girls of the family are teachers of BFF now. I was surprised to see the sudden growth in them. 

 Every soldier in the Troop Church is a seed. This seed has to be sown in the ground. When he/she starts a Troop Church in a particular place or house, this seed is sown in that particular soil of the land.

Jn 12:24 "Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces a lot of grain." It has to be watered every morning. All the troops planted in various parts of India have to be watered every morning or evening.

“When you wage war in your land against an enemy who is hostile to you, you are to sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the face of the LORD your God and you will be delivered from your enemies." Num 10:9

We have to restart the "Voice of the Troop Churches" to pray for all the Troop Churches. This will help us to remind the Lord every morning about all the Troops in the land.

Intentional Christian Grand parenting: Training up the Next Generation

Grandparents Day is coming. What better way to mark the day than to begin preparing your grandkids for a life of faith? A colleague of mine—let’s just call her Gail—was delighted when her son announced that he and his wife were expecting their first baby. Gail immediately headed for the mall and bought a boatload of baby clothes and toys. When their grandson reached toddlerhood, Gail and her husband frequently took him to parks, or out for ice cream. And now, as her grandson grows older and starts wading out into the culture, Gail wants to be a positive spiritual influence on him as well. But how?

Think about the drastic cultural and moral changes that have occurred just in the past 10 years—never mind the changes in the 50 years since today’s grandparents were growing up. America’s 30 million grandparents could never have imagined the ubiquitous presence of screens, smart phones, social media, nor the redefinition of marriage and what it means to be a man or a woman, nor the utter coarseness of popular entertainment. But this is the only world our nation’s grandkids have ever known.

That’s one reason I recommend for you grandparents my colleague John Stone street’s book “A Practical Guide to Culture: Helping the Next Generation Navigate Today’s World.”  It will help you better understand the social pressures and trends your grandkids deal with every day. And it will help you help them as well. And here’s another thing. Our culture wants us to believe that our elders belong in the retirement home or on the golf course. Don’t buy it! In fact, Chuck Colson dismissed the idea that Christians could ever retire. Sure, it might be time to walk away from the 9-5 job and start collecting a pension. But we can never retire from Kingdom work—and certainly teaching our “children and our children’s children” to love and fear the Lord as we are commanded in Deuteronomy is vital Kingdom work. It’s why the Apostle Paul praised Lois, Timothy’s grandmother, who nurtured one of Paul’s most able helpers in his Christian faith (2 Tim 1:5).

And it’s why Chuck himself took a great interest in the spiritual lives of his own grandchildren, praying for them daily, and spending one-on-one time with them. And yet, when was the last time you heard a sermon on the spiritual role of grandparents? And while many churches provide classes on Christian childrearing, very few teach grandparents how to contribute to the discipling of their grandchildren.

That’s one reason one of John Stonestreet’s friends, Larry Fowler, founded the Legacy Coalition, a ministry that encourages intentional Christian grandparenting. Several years ago, Larry said, God began to impress on him and his wife how important it was for them to become involved in the lives of their own grandchildren as additional spiritual influences—even though it meant moving halfway across the country to be near them. As he puts it, “Behind parents, grandparents are the most influential people in the lives of children and youth. We want to help leverage that for the kingdom.” He Legacy Coalition provides resources and training for grandparents and church leaders who want to come alongside the grandparents in their congregations. It also offers ideas for long-distance grandparenting.

This Sunday is Grandparents Day. If you have grandkids, I urge you to reflect on the enormous treasure that God has given you in your grandchildren—and on how God would use you to build them up in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. And please, come to BreakPoint.org, and we’ll link you to the Legacy Coalition and its resources for grandparents—and to John’s book, “A Practical Guide to Culture.”

Chinese Authorities Tear Down Crosses and Close Down Churches in Henan

According to China Aid, Henan authorities have continued to tear down crosses across China. Crosses have been taken down in Zhengzhou, Nanyang, and Yuzhou. ChinaAid reports that Christians sang hymns to encourage each other as a cross was ripped down at Gospel Fellowship Tongxin Church in Anpeng, Nanyang. So far, in the Jinshui District of Zhengzhou, eight house churches have been shut down, but altogether locals have reported that it is difficult to estimate how many churches have been closed. ChinaAid reports that Christians from Zhongmo County were informed by the local government that the crosses would be taken down. Some churches intended to cover the crosses with black veils to conceal them.

According to ChinaAid, Chinese Christian Fellowship of Righteousness made a statement last Tuesday condemning the actions of the Henan authorities, voicing outrage over the treatment toward churches and the destruction of crosses. Reportedly, in the statement, the group states that persecution against religious people, principally Christians, has escalated since February when a policy change was made in China. The statement tells of extreme oppression in the largely Christian province of Henan. Authorities in Henan have taken measures to restrict pastors and have reportedly forced churches to fly China’s flag and display a portrait of the president, violating the Chinese Christian’s freedom of religion. 

It is being reported that churches will be merged together to decrease the number to only one or two in each county. Houses of worship are being told not to display crosses outside of the church buildings. Furthermore, pastors and ministers are being required to take government supervised exams which will ask them to answer questions regarding regulations on religious affairs, government practices to secure freedom of religion, and core socialist values, among other topics.

Prophecy NEWS Update

What Happened To My Church?           

Church issues are the most frequent inquiry I get here at Olive Tree Ministries. Other leaders tell me the same. What has happened in the last 30-40 years? Many people visit church after church only to walk away disheartened. Others are lifetime members of a church and have seen changes that left it unrecognizable -- spiritually speaking.

At first, members and attendees wonder if they are being a bit too judgmental, but the sad reality eventually sinks in that something has gone terribly wrong. My background is in a fundamental church in Minneapolis that delivered verse-by-verse messages and had frequent prophecy conferences. Try to find that today! You will find a few but they are few and far between. This same church warned me about a coming apostasy back in the 1970s, but who knew it would get so bad starting somewhere in the 1990s. Nothing could have prepared me. First it was music that became the great divider. Nobody minds some guitars and a bass but into the second decade of the 21st Century, ear plugs are handed out as one enters the church sanctuary.

Some churches open with a secular song, dim the lights, add some smoky fog, and have an atmosphere similar to the local bar. All of this is to enhance choruses that will be sung two-dozen times by hypnotized church members. I would learn that it is to attract "seekers" -- a 21st Century term. Bill Hybels admitted that he came up with the term but confessed it didn't work well in his church!  Organs and pianos were tossed out 25 years ago because they did not promote "church growth." The over-age 55 crowd was on their own. Some churches threw them a bone with an 8 a.m. service for those with gray heads. That trend began "the great divide" between generations.

Someone made a conscious decision that we should have a "new way of doing church", although many members and attendees agreed there was nothing wrong with old ways of doing church. Terms began being used like "purpose-driven," "seeker-sensitive," "church-growth movement," "postmodernism", "Emergent", and more. People started to hear about love, unity and tolerance. We must be known for what we agree on, not what we disagree on. Everything and everyone must be accepted. Aberrations must be accepted. Sin must be accepted. People loved having their ears tickled. They would be encouraged to "feel good" and have their self-esteem built up. Sound doctrine was being set aside. The saving of souls was being set aside for the entertainment factor and social justice causes. It seemed that many in the church no longer cared that so many were on their way to hell! What an offensive, intolerant thought. But clearly sound doctrine will separate and divide so we must tread lightly in that area. Relevant issues have vanished. Pulpits have become afraid to talk about voting biblical values. Pastors quit speaking in favor of marriage and against abortion. It seemed like an "eleventh commandment" came into the church: Thou shalt not offend.  Taking a stand was clearly over.

When it came to issues like Bible prophecy, the silence became deafening! People were told this was "divisive" although rock music in the church apparently was not! Millions are going to be left behind at the Rapture of the Church but there are no warnings about this going out from hardly any church. Instead, pulpits are dispensing Osteen-type messages that talk about "your best life now" on this broken, corrupt planet. This is just a short explanation as to why e-mails and letters pour into this ministry and others asking about how they might find a healthy, relevant church in their neighborhood.

In 2017 my friend Terry James invited me to submit a chapter in his proposed book titled "Deceivers: Exposing Evil Seducers & Their Last Days Deception." I had been doing Christian radio across the country for many years and as I researched programs, I was reminded daily that there had been a straying from sound doctrine. I was confronted with the fact that I had two choices: I could overlook this trend or expose it. I took the warning to watchmen in Ezekiel 33 very seriously and I determined to confront the false teaching head-on and tell the truth about it. I did not want the blood on my hands! I knew this would cost me listeners and friends. I would soon find out that certain radio stations would marginalize me and even ban me for the naming of names. Was this too high of a price to pay? I had to seriously ponder that and count the cost. Could I stick with my plan? It's a big, lonely world. We need all the support we can get. My plan would not win friends -- but it might save some people from making lifelong theological mistakes by revealing who and what could be trusted and not trusted. I began my research by tracing the history of false doctrine and reckless church movements going back to the early 1900s to the present. From mystical madness such as so-called Christian Yoga to the experiential of the New Apostolic Reformation, wolves were prowling around the flock.

At the same time I saw that discernment was going over a cliff as books like "The Shack" and "Jesus Calling" were embraced as much as the Bible.  An entire movement sprang up around Todd Bentley who kicked sick people with his biker boot to heal them and this was celebrated. Evangelical organizations like the NAE embraced global warming and called for America to destroy all her nukes. What does this have to do with the gospel? Ecumenism soared and Protestants began embracing Catholicism. Kenneth Copeland announced that the Reformation was over. I observed something called the "laughing revival" and I concluded that it wasn't so funny. I could go on and on. You can see that the odds of you having a healthy, well-balanced church are slim but they are out there! If you have one, thank God for it daily. If you don't, know that you are not alone. Millions visit nearly every potential church in town and walk away perplexed and heart broken. Are they looking for perfection? A few may be but most are not.

They just know today's church would most likely not be recognized by their parents or grandparents. Jesus said the gates of hell would not prevail against the church (Matt. 16:18). Having said that, the gates of hell are trying like crazy to penetrate the church, change it, change its message, change its purpose, distort the gospel, and wear down the saints -- pastors included. In summary, GotQuestions.org says, "....the church is not a building or a denomination. According to the Bible, the church is the body of Christ -- all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation (John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 12:13). Local churches are gatherings of people who claim the name of Christ.

Members of a local church may or may not be members of the universal church, depending on the genuineness of their faith. The local church is where believers can fully apply the 'body' principles of 1 Corinthians chapter 12: encouraging, teaching, and building one another up in the knowledge and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ." Christ died for the Church and we cannot give up on it! A heavenly endless church service awaits us in Eternity with a celestial choir and orchestra. The preaching will also be out of this world! We'll all be one denomination. The bickering will be over with. We won't insist on our own way. We'll finally be in one accord.

Message for Reflection – Sis. Angelica

All that she had

We read in the newspapers about a small girl who came forward to offer Rs. 9000/-, i.e. all the money that she had saved for buying a bicycle, for the Kerala Chief Minister’s relief fund. Here is another  example of sacrificing “all that she had”.  Jesus once appreciated a widow who offered everything that she had, in the  temple offering box. Jesus did not appreciate her for the amount she put in the offering box. If it were so, there were many others who offered a lot more than her.

 “For all cast in from their abundance. But she, out of her poverty, has cast in all that she had, all her livelihood”. Mar 12:44 

This girl would have best realized the value of the bicycle which was presented to her by the cycle company,  since she would have experienced the pain, of losing her bicycle, the hope which she had cherished for a long time in her life.

I was in a Drug Addiction Relief Centre. I saw many young boys there. As we were conducting a training for them, we had to spend a few days with them. I came to know from them how they lost everything they had because of addiction. Whatever anybody gives, even a little love or affection, is a great matter for them then. Anybody who reaches out to them with the love of Jesus could easily change their lives. Thanks to the doctor family and others who have come forward to do this great ministry.

I came to understand one thing. What the  strikes, advertisement or media could not do, Jesus Christ’s love can do. How many efforts have been taken by media and people, especially ladies, to arrest Tasmac and liquor in our country, with no effects.

But here is something which gives 100% result. Make them experience the love of Jesus Christ. Those who are fallen to addiction are those who are rejected by someone in love failure, or those who are not able to carry the load of worries and anxieties at one stage of life. Introducing Jesus to a person who is drained of everything in life is very easy. Doing the same to a person who has everything they want in life, mostly results in failure. But the mistake one commits is this: Instead of introducing Jesus to people, we introduce an organization or an institution called “Church” which has been reduced to a group of people gathering for their social needs.

Can we introduce Jesus, the person to our fellow citizens? They will have the best friend in their lives!

Woman Claims Church Leader Said She Would Die if She Didn't Have an Abortion

A woman is claiming that Kofi Danso, the leader of the Miracle for All Nations, told her that God wanted her to abort the child Danso impregnated her with or else she would dieChris-Ann Bartley’s son is now 6 months old. According to a DNA test, Danso, who calls himself a prophet, is the father. Earlier this month, Danso asked the court to keep the paternity results sealed in Bartley’s lawsuit against him. He said if people knew he was the father, his reputation would suffer. Ontario Supreme Court Justice Fred Myers denied the request. "Ms. Bartley's evidence is that when she approached Mr. Danso to tell him that she was pregnant, he asked her to have an abortion. When she declined, she claims that he told her that 'the Lord showed him if I have the child I would die,'" Myers wrote. Danso is married to Rev. JoAnne Danso. They have four daughters. His wife is also pregnant with twins.

According to a July affidavit, Danos said he did not have “sexual relations” with Bartley. He said the claims were meant to make him “pay child support for the child who was fathered by another man.” After the paternity test was revealed to Danso, he said he was “shocked.” He has since said that he was seduced into the affair. "But he now admits to having been seduced by Ms. Bartley. He says that being married, he offended his marriage vows, and was too frightened to admit his limited contact with Ms. Bartley. He referred to their relationship as a mistake that should not have occurred," the judge wrote. Danso says God called him to be an apostle and prophet and “to raise champions and leaders in the 21stCentury church.” His followers call him “Papa.”

Town Bans Bible Studies in Family’s Home, Threatens $500 Fines

A religious liberty law firm filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against a Pennsylvania town that allegedly is banning Bible clubs and other religious meetings from being held on a couple’s 35-acre property. The lawsuit by the Independence Law Center against Sewickley Heights Borough – which is about 15 miles from Pittsburgh – alleges the town ordered Scott and Terri Fetterolf to stop holding religious activities on the property as part of a zoning restriction. Parties, political rallies and book club meetings are not banned under the zoning ordinance.

The suit says the town’s position violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom, free speech, and the freedom to assemble. “Government should not target religious activities for punishment, particularly when similar secular activities are permitted,” said Jeremy Samek, senior counsel for the Independence Law Center. “In America, no government can categorically ban people from assembling to worship on one’s own property.” The suit says the property “has been used for many decades to host religious activities such as seminary picnics, seminary board meetings, Pittsburgh Institute for Youth Ministry, Bible studies, fundraisers for pastors and churches, Billy Graham Foundation meetings, and many more religious activities.”

The Fetterolfs bought the property in 2003 from Nancy Chalfant, who also had hosted religious activities on the property. The borough issued a “Notice of Violation/Cease and Desist Order” in October against the Fetterolfs. “Sewickley Heights is threatening the Fetterolfs with fines of $500 per day, plus court costs including the Borough’s attorney’s fees, for having Bible studies at their home, having meetings where religious songs are sung, conducting any religious retreats for church leaders or seminary students for prayer or for camaraderie-building/fellowship time, and  conducting any religious fundraisers,” the suit says.

Ultimate Rebellion: Satanism Is Experiencing Explosive Growth In America                         

Attendance declines at Christian churches all over America, many satanic groups are experiencing tremendous growth.  For some, embracing satanism is the ultimate form of rebellion, for others it is about making an anti-Trump political statement, and yet others claim that they are attracted by the very real power that they discover in satanism.  

Every week, bizarre rituals are conducted in basements, meeting halls and public facilities all over the country, and most Americans have absolutely no idea what is going on.  Of course most mainstream news articles about satanists attempt to portray them as ordinary people that have simply been "misunderstood". And ultimately that is what the satanists are trying to do for satan - they are trying to get all the rest of us to view satan or Lucifer as a "misunderstood" being that only has humanity's best interests at heart. And since the values of satanism line up more accurately with the values of modern society than Christian values do, satanists are finding increasing success in bringing in new recruits.

Today, there are satanic churches just about everywhere.  For example, a satanic high priest named Adam Daniels started "the Church of Ahriman" in the heart of Oklahoma City...

Adam Daniels, 35, is the "dastur" - or high priest - of the Church of Ahriman, which is based in Oklahoma City, USA. 

People are looking for authenticity, but they aren't finding it in the traditional places, and so many are seeking out new options. Unfortunately, an increasing number of Americans are deciding that satanism is the answer, and that is a very, very troubling sign.

Foundations collapsing!

These days I receive many calls from the people of Kerala, either pastors or believers living in Kerala or outside. They ask questions like, “Why such a catastrophe came to Kerala? Will it continue as many prophecy over whatsapp?”…..

While I was going through the past events, suddenly I saw a power point presentation named “Healing of Kerala” which dates back to 1.11.2007. When I went through it, I was reminded of the warnings given to Kerala.

  1. “Command to the North Keralites to migrate to the Northern parts of India immediately –The reason for crop failure and famine and the following suicides in North Kerala interpreted on 7.1.2007.
  2. On June 26, 2007, the Lord revealed about the Epidemic to spread in Kerala-Message given to the Chief Pastors (later Chikun Gunea spread throughout the land and took the toll of thousands of people)
  3. Still if the Church in Kerala refuses to obey, 3rd warning given - 2 Ki.17:19, 23-28 will happen
  4. They will be uprooted from their land – People who worship alien gods will come and settle in this land with their idols . They will plunder its riches.
  5. During the evening service, Bro. Patrick Joshua led the whole Assembly (believers and pastors of different Churches in Kerala) to repentance and reconciliation. Bro. David Stewart apologized for the mistakes foreign missionaries have committed against Indians and Indian Churches.

These things cause us the answer to the above questions. When we prayed about the floods, the Lord gave the following verses.

I'll tear down the wall that you've smeared with whitewash, level it to the ground, and tear out its foundation. Then it will collapse—and you'll perish with it! Then you'll know that I am the LORD. 

That's how I'll vent my anger on the wall and on the ones who coated it with whitewash. And I'll say to you, "The wall is gone and so are those who coated it." Eze 13:10-15

In the process of rewriting the history of India, the Lord is exposing the foundations of everything in India, our culture, our religions and our Churches. The wrong foundations of the “manmade Churches” functioning contrary to the Church of Jesus Christ, is being exposed! This exposition and realization took a heavy toll on the innocent people. Since they were very much attached to these manmade institutions, the Lord has to detach them from that forcefully!

European Union Continues To Fiscally Back Hate Education Against Israel

In May 2018, the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy published a report titled "The Money Trail: The Millions Given by EU Institutions to NGOs With Ties to Terror and Boycotts Against Israel, an In-Depth Analysis."  Two months later, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Frederica Mogherini, replied to the report. Her main arguments were that allegations of the European Union supporting incitement or terror were unfounded and unacceptable -- and that terror and boycotts are two distinct phenomena.

The Israeli Ministry's report is clear and substantiated, and Mogherini should read it again. What is not mentioned in the report is that the European Union and its member states finance NGOs that harass Israel, Israeli officials, and corporations doing business in Israel and in Europe. The European Union still finances the Palestinian Authority (PA) -- and the PA still encourages Palestinians to kill Jews. As the Taylor Force Act states, "The Palestinian Authority's practice of paying salaries to terrorists serving in Israeli prisons, as well as to the families of deceased terrorists, is an incentive to commit acts of terror." It is well known that the Palestinian leaders have incited their people to kill Jews. PA leader Mahmoud Abbas even admitted that the terrorists "did what the Palestinian Authority ordered them to do," and PA official Mohammed Dahlan confirmed that "Forty percent of the Martyrs in this Intifada belonged to the Palestinian security forces ... and that the Palestinian Authority has hidden Hamas members against Israeli counter-actions."

Between 1994 and 2012, the European Union provided 5.6 billion euros to assist the PA. During 2014-15, a total of more than 390 million euros has been allocated to the PA through Pegase Direct Financial Support (DFS).  The aim of Pegase DFS is to assist the PA to meet its obligations towards its civil servants, pensioners, and vulnerable families; maintain essential public services; improve public finances; and pay teachers' salaries. Among the civil servants and pensioners who received payments from Pegase DFS during 2014 and 2015, 67% were working in the health and education sectors.

Palestinian children are taught to kill and hate Israelis in their public schools -- so by supporting teachers' salaries, the European Union financially participated and continues to participate in hate education, disregard for the lives of the Jews and others by promoting jihad, and inciting children to become martyrs. Concerning boycotts, the European Union has no qualms about applying double standards to Israel. It boycotts Israel's "occupation," but not other -- real -- occupations across the globe.

In 2013, the European Union found it appropriate to ban grants, prizes, and financial instruments (such as loans and bank guarantees) to Israeli entities in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), eastern Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. In September 2015, the European Union drafted various rules, arguing that consumers must know that some imported products come from the settlements and not from Israel. Under international law, the question of whether the West Bank territory is occupied remains far from settled. However, the European Union finds it legitimate to provide direct financial assistance to Turkish settlements in the occupied territory of Northern Cyprus.

It funds the occupation of an EU member state (Cyprus) purportedly to "end the isolation of the Turkish Cypriot community." Concerning the Moroccan occupation of the Western Sahara, European businesses and universities openly operate in these "occupied territories" without being barred from EU funding, while similarly situated Israeli entities are disbarred. China is not required to label products coming from Tibet, which it has occupied since 1951. Goods originating from "occupied territories" such as Northern Cyprus, Gibraltar, the Falklands, Western Sahara, Tibet, Kashmir, and the Russian-held regions of Azerbaijan are not specially labeled.

The European Union does not treat Israel like it treats other countries. It applies double standards by requiring from Israel "a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation." This represents antisemitism, according to the Working Definition of Anti-Semitism of the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia, and the European Forum on Anti-Semitism.

Town Bans Church Worship Services at Facility but Allows Bridge Games, Weddings and Birthday Parties

A South Carolina church filed suit Monday after a town prohibited worship services from being held in a public civic center, even though the congregation had rented the facility in the past. Redeemer Fellowship of Edisto Island had outgrown its former meeting space when it began searching for a new place to meet earlier this year, according to the federal lawsuit filed by Alliance Defending Freedom. The Edisto Beach Civic Center seemed to be a perfect fit, and the congregation rented the facility for meetings on April 1 and May 6. 

The church then requested to continue meeting at the civic center, but the town council, at its May 10 meeting, voted to ban all rentals for “religious worship services,” according to the suit. “The Town’s Amended Guidelines permit virtually all community groups to rent the Center for all expressive activities, with the sole exception of religious worship services,” the suit says. The suit notes that an Episcopal church had rented space in the civic center for five years to use as offices. The civic center also has been rented for bridge games, birthdays, weddings and Christmas parties, according to the suit. 

“Churches shouldn’t be treated less favorably than other groups that want to rent facilities,” said Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Christiana Holcomb. “The town of Edisto Beach tells the community that it welcomes ‘civic, political, business, social groups and others’ to use its civic center, but the town’s recent policy change singles out one form of expression, worship, as inferior to other forms of speech, and that’s clearly unconstitutional. Redeemer Fellowship and its members have invested in the Edisto community for years, and they deserve fair treatment and equal access to the town’s public civic center.”

Edisto Beach’s new policy violates the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty and free speech and the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection and due process clauses, according to the suit. Ironically, Edisto Beach apparently adopted the new policy out of fear of violating the First Amendment, according to The State newspaper.

“[W]hen you have worship services . . . you have signs that are put out at the Civic Center with the religious organization’s name on it and the Edisto Beach Civic Center’s name on it, there’s potential for flyers to be given out, and it gives the appearance that the Town is endorsing or supporting whichever particular religious organization that is,” town attorney Bert Duffie told the council, according to official minutes cited by The State.

House-Church Members in Iran Reportedly Sentenced to Year in Prison

 A convert from Islam in Iran said he and 11 other Christians were sentenced to a year in prison for “inclination to the land of Christianity” among other charges, according to Mohabat News. “Interrogations were obviously indicating that they were looking for confession to communications with [those] abroad, especially America, Britain and Israel,” the Christian, identified as Payam Kharaman, told Mohabat, which focuses on human rights abuses in Iran.
 
Mohabat reported last week that Kharaman and 11 other members of a church in Bushehr, a port city in southwestern Iran, were sentenced to one year in prison on charges of “propaganda activities against the system and in favor of Zionist Christianity through holding house meetings, evangelism, and invitation to Christianity and inclination to the land of Christianity.” Kharaman and the other Christians were jailed for three years following their arrest on April 7, 2015, obtaining bail only last April, according to Mohabat. Judge Abbas Asgari of the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Bushehr issued the sentence earlier this year, saying the accused would be informed last June 20, according to the verdict. Kharaman told Mohabat News that authorities began pressuring him in early 2012.

 “I was repeatedly summoned by the Office of Police Monitor Public Place in Bushehr and interrogated about evangelism and communication with abroad, and I always insisted on the belief in Christianity for myself and not for promotion of Christianity,” he told Mohabat. “Because I had a boutique shop in Bushehr, a number of officers’ family members in the office knew me and informed of heavy sentences against me, and the case which was under investigation by the intelligence office.”
  
“The harassment of religious minorities, particularly Christians, has been mandated for the Islamic Republic’s security apparatuses,” he said, according to Mohabat. “Many Iranian Christians have preferred to abandon their homes in the last two decades and leave Iran to avoid the securities and judges.”
 
Three Christians in Iran were arrested from their homes on July 24-25 following the violent arrest of pastor Yousef Nadarkhani on July 22. Pastor Nadarkhani, a convert from Islam like the others arrested, was awaiting a summons to begin a 10-year prison sentence after his appeal of a conviction for “propagating house churches” and promoting “Zionist Christianity” was upheld in May. 
 
Iran is a signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantees the right to change one’s religion. Additionally, Article 23 of the Iranian Constitution states that “the investigation of individuals’ beliefs is forbidden, and no one may be molested or taken to task simply for holding a certain belief.”  The U.S. State Department has designated Iran as a Country of Particular Concern for severe religious freedom violations, and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom this month recommended it remain on the list. Iran ranked 10th on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2018 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.

Message for Reflection – Sis. Angelica

Went back to Galilee

It hurts you, when people who were with you just leave you and betray you. Today businesses and workplaces have made this as their basic principle. Every workplace has an HR (Human Resource person). Since workplaces are running short of sincere, hardworking, intelligent people, they try to pull from another similar company or institution. They do not think or worry about the training the previous company had given to them, the confidence they put on them etc. Each company should be training and grooming their workers.  Their loss become the new company’s gain. This results in stress, strain, sickness, hatred, depression, even suicide and murder.

This happens in ministries too.

Jesus ministry was born in the midst of opposition and envy. The Pharisees always looked at Jesus with jealousy because the number of people following Jesus increased day by day.

"Now when Jesus realized that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than Johnalthough it was not Jesus who did the baptizing but his disciples he left Judea and went back to Galilee". Jn 4:1,2,3

It is the numbers of disciples each one makes,  which induces jealousy. Even today Satan induces among people the desire to have more disciples. The very persons who are with you, who promotes your ministry, might turn against you and they might take away the people who are helping you. This happened in my life so many times. When I asked Jesus about it, He answered me with one question, “Do you need people or Me”? That settled the issue.

Let us look at Jesus. He knew Judas was having secret association with the Pharisees and Sadducees. Jesus would have warned him privately. Finally Lucifer entered in to Judas Iscariot.  Jesus did not speak anything about it in public. Nowhere in the Bible we see Jesus going to Judas and trying to convince him.

Ring of Fire Lights Up With 53 Earthquakes in 24 hour Period

Is something unusual starting to happen to the crust of our planet?  The USGS defines any earthquake of at least magnitude 4.5 as "significant", and there were 53 earthquakes that met that criteria along the Ring of Fire on Sunday alone.  Not too long ago, I wrote about how "Earth changes" seem to be accelerating all over the world, but even I was stunned by the ferocity of the seismic activity that we witnessed over the weekend.  Because none of the earthquakes happened in the United States, the mainstream media almost entirely ignored this story, but that is a huge mistake. The entire west coast of the U.S. falls along the "Ring of Fire", and experts assure us that it is only a matter of time before the seismic tension that is building up along the tectonic plates in that area is released.

Much of the seismic activity on Sunday was near the small island nation of Fiji, and it is true that Fiji often experiences earthquakes because it sits directly inside the Ring of Fire...

Fiji falls in the Pacific Ring Of Fire - a massive horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific basin. The ring is formed of a string of 452 volcanoes and sites of seismic activity (earthquakes), which encircle the Pacific Ocean. Roughly 90 percent of all earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire, and 75 percent of the world's active volcanoes are dotted along the expansive ring.

It certainly is not unusual to see earthquakes happen along the Ring of Fire, but what was unusual about the activity on Sunday was the size of the earthquakes. The largest quake on Sunday was a massive magnitude 8.2 earthquake that could have done an enormous amount of damage if it had been closer to the surface...

A massive quake of magnitude 8.2 struck in the Pacific Ocean close to Fiji and Tonga on Sunday but it was so deep that it did not cause any damage, authorities in Fiji said. 

The U.S. Tsunami Warning Center also said the quake was too deep to cause a tsunami.

Earthquakes that are that deep are usually not so large.  This "deep focus" earthquake on Sunday was actually the second largest "deep focus" earthquake that has ever been recorded... The USGS calls these "deep focus" earthquakes, and while some of the biggest earthquakes to strike the earth are deep focus, their depth usually minimises damage. 

The biggest deep focus earthquake ever recorded was in 2013 when an M8.3 struck near Russia and was felt all over Asia, giving us a sense of how massive this Fiji quake was.

In addition to this massive earthquake in Fiji, other areas of the south Pacific were also hammered on Sunday as well. You may remember that the Indonesian island of Lombok was shaken by a tremendous quake back on August 5th which killed hundreds of people, and on Sunday they were hit once again.  The following comes from CNN...

A trio of intense earthquakes shook several islands in the South Pacific and Indonesia on Sunday, including two on the already battered island of Lombok. The most recent major quake was a 6.9 magnitude tremor centered just 4 kilometers south of Belanting, on the Indonesian island of Lombok. That island is still trying to recover from the devastating effects of an August 5 earthquake that killed more than 430 people.

But until big earthquakes start happening here, many Americans simply will not pay any attention to all of this.  What they need to understand is that this is truly a global phenomenon that we are witnessing, and shaking in one part of the globe can have tremendous implications for people literally living on the other side of the planet. In particular, those living along the west coast should be deeply alarmed that seismic activity along other areas of the Ring of Fire appears to be intensifying. And I am definitely not the only one saying this.  According to one British news source, scientists are warning that "increased seismic activity" along the Ring of Fire "may mean the so-called 'Big One' killer earthquake is on the way"...

If California was hit, experts warn tens of thousands could be killed.

Sadly, the truth is that we would be extremely fortunate to only have "tens of thousands" killed in the event of a historic earthquake on the west coast. The 1906 and 1989 earthquakes were actually not that big compared to some of the monster quakes that we have seen elsewhere along the Ring of Fire, but they still did tremendous amounts of damage...

Two major earthquakes have hit the Bay Area in modern history. In 1906, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake hit San Francisco and 80 percent of the city's buildings fell or burnt to the ground, leaving 300,000 people homeless and killing nearly 3,000. In 1989, a 6.9 magnitude quake caused the ground to liquefy in parts of the city and collapsed highways, killing more than 60 people. A new report from the U.S. Geological Survey says that there is more than a 70 percent chance that a 6.7 magnitude or higher earthquake will hit the area in the next 30 years.

We live at a time when our planet is becoming increasingly unstable.  In recent weeks we have witnessed earthquake swarms off of the Oregon coast, record-setting heatwaves, hail the size of softballs, and wildfires of unprecedented size and scope. There are some experts out there that would like to assure all of us that what we are witnessing is completely normal. But I think that not a lot of people are buying that explanation.

Because there has not been a major seismic event on the west coast for decades, many people have grown complacent.  They simply assume that because nothing has happened in such a long time that nothing will happen for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, the experts assure us that the "Big One" is definitely coming to the west coast at some point, and all of this seismic activity may be an indication that it is coming sooner rather than later.

House-Church Members in Iran Reportedly Sentenced to Year in Prison

August 172018 (Morning Star News) – A convert from Islam in Iran said he and 11 other Christians were sentenced to a year in prison for “inclination to the land of Christianity” among other charges, according to Mohabat News. “Interrogations were obviously indicating that they were looking for confession to communications with [those] abroad, especially America, Britain and Israel,” the Christian, identified as PayamKharaman, told Mohabat, which focuses on human rights abuses in Iran. Mohabat reported last week that Kharaman and 11 other members of a church in Bushehr, a port city in southwestern Iran, were sentenced to one year in prison on charges of “propaganda activities against the system and in favor of Zionist Christianity through holding house meetings, evangelism, and invitation to Christianity and inclination to the land of Christianity.”
 
Kharaman and the other Christians were jailed for three years following their arrest on April 7, 2015, obtaining bail only last April, according to Mohabat. Mansour Borji of advocacy group Article 18 reportedly suspects that security agencies’ inability to stop the spread of Christianity in Iran has led them to try to eliminate Farsi-speaking churches “through unlawful pressures and false accusations in revolutionary courts and seemingly legal routes.”
 
“The harassment of religious minorities, particularly Christians, has been mandated for the Islamic Republic’s security apparatuses,” he said, according to Mohabat. “Many Iranian Christians have preferred to abandon their homes in the last two decades and leave Iran to avoid the securities and judges.”  
Three Christians in Iran were arrested from their homes on July 24-25 following the violent arrest of pastorYousefNadarkhani on July 22. Pastor Nadarkhani, a convert from Islam like the others arrested, was awaiting a summons to begin a 10-year prison sentence after his appeal of a conviction for “propagating house churches” and promoting “Zionist Christianity” was upheld in May.
 
Iran is a signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantees the right to change one’s religion. Additionally, Article 23 of the Iranian Constitution states that “the investigation of individuals’ beliefs is forbidden, and no one may be molested or taken to task simply for holding a certain belief.” The U.S. State Department has designated Iran as a Country of Particular Concern for severe religious freedom violations, and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom this month recommended it remain on the list.

Unleashing the Kingdom: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Movements

Why is Christianity booming in the global South, but seemingly stagnant in the global North? A new fascinating book offers an answer. Dr. Glenn Sunshine is a long-time Fellow at the Colson Center, and he’s that rare sort of historian who sees the sweep of intellectual and cultural history, and then brings it all together in a way that not only explains the past, but advances our understanding of the here and now.

His new book, co-authored with Jerry Trousdale, is called “The Kingdom Unleashed: How Jesus’ 1st-Century Values Are Transforming Thousands of Cultures and Awakening His Church.” In the book, by telling compelling stories of God at work through ordinary people—both today and throughout history—Sunshine and Trousdale counter the prevailing myth that Christianity is in decline around the globe. Take, for example this story from Africa. Hassan, president of a ministry to Muslims, “reached out to one particularly resistant Muslim community that had martyred six Christian evangelists a few years ago.” Hassan saw the community needed a school, so he “approached the Muslim leaders and offered to send a qualified teacher (who was also a trained church planter) if the community provided the necessary resources.”

This practical assistance opened the door to these closed community. In two years, Sunshine and Trousdale describe, seven churches were planted. But there’s more to this story. Some of the local Muslim leaders, upset by the spread of Christianity, hauled Hassan before the Muslim governor of the state. He used the opportunity instead to speak about the grace of God, and how God had helped the ministry provide this community with mobile medical clinics, dentists, safe water programs, seed banks, and schools—all to serve Muslims.

As Sunshine and Trousdale conclude, “Many of the Muslim clerics who had entered that meeting burning to have Hassan deported walked away with his business card or plans for further conversation.” And that’s just one story of what’s happening in the global South. Here are some amazing statistics: In 1900, there were only nine million Christians in all of Africa; by 2000, there were 335 million. In Latin America, there were a mere 50,000 Protestants in 1900; today, there are more than 64 million and most of them since the 1960s. As Glenn told me on the Breakpoint podcast, “The fact is, the church is growing faster than it ever has in human history.” We’re seeing disciple-making movements boom across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 

The story is not the same, however, in the global North. One reason may be the bifurcated vision of the Kingdom and the Gospel that’s so prevalent in Europe and North America. We tend to focus either on individual salvation or social justice. But since the time of Jesus right up until today, wherever the Gospel has flourished and spread like wildfire, believers were steeped in prayer, and committed to a “full-orbed” vision of the Gospel. That vision includes preparing souls for heaven, but also includes advancing kingdom truth, values and restoration in social structures and institutions. Throughout “The Kingdom Unleashed,” Sunshine offers amazing historical examples of Christians who lived this way. For example, Baptist missionary William Carey sought to save souls in India, but he also introduced libraries, agricultural improvements, hospitals, and schools. Not unlike what we see today with Christians like Hassan in Africa.

Glenn writes frequently at our website BreakPoint.org, and his latest article addresses another malady afflicting the Church in the global North: Secularism. He’s spot on. And while you’re at BreakPoint.org, click on the Breakpoint podcast to hear Glenn describe his new book “The Kingdom Unleashed.” And for a full picture of what God is doing through His Church around the world, get a copy of this powerful book, “The Kingdom Unleashed,” at our online bookstore.

Warfare prayer of the soldiers of the Army of Jesus to bind and destroy the works of the devil

Let us bind and destroy the works of the devil in the name of Jesus Christ who has conquered sin, satan, curse and death on the cross

Pr 3:30 The spirit which makes one strive with a man without cause

Message for Reflection – Sis. Angelica

Born from the will of God

1997, July. Sis Gracy was telling me about the advantages of receiving immersion baptism. The very word “born again” made me uncomfortable. I did not even understand the need or the meaning of being “born again”. But I took immersion baptism after a few days and was “born again.”

"However, to all who received him, those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God’s children, who were born, not merely in a genetic sense, nor from lust, nor from man’s desire, but from the will of God." Jn 1:12, 13

Accepting Jesus leads a man to a new birth. This new birth is not like the physical first birth resulting from the union between  man and woman. The second  birth is according to the  will of God. This happens to one whom God chooses. The recruitment is done by God. But man's cooperation is very important or he will become disqualified for this calling and eternal reward.

When we are born to a father and mother on this earth, we are given a surname, “son/daughter of Mr…. We inherit their properties.

“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus”. Gal 3:26 

In the second birth we are given the surname, son of God, coheir with Jesus Christ. What a great privilege.! We become owners or heirs  of all the properties in heaven and on earth!

This batch had participants who were already doing ministry. However all of us agreed that the love, character of    Jesus was somewhere missing in us. But after this   training we realized how important it is to have Christ like character.

We learnt many new things like dealing with difficult people, criticism and attitude, Jesus as Host and, team work.

These topics were really required because love of Jesus is not in many of us today.

Chinese Crackdown on Christians Ignored By The West

Religion in atheist China is a curious thing. Officially, the 1982 Chinese constitution guarantees religious freedom for all citizens. Officially, there is no ban on Christianity, Tibetan Buddhism or Islam.  But the reality is that along with China's belt and road economic initiative, citizen-score initiative and the cult of personality forming around President Xi, the Chinese Communist Party has begun a broad crackdown on religion, including Christianity that has gone largely unreported in the West. As Xi Jinping consolidates his already vast power, any hint of Western influence is being pursued and either stamped out or "sinicized" into a Communist Chinese version.

Bibles have been seized across the country and many online retailers have removed Bibles and other Christian literature from their websites. Seeking to limit the growth of Christianity, the government has banned children from attending services in some areas and all communist party members are likewise warned against stepping foot inside churches. 

Across China, churches are required to register with the government and accept video monitoring. Also, new church construction is not legal without a permit which, in most cases,is now being withheld. Take the case of a shopkeeper, using only the name Gao in the press for fear of reprisals, who worked to save enough to build a small brick church connected to his home. In March, he was visited by more than a dozen policemen who dispersed the gathered worshipers, took down his Christian artwork and crosses and told them that they would face arrest if they gathered again without registering. Gao reported, "They were never this severe before, not since I started going to church in the 80s."

Christians, who are now estimated to number some 67 million in China, are not new in the Middle Kingdom having arrived as early the seventh century and saw a wave of conversions by missionaries in the 1500's. Later, in the 20th century, the upheaval caused by Mao's Cultural Revolution dealt a serious blow to Christianity as he sought to eradicate all religious belief. Millions of Christians were publicly humiliated or jailed and tortured or simply murdered for their beliefs. In recent decades, Christianity in China has seen a powerful revival due to  the answers it provides to the moral and spiritual questions that communist ideology cannot answer. Millions of Chinese see the moral degradation affecting their country and have turned to God and the Bible as the answer. 

Sometimes this has been in the officially recognized churches across the country but increasingly it has been in small, informal house churches. These churches are independent of the official Chinese Christian Church and are now coming under increased persecution as the government continues its campaign to sinicize Christianity in China. The term sinicize, or "to make Chinese" is an apt label here as the government has decided that instead of banning Christianity outright and forcing it completely underground, it is rewriting the Gospel to reflect Chinese Communist values. Christian moral teachings are being modified to include Chinese Communist values such as loyalty to the Communist Party. A senior official for religious affairs in China, Wang Zuoan, said at a conference for Sinicization of Christianity in Shanghai last year, "the construction of Chinese Christian theology should adapt to China's national condition." 

In rural areas, such as that of the Christian residents in a township in southeast Jianghi province, many are being persuaded to replace crosses and posters of Jesus with portraits of President Xi. A Chinese official boasted to the press that "through our thought reform, they've voluntarily done it. The move [of re-education] is aimed at Christian families in poverty, and we educated them to believe in science and not in superstition, making them believe in the Party." 

If the term "re-education" doesn't conjure up images of Cold War era concentration camps, it is only because the world has begun to ignore what is happening inside China. Experts now believe that as many as 2 million Muslims, ethnic minorities in their provinces, have also been placed in internment camps. Sometimes government officials simply tear down churches, as they did in Zhengzhou, Henan's capital. The church, in which around 100 people worshipped for years, was visited by 60 government officials from the police and the religion department. They used saws and hammers to reduce the church to little more than ruble in a matter of hours before they arrested its pastor and several young church members.  Their crime?Worshiping at an unregistered church. The church leaders had in fact attempted to register their church four times, but were ignored each time over the past several years and now destroying an "illegal" church makes for better press coverage.

In another case, government forces use threats and violence to shutter church doors. There is the story of Zion Church in Beijing, lead by Pastor JinMingri, that was ordered to install video cameras. The Pastor refused and his 1,500 person congregation faced threats and they individually received visits from the police. They were forced to sign pledges to leave the church and pressured to do so when the police visited their employers and the landlords of their apartments. Some were fired and evicted as their bosses and landlords were also threatened by the police. Disobedient churches such as Zion Church can find their pews empty long before the bulldozers arrive because of such strong-arm tactics.

The Chinese Catholic Church has declared in a recent publication that "only members of sinicized churches can obtain God's love". As more churches accept the yoke of the Communist Party rather than see their buildings demolished and their members imprisoned, such warped teachings of Christian doctrine will only increase. Along with lengthy prison terms for unsanctioned preachers and the physical destruction of unaffiliated churches, the Chinese government is attempting to co-opt Christianity for its own gain so that Christianity becomes hardly recognizable from the religion we all know and more a tool of the Party for social control.

Reports of a mosque demolition made the international press in August, but where is the coverage for the persecution faced by millions of Chinese Christians? Where the mainstream news stories of the many Christian are churches that being torn down each month or the congregation members who are being intimidated into staying home? The West has largely ignored China's large-scale effort to crackdown on Christianity by a process of sinicization, persecution and outright destruction as it tightens its hold over the minds and spirits of its citizens.

She Wrote a Letter to God… and Received a Response; 'God Answers Prayers'

A Georgia teenager wrote a letter to God and then sent it to the clouds attached to helium balloons – and was shocked this week when she received a response.

The 18-year-old teen girl, Mykehia Curry, was inspired to write a letter to God about her financial situation. She is planning to attend college. 

“God help me go to college. God this is me again, please help me get everything I need to leave Wednesday. I love you, Amen,” the letter read, according to WMAZ-TV.

Curry is heading to Albany State and will be the first person in her family to attend college, she told the TV station, although she needs a few things, including a refrigerator, a comforter and school supplies.

So, she wrote a letter to God and attached it to three balloons, never thinking it would be read by anyone. God apparently had other plans.

Jerome Jones, a part-time minister at Springfield Baptist in Monticello, Ga., found the letter Monday on a construction site.

“It was God calling me saying, ‘You need to answer this,’ and I did,” Jones told WMAZ.

Curry was surprised that the letter was answered.

“It was beautiful. It’s kind of hard to explain,” Jones said. “She was like, ‘Is this mine for real?’ and I said, ‘It’s yours. God answers prayers. I like helping people, especially young people. They’re our future.”

Nurse Who Was Fired for Telling Patients about Jesus Has Name Cleared

A British nurse who was fired for telling patients about her Christian faith was cleared last week following a two-year investigation. Sarah Kuteh – who has 15 years of experience -- worked at Darent Valley Hospital. As part of her job, she was required to ask patients about their faith during a pre-operation assessment questionnaire. This naturally led to conversations with some patients about her Christian faith, according to Christian Concern, a United Kingdom organization.

“I would … reassure them, based on the joy and peace that I really have found in Jesus,” she said. But a few patients complained, leading to her dismissal in June 2016. Even worse, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) placed restrictions on her future employment. She found another job, but due to the restrictions she was required to have a senior nurse oversee her.

“All I had done was to nurse and care for patients,” she said. “How could it ever be harmful to tell someone about Jesus?” But last week, the NMC dropped the restrictions, clearing her name. The NMC ruled, “It is in the public interest to return an otherwise experienced and competent nurse into practice.”

She was represented by the Christian Legal Centre. “But for the question on the pre-op assessment questionnaire, these conversations would not have taken place,” Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said in a statement. “Without proper investigation, she was fired and her long career as a nurse put under threat. Those who know Sarah recognize what a caring, hard-working nurse she is, and the professionalism she brings to her job. Although it’s disappointing that she was ever penalized for her actions – which were wholly motivated by compassion – we rejoice that Sarah is once again free to bring her skill and expertise to her role as a nurse.”

You shall be with me

A sister who was attending our training programme raised a question to me.

“Once saved, you are saved for ever isn’t it?”.She was affirming her question by quoting certain Bible verses also. I come to understand that there is a new teaching of hyper grace coming us these days to deceive the children of God.

The Lord gave an answer to this while I was meditating the following verse today.

Lk 23:43  “And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

Jesus said these words to a thief, a criminal throughout his life, at the last moment when his life was being taken away from this world in the midst of unbearable torture.  No one would have expected this thief to go to Paradise. But this is true. This criminal is in Paradise now and we will meet him when we go there.

Another similar incident we read in the book of Samuel, where Saul, the anointed king of Israel going to a diviner (a medium who speaks on behalf of the devil) to know about his future. She told Saul similar words:

1  Sa 28:19 “………..And tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me.

She by the power of the devil, made it clear to Saul that even though he was anointed by the Holy Spirit, he will die a miserable death in the hands of the enemies and his soul will be in hell with devils. Even though we cannot judge where Saul’s souls is now, we read that the next day Saul committed suicide.

In the latter case of an anointed man dying a miserable death and it is foretold by the devil that he would be with him in hell.

A criminal, at the last moment, by the saving power of Jesus entered heaven. This is the work of grace. What grace can do and what grace cannot do is clear from the above.

Let us work with fear and trembling for our salvation even when we are doing the Lord’s ministry.

Php 2:12  “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

Archaeologists Uncover Biblical Artifacts in Ancient Shiloh

Dr. Scott Stripling and his team are uncovering what he claims are biblical artifacts in Israel’s City of Shiloh. "Welcome to ancient Shiloh," Stripling told reporters. "This is the first capital of ancient Israel and it's a sacred spot because the Mishkan was here, the Tabernacle, where people came to connect with God." Ancient Shiloh was the place where Joshua divided the Promised Land to the 12 tribes. The city is also where the Tabernacle was located for more than 300 years. "We're dealing with real people, real places, real events," Stripling said. "This is not mythology. The coins that we excavated today – we're talking about coins of Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate, Thestos, Felix, Agrippa the First, Agrippa the Second. The Bible talks about these people. We've got the image right here."

Stripling was referring to a wall built by the Canaanites, where his team found ancient coins and thousands of pieces of pottery. “You can read the Bible, you can walk the Bible, but the ultimate is to dig the Bible," he said. "You know, when we actually get into the swill, like these students from Lea University. “They're literally – it's under their fingernails and in their nose and in their mouth and their ears and they're exposing this ancient culture. It becomes one with you. It's sort of like we came out of the soil and as we dig into the soil, we connect with God and with each other, I think, in a very important way," he said.

Abigail Leavitt, a student at the University of Pikesville, said the work is hard, but she is gaining a better understanding of the Bible because of it. "I read the Bible totally differently than I did before I came here, and I can see when I read the Bible I know the places, I know what's going on,” she said. “I understand it more deeply, especially where previous archaeologists have claimed the archaeology disproves the Bible. But when we dig here, we find that everything matches. You read it in the Bible. You dig in the dirt and there it is," she said. Stripling said the work isn’t about “proving” or “disproving” the Bible, but about getting a clearer picture of the background of the Bible. "For me this is sacred soil. This is where the Mishkan was that answers the most basic of all human questions: 'How do I connect with God?' And I think that's their most basic question," he said.

‘Jesus Saved Our Lives,’ Says Mexico Plane Passenger Who Recorded Viral Video

The passenger of the Aeroméxico plane who recorded a viral video of the accident credits Jesus for saving all 103 people on board. Ramin Parsa was recording the takeoff out his window when the plane descended and then crashed. The video shows the plane speeding down the runway when the weather becomes more menacing, with heavy rain and then hail. As the plane crashes, Parsa can be heard praying to Jesus. “People are screaming, and I was praying – I was praying to de nombre Jesus, de nombre Jesus, so Jesus saved our lives,” Parsa told NBC News. Parsa wrote on Twitter, “Jesus Christ is alive. He saved me from a plane crash. Forever I’m grateful to Him.” His Twitter bio describes him as “An ex-Muslim whose life the Lord Jesus has changed. I Serve Christ to make His Love known.” He is an author, speaker and evangelist.

The plane was traveling from Durango, Mexico, to Mexico City. No one was killed, and many walked from the plane unharmed before it was engulfed in flames. An Illinois priest, Father Esequiel Sanchez of Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe church in Des Plaines, Ill., was on the plane. He was celebrating his birthday with friends. “Yes, I do think it was a miracle,” Sanchez, who suffered multiple arm fractures, told NBC News. “If the plane was traveling a little faster before it hit the embankment or flew a little higher, I don’t think we would have walked out.” Alberto Herrera, another passenger on the plane, told NBC News that the “cabin just started filling with black smoke.” “At that point, what we wanted to do is you wanted to find the nearest exit,” Herrera said.

Frightening Warning about Approaching Solar Flare Destruction Revealed Within Revelation

The scriptures tell us that the earth will be destroyed a total of three times. The first was by water during the days of Noah to purge unrepentant man from the earth and restore God's order. The next time the earth will be destroyed is during the Tribulation period through a series of various events; several of which are clearly described as resulting from fire in which the Lord will once again purge unrepentant man from the earth. After this second restoration (Isaiah 65: 17-25), the Lord will reign on the Earth for 1,000 years. The Book of Revelation then states that after this period, the world once again turns wicked and God executes the third destruction. In this final destruction, the Earth and heavens (the entire universe) will pass away with a fervent heat and a new heaven and a new Earth (of a different kind without day or night) will be created to last for all of eternity.

The Scriptures provide the framework by which the end-times will unfold and describes a world where there must be a convergence of religion, economics, and leadership. Right now, we clearly see these new systems and ideologies merging and most surmise that a one-world financial system will emerge as nations' economies become more unstable. The Bible also talk about the characteristics of the last generation and we are the first generation in human history to meets all of the conditions described in the Scriptures. The Bible also states that during these last days there would be unprecedented Christian and Jewish persecution of which we also see the framework being laid today for such a scenario. There is scarcely a day that passes in which we don't hear of events around the world which continue to lay the foundation for the final days as described in His Word; however, the scriptures also talk about geographic and cosmic events within the Book of Revelation that will devastate the earth and result in the death of millions or billions of people. The truth is that the foundations for these cataclysmic cosmic events are also being laid today!

In this article, we will be focusing on only one of the fire-related destructive events described within Prophecy during the Tribulation period, and new discoveries made that are foreshadowing its passing. We may not know the day nor the hour of such events, but we can clearly see the season approaching. Many are familiar with the prophetic event within Revelation that describes 1/3 of the Earth being burnt up along with 1/3 of the trees and grass (Revelation 8:7). John's wording is compact and precise and tells us exactly what he's seeing. Based on the wording of the text, many theologians and astrophysicists claim that what is being described could be the occurrence of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun hitting the Earth!

The surface of the sun consists of dense, super-heated Plasma. Think of the sun as a ball of liquid FIRE - burning at around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and not as having a surface that is on fire - but is literally fire through and through (i.e. like a lake of fire and not a lake on fire). CMEs are always being emitted from the sun, but should a large one on an unprecedented scale directly strike the Earth; this dense superheated plasma would push away part of the Earth's atmosphere. This would expose the stratosphere to the -150 degrees Fahrenheit temperature of space which would instantly crystalize all the moisture within the stratosphere. As the CME pressure wave continues to push through the atmosphere, it would compress the ice crystals into hail balls. This is exactly what is being described within the text of Revelation. John described that before 1/3 of the Earth was burnt up, "there came hail and fire"; seemingly contradicting states of matter. As the CME continues into the stratosphere, it would then vaporize all planes, birds and flying insects which also comply with the next description from John that the coming of hail and fire was "mixed with blood". The CME would then continue to the surface of the Earth where John clearly described that this hail, fire and blood is then, "cast upon the earth" - burning up 1/3 of the trees and grass! As you can see, John's description is specific and intended to be in chronological order; describing exactly what one would expect if an unprecedented CME did indeed strike the Earth.

Some may believe this is nothing more than theory or speculation of what events could occur within the end times, but the reality is that various governments from around the world have realized this approaching Biblical event is entirely real, and they are already preparing for it.

What Governments Don't Want You to Know

Since God commonly utilizes His own creations to carry out judgment as we see this time and time again throughout the Old Testament, then we know if this CME scenario is true, we may already be seeing the foundation of this event unfolding today. First, something has changed within the last 10 years regarding how governments are planning for continuity of operation; they're now thinking global. Recently, governments all over the world have built over 1,000 doomsday seed vaults to ensure the survival of the human race. The largest that we know of is the Norwegian vault on the island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Circle. In addition, governments have begun building massive underground bunkers and small underground cities carved within the bedrock of mountains for their leadership.

But the most frightening signs are the ones hiding in plain sight...

First, unknowing to most, Earth's magnetic field, which normally protects us from high energy particle emissions from the sun, is collapsing! With a reduced magnetic field, solar radiation and CMEs will now have a greater impact on the Earth than ever before. In fact, the European Space Agency recently launched a satellite array that monitors solar activity and the impact it has upon the Earth. During the first 6 months of operation, it was revealed that the Earth's magnetic field was not only indeed collapsing, but that it was happening 10x faster than researchers first realized. In addition, recent discoveries by astrophysicists in Japan have revealed that our sun is in fact capable of producing what is now being called a "super flare" which is 20x - 1,000x more powerful than any flare witnessed on our modern age. They're referring to a CME that would be substantially larger than the one which occurred in the Carrington event of 1859. The "super flare" being described by researchers would be so powerful, with Earth having a weakened magnetic field, it could truly penetrate the stratosphere; causing the events described by John in revelation.

The Lord Has Already Warned Us that This Is Coming...

We are told to do look for the signs for the end of our age, and it appears that the Lord has already warned us that the event described by John is indeed coming soon. During July, 2012, a massive CME ejected from the sun and crossed Earth's orbital path; missing us by only one week! This particular CME was unprecedented in size (X-class), and if the flare would have erupted just one week earlier it would have hit Earth square on. This CME blast was so massive that NASA referred to it as "The Solar Super storm of 2012" and believe it would have knocked our civilization back to the 18th century - leading to panic, war, starvation and disease. This near miss was so shocking to various unaware agencies, they kept the event SECRET from the public for one and a half years before finally revealing it to media at a recent space summit.

Following Europe's early flare detection system, NASA has also recently launched their own CME detection satellites, named "STEREO", which will gives the US Government a 12 to 24 hour notice in the case of an approaching catastrophic solar flare.

I was speaking to a Roman Catholic boy this evening. He is convinced about the philosophical rich knowledge he got from the Roman Catholic Church and its rich traditional background.  I was telling him that the richness and freshness of the Word of God is so real and far above the traditions.

Many things are written in Bible. Even though many read it, all of them do not understand the meaning hidden in them. For example, even though I was reading Bible from the day I entered the convent, 30 years, one of the basic and important truths written in the Bible about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ was hidden from me. After coming out of the convent, when I read Bible for the first time, Lk. 1:31-33 made sense to me and it spoke a lot of things.

“The Lord God shall give Him the throne of His father David. And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there shall be no end”. Luk 1:33 

I started thinking, ‘during the first coming of Jesus Christ, none of the facts mentioned happened. When are these things going to happen?”

The facts about the  Second Coming became so clear to me and I did not need anyone to explain it.  I started teaching them wherever I went.  The first three years all the topics which I preached was about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The help of Holy Spirit is very much needed in understanding the Bible. He removes the veil over our eyes to see the hidden truths in Bible.

“And they did not understand any of these things. And this saying was hidden from them, nor did they know the things which were spoken”. Luk 18:34 

All the things written in Bible are not revealed to everyone. Many things are hidden. We should ask the Holy Spirit to remove all the blocks, open our eyes to see the truths written in it. Those whose eyes are opened towards the hidden truths, will find time to read it anywhere.

Testimony at Bihar

Sister Rani requested to pray for the healing and release of her Sister Suhashini after the school of healing got over and we prayed for healing and commanded and released her to be healed in Jesus name. After that she invited us to her place since she was bed ridden and doctor advised her to take rest for the damaged spinal cord injury.

In the mean time we were called by another house to pray and share the word of God. There we got stuck as we were ministering till late night as one after another people came  requesting us  to pray as the word of the Lord was strong saying Come unto Me and I will give You rest and there was God's Power  available to heal.

There were deliverance and healing and we could not go to see Suhashini's house.

Since we already prayed, Suhashini the next morning she got up and walked for the first time after one month.

Since Sister Rani was taking water baptism that day and she requested us to come at her place to see sister Suhasini.

Sister Suhashini had a non-fatal fall ,  was preparing for her exams on the terrace of her house where while getting up she slipped and fell to the ground damaging her spinal cord and was bed ridden with an  advised by the doctor for taking rest. She was also advised to wear a belt and for one month could not get up nor sit.    

We all went to their house and they told today was the first day she got up and made her walk.

Since she had pain she requested us to pray. We commanded the pain to leave her and the pain left, removed the belt and walked.

Then their grandparents requested us to pray and were healed and then their mother requested to pray for her giddiness we told Sis. Rani now since you have seen how we prayed you too can command sickness to go and she did prayed for her own mother and she testified she got healed.

Then we all prayed together where Suhashini also joined us and she was more than 15 minutes standing.

All praises to our God in Jesus name.

I thank Jesus for the Power of His Holy Spirit bestowed on us to bring forth fruits.

New Bible Survey Reveals Christians’ Bible Reading Habits

The average Bible reader spent 24 out of the last 30 days reading Scripture in the early morning, read the Old Testament far less frequently than the New Testament, and found the Prophetic books of the Old Testament the most difficult to understand.

That’s according to a survey of 6,000 Bible readers by the Christian book publisher Crossway that examined Bible reading habits of those who read Scripture regularly. 

Among the findings:

  • Early morning is the most popular time of the day to read the Bible. Bible readers spent, on average, 24 days of the past 30 days reading Scripture in the early morning. The second most popular time was late morning (21.59 days), and the third most popular time early afternoon (20.75 days). Late evening (19.02 days) was the least popular time.
  • “Women are more likely than men to journal and use devotional resources” while reading Scripture. Men use commentaries more frequently than do women.
  • The Old Testament Prophetic books (Isaiah-Malachi) are the section of Scripture hardest to understand.
  • Nahum is the book least likely to have been read in the past month. Matthew and Psalms are the books most likely to have been read during that time.
  • The Old Testament is far less likely to have been read in the past month than the New Testament. Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs and Isaiah are the Old Testament books most likely to have been read.
  • The books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts and Romans are the most popular books to read in the New Testament.

The biggest barriers to reading the Bible, according to the survey: 1) not having enough time, 2) lacking motivation and discipline, 3) feeling intimidated, and, 4) struggling to apply the Bible to everyday life.

Assault on Christian Leader in Nepal Reflects Growing Threat

Pastor Sagar Baizu, 46, had finished one meeting and had an hour before the next one, so he decided to stop at a café on a major thoroughfare in Kathmandu, capital of Nepal, on July 19.

As he was about to sip a coffee in the crowded café at 2 p.m., six to eight men suddenly attacked the spokesperson and co-general secretary of the Federation of National Christians in Nepal (FNCN) from behind.

“They beat me for a minute and a half and suddenly fled the site,” Pastor Baizu told Morning Star News. “They said, ‘We will blast your church and all the churches with bombs and shoot you and all your leaders.’”

He became dizzy from many blows to his head by two of the assailants and could not see the faces of any of them, he said.

“I just could not understand what was happening to me for about 10 minutes after the assault,” the pastor said.

After cafeteria staff members helped him regain his bearings, Pastor Baizu informed police, who arrived in about 20 minutes.

Though he sustained no visible injuries, he received immediate medical attention, and doctors advised him to wear a neck brace for a week and to rest his head as much as possible.

Pastor Baizu, who has headed Anugrah Vijay Church (Grace Victory Church) in Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu District, for 23 years, filed a report on the assault with police, and the chief district officer has taken it seriously, he said.

Police registered a case against six to eight unidentified men under “attempt to murder” and “threat of bomb blast,” he said. The chief district officer instructed Kathmandu Valley police to provide security to the pastor, and policemen have been deployed outside his church building and residence. They told him to inform security personnel whenever he leaves home.

HIGH PROFILE

Pastor Baizu has been advocating on behalf of Nepali Christians for more than 10 years.

“I am the official spokesperson of the Federation of National Christians in Nepal and have been speaking about the rights of the church for many years now,” he said. “This is not the first time that I have received threats.”

Asked if the attack could have resulted from personal animosity, Pastor Baizu said he had no personal enemies, and that he had no doubt he was assaulted for his boldness to “stand for the church and with the church.”

“This is persecution that came because of my Christian activism,” he said. “They spoke about bombing the church and killing the Christian leaders. Otherwise they would have never spoken like this.”

He was a high-profile advocate for Tupek Church in Kathmadu after a bulldozer arrived to demolish its building about four months ago. The pastor also recalled how four Christians were jailed for a week after a mob of Hindu extremists assaulted them for singing Christian songs on a roadside.

The hard-line Hindus held the young Christian men until police arrived, and officers arrested the four Christians and set the assailants free, he said. A case was registered against the four Christians, who were released on bail.

The assault on Pastor Baizu comes amid a rash of anti-Christian hostilities this year. He said increased threats on the Christian community in Nepal is a matter of great concern.

“Every day we hear about one or the other incident in Nepal,” he said, adding that the government is not doing enough to protect the rights of Christians, and that radical organizations are taking advantage of this laxity.

A team of Christian delegates recently met with Nepal’s home minister but were disappointed with the cold response, he said.

Prophecy NEWS Updates

Syria & the End Times

With all the events taking place in Syria right now, many people are asking, "What does the Bible have to say about Syria and the end times? 

Is this the beginning of World War III and Armageddon?" Those are legitimate questions, but let me assure you, this is not the end. How can I be so sure? Because the Bible says Armageddon takes place at the end of the seven year Tribulation (Revelation 16:16), and the Tribulation has yet to begin. That said, I believe recent events in Syria have great significance when it comes to the study of bible prophecy. This doesn't mean you're guaranteed to see the immediate fulfillment of any specific bible prophecy. However, it does mean you should pay close attention. 

Why? Because, at the very least, these events are setting the table for the fulfillment of multiple bible prophecies. Just look around you. The signs of the Second Coming are everywhere. The restoration of Israel (Isaiah 11:12)... The Jews back in Jerusalem (Luke 21:24-28)... The Gospel preached to the world (Matthew 24:14)... An increase in travel and knowledge (Daniel 12:4)... The rise of the European Union (Daniel 2:43)... And many more. 

Jesus says once you see all these signs come together, His return is near (Luke 21:28). This means the Tribulation is close, and you should expect to see the fulfillment of many end times prophecies in the near future.

Below are two prophetic events especially relevant to the ongoing events in Syria. The first could take place at any moment. I believe a careful study of the Bible reveals the second event will take place sometime after the war foretold in Psalm 83. 

Either way, both events could be very close to fulfillment. While both could still be several years away, breaking events could lead to their fulfillment in this very hour.

The Destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17)

Chapter 17 in the Book of Isaiah paints a sobering picture. In it, the city of Damascus is a pile of rubble. The Bible says it will disappear from the face of the earth and become a heap of ruins (Isaiah 17:1). At the same time, large parts of northern Israel will also lie in ruin (Isaiah 17:3). Now, before you say this prophecy was fulfilled during Old Testament times, keep this in mind... This passage says Damascus will cease to be a city (Isaiah 17:1). 

It will be utterly and completely destroyed. Yet, Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on record. Its history goes back more than 5,000 years. At 2,600 years old, the Book of Isaiah itself is new compared to Damascus! This prophecy is yet to be fulfilled.

So how do current events in Syria relate to Isaiah 17? 

Following the U.S. strike on the Syrian Syrian chemical weapons facilities, a statement was issued by the Russian ambassador to the US saying: 'Again, we are being threatened. We warned that such actions will not be left without consequences."

While this statement was clearly in response to a U.S. attack, Russia, Iran & Syria have made it clear they will respond to any nation they view as an aggressor. This includes Israel and makes a much more likely target than Syria or Russia retaliating direclty against the US. Hezbollah is part of the Iran/Syria/Russian alliance and would be more than glad to launch targeted attacks into Israel with backing from these nations.

While it hasn't been a major news story, Israel has also been bombing Syria. They've attacked Hezbollah targets in Syria several times over the last year and last week bombed an airbase that resulted in several Iranian Republican Guard deaths, including a Colonel. Hassan Nasrallah, The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group said the Israeli airstrike on an air base in central Syria that killed seven Iranians was a "historic mistake" that has brought Israel into direct conflict with Tehran. "This is unprecedented in seven years of war in Syria that Israel directly targets Iran’s Revolutionary Guard," Nasrallah said.

Israel issued it's own threats in response, with senior Israeli security officials saying that if Iran strikes at Israel from Syrian territory, "Assad's regime and Assad himself will disappear from the map."  They continued, "Our recommendation to Iran is that it does not try to act because Israel is determined to continue on this issue to the very end."

If Syria and its allies view their situation as desperate, they may decide to use these bombing raids as an excuse to launch a chemical attack on Israel.  This is because drawing Israel into the war could rally the Muslim world to Syria's side. Saddam Hussein tried this same tactic during the first Gulf War. In 1991, he fired Scud missiles at Israel in an effort to draw them into the war and break up the coalition aligned against him.

If Syria, Hezbollah, or any of their allies managed to strike Israel with a weapon of mass destruction, the response would be swift. Israel would most likely respond in kind. If their intelligence revealed the Assad regime was behind such an attack, nuclear retaliation on Damascus would not be out of the question.

While this is all speculation, and not necessary how Isaiah 17 will be fulfilled, it shows how realistic a near-term fulfillment of this prophecy could be. With current instability in the region, and so many warring factions in Syria, events could spiral out of control very quickly.  At this point in time, it's not difficult to imagine a scenario in which Damascus is completely destroyed.

The Gog of Magog War (Ezekiel 38-39)

Current events in Syria are also setting the stage for the Gog of Magog War. More than 2,600 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel warned of a future time when a vast coalition of nations will attack Israel. Ezekiel identifies these nations as "Magog, Rosh, Meschech, Tubal, Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, and Beth-togarmah" (Ezekiel 38:1-6). These nations have since come to be known as the Gog of Magog alliance.  Now, with the exception of Persia and Cush, I realize most people have never heard of these nations.  But keep in mind Ezekiel used the names of these nations as they were known in his day. Each one is a clearly identifiable nation today. So who are these nations in our day and time?

Below is a list. The Old Testament name is listed first, followed by its modern day equivalent:

Rosh = Russia

Magog = Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan

Persia = Iran

Cush = Sudan

Put = Libya

Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Beth-togarmah = Turkey

Collectively, these nations have never attacked Israel. In fact, in the history of the world, such an alliance of nations has never existed. 

But today we see it coming together right in front of us. Since 1989, Russia and Iran have gradually strengthened their diplomatic, military, and economic ties. 

Yet, in the first 2,600 years after Ezekiel recorded his prophecies, the nations of Russia and Persia (Iran) had never been part of any alliance of any sort. Never. Cooperation between Russia and Iran, especially military cooperation, didn't take place. 

This led many people to claim Ezekiel's prophecy was symbolic. Why? Because the idea of the Gog of Magog war seemed absurd. After all, at the dawn of the 20th Century, Russia was an orthodox Christian nation and Israel didn't exist! 

But those who believed in a literal interpretation of the Bible knew otherwise.  They knew all prophecy would come to pass. Because bible prophecy doesn't come from mere humans. It's God's Word (2 Peter 1:19-21).

In the years since, the stage has been set for the literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39. A 1917 communist revolution transformed Russia from a Christian nation to an atheist nation. In 1948, Israel once again became a nation. And earlier this week, Russia and Iran issued a joint statement vowing to respond with force to any aggressor.

And Turkey? For decades, people have wondered how Turkey could be a part of this alliance. After all, Turkey is a member of NATO. 

And in late 2015, Turkey shot down a Russian jet when it strayed into Turkish airspace. Russia and Turkey seem to be at odds. 

So how could Turkey be a part of this alliance? At first glance, it seems unlikely. But in the summer of 2016, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan jailed thousands of political opponents. And recently, Turkey voted to eliminate its parliamentary form of government and give expanded powers to Erdogan. 

Ultimately, this could be what pushes Turkey into the Russian sphere of influence. Erdogan is an anti-Western, pro-Islamist leader, and he's worked hard to strengthen Turkey's ties with Russia. 

He has had several heated exchanges with Israel's Netanyahu in the press and has shown support for the Hamas uprising along the border in Gaza.  Turkey has clearly shifted from friend to foe over the past decade and presents a direct threat to Israel having one of the largest militaries in the region.

In light of these developments, we can see the Gog of Magog alliance coming together for the first time in history. For the first time since Israel re-emerged on the world scene in May 1948, the main players of the Ezekiel 38-39 alliance are all working together. Even more important, they all have military personnel close to Israel's border. The stage is set for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38-39.

What Will Ultimately Happen?

While terrible destruction awaits Damascus (Isaiah 17:1), northern Israel (Isaiah 17:3), and the entire Gog of Magog Alliance (Ezekiel 38:19-22), we have reason to be hopeful. Because of these events, the Bible says people will soon look to and acknowledge their Creator - the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Isaiah 17:7). When He strikes down Israel's enemies, the whole world will know He is the God Israel (Ezekiel 38:23).

In the days and weeks ahead, we can't be certain what will happen in Syria. But in the long run, we can be absolutely certain the events of Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 38-39 will be fulfilled. Damascus will lie in ruin, and the Gog of Magog Alliance will be destroyed. These events are certain. 

Because whatever He has declared, God will bring to pass (Isaiah 14:24). And when these things happen, the world will no longer be able to deny Him. He will destroy the enemies of Israel in plain view of the entire world. "In this way," says the Lord. "I will show my greatness and holiness, and I will make myself known to all the nations of the world. Then they will know that I am the Lord." Ezekiel 38:23 (NLT)
