Warfare prayer

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

Pro 3:31 The spirit which makes one envy the oppressor

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Ruler over many things

“And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey”. Mat 25:21

When I was reading the above verse, the question  came  “Why for one five, for another  two and for the third, only  one?  The answer is “according to his several ability”.

When and  how did the Master measure the ability of a  person?

The Almighty  God’s eyes are  revolving  round the world and are watching   human beings. Not only Christians, but all the children whom He created. He makes an  assessment of  each one’s ability day by day.

  1. When  opportunities are given to a person, how one  uses it,
  2. When there is no opportunity at all, how one  invents 
  3. How one  liberates himself to fit into the opportunities

Even before one attains  salvation,  the above said  abilities  are assessed.  Along with “Salvation” talents are given for trading. He has to invest the ‘talents’   into the Kingdom of God and do “trading”. When one is successful in  multiplying them,  the  master gives him the  “award” of

“Ruling over  many things” (Mat. 25:21)

“His lord said unto him, Well done,  thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord”. Mat 25:21

Adam had lost the authority of “Ruling over” (Gen 1:26) when he disobeyed God.  Here one restores it. He gives you the talents. How did you make use of them?

Are you a  ruler over ‘many things’,  ‘less things’ or nothing at all? 

Forgiveness and Reconciliation Program at Mumbai, Jan 14th & 15th

According to the theme of year 2017, the first FRP {Forgiveness and Reconciliation Program} was held in Mumbai on the 14th and 15th of Jan. Participants from various states like Chennai, Haryana, Gujarat, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Bangalore, Goa etc came to attend this program. In all there were 36 participants for this meet. The hand of our Lord was upon this program even during the preparatory works. In a very short period the entire program was scheduled and the meeting went on very smoothly. The presence of the Lord was all around the place. Participants enjoyed the meeting. Also the theme of deliverance and reconciliation was accepted by all. Everyone took up responsibility to start FRP in their own cities, towns and states. The concept of starting Gift School was introduced in this meet. Participants were delivered from the bondage of unforgiveness, anger, depression, fear, oppression etc. They realized that by not forgiving others they put themselves into prison and bondage.1 brother named Deepak was totally healed from all his health issues. All glory and praise to the Lord.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation Program Testimonies

My eyes of understanding opened and I could see the deception of satan in my life. Everyone prayed  for me and I felt truly blessed.  I liked  the teaching on healing programme My ears were blocked and felt  weak in my hearing ability. When prayed in the name of Jesus Christ  my block in the ears  removed  and received a complete healing.Praise the Lord and Thank you Jesus.

I want to attend a  BFF programme in Chennai and after that I plan to take forward  the FRP in  Maharashtra. 

(Sharda  Bahl  (Chembur, Mumbai)

I had many doubts about forgiveness and why people suffer etc but after attending F &R programme my doubts were cleared. Because of my stubbornness in my heart I never forgave some people who  persecuted me .This programme helped me and forgave  all these people  and now I feel free and happy and my stubborn heart now started to melt .I have now started to pray for those who persecuted me because  of the word of God I received during the Troop church meetings. The style of Troop church praying like forming a  circle and pray for the person placed in the middle is very useful and effective.

(Dr. Amos Tamang )

This  programme  helped me to change myself  and  as expected  I am able to see myself  and learn to forgive others.

( Jumi Dora  Arunachal Pradesh)

I praise God that the Lord showed  me and showed  me  the names that  I could forgive them. My eyes were literally opened  when Matthew 5: 23-26 & Mat: 18: 23-35 was shared.The message from the above chapters inspired me and I feel free and peace.The testimony of Br. Deepak touched me a lot. I am very excited to organize F & R programme and pray to  God to lead me on this.

(Pratibha Amanna,  Baroda, Gujarat)

I felt  the presence of God. Everywhere peace and tranquility prevailed in the area. So much encouraged. It is really God  doing is. I  learned  so many truths hidden  in the Bible.  Very good teaching! Everything went well by God’s grace . Mainly changed  my views about forgiveness.  I studied the method of healing. Class of forgiveness and the Deliverance from the bondages touched me the most. I will start troop meeting in Bangalore,  also FRP and  BFF. I will  take the messages and reveal 2 people in Bangalore

What is Troop Church ?

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

  1. It has independent first line second and third line Troop Churches
  2. It has raised many leaders, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.

  4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
  5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
  6. No money collection or transaction.
  7. No election, board, Committee etc.
  8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
  9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
  10. No pollution or corruption with money or power.

11.The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication .

BFF Testimonies

Praise The Lord !!

I am Santhosh Vuppala from Hyderabad.

I attended BFF training this year March 2016.I came to BFF training for just accompanying my family members. As I am a business person I dint expect that I will attend this training. Because one person deceived me in the business, He robbed my money and he was missing. And I am answerable to many people. I don’t know what to do. Because the money is worth of  so many lakhs, I decided to commit suicide. But God stopped me by showing my wife face. In such a circumstance I came to attend this BFF training.

I shared this problem to Sister Angelica in the First day itself, she informed me that, you will be taught how to face the problem and get delivered. Every session was an eye opening class. Especially preparation for anointment session and Anointing day was a great unforgettable day in my life because God enabled me to forgive the person who deceived me, but the pain in my heart remained in me. So in the preparation of Anointment session they told us to take Jesus to the situation to forgive people. So I literally took Jesus to the person and telling him that they are the people who deceived me. Immediately the pain was relieved from my heart. Halleluiah!!!!!!!

I was heavily anointed in the anointing session. In the Gift class of Prophecy, my neighbor wrote prophecy regarding my issue that “….They are arranging money for you”. So I believed that God will perform miracle for us.

Then we came back to home and started exercising the Spiritual gifts. We saw the glory of God in our life. Later we started Troop church, APT, BFF, ADT in Hyderabad and Warangal. While we were organizing these meeting with the zeal, we saw the Lord’s hand was with us. The person who deceived us, was caught miraculously and the money was also restored  And the prophecy I received in BFF was also fulfilled.

These are the promises that the Lord gave us,ISAIAH 29:14 “Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."

ISAIAH 42:3 “In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;”

Such a wonderful God we serve. Thanks to God for His redemption and for His wonderful deeds.

TEACHING: Truth about baptism – Bro C.Umashankar IAS

TEACHING: Truth about baptism –  CSI baptism, “it is a counterfeit currency”, thus says the Lord. Can the CSI believers escape hell fire?

What happens when a blind leads a blind? (Luke 6:39).   

THE HEART TALK:

The Lord spoke to me sometime ago and informed that His children in the CSI are deceived through  fake baptism and they are landing up in Hell. The Lord wanted me to give Him a promise that I would preach the CSI people the truth about baptism. I said, 'yes' to the Lord. Thereafter the Lord opened the doors for my ministry in CSI churches. There I preached the truth about baptism as per the Holy Spirit guidance.

     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQbX-KZASzM&index=6&list=PLOW2MfOIuVcXBx3fGZyN58i5UKmR2U9MI

     Prior to that I was constantly praying for the salvation of CSI believers in my midnight / early morning prayers. The Lord answered me and spoke to me, as stated above.

 

PURPOSE STATEMENT:

     This document is released to enable one to know about the true baptism, the one true baptism introduced by Jesus – why one should get baptised, at what age one should get baptised and in what manner one should get baptised.

     Heaven should be filled with millions of souls and hell's doors should be tightly shut.

     This document is not only meant for CSI and related churches which have introduced their own baptism procedure but also their parent church – the Roman Catholics who have invented a lot of such “innovations” thus filling up hell in great numbers, over centuries!

     Churches such as TELC, London Missionary Church, Salvation army may also benefit if they read this write up and comply with the word of God. After all, eternal hell fire is not a pleasant reward, especially after having access to the word of God – Bible.

 

THE ONE VITAL QUESION!

Which is the true baptism?

  1. a) Full water immersion baptism, or
  2. b) Child baptism followed by “confirmation” - also called CSI baptism, or
  3. c) Sprinkle water baptism – also called Roman Catholic baptism.
  4. d) Pouring water baptism

It is quite possible that through this write up, you may also come to know whether baptism is required or not.

 

TO PONDER OVER

“Baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin?”

     Mark 11:30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”

 

LET US KNOW THE BASE VERSES:

 a) KNOW THE TRUTH:

     John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

b) WHAT IS TRUTH? - Jesus is the truth.

     John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

 c) His word alone is the truth

     John 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

 d) His word will judge us in the end:

     John 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

Sr. Susan reaching her heavenly abode safe!

Four months ago, while we were in Assam for BFF Training, Sr. Leema Rose shared with me a dream she saw the previous night! She saw a beautiful golden palace made of glass (but not the glass of earth) and she saw Sr. Susan walking towards it. Sr. Leema Rose was enjoying the blissful state the whole night.  On 29th December morning Sr. Susan had a cardiac arrest and she walked into heaven. Sr. Stella received a beautiful confirmation from the Lord that Sr. Susan’s time to go to Lord has come. Also, the night before she passed away, Bro. Uma Shankar prayed for her in the BFF class and released the anointing to her. Next day early morning at 3:43 she went to stay with the Lord forever.

9 Participants. Apart from the theory classes, this time we added, “Healing in medical centers” as practical’s first time in this batch. 6 students were taken to CSI Kalyani Hospital at Mylapore. They were divided into two groups.

Many miracles happened instantly, fever disappeared in Jesus name. Post checkup for out patients were healed instantly.3 people with abdomen pain were healed instantly. Bed ridden patients started to move limbs and sat with support. Gospel was preached. In pediatric ward one family was given the Gospel and they are about to accept Christ now. Br.

BFF Testimonies

BFF ( Tamil) 26th to 30th December at Chennai

All the 12 students were mightily anointed by the Lord. Following is the testimony of one of the participants, Br. Ishan from Kanyakumari. He never feared God, even after several warning from Lord Jesus. He was forced to come to BFF which he never liked. But was God’s plan. During the prophecy class, Lord’s fire fell upon him and he could not bear it. He was drinking bottles of water but the fire was not quenched. All came to stop his loud voice, but was telling he is unable to control his voice the burning in him. Some people started rolling on the floor. For Br. Ishan it was fire inside and cold outside. In the fire anointing Holy Spirit made him repent all his sins.

Later Lord spoke to him and told that he will be in-charge of kanyakumari henceforth. God changed an ordinary man into Prophet for Lord. Amen! Hallelujah !

 National Worship Centre is a centre where the Lord of hosts, the Lord God Almighty is worshipped in His majesty all the 24 hours. Per day 12 worship teams will come to worship from different parts of the Nation. One slot consists of 2 hours. Do you want to join this praising Army?

Warfare prayer

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

Pro  3:29  The spirit which makes one  devise evil against  his neighbor  

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

2017 - Year for forgiveness and Reconciliation

Once while I was in prayer,  Holy Spirit reminded me  of something new which I was never aware of.   He brought to my memory many incidents which I had learned in my history class  about the Independence Struggle.  In fact when I was writing the “Vision about India”, the Lord wanted me to go  through these incidents  again. So I went to a library, got a book and read the whole history again. The bitter experiences of Indians, who were struggling under the British rule became fresh to me. I  developed a feeling  of hatred in my mind  towards  those rulers  who ill- treated Gandhiji and the Freedom fighters.  At the same time  I developed  appreciation  towards those British people  who  supported the Freedom fighters  indirectly. 

 

I learned  more about the ways of the Lord, my Almighty Father!

 

The following is the principle on which forgiveness operates.

 

“If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven. If you retain people's sins, they are retained." Jn 20:23 

 

Even if the whole land of Britain and all its citizens repent,  fast and plead  God for forgiveness for  sins it committed towards Indians, God cannot forgive unless Indians forgive them!  As per the minimum conditions,  one Indian can do  it on behalf of all the nation! 

 

But in turn, if the Indians say, “No, we will not forgive you”!  God cannot forgive their sins!

 

What will be the result?

 

The British  people will not be forgiven of their sins. They will be thrown into prison (there are varieties of prisons for satan) and  have to suffer punishment according to each and every crime they committed.

The Indians also will be thrown into prison because they refused to forgive.

 

This is the secret behind all the evils our society is suffering  today.

What is Troop Church ?

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

  1. It has independent first line second and third line Troop Churches
  2. It has raised many leaders, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.
  3. It has no visible leader or hierarchical structure
  4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
  5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
  6. No money collection or transaction.
  7. No election, board, Committee etc.
  8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
  9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
  10. No pollution or corruption with money or power.

11.The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication .

Troop Church Testimonies

Testimony from  Vellore - Lion of Judah

I am Magimay from vellore. I was running a small hotel. But due to my addiction to alcohol I lost my business as well as family peace. For the past long ten years I was under the hold of alcoholism. But last Friday after the prayer I had some advices from the brother's and after that day onwards I was totally free from that bondage. Everyone prayed for me and also I had individual prayer too. Now since Saturday onwards I was able to be without alcohol. GOD YESHUAH changed my life.

Troop Arise and sunshine

Yesterday 65 year old aunty came to my cabin with complaints of dizziness and knee pain severe ( to a extend she has not bent her knee for past one yearr). She being a Christian I asked her to forgive everyone , clear her heart from bitterness. She said she had no such thoughts against anyone. When I closed my eyes I saw a vision like she fighting. So I told this to her then she said yes we had a fight in the family 2 weeks back since then this problem. So we prayed over those issue rebuked the spirit. After prayer she was able to squat 50% her daughter in law was surprised. We praised the lord. Given her some spiritual exercises. Looking forward for a complete recovery

TEACHING: The grand betrayal is on. – Bro.C.Umashankar IAS 17th Sep. 2015

TEACHING: The grand betrayal is on. History repeating itself - 2000 years ago, the disciples continued to be busy in deciding who was greater among them, when Jesus revealed to them that He was going to be betrayed and killed! (Luke 22:22-24)

 

SEASON OF RAPTURE Vs Miracle 10 Crore Sunday!

     The Lord operates in seasons. His works and priorities change according to seasons. His disciples are expected to align with Him as per His seasons and priorities. For a true disciple, the Lord's concern should be his/her concern too. Anyone not aligning with the seasons and priorities of the Lord is not His true disciple at all. In other words such careless disciples are FAKE disciples.

    The word of God teaches us what we should be and what we should not be.

    In this session let us see what we should not be.

    Let us initiate the word of God to be meditated – Luke 22:22-24

    Luke 22:22 And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” 23 Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing. 24 Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

THE SEASON: Jesus had completed His mission on earth and was about to be led for crucifixion. He reveals this to His disciples.

PREPAREDNESS of His disciples: They were arguing about who was greater among them even after receiving the above startling revelation!

WRITING ON THE WALL

     We see no alignment between the master and His disciples. Sad indeed.

     In verse 22, the Lord was talking about His crucifixion and end of His earthly mission. In the next verse, the disciples were trying to find out who was going to betray Jesus. That search was momentary only. They seemed to have many other pressing priorities!

     You and I may ask what other pressing priorities the disciples could possibly have, when their all powerful master was with them, in flesh and blood. His priority alone should have been their priority!

     But the word of God says that the disciples had completely ignored the revelation from Jesus that He was going to be betrayed and killed. They spent time on the topic, no doubt. But how long? Verse 24 shows that they were too preoccupied with the debate “who is greater among us?” to bother about the shocking revelation from Jesus about His impending betrayal.

     Stunning revelation (to us)!

     Actually, this is a betrayal that preceded the Judas betrayal!

     How can the disciples be so callous about the impending crucifixion of Jesus. The Lord has already revealed to them thrice that He would be given to the gentiles and killed.

     They spent very little time to find out who was that possible betrayer. Apparently, they could not find any as they did not take real effort at all in detecting who the culprit was going to be.

     Even after experiencing this betrayal, the Lord not only silently accepted this rejection but He chose to appreciate them in verse 28. That is His greatness. Amen.

     Luke 22:28  “But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials.

     What a magnificent God we have, in Jesus. Thank you Jesus for what you are!

COMPARISON WITH PRESENT: THIS IS THE SEASON OF RAPTURE. WHAT OUR PASTORS ARE DOING?

     All the end time prophecies are happening right in front of our eyes. The newspapers and internet are full of end time news. The following prophecies are getting fulfilled right in front of our eyes. We do not need a Bible expert to tell us the pointer.

   - Wars and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6)

   - For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. (Matthew 24:7)

   - Opening of the 5th seal of the Lamb and fullness of martyrdom through beheading (Revelation 6:9-11, Rev.20:4)

   - It would be like the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37)

   - It would be like the days of Lot – widespread adultery and homosexuality (Luke 17:28)

   - Church would not be doing its core business (Matthew 25:5)

LET US SEE WHAT OUR PASTORS ARE DOING

     Exactly, the way the disciples of the Lord behaved, our pastors are discussing about end times, may be once in 6 months and they are busy with “blessings” messages. In our church, the promise for September 2015 is “from today I will bless you” – Haggai 2:19.

     The pastors are not at all aligned with the season of the Lord – rapture season. Their heart is far away from the Master. The problem for them is that each pastor has his own priorities but the Master is not aligning with their priorities!

     The Master is busy moving things for the rapture of the bride. That is His season. But the pastors are busy conducting “miracle 10 crore Sunday” to collect money and gold from the gullible believers to construct a mega Babylon building to proclaim his name.

     Neither the pastors nor the believers have any time to discuss and get ready for the rapture!

SHOCKING PARALLELS:

     2000 years ago, the disciples were illiterate or poor or both. They had no telecom infrastructure, internet, youtube, whatsapp or even newspaper. They did not have democracy as well. Rome ruled over them.

     Our pastors are neither illiterate nor poor. They have all the infrastructure and information. The Bible is available in their own language. They are able to read and write.

     But their level of preparedness for rapture is equal to the illiterate disciples of Jesus 2000 years ago and their heart is not at all aligned with the Lord on second coming of Christ.

     When the life of Jesus was at stake, the disciples were discussing who was greater among them. Likewise, now

  1. a) the whole world is witnessing the cold blooded beheading of Christians and others by muslim terrorists,
  2. b) the intellectuals are expecting something to happen on September 23rd 2015 and
  3. c) the world is watching with concern, the massive human tragedy unfolding in Europe due to refugee influx from Syria.

Prophecy NEWS Updates..

Israel Prepares For Hezbollah Threat In 2017

9A senior Israeli defense official said that the IDF is cautiously optimistic about making it through the coming year without having to conduct major combat operations, unless a preemptive strike against the Lebanon-based Shiite terrorist organization Hezbollah becomes necessary, Defense News reported on Monday.

"The probability for war in 2017, generally speaking, is low," the official said, but with a caveat: "Due to the dynamic of escalation, we might find ourselves in one."

The official told Defense News that Israel needs to calculate its moves very carefully, as it is facing threats from Hezbollah in the north, Hamas in the south and the Palestinian Authority in the center, as well as from far beyond its borders -- the regime in Tehran.

The official explained that each of these fronts is volatile, and require close attention.

He said that though the most likely source of instability will come from the PA in the West Bank, and that the most easily ignitable conflict is with Hamas in Gaza, the strongest force Israel faces is Iranian proxy Hezbollah, which has been fighting in Syria on behalf of President Bashar Assad.

He said that this was the case despite Hezbollah's having suffered mass casualties during the Syrian civil war, which began in 2011. He estimated that even after losing some 1,700 fighters in battle -- and having another 6,000 or so wounded -- the organization has approximately 8,000 personnel in Syria today. Nor, he said, has Hezbollah stopped its military build-up against Israel.

"We don't want to wait for the first day of the war before taking action, he said, and since Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah speaks almost every week about the day they will conquer Israel...why wait? Why give him a feeling of being strong enough?"

The official concluded that Israel's main worry was what will happen when Russia and other states leave Syria, leaving the stage open for Iran and Hezbollah to grow more confident and powerful.

That, he said, "will not be a good end to this story." As The Algemeiner reported on Sunday, Hezbollah has flatly rejected the Moscow-Ankara-brokered Syria ceasefire deal -- which was approved unanimously by the UN Security Council on Saturday -- over Turkey's insistence that all foreign fighters exit the war-torn country, even before peace talks begin between Assad and rebel forces.

The last time Israel went to war against Hezbollah was in the summer of 2006. During an event last year marking the 10th anniversary of the 34-day Second War in Lebanon, IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Yair Golan said that in the next confrontation Hezbollah will have four times of amount of explosive warheads with which to strike the greater Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

He added, however, "We're the country best equipped to deal with emergency scenarios ...The Home Front Command has prepared directives for all authoritative bodies in Israel, and we just need to make sure that everyone does his job seriously and as planned. Israel has an early warning system unparalleled in the world that lets civilians know what to do."

Istanbul: 39 People Killed in Christian-Targeted New Year's Eve Attack

An attack on New Year’s Eve targeting Christians at an Istanbul nightclub killed 39 and wounded dozens of others. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. The Blaze reports that the attacker used hand grenades and an automatic weapon in the attack. He reportedly escaped in the chaos that ensued in the nightclub after the attack.Following the attack, the Islamic State-linked Aamaq News Agency said that a “heroic soldier of the caliphate” had carried out an attack at the Turkish nightclub “where Christians were celebrating their pagan feast.” “We let infidel Turkey know that the blood of Muslims that is being shed by its airstrikes and artillery shelling will turn into fire on its territories,” the news agency continued.Turkish police have detained eight people possibly involved in the attack, but are still searching for the main perpetrator.Those killed in the attack were from various countries, including Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Tunisia, India, Morocco, and Jordan. Additionally, Kuwait, Canada, Israel, Syria, and Russia each lost a citizen in the attack.Turkey has seen increasing violence in the past year, most notably a bombing attack in the Istanbul airport in June for which the Islamic State took responsibility and a failed coup in July that left the country in turmoil.

 

Austria: Woman Reading Bible in Refugee Camp is Stabbed by Angry Muslim Man

An unnamed woman survived a stabbing attack by an Afghan Muslim migrant at a refugee camp in Austria. The Inquisitr.com reports that the 50-year-old woman was reportedly a guest at the Timelkam refugee center in Voecklamarkt, Austria when the incident occurred.She was asked by other Christian residents of the refugee center to read the Bible and lead a Bible study with them in the center’s kitchen. While she read from the Bible, however, a 22-year-old refugee from Afghanistan burst into the kitchen and began attacking her. He reportedly stabbed her repeatedly, but miraculously, because of the large coat she was wearing, the blows did not harm her. She did incur a minor injury when the force of the blows made her fall. The injury was not serious, however.Police apprehended the attacker who claimed he merely overreacted and was dealing with “personal problems.” He was reportedly taken to Wels Prison, but it is not known if he was charged for his crime.Following the attack, debate raged on social media about Islam and violence. Immigrants in refugee camps are facing increased violence, particularly those who are vocal about their Christian faith.

 

Open Doors 2017 World Watch List Shows Troubling Trends for Christian Persecution

The Open Doors USA 2017 World Watch List, detailing the countries where Christian persecution is the most severe will be released in just a couple weeks. According to Mission Network News, the last few years have presented troubling trends for Christian persecution worldwide. The year 2016 was the third year in a row in which persecution continued to rise significantly.Countries that ranked highest on the 2016 World Watch List were Syria, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, and at number one, North Korea.

Those countries appear likely to continue the trend of brutal persecution of Christians. In fact, Open Doors has already revealed that North Korea will again top the World Watch List in 2017. That will mark the country’s 15th year as the worst country for Christian persecution.“Even though persecution is horrific in places like Iraq, Syria, Somalia, there’s no country that quite has the restrictions, violence, or targeting of Christians like North Korea,” stated Emily Fuentes of Open Doors. The International Business Times also reported on the increase in Christian persecution. The IBT reveals shocking Christian persecution statistics. Nearly 90,000 Christians were killed for their faith in the past year, which is the equivalent of one Christian being martyred every six minutes.In addition to the astounding number of Christians killed for their faith, millions of others were prevented from freely practicing their religion. Although the plight of Christians in many places around the world is grim, Mission Network News offers action steps Christians can take to help their brothers and sisters in Christ who are facing persecution.Remembering these Christians in prayer is very important, as well as simply being aware of what countries need the most prayer. Open Doors 2017 World Watch List will be released on January 11. “The number one thing is to be praying for the countries on the World Watch List,” said Fuentes.

 

Vandals raid UP church, allege forced conversions

GORAKHPUR: Six people were injured when a group of about 60 alleged Hindu activists attacked a church on Thursday .The activists claimed that the church was forcibly converting Hindus to Christianity. AB Lal, the pastor of Full Gospel Church at Moti Pokhra area in Gorakhpur, said, "The attackers were waving saffron flags and were armed with sticks. They barged into the church and kept chanting 'Jai Shri Ram'." "The attackers said they belonged to Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV) and other Hindu groups," he said. Lal added the miscreants vandalised the church for almost an hour. Police said a case against unknown persons had been registered on the complaint made by church authorities. HYV, however, denied the allegations. "I don't know anything about it. We were not a part of the attack," said Vinay Paswan, media in-charge of the outfit.

Know your enemy

"Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, EXPOSE them” Ephesians 5:11

Section 1 - The Old Testament

Pergamos Detour

10This is called a caduceus and is actually a result of confusion by people in the late 19 century who thought it represented the same thing. This symbol has ancient associations with commerce, eloquence, trickery and deception but it is still used for healthcare regardless. You may notice it includes a winged sun disc.

This symbol is normally associated with Egypt but was used by several other cultures. Thomas Milton Stewart explains:

“Horus, the Virgin-Born redeemer of the Egyptians, came into the world to destroy  the enemies of the great God, [sun god] Ra. Therefore Horus changed himself into the form of the winged sun-disk, and took with him the Goddesses Nekhebet and Uatchit in the form of two serpents. After their successful war upon the enemies of Ra, Horus commanded Thoth, the God of Secret Wisdom, that the winged sun-disk with the erect serpents should be brought into every sanctuary of all the gods of the lands of the South and North.”11

A similar sculpture exists on Mount Nebo in Jordan.

This is sculpture is called The Brazen Serpent and so we have a mountain named after the god Nebo with a serpent and sun disc at the top. Now let me answer a question that I should have dealt with when I made the video series. A lot of people have asked about whether the serpent on the pole doesn't originate Israel's time in the Sinai desert when God instructed Moses saying,  “Make a replica of a poisonous snake and attach it to a pole. All who are bitten will live if they simply look at it!” So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!" (Numbers 21:8-9) God did instruct Moses in that way, as recorded in the Bible.

12However, if you then fast forward to the reign of the righteous King Hezekiah we read, "He removed the pagan shrines, smashed the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke up the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because the people of Israel had been offering sacrifices to it. The bronze serpent was called Nehushtan." (2 Kings 18:4)

While going through the instructions Jesus gave to His disciples when He sent them two by two, the following verses touched me.

"Don't turn on to the road that leads to the gentiles, and don't enter Samaritan towns”. Mat 10:5

 But same Jesus while ascending to His Father, commanded  them to go across the world.

 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  Act 1:8 

 Jesus addressed  His own people as ‘wolves’.  

 "See, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves” Mat 10:5

 Apostles were compared to sheep and  dove.  

Only Holy Spirit can  teach a soul how they can have  the innocence of dove and the cunningness of serpent put together.

Jesus has guaranteed  food for His worker.

“………….or a traveling bag for the trip, or an extra shirt, or sandals, or a walking stick, because a worker deserves his food.”  Mat 10:10

The missionaries who came to India went by the above  rules and they could achieve much. Let us make an examination where we have erred.

What is Troop Church ?

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

  1. It has independent first line second and third line Troop Churches
  2. It has raised many leaders, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.
  3. It has no visible leader or hierarchical structure
  4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
  5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
  6. No money collection or transaction.
  7. No election, board, Committee etc.
  8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
  9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
  10. No pollution or corruption with money or power.

11.The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication .

Troop Church Testimonies

*TESTIMONY TIME – Light of the world troop @ Bro.Umashankar's home, Porur, Chennai*

7th week sitting: 1st Dec. 2016 (7.30 pm to 11.00 pm)

*(The closure date of this troop is 29th Dec.2016)*

*REPORT DATE: 2nd Dec. 2016*

    This edition of troop meeting had 11 adult members and 2 children. Due to cyclone warning and rains, a few members could not attend today.

    Worship service was done by Sis.Camilla Jenny Theodore.

*Testimony #1 – Bro.Meschak

     A never before heavy shoulder pain was experienced on Monday (28th Nov.). When my wife laid her hand and commanded the pain to leave, it left completely. Glory to Jesus.

     I never had this type of pain in my life. (Bro.Umashankar gave an understanding that this was a warfare against the Lord's soldier. This is a good sign that Bro.Meschak has a very powerful ministry ahead).

     We had a very turbulent period in our life till three weeks ago when we joined the troop. The Lord changed everything in the last 3 weeks and we are very happy in our life.

     Earlier, when I was in Tiruchy, whenever I attended the Sunday (fake) churches, I was ridiculed there. They used to mob me and ridicule me when I voiced my opinion. Here in the troop church, I get care. Even when a clarification is  sought, the members give the clarification using the word of God and I am able to accept them. I am very happy to be a part of the troop. Amen

 

*Testimony#2 Sis.Priskilla Meschak     

The Lord did an amazing turnaround in my personal family life. All the noises in the family are gone. God's love has pervaded our family. We are able to read the word of God and do prayers effectively. I never imagined in my life that I would have such a happy family life like this. My friends and relatives have written me off. But the Lord amazingly did the turn around in the last three weeks, after we started attending the troop church. Thank you Jesus.

     In my spiritual life, we have decided to bring in at least 2 new souls for the Kingdom every week. It is needless to stress that this is the first time, it occurred to us to bring new souls for the Kingdom.

     Thanks to the troop.

     The Lord has given me new songs in the last week. I sang the new song and recorded it on my mobile (she played the audio). This is a new experience for me.

      *At the workplace:* All of a sudden, I am being exalted in my workplace. Without any change in the environment, my head alone is being raised in my college. For example, my workplace which is an ordinary room is currently being converted into a world class work spot. Thanks to Jesus.

     Similarly, the management shows a new respect to me as a women with spiritual authority. My higher authorities started consulting me with respect for the first time. That is a new experience for me. Glory to Jesus.

     It is just three weeks into this troop but the Lord has done a lifetime change in my life. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

*Testimony #3 Sis.Camilla

Jenny Theodore. (young mother and dentist by profession)*

Friday (25th Nov), my mother Princy and younger sister Dorathy had fallen ill. My mother had fever with body pain and my younger sister had fever, severe throat pain, diarrhoea and skin rashes.

     Doctor told it was typhoid and viral fever.  From Thursday they were undergoing medical treatment.

     Despite medical treatment, they had no relief in fever.

     I prayed for my mother first and she was healed of fever and body pain instantly.

     Thereafter I prayed for Dorathy. Her high fever left her immediately with sweating as side effect. Her throat pain reduced by half. It became bearable. It was gone fully the next day when she came to my home. But she developed rashes the next day. I prayed for her when before she left my home. After reaching my parents home, she vomited. That indicates deliverance. The next day, on Sunday, rashes disappeared. She never took any medication for either typhoid or rashes. Glory to Jesus.

     The Doctor confirmed after a blood test that she had typhoid with viral fever but it was not there at the time of the blood test.

     Glory to Jesus. 

Be Formed and Form

Be Formed and Form is a 5 day short term course. This training is a challenge to the present Church. Because our Lord Jesus Christ (Head of the Church) wants the Church to be transformed according to Ephe 5:26,27. To make her holy, (cleansing her by the washing with water through the word), and to present her himself as a radiant Church. Today the Church is ignorant about the will of our Lord Jesus Christ. By this BFF training , the Church awakes and arises to shine in the world.

Know Your Enemy

Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, EXPOSE them” Ephesians 5:11

 Section 1 - The Old Testament -  The Jezebel Spirit

Four Kingdoms (Daniel’s Dream)

So the dream was a prophetic one that explained, in the form of a statue, how the Babylonian kingdom would have 3 successors that would follow after it. The statue of course was human to represent the fact that these kingdoms were made by man, for man’s glory, as Babylon originally had been.  The first kingdom symbolised by the head of gold was the Babylonian Empire itself. Daniel then states that the head-of-gold empire would be followed by an inferior empire symbolized by arms of silver. Christian scholars generally regard this to be the Medo-Persian Empire which in 539BC conquered the Babylonian Empire. The two arms symbolically refer to the two groups - the Medes and the Persians.

The third kingdom was symbolised by the statue's belly and thighs of brass. Scholars believe this is a reference to the Grecian Empire, which conquered and then came after the Medo-Persian Empire. The symbol of a belly and thighs of brass suggests that the kingdom was to start out as a united empire but end up as a divided empire. Under the leadership of Alexander the Great, the Grecian Empire was indeed a united empire. But after Alexander's death, the empire was divided up.

It was around this time when Greece was the dominant power that (356- 323BC) the mystery Babylon religion became known as “Gnosticism”. The word “Gnosis” in Greek means “knowledge”.

Gnosticism

Gnostics still believed that humans were divine souls stuck within imperfect human bodies created by an imperfect god. They still believed there was a second and superior god who provided them with the esoteric knowledge necessary to become gods themselves. Ashtoreth had taken on the name Sophia because Sophia means ‘wisdom’ in Greek. The serpent was said to be the good father of Cain. Yahweh was said to be an unreasonable God who had cursed Adam and Even wrongly after a temper tantrum. High priestesses were ordained through sexual rituals. There were still blood oaths, secret handshakes, signals, symbols, passwords, and fornication as part of worship. In other words, except for a few name changes, the Babylonian religion had survived in its entirety throughout the empire changes.

TEACHING: Never abandon your child by your words or deed. The devil takes authority over the child if we do – Bro. C. Umashankar IAS

HOW TO CANCEL THE CURSE?

     SPEAK TO SATAN.

     Because you have given authority to the devil over your child inadvertently you have to speak to the devil and tell him that you are cancelling the authority given to him over your child.

     So, the cancelling process involves speaking to the devil and cancel the negative utterances.

     The sample cancellation declaration is as follows:

SPEAK THIS DECLARATION ALOUD – KEEPING YOUR EYES OPEN.

         “devil, without knowledge I gave authority to you over my child KAVYAMANI (for example) by TELLING “I DONT WANT THIS CHILD”  OR “LET ME ABORT THE CHILD”. Now, as father/mother of my child KAVYAMANI, I revoke the authority to you over my child. I have full authority to cancel the curse on my child, KAVYAMANI. I take back full authority of my child KAVYAMANI from you. I entrust my child, KAVYAMANI into the hands of Jesus. My child, KAVYAMANI hence force would belong to Jesus only. I bless my child, KAVYAMANI in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen”.

In a similar manner, if you had cursed your child at any point of time, you need to cancel in this fashion only.

Now the curse is broken. You will see instant change in your child. Your child is normal now. Please get your child baptised in water and also enable the child to get Holy Spirit anointing (if the child is an adult).

MY EXPERIENCE:

     Sometime ago, I diagnosed a girl having this problem. She lives in another country. She was nearly 30. She was being treated for severe depression and fear problem. Her marriage was a failure. Her parents did not know what to do. The Lord gave the right diagnosis to them.

      When the child was conceived, the father had said “I dont want this child now”. That negative confession gave authority to the devil over the child and caused the severe bondage.

     When her father cancelled the negative confession, the daughter became alright instantly. Her mother was waiting to admit her in emergency ward of an hospital /  ICU for treatment. When this brother called his wife over phone and cancelled the authority to satan, the girl became alright instantly and she brought her daughter back home without any treatment from the hospital.

    15th Oct. 2015, someone said over phone her daughter in her twenties had severe depression problem and the decision was to take her to CMC for treatment. The Holy Spirit in me made me ask the question, “Sister, when you were pregnant, did you try to abort this child?”

The reply came “yes, we did not want the second child so fast and so I consulted the gynaecologist to abort the child

     I made her cancel the authority given to the devil over her daughter. We must get the deliverance report today.

Prophecy NEWS Updates

INDIA: CHRISTIANITY GROWING DESPITE PERSECUTION

The Christian church in India is growing despite the also increasing persecution against Christians. According to ChristianToday.com, there are an estimated 25 to 60 million Christians in India. Additionally, Calvary Temple, a church located in Hyderabad, can hold as many as 35,000 people each service. This church holds five worship services every Sunday and is knowns as the “largest church in India.” 

"Many Americans think nothing is happening among Christians in India," the pastor of Calvary Temple, Satish Kumar, told Christianity Today. "We have to change that opinion." But while Christianity is growing in India, so is Christian persecution.

India ranks 17th on Open Doors’ World Watch List of worst countries for Christian persecution. There are about one billion Hindus in India and many of them are hostile toward Christians. India’s legal system also often grants impunity to Hindus who persecute Christians for their faith. This year there have been “134 separate incidents of violence” committed against Christians, according to the Evangelical Fellowship of India. This is up from 177 incidents in 2015 and 147 in 2014.

PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN INDIA INCREASES DRAMATICALLY IN FIRST HALF OF 2016

At least 134 incidents of violence against Christians in India were carried out in the first half of 2016 alone, compared with 147 incidents in all of 2014 and 177 in 2015, according to an independent report.

The Evangelical Fellowship of India’s Religious Liberty Commission (EFIRLC) notes that cases chronicled from Jan. 1 to June 30 were “just a fraction of the violence on the ground.”

Of major cases of violence against Christians across 21 of India’s 29 states, the report places Uttar Pradesh as leading the list with 25, followed by Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh with 17 and 15 respectively.

“In Bastar, Chhattisgarh, religious fanatics attacked a church and tried to set a pastor and his pregnant wife on fire after thrashing them at remote Tokapal in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region,” the report states. “The pastor and his wife managed to escape after they were beaten up and doused with petrol. The attackers destroyed the electronic equipment at the church, besides thrashing the pastor’s children and setting ablaze scriptures and furniture. The FIR [First Information Report] stated the assailants were well-armed and even tried to burn the pastor’s house.”

Physical violence, arrests on false allegations and stopping church services were frequent crimes, with attacks on churches, vandalizing and threats also recurring. One person was reported to have been murdered because of his faith.

EFIRLC’s report, backed by independent fact-finding surveys, points out that local units of the Bajrang Dal, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Akhil Bharatiya Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram and other Hindu extremist splinter factions affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh were the groups most often behind the violence.

Rise of Tamil Nadu

Though anti-Christian violence is assumed to be more widespread across the north Indian states, Tamil Nadu in the south rose to fourth position on the list with 14 incidents.

Some of them were brutal. A pastor from Kambam in Theni District of Tamil Nadu was attacked during a worship service on Jan. 17. Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) activists attacked his head with a heavy, sharp object, leaving him to what they supposed would be his death. Emergency treatment for profuse bleeding saved his life. Telangana, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh were the other southern states making it onto the list with seven, six and two cases respectively.

‘Freedom of Religion’ Acts

In many incidents, Christians were accused of conversion by force or allurement and charged under so-called Freedom of Religion Acts after they were harassed, threatened and thrashed. The acts, popularly known as anti-conversion laws, declare conversion by force, allurement or fraudulent means to be criminal. Radical Hindu groups commonly use them to falsely implicate Christians.

In Dhar District of Madhya Pradesh, for example, Balu Sastya and his wife Bhuri, both blind, were called to pray for a sick person. When they had gathered at the house of the sick person along with 11 others, a mob of more than 50 people with sticks and stones surrounded the house.

They uttered abusive words and threatened to kill Sastya and his companions, but when police arrived, the extremists filed a complaint against him and others, accusing them of attempting to convert gullible villagers by promising them physical healing. Sastya, his wife, and their 3-year-old son had to spend two days and three nights in jail before they were released on bail.

Even in states like Uttar Pradesh, where such laws do not exist, propagation of one’s faith, especially Christianity, is generally misperceived as illegal because of the laws.

Police Impunity

At least 10 arrests and repeated cases of false allegations hint at the hand-in-glove relationship between non-state actors and local administrators. In many cases, the local administration and police refused to act and openly sided with the assailants.

Hindu radicals in Digal village of Malkangiri District in Odisha (formerly Orissa) state threatened Christians early this year, warning them to leave the village for worshipping Jesus Christ. As the Christians were on their way to a police station on Jan. 19, the Hindu extremists ambushed and beat them in the presence of local police. Officers declined to help the Christians.  

Elections

The escalation of anti-Christian violence was consistently related to city and state election times.

“While Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have a history of anti-Christian policies and violent non-state agencies targeting the community,” wrote the EFI general secretary, the Rev. Vijayesh Lal, “there has been a startling rise in such targeted violence in Uttar Pradesh, which faces elections early in 2017, and in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, governed by [Prime Minister Narendra] Modi’s ally, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, with Miss Jayaram Jayalalithaa as the Chief Minister.”

One of the most infamous cases from Uttar Pradesh state was that of pastor Avdhesh Savita in Orai town, Jalaun District. Members of the Hindu extremist Youth Brigade (Yuvavahini) on Jan. 29 kidnapped Pastor Savita under the guise of policemen, beat him brutally, shaved half of his head, eyebrows and mustache, and paraded him on a donkey for about half an hour. The pastor was later charged with forcible conversion.

Tribal Factor

Findings from Bastar District in Chhattisgarh state, central India, suggest systematic attempts to persecute Christian minorities. Such attempts include hate campaigns and misuse of laws that grant rights of self-governance and preservation of culture to tribal (Adivasi) villages to provoke communal tensions.

Hindu radical groups have succeeded in associating local cultural and customs legislation with Hindu religious practices, denouncing everything non-Hindu as a threat to their culture and identity. Section 129 (c) of the Chhattisgarh Gram Panchayat Act states, “The Gram Sabha shall have the power to safeguard and preserve the traditions and customs of the people, their cultural identity and community resources and customary mode of dispute resolution.” Such laws are used to restrict Christians from practicing and propagating their faith.

National Worship Centre (NWC)

We know that India is standing on the threshold of a total liberation and is now going through an unprecedented, historical transformation which is absolutely navigated by the hands of God Almighty. In order to accelerate this, the Lord inspired a few of His children to start a “National Worship Centre” in the spiritual capital (Jerusalem) of India, i.e. Chennai. The preparation for this could be traced back to the year 2010. Finally it is being fulfilled. All glory to God. The National Worship Centre (Zion) was opened on 13.4.2014 at Palavakkam.

 National Worship Centre is a centre where the Lord of hosts, the Lord God Almighty is worshipped in His majesty all the 24 hours. Continuous worship will be going on. Per day 12 worship teams will come to worship from different parts of the Nation. One slot consists of 2 hours. The opening of NWC also turns to be the trumpet sign to start the fatal war against satan to capture this Nation for Christ! Do you want to join this praising Army?

Visions and revelations

  • I wanted to come to the NWC but fear gripped me. I took courage and came. The Lord led me wonderfully during the worship. As I was singing, my fear vanished. God blessed me beautifully. Praise the Lord.
  • While I was glorifying the Lord, he gave me grace to hear his voice. My heart was heavy because I was worrying too much about my future. The Lord spoke to me in a whisper “He said I'm the Lord who loves you.
  • I was worshipping the living god in a full swing. As a result I forgot the world. I experienced as if I have become one with the Lord. Even after the worship I could not come out. Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • I have been regularly worshipping the Lord in NWC. Unlike other days today the Lord blessed me in a very special way. I suddenly stopped the worship and experienced anointing of the holy spirit. A fountain drenched me from top to bottom. Then I saw a vision of the Lord's last supper. In this vision Jesus gave me his blood to drink and I drank it completely. And then I stood up and experienced the overwhelming presence of God within me. I thank you Jesus for this wonderful experience.
  • As I worshipping the Lord I kept repeating the phrase - holy holy holy. I experienced God's presence filling me fully. Then I worshipped the Lord with tears of joy.

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

Pro  6:9    The spirit which makes one a sluggard slumber    

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Better to lose one of your body parts

While I was travelling in train, I saw a handicapped  boy walking on crutches. The following verse came to my mind. This boy has lost one of his organs, namely leg.

Mat 5:29  So if your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your body parts than to have your whole body thrown into hell.

I don’t think anybody on this earth will dare  do the above mentioned command on his own.  But there are many people who on  earth meet with accidents or natural calamities whereby they lose any one or more of their organs. We pity them and consider it as misfortune.  But this can also be a blessing from God in disguise because.

Gal 5:17 says, “For what the flesh wants is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, and so you do not do what you want to do”.

If I am unable to come out as a winner in this battle between my flesh and spirit and if my eyes cause  me to sin to the extent that it makes   my whole body and soul to be thrown into  hell, it is better to lose my physical eyes  in order to spare  my whole body and soul from falling into hell.  If a soul sincerely requests God to save him from the temptation of the eyes, the righteous God does what in His wisdom He  considers is right for him. Poet Milton after losing his eyesight only was  able to write the masterpieces, “Paradise lost” and “Paradise regained”.

Let us never condemn persons with deformities as cursed by God.

TEACHING: Never abandon your child by your words or deed. The devil takes authority over the child if we do – Bro. C. Umashankar IAS

HOW THE CURSE ENTERS?

     Many of us are not aware of the power of our words and deeds. They may appear trivial but have vital consequences. Sometimes, consequences for the whole life!

     Consider a situation where a beautiful young woman in her 20s, not able to marry, not able to settle down in life, griped by unknown fear all the time, depressed most of the time – in short a wasted life!

     We tend to treat this daughter in the normal manner, taking her for counselling, putting her through anti depressant medicines or putting her through multiple therapies.

     Do we ever consider the factor that our lovely daughter had become like this because of our own word or deed?

 

THE SPIRITUAL DIAGNOSIS

     It may sound crazy, but true that the above situation has come not because of the daughter but because of either one of the parents.

     How does it happen?

     How is it possible?

     Can the parents cause such a bad disease for their daughter?

     Oh, yes, yes, yes.

 

THE WORD OF GOD ON CURSING:

     Let us take a look at what the Bible says!

     Proverbs 18:21(NKJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

     What does it mean?

    It means we can pronounce life or blessings on our life or anyone's life by uttering positive declarations and confessions. On the contrary one can pronounce death on someone by doing negative or death confessions.

     Well, there is a catch!  Take a look at this verse:

     Proverbs 26:2 (NKJV) Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.

    That means, a curse or negative declaration against somebody without cause will not have any effect. So, there is no point in cursing an enemy or someone we do not like. That curse will have no effect. Similarly, someone cursing us unnecessarily also will not have any effect. We need to just press the “ignore” button. That is all.

     Unfortunately, there is a BUT again.

     But, a curse inflicted against oneself or one's own family is valid even if it has no reason! That is what Proverbs 18:21 says. Whereas it may take time for a self declared blessing to take effect, the effect of a self inflicted curse will take place immediately. Because a self inflicted curse has the effect of a negative prophetic declaration which the devil loves and he starts acting fast. In other words, a self inflicted negative confession is a self doom prophecy.

     Is this all real? Yes, yes, yes.

     Because the word of God says so.

    Let us scrutinse our life and utterances. Are we speaking life into our life or death (doom) into our life. Are we speaking life into our children and dependants or the reverse. Any negative confession against the children becomes a doom prophecy against them. The devil immediately gets authority over the children.

 

Abortion

    Many couples commit a blunder with regard to abortion without knowing the consequences.    Abortion is equivalent to murder of a child. It has consequences in the form of punishment on the earth itself apart from eternal fire. So, one should never do abortion.

     (If anyone of us has done abortion of a foetus without knowing this, we must immediately repent before the Lord and seek His mercy and pardon. Otherwise, this sin of murder would be counted against us in judgement. We must specifically repent for abortion, which is murder).

     Those of you in the medical field should refuse to perform abortion even on duty. We should not be accessory to a murder and thus become accountable.

 

Cursing the foetus/child in the womb – through utterances

     This is the key area of discussion of this paper.

    Either of the parents uttering negative prophecy against a child in the womb ends up cursing that child even before it comes to the world. One should never do that. (if others curse, it will have no effect on the child)

 

HOW A FOETUS CAN BE CURSED?

     If either of the parents says, “I don’t want this child”, or “let me abort this child”, that is equivalent to disowning or cursing the child in the womb. Mere utterance of a suggestion to abort is sufficient to complete the curse on the foetus. The moment such a curse is uttered, the devil takes of the foetus, because the parents are rejecting the God given gift to them.

     Psalms 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.
     As man is created in the image of the living God, Jesus, the devil has no authority over men, including the foetus. But when either of the parents disowns the foetus either by word or act, the devil takes over the foetus. Because the parent(s) chose to reject the “gift” from God, it goes to the enemy – devil.

     The devil does not kill such children. He plays around with that child as long as he wishes. A child born with this curse would be a weak child in mind. By default, this child will not settle down in anything, education, marriage, job etc. It will have no confidence at all. Always she/he would fear about matters. The child would go into depression and show all categories of mental disorder.

     Now the devil has not only the child at his disposal but also the parents. He literally makes the life of the parents, a hell. His every attempt would be to get the parents also to hell.

     Can this happen just because either of the parents decided to abort the child but desisted from aborting it?

     Yes, yes, yes.

 

ATTEMPT TO ABORT  THE CHILD IS EQUIVALENT TO CURSING

     If any attempt is made to abort the child but still the child has survived, that means the child is born with the curse. Devil will have absolute say over this child.

     The lesson to be learnt is that we should never give authority over our child to the devil through our utterances and deeds. Amen.

 

NOW WHAT TO DO?

     - CANCEL THE AUTHORITY GIVEN TO DEVIL

     If you have cursed your child through utterances or deeds, then the ONLY course of action that gives 100% relief is that you have to CANCEL it.

    YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CURSED, YOU ARE THE OWNER OF YOUR CHILD, SO YOU ALONE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CANCEL THE CURSE.

     The Lord Jesus will not cancel it on His own.

     Going to the hospital to treat the child will only empty your pockets but it will never give total relief to your child. On the other hand, you accept this teaching and carry out the cancellation process which does not involve any spending of money or time, then the bondage of your child with the devil would break within 5 minutes.

     In other words, your child would be set you free within 5 minutes from all the depression and related disorders.

     Amen. All glory to Jesus.

Japan – some interesting facts.

These practices set a high standard for young people

8* Japanese children clean their schools every day for a quarter of an hour with teachers. This led to the emergence of a Japanese generation who is modest and keen on cleanliness.

* Any Japanese citizen who has a dog must carry special bags to pick up dog droppings. Hygiene and their eagerness to address cleanliness is part of Japanese ethics.

* A hygiene worker in Japan is called "health engineer" and can command salary of USD 5000 to 8000 per month, and a cleaner is subjected to written and oral tests!

* Japan does not have any natural resources, and they are exposed to hundreds of earthquakes a year, but this has not prevented its becoming the second largest economy in the world.

* In just ten years Hiroshima returned to what it was economically vibrant before the fall of the atomic bomb.

5* Japan prevents the use of mobile phones in trains, restaurants and indoors.

* For first to sixth primary year Japanese students must learn ethics in dealing with people.

* Even though one of the richest people in the world, the Japanese do not have servants. The parents are responsible for the house and children.

* There is no examination from the first to the third primary level, because the goal of education is to instill concepts and character building.

* If you go to a buffet restaurant in Japan you will notice people only eat as much as they need without any waste because food must not be wasted.

7* The rate of delayed trains in Japan is about 7 seconds per year!! The Japanese appreciate the value of time and are very punctual to minutes and seconds.

* Children in schools brush their teeth (sterile) and clean their teeth after a meal at school, teaching them to maintain their health from an early age.

* Japanese students take half an hour to finish their meals to ensure proper digestion, because these students are the future of Japan.

The Japanese focus on maintaining their own culture.

The Japanese might have lost the war, but they are in charge of their own country.

There are no bombs going off in crowded business centres,

"Honour Killings", nor killing of innocent children or anyone else.

Something to think about.

Preparing For Wormwood - NASA Launches Planetary Protection Exercise

 What was previously the stuff of Hollywood movies is seemingly moving from the safety of science fiction to the realm of harsh, possible reality. NASA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other government agencies engaged last month in a planetary protection exercise to consider the potentially devastating consequences of a 330-foot asteroid hitting the Earth.

The exercise projected a worst-case blast wave by an asteroid strike in 2020 that could level structures within a radius of 30 miles, require a mass evacuation of the Los Angeles area and cause tens of thousands of casualties. Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, says the center relies on several telescopes, such as the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona, to track potentially hazardous asteroids and comets. The center lists 659 asteroids that have some probability of striking the planet, "but none pose a significant threat over the next century, either because the probabilities are extraordinarily small, or the asteroids themselves are extremely small... nevertheless, we must continue searching for asteroids in case there is one that is heading our way," Mr. Chodas said.  There's also another reason why the haunting 'asteroid attack' prospect is something not to be shrugged off as too remote to be of concern: It's already happened several times.

Asteroid Day is observed each year on June 30, the anniversary of what is believed to be the largest space-related explosion in human history: an asteroid strike in Tunguska, Siberia, in 1908. An asteroid, believed to be less than 100 feet in diameter, exploded at the altitude of an airliner and flattened tens of millions of trees across 800 square miles. Researchers estimated the explosion was as powerful as a medium-size hydrogen bomb and several hundred times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Although there were no official reports of human casualties, hundreds of reindeer were reduced to charred carcases in the explosion, the British Broadcasting Corporation reported.

 

In more recent times, an asteroid exploded over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in 2013, shattering windows for miles and injuring more than 1,000 people. Scientists have suggested that the Earth is vulnerable to many more Chelyabinsk-size space rocks. In research published in 2013 by the journal Nature, they estimated that such strikes could occur as often as every decade or two instead of an average of once every 100 to 200 years as previously thought. And the frequency possibilities are even scarier if the latest simulation is any indication. As Sarah Lewin recently wrote for the Fox News, the probability of a 2020 impact was initially only 2 percent. However, as the group continued to simulate tracking it over time and the fictional months went by, the impact probability rose to 65 percent -- and then 100 percent, in May 2017.

By November of that year, in the scenario, they found that it would hit across Southern California or nearby in the Pacific Ocean. Is it also possible that an eventual asteroid strike on Planet Earth is also predicted in the Bible? Some observers of the scriptures believe that Revelation Chapter 8:10 - 11 gives an indication of this. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

Could it be that the "great star" named Wormwood is an asteroid that would poison the natural waters - rivers and fountains of the earth? Gotquestions.com goes into some detail regarding the meaning of Wormwood in the Book of Revelation. The seven trumpets are the judgments of the seventh seal (Revelation 8:1-5). The first trumpet causes hail and fire that destroy much of the plant life in the world (Revelation 8:7). The second trumpet brings about what seems to be a meteor, comet, or other heavenly body hitting the oceans and causing the death of one-third of the world's sea life (Revelation 8:8-9). The third trumpet is similar to the second, except it affects the world's lakes and rivers instead of the oceans (Revelation 8:10-11). It will cause a third part of all fresh water on earth to turn bitter and many people will die from drinking it. The word "wormwood" is mentioned only here in the New Testament, but it appears eight times in the Old Testament, each time associated with bitterness, poison and death.

 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, EXPOSE them” Ephesians 5:11

 Section 1 - The Old Testament -  The Jezebel Spirit

Four Kingdoms (Daniel’s Dream)

“In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his mind was troubled and he could not sleep. So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed. When they came in and stood before the king, he said to them,

"I have had a dream that troubles me and I want to know what it means.” – Daniel 2:1-3

This dream of Nebuchadnezzar’s came before his conversion and as was the norm for a pagan king, he was surrounded by the usual array of astrologers and sorcerers connected with the Mysteries. Those who would seek to draw their supernatural powers of interpretation from Satan. They couldn’t decipher the dream. Daniel however, could. As you were lying there, O king, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen. As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than other living men, but so that you, O king, may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind. Notice first of all that Daniel establishes that God is the real source of wisdom  and ‘revealer of mysteries’ and hidden things. Satan claims to have this secret knowledge that he disseminates through his mystery religion, but actually, God is the omniscient one. Notice how Daniel also emphasises that he does not know the interpretation because he has more knowledge than others. He makes it clear he is simply relying on God. We should start noticing how much of the Old Testament tells of a constant battle between two kingdoms.

  "You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous,

dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.

 "This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; in your hands he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.  "After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom,  one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.

 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces."The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy."

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Forgive your brother from your hearts 

In the deliverance class somebody was sharing a testimony like this.

Yesterday I had an incident. The one who received money from me refused to give the receipt. When I demanded it, he insulted me using abusive words. I was provoked to terrible anger. I wanted to sue him in the court.

Today when I attended the second day of deliverance class, the second session was about forgiveness.

“In anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he could repay the entire debt. This is how my heavenly Father will treat each one of you unless you forgive your brother from your hearts." Mat 18:34, 35 

These words pierced my heart. I forgave this person totally.  Today when I go home after the meeting I will meet this person and  I have decided to invite him  to have tea with me.  After making this decision, there is tremendous peace in my heart.

 “We consider those who endured to be blessed. You have heard about Job's endurance and have seen”.

TEACHING: WHO IS A “FOOLISH MAN”? WHO IS A “WISEMAN”? MOSES COMMANDMENT OR JESUS COMMANDMENT – WHOSE COMMANDMENT WE SHOULD FOLLOW? – Bro. C. Umashankar IAS

Let us take a look at the word of God in this regard:

“WISE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE ROCK”

      Matthew 7:24 (NKJV) “Therefore whoever hears THESE SAYINGS OF MINE, AND DOES THEM, I will liken him to a WISE MAN who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a FOOLISH MAN who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

     The above verses are plain and clear.

     Whoever follows whatever Jesus has commanded alone is wise and others are foolish. The Lord has never directed His disciples to follow the Moses law also. The wording “sayings of mine” puts a full stop to all the arguments. No one can presume and extrapolate to give more meaning to the Lord's words. If they give such extrapolation, let us know their intention. I tell you their intention would always be money. Unscrupulous.

     Such men are disciples of mammon spirit – lucifer. (Luke 16:13).

 

“FOOLISH MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE SAND”

     Who are these foolish men who built their house on the sand?

     Just take a look at the man made traditions in the churches. Wherever such man made traditions are there, they are places of foolish men. Those who have prescribed these traditions and the followers, both of them are foolish. Because both of them miss out the Kingdom of Heaven at the end.

     A CSI man may argue for hours together about the superiority of the child/sprinkle baptism followed by “confirmation”. Ask him a simple question, “is it given by Jesus”. The answer is “no”.

     Ask these tradition loving persons about lent day fast, harvest festival and Christmas carols. Are they prescribed by Jesus?

     Take a look at the Roman Catholics. Do they follow what Jesus has said in the word of God? Are they built on solid rock (Jesus and His word) or sand (man made hell bound traditions)?

     Who asked them to worship mother Mary? Who are the saints? Who asked them to worship the saints? Who said there is purgatory? Who asked them to place idols in the church? Who asked them to worship rosary – idol at homes? Is there Jesus in RC church?

     Ask the 7th Day adventists, TELC, Salvation Army and the list goes on.

     In verse 26, the Lord calls them all “foolish men (and women)”.

 

CONCLUSION:

     The Lord has clearly defined the foundation for a solid spiritual life that can fetch one the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus, Jesus alone is the foundation. None else and nothing else. If anyone builds his/her spiritual life on the foundation of Jesus (His word), he/she will be called wise. Rest of the crowd is called “foolish” by Jesus Himself.

     Do you think the Heaven is a place for this type of fools?

Now as Daniel records in his book of the Bible, Nebuchadnezzar attempted to force Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to worship his Babylonian gods. The 3 young men at this point give one of the most stirring speeches in the Bible and one which conveys the exact same attitude of defiance that we need to foster today.Nebuchadnezzar said to them,

“Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of                                                      
gold I have set up?  Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.  If we are thrown into   the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.  But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” Daniel 3:14-18

When they refused, they were thrown into the fiery furnace. Again we see the recurring theme of fire as the preferred form of sacrifice to Baal because he was the sun god. However, while in the furnace, they are met by someone who is generally accepted to be a pre-incarnate Jesus and they come out unharmed. Therefore, once again, God shows his power over satanic idols and this had the ironic effect of making a believer out of Nebuchadnezzar. Whoever would have thought there would be a day when a Babylonian king would worship God! The key event for us however as we continue our journey through time is  Nebuchadnezzar’s prophetic dream and Daniel’s interpretation of it in chapter 2.

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Holy Spirit and we agree

While I was teaching in the school of deliverance, one of the students asked, “My pastor has told us that ordinary believers should not cast out demons, it will attack you; Is it correct?”

There is no answer for this question other than Mark 16:17,18, Mat 10:1 and Lk 9:1

Instead of teaching the believers about their authority and responsibility, the institutional fake Churches impose on them all the unnecessary burdens like tithes, offerings etc.

In Acts Peter very clearly wrote,

“The Holy Spirit and we have agreed not to place any additional burdens on you. Do only what is necessary by keeping away from food sacrificed to false gods, from eating bloody meat, from eating the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual sins. If you avoid these things, you will be doing what's right. Farewell!” Act 15:28, 29

Peter was very particular that believers should be let free except 3 things. All the others were left to the personal decision of an individual.

How many of us are mature enough to take decisions in agreement with the Holy Spirit without consulting any human beings?

What is Troop Church ?

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

  1. It has independent first line second and third line Troop Churches
  2. It has raised many leaders, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.
  3. It has no visible leader or hierarchical structure
  4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
  5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
  6. No money collection or transaction.
  7. No election, board, Committee etc.
  8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
  9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
  10. No pollution or corruption with money or power.

11.The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication .

BFF Testimonies

I was in spiritual pain, I had come to the point of emptiness on all fronts. It was the ultimate voidness feeling. I had been absolutely on the waiting level for God to reveal his plan.  I had literally snapped all forms of relationships with almost all of my family, friends and those whom I love. 

After BFF course I could discern in my mind and was waiting on the lord to give direction to my life. I had waited for long and had no fear. I requested God to use me for the last time or cut me off. I felt the touch of the Holy Spirit for the first time. Although I has meaningful time in prayer and studies, I felt fully then Spirit touch. But I thought that my emptiness is not yet felled in and no proper direction to follow. Now I know the visions of God to India and it is really worthy to give my life to God’s vision.

TEACHING: WHO IS A “FOOLISH MAN”? WHO IS A “WISEMAN”? MOSES COMMANDMENT OR JESUS COMMANDMENT – WHOSE COMMANDMENT WE SHOULD FOLLOW? – Bro. C. Umashankar IAS

JESUS DEFINES “WISEMEN” AND “FOOLISHMEN”

      End time is confusing time.

    Men who are after money and lust try to twist the word  of God so that they can live in luxurious houses, driving Audi/Benz cars at the expense of the poor sheep.

     Only the word of God can set anyone free, including the gullible sheep. As of now the sheep has proved to be a sheep only. The sheep is supposed to be a sheep for Jesus and not to the men. No man can call himself a shepherd or Good shepherd. Jesus alone is the shepherd and Good shepherd. The men who have arrogated themselves with the role of a shepherd and good shepherd have twisted the word so much that the sheep is totally confused.

     THE SHEEP OF JESUS ARE ACTUALLY LION CUBS. Each child of God is a child of the Lion of Judah (Rev.5:5, John 1:12, Galatians 4:6).

     For the Good Shepherd, Jesus, these are not only lion cubs but also sheep. But the same is not applicable with any men. When pastors look at the sheep of Jesus they have to look at them as lion cubs and royal priests (1 Peter 2:9). They are never the sheep of the pastor to be butchered and eaten. What has been happening is that the unscrupulous men have subjugated the lion's cubs into harmless and useless sheep, thus stunting  the growth of the Kingdom of Heaven.

     King's children have been made beggars! What a pity!

     As the sheep of Jesus (lion cubs) are too lazy to read the Bible, it has become all the more easy for these unscrupulous men to twist and turn them for their advantage to keep the lion cubs stunted in growth. Only when they remain stunted these lion cubs would remain a sheep. Once it understands that it is a lion cub, the game is over. But the lion cubs remain sheep till date which is very very unfortunate. All the powers of the lion are hidden. They simply eat grass whereas their food is different and their area of operation is also different – not the cages but the wild forests!

     In the wild, these lions have plenty of food (souls of sinners). But the unscrupulous men have caged these lion cubs! Thus, the King's children have become slaves to these unscrupulous men. (Heb.5:12-13, Galatians 4:1-2).

     Bible is a large book. The lion cubs were not taught to read and understand the word of God directly from the Bible. Rather they have been taught to come on Sunday and listen to the oratory skills of the preacher/pastor. Like a circus tent the lion cubs also shout “Hallelujah” - similar to the cheers any circus performer receives in a circus tent.

     It has become easy to manipulate these lion cubs to tell them “reading Bible and understanding is a difficult task. Only the qualified can do it”.  What a lie!

     The word of God says only the Holy Spirit is the teacher and no man can teach and make someone understand. They can teach but they can never make someone understand unless the Holy Spirit decides to do so.

 

HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TEACHER:

     1 John 2:27 (NKJV) But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, AND YOU DO NOT NEED THAT ANYONE TEACH YOU; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

        As a result, the lion cubs are dependent on these unscrupulous men for the word whereas each one has the ORIGINAL word in their own Bible! They have the original teacher, the Holy Spirit. They need to give scope to the Holy Spirit to teach. These unscrupulous men do not allow the Holy Spirit to take over His rightful role. It is all because of money, money, money…

 

MOSES Vs JESUS

     The clever manipulation that is being done by these unscrupulous pastors and the so called men of God is to pick up something from the Old Testament and finish the whole teaching. Except the ones that were confirmed by the Lord Jesus in His teachings or the Holy Spirit teachings through the apostles, nothing has survived from Mosaic Law.

     So, going back and teaching from the Old Testament asking the New Testament believers to follow the Old Testament teachings in as it is dangerous.

     Romans 10:4 and Ephesians 2:14-15 have clearly showed us that the Law of Moses had been rescinded / cancelled on the Cross.

     As per Matthew 13:52 we can use the Old Testament laws and teachings to learn the ways of God and how the Old Testament people have failed. But no Moses commandment through Moses can be picked up from there to bind the New Testament believers. Because the Mosaic law comes with a rider that if someone does not fulfil it he/she is cursed (Deuteronomy 27:26).

     All these curses of Mosaic Law have been removed and rescinded by Jesus on the Cross by giving his blood and life (Galatians 3:13). So, anyone who preaches from Mosaic Law and re-establishes all these curses is a cursed man. If the sheep believes it they would be actually cursed if they fail to fulfil the obligations as taught by the preacher from the Mosaic Law. Read Romans 14 to know more about this.

     That means even if a particular task is NOT mandated by Jesus, it would become mandated if the gullible sheep believes in the unscrupulous preacher's false preachings and accept the Old Testament curses. (example: tithes is an Old Testament law. It is not applicable to the New Testament church, also the law regarding vows- Deuteronomy 23:21-23 & Numbers 23).

     The time has come to expose these unscrupulous preachers and pastors.

While All Eyes On US Elections - Christian Persecution Intensifies

For those of us who live in comfortable homes in safe democracies, persecution of Christians and martyrdom may seem like a cruel historical fact, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Sunday the 13th of November marked the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church in 2016, a date that Christians across the globe observed with prayer and special services at a time when Christians are suffering increasing levels of persecution. Speaking to the state of religious oppression and persecution of Christians, Dr. Vernon Brewer, president and founder of the Christian organization World Help, said, "At no other time in history have Christians been as persecuted as they are now. Some estimate that more Christians have been martyred for their faith in the past century than in the previous 19 combined, and persecution in the Middle East, Africa and Asia seems to be on the rise." Whether it is forced loyalty pledges, the destruction of churches, torture, systematic sexual violence or genocide, attacks on Christians have been increasing at an alarming rate. The European Union's Special Envoy, Jan Figel, said in October that 75% of the world's population now lives without religious freedom.  The aid group Open Doors found that at least 7,000 Christians were killed for their faith between November 1st 2014 and October 31st 2015. During the 2016 reporting period, this number jumped by almost 50% with more than 10,000 deaths. The number of churches attacked or destroyed during the 2016 period at 2,400 represents a doubling over the previous year. These numbers are certainly alarming and the personal stories can be far worse. There is the widespread attacks on churches and Christians in Indonesia, the persecution of Christians in Iran and the horrors of Boko Haram against Christians in Nigeria. Here are several countries that stand out now for their levels of persecution due to civil war, increasingly oppressive laws or widespread campaigns of anti-Christian violence.

Syria

The Syrian civil war and the rise of ISIS has been marked by campaigns of genocide and systematic rape directed against Christian communities in Syria and Iraq.  On February 3rd, 2016 the European Union voted to recognized by unanimous vote the genocide committed by ISIS against Christian communities in Syria and Iraq. Slavery has returned to the world by ISIS with Christian and Yazidi women and girls held in sexual bondage and sold as chattel while Christian men are executed outright. The Islamic State has made it clear that to be a Christian in territory under their control is a death sentence, and numerous massacres in cold blood attest to their savagery.

Iraqi Refugees in Turkey

As many as 45,000 Christian refugees have fled into Turkey from the violence in Iraq as the Islamic State advanced. But the land they encountered has been a far cry from the respite they had hoped to enjoy. Christians have been warned to hide their faith from their Turkish neighbors, by not wearing crosses for example, and charities and mosques in many cases have refused to aid families after learning that they are Christian. Some are calling for the Christian refugees to be granted asylum in the United States, but the US State Department has been moving slowly over concerns with Islamic terrorist infiltrators. God willing, these 45,000 Christian refugees will find more accepting lands than the increasingly hostile Islamic culture growing in Turkey.

Refugee camps in Europe

The flood of refugees into Europe has been of an unprecedented scale and many may think that the troubles of persecuted Christians would end as they cross the border into a country like Germany, but that is sadly not the case. According to an investigation by Open Doors, a Christian advocacy group, just since February of this year nearly 800 Christians and Yazidi refugees have been attacked by Muslims at refugee camps within Germany. Just under half of the survey respondents reported injuries within the German camps, often at the hands of Muslim guards. Around 300 had received death threats against their families while other suffered insults, sexual assault and psychological abuse. From being denied food rations out right or being pushed out of food lines by majority Muslim crowds, Christian refugees face a host of everyday examples of persecution. Often, they have said, reporting abuse or attacks only results in retaliation from Muslim guards or gangs.

Pakistan

Pakistan has banned 11 Christian TV stations in a step that is clearly a crackdown on religious expression. Hidden behind new licensing requirements that were never publicized, the stations have been shuttered without warning and it is unclear if they will be able to broadcast any time soon. Stopping short of banning religious speech, the government has instead resorted to crafting regulations aimed at cutting off Christian broadcasts at their source. Catholic TV founder Father Morris Jalal is quoted as saying: "As citizens, Christians have the right to practice their religion, but if they block you, it means not all citizens are equal." He called on Western Christians to protest the bans, but without any stronger action, it is difficult to see what affect outsiders can have in a Pakistan that increasingly criminalizes non-Muslim beliefs through unequal applications of the law and violent Islamic gangs.

China

In a major move out of China, the central government has begun the harshest crackdown on Christianity since 1979 and it is planning on tightening its grip even more. The Communist Party is demanding loyalty pledges from Christians and those who refuse will be jailed. All Christian churches are to come officially under government control. The Catholic church is already officially registered and monitored and just this year Protestant churches across China were forced to remove all crosses because they were declared symbols of pernicious Western influence. Often meeting in storefronts or homes rather than in officially recognized churches, Christianity exists both in the open and underground in China.  Estimates put the size of the Church in China at over 100 million but with only a quarter of those as members of officially registered churches. The existence of God as an authority that isn't the Communist Party is seen as a threat to the status quo and we can expect increased crackdowns with imprisonment, censorship and torture targeting a Chinese Christian population that, if it continues to grow, could be the largest in the world by 2030.

 North Korea

Among the most severely persecuted Christians on the planet are those living in North Korea. Just as in China, the North Korean government sees Christians as threats to its absolute authority over its citizenry. After all, it is difficult to convince their people that Kim Jung Un is a god when they already known the truth of Jesus. Between 300,000 and 500,000 Christians are estimated to live in North Korea but an incredible 50,000 of them are believed to be held in concentration camps where they perform slave labor in inhuman conditions. Since 1953, as many as 200,000 Christians are believed to have been "disappeared" by the government. Those who are caught are subject not only to imprisonment but also torture and public execution. It is not difficult to see why this period in history is considered by experts to be the most perilous for Christians around the world. Persecution of Christians is at a level not seen before in history and authoritarian regimes are cracking down hard on Christian communities with a brutal hand. Churches everywhere are asked to pray for the deliverance of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Christianity May Still be Eradicated from Iraq, Even after ISIS is Defeated

Religious leaders have been vocalizing the threat ISIS poses to the survival of Christianity in the Middle East since ISIS rose to power, but even now that many places are being liberated from ISIS control, religious leaders say Christianity may still be eradicated. According to ChristianToday.com, thousands of Christians were driven from their homes when ISIS took over and became refugees in Erbil, under the protection of the Catholic Church. Most cities in Iraq have now been freed from ISIS control, except for Mosul, ISIS’ last stronghold where a battle is still ongoing. People are looking forward to returning home, but religious leaders caution that steps still need to be taken to protect the religious freedom of these Christians. "As these areas are retaken, we must not forget these Christians, whose lands and homes were stolen, and who have been living as refugees ever since. The military action will not end the nightmare they have been living for two years. They need continued support, and a commitment to rebuild,” said Archbishop Bashar Warda of the Chaldean Catholic Archdiocese of Erbil. “While welcoming the ongoing liberation of the Nineveh plain and Mosul, we must not forget that the genocide begun by ISIS will continue through attrition and neglect unless the United States and international community prioritizes those groups that were targeted for extermination and risk disappearing altogether,” added Carl Anderson of the Catholic organization the Knights of Columbus. Just last week, the Iraqi parliament banned the consumption and sale of alcohol--something which is forbidden for Muslims, and thus seemed to be targeting Christians who are its primary consumers and retailers. Such an action revealed to many Christians in the region that the government still may not be willing to protect them, despite what they have suffered.

 

Pakistani Christians Refused Entry into UK: ‘They Were Not Wealthy Enough’

Two Pakistani Christians have been refused visas to visit the UK because they were deemed “not wealthy enough” by the UK government. According to ChristianToday.com, the two Pakistani men were getting ready to make a trip to visit a church in Glasgow, Scotland. Two men from the Glasgow church had visited their congregation in Hyderabad, so the two Pakistanis were going to return the visit. The Scottish church was going to pay for all their expenses. However, the two men received notification from the UK government that "Immigration officials refused the applicants visas on the basis they could not prove they were wealthy enough to be allowed into the UK,” according to the Glasgow church. "We remain committed to our twinning link with the diocese of Hyderabad, with whom we enjoyed tremendous hospitality when members of our presbytery visited Pakistan last year,” stated Rev. Graham Blount, upon hearing the news that the men were refused entry into the UK. "We are deeply concerned at the refusal of the UK Government to grant visas to two of our invited partners, despite the Church of Scotland guaranteeing their travel arrangements as well as their accommodation and subsistence while they are here, the refusal seems grounded in their personal financial circumstances,” he continued.

Blount added that the church is writing to the UK government to voice their concerns. Wilson Choudhry of the British Pakistani Christian Association also voiced his condemnation of the UK’s decision: "This latest refusal is a poor indictment of the UK Home Office process which clearly is not free of bias. I will be praying for the family and will register concerns with the Home Office and Foreign Affairs Select Committee over the obvious maladministration and request a review of the decision. I hope something can be done to revoke the decision which flies in the face of common sense."

Know Your Enemy

 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, EXPOSE them” Ephesians 5:11

 Section 1 - The Old Testament -  The Jezebel Spirit

18.  From Babylon to Rome

We’ve followed the Mystery Religion from Babylon through Egypt and seen the struggle between good and evil as it threatened to contaminate God’s chosen people in Israel. We’ve seen how God kept showing the Israelites that he was their God and to stay with him and how he even went as far as to defeat Baal in a direct confrontation to prove his point in front of the whole nation. The Jews however just couldn’t seem to stay on course for very long and they kept sliding away into paganism. Satan had had enough of Plan A tactics by this point and he instead switched to Plan B. Babylon invaded the nation of Israel, laid siege to Jerusalem, sacked the city and destroyed the temple. God let this happen as a means of disciplining his people and had even forewarned the Jews that it would happen through the prophet Jeremiah. Even when Satan appears to be winning, God is always in control.

This period of Babylonian history is known as the Neo-Babylonian Period and it was the one that largely belonged to King Nebuchadnezzar II. Around 610BC, Nebuchadnezzar was a ranking staff officer within the Babylonian army who oversaw the restoration of the temple of Marduk, king of the gods, in the Babylonian pantheon. He then rose to power around 604BC and set about expanding the empire by conquest. He embarked on a number of campaigns to subdue and conquer surrounding nations and it was in 590BC that he attacked Jerusalem. From this victory, he took around 10,000 captives back with him to Babylon but these were only those that were considered useful. He took the young men, the princes, best soldiers, the craftsmen and smiths. The rest were left behind.

Perhaps the most famous of these young men taken to Babylon were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. They were to go through 3 years of training in an education program that would indoctrinate them with Babylonian ideas to make them useful to the empire. To help assimilate them into their new culture and to help swerve their allegiance away from God to the Babylonian gods, they were all given new names. The name Daniel (which means God Is My Judge) became Belteshazzar (which means (Bel/Baal Protect His Life), Hananiah (which means The Lord Shows Grace) became Shadrach (which means Under The Command Of Aku), Mishael (which means Who Is Like God?) became Meschach (which means Who Is Like Aku?) and Azariah (which means The Lord Helps) became Abednego (which means Servant of Nago, who was god of learning).

It was also upon Nebuchadnezzar’s return to Babylon at the end of these campaigns that he built this monument, called the Ishtar Gate. It was at the entrance to his great city and is the name by which Astarte or Asherah had come to be known in Babylon at that time.

On it were 337 images of dragons. 337 in pagan numerology represents hell so this gate to Babylon is literally meant to be in a sense, the gate to hell. Remember this monument because it still exists in a museum Berlin, Germany and we’ll be discussing it when we get around to the 20 Century.

Visions and revelations

  • While I was singing I saw angels all around me they were holding trumpets in their hands. Then I told the lord I want to hear that sound of trumpets. Suddenly my son who was playing keyboard, started playing trumpet. I thanked god for making me to hear that sound.
  • God cares for me as a father would care for his daughter. As I was worshiping the lord showed me different children form 8 months to teenage. Particularly I saw the eyes of the children, a group of coconut trees, a wheat field a child in it and a small pair of hands placed in an adult’s hands

Milk food and solid food

Bible talks about milk food and solid food in Heb 5:13,14

"Ask, and you will receive.”Mat 7:7 is milk food. We have heard even 50 years old believers sharing testimonies about the material and  spiritual gifts they have received from the Lord. In the same chapter verse 12 gives you the example of solid food.

Always do for other people everything you want them to do for you” Mat 7:12

How many times in a day I expect my brother, sister, comrade, mother, father etc  to do certain helps for me and  I blame them for not doing it. This is a perfect example to measure my  walk with the Lord.

Whenever I expect help from others, think of the ways I can extend  the same help to them. For eg. If  I expect my sister   in law to look after my child when I am out f the house  for some emergency. I can voluntarily go  to them and say, “If you have  any need to go out, you may  leave your child with me. I will look after”.

If every Christian start practicing this verse, this earth will be made heaven. Everybody will come to  accept Jesus Christ. That is why satan very conveniently  hid this verse from the notice of believers, even pastors.

TRUTH ABOUT JESUS – PROPHECY ABOUT SON OF MAN IN THE BIBLE (Bro.C.Umashankar IAS)

JESUS IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE EVEN TODAY, DOING MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS:

   Mark 16:17 (NKJV) And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

   Jesus is alive. How to know He is alive? He does miracles, signs and wonders even today all over the world through His children.

  Jesus directly spoke to all the prophets, starting from Abraham. When He was in the flesh and blood He spoke and we have four gospel books namely Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are wonderful, to say the least.

  He speaks now too, directly. Yes, I heard Him speaking to me on 26th February 2010. His voice was lovely clear, firml and audible. Wow. That was an everlasting experience.

END TIME IS DECEPTION TIME

     2 Timothy 4:3 (NKJV) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

 

BEWARE OF MURDERERS AND LIARS:

     John 8:44 (NKJV) You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

     John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

 

JUDGMENT FOR THOSE WHO TAMPER / ALTER THE WORD OF GOD

     Revelation 22:18 (NKJV) For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

 

SO, WHAT IS THE VERDICT?

IS HE JUST AN ORDINARY MAN?

     1) Jesus is the Prince and the Redeemer

     Jesus is the creator God who came down to earth to pay the price for sin and become the the Redeemer and King of kings.

    Acts 5:30 (NKJV) The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

 

SALVATION ONLY THROUGH JESUS

     Acts 4:12 (NKJV) Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

     2) He is the Judge on the Great White Throne judgement day.

   3) No person in human history had so many prophecies about him except Jesus. We have seen a few prophecies in the foregone paragraphs. Undoubtedly, Jesus is the Messiah and He is God, the creator. Amen.

 

WHAT JESUS HAS SAID ABOUT HIMSELF: “I am the ONLY way to Heaven”

     John 14:6 (NKJV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.

     John 3:18 (NKJV) “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

     John 5:24 (NKJV) “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

THE FINAL WORD

Let us pray for the deceived people in our secret place.

 

Prophecy NEWS Updates..

Muslim Refugees Meet Jesus: God At Work In The Midst Of Crisis

We've seen the video clips of Muslim refugees--many of them from war-torn Syria--flooding into an unprepared and overwhelmed Europe. We've heard accounts of some of these refugees committing ugly crimes and others demanding that the post-Christian societies that welcome them conform to the harsh demands of Islamic law.

We've even read the stories about Islamist terror groups such as ISIS infiltrating the refugee populations in order to wreak further havoc on the West. But chances are you don't know, as Paul Harvey might have said, the rest of the story. It's a story of God building His kingdom in the midst of chaos, doubt, and uncertainty. It's a story of Muslims meeting Jesus. Take, for example, the story of Javad.

A Muslim from Iran, Javad didn't know any Christians and didn't own a Bible, though he had heard some Christian satellite radio. Then in 2008 he migrated to Athens, and a roommate asked him to come to an Iranian church. Javad had never heard of such a thing and, curious, he went. There, in a small, unremarkable rented room, he heard the gospel and gladly received Christ.

3Now Javad is sharing the Jesus he met with other Muslim refugees in Greece. Every day he goes to a refugee center, park, or coffee shop to share the good news with Iranian and Afghan refugees.  He says that he knows of two or three Muslims each day since he arrived who have trusted in Christ. Working at a refugee center that provides practical aid, Javad says more than 2,000 Muslims at the center have turned to Jesus in the last eight years.

Because many refugees remain on the move, an informal network of new churches for Muslim converts has begun spreading in Britain, The Netherlands, Germany, and elsewhere. One church in Berlin has counted 1,200 Muslims converted in just three years, most of them Afghans and Iranians.

At a Persian church in Hamburg, meanwhile, more than 600 Pakistanis and Afghans lined up to be baptized during one service. According to a report in The Daily Beast, thousands--maybe tens of thousands--of Muslims have become followers of Jesus across Northern Europe. One young woman from Iran told the German magazine Stern, "I've been looking all my life for peace and happiness, but in Islam, I have not found them."

Another convert said the love of Christ made all the difference. "In Islam, we always lived in fear," he said. "Fear God, fear of sin, fear of punishment. But Christ is a God of love." Of course, while all this is good news for Muslims, it's not news to you, if you've been following BreakPoint. We've highlighted the ground-breaking research of David Garrison, author of the eye-opening book "A Wind in the House of Islam."

After conducting 1,000 interviews with Muslims who met and decided to follow Jesus, David says that the pace of Muslim conversion is accelerating.  Of the 82 people movements of Muslims becoming Christians since Islam was founded, 84 percent have occurred within the last two decades. Millions who used to follow Islam are now following Jesus.

"In the last couple of decades," Garrison told my colleague John Stonestreet, "we began learning of more and more places in the Muslim world where Muslims are saying, 'We realize we didn't have salvation in Islam. [B]ut we have found assurance of salvation in the person of Jesus Christ.'"

So while the wars and upheavals in the Middle East and Asia have sparked a crisis of, might I say, biblical proportions, God continues His quiet work of saving sinners and transforming lives.  As Joseph in the Old Testament said, what man meant for evil, God meant for good, for the saving of many people! That, my friends, is the rest of the story!

Alqosh, the Last Christian Town in Iraq, is Here to Stay

For more than two years it lasted, just minutes away from Islamic State-held territory. The Iraqi town of Alqosh (50km north of Mosul) is the only Christian stronghold in the country that survived IS. Looking for signs of hope for the future of Christianity in Iraq? This town, with its four churches, two monasteries and 500 Christian families, is where it can be found.

For those who grew up reading the Bible, Alqosh might ring a distant bell. It was the town where Old Testament prophet Nahum, "the Elkoshite", lived. His grave, which also houses ancient Hebrew texts, can be visited in the old centre of Alqosh. The message of the New Testament also found its way to this community long ago; since the early Middle Ages this town has been Christian. And it’s determined to stay that way.

"All over Iraq, Alqoshians are known to be strong, tough," Father Araam, one of the town’s Chaldean-Catholic priests, says. Like many Christians here, he is determined to stay, whatever happens. "I am one of God’s witnesses here. God is still here, why should I leave? As long as I am able to give a glass of water to someone who is thirsty, I am able to serve Jesus in Alqosh."

Visiting Alqosh is not easy. Before entering the town, all visitors are stopped at a heavily guarded checkpoint. Only if one of the community leaders will vouch for them are they allowed in.

The safety measures are not an unnecessary exercise; for a long time IS was just a 10-minute drive away. In 2014, IS tried to conquer Alqosh. The women and children all left the town, but most of the men stayed to defend their community, backed by Kurdish Peshmerga fighters. They succeeded; the Christians and Kurds fought off IS, and most families returned.

But there is another reason the close-knit Christian community of Alqosh is wary of outside visitors, Father Araam says. "Our country is almost 90 years old now [Iraq became independent in 1932]. Christians have really never been respected. There has been nothing but war, persecution and pressure." ‘When needed, I will protect myself’

However, the Alqoshian Christian community chose not to be pushed aside by the successive powers oppressing them. The self-implemented rule – that only Christian Alqoshians are allowed to own land or houses in the town – has kept the community safe from other religions and tribes. Over-cautious? Father Araam doesn’t think so.

"I’m sorry we have to work this way, but we have had some really bad experiences very close by," he says. "There used to be more Christian villages here on the Nineveh plain; we lost them all." But until today, the informal tribal law system has granted the Alqoshians the opportunity to keep out strangers, ensuring it remains a 100 per cent Christian-owned community. This freedom comes with a price. The men in the town are expected to play their role in protecting it. Father Araam visits the frontline often in his role as priest, recognisable by his white collar. He opens his phone and shows pictures of himself with Peshmerga fighters.

Often soldiers ask me: ‘Priest, why are you here?’ My answer is: ‘As Christians we pray for you, we pray you will stay safe, that you will be able to return to your home,’" he says. "IS is a killing machine – they don’t see soldiers as people.

"As a church we have a different story, a story of love. I’ll gladly share that everywhere, even on the battle line. I am here to help as a Christian, but, when needed, I will protect myself and my town." In Alqosh the churches and the monastery play their own role. On a hill overlooking the town, the compound of Our Lady Monastery is a popular place for Alqoshians to spend the evening.

The prior, Father Gabriel, sees an important role for the town’s clergy. "For me as a priest, I see it gives people hope as long as I am here with them," he says. "Even when IS came in 2014, we didn’t perform miracles. Just the fact that we stayed here as long as we could was a testimony, a living hope for the believers."

‘Their community is vanishing’ The prior says he feels called to do everything he can to keep the Christians from leaving the country.

"Christianity in Iraq is like a big tree," says Father Gabriel. "It has been here for 2,000 years, but today our enemies are many and they want to cut down the tree. They want to get rid of us." When Iraqi Christians move to Europe or North America, trying to "re-plant" themselves there, their faith is in danger, he says.

"There already are a lot of Iraqi Christian communities in America and Europe, but they are all melting, becoming part of those cultures," he says. "The next generation will not be recognisable. Their faith will disappear because the community they belong to is vanishing."

Fr. Gabriel is doing his best to make the place feel safe and hospitable. A small shop sells refreshments for visitors. A young couple just got married and are celebrating outside the monastery gates. A children’s birthday party is celebrated near a farm maintained by the monastery. Here it’s possible to forget about IS, the threats and the problems for a while.

"My whole family, except one sister, all of them left the country," Father Gabriel says. "These people are my family now, my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have committed my life to this church, to these people. Once you give a gift like that, you don’t take it back. "When Jesus went to Jerusalem, the people were planning to kill and crucify him. Peter tried to stop them, using violence. But Jesus said to Peter: ‘Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword!’"

"Christianity in Alqosh is like gold," says Fr. Araam. "It is tested in the fire. It hurts, but the result is that the gold will be purer. I see people changing, not just in faith but also in their behaviour. They have felt for themselves that, when everything could be taken from them, God is all that remains. When the government soldiers leave you, when IS comes, when you run out of bullets, who do you cry out to?"

‘We need international support’

Both Fr. Araam and Fr. Gabriel call upon the international community to support the Christians in Iraq. They say that without political and even military protection of the Christian minority, life will be very difficult for Christians, even if IS is defeated completely. Fr. Gabriel compares the position of Christians to the state of Israel. "All the Arab countries are Islamic countries; they are all against Israel," he says. "And yet, Israel is strong, stronger than the Arab world. Why? If the international community can guarantee safety for Israel, why not do the same for the Christians in Iraq?" He calls for a UN-protected safe zone for Christians. "We need international support. Our enemies are many, we are just a small group," he says. Father Araam agrees with him and says he is grateful for the many humanitarian organisations already supporting Christians in Alqosh. "Many groups support our work here. There is still love left in the world. That helps us in keeping the hope that we will have a life and a future," he says.

Know Your Enemy

 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, EXPOSE them” Ephesians 5:11

 Section 1 - The Old Testament -  The Jezebel Spirit

The Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit

You will often find the Jezebel spirit trying to get close to those who already have control. Proverbs says:

Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths; For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men. Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.

Scripture emphasises that the intended target of this spirit is ‘strong men’. It primarily targets men with leadership skills or powerful positions such as Nimrod and Ahab. But in reality she has a deep hatred of true spiritual authority and will always seek to replace it with illegitimate authority. She will do this through emotional pressure, witchcraft and obsessive sensuality. But make no mistake; lust and sex are merely tools to weaken others in order for her to accomplish her goal. The subtle persuasions of femininity are used only to gain influence and get close to those in control. She then uses this position to gradually dominate.   In the Hebrew, the name Jezebel means literally "without cohabitation". She will not live with those she cannot dominate and control. She will have no equals. We saw evidence of this when Semiramis ordered the death of Nimrod and plotted to do the same to Tammuz. There are no ends she will not go to in order to gain and keep control. It is what Jezebel wants more than anything.

Domination is always satanic and stands in contrast to the example given by Jesus, the servant king, “who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.” (Philippians 2:6) Even when Jezebel appears to be submissive, it is usually out of a carefully wrought plan to gain influence. In 1 Kings 21:8 we read "Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles of the city." This tells us that she prefers to remain concealed in the background, while she manipulates situations and leaders. A hidden hand behind the public figure. Just like Satan is the King of Tyre pulling the strings behind the Prince of Tyre.

Demonic Depression and Loss of Vision

The power of the spirit of Jezebel should not be underestimated. For seven years God had carefully and miraculously protected Elijah from Ahab’s armies. God had even commanded ravens to feed him in the wilderness. He had super naturally met all his needs.

In the Mount Carmel showdown, Elijah called down fire from heaven and resoundingly defeated and killed the priests of Baal. All Israel fell at his feet in repentance worshipping the true God. Elijah was one of the mightiest prophets of God that the world had ever seen. He was vindicated and victorious. And yet it took a single threat from Jezebel to send Elijah spinning into anxiety and even depression. He fled to the desert and begged God to kill him. Think about this because naturally speaking it makes no sense. Elijah enjoyed supernatural protection for seven years, watched fire fall from heaven, saw his enemies defeated and still Jezebel could bring him to this condition with a single threat.

This is an example of Jezebel’s power to intimidate and strike fear into the hearts of men, causing them to withdraw. Jezebel will try to steal your vision. Jezebel will even make you depressed and anxious when there is nothing significantly different in your circumstances. If there are difficult circumstances, this spirit will tell you they are insurmountable, impossible, and overwhelming. Jezebel will make you feel like dying when in reality, you are God’s man of the hour.

Spiritual life may seem irrelevant and pointless. You may lose the desire to pray and the faith to try. Demonic voices will tell you it’s all hopeless. You may suddenly find yourself in unreasonable anxiety, fearing tragedy or death. Pessimistic and cynical. Much of what is called "depression" is Jezebel. Jezebel wants to paralyse with fear, condemnation, depression, apathy or whatever it takes until we withdraw. The only answer for those under Jezebel’s attack is perseverance in battle and remember, the God who resoundingly defeated Baal on Carmel can do the same today.

 Visions and revelations

    • When I was worshipping I saw a few people going to heaven led by a man wearing a long white robe. Many people were crying and shouting at the bottom where there was darkness.
    • God put a strong sensation in my heart. God himself is going to come down and break the bondage of this nation and the strongholds of satan personally. God reminded us the promises of the day Genesis 28:15 that he is not going to leave us until he fulfills all the promises.
    • When I was worshipping God reminded me of the promises of the day Genesis 28:15 and told me He is going to rebuild his tabernacles and make us his memorandum.
    • Presence of God filled my heart and I felt the Spirit of God hovering over this place. That time an unexplainable joy filled my heart. And God gave me a burden for my country and my area. Thank you Jesus for this wonderful experience
