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  12:17  The spirit of  false witness 

Glorified appearance

When I go to share my experiences about how the Lord gives visions, the usual question they ask me is, “how do you hear His voice? Is it audible?”

So we started prophecy school, where we teach the students how to keep themselves in a disposition to hear the voice of the Lord, how to wait in prayer etc. The gospel of Luke, the following verses make it all the more clear to us.

“Suddenly two men were talking with him, they were Moses and Elijah. They had a glorified appearance and were discussing Jesus’ departure that he would shortly bring about in Jerusalem” Lk 9:30,31

What does it show?

Saints after departing from this world will have glorified appearances. The disciples could recognize their identity as Moses & Elijah? How they have never seen them physically. In his  spirit Peter could perceive them.

Did they have anything to do with Jesus’ death? Yes. They were messengers sent by the Heavenly Father to inform Jesus about His death. They informed him about the place and time of his death. They talked in a language Apostles could understand.  We never know if it is the first time Jesus was told about it or if they confirmed it. The Father strengthened Jesus after showing him the most terrible death He was going to face.

“Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Keep listening to him” 

Lk 9:35

Have a close walk with Jesus! He will reveal things what  are going to happen to you in future!  About your achievements, placements, callings, gifts, oppositions to come, betrayers etc. He will comfort you , guide you, lead you so that you can have a peaceful journey on this earth!

O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with Psalms. For the Lord is a great God,And a great king above all gods. Psalm 95:1-3

• 4 New teachers were introduced this time.The interesting fact is that all students testified that the best of classes was by these 4 teachers,apart from others.
• Most of the students willingly accepted to be teachers.

• 3 children below 8 years of age came with the parents.They were given a separate room to play so that the classes will go smoothly.but they being kids made too much noise.In order to keep them quite we started teaching them about dream and visions.

• To our astonishment they never needed any teaching.Instant prophecies and visions were pouring out through them,which even grown adult can't do.
• God gave us new plan now that very soon prophecy school for children will be starting.Data,time and place will be announced soon

Body, Soul and Spirit  Part 1

Our Spirit is the place where God dwells. With our spirit we communicate with God. With soul we communicate with other human beings and with body we communicate with  the world.

These three relationships are interconnected and should be balanced. The imbalance in any,  will affect our whole personality. The Creator has put forth  the principles of balance between these three.

For a man, spirit is the most important component because the Creator has made it His dwelling place. The  first and foremost commandment is given below:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. Mar 12:30 

The first and foremost place of primary importance  in a man’s life should be God. We can communicate with God only through our  spirit.

Next comes the soul because,

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mar 12:31 

We communicate  with our neighbor  through our soul. Soul is the seat of

1. Mind,
2. Will

Finally comes the body. It is just a  servant like a machine. Whatever our spirit or body commands, it executes.

 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,  they are spirit, and  they are life. Jn  6:63

TEACHING: Truth about baptism –  baptism, “it is a counterfeit currency”, thus says the Lord. Can the believers escape hell fire? What happens when a blind leads a blind? (Luke 6:39).

5(3) THE TRUTH- YOU ARE CHOSEN TO BEAR FRUITS TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN – Without Holy Spirit how to give fruits? 

The Lord has chosen us to remain in Him in order to bear fruits for the Kingdom of Heaven.     

John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.    

1. a) One becomes a child of Jesus ONLY to speak about Him to others.1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special 12people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;     

1. b) Those who do not bear fruits would be cast into fire John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.    

Also: Matthew 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Only the children can give fruits. Those who have fallen for the counterfeit baptism cannot think about giving fruits because they themselves are not saved. They are a deceived lot. They cannot withstand the onslaught of the enemy if they try to give fruits to the Kingdom as they do not have strength due to non availability of the Holy Spirit.

5(4) THE TRUTH: SIGNS AND WONDERS ALONE PROVE THAT JESUS IS WITH US.

Mark 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.    

 The churches which adopt counterfeit baptism are devoid of these signs and they do not have the Holy Spirit in them. That means Jesus is not in control of these churches. Then who is in control of the like churches?

5(5) THE TRUTH TRADITION LOVING CHURCHES WHICH COMPROMISED ON BAPTISM PRINCIPLES ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE DEVIL        

Matthew 12:30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.  

5 (6) THE TRUTH-FEARING MAN INSTEAD OF GOD WOULD BE DISASTROUS:

From the Old Testament:    

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.    

Proverbs 1:29 Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord,    

Proverbs 13:13 He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the 13 commandment will be rewarded.    

Proverbs 14:2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him.     

Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.    

Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the Lord leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil

Christians Emulate Queen Esther To Stand With Israel For Such A Time As This

This Purim, Jews sat down to read the Megillah, most without realizing that Esther's eternal lessons serve to not only inspire Jews, but many Christian Zionists as well. One verse in particular from the Book of Esther has become the rallying cry for pro-Israel Christians to support the People and the Land of Israel. In the fourth chapter of the Book of Esther, Mordechai approaches the Queen and begs her to intercede on behalf of the Jewish people who are being threatened by the evil Haman. Esther has kept her faith a secret and so is not personally in any danger. Nevertheless, Mordechai tells her that she was chosen for a specific purpose, to be in the right place at the right time:

"For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish; and who knows whether you attained your royal position for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)

This proves to be the turning point in the story. Mordechai's question inspires Esther to bravely step forward and defend her people, thwarting Haman's scheme and saving the nation of Israel from persecution and genocide.Christians find parallels in their own experience to this moving passage. They see anti-Semitism on the rise all over the world and are concerned about the growing threats against the State of Israel. Like Esther, Christian Zionists know they are not personally at risk but believe they are uniquely positioned to stand with the nation of Israel "for such a time as this."In my work on behalf of Israel365 and Breaking Israel News, I have had the good fortune to meet countless pro-Israel Christians. I am constantly impressed by their love for the Bible along with their eagerness to support Israel. I have heard over and over again the phrase "for such a time as this" as a primary source for their spiritual activism. A close friend of mine, Reverend Rebecca Brimmer of Bridges for Peace, a Jerusalem-based Christian organization, explained to her global community of supporters, "In many encounters with Israeli leadership I have been thanked for the support of Christians. There is growing recognition that we are the best friends Israel has in the world today."  Rebecca sees similarities with her mission and the story of Esther.

"I am full of awe as I realize the pivotal role God has given us," she said. "Think of this: We have been chosen by God to be alive in this time in history when God is fulfilling His prophetic Word to the nation and people of Israel in the sight of the entire world. He could have chosen any time in history for us to sojourn on this planet, but in His infinite wisdom, God chose us for 'for such a time as this'."Bridges for Peace is not the only pro-Israel Christian group to find inspiration in Esther 4:14. The well known Texas-based group Christians United for Israel (CUFI), under the leadership of Pastor John Hagee, sells t-shirts and hoodies with this verse emblazoned on the front. "For such a time as this" has become a tagline to motivate Christians of the urgency in standing with Israel. The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) offers seminars all over the world called "For Such a Time as This" on the dangers of anti-Semitism. The seminar educates non-Jews about the horrors of the Holocaust and is led by instructors who have received training from Yad Vashem. Through their seminar, the ICEJ aims to "raise up an Esther generation" in order "to stand with the Jewish People." When Haman first presented his genocidal plot against the Jews to King Achashverosh, he denounced a despised nation "scattered and dispersed among the other peoples in all the provinces of your realm, whose laws are different from those of any other people and who do not obey the king's laws; and it is not in Your Majesty's interest to tolerate them". (Esther 3:8)

Throughout our history, the Jewish people have had few friends and many accusers as Haman's accusation has surfaced in nearly every generation. Thankfully, today, there are millions of Christians all over the world returning to the texts of our Tanakh and the stories of the Hebrew Bible. We should all go into Purim with extra "joy and gladness" in appreciation of the many non-Jews who are following in the footsteps of Queen Esther to stand with Israel 'for such a time as this'."

Christian Sites Destroyed in Iran

Muslim extremists have damaged historic churches in recent years without any response from international groups, a Christian news outlet in Iran says. Mohabat News reported that in recent years, Islamic extremists destroyed a number of church sites, including historic Armenian and evangelical churches. The reports cited vandalism at a historic Christian cemetery in 2012, more recent property damage at an Armenian church in Sava, and at the destruction of least two churches in Salmas County. Many of the roughly 500 registered church buildings are abandoned or “on the verge of destruction.” Iran Press Watch, which documents persecution against the Baha’i minority, reported security forces have often closed, relocated, and damaged their cemeteries.

Mohabat News criticized UNESCO, the UN agency that recognizes places around the world for their cultural significance, for overlooking the incidents. The agency often speaks out against attacks on cultural and religious sites; it condemned Islamic State’s (ISIS) destruction of the Syrian Temple of Bel in 2015 and Palmyra’s Tetrapylon in 2017. The Iranian government is also responsible for confiscation of land from non-Muslims and allowing historic Christian sites to fall into disrepair. In 2013, Deutsche Welle reported the Doulab cemetery near Tehran was in danger of “rotting away” after government officials revoked the cemetery’s license. The land was supposed to be a protected cultural site. “Constructors and investors have cast an eye on this piece of land. There are plans to convert this area into a park. But this cemetery is part of [Iran’s] national cultural heritage and is protected,” said Siavesh Rastegar, whose grandmother is buried in the cemetery.

In December 2016, an appeals court upheld the confiscation of Sharon Gardens, a property that belonged to a Persian-speaking Protestant community called Jama’at-e Rabbani. Authorities stripped away their rights to the land after they were accused of espionage. “Christians out of fear kept quiet about a lot of church property confiscations in the past,” a spokesman named Borji told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. “But confiscating Sharon Gardens is not a simple matter. They can accuse all the other Christian groups of espionage and working for the CIA and take away their properties, too.” Iran’s Shia Muslim theocracy severely restricts religious minorities. The government has not permitted any new groups or construction of new religious buildings since 1979, according to a 2013 report from the UK group Christians in Parliament. Authorities also closed down many churches, banned services in Farsi, and prohibited Christians from evangelizing to Muslims. Conversion away from Islam is also illegal and harshly punished.

It is so dangerous for evangelical churches to meet in official buildings that most operate “underground” as part of the burgeoning secret church movement. Open Doors ranked Iran eighth on its most recent World Watch List of nations that persecute Christians, up one spot from last year. Director of Elam Ministries, Iranian-born David Yeghnazer, said government efforts to clamp down on Christianity in Iran through Bible bans, church closures, media censorship, imprisonment, and killings have backfired. The number of evangelicals in Iran is said to be growing faster than in any other country.

Despite Persecution, Christianity is Exploding in Bangladesh “Many Muslims are converting. Mostly in the rural areas.”

DHAKA, BANGLADESH – According to official estimates, the religious composition of Bangladesh is 89.1 percent Muslim, 10 percent Hindi, with less than one percent Christian in a nation of over 156 million people. But unofficially, Christianity is much larger and growing, especially in the rural areas. Is the fourth largest Muslim nation in the world and place of many terrorist activities on the path to becoming a peaceful Christian nation? “Uncounted Converts” believe so. On a recent fact finding trip to Bangladesh, Christian Freedom International President Jim Jacobson interviewed scores of indigenous Christian pastors, street evangelists, missionaries and converts to Christianity. According to them, Christianity is on the increase and the growth is a cause of concern for the Muslim majority. As a result, persecution is on the increase against the fast growing, mostly underground Christian church.

Official Reports are Wrong

Official reports on religious composition only count “traditional Christians,” i.e., people who are born into the Christian faith and attend government approved churches. But “converts,” those who change their religion from Islam to Christianity are not counted and no surveys have been made. The consensus among “converts” is that Christians in Bangladesh make up of at least 10 percent of the population and is growing more every day. Some indigenous evangelists tell CFI they believe that Bangladesh will become a Christian nation in their lifetimes. If the 10 percent number is correct, there are at least 15,600,000 Christians in this Muslim majority nation. Evidence seems to support the claims.

More than 20,000 Converts

Pastor Khaleque, 60, a former Muslim and now a Christian street pastor who works among the hill tribes, in the northeast part of Bangladesh, told CFI, “In the last 12 months, more than 20,000 Muslims have converted to Christianity. More than 20,000 have converted and this is becoming a real problem for the Muslims.” Khaleque faces many difficulties, has been beaten several times, and must pay bribes to police to continue his work

More than 700 Converts

Pastor Rafiqul Islam, who after converting to Christianity goes by the name Rafiqul, pastors a church of 25 converts in the village Bhadai Bangladesh. He meets in a house church. Rafiqul converted in 2007. “I converted to get eternal life in Jesus Christ.” After Rafiqul converted, his rickshaw shop and tea business were taken away from him and he was disowned by his family.

Shortly after converting to Christianity, in the village, he shared the gospel with friends. Two Imams caught him talking about Christianity in the market and attacked him. The Imams beat him and tied him with ropes in front of a nearby Mosque. His sons ransomed him only after they agreed that they would force him to reconvert to Islam. After his sons failed to bring him back to the Muslim religion, they beat their father nearly to death, took all his possessions and left him to die. Among pastoring a church for converts, he works as an evangelist, risking his life each day. Rafiqul told CFI, “Many Muslims are converting. Mostly in the rural areas.” In Rafiqul’s rural village of Bhadai, he has seen more than 700 Muslims have convert to Christianity in the past 24 months. He said to CFI, “More people are converting every day. Although persecuted, we are preaching the Good News.”

CFI President Jim Jacobson visits with Christians in Bangladesh

More than 6,000 Converts

Pastor Harun-Or-Rashid, 36, a Muslim convert to Christianity, said he converted when in 2001. He now pastors a church for 36 converts in his village of Bahgobannagar. He told CFI that his church is growing. “More converts are coming to his church. In my district more than 6,000 have converted from 1991 until now,” he told CFI. Pastor Rashid said he is targeted for assassination by IS. He told CFI, “Of course I am afraid, but when I think about my spiritual life I am not afraid. We continue to preach no matter what.” Converted after reading leaflet.

Lovelu-Sadik Lebio , 32, who converted to Christianity in 2004, said he became a Christian after reading a leaflet. The leaflet was titled, “Hope for the Hopeless,” and included many verses from the Bible, including Acts 10:43. Following his conversion his family disowned him, his wife left him, and he lost his job. He said “I am dead to them.” He met another convert who helped him and then he later became a pastor and street evangelist. Lebio has 52 converts in his main house church in the village of West Doiljur. He also pastors three other smaller house churches for converts.

Young People are Converting

Babul, 22, a Muslim who converted Christianity on December 25, 2013, worked as a day laborer. He met some converts to Christianity and learned about Christ. As a result, he accepted Christ as his Savior. Following his conversion, Babul’s life was threatened and he was disowned by his family. He had to go into hiding in the jungle to survive. After eight months of living in the jungle, some Christian converts helped him. He is now a “street preacher” and takes many risks to share the gospel. He has been beaten numerous times but sees it as a badge of honor. Babul told CFI, “The young like me, are converting. Many more are interested. Especially young people, they are interested in Christ. But they think about the cost of converting and it is high because they have to leave everything. But many are interested in Christ.”

Christianity Offers Hope

Bakar, a Christian convert told CFI, “Christianity is really growing in Bangladesh. The next generation is becoming Christian. We believe that Bangladesh will become a Christian nation one day. Islam has no mercy, no compassion, no love. It has nothing to offer. Christianity offers the assurance of eternal life, it offers hope.” Despite reports to the contrary, Christianity is growing around the world, especially in nations where Christians face persecution.Christian Freedom International has worked in Bangladesh for many years and runs several missions in the country. Among other things, CFI supports a center for disabled converts to Christianity and supports indigenous Christian pastors, evangelists, and missionaries throughout the Bangladesh. Christian Freedom International is an organization dedicated to promoting religious liberty and helping persecuted Christians around the world.
