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

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

Pr, 15:14   The spirit in the  mouth of fools which feeds on foolishness

 

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Receive power

I was meditating the word “power” in Act 1:8

“But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost has come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”. 

Power: Dunamis

Original: δύναμις

Transliteration: dunamis

Phonetic: doo’-nam-is

Thayer Definition:

  • strength power, ability
  • inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
  • power for performing miracles
  • moral power and excellence of soul
  • the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth
  • power and resources arising from numbers
  • power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts.

Here power of  the  Holy Spirit (worker of) miracle (-s), is all the power put together, i.e. power for  mighty (wonderful) works.  This power  is received through the  baptism of the  Holy Spirit. Some people receive this baptism through  laying on of hands but some others, while being alone during secret prayers. The Pentecostal Churches teach or make people believe that Pastors or Church  leaders alone are authorised to impart this anointing. In the Bible we see examples opposite to this.  Paul received anointing when Ananias, an  ordinary unknown lay person,  who never appeared before in the Bible , prayed over Saul. John the Baptist, in the womb of Elizabeth,  leaped with joy when Mary with Jesus in her womb,  met an ordinary woman Elizabeth. We have 1000s of examples, of secret believers  receiving baptism of the Holy Spirit  in private rooms while praying alone. This power when it rests on a person can overturn all other powers both of  this world and  of the next.  i.e. all religious and  spiritual powers  working  against it. E.g. power of  kingdoms, empires, satan, power of gods and goddesses etc.

Troop Church Testimonies

Today I was called for a resuscitation ( new born) when I went there baby was delivered but did not cry, baby was floppy and cyanosed ( which means heart beat is very slow and inadequate) immediately started off with resuscitation ( CPR and bag and mask ventilation) heart beat improved immediately but no spontaneous breathing or movements. After 1 hour of resuscitation still the same condition, so we discussed to stop resuscitation and declare dead(only heart beat is there so no point shifting or bagging and stopped resuscitation)

After everyone went out only the sister who helped me and myself were in the room .All of a sudden I remembered Elijah’s encounter with the dead boy. Immediately I prophesied looking at the dead baby, to start moving . Immediately baby started to move her legs again I prophesied to start breathing immediately it started to gasp, I resumed resuscitation till the team from Surya hospital arrived.

Baby shifted ALIVE to higher centre

Result

Baby’s parents were given the gospel .

People were surprised that a doctor could prophecy and proclaim the gospel.The nurse who helped me resuscitation said she will attend troop Church tommorow.

Praise be to Jesus

Hallelujah 🙌

Transformation  India Programme 

“Go and do likewise” 

(This message was given  in the National Meet of Trans India Programme  which was held on 16.6.2017 in Padappai, Chennai. The Lord gave this strategy as the next step for evangelizing India from July 2017 onwards. From 16.6.2006,  the day He revealed the 14 years plan for His visiting India, He was revealing His strategies  one by one. )

Luk 10:37  And he said, The one doing the deed of mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do likewise. 

Luk 10:30  And answering, Jesus said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his clothing and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 

Let us meditate on these verses.

  1. A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho

The man mentioned in the parable in  Lk 10:30-37, can be  any man, believer, unbeliever, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, atheist, rich, poor, educated, uneducated, pastor, Church leader, King, slave etc. This can happen to anybody, any time in their life. Jesus was also given (He himself handed himself over) to robbers at one time. Any time, anybody can fall in the hands of robbers during their faith journey on this earth.

  1. Fell among robbers

This man was  dwelling in Jerusalem (God’s city) and was going  down to Jericho (the cursed city Josh 6:26, 1 Ki 16:34).He had no   protection. The road was not safe. When one goes out of the boundary of grace given to him/allowed to him, he /she is likely to fall among robbers, thorns, or  problems which will mess up his life.

Even Jesus knew His boundaries when He was in this world.

Mat 11:27  “All things are delivered to Me by My Father. Everything in this world was entrusted to him by His Father. Jesus was well aware of it.

But Jesus knew what was allowed to Him by His father. What He should do and should not do, where he should go and where  not to go, whom to confront and  whom to submit to, where to exercise authority and   where to obey. He was completely at the disposal of His Father’s will. Never went out of margin. Check the following  examples. It  was His  Father’s will that

  1. Jesus, while on earth should not handle  money in the  So a cashier was there who was in charge of all the monetary transactions of Jesus’ ministry; Judas,  in the course of time,  turned out  to be a thief. This situation did not have any impact on Jesus stand.
  2. Jesus should not have land, properties, wealth etc while living on earth. Jesus never owned the above or never helped the Apostles to acquire  the above.
  3. Jesus should not marry, beget children.
  4. Jesus should not raise his voice against the most unjust verdict ever passed by the judicial authority of his government.
  5. Jesus should not safeguard himself from death by crucifixion, the most inhuman punishment imposed by the Roman government on the slaves.
  6. Jesus should not exercise the basic fundamental right of   self protection.

Peace Is Light-Years Away

If the leaders of the Palestinian Authority (PA) had invested as much time, energy and other people’s money in building a flourishing society as they do in the pursuit of death and destruction, there would be no need for outside efforts to broker peace between them and their Israeli counterparts.

It takes only about 30 minutes to drive from the Muqataa compound in Ramallah to the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem.

Take this week, for instance, which began with the Palestinians’ refusal to host US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman — whom US President Donald Trump has included in his Mideast peacemaking team, along with advisers Jason Greenblatt and Jared Kushner — in Ramallah.

Friedman is too pro-Israel, as far as Abbas is concerned. As a result, the meeting between American and Palestinian officials on Tuesday took place at the King David Hotel in west Jerusalem.

On Thursday, Greenblatt joined fellow envoys of the Middle East Quartet — the US (which he represents), the European Union, the United Nations and Russia — in Jerusalem “to discuss current efforts to advance Middle East peace, as well as the deteriorating situation in Gaza.”

Ramallah may be a mere 10 miles from Jerusalem, but it — like peace — is light-years away.

Good Samaritans Rescue Family Trapped in Overturned Vehicle

After a minivan was involved in a serious crash on a Texas highway, a group of strangers stopped to help the family trapped inside the vehicle.

The driver of the minivan was not involved in the racing, but was one of the vehicles in the path of danger when the racing got out of control.

Christians Overtake Muslims to Become Largest Group of Refugees Entering U.S.

Christians made up the majority of refugees admitted to the U.S. in the first five full months of the Trump administration, reversing a trend that saw Muslims entering the country at higher numbers under President Obama, a new Pew Research report shows. Out of all the refugees who arrived between President Trump’s inauguration and June 30, about half were Christians and 38 percent were Muslims, according to data released Wednesday (July 12). In the wake of Trump’s executive orders restricting travel to the U.S. from seven — and under the revised travel ban, six — Muslim-majority countries, the report said, “the religious affiliation of refugees has come under scrutiny.”

Author of 10th-Century Hebrew Biblical Text is Identified

The author of a 10th-century collection of scriptures has been identified as the same scribe who wrote the the earliest known complete copy of the Hebrew Bible. The finding could influence future translations of the Hebrew Scriptures, also known as the Old Testament, according to a news release from Tyndale House, Cambridge, which published the research. The ancient text, known to scholars as Codex L17, contains only Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Researcher Kim Phillips wrote in an article the Tyndale Bulletin that he determined that the author was the scribe Samuel ben Jacob, or “Samuel, son of Jacob,” and that it was written around the year 975. Samuel ben Jacob also wrote The Leningrad Codex, the earliest known complete copy of the Hebrew Bible, completed in the year 1008 and the basis for many modern biblical translations.

L17 was part of the Firkovich Collection of Hebrew manuscripts housed in the Russian National Library, which Phillips described as “the most important trove of manuscripts for the study of the medieval text of the Hebrew Bible.” Using digital images of the codex published by the National Library of Israel, Phillips said he was able to identify the scribe based on similarities in the lettering patterns between these two texts and another partial text by Samuel that he discovered in 2015. Phillips reported that the Hebrew letters used to represent the word for God in L17 also resembled the 10th-century scribe’s style and usage in other writings.

Christians in Coastal Kenya Fearful after Slaughter of 13 Non-Muslims

Al Shabaab militia over the weekend killed 13 non-Muslims, mostly Christians, in coastal Kenya, sources said.

“The Christians were asked to recite the Islamic dogmas, which they could not, hence they were killed,” a source said. “We urged the government to investigate and bring to book these local Muslims who are harboring these Al Shabaab terrorists, because the Christians who were decapitated were farmers.” Those who managed to flee and survived have had their crops damaged by wild animals and are still in great shock, the source added. “The government has now beefed up security in the area, and we hope the victims who fled will soon return back, but they need some trauma counseling first,” he said. Area Christians have now left their villages. “We are now residing at the police station in Hindi for fear of possible attacks,” one area resident told Morning Star News. Many area people are still missing or unaccounted for, and there are fears the casualty toll may increase. Two other sources in Lamu County said Christians in the coastal region of Kenya are in serious crisis as they face food shortages after fleeing their farms. Kenya ranked 18th on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2017 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.

Pr, 20:25  The spirit which makes one  devote rashly something as holy

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

The LORD weighs intentions 

Mary was left alone at the tomb of Jesus. Disciples returned after verifying her report. She should have gone with them but did not.  The Lord saw the burden of her heart  and appeared to her. The intentions of the heart is important in the sight of God.

Pro 20:5  The intentions of a person's heart are deep waters, ……

Pro 16:2  ………. the LORD weighs intentions. 

Jesus when left alone, forsaken by everybody,

“…… withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray, prayed to His father, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done." Lk 22:41, 42 

Different people respond to situations in different ways when they  are left to themselves.

Why didn’t Herodial’s daughter ask for half of the kingdom of Herod when given an opportunity, but ask for John the Baptist’s head?

Why did the Hebrew girl risk her life by introducing a prophet of the enemy land to her mistress, Naaman’s wife?

Why did Joseph chose to be a  victim to the ferocious anger of his mistress instead enjoying sensual pleasures with her?

Why did Jephthah decide to stick on to his promise  when he realised that his promise to God will take a toll of His only daughter? 

The Lord observes the intentions of human hearts and records them . They may not be justifiable in others’ eyes. But He weighs the intentions  of human hearts.

The Lord looks at the  hearts of the people of  India.. He knows that they are God seekers. The Lord loves India. He said He will change the destiny of India in 14 years. We see His words being fulfilled.

Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins

It is he whom we proclaim as we admonish and wisely teach everyone, so that we may present everyone mature in the Messiah.  I work hard and struggle to do this, using the energy that he powerfully provides in me. Col 1:28,29 

Paul worked hard and struggled to admonish and teach everyone. He used all the energy  which was provided to him.

What was the energy provided to him to  work for the salvation of his people who rejected him, tried to kill him and wanted him to be done away with?

The energy of forgiveness – It is so powerful!

To change any human being!

To melt any rock!

To melt any hard heart!

Paul himself was the product of  such an energy which worked in a man called Stephen! The power of his  last prayer only pulled Paul towards Christ!

“And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep”. Act 7:60 

Paul’s love for his people is described in Romans chapter 11.

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Joh 13:34, 35 

Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment  which upgraded the commandments of  love of  the  Old Testament which is the law book of  a major section of the population in the world  today. 

I am making an examination of conscience here for the Christians of India today.

Are we able to forgive our brothers of BJP and RSS who  are planning to annihilate Christians from this nation before 2021?

Are we able to forgive our brothers of ISIS who want to annihilate all the non-Muslim population before 2025, to make the whole world a Caliphate for Allah to rule over?

Are we able to pray with Jesus,

“And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Luk 23:34 

If we are to win this nation India for Jesus before 2020, we have to start praying from today onwards,

Lord we love all our dear brothers and sisters of India.

By this, we fulfill the commandment of Jesus in Mat 5:20.

“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Mat 5:20 

Every school going child whether Hindu, Muslim or Christian, recites this  pledge every day; “India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters”

In what way does my righteousness exceed the righteousness of all the citizens of this country?  What do I do more for my country? for my government? for my fellow citizens, irrespective of caste or religion?

In a country where a lady  ex M.L.A. (Hindu) who has donated  35 acres of her land with many institutions it had,  to the  Government, is now surviving  in her old age,  on a daily wage of Rs. 80/-

Does my righteousness exceed her righteousness?

If not, I cannot bring healing to this land. Healing which is a finished work on Calvary, can come only by observing the commandments of Jesus-

Loving as He loved us and

Forgiving one another

Can we ask pardon from God for speaking ill of our political  leaders

Gandhiji, the Father of the Nation, could bring Independence to this country  only by adopting the Bible principle.

 Gandhiji, being a non Christian, was deeply rooted in the Beatitudes of the Bible and fought  his Christian colonial leaders by the Bible principle “Ahimsa” and gained freedom for India.

I have been given the greatest gift of Salvation whereas he was not? In what way does my righteousness exceed that of His?

To all the nations!

To all the nations, the gospel of  repentance and forgiveness should be preached!

This message should reach every nation! 

This is not an easy job! That is why they were  “clothed with power from on high”

Christians Face Lengthy Prison Sentences in Iran

Three Iranian Christians have been sentenced to prison as the country increases its crackdown on Christianity.

Mission Network News reports that two of the three men sentenced to prison are Muslim converts to Christianity.

The three men were sentenced to at least a decade in prison each on charges of blasphemy, “organizing and creating house churches,” and “acting against national security.”

In addition to these three arrests, Shamiram Isavi Khabizeh, the wife of Pastor Victor Tamraz, one of the men who was sentenced, was arrested and charged with “participating in foreign seminars” and “acting against Iranian national security.” She was later released.

 

10 Things You Should Know about North Korea

North Korea is a country surrounded by a lot of myths. While most people likely know that North Korea is ruled by a dictator and is not a place most people have any desire to visit, actual knowledge about the country is often scarce.

It's important, however, to understand the history of this country and what it is really like for its citizens in order to better understand events going on in the world, as well as to understand how to pray for this country, where God has many people, despite the intense persecution Christians there receive.

Additionally, since North Korea has been surfacing more frequently in the news lately, it is especially important to get some backstory on North Korea's threat of missiles and nuclear weapons

 

Christians terrorised by Hindu villagers in Telangana

A mob of Hindu villagers led by the head of the village disrupted a gathering of Christians, who were gathered in a private home to worship on 2 July 2017 in the southern Indian state of Telangana.

The mob burnt a Bible, Christian literature, musical instruments and holy sacraments and forcefully applied ‘Bottu’ (a religious mark) on the forehead of the Christian women present.

 

Attacks on Christians surge in the first 100 days of new rule in Uttar Pradesh

Spikng crime rates, vigilantism, sectarian clashes, moral policing and a growing sense of insecurity felt by the minorities marked the completion of 100 days in office for Yogi Adityanath, the ‘firebrand Hindu cleric’ who is the new Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India.

Adityanath claims that he is ‘satisfied’ with the work he has done in the first 100 days of his government but the opposition and minorities are not buying it.

Playing to his Hindu hardliner image, he also issued orders to crack down on illegal slaughterhouses and meat shops and put a ban on cow smuggling which has since then become an excuse for attacks on Muslims and Dalits in the state. In addition to it all, anti-Romeo squads were set up in the state to prevent eve-teasing (harassment of women and girls) which resulted in much controversy.

At least two Christian delegations, one from the Roman Catholic Church and the other from the Protestant groups, paid a ‘courtesy visit’ to the newly elected Chief Minister and he reportedly assured them that “no one will be allowed to take law in their own hands and that the community need not fear in the practice of their faith.”

 

Goa: Over 100 holy crosses and graves in Christian cemetery vandalised

Representative PhotoGoa has witnessed a spate of attacks on religious symbols since the beginning of this month.

Over 100 crosses and plaques at the Guardian Angel Catholic cemetery in south Goa’s Curchorem village, around 45 kilometres from Panaji, were desecrated in the wee hours of Monday.

Inspector general of police Rupinder Kumar said they were looking into the matter and investigating all possibilities in the case. Police also said miscreants damaged the CCTV camera installed at the gate of the cemetery before desecrating the crosses and plaques, leaving no video evidence of the incident.

This is the fourth incident in a month reported from south Goa where religious artefacts or idols have been desecrated.

Reacting to the attacks, chief minister Manohar Parrikar had said specific attempts were being made to create tension in Goa.

“Such acts will not be tolerated. The culprits will be punished once they are caught,” he had said.

Goa police have formed a special team to crack the cases.

It was also announced that the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) and cyber cell will be involved in the investigation

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

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

Pr  15:13  The spirit of  sorrow  which breaks the heart

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Jesus training his disciples

Out of the 12 disciples of Jesus, one was a thief. We do not know whether he was already a thief or he became one  after getting the cash box from the ministry of Jesus. Jesus prayed one whole night before selecting disciples.

He (Judas) ……… was a thief. He was in charge of the moneybag and would steal what was put into it. Jn 12:6 

How did it all start?

Judas was jealous of Jesus and the respect He was getting everywhere. He openly showed it in this incident.

Mary took a pound of very expensive perfume made of pure nard and anointed Jesus' feet. She wiped his feet with her hair, and the house became filled with the fragrance of the perfumeJn 12:3 

Judas  passed a comment.

"Why wasn't this perfume sold for 300 denarii and the money given to the destitute?" Jn 12:5 

He was not happy with the honour and respect people had towards Jesus. He showed it outside in the form of sympathy to the poor. The comment he made showed his  hypocrisy.

Lucifer who wanted to catch supreme power, by  becoming like the “Most High” had entered into Judas  in order to betray Jesus.

In spite of all the failures of the disciples, Jesus never allowed the group to break off, but He rather became a victim to their innocence, foolishness, deceitfulness, irresponsibility and insensitivity.

Jesus succumbed to the ambushes  set by satan through his own disciples.

This is a common phenomena  in ministry even today. Those who work in support with a  ministry, when they become familiar with the work, if they are not careful, the spirit of jealousy enters into them. It may even take a toll of their spiritual life like Judas. When such signs show up, the leader should understand that it is time for them to go on their own calling and take up a new line or another ministry so that there won’t be any friction and brotherly love will not be affected.

Know your Bible (Cont..)

“And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. 2 Kings 19:3”

In May 2014,  a pastor called me over the phone.He was assistant pastor in a big church and God asked him to leave that church. Though it was tough for him he obeyed the instruction of God .He said that when he sat for prayer the Lord showed him Isaiah 19

Accepting this message from this unknown pastor I waited upon the Lord and He spoke to me giving some explanations. THIS THE MESSAGE GIVEN BY THE LORD TO HIS CHILDREN ON THE FUTURE OF INDIA (V. 12-17)

12

Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

Where are those councilors? The Lord challenges us. Can those councilors foresee the future of India and explain it to you now.  Had they waited upon in the Lord’s presence sincerely and taken this advice and instructions they would not have misled the churches.

For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Jer 23:18….

But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. Jer 23:22…..

Instead of turning people from their wicked ways they made them to get established in that.

 

13

The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.

 Those like princes of churches (synod, Committee members, and Council members) turned fools as they weren’t led by the spirit. They made the church leaders go astray, God is angry with them. They held membership in churches for name, fame, position and material benefits but never realized the duties and responsibilities assigned to them

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God             Rm, 8:14

People who were led by the Spirit were either expelled or they themselves left the church. Only those who were not led by the Spirit could be mute spectators and also got satisfied with the ongoing events of the church.

14

The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

This is what God is going to do in churches.

The LORD has poured into them a spirit of dizziness; they make Egypt stagger in all that she does, as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit. 

15

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

Head- Pastor (Chief Pastor, Senior Pastor)

Tail – The new believer who was last baptized

Branch, Rush – Those church members who are between these two

16

In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

The tribulation which is to torment churches will shock everyone.

16

In that day

Upcoming 7 years(2014 -2020)

16

Egypt be like unto women

They will be like cowards unable to speak, do or stand against them

16

And it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

They will fear and tremble when they come to know that this tribulation has been sent by the Lord and His mighty hand is against us.

17

And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the LORD Almighty is planning against them. 

17

The land of Judah

There is a chosen group of people in India (those who are led by Him and do His will). These people will come to light whom the church leaders were not able to recognize all these days

17

Shall be a terror unto Egypt

They will rise with all power; their spiritual power will take the whole of India into astonishment. The Lord will be with them and do amazing and mighty things in those 7 years.

17

Every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

Anyone who comes to know about the power of God revealed in these people will be shocked. The Lord will reveal Himself in them in a never before glory in India. These people who were ordinary and unnoticed will come up from various parts of the country. God will make use of them very powerfully

Behold A Black Horse: Airborne Black Death Epidemic Could 'Explode'

The bubonic plague outbreak that is taking Madagascar to its knees will more than likely last another six months. But the worst news is that the epidemic could explode anytime unleashing the sickness on the globe. At least 128 people have been killed and more than 1,300 infected by the deadlier pneumonic strain of the medieval disease. But the oncoming rainy season could see the number of those infected explode exponentially. The rainy season poses a threat to the containment of the plague because outbreaks of this magnitude often seem to be seasonal. The Foreign Office recently warned that the deadly outbreak is entering its most dangerous phase. Its website said that "outbreaks of plague tend to be seasonal and occur mainly during the rainy season."

The African island's wet season officially began today and will last until the end of April, meaning the downward trend the plague had seen over the past few days, will likely turn upward again. Because the disease can be spread easily through a cough or sneeze, experts are fearful. It would take just one infected traveler who made it to Africa's mainland or even nearby British honeymoon paradises like Mauritius, the Maldives or the Seychelles to spread the disease globally.The Seychelles is currently putting anyone traveling from Madagascar into quarantine on arrival as a precaution.

The outbreak has been fueled by performing the ancient practice of Famadihana. Famadihana is the "dancing with the dead" ritual which sees locals dig up deceased relatives and dance with them before they are reburied.  Just contact with a corpse who's death was because they contracted the plague could sicken a person. The country's health chief Willy Randriamarotia said: "If a person dies of pneumonic plague and is then interred in a tomb that is subsequently opened for a Famadihana, the bacteria can still be transmitted and contaminate whoever handles the body."

The tradition has been banned since the outbreak began, but it is feared ceremonies have taken place regardless as local continue to balk that their rituals have contributed to the outbreak. This latest warning that the rainy season could worsen the outbreak comes on the heels of the reports that British aid workers said the epidemic will get worse before it gets better. Olivier Le Guillou of Action Against Hunger said: "The epidemic is ahead of us, we have not yet reached the peak." As many as 50 aid workers are believed to have been among the 1,200 people infected with the more dangerous airborne pneumonic strain of the disease.

Hindu Extremists Beat Pastor Unconscious in Southern India after 'Miraculous' Conversions

Weeks after a pastor led five families to faith in Christ in southern India, masked men on motorbikes intercepted him on his way home from worship and tried to kill him, sources said. Pastor Banothu Sevya, 26, was in a coma for 48 hours after the drunken Hindu extremists beat him in Govindapuram, on the outskirts of Jamandlapalli village in Telangana state, last month. They had threatened him twice before, he said. “But I didn’t pay attention, knowing that when the Lord’s work is taken up, there will be hurdles, and I never complained the police officials,” Pastor Sevya told Morning Star News.

In their prior threats, the assailants had accused him of fraudulent or forcible conversion, asking how he lured Banjara tribal people and what he told them, he said. “I told them, ‘I only share the gospel, that we are all sinners, and this world is to come to an end some day. Only Jesus Christ can cleanse us from the sins. He was crucified for our sake, and rose again to present us eternal life. I ask them if there is life in the rocks, trees and water – why worship them?’” Pastor Sevya said he told them he spoke to every person individually when they came to ask him about Christ.

“Most Banjaras say they get afflicted by evil spirits,” he said. “They want them to be sent away. Some want to be healed, some need the Lord’s help in their pursuits to get educated. I share the gospel and pray for them. We witnessed the Lord doing miracles among them. He does not forsake anyone who comes to Him.” Pastor Sevya first preached Christ in Jangi Thanda, a village in Govindapuram, at the request of a relative. When five families came to Christ, he had been as astonished as anyone.

“I too belong to the same Banjara tribal community, and it is not possible by human strength to separate them from idolatry – they have a number of gods enshrined in rocks, trees, water and the like,” he said. “The five families left everything behind and have been walking in the Light since they invited Jesus Christ into their hearts. It is a miracle.”

The pastor said he was alive only by the grace of God. “I forgive the youth who attacked, and I am praying for them,” he said. India ranked 15th on Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2017 World Watch List of the countries where Christians experience the most persecution.

 

Scientists: Existence of the Universe Defies Physics

According to the laws of physics, the universe should have annihilated itself as soon as it came into existence.

Evolutionary scientists who adhere to the Big Bang theory argue that only energy existed in the beginning, then, as the universe expanded, some of the energy transformed into matter. When energy converts to matter, the reaction always creates an equal amount of antimatter, particles with a charge opposite their counterpart. So, for example, a proton of matter has a positive charge and a proton of antimatter, an antiproton, has a negative charge. But, since opposites attract, if equal amounts of matter and antimatter existed in the very beginning, they would have obliterated each other.

Earlier this year, scientists for the first time developed a way to measure antimatter, a discovery they hoped would enable future researchers to solve the mystery of how the universe survived. Experts think some difference, some asymmetry, between matter and antimatter must exist that protected the two from a fatal attraction in the beginning. They have checked out numerous possibilities so far, including shape and mass, but found no differences. In the latest study, researchers at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, or CERN) in Switzerland investigated magnetism and, once again, came up empty-handed. “All of our observations find a complete symmetry between matter and antimatter, which is why the universe should not actually exist,” Christian Smorra, author of the CERN study, told the Independent of London.

But the enigma doesn’t surprise Brian Miller, research coordinator for the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture. It is just another example of the razor-edge fine-tuning all around us that points to the existence of a creator, he told me.

“The fact that all the details are just right for life when almost any other set of laws of physics would have produced a universe that couldn’t support life strongly suggests that there is a creator who designed those laws specifically with life in mind,” Miller said.

 

Are Christians the Most Persecuted Faith on Earth?

Sunday is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Why do we need such a day?

According to the evangelical group Open Doors, one hundred million Christians face interrogation, arrest, torture, and/or death because of their religious convictions. Todd Johnson of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary documents that one hundred thousand Christians, eleven per hour, have been killed on average every year of the past decade. The Catholic humanitarian group Aid to the Church in Need describes this global assault on believers as “a human rights disaster of epic proportions.”

While 30 percent of the world’s population identifies as Christian, 80 percent of all acts of religious discrimination around the world are directed at Christians. One scholar estimates that 90 percent of all people killed on the basis of their religious beliefs are Christians.

Terrorist attacks against Christians escalated 309 percent between 2003 and 2010. There have been seventy million martyrs since the time of Christ, forty-five million of them in the twentieth century. In other words, more Christians died for their faith in the last century than in the previous nineteen centuries combined.

Persecution and Islam

Persecution against Christians is especially prevalent in the Muslim world. According to Newsweek, “In recent years the violent oppression of Christian minorities has become the norm in Muslim-majority nations stretching from West Africa and the Middle East to South Asia and Oceania. In some countries it is governments and their agents that have burned churches and imprisoned parishioners. In others, rebel groups and vigilantes have taken matters into their own hands, murdering Christians and driving them from regions where their roots go back centuries.”

Types of persecution

John Allen cites the Barnabas Fund, a UK-based international body formed to support persecuted Christians. The Fund lists ten forms of aggression against Christians, in ascending order of ferocity:

  1. Social discrimination, such as pressure on a Christian woman to convert to Islam if she marries a Muslim.
  1. Institutional discrimination, such as difficulties obtaining building permits to construct or repair Christian churches.
  1. Employment discrimination, such as bias against Copts in the Egyptian military and public sectors.
  1. Legal discrimination: denying Christians and other religious groups access to the courts, legal representation, or action by police when they are attacked.
  1. Suppression of Christian missionary activity, as in Iran, where missionaries are routinely arrested and deported or incarcerated.
  1. Suppression of conversion to Christianity, usually through “blasphemy” or “apostasy” laws. Nearly half the countries in the world have laws that criminalize apostasy, blasphemy, or defamation of religion.
  1. Forced conversion from Christianity, sometimes involving “reconversion” ceremonies where Christians are made to embrace the religion they left for Christ.
  1. Suppression of corporate worship, as when authorities in China or Saudi Arabia raid house churches.
  1. Violence against individuals, the most common and most lethal form of the global war on Christians.
  1. Community oppression, when entire churches or faith groups are attacked.

What can we do?

If a member of your family was under attack today, what would you do? Apply your answer to your global Christian family as you consider three imperatives.

First, we must pray. Intercede for your persecuted sisters and brothers, “making supplication for all the saints” (Ephesians 6:18). Pray for their oppressors as well: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44).

Second, we must tell their story. For resources that will help you and your church stand with persecuted Christians, click here and here. For resources focused on Texas churches, I recommend the “Speak Freedom Texas” initiative.

Third, we must follow their example. Knowing that our sisters and brothers are facing torture and death for our Lord, what price will we pay for our faith?

When last did it cost you something significant to follow Jesus?

 

‘Shocking Behavior’: Only 1.5 Percent of Syrian Christians Accepted into Western Nations

Only 1.5 percent of Syrian refugees granted refugee status by Western countries in 2016 were Christians. The charity Barnabas Fund said the United Nations has “failed miserably” to protect those refugees— of which many are Christians. "This is shocking behavior by the U.N. and U.K. officials," said Barnabas Fund's Martin Parsons in an interview with Express.

"In 2005 the U.N. adopted the responsibility of states to protect citizens from genocide and crimes against humanity. These statistics show that it has failed miserably in this. Christians and other minorities have been treated shamefully by the U.N. And the U.K. has outsourced its own responsibilities in spite of repeated representations."

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  12:18  The spirit which makes one speak like the piercings of a sword

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Engaged in Father’s business

Kevin, a boy aged 12 was narrating his spiritual experiences in the last BFF, “During worship we were standing and singing. All of a sudden a thought came to me, ‘my dad cannot stand for long. Let me get a chair for dad and make him sit. When I did it, I was so happy and could continue the worship. Then the Holy Spirit led me into a flow of thoughts like this:

“If   I am concerned about my earthly father this much, how much I should be concerned about my Heavenly Father and His Kingdom?”

At the age of 12, an incident happened in boy Jesus’ life.

“When Jesus' parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!" He asked them, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be in my Father's house?" Luk 2:48-49

His parents did not understand what He said. Today some of the  parents do not understand how the Lord is using their children for His work. They compare their children either with their own brought  up or with the doctrines they are taught in the  false institutional  churches. We are living in a time when the Lord is filling  all the vessels which are surrendered  to  Him. If parents want to guide their children in the proper way, they themselves should become a new creation, walk in the newness of life, and  be led by the spirit every day. Parents! Come out of the old doctrines you have learned in the institutional churches, long to get the guidance each day from the Lord. When the Lord fills you with the Holy Spirit you will become a living fountain. The wineskins (hearts) should be filled up every day during personal prayer and ready for pouring out.

“Because I'm filled with things to say, and my spirit within me compels me to speak. My insides feel like unvented wine, like it's about to burst like a new wineskin. Job 32:18-19 

Am I ready to be poured out every day?

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”.

ATCH: Bible Codes Confirm Shocking NASA Discovery of Planet X Is Nibiru

“He reckoned the number of the stars; to each He gave its name.” Psalms 147:4 (The Israel Bible™)

The recent NASA discovery of the fabled Planet X was accompanied by a parallel revelation from a Bible codes expert who found hidden clues in the Bible that the planet is indeed Nibiru, sent by God as a pre-Messianic warning to the world: repent. The Bible codes even went so far as to suggest that recent atmospheric and geologic upheavals, such as massive hurricanes and earthquakes, are connected to this discovery. After years of debunking and denying the existence of Planet X, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced two weeks ago that researchers at Caltech had found evidence of a still-unseen ninth planet. The scientists theorized that in order to account for anomalies in the orbits of other smaller objects, a planetary body ten times the size of the Earth must exist. They believe it has a radical elliptical orbit that takes it as far away as 60 billion miles from the sun, requiring 10,000-20,000 Earth years for one complete orbit.

This new discovery seems to conform to the predictions of Nibiru, a large planetary object that many believe will collide with the earth. The Nibiru theory is so prevalent and the similarities to the Caltech discovery so striking that NASA went to the trouble of denying any connection between Planet X and Nibiru. The scientific community believes is a hoax, and NASA has frequently published articles debunking Nibiru. In a video he produced about the NASA discovery, Bible codes expert Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson stated that not only is the new discovery indeed the planet Nibiru, but it has come at this specific time in order to usher in the Messianic era, bringing with it many of the prophesied pre-Messianic natural disasters.

Using a special computer program that arranges the letters of the Bible in a grid and searches for letters at specific intervals, Rabbi Glazerson found the word ‘Nibiru’ in the section of Exodus dealing with the Golden Calf. The Bible code program revealed ‘the Star Nibiru’ directly adjacent to the word ‘Moshiach’ (Messiah). Remarkably, the last letter of the word Moshiach was part of a group of letters designating this year in the Hebrew calendar: 5778.

In the same section of the Bible, Rabbi Glazerson found the word ‘hatra’ah’ (warning). “This is a message to the entire world,” Rabbi Glazerson said in the video. “Nibiru is to warn the world to do teshuva (repentance). Not only Israel, but also the world has to repent by observing the seven Noahide Laws.”

In a separate search, Rabbi Glazerson also found the word ‘Nibiru’ in a section of the book of Numbers, describing how the false prophet Balaam was sent to curse the nation of Israel but blessed them instead. What I see for them is not yet, What I behold will not be soon: A star rises from Yaakov, A scepter comes forth from Yisrael; It smashes the brow of Moab, The foundation of all children of ShetNumbers 24:17

In this code, the word ‘Nibiru’ intersected with the Hebrew word ‘karov’ (soon). Rabbi Glazerson emphasized that Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, known by the acronym Rambam, the foremost Torah authority of the 12th century, cited this verse as being the source in the Torah for the Messiah. “These are the days before the Messiah, and those who are creating trouble for the Jews, the Arabs and Edom, will have to pay for it,” Rabbi Glazerson said. “All the natural troubles that are happening now, the hurricanes, fires and earthquakes, could be the effect of this star. We really don’t know.” Rabbi Glazerson emphasized the importance of this message. “We are praying that Messiah will come, so that he will save us from all the threats that we are experiencing at this time,” he concluded.

New Discoveries in Jerusalem Point to Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecies                

Jonathan Feldstein, an Orthodox Jew living in Israel, says visitors must experience the City of David and see the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy. In Isaiah, he said, "Therefore, thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, no build a siege ramp against it." The prophecy was made true as archaeologists have not found any Assyrian arrows— only arrows from the Babylonian and Roman periods. “It was awesome seeing actual spots at which biblical kings were anointed, where King David spotted Bathsheba bathing, and where pilgrims prepared to ascend to the temple, providing a vivid depiction and understanding that's unparalleled and transforming,” Feldstein said in a column for CharismaNews.com.

Feldstein, who lives just 15 minutes from Jerusalem, but rarely is able to appreciate the city, said he learned on his visit that “there is no more significant place in Jerusalem” that the City of David. “It underscores 3000 years of unbreakable Jewish history as well as the foundation on which Christianity was born,” he said. Feldstein participated in a Jerusalem Watch tour, a daytime tour about ancient Jerusalem, and the “Halleluyah” program, a nighttime presentation on Jerusalem’s history. “As I emerged from a hefty hike ascending through an ancient drainage tunnel from the bottom of the City of David until almost the point where it reaches the Temple Mount, I was refreshed by a cool breeze,” he said. “But I was chilled by the realization that in this same place, the breeze that felt so good to me was the same breeze that David himself felt sitting in the exact same location.

Egypt’s Christians Appeal for Help after Churches are Forced to Close

Egypt has been one of the worst places for Christian persecution in recent months. A series of attacks targeting Christians and forced closures of churches have caused Egypt’s Christian population to call on authorities for help. “We have kept quiet for two weeks after the closure of one of the churches, but due to our silence the situation has worsened ... it is as if prayer is a crime the Copts must be punished for,” said a statement released by the Minya diocese in southern Egypt. Two churches were reportedly shut down by authorities in Minya and another church was closed after rumors of an attack surfaced. No attack occurred, but the church has remained closed. Egypt’s Christians are known as Copts and have been in the region since ancient times. According to ChristianToday.com, Copts make up 10 percent of Egypt’s population of 95 million people. Many Copts feel that the government does not take adequate steps to protect them from discrimination. Egypt’s president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has vowed to combat Islamic extremism in the country and declared a three-month state of emergency after two massive church bombings rocked the nation, and particularly the Christian community, last April.

 

Hungary Steps Up to Fight Christian Persecution

Under Prime Minister Victor Orban’s leadership, Hungary is taking the lead in helping persecuted Middle Eastern Christians. At a government-sponsored conference this month on the topic, Orban reminded attendees that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. While condemning all persecution of Christians, Orban focused on regions where violence and genocide caused the “forced expulsion” of millions of Middle Eastern and African Christians in recent years. “The greatest danger we face today is the indifferent, apathetic silence of a Europe which denies its Christian roots,” Orban said. There is “no excuse for Hungarians not taking action and not honoring the obligation rooted in their Christian faith,” he added.

A little more than half of Hungary’s population identifies as Christian even after Soviet-era repression, according to the CIA World Factbook. Advocates, religious leaders, and political officials from 30 countries discussed how to solve the Christian persecution crisis at the Budapest event, according to the National Catholic Register. Orban argued for helping Christians return to their homelands and said Hungary was giving directly to churches in those nations rather than through “customary” channels like the UN. That approach isn’t universally supported.
Hungary created a deputy state secretariat for the aid of persecuted Christians in 2016. The nation has spent millions of euros on Iraq reconstruction and a scholarship program to bring Catholic students to study in Hungary. Many leaders thanked Hungary for its help, including Chaldean Patriarch Louis Sako of Baghdad, who sent a message to the conference. Sako called on other countries to do more to meet the educational, security, and humanitarian needs of persecuted Christians, the Register reported.

Two Pastors in Burma Sentenced to Prison

The two ethnic Kachin pastors, members of the Kachin Baptist Convention, were charged under the Unlawful Association Act for alleged connections with an ethnic armed group, the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), and allegedly spying for it. Nawng Latt was prosecuted under a defamation statute. They deny the charges, which colleagues say are baseless. The Burma army arrested them on Dec. 24, 2016 when they went to Byuha Gone military base to negotiate release of a civilian couple who had complained to army officials about the destruction of their house, source said. They were held for months without trial, though suspects are supposed to be tried after no more than 28 days in Burma, sources said. Armed conflict between Burma and ethnic armed organizations erupted anew in northern Shan state in November 2016, forcing over 50,000 refugees in total to flee to other areas of the state and the border with China. Burma is about 80 percent Buddhist and 9 percent Christian. The government has recognized the special status of Buddhism in Burma

Appearance of horses

In the city of Chennai and in Tamil Nadu, the Lord is doing mighty things these days. Even in the month of May the Lord had revealed that from the month of October the Lord will visit Tamil Nadu and India . He sends His soldiers throughout the nation.

“The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.  Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains .They leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.” Joe 2:4 -10 

In Coimbatore 30 prayer halls are being closed in one day. In the year 2010, the Lord had  given a command to the Church leaders,

“Hereafter, not a pie should be invested in constructing Church buildings and Churches should not have an inch of land of their own”. The reason also was revealed. All this will be taken away or burnt down.”

It has started happening now!

Church is not a building, it is the people who are called out to be His own! Instead of constructing beautiful buildings, we should have built up human beings! Human beings are the temple of God! We should worship the Lord in the holy temple of our hearts! Yes all the buildings we have constructed  in the name  of Jesus will be demolished. All the lands we have acquired in the name of Jesus will be confiscated. After that only the real Church i.e. you and me, will start shining.! Let that day come soon in India!

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 19 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.

Know your Bible

“And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.2 Kings 19:3”

In May 2014,  a pastor called me over the phone.He was assistant pastor in a big church and God asked him to leave that church. Though it was tough for him he obeyed the instruction of God .He said that when he sat for prayer the Lord showed him Isaiah 19

Accepting this message from this unknown pastor I waited upon the Lord and He spoke to me giving some explanations.

THIS THE MESSAGE GIVEN BY THE LORD TO HIS CHILDREN ON THE FUTURE OF INDIA (V. 5-10)

And the waters shall fail from the sea,

The anointing which was like a huge bubbling ocean has drained

And the river shall be wasted and dried up.

The River – Churches. The anointed which was in the churches will also drain out

And they shall turn the rivers far away

Rivers – Gospel Ministries, FMPB, World Vision, Tracts, TV Ministries, Book Ministries funded by foreigners will be diverted to other countries

And the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

Will be reduced to nothing due to fund shortage, Buildings will turn deserted with wild plants in them and ultimately show up like rubbles and ruins. There will be no progress of work in these devastated buildings. The Lord reminds us that he proclaimed an ordinance between 2010 and 2013   in which he clearly commanded us not to build any churches and also not to invest any money in immovable assets

The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks

Ministries which partnered with Church Ministries which were sponsored and organized by churches - Ladies ministry, Youth ministry, Fasting prayer, VBS, Sunday Classes

Be driven away, and be no more.

 The seeds sown by building churches and ministries in and around

Will blow away and be no more

Due to inadequate follow up it will dry out, turn useless and be carried away by wind like chaff

The fishers

Pastors

Also shall mourn

People will gasp  in astonishment saying “ Such things had happened”  and get clueless on what to do

And all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament

People who cast their nets in river waters – These people were the ones sent by pastors to minister for the Lord. They will groan in sorrow

And they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish

People who organize crusades and missionary projects will get fed up, People will get sick and tired of Meetings and projects getting booked and cancelled again and again

Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

Religious articles, dresses, verse boards, key chains, table verse boards, flex, vinyl hoardings, (based on verses) gloves etc. Other decorative caps, clothes used for worship services 

People who make dresses, articles and other stuffs required for Worship, Bread Breaking and spiritual functions will feel ashamed of their profession which they have been doing all these days

And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.

Bible Colleges, Seminaries

And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof

People who take financial assistance from countries like, USA, UK and Korea to run Bible Colleges and Seminaries in India

Shall be broken

They will turn futile and inactive

Family Looks for Answers after Christian Boy Beaten to Death in Pakistan

On their son’s third day of high school, the parents of 17-year-old Sharoon Masih learned that he had been in a fight, had suffered a serious injury, and been taken to the hospital. They rushed to the hospital and there found him dead. “The boys from his class who had brought him there told us that he died in the classroom,” said his mother, Razia Bibi, a Christian woman in a predominantly Muslim country.

Police said that on Aug. 27 another student at the school — in Punjab, Pakistan’s most populous province — kicked Sharoon in the stomach and that he died of internal injuries. The student charged in his death now awaits trial, but police are not calling the attack a hate crime. However, many Christian Pakistanis, who make up less than two percent of the country’s population, suspect the teenager was targeted because of his religion. Christians, they say, are often forced to occupy the lowest rungs of the social ladder, and are regularly discriminated against in education, employment and housing. Advocates for Christians in Pakistan note that another Christian boy was killed violently this year: On Oct. 9, police killed a 14-year-old Christian boy in an incident still under investigation. Pakistan is fourth on the list of 50 countries that the U.S.-based nonprofit Open Doors — which advocates for persecuted Christians — lists as the most difficult in which to be a Christian.

Asif Aqeel, a Pakistani journalist and advocate for the rights of religious minorities, said discrimination against Christians is so blatant that some government advertisements for janitorial jobs state that only non-Muslims should apply. Aqeel said that a disproportionate number of Christians work as cleaners in government offices.

 

Missouri Satanist Challenges Pro-Life Laws as ‘Religious Tenets’

Pro-abortion activists have adopted a new legal strategy against pro-life laws in Missouri, challenging them as violations of religious liberty protections. In 2016, a self-avowed Satanist sued the state, claiming its abortion regulations are “religious tenets” and therefore a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Missouri’s Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA). The case now heads to the state’s Supreme Court for what could be a final decision.

 

North Korean Defector Shares Horrors of Living under Kim Jong-un’s Regime

A North Korean refugee said that children and infants are “dying without hope” in the country. Grace Jo, 26, is now studying at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland, but the woman said in an interview this week with Fox News that the world must try to end Kim Jong-un’s regime. Grace Jo and her family escaped three times to China, but each time the family was captured and taken back to North Korea.

"Please kindly be reminded that a large number of underground Christians are within North Korea. They are the most persecuted religious group in the world, according to international religious freedom watchdogs groups. As I pray your team accepts upon deep reflection, it would be decidedly un-Christian to countenance indiscriminate killings of those who are among the people in the world who suffer the most," Park wrote in an open letter to President Donald Trump earlier this month.

 

Two Christians Hospitalized in Critical Condition After Brutal Assault on Church in India

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Christians attending a worship service in Jaripara village, located in the Dantewada District of India's Chhattisgarh State, were brutally assaulted by suspected Hindu radicals on Sunday, October 15. According to witnesses, a mob of more than 300 attacked the Bastar for Christ Movement (BCM) Church and beat the congregants, leaving nine seriously injured, including two in critical condition at the government hospital in Dantewada. According to witnesses, more than 300 people encircled the BCM Church around noon on October 15 as a worship service was being conducted. The mob then disrupted the service, dragging Christian worshipers out of the church and into the street. There, the mob ordered the Christians to renounce their faith. When the Christians refused, the mob attacked and beat the Christians with sticks and slippers. Christian women were stripped by the mob and even Christian children were not spared. The mob then vandalized the BCM Church and set fire to the church's furniture.

Local police refused to file a First Information Report (FIR) when the Christians contacted the police. According to local Christians, Hindu radicals had filed an FIR on the Christians prior to the attack. Jaripara's Christians had to protest for more than 24 hours to have police accept their complaint about the brutal attack and it remains doubtful that local police will bring the perpetrators to justice.

 

Will Church School be Forced to Ban Bible, Crosses, and Religious Assembly?

Parents of students at a church school in England have issued complaints leading to a decision by the school to ban a Christian charity. According to ChristianToday.com, St. John’s Church of England Primary School in Tunbridge Wells is now also considering banning crosses, Bibles, and the presence of Church of England clergy at school assemblies. The school has already banned CrossTeach, a Christian charity, whose members interacted with students and allegedly told them that “men can’t marry men” and that “they would not go to a good place when they died” if they did not believe in God.  “This dispute in Tunbridge Wells is highlighting the inability of both our government and the Church of England to effectively preserve freedom of religion and diversity. As the bullies are allowed to have their way, all suffer,” said Sanlon.

 

Though ISIS is Losing Ground, War May be Lost if Christians Can’t Return Home

A Catholic charity has said that despite victories against the Islamic State terror group, unless world leaders make a change, ISIS may still destroy the Christian population in Iraq and Syria. "We have seen drastic reductions in the Christian populations in many nations in the Middle East. Iraq might very well have lost 80 percent of their native Christian people," Edward Clancy, ACNUSA director of outreach, told The Christian Post in an email interview on Wednesday. "Syria might have lost 50 percent. This is compounded by the fact that Christian families have not been secure enough to have many children. The loss of population and the very low birth rate will put great pressure on the Christian communities. "If we do not help these ancient Christian communities, ISIS might very well have lost the battles but won the war."

"Our solace is knowing that whenever Christians have faced terrible odds, great miracles have happened. Christianity has survived and endured, but we needn't wait for miracles. We can act. We can help. We should do both." Middle East church leaders said they feel “forgotten” by the international community. "They need our help. It is more than just guaranteeing property rights for returning families. The security of their communities is a major issue. It is about leaders not being afraid to say that these Christians belong in their ancestral towns and that they deserve to be supported and protected," Clancy said.

 

Will Christians in America Face More Persecution?

 A New Jersey teacher was suspended for giving a student a Bible. A football coach was placed on leave for praying on the field. The Atlanta fire chief was fired for self-publishing a book defending Christian morality. A Marine was court-martialed for refusing to remove a Bible verse on her desk. A senator castigated a political nominee for his evangelical theology. Christian groups like InterVarsity Christian Fellowship have been expelled from college campuses. It’s hard for evangelical Christians not to feel that our culture is increasingly antagonistic toward our faith and values today.

Obviously, American Christians should not compare the opposition we face with the persecution being suffered in countries such as North Korea, Somalia, and Iraq. But Mary Eberstadt is right: “Something new has snaked its way into the village square: an insidious intolerance for religion that has no place in a country founded on religious freedom.” How should we respond?

God wants his people to work for the common good regardless of how society treats us. He instructed his people exiled in Babylon to “seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf” (Jeremiah 29:7). The apostles led a movement that met physical, social, and spiritual needs so effectively that they won “favor with all the people” (Acts 2:47).

Conversely, one of the ways God redeems persecution is by using it to remind us that this world is not our home: “Here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come” (Hebrews 13:14). We are “sojourners and exiles” in this fallen world (1 Peter 2:11), knowing that this life is a journey and heaven is our destination. Paul called his ministry team “ambassadors for Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:20). He courageously advanced the agenda of his King in distant lands while preparing every day to return home.

 

China: House Church Leader, Daughter, and Grandson Arrested for Sharing Faith in Public

China continues its crackdown on Christians. In the most recent report of persecution, a Chinese house church pastor, her daughter, and her grandson were arrested for expressing and sharing their faith in public. Their exact whereabouts following the arrest are unknown. Xu had previously had a run-in with authorities when her house church was seized by officials and placed under the supervision of China’s state-run Three-Self Patriotic Movement church. China’s government under President Xi Jinping recently added new religious regulations which restrict religious expression to an even greater extent.

“The new religion regulations are sweeping in scope and, if fully enforced, could mean major changes for China’s unregistered church, not only in its worship and meeting practices, but also engagement in areas such as Christian education, media, and interaction with the global church,” wrote China Source president Brent Fulton.

Christians Reclaiming Education For The Next Generation

Throughout history, Christians have been at the cutting edge of education. It's time to reclaim that tradition. As stories pile up of public schools teaching first-graders it's normal to have two mommies or two daddies or hosting "coming out" events for transgender students, one might sympathize with the urgency many parents feel to get their kids out of "government schools."

But for some, such as those lacking the time and resources for private schools or homeschooling, the options are limited. And let me be clear: There are many good public schools and many dedicated Christian teachers in those schools who deserve our support. But it's also clear that current trends don't bode well for public education in America. So perhaps it's time for the historic Christian commitment to creativity in education to make a comeback.  And we ought be clear on this point as Christians: no matter what we use among the public, private, homeschool or hybrid options, ultimately the education of our children is a parental responsibility--one that we cannot outsource. This is no time for guilt-tripping or judgment. Rather, we've got to build on this momentum, and join the long tradition of Christians educating the next generation with excellence, even if in less-than-ideal circumstances.

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  24:9  The spirit which makes one  devise  foolishness 

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Leaping over walls

To Joseph  promise was given that he will climb over walls.

“Joseph is descended from a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine planted near springs of water. His branches climb over walls". Gen 49:22

David said, "With your help I will run through an army, with help from my God I leap over walls." Psa 18:29

01Climbing over walls and leaping over walls both are same i.e. trying to cross boundaries.

Religion, religious rituals, society,  friends, traditions and your  profession everything may try to limit you put boundaries around you.

One thing the  Lord abhors is "Limiting Him".

"Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel." Hence the Lord was angry with them.  Ps 78:41

Never limit Jesus whom are  carrying!. He is capable to take you  beyond all the  boundaries you can imagine.

Don't make negative confessions with your tongue ,

"I want to do but ....is limiting me."

Nothing, nobody, no devil can limit you.  Allow Jesus to take control of you and  use you.

Know your Bible

Anything more than that comes from evil one

The one Yes, He said to His Father, was Yes forever

The one   No He said to satan was No forever.

When Jesus said “Yes to His Father”, He agreed to

Be born in a manger as a sojourner

Be a burden  to His mother and Joseph since they had to flee many times to save the child from the wrath of the kings

Live as a carpenter on this earth for 30 years

Be an insignificant person  for 30 years

Reveal himself to the Jewish society  at the age of 30 by  taking baptism

To be an illiterate on this earth

To be the victim of target for the religious heads of the Jews

To be nicknamed as “possessed” “insane” etc

To be handed over to the Roman Governor Pilate, as a traitor who called himself  “ king”

To be ill treated by the Roman soldiers

To be spit up on face

To be stripped of the clothes and to be crucified on the cross naked

To accept and train 12 uneducated men as disciples

To be betrayed by one among them

To be deserted by all at the end

To oppose vehemently all the wrong practices of the religious leaders

To be identified with the poor of the society

To be left out in the society, to the extent of not having even a tomb to bury the body  .

The one “No”He said to His Father,  had thousands of “no”inside it.

It was no

To become the king of Israel when it was offered freely , even  imposed upon;

To do miracles in order to prove his identity and divinity 

To escape and safeguard himself when threatened

To  enter into the hall of fame of the world  by divine power

To compromise with the religious practices of the contemporary society

To defend  Himself in the court taking the high risk of endangering  life 

To receive glory from human beings

To identify Himself with the religious leaders in spite of being an authoritative teacher

 

Jesus had no regrets in having said “Yes” to His Heavenly Father  and “No” to this world.

He boldly came forward to face all the consequences of His “Yes”. He did not change it to “No”

One young boy  possessed by an evil spirit  came for our training .. He was tormented by a serpent spirit, which made him swirl on the ground like a serpent. 5 days he was under the spell of the serpent after which he was delivered completely by the power of Jesus Christ. He wanted to attend the next one  month course also. While doing so, a few of his companions were on fast. He too wanted  to  fast. But knowing his weakness the coordinator discouraged him from full fasting  and asked him to go without one meal a day. He insisted on eating only one meal , i.e. supper. Next day, somebody brought cooked fish curry  for the trainees. He fell into  temptation, forgot his promise and sat to eat.  When he looked at the coordinator, he felt ashamed of his promise  to God.  Since he was a babe, he could not keep up his promise, given to God.

Since Jesus was conversing with His Father every day, He grew in strength. No human beings needed to teach Him anything.   

The Heavenly Father used to teach Jesus everyday what Jesus should do.

“It is written in the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.” Jn 6:45 

Only those who are admitted to the school of the Heavenly Father, can come to Jesus Christ. Those who learn at the feet of the  Heavenly Father, will have the boldness and courage to stand all the trials and tribulations of life.

Soldiers, if you have to fight a sincere fight in this world against satan and his kingdom, you have to sit at the feet of the Father at least 2 hours per day. You will be taught by the Holy Spirit.

“As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him”. 1 Jn 2:27 

When I started sharing the “Vision about India”  and “Vision about Model Church” which the Lord revealed in 2006, almost all the pastors and Church heads received it, accepted it and said “yes” to  implement the strategies. But the actual result was very poor. Since I had no hold or authority over them to question, I placed this burden in prayer. Then the Lord told me,

“As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from Yahweh.’ 

They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain. Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.  “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” Eze 33:30 -33

 

Then in 2010 the Lord declared an “Emergency Period” for the Church in India and gave very strict rules and regulations for its day to day administration. Some of them were

Nobody should construct  buildings  for Churches hereafter.  Even those which are being built should be stopped immediately.

Hereafter nobody should buy lands for constructing Church buildings

For the next 4 years (2010-2013) no festivals, unnecessary expenditure in the Churches; For marriages etc. Minimum rate should be fixed. All the money which were supposed to be spent on these should be thrown into the villages of North India for evangelizing the country. A great unprecedented famine is going to come. Church should be ready to face it. 20% of the believers should be set apart from the Church, trained as Hill Horses and sent to the work places” .

When I started sharing all these, the Church Leaders who said “Yes” to the visions thus far, started telling “No” and turned against   me, saying

 “Don’t preach anymore. . You are against us”.

Even started adopting certain measures so that  these prophecies go unheard of among the believers. Today many of the believers do not even know why the persecution for Christians has come in India. Because the Church leaders as the Lord said, were building their own empires and they turned a deaf year to the warnings of the Lord. Like Jericho, the Church leaders closed the doors tightly so that believers  do not come to now about the prophetic warnings the Lord gave to the Indian Church from 2006 onwards. The Lord is righteous. He made all His strategies known to His Church systematically from 2006 onwards. Those who were in the Lord’s Church were alerted and admonished at the proper time.

Those who were in the wrong Church (of human leaders) were  unaware of all these warnings  given to the Church.   Even at this last moment if they run out of the Institutional Pyramid shaped one man Church , and surrender to start “Troop Churches” (small independent house Churches of 10 members) they will escape the wrath of God.

Till today, no single pastor  has come forward to drop the authority over his members. They consider themselves  owners of the flock which Jesus Christ has saved. They lord over the flock and  control believers’ faith. Paul clearly says, it is wrong.

“Not that we control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith”. 2 Co 1:24 

The Holy Spirit is the only controller of anybody’s faith. The Lord is teaching us the  principle for the  past 20 years by thousands of signs and miracles. We learned this difficult lesson through hard  practical experiences and so take utmost care  not to  impose  ourselves in any way on any  believer.

May the Lord forgive our faults whatsoever! We are grateful to Him for  teaching us this difficult theory and guiding us! The Indian Church will learn this difficult theory by undergoing severe tests and tribulations! Lord! teach us thy ways!

Bones, Skeletons & Zombies come alive: Prophetic Halloween before our eyes

The Valley of Dry Bones

We are now in the time of year where the stores are full of costumes of the dead, of spirits, of witches and the like. Yes, Halloween is coming and for many it’s the time to have cheeky fun at parties with role-plays or costumes of skeletons coming to life, or dead bodies walking around, all in good fun. Michael Jackson’s Thriller will be played, watched and danced to around the globe, because it’s perfect for Halloween.

But long before Thriller was conceived, and even long before Halloween itself was celebrated, an eccentric man penned some vivid images that fit perfectly for Halloween of today. One can’t help but wonder if Michael Jackson had not read these lines as he  choreographed Thriller – yet they were written about 2500 years ago!

The Valley of Dry Bones (with skeletons and corpses too)

This eccentric man was given a tour in a valley ‘filled with bones’. Read how he described it:

… the bones covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. … Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as complete skeletons. Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them…. Then he said … “Come, O breath, from the four winds” … They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.

A man whisked away to a valley full of bones which start to rattle and hum as they join together forming skeletons … and then dead flesh and skin starts to envelope the lifeless skeletons so that they become corpses. Then the wind blows wildly from all directions and the bodies all come to life and they stand up to become a great army.

This sounds like a script from a horror movie ready to open up at Halloween!

The Valley of Dry Bones – the Eternal Spirit’s prophetic message through Ezekiel

But the man who wrote this script was not interested in sending shivers down our spines. He was engaged in something much more serious. He claimed that this script was a message from God Himself. And remarkably, the events of history have played out such that this message was meant for us who are living today! How so?

The man in question is Ezekiel who lived ca. 550 BC and along with this vision (from Ezekiel 37 – read complete chapter here) he explicitly provided its meaning. He wrote:

Then [God] said to me, “… these bones represent the people of Israel. … I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel…. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done what I said. Yes, the LORD has spoken!’”

… I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. I will unify them into one nation on the mountains of Israel. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations or into two kingdoms. They will never again pollute themselves with their idols and vile images and rebellion, for I will save them from their sinful backsliding. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God. (Ezekiel 37:11-23)

In other words these bones that Ezekiel saw in a vision 2500 years ago represented the Jewish people. This is not my interpretation – Ezekiel explicitly said so himself. When Ezekiel wrote these words the Jews had previously been divided into two political nations but had now gone into exile to Babylon as a conquered and ruined people. Just as every bone, by definition, has previously been a living organ in a living body, but is now ‘dead’, the Jews of that day saw themselves as formerly alive but now ‘dead bones’. Then Ezekiel had this vision of their eventual return to life. The Jews in his day did return from the Babylonian exile a few decades after his vision, but he was not writing of that since it was a return only from Babylon, and they returned only as a province dominated within a vast Empire. They did not come alive as a nation.

The Return of the Jews

In his vision Ezekiel foresaw a return from the ‘nations’ and ‘places where they had been scattered’ back to that same land that they had been ejected from, where they would be ‘one nation’ with their own ‘king’ or ruler. That did not happen until thousands of years later when the modern state of Israel was forged from a United Nations resolution in 1948. Only then did the Jews finally get a self-governing nation with their own ruler. In the intervening decades Jews have literally been returning (which they call aliyah) from ‘nations’ all over the world where they have lived since being sent into their second exile beginning when the Romans conquered Jerusalem in 70 AD. Since 1948 more than 3 million Jews from over 90 countries (which is almost half of all the countries in the world) have arrived in Israel. For a nation of 7 million people, having 40% of the population immigrate from almost half the countries of our globe in the span of 65 years, after an exile of 1900 years, is nothing short of remarkable. What is even more remarkable is that Ezekiel ‘saw’ it in his vision 2500 years ago.

The Return – in context of Jewish History

The timeline below showing the last 3500 years of Jewish history illustrates this. Starting from the time of Moses the Jews have alternated between three different national dispensations indicated by the different color coding.

Historical Timeline of the Jews - featuring Ezekiel & Isaiah

In the yellow periods, the Jews lived in the land promised to Abraham, but were not self-ruled from Jerusalem, their traditional capital. The first yellow period, that of the Judges, saw the Jewish people live independent from foreign powers, but without centralized rule, and with no Jerusalem.

This was followed by the green period, the golden age of Jewish history, where the dynasty of kings descending from David ruled from Jerusalem. But this ended in disaster when the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and forced the Jews into exile in Babylon – the first red period. This is the time that Ezekiel lived (as well as Jeremiah and Daniel), and the time when the Jewish people saw themselves as ‘dead bones’. Though they did return after a 70 year exile, they were not self-ruled from an independent Jerusalem. Rather they were provinces dominated within the successive Persian, Greek and Roman Empires. They were back to ‘yellow’.

This continued for over 500 years and ended when the Jews revolted against Roman rule but lost the revolt. Jerusalem was once again burned and destroyed, and the Romans this time exiled the survivors across the many nations in the larger Roman world. They were back to ‘red’ and they lived this way for almost 1900 years.

‘Dead Bones’ Coming Alive in Front of our Eyes

Until our day! With the re-birth in 1948 the dead bones started to rattle together into skeletons. With the subsequent gain of Jerusalem in 1967 as their capital, flesh and skin started to envelope the skeletons. And now every year thousands of Jews are returning from all the nations around the world. They are returning and making deserts bloom into lush farmland; they are returning and rebuilding ruined cities; they are learning Hebrew their ancient tongue; and more and more are considering again their ancient God revealed in the Hebrew Old Testament as Elohim and as YHWH. We can see the dead zombie coming back to life in front of our eyes, in the stages envisioned by Ezekiel those thousands of years ago.  And just like Ezekiel described, it is happening with all the confusion, splitting and dividing between peoples, like the violence caused by the rushing of the ‘four winds’ of the compass.  If you doubt me, just listen to the world news.

Isaiah predicts the Jewish renaissance too

It was not just Ezekiel who predicted this. Another Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, about two hundred years before Ezekiel saw that same day when (as he put it):

In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to bring back the remnant of his people— those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt; in southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and Elam; in Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.

He will raise a flag among the nations and assemble the exiles of Israel. He will gather the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth. (Isaiah 11:12-13)

Notice how Isaiah (see where he sits on the timeline) saw past the first time the remnant of exiles came back (the end of the first short red period) and predicted specifically of a second time when the remnants would be regathered “from the end of the earth”.  He saw the end of the second ‘red’ period – the very period in which you and I are now living and can see unfolding with our own eyes.

So how did Ezekiel and Isaiah foresee this so spot on? How did Isaiah even know there was going to be a ‘second’ regathering? How could they foreknow that the Jewish people would survive as a distinct people group while living as exiles in these nations around the world? After all, I see here in Canada how the many immigrants lose their ethnic and language identity after only about three generations. The Jews kept theirs for millennia. Against those odds, the promise of an enduring people which was given to Abraham should long ago have been snuffed out.

Perhaps it really is true that this Elohim or YHWH, who, according to Ezekiel, gave this vision of dry bones, really is there, watching, working, and willing that things will unfold as He promised, even as it seems so impossible. The thought that that Spirit may really be working in our midst in just this way is almost spooky.

The Dead Sea Scrolls Discovery — Still Riveting after 70 Years

For many people, biblical scholarship — with its archaic languages and ancient texts — is boring stuff.

But that’s not true of the Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered by Bedouin shepherds in 1947 in Judean wilderness caves near Jerusalem. The discovery of the ancient Jewish religious texts 70 years ago created an immediate public sensation and an international tale of secrecy and intrigue rivaling the exploits of two fictional super sleuths: Ian Fleming’s James Bond and Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon. Some scholars declared the ancient parchment texts — written mainly in Hebrew or Aramaic 2,100 to 2,300 years ago and wrapped in linen and coated with wax — predicted and validated Christian theological claims about Jesus of Nazareth. Today, the Dead Sea Scrolls are easily viewed on the internet. They shine new light on Jewish life and religious practices during the three centuries before the rise of Christianity and they confirm the basic accuracy of the biblical texts. The dating of the ancient manuscripts also shatters today’s false Palestinian political claims that Jews are modern “interlopers” or “newcomers” to the Holy Land.

 

Attacks on Religious Liberty Have Increased 133 Percent in Last 5 Years

Attacks on religious liberty have jumped by 133 percent in the last five years, according to a new report by the First Liberty Institute. The First Liberty Institute, a conservative legal group, said in its annual report, “Undeniable: The Survey of Hostility to Religion in America,” that in the last year, there has been a 15 percent increase in attacks on religious liberty. "In this edition, the total number of documented incidents in this report increased by over 15 percent over the past year and now includes more than 1,400 religious liberty incidents," the report states.

 

Bring Your Bible (Back) to School: Kids Have Good News to Share

Not all that long ago, Teddy Roosevelt could say without fear of contradiction, “A thorough understanding of the Bible is better than a college education.” In more recent times, Ronald Reagan said, “Of the many influences that have shaped the United States into a distinctive nation and people, none may be said to be more fundamental and enduring than the Bible.” Now aside from the Christian worldview it teaches and the moral lifestyle it commends, the Bible also tells us how to know and love God and how to love and serve our fellow man. No wonder it was at one time required reading in practically every school in America.

As Chuck Colson used to say, Christians need to courageously break the spiral of silence. Bring Your Bible to School Day—again, it’s tomorrow—is a great way do just that, winsomely, and completely legally. For you and your children to learn more about how they can take important early steps in standing up for Jesus with their friends, visit bringyourbible.org. It has all the resources you’ll need to be a part of this superb movement.

Prophecy NEWS Updates

Frightening Warning About Approaching Solar Flare Destruction Revealed Within Revelation

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

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

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

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

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

Since God commonly utilizes His own creations to carry out judgment as we see this time and time again throughout the Old Testament, then we know if this CME scenario is true, we may already be seeing the foundation of this event unfolding today. First, something has changed within the last 10 years regarding how governments are planning for continuity of operation; they're now thinking global. Recently, governments all over the world have built over 1,000 doomsday seed vaults to ensure the survival of the human race. The largest that we know of is the Norwegian vault on the island of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Circle. In addition, governments have begun building massive underground bunkers and small underground cities carved within the bedrock of mountains for their leadership. But the most frightening signs are the ones hiding in plain sight. First, unknowing to most, Earth's magnetic field, which normally protects us from high energy particle emissions from the sun, is collapsing! With a reduced magnetic field, solar radiation and CMEs will now have a greater impact on the Earth than ever before. In fact, the European Space Agency recently launched a satellite array that monitors solar activity and the impact it has upon the Earth. During the first 6 months of operation, it was revealed that the Earth's magnetic field was not only indeed collapsing, but that it was happening 10x faster than researchers first realized. In addition, recent discoveries by astrophysicists in Japan have revealed that our sun is in fact capable of producing what is now being called a "super flare" which is 20x - 1,000x more powerful than any flare witnessed on our modern age. They're referring to a CME that would be substantially larger than the one which occurred in the Carrington event of 1859. The "super flare" being described by researchers would be so powerful, with Earth having a weakened magnetic field, it could truly penetrate the stratosphere; causing the events described by John in revelation.

The Lord Has Already Warned Us that This Is Coming. We are told to do look for the signs for the end of our age, and it appears that the Lord has already warned us that the event described by John is indeed coming soon. During July, 2012, a massive CME ejected from the sun and crossed Earth's orbital path; missing us by only one week! This particular CME was unprecedented in size (X-class), and if the flare would have erupted just one week earlier it would have hit Earth square on. This CME blast was so massive that NASA referred to it as "The Solar Superstorm of 2012" and believe it would have knocked our civilization back to the 18th century - leading to panic, war, starvation and disease. This near miss was so shocking to various unaware agencies, they kept the event SECRET from the public for one and a half years before finally revealing it to media at a recent space summit. Following Europe's early flare detection system, NASA has also recrntly launched their own CME detection satellites,named "STEREO", which will gives the US Government a 12 to 24 hour notice in the case of an approaching catastrophic solar flare.

Christians and Yazidis in Iraq Stand on the Brink of Extinction

Astonishingly, for three years U.S. government bureaucrats have refused to help endangered religious minority communities like Christians and Yazidis survive the genocide ISIS began in 2014. These communities stand on the brink of extinction. As a witness from Iraq testified at a congressional hearing I chaired Tuesday (Oct. 3) — the 10th hearing I have convened on the atrocities — “foreign aid decisions will determine whether Christianity and religious pluralism will survive in Iraq at all.”  The U.S. Agency for International Development is reviewing a proposal from the Nineveh Reconstruction Committee to repair 6,800 religious minority homes damaged or destroyed by ISIS on the Nineveh Plains of northern Iraq.

The NRC is an ecumenical partnership between the Chaldean Catholic Church, Syriac Catholic Church and Syriac Orthodox Church. It has already restored more than 2,200 houses and two towns, enabling more than 11,000 displaced Christians to return home. Two Christian charities, the Knights of Columbus and Aid to the Church in Need, have provided most of the funding, together with support from the government of Hungary. But more is needed. Key government bureaucrats have been blind to people of faith for decades. They often see individuals merely as individuals or cases, rather than parts of a people or community of faith whose lives and destinies are beautifully bound together — and who are often targeted together. They also miss that prioritizing religious freedom globally enhances our national security, including our fight against terrorist groups that target religious groups as part of their ideology, propaganda and recruiting.  “Yazidis, Christians and other religious minorities, especially the non-Muslim minorities, cannot survive in Syria and Iraq under the current conditions. Without serious action from you and the world governments many of these people will continue to flee their ancient homelands of Syria and Iraq.”

 

North Korean Defector Describes Horrors of Being a Christian under Kim Jong-un’s Regime

Choi Kwanghyuk, a North Korean defector, said despite being offered freedom from the prison camp, he and other believers said they would not deny Christianity. Choi led an underground church in North Korea before being imprisoned. He said Christians at the prison camp would not accept an offer of freedom if it meant renouncing their beliefs. “Even though they are offered release by signing a contract renouncing their religion, they do not accept this offer,” he told The Christian Post in an interview. “Some of them feel that living inside the political camp is better than going outside because they foresee that it will be difficult for them to adapt to the outside society."

Christians in North Korea are largely persecuted in the country. Open Doors USA has ranked the country as the worst persecutor of Christians in the world. Still, Choi started an underground church. "Our meeting spot was literally underground. In North Korea, we dig holes on the ground to store Kimchee and potatoes over the winter. It's very cold in North Korea and if we don't bury it underground, then it will freeze up. We don't have heating system in North Korea," he said.

"We meet in this rectangular hole and use [a] lantern to study the Bible. Since we cannot sing out loud, we praise by humming the hymn." Choi also said that only about one of 100 people “know about God” in North Korea. “If you get caught associating with religion, then DPRK government will send them to political camp or prison," he said. To help persecuted Christians in the country, ICC, which reports on the persecution of Christians around the world, is cooperating with other countries. Gina Goh, ICC’s regional manager for Southeast Asia, said that ICC sends rice in floating bottles to the country. They also sponsor a Christian radio program and send in Gospel fliers into the country through balloons. "We want to provide not only humanitarian aid that addresses their basic needs, but also the Gospel that they don't get to hear in their country. We invite Christians to remember and pray for North Korea and its 25 million oppressed souls," she said.

 

India Cuts Off Foreign Aid to KP Yohannan's Believers Church

The Indian government led by a Hindu nationalist party, which is believed to be cracking down on Christian groups, has banned the Believers Church, founded by K.P. Yohannan of Gospel for Asia, and three other groups associated with it, from receiving foreign funds. The church believes they will get their licence back soon.

The Ministry of Home Affairs, or the interior ministry, has cancelled the registrations of the southern India-based Believers Church and three of its affiliates — Ayana Charitable Trust (formerly Gospel for Asia India), Love India Ministries and Last Hour Ministry — under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, according to The Times of India.

Know your Bible

Anything more than that comes from evil one

(This message was given at the night prayer on 29th July 2017 at Charles Elders Community, Retteri)

King which you shall set over you (Deut 28:36)

“Jehovah shall bring you, and your king which you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known. And there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone. And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a by-word among all nations where Jehovah shall lead you.Deu 28:36-37 

If you do not say “Yes” or “No” in specific situations, or if your decision taking delays than the time fixed,

Somebody will say it (Yes or No)  for you and they will start ruling  over you. He is the “King” you are  setting  upon  you.

Choosing to remain  silent, when you have to open your mouth  and say  “Yes” or “No”,   is handing yourself over to a  King, who will rule over you. Somebody else  will take  the decisions for you. As a result you will go into captivity .  You will remain in this captivity   until  you make up your mind and set yourself in a condition to say “No” and then you will  liberate yourself from their grip.

Human beings while living in a society, are always  under the pressure  of various  laws, natural, social, religious etc. 

The society in which you live,

The company where you work

The school or College where you study have enforced many such rules over you.

Abundant Life in Jesus!

Jesus came to give you abundant life. Jn 10:10.

But only those who say “Yes” to  Jesus all the time, can enjoy it!  

Every child born in our society,  till he/she attains the age of  18, are under instructors as per our constitution.

“But he is under guardians and housemasters until the term appointed before by the Father.  Even so we, when we were infants, were in bondage under the elements of the world.  But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, coming into being out of a woman, having come under Law,  that He might redeem those under Law, so that we might receive the adoption of sons.  And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. So that you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ. “(Gal 4:2-7)

After taking baptism, you need to be guided only by the Holy Spirit not by human beings. Till then you might  have been  guided by human beings, elders who had a close walk with Jesus. They were of  help to you. Now you need to take decisions by yourself and be ready to face the outcome of your decisions.

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. Rom 8:14 

Jesus said “Yes” to His Father

After 4000 years of Adam’s sin and seeing the plight of human beings on the cursed earth,  Jesus took a decision and said “Yes” to His Father.  He knew the outcome, consequences, and the price He had to pay in saying “Yes” to the will of His Father.

“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened; burnt offering and sin offering You have not asked. Then I said, Lo, I come, in the volume of the Book it is written of Me;  I delight to do Your will, O My God; and Your Law is within My heart”. Ps 40:6 -8

“For to which of the angels did He say at any time, "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You?" And again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?" 

“when He brings in the First-born into the world,  …….." Heb 1:5-6 

After saying “Yes” to His Father’s will, He had no regrets,  no complaints. He took upon Himself all the consequences of it whether good or bad. He consulted His Father in everything but decided to obey in everything.

“For I have not spoken of Myself, but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His command is life everlasting. Therefore whatever I speak, even as the Father said to Me, so I speak”. Jn 12:49,50

Jesus had direct contact with His Father continuously while He was on earth. In everything He submitted to His Father.

“…for, in that himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those that are being tempted”.  Heb 2:18 

“..though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered; and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation” Heb 5:8, 9

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Suffering for His name’s sake

These days we hear a lot of about the sufferings Christians are undergoing in our nation India. I was reminded of the vision the Lord gave in 2006. He showed me how India is going to suffer a labour pain before it comes under the rule of Jesus Christ. The Lord revealed that in India  a persecution similar to that of Rome in the early centuries, will occur.

The first edict calling for  persecution  of the Christians in Rome came in March 303. Emperor Diocletian ordered the cessation of meetings of the Christians, the destruction of the Churches, the deposition of officers of the church, the imprisonment of those who persisted in their testimony to Christ, and the destruction of the Scriptures  by fire. A later edict ordered Christians to sacrifice to the pagan gods on pain of death if they refused. Eusebius, the Church historian (260-340) pointed out that prisons became so crowded with Christian leaders and their congregations that there was not even enough rooms for criminals. Christians were punished by loss of property, exile, imprisonment, or execution by the sword or wild beasts.

Diocletian was a strong military leader who came to the imperial throne at the end of a century that was marked by political disorder in the Roman Empire. He decided that only a strong monarchy could save the empire and its classical culture. In 285 he ended the diarchy of the principate, created by Caesar Augustus in 27 B.C. by which the emperor and senate had shared authority. Out of this historical situation came the most severe persecution that the Christians ever endured.

These are the years Indian Church is going to pay  the last and greatest price for the salvation of India.

The Lord appeared to Ananias and said about Apostle Paul, 

For I will show him what great things he must suffer for My name's sake. Act_9:16 

If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.2Ti_2:12

Anything more than that comes from evil one

(This message was given at the night prayer on 29th July 2017 at Charles Elders Community, Retteri)

Mat 5:37  Instead, let your message be 'Yes' for 'Yes' and 'No' for 'No.' Anything more than that comes from the evil one." 

This does not mean to limit your words other than yes or no.

Jesus here speaks about  the decisions you have to take yourself every moment- In our daily life we have to take decisions every moment. Every moment we are speaking to  ourselves 

Yes

No

No decision (being drifted away by circumstances, others).

 

Your life is the result of the decisions you have taken so far.

You said “yes” to

Your studies, subject you selected in studies

The dress you wear now

The hairstyle you are having

The vehicle you own

The wife/husband you have today

Accept Jesus as your personal saviour

Can you think of the times you said “yes” to the above.

 

You said “No” to

The studies you didn’t choose

Some kind of  dress which you could have chosen

Another brand of vehicle you don’t have today but your friend has 

Another group of worshipping people 

To your family members, friends, close associates,  who persuaded you to take certain decisions

Have you delayed in taking decisions, afraid or not wanting  to say “Yes” or “No” as a result

Led and tossed by  circumstances,  situations, society  and people around you?

 

Have you allowed somebody else to take decisions for you

Regarding marriage, studies, buying a house, choosing a place to  settle  down, selecting job, selecting a profession, friends, selecting a Church,

 

Result?

Gal 6:7-8 For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.  For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit. 

 

Were you  pushed to take certain decisions, in the past,  which were not of your own? Compelled to yield to somebody else’s decisions and  bear the consequences of it?

Do you have any regret over it?  Have you suffered because of that ?

 

This can be  the result of saying “No” at  heart and “Yes” with lips.

Or Yes at  heart and “No” with lips.

 

When we received baptism, I said “No” to sin, satan and all  his associates.

“Yes” to Jesus, Bible commandments and to a life led by the Spirit. (Rom. 8:14).

This Yes should be kept up in your life 24 hours/7. This yes should be a continuous process. Any one moment looking back and saying “No” is  violating Mat. 5:37

This is setting a king over you (instead of you taking decisions by yourself)  and obeying him. Jehovah, while leading the Israelites in the wilderness had warned against them.  

 

And the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to JehovahAnd Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 1Sa 8:6 Sa 8:7 

 

These kings when the Israelites set over them perverted their ways from the Lord  and He had to bring them back with punishments.

Prophecy NEWS Updates

Why Study Bible Prophecy?

There are six very good reasons why you should study Bible prophecy.

  1. Nearly a Third of the Bible is Prophecy

Some 31% of the Bible is God letting mankind know what the future holds. And I'm not just talking about the writings of the Major and Minor Prophets and the book of Revelation. If you don't want to read prophecy, then you also have to skip the Psalms, Jesus' own teachings in the Gospels, and pretty much all the books by Peter, Paul, Jude and John.

The Apostle Paul warned Christians, "Do not despise prophecies." He even confirmed that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God" and so that must also include the prophetic writings. And, even Jesus throughout the Gospels and Revelation, recited prophecies from the Old Testament and taught new ones. To top it all off, Jesus promised a blessing for those who read and obey the prophecies in the book of Revelation.

So, if prophecy is so important to Jesus, then shouldn't it be important to Christians as well?

  1. The Focus of Prophecy is Jesus Christ

Bible prophecy is in the end all about Jesus. Jesus declared He must fulfill prophecy so that "...all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me." The angel of Revelation 19 even equated the testimony of Jesus with prophecy, declaring "...Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

If Jesus did not fulfill even one of the 109 distinct First Coming prophecies about the Messiah, then He couldn't be who He claimed to be -- the Savior.

Fulfilled prophecy validates Jesus' claim to divinity and being our Savior.

  1. Fulfilled Prophecies Prove the Bible is Truly God's Word

The Bible is unique in being prophetic. There is no religious book, not by Buddha or Krishna or Mohammed or anyone else, ever written which contains so much prophecy. And, I'm not talking about general prophecies about the future, but super specific prophecies such as the Messiah would descend from the line of David, be born in Bethlehem, be killed by crucifixion, and be raised from the dead three days later.

The actual fulfillment of all these prophecies and over a hundred more proves the Bible truly is the Word of God, and so we can put our faith in what it teaches.

  1. Bible Prophecy Motivates One to Holy Living

 The Prophets and Apostles didn't just relay God's messages about the future, but they also gave powerful messages concerning living morally. For example, Romans 13 encourages, "...the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light."

When the people obeyed prophetic teachings, they grew spiritually. 1 John 3 declares, "...when He [Jesus] is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure."

They became better people, being less self-centered and more God-centered. 1 Peter 4 admonishes, "But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers... have fervent love for one another... minister to one another, be good stewards..."

When a person is more heavenly minded they'll be more generous because they're investing in eternity. 2 Peter 3 advises, "But the day of the Lord will come... Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God..."

And, the people became much better at discerning truth from falsehoods. Luke 21 warns, "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly..."

  1. Bible Prophecy Energizes Christians to Evangelize

 Knowing that we're quickly running out of time before Jesus returns, Christians when they study Bible prophecy become motivated to get out there and tell people about the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Fulfilled Bible prophecies actually are an excellent apologetics tool for defending the faith. And, the Gospel is very attractive to people wanting to know what the future holds.

  1. Bible Prophecy Provides Hope for the Future

When the world seems to be careening into chaos and you wonder if God's still around, Bible prophecy tells us God certainly is still in control. In the light of Bible prophecy, these crazy current events finally make sense. They're all leading up to one big thing -- Jesus Christ's return.

And when Jesus returns, He wins! And when Jesus wins, believers in Christ, well, we win as well! So, when you live a life of anticipating victory, you too can have hope for the future.

Summary

So in summary, to reject Bible prophecy means skipping almost a third of the Bible. The focus of prophecy is Jesus Christ. Fulfilled prophecies prove the Bible is truly God's Word. Prophecy motivates Christians to holy living, to evangelism, and to have hope about the future. The Apostle Peter warned, "that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming?'" Will that be you? No! Or, will you embrace the wonder that Is Jesus Christ, the focus and fulfillment of Bible prophecy?

At Least 21 Dead In Bombing At Egyptian Church

The blast struck as Egypt's Coptic Christian community marked Palm Sunday.

Cairo: A bomb blast at a church north of Cairo killed at least 21 people and wounded dozens who had gathered for Palm Sunday mass, state media reported, in the latest apparent attack on Egypt's Coptic Christians. Some 59 people were wounded in the blast, which struck at a Coptic Church in the Nile Delta City of Tanta, 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of Cairo, the reports said. A medical official at a hospital in Tanta confirmed to AFP that at least 13 people had been killed. Palm Sunday is one of the holiest days of the Christian calendar, marking the triumphant entrance of Jesus to Jerusalem.

 

ISIS Claims Egypt Church Bombings That Killed 38: Report

Egyptians gather by a Coptic church that was bombed on Sunday in Tanta, Egypt. (Reuters)

Cairo: The ISIS claimed responsibility for bombing two Egyptian churches as worshippers gathered to mark Palm Sunday, killing at least 38 people in the deadliest attacks on the Coptic Christian minority in recent memory. The attacks followed a Cairo church bombing in December and came weeks ahead of a planned visit by Catholic Pope Francis intended to show support for the country's Christian minority.

The first bombing struck the Mar Girgis church in the city of Tanta north of Cairo, killing 27 people, the health ministry said. Emergency services had scrambled to the scene when another bombing rocked the Saint Mark's church in Alexandria where Coptic Pope Tawadros II had been leading a Palm Sunday service. Eleven people were killed in that attack, which the interior ministry said was caused by a suicide bomber who blew himself up when police prevented him from entering the church. The ministry said Tawadros was unharmed, and a church official said he had left the church before the bombing. At least 78 people were wounded in Tanta and another 40 wounded in Alexandria, the health ministry said.

 

Iranian Christians Celebrate New Believers in Mass Baptism

Being a Christian in Iran is very dangerous. Christian converts face persecution in many forms, but that hasn’t stopped 20 Iranian Christians from recently getting baptized. CBN News reports that many in the group of Christians converted to Christianity years ago, but have had to wait to be baptized due to the danger it places them in. For that reason, neither the identities of the converts nor the exact location of the baptism has been revealed. The group of converts reportedly got together to make a pilgrimage to the baptism site which was outside of Iran. "I've been waiting for this moment for nearly nine years," said one convert. "This was my wish before I die," said another.

The mass baptism was a joyous event for these fervent believers who ranged in age from teenagers to the elderly.Nearly all of them have faced consequences and persecution for deciding to put their faith in Christ, but they have persevered. And although Iran is one of the most dangerous places for Christians and government authorities fear the spread of the Gospel, it is also one of the places where Christianity is growing by leaps and bounds. There are many reports of Muslims encountering Jesus through dreams and visions. "We have been praying for years that Iranian people believe in Jesus and get baptized. Now, this dream is coming true,” said a Christian convert whose brother was murdered for his faith in 1994.

 

Four Nepali Christians Released After Nine Months of Wrongful Imprisonment

International Christian Concern (ICC) is elated to report that four Nepali Christians, Lali Pun, Bimkali Budha, Ruplal Pariyar and his wife Ganga, were finally released from prison when their sentences for "violence and witchcraft" after praying for a mentally ill woman were reversed.  This news comes after ICC's advocacy team led a petition to the Nepali government demanding their release earlier this year.

These Christians were originally convicted in December of last year in the District Court in Salyan after the father-in-law of a mentally ill woman accused them of abuse and witchcraft against her.  The father-in-law had brought the woman to a local church for prayer in the hopes that their efforts might heal her.  The mentally ill woman, Seti Pariyar, left the prayer service and was later found in a forest harming herself and yelling before being taken home.

After reading a media report of the incident, a complaint was made by Bhisma Pariyar. This led to the hearing and following conviction in District Court, despite the mentally ill woman and her husband testifying that the four did not act in a forceful or abusive manner. The woman also testified that she was healed because of their prayers. This wrongful imprisonment was further indication of Nepal's continued backslide on issues of religious freedom.  Earlier this year, the Nepali parliament passed a new law criminalizing conversions to non-Hindu religions. The parliament passed the law despite Article 26 (3) of Nepal's 2015 constitution already restricting religious conversion and expression. Nate Lance, ICC's Advocacy Manager, said of these Christians' release, "International Christian Concern is so pleased that this situation has reached its rightful resolution.  However, the imprisonment of these Christians should have never taken place as the facts of their innocence were clear. This is a step in the right direction for religious freedom in Nepal, but there is still much work to be done.  No one should fear imprisonment for the free expression and practice of their religion."

 

US Efforts to Assist the Victims of Kim's Regime Cross a Major Legislative Hurdle

Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2061, formally known as the North Korea Human Rights Reauthorization Act of 2017. This bill not only provides much needed relief to many displaced citizens of Kim Jong-un's cruel regime, but it also provides tools for the United States to more effectively respond to the North Korean crisis. The bill also renews the responsibilities of the Special Envoy to North Korea and provides congressional oversight for all US endeavors concerning North Korea, including technology and information drops, radio broadcasting, and refugee assistance.

This bill, introduced in April of this year, renews legislation that was passed in 2004, granting relief to the North Korean people. For almost 70 years, North Korea has been ruled by the Kim family. Countless thousands have fled the state in order to avoid execution, starvation, or life imprisonment for trivial offenses against the state. In an effort to provide aid to those who have fled the atrocities of the Kim regime, H.R. 2061 will place much needed resources in the hands of those who can directly assist the most destitute individuals.

In a statement prior to the vote in yesterday's session, Congressman Ed Royce asserted, "The Kim regime wants to pose a mortal threat to the United States, and to our democratic, treaty allies: South Korea and Japan. But in facing this reality, we cannot afford to forget the regime's greatest victim and longest-held hostage: The North Korean people themselves." In a time when tensions with the North Korean government are at an all-time high, H.R. 2061 provides the necessary tools for the US government to help address this human rights crisis.

Nate Lance, ICC's Advocacy Manager, stated, "ICC is pleased to see H.R. 2061 pass through the US House of Representatives.  This bill is critically important in allowing the US to address the human rights crisis in North Korea through its special envoy on human rights and the variety of programs to enhance humanitarian support outside of the country and promote freedom of information.  I agree with Chairman Royce when he says that although we are in a tense security situation with North Korea, the North Korean people cannot be forgotten.  The House has demonstrated that commitment, and I hope the Senate will follow shortly."

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  15:1  The spirit which induces harsh  answer and stirs up anger.

Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Will of our Father

The sole aim of all  religions  is to take people to heaven. They all recommend many methods for this. But Jesus has given a criterion to enter into heaven.

Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who keeps saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will get into the kingdom from heaven, but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven.

"but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven will enter the Kingdom of heaven."

Then what is the will of our Father in heaven?

  1. All people to be saved.1Ti 2:4.

"who wants all people to be saved and to come to know the truth fully".

  1. Not a man to be lost. Mat 18:14 .

 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.”

10

How to achieve this?

Every believer should engage in soul winning. Today many have misunderstood "soul winning" as adding members to an institutional Church or to a religion called Christianity.  It is not so. Soul winning is making one a disciple of Jesus. He/she need not be the member of Christian religion.   

One sister Selvam came to Chennai attend the “Worship School " classes on 23,24 September. When she came she could not walk. Both her legs were swollen and when she got down from the taxi, she came crawling on both her hands and legs. Her children brought her here with the firm belief that if she attends this class she will be healed. After the first day's class, she wanted to be prayed over.

But the servant of God told her,                                                               

"Jesus Christ has accomplished everything on the cross. You have received the same spirit as me. Use your authority! Come on! You yourself are going to pray for your legs.  Lay your hand on your legs and command this pain to flee from your body. Repeat after me. 'I am the child of God. Jesus Christ has saved me. His blood has already been shed for me. By His stripes I am healed. All the infirmities and sicknesses in my legs, I command in Jesus name to get out of my body. Amen."

She was asked to repeat this 100 times.

When the course was over, she walked normally, climbed down the steps even without holding on to the rails, walked to the bus stand and went by bus to her village which is 4 hours drive.

Praise be to God!. This is the authority given to a believer! How many of us make use of this authority to win disciples for Jesus?

THIS IS THE MESSAGE GIVEN BY THE LORD TO HIS CHILDREN ON THE FUTURE OF INDIA

No

Verse

Explanation

01

The burden of Egypt

India, a land full of idolatry

01

Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt

The years had come for God’s Will and action to be accomplished very quickly.

01

And the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence,

The idols of India will tremble before the Lord, he will shake and shudder idols, they wither like fruits of the trees

01

And the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

The heart of India with 3000 year history of idol worship has started to melt, as Rahab, the prostitute told the people of Joshua,

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. ( Joshua 2:11)

02

And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

Days of Confusion in India – In the family, society, country etc – Confusions will be rampant like war within a country. The Lord will initiate confusion and bring on war within the country

03

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof and I will destroy the counsel thereof

The politicians and governing officials will be clueless of the reason behind this.

 I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. Joshua 2-9

These people will convene meetings again and again, state wise and in the capital city

03

And they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

In search of answers for this confusion, they will seek help of Astrologers and sorcerers. 

04

And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

Already, the Lord has entrusted Egypt in the hands of a cruel and tough ruler, the one who has won elections and come to power is evidenced as a dictator by the Lord himself

05

And the waters shall fail from the sea,

The anointing which was like a huge bubbling ocean has drained

05

And the river shall be wasted and dried up.

The River – Churches. The anointed which was in the churches will also drain out

By Sis.Angelica (To be continued)

World Is Running Out Of Antibiotics, warns WHO

Bacteria appear to be innovating faster than the global health community.

In a new report, the World Health Organization warned the world is running out of antibiotics: There are not enough truly new antibiotics being developed to keep up with the many antibiotic-resistant infections ravaging the human population.

"Antimicrobial resistance is a global health emergency that will seriously jeopardize progress in modern medicine," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO's director-general, according to MarketWatch.

"There is an urgent need for more investment in research and development for antibiotic-resistant infections including TB, otherwise we will be forced back to a time when people feared common infections and risked their lives from minor surgery."

Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria mutate and become immune to a certain antibiotic. The overuse or incorrect use of a drug can lead to pathogens becoming resistant to it.

The most extraordinary political upset in history wasn't a surprise at all. One man was given a direct message from God years before Donald Trump decided to run for president about who the next commander-in-chief would be. Don't miss "The Trump Prophecies," now available from the WND Superstore.

Antibiotic resistance has worried public health officials for many years, and the threat has only grown recently. In August 2016, the WHO released new guidelines for treatment of three sexually transmitted infections – chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis – because the existing antibiotics were becoming less and less effective.

In July, the organization announced drug-resistant gonorrhea was becoming a particularly big problem, warning it's "only a matter of time" before gonorrhea is resistant to all current antibiotic treatments.

Drug development is falling behind diseases, especially for drug-resistant tuberculosis and other maladies the WHO has flagged as high priority. Out of 51 new products currently being developed for antibiotic-resistant infections, the WHO thinks only eight are actually innovative and add value to the world of treatments.

On top of that, the WHO report said current development efforts could produce only about 10 newly approved drugs in the next five years because drug development is a slow, drawn-out process.

But even any new drugs likely won't be successful against many existing drug-resistant infections.

According to the WHO, "these potential new treatments will add little to the already existing arsenal" because most of the drugs in development are basically versions of existing antibiotic classes. They will only provide short-term solutions.

The WHO report also singled out drug companies for failing to involve themselves enough in the process, largely because antibiotics are not very profitable. These types of drugs are relatively low-priced, and much of the new antibiotic development is funded at least partly by public or philanthropic research grants, according to the WHO.

Christian NEWS

Russian Anti-Missionary Law Mainly Hampers Christians

Concerns among Russian Christians that the government’s antiterrorism legislation, adopted last year, would take away their religious freedom have been proven true. The Yarovaya Laws, named for the lawmaker who sponsored them, ban proselytizing, preaching, and praying outside recognized religious institutions. Forum 18 counted 186 cases filed since enforcement began, with roughly half the charges against various Christian denominations and individuals or Christian-affiliated organizations. Officials later dismissed only about 20 percent of the cases. Punishments ranged from fines and confiscation of materials to orders for deportation.

Since July 2016, authorities have prosecuted Christian churches and individuals for announcing an upcoming service, conducting home prayer meetings, distributing religious calendars, failure to fully display a church name, and organizing a concert. In one of the first cases against a Christian, officials in Noyabrsk charged Baptist Union Pastor Aleksei Teleus for allowing children to play on the playground outside his church, where they might overhear sermons and prayers or gain access to religious literature. Officials called it an “unsanctioned children’s camp” and fined the pastor 5,000 roubles (about $85).

Independent Baptist missionary Don Ossewaarde became the first American prosecuted under the law for holding a worship service in his home. Courts up to and including Russia’s Constitutional Court, the country’s highest, ruled against his multiple appeals. Authorities also targeted members of other religions, including Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hare Krishnas, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. In the most extreme example of persecution under the law, Russian officials labeled Jehovah’s Witnesses “extremists,” liquidated their property, and banned them entirely. The law’s vagueness has caused widespread confusion, attorney Mikhail Frolov told Forum 18. “Believers don’t understand what is permitted and what is forbidden,” he said. “It is possible to sentence people under this for any religious activity.”

 

Two Churches Reopen in Minya with Full Support of Local Community

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on Sunday, September 10, local authorities in Egypt's Minya Governorate reopened St. Mary and St. Michael Coptic Orthodox Church in Ezbat Al-Forn and St. Paula Coptic Orthodox Church in Kidwan village. Security authorities routinely close Egypt's churches under the pretext that their existence would spark community controversy. However, the local Muslim community united with the Christian community in advocating for the reopening of Minya's closed churches, leading President al-Sisi to recommend that the security authorities reopen the two churches. 

Dahi Abdul Salam, the Muslim mayor of Ezbat Al-Forn, told ICC, "There was no form of objection from the beginning by the village Muslims for our Coptic brothers to pray in their church. We formed a delegation of Muslims from the village; we went to the security leaders and leaders of the intelligence sector where we affirmed our appreciation for the need of our Coptic brothers in the village for a place to pray. We (Muslims) pray anywhere and see that it is the right of our brothers Copts to pray as well."

The reopening of the St. Mary and St. Michael Coptic Orthodox Church occurred 20 days after security officials forced its doors to close. Minya police were present during the Holy Mass and some Muslims attended to offer congratulations on the reopening of the church. The church's priest, Father Paula Bebawy, expressed his thanks for the neighboring Muslims' support. "We are grateful to them because they showed Egyptian citizenship effectively. Every prayer held in the church is good for Egypt and for all Egyptians. We pray in the Mass that Egypt may be blessed. And we pray for our leaders, soldiers, and our borders." Gratitude was further offered in a statement offered by the Diocese of Minya and Abu Qurqas who specifically thanked President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi for his response to their pleas and the promise of officials to speedily reopen the rest of Minya's closed churches. The statement also echoed the thankfulness of local Christians for the assistance from their Muslim neighbors.

Nady, a local Christian resident of Ezbat Al-Forn, told ICC, "We thank God who listened to our prayers and suffering by moving the hearts of the officials. We thank President al-Sisi for his response to our appeal and for ordering the officials in Minya to reopen our church. We also thank Anba Macarius, the General Bishop of Minya, for standing with us and defending our right since the beginning of the crisis until now. And we thank our Muslim brothers in the village for standing with us and for their genuine love which was showed to us during the crisis." Another resident added, "We are very happy that our church has been reopened and we can now freely pray there at any time."

Claire Evans, ICC's Regional Manager, added,"Reopening these two churches in Minya is a positive step forward in allowing Egypt's Christians the opportunity to exercise their right to worship and practice their faith. However, this process further demonstrates how Egypt's security forces will close a church, citing local objections even when none are present. The opportunity to peacefully practice one's religious faith is a right which should not be denied. The Egyptian government should quickly make good on its promise to open the churches which remain closed and take steps that would prevent future closures based on false allegations."

 

Pakistani Christian Teen Beaten to Death by Muslim Classmates

A Pakistani Christian boy was taunted and beaten to death by some of his Muslim classmates, reports The Christian Post. Seventeen-year-old Sharoon Masih faced discrimination, ridicule, and ultimately physical violence which led to his death. Sharoon was singled out by his fellow students because of his Christian faith. The British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) reports on what Sharoon endured: "On his first-day, Sharoon was slapped and told to stand outside the class for an entire day for not wearing the school uniform. His parents say he didn't wear the uniform because they simply didn't have the money to buy it.” 

Sharoon was also called a “filthy Christian,” a “demon,” and a “chura,” which is a derogatory word for Christians in Pakistan. Sharoon’s classmates also refused to allow him any access to water while he was at school. Then, one day, they beat him unconscious, and he died. "None of the school staff took Sharoon to the hospital [but] some pupils took his dead body some hours later,” reported the BPCA. A candlelight vigil will be held for Sharoon in New South Wales, Australia. The vigil will also raise awareness of Christian persecution in Pakistan. Sharoon’s mother said he was “a kind-hearted, hard-working and affable boy.”

 

Mob Violence Terrorizes Small Christian Village in Egypt

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on September 14, a Muslim mob in the village of Tawa in Minya attacked the local Coptic Christian community. Homes, businesses, and cars were destroyed and three Copts suffered minor injuries. These attacks were in retaliation against a Facebook post which was widely shared among Christians. The author, a 22-year-old Christian resident of Tawa named Bassem, had written the post in May following the deadly attack by Islamic extremists against a caravan of Coptic Christians traveling to the Monastery of St. Samuel the Confessor.

Bassem wrote on May 27: "Are we (Copts) Egyptians not from Egypt? No matter that you try to hurt us, one day all your ways will fail. Do you think that I cry? Never! I don't cry because I trust in Jesus very much, I prostrate to him and he loves me. He never leaves me one day. When you demolish the homes of his children, you attack himself. I ask Jesus to touch your heart and change you. Our Lord knows and see what is happening to us. Continue and increase your terrorism, but I'm not afraid because it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God."

At the end of the post, Bassem shared photos of Salafi Sheikhs whom he believed bore responsibility for inciting extremist violence against Christians. Bassem deleted the post the next day, on May 28, but not before it had spread across social media. It wasn't until four months later that a Muslim villager in Tawa saw the post on the Facebook page of Bassem's friend, Mena. The post then spread among some of the Muslim villagers, who considered the post an insult to Islam. Essam, a Christian resident in Tawa and an eyewitness to the mob's violence, told ICC, "Many Muslims gathered and the mob began to attack Christian homes and shops. They were pelting stones at the homes while shouting, 'Allah Akbar.' They hurled bricks and stones at Mar Girgis (St. George) Coptic Orthodox Church despite the presence of some security guards who had been assigned to guard the church, but the guards couldn't confront the huge number of the mob. The police then arrived in the village, controlled the situation, and arrested Muslim villagers. The security forces have now deployed across the streets of the village." On September 15, the governor of Mina and the security director toured the village while accompanied by a number of parliamentarians as well as Islamic and Christian clerics. The same day, the prosecution detained 19 Muslims pending an investigation into the violence. The prosecution also ordered the arrest of Bassem and Mena, charging them with insulting Islamic figures and inciting sectarian strife. Both Christian men have fled the village.

Claire Evans, ICC's Regional Manager, said, "Egypt's Coptic Christian community has greatly suffered at the hands of Islamic extremists. In Tawa, Christian men, women, and children were once again terrorized by those who have no desire for peace. This violence is unacceptable. We are relieved to learn that Bassem and Mena were not injured by the mob, but alarmed about the prosecution's decision to charge them although they were clearly targets of the mob's violence. We pray for their safety and that of their fellow villagers. The authorities need to be more intentional in protecting the lives and property of Egypt's Christians."

 

Church vandalised and cross desecrated in Faridabad

A Church was completely vandalized and a cross desecrated by a mob of Hindu extremists earlier this month in the Indian state of Haryana. Pastor KG Matthews, 63, was conducting a morning service in one of the two churches he is responsible for in the Rehoboth Fellowship Church in the Nehru colony of Faridabad, when he received news of the attack on Sunday 3 September. On reaching his church he found it badly damaged.

He said, “About 40 members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh [RSS – a Hindu right-wing organization] broke into my Church, which was locked and damaged the entire property of the Church including chairs, tables, benches, musical instruments besides breaking the main door and the door of another room inside the Church. “They broke the cross made from cement which was engraved above the door post of the Church and applied cow-dung on the desecrated cross”, said Pastor K. G. Mathew in an interview with Global Christian News.

Cow-dung on the desecrated Cross of the Rehoboth Fellowship Church

“As I was conducting service elsewhere, nobody was in this Church at the time of the attack thus no one got injured,” said Pastor Mathews. Mathews was born in the southern Indian state of Kerala and moved to North India 42 years ago and since then has been ministering in the locality. He has been running this Church for the past 15 years. “I have been running a school for the underprivileged children of drug addicts who live in the surrounding slums,” said Mathew. Mathew reached the police post to complain about the attack, where he found another Pastor Abraham Thomas, who was brought in by the RSS mob. “I came to know in the police station that the same Hindu mob had also vandalised my Church. The police initially were not willing to hear my complaint, they heard the allegation levied on us by the Hindu extremists and then came to visit my Church. After the police, themselves witnessed the wanton destruction caused by the extremists, they realised the truth in my statements,” said Mathews. The Police offered police-protection to the Rehoboth Fellowship Church for their Sunday services and “two constables were sent to guard my Church during the worship service last Sunday (10 Sep)”. No action has been reported to have taken place against the Hindu extremists.

The CBCI also expressed its gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mrs. Sushma Swaraj for “persistently and perseveringly working to obtain the release of Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil.”

Intervention by the Oman Government helped secure the release of Fr. Tom Uzhunnalil. A statement released by the Oman News Agency said, “In response to the Royal Orders of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said and as per a request from the Vatican to assist in the rescuing of a Vatican employee, the concerned authorities in the Sultanate, in coordination with the Yemeni authorities, have managed to find him.” Later another version of the statement was released online which omitted the words “as per the request of the Vatican” and referred to Fr Tom as a “Vatican priest” and not a “Vatican employee”.

The Government of Oman claimed that Fr. Tom’s release had been secured with “Omani help” and said that “Tom Uzhunnalil, a Vatican priest expressed thanks to God Almighty and appreciation to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. He also thanked his brothers and sisters and all relatives and friends who called on God for safety and release.” Meanwhile Mrs Sushma Swaraj on 13 September 2017 at around 4 pm IST announced from her Twitter account that Fr. Tom was indeed in Vatican and had spoken to her. She wrote in a three-part tweet, “Fr Tom has spoken to me from Vatican. He profusely thanked the Government of India especially the Prime Minister for efforts to rescue him. He also conveyed his thanks to the Governments and people who helped in his rescue mission. He has also conveyed his thanks to the people of India for their concern and prayers for his release.”

Delivered to the tormentors

In my recent trip to a place for Forgiveness and Reconciliation Programme (FRP), they brought a young boy for prayer who was told to be mentally ill. He had been treated as a psychiatric patient for one month. The family spent about Rs. 1,00,000.00 for his treatment. Even at the first sight we can make out that he is possessed by an evil spirit. When the command was given in the name of Jesus, he fell down and started rolling on the ground. He was asked to get up and utter the name “Jesus”. When he pronounced that name, satan knocked him down and again he fell down.

“Jesus answered and said to them, You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God”. Mat 22:29 

From the FRP classes we learned more about the activities of satan and evil spirits these days. They  need legal rights to one’s life. They cannot just intrude at will. It always involves legal consent from either the individual or from God. Formally deliverance ministry for us took 5 days, 3 days or hours together. Now it has become so easy. Find out the door through which enemy has intruded and chase him out! It needs the consent of the individual.  Until the person agrees to chase it out or breaks all the ties he/she has with the evil spirit, it refuses to leave!

God’s consent: Will God allow enemy to torment a person? Mathew 5:25-26 clearly says yes. It teaches us a great lesson. While we are on this earth as pilgrims of life journey, we are supposed to forgive all our enemies from the bottom of our heart. Those who refuse to forgive,  inevitably will go to prison, and will be there until he pays back all his debt. The judge (Heavenly Father) hands him over to devil (officer) who imprisons him.

Today 95 % of the believers are in prison one way or other. Just because they refuse to forgive!

Mat 18:34  And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him. 

Mat. 18:34,35 clearly says that when a person refuses to forgive others, all the generational, ancestral sins and curses which were forgiven (Mat 18:27) when he accepted Jesus Christ, comes back to him and he again becomes a debtor and taken to prison. Until he pays back his whole debt (which once was cancelled and written off) he will never come out of the prison! What a horrible situation!

Let us forgive our brothers and sisters deliberately and willfully!

Farmer Banned From Selling Food Due To Christian Beliefs Fights Back

A federal judge has ordered a Michigan city to allow a nearby farmer to participate in its farmers market after concluding officials there likely illegally discriminated against him because of his faith.

The case centers on the issue of same-sex "marriage," and it isn't the first time since the U.S. Supreme Court created that status several years ago that courts have ruled the rights of homosexuals supersede the right to exercise religion.Previous cases were decided in favor of a T-shirt maker in Kentucky and bakers in Mississippi.

Know your Bible

Dear Soldiers of “The Army of Jesus”,

Greetings in the name of the Lord of hosts!

“Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees. Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and save you.  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped; then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert. Isa 35:3 -6

I presume all of you are doing well and getting trained daily in the spiritual warfare. We are keeping you soldiers in our daily prayer.

A few weeks ago one brother came to me and said, “Sister I have come to share a serious thing with you. Then he shared about an audio posted in the whatsapp which speaks about  Bro. Uma Shankar and also about me. I told him not to worry about such things. We should spend our time more usefully to execute the plans which the Lord has entrusted with us.  After that a few from other States also alerted me about the same. Usually I don’t listen to audios in whatsapp. Day before yesterday only I listened to that audio just to know the will of God regarding this. We are in the midst of the battlefield. Born to fight and win. Attack of enemy is not news for us. It is our daily routine. But when an attack bothers our soldiers, we should deal with it. Hence this letter. I was asking the Lord what I should do regarding this. See how the Lord led me.

“Go to them of the captivity, (to those who are tied up to the building Churches) to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh;’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.  Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you. Eze 3:11,10,

For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;   not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can’t understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you. Eze 3:5-6

But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.  Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.  I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”

 Eze 3:7 -9, Is. 66:5

Yesterday one sister from Telengana phoned to me and said that the Lord gave Isaiah 19 to them while praying. Then I remembered the Veeramuzhakkam (Clarion Call) which I wrote and published in Ezuchikural (Vol. 20, Issue 6) of June 2014. When I read it again, it was the exact reply for this audio. I kindly recommend all the Army soldiers to go through it. It is in Tamil. Somebody who has time, please translate it into English (Contact Sr.Anitta) for the sake of our non Tamil soldiers.

“Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand? and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace. 

Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple”. Luk 14:31 -33

Those who know Tamil can read this. We will try to translate the same into English without much delay.

Extract from the Tamil Magazine EZHUCHIKURAL Vol 20 Issue 6. (June 2014)

 JUNE 2014

And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. 2 Kings 19:3

This month (May 2014),  a pastor called me up over phone a couple of weeks before, he was an assistant pastor in a big church and God asked him to leave that church, though it was tough for him he obeyed the instruction of God, he said that when he sat for prayer the Lord showed him Isaiah 19

Accepting this message from this unknown pastor I waited upon the lord and He spoke to me giving some explanations. THIS IS THE MESSAGE GIVEN BY THE LORD TO HIS CHILDREN ON THE FUTURE OF INDIA

Pakistani Christian Teen Beaten to Death by Muslim Classmates

A Pakistani Christian boy was taunted and beaten to death by some of his Muslim classmates, reports The Christian Post. Seventeen-year-old Sharoon Masih faced discrimination, ridicule, and ultimately physical violence which led to his death. Sharoon was singled out by his fellow students because of his Christian faith. The British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) reports on what Sharoon endured: "On his first-day, Sharoon was slapped and told to stand outside the class for an entire day for not wearing the school uniform. His parents say he didn't wear the uniform because they simply didn't have the money to buy it.”

Sharoon was also called a “filthy Christian,” a “demon,” and a “chura,” which is a derogatory word for Christians in Pakistan. Sharoon’s classmates also refused to allow him any access to water while he was at school. Then, one day, they beat him unconscious, and he died. "None of the school staff took Sharoon to the hospital [but] some pupils took his dead body some hours later,” reported the BPCA. A candlelight vigil will be held for Sharoon in New South Wales, Australia. The vigil will also raise awareness of Christian persecution in Pakistan.

Sharoon’s mother said he was “a kind-hearted, hard-working and affable boy.”

 

The Invisible Christians of North Korea: Surviving by God's Grace Alone

If you think North Korea’s dictators are bad for the world, just imagine what it’s like to be a Christian there. Anyone who knows anything about world missions and the global church knows about the Christians of South Korea. According to the Operation World prayer guide, “From the first Protestant church planted in 1884, South Korea now has possibly 50,000 Protestant congregations,” and 15 million Christians of all kinds. It’s also a missionary powerhouse, currently sending more than 21,000 missionaries to about 175 countries. Amazing!

But the Christians of North Korea? They’re virtually invisible—though of course not in the eyes of the Lord Jesus! Operation World says that although no one really knows their true number, there could be as many as 350,000 underground Christians living in the slave state of 24 million people. When you consider that the government there—whether run by the Japanese occupiers during World War II, or the current cult-like, totalitarian leadership—has been trying to stamp out all vestiges of Christianity for about 70 years, that’s alsoamazing. Tragically, and infuriatingly, up to 100,000 of these brothers and sisters in Christ are locked up in harsh prisons or work camps. Where did they all come from, and how do they survive? Well, in answer to the first part, it’s a fascinating story. Did you know that from the late 19th century until 1942, Pyongyang, North Korea’s Orwellian capital city today, was known as the “Jerusalem of the East”?

According to Providence journal, “a Presbyterian medical doctor named Horace Allen … became physician to the king of Korea and received royal permission to proselytize after saving the life of a royal family member severely wounded during an attempted coup. Presbyterian and Methodist missionaries from the United States followed, and along with Catholic and other Protestant missionaries from other countries, they found Koreans to be receptive to their message in large numbers. A quarter of a century later in 1910, Korean Christians numbered over 200,000, two thirds of them Presbyterians and Methodists, in a country of approximately 13 million people.”

If the city of Seoul was receptive to the gospel, and it was, Pyongyang was even more so. Following a series of revivals in and around the “Jerusalem of the East,” by 1910 the region was the most heavily Christian in all of Korea. Of course, most of us know what happened next. After World War II, the communist regime of Kim Il-sung attempted to stamp out all foreign religions, especially Christianity, which was branded a tool of “Western imperialism.” Missionaries were thrown out, churches closed, and many Christians executed for their faith, with many more pouring into democratic South Korea at the end of the Korean War.

So how do those who remain survive? As with all of us, by God’s grace. Today, Open Doors USA reports, North Korea is the most oppressive place in the world for Christians. “Due to ever-present surveillance,” the agency says, “many pray with eyes open, and gathering for praise or fellowship is practically impossible. Worship of the ruling Kim family is mandated for all citizens, and those who don’t comply (including Christians) are arrested, imprisoned, tortured or killed. Entire Christian families are imprisoned in hard labor camps.” It’s no wonder that one North Korean Christian lady who escaped continues to pray a simple prayer she learned from her mother: “Lord, Lord, please help!”

And the Lord, through agencies such as Open Doors, is answering that prayer, providing Bibles and emergency relief inside the country as well as to fleeing North Korean Christians. They’re not invisible to Him—and now, I hope, not to us, either.

 

Two Churches Reopen in Minya with Full Support of Local Community

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on Sunday, September 10, local authorities in Egypt's Minya Governorate reopened St. Mary and St. Michael Coptic Orthodox Church in Ezbat Al-Forn and St. Paula Coptic Orthodox Church in Kidwan village. Security authorities routinely close Egypt's churches under the pretext that their existence would spark community controversy. However, the local Muslim community united with the Christian community in advocating for the reopening of Minya's closed churches, leading President al-Sisi to recommend that the security authorities reopen the two churches.

Dahi Abdul Salam, the Muslim mayor of Ezbat Al-Forn, told ICC, "There was no form of objection from the beginning by the village Muslims for our Coptic brothers to pray in their church. We formed a delegation of Muslims from the village; we went to the security leaders and leaders of the intelligence sector where we affirmed our appreciation for the need of our Coptic brothers in the village for a place to pray. We (Muslims) pray anywhere and see that it is the right of our brothers Copts to pray as well."

The reopening of the St. Mary and St. Michael Coptic Orthodox Church occurred 20 days after security officials forced its doors to close. Minya police were present during the Holy Mass and some Muslims attended to offer congratulations on the reopening of the church. The church's priest, Father Paula Bebawy, expressed his thanks for the neighboring Muslims' support. "We are grateful to them because they showed Egyptian citizenship effectively. Every prayer held in the church is good for Egypt and for all Egyptians. We pray in the Mass that Egypt may be blessed. And we pray for our leaders, soldiers, and our borders."

Gratitude was further offered in a statement offered by the Diocese of Minya and Abu Qurqas who specifically thanked President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi for his response to their pleas and the promise of officials to speedily reopen the rest of Minya's closed churches. The statement also echoed the thankfulness of local Christians for the assistance from their Muslim neighbors.

 

Russian Anti-Missionary Law Mainly Hampers Christians

Concerns among Russian Christians that the government’s antiterrorism legislation, adopted last year, would take away their religious freedom have been proven true. The Yarovaya Laws, named for the lawmaker who sponsored them, ban proselytizing, preaching, and praying outside recognized religious institutions. Forum 18 counted 186 cases filed since enforcement began, with roughly half the charges against various Christian denominations and individuals or Christian-affiliated organizations. Officials later dismissed only about 20 percent of the cases. Punishments ranged from fines and confiscation of materials to orders for deportation.

Since July 2016, authorities have prosecuted Christian churches and individuals for announcing an upcoming service, conducting home prayer meetings, distributing religious calendars, failure to fully display a church name, and organizing a concert. The law’s vagueness has caused widespread confusion, attorney Mikhail Frolov told Forum 18.

“Believers don’t understand what is permitted and what is forbidden,” he said. “It is possible to sentence people under this for any religious activity.”
