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  11:26  The spirit which makes one withhold  grain without selling it

Many a times I have wondered “why the children of God are put to various kinds of sufferings even after Jesus Christ has brought victory into this world through His death & resurrection”.

Bible threw light on this matter last Saturday while I was preparing a message to be given for the night prayer.

"Tell the Israelis ….. to the land of Canaan, they are to drive out all the inhabitants of the land and destroy all their idols and their molten images. You are to demolish all their high places,  take possession of the land, and live in it, because I've given you the land to inherit.  "But if you fail to drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, their survivors will become irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, to prick your sides and afflict you in the very land in which you'll be living.  Then, what I had planned to do to them, I'll start to do to you." Num 33:51-53,55-56

How to inherit the land? By removing the inhabitants – the territorial spirits (not human beings) which are ruling over the land. This is the first and foremost duty of a believer wherever he/she goes to settle down. If they fail to do so, the survivors will trouble them. God’s anger also will be upon them! 

The surviving spirits- those which we fail to drive out will torment & afflict us our eyes and sides like thorns!.

Since we fail to do our duty, God’s punishment will be upon His children too! Since believers are not taught in spiritual warfare, they compromise with the demonic powers (Lk 14:31). This invokes Lord’s punishment on them!

Advent: Jesus Is Coming, and This Time It's Different

TV commercials, radio stations, and shopping malls are all proclaiming that it's the Christmas season! But actually, it isn't.

Last Sunday, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, in churches all around the world, the Gospel reading was Matthew 25:31-46. The passage opens with words that should make our hearts soar, or, perhaps, shiver with dread: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats."

As the passage makes clear, Christ's second coming will be very different from his first. He will return in glory, not obscurity. He will return as the King of the Universe, not as a nobody in an obscure corner of the Roman Empire. And this time, He will do the judging. This, and not shopping, or who saw whom kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe, is what we're supposed to be thinking about these next four weeks, the season known as Advent. Now if you're wondering, "Wait, isn't this the Christmas season?" the answer is, well, "no." Of course, we wouldn't know that from watching television, where some networks have been running "Christmas" movies--none of which ever mention Jesus--since late October.

Beginning Sunday, December 3rd through Christmas Eve, many Christian traditions celebrate the season of Advent. The word "Advent" comes from the Latin word adventus meaning "come to." Thus, Advent is the season Christians anticipate the celebration of God's coming to live and die as one of us. And to better appreciate the immensity of that gift, we are to put ourselves in the place of ancient Israel which yearned for the promised Messiah who would set things right. One of the ways to do this is through hymns. The ancient Advent carol "Creator of the Stars of Night," which dates from the 7th century, expresses this Old Testament yearning in a way that has literally stood the test of time. "Thou, grieving that the ancient curse/ Should doom to death a universe/ Hast found the medicine, full of grace/ To save and heal a ruined race," the hymn reads.

The "medicine" required to "save and heal a ruined race" was Jesus, as Paul told the Philippians, emptying himself and becoming obedient to death.

But that's not the entire story. We also sing "At Whose dread Name, majestic now/ All knees must bend, all hearts must bow/ And things celestial Thee shall own/ And things terrestrial, Lord alone."

That's because Advent is not only a time of anticipating Christ's first coming but also anticipating the next and final time Jesus comes to Earth. And, I repeat, this coming will be very different from the first: The same Jesus who was born in Bethlehem during the reign of Caesar Augustus will return as the "judge of the living and the dead," and "his kingdom will have no end." This makes Advent not only a time of reflection, but also a time of repentance. This season is a time to examine our lives and ask ourselves whether we are sheep or goats. Are we living, as Paul wrote to the Corinthians, for ourselves or for Him who died for us and rose again?

Training Disciples

Jesus gave the great commission of Training  the disciples. Today every minister of God highlights “discipleship”. Still India seems to be dry and poor in discipling.  The reason may vary from generation to generation,  ministry to ministry but we can make some generalizations from our experience. This article is a humble search into this matter along with the Holy Spirit  and answer received in prayer. I am privileged to share it with my beloved brothers and sisters especially who stand with me in  the warfare.

Mat 28:19-20 Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you.

In the International Standard Version of the Bible we read it this way,

Mat 28:19-20 Therefore, as you go, disciple people in all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to obey everything that I've commanded you.

“disciple people” in all nations is the command given by Jesus.

Let us meditate on how Jesus trained  his disciples

Selection of disciples

How did he select his disciples?

Lk 6:12-13  Now it was in those days that Jesus went to a mountain to pray, and he spent the whole night in prayer to God.   When daylight came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also called apostles:

Jesus was about to choose his disciples for the ministry, Instead of breaking his head with his 30 years of carpentry experience and human knowledge in this world,  Jesus went to pray the whole night.

Night prayer gives you uninterrupted  long time to  be with  the heavenly  Father. Recruitment of disciples was  made by the  Father and training work only was given to Jesus. When the training was completed, when Jesus was about to be handed over to death He  handed His disciples  over to the  Father again. (Jn 17:10-26) The heavenly Father in turn poured His Spirit upon them and anointed them for the ministry. After that the  Holy Spirit took over.

Jn 6:45  It is written in the prophets, 'And all of them will be taught by God.' Everyone who has listened to the Father and has learned anything comes to me.

There was perfect understanding between Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All the three persons in the Trinity work together in the ministry.

The Heavenly Father does only the  recruitment. After selection they come to Jesus. The Holy Spirit arranges and facilitates the work of training. i.e. provides co-workers, finance, assigns places, etc. 

It is your responsibility to train them up.

Training of disciples

Jesus trained them in 2 ways.

By teaching them

By sending them with authority to do practical

Kidnappings, Threats of Massacre Terrorize Christians in Kano State, Nigeria

When the 50-year-old church elder and leader of Kano state’s Samaila village heard gunshots shortly before midnight, he rushed out of his house to try to find security agents. It was a natural reaction for Mai’angwa Samaila, given recent Islamist attacks in northern Nigeria. What the elder for the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) did not know was that the armed Islamic extremists, having killed two Christians in front of their Catholic church building, were coming for him next.

Not finding him at home that night (Aug. 15), they instead kidnapped his wife, Safiya Samaila, 45. They then kidnapped two other women, 20-year-old Yaha Gabriel and Hauwa Bebi, 18, both members of the St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Samaila, in Tudun Wada Local Government Area (LGA). Such kidnappings, along with threats of massacres by Islamic extremists, are continuing with the approval of some state officials in a concerted effort to eliminate Christianity, church leaders said. 

“As the shooting and capturing of the women was going on, some residents in our village rushed to the Catholic church and rang the church’s bell, alerting others on the attack on the village,” he said. “This forced the armed Muslim men to beat a retreat. This saved so many lives that would have perished during the attack.”  As the gunmen retreated, they shot at those who had run to the church building, Samaila said.

“We believe that Christian communities here are being persecuted because of our faith,” he said. “The government is aware about such invasions of Christian communities but has not done anything to put an end to the menace. The sad thing is that it is only Christians that are being killed or kidnapped in our area, as there was never any Muslim community attacked or a Muslim kidnapped.”

Death Threats

Morning Star News found that kidnappings of Christians in the Tudun Wada area have forced many Christians to flee, while many others continue to receive text messages and letters threatening massacres in their villages if no payments are made to kidnappers.

“Even yesterday [Nov. 21], the gunmen again sent a letter to me saying they were not yet done with me,” he said. “They stated in the letter that I should keep aside 3 million naira [US$8,253] for them, as they’ll be coming for the money at any time, and that failure on my part to give them the money would mean death for me.” Sallau said he had no money to give them. “I am prepared to die if that is the only price I have to pay for being a Christian,” he said.

State Conspiracy : The Rev. Ayuba Hassan of the ECWA Church, Tudun Wada Dankadai, and chairman of the Tudun Wada Local Area Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said that armed Muslims are carrying out attacks and kidnappings on Christians in order to force them to embrace Islam. “Christians here are being persecuted for refusing to embrace Islam,” he said. “We are constantly under attack. We are not allowed to freely worship as Christians. These kidnappings are aimed at forcing us to recant or make us run away from here so that they can take over our lands and expand Islam’s frontiers.” “These attacks are being instigated and supported by the agents of the Muslim-controlled Kano state government to force indigenous Hausa Christians, who we are, to embrace Islam,” he said. “Our refusal to do their biddings is what has made them adopt this strategy of kidnappings and attacks in order to force our people to tow their line. This is a jihad against the church of Jesus Christ.”

Kano state officials declined to speak with Morning Star News about attacks on Christians in the Tudun Wada LGA. The state police headquarters in Kano, a spokesman confirmed the attacks but declined to speak further, saying only that the cases are being investigated. Nigeria ranks 12th on Open Doors’ 2017 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution. Christians make up 51.3 percent of Nigeria’s population, while Muslims living primarily in the north and middle belt account for 45 percent.

Government Officials Break into Jiangxi Church,  Assault Elderly, and Vandalize Property

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on the morning of November 21, more than 100 government officers in uniform raided the Beimen (North Gate) Catholic Church in the city of Ji'an in Jiangxi Province. They tore religious posters, shattered religious icons and statues, and injured four elderly Catholics who were defending the church. These officers from City Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau, commonly known as Chengguan, are part of city management agencies responsible for handling daily aspects of urban life. They are notorious for their use of violence and capricious crackdowns. In this instance, they were employed to confiscate the church property, although they had no legal basis for doing so.  

Somali Muslims Break In, Beat Children of Christian Widow in Kenya

Hard-line Muslims on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya attacked a Christian widow’s children, ages 13, 17 and 21, leaving two of them seriously injured and still in pain 11 days after the assault, sources said. Hadiya (surname withheld), an immigrant from Somalia, had not yet returned from a trip to a funeral when the assailants of Somali descent broke into her home at a town (undisclosed for security reasons) outside of Nairobi, at 5:30 a.m. on Nov. 17. Hadiya’s 17-year-old daughter was asleep in her room, while the brothers (siblings’ names withheld for security reasons) were asleep in the front room, when the Muslim gang knocked on their door, the older brother told Morning Star News. The brothers asked who was at the door. Refusing to identify themselves, the Muslims smashed a window, the older brother said. “We have warned you several times to stop taking the children to church,” one shouted, he said. “You have become an embarrassment to our clan as well as the entire Muslim community. We are here today to finish you and your children.” Their sister began screaming as the assailants broke in through the window, and the three siblings tried to escape through the door, Hadiya said. The gang beat them so much that blood was found throughout the front room, a Christian neighbor told Morning Star News.

Neighbors soon arrived and rescued the three children. “We are living in great fear and experience sleepless nights,” she said. “It is not safe for us to stay in this particular place. We need prayers and financial help at this difficult moment.” Having fled Somalia more than 13 years ago after the death of her husband, Hadiya has eight children – two from remarriage, though her second husband recanted his Christian faith amid a wave of persecution and returned to Somalia in 2010.  She called for the government to offer protection. “We will not recant the Christian faith,” she said. “We will continue putting our faith in God.”

U.K. Raises Awareness of Persecuted Christians by Lighting Buildings up Red

On Nov. 22, the British Houses of Parliament and more than 30 churches and schools, mostly in the U.K., bathed their buildings in red light to bring attention to the worsening problem of Christian persecution around the world. The initiative was part of Red Wednesday—the second annual centerpiece of Aid to the Church in Need’s efforts to remember the most persecuted religious group in the world. Special services and vigils also were held throughout the week. Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) urged people to wear red, the color of martyrdom, and post photos on social media using the hashtag #RedWednesday. Speakers of the House of Commons and House of Lords agreed to participate in Red Wednesday after constituent pressure, according to ACN. “We all need to get behind #RedWednesday—we need to stand together against violence carried out in the name of religion—we need to speak up about regimes which persecute people of faith,” one citizen who lobbied his lawmaker told ACN. ACN’s Patricia Hatton told me that Red Wednesday is designed “to wake up the Christian community to the nature and scale of Christian persecution today, especially in the Middle East, and to call for prayer and practical support for all who need our help.”

YouTube Pulls Plug On Bible Videos

Videos promoting ISIS and violent jihad can be found on YouTube. So can those of the KKK, communists and antifa. But the Bible lessons and radio interviews posted on the personal channel of Carl Gallups, a popular pastor and author, can't. They've been censored by the Internet giant. Pulled down. Dropped.

According to Gallups, the channel was terminated over Thanksgiving weekend without explanation, even though there had been no "marks" against it and he rigorously followed the rules.It's not the first time a faith-focused or conservative-oriented channel has been censored by YouTube. At least three other major cases developed this year, against columnists Michelle Malkin, Michael Brown and Dennis Prager, all of whom have conservative views.

Nor is it the only time there's been a hint that the company is not fond of conservative thought. An undercover video by Project Veritas captured Earnest Pettie, the brand and diversity curation lead at YouTube, admitting he helped "push to the top" the videos of an editor for the left-leaning New York Times.

"In very rare cases, we will try to make up for the fact that something isn't in the trending tab," Pettie said. "We will, like, use some type of intervention ... to encourage the thing to be there."

He said "algorithms do control everything but sometimes you need humans to provide a check."

WND commentator Michael Brown said in August that 900 of his videos were demonetized.

"Debates I had with rabbis were flagged; powerful stories, like a Muslim woman being healed by Jesus, were flagged; videos where I answered questions like, ‘Should Christians Homeschool Their Children?' or ‘Did Jesus Claim to Be God?' were flagged, along with videos of spiritual encouragement (like the one encouraging believers to look to the Lord in the midst of chaos)," he said. "Teaching videos were flagged (like the one explaining that the preface to the King James Version of the Bible refutes King James Onlyism), along with motivational videos (like the one where I talked about how I lost 95 lbs.). All these were flagged, along with the many videos that focused on LGBT issues or radical Islam or politics. Seriously?"

U.K. Raises Awareness of Persecuted Christians by Lighting Buildings up Red

On Nov. 22, the British Houses of Parliament and more than 30 churches and schools, mostly in the U.K., bathed their buildings in red light to bring attention to the worsening problem of Christian persecution around the world. The initiative was part of Red Wednesday—the second annual centerpiece of Aid to the Church in Need’s efforts to remember the most persecuted religious group in the world.

Christians in Egypt Lose More Worship Sites

Fear of Islamist attacks was again cited as the cause of stopping worship in Egypt this month, even though parishioners said local Muslims supported the opening of the shuttered church outside Cairo, sources said. Anba Morcos, Coptic Orthodox bishop of Shobra El-Kheima, decided to close the Pope Kerlis VI and Archdeacon Habib Gerges church before Nov. 17 services after consulting with the governor of Qalyubia, who had warned of possible Islamist attacks, according to Egyptian newspaper Almasry Alyoum.

After Friday mosque attendance on Nov. 17, Muslim families gathered outside the closed Coptic Orthodox church building in Shobra El-Kheima, about 30 miles outside of Cairo, to show their support for it, an area Christian told Morning Star News.

Anti-Christian Hostilities

On Oct. 15, local police closed the Virgin Mary church in El-Sheik Alaa village, Minya, due to tensions with Islamists following a Christian’s attempt to open the church for worship. The church had been closed following Muslim extremists’ attacks in 2015, and since then it has never re-opened, according to Bishop Makarios’ statement. The same day the customary reconciliation session took place, area Muslims in Ezbit Zakaria, Minya city, stoned St. George church. A Coptic woman was injured, and police later brought control. On the same Sunday (Oct. 22) in El-Karm village, Abu Qurqas city, local police shut down Abu Sefeen church. On that occasion there was reportedly no sign of religious tensions or potential attacks. The same village last year witnessed one of the most severe Islamist attacks against Christians. Local extremists attacked and looted seven houses owned by Christians, and they assaulted an elderly Coptic woman, Soad Thabet, and stripped her clothes off in the streets.

Despite Law, State Department Misses Deadline to Name Religious Freedom Violators. The U.S. State Department often misses its deadline to release a list of the world’s worst violators of religious freedom — or doesn’t release a list at all. This year, Congress had hoped to break it of the habit. In December, lawmakers passed a law mandating that the department name those “Countries of Particular Concern” within 90 days of releasing its International Religious Freedom report.

That report came out on Aug. 15, making Monday (Nov. 13) the deadline for the State Department. But there is still no list of CPCs, even though Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said religious freedom is a “human rights priority” for the Trump administration. The delay bothers some religious freedom watchdogs, including members of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, an independent, bipartisan body set up by Congress in 1998 to monitor the issue.

“Failing to designate CPCs tells the violators of religious freedom around the world that the United States is looking away,” USCIRF Chairman Daniel Mark said in a written statement.

The Countries of Particular Concern are a list of nations that violate religious freedom in a “systematic, ongoing, and egregious” way, according to USCIRF. USCIRF must provide its own list of recommended CPCs to the State Department by May 1, according to the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. The department does not always include all of the commission’s recommendations on its list — the one to which world leaders pay more careful attention. In April, USCIRF recommended 16 countries as Countries of Particular Concern, including North Korea, China and, for the first time in the history of the list, Russia. The commission noted in its report that in 2016, Russia has passed a new law “effectively criminalizing all private religious speech not sanctioned by the state,” all but banned Jehovah’s Witnesses and tried Muslims “on fabricated charges of terrorism and extremism.”

Watchdogs had hoped the Frank R. Wolf International Religious Freedom Act passed last year would prod the State Department to release its list sooner, Mark told RNS, “but they did miss the deadline.” The act, named for the Republican former congressman who made international religious freedom one of his signature issues, also requires the White House, for the first time this year, to name “Entities of Particular Concern,” in addition to CPCs. USCIRF recommended that list include the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the Taliban and al-Shabab.

That new requirement may be what’s holding up the State Department’s list: The White House has not yet delegated authority to the State Department to name Entities of Particular Concern, as it has with the CPCs. That’s what Ambassador Michael Kozak, senior adviser to the U.S. Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, said during a briefing on religious freedom streamed Wednesday on the U.S. Helsinki Commission’s Facebook page.

“People like to think this is due to some titanic bureaucratic battle going on, but it tends to be more mundane stuff,” Kozak said. A State Department official told RNS in an email Friday that those designations would be released soon and reiterated that religious freedom is a priority to the Trump administration. The official did not comment on why the list was delayed. Mark said there has not been much reaction to the missed deadline, as few Americans, even those concerned about religious freedom, are aware of the new law aiming to get the CPC list released faster.

Pray for the Persecuted Church-Abroad and at Home

Sunday, November 5 and Sunday, November 12, 2017, have been designated as the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Moore said, "There were 2000 graduates to this Bible school…and yet, before they got their diploma and a bicycle and a one-way train ticket to an unreached place of their choice, they had an extra step. They had to actually stand up and take a ‘martyr's oath.’ They had to pledge that if they had to die for their faith, they would be willing to die for their faith." “I AM A FOLLLOWER OF JESUS. I believe he lived and walked among us, was crucified for our sins, and was raised from the dead, according to the Scriptures,” begins the “Martyr’s Oath,” which Moore includes in the appendix of his book. This is the same type of pledge that the Indian bishop administered. The oath continues, “I believe he is the King of the earth, who will come back for his church….As he has given his life for me, so I am willing to give my life for him. I will use every breath I possess to boldly proclaim his gospel.”  Moore reflected on how this struck him at the time: "Here I was, a sheltered American, never having been exposed to such a thing; and all of a sudden, I was in the heart of the persecuted church. And I felt like I was standing in the book of Acts." He notes that persecution of Christians has often been the norm in history, not the exception.

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

Mark 7:22  The spirit of foolishness

“I am a sinful man”

During the trainings, the participants come for interviews and personal counselling. In one such incident, one doctor, a gynaecologist, came to meet me for 5 minutes. She was in tears and was wiping it throughout. “all these three days I feel like crying!.  I could not control my tears. I accepted Jesus three years back. All these years I thought I knew something about Bible and about Jesus. But now I feel I knew nothing and   I am far away from Him”

As we approach God closer and closer, the more we realize our wretchedness and worthlessness.

 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus' knees and said, "Leave me, Lord! I am a sinful man!" Lk 5:8 

Those who talk more about themselves and take pride in their achievements,  know very little about God. Knowing more about His majesty, power, might, sovereignty, supremacy is the real invention of a man in this world. Taking time  to watch & enjoy the sweetness and innocence of a child, the beauty of a blossoming flower, the way the seeds are arrayed inside a pomegranate, the triangular snow covered top of a mountain, the appearance of countless stars in the sky at night,   might help one realise the  beauty and omniscience of God.

The “big catch” experience of Peter  made him commit his life to follow Jesus  and led him to a death on the cross upside down.

What is your experience of Jesus? What led you become a believer?

“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 IS THE MESSAGE GIVEN BY THE LORD TO HIS CHILDREN ON THE FUTURE OF INDIA (V. 18-25)

Scary China Citizen Loyalty Score To Determine Privilege

At the root of the problem is the philosophy behind the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward so many decades ago. In its attempt to reshape Chinese society into a Communist utopia that would sweep away all the old oppressive structures, to be replaced only by the Party, the traditional sources of values and trust were weakened or destroyed. Religion, family and community organizations were all torn down and replaced with the machinery of the State. But the State was not loving and did not build relationships. Corruption and abuse in government officials only amplified a problem that had festered deep in a culture that had stripped away its own moral values. The Citizen Score is social control taken to levels that even Orwell never imagined. Disagree with the party, push for greater freedom of speech, freedom to worship or a more open Internet, and your score will suffer. The interest rates you get offered on loans will rise and the jobs you want will suddenly become unavailable. If the score drops low enough, you can be blocked from buying plane, train or bus tickets. Drop even lower and your bank accounts may be frozen, your social media accounts cut off and your email restricted.

Police records, bank data, traffic violations, educational histories, personal communication, purchases you make online and videos you watch are only just part. Your score can be affected by those linked to you in your social circle. Associate in person or online with someone who has a low Citizen Score and your score will suffer as well. Toe the party line, inform on your neighbors and you may see your score rise a few points. The system represents the ultimate goal of any totalitarian regime and for the Chinese Communist Party, obsessed with control, realizing the Social Credit system would bring it measurably closer to its version of utopia.But the plan is not without its challenges. Implementing such a system for 1.3 billion people is an immense technological challenge and the algorithms that adjust the scores run the risk of being subjective in a way that unbalances the system or bring negative public opinion.

When the Citizen Score becomes compulsory in 2020, there may be no escaping its hold or reach and no end in sight. If applied subtly enough, it can bend and shape every Chinese into an obedient servant of the State.The penalties for "breaking trust" may be small at first as they act as incentives to obey, but at their full application they can turn all of China into a prison for entire classes of people. For the Chinese Community Party, this may be the harmonious utopia it has always lusted after, but for the human beings living under its thumb, the Citizen Loyalty Score could be the worst dystopia for individual freedom imaginable.

Despite Law, State Department Misses Deadline to Name Religious Freedom Violators

The U.S. State Department often misses its deadline to release a list of the world’s worst violators of religious freedom — or doesn’t release a list at all. This year, Congress had hoped to break it of the habit. In December, lawmakers passed a law mandating that the department name those “Countries of Particular Concern” within 90 days of releasing its International Religious Freedom report. That report came out on Aug. 15, making Monday (Nov. 13) the deadline for the State Department. But there is still no list of CPCs, even though Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said religious freedom is a “human rights priority” for the Trump administration.

“I suspect it’s also balanced by the fact that the administration has been doing good things (on the issue). There is some leeway and benefit of the doubt being given,” said Mark, who was appointed to the commission by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis. But, the chairman added, “I think if we get to the end of 2017 and this hasn’t been done, I think people will be disappointed and frustrated and will begin to worry if there’s something problematic going on in the background.”

Chinese Christians Forced to Replace Posters of Jesus with President Xi

Christians in a village in southeastern China have reportedly been asked to replace their posters of Jesus Christ with posters and photos of Chinese President Xi Jinping if they want relief from poverty and illness. According to the South China Morning Post, Chinese government officials are encouraging the change. Xi has publicly said that he is working to end poverty by 2020. That work includes government visits to Christian families to encourage them to follow the Communist Party policies and solve their problems. "Many poor households have plunged into poverty because of illness in the family. Some resorted to believing in Jesus to cure their illnesses,” said Qi Yan, chairman of the Huangjinbu people’s congress."But we tried to tell them that getting ill is a physical thing and that the people who can really help them are the Communist Party and General Secretary Xi,” he added.

The Huangjinbu township gave more than 1,000 portraits of Xi to families.Officials deny that they suggested religious icons would need to be removed. But residents have said that officials are calling for the removal of religious artifacts."They all have their belief and, of course, they didn't want to take them down. But there is no way out. If they don't agree to do so, they won't be given their quota from the poverty-relief fund," the resident said. In October, Xi secured his rule for another term after the National Party Congress did not select a successor to Xi.

Indian Christians Accused of Kidnapping, Forced Conversion

A court allowed seven Christian children in India to return to their families a week after Hindu radicals falsely accused their chaperones of kidnapping them to forcibly convert them. It was the third situation of its kind in Madhya Pradesh state since May. The children and adults were traveling to Mumbai for a Christian event when extremists intervened, beat them, and accused the caretakers of kidnapping, The Indian Express reported. Forced conversion is a crime in the state. Police took the Christians into custody. Parents provided baptism certificates proving the children were Christians already, and the state’s high court authorized their return. Two female chaperones remain accused and jailed, UCA News reported. Several Christians accused of the same crimes in a nearby town in May were released on bail but await prosecution, according to International Christian Concern (ICC). ICC’s William Stark said the accusations not only cause direct harm but also are “definitely having a chilling effect on the church itself” because many Christians are afraid even to attend church. Complaints aren’t only being directed at Christians when they travel. An India-based attorney who works with Alliance Defending Freedom told UCA News that Hindus falsely accused Christians in Madhya Pradesh of forcibly converting people at least 27 times this year.

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  18:2   The spirit in a fool who takes delight in expressing his own heart

Guard it night and day!

The other day one sister called me and asked me to pray for her. She said, “Whenever I pray the Lord speaks to me and answers me. But for the past few days I cannot hear His voice, nor do I  sense His presence within me. I fear whether he is angry with me?”

When we prayed for her, the answer came like this:

“I, the LORD, watch over it And I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can harm it.  I am not angry. If only the vineyard could give me briers and thorns to battle, I would march against it, and I would burn it all up.” Isa 27:3-4 

How amazing is His protective love towards His creation! Not even  doctors can protect their  own children night and day!

Dearly beloved! God loves you! He is not angry with you! The common image people have about God is ‘He is a terrifying authoritative punisher of offenses’! How sad! His love towards each and everyone is so tender and  sweeter than anybody’s love in this world!

Today I attended the funeral of a 5 months old baby! Before burying it, while the  father took the body in his hand to  kissed it,  his whole body shivered and the sigh that came from him moved  all the people there. Even though he loved his child so much, he could not arrest the child’s death!

The Almighty  Father  who created you and me guard us day and night, 24 hours of the day. Nothing can harm us, damage us, arrest us, stand against us or block our ways without His prior permission!

May God make us live in this awareness and relationship every day!

Scary China Citizen Loyalty Score to Determine Privilege

China has already implemented its Citizen Score on a voluntary basis but this month government officials released details about how the program will operate in 2020 when it becomes compulsory for all Chinese citizens. For those who may be curious, think of the Citizen Score, sometimes referred to as a trust score, as akin to a credit score but one that encompasses every conceivable aspect of one's life. Buy video games and your score drops because the government assumes you are idle, buy diapers and it rises because you seem more stable.

Get a traffic ticket or speak out about the government, and your score drops, but earn a degree or support the Party and your score might rise. Miss paying your bills or don't support your parents and your score will suffer. Read books that the party doesn't deem ideologically sound or watch foreign movies, and your score will take a hit. China has spent years integrating its digital surveillance infrastructure so that it can connect every aspect of its citizen's lives. Compliance with the Communist Party, by individuals and businesses alike, can now be rated quantitatively on a scale through secret algorithms that constantly monitor thousands of behaviors. And the Citizen Score matters.

For a Chinese citizen, it determines what schools and universities will accept him, what jobs he can apply for, the interest rate and availability of loans and it is even being used to determine if someone is fit for dating.

The system was first outlined in a 2014 document entitled "Planning Outline for the Construction of a Social Credit System" and it came in response to an appalling number of scams, governmental corruption and sporadic violent reactions by citizens to abuses of power.  The Social Credit system promises to solve both problems as it attempts to blacklist with low trust score those Chinese responsible for swindling their comrades and allows the central government to keep tight control on any dissent in the citizenry.

Muslim Fulani Herdsmen Ambush, Kill Nine Christians in Plateau State, Nigeria

Nine Christians were buried in north-central Nigeria yesterday after Muslim Fulani herdsmen ambushed and killed them earlier this week, sources said. “We shall therefore overcome this season, as it is written, “weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning,” he said. A similar attack was carried out in the same area a few weeks ago, when a Christian woman and her son and a daughter were brutally killed by armed Muslim Fulani herdsmen who have been raiding Christian communities in the central Nigerian states of Plateau, Kaduna, Benue, Taraba and Niger. The chairman of the Riyom Council, Emmanuel Damboyi, called for the arrest of Fulani leaders in Riyom, according to Nigerian newspaper The Nation, as they had vowed to attack Berom communities due to the alleged killing of a missing Fulani boy. “Eleven people who were returning from a weekly village market of Makera were shot dead at about 7:30 p.m.,” he said. “No arrests yet, but investigations are ongoing, and we shall definitely get to the roots of this.” Christians make up 51.3 percent of Nigeria’s population, while Muslims living primarily in the north and middle belt account for 45 percent. Nigeria ranks 12th on Open Doors’ 2017 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution.

Christian Human Rights Lawyer Gao Zhisheng Escaped, Recaptured

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that, with the help of two friends, Chinese Christian human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng escaped in August from his home in Shaanxi, where he was under house arrest. For 23 days, he hid in a vacation house in Jiexiu city in neighboring province, until Shaanxi police mobilized a large number of officers to cross the border and recapture him. While his friends were detained, Gao vanished again and now is believed to be under police custody in Beijing. One of his friends who assisted with the rescue, Mr. Li Fawang, was released on October 26 with bail pending trial. Four days later, he reached out to his reporter friend to recount how they successfully brought Gao out and give details of subsequent development. Gao's wife Geng He expressed her concern on Twitter earlier today, "Waiting, waiting...Finally the 19th Party Congress is over, yet we still have no news of Gao Zhisheng."

Pray for the Persecuted Church---Abroad and at Home

Sunday, November 5 and Sunday, November 12, 2017, have been designated as the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. I planned to write about this topic and focus on anti-Christian persecution overseas at this time. And then came this tragedy---the mass shooting in a church in Texas, killing 26 and wounding 20 on Sunday. The killer was described as one who “preached atheism” and “hated religious people.” Of course, killing Christians just because they are Christians is the exception in America. However, in about sixty countries on earth, for millions of professing Christians, it is dangerous to be a practicing believer in Jesus, yet God is using Christian martyrdom to grow the church. "We are witnessing an astonishing escalation in Christian persecution, like we have rarely seen since the first century," writes Johnnie Moore in his new book called The Martyr’s Oath: Living for the Jesus They’re Willing to Die For. Johnnie wrote a book a few years ago that was a bestseller, called Defying ISIS. After writing that first book, he was able to raise $25 million on behalf of the persecuted church. In a radio interview with him about his new book, Moore told me he got involved in this because, as a college student at Liberty University, he witnessed an unusual (to him) graduation ceremony in India.

Moore said, "There were 2000 graduates to this Bible school…and yet, before they got their diploma and a bicycle and a one-way train ticket to an unreached place of their choice, they had an extra step. They had to actually stand up and take a ‘martyr's oath.’ They had to pledge that if they had to die for their faith, they would be willing to die for their faith." “I AM A FOLLLOWER OF JESUS. I believe he lived and walked among us, was crucified for our sins, and was raised from the dead, according to the Scriptures,” begins the “Martyr’s Oath,” which Moore includes in the appendix of his book. This is the same type of pledge that the Indian bishop administered. The oath continues, “I believe he is the King of the earth, who will come back for his church….As he has given his life for me, so I am willing to give my life for him. I will use every breath I possess to boldly proclaim his gospel.” Moore reflected on how this struck him at the time: "Here I was, a sheltered American, never having been exposed to such a thing; and all of a sudden, I was in the heart of the persecuted church. And I felt like I was standing in the book of Acts." He notes that persecution of Christians has often been the norm in history, not the exception.

Moore told of a Muslim couple that converted to Jesus and left Syria for a neighboring country. One of their relatives wrote, saying he knew what they had done (leaving Islam), and he knew where they lived. When he caught up with them, he would crucify them, unless they changed back. Moore said the couple wrote back to the relative, answering that they were glad to know Jesus and were willing to die for Him—but that they were not worthy to die in the same manner as He did.

Decade after Church Burnings in Nigeria, Officials Forbid Rebuilding

A decade after Muslims attacked and displaced Christians in a town in northern Nigeria, Kano state officials have forbidden church buildings to be rebuilt there, sources said. Eight church buildings destroyed in late September 2007 in predominantly Muslim Tudun Wada Dankadai, Kano state, are still in ruins, a Morning Star News correspondent observed earlier this month.

The buildings of St. Mary’s Catholic, Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Baptist, Assemblies of God, Charismatic Renewal, Mountain of Fire and Miracle and Deeper Christian Life Bible churches, along with that of another  church, have not been rebuilt because local Muslims have refused to allow it, Joseph Opeyemi Ibinkule, a 42-year-old a Christian resident of Tudun Wada Dankadai, told Morning Star News. “Christians who have braved it and returned after the attacks in 2007 have no worship buildings up to today,” Ibinkule said. “The reason is that the government of Kano state has banned us from rebuilding our churches.”  No pastor lives in the town, he said, and only a few come to lead services to a smattering of church members in the hostile environment. “These are the ECWA pastor and the Catholic priest,” he said. “Both of live in the city of Kano and only come to conduct services under trees for their members.”

China Deports Hundreds of South Korean Christians for Helping Persecuted North Koreans

China’s government is not only cracking down on its own Christian citizens, it is also targeting South Koreans who are in the country and allegedly helped persecuted North Koreans who escaped Kim Jong-un’s oppressive regime. According to The Christian Post, the Chinese provinces of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang have together deported hundreds of South Korean Christians who are evangelizing and engaging in missionary work. In the province of Jilin, all South Korean churches have reportedly been closed due to China's campaign to “eradicate extremism.” Christians who continue to participate in unauthorized religious activities can face up to $45,200 in fines and possible arrest and imprisonment.

According to Bob Fu, the founder and president of China Aid, a ministry which seeks to help persecuted Chinese Christians, "the top leadership is increasingly worried about the rapid growth of Christian faith and their public presence, and their social influence. It is a political fear for the Communist Party, as the number of Christians in the country far outnumber the members of the Party." China’s president Xi Jinping, who is commissioning the crackdown on Christians, is becoming more and more powerful. Last month, the Communist Party in China voted to enshrine Xi’s name in its constitution in order to ensure his legacy.

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

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

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.

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

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 perfume. Jn 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.

“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”

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.

2. Institutional discrimination, such as difficulties obtaining building permits to construct or repair Christian churches.

3. Employment discrimination, such as bias against Copts in the Egyptian military and public sectors.

4. Legal discrimination: denying Christians and other religious groups access to the courts, legal representation, or action by police when they are attacked.

5. Suppression of Christian missionary activity, as in Iran, where missionaries are routinely arrested and deported or incarcerated.

6. 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.

7. Forced conversion from Christianity, sometimes involving “reconversion” ceremonies where Christians are made to embrace the religion they left for Christ.

8. Suppression of corporate worship, as when authorities in China or Saudi Arabia raid house churches.

9. Violence against individuals, the most common and most lethal form of the global war on Christians.

10. 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."

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?

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 Shet. Numbers 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.

Archaeologists Uncover Evidence of Fulfilled Jerusalem Prophecies—Including Isaiah 37:33

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!

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 

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

Climbing 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.

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!
