 Christian Persecution NEWS 

Israel & Persecution In Beijing

340 million Christians – one in eight – face high levels of persecution and discrimination

Ecclesiastes 3:8

“A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” 

King James Version (KJV)

 

Christian persecution is in the news again. Here are some of the things that I am bringing to your attention. Christians are being affected heavily. A pasture in Alberta was arrested for having Church service. However he is not the first or probably the last.

David Lynn is back in the news and he is being persecuted. Please please pray for people being your brothers and sisters in Christ. Such people need your support.

Alberta pastor James Coats who defied COVID-19 rules refuses bail conditions, remains in custody. Story here / CTV news here.

There’s been persecution in the news of a church and the democratic republic of Congo as 16 dead reported. They say the raid happen on February 14, 2021 when terrorist  attacked the eastern part of the country of Africa. They report since May 20,20 600 people have been killed. They suspect many were Christians.

Now recently I came across this reporting and “they” get right into it. Were there or close to. There is a cross to bear just as Ruben Israel made the point in his show on persecution. In fact as Jesus said if you’re not willing to bear your cross you’re not worthy of him. Luke 14:27  Of course we’re going to have Christians that say that bearing the cross would be works salvation. I guess it was work salvation for the apostles least for the martyrs of Jesus Christ. (Being sarcastic). You see I think that’s nonsense. Pray for each other daily. Obey the gospel. Keep your mind on the Lord and not on the carnal world. God is the judge for the heart. “I send you out amongst wolves”.

Hope peace would not be sacrificed. How will this end. Well according to Johns visions in revelation not well. Pray people. Pray for the leaders of the world and that God sends labor’s into the field.

 

 

We always hear about those nations developing nuclear weapons in the news and about the enrichment of uranium. Israel gets attacked and that’s not good news. Pray! Why would this be troubling or important news for Christians let alone for other people as well as non-believers. Because the word of God tells us in the book of revelation of a war so great unlike anything man has ever seen. They referred/refer to it as Armageddon. I believe it was apostle John who had the “vision”

written in revelation. See link (@). Anyways man will come close to almost wiping himself off the face of the earth but God steps in at some point. The Bible talks about the great Day of the Lord.      9:44 am today    

“A lot of Christians think getting banned on Facebook or being called a name is persecution. Christians in other countries are losing their lives for the Gospel but here in America we aren't willing to lose anything for the sake of the Gospel and we call that persecution.” Rubin Israel 

Remember there are/have been Americans (not just Americans) also in other countries preaching the gospel or even missionaries over the centuries to date who have been persecuted or are being persecuted. Many have lost their lives. Their labor is NOT in vain. 

David Lynn is back in the news and he seems to be/being persecuted. I would ask for people to pray for him. He has been accused of something that he says he has nothing to do with. There is a rebellion to God’s word. During these trials and tribulations instead of people turning away from sin and turning to the gospel there’s a rebellion and falling away.

 

Erin Coates, wife of arrested Canadian pastor James Coates, graciously agreed to do an interview and talk about what they are going through.

“After her interview, I have included her husband's sermon on Romans 13 as well as the sermon preached by Associate Pastor Jacob Spenst on the first Sunday of James incarceration. Sermon by James Coates on Romans 13 - 00:52:05​ Sermon by Jacob Spenst on Philippians 1:26​-30 - 01:54:56​“

Is this considered persecution? Yes of course it’s unfortunate. Well there is a pandemic and people shouldn’t be hypocrites. At the same time I find it odd that people would have liquor stores still open. Oh yeah they need to do legalized drugs but they don’t need Christ. There are forms of legalize drugs today but Alcohol causes drunk drivers to crash and murder other people too. Also abortion clinics are still open and are still murdering babies. They might not think that God doesn’t see and that it doesn’t anger him but it really does. So you wonder why your loving God would create some thing called hell. He tells us in his word we must love him with all our heart mind and soul. Men take counsel against the Lord.

Psalm 1:2-3 “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”

There is an update tonight on persecution of believers in the world

They thought they'd be safe at a church. 
Then the soldiers arrived

By Bethlehem Feleke, Eliza Mackintosh, Gianluca Mezzofiore and Katie Polglase

Reported on CNN Updated 6:32 PM ET, Fri February 26, 2021

 

“Abraham began burying the bodies in the morning and didn't stop until nightfall.”

“The corpses, some dressed in white church robes drenched in blood, were scattered in arid fields, scrubby farmlands and a dry riverbed. Others had been shot on their doorsteps with their hands bound with belts. Among the dead were priests, old men, women, entire families and a group of more than 20 Sunday school children, some as young as 14, according to eyewitnesses, parents and their teacher.” The story is reported on CNN

Christian persecution rises as people refused aid in Covid crisis – report

“Persecution of Christians around the world has increased during the Covid pandemic, with followers being refused aid in many countries, authoritarian governments stepping up surveillance, and Islamic militants exploiting the crisis, a report says.

More than 340 million Christians – one in eight – face high levels of persecution and discrimination because of their faith, according to the 2021 World Watch List compiled by the Christian advocacy group Open Doors.” Story HERE

“I knew I was going to die and go to Heaven. My only aim was to meet Jesus.”

How many are deceived regardless. The devil deceived the whole world. Remember Revelation 12:9 John 3:16 Amen / Meanwhile there are so many selfish people in life. Even in persecution they find strength and sometimes the peace of Christ that is beyond all understanding.  

(Romans 8.35 KJV)  " Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. " 

 

“I didn’t take anything negatively,” she shares. “I began to think, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. So I thought to myself, I can.”

Today, almost two years later, Rebekah continues to sing—and pursue her faith. She asks us to pray for her in that. Philippians 4:13

 

“I need to draw closer to Jesus,” she says, “so pray for that for me.” Read the full story testimony on open door. Dedication song I chose here

Stories of Christian persecution 2014

This testimony is pretty heavy. He talked about Helen. The beatings that she incurred. She was thrown into a metal container for two years. She was told to recant Jesus Christ and she did not. Listen to the testimony it is chilling. In persecution the faith is tested. Please pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Please help them in anyway that you can. Stop thinking about yourself ONLY. Open door 

Christian persecution for US citizens 

could come quicker than you think.

Interesting Show above. The world is a big and complex place. In a sense we can’t jump to conclusions. But the seeds that are being sown are certainly not the seeds of Christ. But don’t jump to conclusions. But don’t be blind as well. Remember blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the earth.
