Chinese Province Forces Believers to Apply Online to Attend Church

 link   https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/christopher-eyte/chinese-province-forces-believers-to-apply-online-to-attend-church.html

A crackdown on spiritual activities is forcing Chinese Christians in the Henan province to apply online for permission to attend church.

The ‘Smart Religion’ requirements app created by the Henan provincial religious department does not have a legal basis, China Aid reports. There has been a drop in numbers attending churches because of the introduced measures.

Henan has a large Christian population, and believers must now register and make appointments for any religious activity via the ‘Smart Religion’ application. It was created by the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Commission of Henan Province. Muslims and other religions have also been affected by the same controlling directive.

According to China Aid, those registering first need to choose the intended religious venue and no key search words are allowed, such as ‘Christianity’ or ‘Catholicism.’

Personal information is then inputted to make a reservation: name, date of birth, phone number, ID number, permanent residence, and occupation. Church attendees must also give a reservation code and have their bodily temperature checked. Older people would be guided by officials in using the mobile phone application.

Do we truly think that this can't happen in the USA?

This in fact did already happen here as a trial run... 

Do you remember the approximate 2-year fiasco and shut downs that happen during the Corona Virus plan-demic?   Many believe this was a trial run and many believe this will soon happen again.

And what if it were to happen again?

We saw what happen!

We saw how people reacted.. 

We  saw how neighbor fought against neighbor... 

We experienced the inconsistencies and the bad and dishonest governing bodies literally creating rules and laws out of thin air -  for the sake of the "greater good".  

Church services were relegated to Zoom meetings ... and many were satisfied with that.  Threats and arrests were made.

Singing hymns was discouraged... Gathering and worship congregations discouraged while violent and disruptive leftist protests were encouraged.... 

The next time around will be better?... You think?

Pray so that you'll be able to stand in the evil day.

Who wants to be popular??

 

Because we're living in the last days, and the apostacy is so great, people - even those who call themselves by God's name are ignorant concerning truth and true worship of God. They don't truly know their Bibles, and because of this, they have no power over sin, they're not assembling in a local church; they don't have power, joy or love in their lives, and many are only fooling themselves w/ religion.

They don't see the importance of separating themselves from the world and/or don't know how to separate from the world.

I'm constantly mocked about having low numbers of subscribers and followers on my social media outlets but I'm never discouraged.

I've early on determined that this thing I do (which I recently recognized as a Gospel ministry) isn't about ME; it's not about making friends or increasing the numbers of followers, it's about speaking up for truth in a culture where speaking up is discouraged, and soon to be outlawed.

My message isn't one of popularity and prosperity nor even a pleasant message. It's more like a call to sacrifice yourself - which is the double-edged sword of Biblical truth. Christ's call to salvation means NEW BIRTH but only at the cost of DYING TO SELF.


As Americans we're losing our Constitutional rights and even now, many people can't see this happening.

I'm doing my part so that when that time comes, it'll help to at least say, "I knew it!" rather than, "What on earth is going on here?!"....

The latter expression would be too great a regret for me to tolerate!

So I rather be that watchman on the wall in Ezekiel 33 warning people because I see so many asleep and distracted.

That distraction is how Satan operates! Satan and his worldly system puts people to sleep this way and then comes the rude awakening.

Those who name the name of Christ must wake up and mature fast b/c the days are evil, and the Christian walk is that of war... not only for self but for others.

Christian joy is recognized in knowing that Christ has already conquered and because He has conquered, we too will conquer. But it's understanding and believing this WHILE WE'RE IN THE WAR which is never easy.

We need spiritual reinforcements for ourselves and for others and those can only be obtained by much prayer, fasting, and meditation. This is what abiding in Christ is all about.

Who can stand?
Only the person who has built their house on the Rock that is Christ.

If you want to know more on this light and truth, contact me in total confidence.

Christian, get to a local congregation, serve your brethren and neighbors (which is true worship in spirit and truth as well as the commandment of Christ), and worship daily in The Lord and grow spiritually.

God bless you!

Uganda: Christian brother murdered by Muslims

 

(curtesy Christian headlines.com)

NAIROBI, Kenya, January 11, 2023 (Morning Star News) – A 37-year-old father of four was killed on Jan. 2 after participating in a Christian-Muslim debate in eastern Uganda at which 13 Muslims put their faith in Christ, sources said.

This brother had been converted from the Muslim faith, and dedicated his life to bringing the truth of Christ to other Muslims.  Over 100 of them have converted to Christianity because of this brother's ministry, so this was the result.  

Consider the Word of God:

   10“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11[“For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

      12“What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? 13“If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14“So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish. - Matthew 18: 10-14 

This doesn't just apply to his referring to children as the ones brought to Christ for Him to bless but that the character of those in Heaven would be "such as these" (Matthew 19:14) (accepting, innocent, loving, joyful, peaceful, playful, etc.).  This is then compared to any one of these lost as sheep who Heaven rejoices over the others who are not lost. (another parallel: Luke 15:32 the prodigal son)

This brother, Ahamada Mafabi loved SO MUCH, he risked His life for the gospel of Christ.  He had a wife and four children.  He set out to find God's sheep, and found over 100 of them in a years time.  

Why?  Because there's nothing else but Christ that can bring true joy and peace.  When we feed off of the "Bread of life" and we drink from the "fountain of living water", there's no going back!  

The Apostle Peter said, "Where else can we go, you Lord have the words of eternal life!"  

How often don't we dispute and debate in religious circles in our country, here at home, without risk to our lives ... 

But in so many nations around the world, The Lord is bringing in souls CONSTANTLY to Him, in truth - and it's through people like Ahamada Matabi who The Holy Spirit indwells, and in love of the truth, obediently heralds The Gospel of the Kingdom.

"Repent, The Kingdom of Heaven

Is at hand" 

- Mark 1:15

Let's not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  For it is the power of God unto salvation for every one who believes (Romans 1:16)

Here's the rest of the article on our brother saint now in Heaven and support his family if you can.

Attacks on American Churches Have Increased 174 Percent (article)

 

Attacks on American Churches Have Increased 174 Percent Since 2018: New Report

Michael Foust | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Monday, December 19, 2022

The number of documented attacks on churches has steadily increased in recent months and years, with a dramatic uptick in 2022 in abortion-related vandalism related to the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, according to a landmark new report.

The report by the D.C.-based Family Research Council uncovered a total of 420 documented acts of hostility against 397 individual churches between January 2018 and September 2022. There were 50 in 2018, but that quickly increased to 83 in 2019, 96 in 2021 and 137 in 2022 (through September). There were 54 documented incidents of hostility against churches in 2020 – a decrease from the previous year that the report's authors attributed to the pandemic when much of the country was on lockdown or not traveling much.

The number of attacks on churches from 2018 to 2022 represents a 174 percent increase.

The report examined vandalism, arson, arson attempts and shootings. Most of the "acts of hostility" – 342 of the 420 – involved vandalism, the report said.

The report's findings mirror similar data by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which found an increase in anti-Christian hate crimes: from 172 in 2018 to 217 in 2019, to 240 in 2021.

"Criminal acts of vandalism and destruction of church property are likely symptomatic of a collapse in societal reverence and respect for houses of worship and religion – in this case, churches and Christianity," the report said. "Americans appear increasingly comfortable lashing out against church buildings, pointing to a larger societal problem of marginalizing core Christian beliefs, including those that touch on hot-button political issues related to human dignity and sexuality."

Many of the acts of hostility in 2022 involved abortion-related violence. The report found 57 instances that "were directly tied to pro-abortion protests or contained pro-abortion messages" during that year. For example, four Catholic churches in Wisconsin this summer were vandalized with pro-choice graffiti. By contrast, there were only five incidents of abortion-related attacks on churches between 2019 and 2021.

Arielle Del Turco, the report's author and the assistant director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, said the report's findings are troubling.

"The problem of acts of hostility against churches in the United States is widespread and growing," Del Turco said. "This is not a trend that should be shrugged off. When churches are targeted for acts of destruction, arson, or threatening messages, it has the potential to be intimidating – and sometimes, that's the intention. Within the past few years especially, outpourings of political anger have sometimes correlated with vandalism and other acts against churches. When faced with such blatant violence and disrespect against churches (and religion more broadly), our response must be to condemn these acts and reaffirm the right of all people to worship and live out their faith freely – including the freedom to live without fear that they will be the next target of such an attack."

Nigeria: 'Christians Are Being Killed every week!

'Christians Are Being Killed': Critics Outraged at Biden Admin as Murder and Terror Rage in Nigeria

Dec 7, 2022

Religious freedom advocates are "outraged" and confounded after the Biden administration again declined to add Nigeria to the U.S. Department of State's Countries of Particular Concern list, a designation targeting nations restricting or complicit in religious freedom violations. 

Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at persecution watchdog Christian Solidarity International (CSI), has been among those urging the State Department to reclassify Nigeria as a nation violating residents' religious liberty – but to no avail. Veldkamp told CBN's Faithwire the Biden administration's decision to ignore international outcry over the matter is stunning, particularly in light of the deadly assaults unfolding against Christians in Nigeria daily. 

"It's not an exaggeration," he said. "Every week, Christians are being killed in this country." Veldkamp shared how the release of the current Countries of Particular Concern was dropped on Friday afternoon, noting this is how "Washington killed news" by burying it at a time when fewer people are paying attention. Tragically, Veldkamp said he had spent the days before the release speaking with priests in Nigeria who witnessed and experienced the unthinkable. 

"Earlier in the week. I had talked to two different priests from two different states in Nigeria. Really one is in the middle of the country, and one is in the deep south of the country," he said. "One priest... had just visited a village where 20 Christians were killed the week before. He met a father who saw four of his children killed in front of his eyes." This same priest met another mother and father who lost one of their children and saw homes being burned. One of those interview subjects said, "I stood on the ashes of human beings." Watch Veldkamp explain the ordeal. (Curtesy CBN YouTube).

Saints please pray for our brethren in Nigeria!

1946 (The Movie)

 The Beast system is seen more in this area than anywhere else.  It's got people locked and incarcerated to false identities, and imprisoned in the futility of self-imposed deception.  But the light of Christ shines in the darkest places to save and lift up, and re-establish people to who God has truly called them to be.  Despite the lies of the world, Christ is still healing and saving.  

"1946" is a soon to be released movie (and possibly a book) that'll try and capture more minds into deception by attempting to attack The Word of God.  Despite the efforts of the world, this production will be just as flawed and as desperate as Dan Brown's fictional book trying to claim the origins of Christianity at the Council of Nicaea. 

"1946" will attempt to claim that there was a dishonest political plot constructed by conservative evangelicals in the origin and use of the word, "Homosexual" in one of the English translations of the Bible.

Dr. James White is a New Testament critical text scholar, professor and Christian apologist and he blows this "1946" nonsense right out of the water:

"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies." -- John 8:44

America ignores "the least of these"

 Our fallen nation hates Christ and their silence in the face of the persecution of Christians around the world makes that more than evident.

America hates the image of God. (Child sacrifice)

America hates the holiness of God. (Objective moral standard)

America hates The Word of God. (The Bible)

America must repent.  These are the very signs of judgment upon our nation - our cold and callous hearts.

The USA has become a nation of pagan idolatry.

Our idols are many.  Repent and smash those idols wherever they are found in our hearts!

------------------------------

Matthew 25:

“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;  I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’  Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’  These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Persecution watch: Monday 2-21-22

 

Christian - Don't be too comfy but continue praying that when it comes ... and it WILL come, that you would "be found worthy to escape these things" either by pysically not being around or going through it under the power of the Holy Spirit.  After all, it's happening to our brothers and sisters overseas.  We're seeing it grow here in the West, and the Globalist revolutions are currently happening whether or not we can read between the lines.

Look at Australia .... Look at Canada ...   We must pay attention to what's going on.

It's happening.  The frog is in the pot, the fire is lit, the water is getting hotter, and we're the frog!   Can't you see it?

Pray that The Spirit of God give us eyes to see what's going on around us.  Life gets in the way, and it's natural for us to miss seeing the smoke of the fire that's already lit, and growing more and more.

Here, see how Nigeria's brothers and sisters have continued to be butchered for years now, and the Western media isn't covering it as the genocide that it truly is.   WHY?  Because we're involved in our own American genocide of the unborn, and many of these principalities and powers, and rulers of the earth don't want the conscience of God upon them - they're fed up with it, and they want an end to it!   Whether it be in foreign lands or in our land, the believer represents the nagging conviction of the Holy Spirit reminding them of God's coming judgment upon them.

The rulers of our earth are working feverishly to set up a collectivist, globalist society with which they can best control the population, and they won't stop -- until The Lord judges them by the breath of His mouth.   God Himself is leading them against the snares they themselves are setting, and their time of destruction and shame will come by the Word of The Lord.  Praise God!

Persecution from the Goats!

 

Persecution from the Goats!

You can clearly see the wolves but the goats 

hang out especially close to the sheep, and they're the ones who'll persecute us first.

In the last days, as apostacy continues to grow, the goats will pretend to be sheep, and they'll hate on you secretly, hating the very Word of God, and aligning with the world against you.

But as The Lord said, "No bad tree will bare good fruit".  It doesn't take long because abiding in the True Vine is what they don't do.

Watch and listen to this special persecution VLOG message on this subject.
