Today I am utterly astounded and honoured to find that "Devotional Treasures" has been listed at No.36 in the top 60 Devotional blogs/websites by Feedspot.

This Sunday we want to thank God for preparations that He has made in Afghanistan.
Last year our Afghan partners told us that their electronic devices were being checked for Bible apps. BTJ hackers began working together on a solution for them and we were able to launch Operation Black Trumpet in Afghanistan.
Today the Taliban, in an event that few saw coming, is said to be going door-to-door looking at people's phones searching for Bible apps. If they have launched Operation Black Trumpet on their device, the Taliban would not be able to find the Bible on their phone. Not many Afghan Christians know about it, but it is spreading through the underground church.
Please keep them in your prayers.

From our "on the ground" partner in Laos. Since January until now. Ready for this??
1. 24,361 have heard the gospel
2. 4,671 have been saved. (1 in 5 who heard)
3. 1,792 Baptized (2 in 5 saved get baptized)
4. 134 new discovery discipleship groups
5. 57 new house churches planted
6. 1689 leaders trained.
7. Jesus glorified.
Amen???!!!!!! Pray for Laos. Pray for AIM1040.COM AS we continue to focus on those who have never heard. Love you all.
We were blessed to feed prisoners for the gospel in Laos. Terrible situation for the believers in these prisons. But we were able through fabor to get some rice and veggies to some starving believers who have been there for years for the crime of sharing Jesus to others. Communism is evil. We were also able to distribute Lao Bibles and Lao Hymn books (they love these Hymn books). Finally were were able to send out flaming Evangelists who are going to all 53 districts within Lao to share the gospel, baptize, give Bibles, begin discovery Bible studies for unbelievers that will eventually turn into signs and wonders, healings, baptisms and new churches. God is working in Laos.
There are too many things to be concerned about. A human being, as much as he/she may want to, CANNOT actively care about everything wrong in the world. We simply dont have the capacity. We cant give to every need or even feel passionate about it.
We can pray, but most of the time, that is all we can do. If our Father leads us to be more intimately involved in a certain cause or need, then of course, we obey.
I'm personally involved in church planting, Bible schools, children's homes, and such in the 10/40. But I dont expect everyone to jump on board with the same things in the same places.
"Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you."
Pray and obey. Leave the rest to God.
With new restrictions marching back in some places, political tensions high (at least in the US) and an uncertain future in front of us, what do we do? Worship! Read my latest post to be encouraged by a word I received from God. May you find the lifeline you need to carry you through the chaos with peace and joy. ❤️🙌 https://theovercomers.blog/2021/08/20/worship-will-never-disappoint-you/
This scripture was brought to mind as I awakened this morning. May your heart take courage.
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves." Malachi 4:1-2
Derek Prince - "By Grace Alone"
Let me present this thought to you: “The will of God will never place you where the grace of God cannot keep you.” If you are in the will of God, no matter how strange, unfamiliar or difficult the situation may be, if you come to the end of all your own strength and resources, bear this in mind: “The will of God will never place you where the grace of God cannot keep you.”
Folks..good day! Please do take a look:
We got word an hour ago of one of our pastors in Afghanistan, Pastor Siddique, was notified that his house now belongs to the Taliban and 'they know what he is doing.' His family has fled to the country side and others are also being threatened. We ask you to pray. CMM has already received some funds to send to them and other friends' groups working in Afghanistan like FAI and others. These are front line warriors risking their lives to share Jesus' love. As the Lord leads give at www.cmm.world for rapid response fund or covert.
