When Saul allowed David to go fight Goliath, I imagine him taking many deep breaths, perhaps hyperventilating and wondering if he'd actually just handed his own head to the enemy.

Who can you give authority to, so they can be [further]empowered to do Gods will?!?

When David went to face Goliath, he stripped off the armour that the King gave him, so that he could fight his own way; so that he could fight the way God had trained him to fight.

Where is God stripping away your armour so you, too, can fight His way?!?

As we face up to another house move, I miss the home we owned, that we sold so we can live by faith - over 15 years ago.

It was a huge piece of armour! And yet, we have fought many battles, since, that that piece of armour would have prevented us from fighting.

So, where is God stripping away the armour you value - so you can fight God's way, in the way He has already trained you?

PS Philippians 4 v 10 and 13 fit in well here too!

@sinbach Thank you brother for sending us appropriate resources. Tools you enabled us to purchase put food in many plates. They made bridges in many new communities.
Many secret service agents and smugglers appreciated the kind of tools we passed onto our leaders and believers.
Thank you #BTJ for standing with us!

UPDATE
This guy just isn't getting off light; the enemy is coming at him. Just texted this yesterday after Doctors pushed off his release date again:

I am staying here. My lungs capacity is not healthy. It's not safe. It's not good for me. They are proposing some kind of surgery. I am so f$#%&^* down and so damn depressed right now that I understand why I can't open these damn windows. I am in this hospital for too damn long. Sorry for the language....

There is great fear in Germany among the vaccinated, the ones getting hit with COVID as did Nermin. The communicabilty is freaking the country out. Today the unvaccinated are not being allowed in recreational and social businesses. They may be making this man a Guinea pig and holding him unfairly or maybe it's purely spiritual. Prayer continuing.

Know what I mean...innit?

IVF clinics started having serious problems right after the #vaccines started rolling out https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-12-20-ivf-clinics-having-serious-problems-after-vaccines.html

Just like a tired Mary with baby Jesus won't be happy the drummer boy, sending some cryons and chocolates may not be appreciated by poverty stricken rural folks. Rather a gift that stays and can alleviate some of their challenges, would be ideal.
Give what is relevant in this season of giving.

An Iranian Christian working with BTJ had 1,000 Bibles in his home to give to other believers. The Bibles were not hidden.
The police busted into his home looking for the Bibles. They looked at them, but couldn't see them!!!
How is that possible?

@Antonio, dear brother, you and the many believers around you are seen and known by our Savior. You are not alone or trekking through these valleys without His knowledge and tender love toward you. Thankyou for your encouragement to us here in the US, through your zealous love for Jesus and the furthering of His kingdom. Satan knows his time is short; be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Spirit who is mightily at work in you! Praying from Pennsylvania, USA.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
You will revive me;
You will stretch out Your hand
Against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand
will save me.

Psalms 138:7 NKJV

He will guard the feet of His saints,
But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.

“For by strength no man shall prevail.

The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces;

From heaven He will thunder against them.

The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.

“He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed.”

I Samuel 2:9‭-‬10 NKJV

@Williams_girl Thanks for the encouragement and for the prayers. We too will pray for you and for all the brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering right now due to the oppression of the enemy. God bless you.

I'm really NOT into Christmas...

BUT I downloaded the "Christmas in China" mp3 songs from BTJ and I'm enjoying it!
I don't understand anything except, "Yesu" and that's good enough for me.

The same goes for the other worship songs I have in other languages.

"Yesaya, Isa, Yeshua, Yeshu"

Makes me feel more connected to the greater Body of Christ while enjoying different musical styles.

HE is the ONE who unifies us!

As many of you remember,we lost our van. A SPECIAL THANK YOU to all who helped during those difficult days!
Since then, we have learned that we can't buy our own vehicle until we get a license plate which is only possible when the gov. randomly draws our name from the millions who have also applied. It can take up to 5 years.SO...we need to rent a car for the time being.
THE MIRACLE:
We found a 7 PASSENGER CAR! The owner is a CHRISTIAN
Another AMAZING thing is that this car has a Beijing license plate which means we can drive to **JOSHUA'S HOSPITAL and Stuart's EMPLOYMENT** This is HUGE!
THE DILEMMA:
We need to rent for 1 year in order to secure the low price and not lose the car!
We need to raise $8000 before Dec.30th to keep it.
WE bring this need before God and our Brothers & Sisters because it is a critical need!
Here is the link if your able to help! Merry Christmas! May you all feel Jesus in a special way this year! paypal.me/WeaverFamilyChina
God Bless

@faith20 @tanjaostman you are in all our prayers Antonio 🙏🏼

The height of a tree trunk must be directly proportional to the depth of its root. The spread of the branches of a tree only reflects the spread of its roots beneath the soil. Deepen! Heighten! Widen! This is the order.
