Pray for Myanmar and our dear friends there. We heard yesterday thousands of prisoners were released from prison and told to burn houses and make room for civil disobedience citizens and government workers to be jailed. Many Doctors and nurses have been detained. Free prisoners are burning houses whole night. Pray for the Lord's destiny to be fulfilled in this heavily Buddhist nation. Their internet was going to be turned off from the 14th of Feb through the end of the month but some still have internet. Last week many Chinese planes were flying into Myanmar and 2 N Korean planes flew in. Army and police are arresting people at night and taking them to unknown locations and they are not heard from again, for now. From a friend just now: History is unfolding right now there. Watchmen and intercessors proclaim the Lord's will and peace and protection over the innocent.
⚠️ DAY 2!
We look at Pastor Zhang - one of the most central (and sometimes most controversial) figures in all of China’s underground house church and his view on suffering for Christ.
“What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven....” Mat 18:18
“These are precious words. Here heaven is measured by earth, for there is always more power in heaven than the measure of our asking; there is always more to be loosed or bound in heaven than we ask down here. Why do we seek deliverance from sin? Why are we always crying to God for enduement with power? To pray “Thy will be done in me” is a good beginning no doubt, but we must go on to “Thy will be done on earth.” The children of God today are taken up with far too small things, whereas their prayer is intended for the release of heaven’s mighty acts. Prayer for myself or my own immediate concerns must lead on to prayer for the Kingdom. In this the church should be heaven’s outlet, the channel of release for heaven’s power, the medium of accomplishment of God’s purpose. Many things have accumulated in heaven because God has not yet found His outlet on earth; the church has not yet prayed.”

We hit upon the meaning of deep calls to deep when we recognize that human needs are great, but the riches of God are greater. Our wisdom is shallow, but His knowledge and judgments are unsearchable (Romans 11:33–34). God’s thoughts are deep (Psalm 92:5). His love is as deep as His immense heart (Ephesians 3:18–19), as He proved when He gave His only begotten Son to die for us (John 3:16). The height, breadth, and depth of God’s resources are without measure. From the depth of his despair, the psalmist found help in the depth of God’s goodness, and he was able to say in conclusion, “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!” (Psalm 42:11, NLT).

If the imagination were obedient the appetites would give us very little trouble.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
But if I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my --
(Die?)
I pray the Lord to reconsider
let me stay, so to say, intact
I have this book to surrender,
a few close friends to contact
let them know my time is thinner
here Lord I have a short list
some things I may have missed
don't think I can finish
before I sleep unblemished
would you, could you
find room for a delay
that you might consider
another day?
or two--
or maybe three
I have to trim a very large tree
I know asking for four is more
but I could fix a creak in this door
and then I have to explain to the wife
how I let her tropical fish, so adored
depart from this life--
second thought tonight is alright, Lord!
Billy Graham in 1958 talking about America and revival. My wife Anna Marie found it and shared this. So fitting for our day now! Continue to pray and share this as the Lord leads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05M_02ZAYTU
Shalom brothers and sisters!
I'm not a fan of politics, but I'm quite able to discern right from wrong... and here in Italy, our Government (the only one we managed to vote for in the last 10 years...) just drop (don't know if it's the right word), and we are getting soon a new one entirely controlled by the Central Bank of Europe! 🎉 🎉
Plus, we are facing an unprecedented economical crisis! Many many people lost their jobs and there's much more unemployment coming...
Just pray for us please, that the Lord will send more workers in the field! There are not many true believers in this Country and in these moments and in the times ahead people will need the Real Love, the Real Truth, the Real Live which IS A REAL PERSON: JESUS, not a religion or a philosophy or a lifestyle!
Thank you so much for your prayers.
May the Lord bless you all ❤️
