So this just happened. A 'cease and desist' order was issued to house churches in Hebei Province in China.
Continual prayers are needed as our brothers and sisters continue to see persecution in China.

Good morning, everyone. Came across another aspect of this coin situation. I can't believe this is happening! It just doesn't make sense (or a pun cents)! https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/nutrition/the-real-reason-walmart-wants-you-to-pay-this-way/ar-BB16LgIp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO5YsgnegdI Here's a newscast on the shortage of coins since pandemic started. Reminded me immediately of the dream the brother had that coins would be in shortage!!
I can’t imagine living in a nation where it is LEGAL to prevent me from freely expressing my faith. The persecution of Christians in China is getting worse and it breaks my heart.

Sorry, error, We were exhorted to NOT give in to government over Biblical commands. Assembly, worship together, singing, praying, etc. There is to be a clear demarcation between civil government and the Church. The line is getting blurred. If we don't keep our ground we will loose it like Christians are in other countries. Then my son came home and he said the sermon in his church was the EXACT same theme! The Lord is speaking to us.
He brought out the Scriptures that we as His followers we MUST follow God's commands first. The new temporary 'regulation' in California of no singing in Church, directly conflicts with the command of the Lord to Sing unto the Lord! And they came together to sing, pray, etc. So the line in our respectful Church is being crossed. He likened it to the middle-ages persecutions that slowly choked obedience to the Word. We were exhorted to now give in Biblical ground.
He spoke about the early pandemic when we didn't see where it was all leading, so everyone participated in the need to isolate until we could see our way through it all. In Indiana, and our county we are significantly dropping on deaths and steady on positive cases. Yet, yesterday Indiana is now labeled as one of the states INCREASING in covid cases. But...it's not!
I would very much like to share the opening from our Church services today. It was the first time my daughter Grace & I have gone to physical Church since the 3rd week of March...over 3 months. Our church has three parts of preaching: 1. opening like a mini sermon 2. main sermon and 3. a closing to tight it all together. In the opening was the youngest minister and he chose to speak of faith and being faithfuly to God over man.
Hard to believe!
Elderly Christians across China are deprived of government subsidies if they continue practicing their faith.
One woman says: "If they cancel my benefits, I will meet God earlier.” Amazing faith! We need to pray for these persecuted Christians!
