We do not have to wait for persecution to see a revival. Persecution comes because of revival, not the other way around.
Now is the time for action.
Now is the time for repentance. Now is the time for truth.
“Don’t ever give up in freedom what we would never give up in persecution!”
~ Stoyan-persecution survivor.
PRAYER NEEDED: We were driving down the main street in our town here in China, when I saw a man, completely naked IN THE WINTER COLD! He was lifting a very large public metal garbage can and banging it on the ground. We immediately turned our van around to go help.When we got to him there was a crowd of 100+ spectators. Not one helping. Not one in position to help women and children if he ran towards them. Just videoing and laughing. I wept over this afterwards. I walked up to him and saw bruises on his back.He was crouching at the time and was attempting to lift the metal garbage box above him. I immediately told him her was loved and called him a friend. He stoppped. He let me take his cut bleeding hands off the box. Suddenly he sobered up mentally and started to speak English. We only exchanged a few words and the police arrived.he panicked and yelled “please don’t take my life” over and over as they forced him into a police car. Pray for him. For Salvation. For Jesus!
This is the sermon of the year! This pastor is currently sitting in a Canadian jail cell for conducting services in accordance with his conscience instead of the edicts of the government. This message, which was the pastor’s last before he was arrested, is a must listen regarding the relationship between the church and the government.
“A blind man was brought to Jesus, and they begged Him to touch him.” Mark 8:22
When we go before the Lord in prayer, do we “beg” Jesus to touch our sick or handicapped? These people didn’t wish Jesus would heal their blind friend, they expected it! They were so confident that Jesus could heal, they only spent their energy persuading Him so that He would heal. When we are captured by the present reality of Jesus’ rule and reign, our expectations are greatly elevated.
Don’t expect the worst. Expect Jesus to be sovereign over everything, even death.

Moral of the Story: When you are given the right to choose, educate yourself so that you can choose wisely.
ALL choices have consequences.
Here is a GREAT way to educate your children on the Constitution:
I have been inspired to make sure my kids know this by heart. But I am also inspired to teach our neighbors kids this as well. If you are an American, please join me in this venture!
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
