@Pablito we could play this game all day long talking about the failure of leadership, but let's not piss around the bush here - PUTIN has been shutting down churches, persecuting believers, attacking Christians, and hunting evangelists. Human trafficking? Russia is a top TIER 3 nation for human trafficking - the top rating that you can get - according to a study conducted by Ivanka Trump. We just brought a team of Russian believers together last month to find ways around the Russian government persecution because it has gotten so bad under Putin. What Russia is doing in the Ukraine is supported by China, North Korea, and Iran - that should give you all the information you need to know - right there. Russia is supporting operations in Syria to attack Israel - yes the land of Magog is attacking Israel, but no please, tell me more about how the Prez of the Ukraine, a Jew coming from a family that died in the Holocaust and is now fighting for his nation is just as bad as Putin.
Let's keep our eyes on Jesus. HE is the Victor! There is so much brokeness in this world. I was driving to an appointment with a sister from my local fellowship and learned that someone had been shot near the intersection at the end of our block. After this appointment I'm supposed to visit an elderly lady who called me and is feeling suicidal. I did speak to her to let her know I plan to come soon and she assured me she will be there. Jesus is our only hope in this world!
We are living in an era in which there is no time to prepare for an event that happens another one even worse than the previous one.
May God prepare His entire Church to align with the prophetic times we are living in. It is no longer time to "be on a cruise ship".
Stiamo vivendo in un'epoca nella quale non si fa in tempo a prepararsi ad un evento che ne succede un altro ancora peggiore del precedente.
Che Dio possa preparare la Sua Chiesa intera ad allinearsi ai tempi profetici che stiamo vivendo. Non è più tempo di "stare su una nave da criciera".
@faith20, thank you for sharing this, dear brother. I have thought some about this. I have beloved family in far away Alaska. My quick and reliable way to communicate is through the internet. What reassurance the Holy Spirit has given you in this verse. I receive the comfort of it as well. Grace and abundant peace be yours in Italy! Blessings from Pennsylvania, USA!
This was posted on Facebook by the ministry 8thirty8:
"Dear friends, as we pray for Ukraine, let's also lift up our brothers and sisters in Russia. We received this update from a Russian friend this week."
"Please remember to pray for us here in Russia too! We are broken and hurting. But there are many believers here. We are continuing to preach the gospel and comfort people and encourage them to look to God! We have to look at God and go through this fiery furnace. Please pray for us believers in Russia who are trying to change our country from the inside out. One person at a time. We will preach the Gospel and God's love!" Message clipped. I didn't post the prayer from 8thirty8 due to space constraint.
‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
— Isaiah 41:10
From last night I have been hit with a spell of major fatique, which hasn't happened fir a while. I am running on empty. My writing may not be up to standard, but I will keep leaning on Him.
The coming night and tomorrow day are critical moments. At stake is everything, what the whole civilisized world believes and what it has built so far.
With tears in our eyes we request you, no matter on what time zone you are in, to spend time in prayer and fasting in front of God. 🙏
Pray the Lord to protect us from insane armies, which wants to mock at the cost of faith and God's truth.
We ask you to share this message to all your friends, relatives and acquaintances in Europe, Asia, America and all over the world!
Prayer is stronger than the strongest enemy🙏🙏🙏!
Your brothers and sisters from Ukraine 💙💛
@tanjaostman, this is beautiful! I'm new to David Wood, but so grateful to you for sharing. Have a God- given longing to build a bridge of friendship with local Muslims in my town/area. Have been praying for years about this and recently the Holy Spirit planned for me to meet a young Muslim student in a nearby store. Trusting the Spirit to bring about more conversation with her!
Wars and rumors of wars in our world today.

Through it all, I'm learning to trust my Jesus. So glad I know Him.
Sharing some encouragement with all of you this Sunday evening.
BTJ just finished hosting our annual Hackers Conference.
WOW
Just WOW❗
This year we had hackers from all around the world meet up in the Middle East and dream of the newest ways to invade the enemy's territory with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and set the captives free.
This is a Great Day to complete the Great Commission.

I saw this posted somewhere else and am sharing that we can pray. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but praise God that the Blood of Jesus had defeated the enemy! The enemy is angry and doing whatever he can in earth to kill, steal, and destroy. The USA needs JESUS, as do the nations everywhere.
Pray for Ukraine! I received this message from Pastor Sasha, near Kiev...
Hi Todd !
As from today , Ukraine will be going perhaps through the most dangerous 10-14 days with regard to full size war with Russia. Today Russia and Belarus began in Belarus (only 100 miles up north from Kiev) military maneuvers with a huge army (around 130.000 soldiers)
With this we also see absolutely crazy propaganda within Russia to prepare their general public for a full size war.
Also Russia makes every day more and more crazy demands to Ukraine and West, to deescalate this situation (like we / Ukraine now has to send back to the west all weapons that we got last couple of weeks)
Overall it’s a spooky feeling !
BUT - there is no panic here as for today ! We keep standing and believing God for protection!
Please remember Ukraine even more so in your prayers these next 10 days!
Thanks for being there for us !
Colorado State offers help to anyone "affected by free speech."
This sign offers students 17 resources to help them if they have been affected by free speech.
Universities are treating Free speech as if it is a disease or violence affecting students.
Do not be fooled - the enemy's first attack when he takes over an areas is to stop free speech. Preaching the Gospel and sharing the Word is essential to complete the Great Commission. This is why China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran WILL NOT - CANNOT allow free speech. An attack on free speech is ALWAYS a direct attack on completing the Great Commission, to prolong Satan's time on earth. 😥

@sinbach, I am so blessed by the perspectives you share, and this article along with the mini series you've been doing on Mao's Little Red Book, are so wonderfully insightful and right on!
My parents led by example, helping my brothers and I cherish and earnestly pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in the former Soviet Union in the 80's, through the ministry of Bro. Andrew and Open Doors. Now I glean so much from BTJ for our 4 boys to understand what God is doing in their generation!
As a musician, I was delighted in about 2006, to be introduced to the Canaan Hymns project, recorded a number of years ago by the Beijing Philharmonic (I believe), but was even more enthralled with the story of the young Chinese woman who, as an "untrained" musician who loved Jesus, had written these original songs of praise to the Lord (to the awe of the Philharmonic performers), and had taught them all over China, often being captured and imprisoned. Have you perchance met her?
Our hot water making machine is keeping us warm. Night time there was electricity with proper voltage to recharge our phones. Parked our vehicle inside a walled campus and visiting places in Motorcycles. Comparitively good village roads.
Heard encouraging stories, how previous teams blessed these tiny churches through various training they imparted.
One young lady had a dream , in which she saw herself acquiring a new skill through the visiting team. Now she uses that income generation skill to support her family and local house church.
Thanks for praying.
