The people walking in darkness
will see a great light.

Upon those dwelling in the land
of the shadow of death,
light will shine!

You will multiply the nation.
You will increase the joy . . .

For to us a child is born,
a son will be given to us,
and the government will be
upon His shoulder.

His Name will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God
My Father of Eternity,
Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of His government and shalom there will be no end—on the throne of David and over His kingdom—to establish it and uphold it through justice and righteousness
from now until forevermore.

Isaiah 9:1-6 TLV

Please pray for these precious children. Just received a call from Pakistan of tragic attack on 2 young innocent children. Their mother is a slave in a brick kiln factory. The Muslims had installed a water tap for muslims only. The innocent children were thirsty and drank a handful of water. The muslims tried to burn them alive. The mother makes only $1.00 per day and has no money to take them for medical care. Pray and as the Lord leads give at http://cmm.world

One of my favorite things about Christmas is its underlying message. Some avoid this because of "religious" connotations. I think this is a personal loss.
That a God, or one who has all power, would come to man as one of them, not in the splendor of wealth, but in a barn with farm animals, to live a life not of selfishness and indulgence, but to rescue others out of suffering, is what we need. It is the opposite of the systems of the world. It is deeply beautiful. Its worth pondering. Its worth emulating. Its why we spend our own efforts to purchase gifts for others. As a symbol of what really brings change.... selfless love.
If you so choose, Christmas can be a celebration of receiving selfless love. And letting that gift be paid forward to others.

FINALLY! Put our BTJ ornament on the tree today.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Galatians 2:20 NKJV

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?

Our Father in Heaven is not a scorekeeper, judging us by our failures vs. our successes. God, the father is goal-oriented. What matters is who we become, not what we have done.

The things we do shape who we become, but the way we respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit, reshapes us into the image God intends. It doesn’t matter what crooked forms we took in the past.
What matters is our willingness to be remolded.

Please pray for #Mozambique

@Will promoting BTJ vision to hundreds of people today! PTL

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!

“You are the light of the world!” (Matthew 5:14)

We often fail to appreciate how significant this statement is. Jesus calls His followers “the Light of the world.”

What chance does the world have to come out of darkness and into light without the Church? None.

Or as Paul questioned:
“How will they hear without a preacher?”
Answer: They won’t.

If the Church isn’t in revival, the world is descending into hell.

What a good day it is to be filled with the Holy Spirt! Our sanctification is the world’s salvation.

Lord, renew in us today, a steadfast and willing Spirit. By Your power, let us fulfill our calling to be the light of the world today. In Jesus’ name.

“So don’t worry away with your...

“What will we eat?”

“What will we drink?”

“What will we wear?”

“Don’t worry about tomorrow.”
(Matthew 6:31-34)

Are there any commandments as straightforward as these that we so regularly flaunt?

Jesus offers us rest.
Thank you, Jesus. I receive Your rest.

Inbox me if you are offended at the idea of idea of Christmas ☃️🎄
Let us pray and get this nastiness off you!!!

@tanjaostman For the moment it is not possible to teach without vaccine and I am praying that a door will open for me for another job but for now there is still nothing on the horizon. Vaccination of children aged 5 to 11 began yesterday in Italy. What is happening before our eyes is terrible. Jesus promised us to stay with us until the end of the present age. This means that God's grace is sufficient for God's children to face what is happening in the world. It is true, I feel very tried, but I know that I can do everything in the One who strengthens me. God bless you.

Feel the impact of persecuted Christians singing songs about the birth of Christ and completely change your idea of a Christmas Carol - FOREVER!
This illegal recording from inside China is available now for ONLY one more week.
