Warfare prayer of the soldiers of the Army of Jesus to bind and destroy the works of the devil

Let us bind and destroy the works of the devil in the name of Jesus Christ who has conquered sin, satan, curse and death on the cross

Pro  11:2  The spirit of  pride which brings  shame 

Message for Reflections – Sis. Angelica

Workman worthy of his food 

Jesus while sending His disciples for preaching, gave them a lot of instructions. The list of items not to be taken with

  • Gold
  • Silver
  • Copper

This shows extra money or  long time savings.

Bag for the journey, sandals or staff – shows extra dresses or materials

Then He adds- The workman is worthy of his food.

The minimum need - food is guaranteed. Extra clothing, bags, sandals, staff, gold, silver, copper, luxury nothing is guaranteed.

No bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. Mat 10:10 

Wherever a missionary is sent, only his food, nothing else  is guaranteed by Jesus. If any other  need in ministry arises, the Lord provides  it.  

A sister 77 years old, was in charge of 24 hours prayer in an area. She was so sincere and faithful in doing it. She used to collect all the news about the nation from the newspaper, T.V. and prepare prayer points over that, teach others how to prophesy over them, bind the activities of satan and release the heavenly blessings over the nation and the people. Her contacts started increasing. She started doing it through a simple mobile. When the work expanded, contacts increased and she had to resort to email. Since she was not familiar with the technology, she had to approach others for it. Sometimes she had to wait patiently for others’ timings. In this process,  she  learned how to send  mail by herself. Still she had to approach others since her mobile did not have the facility. All of a sudden, one day, an unknown man came to her and gave her a gift. When she unwrapped it, to her surprise, it was a hi tech mobile with all the facilities. This gift was sent from heaven through an unknown man! How faithful our Lord is!

What is Troop Church ?

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world for a real Church where a person can commune with God and relate to his fellow brethren. After trials and experiments the Indian Church is forming “Troop Church”.

The Army of Jesus was experimenting with the “Troop Church” for the past 17 years. Started in the year 1998. The experiment with Troop Church has been successful.

  1. It has independent first line second and third line Troop Churches
  2. It has raised many leaders, prophets, counselors and other ministers and gospel workers.
  3. It has no visible leader or hierarchical structure
  4. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc.
  5. No organizational (hierarchical) set up.
  6. No money collection or transaction.
  7. No election, board, Committee etc.
  8. Every Troop Church trains up believers in their gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc.
  9. Since the mother troop disperses and starts new troops after 2 months, there is no stagnancy.
  10. No pollution or corruption with money or power.
  11. The two wings of Troop Church are Decentralisation and Multiplication.

Duty of the soldiers of AOJ - Drive out the enemies

"Tell the Israelis that when they have crossed the Jordan River to the land of Canaan, 

they are to drive out all the inhabitants of the land and destroy all their idols and their molten images. You are to demolish all their high places,  take possession of the land, and live in it, because I've given you the land to inherit. ‘You are to divide the land among yourselves by lot according to your families. The larger the families are in number, the larger their inheritance is to be. The lesser the families are in number, the lesser their inheritance is to be. To whomever the lot falls, that inheritance goes to him. Divide it according to your ancestral tribes. (Num 33:51-54)

  • Num 33:55  "But if you fail to drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, their survivors will become irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, to prick your sides and afflict you in the very land in which you'll be living. 
  • Num 33:56  Then, what I had planned to do to them, I'll start to do to you." 
  • Time given to them to drive out the enemies

1

"Tell the Israelis

Prophets today have to proclaim this message to all the believers in  India

2

that when they have crossed the Jordan River

Message to be told – when they have crossed the Jordan river- Past worldly life – before you accepted Jesus Christ -  life of an unbeliever ( Josh 5:1)- enemy loses all hold on you after your baptism- (Adult immersion baptism) enemies’ spirit melts- he leaves you with no right on you

3

to the land of Canaan 

Immediately after crossing the river Jordan, Joshua circumcises all the Israelites those who were not yet circumcised (Josh 5:2) Thus he purified the whole assembly of the Israelites. (Josh 5:6-7- All who departed from Egypt except Joshua & Caleb perished because of rebellion- Now their descendants whom He raised in  their place were circumcised removing the disgrace of the  Egyptians.

This  is the time the Lord has chosen  to remove all the disgrace of His children living in  India. The same day they observed the Passover, (Josh 5:10)the   manna ceased. Hereafter automatic manna (which is available in institutional churches) will be stopped. (Josh 5:11) Children of God  will eat directly from the Word of God (Ezek 3:1-3,

Joshua is visited by the Lord- You are visited today! “I have come as the commander of the Army, Remove your sandals; the place you are standing is holy. (Jos5:15)

Now starts the inheriting – starting from Jericho (Josh 6:1-18:1)

Refer Oct 8 message of Joshua 18:1 – The land lay conquered before them!

In 52 days – The land of Chennai lies conquered before us! The Lord taught us the technique-

How to catch men- in workplace, at the airport, in barber shop, in hospital, in the consulting room of  doctors through  writing prophecy,  through  past contacts, through praying in bus stand, through visiting hospitals & healing, through Shekinah & BFF contacts, through listening to  family problems,   through  guests who visited a house etc….

 As  Joshua captured 31 kings, we found more than 31 sources to capture people for troop churches.

4

they are to drive out all the inhabitants of the land

We are in the place of the  Israelites today.

We are given authority to cast out all kinds of demons & heal all kinds of sicknesses.

Lk 9:1, Mat 10:1, Lk. 10:18,19, Mat 28:18.

All the inhabitants of the land – not idols or temples – but the demonic forces which work through them. We should not go and knock down the temples or idols. They will build still bigger ones. But the powers of darkness should be bound and chased away.

5

and destroy all their idols and their molten images.Num 33-51-52

When the worshippers come to know that there is no power in the idol, or in the place, they themselves will destroy them.

  • I saw a torch on the west of India and it was ignited with fire and lion was holding that torch. Right after that .A person one who worship with me spoke in prayer about Gideon’s army and prayed for anointing. The Lord reveled confirmation of that vision.

Prophecy NEWS Updates – Why Study Bible Prophecy In 2018? ..(Cont..)

Why study bible prophecy?

3) Encouragement of Holy Living

In the end, dedicated study of bible prophecy leads to holy living.

Fulfilled prophecy is a constant reminder of God's awesome power, the glory of Jesus Christ, and the absolute certainty that promises yet unfulfilled will come to be. This breeds a number of Christ-like characteristics in the life of a Christian, a fact attested to by Paul:

"For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with self-control, right conduct, and devotion to God, while we look forward to that wonderful event when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed." Titus 2:11-13 (NLT)

If we acknowledge the prophecies of the Second Coming as well as the command of Jesus to stay awake and alert, we will be driven to live godly lives. Paul also emphasized this in his letter to the Romans:

"Another reason for right living is that you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for the coming of our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed." Romans 13:11 (NLT)

Peter also recognized the power of prophecy to motivate Christians toward holy living, citing faith in the imminent return of Christ (unfulfilled prophecy) as reason for modifying behavior and living a life in harmony with God:

"So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the special blessings that will come to you at the return of Jesus Christ. Obey God because you are his children. Don't slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn't know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God - who chose you to be his children - is holy." 1 Peter 1:13-15 (NLT)

James underlined the important role of bible prophecy in fostering patience in the life of Christ's followers:

"Dear brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the Lord's return. Consider the farmers who eagerly look for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They patiently wait for the precious harvest to ripen. You, too, must be patient. And take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near." James 5:7-8 (NLT)

Harboring the hope that Christ can return at any moment encourages patience in our daily lives.

In addition, Paul points out the importance of studying bible prophecy in order to identify false prophets and recognize evil:

"Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Keep away from every kind of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 (NLT)

If a Christian ignores bible prophecy, that Christian is ignoring a large portion of God's Word.

As a result, they will be unable to adequately counter arguments and false doctrines put forth by false prophets and enemies of God. Like the people of Berea (Acts 17:11), we are encouraged to personally examine the Word of God and use it as the yardstick by which we measure truth.

A Christian who lacks knowledge of bible prophecy will be severely lacking in this area, and as a result, they will be more susceptible to errant teachings.

Reward Awaits

As if the above reasons weren't enough, the bible promises special blessings to those who faithfully examine bible prophecy. As an example, one of the most prophetic books in the bible, the Book of Revelation, promises a special blessing to those who merely read it. Moreover, God further blesses those who listen to what this book has to say and take it to heart:

"God blesses the one who reads this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to it and obey what it says. For the time is near when these things will happen." Revelation 1:3 (NLT)

Remember, the Book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ. Despite what some think, it's not the revelation of John, or the imaginative writings of a cave dweller. It is direct correspondence from Jesus to His followers, and although some of it is difficult to understand, it contains some of the most wonderful promises from God to man in the entire bible. As Paul states:

"That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.' But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and his Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God's deep secrets." 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (NLT)

Paul knew the importance of bible prophecy and the significant role it played in the daily life of a Christian. In fact, he earnestly looked forward to the day when he would be rewarded for his hope in an unfulfilled bible prophecy ? the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ:

"And now the prize awaits me - the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his glorious return." 2 Timothy 4:8 (NLT)

This crown of righteousness is not just for Paul, but for all who "eagerly look forward to His glorious return," providing those who receive it with an eternal reward.

Still think bible prophecy is unimportant?

Police foil Hindu students' bid to storm Catholic college

India(Madhya Pradesh):Right-wing group wanted to conduct religious rite in what Madhya Pradesh Christians said was an act of intimidation. Hundreds of right-wing Hindu students clashed with police in central India Jan. 4 after they tried to storm a Catholic-run college to conduct a Hindu religious rite, church sources said. Police were forced to charge about 800 students from the group Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parisahd (ABVP) when they tried to gain access to St. Mary’s College in Vidisha, in Madhya Pradesh state to conduct the Aarati, a Hindu ritual prayer hailing Bharat Mata (Mother India). “They did seek prior permission, but it was refused,” college director Father Shaju Devassy said. Student leader Ankit Garg, told ucanews.com that all they wanted to do was to promote patriotism among students. Father Devassy said the attempt to storm the college was not about prayer or patriotism, but was a symbolic attempt to impose Hindu dominance over minorities.

It challenged the constitutional right of religious and ethnic minorities to own and manage institutions to help their communities, he added. Madhya Pradesh is run by the pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party and has witnessed many incidents targeting Christians, who form less than one percent of state’s 72 million people, Christian leaders say. The state witnessed 21 violent attacks on Christians and hundreds of cases of harassment, threats and intimidation at the hands of Hindu groups from January to November 2017, according to data published by voluntary group Alliance Defending Freedom. Critics accuse the ABVP, the student wing of the BJP, of supporting the idea of making India a Hindu nation.

New Report Shows Countries Where Christian Persecution is Expected to Increase in 2018

A new report highlighting the countries where persecution and attacks on Christians is expected to increase has been released. The annual Persecution Trends Report, from the U.K.-based group Release International, said that those countries include China, India and Nigeria. In China, a “key country of concern for 2018,” Christians could face stricter restrictions. In some districts, Santa Claus and Christmas hats have already been banned. The country is expected to impose more restrictions in February, when the community country takes control over some places of worship.

"Those new rules will mean unregistered house churches will face increasingly tough measures to control their activities,” the report says. Under the regulations, anyone who organizes unapproved religious activities will be fined up to $45,000. Anyone providing a place to host those unapproved activities could face a fine up to $30,100. In 2017, 13 Chinese Christians were imprisoned for attending a Sunday service at a house church. A pastor was tortured and sentenced to 12 years in prison, and some Christians who owned devotionals were sentenced to seven years in prison for possessing the books. In Nigeria, the Fulani herdsmen, who are trying to drive Christians away, have attacked Christian villages. In India, militants believe that every Indian should be Hindu and there is pressure on the government to close Christian churches.

Christians are Killed on Christmas Eve in Burma

Government military operations in northern Burma (Myanmar) escalated in December, culminating in civilian casualties on Christmas Eve that left Christians feeling attacked in part for their faith. Offensives against rebel groups in Kachin state, where predominantly Christian, ethnic Kachin live, displaced dozens of villagers and seriously injured two civilians on Christmas Eve, local sources said. Burma army artillery fire on Dec. 24 struck a village near Laiza, headquarters of the rebel Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), seriously injuring a schoolteacher and a student, according to the local sources. Sin Gau, assistant pastor with the Kachin Baptist Convention in northern Kachin state, said fighting should have halted on Christmas Eve, when many celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. “They launched attacks when Christmas approached – it happens almost every year,” Sin Gau told Morning Star News. “So, we even felt as if they deliberately did it.”

Area Christians felt the fighting disrespected their religious rights, he said. “As we are Christian, Christmas Eve is the most important thing for us, but we couldn’t fully enjoy Christmas as fighting continued,” Sin Gua said. The Burma army and KIO’s military wing, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), have been fighting since 2011 following the breakdown of a bilateral ceasefire. Clashes also broke out on Dec. 22 and 23 between KIA and the Burma army in Mansi Township, northern Kachin state, forcing more than 100 villagers to flee their homes. They are now staying in Man Wing Gyi village tract, according to local humanitarian organizations.

Thang Zua, a Kachin refugee in Tanai township, northern Kachin state, said he was saddened as the fighting continued into Christmas Eve. “We as Christians should have had celebrated Christmas without fear, but we couldn’t fully enjoy Christmas,” Thang Zua said.The Burma army has intensified offensives on KIA military outposts in Hpa-Kant, Tanai and Mansi townships since early December. Local sources said the Burma army wanted to gain control of those areas, which are rich in natural resources such as jade and other precious gems. The fighting that escalated in early December in Kachin state has spread to Shan state, in northeastern Burma, where the Burma army reportedly also used helicopters and jets, according to rebel sources. Shelling further spread in Shan state on New Year’s Eve, forcing more than 900 local villagers in Kyaukme Township and Namhsan Township to flee, according to the Relief and Resettlement Department in Kyaukme.

KIA is one of some 20 ethnic rebel groups that have fought for self-determination, autonomy, freedom and other fundamental rights since Burma gained independence from the British in 1948. The Burmese government and ethnic rebels have been in peace talk since 2011, and eight rebel groups have signed bilateral ceasefire agreements and a Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement with the Burmese government. More than 10 ethnic rebel groups, including the powerful KIO and ethnic Wa, Kokang and Palaung peoples, haven’t signed the agreements.

Ethnic groups believe the fighting in Kachin state is meant to pressure the KIO to sign the ceasefire agreement.  Christian ethnic minorities have long suffered in Burma, where the government has recognized the special status of Buddhism and promoted it as a means to consolidate support. Burma is about 80 percent Buddhist and 9 percent Christian. The Burma military routinely occupies churches and summons entire congregations for interrogation, according to a report the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released in December 2016. “The Tatmadaw [Burmese armed forces] occupied Chin, Naga, and Kachin areas and routinely occupied, desecrated, or destroyed places of worship, Christian crosses, and other sacred sites,” the report states. “This practice continues today in active armed conflict zones.” The military continues to perpetrate grave human rights violations with near total impunity, including sexual violence in church compounds and the torture of pastors, church workers, and ordinary civilians, according to the report, “Hidden Plight: Christian Minorities in Burma.” After more than five years of intensified conflict since Burma violated the 17-year cease-fire in 2011, many Kachin face protracted displacement and are desperate to return home, according to the report.
