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

Pr  22:8  The spirit which makes one  plant seeds of injustice and  harvest disaster

Message for reflection – Sr. Angelica AJ

Accept my Word

Pro 4:10  Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many

We see so many ads on whatsapp, you tube newspapers, TV Channels which instructs you on methods to prolong your years on earth and how to live your life to its full. LIC (Life Insurance Corporation) is one of the biggest industries in India. Its survives on the desire of the people to live longer on this earth. Every newspaper and magazine (both secular and spiritual) has a health tip section. Spiritual magazines insist on long life, because the Word of God promises long life to those who come under His protection. Ps 91:16; I will satisfy Him with long life.

How to achieve long life?. Here is the method.

  1. Listen to His words.
  2. Accept His words.

There are so many who listen. Even those people who hate Jesus, who hate God listens to His words. In listening, their intentions may vary.

  1. Children just to please their parents.
  2. Employers just to please their boss
  3. Believers just to please their church head.
  4. Enemies just to find fault or for arguing etc.

But the second condition is more important.

“Accept my Words”. In my past 13 years, I have seen people who have been accepted as great servants of God in  the Christian world, who have not accepted the words fully.

For eg. Mat 23:8-10  You are not to be called “teacher” because Christ is your teacher.

Today, to my little knowledge, very few Christians only want to be taught by Jesus Christ. All the others are after other teachers like evangelists, pastors, tele evangelists and they are proud of being so. Actually they should be ashamed of this condition and admit telling “I am still under a pastor, still he only teaches me, I watch a TV Channel (spiritual) and learn from it, I am not yet grown to receive manna directly from the Lord.

When we meditate the Word of God, sitting with Jesus, he will teach you. Then only we will come to accept the word of God.

Lord give us the heart to accept your words. Not only to listen, but to accept them.

China Forcibly Removed Church’s Cross on Easter Sunday

China has escalated its crackdown on Christianity in recent weeks, forcibly removing crosses from Protestant and Catholic churches, destroying unregistered church buildings and even demolishing the structure of a legal Three-Self congregation. 

The actions come amidst an official campaign, known as Return to Zero, to eliminate unregistered house churches. 

“The Communist Party is afraid that having a large number of people who believe in God will threaten their rule,” a house church pastor told Bitter Winter, which monitors religious persecution.

Government officials in Shandong province used a huge crane on Easter Sunday to remove the cross of a Protestant congregation, Grassland Church. A week later, officials in Henan province used a crane to remove two huge crosses atop a Catholic church. Shandong is the second-most populous province with 95 million people. Henan is third, with 94 million people. 

ChinaAid, another organization that monitors religious persecution, reported the incidents.   

“Since the Chinese government wrongly believes religions are an attempt by foreign powers to infiltrate China, they often restrict religious practice and expression, including cracking down on religious symbols being displayed on buildings,” ChinaAid reported.

Elsewhere, entire church buildings have been destroyed. 

Government officials in Chumen, Zhejiang, used an excavator to destroy the building of Sola Fide house church, Bitter Winter said. Police forced the pastor to sign a statement pledging not to lead a meeting of the congregation again. Zhejiang is the smallest province in China by population (54 million). 

Even legal churches aren’t safe. Members of East Street Church – a registered Three-Self congregation in Sunfuji, Henan – watched helplessly as officials destroyed their church on Good Friday, ripping up floors and removing valuables. Officials claimed the structure was built too close to the village’s committee building, even though East Street had the permits showing the building was legal. 

“These officials are just like bandits. They confiscated and burned everything,” one Christian told Bitter Winter.

Churches within China are required to register with the government. But such churches – part of the Three-Self movement – are regulated heavily. In many locations, children cannot attend Three-Self churches. Sermons also must be approved. 

The regulation of Three-Self churches has forced millions of Chinese Christians underground.

Pastor and His Daughter Kidnapped with More than a Dozen Church Members in Nigeria

A pastor, his daughter, and more than a dozen churchgoers were kidnapped in an attack by a team of gunmen in the Kaduna state of Nigeria on Sunday that left one person dead.

Rev. ZakariahIdo, 11 girls, and five men were among those kidnapped in the early morning hours on Sunday. Sources have indicated that 20 gunmen attacked.

According to an online Nigerian newspaper called TheCable, the gunmen surrounded the church while choir members were practicing. “It was at about 12:30 midnight. We had combined choir practice in the church with other neighboring communities. We normally hold the combined choir practice from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.,” the witness said. “Everybody was terrified but there was no [way] we could run because they had already surrounded the church.”

The gunmen demanded everyone’s phones and asked where to find the pastor, according to Pastor NathWaziri, the district church council secretary. Parishioners showed them the pastor’s home, where he, his daughter, and several others were abducted. During the attack, one of the church members was killed.

“We are helpless because there's nothing we can do other than to report to the police when such incidents happen,” another eyewitness said. “We have no arms and we cannot stand them, we are just at their mercy because they are well armed and they always come in large numbers.”

According to locals, this is the fifth attack on their community by gunmen. Although no group has yet to take credit for the kidnapping, this Nigerian region has witnessed an alarming increase of attacks from Fulani extremists. This little known terror group has wreaked havoc on the middle belt of Nigeria, ranking them the fourth deadliest terrorist organization in the world, according to the Independent. Boko Haram, another powerful extremist group, dominates the north of Nigeria.

Christian Post reported that in March, the governor of Kaduna state issued a dusk-to-dawn curfew with the growing violence, targeted largely at Christians.

“It is really simplifying catastrophic incidents in Nigeria by saying ‘herder-farmer conflict’ and that does not solve the problem,” Stephen Enada, who co-founded the nongovernmental organization International Committee on Nigeria, told the Christian Post in March. “We need to face reality on the ground and call a spade a spade. In Southern Kaduna, a village is almost wiped out and over 200 people have been killed in the last week.”

The attack comes only weeks after Boko Haram kidnaped another pastor in Borno State. Nigeria ranks as the 12th worst country for Christian persecution, according to Open Doors. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has expressed apprehension for Nigeria, asking the State Department to designate the country of “particular concern” for religious freedom violations.

BFF – Testimonies @ Chennai

Chennai 

Here are some testimonies from the recently concluded BFF program at Chennai.

God heals and confirms that he talks to us

I did not know how to pray. My mother used to ask me, ‘ When  will you learn to pray’. After coming here  I learnt how to pray. It was difficult for me to find words to pray in Tamil. But God gave me words to pray. In the morning while singing, God told me to tell others that we are talking to each other. He cured my tooth ache  and back pain. I  ignored it thinking it was only my imagination. However, God told me this  morning to tell everyone that me and him were engaged  in a conversation and he was listening to me.

God liberates from sin

Even though I had always been hearing the word of God since childhood, I had never been fixed in the Lord, and was going back and forth. My baptism was being postponed, I felt like there was some sin in me. After coming here, from the first day to the last day, I felt I was being delivered from sin, problems, and depression. God helped me to take baptism as well.

God’ presence and healing

I belong to a traditional RC family. I do not have experience reading the bible. However, here I heard God calling  me and I felt the presence of God, I felt God always being with me. At a personal level, I came to know of all my problems and issues.  I feel light after the inner healing and forgiveness class – healing all my deep wounds.

God helps renew the mind

There were many blocks in me to attend the class.  During the five days and after baptism, I felt many changes and deliverance from fear and depression. Even during the anointing he showed me a light leading me away from a dark room. He cured me of worry and my mind is free. I knew only now that there were so many things in the bible.

God edifies and leads

I had throat infection and flu before coming here. By God’s grace I came here. During the first two days, there were a few struggles. After that God touched me and spoke to me, I felt deliverance in my life. During the anointing, I saw a vision, they were burying a dead body, the corpse suddenly stood up. At that point God told me that I need to die to self  and  live for him. I was S filled by the spirit.

Delhi

God moves mightily

During the first troop church at Khera  Khurd, Delhi, miracles took place. 3 people fell to the ground and started crying. One of the participants started speaking in tongues once again.. She had doubted earlier whether she could speak in tongues. There was fiery presence of the Holy Spirit in the room. Some saw vision while praying for others.

Prophecy NEWS Update

Shocking Replacement Theology Altar Call - "Repent For Standing With Israel
          

Jesus is my All in All. He is my Lord, my God, my Savior, my Redeemer, my King. He is my Life. Outside of Him, I have nothing. Outside of Him, I am nothing. Jesus is also the Messiah of Israel, and as Israel's Messiah, He confirms -- not cancels -- the Father's promises to the patriarchs.

These are Paul's exact words in Romans 15:8-9: "For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, 'Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.'"

How could it be otherwise? How could it be that Israel's Redeemer would cancel the promises God gave to Israel? How could it be that the long-awaited Messiah would nullify the oath God swore to the patriarchs? Yet this is what is being taught aggressively by an evangelical news network, a network that is spreading lies, misinformation, and exaggeration about Israel and the Jewish people on a regular basis.

TruNews' Altar Call

In fact, in what must be one of the sickest moments in the history "Christian" broadcasting, one of the hosts of this network -- ironically named TruNews -- gives an altar call for Christians to repent for standing with Israel. I kid you not. Watch it for yourself here, starting at 1:20:28 until 1:22:41.

The host, Doc Burkhart, leads his audience in a "sinner's prayer." He tells viewers to confess to God, "Lord, I'm so sorry. I don't how I was so deceived. I don't how I was so bewitched by all of this.

"I thought it was a good thing to support the people of Israel. I thought it was a good thing to help Israel. But now I see it's just people using the name of Israel, people using the people of Israel in order to line their own pockets, in order to build their own kingdoms, in order to make themselves feel important."

Help us champion truth, freedom, limited government and human dignity. Support The Stream » Burkhart then calls his viewers to repent of this and turn the other way, confessing, "Jesus, You are my Zion. Jesus, You are my Promised Land. Jesus, You are my Temple. Jesus, You are my Eternal Capitol, Lord." And in true "evangelical" fashion, Burkhart then urges those who responded to this prayer to contact his network.

How judgmental. How unchristian. How deceived.

What an ugly mixing of truth with error.

Jesus Confirms God's Promises

To repeat: Jesus is my All in All, my Everything. And He confirms, not cancels, God's promises to the patriarchs. Chief among those promises was the promise of the Land of Israel as a lasting inheritance.

As the psalmist wrote: "He remembers His covenant forever, the word that He commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant that He made with Abraham, His sworn promise to Isaac, which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying, 'To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.'" (Ps 105:8-11)

To repeat Paul's words: "For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs."

Sorry, TruNews, but I'll stay with Scripture. Sorry, Doc Burkhart, but I'll not repent of standing with the purposes of God.

For the record, I have called out TruNews publicly (see here and here) and reached out privately several times, to no avail.

TruNews' Invitation

Initially, in response to my challenge, TruNews invited me to come on their show, and I responded immediately with an enthusiastic "Yes." I simply requested that, for the sake of fairness, their leader, Rick Wiles, join me on my show as well.

He was not willing. I then I suggested we have a public debate. They said they were not interested in debate, but that I should rebuke Ben Shapiro as an antichrist. (I'm not making this up.) Finally, when their anti-Israel, anti-Jew campaign became even more pitched and ugly, I told them I would join them on their show as long as I was given equal time with their panel and that the show was aired unedited.

They said no to my offer, offended that I characterized their views as antisemitic. Sorry, but when you claim that the sexual revolution was a Zionist conspiracy -- among a litany of other accusations -- you're being antisemitic.

Now, TruNews is leading Christians in a sinner's prayer for standing with Israel. What's coming next?

The Truth of Scripture

As for the idea that Jesus is our Temple, our Zion, and our Promised Land, this is not Scriptural.

Rather, in Him, we have become a holy Temple, with Jesus as the chief Cornerstone (see 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:5). Jesus is not "our Temple."

And nowhere in the New Testament is it written that Jesus is our Promised Land or our Zion. Instead, the Gospel authors tell Zion -- meaning Jerusalem and the Jewish people -- that Jesus, the King, is coming to Zion (see Matthew 21:5; John 12:5; quoting from Zechariah 9:9).

And Paul says that God will lay in Zion a Stone of stumbling (speaking of Jesus), and that He, the Redeemer, will come from Zion (Romans 9:33; 11:26; quoting from Isaiah 28:16; 59:20-21).

Even the heavenly Zion is a place, not a person (see Hebrews 12:22). In fact, Jesus, the Lamb, stands in Zion (see Revelation 14:1). He is not Zion -- or the Promised Land.

Tragically, Burkhart relies on his viewers' love for Jesus to confuse the issues, as if they are being unspiritual -- not Christ-centered -- by standing with Israel or recognizing God's hand at work in our day.

Nothing could be further from the truth. To say it once more: Christ, the Messiah, confirms God's promises to the patriarchs, and those promises include the Land of Israel as a lasting inheritance.

Burkhart's Mistake

Burkhart and TruNews might just as well urge a starving person to repent for taking bread from a Christian missionary, leading them in a prayer of repentance that said, "Lord, forgive me for my sinfulness. I was being so carnal. I confess that Jesus is my Bread of Life."

That's just as ridiculous as the prayer he led his viewers in, confessing their "sin" of standing with Israel (not to mention slandering those who do as stand with Israel, branding us as duplicitous, money-grubbers).

The only difference in the two prayers is that Jesus, in fact, is our Bread of Life, whereas He is not our Promised Land or our Zion (whatever that even means).

Nothing Christian About This

TruNews has now crossed a precarious, ugly line. Let the viewers beware. Had they simply brought valid criticisms against the State of Israel, I would not be writing this. I would even affirm some of those criticisms myself.

Had they simply questioned where the nation of Israel today is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, I would not have called them out. I recognize that Christians can differ over prophecy.

Had they simply brought legitimate criticisms against the Jewish people as a whole, I would not be concerned. I bring such criticisms as well. But they have now equated Christian Zionism with rebellion against God and denial of the centrality of Jesus, at the same time spreading all kinds of libels against the Jewish people and the Jewish religion. There is nothing Christian about this. I urge them to repent.
