I don't usually sign petitions; but I signed this one. I just watched the video from Voice of the Martyrs that gives an account of the first 50 days of torture endured by Gao Zhisheng. His crime against China: being a Christian attorney fighting for the civil rights of Chinese Christians.
American Christians are not ready for what is coming. I am not a prophet; but I believe REAL persecution will hit the American Church soon. Are you ready?
Are you ready?

I have a burning to support the persecuted Christians all over the world in prayer and deed. Last November I supported that International Day of Prayer by going in front of our church during the service and having a special prayer for those that are persecuted for their faith in Christ. I read Hebrews 13:3, Matt. 5:44 & 1 Cor. 12:26.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I did not much feedback from those Christians that I'm around. Perhaps they are just comfortable going to church on Sundays and donating money to specific causes, which is fine.
Keep in mind that I'm the most timid, bookish person around so praying in front of a large group was very difficult for me. That discomfort did not matter as I know that I was prompted from the Holy Spirit to at least do something. Thoughts and prayers are important but action a necessity to bring this topic out into the open.
I encourage everyone to watch the Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) ministry at persecution.com. Also check out the Last Words Radio (LWR) on iTunes for real world examples on witnessing. It has made me move out of the reading to the actual talking and getting out to share the Gospel to all.
