PASTOR JOHN CAO.png

I received an email from Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel and founder of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ – https://aclj.org), informing donor partners that Pastor John Cao, a US citizen, was wrongly convicted in China and sentenced to seven years, as a result of China’s increased crackdown on Christian pastors.

Pastor John is an American citizen from North Carolina, who has worked in China and Burma (Myanmar) for many years, providing for the poor, establishing schools for impoverished children and sharing the love of Christ. He has already been imprisoned for over 20 months and his health is deteriorating; he lost more than 50 pounds and has been forced to share a cell with 12 inmates, furnished with only one bed.

Jay Sekulow and his staff are working to get Pastor John released. They sent a letter to Chinese officials requesting his release and they are preparing to send another.

Please visit https://ACLJ.org to sign their petition for Pastor John’s release.

Please also consider making a donation, if you can, to assist with the costs associated with this Christian law firm’s tireless work to defend the rights and freedoms of Christians far and near.


In a separate situation, the Associated Press reported that a woman held in China said she was tortured and abused while incarcerated in one of the Chinese internment camps, where hundreds of thousands of religious minorities are imprisoned.

Mihrigul Tursun said she was interrogated for four consecutive days without sleep, her hair was shaved and she was subjected to an intrusive medical examination following her second arrest in 2017. She was treated worse after her third arrest.

“I thought that I would rather die than go through this torture and begged them to kill me,” 29-year-old Tursun reported at a National Press Club meeting.

Mihrigul moved to Egypt to study English, where she met her husband and they had triplets. She returned to China to visit her family, but was immediately detained and separated from her infant children. She said one of her triplets died and the other two developed health problems. She said her children had been operated on.

Human rights groups say China has detained about 2 million “Uighurs” (minority groups).

On November 26, 2018, more than 270 scholars from 26 countries issued a statement saying “mass human rights abuses and deliberate attacks on indigenous cultures” are taking place in China.

Please pray for the release of Pastor John Cao, and others imprisoned and tortured for their faith in China.

Let’s pray for these daily, as we also pray for the release of 15-year-old Leah Sharibu, who is being held in Nigeria by Boko Haram terrorists; and for the release of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who is being held in Iran for his Christian faith also.

The Word of God tells us,

“…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” James 5:16

Jesus said,

“Then (in the last days) shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake” Matthew 24:9

“Again, I say to you, that if two of you (saints) shall agree on earth as touching anything they ask, it shall be done for them of My Father in heaven” Matthew 18:19

Salvation is offered to everyone who repents of sin and receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior; unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate (Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-6). Now is the time of salvation for everyone; tomorrow, or even the next hour, could be too late.

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth (Revelation 20:12-15)? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page – your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.

LEAH SHARIBU

Leah Sharibu, 15-year-old school girl kidnapped by Boko Haram

Earlier this year, on February 19, 2018, 110 schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria. The Muslim terrorists killed five of these girls and later released 104, but they are still holding 15-year-old Leah Sharibu because she refuses to renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam.

Boko Haram has threatened to kill Leah if she doesn’t convert, but they have also, more recently, stated they will make her a slave for life.

This 15-year-old Christian girl’s friends were either killed, or they pledged their allegiance to Islam, but Leah refuses, and she is now the only one left of that group of 110 girls, who were kidnapped and held by Boko Haram terrorists, because of her love for Christ and her refusal to deny Him, even to her death.

Leah is more brave than most men in that situation and she is 15-years-old!

I am calling on all saints to pray for her daily, until she is released.

I will be praying that the men surrounding her either repent and set her free, or that they begin dropping dead. I am praying that they start dropping dead in such numbers, anyone surrounding her, that they release this young girl out of the fear of God!

Paul reproved the saints in Corinth for not knowing how to pray about those who refuse to repent (about one who was sleeping with his stepmother):

“And you are puffed up (proud) and have not rather mourned that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among youdeliver such a one over to satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit might be saved in the Day of the Lord Jesus” 1 Corinthians 5:2, 5

In other words, a member of the church was sleeping with his stepmother, and the Apostle Paul rebuked the church, saying they should deliver him over to satan for the destruction of his flesh, so he might repent on his deathbed and perhaps be saved, before he stands before the Lord Jesus in judgment. The members of the church in Corinth weren’t reproving this man, or praying the right prayers for him.

How much more should we pray that these terrorists repent and release this 15-year-old Christian girl; but if they don’t, pray also that God takes them out, destroys them.

Some might say that’s too harsh; w e need to be “lovey dovey” to maniacal terrorists and just ask them to release this Christian girl and pray for them; but if they don’t, oh well, we have shown the love of Christ; we did all we could do…

…only if she isn’t your daughter!

When Christians understand how much God hates certain sins, and what the Word of God says we should do and how to pray, especially for a beloved girl like this one, then they will see the results to their prayers.

Please pray with me, those of you who know how to pray and have faith, and we will see the answers to our prayers.

One more thing needs to be said on this subject of “effective fervent prayer” (James 5:16). The Word of God also tells us about a couple, members of the church, who lied to the Holy Ghost over some property they had pledged to the Lord,

“A certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession and kept back part of the price (he had pledged it all to God); his wife was also privy to it (his deception), and brought a certain part (of the money) and laid it at the apostles’ feet; but Peter said, Ananias, why has satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and keep back part of the price of the land? While it remained, was it not yours, and after it was sold, was it not in your own power? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to me, but to God. Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost, and great fear came on all those who heard these things…It was about the space of three hours after, when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter said to her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much? She said, Yes, for so much. Peter then said to her, How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out. She fell down immediately at his feet and yielded up the ghost, and the young men came in, finding her dead, and carried her forth and buried her by her husband” Acts 5:1-5, 7-10

Now, it is abhorring to God that this 15-year-old Christian girl sits a slave among Muslim terrorists, who has placed her life on the line for the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. How much more should these terrorists start dropping dead around this girl, beloved of God, than two who lied over a piece of property?! Ask yourself that question.

Pray with me, saints of God. I urge you to pray likewise, in Jesus’s name, and let’s see this girl set free quickly. She has already been nine months in captivity!


Please pray for all Christians held in captivity daily, whose names we don’t even know.


Persecutions have drastically increased in China; they are severely oppressed, incarcerated and perhaps being tortured. China has had a history of being very vicious to Christians.  Please pray for their deliverance from persecution, for their strength, beyond strength, endurance, provision and even “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).


YOUCEF NADARKHANI 2

Youcef Nadarkhani and his wife

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani of Iran has been arrested again. He was beaten and his young son tased, when police entered their home to arrest Pastor Youcef. He and his family urgently need our prayers for his release and exoneration.

The first time he was arrested, he was sentenced to die for his faith, “apostasy;” but Pastor Youcef was never a Muslim and he denied the charges. He refused to renounce his faith, so he was sentenced to death by hanging. Every day in prison, he was told to renounce his Christian faith and his life would be spared, but he said, “I cannot.”

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) publicized Pastor Youcef’s case and ultimately the White House (Obama’s administration) called for his freedom (under pressure), as did Members of Congress, and France. Other nations and finally the UN and EU even chimed in for Pastor Youcef’s release. The saints prayed fervently, daily, and Pastor Youcef was acquitted and released from prison, after spending nearly three years confined and facing death for his Christian faith.

Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness in answering our prayers!

The Iranian regime is angry over US sanctions and these cowards are taking out their anger against Pastor Youcef. They have no common decency, as they take out their spite against an innocent Christian man because of sanctions.

God will intervene on his behalf again, because he is beloved. We need to pray daily, with faith unwavering.


bob-levinson-11-14-16

Screen shot: YouTube.com – Bob (Robert) Levinson 4/2011

I am also asking the saints to place Bob Levinson on your daily prayer list, if you haven’t already. I have no knowledge if he, or his family, are saved. Nevertheless, Levinson is an American citizen and he was abducted on Kish Island by Iranian officials on March 9, 2007. He was last seen in photos, held in captivity, in April 2011.

Barack Hussein Obama, Muslim traitor, never demanded Levinson’s release during his nuclear deal with Iran. Bob Levinson was “tossed under the bus” by Obama.

Please pray for his safe return home. The Lord laid him on my heart many years ago, so I pray for him daily, and I believe there is a reason for that; I believe he is still alive.

Jesus said to His disciples (we, the faithful saints, are also His disciples),

“Again, I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven” Matthew 18:19

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering, for he that wavers is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed; let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord” James 1:6-7

Jesus never lies!

Salvation is offered to everyone who repents of sin and receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior; unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate (Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-6). Now is the time of salvation for everyone; tomorrow, or even the next hour, could be too late.

Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and those remaining shall surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth (Revelation 20:12-15)? If not, salvation is only a prayer away.
