PASTOR NERREN

Pastor Bryan Nerren and Family

Pastor Bryan Nerren was discriminatorily detained in India for over seven months because of his Christian faith, but all thanks and praise to God, the charges against Pastor Nerren were dropped and he flew home to his family, finally, on Monday, May 18th!

First, we give all praise, honor and glory to God for, again, delivering His saints from captivity. An innocent person being held in a foreign country against their will is “captivity.”

Second, thank you, everyone, who prayed for Pastor Nerren for months, nonstop, as we requested in our previous report: https://nowprophecy.wordpress.com/2019/12/16/a-call-for-prayer-4/. The hand of God is moved by the prayers of His saints and He has, again, honored the prayers of those who have faithfully prayed for Pastor Nerren’s release to come home. 


The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has tirelessly petitioned Members of Congress, and other legislative bodies, and they have worked with local counsel to gain Pastor Nerren’s release. Jay Sekulow and his team have been instrumental in securing many of our religious freedoms in the United States, and they also fight for the freedoms of persecuted Christians in other nations. This nonprofit Christian law firm is essential to Christians in the US and other nations and is well-deserving of our prayers and financial support. If you would like to become a partner in their constant battle for our religious freedoms, please visit the ACLJ website: https://aclj.org/


Pastor Nerren has led a nonprofit ministry in India and Nepal for more than 17 years. The future of his ministry is now uncertain, as these nations have escalated their persecution of Christians in recent years. Please continue to pray for Pastor Nerren’s safety, and those who work with him, as they continue ministering in India and Nepal.

Our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is a prayer-answering God! Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and thousands upon thousands have been healed by the miracle-working hand of our God!

Can you Hindus say the same? Can you Muslims say the same? Can you, who serve any other god, say the same? Why not come to the God who delivers, saves, loves you, has promised those who love Him eternal life, who performs miracles and fulfills the prophecies given by His people throughout generations?

Either come to the Living God, the One who has proved Himself to His people throughout the ages, or continue to serve your dead idol, who is unable to give you anything, because it only exists in your mind; but worse yet, will lead you straight into hell fire after this life, because the Word of the Living God says all will stand before the judgment seat of God and idolaters will all be cast into the lake of fire to burn there forever, because they denied the One and Only True and Living God, and refused to accept the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for your sins, so you could enter heaven, if you will only believe.

“The Great White Throne Judgment

“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades (Hell) delivered up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire; this is the second death, and anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire” Revelation 20:11-15

“But the fearful, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers (original Greek – pharmakeia – those who sell/use drugs), idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” Revelation 21:8


Please continue praying daily for the following saints who are still held captive:

LEAH SHARIBU 

Leah Sharibu, abducted at age 15

Leah Sharibu

Leah Sharibu was kidnapped with 110 other schoolgirls in Nigeria by the Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram on February 19, 2018. The terrorists killed five of those girls and released 104, once they renounced their Christian faith, but they are still holding Leah Sharibu, because she refuses to renounce her faith in Jesus.

*Six more Christian girls have been kidnapped in Nigeria by Boko Haram and they too need our urgent prayers daily.


YOUSEF NADARKHANI AND FAMILY.jpg

Pastor Nadarkhani and his family

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was previously arrested and sentenced to die for his Christian faith, “apostasy,” but after much prayer and public outcry, Nadarkhani was acquitted and released from prison, after having spent nearly three years in prison. Pastor Nadarkhani was arrested again on July 22, 2018. Iranian forces raided his home, beating him in front of his family, and they even tasered one of his young sons when he answered the door. Only a Muslim terrorist would taser a young boy, an innocent boy, who simply answered the door! We need another miracle for Pastor Nadarkhani. God delivered him before and He will deliver him again! We have to pray daily, saints.


PASTOR JOHN CAO 

Pastor John Cao

Pastor John Cao, a US citizen from North Carolina, was doing charitable work in China, when he was arrested and sentenced to seven years prison for his Christian faith. Pastor Cao’s health is deteriorating and he has already lost at least 50 pounds; he could potentially die in China’s harsh prison environment, unless God delivers him. He shares a cell with 12 inmates which is furnished with only one bed!


BOB LEVINSON 

Bob (Robert) Levinson

Bob Levinson was arrested in Iran in 2007 and has been held by the terrorist regime since that time. He is an American citizen and he was taken into custody while working as a private investigator. Iranian officials interrogated Levinson in 2007, but have since denied knowing his whereabouts. I am not aware of Bob Levinson’s religion/faith, but he and his family need our prayers.

All of these desperately need our prayers; please pray for them daily.

The Word of God tells us,

“All these are the beginning of sorrows; then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake” Matthew 24:8-9

“There should be no schism in the body (body of Christ, the Church), but the members should have the same care for one another. And whether one member suffers, all members suffer with him; or if one member is honored, all members rejoice with him. Now you are the body of Christ and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:25-27


julian-assange-a-national-hero

Julian Assange

Julian Assange took political asylum in the Embassy of Ecuador in London in 2012, as he fought legal persecution from Sweden and the United Kingdom for his part in exposing criminals on the internet, most importantly high profile pedophiles in the United States, and Hillary Clinton’s crimes; albeit Sweden claimed they wanted him on a rape charge, which has since been dropped. After nearly seven years in asylum, the Embassy of Ecuador handed Assange over to London police in April 2019, where he has remained in solitary confinement and in ill health. The UK pedophile nation is, bottom line, torturing Assange in the HM Prison Belmarsh, for exposing pedophiles and Hillary Clinton’s crimes. Seth Rich died with a gunshot to his back on a Washington, DC, street for exposing Hillary; that’s what they would really like to do to Julian Assange! Please pray with me for his vindication and release. I have no idea of his religious affiliation, so we should also pray for his salvation, in the event he hasn’t received Christ as his Savior. No one should suffer the torture he has endured for eight years for exposing pedophiles, the worst scum on earth who need to be executed for their crimes, or for exposing the crimes of Hillary Clinton, next to the worst scum on earth, if not for her treasonous acts, for the slaughter of the unborn and those babies born alive! 

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, having no conscience (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.

“The Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him who hears say, Come; and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely” Revelation 22:17

A Call for Prayer

I have requested prayer previously for the following persecuted saints, and they still need prayer, so this is a reminder for some of you, friends, please keep praying.

LEAH SHARIBU 

Leah Sharibu, abducted at age 15

Leah Sharibu

Leah Sharibu was kidnapped with 110 other schoolgirls in Nigeria by the Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram on February 19, 2018.

PASTOR NERREN.jpg 

Pastor Nerren (left) and his family

Pastor Bryan Nerren

American Pastor Bryan Nerren is a Christian pastor who lives in Tennessee with his family. He was attending a Christian conference in India and was arrested after being asked if he was a Christian. He has been held in India because of his Christian faith since October 5, 2019. He was not allowed any visitation by his attorney, or the US Consulate. His passport was confiscated and India refuses to allow him to return home to his family. Pastor Nerren has a special needs daughter and his family is devastated. India is listed as the #10 nation on the Open Doors World Watch List for Christian Persecution.

PASTOR JOHN CAO 

Pastor John Cao

Pastor John Cao, a US citizen from North Carolina, was doing charitable work in China, when he was arrested and sentenced to seven years prison for his Christian faith. Pastor Cao’s health is deteriorating and he has already lost at least 50 pounds; he could potentially die in China’s harsh prison environment, unless God delivers him. He shares a cell with 12 inmates which is furnished with only one bed!

BOB LEVINSON 

Bob (Robert) Levinson

Bob Levinson was arrested in Iran in 2007 and has been held by the terrorist regime since that time. He is an American citizen, reportedly a former CIA agent, and he was taken into custody while working as a private investigator. Iranian officials interrogated Levinson in 2007, but have since denied knowing his whereabouts. I am not aware of Bob Levinson’s religion/faith, but he and his family also need our prayers.

All of these desperately need our prayers; please pray for them daily.

The Word of God tells us,

“All these are the beginning of sorrows; then they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and you shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake” Matthew 24:8-9

“There should be no schism in the body (body of Christ, the Church), but the members should have the same care for one another. And whether one member suffers, all members suffer with him; or if one member is honored, all members rejoice with him. Now you are the body of Christ and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:25-27

We are all very busy, some more than others, and if you can’t pray daily for all of these due to time constraints, please enter them on a prayer list, or in your Prayer Book, and lay hands on the prayers and pray one prayer over them collectively (this is what I have to do due to the volume of prayer requests I have received). God understands our time limitations and He will still honor those prayers.

God always answers our prayers. He has already delivered many saints in answer to our prayers:

Youcef Nadarkhani delivered from death row during his first incarceration in Iran: https://propheticnewsletter.yolasite.com/news/youcef-nadarkhani-released-from-prison-in-iran-

American Veteran Amir Hekmati released from Iranian prison: https://propheticnewsletter.yolasite.com/news/pastor-saeed-abedini-and-amir-hekmati-freed-from-iranian-prison-


God knows there are many more; but know for certain, after praying daily for these listed above, God delivered every one of them miraculously! Let us continue praying for those in prisons and those being held against their will because of their Christian faith, and we will see them released to their loved ones. Prayer changes things!

Jesus said,

“Again, I say to you, that if two of you 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

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a Christian law firm, has fought for the release of many persecuted Christians, and they are still fighting for the rights of Christians suffering persecution throughout the world.

In addition to your prayers, you can also help by supporting ACLJ at https://aclj.org

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, having no conscience (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.

BREAKING NEWS: Asia Bibi’s Death Sentence Overturned By the Supreme Court!

Please be advised that WordPress includes advertisements on this site; they are not selected by Bible Prophecy

ASIA BIBI 2

Screen shot: YouTube.com – Asia Bibi

I received an email from the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ – aclj.org) today, informing me that the Supreme Court of Pakistan just overturned the blasphemy conviction and death sentence (by hanging) for Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of five, who was wrongly convicted of blasphemy and who has waited nine long years for justice!

This acquittal is nothing short of a miracle, in that others had been killed for defending Asia Bibi, and these Supreme Court Justices were under death threats also.

Thank you, Father in heaven, for your faithfulness in answering our prayers for justice and for the life of Asia Bibi!

Thank you, Supreme Court Justices of Pakistan, for doing the right thing, for your just decision. God bless you and protect you!

Muslims are now rioting in the streets of Pakistan; they are blocking traffic, setting tires on fire and threatening to kill Asia Bibi upon her release!

Even though I am excited beyond words for Asia Bibi, and I cease not to give Him thanks, once again, for answering our prayers, we can’t stop praying for her now, saints.

Our all-powerful God, Almighty God and Creator of all things, Who answered our prayers for an acquittal, and moved on the hearts of these judges to make this just decision, will arrange for Asia Bibi and her family’s safe exit; we only need to pray and believe Him.

Please continue to pray daily for Asia Bibi and her family’s safe exit out of Pakistan.

MIRACLE PRAISE REPORTS:

Asia Bibi: Acquitted (faced execution)!

Pastor Andrew Brunson: Released from Turkish prison!

Kim Sang-duk: Released from N Korean prison!

Kim Dong-chul: Released from NKorean prison!

Kim Hak-song: Released from N Korean prison!

Christina Nuh: Taken by ISIS in Iraq, returned to parents!

Meriam Ibrahim: Released from Sudanese prison (faced execution)!

Pastor Saeed Abedini: Released from Iranian prison!

Amir Hekmati: Released from Iranian prison!

Pastor Michael Ruot: Released from Sudanese prison!      

Pastor Peter Reith: Released from Sudanese prison!

Pastor Kuwa Shamal: Released from Sudanese prison!

Pastor Hassan Abduraheem: Released from Sudanese prison!

Gilad Shalit: Israeli soldier released from Gaza!

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani: Released from Iranian prison * Update: Arrested again, please pray daily for his protection and release

I prayed daily for these, as did many other Christians, while they were incarcerated, held captive, and faced executions. We received miracles in behalf of all of these; 15 out of 15 RELEASED – ALL MIRACLES! What are the odds in that, without God’s divine intervention?

These are all the results of prayer, fasting and faith. God’s Holy Word never fails.

Jesus said,

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

Did Jesus ever lie?

I will admit that some don’t receive the answers to their prayers.

First, these promises were made to the disciples (followers) of Jesus, not hypocrites. If you live like the devil, but still pray, or if you live in continuous, unrepentant sin, but still pray, don’t expect to receive answers to your prayers. God might answer you, but He has not promised to do so. *He will always answer the sinner’s prayer of repentance, unless one has crossed the line, become reprobate (Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-6).

Second, faith must accompany the prayers:

“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 he shall receive anything of the Lord” James 1:6-7

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.

Pastor Andrew Brunson Released from Turkey!

Please be advised that WordPress includes advertisements on this site; they are not selected by Bible Prophecy

*10/29/18: Update to the order of thanks; God first always

pastor-andrew-brunson

Screen shot: YouTube.com – Pastor Andrew Brunson

PASTOR ANDREW BRUNSON RELEASED FROM TURKEY!

Pastor Andrew Brunson, the pastor of a small Christian church in Turkey, was arrested in December 2016, and charged with attempting to overthrow Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamic regime.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Erdogan is intent on establishing a global Islamic Caliphate, as are other Muslim tyrants throughout the Middle East, and he cracked down on Christians in Turkey.

President Trump pressed for Pastor Andrew’s release since taking office, and as in the case of Christians Kim Dong-chul, Kim Hak-song and Kim Sang-duk held in North Korea’s prisons, President Trump has not failed in his determination to relieve the suffering of persecuted Christians. Prevailing in his (Trump’s) attempts to see Pastor Andrew Brunson free, Turkey finally released him and he arrived with his wife, Norine in Washington on Saturday.

Thank you, Lord God Almighty!

Thank you, President Donald Trump!

All of the above persecuted Christians were in prison during the Obama stint in the White House. Did he do one thing to help an American Christian suffering under tyranny?

NO!

The lying Muslim, who fraudulently held himself out to be a “Christian,” did absolutely nothing to assist persecuted Christians. Moreover, he gave arms and billions of American dollars to Muslim terrorists!

While Christians were being beheaded and chopped to pieces, even their children, in Syria, did the fraud, Obama, do one thing to help them?

NO!

In fact, about 80 out of 100 immigrants given asylum from the nations where Christians were being persecuted and slaughtered were Muslims, not the persecuted Christians!

Vote for any Liberal Luciferian Lunatic (LLL) Democrat and you will get more of the same!

President Trump is blessed by God, because he lifts up God’s Holy Name throughout this nation. God has blessed him with the ability to persevere for the release of persecuted Christians in a predominantly anti-Christian world today. God raised him up and placed him in office for such a time as this, friends.

President Trump pressed for Pastor Brunson’s release, and while Erdogan refused initially, Trump sanctioned Turkish officials and doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Turkey, because of Pastor Brunson’s persecution, on account of his Christian faith.

President Donald Trump is a reprieve from God to this nation. Every US citizen needs to be grateful for such a president, who not only negotiates the best international trade deals for American citizens, but also gives from his heart to the plight of even the pastor of a small group of Christians in Turkey, as well as other persecuted saints throughout the world.

If the citizens of the United States don’t turn to God with thanksgiving, it will return to the days of such evil traitors as Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary!

*There was a time when such traitors were assassinated in the United States.

It is the responsibility of every Christian to thank God for President Trump, to back him up, and get out there and vote for him during the upcoming 2020 elections.

*If you are a registered Democrat, your vote for a Republican presidential candidate doesn’t count. No Christian should be a registered Democrat. In fact, if you claim to be a Christian and you are a registered Democrat, you aren’t a Christian! That isn’t a political statement; it is a statement of faith. The Democratic Party’s uniform political agenda is so evil you simply can’t be a Christian and remain a Democrat – the two cannot mix. That would be like saying the devil is a friend of God.

Pastor Brunson and his wife were flown by military jet from Turkey on Friday, and after a stopover in Germany for a medical checkup, they were greeted by President Trump in the Oval Office within 24 hours. Pastor Brunson prayed for President Trump during his visit. His prayer was this (in part):

“Give him (President Trump) supernatural wisdom to accomplish all the plans you have for this country and for him. I ask that You give him wisdom in how to lead this country into righteousness. I ask that You give him perseverance and endurance and courage to stand for truth. I ask that You protect him from slander from enemies, from those who would undermine. I ask that You make him a great blessing to this country; fill him with your wisdom and strength and perseverance, and we bless him. May he be a great blessing to our country; in Jesus’s name, we bless you. Amen.”

Pastor Andrew Brunson is an American who lived in Black Mountain, North Carolina. He moved his family to Turkey and pastored a small church, Izmir Resurrection Church, and has lived in Turkey for about 20 years. He was arrested on false charges and faced 35 years in prison for espionage; but thanks to God, and His man President Donald Trump, Pastor Brunson is free!

We called for prayer for Pastor Brunson’s release on a number of occasions over the past couple of years, so it is with much gratitude that I thank all of those who prayed, and I thank God for answering the collective prayers of many Christians throughout the United States, Turkey and abroad, for Pastor Andrew Brunson’s release.

Thank you, Father in heaven, for hearing and answering the prayers of Your people. Thank you for your faithfulness; thank you for President Donald Trump!

The Word of God tells us,

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

Jesus said,

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

This is a conditional promise to the saints of God: 1) prayers ordained by God, not the whims of carnality, 2) the prayers of God’s faithful servants, not those who hang on to His name, but live like the devil, 3) those who “wait upon the Lord” (Isaiah 40:31), 4) those who continue in faith without wavering (James 1:6-8), as if seeing that which has not manifested yet (Hebrews 11).

God has answered many of our prayers for the persecuted saints. Here are some praise reports:

The release of Meriam Ibrahim, Saeed Abedini, Gilad Shalit, Pastors Michael Ruot and Peter Reith, Pastor Kuwa Shamal, Amir Hekmati and Pastor Hassan Abduraheem, Youcef Nadarkhani (Update: Pastor Youcef was arrested again – please pray)!

We also prayed daily for three-year-old Christina Nuh, an Iraqi child taken by ISIS terrorists. Christina’s mother, Aida, who is a Christian, publicly proclaimed, “Jesus can bring her back.” Christina was returned to her parents after three years by the great, miracle-working hand of God!

We prayed daily for the release of Kim Dong-chul, Kim Sang-duk (Tony Kim) and Kim Hak-song from North Korean prisons, which appeared to be an impossibility in the natural realm, but they were released because all things are possible with God!

If not for God’s divine intervention, President Trump’s efforts, Pastor Brunson would likely have spent his remaining years languishing in a harsh Turkish prison for his Christian faith.

Jesus told us this would happen in the latter days,

“Then 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

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). 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.

ASIA BIBI 2

Screen shots: YouTube.com – Asia Bibi, wife and mother of five

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is right now collecting signatures to petition for Asia Bibi, wife and mother of five, whose life hangs in the balance, as the Supreme Court of Pakistan prepares to hand down their verdict on appeal.

Asia’s suffering in Pakistan because of her Christian faith is an outrage! She has languished in prison for the past nearly eight years (seven years and 11 months), after being sentenced to hang for her Christian faith. She is now awaiting a Supreme Court decision on her final appeal, as to whether or not she will hang for her faith!

Please read the following information about her case and current situation, as summarized by ACLJ, and please visit their website to sign the petition in her behalf: https://aclj.org/


After years of delays, seven years and eleven months to the day after she was sentenced to death by hanging for her Christian faith, Christian mom Asia Bibi has finally had her appeal heard by the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

A three-member panel of the Supreme Court of Pakistan consisting of Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, and Justice Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel heard arguments in Asia Bibi’s case yesterday. Asia was arrested in June 2009 and sentenced to death in 2010 for blaspheming the Prophet Muhammad’s name.

As we have previously explained:

Asia Bibi was convicted . . . under Pakistan’s medieval blasphemy laws and sentenced to death for blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad after she offered water to a Muslim co-worker who believed Asia had made the water ceremonially unclean by drinking from the same cup.

Since then the Christian mother of five has languished on death row, while her husband and children wait anxiously, praying for a miracle.

While the Chief Justice instructed the media to refrain from reporting details of yesterday’s hearing until the verdict is announced, Pakistani newspapers have published the following.

During a two-hour long argument, Asia’s lawyer, Saif-ul-Malook, raised multiple substantive and procedural errors made throughout the investigation, trial, and conviction since June 2009.

Bibi’s lawyer, Saiful Mulook, [asked] why the June 14, 2009 incident had been reported on June 19, [a delay usually considered fatal to the prosecution’s case].

He also recalled that a case was filed against Bibi by an [Islamic] leader in the village of Katanwala in Nankana Sahib, according to which Asia Bibi had confessed to committing blasphemy.

“What we can conclude from your statements is that the [Islamic] leader himself did not witness the incident as it happened,” Justice Khosa observed during the hearing. “No blasphemous language was uttered in the presence of the [Islamic] leader.”

Asia Bibi’s attorney, Mr. Malook, informed the Court:

Asia Bibi and the two Muslim women had had a heated exchange when the argument broke out, the lawyer told the court. The reason behind it was that the women had refused to drink water from the same bowl as Asia.

He further stated:

“The statements of the Muslim women, Asma and Isma, were found to be contradictory.” He said that “the investigation was faulty and grounded in malicious intent. In such a situation, Section 295-C [one of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws] is inapplicable.”

Responding to Mr. Malook, the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) “wondered whether the assistant superintendent [of] police’s probe into the matter could be relied upon, to which the lawyer replied that police had wrongfully registered the case.”

“The witness testimonies did not state that she had used blasphemous language for the Holy Quran,” he said. “No blasphemous words were used at all. Asia, in her statement, said that she could not even conceive of committing blasphemy,” Saiful Mulook stated for the court.

He added that she respects Islamic education and the Holy Prophet “with all her heart”.

“She simply had an argument with two women. During that argument, they exchanged harsh words,” the lawyer said.

“What kind of incident is this? That you were argued with, harsh words were used for you, and then the case was also filed against you?” the CJP wondered.

“Are you suggesting that it is possible that the person who filed the case — the [Islamic] leader — is acting on someone else’s behest?” Justice Khosa asked. “That he is a frontman and someone else is behind him?”

“It is possible that this is the case,” the lawyer said. He went on to reiterate that the witnesses were “lying”.

The lawyer also informed the bench that Bibi, who is an illiterate woman, was referred to as a Christian preacher in the FIR, when she cannot be considered so.

“This reflects ill-intention [on the part of the complainant],” he added.

After hearing argument by Asia’s attorney, the Court heard the complainant’s attorney.

Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhry, the lawyer representing complainant Qari Islam, argued that Bibi had used blasphemous words regarding the Prophet.

“These [blasphemous statements] are the same words that Christians usually use,” he said.

However, Justice Khosa remarked that it was possible that the blasphemous words that Bibi was accused of uttering were actually made by the lawyer who drafted the complaint against her.

Justice Khosa then repeated his observation that the imam of the mosque [who is the complainant in this case] had not been a direct witness to the incident.

“[However,] he [the imam] later became a crusader [seeking justice],” he said, noting that a mosque imam’s word would be generally respected by locals due to social conventions.

However, the lawyer contended that no malicious intent had been apparent on the part of the prosecution.

But Justice Khosa wondered why each witness had given a different statement on the panchayat [a local village elders’ court where Asia was forced to confess].

“The reverence for the Prophet (PBUH) is part of our faith,” the judge remarked, before asking the complainant’s lawyer to support his arguments with evidence.

He said that “it hurts the entire nation when the accused are acquitted due to technicalities”.

“There is a lot of contradiction between statements given by the people [involved in this case],” the CJP noted.

“Blasphemy is a heinous crime,” he observed. “[But] it remains to be seen whether the allegations [against Bibi] were proven.”

The judge directed the complainant’s lawyer to present evidence based on testimonies. “A lot is being done to defame Islam,” the chief justice said. “All this is being done to incite us.”

The court did not provide any date when the verdict will be announced. Given the religiously-charged atmosphere of the country regarding blasphemy cases, it is understandable that the court would avoid announcing its decision yesterday, especially if it is in Asia Bibi’s favor.

While many people have been murdered over blasphemy allegations, so far the Pakistani government has never carried out the death sentence. We hope and pray that the Supreme Court’s record of overturning blasphemy convictions remains the same. However, if the court upholds her conviction, Asia’s only recourse would be a clemency petition to the President. As you might recall, the late Governor of the Punjab, Salman Taseer, was murdered by his own security guard while Taseer was preparing a clemency petition for Asia.

With that in mind, we hope and pray for God’s wisdom for the justices and mercy and safety for Asia and her family. We ask for continued prayers from our members as we all wait for the verdict. We will continue our constant advocacy for this Christian mother’s freedom.


Jesus told us this would happen,

“They shall put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time will come when whoever kills you will think that he does God a service” John 16:2

Let us be reminded, saints, of what Jesus also said to believers,

“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.

This is God’s promise to the saints.

Praise Report: These were released when we agreed in prayer:

Pastor Saeed Abedini

Christina Nuh – three-year-old abducted by ISIS, found, returned to parents!

Kim Dong-chul, Kim Hak-song and Kim Sang-duk

Pastor Kuwa Shamal

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani (needs prayer, arrested again!)

Gilad Shalit

Meriam Ibrahim and her two children in prison

Pastors Michael Ruot and Peter Reith in Sudan

Amir Hekmati

Will you agree with me for Asia?

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). 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.

Julian Assange Faces Eviction from Embassy

FREE ASSANGE.png

JULIAN ASSANGE FACES EVICTION FROM EMBASSY

Headlines over the last several days read Julian Assange is facing eviction from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London any day now. We don’t know this to be a fact, but it is reportedly developing, and the fact that his internet and phone have been cut since March, except calls from his attorneys, is not a good sign.

Assange and his colleagues have exposed criminals, but have posed no harm to those who are innocent. They have exposed vile pedophiles, child traffickers, who are still walking free, and the utterly wicked and treasonous crimes of Hillary Clinton.

The work of Assange and his colleagues have also helped Christians and conservatives stay on the internet, who would otherwise have been censored.

Julian Assange needs our prayers, friends.

We prayed daily for three-year-old Christina Nuh, an Iraqi child taken by ISIS terrorists. Christina’s mother, Aida, who is a Christian, publicly proclaimed, “Jesus can bring her back.” Christina was returned to her parents after three years by the great, miracle-working hand of God!

We prayed daily for the release of Kim Dong-chul, Kim Sang-duk (Tony Kim) and Kim Hak-song from North Korean prisons, which appeared to be an impossibility in the natural realm, but they were released because all things are possible with God!

God has answered many other prayers, such as those prayed daily for the release of Youcef Nadarkhani, Meriam Ibrahim, Saeed Abedini, Gilad Shalit, Pastors Michael Ruot and Peter Reith, Pastor Kuwa Shamal, Amir Hekmati and Pastor Hassan Abduraheem, until we witnessed the freedom of each one!

Please pray for Julian Assange, that God will provide his freedom out of the hands of those who would actually like to see him, and his colleagues, dead (some who have already paid that price), because they expose abominable crimes.

Has anyone noticed the difference between the treatment of treasonous Chelsea Manning, who released classified US military documents to Wikileaks – and walks free, versus the threats waged against Julian Assange by US officials? The DC pedophiles really like transgenders and they help boost their depopulation agenda too!

Assange, to my knowledge, is not a Christian, but he has been used of God to uncover a lot of evil, so we need to pray for his salvation, in the event he is not saved, and for his freedom.

The Word of God tells us,

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

Jesus said,

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

God doesn’t always answer immediately; in fact, He doesn’t provide an immediate answer in most cases. He allows our faith to be tested. Sometimes, things even get perilous, before a miraculous answer is given; albeit, God is always faithful.

Julian Assange has already waited a long time, six years, but I have been praying for him a while now. Will you agree with me in prayer and take part in the next miracle?

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.


During the persecutions of Protestants by the Roman Catholics in Germany, a most bloody tragedy occurred at Magdeburg in the year 1631. Generals Tilly and Pappenheim, having taken the Protestant city by storm, upwards of twenty thousand people were slain during the carnage, without distinction of status, sex or age; and six thousand were drowned while attempting to escape over the River Elbe. The remaining inhabitants were stripped naked, severely scourged, had their ears cropped and being yoked together like oxen were moved into the river to drown – all in the name of God (the god of Catholics, who is Lucifer)!

Excerpts taken from Fox’s Book of Martyrs – Zondervan Publishing House (1926)

A few hundred years ago, Fox’s Book of Martyrs was chained to every pulpit, alongside the Holy Bible. I suppose people decided to turn their heads away from such violent crimes and become more “dignified.” We dishonor those who suffered by burying their testimonies and martyrdom. It also seems most churches today are too “dignified” for the Holy Spirit and fire, Who fell on the apostles of the early church (Acts 2)!

The Catholic Church has never issued an apology for the crimes committed during the Inquisition and the brutal torture and murders of Protestant Christians, who denounced papal authority, denied Purgatory, the selling of indulgences in sin, the worship of idols, and prayers to the saints and the Virgin Mary. Neither has any reparation been made to the heirs of the saints who suffered such vile persecutions from the Catholic Church. Protestants were brutally murdered by Catholics by way of burning them alive at the stake, flaying alive, hangings, cutting them to pieces, burying them alive, drowning, torturing them on the rack, whereby bones were broken and bodies ripped apart, beheading them, etc… The property and assets were seized of those heinously murdered by the Catholic Church from about the Twelfth Century through around the 1820s, not that long ago. The Vatican sits atop the blood of the saints. Revelation 18 describes her brutal end for heresies and having committed such abominable crimes.

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins and that you receive not of her plagues” Revelation 18:4.

God is calling His sincere believers to come out of the Catholic abomination, before it’s too late!

Breaking: Three American Christians Released from N Korean Prisons!

BREAKING: THREE AMERICAN CHRISTIANS RELEASED FROM N KOREAN PRISONS!

Early this morning, three American Christians were released from North Korean prisons, Kim Dong-chul, Kim Sang-duk (Tony Kim) and Kim Hak-song; and are returning to the United States with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo!

As President Donald Trump planned to meet North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un, he focused on gaining the release of the three persecuted Christians, Americans languishing in North Korean prisons simply for their Christian faith.

President Trump tweeted this morning:

TRUMPS TWEET

The three American Christians were released to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after his arrival in Pyongyang, North Korea, early this morning. He is also deserving of our gratitude for securing their release.

THANK YOU, GOD, FOR HEARING AND ANSWERING OUR MANY PRAYERS!

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP!

This is a glorious victory for the three imprisoned Christians, who likely would have languished and died in prison had it not been for the God-ordained intervention by President Donald Trump! Their release is the answer to the many prayers of God’s saints going up daily for the three persecuted saints.

President Donald Trump has made every effort to see the American Christians released from the horrid conditions they suffered in North Korean prisons and those efforts paid off. President Trump keeps his promises and he has worked tirelessly for such causes since his inauguration.

God bless President Donald Trump!

The release of the three Christians from North Korea, the worst nation in the world for Christian persecution, is nothing short of a miracle. I posted requests for prayer for them on this and other websites and I have prayed daily for them, along with many other saints. God answers the prayers of His people!

We are so grateful to God for answering our prayers for these three persecuted saints, and God has been faithful to answer many other prayers, as documented below on an earlier report Overcomers By the Word of Our Testimony:

OVERCOMERS BY THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY

Throughout the years, on this and other websites, I have requested prayer for those in bonds. We often hear of prayer requests, and we pray, although less frequently do we hear about the answers to many of our prayers.

The Lord laid it on my heart to share the testimonies of these, whom the Lord has delivered from bonds, in direct answer to the prayers of the saints:

Gilad Shalit – Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Sergeant First Class abducted and taken prisoner by Hamas to Gaza 6/25/06; released by prisoner exchange – by the miracle-working hand of God 10/18/11!

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani – Christian pastor arrested in Iran 10/2009; sentenced to death by hanging for “apostasy” (for his Christian faith) 11/13/10; released by the miracle-working hand of God 9/8/12!

Meriam Ibrahim – Christian mother arrested in Sudan 8/2013; sentenced to 100 lashes and sentenced to death by hanging for “apostasy” (because of her Christian faith) 5/15/14; released 6/24/14; rearrested 6/24/14; released (second and final time) by the miracle-working hand of God 6/26/14!

Pastor Saeed Abedini – American Christian pastor arrested in Iran 7/2012; sentenced to eight years for creating Christian churches and “compromising national security” on 1/27/13; released after three years by the miracle-working hand of God 1/16/16!

Amir Hekmati – American Veteran arrested in Iran 8/2011 for allegedly spying for the CIA; sentenced to death 1/9/12; sentence overturned 3/5/12; later sentenced to 10 years; released by the miracle-working hand of God 1/16/16!

Pastors Michael Ruot and Peter Reith – Christian pastors arrested (Michael on 12/14/14; Peter on 1/11/15) in Sudan for “blasphemy;” released by the miracle-working hand of God 8/5/15!

Pastor Kuwa Shamal – Christian pastor arrested in Sudan for his faith 12/18/15; released 12/21/15; rearrested 5/24/16; released by the miracle-working hand of God 1/2/17!

To God be all the glory for the release of these!

The Word of God says,

“They overcame by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

I published a call to prayer on 12/10/15 for the release of Christian Pastor Saeed Abedini, American Veteran Amir Hekmati, American Bob Levinson and Christian mother Asia Bibi. After 37 days, on 1/16/16, Pastor Saeed Abedini and Amir Hekmati were released! Pastor Abedini had been in prison more than three years, and Amir Hekmati over four years. This demonstrates the power of the collective prayers of the saints! We need to continue praying for Asia Bibi and Bob Levinson!

The Word of God tells us,

“Confess your faults to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” James 5:16.

“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you” John 15:16.

There are still those in bonds who need our continued prayers daily:

asia-bibi-sentenced-to-death
Asia Bibi – Christian mother arrested 6/2009 and sentenced to death by hanging in Pakistan for “apostasy.” *Asia Bibi’s appeal hearing has finally been granted. She needs our immediate fervent prayers now.

pastor-hasaan-abduraheem

Pastor Hassan Abduraheem – Christian pastor arrested 12/18/15 in Sudan for his faith and faces the death penalty. *Update: Released! Thank God, praise God!

pastor-andrew-brunson

Pastor Andrew Brunson – Christian pastor arrested in Turkey 10/2016 for his faith (on trumped-up charges of “membership in an armed terrorist organization”).

We sometimes hear of the names and plights of others who need our prayers. When their names cross our path, we need to pray for them.

Yes, there are many, many others that need prayer, but God will give the names of those we do not hear about to other Christians who will pray for them.

How do we keep up with all of the prayer requests? Personally, I print the names and stories of many people I have prayed for at least once, then I place their prayer requests on my makeshift “altar” before God. I may not call their individual names out every day, but I pray over them collectively every day, laying my hands upon the requests. This is one method of prayer, but the important thing is to pray in the manner God leads you to pray.

Prayer changes things, friends!

When Herod put forth his hand to vex the church, he killed James, the brother of John. He proceeded further to kill Peter also and the Bible tells us,

“Peter, therefore, was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him…And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him and a light shined in the prison and he smote Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly, and his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird yourself and bind on your sandals, and so he did. And he said unto him, Cast your garment about you and follow me. And he went out and followed him and did not know that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and second ward, they came to the iron gate that led unto the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and passed through one street and henceforth the angel departed from him” Acts 12:5,7-10.

If you believe in God, do not limit Him. Nothing is impossible for God (Luke 1:37).

“Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6.

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? 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.

Praise Report – Pastor Hassan Abduraheem Released!

Screen shot: YouTube.com

PRAISE REPORT – PASTOR HASSAN ABDURAHEEM RELEASED!

In November 2015, Pastor Hassan Abduraheem was arrested in Sudan by Islamist Security Services and later received a 12-year-prison sentence for his Christian faith.

I posted a prayer request in December 2016 for Pastor Hassan, and for Pastor Kuwa Shamal who had also been arrested in Sudan. Pastor PKuwa Shamal was later released, although Pastor Hassan remained in prison at that time.

I received an email on Tuesday from Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel for the Center for Law and Justice, stating that Pastor Hassan received a pardon and has been released!

We collectively thank God for answering our prayers for Pastor Hassan!

Please continue praying for Asia Bibi, who sits on death row in Pakistan for her Christian faith; as well as Pastor Andrew Brunson, who remains in prison in Turkey for his faith.

The Word of God tells us,

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

“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.

God is faithful, friends.

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? 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.


ACLJ worked diligently waging a global campaign for Pastor Hassan’s release. Only days after ACLJ sent a letter to the United Nations calling for Pastor Hassan’s release, citing human rights violations, Pastor Hassan was released on Tuesday, June 13, 2017. They continue fighting for other persecuted Christians and for our religious freedom here in the United States. If you would like to help with a donation to ACLJ, please visit ACLJ.org

Pastors Arrested and Held In Sudan and Turkey

PASTORS ARRESTED AND HELD IN SUDAN FOR THEIR CHRISTIAN FAITH

Christian Pastors Hassan Abduraheem and Kuwa Shamal have been arrested by Islamist Security Services in Sudan because of their Christian faith. The two pastors are on trial and face possible death sentences.

Pastors Hassan and Kuwa need our collective prayers and support right now.

Jesus said concerning the last days,

“They shall put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time comes that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service” John 16:2.

“For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then 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 24:7-9.

When a great number of people hate Christians even in America today, and discriminate against them in society and schools, we need to know that we are living in the very last days, friends.

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? 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.
