Count It All Joy!
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, (James 1:2)
Today's news articles deal with religious persecution in China.
The first article is a well-written "feel-good" article about a Chinese Christian's "all things work together for good" type story. Please don't overlook the suffering she had during her ordeal though. She was a faithful servant of the Lord no matter what she was going through and we see the positive results after the fact for which we praise the Lord for. If I read the details correctly, she was only in jail for 15 days, but keep in mind, her husband had already been in jail for many months and is likely still in jail. Prison/jail time in China usually contains regular torture. We personally know one pastor who suffered in prison for three years in China and like the sister in today's article, much gospel witnessing happened in prison with many accepting Christ, but he suffered much and still has lingering health issues as a result.

Recently I was in prayer, and I could feel the presence of God beginning to manifest heavily. As His presence filled the room, I was taken up in the spirit. Whenever this happens, I am always filled with peace, but it takes me a few minutes to understand what exactly is happening.
Vision of the Golden Bowl -- In this vision, I was in a large gymnasium-sized room. It was dimly lit, but in the center there was a brighter golden glow. From a distance, I could see the side view of a man in a chair holding a baby. Then I became aware of an angel on my right side. The angel walked me closer to the man. Continue

Prepare for the SECRET of the Lord - Karen Hardin
We are heading into a chaotic season both spiritually and in the natural. We will share more specifics next month. But now is the time to prepare. How?
First, by planting our feet firmly on the Rock with the Word so that fear cannot rule us.
The globalist agenda is frantically advancing trying to beat a time clock. As a result, evil and insanity have been unleashed in ways we would have never thought possible. Who would have believed we would see:

Analysis. The green agenda is often touted as “the only way to save our planet.” Leaders around the world collectively chant the same old mantras: “Stop using fossil fuels”; “Reduce your carbon footprint”; “Eat less meat.” All the while, their disingenuous pleas echo a dark bygone era when the Nazis ruled — with iron claws and a green fist.
Adolf Hitler’s name is notoriously synonymous with destruction, hate, and cruelty. What many do not know, however, is that this murderous madman also promoted a green agenda of his own. In fact, the Nazis advocated green policies some 50 years before any other political party. Their plan included large-scale renewable energy from windmills, as well as the use of synthetic fuels and hydro-power turbines in place of coal, oil, and gas. As Rupert Darwall, author of Green Tyranny, says: “If you look at what the Nazis were doing in the 1930s, in their environmental policies, virtually every theme you see in the modern environmental movement, the Nazis were doing.” Continue
