Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

CHINESE PASTOR OF DEMOLISHED CHURCH REFUSES TO BOW TO AUTHORITIES

Chinese Pastor of Demolished Church Refuses to Bow to Authorities: 'Of Course We're Scared, But We Have Jesus'

By LEAH MARIEANN KLETT ( news@gospelherald.com ) Oct 05, 2018 08:53 AM EDT

A pastor whose church was demolished by Chinese authorities — who then sent him a bill for related costs — has expressed his unwavering faith in God despite such persecution.

The Guardian reports that in September, authorities demolished Zion Church in Beijing, one of the biggest unofficial congregations in the country. Pastor Jin Mingri, who had preached there every Sunday for decades, was then sent a bill for 1.2m yuan (£133,000) for the related costs.

Jin told the outlet that the demolition of the church was part of Chinese president Xi Jinping's larger crackdown on religion in the country.

"Before, as long as you didn't meddle in politics the government left you alone," he said. "But now if you don't push the Communist party line, if you don't display your love for the party, you are a target."

He added, "Of course we're scared, we're in China, but we have Jesus."

According to reports, the 1,500-member congregation was shut down after it refused to install surveillance cameras in its sanctuary or register as an official Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) church.

"The church decided this was not appropriate," Jin previously told Reuters. "... Our services are a sacred time."

Following the church's refusal, state security officials and police started to harass churchgoers, even contacting their workplaces and asking them to promise not to go to church.

"On Sunday, the Beijing Chaoyang district civil affairs bureau said that by organizing events without registering, the church was breaking rules forbidding mass gatherings and were now 'legally banned' and its 'illegal promotional material' had been confiscated," reported the news agency.

Persecution watchdog China Aid reports that Zion "has decided it will not be swayed by the ban and instead hold services outdoors."

"Churches will continue to develop. Blocking the sites will only intensify conflicts," said Jin.

Bob Fu, president of advocacy group China Aid, previously said authorities are enforcing rules requiring registration as a TSPM church in order to exercise increased control over ideologies. He said the international community should be "outraged and alarmed" by the ongoing persecution of Christians.

"The massive clampdown against thousands of churches in Henan [Province] and the forced closure and total shutdown of the largest house church in Beijing, Zion Church, represents a significant escalation on President Xi [Jinping]'s crack-down down against religious freedom in China," Fu said in a statement.

"Now that the Chinese Communist Party has started to burn Bibles and coerce millions of believers in the Christian faith and other religious minorities to even sign a written pledge to renounce their basic religious beliefs, the international community should be alarmed and outraged at this blatant violation of freedom of religion and belief and demand the Chinese regime stop and remedy this dangerous course."
