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!

SHALL THEY BE MAN AND WOMAN?

 

SHALL THEY BE MAN AND WOMAN?

The debate over sexual identity politics in Albania is taking an ugly turn for church leaders who are dedicated to standing on biblical truth. 

Recent news in Europe is reporting on the ‘shameful’ anti-LGBT law that Hungary has passed. 

Earlier this year, the European Union was declared to be a “freedom zone” for LGBTIQ people.

The members of the European Parliament announced, “LGBTIQ persons everywhere in the EU should enjoy the freedom to live and publicly show their sexual orientation and gender identity without fear of intolerance, discrimination or persecution, and authorities at all levels of governance across the EU should protect and promote equality and the fundamental rights of all, including LGBTIQ persons.”

Countries in the EU that do not conform face incredible pressure to revise their national policies, like what Albania is currently facing. 

The Turning Tides of Culture

One of World Challenge’s partners in Albania is Pastor Akil Pano, a known public figure who has defended biblical values in debates on various secular TV shows. 

He has now come under fire for his stance on homosexual and transgender issues.

This move away from traditional values and social views that would have been considered par for the course is deeply disturbing to many Albanians.

After World War II, Albania’s Communist government cracked down harshly on all forms of worship; but despite its rigorous attempts at repression until as recently as 1990, the majority of Albanians adhere to some form of faith. 

Balkan Transitional Justice reports that over half of the country considers themselves Muslim and another 16 percent are either Catholic or Orthodox Christian while “…only 2.5 per cent declared that they were atheists.”

Given its conservative religious roots both in Islam and Orthodox Christianity, it’s perhaps no surprise that Albanian politics has not historically promoted the LGBTIQ agenda. Pressure is growing for them to do so, however, in the last few years.

Most recently, our partners reported, “During pride month, the debates on LGBT issues have escalated and have reached great focus in Albania. The LGBT community wants to replace the titles ‘father’ and ‘mother’ from the birth certificate and other documentation and replace them with ‘parent 1’ and ‘parent 2.’”

Obviously, this motion has been contested by faith leaders like Akil in Albania, and now they are being attacked for their beliefs.

Church Leaders Under Fire

Pastor Akil was very much involved in this debate, standing for the biblical definition for marriage and a healthy family.

The LGBT community took snippets of Akil’s discussion out of the context of the debate he was taking part in and positioned them as hate speech. Shortly after, Akil received an email from the State Commissioner of Civil Rights, informing him that the LGBT community had filed a lawsuit against him. He was summoned by the commissioner to give an explanation for the accusations that were being leveled against him. 

Our partners shared, “This issue can become very big as even foreign embassies are supporting their cause. We need your support and prayers for God’s wisdom, protection and guidance on how to handle this issue. 

“We appreciate your friendship, support and prayers, and we are sure as we live in this time of great darkness, the light of Christ will shine brighter through us all.”

Please join us in praying for Pastor Akil, his family and the many believers in Albania who are struggling with this issue.
