Saturday/Sunday  3-30/31-24


Verses for today:


For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Romans 6:5 KJV

 

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:16 KJV

 

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed at the proper time.

1 Timothy 2:5-6

 

The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

Matthew 26:24 KJV

 

 

He is RISEN

6 other places where Revival is Happening Now:

Our global God is always on the move, says Jason Mandryk. To take just one example, there is good reason to think there are more than 1 million believers in the Islamic Republic of Iran, he says. And you can be certain that none of them are nominal!

 

If a revival happens in the forest and no Westerners are around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Such a twist on the old philosophical thought experiment seems timely, given all we hear about the incredible move of God in Wilmore, Kentucky.

Does revival need to happen on a well-lit stage, livestreamed on social media, with people flying in from around the world to attend, and have thousands of articles written about it to count as such?

 

In the context of majority world Christianity, moves of God tend to happen in places of poverty, persecution, upheaval, and desperation. They are mostly removed from news cameras (for a range of different reasons), and since they unfold outside the Anglosphere, they tend to be off the map for the vast majority of Christians in the West.


What would revival look like deep in the rainforest where there is little to no electricity, nevermind 5G? Or in a remote valley amid mountains and deserts where the nearest city is three days’ ride? Or in the churning chaos of a slum with little infrastructure and an endless stream of migrants fleeing drought, flooding, or the latest militia group?


Given that the cultural, social, and economic milieus we are talking about are vastly different from our own, one might expect such spiritual breakthroughs to seem almost alien. But the reality is that the symptoms are remarkably consistent. 

 

When the body of Christ in a community – or across communities – rise early in the morning to pray together for hours, stay up late into the night to worship together (and pray some more), meet together in fellowship several times a week or even every day, find the Word of God coming alive through powerful preaching and personal testimony, confess their sins, cut the ties binding them to their old lives, reconcile to one another, love their enemies, welcome and offer assistance any in need, experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, and see unbelievers drawn into their midst to encounter the living Christ – are we talking then about revival?

 

For all who follow Jesus, the longing to experience revival is a good one. And no place where God moves powerfully could possibly be dreary or dull! But there is – or should be – a degree of normalcy to the body of Christ experiencing the conditions above. If the presence of the phenomena of revival mean that it is revival, then it follows that it is less about profundity or anything extraordinary, and more about believers doing all the things that we wish would happen when revival ‘happens’ to us. What we hype up as this elusive, extraordinary state of ‘revival’ should arguably be more par for the course. In his tome on the subject, Barry Chant observes, “Revival is the Church being what it ought to be.”


Perhaps these are truths that we in the global north have lost. As per Luke 6, we are rich, we are well fed, and we laugh often: causes for woe, in Jesus’ own words (perhaps the fact that we are less and less well-spoken of gives us reason for hope!).

 

No, the places where revival seems to be happening with the greatest frequency are the places where believers have no recourse to anything but God breaking in. They are poor, powerless, harried, under pressure. They gather to pray and fast, to worship, to hear God’s word, to confess and forgive, to share all they have and to be healed by God’s power precisely because they have nothing else they can do and nowhere else to turn.


Allow me to share some examples where such profound breakthroughs are happening. They include sustained church growth amidst persecution, spiritual breakthrough and public proclamation, costly forgiveness, the compulsion to go forth, the inclusion of the least of these, and the presence of relentless prayer.

 

1. Iran – Sustained growth despite great risk

It has been widely publicised for well over a decade that the church in Iran is growing faster than in any other country.

Iran’s ruthless regime and harsh brand of Islam imposed since the Islamic Revolution have brought about great disillusionment, especially among the younger generation. The body of Christ has suffered under intense persecution. Yet the unrest we see in Iran today is matched by the spiritual hunger of Iranians. Turmoil spreads, but the Church keeps growing!

The underground nature of the Church makes verification impossible, but it is very reasonable to estimate that there are more than a million believers in Iran. You can be certain that none of them are nominal!

 

2. Thailand – Breakthrough at last?

Thailand has traditionally welcomed missionaries but has also appeared to be resistant to the gospel. Much has been sown into Thailand through prayer and mission but with little fruit. However, in the last few years, the Free in Jesus Christ Association (FJCCA) movement has experienced explosive growth and contextually effective discipleship. Through village-by-village evangelism, thousands of mostly rural house churches have been planted – so many that the relatively new FJCCA has more fellowships than any other denomination or group in Thailand.

 

Mass public baptisms – the last one including 1,435 new believers – are reshaping the perception and impact of Christianity in this strongly Buddhist nation. Dwight Martin, a researcher who is deeply involved with Free in Jesus, doesn’t call what is happening a church planting movement or a missiological breakthrough, but a revival.

 

3. Myanmar – Tragedy, terror, and transformation

A number of ethnic minorities in Myanmar (such as the Karen, Kachin, and Chin) have had a strong Church for generations, in contrast to the 95% Buddhist Burmese majority. They, and other groups like the Rohingya, have long been subject to ethnically targeted violent suppression by the regime.

 

Since the military coup of 2021, the brutality of the regime has escalated. Churches and schools are targeted by artillery and fighter jets. Some Christians are part of resistance forces fighting against the regime, others are not. But all are subject to ruthless attacks. Poverty and hunger are commonplace alongside the atrocities.

 

Despite the terror and destruction, many thousands are experiencing revival. The faith of nominal Christians is being renewed. The Church is growing and spreading – even Burmese Buddhists are becoming Jesus followers! Amidst terrible suffering, Christians are learning how to live not out of hatred and vengeance, but in Christ’s love that empowers them to forgive even their persecutors.

 

4. Algeria – From enclave to outreach

The Kabyle are a Berber ethnic group indigenous to mountainous northeastern Algeria, residing there long before Arabs imposed Islam on the region.

In recent years, the Kabyle have experienced revival that has enlarged the Church among them to tens of thousands of believers – an extremely rare occurrence in North Africa. This outpouring and growth began during the intense Islamist violence of the Algerian Civil War in the 1990s.

 

Prejudicial treatment, surveillance, church closures, hostility, and arrests have not deterred the Kabyle Church. Not only do they keep making disciples and growing in number, but they are reaching other Berber groups, the Arab majority, and increasingly, sending missionaries to other nations to reach peoples ethnically related to them.

 

5. India – The least of these

The injustices of India’s caste system, especially for Dalits and Tribal peoples, are well-documented. The large bulk of those who follow Jesus come from the above groups and lower castes.

India’s sex-selective abortion problem and millions of ‘orphans’ demonstrate the lowly status of children, especially girls, who are often considered surplus to requirements. But the younger generation is forming a dynamic part of the growing ranks of the body of Christ in India.

 

One national leader shared of 170,000 children involved in just one network of kids’ clubs, where they are fed, educated, discipled, and taught to worship Jesus and pray with impressive fervency and authority. This is only one network, operating in only half of India’s states! The same leader shared that spiritual breakthrough and transformation is happening in many parts of India. But the sheer size of India and its population, combined with the security concerns tied to intensifying Hindutva-driven persecution, mean that many of these breakthroughs happen below the radar even of those paying close attention.

 

6. Africa – Persistent prayer, scaled up

The well-known Holy Ghost Service of the Redeemed Christian Church of God takes place outside of Lagos, Nigeria on the first Friday of every month, beginning at 7pm and lasting through the night. Attendance has been known to exceed one million people – the musicians and singers’ alone number in the thousands!

 

Heaven’s Gate Prayer Mountain in Kenya is near to Elementaita (“place of dust”) and is a retreat centre for prayer and fasting. Food is not permitted on the premises. It can accommodate 2,000-3,000 people. It operates year-round, but at peak times, it overflows and people are begged to stop coming. They sleep on the ground and pray in the fields if there is no more room.

 

Mount Ambericho in Ethiopia was home to a line of witch doctors for centuries until one of them turned to follow Christ. Others followed suit. The crowds who gathered every year to worship the witch doctors began to come to worship Christ. As many as 100,000 climb the 9,900-foot mountain for a whole day of prayer.

Closer to home, Black churches in the UK gather for prayer with a fervency and in numbers that should humble the rest of us. Whether Friday night prayer meetings or New Year ‘Crossover Services’ or city-wide/national prayer events, corporate prayer has long been a strength of Black churches. Swiss theologian Walter Hollenweger noted, “Christians in Britain prayed for many years for revival, and when it came, they did not recognize it because it was black.”

 

GOD ON THE MOVE

No doubt some would disqualify each of these from fitting into their rigid criteria for revival. In his upcoming book Prayer Power - Changing the World and You Stuart Robinson writes,” Attempts to agree on a concise definition of what is our meant by expectations of revival, would seem to have as much hope of success as David feeling comfortable in Saul’s armor." Others would assert that insisting on Western definitions and concepts for revivals or any other move of God is yet another example of colonialism in a global Church. 

 

How much do definitions matter? In each of these examples there is a strong sense of - and hunger for - God's presence. The Holy Spirit is clearly at work, bringing new vitality to God's global Church and extending his kingdom into communities hitherto deprived of the good news. But the common threads of prayer and fasting, poverty, persecution, and close community confront our materially comfortable, individualistic Western churches.

We say we long for revival. What price are we willing to pay?

The View’s Joy Behar broke ranks and called out this liberal:

No one ever accused Joy Behar of being anything other than a Democrat shill. But now she’s singing a different tune.

And The View’s Joy Behar broke ranks and called out this liberal.

 

Joy Behar, co-host of The View, lashed out at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday’s episode, fearing the third-party candidate would steal votes from President Biden.

“Someone has to ask him why are you doing this? Why do you want to destroy the election and hand it to Trump if possible?” Behar scolded.

“He’s a Kennedy. His forefathers are rolling over in their graves. His own family is telling him — we already have one clown in the race. Do we need two of them?” she added.

Behar’s remarks come as Democratic strategists and Kennedy family members warn that the candidate might gravely jeopardize Biden’s re-election bid.

 

Co-host Sara Haines pushed back, claiming Kennedy was not attempting to “ruin the election” on purpose, but rather to appeal to voters like herself who believe a third-party candidate should be considered in the future.

“I just don’t think it’s this election,” she explained.

Behar maintained that RFK Jr.’s candidacy would destroy the country if it helped former President Donald Trump win re-election.

“Well, I think many times delusion has destroyed a country and that’s what we’re dealing with here with this. The polls are too close,” she feared.

“[P]eople are starting to focus and realize the danger that Trump poses. I believe that,” Behar continued.


Democratic strategists have warned about the third-party threat to Biden’s re-election, citing polls that show a close race between Trump and Biden.

On Monday, Paul Begala, a former Bill Clinton aide, claimed that Kennedy would hand “the whole election to Donald Trump.”

“Third parties elected Donald Trump in 2016, about six to seven percent of Americans voted third-party. That third-party vote dropped to less than two, which is how Biden won. So, anything over two, Democrats are in trouble. Kennedy alone is getting 15 in some of these places. So yeah, my view is third parties, they’re like cockroaches in the kitchen, OK?” he said on CNN.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sister, Rory Kennedy, expressed concern on Monday that his candidacy could jeopardize President Biden’s re-election chances.

“It’s really about siphoning votes from Biden,” Rory went on to say.

“The polls I’m seeing, Bobby takes 70% of the votes from Biden and 30% from Trump. I feel strongly that this is the most important election of our lifetime. There’s so much at stake and I do think it’s going to come down to a handful of votes in a handful of states.”

“I do worry that Bobby just taking some percentage of votes from Biden could shift the election and lead to Trump’s election,” she went on to say.

Last October, members of the Kennedy family officially condemned RFK Jr.’s campaign, calling it “perilous for our country.”

The Andrew Lawton Show | Trudeau’s Team doing Damage Control on Online Censorship Bill:

As the Liberal government faces criticism over its so-called online harms bill, an adviser to Justin Trudeau has written an op-ed defending the bill and calling concerns about its effect on free speech “rage farming.” True North’s Andrew Lawton sets the record straight, then speaks with Canadian Constitution Foundation litigation director Christine Van Geyn about why people should be worried about the bill.

 

Also, April 1 is proving to be a pivotal day for Canadian taxpayers – the carbon tax increase, a pay raise for members of Parliament, and even a hike to the alcohol tax. Perhaps this is why so many Canadians are poised to protest across the country on Monday. Franco Terrazzano, federal director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, joins to navigate through it all.

A Canadian broadcaster and columnist, Andrew serves as a journalism fellow at TRUE North and host of The Andrew Lawton Show.

Donald Trump said one word that had Letitia James seething in rage:

Societal norms have gone out the window as Democrats have increased their focus on taking down Donald Trump.

It’s all going belly-up.

 

But Donald Trump said one word that had Letitia James seething in rage.

Democrats are on a mission to render Donald Trump broke and in prison.

They have hit him with dozens of indictments in multiple jurisdictions, but perhaps the most outrageous bit of lawfare against Trump involved a civil suit.

 

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who ran on a campaign to “get Trump,” sued Trump for fraud, claiming that he overvalued his assets on bank loan applications.

However, Trump paid back the loans with interest, and the banks said they would be glad to do business with Trump again.

Nevertheless, James went ahead with her ridiculous lawsuit, and Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in summary judgment against Trump.

 

Outlandish fine

After the trial, Trump was forced to pay an outrageous fine of $464 million, and he had to pay the fine before even having the right to appeal the decision.

James then threatened to seize Trump’s properties if he could not come up with half a billion in cash within a month, which is absurd because almost nobody has that level of liquidity.

 

But an appeals court just lowered Trump’s fine to $175 million and gave him ten days to come up with the money.

After the ruling, Trump said, “I greatly respect the decision of the appellate division and I’ll post the $175 million in cash or bonds or security or whatever is necessary very quickly within the ten days, and I thank the appellate division for acting quickly.”

The reduced bond will allow Trump to appeal the unprecedented fine, which is likely to be reversed.




 

Bad precedent

Even though Trump won a small victory, the larger implications are still chilling.

Attorney General James and Judge Engoron have established a precedent that it is okay to go after political opponents by hitting them with unpayable fines.

They essentially used a similar tactic from Trump’s book The Art of the Deal, known as “the big ask.”

Make an over-the-top opening demand, then negotiate down to an agreement that is still satisfactory.

Reducing Trump’s fine from $464 million to “only” $175 million, makes the latter figure seem reasonable, when in reality it’s still unconscionable.

 

Trump’s Attorney Alina Habba wrote in a statement that the appellate division reined in “Judge Engoron’s verdict, which is an affront to all Americans.”

These Soviet tactics that the Democrats are employing cannot be allowed to succeed.

RUMOURS Circulating out there...:

You need to MAKE-UP Your own MIND!


SUMMARY:

The Countdown Has StartedThe Clock is TickingPlease Pray for America.Remember,God Always Wins.

Prepare yourselves for the unprecedented revelation that will soon shake the foundations of the world. Unbeknownst to many, a Storm is brewing on the horizon, poised to engulf nations in awe and astonishment. The world as we know it will be forever changed by the impending revelation. Have faith, for the unexpected is on the brink of unveiling itself to the World.…Illegal Leaks on Telegram Sat. 30 March 2024

It’s only wise to have at least a three-week supply of food, water, cash, fuel, medicine and essential items on hand for yourself and to help others in case of a disaster.

 

  • ·        In the wake of the catastrophic collapse of the Baltimore Bridge, initial reports seemed to paint a picture of a tragic accident. However, as the dust settles and the truth begins to emerge, a chilling revelation comes to light: this was not mere happenstance, but a calculated Cyber Attack aimed at crippling our nation’s infrastructure.

  • ·        The government’s major job currently is not to panic the people with the truth. That’s why you will never get the truth from our Gov or the MSM.

  • ·        The “Leave the World Behind” movie started with a ship crash. Then came the power outage, the collapse and then the roaming gangs, while billionaires hide in their bunkers.

  • ·         

  • Fri. 29 March: RV INTELLIGENCE ALERT – CONFRONTATION! – American Media Group (amg-news.com)

  • ·        The Earth Alliance, representing the collective will of humanity, stands poised for a final showdown against the entrenched powers of the Deep State Cabal. As the world teeters on the brink of financial collapse, a glimmer of hope emerges in the form of the RV Intelligence Alert. But will it be enough to tip the scales in favor of a new era of prosperity, or will the forces of corruption succeed in maintaining their grip on power? 

  • ·        In the tumultuous landscape of global geopolitics, the winds of change are blowing with hurricane force. The stage is set for the ultimate showdown between the Earth Alliance and the entrenched powers of the Deep State Cabal. As the battle for control of the world’s financial system reaches a fever pitch, the stakes could not be higher.

  • ·        The RV Intelligence Alert brings to light the escalating conflict between those who seek to liberate humanity from the shackles of financial tyranny and those who would cling to power at any cost. Deep State desertions and surrenders to the Earth Alliance are on the rise, signaling cracks in the armor of the Cabal’s stronghold. Yet, amidst these defections, a stubborn few remain, determined to cling to their ill-gotten gains until the bitter end.

  • ·        Sources reveal a sinister plot unfolding within the corridors of power, as the US Treasury finds itself infiltrated by agents of the Deep State Cabal. Delay tactics are being deployed to stall the long-awaited private currency exchange event, a crucial step in the transition to a new financial paradigm. But the Earth Alliance is not content to sit idly by while the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

  • ·        With Deutsche Bank poised to trigger the collapse of the fiat financial system, the Earth Alliance faces a race against time to purge the US Treasury of Cabal infiltrators. Failure to meet the looming deadline could force the Alliance’s hand, leading to the unthinkable prospect of military intervention. The final phase of the transition to a new Quantum Financial System would be hastened, thrusting the world into uncharted territory.

  • ·        The stakes have never been higher as humanity stands on the brink of a new dawn or descent into darkness. The RV Intelligence Alert serves as a beacon of hope in these troubled times, shedding light on the covert machinations of those who would seek to enslave us all.

  • ·        Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, one currency emerges as a symbol of hope for a brighter future: Pi. With a value set at an astonishing $314,159, Pi represents a seismic shift in the world of finance. But its true potential lies not just in its astronomical value, but in its revolutionary technology.

  • ·        With a cross-border transaction speed of 1.7 million per second, Pi outstrips its competitors by orders of magnitude. Its legal status ensures unparalleled security and stability, setting it apart from the countless pretenders vying for dominance in the digital currency space.

  • ·        But Pi is more than just a currency; it is a beacon of hope for a world ravaged by corruption and greed. Through the distribution of Universal Basic Income and social security benefits funded by the proceeds of human trafficking and corruption, Pi promises to return the wealth of humanity to its rightful owners.
