 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Recently there has been mass slaughter of Christians worldwide, including:

70 Christians beheaded in Congo

Sudanese military that bombs congregations when gathered in churches.

7000 Christians and Alewives slaughtered in Syria.

Iran regime imprisons, tortures and kills Christians constantly.

50,000 Christians driven out of Iraq.

50,000 killed since 2009 and 276 school girls kidnapped in Nigeria (refer to #bringbackourgirls campaign).

Violence continued unabated in Nigeria, which is why it continues to be ranked in the top ten of the World Watch List. In multiple instances, hundreds of Christians were killed or displaced because of attacks from militants.

Other countries where Christian persecutions and periodic imprisonment is enforced are Myanmar, China, Eritrea, India, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.

However despite the persecution of the Church, Christianity endures under persecution, this is most evident in communist Russia and China. Protestant Christians in China grew from 87 million in 2010 to 110 million in 2020 and the orthodox Russian church has surpassed 100 million members..

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’

300-400 million Christians are persecuted worldwide

1 in 7 world wide

1 in 5 in Africa

2 in 5 in Asia

Eternal Life.

Then I saw thrones, and people sat upon them—those to whom authority to judge was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Yeshua and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image, nor had they received his mark on their forehead or on their hand. And they came to life and reigned with the Messiah for a thousand years.

The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.  How fortunate and holy is the one who has a share in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no authority, but they shall be kohanim of God and the Messiah, and they shall reign with Him for a thousand years. (Revelation)

Melbourne Events

a witness

A witness is often a random person that saw an event of some consequence. They are drawn into a drama, that unfolds before them. This unexpected moment happened to me.

On a late summer evening , I was sitting on a back verandah with my husband, looking up into the dark sky. I was deeply troubled by a personal matter and was looking up into the night, with a hopeless hope. I saw a large shooting star and in my mind I asked it for help. I prayed and drew upon the love of those around me.

Instantly I was no longer in my earthly body and was a person standing amongst the stars. I was in an eternal body. There was a wind blowing and I was aware I was floating on air, however it felt solid. Although it was dark, light resonated around me. It was a super reality and my earth life was like a small shadow.

Above the Earth was a large dome that reflected light, and above in the Heavens there was a busy atmosphere. I saw a stairway coming up from the Earth where ‘messengers’ were taking messages to GOD. They looked very tired, as though the news wasn’t good.

I could see the Earth beneath me and was able to focus on areas that would enlarge, so I could witness events below. I saw a group of people wasting their time with the occult; they were able to do some tricks but were unaware that Heaven was off limits to them.

In the stars there was a HOLY presence over the whole realm. The knowledge of GOD and His understanding was shared and flowed through everything and everyone. I understood the reality of God, and that the issues of the Earth will fade. It’s a realm of peace and happiness.

When I returned to my Earth body, my husband asked me where I had been, and I told him. I saw the dawn and the light from Heaven stayed with me a few more hours. I felt a deep peace that enabled me to get through the trouble ahead.

This happened unexpectedly and I was sober. I was there, I saw it, we are not alone, we are not forsaken. The Bible is true.
