Although we need to remain alert--and on our knees in prayer--we should not lose heart. Rather, we must remember that what is happening was foretold by our Lord. Jesus promised these kinds of things would happen to His followers, but that they would not prevail against His church.
Thank you for praying for these who are facing death because of their faith.
The painful news that we hear of the intense persecution of Christians in India is indeed a thing of great concern but more of something for intercession. There is definitely a reason for what is happening.
I have always had the conviction that God is faithful to His two edged S(word). In Joel 2:28-30 He said,
'... I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. ...And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth...And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved'.
Majority of this flesh is in China and India. This tells me that these two great countries are in the major plan of God. Sometimes ago The Lord spoke to me that even as the economies of China and India grows in strength so shall His work also grow there.
The horrible persecution against the Church in India is only an announcement and wake up call to God’s people of the greater things ahead. God will surely sending His rain upon India -His unprecedented revival but it will not be without persecution.
I have personally seen and experienced some of these things. Recently I have received mails from various people known and unknown about the things happening in various places. One SMS (text message) asked me to pray for those who have run into the jungles to hide in the fear of being killed among them is a pregnant woman. Here are some of them below.
Whether you live in India or not I earnestly and urgently call for your fervent and constant prayer participation at this time of ‘labor pain’. Through your prayers you can reach those in desperate need (Acts 12:1-17).
This demonic carnage of bloodthirsty militants is raging and you and I need to pray right now!!!
gods people are always going to be persecuted in one form or another. this has happened all through out the word of god. however i agree with you abigya 100%. also through the persecution of our brothers and sisters for doing nothing wrong is opening the eyes of millions in these nations to see jesus christ and his glory. i still believe that we should pray.
