ACTIVE Threats Against Christians
Weekly Report
Internationally, we see the government and authorities persecuting Christians with physical and psychological harm, while radical terrorists and gangs run amuck. Many Christians have been killed, threatened, kidnapped, or imprisoned. Nationally, we see encouraging strides forward as the Faith Community releases the first comprehensive resource on Religion's impact on America. One state pays 175K to Churches for discriminating against Believers and a Man is swallowed by a whale in a modern day Jonah-like story. Let’s be on the lookout for the signs, wonders and miracles of our God.

“No one is like you, Lord; you are great, and your name is mighty in power. Who should not fear you, King of the nations? This is your due. Among all the wise leaders of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.” Jeremiah 10:6-7
Let’s PRAY: Lord, your word has shown us repentance involves turning from sin and turning to YOU alone! You have taught us that when we walk in the paths of Your Truth and righteousness we will have peace that passes all understanding. Help us Lord, to have a repentant heart despite the evil which seeks to destroy us on every side. God grant us Your strength to turn from any rebellion against You as Your children so that others may come to know You as their Guiding Light and Living Savior. AMEN!
