Are you willing to STAND UP AND CLAIM JESUS AS YOUR LORD (The chosen lamb of God) or will you deny Him to gain temporary life.
by Jane Fairchild on Monday, April 18, 2011 at 2:31pm
Do you truly LOVE GOD so much that you would be willing to DIE for him.
If you were arrested over nothing, for you had done nothing that broke the law, but you were suddenly were arrested for only being a Christian Believer and carrying a Bible... And you were told during the interrogation of this arrest that you were to deny JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, and embrace and give your life over to Allah, and if you did not do this - to spare your temporary life on this earth - you knew you would be facing imprisionment, possibly in starving to death, and that you may be gang raped, and you may be tortured and experienemented with your body as you are fully alive, and eventually you would die from this torture....
But if you denied JESUS CHRIST and bowed down to Allah and signed over to believe in ISLAM and become a MUSLIM so you could live a temporary life on this earth....
What would you do as an AMERICAN?
Would you give in... and deny JESUS AS YOUR LORD so you would not be tortured, and gang raped or would you do the easy way out and DENY JESUS and become a muslim simply to live a temporary life on this earth....
Yet - this is done daily to those whom are our true Christian Brothers and Sisters in nations as IRAN, Pakistan, Vietnam, Northern India, Saudia Arabia, China, Egypt, Libya and many many other nations....
Who are we in America to think that we are immuned from experiencing this same suffering.... Why are we so SPECIAL to God?
Tell me the lies that you believe simply because you live in America?
There is coming a day in America where God is going to allow a great sorting between the true WHEAT and the TARES that have grown up with the wheat....
This day that will be coming upon us in America will be a day of great suffering and we too will experience 'SUFFERING with the SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST JESUS' as our brothers and sisters have suffered in other nations within the Persecuted Church as within China, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Veitnam, and many many other nations where Christian believers are abducted, tortured, gang raped, and killed all because they are Christian Believers.
This is coming to AMERICA too and it will be SOONER than you think....
Those whom STAND to the end in not denying JESUS as their LORD will be those whom make it to the end... but those whom give in for the sake of saving their life for this temporary life on earth - will be torn away from the true BELIEVERS... as you cannot play games at that time - you cannot straddle the fence during this time...
Written in The Torah/Bible is God's written word:
(Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV) 1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me. 2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
Being a martyr is not killing/murdering other people... A person that does these things as what is done in ISLAM is not a martyr at all but is a MURDERER... This is SIN and this is wrong...
But a true martyr is innocent as a lamb. Whom stands still in knowing GOD in love, joy, suffering, and goodness... but whom does not compromise their stand in GOD and they will not BOW to a man... and then be raped, tortured, and killed/murdered for STANDING (even if alone)...
Our god-given son, is a legal immigrate from Egypt. He is a COPTIC CHRISTIAN BELIEVER as is his entire family whom remain living in Egypt today. The COPTIC CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS have been persecuted since the invasion of Muhommad whom was the creator of ISLAM/MUSLIM ideology. The COPTIC CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS were some of the first believers in Christ from the very beginning when Christ was still alive... COPTIC is the original egyptian language during that time of Christ and simply just means EGYPT (COPTIC = EGYPT) but when Muhommmad of the ISLAM IDEOLOGY invaded Egypt during the 600's AD - he made speaking the COPTIC (EGYPT) language illegal and if anyone spoke this language they were killed and he (Muhommad) made all the people speak the MUSLIM LANGUAGE which is arabic. Today the COPTIC LANGUAGE is being lost through the generations so their are EGYPTIAN PRIESTS whom have put this language back together so they will not lose this language through these generations.It is a GREAT JOY to suffer for the name of JESUS CHRIST as Lord....
There is no greater JOY in life but to be counted worthy to share in the SUFFERINGS of JESUS CHRIST...
There are those in ISLAM today whom claim they are martrys for Allah (God) as they blow themselves up along with innocent people... But this is not being a martryr but this is being a KILLER/MURDERER and murder is SIN...
Meaning of being a MARTYR:
In its original meaning, the word martyr, meaning witness, was used in the secular sphere as well as in the New Testament of the Bible.[1] The process of bearing witness was not intended to lead to the death of the witness, although it is known from ancient writers (e.g. Josephus) and from the New Testament that witnesses often died for their testimonies.
During the early Christian centuries, the term acquired the extended meaning of a believer who is called to witness for their religious belief, and on account of this witness, endures suffering and/or death. The term, in this later sense, entered the English language as a loanword. The death of a martyr or the value attributed to it is called martyrdom.
The early Christians who first began to use the term 'martyr' in its new sense saw Jesus as the first and greatest martyr, on account of his crucifixion.[2][3][4] The early Christians appear to have seen Jesus as the archetypical martyr.[5]
The word "martyr" is used in English to describe a wide variety of people. However, the following table presents a general outline of common features present in stereotypical martyrdoms.
Common features of stereotypical martyrdoms[6] 1. A hero A person of some renown who is devoted to a cause believed to be admirable. 2. Opposition People who oppose that cause. 3. Foreseeable risk The hero foresees action by opponents to harm him or her, because of his or her commitment to the cause. 4. Courage and Commitment The hero continues, despite knowing the risk, out of commitment to the cause. 5. Death The opponents kill the hero because of his or her commitment to the cause. 6. Audience response The hero’s death is commemorated. People may label the hero explicitly as a martyr. Other people may in turn be inspired to pursue the same cause.
Revelation 12:11: “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”
In America, especially in our churches, we have become like that of the world. There is as much of divorce and sin as outside the church... you cannot tell the difference often within the church's today within America. We have become DEFILED before God...
During the days of Julius Ceaser during the Roman Empire they (Roman Empire) had a one time a year celebration of Julius Ceaser during that time for about 10 minutes length of time it was required that ALL the people under his rule were to BOW DOWN and WORSHIP JULIUS CEASAR....
Today there are many that still live under this EVIL as those whom live in nations that are ISLAM IDEOLOGY (MUSLIM) and whom are under the ISLAM SHARI'A LAW... If you are a christian convert - you will be forced to sign and pledge over to Allah as God or else face torture, gang rape, prison, and death. Many christian believers will faulter and sign over as to spare their life on this earth (as it was even under Julius Ceasar) but for such christians they have become lukewarm and value their temporary life here on earth more than the life to come eternally from death.If you MURDER or KILL someone and through killing others you too die for this cause - you are NOT A MARTYR at all but you have SINNED and you are a murderer/killer... Killing people has nothing to do about being a martryr for God.
But facing a crowd alone, and being accused falsely, and being told to DENY JESUS AS LORD, and sign over and make ALLAH GOD in your life - if this person is killed for being innocent and harming no one except standing in their faith of JESUS AS THEIR LORD - If this person is killed - then this is a true martryr for God....
ALLAH is another form of Satan/Lucifier/Devil - except he has hidden behind the name of Allah.
God's word says in the Ten Commandments:
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
Hebrews 11
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. 13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. 30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 31By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 32And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. 34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
How many of you whom are reading this TODAY on FACEBOOK - How many of you are willing to be tortured, raped, murdered, and persecuted all for not bowing down to any other GOD and standing that JESUS IS LORD....?
How many of you whom are reading this TODAY on FACEBOOK - How many of you are willing to be tortured, raped, murdered, and persecuted all for not bowing down to any other GOD and standing that JESUS IS LORD....?
Of couse, none of us would want to be raped, or tortured, or murdered/killed, or persecuted - but this is what happens in realality today with our brothers and sisters in Christ in China, in Pakistan, Vietnam, Egypt, IRAN, Saudia Arabia, and many other nations throughout the world....
What makes you think that because you live in America that we will be ammuned from suffering for Christ as our brothers and sisters?
What makes us think we are better?
AMERICA has DEFILED the name of God within our own American churches.
There is as much SIN within the church today as in the world...
Pastors, whom should be the Shepherds overlooking the sheep that God has placed under them - these Pastors should be protecting these SHEEP - but many times today in America - their are so called 'christian' churches whom are trying to allow unity amongst MUSLIMS, or Jehovan Witness, or Mormons all in the name of God - but this is allowing WOLVES to come in the midst of the SHEEP.
If one of these sheep is devoured by these CULTS (that are not Christian as God's Word written) but are of another gospel that has been rewritten by a man that has an evil heart... If one of these SHEEP is brought into these CULT groups - when these CULT groups are WOLVES - then their BLOOD will be on the hands of these PASTORS whom have allowed wolves to come amongst the sheep...
There truly is no greater JOY to experience but to be counted as worthy to share in the sufferings of CHRIST...Yes, it will be hard... but this is "WHY" we must equip ourselves with GOD'S TRUTH AND WORD TODAY - while we still have time - because there is coming a day, including in America - where we will be called to SUFFER FOR HIM... and to truly know HIM through this suffering.
In the days of Noah, when Noah warned the people of this world of God's judgement was coming for 125 years as he built the ark in obedience to God for 125 years - on that day of GOD's JUDGEMENT only 8 people were saved from GOD'S JUDGEMENT - Think about this - out of all those people only 8 made it through to safety from God's JUDGEMENT...Saying you are a Christian Believer is not a GAME to be played.
If you say you are a CHRISTIAN BELIEVER but yet you go out and get drunk, or you are in a homosexual lifestyle, or you have sex outside of marriage - then you have not read GOD's WORD on sin - for this is SIN and SIN separates us from GOD...
People that say they are Christian Believers but yet practice SIN - the truth of GOD is not within them and these are the people whom are hypocrites and whom walk the fence..
Does this mean that Christian Believers are PERFECT - absolutely 100% NO, NO, NO... but we do not take the GRACE of GOD for granted and we FEAR GOD - for our GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE...
One of the greatest SINS that any of us can do and MOST of us have been guilty of is like that of the SINS OF ISRAEL... during the time of MOSES - as written in God's Word in Exodus - it is complaining/murmuring of what God has provided. It was because of this great SIN OF MURMURING that led ISRAEL into 40 years into the desert as God became angry with them for murmuring against Him as their provder...
They took for granted God's provisions, mercy and love, as they (ISRAEL) had murmured against Moses and God...
But how many of us are guilty of COMPLAINING/MURMURING against God's provisions within our own life - rather than having a heart of thankfulness and praise to God as our PROVIDER...
But as I close.... We need to prepare our hearts in America churches for the time that is coming upon us in the future, the time as God allows SATAN to SIFT HIS CHURCH, the time that GOD allows the TRUE WHEAT to be separated from the TARES that are growing amongst us...
A time of great SUFFERING for the name of JESUS and a time of having GREAT JOY through this time of great SUFFERING?
No longer will there be a choice of what church building you will gather together with for fellowship but the only 'church' will not be in 8any building but will be Christian believers having 'church' in their homes or underground.... CHURCH is not a building... CHURCH is JESUS. Fellowship is not only found within church setting but true fellowship is not meeting together behind each other heads for another sermon but fellowship is breaking bread together and communion together (this is true fellowship) of truly getting to know each other. Getting to know our strengths, getting to know our weakness, and yet still accepting and loving each other.
Today in America, with the more shallow churches - you will find that most are not EQUIPPED...
If you do not think this will happen in America - than GOD owes our brothers and sisters whom live in other nations that have actually been persecuted for HIS NAME - He owes them an apology for they are BETTER than us for having the privledge of suffering in the SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST and truly knowing Him....
I want this experience in my own life because SUFFERING is not evil or bad but SUFFERING for the name of CHRIST is of great JOY and DELIVERANCE and experiencing, truly experiencing JESUS CHRIST... I want this too...
I am tired of COMFORTABLE FAKE LIFE in our Christian churches within America... which is sweeping our heart dirt underneath the carpet so no one can see the REAL and HONEST but can only see the FAKE, or putting up white picket fences pretending all is well in life.... This is AMERICAN CHEAP 'Christianity' that is done within most churches within America...
I no longer want to live my life in comfort to serve Christ - but to GAIN CHRIST...
PRAY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH...
Share in their sufferings with them...
Be a part of them joined together in your heart and your prayers...
