MUSLIMS KILLING AND PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS
"Villagers in several areas of the northeast Upper Nile region say that when women are captured by government forces they are asked: "Are you Christian or muslim?" Women who answer "muslim" are set free, but typically soldiers gang-rape those who answer "Christian" then cut off their breasts and leave them to die as an example for others.
Backed by muslim clerics, the National Islamic Front regime in the Arab and muslim north declared a jihad, or holy war, on the south in 1989. Since 1983, an estimated 2 million people have died from war and related famine. About 4.5 million have become refugees. Sudan's military continues to decorate and promote known war criminals such as Commander Taib Musba, who in the mid-1980s killed an estimated 15,000 unarmed, civilian, ethnic Uduk Christians. In 1986, Musba entered the Uduk tribal capital of Chali and declared to its Christians: "You are all going to convert from Christianity to islam today, because here is what's going to happen to you if you don't." Musba then killed five church leaders in front of the gathered villagers. When they refused to convert, he began killing unarmed men, women and children. Some were herded at gunpoint into a hut then run over by a 50-ton, Soviet-made tank. He also herded groups of about a dozen people into a hut, where he asked the first person "Do you renounce Jesus Christ?" Anyone who refused was killed by a three-inch nail driven into the top of the head.
Forced starvation is one of the primary tools of the Khartoum regime. When government forces attack a Christian village, they kill everyone they catch, but those who flee lose everything necessary for survival. The government comes in and burns the crops, burns grain stored, if there was any excess, burns houses down. Now you have only the clothes on your back, no tools, no cooking pots, no buckets for water, and you have to run two days through the bush in 115-degree temperatures in order to escape. In the arid wilderness, escapees try to survive on tree leaves and stagnant, dysentery-infested water. If a woman is breastfeeding, her milk dries up, and the baby starts dying. Small children, just weaned, also start dying. But all the family has to do is change their name to Muhammad or Ramadan, convert to Islam and walk the two days back to the government of Sudan who will care for them." World Net Daily
A brother that I have known for about 18 years has just returned from Jerusalem where he personally met some brothers from Sudan who were forced to watch their wives raped and then cut to death by the muslims. They escaped and walked 700 miles to freedom. They walked across the Sinai dessert without food or water. When they got to Egypt they met some Christians who smuggled them into Israel. There are more than 300 Sudanese who have arrived in Israel and they only have the clothes on their backs. PLUS MIGHTY FAITH IN GOD!! Pray for them that they will not now deny the LORD JESUS now that they are in a westernized county!
Did you know that the westernized countries are the hardest countries in the world to be a real Christian? Beware beloved!! Leonard Ravenhill said that he thought that only 2 % of the professing Christians in the USA were real Christians. Altogether Christians!!!
Today I personally saw these words and the photo. “Here is a photo of the pope kissing the koran, the unholy book of islam. Don't think this stunt didn't mean anything. Rome has been killing God's people for centuries.”
If you are satisfied with what or where you are in Christ today you will probably never endure unto the end!
Our Pastor said yesterday that he was recently talking with a brother that has done a lot of work with Christians in muslim countries and when persecution starts in earnest the brother has found that on the average two-thirds of the professing Christians deny the Lord Jesus Christ to avoid persecution.
What will you do? Are you ready? Are you pressing into the Lord Jesus to be sure that you are constantly growing and that by HIS grace you will endure to the end?
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him {the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan} by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Will you be part of the 2/3 that will deny JESUS CHRIST THE ETERNAL SON OF GOD?
OR will you be part of the 1/3 that will not deny JESUS CHRIST THE ETERNAL SON OF GOD?
CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE!!
There are no exceptions to the promises or the conditions of God!
When we pay the cost to learn the conditions then there are no exceptions!
We will forsake all and totally depend upon Him!
We will pick up our cross and follow HIM!
HE will bring us to the end of ourselves!
HE will cause us to be broken, humble and contrite!
We will be vessels of honor and not dishonor!
HE will save all our loved ones!
HE will heal all our diseases!
HE will get us out of debt and keep us out of debt!
HIS will will be done in us as it is in heaven!
Then we will inherit HIS promises including eternal life!

Many who never thought they would deny the Lord will. Interesting that the 2 thirds figure is given as to how many deny him in Islamic persecution.
If we are not dying to self NOW we will not make it THEN.

And then there are the one third that suffer unspeakable things for Jesus Christ even unto the death and do not lose their faith or passion. Help me/us Lord to be as brave as these that love you so fervently they truly surrender all.

Amen brother Amen!!
Today in the USA there are many different false jesus that don’t lead to where they say they are leading. The strongest false jesus is the jesus of the USA. The religious jesus of the USA that says only believe but does not teach the conditions. This jesus leads and keeps people in darkness that think that are alright. They are deceived! Once saved always saved is a lie from the USA jesus. The followers of the USA think they will inherit all the promises without meeting the conditions. They are like the Children of Israel that wandered in the wilderness and did not get to the Promised Land because they did not meet the conditions. All of them over 21 died in the wilderness but 2, Joshua and Caleb. Where did they go? They went to eternal punishment (hades, hell) and so will all those who don’t follow the Biblical Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and meet all the conditions to enter in to all HIS promises here in this world and eternal life in the world to come!
Philippians 2:5-16
“5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.”
(Philippians 2:5-16)
Philippians 3:7-21
“7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven {we live or conduct ourselves as citizens of heaven, or, for obtaining heaven}; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
(Philippians 3:7-21)
Galatians 2:20
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

Hello Hodge,
You said (or quoted):

This quote seems a bit contrived in the absolute way it states the alternatives. Are you quoting an article or are these your words?
Not being contentious, just curious!
William
I want to believe!
