Prophetic Dream that grieved my heart

[Starise]

I know of a few people in Norway. One who works in the local TV station in Oslo and another who is retired but still recording music there.

So that's like 2 people out of how many millions? I didn't know they were so distant from the gospel. One of those people is a believer I think. The other one is highly doubtful.

Here in the US I see things getting worse unfortunately.

They say when the going gets tough the tough get going. Paul said he was here to finish the race with a good report.

This is how I view the church. As things get worse we will draw together tighter and closer to the Lord. There is only one true thing in this world to hang on to and we know what it is. I think many churches need a little shake up in order to wake up.

Those who are not truly believers will be like the leaves that fall to the ground and wilt in the sun. Pulled about by all kinds of false doctrine.

Sometimes I wonder why the prosperity gospel continues to grow when it isn't effective. Why don't people see it for what it is?

Maybe the prosperity doctrine congregations grows, because the members only want to listen to what iches their ears, and they do not want to listen to the Truth anymore? 😔

Thanks Joshua, which church do you cooperate with ?

I went with a ministry called Ignite the World, which goes to persecuted countries and helps connect missionaries together so they are not isolated in their mission to bring the Gospel and they go to Churches training believers in evangelism. It was really humbling to meet some of the people spreading Jesus, one guy led 500 Muslims to the Lord and someone shot him from a few feet away and not a single bullet touched him. Another guy went to Afghanistan and God was using him to heal the sick, cast out demons, and they tried to bomb him but the Lord had him leave the building right before it went off. Others lived through genocides and horrible persecution but are still standing strong in their faith.

I visited a handful of Islands training churches in evangelism and also sharing the Gospel with Muslims on some of the Islands. One amazing thing God opened up is we got to teach the Indonesian military on how to share the Gospel on the Island of Pupua.

How do you train for evangelism?

Is it safe for all concerned to even answer that questions publicly?

"The persecution of Christians in Indonesia has worsened in recent years. There were three attacks on Christians within a six-month period between 2020 and 2021, killing eight believers, while Indonesian society has taken on a more conservative Islamic character, putting added pressure on Christians."

This is a great point. I was just looking at the ‘Ignite the World’ website, blog, etc. there are many photos of believers in places where Christians are killed regularly.

I struggle with grasping this and not think things I would rather not.

I have no trouble with people who are willing to expose themselves to risks, but publicizing the actions of others (like a church and potentially everyone in the church and there families) is another matter, and up to those individuals.

I understand your point and appreciate it. I have a hard time thinking believers would test the Lord in such a way, putting so many at great risk….and why?

Just me and I may be all wet.
