Editorial Group Special Section: Pray for the Unity of The Quintuplets of Chinese —Like Five Fingers Working Together

【Special Article: Global Chinese quintuplets are Chinese living in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and overseas. Although these Chinese settled in different locations, even under different regimes, they all enjoyed the same food, used same language, and with the same blood flowing in their veins. Most importantly, they all carry the calling and destiny of God before the foundation of the world. 

The Current Situation of Chinese Quintuplets

I believe many Chinese may not  agree with this statement, and may even have very strong opinions against it. Indeed, the Chinese quintuplet is a very loose term. Looking at the situation today, Chinese are not only not united, they are like scattered sand, contending or even hate each other. In particular, since People’s Party fought against the Communist party for Mainland China in 1948, the relationship has not improved. In the past six months, Hong Kong has demonstrated the intense situation even more. From the perspective of politics and earthly government, the descendants of Chinese as “Chinese quintuplets” is like unreachable Utopia. … Detailed Reading】

Editorial Group Special Section: Nita (LaFond) Johnson – Jan. 2009 New Orleans Revival Services

God is getting ready to do something extraordinary in the Body of Christ! He is in the process of preparing Himself a body of believers—His purified Bride—to present her to the world. He has been preparing a leadership for many years to guide His Bride in the steps that she must take to become all she can be to this world. Heretofore, however, we the Body of Christ have walked so far below where we are called to walk.

Once, while in prayer, the Lord came to me. Feeling very courageous, I asked Him:, “Lord, what is the one thing that hurts your heart more than anything else?” I thought He might say it was all the people who are dying and going to hell. We have all these images in our mind of what God might say if we were to ask Him critical questions like this. He shocked me with His answer. “The one thing that hurts Me more than anything else,” He said, ” is the fact that My Church has never entered into full stature as depicted in Ephesians 4:12-13″: His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints, (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the Church). [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. … Detailed Reading

Editorial Group Special Section: Pray for the Unity of The Quintuplets of Chinese —Like Five Fingers Working Together

【Special Article: Global Chinese quintuplets are Chinese living in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and overseas. Although these Chinese settled in different locations, even under different regimes, they all enjoyed the same food, used same language, and with the same blood flowing in their veins. Most importantly, they all carry the calling and destiny of God before the foundation of the world. 

The Current Situation of Chinese Quintuplets

I believe many Chinese may not  agree with this statement, and may even have very strong opinions against it. Indeed, the Chinese quintuplet is a very loose term. Looking at the situation today, Chinese are not only not united, they are like scattered sand, contending or even hate each other. In particular, since People’s Party fought against the Communist party for Mainland China in 1948, the relationship has not improved. In the past six months, Hong Kong has demonstrated the intense situation even more. From the perspective of politics and earthly government, the descendants of Chinese as “Chinese quintuplets” is like unreachable Utopia.

Chinese Carry The Last Baton To Finish The Final Race of The Great Commission

From God’s perspective, we can have very different insights and experiences.

• Acts 16: 6-8  ” Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia, when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.” 

These are the only two records in the Bible where the Holy Spirit clearly prohibit people from preaching the gospel. Which is very interesting. If the Holy Spirit did not stop Paul, then Paul will not hear the call from Macedonia, Paul may have preached the Gospel in Asia Minor eastward. Which means Paul would have arrived in Asia and China first instead Continental Europe today! In other words, the Holy Spirit seems to have specially reserved the descendants of Asian and Chinese  in the Far East to hear and accept the gospel last.

We all know, China is the country with the most Christian population in the world today. And the earliest history of Chinese believers is only 200 years. Robert Morrison, who completed the translation of the Chinese Bible then, was not even allowed to live on mainland China, but in Macau. Compared with Christians in Europe and the Middle East date back to almost two thousand years. Christians in the Far East can be said to be the last group to hear the Gospel.

God does things in His order and principles. God had a special plan to reserve the Chinese to be the last group to complete the relay race.

Every nation is precious treasure of God, with different calling and timing. If we do not respond, God can raise up other people to answer the call. The Chinese being the last leg of the race does not mean that we are better or different than others. It is the plan of God. Today God is raising up Chinese to fulfill God’s plan: to spread the gospel to the entire world, and eventually return the gospel to the starting point: Jerusalem. 

(1040 Window -The Region Between Divine Continent and Jerusalem)

When Jesus ascended to heaven, the disciples were overwhelmed, and the angel told Jesus’ disciples:

• Acts 1:11 “Man of Galilee, they said, why do you stand here looking into the sky ? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” 

In the past two thousand years, the gospel spread from Jerusalem westward to Europe, then to the  continental America and finally to the Far East; if it is to be spread all over the world, the so-called 1040 window: Today this last unreached area is exactly between China and Jerusalem. Doesn’t it make it more clear why the Chinese are God’s last baton in the last days? We now know why God created so many Chinese, because it requires a large population to accommodate this large group of people that is full of conflicts and wars. Therefore, God destined the Chinese not only be the last group to become believers, but also be the country with the largest population in the world. In this critical moment, in the eyes of the world, the Chinese have grown tremendously in all areas in the last 30 years, par with the United States, and even become a global leader! Isn’t this a reminder for the Chinese the special plan and intention God has for us?

In fact, as early as 70 years ago, Christians on the mainland of China had received the vision from the Holy Spirit to return to Jerusalem. Obviously, the devil is not happy to see the gospel spread throughout the world. The power of darkness raged fiercely, after the civil war between the KMT and the Communist Party, and the plan to evangelize westward and return to Jerusalem ceased.

The Christians around the globe is waiting for the unity of Chinese, not the superficial unity politically, mentally or the will of man’s heart; but a genuine understanding and willingness to obey and fulfill the will of God for China before the foundation of the earth. 

The Quintuplets of Chinese, can no longer only consider their own agendas and fight with each other. The time is drawing near; Now Christians are growing rapidly in 1040 window, if the Chinese Quintuplets, having the same blood, continue to hate and compete with each others, and can’t become the 5 fingers on one hand, then God can’t use this hand, just like Jesus said,

Instead, by God’s mercy, may He reveal the strategy of devil, so that the Chinese quintuplets can gladly embrace the will of the Lord, and the government of China become the kingdom of God in culture, justice, and love. The Quintuplets will work hand in hand with each other to be used by the Lord.

May the Lord fulfill His own will, so we will not come empty-handed when we meet the Lord, but be the servants praised by the Lord, carrying all nations and people back to Jerusalem! Amen ! 】

(Full text from pastor David Peng, First Presbyterian Church of New Jersey)

70 years are passing before our eyes, just like Daniel he was waiting patiently, trusting and believing God’s plan will fulfill completely, by the promises God has given to the prophets. Chinese of today, we must follow the same earnestness as Daniel, (Lord, no more delay, accomplish Your will, allow us to co- labor with You, the fulness of time has come,  may Your will be done!)

• Isaiah 2: 2-3 “In the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will stand firmer than the mountains, and lift up beyond the mountains, and all nations will return to this mountain. Many nations will come and say,” Come Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and go to the house of the God of Jacob. The Lord will teach us his way, and we will walk in his way, because the instruction will come from Zion, and the word of the Lord will come from Jerusalem.”

【Prayer】

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for helping us understand that the churches in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and overseas are like the “Chinese quintuplets” born by God in the last days, are indispensable as brothers. For the “Chinese quintuplets” to hear the calling of the Lord to arise and shine at this critical moment Those who are awake must try to wake up the one that is asleep, to rise up and stand boldly to respond to God! The “Chinese quintuplets” must be stand in accordance to the position of destined by the Lord, with the gifts and talents given by God to love and help each other to unite as one to enter the destiny of Chinese. Spread the gospel throughout all nations and peoples to return to Jerusalem together, and welcome the returning of the glorious King! 

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Editorial Group Special Section: Nita (LaFond) Johnson – Jan. 2009 New Orleans Revival Services

God is getting ready to do something extraordinary in the Body of Christ! He is in the process of preparing Himself a body of believers—His purified Bride—to present her to the world. He has been preparing a leadership for many years to guide His Bride in the steps that she must take to become all she can be to this world. Heretofore, however, we the Body of Christ have walked so far below where we are called to walk.

Once, while in prayer, the Lord came to me. Feeling very courageous, I asked Him:, “Lord, what is the one thing that hurts your heart more than anything else?” I thought He might say it was all the people who are dying and going to hell. We have all these images in our mind of what God might say if we were to ask Him critical questions like this. He shocked me with His answer. “The one thing that hurts Me more than anything else,” He said, ” is the fact that My Church has never entered into full stature as depicted in Ephesians 4:12-13″: His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints, (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the Church). [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

These priceless words of Scripture, revealed through the apostle Paul, depict the process of coming into the full measure of the stature of the Son of God.

The thing that brings the Lord the most sorrow is that His Church has never come into the full stature of walking in the completeness that is found in Christ. In other words, it is the failure of His Body to come into the full stature that made Christ—the Son of Man—who He is in God. Of course we will never be God. However, in Christ’s own union with the Father as perfect man we find the picture of our ultimate calling. We are to walk in that same fullness of mature sonship in which we radiate the virtues of Christ, emanating the very life of God Himself. In that place we exhibit the life of God because we have died to the world, to ourselves, and to our flesh. Christ lives His life through us. The thing that has hurt our Lord the most is that the Body has never come into this place of stature.

I can remember a time, about twenty five years ago, when Jesus appeared to me while I was in prayer. Suddenly before me stood the Lord. He showed me in a vision a great gulf fixed between where we as the Church walked and where we were called to walk as sons of God. This gulf seemed to be the size of the Grand Canyon. We were on one side of this canyon. God’s purpose and plan was on the other. Between us was this huge canyon. When I realized where we were and where we were supposed to be, I cried out to Him in desperation. Finally, He said to me, “With God, nothing is impossible.” Despite the pain we as a Body who have never come into the full stature has caused Him, He is not angry with us. It hurts Him badly, though. He’s hurt because He wants so much for us, yet has to settle for so little. I was feeling very depressed, as you can imagine. I was in need of encouragement. So I said, “Lord, what is the one thing that brings you the greatest joy?” He looked at me, smiling radiantly, “The Jubilee Anointing as depicted in Isaiah 61.“

THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion –to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit — that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. (Is. 61:1-3, Amplified)

The Jubilee Anointing which is to come fills the Lord with unbridled exuberance: I’m going to pour this out of my Church. I am going to do for her what she cannot do on her own. We are so far away from where He wants us. He has a plan and the power to bring us into the full stature of mature sonship through the Jubilee Anointing and this is going to bring Him the greatest joy.

It is He Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of a letter (of a legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive. Now if the dispensation of death engraved in letters on stone [the ministration of the Law], was inaugurated with such glory and splendor that the Israelites were not able to look steadfastly at the face of Moses because of its brilliance, [a glory] that was to fade and pass away, Why should not the dispensation of the Spirit [this spiritual ministry whose task it is to cause men to obtain and be governed by the Holy Spirit] be attended with much greater and more splendid glory? For if the service that condemns [the ministration of doom] had glory, how infinitely more abounding in splendor and glory must be the service that makes righteous [the ministry that produces and fosters righteous living and right standing with God]! Indeed, in view of this fact, what once had splendor [the glory of the law in the face of Moses] has come to have no splendor at all, because of the overwhelming glory that exceeds and excels it [the glory of the Gospel in the face of Jesus Christ]. For if that which was but passing and fading away came with splendor, how much more must that which remains and is permanent abide in glory and splendor! Since we have such [glorious] hope (such joyful and confident expectation), we speak very freely and openly and fearlessly. Nor [do we act] like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the finish of the vanishing [splendor which has been put upon it]. (II Corinthians 3:6-13, Amplified)

Think about what this passage says and what you have read and learned in the Word about what occurred during the giving of the Law on Sinai. Angels were atop the mountain, and they looked like flames of fire to all of Israel. The thundering voice of God could be heard. The sound of trumpets was bursting forth. The mountain was shaking and trembling under the glory of the Father and the glory shone from the face of Moses. It shone so brilliantly. It did not just shine, it flashed. The glory emanating from the shining face of Moses radiated with such magnificence, and so abundantly, that the flashing glory covered his entire being. The glory of God was being manifested in the face of a man.

Picture yourself standing at the bottom of Mount Sinai. Now imagine seeing the fire of God resting on the mountain and hearing the angels and the thundering voice of God. Couple that with the intensity of the mountain shaking under His glory and the trumpets blasting. Then you see Moses coming down from the mountain. This is a man everyone knows—a mere man, albeit a great leader—but now he is clothed in the magnificent flashing glory and splendor of God. You have never seen such an utterly astonishing sight. This experience is so amazing you don’t know whether to stand, bow, or fall down on your face. You simply do not know what to do.

You see, as God thundered the Law into the hearts of the people, His words came down from atop the mountain and the spirit of His words engulfed each person who was standing at the foot of the mountain. The words of God entered into their hearts, into their souls, so transforming them that they were thrust into the highest dimensions of spiritual reality. . What a display of the magnificence of God took place that day. The nation called by God was taken into such a deep spiritual realm that they could see clearly the kingdom of God. As the revelation began to dissipate, however, the people fell back down to their natural, carnal understanding of things. However, all Israel did experience a deep spiritual experience at the bottom of the mountain as God was thundering His Law into their hearts. The only one who didn’t come down from that experience was Moses. His countenance continued to shine with splendor, and it reminded Israel of what could also be theirs permanently. Simply awesome—imagine standing at the bottom of the mountain beholding and experiencing all of that!

The Bible says that the dispensation of grace must be accompanied by a glory and splendor greater than that shown at Mount Sinai. It must be, because time cannot end until that is fulfilled. We have yet to see this glory, this splendor, here on earth. It is not recorded in the Bible nor is it recorded in history; yet, here we are—and I don’t see anyone, including myself, radiating this splendor. It will be accompanied with a greater glory than took place so many millenniums before. The millions standing at the foot of the mountain back then had such a spiritual experience that they were lifted up—body, soul and spirit—into an experience of the reality of the coming Kingdom of God.

Imagine coming into a church service and seeing a minister speak with words so full of the power and splendor of God. Because he walks in the transcendent glory himself, every word he speaks carries the power to cause a translation, a transfiguration, to take place inside of you. The Bible says that a greater glory than what occurred that day at the foot of the mountain must be realized in this dispensation. I hear people, even prophets, say that the dispensation of the Church is over. But it is not over until the word of the Lord comes to pass. This is a glorious word about the Church that is going to display the magnanimity, majesty, splendor, glory, and wisdom of God. The world is going to be left shaking and trembling under the revelation of the Kingdom that it sees through the Church.

Something is happening inside of me, even now. There is a glory coming so great you are not going to know what to do with it. It is coming, and it will transform you into something you never thought you could be. It is going to be so great that the world is going to have to admit that Jesus Christ truly is God! Because I see it in His Church, all of the negativity is going to be stripped from your mind—the fears and the anxieties, all the foreboding and guilt, all the times you should have and didn’t and all the things you did, when you shouldn’t have. It is all going to be stripped away and in its place is going to be the faith, love, glory, righteousness, holiness, justice, and splendor of God. Not only is it transforming you, but it is moving out like ripples into the world touching and transforming any who will. The glory and the splendor must transcend the days of Moses, and we have yet to see it.

The time is coming when the Church will no longer be concerned about the house they live in or the car they drive, about whether or not someone down the street thinks that they’re valuable because they live in the same economic bracket. These things are no longer going to matter. I can promise you, pinned under the weight of the glory at the bottom of that mountain, the Israelites were not worrying over Jacob, Joel, or Jonas, sandwiched among the multitudes around them, being garbed in finer tunics or numbered among the more famous tribes of the sons of Israel. The millions at the scene, one and all alike, were not worried about such things. The only thing that mattered at that moment in time was their hearing the glorious, thundering voice of God that was transforming their very being. They suddenly realized that the world wasn’t what they thought it was nor the destination of their destiny where they thought they were headed. The things they thought were so important in Egypt all of a sudden carried no weight in that one glorious moment. They lost their lustre in the light of what was happening inside them. And O to think that the glory that is coming—the splendor all transcendent—is going to be far greater than what has ever been seen!

Many fear that it could come and they might miss it. The truth is all they really need to do is get in the way of the River with a heart that is willing to let go of, and give up, all that the River wants of you. It is critical that we let go of the things which hinder: the need to be important, the need to be famous, the need to keep up with the Jones’s, and the need to surround oneself with material things. We need to let go of the need to have our own way—even our rights and privileges as our own person. Now that sounds pretty dramatic. But you will understand when Jesus comes in to dwell and live His life through you to the point that He owns you the way you were created to be possessed. It’s not about you any more—it’s about Him, which is how it was supposed to be all along. That was the plan for Adam, but he forgot. For one brief tragic moment, it became more about Eve than about the One who created him. And from that point on, the sin of rebellion and betrayal has ever remained with us. Doesn’t the whole of history attest to that?

Pray for United States: Pray for President Trump facing impeachment

【Current Affairs: Since taking office, US President Trump has not only been busy with various decisions and agreements in international diplomacy, but also must continue to cope with untrue complaints and provocations from opposition parties and mainstream media. The Democratic Party has been deliberately trying to impeach him. By “passing the Russian gate”, impeachment cannot be achieved. Recently, the “Ukrainian gate” has risen, putting President Trump in a storm of impeachment. If impeached, President Trump will become the third president to be impeached in American history.

Why impeachment? In mid-September, a “discoverer” accused Trump in a phone call with the President of Ukraine, asking the President of Ukraine to investigate the corruption case involving the son of former U.S. Vice President Biden. Biden is suspected of competing for the presidency. This complaint eventually evolved into the “Ukrainian Gate,” giving Democrats the opportunity to launch an impeachment investigation.

Procedure for impeachment: According to Article 2 of the United States Constitution, Congress may initiate impeachment before the term of a president “convicts treason, bribery, felony, or misconduct.” The process of the impeachment of the President is: The impeachment of the President by the Federal House of Representatives, if approved by a simple majority, is sent to the Senate for trial, and a decision is made on whether to dismiss the President. At that time, the Chief Justice of the Federal Supreme Court will preside over the trial. Senators, like a “jury”, vote for or against it. At least 67 of the 100 seats (2/3 threshold) agree with the president’s guilty.

Current impeachment process: 

1. Impeachment investigation: On September 24, Speaker of the House of Representatives Pelosi announced the official launch of an impeachment investigation. Over the past two months, committees under the US House of Representatives have launched investigations. The Democratic Party was unable to find exact evidence to support their original “conditional exchange” complaints, and they continued to use different charges such as “treason”, “bribery”, “extortion”, “illegal campaign donations” to “obstruct judicial justice” Come to sue President Trump.
2. Impeachment clause: On December 5, Pelosi asked the Judiciary Committee to draft an impeachment clause. On December 10, the Judiciary Committee announced two terms to impeach President Trump: “abuse of power” and “hinder Congressional investigations.”
3. House vote : House Democrats plan to vote on this on December 18. With 233 seats in the House of Democrats and a 197-seat Republican, the impeachment case is likely to pass.
4. Send to the Senate for trial : If the House passes, it will be sent to the Senate for trial, chaired by the Chief Justice of the Federal Supreme Court, and the senators, like a “jury,” will vote for or against it. The Republican Party currently holds 53 of the 100 seats, and the chance of the Democratic impeachment passing is almost zero. Most analysts believe that Trump will be impeached, but will not be impeached.

The effect of impeachment: Some Democrats are worried that once the impeachment investigation is launched, it will anger a large number of Republican supporters and neutral voters. By the time of the 2020 congressional election, it will be difficult to secure a majority in the House of Representatives. According to Gallup, Trump ’s poll support rate among Republican supporters has risen from 80% in October to 90%. In some swing states, such as Pennsylvania and Florida, opinion polls show that after President Trump’s impeachment case, the opinion polls have slightly outperformed Democratic presidential candidates.

President Trump actively seeks prayer : On December 6, about 50 well-known pastors and worship leaders came to the White House to meet President Trump. He voluntarily asked them to pray for him and said: He needs to pray now more than ever.

Critical Event: Pray for Taiwan’s 2020 Presidential and Legislative Elections

【Current Affairs: The 2020 presidential and legislative elections in Taiwan will be held on January 11.  With more than a month to go before the beginning of next year’s general election, the closer the polling day is, the greater the voice of the media and the Internet.  However, most media reports on candidates are influenced by the apparent political ideology. There is much chaos in the news reports: words taken out of context, distortion, slandering, mocking, vilifying, etc. The sounds made by the Taiwan media are no longer objective and fair but, it affects people’s hearts and votes.

Laws and regulations in Taiwan are formulated, revised, and abolished by legislators. Legislators are elected by the people. There are also laws and regulations designed to prevent those in power from changing at will. However, since the marriage referendum resulted in favor of the traditional marriage law last year, some legislators still enforced the same marriage law against the will of the people.  We need to pray for Taiwan’s news media and legislative system to return to God’s way. 】(Reference: Pray for Taiwan 247, 11 / 25-12 / 1)

10-40 Window:  Pray For Countries of South Africa: Free From Poverty, Hunger, Displacement And Violence

【Background: West Africa refers to the east-west part of the South Atlantic coastline of the African continent in this area was once famous for the Ivory Coast and the Gold Coast. From the mid 15th century to the end of the 19th century, the slave trade was manipulated here, and now most African Americans are descendants of slaves who were trafficked from “West Africa” ​​to the United States. West African countries include Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Niger, Nigeria, etc.16 Countries. The West African countries are all Muslim countries, with a very low proportion of Christians.

Facing The Challenges of Extreme Forces of Hunger, Poverty And Violence:

The 16 countries in West Africa all face common challenges of extreme forces of hunger, poverty and violence. These countries were once French colonies, but now they have to rely on foreign aid to live. More than 2.4 million people in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali need food assistance. The lack of a stable regime in each country is a major cause of food shortages. Many smuggling gangs have allied with radical Islam, adding to the factors of social instability. The extremist ideas that have swept the Sahara have brought tremendous destructive power and displaced millions of people. The United Nations issued a warning in May this year that armed attacks in West Africa have reached unprecedented levels, coupled with droughts leading to agricultural decline, weak state institutions and poverty are fueling the penetration of extreme ideas. 

Persecution, Violent Attacks And Killings of Christians:

Radical Islamist attacks in the first half of 2019 have exceeded the total of 2018, and a large number of people have been forced to abandon their farmland to avoid the conflict. Throughout 2019, the impact of violent bloodshed and abductions against Christians, pastors and churches has led to a severe humanitarian crisis.】 (Source: Focus on the family, November 11, 2019)

Pray for First Nation of North America – Aboriginal Peoples of the World-Pray for the historic gathering of “A New Man-Prepare the Way for the Lord”

【Background: On December 2nd, we published a report on the ” Sea Boat” campaign and the wave of Aboriginal revival (for more reading, click here ) In it we introduced the “All People Prayer Assembly” (APPA), which emerged from the vision of the “Sea and Flat Boat”.

Since 1986, the Holy Spirit has led APPA to various places, including: Taiwan (2011), Indonesia (2012), the United States East Coast (2013), Malaysia (2014), Europe (2015) and Africa (2016), bringing together all ethnic groups , Especially the indigenous representatives, gathered worship and prayer, sought God’s guidance, opened the door of heaven, and completed the work that God would accomplish in these places.

During the 2017 Sukkot, Israel ’s Messiah leader, encouraged by the Pacific Islanders, inspected the vision of the “flat sea” and obtained confirmation from the Lord. For the first time in Abu Gush, Ghosh) opened and ended an international gathering in Jerusalem. The Jews and the Gentiles welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem as the King of Glory, bringing the wonderful glory of Jehovah. Since then, God has blessed the body of Christ in Israel (Jews and Arabs), bringing the love and union between leaders to a new height. Representatives of the nations also honored the Messianic believers and encouraged them to stand in the position of spiritual eldest sons and prepare the way for the alignment of Israel and the members of the nations of Christ.

Israel and the leaders of the nations quickly understood that the Feast of Tabernacles was not just a conference, but a gathering of prophecy and history that opened the door to the glory of the new season (Is . 61: 1-3) . The Lord is preparing His Bride, a new man who is a fusion of Jews and Gentiles (Ephesians 2: 11-12) .

In a prayer meeting at the end of 2018, the leaders of Israel and the nations under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, decided this year Dec. 15 to 19 , in Nazareth convened representatives of the parties, convene “a new man – prepare the way” party . This will be a historic and prophetly gathering. Aboriginal people will honor the leaders of the nations, lead the nations to worship the glorious kings, welcome the “Lion of Judah” to start the day of God’s revenge, and look deeper for how God prepared the way for him. Here’s what APPA said about the party.】
