Editor’s Note: David Peng: Convergence – Order In Chaos, The Kingdom of God Is Coming!
Date: April 4, 2020
The days are coming! A very urgent call is issued!
“Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.“ (John 12: 1- 3)
Yesterday was the sixth day before the Passover. The solemn assembly of the East Coast of the United States was a very important start because this year’s Passover will be an epoch-making. From the first time the Israelis were slaves in Egypt until this time, the nations were locked down at home as at the time of the first Passover. Praise Lord, for activating the East Coast of the United States (that is, the farthest East from Jerusalem) to gather. All the people of the Lord who are willing to have the blood of the Lord cover us can begin to repel the dark plague on the ground until the enemy is destroyed. At the same time, we must also open the window and shoot arrows to the East (2 Kings 13: 17-18). Raise up the end time Joshua army. Not only we will be like The first time when Moses led the people of Israel crossing the Red Sea and went out of Egypt. We can also follow the Joshua army to cross the Jordan River in the last days because Jesus the lamb that was slain had completed the work of redemption on the cross, and then it is the time to welcome the King of kings to return to the midst of us. …Detailed Reading
Editor’s Note: Spiritual Devotion by Nita Johnson: The Light (E)
- John 1:5 And the light shined on the darkness, for the darkness has never over-powered it, put it out, or absorbed it, or appropriated it and it is unreceptive to it.
That is incredible, right? I mean, what a sentence! What a sentence for the Lord to put in the hand of an adult, a child, or anyone who wants to read it to help us understand the truth about light and darkness. He is not only talking about the children of darkness or the spirit of darkness, but He is talking about the darkness that is in our own hearts, wherever we have darkness through unrepentant sin or even areas that need inner healing. If it produces darkness (a dark area in our heart), light cannot penetrate because the darkness will not receive it.
This is why we call someone a “babe in Christ.” Even though a person is a mature adult in Christ, as a babe, they have not developed the spiritual discernment to be able to understand truth to some level or another. If they are truly an adult Christian, a mature Christian, much of that darkness has been dealt with by the Spirit of Christ and in its place has been placed revelation, light, truth. So as Christians, we have to understand that we have to overcome sin; we do not just put up with it. We do not just sit back and say, “Well, that is the way I am,” because that is a language of darkness. What we need to do is sit down and say, “Okay, I have this bitterness in my heart. I have that bitterness in my heart. I have this injury. I have this unbelief,” Then say to yourself, “I want to overcome it. I want the light out of this darkness so that I can comprehend the highest truths of the Kingdom and start working from that end.”…Detailed Reading
Editor’s Note: Kathi Pelton: Intimate Worship Bring Down God’s Glory and Power
Date: 2020/3/28
This Is The Most Profound Encounter I Have Ever Had— And It’s For You…
Kathi Pelton
Since this virus hit our world I began hearing the Lord inviting us to come and sit at His table.
Then, He took me into a vision that became an encounter. This is the most life changing encounter that I have had because it has cleansed my heart.
In this encounter it was Springtime, as I could see the cherry blossom petals blowing all around.
I saw Jesus knocking on the heart of His Bride (the Church) and she opened the door but He could not come in because her heart was so cluttered. It was crammed full (overflowing) with “spiritual things” yet nothing of true eternal value.
Then our Bridegroom asked her if He could clean her heart and she said, “Yes, give me a clean heart.”
He then proceeded to pull EVERYTHING out. It was completely cleared and empty of everything but His presence at work within it. Then He brought in a small table and set it in the middle of this room (the Bride’s heart). He placed two chairs at this table. After setting the chairs down He placed a loaf of bread and a cup of wine on the table and He sat down. He then spoke and said,
“Come My Bride, come eat of Me and drink of Me— let us dine together on all that you need.”
As the bride sat down at this table of intimacy and began to partake of Him the glory of the Lord filled the room. She fell on her face at His feet and began to pour herself over His feet in worship that flowed from the intimacy that His body and blood—His sacrifice— revealed.
…Let us say “yes” to Him; come clean our hearts, set up His table and partake of His body and blood. May His glory fill the temple and power from on high come upon us as we pour ourselves out over His feet.

Pray for United States: Pastor Billy Graham’s Daughter Repent for The Sins Of America
【Current events: Mudi once said: “In this sinful generation, those who can leave the most profound impact are those who are willing to pray before God.” Thousands of people die every day because of the Coronavirus. While criticism, complaining, fear, judgment and chaos is spreading like a virus now, the daughter of the famous evangelist Billy Graham, 72-year-old Anne Graham Lotz sent a prayer on the blog intended to draw people’s attention back to God .
In this prayer, Anne lists the 11 “sins” she saw in the United States which are collective addiction to money and sex, pride, self-sufficiency, multiculturalism, and marginalized truth! She is asking: “Will this virus become the spark of the fire to ignite the spiritual awakening of this country?” She also cries deeply to God: “Father, forgive us】
【PRAYER】
Father God,
In a world of famine, floods, fire, disease, death, and the disruption of our everyday activities. On this day, when the President has called for a National Day of Prayer, we choose to look up from our knees. We see You seated on the throne of glory in control of all things.(Isaiah 6:1) All things. We know that You are a God of mercy, of grace, of faithfulness, of loving-kindness.(Ephesians 2:4; 2 Corinthians 9:14;Exodus 34:6)
So, we reject fear of the coronavirus and its impact on our lives, instead of placing our faith in You.
You have said that Your ears are open to our cry,(Psalm 4:3) Your eyes are upon us,(Psalm 33:18) that Your arms are long enough to reach us(Isaiah 59:1) and strong enough to hold us.(Psalm 139:7-10)
Hold us now. Hold us close. Quiet our racing hearts. Breathe Your Spirit of peace into the fear and turmoil within us. Even as I pray for Your peace, I wonder could this wicked, insidious, evil virus be the trigger the sparks a spiritual awakening in our beloved nation?
Are You trying to get our attention, and demanding we wake up in our relationship with You? I know we desperately need to wake up. We have legalized defiance of Your institution of marriage. We celebrate relationships that contradict Your instructions. We exterminate life that You created and that bears Your image for our own convenience. We have become so secularized we don’t even acknowledge You exist, much less reverence or obey You. You have my attention.
Therefore, like the prophet Daniel of old, I turn to You in humility and shame as I confess on behalf of America some of the national sins that come to mind(Daniel 9:1-19)
- I confess national addiction to sex. To money. To pleasure. To entertainment. To pornography. To technology. To drugs.To alcohol. To food. To television. To popularity. To ourselves.
- I confess our foolishness of denying You as the one, true, living God, our Creator to whom we are accountable, living as though our lives are a cosmic accident with no eternal significance, purpose or meaning.
- I confess our greed that has run up trillions of dollars of national debt.
- I confess our arrogance and pride that has led us to think we are sufficient in ourselves.
- I confess to believing that the prosperity of our nation is because we are great while refusing to acknowledge that all blessings come from Your hand.
- I confess that we depend upon our military might and our weapons systems to protect us from harm and danger while denying, defying, and ignoring You.
- I confess that we have succumbed to the pressure of pluralism in our desire to be inclusive so that we honor other gods as though You are just one of many.
- I confess that we have allowed the material blessings You have given us to deceive us into thinking we don’t need You.
- I confess that we live as though material wealth and prosperity will bring happiness.
- I confess that we have marginalized truth and mainstreamed lies.
- I confess that we have become one nation under many gods, divided and polarized, with license to sin and justice that no longer follows the rule of law. Holy Spirit of the living God, convince us of the need to turn away from our sin and get right with You. (John 16:8) Lord God, have mercy on us! As we repent of our sin and return to You, return to us! There is no one like You to help the powerless against this mighty disease.
Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on You and in Your name we come against this vast, invisible enemy. (2 Chronicles 14:11)
Once again, we hold You to the promise you gave to King Solomon. You said, When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land, or send a plague among My people,You said if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, You said then will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. You said,Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers (2 Chronicles 7:13-15)
We hold You to Your word as we plead with You. Hear our prayer. Forgive our sin. Heal our land. We are standing in the gap for our nation. We pray in the name of the One who is Our Deliverer. Our Beautiful and only Savior. Lord of the nations. Son of God and Son of Man. The living, reigning, soon to return Lord of lords and King of kings, Jesus Christ.
In His name and for His glory we pray, Amen
Pray for Israel:Israeli Coalition Government Fights the Epidemic
【Current Event: After the dramatic reversal of the chairman of the Blue and White Party, Benny Gantz, he was elected as the Speaker of the Israeli Parliament on Thursday night. As part of the emerging solidarity agreement, he split with his centrist alliance and joins his long-term opponent, Netanyahu, to form a coalition government. … Detailed Reading】
- Daniel 2:20-21 “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”
- Micah 6:8b “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
- Psalm 103:3 “who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,”
- Psalm 121:4 “Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”
【PRAYER】
- The Coalition Government Fights the Epidemic: In the midst of the coronavirus epidemic around the world, and right before the Passover, the Israeli coalition government was born. Lord, we thank You and praise You for this! We ask You to bless the government’s plan for the future and grant them divine wisdom to deal with the coronavirus crisis. Oh that the government would act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with You!
- The Blood of the Lamb Overcomes Sickness: Lord, we proclaim the blood of the Passover Lamb to once again cleanse Your people and the land of Israel. We ask You to forgive all their sins and heal all their diseases. He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
We pray in the name of Jesus, amen!
Global Critical Event
Critical Event: Pray for Women that Protect and Cherish the Unborn Babies and the Global Anti-Abortion Movement
【Current Event: Under the scourge of the Coronavirus the iconic white lights at night at the top of the Empire State Building in New York City changed into red lights, and the twirling red and white siren light symbolizing the heartbeat of the United States on March 30. To pay tribute to the frontline medical staff, but this move caused panic to some New Yorkers. The flashing and striking red lights also reminded us of what happened in January last year. Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York State, after signing the Reproductive Health Act, an abortion bill, ordered several important landmarks such as the New York World Trade Center to light up pink lights at night. This evil bill came into effect on January 22, 2019. The new law allows people without a doctor’s license to perform abortion, and allows mothers to have an abortion right up to delivery without any reason. (The previous law only allowed women whose life is endangered to have an abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy.) Someone once described the pink spire of the World Trade Center looked like an injection of a highly toxic needle into an unborn child. But now, the red lights and sirens of the Empire State Building symbolizing the heartbeat of the United States are more like the blood and mourning of the tens of thousands of aborted fetuses? … Detailed Reading】
- Proverbs 6:17 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood
- Psalm 127: 3 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
- Psalm 139: 13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
- Isaiah 26: 8-9 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
【PRAYER】
- Confession And Repentance: Father God! The fetus is the most vulnerable and helpless in the world, and it is the weakest among the weak. We have committed the sin of shedding the blood of innocent people. We ask for forgiveness for the thousands of fetuses we have aborted every year and forgive us for killing the life created in Your hands. Especially behind this sin, the sin of adultery (extramarital affairs, premarital sex, rape …) we also ask for forgiveness. We also confess and repent for the sin of offering babies as sacrifice for idolatry to comfort, materialism, Mamon, and other idols. We ask for the mercy of the Lord. Please turn the heart of the father to the children. (Proverbs 6:17)
We Declare In The Victorious Name of The Lord Jesus Christ:
- Salvation and Freedom Come to Women Who Aborted Babies: God’s salvation and freedom will come to those women who had abortion and are disturbed by the sin. You breathe upon them, so that their spirits will be awakened to you, and knowing that God values every baby. Life is fearfully and wonderfully made by God, and the womb is God’s given reward. (Psalm 139: 13-16, Psalm 127: 3)
- Break The Power Behind Abortion: The power of God’s Cross breaks the power behind the “pro-choice” rebellion and progressive movement. Break the indifference of the abortion clinic staff, so that they can see the miracle of life from God. Policies to prevent the legalization of abortion, close abortion clinics, and allow more babies to be born.
- Leaders Will Fear God: Transform leaders of all countries, and give reverence to God. You are the desire in their heart, align with God’s will, respect life, love life, and defend life. (Isaiah 26: 8-9)
Pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Editor’s Note: David Peng: Convergence – Order In Chaos, The Kingdom of God Is Coming!
Date: April 4, 2020
David Peng
The days are coming! A very urgent call is issued!
“Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.“ (John 12: 1- 3)
Yesterday was six days before the Passover. The solemn assembly of the East Coast of the United States was a very important start because this year’s Passover will be an epoch-making. From the first time the Israelis were slaves in Egypt until this time the nations were locked down at home as at the time of the first Passover. Praise Lord, for activating the East Coast of the United States (that is, the farthest East from Jerusalem) to gather. All the people of the Lord who are willing to have the blood of the Lord above us can begin to repel the dark plague on the ground until the enemy is destroyed. At the same time, we must also open the window and shoot arrows to the East (2 Kings 13: 17-18). Raise up the end time Joshua army. Not only we will be like The first time when Moses led the people of Israel crossing the Red Sea and went out of Egypt. We can also follow the Joshua army to cross the Jordan River in the last days because Jesus the lamb that was slain had completed the work of redemption on the cross, and then it is the time to welcome the King of kings to return to the midst of us.
Today is the tenth day of Nisan. Let’s continue with the leading of the spirit from the solemn assembly. Just like Jesus, we went into Jerusalem to be interrogated by different people. It’s like taking the lamb ready to be slain home to examine to see if there is any defect. We should do the same. Prepare ourselves as overcomers to bear the power and authority to colabor with the Lord. To be able to carry the ark together to cross over the troubled water.
Today, the tenth day of the first month of Nisan is the day of preparation. For circumcision, for inspection, and the day when all of us stand up in the middle of the river, a tribe that makes a covenant with the Lord. The day of recruitment for Joshua’s army to finally possess the land as inheritance. The day when the Lord will be reigning forever. The day when the kingdom of God is on the earth as it is in heaven!
“On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho. And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God “ Joshua 4: 19-24
The plague is now raging all over the world, and it is chaotic. However, The Lord sits enthroned over the flood. The Lord is enthroned as King forever just like the scene of the delivery room right before delivery. The moaning, groaning, screaming, panting from slow to fast becoming more and more intense. Even to exhaustion, but the order is in this chaos. Full of hope and expectation because a new life is about to be born, and wait until that loud cry, the child is born!
Now, is that moment of birth. Dear family, the convening order has been issued. Let us prepare ourselves together! The covenant army, we are one, we need to wash all our filth away in the Jordan River become one with each other. One with the Lord, the world will recognize it. We belong to the Lord and they will know that Jesus is sent by the Father!

Editor’s Note: Spiritual Devotion Nita Johnson: The Light (E)
- John 1:5 And the light shined on the darkness, for the darkness has never over-powered it, put it out, or absorbed it, or appropriated it and it is unreceptive to it.
That is incredible, right? I mean, what a sentence! What a sentence for the Lord to put in the hand of an adult, a child, or anyone who wants to read it to help us understand the truth about light and darkness. He is not only talking about the children of darkness or the spirit of darkness, but He is talking about the darkness that is in our own hearts, wherever we have darkness through unrepentant sin or even areas that need inner healing. If it produces darkness (a dark area in our heart), light cannot penetrate because the darkness will not receive it.
This is why we call someone a “babe in Christ.” Even though a person is a mature adult in Christ, as a babe, they have not developed the spiritual discernment to be able to understand truth to some level or another. If they are truly an adult Christian, a mature Christian, much of that darkness has been dealt with by the Spirit of Christ and in its place has been placed revelation, light, truth. So as Christians, we have to understand that we have to overcome sin; we do not just put up with it. We do not just sit back and say, “Well, that is the way I am,” because that is a language of darkness. What we need to do is sit down and say, “Okay, I have this bitterness in my heart. I have that bitterness in my heart. I have this injury. I have this unbelief,” Then say to yourself, “I want to overcome it. I want the light out of this darkness so that I can comprehend the highest truths of the Kingdom and start working from that end.”
You cannot manipulate God to do it! You cannot demand Him to do it! You cannot! I just do not even know all the words that I can use, but we cannot do that! What we have to do is humble ourselves and repent of the sin, the judgement, the unbelief, the apathy. Whatever the darkness is in our hearts, we must repent of it and command it to go and seek the Lord for the light of His truth and when His truth can come into an area in our heart that has been prepared for Him in this manner, then you can understand it. You can go into the heights of understanding because you have been prepared for it. The darkness cannot comprehend the light, but the light can sure get rid of the darkness.
John 1:8, 9 & 14 He was not the light Himself, but came, that He might be their witness regarding the light. There it was. The true light was then, coming into the world, the genuine, perfect, steadfast light that illuminates every person. And the Word Christ became flesh. Human incarnate and tabernacled, and fixed His tent of flesh, lived a while among us and we actually saw His glory, His honor, His majesty. Such glory as an Only Begotten Son receives from His Father, full of grace, favor, loving kindness and truth.
Okay, we understand by these three scriptures, and it is amazing to me, that there probably has not been, outside of Moses, a purer soul in the whole Earth than John the Baptist! And yet, the Bible is telling us that he was not The Light! This man would have been filled with The Light, but He was not The Light. Christ is The Light and if we want something from The Light, such as the illumination of the glories of Heaven to be given, to be an empowerment, to be a guide to us, then we must admit that we can only get the light from Christ. Even as we study His Word, wherever our intellect is speaking louder than Truth, we are not receiving the Light of Christ. Only in humility, only in purity of heart can He give more and more and more of the Light, and right now He is building soldiers of light.
He is going to start out with the implanted seed of light, of life, of truth. But from there you grow until, if you could see inside your being, you would be amazed to see that if you have done everything you should have done, you are light!
To be continued next week…
In Him,
Nita

Declaration Prayer: Prayer of Confession and Repentance During the Global Pandemic (1)
Editor’s note: We will publish prayers of repentance at all levels this month. Pray for the Holy Spirit to help us to stand in the gap for the individual, family, church, cities and the countries to confess and repent thoroughly, so the will of God can be accomplished in us!
【Background: The earth needs rest, and people need rest to satisfy the heart of the Lord! Human beings are obsessed with the pursuit of the world. Driven constantly day and night everyone is restless and gloomy everywhere. The plague raged, and the people were panicked. The church continues to say peace, peace. Not realize that the judgment begins with the house of God.
The Angel of Destruction was not looking whether the family was Israeli or Egyptian, but was checking whether there was blood in the door post. In the same way, God is also testing Christians and His churches for the visible sign of the blood of the Lord Jesus.
Yes, this is the moment God puts the rebellious Jonah into the belly of the fish. Timed the children of God are locked in to be crushed to be made humble on the inside. “Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer.“(Isaiah 26: 20-21) Only blood can bring redemption, so Jesus became a scapegoat. At the same time, only by our confession and repentance can we receive forgiveness. Otherwise, who can stand it?
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29: 11-13)
Lord, please accept our confession, speak to us, cleanse us, cleanse Your church, and let the end time revival begin from this moment and let it start with us.

Someone once described the pink spire of the World Trade Center looked like an injection of a highly toxic needle into an unborn child. But now, the red lights and sirens of the Empire State Building symbolizing the heartbeat of the United States are more like the blood and mourning of the tens of thousands of aborted fetuses?
The Bible had explained the consequences of shedding innocent blood of people. He spoke in Genesis 4: 10-12: “Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”
Obviously, this is a serious sin and needs to be repented and confessed before the Lord. This door that opens to the spirit of death needs to be closed. The number of abortions in the world is difficult to count. Not to mention that each abortion represents a living person and is brutally destroyed in the mother’s womb. Each fetus has his/her own unique DNA which makes him/her different from the parents. The fetus has a heartbeat when being aborted. This kind of abortion is like a modern version of the Jews who were massacred, but what is even worse is that these babies have no chance of escape. This is not only the sin of shedding innocent people, but it also angers God.
“Global abortion kills 42 million lives in 2018 “
According to the World Real-Time Statistics official website (Worldometers), the number of deaths caused by abortions in the world was higher than the deaths caused by other reasons in 2018. The statistics sadly reminds how prevalent abortions are. In 2018, there were nearly 42 million abortions worldwide. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), 23% of pregnant women had an abortion in 2018; 10 out of 33 newborns died from abortion.
Nearly 1 million fetuses are aborted every year in the United States: Since Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States in 1973, an estimated 60 million fetuses have been aborted
4 European countries: Britain, France, Germany and Spain have up to 600,000 abortions each year
France: It is one of the countries with the highest number of abortions in Europe, reaching 22,300 in 2018. The majority of abortions in France (209,500) occur in metropolitan areas.
United Kingdom: In 2018, there were 210,370 abortions. This is the first time since 2013 that abortions have occurred across all ages.
Germany: The number of abortions last year reached 100,893, which is 0.1% less than the previous year (100,986). Article 2018 of the German Criminal Code stipulates that counselling must be provided before abortion. After consultation, the women will get a certificate, which is a necessary condition for women to have an abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy without penalty.
Spain: In 2018, 95,917 women decided to have an abortion, an increase of 1.91% from 2017, showing that the number of abortions has shown a stable trend since the new law was passed in 2010. 90.44% of abortions are due to women’s demands. Only 5.95% of them were because pregnancy seriously threatened women ’s lives or health, and 3,187 people had abortions due to serious fetal abnormalities

Pray For The Miao Tribe In China: “The Sound to Welcome the Return of the Lord”
【Event: Last week, we mentioned that the intercessor sensed the heart of God to raise up the First Nation people to restore the tribal “ancient sound”. We received a message from the gatekeeper of the 24/7 Prayer Center in Guizhou, Xiao Lan, through the 24/7 Prayer Center in New York requesting prayer for the Chinese First Nation, the Miao people, which is the tribe that focus on praise and worship. For them to live out God’s destiny for the Miao people in China. The following is what sister Xiao Lan shared about the Miao people in Guizhou, China:
A nation that is powerful in warfare
In ancient China, there was a distinguished history and background, the Chinese Han people is considered the descendent of emperors. Chiyou, the ancestor of the Miao is comparable to the Chinese emperor. Chiyou was good at fighting, proficient in the production of various weapons and capable of training, and is well-equipped. He had nine military teams and seventy-two generals, and the troops encamped in eighty-one villages. Chiyou’s totem is cow; everything that related to cow, such as horns, body, feet and cattle are all respected by Chiyou.
In the period of the three tribes of emperor Yan, emperor Huang and Chiyou were at their greatest strength. Chiyou repeatedly defeated the emperor Yan. Later, emperor Yan and emperor Huang jointly launched a famous battle of Zhuolu against Chiyou at Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province. Chiyou was defeated and killed in this battle which changed the history of Miao.
A people that went through persecution and forced migration
Since the battle of Zhuolu, Miao had fallen into the sad history of disaster-stricken, sentient, and slaughter. It has left this nation’s footprint from the Central Plains to the Great Southwest and around the world. From such long and prolonged migration, there is no way of determining what happened in which dynasty and which generation. This arduous road, a chapter intertwined with blood and tears, is known by experts and scholars as the “Million miles conquest” and “Jews of the East” in the history of the world. Australian Geddes wrote in his “Mountain Nation” book: “There are two nations in the world that went through catastrophic sufferings and remain tenacious and unyielding. They are the Miao in China and the Jewish nations scattered around the world. Their immortal spirit, the song of sorrow of thousands of miles, put the world at awe.”
A nation looking for salvation.
At the beginning of the 20th century, in September 1903, four Miao people went out to hunt. They met the British missionary Dang Juren in Anshun, Guizhou. Dang Juren saw that they were hungry and exhausted. He offered them biscuits to eat, and told them that it was “God’s food ” in Miao language. Ah! They were so flattered to know there is a God that showed them such compassion while they were hungry. Since then, they went to Anshun County often to hear the message. They had to travel across the mountains from their place of residence and walked for more than ten days. Seeing this situation, in order to reduce their traveling time, Dang Juren suggested them go to Yunnan Zhaotong to find another British missionary, Berkely. (it will only takes two days from Weining to Zhaotong) With a letter of recommendation from Dang Juren, they found Berkely in Zhaotong, and he received them warmly.
In Berkely’s dairy, he wrote: “I only say ‘Lord Jesus loves you’ to the Miao people who came to find Jesus. tears began to flow from their eyes, and Berkely was amazed by their responses to Jesus after receiving the gospel. There was an instinctive recognition of Jesus. From that point on, they will greet each other by saying ‘I love Jesus.’ The gospel of love spread among the Miao people. They earnestly hunger and thirst to seek and find Jesus. Under the guidance of the light of the Holy Spirit and the hard work of the missionary, Berkely and the entire ethnic group culture was built on the foundation of faith in Christ Jesus. Berkely said: ‘The conversion of the Miao is just like the era of the apostle.’ (Remark)The 10th chapter of “In the Unknown China” of Yunnan Ethnic Publishing House ” The Arrival of the Miao People” Berkeley Diary.“
The life of faith of Miao after knowing Jesus
Isaiah 9: 1-2 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—The people walking in darkness have seen a great light: on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned
With more than a hundred years of faith of the Miao people, the Spirit of God was with them, and giving them various spiritual songs to enlighten them and guide them. The endless and countless spiritual songs given by the Holy Spirit were all from the revelation of the Bible. The word of truth became praises through the spiritual song became a part of their lives. For example, Lord of heaven and earth, we thank You, to gather in Jerusalem, glorify the coming of Christ, etc.
They are the vineyard of Christ, songs that prepare the coming of the Lord
Between February-March 2009, the Holy Spirit revealed to Xiao Lan to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness by way of prayer and singing. At that time came the passages, “Genesis” 12: 3 , “Isaiah” 49: 8-12 , chapter 65, and out of that the songs of “Ode to Israel” and “New Heaven and New Earth of Messiah” were created. In April the same year, the Miao’s choir brought the songs to the churches, and offered the songs as a living sacrifice to the Lord on Resurrection Sunday. The Holy Spirit said, ” They are the vineyard of Christ, songs to prepare for the Lord’s return.”
They are a people who live to praise and worship God
One day in March 2012, during the early morning prayer, Xiao Lan received a word suddenly. “They are a people who live to praise and worship God.” Out of the amazement of that statement, she completed a very soothing and beautiful song “Psalm” 150 that day. By the leading of the Holy Spirit, she went to Bama, Guangxi and convened the meeting of “The First Western Ethnic Minority living to praise and worship God” During the three day meeting from May 27 to 29. The co-workers were very moved by that gathering, and they all agreed and received their calling to be hidden by God as honorable.
At that time, God also gave them a song “The Heaven declares the Glory of God”.
