Editorial Special Section: Ma Jianming: Calling out the true son of Hong Kong

Korea’s homecoming breaks through the generational wall

Nearly 100 people from Hong Kong attended the “2023 Korea Homecoming Gathering” held in Seoul from February 14-16, along with representatives from other Chinese regions, and stood together with North and South Korea. During the gathering, God renewed His marriage covenant with Korea, and Korea will become the bride of Christ and become one with God. God also broke down the walls and made unity among the different generations in Korea. The Korean culture has a strong class concept, which prevents young people from expressing themselves freely and courageously following God. Korean pastors have come forward to repent of their sins and are willing to walk openly with the younger generation. The next generation has also expressed that they will no longer hide behind their parents, but stand with their fathers and mothers and promise never to leave them until the end. Together they proclaimed that the Korean family is reborn as one in the Holy Spirit.

Editorial Special Section: Krista Elisha: We Are Entering Into a Book of Daniel Season!

Message: CHRISTA ELISHA Date: April 6, 2023   Source: Kingdom Prayer Network

Today, as we enter Passover, I hear the Lord saying that we are entering into a “book of Daniel” season. The name Daniel means “God is Judge,” and He certainly is. He judges anything that is at war with His perfect love for those whom He gave His life for. But for the blameless – those like Daniel, who walk before Him in righteousness – He arises to defend them in their distress, because of their love for Him. When this happens, the nations are forced to see that He alone is the God who shuts the mouths of lions and executes justice against the accuser of the brethren…

Pray for Israel: Israel in Political Crisis – Aftermath

Background of current events: There are only a few days before the Israeli Knesset’s recess in April. The ruling coalition originally planned to sprint to complete the core content of judicial reform this week. The opposition tried and succeeded in raising opposition forces from within the Likud party, the largest party in the ruling coalition, to disintegrate the reforms. Israel experienced a political crisis that almost collapsed the ruling coalition. Decided, “Postpone judicial reform to give real dialogue a chance.” ....Detailed Reading

  • Matthew 12:25  Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
  • Psalm 133:1-3   How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head,  running down on the beard,

    even life forevermore.
  • Ephesians 2:14-17  For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,  by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,  and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.  He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

Editorial Special Section: Papa Nathaniel: Burial Day– Unto Death, Back to Zero, Become One

Info : Nathaniel Chow   Date: April 8, 2023

Yesterday was Good Friday, and tomorrow is Easter. Today I have an innovative holiday called “Burial Day”! (Romans 6:4) “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death”

The biggest difficulty in cooperation and unity is “I”! If we want to be united, we must first deal with the “old self”.

The cross of Jesus Christ causes us to be “crucified, died and buried together” with the Lord. Burial means “total death”!

On the day between Good Friday and Easter, Jesus is in the tomb 24 hours a day. So let’s call today “Burial Day”!

To become one, we must first return to zero. If you want to return to zero, you must first return to death, and you must die completely and be buried!

Let us declare today: Our “old self, flesh, and
world of evil passions and desires” are completely dead and buried!

Brothers and sisters, dear spiritual family, let us bury to death, return to zero, and return to one, so that we can enter into a beautiful and deep unity to enjoy joy and long-term cooperation!

So that the kingdom of God will come, and the will of God will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

Editorial Special Section: The Revival of Taiwan Youth: If I Die, I Die! Live for this moment!

Source : Christian Daily   Date: April 7, 2023

When the revival of Asbury College broke out in the United States, God resounded a shock in the hearts of young people in different places in Taiwan. “If I die, I die!”, “God has done so much for us, so we decided to lay everything down…”, “The thought of Jesus dying for me, I  cannot erase the aches in my heart.”

A young man in Taipei realized that the time for God has come; a group of young people in Tainan responded to “Why Not Us? Why Not Now?” and began to pray, which became the beginning of a series of actions; young pastors who have been traveling across churches in Pingtung for a long time feel deeply that gatherings are no longer for “Unity”, and more importantly, to repent for the faith on “Unity” and truly become “one holy Christian church”.

This feature interviewed several Taiwanese youths who responded to the revival. They were moved and took the initiative . There are people who lead the whole church to worship for several weeks and renew their spiritual lives. Some people have the courage to pray and lead their families to experience God… They are between 25 and 40 years old, and include young pastors, full-time church workers, salespersons, housewives, etc. …all different statuses in life.

【Taipei Area】

Pray for the Revival of Taiwan, Let’s die!

When the Asbury revival broke out in the United States, a young man from Taipei was participating in the Gathering of Nations in South Korea. At that time, he saw a vision related to Taiwan: a huge key fell from the sky and was inserted into the land of Taiwan, and the land was split open. , As if a lock was opened, and then, a big fireball descended on Taiwan.

In the past, he continued to have the burden to pray for “Taiwan’s revival”, as his desire increased and also inspired by current events, he knew that the time had come! After returning to Taiwan, he read “The Book of Esther”. He felt that when Esther faced God’s second call, she decided to fast for three days to see the king. Her attitude was: “If I die, I die!”

God’s challenge is this: Do you really desire revival? Can your life be sacrificed for others? He decided to follow Esther’s example and fasted for three days and three nights. At the same time, he also passed on the burden to young people across Taiwan in groups: “If we die, we die—for Taiwan’s revival, we come to pray!” It touched many people .

God made the way, like a king stretched out his golden rod to Esther

After fasting, he also received revelations one after another. He saw the vision “March 23” – the first day of the first lunar month in the Jewish calendar – which was the day when Israel erected its tabernacle and responded to God’s desire to “live with people” and the day of glory. “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ( Exodus 40:34 ).” Discover that the deepest desire is “Dwell in God and never leave.”

He said, “It’s no longer dependent on superstar speakers, or so much excitement at gatherings, but everyone knows: God Himself is here, and everyone is really looking at Him.”

On the first day of Purim (the 7th), God clearly directed him to find a certain sister to borrow the church from the Tainan “Hongqiao Missionary Society”. Even though he didn’t understand, he still obeyed and found the contact information to call. His experience was like Esther 5:2a, “he  (the king) was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand. “

The sister said that there was no problem with borrowing the venue. After learning about the situation, she was even willing to donate and provided a “dwelling house that can accommodate more than 10 people” for free. The senior pastor of the church also provided sleeping bags and food. At that moment, he was deeply encouraged: “God leads everything!”

Inspired by the “Three 7s”, he launched the “Mobile Tabernacle – 777 Operation Around Taiwan” to prepare for Taiwan’s revival and gather Christians from all over the world. It was ignited in Tainan at 1:11 pm on March 23 (the first day of the first month) and counted. A 24-hour “day and night” prayer and worship operation was carried out for 21 days; the operation is still ongoing.

Following Tainan, it was moved to the “Wuchang Church” in Kaohsiung on March 30, and then at 1:00 pm on April 6, it began to detonate the Shanghai Lions Methodist Church in Pingtung, and the operation will continue until 1:00 pm on the 13th.

What is Missing Now? are “People that are Prepared”

He shared that God always prepared everything for obedience and progress. What is missing? Prepared person (vessel), and he confessed that at the beginning, he worried about “what to do? What else needs to be dealt with…?”, but God asked him to lay down his experience, obey and move to call “the person he wants to contact” That’s it.

So he called from morning to night, sharing what God showed him with everyone, and deeply found that: the Holy Spirit personally touched each other, and both sides were grateful: “We were born for this moment!”

Before leaving, he bid farewell to his mother by foot washing and declared: “I lay down everything and follow Jesus until God’s heart is satisfied and revival pours out in Taiwan. ” , even if every moment is still a tough challenge.

Praying Around the Island before the Operation, God Revealed the “Key”

Before the operation (23rd), he also participated in the prayer walk around the peninsula from 11th to 17th. God revealed the “key” through these 7 days. The itinerary starts from the Eluanbi Lighthouse at the extreme south of Pingtung (the end point of the Central Mountain Range), cuts Taiwan in half like a watermelon, and goes north to the extreme north point of Yilan Wu Yan Jiao (the starting point of the Central Mountain Range).

The Prayer Walk team includes young people from all over Taiwan and middle aged pastors. Humans are originally from the dust, and God calls them to flow their lives like an hourglass and connect with the land humbly during the journey; revelations are also unveiling one by one.

When traveling from Northern point to Hualien, God revealed, if one wants to connect with the land, the most important thing is to examine “one’s body, mind and soul” with the land. Is it a land of thorns? stony ground? Or good soil? God moved the team to give gifts to each other and challenged: “What are you willing to give to each other?”

What God wants the team members to give are not innocuous items. He was inspired to dedicate the “first horn” to the next generation of young people. When he gave it, he was heartbroken and realized that only by giving life can a person become a good soil. Only the land can recognize God’s creation and be willing to connect, and only then can people have the authority to speak to the land.

Follow the Example of Jesus who Sacrificed Himself for All and Activate the Key of Revival

And when everyone longs for unity and alignment, and expresses their willingness to sacrifice themselves with actions, a true connection of life is formed in Christ. The team members hold the erected horn with one heart, and when it turns, it seems to be turning the key inserted in Taiwan. , even with a small group of people, many things start.

When man is willing to deny himself, God can make all things respond to man. Someone once slipped and fell while encountering a boulder rolling down, but without any danger, a tree stretched out like a hand to block it, deeply experiencing the real victory.

Pastor Shao Shengguang, who was with him, said: “(True self-denial) is revival. Because nothing can stop you, because you have died and resurrected.” The final service – laying down your life for all.

【Tainan area】

Jesus Died for Me – From Knowledge to Blowing our Life 

After the revival broke out on February 8th in Asbury, and at the end of the Tainan Panshi Christian Church group on the 17th, the young pastors encouraged them to respond to “Why not us? Why Not now?” and began to pray, which did not stop until after 11:00 p.m. ──It became the beginning of a series of actions, and the fire was ignited.

After (18) days, the spirit of repentance was still moving strongly among the young people. God enlightened a young brother to share that he saw Jesus bearing the cross, shedding blood, giving Himself up for others, and giving everything. He asked Himself, “Then what am I doing?” Having received so much in the past, what can we give to God?

On the afternoon of the Lord’s Day (19th), the young people’s hearts were burning with passion, and they encouraged each other to write personal testimonies. The young brothers even asked, “When shall we start praying?” Others responded , “Now!” What form does it take, but it’s just a rush!

Zhang Jieting said: “Because we can’t erase the ache in our heart. God has done so much for us, so we decided not to care about anything.” Jesus died for me, from head knowledge to blowing our life. It was even decided to hold prayer meetings at church every night from Monday (20th).

They opened a new church, and after people came one after another, they sat in groups of three or four and prayed. Since then, the focus of life began to change.

The Key to Awakening comes from Seeing: I don’t Have It, but I Want It!

In the first two weeks, free gatherings were held regardless of the number of people, and a mobile phone live broadcast was simply set up in response to young people from other places. Jiang Yingying said: “(We) have never prayed like this, so sometimes the whole thing is dry, but as we dig, God’s wonderful work is among us.”

From “encountering a bottleneck” to experiencing “the glory can be brought down without adults”, the presence of God came as they sang : “The Spirit of the true God fills me, I really long for Your presence…” Many people fell to the floor crying.

They experienced a profound conversion. They not only repented of “superficial behavior”, but also saw that “life urgently needs to be cleansed”. Instead of waiting for God to change themselves, Li Manting said: “I need to meet God, and I need real desire in my life.” The key to awakening comes from seeing: “I don’t have it, but I want it!”

Because of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, they also received Psalm 23, the proclamation of the coming of the church’s jubilee (*note), as if they were lying on green pastures spiritually, and were led by God to the still waters; however, the evening prayer meeting on March 3 There are only 3 young people, so it is deeply discovered that more firewood needs to be added and more people are invited to come in. (*Note: Panshi Church will receive the promise of Luke 4:19 “Jubilee” and Psalm 23 in 2023)

But they don’t know how to invite adults, and they don’t know what other young people think. During the gathering on the next (4th) day, the pastor invited young people to the stage and prayed for them. Many people felt the presence of God. After the crowd dispersed, the music of the worshiper did not stop.

God uses Pastors to add Firewood and Inspire Young People to Lead the Worship of the Whole Church

During the Sunday service on March 5, the pastor felt that God’s work was special. He worshiped until one o’clock in the afternoon. He decided to add a prayer meeting in the afternoon and encouraged the young people to lead it. The young people obeyed and did so. Unexpectedly, God’s presence in the afternoon was apparent, so they decided to have another meeting that night.

This is very unusual to every young person. Usually on Sunday afternoon, everyone eats, plays ball, and sleeps. However, Zhang Jieting said: “We were invited to the meeting in the afternoon, we didn’t even want to stop in the evening meeting.” We worshiped for more than 8 hours that day.

Next day (6) to 30th, the young people preside over the prayer and worship of the whole church in the main hall; they feel that the Holy Spirit leads the whole process, and every link seems to have a new breakthrough when the time comes.

Transitioning from an internal youth prayer meeting to a “whole church meeting”, they began to learn how to listen to God’s voice. On the 7th, the pastor decided to accompany them at noon to teach and seek God’s will for the work of the meeting.

The Revival of The Unity of the Two Generations, If You Felt it, Shout It Out!

At noon on the 16th, Jiang Yingying was suppressing the feeling of “it’s about to explode”. She didn’t know what to do. The pastor encouraged her: “Don’t suppress it, just let it explode! Maybe it will bring about changes.”

As a result, they obeyed and prayed, and it would erupt like fire suddenly. The young people began to rend their hearts and cry, and found that God had added a deep desire to their lives, and the meeting that night also brought a higher breakthrough.

They realized that the reason why people could not come before God was “deceit” and “fear”. At night, they led the congregation to call for this, and the adults had a spiritual breakthrough, and they all prayed loudly and earnestly for a long time.

Young people also learn to pray for adults. On the 20th, they broke through the boundaries. The microphone is no longer limited to the hands of young people, but is being passed on. No matter who it is, whoever is on fire then pray it out  bravely.

On the 24th, the young people felt the presence of God’s glory when they were getting ready, and the teacher’s wife saw the veil of the Holy of Holies being torn open in spirit. That night, the congregation entered the Holy of Holies together, and people met God again in their lives.

Zhang Jieting said: “Focus on finishing the (serving) things that needed to be done. Now it is only me and God’s time. I have a feeling: I want it! Since the work of the Holy Spirit has not stopped, why should we stop?” She began to pray with no reservation, and didn’t care what other people thought.

Once the Passive Mentality is Changed, Young People Must Take the Initiative!

Since then, the youth team of the church has changed from the passive mentality of “following the pastor to serve” in previous years. Wang Jiahao said: “Young people must take the initiative!” He also thanked God for raising up many young people in various places, and at the same time for revival.

He said: “I feel that when revival comes, fires will be ignited everywhere; for me, unity will not necessarily mean doing something together physically, but it will enable the fire of revival to be ignited everywhere. So that everyone can invest in the revival, and we will unite with each other in the revival and move forward toward the revival.”

All are Chosen by God, for His Grace is Among Us

Looking at the external conditions of youth revival, in addition to bravery, transcendence and impulsiveness, Zhang Jieting also admitted: “In fact, for things to turn out like this, it didn’t happen all of a sudden. I think it is an accumulation, whether it is spiritually, intellectually or The accumulation of skills…in fact, it was all prepared by God long ago.”

It is the 12th year of singing, going out to practice, and accompanied by the pastor. She said: “When things like this (revival) come up, there will be a lot of adults, foreign church friends saying you are awesome, you are hot… really awesome, the meeting was great, but we found that all we can say is only to thank God…

We know very well that none of this is something we can do. Whether it is revelation or eager desire, we do not have these things. If God hadn’t lead us and put the zeal in us, we would still be ordinary young people. . . . His grace in us to accomplish everything. “

“Pingtung GMI City Gospel Church” Minister Wei Yuzhen, who belongs to the Rukai ethnic group in Maolin area of ​​Pingtung. Young people, when they gather together in oneness, they have a deeper understanding – repent!

Wei Yuzhen said: “Without repentance, there is really no way to become a member of Jesus.”

Since the revival of Asbury College, the atmosphere of worship and prayer among young people has become more and more intense. Therefore, we can see that changes are taking place. Many first-generation Christian youths have begun to have the courage to directly pray for their families and lead them to experience God .

A brother prayed whenever he had a high fever, and the fever subsided. He also prayed all the way when his mother was diagnosed with Covid, and her mother was healed; He prayed for 3,4 people that he didn’t dare to pray for before, but as he responded and his life changed, especially in the area of relationships with families.”

The Core of Unity is Repentance! We ‘Need Each Other’ to Lead Revival

Wei Yuzhen believes that the core of repentance is: to break the spirit of all religions, so that the body of Jesus Christ can be one, and not only “to be one”, but also to have the confidence to “be one”.

With her personal testimony, she explained the will of God the Father. When she was trying to unite with other churches, she could not help but judge in her heart: “Is this church good? Does the other party really have God’s leadership?” Once, while playing the piano, she thought, “Are these young people really repenting? ”

God led her to say: “Why can’t you read ‘They are a group of children who love me’?” This sentence touched her immediately, and tears flowed down immediately.

God encouraged her to see that everyone is actually trying hard to love God, even though the performance is not as she imagined, but everyone is responding to God, and God’s work is on everyone; last year God also began to open the door, respond The couple’s desire to return to the tribe and accompany the aboriginal church.

She felt amazing, she didn’t look for it specially, the mother church would find them separately, hoping that they would go back to help the young people in the church; the spirit of repentance was running, and the relationship between the churches deepened. She said: “Now the church is really not shepherding alone, but We need each other to lead this land back!”

Editorial Special Section: Father Anton: God will use children to bring “fire” into the home

Info : Anton Cruz   Date: April 6, 2023 Excerpted from: Christian Daily

This wave of revival will “happen from the children”. Soon, God will use the children to bring “fire” into their homes, and their homes will be saved because of these children!

I am your Father and you are My children

During worship before the meeting, God said to Father Anton: “Where are your sons and daughters? Where are the young people?” He said to God:” God, today bring the best, those You have chosen.”

Then a voice kept coming into him, and God said to him, ” I am a Father and I love My children. Where are My children? Where are My young people? I want to see their faces… “

After the worship service, before the conference starts the pastor’s wife of Kaohsiung Joel Bread of Spirit Church invited the children and teenagers to come to the stage to receive the blessing and prayer from Father Anton. In that instant,

Father Anton knew that God had answered his prayer in the pre-conference worship – these children were chosen.

In the past, Father Anton often prayed for many children, when they were still very young; but after 15 or 18 years, they are now “on fire”. He prophesied that such anointing would also come to Joel Bread of Spirit Church. In the future, everyone will see that all the children and teenagers who are being prayed at the scene will be “carried with fire”.

Our sons and daughters are to begin to be “fathers and mothers”

Father Anton pointed out that from the group of children at the scene, he saw that this wave of revival will “happen from the children”. Soon, God will use the children to bring “fire” into their homes. Your family will be saved because of these children. 

He saw that something was going to happen, it was the power of God, because of this group of “children of the younger generation”, “Taiwan” would be changed, “Kaohsiung” would be changed.

The Transformation of a Little Girl – A True Revival

In the ministry of Father Anton, there is a little girl in the first grade. Whenever Father Anton said to her: “Jesus is the Father, He loves you.” She always replied: “I don’t want God to be my father.”

When Father Anton asked her: “Can you pray for your father?” She said: “I can’t pray for my father, and I wish I could kill him…”

Inside the little girl, there is a great resentment towards her father. Because her father was a murderer, and an alcoholic, and beat her every day. So, she didn’t want this dad at all.

Therefore, everyone can only continue to pray for her. One day, when she received the Holy Spirit, she began to cry. “I’m willing to forgive my dad, I love my dad,” she said.

Father Anton emphasized that this transformation of the little girl is a “true revival”.

Then, Father Anton asked the little girl to go home. In the past, she always didn’t want to go home because she was afraid of her father; but during that Christmas break, she went home. After the holidays, her dad came to see her.

Usually, the little girl is very afraid of her father, as soon as she sees him walking in, she will run away immediately. But on that day, she actually walked towards her father , her father became very afaid of her.

The little girl had never confronted her father directly or spoken to him before. In the past, she always said that she “hated dad very much” or “wanted to kill dad”.

But at that time, she said to her father, “Daddy, Jesus loves you.” Even more incredible, she also said, “Daddy, I pray for you.” This shocked her father.

She didn’t wait for her father’s reply at all, and immediately laid her hands on his head. She prayed: “Jesus, I love my father, and I know that You love him too. Please speak to him and let him stop hitting me, and don’t beat my mother. You don’t want him to drink anymore, and you don’t want him to go to prison again…”

When she finished praying, her father was shocked and cried, and the little girl went to hug him, and he held his daughter; just one hug, and he was completely changed.

The little girl asked her father if she wanted to see Jesus, and he said yes. She was like a pastor praying for people, and she continued to lay hands on her father and prayed for him, and he was completely healed, no longer drinking, no longer being violent, no more resentment.

The little girl took her father by the hand and went to the pastor and said, “Pastor, my father has completely changed, and he wants to accept Jesus, wants to be baptized.”

As a result, her father was baptized, and finally all seven members of the family were baptized . This family has such a transformation only because of a little girl “she has the heart of being a father and a mother”.

Father Anton’s prayer over the children

Jesus, I see something is going to happen, I see these children are a great gift, a gift of love.

They have the gift of love, forgiveness, healing, salvation, and they will bring that salvation to their families for years to come. If anyone in their family is unsaved, these children will bring those unbelieving family members to Jesus. I release such an anointing to these children.

I pray that in 10, 15 years, these kids will start ministering to kids, young people. This group of young people wants to see visions and dream dreams. They have the gifts of healing, dream interpretation, intercession, and worship. I release this anointing upon this group of children.

Children, I want to pray for you now, to receive “power” and “father’s heart”. If you have not received the love of your father in the past, I want to pray for you, you will be fully healed now, and you will also heal “your parents”.

Children, come to receive the “heart of fatherhood”, you must “receive the ‘father’s love'” and “receive the ‘gift of restoration'”.

Heavenly Father, I pray for this group of children, they will be a great blessing to the family. I want to release the “fire of intercession” to these children, and I want to release these children to become “intercessors” and “worshipers”.

In the name of Jesus, I pray that this group of children will go to different cities to release the anointing.

I saw the presence of God, the power of the Holy Spirit. Soon, in the name of Jesus, they will see angels in their sleep, and Jesus will come into their room to bless these children. I pray that these children will receive visions, dreams, angels will come, they will see angels. In the name of Jesus, amen!

At this hour, God is answering the fervent prayers of many parents for their children in the past – the time is coming, your children, to receive the fire. Your fire will come upon your children, and they will be more anointed than you. Your children will be more capable than you, because God will use your children.

The prayers and cries of many parents today are not to worry about their children’s future, but to ask their children to “walk with God.” As long as his children pray for his country, he will feel very honored.

And the moment is coming when His sons and daughters are going to pick up the microphone and start praying for people, unleashing that “healing power,” unleashing that “revelatory anointing,” dancing, worshiping, and before God”.

If the prayer in your heart is to make your children become prayers, worshipers, and family walkers with God, then God will answer your prayer today – when revival comes, many young people will run to God,  yes Your children are to be at the forefront. Something is going to happen, a power is going to come to the children, they are going to be powerful, they are going to have gifts of healing, prophecy, deliverance, seeing visions and speaking different languages.

Revival is coming, through the “young generation”, the “next generation”. So, at this moment, to release our next generation, they have to become “father and mother”.

God needs our next generation, and He needs young people. Soon, we will see in the church that the halls of the church are full of young people, but the adults of the whole church are standing outside; because, in the hall, it is full of children and young people, and their worship is very powerful and anointed.

Young People begin to Cry Out for “Holiness”

Young people began to call for “holiness”. In worship and intercession, there is only one word for “holiness”. Father Anton sees this power coming to the next generation and young people; he prays for the children and teenagers, they will abandon those sinful addictions, and they will be fully healed, forgiven, and released, and weep for the revival beg.

The younger generation, to be completely free, set free from the past generations, those curses in the family will be completely broken. All the curses were broken, the children were set free, and the healing came to the children. Their children will also be completely healed, completely free, free from anxiety and depression.

Not “Children’s Problem”, but “Adult’s Problem”

When “the child has a problem”, it is actually not “the child’s own problem”, but “the adult’s problem”, and it is “the adult’s problem is coming to his next generation”. In fact, children’s problems come from the anxiety and frustration of their parents. Their problems come from their parents’ family, and many problems in the family are not today’s problems, but because your parents were idol worshipers in the past, or had problems such as alcoholism and fornication. If you ask God for forgiveness, God will come to forgive your parents and ancestors, and there are many curses and bondages, God will come to release and forgive.

God is about to Heal ” Two Generations “

In this moment of revival, as we pray for the “next generation,” God is about to heal “ two generations ,” both the “parent” generation and the “children” generation.”

Pray for Forgiveness of the “Generations Past”

God, please forgive my family, my grandparents, they don’t know what they have done, but they are completely against your holiness. Today I ask Your forgiveness, forgive my past generations, today I will release my children.

Holy, my children will be holy children, children of God. Today, I am happy and love to release them. They are no longer cursed or bondage; my children no longer carry the things of past generations, and now they are in the holy presence of God.

I see “the power of the Holy Spirit”, “the power of holiness” come upon my children and they are completely healed. My kids are very rebellious and never listen to me, but today I saw something happen, I saw the power of the Holy Spirit, my son, my daughter changed.

I see power coming out of my hand, because of the blood of Jesus, I’m healed, I’m holy. Now, I release this anointing, and through MY hands, the anointing is released upon MY children.

In the name of the Lord Jesus, I and my entire family are now completely safe and completely saved. In the name of Jesus, my family and I are completely healed and completely set free. In the name of Jesus, amen!

Editorial Special Section: Ma Jianming: Calling out the true son of Hong Kong

Source: Kingdom Revival Times (Hong Kong)  Date: March 3, 2023 

Korea’s homecoming breaks through the generational wall

Nearly 100 people from Hong Kong attended the “2023 Korea Homecoming Gathering” held in Seoul from February 14-16, along with representatives from other Chinese regions, and stood together with North and South Korea. During the gathering, God renewed His marriage covenant with Korea, and Korea will become the bride of Christ and become one with God. God also broke down the walls and made unity among the different generations in Korea. The Korean culture has a strong class concept, which prevents young people from expressing themselves freely and courageously following God. Korean pastors have come forward to repent of their sins and are willing to walk openly with the younger generation. The next generation has also expressed that they will no longer hide behind their parents, but stand with their fathers and mothers and promise never to leave them until the end. Together they proclaimed that the Korean family is reborn as one in the Holy Spirit.

Receiving the true sonship

During the meeting, Pastor Kenneth Ma of Hong Kong shared his journey of 22 years of walking home and the recent turning of his heart to receive his true sonship. Having held seven Homecoming Gatherings in Hong Kong over the past 10 years, Ma laughed at the idea that the Homecoming Gathering is a movement that brings “trouble” to senior pastors. For many years he pastored an evangelical church that was doing well and growing, and his future looked bright until 22 years ago when he met David Demian, and his life turned around dramatically.

Demian brought us to the meeting, but there was no speaker, no notes. I asked him if there was any guidance to follow. He said no, we would discern what the Holy Spirit was doing. My church does not speak of the Holy Spirit, He only speaks through the Bible. One night, when I was driving Coronation to the airport and waiting to board the plane, we went for coffee and he looked me in the eye and said, “The Lord is angry with you. I didn’t want God to be angry with me. I wanted to run away and not stand where God wanted me to stand. After that night, because I was afraid, I said yes, go ahead. But I had a lot of questions in my mind. I felt very ineffective in all the gatherings, worshiping, dancing, and doing prophetic acts. But after a journey of more than 20 years, I can now say that it has had a great impact and influence.

 God has used homecoming gatherings to open doors in almost every country. The core value of homecoming is total obedience to the Holy Spirit. Many times Coronation has asked me, “What do you discern? What does the Holy Spirit say to you? I am an evangelical pastor and I rarely hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. He kept asking me for a year, two years, five years. I said no. He kept asking me. He kept asking me. All the time of discernment was training time, all the time of gathering was discipleship time. God used him to disciple the nations and to prepare a resting place for God. I didn’t understand it before, but my heart was longing, not only for revival, but for God to stay and not leave again. I learned a lot on my journey home. It was a journey of the heart, and God transformed my heart from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh. I cried a lot because I met Jesus and heard the Holy Spirit speak in my ear. All the theories I knew in the past didn’t satisfy me, but the intimacy of God satisfied my heart, and the connection to my family in the nations satisfied my heart. As my heart turns back to align with Dei Coronel and Zhao Zhongquan, we are able to inherit the property they received from God and pass it on to the next generation.


Many years ago, when I met David Demain, I thought he was an angel because I didn’t understand what he was saying, and he seemed so pure. Until recently, I found out that he was not my brother, he was my father. I realized that without him, I would not be who I am now. I might still be an evangelical pastor with a great church, but I would never have met such a wonderful family in the Kingdom and satisfied my Father’s heart to prepare a resting place for God. If you were to give me the choice again, I would say that I wish I had met them earlier and started this journey earlier.

From Pastor to Son

In an interview, Pastor Kenneth Ma shared that a true son is a state of the heart, not an expression of appearance, behavior, title, or position. In Luke 15, although the older son was often with his father, he was not a true son because he did not understand his father’s heart; the younger son left his father and wasted his money, but when he went to a desperate situation, he remembered his father, realized he was a son, and returned to him. So it is not a matter of distance or proximity, but a change in the state of the heart. The true son understands his father’s heart and chooses to align himself with him, just like Elijah and Elisha. When he understands his father’s heart more, and then chooses to embrace and accept him and love him, this is the true son.

“For me, I don’t know how to be a son because I am an orphan. I don’t call Tai Coronation and Zhao Zhongquan my dad, not because they’re not, but because my heart wasn’t ready and I didn’t wake up until I was healed.

Last year, Ma spent six months in Vancouver, a place he didn’t want to return to because 12 years ago, when he was in Vancouver, it was the worst time for him to have a relationship with the church, the most conflict, and the time his sister left. “But this time, I was healed by my father’s family. I no longer knew them from meetings, but the brothers and sisters in the church appreciated our past contributions and took the initiative to honor and love us. The brothers and sisters in the church appreciated our past contributions and took the initiative to honor and love us. Zhao’s parents treated us as their children, cooked for us, and gave us dali for Chinese New Year. When Ma’s heart was healed, he looked at his family peers differently, noting that it was not a question of his home in Hong Kong, but whether his heart was prepared.


My change was an awakening. I didn’t plan to call Coronation Dad on the stage at the Korean gathering, but when my heart changed, what I said was not the most important thing, so naturally, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I called him Dad publicly.

Embracing the next generation and becoming a father

Pastor Ken Ma of Hong Kong has been close to Coronation on his journey home, but Ma sees them as nothing more than brothers and close friends, and Ma is committed to walking with Coronation to help him fulfill the vision he received from God, just as David’s warriors did.

“My commitment to David is that I will do everything in my power to help him, such as 7 trips home to Hong Kong and 10 trips to China. When the 7th Hong Kong homecoming is completed in 2019, I think God’s heavenly mission for me and my promise to Dad has been fulfilled. But for this home in Hong Kong, it is another thing that needs my heart to embrace and understand.”

“I don’t take anything for granted, for example, after organizing the Hong Kong homecoming, there is a group of brothers and sisters who form the Hong Kong family, then I should do the role of a father and walk with them, and many people expect me to have this role naturally. But I know that if my heart is not turned, it is difficult for me to stand in this position just because of other people’s expectations. There was a part of my heart that was frozen until last year when I came back from Vancouver and my heart started to thaw and I first recognized Coronation as my father. When I was a real son, I could be a real father again, and that was a very special experience for me.


For this Korea homecoming, we held a preparatory meeting in Hong Kong. I seldom attend Hong Kong family gatherings, but this time I wanted to have such a gathering. When I got there, many young people came up to me and said, “I was very moved to see you there. When the young people said that, I was touched too. This is a change of heart, and I am not here because of other people’s expectations. Now I feel that these are God’s spiritual children for Hong Kong, and we can’t just let them stray.

Ma also shared that the most important thing as parents is not to ask the next generation to fulfill our dreams that we cannot accomplish, but to clarify with the next generation whether their dreams come from God. If they are from God, they should give them great freedom and help them fulfill God’s dreams in their lives.

From ministry to resting place


About the resting place

Thus says the LORD, “The heavens are my seat; the earth is my footstool. What kind of temple will you build for me? Where is my resting place?” (Isa 66:1)

Since the Garden of Eden, God has been looking for a place of rest, a place of fellowship among men. The tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple at Solomon are shadows of God’s great plan. The Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands, but in temples made of living stones, which are suitable for contact through Christ. (Eph 2:19-22) Haggai prophesied about this “latter” temple, the Church of Jesus Christ, saying that the glory of this temple would be greater than the glory of Solomon’s temple (Acts 2:9).

Regarding how Hong Kong is preparing a resting place for God, Ma pointed out that now Hong Kong is entering a new season in which the Hong Kong family is to build true relationships – true son and parent relationships. Only this relationship of mutual trust and alignment can help us build the great work God wants us to build on it.

  • First, authentic relationships can be built, not necessarily through meetings, but also through life. In Hong Kong, this is the hardest thing. It may be easier for us to participate in a three-hour gathering, but it is actually more difficult to live together.
  • Second, a family should not have so many walls separating them. Each of our leaders brings a group of young people with them, but we form a family and all of us are walking together, these walls need to be taken away.
  • Third, the motivation needs to go back to the simplest, which is to prepare a place of rest for God. We seek God together to see how we can prepare ourselves to fulfill this heart’s desire. As we seek in this way, God will continue to send new revelations. As we prepare, God will unveil the veil and we will know what to do next.
  • Fourth, Asia is growing fast, and God has used the Chinese so much in the past, and we have been through so many difficult things and shocks, and I think in the next few years, God is giving us a break to walk with and support other Asian nations, so that we can discover more deeply who Hong Kong is and build strong ties with each other again.

Editorial Special Section: Krista Elisha: We Are Entering Into a Book of Daniel Season!

Message: CHRISTA ELISHA Date: April 6, 2023   Source: Kingdom Prayer Network

Today, as we enter Passover, I hear the Lord saying that we are entering into a “book of Daniel” season. The name Daniel means “God is Judge,” and He certainly is. He judges anything that is at war with His perfect love for those whom He gave His life for. But for the blameless – those like Daniel, who walk before Him in righteousness – He arises to defend them in their distress, because of their love for Him. When this happens, the nations are forced to see that He alone is the God who shuts the mouths of lions and executes justice against the accuser of the brethren…

Last week, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, saying, “The writing is on the wall. Those operating in alignment with the spirit of Nebuchadnezzar, who have touched My anointed vessels and have defiled My house, have been warned. Their downfall draws nigh, for now is the acceptable year of My favor to those who will receive My correction and vengeance against My enemies.”

There is coming an unprecedented JUSTICE against wickedness. With this release of supernatural justice, there will be a wave of the fear of the Lord and a massive release of JUSTIFICATION – not only justification for those who have been falsely accused, but also, by faith in the Blood of Jesus, justification for those who have come out from among the unrighteous. Watch for the prideful who once warred against the saints and God’s righteousness to have sudden encounters that change them overnight.

As the Lord is balancing the unjust scales in courts and culture, we will see the scales of perversion, witchcraft, rebellion and religion being removed from the spiritual eyes of our nation so that people can rightly see Jesus in ALL power, ALL authority, ALL justice, and receive Him AS LORD (MASTER) and SAVIOR, who has dominion over everything in the created order.

With this harvest of justice leading the lost into righteousness (or right standing with God), we must pray that fivefold TEACHERS WILL ARISE to disciple the new converts in the way and the Word of God which is “right for us” to live, and to represent Jesus.

Pray with me:

Lord, You are Master and Creator of everything in the heavens and on the earth! We honor You and praise You for being the perfect Judge of all! Your judgements are righteous and lead us away from destruction. We receive You as LORD of our lives and give You permission to expose anything in us that is at war with Your standards. Show us where we have cheated or wronged our neighbor and we will quickly repent.

We love Your justice, and we commit to love, mercy and walking humbly with You, heavenly Father.

God, we thank You for this season of justice and ask You to bring millions of souls into justification through Your Son, Jesus, by faith, by grace, and for Your glory! We release Your gavel, Your rod and Your heel to crush the head of the wicked one!

We ask that not one whom You have purposed to be Yours would be led astray by false gospels, false teachings or false prophets. We call the fivefold teachers of the Word of God to come forth in power, anointed wisdom, knowledge and authority to instruct Your people in Your righteous way, which is the right way we should live and represent Your Kingdom. Father, we ask that each new convert would be placed in the right spiritual family in order to be cared for and taught how to follow You, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Pray for America: Finding the Voice of the American Church

Editor’s Note: This article is a post of “Give Him 15 Minutes” on March 22 this week.

【Background: Today’s post is a little strong. The following few paragraphs contain an overview of God’s plan for humankind and the earth. It also includes satan’s plan and attempts to thwart God’s intentions. It ends, however, with a challenge to the American church. Where most of you are concerned, I’m preaching to the choir. But you can help me pray, and you can help circulate the post.

God and Government

The concept of government is first introduced to us in Genesis 1:26-28, when Yahweh assigned the responsibility of governing the earth and all it contains to Adam – humankind. Yahweh’s Kingdom (which means “the domain of a King”) includes all creation, everywhere – heaven, the heavens, earth, and hell. He rules over all. He assigned the governing of this colony of His Kingdom, the earth, to us humans.

Government/authority flows from God – from His nature, the essence of who He is. He IS the King, the Lawgiver, and Judge (Isaiah 33:22). And His laws, precepts, guidelines, etc, are based on love and truth, righteousness and justice (the foundations of His throne – Psalm 89:14). Truth is not something God has to think about or consider; He IS truth (Isaiah 65:16; John 14:6). He doesn’t try to love; He IS love (1 John 4:16). He governs from who He is!

He Releases His Will Through Family and Delegated Government

The authority to govern/rule Earth was delegated by Him. The story of the Bible is that: 1) God added a family to His Kingdom, created an amazing home for them – earth – and 2) delegated His rule/government of this home to His family. This government/authority was to be exercised according to His nature, ways, will, and truth – at every level: personal, home, family, cities, and nations. God’s design is that ALL government be a conduit of His truth, righteousness, ways, will, and love.

We know this plan was interrupted at the Fall. Satan stole God’s family temporarily, and with it came the dominion/rule of their home. The story of Scripture then became how God would redeem and restore these two things. The war on earth is over family and government: who will own the people, and who will rule the earth?

Jesus, of course, was God’s answer. He made it possible for all people to become part of God’s family again and recovered Adam’s/our lost authority for us. But satan is a thief and usurper. He still attempts to rule people and places, using humankind’s ignorance, sin, and rejection of Christ. Believing and receiving the gospel removes us from satan’s authority and back into God’s family. The understanding of and exercising Christ’s authority/government in our lives enforces our freedom from satan’s authority.

As Christ’s family, and having been delegated His authority, we are also called and privileged to extend His redemption and freedom to others. We do so, not by demanding or dictating, but by proclaiming His gospel, declaring His truth, and binding satanic/demonic schemes, plans, and actions. As the power of Holy Spirit is released from us, it opens people’s eyes to the gospel and God’s truth, allowing them to believe in Christ. This allows even their land, possessions, livelihoods, cities, and nations to also be freed from satan’s government/authority/rule (see Deuteronomy 28).

The Scriptures Are All about Government

As one of the two primary issues on earth, it is logical that “government” would be one of Scripture’s dominant themes. It is mentioned extensively throughout the Bible. Earthly “kingdoms” are spoken of 36 times, and earthly “kings” are spoken of 108 times. “Rule” or “ruler” is mentioned 155 times, God is mentioned as “Lord” thousands of times, and His “kingdom” more than 80 times. There are other governmental terms we could list, such as dominion, authority, govern, leader, etc., which are used dozens of times. Suffice it to say, God is government, the source of government, and releases His will and ways through delegated governing authority – at every level.

The Church Ignores It

AND YET…many in the church think the government is to be ignored. “Get people saved,” they say, “but issues of government don’t belong in the church. Well, we should pray for it [which most don’t], but don’t talk about it, make a stand regarding it, or try to influence it.” Getting a church to take time in a service for more than a perfunctory prayer or mention of government, elections, laws, etc., is like trying to raise the dead. Getting pastors to make a public stand on BIBLICAL issues being decided on by the government, such as life, marriage, gender, sexual sin, and more, is even harder. The church doesn’t acknowledge the overwhelming amount of Scripture involving government, preferring to ignore it. And it conveniently hides behind manmade laws.

Many pastors actually disagree with portions of God’s Word; others are ashamed or embarrassed by parts of it, and still, others are simply ruled by the fear of man. Therefore, most believers are ignorant of God’s word. Pastors need not be mean-spirited or condemning to preach and teach truth regarding these and other issues. It can and should be done with grace, mercy, and love. But truth must be taught; it is God’s Word.

America In Crisis

As a result of not doing so, America hangs in the balance of life or death. In a recent Fox News interview, (1) Newt Gingrich issued a wake-up call. Referencing the meetings this week between Putin and Xi – while the Biden administration, which he compared to a “situation comedy,” ignores them and downplays any significance – Gingrich said that in his opinion, “This is the most dangerous time in our history since Washington crossed the Delaware Christmas night in 1776…This is not a game. The threat to our civilization is so great that we really need a dramatic change.”

Mr. Gingrich also said, “Xi gave four different speeches to his people last week on preparing for war. People should take him seriously and understand how determined, how aggressive, and how competent Xi is.” He compared Xi and Putin to “the Axis powers of Italy, Germany, and Japan in the 1930s that wanted to take on Democracies. Unlike in the 30s, we have a President that is dedicated to weakness, dedicated to confusion…America is in an enormous crisis, with a news media that doesn’t want to cover the truth. This is the moment when America truly is what Mao called America “a paper tiger.” It’s a very sobering and very frightening moment in American history.”

The church might want to find her voice.

I’ve said before that regardless of the overall church’s abdication, God will save America through a remnant. I truly believe this. But I also believe this could have occurred much more quickly – and still could be sped up – had a larger percentage of the church been praying and taking action. And the pain we are experiencing, and will for two more years, could be substantially less. To those of you who are praying – thank you! Please persevere.

Pray for Israel: Israel in Political Crisis – Aftermath

Background of current events: There are only a few days before the Israeli Knesset’s recess in April. The ruling coalition originally planned to sprint to complete the core content of judicial reform this week. The opposition tried and succeeded in raising opposition forces from within the Likud party, the largest party in the ruling coalition, to disintegrate the reforms. Israel experienced a political crisis that almost collapsed the ruling coalition. Decided, “Postpone judicial reform to give real dialogue a chance.”

Political Crisis Ignited the Fuse 

  • Led by Congressional Opposition Leader Lapid, more than 100,000 people protested against judicial reforms in front of the Capitol in Jerusalem. Protesters in Jerusalem also broke through the police line and scuffled with the police outside Netanyahu’s private residence in Jerusalem.
  • In addition, thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv’s main square and blocked a road. The crowd is expected to increase to 150,000 by 8:00 pm. At the same time, the religious Zionist right-wing party in the ruling coalition also called for support for the judiciary. Reformed right-wingers gathered in Jerusalem at night to express their demands.
  •  Early in the morning, Histadrut, the country’s largest trade union with 700,000 members, called for a nationwide strike. Airports, ports, shopping malls, food chains, high-tech companies, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and other venues are closed. The hospital only accepts emergencies. From kindergartens to elementary schools, middle schools, and universities, all classes are suspended.
  • Large-scale demonstrations, marches, riots, and strikes on Sunday night and Monday (3/27). Even on suspending or continuing the judicial reform process, the ruling coalition had disagreements and some members threatened to withdraw from the government, which once endangered the survival of the coalition.
  • After 8:00 pm on Monday (3/27), Prime Minister Netanyahu announced the suspension of judicial reform, citing the judgment of Solomon saving the baby in the third chapter of Kings of the Bible as an example of the need to maintain the unity of the people.

The spark that sparked the deep crisis was ostensibly the prime minister’s firing of the defense minister on Sunday night.

Why Secretary of Defense Garland was Fired (timeline)

  • Protesters against judicial reform last Thursday (3/23) designated the day as “Paralysis Day.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was scheduled to leave for the UK in the evening. Without the Prime Minister’s prior knowledge, Defense Minister Garland’s office announced that it would hold a televised press conference in the evening, calling on the government to stop the judicial reform, but was blocked by Netanyahu. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement that night, saying, “Judicial reform will continue and will be voted on in Parliament next week, calling for unity. Judicial reform will restore the proper balance between the authorities and, on the other hand, ensure that the country has the individual rights of every citizen.”
  • On the evening of Saturday (3/25), just after the Sabbath day in Israel time, Defense Minister Garland once again publicly called on the ruling coalition to suspend judicial reform, which caught Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in London by surprise. Due to observing Sabbath, he could not make a statement then.
  • On the evening of Sunday (3/26), Prime Minister Netanyahu, who returned to Jerusalem, fired Minister of Defense Garland.

Like a broken tooth or a lame foot  is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble. (Proverbs 25:19)

Opposition Forces Netanyahu to Step Down

CBN Middle East analyst John Varji said the massive demonstrations were not aimed at judicial reform, which we would see before the Nov. 1 election. (Judicial reform was a key campaign promise on the right.) But what is that for? It’s about Netanyahu and getting him out, and the people who are against him are now saying, we have to get him out. Whatever alliance we (the opposition) form, we must get him out! Removing Netanyahu is the core issue.”

JNS Jerusalem Affairs Director Alex Traiman also said that it all started with the first fifth elections three and a half years ago. The opposition is trying to prevent Netanyahu from becoming prime minister anyway. He even cut corners to divide his own right-wing camp, just like Bennett in the previous fourth election and Garland, the Minister of Defense this time.

Amir al-Zarfadi, an Israeli expert on the Middle East, explained: “So we will definitely see some things escalate, and certainly, 100 percent, the attempt here is to dismantle the Netanyahu government and put the left in the Supreme Court. Under the immunity granted.”

Judicial Reform Angers Powerful Interest Groups

Powerful interest groups want to maintain the power of the Supreme Court, which is widely believed to be unmatched by any other democracy, according to Zarfadi.

Israel went through a judicial revolution in the last 25, 30 years ago. All the right has to do is reverse it and bring it back to what it was before because there is no country on earth that has as much power as the Supreme Court of Israel, backed by billionaires, bosses of big corporations, big Tech companies, bank bosses, etc.

Surprisingly Well-funded Protests

Throughout 2023, the opposition protests will be attended by a large number of people, and their funds will be unprecedentedly sufficient, Charfati said. Funding on this scale is state-level, with countries, billionaires and bank bosses involved. This is not for ordinary people.

Alex Traiman also mentioned in a Zoom meeting on Monday that in the past thirteen weeks, the organizers of the demonstrations on the stage – (NGO) high-quality government movement, their public information shows that they receive 300 million US dollars a year from the US State Department and other agencies. education fund.

Ancient Judah-Israel Controversy Revisited

The crisis has thrust Israel into what many consider to be one of the most dangerous periods since the Yom Kippur War 50 years ago. What is especially deadly is that it stems from and aggravates internal conflicts and contradictions.

Pastor Asher of Tolkien Israel said that the spiritual roots of this conflict can be traced back to the war between Judah and Israel 3,000 years ago. The current political conflict is touching the hearts of the Israeli people in a profound way. 

David Friedman, the U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Trump presidency, also wrote an article a few days ago, saying that judicial reform has triggered a strong view on a larger and more fundamental issue. What does it mean to be a Jewish state? How did the Israelites see themselves, their Jewishness? And what is the core meaning of being a Jewish state?

A great storm has subsided temporarily. In ten days, Israel will enter the Passover festival. Where is the Lamb who redeemed Israel? Who is the Lamb of God?

  • Then, Now: Shamil wonders how his grandfather Zaurbek felt when he was exiled. Zurbeck lived in the village of Akkin until 1944, the year the Soviet secret police (KGB) accused the villagers of collaborating with the German Nazi Party. The villagers of Zuerbek’s entire village, together with people from dozens of other villages, were exiled to Central Asia, where they lived on meager food rations for more than ten years. When they returned home, the land in the village had already been occupied by others. Many Akin families, including Zurbek, tried to get their property back, but many chose to give up and move to nearby towns to start over. Zurbek died before his grandson was born, leaving only the tale of resentment over the loss of his ancestral land to his grandson Shamir. Today, many Akin families are still struggling to make ends meet, and Shamir sees no hope for the future of his people. Devout Muslims are constantly urging Shamir to support their rebellion against the secular government, and he wonders if this is the way to go if he is to seek justice for his people? Actually, Shamir has never been very religious, but he is very proud to be an Ajinian.

  • Then, Now: Husenil lived in a village in the Caucasus Mountains in southern Russia. There is almost no arable land in this deep forest; fortunately, there are still ancient terraced fields and irrigation channel systems. Husenil and the same village Neighbors were able to use what little arable land they had to grow wheat and rice. The Husseinirs are Avars, they are the largest ethnolinguistic group in the area, and they are also the most powerful ethnic group in history. Both the Husseinirs and the Avars are proud, insisting that they are strong, autonomous climbers who can master the alpine woodlands.
    When it came time to defend his honor, Husseinir was fierce and zealous. However, this cultural concept of honor and shame often leads the Awal community into an intense cycle of violence and revenge. They often suffer humiliation from social exclusion, economic retaliation, and even violent attacks. Although Husseinir has escaped much violence so far, he is well aware that even a small quarrel can quickly escalate into bloodshed.

  • Then, Now: Standing on a high rock-walled canyon, Fazen admires the mountains surrounding his home village, whose soaring peaks separate the brave and calm villagers from the world. The mountains harbor some of the world’s largest glaciers, feeding fast-moving snowwater into narrow valleys; Fazan and his villagers use an intricate network of muddy water channels to use the torrents of meltwater to irrigate terraced fields on the hillsides. Although towering peaks, deep canyons and expansive glaciers have isolated Kohistan for generations, much has changed since the Karakoram Highway was completed in 1979. This highway connecting southern Pakistan and China has made it easier for Farzan compatriots to get in touch with modern goods, bringing them more ideas, and allowing more outside ethnic groups to know Kohistan people. Today, the children of the village seem uninterested in the Kohistan language and traditions; as Farzan watches his children embrace mainstream Pakistani culture, he feels powerless, as if defeated by external forces that threaten their identity. .

Although its national strength is now weak, power is still ruled by the royal family. This independent kingdom and dynasty has a long history.

The rest (like Aminatu) were called “haratin” (Black Moors), and many of them were born slaves. Mauritania, located on the edge of West Africa, has the highest proportion of slaves in the world. The government officially abolished slavery in 1981 and criminalized slavery in 2007. However, due to the lack of strong law enforcement, the bad habits of hundreds of years are still the same. The Black Moors were descendants of enslaved sub-Saharan tribes, and as slaves adapted to the White Moorish language and culture, an unhealthy class system developed that intertwined Black and White Moorish clan life. The roles of slave and master are so ingrained in the culture that they survive in society to this day.

It is said that Arab merchants and spice merchants brought Islam into Kerala and built the first mosque in South Asia. For centuries, the Mabula people have become rich through the spice trade.

They preached that as long as Mabula If one abides by the Qur’anic way of life, all prosperity and prosperity will return. Rajab is very grateful that this reform movement has brought changes to Mabula society and brought success to his compatriots. Today, other Indian Muslims look to the Mabulas as models of prosperity and spiritual benchmarks.

To this day, the Afar are known for their bravery and ruthlessness on the battlefield. As nomads, Afar families like the Kalila travel through one of the world’s most infertile regions, struggling to survive the heat and drought with their livestock. Healthcare is largely non-existent here, and the death rate for pregnant women in Afar is among the highest in the world. Kalila’s mother taught her how to soothe sheep and goats in order to increase milk production, which is the main source of nutrition for the Afar people; her father instructed her to respect Islam and observe Afar Tradition, for example: To worship the sacred tree that is strong and guards the land.

Uyghurs

  • Then, now: Xiaomi is studying a primary school teacher course in a junior college in a big city, and will graduate in June this year. After three years in school, she still failed to pass the Chinese proficiency and primary school teacher qualification examinations. In addition, affected by the epidemic last year, the school failed to arrange for her to go to an elementary school for an internship, so she had to stay at home. At home, she turned back into a good girl, dressed conservatively, and helped with housework and took care of her younger sister. However, her parents were worried that she was wasting time, and hoped that she would find a random job as an internship to increase family income. Due to her lack of self-confidence and lack of ability to work, she kept saying that she would wait for the school to arrange it. Finally, after more than half a year, she still hadn’t found a job, so she often quarreled with her parents. Four years ago, she planned to enroll in her favorite beauty and hairdressing course, but her parents, who were more traditional, felt that this industry required publicity and her income was unstable, so she was not allowed to enroll. Now Xiaomi and her parents regret their decision. With the rapid changes of the times, the development of the Internet, and the urbanization of the countryside, the influence of the Islamic faith on the younger generation of Uyghurs has also weakened a lot. With the increasing secularization of the social atmosphere, the in gap between the new and the old, the young and the elders is becoming more and more obvious, and the conflicts are also increasing.

Muslim men and women from all over the village come to Yusuf, revered among the Bilala for his competence and authority, for healing advice. Yusuf often exhorts people to honor God by living a pious Muslim life, but in his heart Yusuf is horrified by the truth: Islam is utterly powerless to save him.

He lacked faith in Islam, and this religion could not protect him from harm or guide him on a safe path.

  • Country : Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Current population : 1,600,000
  • Then, now: Home-cooked meals with family and friends are favorites for Davud; for him, there is nothing like enjoying an evening of music, dancing and ćevapi (sausage grilled with onions, served with yogurt and white bread) Even better. However, recalling the time many years ago, Davud also experienced the days when he was too scared to laugh and was too poor to eat. After centuries of different rulers, Bosnia and Herzegovina were drawn into Yugoslavia after World War II; then, in 1992, when the country split into three religious main The Nyaks were mercilessly persecuted. In the end, some 200,000 people were killed, 2 million were displaced, and countless towns and villages were destroyed; once united communities are still deeply scarred and live against each other.

Sylhetis

  • Country : Bangladesh
  • Current population : 8,500,000
  • Then, now: Sweaty stirring a pot of steaming lentils, Maliha can only lift up the corner of her sari (the long, thin cloth used to wrap herself in South Asian women) to wipe her face, Her children had just returned from school in the neighboring village and could come in at any moment. Mariha herself never went to school, and like most poor and uneducated Silhetis women, she has lived her entire life in a small house amidst vast rice fields. Although she is illiterate, Maliha’s mind is very sharp. She not only memorizes the prayers of Sufi Muslims, but also recites the content of the Qur’an. The couple make a living by growing rice, and Bangladesh is one of the world’s major rice producers because of its fertile land and abundant water. But the low-lying countryside criss-crossed by rivers floods every year, some years with torrential rains up to 15 feet deep and hundreds of miles across. Like Mariha, many poor people living in Bangladesh feel a deep sense of powerlessness, often unable to prepare their families for disasters.

Arabic-Speaking Algerians

  • Country : Algeria
  • Current population : 29,000,000
  • Then, now: Halim loves philosophy and dreams of becoming a professor; he spoke Arabic, Berber and French as a child and is studying English and German at university. Halim, like many young Algerians, has participated in protest demonstrations in the past, calling on the government to end the elite rule that has held power since independence in 1962. These mass protests have brought about some reforms, but Halim doesn’t think they’re enough, and he’s doing everything he can to see what else he can contribute to his own future and that of millions of young Algerians. Unlike other Arab Muslims, Halim is not very concerned about his Arab identity or Muslim background; as an Algerian, he is proud of his unique Berber heritage. In the early seventh century, wave after wave of Arabs swept the homeland of the Berbers. Some Berber tribes fled, but some tribes stayed. They learned Arabic, converted to Islam, and fused with the Arabs to create a unique culture. However, only a few Algerians know that before the arrival of the Arab Muslims, Christianity once prevailed in the region, and Halim’s Berber ancestors were also followers of Jesus.

Southern Pashtuns

  • Country : Afghanistan
  • Current population : 9,000,000
  • Then, now: Gulalai’s name means “beautiful,” but for more than 40 years, she has seen very little beauty and a lot of ugliness. The village in South Pashtun where she lives is very poor, and her grandsons often fall ill due to long-term drinking of polluted water; few people in the village live beyond the age of 50 due to lack of medical care. Still, Gulalai always filled the house with music and poetry, reciting long poems about her mother’s history and enjoying singing when she celebrated with other village women. South Pashtuns are a love-hate ethnic group. Pashtun men are quite proud and known for taking revenge on those who humiliate them, but they are very loyal to those they love. The men in Gulalai’s family call themselves “peace envoys” and “female guards,” and they act as guardians and companions of Gulalai in public. When going out, Gulalai will wear a traditional full-body burqa. The garment is difficult to wear, but for a woman like her, the burqa is a safe and comfortable shield, protecting her from the threat of humiliation.

Pray for Native Americans: Arise and Resound!

【Current Affairs: In these times, I believe the Lord is INCREASING and RELEASING His voice, with great authority, through His “first fruits” people groups of the land. He is raising up His sold out, set apart, Indigenous burning ones, and releasing HIS VOICE to set nations ablaze for Jesus.

Recently, the Lord took me up into an encounter, and I was looking down on my nation of Australia. By the Spirit of God, I knew that this encounter was for Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and other Indigenous people to the lands.

His Glory Released Through the First Nations Indigenous People

I could see glory mist rising up from the land across the nation. As my spiritual eyes zoomed in closer to the land, in the midst of the glory, I could see people dancing, and I heard a glorious sound. It was the First Nations Indigenous people of the land, worshiping and dancing in their cultural way; the dust of the land spraying up as their feet hit the ground. The glory of the Lord was released into the land as they stomped in the dance. The glory spread and filled the land of the nation (see Habakkuk 2:14).

The First Nations people carry a glory that is unique to the land. This glory is about to be released into the nations, and I believe it is a powerful, ancient key to unlock the awakening of nations.

The Rhythm of an Ancient Love

The overwhelming sense which surrounded me was that these First Nation countrymen and women were dancing to the rhythm of an ‘ancient love’ that compelled them to arise and dance with song; an ancient love that wooed them and drew them back to their first love, Jesus.

“Break forth with dancing! Make music and sing God’s praises with the rhythm of the drums! For He enjoys His faithful lovers. He adorns the humble with His beauty, and He loves to give them victory.” (Psalm 149:3-4 TPT) (Photo via Piqsels)

“We love Him, because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19 KJV)

An Intergenerational Love Drawn from an Ancient Timeline

This ancient love seemed to rise from deep within the age-old layers of this land. It felt to me like an intergenerational love for our Creator was being drawn from an ancient timeline, up through the feet of the First Nations people, and released into the “now” timeline. It was being released through their dance, their song and their hands.

As we all join hands and hearts, the love of God will become known through our lives in the present day. We will be known by the fruit of this ancient love of God; the one who loved us before the foundations of the earth. This intergenerational, ancient love is reigniting within the people.

During this whole encounter, I was surrounded with a strong sense of surrender and being positioned right in the center of a place that beckons, “Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you” (see James 4:8).

Ancient Strongholds Broken

As the perfect love of God poured out through the land and the people, the sheer power of this pure love caused ancient strongholds to be broken off of the land and the people. The land itself was breaking free from shackles and being saturated and soaked in the love and the pure goodness of God.

Unearthing His Hidden Treasures

The love of God was washing away all reproach and revealing these priceless treasures.

“I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord.” (Psalm 40:1-3 AMPC)

I believe the Lord is unearthing His hidden treasures. These hidden treasures are the First Nations voices of the Land, which are being unearthed from the lower layers of the land, causing them to ARISE and RESOUND – NO LONGER BOUND! Once hidden, now they will be lifted up from the miry clay to decree and declare the Word of the Lord, and to display His splendor. (Photo via Pxfuel)

First Nations Awakened Sons Shift Into Destiny

What I was seeing was the First Nations awakened sons and daughters shifting into destiny, arising from the land with a dance of deliverance, a strong song and a new voice.

“O God, my saving God, deliver me fully from every sin, even the sin that brought bloodguilt. Then my heart will once again be thrilled to sing the passionate songs of joy and deliverance!” (Psalm 51:14 TPT)
