Highly restrictive religious laws. Surveillance cameras lurking around every corner. Police knocking on doors and raiding church gatherings. These are a few among the many challenges our persecuted family in China face each week.
Yet despite the communist government’s many attempts to control Christians, the church in China is still growing! Brother Enfu, pastor of an unregistered church, shares on VOM Radio this week the excitement of a growing Body of Christ and the challenges of leading an illegal church congregation.
As communist efforts to control and close down churches have escalated, large church gatherings have become almost impossible. This has led to many more meetings with smaller numbers of Christians, raising the need for trained leaders. Brother Enfu will share how Chinese Christians are meeting that need and help us pray specifically for God to raise up leaders within Chinese churches.
Brother Enfu serves as a leader in an underground Chinese seminary, training and encouraging pastors and their spouses to take on the challenges of leading a congregation. Graduates need to be equipped to lead their flock well and prepared for persecution, ready to face police questioning and even arrest. You’ll be encouraged as Enfu shares the story of five imprisoned church elders and the surprising report he received back of their sweet fellowship together and the spread of the gospel in the jail.
Listen as Brother Enfu shares how house church Christians work together in managing the risks of Christian ministry in a communist nation.
Pray men would be raised up to be godly leaders in their home and the church. Pray pastors in China would glorify God through their marriage and families. Pray our persecuted brothers and sisters in China will continue to fix their eyes on Jesus Christ, even in times of tribulation and suffering.

Praying
All glory to King Jesus
Wow! I'm praying for all my siblings in Christ especially in places like China. Thank you Father God for always taking care of us, in Jesus' name I pray amen!
Amen,
Come to the Philippines we Have Bethany Bible School in Makati City, This time I will pray for every Christian in China for your grow and safety always. God Bless China
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord over all, who is rich unto all that call upon him, will lead and strengthen His people! God is with us, dear Brothers and Sisters!
Lord Jesus make them strong to your words to spread your word all over in China.Holy spirit cover,protect in guide them with the blood of Jesus…In Jesus name…🙏🙏🙏
Shalom from Kuwait 🇰🇼. Thank you for bringing this eposide to our attention. In our prayers 🙏.
God bless all my brothers and sisters in China I pray for them more than they realize
God will protect His children Amen 🙏 ❤😂
God bless you dear brothers and sisters in China and around the world who are suffering from their faith 😢. How shame too much freedom we forgot what's happening around the world
Yes, read your Bible, pray, memorize scripture, evangelize, and Love❤️
Christ said,” I will build My Church “❤
Glory glory hallelujah, our Lord is marching on🎉
God bless you brother Enfu.
We need godly men in the West as well.
I have friends in southern China that have house churches. One sister was arrested, and simply disappeared, assuming she was sent to a hard labor camp. She came back almost a year later and wouldn't say what the government did to her, but she IMMEDIATELY went right back to holding her house church services.
THEY ARE NOT AFRAID to suffer for their faith, yet in the United States people won't go to church unless they are given free coffee and a "feel good" night club church experience. Let that sink in.
The power of God is on the people in these house churches.
The power of God doesn't exist in the lazy American churches anymore.
Not necessarily true I know many people in Canada that attend church because we love the word of the lord.
I pray to the Lord God for such faith like this. One day I will be visiting them and worshiping with them.
Pls cover a story of persecussion of Christians especially in Manipur,India....
Seconded.
First 🌹🌹🌹🌹
In fervent prayers and supplications. Shalom from Kuwait 🇰🇼

Super helpful presentation ! I’m encouraged and fortified by the way these Christians endure suffering and remain true to the task at hand . The LORD is glorified by the gladness springing up in their hearts for each little surprise blessing God bestows upon them . As His ambassadors their joy is multiplied through trials just as much as sweetness from periods of refreshment . God has everything under His perfect control .
Man,we get so distracted by the western world and narrative,China! The machine! The super power!.
We forget that the Word🙏 is in China also. God bless you brother Enfu! May his spirit continue to inspire the many brothers and sisters in China to be courageous and to endure. Because he is worthy!
Amen
There is a real boldness in the Chinese Christian movement. Praise God.

I heard brother Enfu speaking about his ministry in China, God bless you bro, I have a great burden to translate my gospel track telling"'no one ever told me";' in Chinese language can you help me to contact like bro Enfu, sure we pray for you and the people of China.
Wow, it was surprising to hear the problem of the lack of leaders in the churches. Not necessarily because of lack of numbers, but because of lack of qualification / weak men! I thought this was mainly a problem in Western countries. Please stand strong in your conviction to be biblical. It would be so easy to give in and have "women pastors." But that is not biblical. Again, it must be so difficult, on top of everything else. But please continue to stand strong on that principle. Lord Jesus, convict the men to step up!
that is wrong. Paul like many in the Hebrew culture knows, women at that time were new to being taught so Paul told them not to talk and be quiet so they can learn, and of course they could not teach since they were new, as it would be for anyone. sex organs do not determine who has God;s wisdom. God will use anyone before He allows people to suffer, particularly given the pathetic state of the human male in this time.
Psalm 119; Proverbs; John 5:39; John 17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Isaiah 51:16. Let your mouth be filled with the word of God in your heart. Colossians 3:16. That's the power of the revealed word!
AMEN. Peace be upon those who found the truth in China
Our Lord, may You see the China's christians through the hardships and percecutions.
WOW
Going to church is so right, you'll be so backsliden,you may never go back
Take my advice and many other church's also. Your desire to go drops!! 😮
😢❤
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
❤🙏🏼

all to Jesus glory. Read the Bible daily and pray to know and do His will. in His love and care with prayer, amen.
Be sneaky!
Why does chirch have to be in a church building? Christ taught in homes in market places... In open feilds. Why even have church in a
" church" building..on Sundays? Why not have house churches be what church is? Why not have a pastorr over just a few houses? Why not have female pastors? Why does it need to be people gathering into.groups of mass crowds in a designated building called a
" church"?? Jesus had His 12 disciples.. they lived and ate and worked and did every day life together..all week long.
..That way seems more like following The Way.
mark 14:50
Glory to GOD, China Will repent!!!
What about the real bible
b/c in China the real bible is changed.
Éternel, au nom puissant de Jésus-Christ, je te prie afin que le Saint Esprit, le Consolateur, puisse diriger toutes choses, afin que de nombreux hommes se lèvent, pour conduire les familles, que des Pasteurs, des diacres, des diaconesses soient fortifiés, relevés, sans craintes, sans peur, pour l'avancement de ton œuvre, en Chine, aux Etat unis, à travers le monde entier...Scelles tes serviteurs, tes servantes, Saint Esprit, toi le Consolateur, consoles, relèves...Merci merci merci mon Dieu Eternel des armées pour ton Saint Esprit par lequel tu nous as scellé pour le jour de la rédemption. Je t'adore, mon Divin Maître. Alléluia Alléluia Alléluia ! Amen !
You may need to understand a bit about China history, and what human lives could mean. In 1850 also, there was a rebellion called Tai Ping Tian Guo with Christianity in disguise. It caused a death toll of 70 million. Before 1949, China was ruled by ROC with both its president and first lady as Christians. They were the only Christian couple on the ruling seat not only in the history of China but also possibly in the history of the whole Asia. Now guess what, ROC was overthrown by Chinese people themselves, at the cost of a death toll of 50 million. Within the 100 years known as the 100 years of humiliation, rebellions caused a total death toll of over 100 million which is 3 times today's population of Canada. So what do you expect a government of China would do? To let it happen again, especially with religion in disguise? Do you what the meaning of human lives are in terms of a death toll over 100 million?!
It's people themselves but not the government are to blame, for a very specific reason which may not be made known to you. China has been haunted over and over again by this same sole reason till this very day. The foremost question however is, do 100 million human lives mean anything to you?!
It's a wonder you never mentioned the Uyghur people also? China has locked them away?
God created all people, all nations.
@@deeweb24 Whatever your complaint might be, CCP was established by the will and effort of Chinese people as a whole! And at the cost of 50 million lives of their fellow Chinese, that is, more than the whole population of today's Canada. So who to blame, in terms of responsibility?
❤️Who is the ARM OF THE LORD
in ISAIAH 53:10?
Part 8/8 of 🍀Isaiah 53:10
🍃🍃Psalm 40:7
💕Then I said, ‘Lo, I come; in the roll of the book it is written of me.
This means that this " someone" who had come because of obedience is greater than sacrifices and offering as it written, and he will use the whole himself to execute the will, not just listening and hearing by his ears. It is noted that this "someone" is already written in the roll of the book.
Who is this " someone who is there in the pages of the Scripture since in the beginning?
Psalm had been written by David, but David is not the "someone who has been prophecied by Isaiah 53, and Zechariah 12:10-12. Even David had written Psalm 22 of someone who had suffered immensely, but He is not talking about himself. Why? Because David has not been rejected by the people of Israel, David had been adored by his people.
The Arm of the Lord in Isaiah 53 who had been rejected and persecuted by the Israelites but was able to save humanity.
Is the Arm of the Lord in the beginning?
Isaiah 59:1
💕Behold, the LORD’s HAND is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear
heavy, That it cannot hear.
Jeremiah 32:17
💕Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great
power and by your outstretched ARM! Nothing is too hard for you.
Deuteronomy 26:8
💕and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty HAND and an outstretched ARM and with great terror and with signs
and wonders;
Who is this Arm whose with you Israel as told in Psalm 78? Who is this scepter who comes with a prepared body in obedience? Who is this Shiloh who comes in peace but is mighty to save? Who is this Arm to rule in
Isaiah 30:30
💕And the Lord will cause His voice of authority to be heard,
And the descending of His ARM to be seen
in fierce anger,
And in the flame of a consuming fire
In cloudburst, downpour and hailstones.
It is all about the Arm of the Lord, isnt it? It is all about the Arm of the Lord whom you rejected, isnt it Israel?
From being the scepter and the lawgiver who has the authority over the creation to being the Shiloh, "to which belongs to Him"; . From being the power that govern his inheritance from every generation ' till the one ' who had been sent.'
We could undeniably see and confirm thru Psalm 78 the zeal of God to release his people from oppression, to provide them with the necessary needs, to protect them from their own pride and wickedness, and to judge them who would disrespect and dishonor the Almighty Father who had given him his inheritance. But as Father had loved his people, Father promised this Shiloh, the one who dwells with his people.
Isaiah 9:6
💕For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
And the zeal of God to give salvation to his people and to the world is thru this Shiloh, the one who had been borne as a son, to whom Father dwells( Everlasting Father), to whom who shepherded his people from generation to generation (Wonderful Counselor), to whom the scepter and the lawgiver had been designated and revealed (Mighty God), and by his love to Father, compassion to his inheritance and by being the Prince of Peace ( the Arm of the Lord testified by Isaiah 53), Lord Yeshua, Jesus Christ, is able to save humanity, and thus bring us peace indeed.
Isaiah 53:5
💕But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
As this had been continued to
Isaiah 9:7
💕Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
As the Arm of the Lord came as a Son of Man, in flesh, in a prepared body for him, the King of the Jews had fulfilled the promise and blessings to David. As the Arm of the Lord had died but lived again, and will rule forever as testified by Isaiah 53 fulfilling the covenant with David
Covenant with David
2Samuel 7:16
💕And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
That is why the one whom you rejected Israel is the one who will rule on the throne of David forever. For He is the only one who lives FOREVER from the descendants of David.
Luke 1:31-33
💕And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his
name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his
father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
A Messiah was promised from the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Jesse, and David; and the genealogy of Jesus can be found in Matthew 1:2-16 and Luke 3:23-38.
🍃You Jews question the genealogy of Jesus. Though Joseph is not his biological Father, but by the law, Jesus is legally accepted as the son of Joseph.
As both Joseph and Mary did come from the descendants of David, is Mary' s genes unacceptable to be called from the line of David because she is a woman? You answer.
Or you Jews will continue to have no sense at all? You are not blind anymore for the veil is lifting, and you had known it. It is in the matter of acceptance and rejection of Jesus Christ as the Arm of the Lord.
Hosea 6:6
💕For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
🍃🍃Psalm 40:8
💕O my God; thy law is within my heart.’
This someone who would obey and do the will of Father is a Jew. Jesus obeyed the law when he had come; and when he had come he is without of sin as signified by 'thy law is within my heart'.
Matthew 5:17
💕Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them
Jesus Christ is obedient to Father, and when on earth he is also obedient to the law, thus signifying him as a Jew and without sin as the Scripture told.
Where can you find someone who had been rejected and persecuted by the people of Israel for the sins not of his own.
It is written in Isaiah 53:8, the Arm of the Lord.
💕...For he was cut off from the land of the living;for the transgression of my people he
was punished.
Where can you find an obedience coming from the heart?
Isaiah 53:12
💕....because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the
transgressors.
🍀🍀🍀To be continued to New Covenant in Isaiah 53:10

14:46 Yes, if you know your Bible, you will know that the 7th day is the Sabbath of the Lord, not Sunday.
❤️Who is the ARM OF THE LORD
in ISAIAH 53:10?
Part 5/8 of 🍀Isaiah 53:10
3. The Trinity
A. The Bible proclaims the Trinity of God: God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit. They are present in the beginning and are involved in the creation of the world. And they are ONE.
Genesis 1: 1-2
💕In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the
waters.
John 1:1-2
💕 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. He was with God in the beginning.
With these verses, there is the existence of the Trinity even before the beginning of time, before all the creation existed, before the creation of man.
1 John 5:7
💕For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
This is the verse (1 John 5:7) that had been deleted from other translations, but this had been validated by the Old Testament thru
Isaiah 48:16
💕“Come near to Me, hear this:
I have not spoken in secret from the
beginning;
From the time that it was, I was there.
And now the Lord God and His Spirit
Have sent Me.”
Who is this "Me" who was there in the beginning? There is the Lord God, and His Spirit, and "Me." There are 3 persons.
Who is the one who had been sent? It is the Word who became man.
Then this proves the existence of the One God in the Beginning: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. It is the Same.
Who among from the Christianity would nullify these verse?
Is there ANY single verse you breathe out that you had the authority to reject/ to disregard/to nullify/ or delete even a single one of them?
B. In the kingdom of Father in heaven, there is NO such thinking/concept of who among them is higher from each one of them. For they are ONE. It is only here on earth the existence of such, for some creations always have the longing to prove they are higher among others.
The respect, honor, and love towards Father in heaven emanates from each one of them and all the heavens; and is attested through obedience. That is why the Bible said, "in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
They are One; and the Son and the Holy Spirit cannot be separated from Father. They know in their heart what is OPT to be, it has never been commanded to them but it is all given freely.
It is Father who leads us to Jesus, for Father knew we are the ones who will truly love his Son
John 6:44
💕“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
And the Son teaches us how to love Father and the Holy Spirit reminds us how to love the Father and the Son.
John 15:26
💕“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
It is only here on earth that there is argument who is the greatest of them all. Father honors what is His Own as the Bible reveals. And we should do also like them. We honor them ALL as One God, for they are the reason why we live and will be given an inheritance of a God.
🍃You have to adapt it( buy), that Jesus Christ is God and the Son of God. You have to adapt from the wisdom that had been bestowed to the other churches.
This is not about the shame of not knowing nor is who knew first or who knew last; but this is about who ACCEPT the truth of Jesus Christ whether first or last to know.
Nullify John 1:1-2 if you will. It is either you and your congregations believe the Word of God or you will be spit out from the Lord's mouth. You must not 'wait' nor set 'a lot a time to believe' nor 'just to observe first' (neither hot nor cold) for if the spirit of God had been bestowed to your Church, then you will see it clearly that Jesus Christ is God and the Son of God; and you will buy from the Lord gold refined by fire. You must adapt the wisdom of God with regards to this understanding. You have to buy now.
🍃Remember the parable of the 10 virgins. Five took flasks of oil with their lamps, while the other 5 took no oil with their lamps. But when the bridegroom come, the virgins trimmed their lamps..
Matthew 25:8-13
💕And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since
there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the
marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ But he
answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Is the 'Word' God in the beginning? You can answer it clearly by citing John 1:1-2.
Revelation 3:14
💕For this is from ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning
of God's creation.'
You truly knew that what had been said by our Lord Yeshua will be executed. It is whether you nullify or approved that Jesus Christ is God and the Son of God.
You had KNOWN the consequences of all your actions for you and all your congregations who disbelieve Jesus Christ as God, and as the Son of God, and as the Word who was with Father and with the Spirit in the beginning.
2. Who is the scepter and the lawgiver?
Genesis 49:10
💕The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until
Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people
🍃A scepter is a sign of power and authority. If we are going to analyze, " The scepter shall not depart from Judah" means even before Judah or the tribe of Judah came, the scepter is already present in the times of Judah's ancestors because of the word "shall not depart from." It will only continue in the line of Judah to his descendants. The scepter is primarily the guide and strenght that endows authority in Abraham' s descendants thru Isaac.
Psalm 45:6
💕Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
💕"Nor a lawgiver from between his feet"
This suggest comparison or relationship between the scepter and the lawgiver.
For who gave the law to Israel? It is the one who had the power and authority.
Then who and where can we find the scepter and the lawgiver? This is seen and confirmed in
Psalm 78:5
💕For He established a testimony in Jacob,
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers,
That they should make them known to their children;
Thru this verse, we could confirm who is the lawgiver. In the whole chapter of Psalm 78, we could see how the scepter works, how the scepter endowed with power and authority, and showed his sovereignty and supremacy above all.
