PRISONERS FOR CHRIST
I HAVE ADDED THIS PAGE BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE REMINDED THERE ARE THOSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHO ARE LAYING DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. WHILE MOST IN OUR COUNTRY ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN PROSPERITY AND WELL BEING, THERE ARE THOSE BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE GIVING THEIR LIVES, NOT JUST FOR OTHER BELIEVERS, BUT FOR THE UNBELIEVING, THAT MAY BRING THEM TO A SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

YOU MIGHT NOT THINK THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP, BUT THERE IS. YOU CAN FIRST AND FORMOST PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE BEING PERSECUTED FOR THEIR FAITH. PRAYER REALLY WORKS. IT IS NOT JUST SOME MECHANICAL FORM WE GO THROUGH BECAUSE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO. IT IS A POWERFUL WEAPON TO BRING DOWN THE STRONGHOLDS OF THE DEVIL. WE CAN BE THE INFLUENCE THAT CHANGES THE NATIONS OR WE CAN SIT BY AND WHILE THE DEVIL RUNS RAMPANT OVER THE EARTH. WE CAN PRAY TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH WE ARE MILES APART AND OUR PRAYERS CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY. WE, AS SONS OF GOD, CAN RISE UP TO THE FATHER'S THRONE AND DISPLACE THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS OR WE CAN DWELL IN THE EARTH REALM AND BE TRAMPLED ON BY THE DEVIL. WHICH WILL IT BE?

THE SECOND THING WE CAN DO IS HELP SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE GIVING AID AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO OUR SUFFERING BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I HAVE INCLUDED A WEB SITE YOU CAN GO TO AND SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT THOSE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES TO GET HELP TO THOSE BEING PERSECUTED. THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO HELP SUPPORT. YOU CAN JUST GIVE MONEY AND THAT IS GOOD, BUT YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET MORE INVOLVED IN MAILING OUT BIBLES TO PEOPLE, SOME OF WHOM HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN A BIBLE. NOW THAT IS HARD FOR US TO IMAGINE. WE ALL HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT BIBLES AND WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THE PRIVILEGE WE HAVE IN BEING ABLE TO HAVE A BIBLE.

WE ALL MUST BE LED BY THE SPIRIT, BUT WE CAN SOMETIMES USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO DO NOTHING. WE CAN TALK THE TALK, BUT CAN WE WALK THE WALK. WE CAN SIT AND DISCUSS OUR "DEEP REVELATION" OR WE CAN BEGIN TO LIVE THE REALITY OF BEING A SON OF GOD. YES, WE ARE STILL GROWING AND WILL ONE DAY COME TO THE FULL MANIFESTATION OF ALL THAT GOD IS, BUT DO WE FOR THE TIME JUST SIT AND WAIT TO COME TO MATURITY? ARE YOU WAITING FOR A CERTAIN AND CERTAIN EVENT BEFORE YOU RISE UP AND WALK IN THE REALITY OF THE SPIRIT?

DAVID ROSE UP AND KILLED GOLIATH, BUT BEFORE HE DID HE HAD KILLED A LION AND A BEAR. IF HE HAD NOT ALREADY HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF KILLING THE LION AND THE BEAR HE WOULD NEVER HAVE KILLED GOLIATH. HE WALKED IN HIS MEASURE OF REALITY AND MOVED ON TO A GREATER MEASURE OF THE REALITY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

WE WILL BE ADDING DIFFERENT STORIES FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT YOU CAN GO TO THE WEB SITE AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND KEEP UPDATED.

SHUANG SHUYING

ON FEB. 8 SHUANG SHUYING WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON IN CHINA AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL TO VISIT HER DEATHLY ILL HUSBAND, 91 YEAR-OLD, HUA ZAICHEN.

CHINA AID ASSOCIATION (CAA) REPORTED SHUYING, 79, SENT A LETTER THANKING EVERYONE FOR PRAYING AND SUPPORTING HER. SHE ALSO REVEALED THAT WHILE IN PRISON SHE WAS TORTURED BY THE PUBLIC SECURITY BUREAU (PSB). "...THE PSB WENT TO MY PRISON INTERROGATING, THREATENING AND HARASSING ME NUMEROUS TIMES," SHUYING SAID. "THEY EVEN DIRECTED OTHER PRISONERS TO TAKE OFF ALL MY CLOTHES AND FORCED ME TO STAND ALONE OUTSIDE IN THE EVENING WITHOUT LETTING ME SLEEP."

SHUYING ADDED SHE WAS SLAPPED ON HER FACE AND FORCED TO DRINK HER OWN URINE. DESPITE THESE HARSH CONDITIONS, SHUYING'S FAITH REMAINED STRONG. "DURING THESE TERRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCES, I PRAYED WITHOUT CEASING. I ASKED GOD TO GIVE ME STRENGTH," SHUYING SAID. "EVERY TIME WHEN MY SON CAME TO VISIT ME AND SHARED WITH ME THAT BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD HAD BEEN PRAYING FOR ME, I FELT GREATLY STRENGTHENED AND EMPOWERED WHICH HAS ENABLED ME TO CONTINUE TO LIVE."

IN JANUARY 2007, SHUANG SHUYING, AND HER SON PASTOR HUA HUIQI, WERE ATTACKED AND WOUNDED BY SEVEN POLICE OFFICERS WHILE WALKING NEAR AN OLYMPIC HOTEL SITE IN BEIJING. THEY WERE KICKED TO THE GROUND AND LATER TAKEN TO THE OLYMPIC POLICE STATION FOR QUESTIONING, CAA REPORTED. SHUYING WAS SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS IN PRISON, WHILE HUA SERVED SIX MONTHS.

THE VOICE OF THE MARTYRS REJOICES IN SHUANG SHUYING'S RELEASE. SHE WAS FREATURE ON WWW.PRISONALERT.COM, VOM'S WEB SITE LISTING CHRISTIAN PRISONERS. VISITORS TO THE SITE WROTE MORE THAN 8,200 LETTERS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO HER

VOM ENCOURAGES YOU TO CONTINUE PRAYING FOR SHUANG SHUYING AND HER FAMILY, ESPECIALLY HER AILING HUSBAND. PRAISE GOD FOR HER RELEASE AND ASK HIM TO PROTECT AND ENCOURAGE THEM DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. Note - Shuang's husband has since pasted on.
