The Beginning of Sorrows...

And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many will come in My name, saying, I am Christ, and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled, for all these things must occur; but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in different places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they will deliver you up to be afflicted and will kill you. And you will be hated of all nations for My name's sake. And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will rise and deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold. But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come. (Mat 24:4-14)
I am so glad Pastor Yang shared on the accuser of the brethren last sunday. It is really about time we understand more about the schemes and devices of our adversary. He knows that his time is short and is working doubly hard now to thwart the purposes of God. Lets not under-estimate him, for he is really wise and have many years of battle experience.
Thus, be sure that we can't out-smart him using our own ideas or wisdom. Log on to God and go according to His battle plan and it will always lead us to victory...
If you are alert, you can see the many assaults of the enemy on the church and this nation. You may have already heard of the troubles our 2 sisters in China got into. Praise God for His speedy deliverance!! Another front of assault is on the governmental authorities. Just last Fri night, 2 officers from the Police Coast Guard died after a high-speed chase in the sea, pursuing after suspected illegal immigrants. This is their first fatality in decades.
In this critical time, Watch & Pray... also for the United States, after the horrendous college massacre. Unsheathe your double-edged sword, prepare to fight the battle of the ages with the Word of Truth...
