Despite the terrible news we're seeing coming from China and other parts if the world that's affected by the virus, this is great news! Our prayer, in the midst of difficult situations and tribulations of the world, should be that God can use the situation to bring hope through the gospel. Hopefully this is encouragement for all of us to be bold and share the gospel just like our brothers and sisters in Christ in China who are not only being heavily persecuted but may also face risks of catching the virus. Let's keep them in our prayers as well as those affected by the coronavirus. __ "At the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, surgical masks are being used in two ways to further the spread of the Gospel. First, Christians wear the mask themselves as they talk about Jesus to people on the streets. This not only helps prevent disease, but can also prevent prosecution by the Chinese government since the masks help conceal a person's identity." __ "There are an estimated 100 million Christians in China, who often face persecution in the Communist nation. For that reason, most operate underground. Second, Chinese Christians are handing out masks to people on the street. Along with the masks, they're also handing out Gospel tracts. CBN News Asia Correspondent Lucille Talusan said since the people of Wuhan are facing fearful uncertainty in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic, some have become more receptive to Christ at this time. "There are Christians, a ministry in Wuhan, they go out to the streets. They're very courageous," she said. "They give out masks and they say that they are Christians and they share the love of Christ and point to Jesus to bring hope to them and their families and the whole of China... This is really a break-through." https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/health/2020/february/christians-boldly-share-the-love-of-christ-on-the-streets-of-chinas-coronavirus-hot-zone . . . . . . . . . . #Repost @himitsustudy #himitsustudy #coronavirus #coronavirusoutbreak #coronavirusnews #coronaviruschina #coronavirus2020 #china #chinesenews #currentevents #endtimes #endtimesigns #endtimesnews #endtimesevents #endtimesprophecy #birthpangs #christian https://www.instagram.com/p/B8YK5RzF3MO/?igshid=1wldgm8v4bzfv

Repost from @himitsustudy using @RepostRegramApp - We really need to be careful about what we expose ourselves to and who we look up to and listen to. Just because someone identifies as "Christian" doesn't mean what they say is biblically true. Just because they may conform to the culture doesn't mean we should. This is true for not just influential individuals and notable stars, but even anyone you may meet in your day to day life. The purpose of this post isn't to "bash" Taylor Swift or debate whether she's saved (although I pray so) but to call this stuff out and encourage you to use your discernment in these last day. Take everything to God's word. __ "The new Netflix documentary "Miss Americana" features pop star Taylor Swift touting her shift to politics, and it takes a left turn when she tries to define what Christians believe to match her own progressive ideas. In the aftermath of President Trump's election, Swift has not only been speaking out about political candidates, like opposing Trump and supporting a Tennessee Democrat candidate for Senate, she's even been using her music to promote a pro-LGBT agenda. For example, Swift's rainbow-clad music video last year for her single, "You Need to Calm Down," is an ode to the LGBTQ community and takes jabs at those who disagree with the lifestyle." __ "Like Swift, other celebrities in recent years have been promoting their own version of Christianity and claiming their left-leaning brand is the real definition of what it means to follow Christ. CBN News previously reported that Lady Gaga called herself a Christian while showing harsh judgment toward Vice President Mike Pence and his biblical definition of traditional marriage between one man and one woman." __ "Turning to the actual political realm, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said he's a homosexual Christian last year. Evangelist Franklin Graham offered a response to what Buttigieg and celebrities have tried to do, saying you can't change the Bible to fit your own beliefs." . . . . . #himitsustudy #lastdays #endtimes #endtimesprophecy #endtimesnews #endtimessigns #endtimessigns #falsedoctrine #apostasy #taylorswift #tswift #ladygaga #p https://www.instagram.com/p/B8YLydPFQDi/?igshid=6ovtkoafsbx8

Islam #Repost @himitsustudy ・・・ Whether it's Nigeria, India, N. Korea, Turkey, Iran, Ethiopia, etc, the persecution of Christians is met largely with silence. Please keep our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in prayer and also the ministries and organizations that help persecuted Christians worldwide. __ From Fox News: The religious persecution of Christians in Nigeria is teetering on genocide, religious leaders and foreign policy analysts caution in a desperate bid for the international community to take urgent action. The Rev. Johnnie Moore, co-author of the new book “The Next Jihad: Stop the Christian Genocide in Africa,” told Fox News that Christian communities have been decimated by terrorists in parts of Nigeria – and most of the persecution happening in the shadows. “Thousands of churches have been torched, children massacred, pastors beheaded, and homes and fields set ablaze by the tens of thousands, with people being targeted for their Christian faith alone,” he said. __ Earlier this year – just weeks before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic – Christian Solidarity International (CSI) warned of a possible genocide unfolding in the West Africa country of 206 million people. The warning underscored that “the conditions for genocide exist in Nigeria, with Christians, non-violent Muslims, and adherents of tribal religions being particularly vulnerable," and called on the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council to take heed. But the cry fell on deaf ears, and as the pandemic has gripped the already fragile state, the level of persecution is documented to be getting worse. __ More than 1,200 Nigerian Christians are estimated to have been slaughtered in the first six months of 2020 and in excess of 11,000 murdered over the past five years – with scores still unaccounted for. They are being targeted from two sides. International Christian Concern (ICC) points out the figures are likely far greater, with upwards of 50-70,000 Christians dead over the past decade. . . . . #himitsustudy #christianpersecution #christianpersecutionisreal #nigerianchristians #nigeriannews #fulaniherdsmen #bokoharam https://www.instagram.com/p/CHzM3sNFDuc/?igshid=1r8nx8hhwve9o

Is the Pope even Catholic? #Repost @himitsustudy ・・・ It seems like every week now I see articles about something the Pope said or supports that's contrary to the bible. Whether it's his support for some global governing structure, or his strange comments about the earth being "mystical" and his frequent allusions to "mother earth", or simply calling everyone regardless of religious background, "God's children". Now we see his support for civil union laws for same-sex couples. It's another area in which the Pope once again fails to address biblically. __ From Catholic News Agency: In a documentary that premiered Wednesday in Rome, Pope Francis called for the passage of civil union laws for same-sex couples, departing from the position of the Vatican’s doctrinal office and the pope’s predecessors on the issue. The remarks came amid a portion of the documentary that reflected on pastoral care for those who identify as LGBT. __ “Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it,” Pope Francis said in the film, of his approach to pastoral care. After those remarks, and in comments likely to spark controversy among Catholics, Pope Francis weighed in directly on the issue of civil unions for same-sex couples. __ “What we have to create is a civil union law. That way they are legally covered,” the pope said. “I stood up for that.” The remarks come in “Francesco,” a documentary on the life and ministry of Pope Francis which premiered Oct. 21 as part of the Rome Film Festival, and is set to make its North American premiere on Sunday. __ The film chronicles the approach of Pope Francis to pressing social issues, and to pastoral ministry among those who live, in the words of the pontiff, “on the existential peripheries.” . . . . . . . . #himitsustudy #popefrancis #popefrancisco #thevatican #catholics #catholicism #civilunions https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnZSNQFOcN/?igshid=1q2dhxd0fbhcx

They replace Latino and Latina with latinX in order to remove gender but the entire Spanish language is gender based, the new leftist ideology is anti-science, human biology is a fact not a political narrative that can be manipulated. #Repost @himitsustudy ・・・ Never thought I'd see the day. Not sure what else can be said at this point 🤨🧐 Just another example of Romans 1:28 playing out in society and the world. The best part of this article was the response "Y'all need to stop". Couldn't agree more. __ “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” - Genesis‬ ‭1:27‬ __ From CBN News: "One branch of the TED Talks initiative has decided it’s best to change the spellings of 'women' and 'woman' because they exclude non-'cis-gendered' people. Instead, the improved spelling is 'womxn.' Some social media users thought the “x” was just a typo. TEDxLondon, however, was quick to disabuse its followers of that notion. 'No, that’s not a typo,' read a response from TEDxLondon. '‘Womxn’ is a spelling of ‘women’ that’s more inclusive and progressive. The term sheds light on the prejudice, discrimination, and institutional barriers womxn have faced, and explicitly includes non-cisgender women.'" __ "Other Twitter users were quick to blast TEDxLondon for attempting to erase 'women' from the English lexicon. 'You’re basically saying women can’t have anything just for them,' wrote Victoria Smith. 'That’s not inclusion, it’s the entire history of patriarchy.'" __ "Another very logical person responded: 'Words are by their very nature exclusive because they describe something. Cow excludes horse, cat excludes dog, woman excludes man. By redefining women to be ‘inclusive’ of men, you’re rendered the term completely useless as it no longer defines half the human species.'" __ "'It’s telling that they don’t redefine ‘men’ as ‘mxn’ to be inclusive towards trans men,' added one commenter. 'This is simply erasure.' Perhaps the best response, though, was this: 'Y’all need to stop.'" . . . . #himitsustudy #cbnnews #womxn #inclusionmatters #inclusive #feminism #godsjudgment #endtimes #endtimesnews #godlovesyou #tedtalks https://www.instagram.com/p/CFD7cygllME/?igshid=1xafiu2olom4y

Christianity is the fastest growing religion in China and that scares the atheist Chinese government. #Repost @himitsustudy ・・・ “Hi-tech surveillance devices including face and fingerprint scanning equipment are now being installed in churches throughout China.” __ “According to a report from Bitter Winter, a publication that explores human rights and religious freedom in China, a facial recognition system that was placed in a government-controlled church, called the Three-Self Church, in Urumqi — the capital of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region — is now being introduced elsewhere in China.” __ "On October 6, Muyang Church (literally Shepherding Church) in the central province of Hubei, which is also the home of the Two Chinese Christian Councils of Huangshi city, had two biometric devices set up on its second floor. Since then, congregation members have to stand in line to have their faces and fingerprints scanned before being allowed to enter the church," the publication reported.” __ https://www.christianpost.com/news/face-and-fingerprint-scanning-installed-in-chinese-churches-as-state-surveillance-increases.html . . . . . . . . . #himitsustudy #currentevents #christianpersecution #christianpersecutionisreal #china #chinesechristians #lastdays #endtimes #endtimesprophecy #endtimesigns #endtimesnews #technology #surveillance https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Zi-ksle4T/?igshid=115l4sbun08d6

Regardless of whether you celebrate Christmas by decorating a tree and exchanging gifts, let's remember to use this opportunity as a time to celebrate the birth and eventual death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior! To the majority of the world, this may be a holiday about santa and presents, but to us who believe in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we can use this as an opportunity to communicate the hope that we have in Christ. Hope everyone has a great Christmas! __ "But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." - Galatians 4:4-5 __ "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:14 __ "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen." - 1 Timothy 1:15-17 . . . . #himitsustudy #himitsu #gospel #gospeltruth #advent #christmas #merrychristmas #jesuschrist #jesussaves #jesuscalling #biblegram #salvationthroughchrist #salvation https://www.instagram.com/p/Br0FAFfgRam/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12hofxd7ch6j5
