So, they don’t believe in God or His sovereignty but enact laws banning “incorrect” prayers. If prayers have no power then they should be ineffective. Sounds like they actually know God has the power to answer prayer & are threatened by that. The enemy at work.
True. It's the enemy at work: "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12 (NLT)
Interesting, isn't it, how there are some religions that want to kill those trapped in that particular lifestyle, whereas Christians want to see people freed from it. But according to the world's logic, we're the ones who need to be silenced and stopped.
Can recall chuck smith preaching mid nineties about how sometime in the future it would become a jailing offense to read Romans 1 in public , or even in church
It would be really hard to believe if we hadn't been forewarned. Do you suppose the present administration is just our “window of Grace?” This is truly an amazing thing that the “left” has been “paused for a season.”
LORD, awaken and mobilize Your army, and at whatever the costs…use me!
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against His anointed, saying, Let us break Their bands asunder, And cast away Their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision.”
It is not just governments that do this. I am finding persecution from "Christians, " who pray to saints and cross themselves to suppress prayer if not done their way. They call them selves Orthodox and others Christians. When I asked about prayer over my mother, I was screamed at and told I know nothing about their traditions. Persecution is coming from so many directions. It is mind boggling.
