From Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

To: All those who are concerned and worried about my current situation.

First, I would like to inform all of my beloved brothers and sisters that I am in perfect health in the flesh and spirit. And I try to have a little different approach from others to these days, and consider it as the day of exam and trial of my faith. And in these days which are hard in order to prove your loyalty and sincerity to God, I am trying to do the best in my power to stay right with what I have learned from God's commandments.

I need to remind my beloveds, though my trial due has been so long, and as in the flesh I wish these days to end, yet I have surrendered myself to God's will.

From time to time I am informed about the news which is spreading in the media about my current situation, for instance being supported by various churches and famous politicians who have asked for my release, or campaigns and human rights activities which are going on against the charges which are applied to me. I do believe that these kind of activities can be very helpful in order to reach freedom, and respecting the human rights in a right way can bring forth great results in this.

I want to appreciate all those are trying to reach to this goal. But at the other hand, I'd like to announce my disgust at insulting words or activities which make stress and trouble, which unfortunately are done with the justification (excuse) of defending human rights and freedom, for the final result is so clear and obvious for me. Insulting the belief of other nations or people, whether they be a majority or minority, is not accepted and is an unworthy deed, specifically for those who have this teaching to love and respect others more than themselves and treat them the same as you want to be treated.

　

So I ask all the beloved ones to pray for me as the holy word has said. At the end I hope this be prepared as soon as possible, as the authorities of my country will do with free will according to their law and commandments which are answerable to.

May God's Grace and Mercy be upon you now and forever.

Amen. Youcef Nadarkhani

It Time to Pray for President Obama

Israeli officials say they won't warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, according to one U.S. intelligence official familiar with the discussions

Israeli officials said that if they eventually decide a strike is necessary, they would keep the Americans in the dark to decrease the likelihood that the U.S. would be held responsible for failing to stop Israel's potential attack

But the apparent decision to keep the U.S. in the dark also stems from Israel's frustration with the White House

Jesus Christ is a Jew.  We are his spiritual bride . We have then same right as Jerusalem Jews people have.  So will the Church go through  this ?

　

　

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

　

Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them

　

　

Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
so will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.

A New Year always comes with a threshold of entrance into the new. Many times we are excited about flipping calenders to show a New Year while we fail to flip the script of our lives to bring forth the newness of change. I have accumulated so much weighty baggage this year in my mindset, attitude, lifestyle, relationships, finances, marriages, and etc.

As I was spending my quiet time with the Lord this morning, I saw myself loaded down with unnecessary weight. Trying to carry my load as well as others. I gently heard the Spirit of God say," Lessen your Load". I began to ask Him, "Lord how"? In a still small voice I simply hear,"Lay them down and leave them there".
The simplicity of those words had a great affect on me this morning. I realized those words were ever so easy yet so hard. As I began to weep in worship, I saw that threshold of entering into the new while dragging the baggage of old. How many of us will have a calendar change while our lives remain the same?

How many of us will enter into the NEW NOW dragging our old way of thinking, our old patterns, old stinky attitudes, old doubts and fears, old relationships that have harmed us more than helped us, old regrets, old stuff that is continually weighing us down.

A New Year is most exciting but it births a choice of change! What is it this year that have held you hostage? Imprisoned you from being everything God has created you to be? What baggage this year has stopped you from seeking God the more? What handles of baggage are you holding unto that is keeping you from fully stepping over the threshold into the NEW that God has prepared for you? What do you need to say goodbye to?

We can no longer afford to straddle the threshold of life with one foot dabbling in the things of God and the other foot playing with the world of lying, gossiping, fornication, doubt, fears, rejection, shame etc. No, my friends, the "CHOICE OF CHANGE" is peeking through the threshold of time beckoning for us to enter in fully into the NEW NOW; but in order to do that we must:

LOOSE OUR GRIP FROM THE HANDLE OF WAS, LAY THE BAGGAGE DOWN, LET GO, LEAVE IT THERE AND WALK FREELY INTO THE DAWNING OF A NEW YEAR....The choice of change is NOW. I'm ready, are you? Let's go...

How majestic is Your name in all the earth! We lift Your name high above... the heavens and we glorify You today! Father, we ask that You bless our going out and our coming in! Fill us with Your Spirit and let Your glory be revealed in us today! Let others see Your heart, Your love, Your peace, Your joy and strength in us today! Demonstrate Your power in and through us! Lord, we surrender to Your leading! We follow You! Order our steps in Your word! For Your word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path! We stay on the course You have lain out before us! We walk in your plans for us and we thank You that where ever we go, You have gone before us! We give ourselves fully to You, to be used for Your glory! We are your vessels! Pour us out as a drink offering for those who are thirsty and hungry for you! We thank You for the outpouring and the indwelling of Your Spirit and we decree it is so! in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Iran delaying decision on fate of Christian pastor

Court rules verdict won't come for another year

An Iranian court has said it will delay a final verdict on the case of imprisoned Christian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani for a year.

Previous reports said that Nadarkhani's case – he's accused of leaving Islam and could be sentenced to death – would be decided in mid-December by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Sayyed Khameini. Khameini has not announced a decision.

Pastor Nadakhani was arrested and convicted of apostasy in 2009 for allegedly leaving Islam, a charge he denied by saying that he was never a Muslim.

International Christian Concern's Aidan Clay says the delay in a decision is a careful but deliberate decision by Iran's judiciary.

"Recent reports indicate that the presiding judge over Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani's case was ordered by the head of the judiciary to postpone the announcement of Youcef's verdict for another year, meaning Youcef will remain in prison," Clay said.

Clay adds that even a month ago, the Iranians were promising a decision by the middle of this month.

"Only a month ago, the court said it would make a decision by mid-December. The court had handed the decision over to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, following fervent international pressure in October. Whether or not Khamenei made a decision is not known, but the verdict that was expected to be announced in the coming days has instead been put off once again," Clay said.

Clay believes the real reason for the delay is that the Iranians are hoping human rights groups will forget about the Iranian pastor.

"Undoubtedly, authorities are hoping that the international community will forget about Youcef altogether. However, up until now, that has not been the case as international attention continues to grow. On December 9, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for Youcef’s immediate and unconditional release," Clay said.

"Her statement followed the demands of others, including Britain, Canada, France, Mexico, and a European Parliament resolution. Groups like the ACLJ have done an outstanding job by acquiring hundreds of thousands of signatures on a petition to raise awareness of Youcef’s plight," Clay said.

"There is no doubt that the considerable amount of attention on the case has played a vital role in keeping Youcef alive," Clay said.

Clay believes the Iranians will use the time to accomplish their main objective – to get the pastor to deny his faith.

"Iranian authorities will clearly use the lengthened imprisonment and the extensive amount of pressure it entitles to attempt to persuade Youcef to recant his Christian faith," Clay said.

Sociality  have level us all out  :

Common people and Preachers

Owners and Workers alike

Riches People and No bodies alike

Buyer and Sellers

Bankers and Debtors and Beggars alike

The haves and have -nots alike

Lenders and Borrowers

　

We are finding ourselves saying  like King Solomon  Vanity !

Sometimes people are not immediately punished for the bad things they do. Their punishment is slow to come, and that makes other people want to do bad things too.

A sinner might do a hundred evil things and still live a long time. But I know that it is still better to obey and respect God.  Evil people don’t respect God, so they will not get good things or live long lives. Their lives will not be like the shadows that become longer and longer as the sun goes down. There is something else that happens on earth that does not seem fair. Bad things should happen to bad people, and good things should happen to good people. But sometimes bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. This is not fair.

Just like when you was a slaves to this system of this world. God said I will break the chains that hold them. I will save them from the powerful hands of those who made them slaves. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

God gave you a divorce from the world system of  life.  But you decide to take the back door.  You became a Sharecropper.  You went to work for someone else Business . Some went to the  state / city Government jobs.  You receive your portion of the harvest. But soon found out it couldn’t  met you needs. So you had to go to college and get a degree . Only to find out that your new job was build on a foundation of sinking sand.  It left you with creditor calling you and bills.  Only thing you find yourself doing is ask for extend of credit and that come with restriction on your life. Now you are in a perpetual cycle of debt.

God saying   I’m  the One comforting you.  What are you afraid of  or who  ?  Some man or woman who’ll soon be dead ?  Some poor wretch destined for dust ?  You’ve  forgotten me, God, who made you,  and  I  sent my only beloved son Jesus !  

Jesus said I am come that they might have Life and that they might have it

More Abundantly !

This Christmas make a commit to  Live  Jesus  Way of  Life Style  !

Go  Create a BUSINESS  of  Your Own !  No  More Sharecropper Life Style for You !

                               You  Are  A  King `s  Child  !

Christmas presents come but once a year, but God's blessings come all year round! He's not Santa to us, but He is Savior to us! We don't expect Him to come down our chimneys! We expect Him to come into our hearts! He doesn't come to us on a sleigh, but on the wings of His everlasting love! No matter who's been naughty or nice, He makes His sun to rise on the evil and the good; He sends rain on the just and the unjust! I tell you, no matter our life situations, we're GREATLY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED! Bless His name! Glory!!!!!

Lord, You are my LIFE GENERATOR. Should I shut down in my own strength, You're able to keep me going in Your own strength. Wherefore I fear not the vicissitudes of life, expecting change as decreed by Your infinite love and effected by Your eternal power. I've no reason to panic, but every reason to praise You in the midst of it all. The devil may be in a corner somewhere laughing at me, but I know Thou art with me, to deliver me out of all my distresses. Lord, You're my everything. Love You so much!!!!
