People all across the world are witnessing the destruction in Syria. People all across the world are witnessing the destruction on earth by a careless society and the elites. People all across the world are so focused on their own fear and problems that we forget what unites us all in desperate times. Faith, the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Faith is the answer to a world gone astray.
In these perilous times, many feel lost, abandoned and forgotten while stuck in a war stricken country or place by a world that cares not. What happens when all is lost? What happens when there is nothing left? Who picks up the pieces?
Faith, the substance worth fighting for, worth bleeding for, worth dying for, faith in Jesus Christ that is. Below is a powerful testimony by Author Tim Doyle telling the story from Syria.
Hundreds of Christians have been reported missing, hundreds more have been slaughtered. ISIS has been the wrecking force behind such attacks, but looking further at the driving force of ISIS one will find the US and Mossad are the real menaces of this crisis.
Just recently 230 Christians have been reported missing after fighting near their villages. Even though the threat of death and capture surrounds the entire middle east for Christian men, women, and children; something truly awesome is happening.
The faith is growing, the church is growing, and the people are waking up to the power of Christ, the redemption of Christ, the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Christian Persecution has happened all throughout human history, for it is written that it will happen. God says fear not FOR IT WILL PASS. God is purifying His people.
When all hope is lost, and the darkness surrounds, there’s a light on YOU just have to know where to look. Jesus Christ.
“So they prayed and fasted for a week, the team. And so Fareed walked down to the basement of this house in Damascus thinking, ‘I wonder if anyone is going to be there,"” Doyle said.
“There was actually 25 leaders there – the 10 had gone out and recruited 15 more that said, ‘We’re ready to stay, we’re ready to suffer, we ready to die here in Syria for Jesus,"” Doyle continued.
“And to seal this commitment they went out and bought a plot of land so they can bury each other when they die as martyrs,” he said. Doyle says the team continues to send reports that Jesus is moving in Syria, people are joining the Church, and the graveyard is empty.”
For their graves are empty. Jesus Christ reigns forever, and ever.
These times are different, for there are signs in the sun, moon, stars, distress in the earth, distress amongst nations. People are rising against people, nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. God is purifying His people, through these trials, and through faith. The redeemer is redeeming, and the word of the Lord is cutting just as a double-edged sword.
The only way out is through the tribulation, and what comes next is going to be tough on humanity, prepare now for destruction cometh and just as the Bible states in Matthew 24:13; But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Be prepared to endure the tribulation, for it is also written:
Matthew 24:29-37King James Version (KJV)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
