1 Peter 2:9 — Brother Yun

Brother Ren are you ready to come up here? There's a group of people that are going to pray over you first. Thank you. Take this with you. Thank you. Hallelujah. Father we thank you for what you're doing at this hour.

We thank you for brother Ren and brother Yun. Lord I ask that you anoint them. That they will speak the truth. That they will speak the truth in boldness. Lord we're all here because we want to hear the truth.

We're all here because we want to get real. Lord we are not here to play church. We're here to find out what you want. And then to do it.

Yes Lord we thank you Father for this evening. Father God thank you Lord that we can gather together under your name. In the name of Jesus. Father thank you for brother Yun and brother Ren. Lord that you brought them into this area.

Father God and now Lord God I pray for an impartation. Father God of your Holy Spirit to come down. A double anointing Lord God would come down over them tonight. Father God. Your peace would come down Lord over them.

Father I pray there would be an open heaven over this place. I pray Father God for your ministering spirits Lord God. To go up and down Father. And release from your throne into their lives what you want us to hear tonight.

Father it's not an accident Lord God. That they've been praying for us for ten years Father God. And that you brought them into this area now. Lord for such a time as this Father God. And now Lord God would you release the prophetic word.

The word that you have. Whatever word it is that you have for this region. And this time this season Father God would you release it. Through my brothers tonight in Jesus name. Lord we do bless your name.

We do thank you. It is grateful hearts Lord that we have gathered here tonight. And Father tonight. We are very thankful for these messengers. These vessels. And yet even as our ears are open to the words that come.

From their lips. Yet even so our hearts are looking to you. Father through them to supply the need. Of our heart and of this hour. And Father by your Holy Spirit tonight. Would you come and would you do something.

That is beyond even just the words. Something that is beyond just. Just so many things Lord. So many doctrines. So many facts. But something that has to do with eternity. Something that has to do with Jesus Christ.

Something that will affect this world. With the mighty power of God. Lord we ask for we lift up our hearts. We lift up our voices. We lift up our eyes to you Lord. That is where our help comes from. And we are crying out to you in this hour.

To see that you will come. And reign righteousness upon us. And change us Lord. More into the image of Jesus. To fulfill that work.

Which he commissioned us to do. Which is not yet being completed. In Jesus name. Yes Lord I thank you for these brothers. That travel across the land. To come into our communities. To bless us. And to speak to us.

Into the place where you want to take us. Lord to be used by the fullness. Of the calling that you called us with. Lord to release that within us. God cause an awakening to happen. A vision to be birthed.

That is from God.

And that we can all take. Whatever that is that would unlock. The things in our hearts. That need to be unlocked. So that we can move forward with you. And we can be obedient. To your call Lord. In Jesus name.

Jesus Christ Must Be Everything

I greet you all. In the name of Jesus. Now. Just to get it all right. From the beginning. There are some things. That are really the truth. And one part of the truth. Is that brother Yun is nothing. And brother Ren.

Is little bit less. But Jesus. Is everything. Amen. So can we agree on this point. So if you really. Are sincere tonight. You would look neither. Brother Yun. Nor brother Ren. Because we really cannot do anything.

But Jesus can do everything. How many of you. Were in those few meetings. In this neighborhood. About ten years ago. When the heavenly man book was launched. Can you raise up your hands. Actually there are almost ten people.

Out of five thousand. So it's quite good. How many of you. Have read the heavenly man book. Oh. So that's why you have come here. Because we have been. We have been driving around. In Lancaster area today.

Where are all the people. But actually you were sitting already here. Waiting for us. So this was the answer. Praise God. Now. I am so thrilled. To be back here. I never forgot. My wife who is sitting here.

She is my witness. I was completely changed. After those two weeks of meetings. In Pennsylvania. And I think in Iowa. Three different states. Among the Amish. And Mennonite communities. And I was sharing.

What God. Is able to do. In every culture. In every country. Where there are people. Who are willing. To lay down their lives. For Jesus. And for Jesus to take use of their lives. Now. Together with brother.

We have tonight. Two kind of Chinese here. We have brother. And his wife. Sister Turling. Who is sitting here with my wife. Later on she will stand up. They are real Chinese. It doesn't matter. How deep in you go.

Into their skin. They are as yellow in as they are out. And then there are. People like myself and my wife. We are what they call. Chicken egg Chinese. We are white outside. But very very yellow inside.

Together with my wife. We have been serving the Lord. Among Chinese. In far east. Now more than 32 years. And then we have a third kind of Chinese. I don't know if any one of them. Have arrived here tonight.

We call them for banana Chinese. They are yellow outside. And completely white inside. They have been totally. Westernized. And they are thinking. And they are speaking. And everything is very very. Western.

Now. When we get started tonight. This is the first of our. Maybe four meetings in this place. I am going to use little time. To bring you. To that reality. Where we are coming from. How many of you. Have visited China.

I am surprised. Maybe 20 people. That was the biggest group. So far. As we have been traveling in US. And all of you. 20 people. You can be my witness. About this. That China is little bit bigger. Than America.

And there are more people. In China. Than there are in America. Now. The global Chinese population. Is today. About. 2 billion people. About 1 out of 4 people. Who are living on this earth. Today. Are Chinese.

And in China. We have a saying. That God so loved Chinese. That he made so many of them. And it is very difficult. For me to argue. With God about this. Because I am born in Finland. So I am all finished.

From the beginning. And Finland has only 5 million people. And this is quite interesting. Because. I believe. That when we get to heaven. As believers of Jesus Christ. We will discover. That 1 out of 4 people.

Who are walking in heaven. They look exactly like. The key speaker of tonight. Brother Yun. So when you see. Brother Yun standing here tonight. You can see an image. Of 1 out of 4. Of the world population of heaven.

Now the church in China. They are not happy about this. They are thinking. That we are going to squeeze in. More Chinese. To heaven. Than 1 out of 4. In order. To do that. Every believer in China. Is actually.

An evangelist. Every believer is actually. A disciple of Jesus. And what does they do? They go. And they share about Jesus. To others. They pray for other people. So they may also receive Jesus. And you know.

If you feel. That there is no revival. In our neighborhoods. The number 1 reason. Usually is. That nobody is not working. For revival. Nobody is paying price. For revival. So in China. God has been doing.

Some amazing work. Now. The gospel. Started 2000 years ago. In Jerusalem. And. Jesus said in the book of Acts. Chapter 1. And 8. You will receive power. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses.

In Jerusalem. All Judea, Samaria. And to the ends of the world. Now. It's a very good question. Tonight. To answer. If anybody has an answer. Better than mine. You can come to talk to me. And correct me after this.

The end of the world. 2000 years ago. Nobody knew. That the world is round. Is a ball. So if you start to go. One direction. In one from one point. And you are looking for the end of the world. You actually have to go around.

The whole ball. And come back to the same place. And that is the beginning. And that is the end. Of the world. Do you understand? So actually. When Jesus was standing on the Mount of Olives. How many of you have been in Jerusalem?

More than in China. Praise God. Do you remember. When you are standing on the Mount of Olives. And you look towards Jerusalem. You saw the golden gate. And the golden gate. Is the eastern gate of Jerusalem.

So obviously. Jesus was watching. Towards west. When he sent out. His disciples. And this is what we believe in China. We believe. That Jesus gave a. Geographical direction. For the gospel that day. He sent his disciples.

You will go west. All the way. Back to Jerusalem. With the gospel. Of Jesus Christ. Sixteen chapters later. Apostle Paul. A great missionary. The best missionary. Ever been on this earth. Most successful.

And most anointed. With all these visions. And dreams. And revelations. He decided one day. I want to go. To Arabia. I want to go east. And you remember what happened. Holy Spirit. Stopped him. How is it possible.

That the man. With all these dreams. And visions. And relationship with Lord Jesus himself. He can get it wrong. Not only one time. Same day he decided. It seems to be not to east. Let's go north. To Misunia and Pithunia.

If Holy Spirit. Had promised Paul. To go east. The gospel had arrived to China. Two thousand years ago. And we don't understand why. The Holy Spirit stopped. Paul going east. But what we know. When Jesus was born.

There was a census. In China. It's still all these documents. Are. At some history museums. In China. The Chinese population. Was the birthday. Of Jesus. Already 67 million people. China was the largest.

Nation. Two thousand years ago. But the Holy Spirit. Did not allow Paul. To go the shortest way. To China. And neither allow him. To go north. If the gospel. Would have been. Allowed to go north. Then it would have reached.

All the way to Russia. Two thousand years ago. But it was no go. And it took a vision. A revelation from God. Next night. A man from west. From Europe appeared. And he said. Paul come over. And help us.

So if you sometimes think. That I missed it. I didn't get it right. Be encouraged. Paul got it wrong two times. One day. You can make better. You can do better. So the gospel started to go. To that same direction.

Where Jesus had sent it. Go west. All the way. To the ends of the world. And it came to Europe. And from Europe. To America. And then 1800 years later. The China. Reached the gospel. The gospel came to China.

1807. First missionary Christian. Modern missionary. Robert Morrison. Came to China. And he started to translate. The Chinese Bible. And he was. A very very. Special missionary. He was so fluent in Chinese.

That his translation. Of a Chinese Bible. Was so accurate. That the modern Chinese Bible. Today is still. More than 90 percent. The same. As Robert Morrison's translation. Of Chinese Bible. Then. In 1853.

A 19 year old. British doctor. Hudson Taylor. Arrived to China. And he started to share. The gospel all over China. And he started to call. Young men and women. Come. To China. China needs you. There is a nation.

The largest nation of the world. And they have not yet heard. The gospel of Jesus Christ. And the China inland mission. Was established. And very soon. Hundreds and thousands. Of missionaries. Came to China.

At the peak. 1949. When the revolution. Was completed in China. There were more than. 10 ,700. Western missionaries. Who were working in China. There were more than 360. Different kind of. Christian churches in China.

I don't think. That you even come up. To that number in America. Even today. 360 different kind of Christian churches. And. The missionaries. They did a tremendous work. In China. They laid a foundation.

For the gospel of Jesus Christ. They gave. Bibles to the people. To read. And they were ministering. To people. And they were helping the sick. And the poor people. And many things. In the society. Were run by the missionaries.

For 100 years. Missionaries were working hard. In China. But then one day. Arrived. When God said. Thank you very much. You faithful workers. Now it's time for you. To retire. And none of these. 10 ,700 missionaries.

Agree on this. They said Lord. I rather die. Than I leave China. There was nothing wrong. In their work. Their ministry. But the problem was. That the Chinese society. Chinese people. They believed. That Jesus is a western God.

He is a big giant. With white. Dead like skin. Big nose. Very very dangerous God. And the people. On the streets in China. They rejected Jesus Christ. We do not need. Western God. And I don't know where they got it.

To my understanding. Jesus was not born in Washington D .C. Or in any other country. Western country. But that's what they think. And there was a saying in China. In that time. One more Christian Chinese.

Equals one less Chinese. So the border was very tight. You are either Christian. Or Chinese. You cannot combine this. And was this good news. For kingdom of God. No. This is the one and only reason. That God.

Wanted to change. Everything in China. Something have to. Be changed. And it happened. Like it's written in the book of Isaiah. Behold. I will do. A new thing. Anytime. God start to do something new. It is very shaking.

It is very painful. Because. It is something. That nobody really know. What is coming. And this was the same. In China. The missionaries. They could not believe. That anything. Of kingdom of God. Can happen in China.

After their depart. After they left China. The only thing. They were doing. More than 10 ,000 missionaries. They were praying. In many locations. Throughout the far east. God. If you by the mercy open the door.

Back to China again. We will be going back. And we will start from zero again. There are no Christians. Left in China. The wind of atheism. And communism. Have destroyed. Every single believer. But we are ready to go back.

God open. The bamboo. Doors for us to go. And God didn't answer. This question. This prayer. It was honest prayer. I remember in 1950s. After I was born. And I was at the church. Church meeting. After another.

We were praying. God open the door. Back to China. And he didn't answer. This prayer. Because God has decided. To introduce. Chinese Jesus Christ. To everybody. In China. Not a white. American Jesus. A Jesus that every.

Chinese can receive. As his lord and savior. And in order. This to happen. Everything the missionaries. Had done in China. Have to disappear. And that was painful. First the missionaries. Expelled. All the church buildings.

Were destroyed. So totally. That still 30 years later. 1978. They were not even one building. In whole China. Where it had a cross on the roof. Or inside. Cross on the wall. And people were worshiping Jesus.

Not even one church left. All the hospitals. All the bible seminars. All the schools. That the missionaries had built. With hundreds of millions. Of mission dollars. Everything was destroyed. And not only that.

All the bibles. Were burned. In public bonfires. All the Christian literature. Were completely burned. All the Christian music. Was destroyed. And all the national pastors. And evangelists. And leaders.

They were arrested. And sentenced to labor camp. To be reeducated through hard labor. For 20 plus years. And this happened in every location. Everywhere in China. I can share an example. There is a city at the east coast of China.

With name Wenzhou. And most of you ever have heard that city. I don't know how you missed it. It has more than 8 million people. 1953. 49 pastors. From city of Wenzhou. They were sentenced to the iron mines.

To the labor camps in Manchuria. In far north east China. And 20 years later. 1973. Only one brother. Came back home. 48 died. During the coming 20 years. Now you think that how is it possible that there is even a church in China today.

If everything disappears like that. Now I come to the good news. The church of Jesus Christ is not a building. And is actually much cheaper to run a church when you don't have a building. And the church of Jesus Christ is not depending whether you have a pastor or not.

It doesn't harm to have a pastor. But the pastor is not the church. And the church is not this pastor's church. It's the church of Jesus Christ. And the truly church of Jesus Christ are you and I. Living stones.

One by one. And every brick have the same size. It's perfect. And they fit together in this beautiful structure. The body of Jesus Christ. And we have learned in China that it's good that the church have Bibles.

It's big help. Jesus is more important than Bible. And Holy Spirit is more important than Bible. With Bible alone it's very difficult to keep together the church of Jesus Christ. But if you have Jesus with you and you have Holy Spirit and then as a cream on the cake you also have a Bible then you will be successful.

So this start to happen the church in China before revolution they were sitting as nice at the church as you are. Sitting tonight. Listening. And when they say let's all stand up everybody stand up. Let us all say hallelujah.

Everybody say hallelujah. Let us all pray. Everybody pray. They were doing exactly. Because as a missionaries we have a tendency to keep birth to spiritual babies who look alike. It means that the Mennonites they keep birth in China to wonderful Mennonite Chinese.

And the Lutherans they keep birth to wonderful Lutheran Chinese babies. And the Pentecostals they just kicked out wonderful Pentecostal Chinese. And the whole spectrum of Kingdom of God. And it was so strong identity that if you would be walking somewhere in north east of China and you would see a little tiny.

This is an average height of a Chinese. So I'm really long man in China. And you would see an 80 years old grandmother. And you would go to this wonderful woman with no teeth and she's smiling to you.

And you ask her who are you? How do you do? And she would say I'm a German Lutheran. And you immediately there's something wrong. At least two things are wrong. She does not look like German. And there's very little Lutheran on her.

But it happened to be a Lutheran missionary who shared the gospel and baptized her. So she became Lutheran. It was good news for her. But not for the rest of the nation. And God wanted to bring everything down and build up a Chinese church of Jesus Christ.

Where Jesus Christ is the head. And the believers are the body. And in order this to happen and it was a sad thing. The missionaries were not able to take one step backwards. They were always pushing forward.

And that's why God sent them to retirement. 1978, the first delegation of western Christians get permission to come to Beijing. That was about two years after the death of Mao Zedong. And his wife was leading the country together with those three other men.

And when these Christian leaders were talking to her, they were asking what about Christianity in China? And she started to laugh. And she said, Oh, in China, we have sent God to History Museum. And we have also sent only one Bible left in China.

One Chinese Bible. And that is in the History Museum. If you want to see one Chinese Bible, you go to History Museum. And this was only about 30 years ago. So total was the absence of word of God in China.

But we come with good news. Missionaries left behind 800 ,000 Chinese believers. With no spiritual fathers, with no churches, with no organization, with no Bibles, with no anything. Just simple fearful believers of Jesus Christ.

But they learned the lesson number one for spiritual life. They learned to pray. Because you cannot sit and pray anymore, because there are no seats to sit on. The church is gone. The building is gone.

The books are gone. The preachers are gone. All what is left is my personal faith to my Father in Heaven. And they started to pray and bombard Heaven. 800 ,000 laser beams were hitting the heart of the Father.

And it started to burn. And our God, our Father in Heaven, He started to do the God stuff. The God's way. And what's that? Impossible with man, but not with God. With God, all things are possible. And this started to happen.

Supernatural miracles started to happen in China. These simple believers, whatever problem they had, they didn't have a phone number or an address to a pastor to go and ask, what am I supposed to do? I need some counseling.

I have problems here, problems there. Actually, until today the account for counseling expenses at the church in China is still zero. The believers have learned to pray to God and ask God to help them.

And God started to answer. And people started to see Brother Yun is one good example, not the only one, one out of ten thousands of testimonies from China that how he together with his mother and the rest of his family when they were praying around his father who was dying in terminal cancer, had only two weeks left to live, they prayed and called upon the name of Jesus and the power of God hit his father and he stood up completely healed and restored from terminal cancer.

And the whole family came to faith in Jesus. And the same miracle happened here. And tonight I have good news from China. Every month in China today, more than one million people come into Kingdom of God.

Every month one million people. They make their life best decision. I don't believe communism anymore. I don't believe that God does not exist. I believe that Jesus is alive. And they received Jesus Christ.

And the number of Christians in China has been increasing dramatically. So today, according to the government figures these are all secret government figures. They would never allow this to be publicized in China.

But we know this from these government documents. When this new president, Mr. Xi came to power he, last year at the end of the year, he got reports from all the provinces about situation in different parts of China.

And he was told that there are at least 160 million followers of Jesus Christ in Mainland China today. And then they started to prophesy and it's quite interesting when atheist, communist, they start to prophesy anything can come.

So they said if this continues in China for 15 more years one out of three people in China will be born again follower of Jesus Christ. Amen? That is actually more than 500 million people. That's more than one half of America's population in the kingdom of God.

Now why is this happening in China? Why is it not happening here? There are several answers to this question but I am answering that with another question. What do you think if there is a country where every person who is living today have heard at least thousand times the name of Jesus?

And have heard the gospel hundreds of times. His only problem is he has not received the gospel. And when you have a country and many countries where people have not yet heard about Jesus even one time.

What is more important for Jesus? To continue to speak to people who does not want to listen? Or to get everybody introduced to the greatest gift of God in Jesus Christ. And I believe that is part of the honor.

And there are many countries still in the world where people have not yet even one time heard name of Jesus. So in this revival that is going on in China it has been going on already 31 years. It started 1983.

And it started with tremendous persecution. The persecution was so heavy in the beginning of 1980s that every leader that I know of who was active already those days they actually already prepared a place where they said I want to be buried here when they get hold of me and they execute me.

So they visited graveyards all over China and any place where they knew there are western missionaries who have been buried in this graveyard. They wanted to be buried together with these western missionaries.

So tough was the beginning of the revival in China. And still today no matter what the government propagate from China it is life dangerous to be a messenger of the gospel and to be a bible teacher in China today.

You always have to run for your lives if you want to continue your ministry. And if they caught you they will throw you to prison. That is for sure. And this is the country where we come from and you would think that people are really sad in China.

They have a long face and they just need comfort and they need deliverance every day and they need compassion and when they are singing nobody is singing everybody is wailing and mourning and just in tears.

I have never seen so happy people like I see at the church in China. We would really need that makeup. All of us. They look like the most happiest people on the earth. And when I ask them why is it possible yesterday you were still in the prison.

They were torturing you. Now you are out. And you are like you just won a lottery. Five million dollars. You are so happy. And I said how is that possible? Are you faking? And he said no. Joy is a decision.

It has nothing to do with your feelings. You can decide I am happy. And it really starts to feel also in your bones. So Jesus said don't be worried in the world because I am greater than the world. You will overcome because I have overcome.

You just follow me. And with joy they carry their cross every day. They don't want to look shortcuts. Is there any little bit more easy way for me? Is there any way that I don't need to climb over that mountain?

Maybe I can do a tunnel through the mountain or find a shortcut. No. They go wherever the spirit of God leads them. And they continue to share the good news. Because a person who is joyful and have peace he has something to share to this world who is filled with fear and don't have any destiny.

The Back to Jerusalem Vision

And not only that God is working mightily in China. In the middle of this revival God has started to speak to his church that the gospel is still on the way. It started from Jerusalem and it has gone around the globe and now come to China, to South Korea, Indonesia and even India today.

But it's still on the way the last leg from China back to Jerusalem. And God has started to speak to them about this the back to Jerusalem vision. And the Chinese believers they believe that God has preserved this last passage for the gospel from China to Jerusalem for believers that are arising from far east.

A mighty tsunami of kingdom of God that will go over the house of Buddha, the house of Hindu and the house of Muhammad all the way back to Jerusalem. And they are so excited about everywhere I go to China today and we are gathered as workers in the harvest they are just praising God.

Thank you God for this calling. Thank you God that we are able to go to Saudi Arabia. Thank you God we can go to North Korea. We can go to Iran. We can go to Pakistan. We can go to Syria. We can go to Yemen.

We can go to Jordan. We will go to every nation between China and Jerusalem. And we will share the gospel of Jesus Christ. And the same Jesus who changed China will change these nations. And that's why we are here this weekend together with brother Yun.

We've been traveling now in west already I think 16 years together. And everywhere challenging believers why don't we work together and get the work done so that the gospel will come in power back to Jerusalem.

So that the great commission is going to be fulfilled. And when the saints from the Middle East and Central Asia and from Far East are marching into Jerusalem then the second coming of Jesus is at the door.

This is what we believe and we hope that after this weekend you also start to believe that there is something out of God in this. And you start to pray. And I already want to warn you when you start to pray for back to Jerusalem be aware it may hit you.

God wants to change the reality within this generation. And he wants to bring every person to obedience to the gospel. And now we are going to watch a little three minute video and it's called Bless Your Enemies.

And we are going to introduce two countries where the Chinese missionaries are working today. Two countries that has really been a headache for Barack Obama. One is North Korea. I don't know how many good news he's been able to share with you from North Korea but tonight you will hear good news from North Korea.

God is saving people through Chinese missionaries right now and right inside North Korea. The Chinese missionaries are the only one who can freely move inside that country. And they are all messengers of Jesus Christ.

The other country we are going to share about is Iran. 80 million people who are totally sick and tired of Islam. I was just a few months ago in Tehran and I met many friends in Tehran and this is what the believers say to me.

There is an underground church in Iran and the brother said if you only as a believer can work with yourself so that you come over the fear and you just share what you have experienced with Jesus to anyone on the street.

100 out of 100 they will say I want to receive Jesus into my life. So tired is that country in Islam. The Islam has totally raped the country and has stolen everything from that country. And there is Ayatollahs who are in power.

They are punishing people. It's just so different to walk in Tehran or any other country or city in Iran to see this religious police. How they see they are measuring the woman how much of their hair is covered and if it's not the proper place immediately they will be punished on the spot.

And they are measuring all different kind of things. It's going all the time everywhere. But at the same time the gospel of Jesus Christ is now getting into that country through Chinese missionaries. And years to come you will hear messages what God is doing in Iran.

So let's try if we can get this to work.

Today believers are sitting in prisons across the globe for their faith in Jesus Christ. In China churches are raided on a regular basis. In North Korea the mere crime of possessing a Bible can result in execution.

Believers in Iran are whisked away in the middle of the night and thrown into prison. Where they are subjected to torture even before they are given a trial. Iran. China and North Korea are not only a threat to Christians they are a threat to countries with religious freedom.

Threats from North Korea's nuclear program has the world community questioning how to bring security. China with one of the highest numbers of unquestioned executions in the world together with its growing military and economic strength is proving to be an up and coming super power.

Iran is not content with flexing the muscle of their nuclear program. But they are obsessed with the complete and absolute annihilation of Israel and anyone else who gets in their way. The world community has spent billions of dollars on preventative measures and sanctions to address this global threat.

Despite gathering the best experts in their field and pooling together every resource to resolve this issue it remains outstanding. But God is at work amongst the nations. China is now seeing one of the largest revivals in history.

In Iran thousands are coming to Christ. In North Korea Christians are standing strong instead of running in fear. God is also raising up a humble new generation in China which is reaching out to North Korea and Iran with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

They are marching into enemy territory between the borders of China and Jerusalem taking the land for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords calling their vision back to Jerusalem. So perhaps the world's governments are fighting the wrong fight.

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the cosmic powers over this present darkness. For generations the nations have been battling for their own agenda and in their own strength but to what end?

In the 1950s thousands of troops have been stationed on the border of North Korea. Has this brought about change? Since 1979 sanction after sanction has been imposed on Iran. Has the situation improved?

Jesus told us in the Sermon on the Mount you have heard that it was said you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy but I say to you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

What if instead of bombs we send Bibles? What if instead of soldiers we send servants of the living God? What if instead of starting war with our enemy we send the best gift of love known to mankind? Bless your enemies.
