Life and Eternity bring a challenge, a message, and division in the nations of men. For only one message, one Savior, and one way to Salvation is found in Jesus Christ. Sword nor favor, hate nor war shall bring heaven to earth. Only through the #SonofGod, the #Almighty found in Revelation chapter one shall bring in the #only #Righteous and #True #KingdomofGod. Know that this is both a comfort and a warning to all peoples and nations. The #judgment of #God is upon them as is the curse for all who reject #Jesus #Christ are indeed cursed. Meanwhile, however many #believers around the world work to spread the #savingknowledge and #grace of #JesusChrist. Many are those former Muslims, Hindu's, and #multitudes from every nation on earth shall sit in on the #marriagesupper of the #Lamb. #LifeandEternity

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I say to you, greetings, Dana, how are you doing tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm doing good. How you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I'm doing good? Little slow on the draw, but here
I am.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So, what's going on in the world? Anything interesting? Well,
it's always something.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You know, there is a lot of stuff going on.
But right now we're dealing with upgrade on some of
our equipment.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's always fun.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, And that's what we've been doing, and we have
been able to do some shows because we're trying to
get all this done in between everything, and even tonight's
(04:15):
show we had a few technical issues, but we've managed
to get through them, thank the Lord. And you know,
the thing but it is is that no matter what
man does, no matter what we do, the persecution of
(04:38):
the Brethren overseas continues, and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's tough day in, day out, day and day out.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Never quits, never stops, and so yeah, that's one of
those things you just can't do anything about. And upfront,
(05:13):
we're doing something we've been doing for a long time.
We pick out an article. This is one that was
just published, Assurance of Life Versus Eternity. This has introduction
to it and then it goes into a psalm. These
(05:33):
are psalms that I write, and then I've got them
in little quatrains or little groups, and in between we
have scripture. And I've been doing this for a lot
of years and I decided to add more of them
(05:53):
to our websites. So this is Assurance of Life Versus Eternity.
You can find this over a Dana Glennsmith dot com
and all you have to do is go there and
look for the article. You find it right on the front.
The assurance of life is always on the line for
all people. It is simply your choice. Not one other
(06:18):
person can answer for your soul, spirit and whether you
will find heaven or hell. In addition, the way we
live on earth, in our physical bodies makes an important
part of where we will end up. Scripture and our
Lord Jesus Christ revealed all that to us. In addition,
(06:38):
the apostles took the anointing message and the command of
the Lord to take this gospel to the ends of
the earth. Only in today's society and globalist high tech
world does a people believe their own ways do not
matter in the decision as to where they will spend eternity. Americans,
(06:59):
especially the younger generations, live recklessly, as do a number
of older adults. Make sure that you don't ignore this
part of your life. The point is to make sure
(07:19):
your life is in line with the commandments of Jesus Christ,
our Lord. And you have repented of your sins, and
we have a scripture here per Sean five nine through twelve.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of
God is greater for this is the witness of God,
(07:42):
which he has testified of his son. He that believeth
on the Son of God has the witness in himself.
He that believeth not God hath made him a liar,
because he believeth not the record that God gave of
his son. And this is the record that God has
(08:04):
given to us eternal life. And this life is in
his son. He that hath the Son hath life. He
that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Now that is something you need to remember. Amen, Time
and eternity. This is a psalm that is within this
(08:26):
particular post. It was written by myself, the watchman, Dane G. Smith.
Out of your bellies shall flow living water. That's what
the Lord said. Time goes by and eternity takes it in,
(08:47):
Eternity expands again, demanding more. Time. Man is born and
he dies. Between those two is life made of small
segments Isaiah fifty seven fifteen. For thus saith the high
(09:08):
and lofty one that inhabiteth Eternity, whose name is Holy.
I dwell in the high and holy place with him.
Also that is of a contride and humble spirit. To
revive the spirit of the humble to revive the heart
of the contrite. Once we call this time. Each moment,
(09:32):
each second proceeds each other, cascading towards the inevitable, when
time shall be no more, when eternity, though forgotten, will
rise at the very veritable demise, that which even time,
(09:52):
eternity or hell cannot stop except the Lord Jesus Christ,
for death and hell are swallowed up in his victory.
And this has been just a portion of a new
post on Dana Glennsmith dot com and WARRENDESUSA dot com,
(10:16):
The Assurance of Life Versus Eternity. This was written by myself,
the Watchman, Dane Glenn Smith. The Watchman Radio or the
Warren Radio shows are hosted by the Watchman Dana G.
Smith and Tower, who is co host. This is the
(10:38):
WIBR Warren Radio websites and ministries and in depth Biblical teaching,
preaching and warning agency. In these last days, we are
about the work in ministry of the WIBR Warren Radio
(10:58):
which heralds the test stimony of Jesus Christ, through the
faith of Jesus Christ, by the mercy of God our Father,
through his grace extended flowing from the love of God
to all people everywhere, commanding everyone to repent. Amen. Amen,
(11:25):
and we're going to be talking about Nigerian and I
believe we could have another post. We've been having a
lot of stuff on Nigeria Benews state. This week we're
launching an emergency relief program. This comes from open DOORSUS
(11:51):
dot org for thousands of people who were left with
nothing after violent attacks and Bnu State, Nigeria. Nigeria has
been hit really really hard time and time again. The
people were chased from their homes in early June when
(12:11):
Islamic militant Polani herders attacked multiple villages in the region.
By the time the attackers left, more than two hundred
people were dead and thousands were displaced from their homes.
Most of the victims were Christians. Shortly after the attacks,
(12:32):
an Open Doors team met with some of the survivors.
What can you tell these people at that point in
time that will calm their minds and make them feel
Goddess there, says Virtue, an Open Doors field worker. The
only thing I could do was pray for them because
(12:52):
I had no words. What do you say? Yeah? And
that the truth? Yep. We were able to help three
hundred of the affected families with immediate aid, but after
talking with local Christians, we see the need as much
bigger and right now you can help. Every one hundred
(13:15):
and thirty five dollars can provide emergency relief for a
family of five to eight believers in Bnu State. Through
your gifts and prayers, we hope to provide emergency aid,
shelter for fifteen hundred families, give Bibles to five thousand people,
(13:35):
and help with trauma care and protection services for nine
thousand people. Nigeria is the most violent place of earth
on earth to be a follower of Jesus. This latest
attack is one example of that. But your gift today
can help meet the needs of these displace Christians and
(13:58):
show them they're not alone. Will you help today? That
comes from Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US, and
you can give your best gift today. Just go to
opendoors dot us and if you can donate a little
bit to help them. One hundred and thirty five dollars
(14:22):
can provide relief for a family five to eight.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's opendoorsus dot org, open doorsus dot org.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You know, we've had so many stories out of Nigeria.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's so tragic. It's very disturbing.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It is, and it's all recent. You know, it comes
one right after another. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yes? This story is a three part blueprint for freedom
from slavery to freedom, and this letter came to us
from Brian orm the President and CEO of Global Christian Relief.
Pakistan Brick Kiln traps thousands of Christians in modern day slavery.
(15:13):
If an unexpected expense comes up, then they're caught in
a debt they can never repay. That's why we've developed
a three part blueprint for lasting freedom. And this is
what freedom looks like. Last week we shared the stark
reality of Pakistan's Brick Kiln and our goal to free
(15:35):
one hundred Christian families from bondage this year. Today, I
invite you into powerful, focused prayer for these families. During
my recent visit to Pakistan, I witnessed something remarkable. These believers,
despite their circumstance, Despite their circumstances, maintain an unshakable prayer
(15:58):
life that humbles an inspires me. When I ask Khalid,
after getting freed from the kilns after fifteen years of
grueling work, what he wants to pray for next? I
got an unexpected answer. Instead of focusing on his own
family's needs, he said, we will pray to the Lord
(16:21):
that he will also help all those people who are
under debt so they can also be released. And you
can go to Global Christian Relief dot org videos and
three part blueprint for freedom. And what they're doing is
(16:43):
they get them out of the bondage. They set them
up to work in to have their own business. And
three they do counseling to keep them out of the
debt and to save money and be free of that
bondage forever. And here are five specific ways to pray
(17:05):
for bonded workers in Pakistan this week. For the children
in the kilns that their futures are blessed and their
spirits protected. For our local partners negotiating with kiln owners
that they find favor and wisdom. For Christian families facing oppression,
(17:25):
that they stay strong in their faith. For the families
who were freed last year, for their continued success with freedom,
and for the Christian community in Pakistan to be strengthened
with each family freed. We've seen God answer these prayers
like he did for a sid and Rebeah, who was
(17:49):
not only who not only gained freedom, but now run
their own business and have land where they plan to
build a home, or marryam a widow who used her
fresh start to create a better future for her children.
Will you join us in prayer for one hundred more
families waiting for their miracle standing together in faith. Brian Orme,
(18:15):
President and CEO of Global Christian Relief. Yeah, that's a
good story. Thank God they're working on that and I
hope they accomplish their goal and more to friends to
free the hundred families this year.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You know, I'm still in awe how the nations of
men can sit around do nothing and allow the slaughter
of all these beliefs.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
That's right, that's just insane.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Next, this is another one from Nigeria. This comes from
Global Christian Relief dot org. Followers of Jesus in Nigeria,
the most dangerous country for Christians, know that their faith
(19:17):
could cost them their homes, their safety, and their lives.
When more than six thousand Christians have been killed in
Northern Nigeria in the last five years and more than
two million have lost their homes following terrorist attacks. With
(19:46):
those kind of statistics, it would be easy for persecuted
Christians in Nigeria to lose hope. Yet many of the
displays Christians that Global Christian Relief met have made the
remarkable decision to choose hope over despair and joy over sorrow.
(20:08):
They shared that worship and the persecuted Nigerian church can
bring hope and encouragement even in the face of terror
and death. You know, I'm in awe when you look.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
At him, I know they're amazing how they make their
faith and stand strong in the Lord.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
When Brian Ramy, CEO of GCR Global Christian Relief, spoke
with persecuted and displaced believers in Nigeria, he was moved
by their boldness and resiliency. The songs I heard in
Nigeria were more than melodies. They were anthems of defiance
(20:56):
against the darkness, he said. In a place where or
faith can cost everything, their worship is a courageous reminder
that their hope in Jesus remains unshaken and their spirit unconquered.
You know, I just I love these people.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands,
writes King David in Psalm sixty three four no stranger
to persecution himself, David chose to lift his voice and
sing words of praise to the Lord in the midst
(21:39):
of his hardships, just as many Nigerian believers do today.
Worship songs often provide a source of hope and encouragement
to the persecuted Christians, some of whom shared their stories
and their songs with us. So you can go to
Global Christian Relief God, or to donate now and help
(22:02):
your brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen. Yes, then you
know what's amazing. We have a story out of Pakistan,
(22:25):
and let me begin and then I'll tell you the
name of it. This was something out of my reach,
but thank you for believing in me and giving me
an opportunity to make my dream a reality. These are
the words of Tania, a computer science student at a
Christian college in Lahore, Pakistan. Well, this story is about
(22:48):
pakistan Christian students who dream of getting a degree of
some kind in order to support themselves and their families.
And Tanya is a computer science student. She's a young woman.
She's one of eighty five Christian students from impoverished backgrounds
(23:14):
to benefit from a Barnabas funded scholarship made possible through
your generosity. Because of your donations, Tanya can now get
the education needed to better her future. Can you believe that?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
That's amazing? I'm glad thank the Lord for this. Yes, scholarships.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
In Pakistan, where Christians are a small minority, many Christian
students that mainstream stools get bullied by students and teachers alike,
treated unfairly because of their faith, and even pressure to
convert to Islam. Christians in Pakistan commonly work only the
(24:00):
lowest paid and dirtiest jobs. Many cannot afford to send
their children to school at all. This perpetuates a psychle
poverty and the literacy from which it is almost impossible
to escape. Barnabas funded scholarships enable young Christians in Pakistan
(24:21):
to get an education in a loving, supportive Christian environment,
where their faith can flourish alongside their learning. These children,
previously marginalized and impoverished, now have the opportunity to pursue
(24:44):
higher paying career paths and create bright futures for themselves. Isaac,
another one of the students, lost his only means of
support when his father died. By God's grace, you have
given him an opportunity that he wouldn't have had otherwise.
Thank you, said Isaac for investing in my life and
(25:08):
empowering me with quality education. So you can go to
barnabas Aid dot org to donate and help your persecuted
brothers and sisters in Christ. You can also find out
more about how you can help your brethren in Christ
Jesus overseas. When you think about how they are.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Treated, it's unbelievable how other people can treat you know,
each other so poorly.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, they're cruel and.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Wicked towards another human being. Is just beyond my comprehension.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah it is. It is really okay.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Hey, this is our prayer force this week from Global
Christian Relief and it's father grow the church through kiln
side faith. Even while Enslaved, Raheel and Ruth served as
church elders encouraging others in their faith. Pray that their
(26:22):
bold witness will inspire a movement of faith within oppressed communities.
That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness
does not overcome it. John one five, Chapter John chapter one,
verse five. Yeah, I love that verse, the darkness cannot
be overcome because the light of Christ shines so bright. Yeah, well,
(26:51):
be sure to get your copy of The Rising, a
Christian fiction thriller by The Watchman Dana G. Smith. Everything
was okay, or so they thought, a truth so unbelievable
it took a miracle to fight back. Don't miss The Rising.
The Rising continues the story of Mac, a former Black
(27:14):
Op sniper, and details the takeover of America. Hidden within
the storyline of The Rising is the truth of what's
happening in America now. And you can get your copy
of The Rising on Amazon, Barnes and Noble Books a
million Ingram walmart Angus and Robertson, and The Rising ebook
(27:34):
can be found on Google Play. And this story comes
to us from persecution dot org, Nicaraguan Pastor Trials and Faith.
Before we dwelve into this story, we remind you to
(27:56):
visit persecution dot org, home of International Christian Concern, and
donate to help alleviate the suffering, sorrow and death caused
by these who attack them. He and twelve others associated
with the evangelical Christian organization Mountain Gateway were charged with
(28:18):
money laundering and other spurious charges. On March nineteenth, twenty
twenty four, the Fifth District Criminal Court sentenced ruth Eurethea
to twelve years in prison and find him eighty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I know that's just astronomical. Where would you get that
kind of money. The others arrested also received prison sentences
and hefty fines. Their lawyers were barred from speaking with
them or examining any files related to the case. A
month before their arrest, two hundred fifty thousand Nicaraguans attended
(29:02):
a Mountain Gateway worship gathering. Members of the Sandinista National
Liberation Front the SNLF, led by President Daniel Ortega, considered
the event a threat, as Christian beliefs often challenges the
snlf's effort to merge Marxism with Christianity. Nicaraguan Christians also
(29:28):
opposed the political party's attempt to oppress free speech and
religious freedom. Since twenty eighteen, Ortega and his wife Rosalia
Mario have targeted religious organizations, the Catholic Church and whoever
speaks against the government and seeks to influence the country.
(29:54):
Eur Ruthia Rudia looks back on his nine in prison
as a time that stretched his faith and made him
depend on God like never before. In La Modello prison,
the Mountain Gateway pastors and staff were given dirty water
to drink and occasionally ate garbage. They weren't allowed to
(30:19):
see their families or possess a Bible. Still, they prayed, fasted,
and ministered to one another. Eventually more prisons were added
to their cell, and they shared the Gospel with them.
The pastors even led some police officers to Christ. They
the police officers believed they were going to silence our
(30:42):
mouths and put out our fire by putting us in
that place. Eureita said, we were in a maximum We
were in a maximum security cell. But the fire didn't
get out. The fire didn't go out. The flames got
bigger than the problems. Towards the end of their imprisonment,
(31:04):
Urutia said he felt that God was encouraging him that
his story would soon change. Then the gate Mountain Gateway
pastors and staff were released with another one hundred and
twenty four prisoners. The Lord had told me, don't be afraid,
Jose Luise, I will blow winds from the north and
(31:27):
your chains will break, and the doors will open. That's
what Urutia recalled.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah. Today Euretya and his family are rebuilding their lives
in Austin, Texas. And to read more stories, you can
visit the ICC newsroom. For it interviews, please email press
at persecution dot org. Yes I didn't, Okay, Now back
(32:00):
to you, Dana.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
We are in my animar. They say that the war
and my animar began before many were born. That's current
day today.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Since nineteen forty eight used to be known as Burma,
but that country fell into arm conflict and it's never
been resolved. You know, some people just has to kill
and kill again and kill again.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That's seventy what seventy seven years ago? Right?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
And this is intensified, only underscore intensified since military coup
in February of twenty twenty one, and many Christian families
are suffering the consequences. The communities of Christian majority Careen
(33:15):
State are among those suffering the consequences of war and
violent persecution. You know, there just must be a lot
of god awful hate out there.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
It is, there is, and it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
The military government's bombardment of ethnic minority Christians has been
likened to a genocide. Well like in my Yeah, I
believe that it's more more than likened to it. It is. Yeah.
Think of the urgent humanitarian needs as the result of
(34:01):
what is going on there. Among the most keenly felt
are medical needs, which is usually absolutely number one besides
food and clothing. So you need medical and because of
(34:27):
the civil war in Myanamar, the violence grows and grows
and spreads and spreads, and as it does, there's less
and less access for healthcare, hospitals, clothes, medical infrastructure is lacking,
(34:49):
and doctors or medics from other countries cannot reach these remote,
high risk areas.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Many are left suffering needlessly from treatable illnesses. Women die
in childbirth at an learning rate.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
That shouldn't even happen, that shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Be going on at all, And that's a painful way
to go. And so you can help. And so they
want to train too, associate positions to serve in this
(35:34):
careen state, a Christian majority area of the country, and
they're going to be trained in pre natal care Sesirian
sections for at risk mothers and God willing more associate
positions will be trained in the future. By helping to
(36:00):
fund all this training, you can give help and hope
to hundreds, possibly thousands. Lord God and Heavenly Father, please
bless the training of these two associate physicians. We pray that,
(36:22):
once qualified, they will be a blessing to many people
who would otherwise lack the medical care that they need.
Thank you for the willingness of our brothers and sisters
to serve in this way. We pray in the name
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now if you
(36:44):
want to direct a gift there, I'm looking at something here.
(37:12):
It takes money, and I don't have the church here,
the people to contact.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I think it's uh hm, let me see.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't see it.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
I wonder if it's uh persecution dot org.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, at any rate, remember my anamar. I'm sorry, but
that's not on there. It almost.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I'm wondering if it's isn't persecuted dot persecution dot org
International Christian Concern.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It could be or it could be.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Barnabas aid, Yeah, make your donation to seven five Dash
seven sixty three.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, Barnabas aide dot org Persecution dot org Global Christian
Relief dot org. These are just some of the ones
that you can contact. Now. The next one is talking
(38:28):
about the Islamic say state that is in the Democratocratic
Republic of the Congo. This comes from Persecution dot org
International Christian Concern. Now there's also an organization called a
(38:50):
LED the arm Conflict Location and Events Data Group, and
they had focus on the Rwandan backed M twenty three
rebel group fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo. And
(39:11):
what has happened, Pewterer resources are being dedicated to combat
the Islamic State and one of the reasons probably is
the Islamic State is pretty tough. So the Islamic State
Central Africa Province, better known as the Allied Democratic Forces ADF.
(39:33):
Now we know of the ADF, but if there's such
a misnumer as calling them democratic and so they've taken
advantage of the relative inattention to launch increased attacks on civilians.
(39:58):
And in February they did an operation and they killed
seventy Christians in the Lebera area church. And ADF is
one of the many African terrorist organizations that is aligned
with the Islamic State. And there is all kinds of
(40:19):
issues coming out of this. It's been going on for
a long time, and so the Jihatis Islamic State movement
is still there even though people think it's gone. It
stands out among the countries one hundred and twenty militant
groups for its brutal tactics and explicit animosity towards Christianity. Well,
(40:47):
their hell fire is going to be the worst of
them all.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Can you believe that? One hundred and twenty militant groups?
Speaker 1 (40:59):
I know? And so, according to a slid the eighty
F attacks on civilians the first quarter of twenty twenty
five had sixty eight percent more fatility fatalities than the
(41:23):
previous quarter. It's the second deadliest quarter of civilian targeting
by the EIGHTF since they began recording data on the
EIGHTYF in nineteen ninety seven, and they were verified and
(41:43):
recorded at least four hundred and fifty deaths among unarmed civilians. Unarmed, Yes,
how hard is it to kill an unarmed person? I
have nothing but contempt for these people doing this to
innocent people. Well, I'll tell you there is a judge,
(42:08):
and you ain't going to be getting your gun and
your rifles and your bullets out to save you, because
your butt's going to be his. While the twenty three
militant group is known to operate under the auspices of
the Rwandan government, and of course they don't feel bound
(42:31):
by anything signed by the Rwandan government. They want to
continue to make war. You know, all this tells me
it's just a frickin mess. It is. They have you
and peacekeepers in the country and they're working to protect
hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, but have experienced increasing difficulty. Yeah, yeah,
(42:52):
because the rebels are coming. The UN mission known as
Manusco they begin withdrawing in twenty twenty four. They've been
operating in the country for more than thirteen years. They
(43:16):
had nearly eighteen thousand personnel in including fourteen thousand troops.
So guess what they're doing. They're leaving. So you can
go to persecution dot org International Christian Concern in other words,
that's who it is, International Christian Concern at persecution dot
(43:36):
org and check out all their places that they're helping.
There's more articles you can read and you can donate
there to help the believers over in the drc K Tower.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Okay, this story comes to us the International Christian concer
Persecution dot org It's India within six months. The government
of mahar Maharashtra in India's planning to investigate and demolish
(44:14):
hundreds of churches that it claims are unauthorized structures, most
of which are in tribal regions. The state is also
planning to enact a stringent anti conversion law to curb
religious conversions carried out through inducement or core coertion. Maharashtra
(44:38):
Revenue Minister chen Duskar announced the plans on June ninth
as he addressed concerns raised by several members of the
Legislative Assembly about alleged forced conversions in the state, and
he said that once the anti conversion law is enacted,
no one will dare to undertake religious conversion conversions in
(45:02):
the state. The minister, however, did not share the details
of the draft law. The state of Maharashtra I'm slaughtering
these names and I'm sorry, is ruled by the Hindu
nationalist BJP party, which also holds power at the federal level.
(45:23):
If the anti conversion laws passed, Maharashtra will become the
thirteenth Indian state which with such a plate law in place.
Stringent anti conversion laws were promptly implemented in northern states
(45:43):
after the BJP came to power. Utter Pradish has the
most stringent laws in Maharashtra. The issue of course conversions
to Christianity was brought to the forefront forefront by an
up A legislator who highlighted the proliferation of alleged unauthorized
(46:08):
church constructions in the tribal dominated Duel and Nandobar districts
where conversions are reportedly being facilitated through allurements. Joining enough
were other legislators who alleged the tribes tribes that tribals
(46:35):
were being converted to Christianity through illegal churches built using
foreign funding from the promotion for the promotion of the religion.
The legislators also demanded a mechanism to bar converted tribals
from availing benefits under Welsh fare schemes and meant for
secluded casts, but the legislators did not specify how many
(46:59):
ill churches have been built or where exactly the funding
came from. The State Cabinet will discuss the issue of
foreign funding, the sources of the funding, the quantum of funding,
the existing acts by the state and the Center to
act in these cases. We intend to bring a robust
(47:22):
law to curb the cases of conversion, and it will
be brought after due deliberation. And since nineteen ninety five,
ICC has served the global persecuted Church through a three
pronged approach of assistance, advocacy, and awareness. ICC exists to
(47:43):
bandage the wounds of persecuted churches, of persecuted Christians, and
to build the church in the toughest part of the world. Bohy,
that's horrible. What's going on there? They want to stop
They're doing everything they can in all these countries to
stop Christianity, to stop christ but it won't work.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
You know, we haven't seen it this bad ever, No,
not ever, And it just absolutely surprises me, you know,
just the open, bold face, you know, hate that they have.
(48:34):
How can you love your own kids when you hate
so much? You know, We've got one last story. We're
coming down. But this comes from Persecution dot Org. This
comes out of Iran. This has to do with Iran
(49:00):
and Israel striking Iran. Of course, Americas struck Iran, and
in this particular Iran's Evan Prison, notorious for torturing and
in all the years we've covered these stories. Evan Prison
(49:23):
was always the most notorious, yes, and so it's located
in Tehran, and it's notorious for housing Christian and other
religious prisoners. And so what happened was Israel struck Evan
Prison and at least seventy one people were killed in
(49:48):
a strike, and one Christian has been directly affected by
the strikes, but they don't have any other details. The
sloads of prisoners were transferred to alternate facilities following the attack.
At least six of the prisoners were Christians who had
(50:10):
been imprisoned for their faith. Among those transferred a sixty
year old Christian convert serving a six year prison sistance
after being arrested in June of twenty twenty in part
(50:31):
of a string of coordinated raids against Iranian house churches.
While in Heaven. Prison authorities denied this particular individual medical
treatment for her arthritis and a broken angle ankle sustained
in a car accident just shortly before she was imprisoned,
(50:58):
and Israel said they targeted Evan Prison because it's a
symbol of oppression. For the Iranian prison it is known
or referred to as a torture factory and hell on Earth.
And we've heard a lot of bad stories about that. Yes,
(51:21):
prisoners in even are in dismal conditions, overcrowded wards, lack
of necessities, probably including clean water. Iranian authorities and Islamic
leaders are known for brutally persecuting Christians. Just a mess.
(51:45):
It is.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
Yeah, and so Israel.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
You know what's amazing. Iranian authorities and Islamic leaders are
known for brutally persecuting Christians. Conversion to Christianity is punishable
by imprisonment or death. But despite the extreme oppression of Christians,
Iran is home to the world's fastest growing church. That
(52:28):
is amazing.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
Yeah, the world's fastest growing church. We see that.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
Yeah, we've heard that before.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Yeah, So remember to pray for Iran, Pray for those
Christians who were held in Iran Iranian prisons, and pray
that the ayah tola over there in Iran will be
(53:06):
kicked out and Iran will change. Yes. Amen, So we're
going to have to close out here towers, so go ahead, Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I say to you, greetings, Dana, how are you doing tonight?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm doing good. How you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I'm doing good? Little slow on the draw, but here
I am.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So, what's going on in the world? Anything interesting? Well,
it's always something.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You know, there is a lot of stuff going on.
But right now we're dealing with upgrade on some of
our equipment.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's always fun.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, And that's what we've been doing, and we have
been able to do some shows because we're trying to
get all this done in between everything, and even tonight's
(04:15):
show we had a few technical issues, but we've managed
to get through them, thank the Lord. And you know,
the thing but it is is that no matter what
man does, no matter what we do, the persecution of
(04:38):
the Brethren overseas continues, and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's tough day in, day out, day and day out.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Never quits, never stops, and so yeah, that's one of
those things you just can't do anything about. And upfront,
(05:13):
we're doing something we've been doing for a long time.
We pick out an article. This is one that was
just published, Assurance of Life Versus Eternity. This has introduction
to it and then it goes into a psalm. These
(05:33):
are psalms that I write, and then I've got them
in little quatrains or little groups, and in between we
have scripture. And I've been doing this for a lot
of years and I decided to add more of them
(05:53):
to our websites. So this is Assurance of Life Versus Eternity.
You can find this over a Dana Glennsmith dot com
and all you have to do is go there and
look for the article. You find it right on the front.
The assurance of life is always on the line for
all people. It is simply your choice. Not one other
(06:18):
person can answer for your soul, spirit and whether you
will find heaven or hell. In addition, the way we
live on earth, in our physical bodies makes an important
part of where we will end up. Scripture and our
Lord Jesus Christ revealed all that to us. In addition,
(06:38):
the apostles took the anointing message and the command of
the Lord to take this gospel to the ends of
the earth. Only in today's society and globalist high tech
world does a people believe their own ways do not
matter in the decision as to where they will spend eternity. Americans,
(06:59):
especially the younger generations, live recklessly, as do a number
of older adults. Make sure that you don't ignore this
part of your life. The point is to make sure
(07:19):
your life is in line with the commandments of Jesus Christ,
our Lord. And you have repented of your sins, and
we have a scripture here per Sean five nine through twelve.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of
God is greater for this is the witness of God,
(07:42):
which he has testified of his son. He that believeth
on the Son of God has the witness in himself.
He that believeth not God hath made him a liar,
because he believeth not the record that God gave of
his son. And this is the record that God has
(08:04):
given to us eternal life. And this life is in
his son. He that hath the Son hath life. He
that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Now that is something you need to remember. Amen, Time
and eternity. This is a psalm that is within this
(08:26):
particular post. It was written by myself, the watchman, Dane G. Smith.
Out of your bellies shall flow living water. That's what
the Lord said. Time goes by and eternity takes it in,
(08:47):
Eternity expands again, demanding more. Time. Man is born and
he dies. Between those two is life made of small
segments Isaiah fifty seven fifteen. For thus saith the high
(09:08):
and lofty one that inhabiteth Eternity, whose name is Holy.
I dwell in the high and holy place with him.
Also that is of a contride and humble spirit. To
revive the spirit of the humble to revive the heart
of the contrite. Once we call this time. Each moment,
(09:32):
each second proceeds each other, cascading towards the inevitable, when
time shall be no more, when eternity, though forgotten, will
rise at the very veritable demise, that which even time,
(09:52):
eternity or hell cannot stop except the Lord Jesus Christ,
for death and hell are swallowed up in his victory.
And this has been just a portion of a new
post on Dana Glennsmith dot com and WARRENDESUSA dot com,
(10:16):
The Assurance of Life Versus Eternity. This was written by myself,
the Watchman, Dane Glenn Smith. The Watchman Radio or the
Warren Radio shows are hosted by the Watchman Dana G.
Smith and Tower, who is co host. This is the
(10:38):
WIBR Warren Radio websites and ministries and in depth Biblical teaching,
preaching and warning agency. In these last days, we are
about the work in ministry of the WIBR Warren Radio
(10:58):
which heralds the test stimony of Jesus Christ, through the
faith of Jesus Christ, by the mercy of God our Father,
through his grace extended flowing from the love of God
to all people everywhere, commanding everyone to repent. Amen. Amen,
(11:25):
and we're going to be talking about Nigerian and I
believe we could have another post. We've been having a
lot of stuff on Nigeria Benews state. This week we're
launching an emergency relief program. This comes from open DOORSUS
(11:51):
dot org for thousands of people who were left with
nothing after violent attacks and Bnu State, Nigeria. Nigeria has
been hit really really hard time and time again. The
people were chased from their homes in early June when
(12:11):
Islamic militant Polani herders attacked multiple villages in the region.
By the time the attackers left, more than two hundred
people were dead and thousands were displaced from their homes.
Most of the victims were Christians. Shortly after the attacks,
(12:32):
an Open Doors team met with some of the survivors.
What can you tell these people at that point in
time that will calm their minds and make them feel
Goddess there, says Virtue, an Open Doors field worker. The
only thing I could do was pray for them because
(12:52):
I had no words. What do you say? Yeah? And
that the truth? Yep. We were able to help three
hundred of the affected families with immediate aid, but after
talking with local Christians, we see the need as much
bigger and right now you can help. Every one hundred
(13:15):
and thirty five dollars can provide emergency relief for a
family of five to eight believers in Bnu State. Through
your gifts and prayers, we hope to provide emergency aid,
shelter for fifteen hundred families, give Bibles to five thousand people,
(13:35):
and help with trauma care and protection services for nine
thousand people. Nigeria is the most violent place of earth
on earth to be a follower of Jesus. This latest
attack is one example of that. But your gift today
can help meet the needs of these displace Christians and
(13:58):
show them they're not alone. Will you help today? That
comes from Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US, and
you can give your best gift today. Just go to
opendoors dot us and if you can donate a little
bit to help them. One hundred and thirty five dollars
(14:22):
can provide relief for a family five to eight.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's opendoorsus dot org, open doorsus dot org.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
You know, we've had so many stories out of Nigeria.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's so tragic. It's very disturbing.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It is, and it's all recent. You know, it comes
one right after another. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yes? This story is a three part blueprint for freedom
from slavery to freedom, and this letter came to us
from Brian orm the President and CEO of Global Christian Relief.
Pakistan Brick Kiln traps thousands of Christians in modern day slavery.
(15:13):
If an unexpected expense comes up, then they're caught in
a debt they can never repay. That's why we've developed
a three part blueprint for lasting freedom. And this is
what freedom looks like. Last week we shared the stark
reality of Pakistan's Brick Kiln and our goal to free
(15:35):
one hundred Christian families from bondage this year. Today, I
invite you into powerful, focused prayer for these families. During
my recent visit to Pakistan, I witnessed something remarkable. These believers,
despite their circumstance, Despite their circumstances, maintain an unshakable prayer
(15:58):
life that humbles an inspires me. When I ask Khalid,
after getting freed from the kilns after fifteen years of
grueling work, what he wants to pray for next? I
got an unexpected answer. Instead of focusing on his own
family's needs, he said, we will pray to the Lord
(16:21):
that he will also help all those people who are
under debt so they can also be released. And you
can go to Global Christian Relief dot org videos and
three part blueprint for freedom. And what they're doing is
(16:43):
they get them out of the bondage. They set them
up to work in to have their own business. And
three they do counseling to keep them out of the
debt and to save money and be free of that
bondage forever. And here are five specific ways to pray
(17:05):
for bonded workers in Pakistan this week. For the children
in the kilns that their futures are blessed and their
spirits protected. For our local partners negotiating with kiln owners
that they find favor and wisdom. For Christian families facing oppression,
(17:25):
that they stay strong in their faith. For the families
who were freed last year, for their continued success with freedom,
and for the Christian community in Pakistan to be strengthened
with each family freed. We've seen God answer these prayers
like he did for a sid and Rebeah, who was
(17:49):
not only who not only gained freedom, but now run
their own business and have land where they plan to
build a home, or marryam a widow who used her
fresh start to create a better future for her children.
Will you join us in prayer for one hundred more
families waiting for their miracle standing together in faith. Brian Orme,
(18:15):
President and CEO of Global Christian Relief. Yeah, that's a
good story. Thank God they're working on that and I
hope they accomplish their goal and more to friends to
free the hundred families this year.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You know, I'm still in awe how the nations of
men can sit around do nothing and allow the slaughter
of all these beliefs.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
That's right, that's just insane.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Next, this is another one from Nigeria. This comes from
Global Christian Relief dot org. Followers of Jesus in Nigeria,
the most dangerous country for Christians, know that their faith
(19:17):
could cost them their homes, their safety, and their lives.
When more than six thousand Christians have been killed in
Northern Nigeria in the last five years and more than
two million have lost their homes following terrorist attacks. With
(19:46):
those kind of statistics, it would be easy for persecuted
Christians in Nigeria to lose hope. Yet many of the
displays Christians that Global Christian Relief met have made the
remarkable decision to choose hope over despair and joy over sorrow.
(20:08):
They shared that worship and the persecuted Nigerian church can
bring hope and encouragement even in the face of terror
and death. You know, I'm in awe when you look.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
At him, I know they're amazing how they make their
faith and stand strong in the Lord.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
When Brian Ramy, CEO of GCR Global Christian Relief, spoke
with persecuted and displaced believers in Nigeria, he was moved
by their boldness and resiliency. The songs I heard in
Nigeria were more than melodies. They were anthems of defiance
(20:56):
against the darkness, he said. In a place where or
faith can cost everything, their worship is a courageous reminder
that their hope in Jesus remains unshaken and their spirit unconquered.
You know, I just I love these people.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands,
writes King David in Psalm sixty three four no stranger
to persecution himself, David chose to lift his voice and
sing words of praise to the Lord in the midst
(21:39):
of his hardships, just as many Nigerian believers do today.
Worship songs often provide a source of hope and encouragement
to the persecuted Christians, some of whom shared their stories
and their songs with us. So you can go to
Global Christian Relief God, or to donate now and help
(22:02):
your brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen. Yes, then you
know what's amazing. We have a story out of Pakistan,
(22:25):
and let me begin and then I'll tell you the
name of it. This was something out of my reach,
but thank you for believing in me and giving me
an opportunity to make my dream a reality. These are
the words of Tania, a computer science student at a
Christian college in Lahore, Pakistan. Well, this story is about
(22:48):
pakistan Christian students who dream of getting a degree of
some kind in order to support themselves and their families.
And Tanya is a computer science student. She's a young woman.
She's one of eighty five Christian students from impoverished backgrounds
(23:14):
to benefit from a Barnabas funded scholarship made possible through
your generosity. Because of your donations, Tanya can now get
the education needed to better her future. Can you believe that?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
That's amazing? I'm glad thank the Lord for this. Yes, scholarships.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
In Pakistan, where Christians are a small minority, many Christian
students that mainstream stools get bullied by students and teachers alike,
treated unfairly because of their faith, and even pressure to
convert to Islam. Christians in Pakistan commonly work only the
(24:00):
lowest paid and dirtiest jobs. Many cannot afford to send
their children to school at all. This perpetuates a psychle
poverty and the literacy from which it is almost impossible
to escape. Barnabas funded scholarships enable young Christians in Pakistan
(24:21):
to get an education in a loving, supportive Christian environment,
where their faith can flourish alongside their learning. These children,
previously marginalized and impoverished, now have the opportunity to pursue
(24:44):
higher paying career paths and create bright futures for themselves. Isaac,
another one of the students, lost his only means of
support when his father died. By God's grace, you have
given him an opportunity that he wouldn't have had otherwise.
Thank you, said Isaac for investing in my life and
(25:08):
empowering me with quality education. So you can go to
barnabas Aid dot org to donate and help your persecuted
brothers and sisters in Christ. You can also find out
more about how you can help your brethren in Christ
Jesus overseas. When you think about how they are.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Treated, it's unbelievable how other people can treat you know,
each other so poorly.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, they're cruel and.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Wicked towards another human being. Is just beyond my comprehension.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah it is. It is really okay.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Hey, this is our prayer force this week from Global
Christian Relief and it's father grow the church through kiln
side faith. Even while Enslaved, Raheel and Ruth served as
church elders encouraging others in their faith. Pray that their
(26:22):
bold witness will inspire a movement of faith within oppressed communities.
That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness
does not overcome it. John one five, Chapter John chapter one,
verse five. Yeah, I love that verse, the darkness cannot
be overcome because the light of Christ shines so bright. Yeah, well,
(26:51):
be sure to get your copy of The Rising, a
Christian fiction thriller by The Watchman Dana G. Smith. Everything
was okay, or so they thought, a truth so unbelievable
it took a miracle to fight back. Don't miss The Rising.
The Rising continues the story of Mac, a former Black
(27:14):
Op sniper, and details the takeover of America. Hidden within
the storyline of The Rising is the truth of what's
happening in America now. And you can get your copy
of The Rising on Amazon, Barnes and Noble Books a
million Ingram walmart Angus and Robertson, and The Rising ebook
(27:34):
can be found on Google Play. And this story comes
to us from persecution dot org, Nicaraguan Pastor Trials and Faith.
Before we dwelve into this story, we remind you to
(27:56):
visit persecution dot org, home of International Christian Concern, and
donate to help alleviate the suffering, sorrow and death caused
by these who attack them. He and twelve others associated
with the evangelical Christian organization Mountain Gateway were charged with
(28:18):
money laundering and other spurious charges. On March nineteenth, twenty
twenty four, the Fifth District Criminal Court sentenced ruth Eurethea
to twelve years in prison and find him eighty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I know that's just astronomical. Where would you get that
kind of money. The others arrested also received prison sentences
and hefty fines. Their lawyers were barred from speaking with
them or examining any files related to the case. A
month before their arrest, two hundred fifty thousand Nicaraguans attended
(29:02):
a Mountain Gateway worship gathering. Members of the Sandinista National
Liberation Front the SNLF, led by President Daniel Ortega, considered
the event a threat, as Christian beliefs often challenges the
snlf's effort to merge Marxism with Christianity. Nicaraguan Christians also
(29:28):
opposed the political party's attempt to oppress free speech and
religious freedom. Since twenty eighteen, Ortega and his wife Rosalia
Mario have targeted religious organizations, the Catholic Church and whoever
speaks against the government and seeks to influence the country.
(29:54):
Eur Ruthia Rudia looks back on his nine in prison
as a time that stretched his faith and made him
depend on God like never before. In La Modello prison,
the Mountain Gateway pastors and staff were given dirty water
to drink and occasionally ate garbage. They weren't allowed to
(30:19):
see their families or possess a Bible. Still, they prayed, fasted,
and ministered to one another. Eventually more prisons were added
to their cell, and they shared the Gospel with them.
The pastors even led some police officers to Christ. They
the police officers believed they were going to silence our
(30:42):
mouths and put out our fire by putting us in
that place. Eureita said, we were in a maximum We
were in a maximum security cell. But the fire didn't
get out. The fire didn't go out. The flames got
bigger than the problems. Towards the end of their imprisonment,
(31:04):
Urutia said he felt that God was encouraging him that
his story would soon change. Then the gate Mountain Gateway
pastors and staff were released with another one hundred and
twenty four prisoners. The Lord had told me, don't be afraid,
Jose Luise, I will blow winds from the north and
(31:27):
your chains will break, and the doors will open. That's
what Urutia recalled.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah. Today Euretya and his family are rebuilding their lives
in Austin, Texas. And to read more stories, you can
visit the ICC newsroom. For it interviews, please email press
at persecution dot org. Yes I didn't, Okay, Now back
(32:00):
to you, Dana.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
We are in my animar. They say that the war
and my animar began before many were born. That's current
day today.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Since nineteen forty eight used to be known as Burma,
but that country fell into arm conflict and it's never
been resolved. You know, some people just has to kill
and kill again and kill again.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That's seventy what seventy seven years ago? Right?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
And this is intensified, only underscore intensified since military coup
in February of twenty twenty one, and many Christian families
are suffering the consequences. The communities of Christian majority Careen
(33:15):
State are among those suffering the consequences of war and
violent persecution. You know, there just must be a lot
of god awful hate out there.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
It is, there is, and it's just unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
The military government's bombardment of ethnic minority Christians has been
likened to a genocide. Well like in my Yeah, I
believe that it's more more than likened to it. It is. Yeah.
Think of the urgent humanitarian needs as the result of
(34:01):
what is going on there. Among the most keenly felt
are medical needs, which is usually absolutely number one besides
food and clothing. So you need medical and because of
(34:27):
the civil war in Myanamar, the violence grows and grows
and spreads and spreads, and as it does, there's less
and less access for healthcare, hospitals, clothes, medical infrastructure is lacking,
(34:49):
and doctors or medics from other countries cannot reach these remote,
high risk areas.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Many are left suffering needlessly from treatable illnesses. Women die
in childbirth at an learning rate.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
That shouldn't even happen, that shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Be going on at all, And that's a painful way
to go. And so you can help. And so they
want to train too, associate positions to serve in this
(35:34):
careen state, a Christian majority area of the country, and
they're going to be trained in pre natal care Sesirian
sections for at risk mothers and God willing more associate
positions will be trained in the future. By helping to
(36:00):
fund all this training, you can give help and hope
to hundreds, possibly thousands. Lord God and Heavenly Father, please
bless the training of these two associate physicians. We pray that,
(36:22):
once qualified, they will be a blessing to many people
who would otherwise lack the medical care that they need.
Thank you for the willingness of our brothers and sisters
to serve in this way. We pray in the name
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now if you
(36:44):
want to direct a gift there, I'm looking at something here.
(37:12):
It takes money, and I don't have the church here,
the people to contact.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I think it's uh hm, let me see.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I don't see it.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
I wonder if it's uh persecution dot org.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, at any rate, remember my anamar. I'm sorry, but
that's not on there. It almost.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I'm wondering if it's isn't persecuted dot persecution dot org
International Christian Concern.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
It could be or it could be.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Barnabas aid, Yeah, make your donation to seven five Dash
seven sixty three.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, Barnabas aide dot org Persecution dot org Global Christian
Relief dot org. These are just some of the ones
that you can contact. Now. The next one is talking
(38:28):
about the Islamic say state that is in the Democratocratic
Republic of the Congo. This comes from Persecution dot org
International Christian Concern. Now there's also an organization called a
(38:50):
LED the arm Conflict Location and Events Data Group, and
they had focus on the Rwandan backed M twenty three
rebel group fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo. And
(39:11):
what has happened, Pewterer resources are being dedicated to combat
the Islamic State and one of the reasons probably is
the Islamic State is pretty tough. So the Islamic State
Central Africa Province, better known as the Allied Democratic Forces ADF.
(39:33):
Now we know of the ADF, but if there's such
a misnumer as calling them democratic and so they've taken
advantage of the relative inattention to launch increased attacks on civilians.
(39:58):
And in February they did an operation and they killed
seventy Christians in the Lebera area church. And ADF is
one of the many African terrorist organizations that is aligned
with the Islamic State. And there is all kinds of
(40:19):
issues coming out of this. It's been going on for
a long time, and so the Jihatis Islamic State movement
is still there even though people think it's gone. It
stands out among the countries one hundred and twenty militant
groups for its brutal tactics and explicit animosity towards Christianity. Well,
(40:47):
their hell fire is going to be the worst of
them all.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Can you believe that? One hundred and twenty militant groups?
Speaker 1 (40:59):
I know? And so, according to a slid the eighty
F attacks on civilians the first quarter of twenty twenty
five had sixty eight percent more fatility fatalities than the
(41:23):
previous quarter. It's the second deadliest quarter of civilian targeting
by the EIGHTF since they began recording data on the
EIGHTYF in nineteen ninety seven, and they were verified and
(41:43):
recorded at least four hundred and fifty deaths among unarmed civilians. Unarmed, Yes,
how hard is it to kill an unarmed person? I
have nothing but contempt for these people doing this to
innocent people. Well, I'll tell you there is a judge,
(42:08):
and you ain't going to be getting your gun and
your rifles and your bullets out to save you, because
your butt's going to be his. While the twenty three
militant group is known to operate under the auspices of
the Rwandan government, and of course they don't feel bound
(42:31):
by anything signed by the Rwandan government. They want to
continue to make war. You know, all this tells me
it's just a frickin mess. It is. They have you
and peacekeepers in the country and they're working to protect
hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, but have experienced increasing difficulty. Yeah, yeah,
(42:52):
because the rebels are coming. The UN mission known as
Manusco they begin withdrawing in twenty twenty four. They've been
operating in the country for more than thirteen years. They
(43:16):
had nearly eighteen thousand personnel in including fourteen thousand troops.
So guess what they're doing. They're leaving. So you can
go to persecution dot org International Christian Concern in other words,
that's who it is, International Christian Concern at persecution dot
(43:36):
org and check out all their places that they're helping.
There's more articles you can read and you can donate
there to help the believers over in the drc K Tower.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Okay, this story comes to us the International Christian concer
Persecution dot org It's India within six months. The government
of mahar Maharashtra in India's planning to investigate and demolish
(44:14):
hundreds of churches that it claims are unauthorized structures, most
of which are in tribal regions. The state is also
planning to enact a stringent anti conversion law to curb
religious conversions carried out through inducement or core coertion. Maharashtra
(44:38):
Revenue Minister chen Duskar announced the plans on June ninth
as he addressed concerns raised by several members of the
Legislative Assembly about alleged forced conversions in the state, and
he said that once the anti conversion law is enacted,
no one will dare to undertake religious conversion conversions in
(45:02):
the state. The minister, however, did not share the details
of the draft law. The state of Maharashtra I'm slaughtering
these names and I'm sorry, is ruled by the Hindu
nationalist BJP party, which also holds power at the federal level.
(45:23):
If the anti conversion laws passed, Maharashtra will become the
thirteenth Indian state which with such a plate law in place.
Stringent anti conversion laws were promptly implemented in northern states
(45:43):
after the BJP came to power. Utter Pradish has the
most stringent laws in Maharashtra. The issue of course conversions
to Christianity was brought to the forefront forefront by an
up A legislator who highlighted the proliferation of alleged unauthorized
(46:08):
church constructions in the tribal dominated Duel and Nandobar districts
where conversions are reportedly being facilitated through allurements. Joining enough
were other legislators who alleged the tribes tribes that tribals
(46:35):
were being converted to Christianity through illegal churches built using
foreign funding from the promotion for the promotion of the religion.
The legislators also demanded a mechanism to bar converted tribals
from availing benefits under Welsh fare schemes and meant for
secluded casts, but the legislators did not specify how many
(46:59):
ill churches have been built or where exactly the funding
came from. The State Cabinet will discuss the issue of
foreign funding, the sources of the funding, the quantum of funding,
the existing acts by the state and the Center to
act in these cases. We intend to bring a robust
(47:22):
law to curb the cases of conversion, and it will
be brought after due deliberation. And since nineteen ninety five,
ICC has served the global persecuted Church through a three
pronged approach of assistance, advocacy, and awareness. ICC exists to
(47:43):
bandage the wounds of persecuted churches, of persecuted Christians, and
to build the church in the toughest part of the world. Bohy,
that's horrible. What's going on there? They want to stop
They're doing everything they can in all these countries to
stop Christianity, to stop christ but it won't work.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
You know, we haven't seen it this bad ever, No,
not ever, And it just absolutely surprises me, you know,
just the open, bold face, you know, hate that they have.
(48:34):
How can you love your own kids when you hate
so much? You know, We've got one last story. We're
coming down. But this comes from Persecution dot Org. This
comes out of Iran. This has to do with Iran
(49:00):
and Israel striking Iran. Of course, Americas struck Iran, and
in this particular Iran's Evan Prison, notorious for torturing and
in all the years we've covered these stories. Evan Prison
(49:23):
was always the most notorious, yes, and so it's located
in Tehran, and it's notorious for housing Christian and other
religious prisoners. And so what happened was Israel struck Evan
Prison and at least seventy one people were killed in
(49:48):
a strike, and one Christian has been directly affected by
the strikes, but they don't have any other details. The
sloads of prisoners were transferred to alternate facilities following the attack.
At least six of the prisoners were Christians who had
(50:10):
been imprisoned for their faith. Among those transferred a sixty
year old Christian convert serving a six year prison sistance
after being arrested in June of twenty twenty in part
(50:31):
of a string of coordinated raids against Iranian house churches.
While in Heaven. Prison authorities denied this particular individual medical
treatment for her arthritis and a broken angle ankle sustained
in a car accident just shortly before she was imprisoned,
(50:58):
and Israel said they targeted Evan Prison because it's a
symbol of oppression. For the Iranian prison it is known
or referred to as a torture factory and hell on Earth.
And we've heard a lot of bad stories about that. Yes,
(51:21):
prisoners in even are in dismal conditions, overcrowded wards, lack
of necessities, probably including clean water. Iranian authorities and Islamic
leaders are known for brutally persecuting Christians. Just a mess.
(51:45):
It is.
Speaker 2 (51:46):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
Yeah, and so Israel.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
You know what's amazing. Iranian authorities and Islamic leaders are
known for brutally persecuting Christians. Conversion to Christianity is punishable
by imprisonment or death. But despite the extreme oppression of Christians,
Iran is home to the world's fastest growing church. That
(52:28):
is amazing.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
Yeah, the world's fastest growing church. We see that.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
Yeah, we've heard that before.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Yeah, So remember to pray for Iran, Pray for those
Christians who were held in Iran Iranian prisons, and pray
that the ayah tola over there in Iran will be
(53:06):
kicked out and Iran will change. Yes. Amen, So we're
going to have to close out here towers, so go ahead, Okay.
