We are so grateful to God for another opportunity to gather for corporate worship. The Bible says, “One will chase a thousand but two will put ten thousand to flight.” Praise God tens of thousands of demons are on the run. Amen!
The Rev. Franklyn Graham, head of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said last week that the shooting at a college in Oregon reveals that violent persecution of Christians is on the rise in the United States of America. “Persecution and targeting of Christians isn’t just in Iran or the Middle East,” wrote Graham, “it’s right here in America.” This he said after the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Reseburg. Chris Harper-Mercer, a 26 year old, over two weeks ago, killed nine persons and wounded seven others before killing himself.
Initial witness accounts indicated that the shooter specifically asked individuals if they were Christians. All those who professed faith in Jesus Christ were shot. In addition to Graham, other Evangelical leaders have also noted the apparent persecution of Christians arising in the United States.
We have been reading about persecution in the Far East, but now it has come to our shores. Of course, Jesus did not confine persecution to any single region in the earth. He said, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you; and you shall be hated of all nations for my name sake.” (Mt. 24:9). We are in the last of the last days when the Bible predicts that these things would happen. We must therefore commit ourselves to Christ as never before so that we can be ready to lay down our lives for Christ and the gospel if that becomes necessary.

Holy Ground
by Joyce Meyer
And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I. God said, Do not come near; put your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.—Exodus 3:3-5
Moses removed his sandals because he was standing on holy ground. Just moments before, it was ordinary ground—now it was holy. God’s presence made it holy!
You are God’s tabernacle. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. He lives in you! Wherever you go, He goes. If you go to the grocery store; if you go play golf; if you go to work—He goes. Ordinary things and places are not holy in themselves, but when we go and do them God has promised to be with us. And any place God is becomes holy.
