Christians are facing spiritual battles as the Bible says pray for them Ephesians 6 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel The Armour of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. IS THERE ANYTHING SPIRITUAL ABOUT ISLAM IN PAKISTAN? The blasphemy laws in Pakistan are used to settle personal vendettas.” Masih, a cleaner, was accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammed during a conversation with a Muslim friend in the eastern city of Lahore. Within hours, about 3000 protesters had set light to Christian homes and churches in an area known as Joseph Colony. His supporters have always claimed the incident was fabricated as part of a plot to seize land. “They hatched a conspiracy to push out the residents of the colony,” said Masih in a statement after sentence was passed. “They contrived a case and got it filed by a person who was close to me. I am innocent.” PAKISTANI ISLAMIC WAY OF DEALING WITH OPPOSITION In 2011, Salman Taseer, governor of Punjab, was shot dead by one of his own bodyguards for taking up the case of a Christian woman sentenced to death. Cowards consider defence of a woman offensive. Many women have been jailed on concocted Blasphemy charges. At least one judge has been murdered for appearing to be too lenient in such cases. Pray for Masih, our prayers are heard by God. Revelation chapter 6 9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,[e] were killed just as they had been. 12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us[f] from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their[g] wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” Soon these evil people who harass innocent Christians will “WANT TO HIDE FROM JESUS WHEN HE COMES AGAIN AND WILL CALL ON THE MOUNTAINS AND ROCKS TO FALL UPON THEM.” GOD’S WILL BE DONE!telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/10729351/Christian-sentenced-to-death-for-blasphemy-in-Pakistan.html
