Please Pray for Salem Voice Ministries

Praying readers I received this from one of my friends who deals on the frontlines of Christian persecution. Please keep them in your prayers and offer support if you can.

PLEASE PRAY THAT WE MAY EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF OUR LORD’S RESURRECTION IN OUR LIFE.

We are in the midst of crisis and troubles. Pray that our Lord alone guide us in a right path by His Holy Spirit. Let Him not allow us to be discouraged. For He committed Himself for crucification in between two thieves. Then He died. But on the third day He rose up from the dead.

Our Lord has revealed me about the power of resurrection when I was devoting the following portion of the Scripture, “And be found in Him, not having on righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death; if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.” (Phil 3:9-11)

There were seven strong powers of the world patroling around the tomb of our Lord Jesus Christ against His resurrection. 1) Death, 2) Stone (not allowing to enter the light and air), 3) Rulers (Pilate), 4) Force (soldiers who were watching the tomb), 5) Jews under the leadership of the High Priest (Lord’s own people), 6) Heathens, and 7). Satan. But our Lord destroyed the tomb and overcame all those powers and risen up. That was the power of HIS resurrection.

Likewise,we the children of God must be overcome these kind of seven powers for our spiritual resurrection. 1) Sin (death), 2) Stone of inequities (not allowing the Holy Spirit to come inside), 3) Our Governments (rulers like Pilate), 4) Force (police and military as well as militants, radicals, extremists, fundamentalists etc), 5) Our own people (not only so called Christians, but sometimes the people whom we think as spiritual and trust them most are becoming enemies of our spiritual awakeness, just like Judas, the betrayer), 6) Gentiles, and 7) Satan (Evil doings).

OUR CRISIS IS SEVERE. WE ARE STRUGGLING BY ALL MEANS FROM ALL SIDES. AND FINDING HARD TO STEP NEXT.

Many of the missionaries of the Salem Voice Ministries murdered, seriously injured and lost houses by radical Muslims and Hindus. We have no source to help them. At the same time, we find the contacts of the certain organisations making money out of our troubles and hardships; and nothing is being given to the victims. Money makers spend money for their own pleasures, purchasing estates and properties, and keeping their positions better than earlier. They preach the judgement of God, but do not think it is applicable for them also. May God forgive them. But, we don’t know what to do. We are struggling so much to stand faithfully and truthfully in the midst of these people.

PRAY FOR THE SALEM VOICE MINISTRIES, IT’S MISSION FIELDS AND CONVERTS FROM ISLAM AND HINDUS IN INDIA AND THE THIRD WORLD.
