God has used China's government for His own purposes, molding and shaping His children as He sees fit.

Whenever I've asked him to help me he always has....Jesus is everything and we are nothing.”

“On many occasions I have been asked if I think persecution will come to the Western church. My answer might surprise you. I believe that if you find yourself enslaved inside a controlling church structure of legalism and bondage, then you are already being persecuted! So many Christians seem impossibly distracted from hearing God's voice. Instead of listening to that still, small voice that brings true peace and joy, they blindly follow the voices of mainstream religion. The worst kind of persecution for a Christian is when you are separated from the joy and presence of the Holy Spirit.”

“It's time for us to stop playing religious games with God. It's time to get serious. It's no longer good enough just to “believe” in Jesus; we need to become His disciples. Churches should not be places where we come and get the water inside of us drained out. Rather, churches should be staging posts from where living water flows out into the communities and nations of the world.”

“Our heavenly Father is great in mercy,
He feeds and clothes us everyday,

For our Lord clothes the grass of the field.”

“For all those who follow Jesus Christ, God has promised a beautiful future both in this life and in eternity. Your life in this world may be hard and full of difficulties, but it is nevertheless beautiful and abundant, for Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). As we walk through this world, however, we must be very careful to protect the inheritance God has given us. “Hold on to what you have,” Jesus told the church in Philadelphia, “so that no one will take your crown” (Rev. 3:11). The child of God must always “watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak” (Mark 14:38).”
