Daniel 2:21 "He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;" (ESV)
Dear brothers and sisters:
Peace in the Lord! On this past Sunday, we held the twenty-eighth outdoor worship service of this year. It was a hot day, but believers continued to worship our Lord Jesus Christ with faith and hope.
As far as we know, on Sunday morning, at least fifteen believers were taken away from locations near the platform for attending the outdoor service. Four believers were released on the way or were sent home directly, and the other eleven believers were sent to three different local police stations. All believers taken to police stations were released around 13:00 pm on Sunday.
Till today, we still do not see any way out as the external environment encloses us like high city walls. However, with faith, we look beyond the environment, and look to God’s sovereignty; if God is working, who will be able to stop Him? What we need to do is be faithful in carrying out our responsibility. The solution comes not from man’s wisdom, but from God’s wisdom and power, for wisdom and might belong to Him (Daniel 2:21). Therefore, let us pray to God together, that he would strengthen our faith, give us the same mind and the same vision, and that he would open a way for us early for people to see his wisdom and power and to bring him glory.
May peace and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the mercy and love of Father God, and the console and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, be with each brother and sister of Shouwang Church and all the churches who remember Shouwang Church in prayers, from this time on and forevermore! Amen.
