2 Timothy 3:12 (NIV)
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
I have just finished reading The Heavenly Man , The Story of Chinese Christian Brother Yun with Paul Hattaway. Bro Yun was born in 1958 and became a believer at age 16, born into a poor family and section of China and yet God chose to use Brother Yun's faith as a witness to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to thousands. As I read this book I realized I was reading about the modern day Apostle Paul. Bro Yun was incarserated in Prison four separate times and each time God used this experience to bring others to the knowledge of Jesus. He was sent to prison so he would not be "another Judas" Bro Yun would not tell the Chinese authorities who the other Christians were. Each season of time Bro. Yun spent in prison provided him time to memorize more scripture when he was allowed to have a bible. His time in solitary confinmenbt was a great place for prayer to learn more about who God is and wants to be in His life.
I had to come by and tell you how much I LOVE you! That's all. :)
