light wasn’t constant; it just appeared whenever I was heading in the wrong

Because of many experiences like this, my faith grew quickly.

Even as Communist China has their Public Security Bureau, America now has
their Department of Homeland Security agency. The names of these
government groups sound benevolent, but they are not. Detention camps were

It did not take long for the Chinese government to declare that Christians were
enemies of the state once the Communists came to power and the Public
Security Bureau was formed. Likewise, it will not be long before Christians in
Western nations are declared to be enemies of the state for resisting the
policies and beliefs of an increasingly authoritarian and anti-Christ regime.
The Scriptures foretell of a day at the end of this age when men and women
will not even be able to buy or sell without embracing the Beast system.

I am persuaded that it will not be long before those who are true disciples of
Christ will need to rely upon God to guide and protect them even as the
Chinese believers have done for many years. They will find that those agencies
that bear names promising Security and Protection will actually prove to be
the ones which seek to take from Christians these very things.

There are many remarkable manifestations of the power of God, and of the
cost of following Christ, in the book The Heavenly Man. I want to share one
more experience of Brother Yun, as I believe it has great application for those
believers in America and Western nations in approaching days.

Many who read this blog are aware that the Lord directed me this past Spring
to spend a couple months traveling across America, meeting with small groups
of believers. Before leaving, the Spirit of Christ had used a sister in the Lord
to prophesy that I would be sent out with the message of Acts 14:22, “Through
many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

Today, as I was reading this book on the life of Brother Yun, I encountered this
