"...The same order that bans religious gatherings in private homes, allows and even encourages the insane anarchist riots, blocking highways and destroying city blocks... In California you can stand shoulder to shoulder with Marxists singing about killing cops, but you cannot worship with freedom in your own home..." -Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel

"First they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Socialists and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." –Martin Niemoller, German Lutheran Pastor arrested and confined to Dachau camp but released in 1945 by the Allies.

When Jesus was asked about the end times and what were some of the signposts, He cited persecution, deception and division at the top of the list (Matt. 24).

If the people of God are not prepared amidst the escalation of demonic activity, apostasy and hostility, multitudes will be offended at God. Jesus warned, "Then many will fall away... because iniquity will abound, the love of many will grow cold" (Matt. 24:10;12). Lawlessness leads to lovelessness!

Dr. Che Ahn, senior leader of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, California; founder of the Harvest International Ministry (H.I.M.) with churches in 70 nations and 162 churches in California; and, International Chancellor of Wagner University recently faced fierce opposition from Governor Gavin Newsom to prohibit Christians singing in church services and hosting Bible studies and fellowship gatherings in homes! Knowing this has implications for Christians across America, Che prayed, sought counsel and knew it was time to stand up to the former mayor of leftist-leaning San Francisco. As one of my dearest friends for over 45 years, Che sat down recently with me to share the lessons learned during this journey. During four 15-minute "Here's the Deal" podcasts on the Charisma Podcast Network Che explains in detail what led up to this defining moment as well as its' implications for Christians across America.

Standing Strong on Biblical Grounds

Che is working with Mat Staver and Liberty Counsel, a Christian ministry protecting Believers and their legal rights in disputes that arise such as this. Mat is a brilliant attorney as well as Liberty Counsel's founder and legal director. Their team and Che will work to confront the governor and the state of California in this horrendous example of overreach and violation of constitutional rights.

Listen [to] how Mat describes what is happening: "All home-based small group Bible studies and private worship among friends and family are illegal for 80% of the California population! The same order that bans religious gatherings in private homes allows and even encourages the insane anarchist riots, blocking highways and destroying city blocks... In California you can stand shoulder to shoulder with Marxists singing about killing cops, but you cannot worship with freedom in your own home. Don't let America's churches be driven underground!"

What's happening in California is a foreshadowing of what is coming the way of Christians in these end times prior to the return of Jesus Christ. Leftist politicians, media, celebrities, educators and heretical religious leaders are all being manipulated by demonic forces to try and thwart advancement of the Gospel of the Kingdom at the close of the age...
