The Christian communities in the city of Kasur, the village of Korian and the town of Gojra in Pakistan were attacked by Moslems at the end of July and August 1, 2009. From the reports and pictures I was sent, and the video evidences on Youtube, the Moslems made war against the Christians and burnt many of their homes and properties. They beat, shot or killed some of those who were unable to escape, and looted the homes which were left standing.
I had ministered in both in Kasur and Gojra in April of this year, 2009. Many of the people of Korian in Toba Tek Singh, attended the Gospel Meetings which were held in the city of Toba Tek Singh. I was informed of what had taken place and prayed for an end to further attacks on the vulnerable Christian communities. My heart goes out to the wonderful people in Pakistan, being some of the loveliest people I have ever met.
As soon as I heard of their plight, I sent what little financial aid I could, with help from a few sympathetic persons. However, it is just a drop in the ocean of their needs.
Those who were attacked are left destitute. Many are homeless or living in what has been left of the homes which were not totally destroyed. Pakistan may seem far away for many, but the Adversary of souls and the spirit of antichrist is everywhere in this world. NO ONE WHO FOLLOWS YAHUSHUA IS SAFE!! Last year the Christians in certain parts India were attacked. Many were killed, including being burnt alive and their homes destroyed. They are still suffering. The question is: WHO AND WHERE WILL BE NEXT??
CHRISTIANS PLEASE DO NOT FEEL, SECURE, COMFORTABLE AND AT EASE!! You are still in this world and as the coming of Yahushua draws closer, more and more of His followers will be attacked for His name.
IT IS TIME TO BE READY FOR THE RETURN OF YAHUSHUA!! IT IS HIGH TIME TO PUT AWAY RELIGIONS AND DEMONINATIONS AND BE UNITED IN HIM AND “BE ONE” AS HE PRAYED IN JOHN 17:11.
THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO BE INDIFFERENT TO THE NEEDS OF FELLOW CHRISTIANS OR TO BE BOXED INTO THEIR RELIGIONS AND SHUT AWAY!!
IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN AND OTHER PLACES WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE BEING PERSECUTED, THEIR PERSECUTORS DO NOT REGARD RELIGION, DENOMINATIONS, OR CHURCHES. ALL WHO NAME THE NAME OF YAHUSHUA ARE PUT UNDER ONE UMBRELLA AND GIVEN THE SAME TREATMENT. NO ONE WHO LOVES AND FOLLOWS YAHUSHUA IS SAFE ANYWHERE IN THIS WORLD!!
• CHRISTIANS, IS TIME TO PUT AWAY RELIGIONS AND COME TOGETHER AS ONE!! YAHUSHUA DID NOT LEAVE US RELIGIONS, OR DENOMINATIONS!! HIS DESIRE IS THAT HIS FOLLOWERS SHOULD BE PART OF HIS BODY AND TO BE ONE IN HIM. THUS WE ARE TOLD IN EPHESIANS 4: 4-6:“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all”.(KJV).
In 1 Corinthians 12:27, we are told:“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular”.
• THEREFORE, IT IS TIME FOR THE FOLLOWERS OF YAHUSHUA TO UNITE AND WORK TOGETHER TO FINISH THE GOSPEL COMMISSION IN THE WORLD SO THAT YAHUSHUA CAN RETURN AND DELIVER HIS CHILDEN FOR WHOM HE SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD.
• IT IS TIME TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE BEING PERSECUTED AND KILLED FOR THE NAME OF YAHUSHUA.
• IT IS TIME TO PRAY AND FAST TOGETHER FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOING THROUGH PERSECUTION. REMEMBER YOU COULD BE NEXT IN LINE FOR SATAN’S WRATH AGAINST YOU!!The following is copy of the letter I wrote to the persecuted Christians in Kasur, Korian and Gojra, Pakistan, in August, 2009:
Dear Fellow Believers in Yahushua,
Shalom and warm greetings in the loving name of our Saviour and soon coming King, Yahushua Ha Mashiach.
In March and April of this year, I was in your beautiful country of Pakistan where I was privileged to minister in many cities including your cities of Kasur and Gojra. Many of you attended the meetings where, by Yahweh’s grace, I pray that you were blessed, as I was blessed.
It was with great sorrow that I received the sad news and the pictures showing the aftermath of what took place in your communities in Kasur city, followed by the attacks in Korian town on July 30, and then on August 1, in Gojra city. My heart goes out to all of you in deep sympathy.
Today I am writing to say how very, very sorry I am to hear of the attacks of the antichrist upon you and your communities there in Kasur, Korian and Gojra. This is a satanic spirit which is on the rampage in many parts of the world attacking and destroying the lives of many of the followers of Yahushua.
Please accept my condolences for those who have lost their loved ones during the war against you.
I would also like to pass on my sympathy to those of you whose homes and churches have been destroyed as well as those whose livestock have been killed. I would also like to say how sorry I am for those whose homes have been looted and whose businesses and livelihoods ruined.
The attacks against you have been vicious and cruel and I know the pains over your loss and your desperate and desolate conditions are very great.
You have indeed passed through fiery trails and you are still suffering from those fiery trials. However, I would like to encourage you NOT TO GIVE UP OR LOSE HEART. There is One who knows your pains and loss and He is with you in all that you have suffered and are suffering. His Name is YAHUSHUA Ha MASHIACH (JESUS CHRIST); your loving Saviour and Redeemer.
Yahushua told us that in this world we would have “tribulations” (trials and sorrows) but we are to be of good cheer because He has “overcome the world” (John 16:33). In Matthew 5:11,12, Yahushua assures His followers that those who are persecuted for His sake are “blessed”. He further assures them that the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs, where their reward will be “great”.
Satan knows this and that is why he is doing great evils to the followers of Yahushua in his attempt to force them to give up their faith in Yahushua. However, in spite of what he brings against you, I would like to encourage you to be faithful and to continue to hold on to Yahushua, who loves you, died for you and Whose heavenly reward for you will be great. PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT HE IS COMING SOON FOR HIS CHILDREN HERE IN THIS WORLD.
For those whose loved ones have died, I want to assure you that by Yahushua’s grace they are in a better place, Heaven itself, where they are free from the evils of this world. We are assured of this in Revelation 6: 9-11, where John the Divine was shown the martyrs dressed in white robes. By Yahushua’s grace they have now joined their fellow martyrs and are worshipping and praising their Elohim in those heavenly realms above.
Fellow Believers in Yahushua, please be of good courage in this your time of grief and loss. Please do not give in to the enemy, Satan, who wants to destroy you in this life and have you suffer in the torments of hell when you die. More than all, in the final judgment when he is judged and cast into the Lake of fire and brimstone, he wants you to be with him and his angels throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity (Luke 16: 19-31; Revelation 20:10, 15). PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM THE PRIVILEGE!!
In this world you will suffer for just a short while but once you leave, everlasting happiness, peace and joy await you with Yahushua, our Saviour. For those who have rejected Yahushua and are doing the work of the antichrist, the torments of Hell, followed by the final judgment and the Lake of fire and brimstone await them. There they will suffer without mercy throughout eternity (Matthew 25: 41, Luke 16: 19-31; Revelation 20: 10-15).
Dear Believers in Yahushua, Please remember that those who have destroyed your lives think that they are right in what they have done because they are greatly deceived. Please forgive them and pray for them that they may be converted and that the love of Yahushua will be in their hearts as we are encouraged to do (Matthew 5:44). This is important because whereas in the world we suffer for a limited time, they will suffer first in hell, a place of great torment. This will be followed by the Lake of fire and sulphur alongside Satan who deceived them throughout the rest of eternity and from where there will be no way of escape.
I have sent a little help to you which is just a drop in the ocean of your needs at this time. The Yacubs of Faith Hope Ministries have sent me the pictures of the help given in Gojra through the meals and clothing they were able to give out from the aid I was able to send. They have also sent me the pictures of the Medical Camp that was sent up in Korian for three days, in which many of you were treated for the allergies and other medical problems you suffered as a result of the deadly chemicals which were used to burn and destroy your homes and properties. Likewise, I have received the pictures of the pillows which they gave out to a number of households in Korian.
Pastors Aslam of Jesus Call Ministry of Pakistan also sent me the pictures of the parcels which were given out in Kasur City. It is my prayer that these aids, though very small, which were sent through Messiah’s Return Prayer of Faith International Ministries (UK), have helped in some way to alleviate a little of your sufferings.
I am praying earnestly that our Elohim will supply all your needs, and rebuild your churches and homes which were destroyed, as well as restore your businesses and livelihoods.
I would like to assure all of you that it will not be long now before Yahushua, our Saviour, will return and bring deliverance to His suffering children here upon earth. PLEASE DO NOT LOSE HEART BUT BE OF GOOD COURAGE FOR SOON THE BATTLE OF STRIFE WILL BE OVER!!
Once again I would like to admonish you to faithful to the end, knowing that it is only those who endure to end who will be saved (Matthew 10:22).
Shalom!
Yours in the blessed hope
Ellisa BR Darrel-Asherel
