September 03 What's Happening in Xi'an Eurasia University (China) TodayThank you for taking the time to read my blog. I'm trying to update people about what's going on outside here at Eurasia University and the city of Xi'an in China. World Net DailyWorld Net Daily is a very interesting website and has some very interesting articles about many topics concerning the USA and the World. I would like to write articles about China for World Net Daily but I don't know how that would work. I don't know how sensitive the government would be about things like abortion and other sensitive issues. I really want to shine the light on the probelms not on the people. I don't want to beat people over the head I just want to help them to see the light and to help share that light with the rest of the world so we can all live in a better and more truthful place. Chinese GovernmentI'm writing today to see what will happen if I critisize the Chinese government. When will they throw me out. It's kind of an experiment and also kind of a test to see how "open" they are. Is it wrong to critisize one's government. Are we really that immature that we can't handle criticism? Who does the government think they are? Who is the government? The government is simply made up of people, human beings, just like you and me who are capable of error but who are also capable of such amazing achievements. I don't want to criticize everything I just want to dialogue with them or others and see what happens. I'm pefectly available for the government or government people to publicly criticize me if they want to or if they care to. I don't know why they would but that's perfectly fine. Let's all just come out of the closet of fear and begin to dialogue with everyone. I don't personally think the government is the root of all problems in China or any other country. I think the root of all problems begins with pride and lack of humility. Hopefully, if the government reads this they will read the whole thing because that first part looks a little threatening but I think I've made my case towards the end that I'm not focusing on the government I just think we should not be afraid of openly dialoging with the government or anyone for that matter. Please understand that what I'm advocating is simply being open, honest and respectful with everyone. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Brandon ConfessionsFather forgive me for being so selfish and not open with you and others Father God. Help me to be more like Jesus in this regard. Help me to reach out like Jesus and not to be afraid of anything from now on Father God. I pray that everyone would find your mercy and grace and begin the long process of confessing everything before you so that they can truly begin to live in your freedom and in your light like you intended Father God. Help us to communicate with you excactly how you want us to Lord God. Adam and Eve had perfect communion with you in the Garden Father God and we desire to be back at that point where we can have perfect communion with you at all times Father God. Help us to know your Truth and to share it with others. Help us to communicate your Truth in the way we should and help us to know your Truth from your Words and from our communication with you Father God. I pray that there would be a continual lifting up of hands and praise unto you Father God. I pray that everyone would see the freedom within us and the light and the hope within us to come to the conclusion that there is something supernatual going on in the inner being of these people Father God. Praise you for sending us your Holy Spirit and actually dwelling within our hearts, our souls, our spirit, Father God. It's hard to imagine and comprehend but you have done it. It is fact and it is Truth. It is amazing and it is awe ispiring. Help us to praise you at all times Father God. I know that as some people read this they will respond in different ways with some abhoring it and some loving it and some somwhere in between. I pray that it would all be for your Glory Father God, just like Jesus did everything for your glory Father God. I pray that we would be like Him in everyway to shine the light on you so that others can see you and find you and come to you and be with you Father God. Thank you for calling us sons and for actually making us your sons. Thank you for your discipline. Thank you for allowing us to express ourselves in so many creative ways and especially this gift of writing which has enabled me to free my heart in a way I didn' know before. This will be enough for now but more will surely come. August 06 China's Economy Needs Jesus Badly China's Economy Looks Good
China's economy looks good to the naked eye but take a closer look and you will see rampant corruption and an economy that is not based on the rule of law or any other good thing. It is based on something we call, "guan xi".
This phenomenon is hindering China's economy and it will require the power of the Spirit of Truth to change this situation and improve the health of China's smoke filled economy. I say smoke because of the pollution, the plethera of men addicted to smoking at all times and anywhere and also the smoke screens that are put in place so that the reality is not seen too closely. Kind of like the "beauty" whose beauty lies in her make up and all the other crap that she does artificially to look "good". If you were to see her close up without the "flashing lights and bells" you might not want to get to close. This is China and it is in desperate need of a make over.

We have to first bring Jesus to the economy and not ourselves. In other words, we need to submit and commit to the authority and power of Jesus Christ in our own lives and begin to allow Him to live through us as we interact with the world and in this case, the economy of the U.S.A.
Free Markets Are Markets Free From SinI love the term free market and so do many people around the world, especially in China. We not only love this label because it implies freedom but it also implies progress.

To worship God means to give him the respect and or value He deserves.
Worshipping God is not just a one time thing done on Sunday mornings. It is something we do with all our thoughts and then flows out through or words and actions at all times and becomes deeper and more meaningful as we continue.
Love,
Brandon Why Worship HIm?Article from Chip Ingram of Living on the Edge Ministries
Why Do You Worship God?Chip IngramLiving on the EdgeWhy is your God better than all the other gods in the world? I was asked that question on an international flight by a Chinese woman who had grown up under communism. For the first 20 or so years of her life, she had been taught there was no God, but for the last 10 years, she had been reading about various religions and beliefs, and she honestly wanted to know why I worshipped God. I spent the next two hours telling her everything I could think of to help her understand the uniqueness and character of the God of the Bible, and to explain why the God of Christianity is, in fact, the one true God. At the time, I hoped and prayed that I gave her some pretty solid answers, but if I had it to do over again, I would simply focus on the sovereignty of God. Why? Because it is the sovereignty of God that sets Him apart from all other gods. So what does the phrase “God is sovereign” really mean? If you were to look up the word “sovereign” in the dictionary, you would find words and phrases like “superior,” “greatest,” “supreme in power and authority,” “ruler,” and “independent of all others” in its definition. But the way I like to explain God's sovereignty best is simply to say, “God is in control.” There is absolutely nothing that happens in the universe that is outside of God's influence and authority. As King of kings and Lord of lords, God has no limitations. Consider just a few of the claims the Bible makes about God:
Just as peasants always bowed before their king for fear of offending the one who had the authority to take their life, God's sovereignty compels us to bow before Him. But unlike corrupt earthly kings who abuse their authority to terrorize their subjects, God rules in love. He loves you and wants the best for you. Romans 8:28 promises that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. That's an amazing promise not only because it demonstrates that an all-powerful God cares about you and me, but because it cannot be fulfilled unless the One Who gives it is all-knowing, all-wise, all-powerful, and all-loving. The promise itself is a testimony to God's sovereignty. But God makes that promise, and millions throughout history have testified to its truth because God has proven His ability to back it up time and time again. Think about the implications of that promise. Because God is sovereign and He loves you, nothing will ever come into your life that He does not either decree or allow. Consequently, no matter what you face in life, you can take comfort in the fact that God is sovereign. Whether a loved one lies in a hospital bed, your child is living in rebellion, you lose your source of income, or the nation is at war, God is in control. And He is constantly working all things together for good. Somehow, He takes all the events, all the situations, all the people, the prayers, the relationships-everything involved in whatever pleasant or difficult situation you're in-and works them together for good. So the next time you bow your head to pray-when you're in a jam or need to ask God for something-remember that you're talking to the One Who has power over the entire universe. He controls everything from the tiniest atom to the largest galaxy. Approach Him with the respect, awe, and wonder that He deserves, but also approach Him with confidence knowing that He can answer your prayer. And know also that because He loves you, He will answer your prayer-in the way He knows is best.

Obey Him?What's the problem with saying that the purpose in life is to obey Him?
The problem is that we can strive to obey and not worship Him in spirit and truth.
Yes, we must obey him if we claim to be his followers and worshipping Him includes obeying Him but simply saying that obeying Him is the purpose of life takes away from the awe and respect we are to give Him. Why do we obey Him? Because we are in awe of Him.
Love,
Brandon |
