If they forbid, how to preach the Name of Jesus Christ?

In western countries they forbid to confess or preach the Name of Jesus Christ more and more.
In this period it is necessary for Christians to support each other and to keep their spirit up.
And if your soul have a great wish to confess the Name of Jesus Christ and preach Him, but rules of your society don’t allow it?
I can give only very little and modest way.
As you know, upon the Head of Christ on the Cross there was writing in three Languages – Hebrew, Greek and Latin. In all west countries, excepting Greece, Christians use Latin for writing of the Name of Jesus Christ.
But the first preaching of Christianity in the Roman empire was in Greek, because the most part of peoples in that Empire can speak Greek. First text of New Testament was written in Greek, later – in Latin.
You know, that Jesus Christ did not often say plainly, but with parables…

You know, that the number of beast is 666. If to overturn this number, we get 999. They are different numbers, but look almost the same. In plants worker, when sign details, always use a dot below-right of number 6. or 9. to distinguish or to definite exactly the number, if a detail is overturned. Only a little dot, but it is very importantly for definition.
But I will open one little wisdom. If we write 9. with Roman numerals – IX, the same way of writing there are the Greek letters, first letters of the Name Jesus Christ in Greek. So we can see, that the Name of Jesus Christ is opposite to the number of the beast.

So there is the way to confess and preach the Name of Jesus Christ using Greek writing of the first letters of Name Jesus Christ. I think, after inspiration from God, I had invented the sign, using one, the Christians can protest against demonical expansion into a public and private life.
Some men wear the big cross openly as priests…But not everyone of those men confess the Name Jesus Christ.
For Christians it may make the other sign - with Greek letters:
We draw the triangle with equal sides – as the Symbol of the Holy Trinity. In the center of triangle we write the Letters of the Name Jesus Christ in Greek – “IX”. In the top of the triangle – a little cross with equal ends – known as “the Greek Cross” – or the same – the sign “+”.
A little wisdom: the sign “+” is the one “positive” and is after a little way turned the Greek letter “X” – Christ.
Inside the triangle in three corners of it we draw three numbers 9.9.9., don’t forget to put dots below-right. Lines of the triangle from the lowest end of the Cross you can draw yourself.
+
9.
IX
9. 9.
(To my sorry, a programm don't allows to place numbers in corners of triangle. And I cannot insert a drawing. I hope, you understand how to place them)


You may make such sign on the armband and wear it on the right hand, with such way with the Name Jesus Christ protesting against demonic system “666”, affirming the Name of God. It is enough easy to make it with special thread for embroidering. The number “9.” (don’t forget to put a dot) it is easy to embroider with straight lines like index numbers on the old post envelopes. The Christian women, who can embroider, can help to make such armband. Or try do it youself. It is not hard to do it with accuracy.
I would like to add, that in old-slavonic language the first letters of the Name of Jesus Christ are writing like Greek ones – IX.


If Christians begin to wear such sign, they can recognize each other and support each other as spiritually as with other ways in addition to first. They can give salutation each other, pointing with three fingers (index, middle and ring) at the sign. If who wish, that can make such sign on the cap.
If some antagonists of Christ will protest against wearing such sign, you can say them:
If you don’t love Jesus Christ, let this sign mean for you only numbers “9.” in triangle and “+ positive’ and no more.
If you like my idea, answer me.
The Name of Jesus Christ is the principal weapon of Christians.

It is forbidden in public places in Franse, in some states in USA.


"Public places" where not everyone has an interest or someone may be offended, and/or if the public places are connected to a government entity, is a lot different than "western countries they forbid to confess or preach the Name of Jesus Christ".

By the way, Audrey...How is it in Russia. We hear stories, but you never know for certain...Always nice to get a "locals" perspective.

Hey Andrey! :)

My understanding of wisdom would bring me to these conclusions:

If the Spirit is prompting us to preach the Gospel, then as Peter and John exclaimed, we obey God not men. If we are not prompted to do so, then we always obey the Lord, and as Francis of Assisi wisely said, 'preach the gospel always, use words if necessary'. Thus we live!

I seen today at the start of a big race day at Bathurst, some so called Christian fool on TV only referring to Jesus, he never said Jesus Christ as he should of, as Jesus could be any type of saviour ? but not necessarily our Christ.
You should be aware of the cunning dogs who are just like the Golden Calf people who tried to kill our Holy Moses and destroyed the Jewish Israel people. and there is many of that lot on this forum trying to lead you all astray. they point to a easy way that robes you of true salvation.

Anyway i have this red line warning me i will be kicked off this forum i think.

I have tried to warn people of the Anti Christ at work in the So called people
who call themselves Jews and the poor foolish people everywhere that support the people who hate our Lord and Saviour but they are so blinded by this world full of idolatry but they are being lead down the garden path to their own destruction of their Soul.
Anyway it was good to see some people striving to following the Lord.
I came on this forum because i was fed up with uni educated atheist socialist i have been contending with on another forum and i have been only been confirmed now in reading some of the rubbish thats on this forum some say, that they were right in there position of bagging so called Christians they are on about. it makes it hard for us people who are in Christ to show them the real Jesus Christ.

Always speak the truth in love, always in love! :)

We exemplify Christ when we show forth the fruit of the spirit by faith, and when we bless those who revile us, and rejoice in persecution. There is a time to speak, on the other hand, it is always time to show forth his character!

I just saw that quote the other day! I agree with you, also.

As believers, this is why we must always remain and follow the Spirit, we need His wisdom when sharing, when to share, who to share it with, or should we simply show them the love of God by what we do.

There are some missionaries going to China, who either smuggle the Bibles in, but there are some who are convicted of this, that it IS deceitful when the laws of their land is that no Bible should be coming in. So they pray that the Bibles will be invisible, or they simply won't be caught - that is faith - and there are stories where the Bible is out in the opened and they were not caught. If God wants it preached somewhere, He will make a way for it to happen, regardless of what we believe the reality to be.

Yes. There's such a thing as having zeal, but no wisdom, been there! :lol:

In all things, we must seek the leading of the Lord. There is so much that can be done just by actions, and sometimes that is all that is required at a moment.

Just a quote I read that goes well with this subject... Very deep

Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage, and wisdom moves the world.

Now in Russia Christianity have certain successes, but this moving is enough slow.
For example I don't see the street criminality as it was in Soviet period and in 90th years. When I was teenager (in Soviet period) I very often was robbed on streets of other young men and I often was beaten of them. But my son was in such situations more less times, then I was. I think because the revival of the Church and the religion conscience began to influence more and more.
There are two trends in our country - Christian renaissance and spiritual degradation of them, who do not partake in Christian life.

Now I carry on my cap a sign - a very little crown (1 cm) with very little equally ended cross (3 mm). Such a way I mean that I have the King of Heaven upon me. Some people, when see at my sign, have for a little moment a fright in their eyes, but only for a little moment. Many of men carry a different sort of inscriptions and signs on their caps and clothes, but others men are indifferent to their signs or inscriptions. Why some of them are afraid with such a little Сhristian sign?

Is there a need to be "discrete" with your faith, or symbols of your faith?

During rising persecution, many who were 'quiet' will speak forth and many of the previous 'loudmouths' will shrink in silence. Read Richard Wurmbrand's testimonies.

If you want a snapshot of what is coming for Christians, read the book "The Criminalization of Christianity" by Janet Folger.

Things we take for granted now are already being turned into criminal offenses.

My thought on that is 'let it be an offense'! And let it be a wake up call to a dead church!

If we are to suffer great persecution to finally awake and become true witnesses of the life that is hid in Christ, it would be better for us than a comfortable life.

The flip side of that is, the less freedom there is for Christians, the less opportunity to witness and save as many people possible before Christ's return.

That is, after all, our mandate, no?

Yes and no. I agree there is two sides to the issue. It would be far better that we wake up now and use the freedom! :)

But the church is founded on the blood of the martyrs... If the true men of God rise when the church is persecuted, then the church becomes unstoppable. One is killed, and ten rise. The difference? The conversions are real, and deep!

May we have the privilege of seeing such life, and dying for our master!
