Brother Yun, known as The Heavenly Man, spoke at our services on Sunday, as well as at our school yesterday. Our Minister of Global Missions, Doug Sarver, recorded some incredible insights shared by Brother Yun. Doug has sent them to me, and I wanted you to be able to use them devotionally today, as well as in the future. Brother Yun, a Chinese preacher who has spent much of his life in prison for the gospel, is now being used by God globally as the work of God is exploding in China. Please let God speak to you through these words.

Brother Yun stated the following in various settings:

My first official certificate of ministry was an arrest warrant.

My first vacation house was a Chinese prison.

To succeed as a servant of God you must be willing to die for Christ.

We want to bring the gospel from the Great Wall of China to the West Wall of Israel.

Man can put you in prison, but no one can isolate you from the presence of God.

Jesus hears every individual voice of His sheep.

Your prison is Real, but Jesus is the TRUTH…stand up and walk out!

No matter how real your problems are, they are no greater than the truth of Jesus Christ.

I must know who I am and who I am not. (Speaking about keys to a victorious spiritual life)

He (God) speaks in a way we can understand. (Speaking on his prayer life)

It doesn’t matter what others say Jesus is, YOU must know who Jesus really is for yourself.

With a heavenly calling, no difficulties can destroy your future.

If I am going to be a Christian, I want to be the BEST Christian.

You may be locked in prison, but never allow the prison to be locked in your heart.

It was pain, but it wasn’t suffering. (spoken in regard to his receiving electrical shock torture in prison)

When you share the gospel, you are promised God’s presence.

The American church is too much like a Supermarket, you always want the best “deals.”

Let God not just stir you with these, but change you today.
