Website blocked in China

sermonindex Jan 28, 2011

Hi guys,

I used to have several hits a week, sometimes more, from China. For a couple of months now I have had nothing from China. I found out that there are free services to see if countries are blocking your website ( here is one http://www.watchmouse.com ) and to my great saddness, my site is blocked in China. Makes me want to go there. Anyway, if someone wants to join me I pray that this block would be defeated in the name of Jesus..........brother Frank

I get tingles down my spine every time I check my web logs and see access from China. I had never considered brethren might be trying to access my site from there. But apparently they do. Glory to God for such an opportunity.

Brother, I will pray. Do note that china is a very large country and they will block sites just for parts of the country and not the whole at times. But if you are blocked from the hong kong servers then that might mean you are blocked from the entire country.

I would do this: test out other wordpress blogs. I believe they probably blocked all of wordpress.com Just a hunch.

I will be praying too Brother Frank that God will tear down the walls and do a miracle here. Glorify Yourself here Lord.

Brother Frank, Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Start another site under another name, preferably a freebie site. And upload your entire collection to that site. If the regular Chinese who were searching your material know that the wordpress site has been blocked, they will do searches with the content that they read on your site and in time find the new site and the word will get around for the new site. If that gets discovered and is blocked, do another site.

Be encouraged brother, we have the power at our fingertips.

I just did check my 95 theses site: http://95moderntheses.wordpress.com and its not blocked at all. So you might have a problem brother. "Approved" had a great suggestion above, don't delete or stop the current site but make a mirror.

I like the suggestion of a mirror site. May the Lord bless our Chinese brothers and sisters.........brother Frank

Hi Brother,

I dropped you a PM with some other thoughts.

There are vibrant Chinese Christians Fellowships, and at least three fully fledged Chinese churches with pastors in the UK, where you might find some willing support, in that you have a message, and they have the language expertise. I'm thinking podcasts and downloads mainly, rather than a website. There may also be some IT experts among the Christians here (and in the US).

Thanks alive-to-God...........

It will be no surprise to anyone that the internet in Egypt is closed right now to everyone. The people of Egypt seem to be rising up against that regime. Over 40% of Egyptians live on less than $2 a day. It seems that they have finally grown weary of this. It also seems that there is much wealth in this country but in the hands of a tiny amount of people. Most of the protestors are peacefull and are being viciously beaten by the police who are loyal to that regime.

May our prayers be with the people of Egypt. I believe that there is something deep down in every Christian that despises injustice, wherever it is found.

On a sidenote, much of the protests were organized on facebook. The power of the internet and communication is very evident here. I believe that the days of kingdom against kingdom is at hand. Kingdom comes from the greek word " ethnos," where we get our word " ethnic," from. We have seen the " nation against nation," now we are seeing civil strife made all the larger and more dangerous for governments becuase of mass communication. Perhaps one more sign that the beginnning of sorrows has begun?.......brother Frank

There's a petition going on for this woman.. http://www.change.org/petitions/view/gov_kasich_pardon_ms_kelley_williams-bolars_unfair_sentencing_for_fraud_and_theft

So I googled it. 700 results! For this one woman in Ohio!

I read some where that the Reformation was when the printing press was invented, and this is quite possibly was the reason for why it spread so much.

Could something similar occur with the vast amount of communication via the internet?

people can always use a proxy server. That's where you can bypass restrictions and blocked sites.

Well Frank, China has blocked the word "Egypt" from it's servers. Whether it's Christian or not, it doesn't matter to the Chinese.

I read the story brother, interesting how fearful the Chinese authorities are. I remember the Tianimin square massacare and how sad that was. There is a wind blowing right now and lots of shaking going on. One can only imagine what the middle east will look like once the dust settles. God knows and I am glad that He does, since it is He who is undoubtedly doing the shaking.........brother Frank

Hi Frank, so true.

For all of my life the days of China being a mighty power again, to fulfil biblical prophecy about herself, seemed futuristic, but we see it now. Some decades ago the authorities realised that the church increased in proportion to the martyrs creatd by severe persecution. For sure the word of God was sown there very long ago, and has continued to multiply, though. The item in News about Wang, surely proves He has amazing ways of bringing Himself to a person's attention.

Httptrack is a free program that will copy an entire website plus sublinks so you can upload and make a mirror.

Just make sure you have enough disk space.

Today, what seems to be happening is that it's not so much nation rising against nation though that has been going on since the dawn of time, but we see nations in turmoil within their own country. Whenever we see this shaking up as you so aptly put, there is a shifting of powers taking place in the world. Whenever God moves things around in the Spirit realm, there is a corresponding reaction in the natural. For a time, it will look like a country is gone completely crazy, I expect soon the United States will be in such a place. The rest of the world will be dumbfounded by what will take place in the U.S.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
