Lately all we hear about is persecution. Hearing of the horrific things that happen in the middle east can make a person tremble. We live in a day and age where everything around the world is going to ruins. But today I wanna talk about the persecution that goes on right here in modern day America. The kind of persecution that makes people stop and wonder, "Is this worth it?" I know the people being persecuted by ISIS must be going through so much more, and yet they are trying to get through it. I'm here to say I get it. I understand. I want to help. And I want you to understand. God isn't up there watching and not caring. He feels your hurt, your trial, your sadness. The trials you are going through right now are getting you ready. Ready for the next stage in your life. I'm not saying disregard your trials. I'm just saying that there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
I will bring that group of people through the fire, and make them pure. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them. I will say 'These are My people' and they will say 'The LORD is our GOD'. Zechariah 13:9
The Lord will test us but we have to come out a better person. God is equipping us for our next stage in life. Now I want to talk about our schools and our churches. I want to say thank you to those out there who are in earnest and trying their hardest to live for Christ. I wanna say that God sees you. Your works are not going unseen. I also need to say don't let the kids who have decided that being a Christian isn't cool or important, do not let them get you down. We have to deal with these people in life. On top of that try to keep your eyes on the prize. I know what it is to cry over people who have decided to ignore you because you are living for God.
But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior, therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me................ Jeremiah 20:11
The Lord has not forsaken you. He stands beside you as you fight the good fight. Don't give up. Know that you are not the only ones. Know that we know how you feel but none more than Jesus.
If the world hates you know that it hated me before you. For if you were of the world then they would love you; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word I said to you, "A servant is not greater than his master." If they persecuted Me they will persecute you also. John 15:18-19
Hold on to Jesus. Hope in him.
My Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. And the peace I give is not a gift the world can give. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Jeremiah 1:9
