How to stay strong when we face persecution.

Matthew 5:9-12 NKJV

Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. ¹² Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

God blesses those that are for peace and always makes sure they are at peace with one another. Those that are faced with persecution due to righteousness are blessed by God and they will see heaven. God blesses those that live for Him and are persecuted, insulted, and harmed because of Him. We should be rejoicing when we are persecuted and insulted because we put out who we believe in and serve on this planet. It hurts a lot to be persecuted, slammed and insulted becasue we have a flesh and we are humans. The flesh is weak but when we revert ourslevs back to the word of God, God Himself reminds us that we are not to be discouraged, shaken, and troubled by what the world is pushing at us. Jesus Christ Himself was persecuted and not welcomed and spitted on. He is God and a Prophet and what else can we not see and know about how hard it is to serve and obey God. We were told before we said yes to Him. When we read the word of God, and God is not revealing Himself to us through what we read , because the Holy Spirit is not moving in the midst of our understanding of the word, we will not know exaclty how to react when we are in that situation. As our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died for us on the cross, and was resurrected, He took all the harships upon him on the cross and wants us to know that we will always overcome any hardships we face when we follow Him because He has the keys for us to be always conquerors and winners no matter what if we keep on pressing deeper into Him.

As we lift up our heads, let us keep on believing what we are to do with Him on this earth and know that He is for us and not against us. JCTIM is exhorting all of you to trust in Abba Father deeply that has all the Power and we will never be impacted by all these harships forever. We believe in the Word, the Holy Spirit and he is our Power. We need to be reminded to thank Him, sing and rejoice at all times if God is for us, who can be against us.

Prayer:

Jehovah God, I thank you very much for being my God, my Father, my Lord of lords, my King of kings, my Maker. I thank you for making me in your image. I praise your holy name and ask you to help me to be closer to you than before. I want to have your heart, your mind, your confidence and your energy. Thank you Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for me, my sins and thank you for being my Resurrection

Lord as we seek your face and turn from our wicked ways, hear us oh Lord. Forgive our sins and heal our land, our wounds, our minds, our bodies. Don’t let us sink into destruction in Jesus Christ, s name.

Jehovah God, I pray that the precious blood of Jesus Christ washes my sins, makes me white as snow, fights for me and wins battles for me in Jesus Christ’s name.

Jehovah God, please let my life align with your purpose for me on this planet. Open your heavens upon me, open the eyes of my heart, make me live for you, make me dwell in your courts and dwell in my soul forever. Be Lord and Savior in every area of my life and let your light be seen in all sorts of activities I take part of daily and nightly. Cause me to win all the time and teach me to lean on you and not men who can lie and change their minds in Jesus Christ’s name I have prayed.

Amen!
