Going through some real crazy
things right now with my health, the body is revolting against our attempts to
calm it down. But we will get it settled
shortly – at least that is our prayer.
Psalm 56:2-6 Mine enemies would
daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most
High.
3 What time I am afraid, I
will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise his
word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto
me.
5 Every day they wrest my
words: all their thoughts are against me for
evil.
6 They gather themselves
together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my
soul.
These words are just as true
today as when written.
Everywhere we look someone in
lying in wait to trap us. They ban
together with the explicit desire to rid Christ’s people from the planet. They plan our demise, they test our leaders
and then condemn them over their stand in Christ.
What satan has been doing in
other parts of the world for hundreds of years is coming to America. The physical persecution the utilization of
government to prosecute those that proclaim the Word of God and Gospel of Christ
is no longer speculation, but fact.
But, even here it is not
something new. Satan has been working at
it since the country was formed and has gained tremendous momentum in the past
decade; with no sign of slowing down.
We really are at war. Satan’s minions are working hard to force
Christians to deny God’s Word and deny the Christ who was sent to save all of
us.
We can take comfort in the fact
that Christ has never been defeated. He
rose from the grave as the Savior of all mankind and even though His Words have
been misrepresented, even though the world has tried to destroy Him they have
not succeeded.
Yes, millions have died at the
hands of the oppressors as they refused to obey the world’s commands. But God’s Word, the work of the Holy Spirit,
the deliverance of Christians along with the affirmation of Christ has given us
strength and assurance that Jesus will stand by us even onto our death.
We know that deliberate and
difficult persecution, far greater than we have ever experienced as Christians
in America is coming. We need to prepare
our hearts and mind for those vicious attacks and be ready to stand no matter
what.
Later, Art :-)
