Persecution: What is the Christian To Do?

Someone on Twitter just asked me about what God will do to DC politicians who are not recognizing our first amendment right to "freedom of religion." I say, "do not judge others, for you will be judged the way you have judged them!"

I did reply, but I don't think my head was in the same place his was? His was about judgment, my thoughts were about God's protection? Isaiah 54:17 states "No weapon formed against me shall prosper." He's talking about the politicians in DC who could care one wit about our religious freedom's at this point. But our enemies aren't in DC, they are above our heads!

In Ephesians 6:12 it says: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Anyone who studies biblical prophecy or "Eschatology" is fully aware that the "Gog and Magog," war is well underway. America almost has to step aside, (be weak), in order for God's will to go forward, and if it looks like we're being destroyed by a bunch of complete idiots? Guess what? GOD IS ULTIMATELY IN CONTROL OF THOSE IDIOTS! HE IS USING THEM TO BRING ABOUT THE END IN HIS PERFECT TIMING! THE CLOCK, IT ULTIMATELY BELONGS TO GOD, NOT MAN!

Have you been wondering about that? Doesn't it just seem like all of our current leaders, aren't just completely corrupt, they seem completely inept and just plain ole dumb? This deal with Iran should've been your first clue Christian! It's HORRIBLE! I mean, seriously, in what parallel universe do we have to "defend Iran from Israel?" SERIOUSLY? That should have been one of your first "wake up calls" if you're not already wide awake! GOD IS RUNNIN THIS SHOW! DEAL WITH IT! Seriously Christians! IT'S TIME TO WAKE THE HECK UP! The hashtag on Twitter, #WAKEUPAMERICA should be #WAKEUPCHRISTIANS! Why aren't we using that one?

Jesus is going to come "Like a thief," very soon! It's time to grab that bible, (that sword that you can slay the devil with? Yeah, it's laying dusty on your shelf! Dust it off, and start praying on your knees, that God will find YOU worthy!). I pray every day that God will somehow, even through all of my horrible sins of the past, that I am somehow found worthy to be taken with Him! I know in my heart He is coming soon, and that He's coming for me! I'm going with Him, but let me let you in on a little secret?

I think Pastor John Hagee said it the best."If you're not expecting Him, you're not going with Him!"

In Luke 21, when Jesus was describing what we are to watch for as a sign of His coming, He said, "But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to the synagogues and put you in prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name." (Luke 21:12). Uh, didn't we just see that happen in Kentucky with a democrat who refused to sign a marriage license for a gay couple? Yeah, her name is "Kim Davis?" Governor Huckabee stood up for her? What happens when nobody can stand up for anyone else?

Jesus tells us in Matthew 24, about "wars and rumors of wars," which is happening. "Earthquakes, in various places," which have been happening, He warned us "do not let anyone deceive you, for many will come in my Name, claiming 'I am the Messiah' and will deceive many." Guess what? That's happening too! If you're in a church, that isn't talking about the end? GO FIND ONE THAT IS!

Look at Ezekiel 38 and look up on Google all the places listed in that chapter. (Hint: We are the "villages" or "Young lions," listed just after "The Merchants of Tarshish). We're going to watch this happen! The king of the North, Russia, joined with the kings of the south, Iran, will soon come after Israel! The "cloud on the land," has already begun to form through ISIS! Oh yeah, we're CLOSE!

Jesus said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasure in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can sere two masters! Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 

Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at he birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow? They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you - o ye of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father know that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:19-34)

In late April 2012 when I started this blog, I was lost, ruining my life on my own path, but God is going to use that, to help me to help Him! God doesn't waste one teeny tiny thing that we've been through! He uses it all to make a beautiful masterpiece!

"O grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them beauty for ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting, so they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." (Isaiah 61:3).

So stop complaining, crying out, worrying, it is simply not Godly! Call upon the Lord, and He will give you such mercy! I should know, I've received so much mercy from Him, and so many times, I didn't even see it, and boy, what I missed! Don't be like I was? Don't miss one thing that He has stored up for you!

"So do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. My Father's house has many rooms. If that were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me, that you also may be where I am." (John 14:1-3).

He is coming soon! Be at peace! Rejoice, for we will soon be delivered from this evil world. He said "it shall be in the days of Noah," and the evil is GROWING ever more dangerous, is it not? So stop worrying! Jesus has you covered!

No matter what you've done, or where you're at in your walk with Him, He loves you anyway! Don't ever forget it! He's coming soon to redeem us!

Oh Lord, please, come and change our hearts again!
