When we are following the Lord Jesus and living by faith in Him we will most certainly face opposition at some point in our walk with the Lord. There will be people who won't like us and they won't like what we have to say. We believers in Jesus Christ may experience persecution of various degrees. We must not back down from our beliefs and we must stand firm upon the Word of God.
The Holy Bible is the only Holy book that proclaims the absolute truth about who the true living God is and how we all can be reconciled back to Him through the Lord Jesus Christ. The way the world is going things will grow increasingly difficult and dangerous for people who cling to the truth of God and His Holy Word, the Bible.
The Lord Jesus told us that in this world we will have trouble, but He also told us to take heart because He has overcome the world. We believers in Christ have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us and He will help us to proclaim the truth about God and He will help us have courage when persecution comes.
The times are growing very difficult and we are getting very close to the time when the eastern sky will open and the Lord Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven on His white horse and bring the Kingdom of God to the earth in full completion.
When people hate us and say mean things about us we must forgive them and stay focused on the Lord Jesus. Let's lift our eyes unto the hills for our help comes from the Lord who made the Heavens and the earth. May we not get discouraged, but may we lift our heads high for our redemption is drawing ever so near.
Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Help us not to get discouraged when people treat us badly.
Empower us to love others as You love us.
Lead us and guide us by Your Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
