Greetings my fellow Christian brothers and sisters.

How do you feel about persecution for Christianity? There are places in
this world that people are persecuted daily and not giving up on their firm beliefs in our Holy Father God and his Son Jesus. They suffer no matter
what and stand firm on the world. There are even bibles in minority
languages around the world.

It's a blessing for persecution. It proves to me that God is real and the people that are Christian and suffer for it are humbling themselves to God.

Some people have the easy road depending on where you live and some have it very hard. People are being treated in a hostile environment for their
belief. I commend these people that are strong on the Lord Jesus Christ!

It is wrong to judge people on their race, political or religious beliefs.
Who is to say what we should believe no matter who we are. Me, myself, I
love everybody and know there is good in every single person; especially
those that are strong in our Lord Jesus.

There is also bible training to those that suffer on a regular basis. It's
not easy for everyone. In fact it can be very damaging to someone's spirit when you go day by day; but Thank You Jesus for those that stand firm on
your Word, on You Lord Jesus and our God.

We need to set time during our prayer time; which should be always... it
pray for those in the Underground Church where they have to find a safe
spot to proclaim the Word of God, to spread the Word through their nations.

It's a wonder how much longer this is going to take until Jesus brings us
all home. I believe that persecution strengthens the church. It's written
in scripture that there will be trials and tribulations in days like these.

Are we just going to set aside our beliefs or are we going to stand united?
My hope is that we all stand together as believers in the Lord Jesus and
stand firm on Him and his Holy Word while He sits firmly on the right hand
of God.

It's going to be a glorious day when we meet our Heavenly Father. May your
day be complete and don't forget to pray.

In Jesus Name and all the praise and glory to Him. Amen.
