About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"PRAISE GOD FOR PERSECUTION!!!!" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
PRAISE GOD FOR PERSECUTION!!!!
ARE YOU NOW, OR HAVE YOU EVER, BEEN PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR JESUS? IF YOU HAVE, GOOD...REJOICE...BE GLAD...PRAY THAT IT WILL CONTINUE. DO YOU THINK I AM NUTS FOR SAYING ALL THIS? LOOK WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN MATTHEW 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. NOW YOU SEE WHY I CAN SAY THIS.
IF YOU ARE NOT BEING PERSECUTED, MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE OUTGOING IN SHARING THE LOVE OF JESUS. SURE SOME PEOPLE WILL CALL YOU A JESUS FREAK BUT THEY CAN CALL ME THAT ALL THEY WANT TO BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. IT JUST GIVES ME MORE FUEL FOR THE FIRE. NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, YOU CAN'T JUST GO OUT AND BE OBNOXIOUS WITH THE WORD OF GOD. YOU HAVE TO SHOW LOVE IN ALL YOU DO AND IT IS THAT LOVE THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TO JESUS. JUST LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU STAND AND DON'T COMPROMISE.
WHEN YOU ARE BEING PERSECUTED, JESUS IS ALSO BEING PERSECUTED. LOOK WHAT HE SAYS TO SAUL (JESUS CHANGED HIS NAME TO PAUL). IN ACTS 9:4 SAUL HEARD JESUS SAY "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" SAUL WAS ACTUALLY PERSECUTING THE JEWS BUT WHEN GOD'S KIDS ARE IN TROUBLE, HE COMES TO THEIR RESCUE. THIS WAS A BIG CHANGE FOR SAUL, NOW PAUL. IT REALLY MUST HAVE BEEN BECAUSE HE WENT ON TO WRITE ABOUT A THIRD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. PRAISE GOD THAT HE WAS DOING THE PERSECUTING AT THAT TIME. GOD USED HIM IN A BIG WAY.
DO YOU WANT GOD TO USE YOU IN A BIG WAY? I KNOW I DO AND I KNOW I HAVE TO DO MY PART TO GET READY. WE HAVE TO STAY IN HIS WORD, OTHERWISE HOW WILL WE KNOW WHAT TO TEACH OR HOW TO SHARE THE MESSAGE JESUS WANTS US TO SHARE WITH THE WHOLE WORLD. YOU CAN'T SHARE SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT. GET INTO HIS WORD AND STAY IN IT AND FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM. IT IS A GREAT FEELING TO TALK TO HIM AND A GREATER FEELING TO HEAR WHAT HE SAYS. HE WILL TALK TO YOU, IF YOU WILL ONLY LISTEN.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
